I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Uchiha Genkai was so excited simply because the clan leader's name was exactly the same as his son's.

However, if he knew what happened next, he probably wouldn't be so calm.

In the comic book shop, Akabane was quite hesitant about this.

The next episode is crucial; it involves something very secretive—the stone tablet at the Nanga Shrine.

The Naka River is a very special place. It is the ancestral home of the Uchiha clan from long ago. The great battle between the Uchiha and Senju clans took place near the Naka River.

Therefore, the Naga Shrine is actually the ancestral temple of the Uchiha clan, and the location of the stone tablet is very hidden. Apart from some members of the Uchiha clan, most others probably have no idea that the stone tablet exists.

It's easy to draw, but how do you explain that you know about this stone tablet?

Akabane has a headache.

If we ignore this point in the plot, it seems impossible to convince all readers, and it would make Sasuke's behavior towards Naruto seem even more absurd and bizarre.

"How to do!"

He had a terrible headache.

Without a doubt, if the exact location were revealed, the entire Uchiha clan would come knocking on his door, demanding to know how he knew such a secret.

You cannot mention the specific location!

Akabane took a deep breath, rejecting his plan to write down a location like "the seventh tatami mat from the right," and instead decided to use "the secret of the Namaka River" instead.

"This is the only way, otherwise the whole village will suspect me. I'll just use the Uchiha secret as a substitute, and I can use guesswork and reasoning as excuses. Although it's a bit far-fetched, luckily I've always acted smart and I've been able to access some of the Anbu's and Tobirama Senju's remaining records..."

Akabane muttered to himself.

He then began to draw.

This chapter is of great importance, and to prevent his shadow clones from causing trouble, he chose to draw the chapter himself.

Once he had a clear idea, he began to draw.

After the changes, there were fewer scenes of Itachi and Sasuke interacting, and some of the later content was moved to the beginning.

In the remaining storyline, Itachi Uchiha only mentioned things like "the Nanka River hides the Uchiha's secrets" without specifying the location. Sasuke only found the so-called secret through his own search.

of course.

These scenes were also glossed over, without specifying where they were.

Akabane racked his brains to keep the manga on its original trajectory, and only now is it considered to be without any major problems.

Although the Uchiha clan still gets angry sometimes, it's not a big problem.

The remaining Uchiha clan members are relatively friendly with Konoha, and their attitude is not as extreme as that of the people left behind by Madara. If it were the previous group, he would have dared to draw it like that, and those people would have dared to riot the next day to "purge the court of evil ministers and eliminate Akabane".

After finishing these drawings, Akabane breathed a sigh of relief and instructed Kurama Unro to send this volume to Yamano Izumi Kou.

Once the update is done, I can take a nap or go out and have some fun.

However, upon closer reflection, it seemed that he hadn't completed some task. He left the comic book store and strolled around the street. After walking a few steps, he saw a figure flash by in front of him.

"Hmm, I remember now, the training graduation test..."

Akabane patted his head.

He's been quite busy these past few days, which has made his memory seem a bit off. Of course, the main reason is that he hasn't taken the matter to heart.

This graduation test is just a formality, like a diagnostic test, to check their progress over the past period, and it is not intended to actually eliminate anyone.

Since it's not the final exam, I can just do something casually.

Akabane couldn't help but feel sleepy.

He used to think he wanted to sleep because he was physically weak, but after exchanging many physical strengths, he realized that it wasn't a physical problem, but simply that he was lazy.

I understand, but I just can't shake this lazy habit.

He was torn between going and not going, and finally sighed and said, "Zixiao still has a few days left before his mission, so I'll go and train in his place, at least let him have a break."

One should not be like Huang Shiren (a notorious landlord in Chinese folklore).

Akabane activated Flying Thunder God Technique, instantly reaching the preparation area.

Zixiao was still training, and he was quite diligent. He looked at the genin with a sense of satisfaction and joy, and he was even more immersed in the role of the training instructor than Chiyu.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Zi Xiao was very surprised.

As a teammate, he knew Akabane quite well. Generally speaking, this guy wouldn't come to the reserve club unless he had something important to do.

"You should know about the mission by now, right?"

Akabane said in a low voice.

He had already sensed his Flying Thunder God Technique from Zi Xiao, which showed that Zi Xiao had already received the mission, but had not yet gone out.

"Ah, I'll leave in a few days."

Zi Xiao nodded.

"Also, I remember that the second nature transformation you mastered is earth, and earth is quite effective against water. I'll teach you one or two earth-style techniques for self-defense."

The Land of Water primarily uses Water Release techniques, while Earth Release techniques excel in defense. Mastering more Earth Release techniques can enhance Zixiao's self-protection capabilities.

Akabane was going to teach him two types of ninjutsu.

The earth flows over the wall, and the earth splits and turns to the palm.

The former is an out-and-out defensive ninjutsu, while the latter is a relatively convenient earth-style offensive ninjutsu.

Redeeming them doesn't require many points; compared to what Chiyu earns, it's a drop in the ocean.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. It's not unreasonable for me to accept some payment for teaching for a while."

Zi Xiao said half-jokingly.

These two ninjutsu are relatively simple and can be mastered and used in a short time. Moreover, the Earth Split Palm has a strong Iwa ninja style.

He was quite talented, even comparable to ordinary ninjas, and Zixiao quickly mastered these two relatively easy techniques.

Akabane didn't let him linger any longer, but waved him off to go have some fun, while he personally instructed the genin.

These genin have improved their strength considerably in just a few days.

Putting aside others, Uchiha Rin's taijutsu has improved significantly, and Shikame's body also looks much more robust, no longer as frail as before.

Good thing!

Of course, he ignored the resentment in their eyes.

Students, after all, all came from that era.

Akabane pretended not to see it and continued their training, finally announcing the plan to conduct a test three days later.

After announcing the testing plan, he left behind a shadow clone and quietly slipped away.

Since the spell was set up in the comic book store, Akabane glanced at the comment section by the door after leaving the store. Since it was set up, more and more people have been leaving their comments here.

They have to clean it up every time there's an update, otherwise there's nowhere to post it.

Akabane glanced at it casually, as usual.

However, he soon noticed some unusual signs: there were significantly more comments about One Piece online.

Many comments mentioned "the Seven Warlords of the Sea," "Ace," and "the Whitebeard Pirates," and many also expressed interest in the encounter between Ace and Luffy, as well as Smoker's next move.

It seems that as the story progresses, everyone is gradually realizing how exciting One Piece is.

Akabane was very pleased.

While it can't compare to the number of Naruto stickers, it's a significant improvement over the previous one or two stickers for Sakumo.

He believes that as the story unfolds, people will grow to love the manga more and more, rather than just those like Sakumo and Yoru who enjoy One Piece because of personal reasons.

In short, things will get better gradually!

Chapter 255 Namaka River, the Uchiha's Secret!

"Chieftain! Chieftain! Something terrible has happened!"

Early in the morning.

Outside the Uchiha Genkai residence, a person ran towards them, shouting as they approached.

"What happened?"

Uchiha Genkai frowned slightly. As an elite member of the Uchiha clan, how could he be so flustered when faced with a situation?

"Clan leader, please look, this is the content updated this morning at Kurama Akabane's comic book store."

"Ah."

Uchiha Genkai took it and glanced at it, then frowned slightly, looked up at him and said, "I remember you were in charge of patrolling and protecting the village. Why did you abandon your post and come to the clan?"

"You read comics..."

"No matter the reason, anyone who leaves their post without permission will be punished by the guard team."

Uchiha Genkai tapped his head with a comic book.

The Uchiha clansman bowed respectfully and then hurried toward the guard unit.

As the clan leader said, although he was a member of the Uchiha clan, he was also a member of the guard team and had the responsibility of protecting the village. It was indeed wrong of him to leave his post without permission.

Uchiha Genkai glanced at the comic book in his hand and pondered silently.

This volume must depict something important. That guy risked dereliction of duty to deliver it. Is it related to the Uchiha Clan Massacre Night storyline?

At this moment, the clan's territory became noisy.

It seems so...

Uchiha Genkai turned to the first page, which continued the daily life of Itachi and Sasuke.

Judging from the beginning, Itachi was undoubtedly a complete brother-complex character, but the sweeter the relationship was before, the more heartbreaking the twists and turns became later.

Uchiha Genkai had actually guessed some of it.

The Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul. When you receive love, understand love, and then lose love, you will awaken an incredible power and subsequently awaken your own Sharingan.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Sasuke was going through this process.

of course.

For Itachi, it might be the same process.

As he thought this, he looked down and saw Itachi mentioning the "theory of hatred" during his conversation with Sasuke, which further solidified his suspicions.

Itachi's ultimate goal was to awaken Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan, the legendary power of the Uchiha clan.

That's really a lot of effort...

Uchiha Genkai sighed softly and turned the page. Knowing first that his clan had been wiped out, he knew what would happen next.

But then, Shisui appeared—

Even though he only exists in the dialogue, Uchiha Genkai still sensed his difference.

This character is not a stereotypical extra.

Judging from Itachi's reaction, he must have some kind of connection with Itachi, and may even be Itachi's good friend.

Drowning oneself in a river—a kaleidoscope of emotions?

"To be at the forefront of any mission for the sake of one's people? What a ridiculous statement. Just as foolish and laughable as those who want to leave the village."

Uchiha Genkai couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

Completely disregarding the last words, these people only cared about losing a useful tool called "Instantaneous Stillness." They never paid attention to the thoughts of their fellow tribesmen, only thinking about their own "great cause."

The manga presents an even more insane Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Shisui's sacrifice was meaningless.

As he himself wrote in the note, having seen no hope and unwilling to lay a hand on his people, he had no choice but to commit suicide.

These are just guesses, but he felt that this was basically the case. Unsurprisingly, Itachi had already activated the Mangekyou Sharingan.

After watching the various parts of the story, he fell silent.
