I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Shuo Mao and Zi Xiao are strong enough, right?

He went to the battlefield at the young age of thirteen and earned the Jonin rank through his own strength.

People don't know much about Zixiao, but it's said that he was promoted to Chunin recently. In a test battle, Zixiao used only one hand and didn't even use ninjutsu to easily defeat their strongest opponent.

The difference is significant.

Without exception, when they mentioned Akabane, they both used the word "pervert".

Despite being incredibly lazy, his true abilities are never apparent.

Every time I think I can beat him, I always end up losing. For example, last time, Sakumo was taught a lesson.

In short, everyone's just trash-talking; they wouldn't dare to actually fight in a real fight.

"Tch, we finally got out of the reserve department. You want to fight, but I don't."

Lu Ming picked up a comic book and lazily lay back in the chair.

Fighting is too tiring. He's been practicing for over a month and he's so tired of it that he's practically throwing up. He wishes he could spend the rest of his life in the village.

"Lu Ming, what are you planning to do next?"

In autumn, one can feast and drink amidst the mountains.

His body has become much more robust, and although he still has the same amount of fat, he looks very reliable.

"Someone as smart as me can't avoid it even if I want to. In a few days, we'll most likely be teamed up with a Jonin and start a mission career with a difficulty level of C or higher."

Lu Ming said calmly.

Fighting is too tiring; he's been training so hard he's practically throwing up for over a month. He wishes he could spend the rest of his life in the village, but gold can't be hidden no matter what...

Sigh, the troubles of being excellent.

"cut."

Uchiha Ryo scoffed and sat down cross-legged to continue reading the comic.

He hadn't seen them since Sasuke's defection; he had secretly used his shadow clones to buy them during training.

“Akaba Tsuyoshi definitely submitted the report, but I have no idea who it was.”

Lu Ming grabbed a handful of food from the first level.

Eating while reading comics seems quite pleasant.

"Some people performed very well in this test. According to the comprehensive evaluation, they have reached the strength standard for missions of C level or above. Therefore, they are granted early graduation and can form a four-person team with Jonin."

Akabane sat down. "Among them are Shikame, Akimichi Ichijō, Yamanaka Tori, Uchiha Ryō, Inuzuka Iki..."

"really."

No one was surprised.

This group of people is indeed stronger than the others. Some of them may be slightly weaker in strength, but their wisdom is superior.

"Alright, I'll treat everyone to barbecue tonight. Go back and rest for a while. After this period, except for the fifteen people who are with the Jonin, the rest of you will have to go back to the reserve department for training."

Akabane sat down and began chatting with everyone.

In the preparatory department, he was the teacher and the others were the students, but now that we've left the preparatory department, we're all classmates and friends, so there's no need to be too serious.

These people had been locked up for a month and felt incredibly stifled. After they were released, they read through all the updates they had accumulated, and they were all extremely excited, making comments as they read.

Some people weren't content with just complaining to everyone; they had to leave comments on the comment section, having a great time.

Not long after, Izumi Yamano's convoy arrived.

In today's update, Naruto progresses from the official start of the battle between Sasuke and Naruto to the end of the Tailed Beast transformation.

There are many updates to One Piece. Ace met with the Straw Hat crew and then parted ways, and more and more members of Baroque Works are appearing.

In the latest storyline, Luffy and his crew have officially clashed with Baroque Works and unfortunately found themselves trapped in a seastone trap.

People who have just been released from prison are desperate for food, and most of the newly arrived comics were quickly bought up.

Akabane glanced at it and told his clone to take care of the follow-up work. Since the update was already done, the shadow clone didn't need to continue working for the time being.

As long as he himself...

After a busy day, it's not unreasonable to treat yourself to a nap, right?

Yamano Izumi's manga update was delayed by more than half a day because they sent a portion of the One Piece manga to the Land of Rivers ahead of time. So, although Konoha and the Land of Rivers actually completed the One Piece manga update at the same time.

At this time, in Chaochuan Town, the land of rivers.

A swordsman dressed in black arrived at the town following the path he remembered, but what he saw was not what he remembered.

"This is... Pirate Town?"

Ye Wu opened his mouth in surprise. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this was Chaochuan Town, which he had visited before.

"Are you a samurai who came because of your reputation?"

Beside him, a raggedly dressed wandering martial artist sitting at the town's entrance adjusted his headscarf and then looked up.

Ye Wu paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, I heard there are many samurai here, but isn't this Chaochuan Town? How did it become like this!"

"Chaochuan was the old name. Starting last month, it was renamed Luoge Town!"

The samurai said proudly, "If you go in along this road, you can also see the Execution Plaza. Apart from not being a small island at sea, it is almost no different from Loguetown. However, in the future, it will definitely become the starting point of the Grand Line as well."

"Loguetown, the Grand Line..."

Night Dance was extremely surprised.

Aren't those things from a comic book?

It's unbelievable that someone actually transformed the land of rivers into such a place!

He walked into town.

As the wandering samurai said, this place was almost exactly the same as Loguetown in the comics, but the town was much larger than before, and as he walked along the street, he soon saw a large river.

This river runs vertically through the entire Kingdom of Rivers, connecting the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Earth to the sea below.

A wharf was built near the riverbank in Chaochuan Town.

He walked around and was deeply shocked by the changes in the town, and at the same time understood why the village had given him the secret mission to investigate the land of rivers.

"Did Akabane do it? No, the village sent me here to investigate, it can't be that simple."

Ye Wu pondered silently, then headed towards the comic book store.

He hadn't had a chance to read comics for a long time.

however.

When he arrived at the comic book store, he didn't see the store open; only a small door on the side was partially closed.

"Hello, I heard that you used to sell One Piece manga here. Are you closed now?"

"All the comics have been bought up. If you want to read comics, you either have to go to that pub up ahead or buy them from someone else at a high price. There's nothing we can do about it."

The shop owner said.

Actually, this kind of sales is not harmful to the shop owners.

Even if those people don't buy, he'll still sell it at the same price, though it will take a bit more effort. After handing it over to those people, he only needs to notify them when the goods arrive; there's absolutely no need to keep anyone around to maintain it.

"OK, thanks."

Ye Wu withdrew, lost in thought.

The comics have all been bought up!

If the market is big enough, and the comics are all bought up, it will definitely be a highly profitable business.

In such a chaotic place as the land of rivers, who would dare to do this kind of business?

He gradually came to understand.

His purpose in coming here was to find out who was behind it all.

However, we must be careful. The fact that the unruly rogue ninjas dare not interfere in this deal suggests a powerful force behind it, and the leader's strength...

Night Dance quietly arrived at the tavern.

Upon entering the tavern, he saw a large bookshelf filled with comics.

Aside from Naruto, everything else that exists in the Land of Fire is here, and even things that don't exist in the Land of Fire, like the Muzan series and the Make Up series.

In addition, he saw many "decorations" on the walls.

Statues of characters, replicas of weapons from comics, and even some fruits that look like "Devil Fruits" on the counter.

The influence of manga culture on this place is far more profound than that on the Land of Fire or Konoha.

Ye Wu sat down and read some comics for a while, and then ordered food and drinks, which cost quite a bit of money. The price of this meal was almost more than the price of several comics.

It's all a routine...

He had a feeling that Akabane was manipulating things from behind the scenes, especially since the tavern's business model and various decorations all seemed to be Akabane's work.

At that moment, a figure walked in from outside the door—wearing a mask and looking very mysterious.

Yewu couldn't determine the opponent's strength, but he sensed that this person was very strong. Facing this person, he had a feeling of déjà vu, like when he was a child facing an elite Jonin like his father.

Of course, this is just his perception as a swordsman, but it already reveals a lot in a certain sense.

Is this guy the boss behind the tavern?

Not long after, the guy left.

Yewu hesitated for a few seconds about whether to follow or not, but in the end he didn't dare to follow. When he saw that person, the image of Gekko Hayate failing to kill Maki with one strike and being killed in return involuntarily flashed into his mind.

If we chase after them, the outcome might not be much better than that, after all, this is the chaotic Land of Rivers!

He waited until the other person left for a long time, until the aura disappeared, before he could catch his breath.

Night Dance looked around.

The others seemed oblivious to this, continuing to eat and drink, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

After resting for a while, his thoughts gradually settled into a more emotional state—

"Oh no, I might have been discovered to be a ninja!"

Chapter 261 Establishing Role Models and Promoting Positive Energy

"The power of the cursed seal can change the form, which is indeed a powerful ability... But why is the me inside so obsessed with the Sharingan?"

Orochimaru couldn't understand it.

The world of ninjutsu is vast and boundless. The more he explores, the more he feels his own insignificance. Although the Sharingan is good, he doesn't think it's necessary to pursue it at all costs.

It's just a bloodline limit.

"People always have pursuits. Once they get something, they will have new goals."

Tsunade said calmly.

"That sounds reasonable. So what are you pursuing right now?"

Orochimaru stuffed something into his mouth.

This is the food that Akabane grabbed when he came to "visit" Orochimaru. Of course, Orochimaru's food was also something he grabbed on the spur of the moment. Akabane knew that Tsunade was doing research here, so he came over specifically.

"Enhance medical capabilities."

Tsunade answered without hesitation.

"What about later?"

"Who knows what the future holds..."

She paused for a moment, then continued to mobilize her chakra to save the rat in her hands, which had been tortured beyond recognition by Orochimaru.

perhaps.

Let's avoid ending up like the characters in the comics, powerless to stop the passing of our loved ones.

She couldn't accept such a tragic ending!

Tsunade's mind was in turmoil, and she accidentally increased her chakra input. The rat's muscles suddenly tensed up, and it began to jump around wildly.
