I'm drawing manga in Naruto

But this is just a performance, why does he, a supporting actor, have to travel so far!

"Can your Flying Thunder God technique make you fly directly?"

Uchiha En tilted his head.

The Flying Thunder God Technique requires a mark. Although Akabane went to the Land of Whirlpools, that was a long time ago.

"Not now, but don't you have my kunai on you?"

Akabane chuckled.

Once Uchiha En reaches the border, he can fly directly there.

Although it consumes a lot of chakra, the Yin Seal stores a lot of chakra, so there is no need to worry about not having enough chakra.

"No."

Uchiha En remained silent for a moment before decisively refusing this impolite request.

Let them run, and this guy just flies right over?

That's a beautiful thought, especially seeing his three clansmen panting heavily while he showed no signs of fatigue, clearly indicating that he was far superior to his three companions in physical combat.

No.

They're even stronger than me!

Uchiha En saw through everything and wanted to expose him directly, but considering the guy's petty nature, he forcibly held back in the end.

Later in the journey, Akabane often fell behind, but every now and then he would use Flying Thunder God Technique to get to their side.

At first, Uchiha Homura wasn't feeling well, but for the sake of a better life...

I will endure!

"Speaking of which, is that the Land of Whirlpools?"

Once again flying to Uchiha En's side, Akabane released his sensory abilities and sensed a strange feeling.

A very subtle aura of chakra.

Akabane frowned slightly.

This feeling……

"Yes, the Land of Whirlpools is now a ruin and the territory of the Hidden Mist Ninja."

Uchiha En sighed heavily.

The saying goes, "When the rabbit dies, the fox grieves." The fate of the Uzumaki clan today may be the fate of the Uchiha clan tomorrow.

Without giving him much time to grieve, Akabane immediately summoned the little Baku.

Enhanced by secret techniques.

His perception became clearer.

That's right~

This feeling strongly suggests it's Black Zetsu!

"Is your mission urgent? If not, could I go to the Land of Whirlpools to take a look first?"

"Uh, that's no problem."

"it is good."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Akabane vanished from his spot.

At the same time, he opened the system panel and exchanged the nearly 10,000 points he had accumulated over this period for 10 points of mental energy.

With a 10-point increase, the feeling became much clearer, and it even became possible to pinpoint the source of this peculiar sensation.

With no one around, Akabane activated his Kaleidoscope Sharingan, creating an eye from the illusion, and then materialized it in the distance.

On a tree far away in the darkness, a "fruit" with eyes grew.

The next second, Akabane "saw" him.

Dressed as a Hidden Mist ninja, but with a cloak on his head, he seemed unwilling to reveal his true face. Because his eyes were between reality and illusion, even Black Zetsu could not immediately detect him.

Moreover, at this moment, Black Zetsu appears to be leading two children.

At the same time, Akabane immediately canceled the "eye" the moment he saw him.

Hey, they've followed us!

Akabane closed his Sharingan, and the next second he saw Uchiha En following from behind.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing. I think I sensed some remaining members of the Uzumaki clan, but there's a very dangerous Kirigakure Jonin over there."

Akabane said solemnly—of course, he himself did not know what level the Hidden Mist ninja was; he had only "seen" him for less than a second through his illusory third eye.

"Let's go take a look."

Uchiha En thought for less than a second before deciding to go and take a look over there.

His mission on this trip was secondary; his main purpose was to put on a show for three of the more talented but somewhat flawed members of his clan.

Who the opponent is doesn't matter.

"it is good."

Akabane didn't know what Black Zetsu was doing here, but he was very happy to see him cause trouble, especially since this guy was sneaking around trying to fool the Uzumaki clan, which made him unconsciously think of Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan.

Did Madara awaken the Rinnegan ahead of schedule?

I don't quite understand.

The four moved quickly and soon approached the location of Black Zetsu and the two Uzumaki clan children.

Black Zetsu looked this way.

This aura... belongs to the violent brat of the Kurama clan.

"Sir, what has happened?"

"nothing."

Black Zetsu grabbed one of them.

These two were the boys he had selected who had decent aptitude, but to be honest, the one on the left was more talented. If they really caught up, he would have no choice but to take the boy on the left and run away.

You can't beat him.

Black Zetsu is very shrewd; he's skilled at hiding and escaping, but in direct combat...

Even if you manage to occupy a puppet, you're still likely no match for it.

“The rogue ninja of Kirigakure, put down the Uzumaki clan.”

Uchiha En arrived.

Both children have red hair, clearly indicating they are descendants of the Uzumaki clan.

After Uchiha En, three more Uchiha arrived one after another, but Akabane was nowhere to be seen, hiding not far away and not getting close.

Uchiha...

Black Zetsu glanced at it, then formed hand seals, and instantly a thick fog spread out.

But the next second, he was pulled into an illusion.

However, Black Zetsu remained calm. He glanced around and found the area completely empty, with no one or anything to be found.

Judging from the composition of the illusion, this technique is an illusion of the Kurama clan, and the caster never intended to harm him with the illusion, but merely to delay him for a second or two.

He quickly emptied his mind, putting himself into a "coma" state—this was not difficult for Black Zetsu, who was a conscious being.

In less than a second, Black Zetsu broke free from the illusion.

run!

There's no need to hesitate; he's not stupid to take on five opponents at once.

Returning to his original form, he regained his ability to be imperceptible and undetectable, and incidentally, the child he enveloped also had his aura concealed.

Akabane wanted to give chase, but Black Zetsu's aura was hard to detect. In addition, Black Zetsu was extremely fast and had a child in his arms. Before he could catch up, he could no longer pinpoint Black Zetsu's location.

They got away with it.

He was somewhat unwilling, but he could only sigh softly and accept the fact.

Black Zetsu is indeed too troublesome.

As for the remaining rogue ninja from Kirigakure, they were directly defeated by Uchiha En, without even having a chance to use their Mangekyou Sharingan. After all, this Jonin was really weak, and it was a complete rout in a four-on-one fight.

To expect this to inspire a "heart of protection" is just ridiculous.

The Kirigakure Jonin was very frustrated. He woke up to find himself here inexplicably, where he was ganged up on and beaten by four Uchiha.

Blackie was quite depressed after the trip.

Although he abducted a child, he lost his host body and it's not convenient for him to appear near the child for the time being. He needs to find another one.

Also.

In his panic and amidst the fog, it seemed he had brought the wrong person, bringing along someone less capable than himself.

Before leaving, Black Zetsu left a message for the child, telling him to stay there for the time being.

After turning to another place, he didn't plan to continue working for the time being, but instead decided to go back to Ban's side to keep an eye on things, feeling a little uneasy.

However, upon arriving there and taking a look...

"Where's Ban?"

gone!

He had only been gone for half a day when Madara disappeared. He went down the mountain to visit the woodcutter who often let Madara control his baton so he could buy comics.

A pile of money inexplicably appeared in front of the woodcutter's house, and he looked around at the money, bewildered.

"Ban isn't planning on coming back here, damn it... It's all that hateful brat's fault!"

"If we have the chance, we must kill him, otherwise the consequences will be dire."

Dark hatred lingers in the air.

Whether Akabane stumbled upon it by accident or did it intentionally, he has already posed a threat to my grand plan!

Even if killing Kurama Akabane means no more manga to read, compared to saving his mother, manga is nothing, and there's no need to hesitate.

He began searching for Ban's whereabouts.

It took most of the day to find some traces of Madara in the direction leading to the Land of Water.

Black Zetsu couldn't understand why, even though the Land of Water was isolated from the world and wouldn't be found by the people of Konoha, it also had nothing particularly attractive about it.

Madara, with his body still in the process of merging, insisted on going to the Land of Water. What was he trying to achieve?

Has this guy lost his mind?!

Black Zetsu was exhausted, feeling like a father who had to leave for only half a day for his child to disappear.

Madara was the most important part of his plan. He couldn't stop Madara from going to the Land of Water, so he could only continue to follow Madara's route to find him.

Akabane was completely unaware of the situation here.

They were traveling by boat to the Land of Water as planned. The two places were quite far apart, and there weren't many ships traveling between them before. However, recently, due to the "Grand Line," many wandering ninjas and samurai have been heading to the Land of Water.

As a result, there were many more boats on the coast.

Along the way, Akabane heard a lot about "Devil Fruits," because many of the people on the same ship heading to the Land of Water were there because of these "Devil Fruits."

How could a fake Devil Fruit have so many people obsessed with it, causing them to flock to the Land of Water from all over the world?

It's ridiculous.

This is still a counterfeit; if it were genuine, wouldn't everyone go crazy?

Actually, there are quite a few Devil Fruits that can be exchanged on Akabane's list, from Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit to the Sand-Sand Fruit that appeared in the latest storyline.

however.

Not knowing whether he could only consume one, Akabane was hesitant to exchange for and consume it.
