I'm drawing manga in Naruto

"Alright, stop bothering Akabane. The Great Toad Sage wants to see him."

The immortal Fukasaku leaped onto the back of the toad.

His words were still heeded; the toads quickly dispersed, making way for Akabane.

The Great Toad Sage's abode is a huge temple located deep within Mount Myoboku.

Mount Myoboku is very large.

Akabane walked for quite a while before finally arriving at the Great Toad Sage's residence.

He felt a little uneasy before even entering the room.

The extent of this giant toad's strength is currently unknown, but it is certainly one of the oldest creatures in the world; in terms of age, even Black Zetsu is not as old as it.

The saying "old and wise" perfectly describes this kind of toad.

Akabane took a deep breath, then pushed open the door and entered. He saw a toad sitting on a throne that was being worshipped, with the character "仙" (immortal) engraved on the bottom of the throne.

Who is this visitor?

"Is it fun to play this trick every time? Among the humans who can come to Mount Myōboku, besides Jiraiya, the only other one is Kurama Akabane, whom you are looking for."

Fukasaku couldn't help but complain.

The Great Toad Sage, who had been lying there, struggled to sit up a little, opened his eyes, glanced at Akabane, and then pondered for a moment before saying, "You are not quite the same as what I saw."

"People always change; growing up and maturing is precisely the process of change."

Akabane responded calmly.

The Great Toad Sage remained silent for a long time, giving Akabane the feeling that he was gathering strength for a powerful attack.

After several seconds, it slowly said, "How much do you know about the Rinnegan?"

"Um, well... I don't know much about it. I mainly learned about it from the Uchiha clan. The current clan leader happened to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, so I know a little bit about it."

Akabane explained.

The Great Toad Sage nodded slightly and said, "The stone tablet left by Yu Yi does indeed record some things, but it's been too long, so it might not be entirely complete. Those eyes have the power to change the world; they are both taboo and hope."

"Oh?"

Akabane raised an eyebrow, surprised that the Great Toad Sage wanted to talk to him about these things.

"In my dream, I saw Madara still alive. He had awakened the Rinnegan and was attempting to gather the nine tailed beasts to overthrow the world, and you..."

The Great Toad Sage paused here.

Akabane cooperated by showing curiosity and nodding repeatedly, anticipating the next prophecy.

however.

It looked puzzled, and after a few seconds said, "I didn't see you in my dream."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Akabane didn't quite understand. He didn't see him. Could it be that the Great Toad Sage saw Madara, who was resurrected by Edo Tensei and Rinne Rebirth near the end of the manga?

"Literally, you have never appeared in my dreams, but the changes caused by your presence have indeed affected my dreams, such as comics and Jiraiya."

"The giant toad immortal said suspiciously."

His dream was a kind of prophecy about the future. Generally speaking, what is predicted is likely to happen, and in the past, these prophecies have been very accurate.

But ever since Akabane appeared, he has found that his dreams are no longer accurate.

"The Dream Eater clan is very mysterious. Those Dream Eaters who truly master the abilities of the Dream Eater rarely sign a spiritual contract with humans, so you are a different being."

Akabane wasn't surprised by this.

After spending more time with the Baku, he understood why the real Baku looked down on Danzo.

Their secret techniques can link to the mental power of the contractor, which is practically mental pollution to ninjas like Danzo who have weak mental power.

Going on a business trip brings no benefits; in fact, it significantly reduces the purity of one's mental energy. What's the point?

The higher one's wisdom, the more requirements there are, and Mount Myōboku applies the same principle to its contractors.

"You summoned me to Mount Myōboku, do you want me to save the world?"

Akabane asked.

The Great Toad Sage sat up, stared at him for a few seconds, and then said, "Perhaps it's you, or perhaps it's the child of prophecy that Jiraiya was destined to meet. Who knows? The future is unpredictable. But in any case, you will face Madara, who possesses the Rinnegan. What I'm about to tell you is the secret of the Rinnegan..."

Chapter 274 Rebuilding the Roots? Let's Go, Mitokado Yanagi

The manga explains what the Rinnegan is very clearly.

The Great Toad Sage mostly talked about those things, but he didn't mention Pain, because the true ultimate power of the Rinnegan is like that of the Sage of Six Paths. Pain was a puppet created by Nagato because he couldn't move.

However, it does mention some categories.

Of course, none of these are important.

The most important thing is that the Great Toad Sage has solved the problem that Akabane has been struggling with for a long time—how should Konoha explain that he knows about the Rinnegan?

I used to worry a lot, but now I don't.

The new generation of "Pot King" has been taken over by the Toad Immortal!

However, this was quite a close call. He almost thought his disguise had been exposed. Fortunately, the Great Toad Immortal couldn't see him in his dream, otherwise he would definitely have been exposed.

On another note, the Great Toad Sage dreamt that Madara was still alive. Was that the ending in the manga?

However, it also mentioned that the impact it had caused had indeed changed the dream.

Akabane was surprised because of this.

Now that I'm back in Konoha, I can calm down and think things through. Perhaps the Great Toad Sage's dream has become chaotic. Part of it is the future of the original timeline, while some fragmented pieces are from the timeline after Akabane appeared.

In short, even the Great Toad Sage was probably bewildered, especially after dreaming that Madara was still alive and had awakened the Rinnegan. He was extremely panicked, fearing that Madara would release Kaguya.

That old bastard is no good.

In ancient times, it recruited the Sage of Six Paths to fight its mother with bayonets, and later it recruited Naruto to lead the charge against Madara and Kaguya. In any case, it always got a share of the credit for winning.

This time, regardless of whether Akabane is capable or not, it said something that would give it credit if Akabane beats Madara.

If we lose, isn't there still the Child of Prophecy?

The only gain from the trip to Mount Myoboku was a bunch of information whose source I didn't need to worry about.

Akabane returned to the comic shop and glanced around. The young men in the shop had finished the updates and all the volumes were ready to be sent to Yamano Izumi.

With today's update, the "Saving Gaara" arc has come to a complete end.

At the end of the story, Black Zetsu and another important character, "Tobi," make a dazzling reappearance, a scene that will likely make Black Zetsu very uncomfortable...

Come to think of it, Black Zetsu probably really wants to kill himself right now.

Akabane thought to himself.

A few seconds later, he used the Thunder God Technique to fly to the Hokage Building and report the matter to the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage was so worried about Madara and Black Zetsu that he lost some of his hair. He told him that Madara was still alive, hoping to relieve his hair loss problem.

But it's obvious.

After learning the certainty that Madara was still alive, the Third Hokage became even more agitated, and it seemed as if a few more hairs fell from his forehead at that moment.

That's horrible!

Then Danzo arrived.

Of course, Akabane had already left by then, and the Third Hokage was narrating the words of the Toad Sage.

After their conversation, Danzo also became melancholy.

Madara not only survived, but he even awakened the Rinnegan. He guessed the beginning, but he couldn't guess the ending...

The land of water.

After much effort and hardship, Black Zetsu finally got his hands on the update and sat quietly in a corner of the cave to watch it.

On the other side, Madara, having finished his training for the day, was also reading a comic book.

His aura became increasingly natural, and the fusion of Hashirama's cells with his body began to accelerate. Through the condensation of the Six Paths Chakra, his eyes seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

However, these changes are very subtle and have not yet reached the level of the Rinnegan.

Turning the pages one by one...

After laughing for a while, Madara finished reading the five chapters of the two volumes and then fell into deep thought.

What is that thing?

The giant golem gains an extra eye for every tailed beast it collects; if it were combined with the Rinnegan…

He thought for a few seconds, then asked, "Do you know what this golem is?"

"I don't know. I only had the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan back then, not even the Rinnegan. But I'm sure this is one of the abilities of the Rinnegan."

Black Zetsu's answer was flawless.

He has completely assumed the identity of "Indra's soul." As Indra, how could he possibly know the abilities of the Rinnegan?

Ban frowned slightly.

Although he didn't know what Black Zetsu was thinking, he could "sense" that Black Zetsu was lying.

This guy definitely knows something, he's just been hiding the truth from him.

Madara sneered inwardly, not exposing Black Zetsu's lie. He simply flipped the comic back to its original position, glanced at it a few times, and then asked, "Is that you, Zetsu in there?"

"Hmm, that kid knows what I look like and some of my abilities."

Black Zetsu nodded.

Ban nodded slightly.

Understood.

No wonder he moved away; this old guy could still track him. It turns out he has an extremely strong sense of perception.

We need to be wary of this ability in the future.

He studied both books again from beginning to end, practically treating them as instruction manuals for "Black Zetsu".

Black Zetsu sat in the corner, calmly reading the comics, but inwardly he was cursing wildly, adding another layer of hatred to his hatred for Akabane.

After watching it again, he found it strange and couldn't help but ask, "You don't even know about the Rinnegan's abilities, how does this kid know?"

"I don't know either, maybe... it's related to a toad on the edge of the Six Paths."

Even Black Zetsu doesn't understand this.

Logically speaking, the Rinnegan is a secret. After the Sage of Six Paths sealed Kaguya, he didn't use it much. Therefore, apart from some records left on the Uchiha stone tablet, it's impossible for any other records about the Rinnegan's specific abilities to remain in the world.

Therefore, that kid must know the participants who sealed Kaguya back then. Besides the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, there was only that hateful toad.

"The toad of the Six Paths?"

“That’s right. The Six Paths had a very good relationship with the toad. The fact that I couldn’t inherit the Ninja Clan back then was definitely related to that toad. If it hadn’t died, there would definitely have been a legacy left behind.”

Black Zetsu's tone was indifferent, yet tinged with resentment.

"So that's how it is. To be deprived of one's inheritance rights by a beast is truly shameful."

Madara stood up, returned the comic book he had finished reading to Black Zetsu, and casually made a sarcastic remark.

Black Zetsu appeared quite angry.

However, the tone of his voice was feigned, and as for his expression...

Its entire body was black, and no change in expression could be seen, but Ban intuitively judged that this guy was lying.

Black Zetsu knew that Madara wouldn't trust him anytime soon, so he didn't care whether Madara believed him or not. He himself believed him, since these were things that had truly happened to Indra.

The two old foxes deceived each other and fought each other, enjoying it immensely.

After chatting for a while, Madara received another update, which featured the battle between Chiyo, Sakura, and Sasori.

He flipped through it, then gave a disdainful sneer.

puppet?
