I'm drawing manga in Naruto

The children were stunned. Their father had never been so violent before, but lately his personality seemed to be becoming more and more extreme, giving them a very unfamiliar feeling.

He looked up at Mitokado Yanagi, stunned and speechless.

Mitomon Yan turned the pages one by one.

At first, he was a little confused and angry, but after watching the plot, Mitomon Homura realized that the person named Sai was from the "Root" organization.

The Root appeared in the manga. Could it be that this kid thinks Konoha should indeed have a Root?

He couldn't help but feel a little pleased.

At this moment, Mitokado Homura's son timidly asked, "Father, are you really going to rebuild the root?"

"Konoha needs the existence of Root. Danzo advocated for the founding of Root, and I secretly supported him. However, Danzo abandoned the project halfway through. Therefore, this great responsibility can only be taken on by me!"

Mitokado Homura did not think he was wrong; in fact, he believed that others were being too lenient, and that his path was the right one.

"No, I've heard that Root is very cruel. Look at this older brother named Sai, he even has to learn to laugh, which shows..."

"How dare you! This is a matter of great importance to the village. Do you, a child, have any right to speak on such matters?"

Mitomon En shouted angrily.

Another instance of opposition...

Even a child dares to oppose my policies, am I really that useless?

No, I don't believe it!

Mitokado Yan took a deep breath and then strode towards the door.

He wanted to visit the various families again, especially the Kurama family.

Akabane was surprised that after this volume was published, Mitokado Homura was not angry at all, but instead went to Kurama Gowa's house with great joy to discuss matters.

He seemed to have misunderstood, instead believing that mentioning "roots" was a sign of support...

For a drowning person, every straw is worth pulling them up.

Akabane was filled with mixed emotions.

Kurama Gowa wasn't particularly clever, but he possessed the basic abilities of a clan leader. He decisively followed the example of other clans and didn't allow Mitomon Homura into the clan's territory at all.

On this day, the third generation's telescope technique never stopped.

He kept a close watch on Mitokado Homura's every move, hoping that his comrade-in-arms from the battlefield would come to his senses. That's why he didn't say anything about these plot points in Akabane's manga.

However, Mitokado En was completely unaware that he had done something wrong.

ANBU.

Danzo finished flipping through the manga in his hand, and his face darkened.

Although the leader of the root became Mitokado, his image doesn't seem to be much better.

He served as the head of the Anbu for so many years, but he wasn't the fourth or fifth generation leader. Not only was he blind in one eye, but in the manga, he was also crippled in one hand.

I've risked my life for Konoha, I've gone blind and lost my hands, is it too much to ask for the Hokage position?

Moreover, Danzo immediately saw that Mitokado Homura was incapable of taking over Root; his abilities, prestige, and status were insufficient to convince the many families.

Moreover, what is the root prefix?

Anbu [root].

No matter how you look at it, this is still Danzo's influence; Mitokado Homura is basically his underling.

"Sir, is there a problem with today's comic?"

The oil-loving woman, Yi Gen, was puzzled.

He hasn't seen it yet, but he heard that today's content is very explosive, and it criticizes the current council of elders.

"No, it's nothing."

Danzo put the manga away and then inquired about Mitokado Homura's whereabouts.

In fact, he understood why Mitokado Homura was so persistent. Of the second generation's disciples, apart from Kagami who died and Akimichi Torifu who inherited the family business, the rest were the third generation, Danzo, and Utatane Koharu.

Koharu Utatane has the best relationship with Homura Mitokado. She has always served as an advisor and elder, so she doesn't need to do much, just offer her opinions on some decisions.

However, since the establishment of the medical team, Koharu Utatane has become a high-ranking member of the medical department, and she studies medical techniques and ninjutsu with Tsunade every day.

Compared to others, Mitokado En appears to be idle and unproductive, and if this continues, he will inevitably be eliminated by the management.

But that's no excuse for making a foolish move.

Danzo shook his head slightly, then decided not to concern himself with the matter any further.

Everything that needs to be said has been analyzed in the meeting, so there's no point in trying to dissuade him anymore. It's better to let him hit a wall.

Afterwards, Aburame Otone reported on the work regarding the Land of Whirlpools—

Although Danzo knew that Madara was likely in the Land of Water, he didn't dare send anyone there. To avoid alerting Madara, he recalled all the people from the Land of Water and deployed them along the coast.

Chapter 276 The Rinnegan Awakens, Madara Returns Home

Observation Haki [Mind Web], 5,000 points.

Rumble-Rumble Fruit, 15,500 points.

Seeing the value of the points, Akabane breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It's a bit pricey, but it didn't exceed my expectations. After all, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is indeed one of the top Devil Fruits in the One Piece world, so it's worth the price.

Although the Rinnegan only costs 12,500, that's because of the Mangekyou Sharingan discount; otherwise, its price would be quite high.

He originally wanted to exchange for them all at once, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit would cause some unexpected problems, so he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to come to the preparatory department.

There's a high mountain here, so we don't have to worry about making too much noise and damaging the surrounding buildings.

"Let's switch to Observation Haki first."

Observation Haki not only has sensory functions, but the version with the Mind Network can also predict the enemy's next move. In addition, when combined with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's abilities, its power and range are greatly enhanced.

Similarly, possessing the perception of Observation Haki, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit allows for long-range attacks.

As long as it can be sensed, thunderclouds can be condensed to launch an attack.

Redemption successful.

After deducting points, he dispersed his senses while remaining calm, slowly entering a state of Observation Haki.

With his dual senses fully activated, he could even sense the situation at the gates of Konoha. And probably because of the system, he could even clearly feel the changes in the aura, location, and number of those ninjas.

"Exchange for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."

After deducting points, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit appeared in his palm.

It looks quite different from the Ox-Ox Fruit and the Whisper-Whisper Fruit; its patterns are more antique and ornate.

Take a bite...

The taste was indescribably strange; it was so bad that words couldn't describe it. It has to be said that Luffy was able to eat it without batting an eye, and in the end, he only said, "It doesn't taste very good." He's truly a god!

Akabane took a bite, sensed for a moment, and after confirming that he had obtained the fruit's power, he threw the rest of the fruit onto the mountaintop.

First, control lightning...

He gripped his wrist and then pressed down, lightning gathering in his palm, looking exactly like a lightning bolt.

With the effects of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, as long as he has the ability to control it, it can disguise itself as any lightning-style ninjutsu.

These are just child's play.

Akabane took a deep breath and began to refine the electric current into radio waves, enhancing the ability and range of his Observation Haki.

I focused all my senses on sensing again.

Nearly half of Konoha was within their perception range, while on the other side they arrived at a relatively prosperous town in the Land of Fire.

This time, he could even sense people's emotions.

However, at that moment, a benevolent thought came from the Senju clan.

Mito Uzumaki?

Akabane realized he had probably been recognized, and instantly and awkwardly withdrew his abilities.

Your grandpa is still your grandpa, but arrogance is no good~

I originally wanted to try divine punishment, but that would cause too much of a commotion, so I'll try it on a rainy day instead.

Akabane glanced at the sky, then packed his things to go home.

But then, a snake crawled up from underneath.

Orochimaru's snake clones.

"You snake, you really are everywhere..."

Akabane felt somewhat helpless.

I was just about to leave when I got caught.

"I sensed someone on the mountain, so I came to check... Is Akabane-kun testing a new ninjutsu here?"

Orochimaru stared at Akabane, somewhat puzzled.

What kind of skill requires you to come to the mountaintop to practice?

"I was researching the nature transformation of lightning and testing a new ninjutsu, but I failed."

Akabane said.

"Oh? May I ask what kind of ninjutsu it is?"

Orochimaru was very curious.

"Thunder is born from the heavens. I'm wondering if I can use ninjutsu to naturally generate lightning to attack enemies..."

Akabane stole Sasuke's "Kirin" principle.

If we explain it now, we can use it openly and legitimately later on, and then we won't need to worry about it anymore.

If you are strong enough, what do you need to worry about?

Orochimaru remained silent for a moment after hearing this, seemingly pondering the feasibility of such a technique. However, after a few seconds, he reacted and said, "By the way, I don't need to go to the village to find you. Are you free now?"

Akabane glanced outside.

The mountain is a thousand meters above the ground. I was so focused on the experiment that I didn't really notice it before, but now that I look down, I feel like it's about to collapse and I'm dizzy.

"Go down and talk."

Using the Flying Thunder God technique, Akabane went into the underground research institute.

Dan was in the research institute with Orochimaru. Dan was about fourteen or fifteen years old at the time, and his appearance was not much different from that of later generations, except that he lacked a bit of maturity.

"You must be Akabane-senpai? It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Kato Dan."

Upon seeing Akabane, Dan immediately gave a gentle salute.

"Forget about calling me senior, you're a year older than me."

Akabane felt somewhat ashamed.

Although he was a special Jonin, one level higher than Dan, a Chunin, he was still a little embarrassed to be so serious.

"No need for so many formalities."

Orochimaru smiled faintly, then beckoned Akabane to come closer.

Akabane moved closer.

There was a puppet in front of them, but it was different from the puppets in Sunagakure. This puppet was made entirely of steel and looked very burly and huge. It was more like a mecha than a puppet.

Mecha, spirit transformation techniques, could it be...?

He looked up at Dan, who smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "At first, I thought of making a puppet, but later, with Orochimaru's guidance, I created an armored puppet that works in conjunction with the Spirit Transformation Technique."

"After using the Spirit Transformation technique, my body becomes immobile, making me vulnerable to attacks. So I thought about creating a puppet like Scorpion to protect my body, but the problem of how to control it remains unsolved..."

Orochimaru was in a real bind.

The puppet is a good puppet, even incorporating some of his ideas and creations, and is quite powerful. However, the steel puppet is very heavy and cannot be controlled by chakra threads.
