I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Compared to Madara, Kakuzu is much weaker.

In reality, he now possesses at least Kage-level strength, and with five hearts, few can kill him, making him a formidable partner.

however.

For Kakuzu, "subordinates" were not what he desired.

If he submits to Madara, his foundation and income will be handed over to Madara, and all of this in the Land of Rivers will be for nothing.

Kakuzu is even more impatient than Akabane right now.

"Chief, the new comic has arrived. Shall we send it out as usual?"

"Okay, you can handle this one. Stop the matter with the Wind Kingdom for now; it's not safe there recently."

Both corners were very impatient.

Is money more important than life?

Why isn't Akabane here yet? If he doesn't check on things here soon, he's going to run off with the money.

Chapter 290 Akatsuki = Amegakure? What a huge pot!

"Kakuto has been captured by Madara, but... he doesn't seem very willing to cooperate with Madara. Hopefully, we can find a way."

Orochimaru said in a low voice.

Nora possesses the ability to summon snakes, which allows him to communicate remotely.

He was busy hunting experimental subjects of the evil god cult and had no time to deal with these matters until now that everyone has come together, giving him the opportunity to communicate with Akabane.

Kakuzu is unwilling to cooperate with Madara?

Akabane was surprised for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

It seems that Madara's conditions are not very good and do not align with Kakuzu's own interests, but could it be a trap set by Madara?

worth considering.

He didn't answer immediately, but instead made a "I know" gesture.

Then, Hinata Mayu said, "Most of those we cleared out today were relatively weak, but the test subjects we encountered tonight were noticeably stronger, and I suspect that Sunagakure in the west might also be about to make a move..."

“If Sunagakure takes action, Jashin Cult may temporarily retreat. At that time, most of them can temporarily retreat to the Land of Rivers to provide support, while the remaining group monitors the situation at the border.”

Orochimaru's voice was low.

Logically speaking, he was just a Chunin and had no say here, but on the one hand, he was a third-generation disciple, and on the other hand, he was the head of the research institute. So his status wasn't too low.

Therefore, after listening, Hinata Mayu thought for a moment and then said, "If you were given the responsibility of managing this place, what would you do?"

"After a day of fighting, we have a basic understanding of the methods of the Evil God Cult. The battle will not be as dangerous as it is today. With only half of our forces, I am confident that we can keep the Evil God Cult out of the Land of Fire."

Orochimaru's eyes were bright and piercing.

Normally, he wouldn't take on this job willingly, but the members of the Evil God Cult are all the best test subjects, with strong recovery abilities and strange constitutions.

Most importantly—these people have committed numerous evils, and even if they were locked up, they would deserve to die a hundred times over. There is no need to worry about certain aspects of their problems.

Therefore, he needs to take command.

Everyone fell silent, including Akabane.

Orochimaru is only thirteen years old now, and he might be fourteen in a few days. Is a child like that going to control a war?

It's too messy.

After a moment's thought, Kosuke said, "Lord Hyuga, I have some combat experience. Why don't I stay and assist Orochimaru, providing some experience and assistance?"

"If Senior Kosuke is willing, that would be wonderful."

Hinata Mayu was overjoyed.

Although some things happened back then, Kosuke's strength and experience are trustworthy, and his strength is definitely not a problem. As for his battlefield abilities...

Don't let his lowly status as a genin fool you; his actual abilities are far superior to mine. He only addresses me as "sir" out of politeness.

In terms of seniority and ability, this guy is definitely a senior figure.

However, it seems that Akabane had nothing to do with it from beginning to end.

Also.

Once everyone understood the methods of the evil god cult, dealing with them became relatively easy, and there was no need to ask Akabane for help anymore.

Having witnessed Akabane's strength, everyone had a considerable understanding of it, and dealing with these members of the Evil God Cult would be a complete waste of his talents.

but……

For the cult of evil gods, the news from here is hardly good.

In just one day, 80% of the cultists who entered the Land of Fire died, leaving only 20% to lie in wait for their chance.

however.

When faced with disdain, hiding oneself isn't so easy.

The next day, when the members of the evil god cult received the news, most of the followers had been captured and killed. This demonstrates the power of the White Eye in reconnaissance.

of course.

At this moment, Akabane has already returned to Konoha.

The front lines don't need him; wouldn't it be foolish for him to stay any longer?

Although Kosuke's mixed wild food is delicious, why bother going out to eat when you can just relax at home and eat a proper meal...?

The first thing I did upon returning to Konoha was to send over the five-episode extra chapter that I had drawn up on the front lines.

The team, including Yamano Izumi and Kou, were used to updating 20 to 30 chapters a day, so the sudden reduction to only 10 chapters in total was completely unexpected. These five chapters filled the gap perfectly.

Therefore, it was the next day.

All updates were delivered, and Kosuke became a sensation.

of course.

The "fire" here refers to the fact that among the younger generation, the new generation has never heard of Kosuke's name, let alone knows that Konoha has such a hidden master.

So when someone exposed him, he became famous.

With one eye blind and one leg lame, it's truly remarkable that he can maintain such fighting spirit in his old age.

"I even got a wood carving from him before, I never expected him to be such a master."

Uchiha Ryo was shocked.

When he met Kosuke, he only thought that the other party was a genin with good sword skills, and he never expected that the other party would be so powerful.

"That kind of wood carving is not something anyone can do; only those who have immersed themselves in the art of carving for more than ten years can achieve such skill."

Uchiha En glanced at his son.

This son...

If you're not going to say he's untalented, he's already awakened the second tomoe, and who knows, he might awaken the third tomoe at any time.

In terms of personality and ability, they always fall just short.

After pondering for a long time, he asked, "Child, if Senior Kosuke were to be promoted to Jonin, would you be willing to serve under him?"

Hear the string song and know its elegant meaning.

To ordinary people, this manga is just a simple manga, but they know very well that Kosuke's strength has already reached the level of a Jonin.

This extra chapter is very likely a signal that Kosuke, the perennial genin, will be promoted.

"what?"

Uchiha Ryo was stunned after hearing this, and then hesitated for a moment.

Kosuke is indeed strong.

Judging from the comics, this person has many flaws. Working under him could be risky if you accidentally...

"The Konoha-ryu swordsmanship is a ninja swordsmanship style created by the Second Hokage. The willow branch is the most suitable swordsmanship for us Uchiha. If you really don't want to, then forget it."

Uchiha En sighed softly.

Why did the Uchiha clan become friends with Kosuke?

The hope is that if Kosuke becomes a Jonin in the future, the Uchiha clan can allow their juniors to learn his strongest sword technique, "Yanagi," from him.

The Uchiha clan possessed inherited swordsmanship and genjutsu, but they did not have their own genjutsu—Kagami did master one move, but he died, and this move was not passed down.

"No, I...I do!"

Uchiha Ryo gritted his teeth and agreed.

Although it's dangerous, if I could learn this "willow" move, it would be all worth it!

At the same time, many families began to use their connections to plan for their own descendants, with the Moonlight Clan and the Shimura Clan being the most prominent examples.

However, according to the new four-person team rules, only one of the three genin can be from a clan, one must be chosen from a commoner, and the third must be chosen from a ninja who has mastered medical ninjutsu.

In other words, among all the families that are envious of Kosuke's first-generation disciple, only one person can join Kosuke's team.

Actually, it wasn't just them; even Kurama Gowa was somewhat tempted, but Akabane dissuaded him.

A bunch of sickly people, what are they doing in the ancient Jie squad?

but……

For the third generation, this side story was important, but he was more concerned about the main plot.

dawn.

In this volume, Asuma officially leaves the stage, but at the same time, Akatsuki's "purpose" is also revealed through Pain's words—to control the war and control the world.

Furthermore, this book also reveals the kind of soil in which "Xiao" can take root.

Small country.

Only small countries need this kind of power to break existing rules.

When everything is reshuffled, the small country will regain its voice, because everyone is equally weak except for Akatsuki.

Based on the plot, it can be concluded that the leader of Akatsuki must have come from a small village.

Little Ninja Village...

The third generation glanced at the map.

Amegakure Village, Takigakure Village.

These two villages are practically the only places capable of training powerful ninjas.

of course.

Actually, there's no need to speculate. Judging from the background of the "Akatsuki leader" in the manga, that's Amegakure.

Amegakure is isolated from the world, but people in other villages know more about what it's like inside.

At this moment, in Amegakure, Hanzo sat in his office with a pile of comics in his hands.

This is a Naruto manga that he just seized from his subordinates.

One volume, one volume.

Hanzo watched from beginning to end, his anger surging.

In his eyes, this was undoubtedly a comic that promoted Konoha and the great powers, while the only characters from Amegakure who appeared on screen were a few extras who were instantly killed by Gaara.

unacceptable!

Of course, what angered him the most was—why was the leader of Akatsuki from Amegakure?

The Akatsuki leader's words made sense. As the leader of Amegakure, Hanzo agreed with some points, but Amegakure's current strength was simply insufficient to contend with the other major powers, so they could only choose to lie low.

The War of the Land of Whirlpools originally had nothing to do with Amegakure, but Amegakure insisted on getting involved, and as a result, lost territory in the Land of Birds.

To be honest, Hanzo's invasion of Uzu no Nyū was purely for profit.

But now the problem is that Konoha has thrown a bucket of dirty water on them. Akatsuki's first stage is to make money, the second stage is to control "weapons", and the third stage is to control the world.

Participating in the War of the Land of Whirlpools is the first stage, while simultaneously collecting sealing techniques.
