I'm drawing manga in Naruto

If the leader of Amegakure weren't Hanzo, no one would have such doubts, but Hanzo...

He's known as a "demigod".

With the passing of the first and second Kage, Hanzo's strength is now considered the pinnacle of the ninja world. Apart from lacking the Rinnegan, he is fully capable of doing what the Akatsuki did in the manga.

Once the comic was released, who wouldn't have doubts?

Not to mention others, even Hanzo himself almost believed it, which is why he looked so gloomy.

"Chief, should we send a letter to Sunagakure to explain?"

"An explanation? Sunagakure won't listen to explanations now, and the more we explain, the more trouble we'll cause. We can only wait for Sunagakure's reaction and see what they plan to do."

Hanzo is having a headache.

The Sand Village is now like a mad dog, biting anyone it can get its hands on. And this mad dog knows very well that Shamon's disappearance has nothing to do with most of its opponents.

This is just an excuse to start a war and demand benefits.

Originally, no one would have thought that Amegakure would be involved, but after the manga was released, things went from unrelated to related.

Although comics are comics and reality is reality, Hanzo, who is known as a "demigod," was fully capable of taking the half-crippled Shamon out, and he had a considerable reason to do so.

What's most disgusting is that Hanzo still can't explain it.

After all, neither Sunagakure nor Amegakure has said that they are related to Amegakure. Why are you jumping out of it? Are you feeling guilty?

What a huge pot!

Has Chapter 291, Master Shinnosuke, been updated?

To be honest, even Akabane himself didn't expect this volume to have any impact.

He just copied it completely...

however.

That afternoon, the Third Hokage summoned him to discuss the possibility of Amegakure joining forces with Madara and Black Zetsu. Akabane then realized that Amegakure was being blamed to some extent.

The disappearance of Shamon is definitely not related to Amegakure, but it's hard to say what Sunagakure thinks.

Pick out the soft persimmons and pinch them.

Compared to Amegakure, Konoha is still easier to deal with. As for whether Amegakure did it or not, it doesn't matter—doesn't Sunagakure know that Konoha didn't do it?

They just want a reason.

The reason the Third Hokage sought out Akabane was simple—to intensify efforts and keep the Black Rain Village's operations going.

According to the original storyline, the subsequent Akatsuki storyline would involve sealing the Three-Tails and Yugito, the Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, followed by the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho and Kakashi teaming up to fight Kakuzu and Hidan.

However, since the third generation has requirements, we must create the conditions even if there are none.

Akabane returned to the manga shop and pondered for a long time before finally deciding to draw another side story—this one about Kakashi infiltrating Amegakure to find Hanzo the Salamander.

This part of the story takes place during the new Chunin Exams after Tsunade takes over, when Kakashi goes to Amegakure to investigate the situation inside the village.

The third generation demands greater efforts, and this is the only way to address this.

However, many people in the village were discussing Akatsuki's "purpose," and they even gathered in Akabane's newly renovated tea and snack hall to eat, drink, and chat about these matters.

Here, even ordinary people can talk and point fingers at ninja villages like Amegakure and Sunagakure, but unfortunately Amegakure can't hear these comments, otherwise it would be quite interesting.

Also.

Akabane learned from the Third Hokage that Sunagakure had officially increased its manpower in the Land of Rivers.

However, they were clearly unaware that Madara Uchiha was in Sunagakure, so... Konoha didn't say anything either.

Loguetown is located on the western bank of the River in the Land of Rivers, which is relatively close to the Land of Wind. If Sunagakure were to invade the Land of Rivers, they would definitely go in the direction of Loguetown.

Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. Whether Madara is still alive or not, let Sunagakure witness it for themselves.

While studying the plot, Akabane also pondered some plot issues related to One Piece.

Akabane considered cutting out the One Piece storyline set on Long Island, as it was genuinely boring and almost as bad as original anime content.

However, it really is the plot of a comic book.

Moreover, a very important character will appear in this part of the story – Aokiji, one of the three admirals and the owner of the Ice-Ice Fruit.

In his past life, Akabane really liked this character when he read the manga.

Aokiji is very strong and is a strong candidate to compete for the next Fleet Admiral. His definition of "justice" is not as extreme as Akainu's.

If he or Yixiao could become admiral, the navy might be very different.

Unfortunately, the next generation is Akainu.

Akabane sighed for a moment, thinking that since he didn't have to go to work today, he might as well finish drawing the Long Long Island storyline and let the story move on to the Water Seven arc as soon as possible.

With CP9's arrival, you can now exchange for the Navy's Six Styles.

The Six Powers of the Navy are quite powerful, and even in the Naruto world, they are a very practical ability. If it weren't for the need to prepare chakra, he could maintain four to five shadow clones working at the same time.

That way, there's absolutely no need to worry about updates.

Not like now.

Three shadow clones and one main body—while that's not a small number, Akabane still finds it somewhat strenuous and exhausting to be responsible for updating Naruto, Naruto spin-offs, and One Piece.

"Is Akabane there?"

A voice came from outside; judging from the sound, it must be Moonlight Night Dance.

"Go in and take a look, I don't know either."

Anma Yunlang sighed.

Since acquiring the Flying Thunder God Technique, it's become difficult for Akabane to even be certain whether his true form is still there, since he doesn't return this way through the main entrance...

"exist."

Akabane poked his head out and waved to him.

Yewu, carrying her things, entered the house and was slightly taken aback when she saw the "four" Akabane figures.

Then, he couldn't help but exclaim, "You're really amazing to be able to keep so many clones working at the same time."

The Shadow Clone Technique is now widespread, but after everyone has tried it, they all understand just how high the demands on chakra and mental will are for this technique.

Therefore……

Maintaining even one shadow clone to accelerate cultivation is such a burden, and Akabane maintains three or four shadow clones every day to participate in painting work, which shows how heavy the consumption and burden are.

Ye Wu looked at the other person, then at herself, and couldn't help but doubt her life—how could there be such a big difference between them, even though they both came from families with weak and sickly members?

"It's just that the mental burden is greater, but what we, the 'Kama clan,' have no shortage of is mental strength."

Akabane offered a humble response.

Ye Wu rolled her eyes, sat down without ceremony, and handed over the small package she was holding.

Akabane, too lazy to take it, said while drawing, "I didn't save you for anything. Why are we talking about this between friends?"

“My father insisted on giving it to you, and besides… it’s not anything valuable, and you happen to lack these things.”

Ye Wu spread out the package.

These are two land deeds.

"I am this..."

Akabane initially wanted to refuse, since his original intention was truly just to save Yewu, but after seeing the location of the two land deeds, he felt he was about to change his mind.

The land deeds are quite valuable, especially since one of these two types is almost the best shop in Konoha, and this one land deed alone is worth a lot of money.

The other one is a land title in a more remote location, in a mountain forest.

It can be said that both land deeds are of high value.

However, he might not want just the land deed, but he happens to need a shop and a forest recently—the trees in the forest are for making wood carvings, and the shop is for selling figurines.

Clan leaders are all quite capable. Even though Koki Koki is nearing retirement, this gift perfectly hit Akabane's sweet spot, and he was certain Akabane wouldn't refuse.

He was immediately conflicted.

"Alright, without you, even if I didn't die in the Land of Wind, I would be half-crippled. Besides... there's no need to be polite between friends. You just happen to need it, and we just happen to have it, so just accept it."

Night Dance is very clear.

Although his strength is much greater than before, he is still at most a Special Jonin.

Located in the heart of the Land of Wind, he could not possibly escape on his own—a mutually destructive outcome would be in the interest of both Madara and Black Zetsu.

"It seems Uncle Xinghuo has done some research on me."

Akabane smiled bitterly.

At this point, it would seem pretentious not to accept it.

However, Yewu suddenly rubbed his hands together in a lewd manner and said, "If you really feel embarrassed, just tell Kosuke-senpai to sculpt a three-sword style version of Zoro for me next."

"no problem."

Akabane immediately agreed. The new shop was originally selling figurines, so it was normal to give away some in the early stages to increase popularity. Besides, the two land deeds for Night Dance were quite expensive.

"Great."

In Yewu's eyes, the value of the first batch of figurines might exceed that of a land deed; he would definitely become a die-hard ninja otaku in the future.

Akabane thought for a moment, then asked, "Uncle Yuuka, are you interested in wood carving?"

"he?"

Ye Wu initially wanted to sneer, but then she thought of her father's increasingly weakened body due to his injury, and fell into deep thought.

In the past, I definitely wouldn't have been interested.

but now……

I remember seeing quite a few comic books in my father's room yesterday, so I guess there's a good chance they're real.

Thinking of this, Ye Wu paused for a second or two before replying, "I'll go back and ask, and if possible, I'll come and let you know right away."

"Ok."

Akabane finished another page of his manga in response to his words.

I'll collect more comics so I can take some time to paint the wooden carvings before the figurine shop opens. But this is the first batch of figurines, so I need to put in my best effort to complete it.

Later on, you can exit the "commoner's version"—using earth magic to shape the figure and then paint it.

Earth-shaped figurines are more difficult to preserve. Over time, they may show signs of cracking or breaking. Their quality is definitely not as good as puppets, and correspondingly, they are cheaper.

However, besides these, there is one more thing.

We need to send a shadow clone over to check on Jiraiya's side soon, especially that bird that ate the Human-Human Fruit. We don't know if it's dead or being kept as a pet by Jiraiya and the others.

We'll have to wait until the comic is updated and finished.

By evening, the update was basically finished, and Akabane decided to make use of the waste by sending a shadow clone along with some comics to Jiraiya at sea.

This time there's no need to hide it.

The shadow clone appeared directly next to Jiraiya, who was sitting outside a small room. There was a gap in front of him, through which he could see what was happening inside the room.

Inside the room was a bird that had taken on a human form, and in Jiraiya's hand was a drawing of a "bird girl". The human figure was already drawn, only the facial features, hands, and so on were missing.

"I never expected Jiraiya to be like this! Your tastes are really something else!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I..."

Jiraiya was about to retort when he suddenly realized—wasn't that Akabane's voice?

He turned his head abruptly and saw Akabane. When he saw the comic book in Akabane's hand, he forgot all about Akabane and quickly snatched the comic book away.

These are all treasures!

After flipping through it, he couldn't help but complain, "Has Master Shinnosuke not updated yet?"

"Not yet."

"Wow, so many comics! I'm so happy! Akabane, you're a lifesaver!"

Jiraiya is going crazy.
