I'm drawing manga in Naruto

For almost a week, the comics he had been reading were worn out. Fighting... On the vast ocean, it's normal to not see anyone for days while sailing. All he could do was keep an eye on this bird.

She is, after all, a humanoid female, and setting aside her origins, she appears petite and adorable in her human form, possessing a unique kind of beauty.

The shadow clone glanced at it, nodded approvingly, and said, "Putting everything else aside, your drawing skills have improved greatly. Haven't you already achieved your goal?"

"..."

Listen, is this human talk?

Even if you were locked at sea for more than a week without seeing anyone and could only focus on doing one thing, you could still make rapid progress.

To put it bluntly, what's the difference between him and someone in a labor camp now?

Jiraiya thought to himself, then took the comics aside and started reading them by himself. With the comics, he completely forgot about the "bird girl".

Chapter 292 Kakuzu is but a nobody, not even half as good as Hashirama.

The shadow clone crouched down and peered through the gap.

The petrel wasn't killed; instead, it was kept indoors.

From the outside, it appears to be a female bird, who is keeping a watchful eye on the crack in the door, surrounded by a fence sealed with a sealing spell.

but……

The shadow clone crouched down, peering through the gap.

It was suddenly filled with immense fear.

His previously restless body suddenly became immobile.

Find the captain and open the cabin.

At this moment, the petrel became even more terrified.

The illusion altered its memory, but its animal instincts retained those memories, and perhaps even it didn't know why it was so afraid.

Akabane crouched down, staring at the tiny creature.

From a ninja's perspective, it's not very strong. If the accuracy is high enough, even a genin could kill it.

but……

Possessing intelligence, it is even more useful than the ninja hawks of Sunagakure, making it an absolute master at transmitting information.

"Don't be afraid. The changes in you are because you ate the Human-Human Fruit, which gave you a human form and a high level of intelligence, so you can definitely understand what I'm saying, right?"

Akabane stared at it.

Haiyan sensed the murderous intent.

She said fearfully, "I...I can understand, but I'm not very good at speaking."

“Very good, we can communicate. We are Konoha ninjas, and I know that Kaien yearns for freedom and doesn't want to be restrained, but…”

"No, I want to live."

Before Akabane could finish speaking, she interrupted.

Her voice was pleasant, but also very flustered. In just a few days, she learned many human words through eavesdropping, guessing, and other means.

Freedom is one of them.

Everyone on the ship was surprised, including Jiraiya, who unconsciously put down his comic book.

This petrel wouldn't cooperate even when it was locked up, but then Akabane arrived...

Surrender depends on the person you're dealing with.

"In that case, you're now considered a member of Konoha, and you'll have to help us out, is that alright?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Haiyan nodded frantically, afraid that she would be sliced ​​up if she was late.

Akabane fell silent.

This answer surprised him. Don't petrels all cherish freedom and resist fate with unyielding spirit?

such as--

Let the storm come harder!

really.

Art always incorporates the artist's personal ideas, which cannot be imposed on the person being depicted.

The communication with Haiyan has come to a temporary end.

"Okay, done."

The shadow clone quickly dispelled the seal on the fence, releasing the bird.

After she appeared, she didn't transform into human form, but remained in the shape of a sea swallow, only using her ability to make herself a little bigger. Akabane understood, because she wasn't used to this power.

Many people hope that Akabane can take it away.

As ninjas, everyone understands how important a wise ninja bird is; with a little training, it can become the best messenger.

But this is just a shadow clone; it's not actually possible.

After chatting for a while, the shadow clone ran out of chakra and disappeared automatically.

This side of Konoha.

Akabane received feedback from the shadow clone and roughly understood the follow-up situation of the Human-Human Fruit.

Jiraiya didn't kill him, but it's not a big problem.

Birds have their advantages.

In any case, this fruit isn't very useful for ninjas. And being weak has its advantages. For example, even if Haiyan ate the fruit, he wouldn't dare to resist and would eventually have to cooperate obediently.

Because it understands that only through cooperation can it survive.

Early the next day.

Izumi Kouno sent his manga to Konoha. This batch of manga already included works by other authors, such as Shinku Yuhi and Mito Uzumaki.

However, Akabane's own manga still sells the best.

Naruto is about to reach the point where Kakashi leads Team 10 in their revenge against the immortal duo, while One Piece has passed through the boring Long Island arc and introduced the key character "Aokiji".

Although many ninjas went out on missions, the newly renovated tea house in front of the door was still full of customers after the manga was updated.

However, there are exceptions...

For example, Moonlight Fire.

Ever since Akabane saved Yoru, he has also joined the ranks of manga readers, and since he has retired, he has plenty of time to read manga.

So early in the morning, he sat in front of the door and watched.

Like Yewu, he also really liked the One Piece manga. He was very excited by the many imaginative sword techniques in the manga and wished he could try them out with a sword—unfortunately, he could no longer do that.

"The Ice-Ice Fruit is so powerful... Devil Fruits are truly unbalanced things."

Moonlight and Fire couldn't help but feel envious.

Although their clan also has a bloodline limit called Transcendent, its abilities are mostly limited to assassination, and due to Transcendent, their physique has always been relatively weak.

Devil Fruits are different.

Its most significant side effect is that it is afraid of seawater.

If only I had a Devil Fruit, I'd accept it even if it was a Zoan type!

Yukiko was lost in her fantasies.

If he had a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, he wouldn't have been injured due to exhaustion, and he wouldn't be facing the problem of retirement at just over thirty years old.

Of course, these are just thoughts.

If he really had a Devil Fruit, he would probably give it to Yewu first, since children are the future of the family.

of course.

He came here not just to read comics, but also to wait for Akabane's arrival.

The comics were just a side effect.

After finishing One Piece, he picked up Naruto and continued watching.

I only saw the part about Hayate Gekko's death in Naruto, and to be honest, as the head of the Gekko clan, he had quite a few complaints about that part.

It's true that the Moonlight Clan is physically weak, but it's not to the point of "losing half of their skill upon losing their sword." If their sword gets stuck, they can just throw it away and keep running.

It's in line with the plot that only Hayate is tracking such an important mission, but Konoha can't be left without backup. As long as they delay and escape, they'll eventually reunite with their teammates.

That's unreasonable, absolutely unreasonable!

As Tsukiko Yukihi watched, she felt increasingly heartbroken.

This sickly fellow was actually the only character to appear in the Moonlight Family...

As he read on, he gradually forgot about Moonlight Gale.

It's true that the Gekko family members are physically weak, which explains why people criticize them, but the storyline is definitely engaging, though things get a bit messy with Kakuzu's part...

He couldn't help but pause for a few seconds.

When the first generation was still alive, Kouka was still very young. I vaguely remember that there was such an incident, but wasn't the one who fought Kakuzu a wood clone?

Thinking of this, Koki's expression suddenly turned strange.

Of course, he wasn't the only one who discovered this; in the distant land of rivers, two other people also discovered the same problem.

Kakuzu, Madara.

The Land of Rivers and the Land of Fire are quite close, so the manga updates are relatively quick; you can usually get the previous day's updates by the next day.

therefore……

When Madara and Kakuzu received the update at the same time and read through all the plot, Madara fell into deep thought, followed by a suspicious look as he examined Kakuzu.

The corner is under immense pressure.

The claim that he had fought the first generation was initially something he told the villagers to fulfill his obligation, but later it became his catchphrase to highlight his own strength.

He seemed to have mentioned this matter when he fought with that kid Akabane.

But now sitting in front of him is Uchiha Madara.

So he was embarrassed.

"You actually fought Hashirama? I can't believe it. But it must have been a wood clone. If it was the real Hashirama, even if you had a thousand hearts, you wouldn't be half as good as him."

Ban glanced at it, then said without any politeness.

Kakuzu fell silent.

How am I supposed to respond to what you're saying?

Madara sneered and said disdainfully, "Don't be unconvinced. Although the Wood Clone has a considerable portion of the original body's power, it cannot use Sage Mode or some powerful ninjutsu. If that guy really makes a move... one strike can destroy a thousand hearts at the same time."

As the greatest advocate of Hashirama Senju in the ninja world, he had the deepest understanding of him.

That guy is too kind.

True power is only revealed when one is angry or serious. Someone with Kakuzu's strength was probably just someone Hashirama Senju was playing around with.

"Mr. Madara, I didn't say any of that. That's all stuff from the manga!"

Kakuzu is in a lot of pain.

Sure enough, he still wasn't quite comfortable being someone else's subordinate.

He didn't have a choice before, but now Kakuzu would rather be a businessman, but unfortunately trouble always seems to find him.

Kakuzu admitted that he missed the time when he worked with Akabane.

No need to be subservient to others, no need to be forced to do things, no need to be scolded like a son...

Ban did not continue his mockery.

After finishing the comic, he put it away, sat for a while, then stood up and said, "You've had a tough time lately. I'm leaving the Land of Rivers for a while now, so you don't need to be so reserved anymore."
