I'm drawing manga in Naruto

"who are you?"

Hanzo's guards appeared instantly, looking wary.

"I am Uchiha Madara."

The shadowy figure said coldly.

Hanzo didn't believe it. Instead, he let out a cold laugh and said, "You're Uchiha Madara? What proof do you have?"

"Ha, I don't need evidence, and I don't need your belief. One day you will find out that I am still alive. When that time comes, will you join me in creating a peaceful world, or will you continue to be bullied by the great powers... I hope you can make a choice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadowy figure vanished.

Hanzo called out a few times but received no response, realizing the other person had already left. He was momentarily stunned, then sat down in his seat with a complicated expression.

He didn't notice how the other person came or went at all.

Could this ability really be Madara Uchiha?

If the other party is Madara Uchiha, the reason for approaching him is most likely to create a real-life version of "Akatsuki," but the purpose...

World peace is just something to listen to for fun; if you take it seriously, you're doomed.

"Chief, what was that just now?"

"I don't know, maybe it really is Uchiha Madara, but it's not important to us. We can just keep watching the show. Sunagakure shouldn't be in chaos this time."

Hanzo sneered.

The events in Sunagakure are probably inextricably linked to this "Madara".

Chapter 294 I Won't Be a Simp

After discussing the collaboration, Akabane returned the cup to the front desk.

He was about to go back to his room to work, but as he turned around, he remembered what he had been told yesterday and immediately asked, "Brother Yunlang, did you mention the matter of the kuwu to Mr. Shanye?"

"Don't worry, I have already given the specially made kunai to Mr. Yamano. He said it should arrive in the land of rivers with the caravan tomorrow."

Kurama Yunlang replied.

"That's good."

The space marker is attached to the kunai.

Once he reaches the Land of Rivers, he can immediately use Flying Thunder God Technique to travel there and check on the situation in Loguetown.

Speaking of which, the manga I'm sending tomorrow should be ready when Kakuzu leaves the theater...

Would you consider this a greeting gift?

Perhaps if it were someone else, the guy would be so angry that he would kill someone; that guy has never been a kind soul.

However, now that we don't need the Kaleidoscope or psychological tactics, we can defeat Kakuzu with just the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, so there's nothing to be afraid of even if we go to see Kakuzu.

Being ambushed by Madara isn't a big problem; as long as the Yin seal is broken, the Flying Thunder God Technique will be enough.

He went back inside, and everyone had already drawn quite a few pictures.

Two people are handling One Piece updates, and two are responsible for Naruto updates. There are no extra tasks today, so I expect to be able to complete ten chapters of each of the two series.

Ten chapters isn't a lot, but it's not a lot either.

The next ten episodes of Naruto will advance the plot to Sasuke's counterattack against Orochimaru, and Konoha will also receive the news and begin searching for Uchiha Sasuke.

This is a small transitional plot point.

Starting with Sasuke's counterattack against Orochimaru, the Shippuden storyline truly unfolds, and some of the ninjutsu and abilities involved are well worth exchanging for.

For example, the art of water transformation.

The Hozuki clan's Water Transformation Technique is essentially an elemental transformation secret technique. Although it is countered by some ninjutsu, it is very useful in most situations.

He had previously captured a member of the Hozuki clan, but unfortunately, the Hozuki clan had sealed his water transformation technique with a secret technique, and forcibly breaking it might result in the victim's death.

However, having acquired the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his desire for the Water Transformation Technique diminished.

As for Jugo's immortal body constitution...

Forget it.

The most worthwhile item to exchange for is probably Obito's Hollowfication ability, but that comes with the Mangekyou Sharingan and cannot be exchanged at specific locations.

"Forget it, it's more practical to improve my own attributes."

Akabane shook his head slightly.

Based on the duel between Itachi and Sasuke, the Sharingan's immunity to genjutsu is not complete immunity.

It simply enhanced the hacking capabilities.

The same applies to the eyes of the freckled one.

Ordinary illusions are unlikely to work on Madara, but if one's mental strength is strong enough, one can still use illusions to harm Madara.

Therefore, the most crucial element is spiritual power, along with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan.

The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan first appeared during the battle between Itachi and Sasuke.

That storyline isn't far off.

As he drew, Akabane pondered these things in his mind. By the time he had thought about them enough, he had already completed half a chapter.

Of course, his speed was not actually fast, because his clones had each completed nearly a chapter.

"However, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan might cause some trouble for the Uchiha clan."

Akabane thought to himself.

The secrets of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan are probably unknown even to Genkai Uchiha...

Never mind, we'll see when the time comes.

He continued drawing, secretly slacking off as he went. Because of this, it wasn't until evening that everyone finally finished all the update tasks.

The comic content has been updated, and some work has been done on the cover, promotional posters, and bonus posters.

In each book, he still includes ten small posters.

After a long period of being influenced by the rules, no one would use such a despicable method as ninja abilities to find these ten posters. They all rely on luck to find them, and occasionally some lucky commoners will get them and sell them to people willing to pay a high price to get a considerable amount of money.

He does not prohibit this.

Ordinary people have their own way of life; there's no need to force them to do this.

After delivering the comics, he took the opportunity to visit the Third Hokage and learn about the situation on the front lines—although he was allowed to rest in Konoha, he was still actually responsible for providing support and coordination.

The operation against the cult went smoothly, and Orochimaru's abilities were fully demonstrated. Under his design and planning, not a single cult member was able to escape back from the Land of Fire.

As for the land of the western river...

This is something to pay attention to: Sunagakure has marched into the Land of Rivers, and this time it doesn't seem like a joke; they've genuinely sent a significant number of Jonin to target the battle in the Land of Rivers.

Today, numerous Jonin squads have entered the border area of ​​the Land of Rivers.

The Sand Village may really be about to take action.

Akabane returned from the Third Generation's place with some ideas in mind—since he was going to the Land of Rivers tomorrow anyway, he might as well go and see what was going on.

the next day.

The caravan arrived in the Land of Rivers as scheduled. This batch of comics was delayed by a day compared to Konoha, but the people in the Land of Rivers didn't care.

As long as you can see it, whether it's firsthand or not doesn't matter.

"Chief, what should we do with this kunai?"

The caravan guards took out the kunai.

This kunai was the one that Yamano Izumi Kou had asked them to bring to the Land of Rivers, and he had spoken of it very seriously at the time, even bringing up Akabane...

"Just put it in the shop. I believe Konoha will have its own ideas on how to handle it."

The caravan leader gave the order.

This kunai is very special; it has a strange mark engraved on it. He felt that Akabane's decision to have them take it to the Land of Rivers was likely related to that mark.

To be specific...

It looks a bit like the kunai that the Fourth Hokage gave to Kakashi in the manga. Although the shapes are different, the markings on the handle are almost identical.

Therefore, the caravan leader judged that this was likely a kunai bearing the mark of the Flying Thunder God.

Just as he was thinking this, the next second...

"Ah! Who are you?!"

The guards' panicked shouts came from inside the house. The leader went in and, after a moment of surprise, immediately bowed and said, "Lord Akabane, I didn't expect you to actually come."

"I wouldn't call you 'sir.' I really have to thank you for bringing me kunai to the Land of Rivers. Otherwise, it might have been quite troublesome for me to run there on my own."

Akabane stretched his limbs.

He then ate a soldier's ration pill and asked the caravan for some dry rations, eating as he recovered.

The teleportation to the Land of Rivers consumed a lot of his chakra, so if a battle were to break out now, he would have to use the chakra within the Yin Seal.

After a long while, his chakra was finally restored.

At this moment, he thanked them again, disguised his appearance, left the shop and walked onto the street, using his sensory abilities to check the locations of Kakuzu and Madara as he walked.

Although Madara is strong, with his perception and abilities enhanced by Observation Haki, it would be difficult for him to escape Akabane's search.

but……

They searched the entire town of Loguetown but found no trace of Ban.

"It seems that Madara really is not in Loguetown, but he is probably still in the Land of Rivers, waiting for the war to break out... His next target may still be the tailed beasts of the Land of Wind."

Akabane thought to himself.

With Madara's abilities, sealing Shukaku would be a piece of cake, but Madara most likely hasn't summoned the Gedo Mazo yet.

Summoning a Gedo Mazo requires a large amount of chakra, and such a huge body must have a hidden place to live.

Moreover.

Madara probably doesn't trust Black Zetsu, and Black Zetsu has also realized this. The two may have already parted ways, otherwise Madara wouldn't need to win over Kakuzu.

Akabane pondered for a moment, then headed towards Kakuzu's location.

If it's confirmed that the other party is only one person, then it's time to meet with Kakuzu and clarify some things.

Kakuzu is in the tavern.

Akabane arrives at the tavern, and Nora recognizes his superior, knowing full well that he is leading him to see Kakuzu.

Upon reaching the basement, Kakuzu saw Akabane and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then sneered, "You've finally arrived. I thought you didn't care about the Land of Rivers. If you did, I would have run away long ago."

"No way, I was dealing with some things before, and I only had time to come now."

Akabane smiled slightly and found a stool to sit down.

Using "taking care of some things" as an excuse is obviously not a valid reason.

Both of them knew why they hadn't come before, but since their relationship wasn't that close, there was no need to explain these things too clearly.

Kakuzu didn't dwell on these things and went straight to the point: "Madara has left for now, but he'll definitely come back later. What do you plan to do?"

"Did you know that Madara has awakened the Rinnegan?"

"Reincarnation Eye?"

Kakuzu's heart skipped a beat, and a look of shock involuntarily appeared on his face.

For a ninja like him, ordinary news would hardly cause him to lose his composure like this, but the Rinnegan has only appeared in the Sage of Six Paths so far.

Madara has awakened such terrifying power; no wonder he dares to reappear in the world.

Kakuzu was increasingly glad that he hadn't fought Madara—the idea that a thousand hearts wouldn't be enough to kill him was no joke, but a real threat.

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

“That’s right. Previously, I fought a great battle with Madara at the Naka River with Lord Mito of the Senju clan. Madara was no match for him and fled from the Naka River to the Land of Rivers. The disappearance of the Sand Village monk was orchestrated by them.”

Akabane then explained.
