I'm drawing manga in Naruto

When Orochimaru learned of this, he felt very guilty and almost shed a tear as he saw Orochimaru off.

To express his "apology," he took charge of perfecting the last key aspect of the puppet—giving it a certain degree of autonomy.

It's a very simple machine; it simply activates its maximum speed to escape after being attacked.

To others, this kind of "mecha" is useless, but the weakest part of a ninja who has mastered the Spirit Transformation Technique is his physical body, so this kind of mecha is just right.

Dan was very happy, showing no sign of frustration on his face. He even told Orochimaru that he had originally wanted to ask him for help with the problem that day, but when he saw Tsunade there, he didn't dare to mention it and left immediately...

So Orochimaru was quite embarrassed—it turned out he was looking for himself.

Fine.

I would rather betray others than be betrayed by them.

Akabane doesn't know the truth, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. The rumors have already been blown away. Why would he go and tell Danzo to bring Dan back?

When war breaks out, he himself will go to the front lines; what's there to say?

For example, right now, Akabane has accepted Danzo's mission to escort Roshi to Iwagakure. Danzo is very thoughtful and left a special kunai in Iwagakure. If Akabane has enough chakra, he can even fly directly to Iwagakure.

However, the chakra consumption for ordinary ninjas using Flying Thunder God Technique is not too great, but for Jinchuriki... flying from Konoha to the Land of Rivers would probably consume a lot of chakra.

There was no other way but to walk.

To prevent Old Purple from being uncooperative, Akabane even personally gave him a set of Naruto and One Piece manga as a "final gift," and also to help Old Purple pass the time.

"My lord, can you spare me?"

Lao Zi was in a very low mood.

He knew he would probably die if he went back. In the past, he would just die; he had no choice but to die anyway. Rather than go back and be despised and imprisoned, he would rather die.

But after reading the comic, he suddenly didn't want to die anymore.

"impossible."

After Akabane finished speaking, he glanced at her and said coldly, "Are you leaving on your own, or am I controlling you to leave?"

Old Purple knew that Akabane was a master of illusion, and that his illusions were extremely powerful.

I defeated him before by using genjutsu, water release, and lightning release. He was a powerful ninja with terrifying abilities.

He chose to leave on his own.

At least this way, I can finish reading the comics I have at the end of my life, and at least I can die without regrets.

Obviously, Lao Zi is overthinking things. Naruto and One Piece are not over yet, so how could he possibly die without regrets?

Upon reaching the border of the Land of Fire, Akabane estimated that he could probably use the Flying Thunder God Technique to get to Loguetown, so he patted him on the shoulder and told him to put away his manga first.

Next.

Flying Thunder God, teleport.

After leaving the Land of Rivers, Akabane didn't stop and continued towards the Hidden Stone Village. Rōshi didn't dare to run; Akabane's strength was too great, and there was no way he could escape.

There are still comics to read now, but once you start reading, all the comics are gone.

Along the way, he traveled steadily, engrossed in his phone, reading comics as he went. Nourished by the tailed beast's chakra, his stamina was not bad. Although he was a few years younger than Akabane, he did not seem to have expended much energy when he reached the border of the Land of Rivers.

At this moment, Lao Zi saw that Chi Yu had stopped.

He vaguely understood that they would definitely use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport again, just like before.

then……

"Please wait a moment, let me finish reading before you leave."

Old Zi sat down and sped up his reading of the comic. The plot was very engaging for him; both Naruto's resilience and Gaara's transformation touched him deeply.

Perhaps... I lack a friend like Naruto.

He thought with a touch of regret.

Jinchuriki can earn a lot of points, so Akabane is happy to let him finish reading the manga first, and besides, Onoki is no good person.

To be precise, purely good people don't get the role.

The same goes for Ohnoki.

This trip was supposed to be to escort the Jinchuriki, but Danzo put Akabane in charge to prevent Ono no Kinoshita from secretly harming Konoha, so he needed to prepare more chakra.

As Lao Zi read further into the story, his mood grew increasingly somber. After a long while, he finally finished reading.

"Lord Akabane, in the later parts of the manga... will the ninja world be at peace? Will the status of Jinchuriki remain the same as it is now?"

Lao Zi is a person with his own thoughts.

Even though he is very young, he has thought a lot about the status of Jinchuriki, and most of what he says now is what he thinks.

He longed for peace and for the Jinchūriki to be treated fairly.

Akabane pondered for a long time, then gently shook his head and said, "Peace is always only temporary. As for Jinchuriki... perhaps. But if you ask about the manga, I would say 'yes'."

"Is that so... I really hope that someone like Naruto will appear in the world."

Old Zi smiled, stood up, and patted his pants.

We can set off now.

Akabane "reminded" him, "Don't you watch One Piece?"

"No, it's not over yet anyway, and I don't want to die with two regrets."

Lao Zi stood beside him.

Akabane put his arm around Danzo's shoulder and used his chakra to move to the spot where Danzo had placed the specially made kunai.

After being teleported, the location was on a hilltop far from Iwagakure. From here, one could see the face of Iwagakure. Old Purple's expression was complicated. This was Iwagakure, his hometown.

Not long after Akabane arrived, a figure appeared beside him.

"The ninjas of Konoha, and..."

The Iwagakure ANBU saw the two, paused for a moment, and then quickly disappeared.

Akabane could sense that he hadn't left, but had simply hidden himself away.

In addition, a number of people from Iwagakure rushed out, numbering around several dozen. Judging from their auras, most of them were Special Jonin or Jonin level.

Before long, a short man arrived first—he had flown in from the sky.

The third Tsuchikage, Onoki.

"As expected, Danzo deliberately dropped this kunai. I didn't expect that someone would still be able to master the Flying Thunder God Technique after the Second Hokage's death."

Ohnoki looked down from above.

"Don't fly at my head, you're not a woman."

Akabane couldn't help but mutter a complaint, then raised his hand, instantly conjuring dazzling lightning. Dark clouds filled the sky, and in the blink of an eye... a bolt of lightning pierced the air and struck down.

Ohnoki was horrified and quickly dodged the lightning.

However, he then discovered that he was under some kind of illusion... and then he fell from the sky and crashed straight to the ground.

Gara~

Chapter 311 Onoki, a minor ailment left untreated will become a major illness!

"Third generation, are you okay?"

A group of ANBU arrived. Some went to wake Onoki, while others wanted to reprimand Akabane. However, many ANBU ninjas saw the rocks nearby that had been shattered by lightning, so they quietly tugged at their companions' sleeves, telling them not to continue provoking him.

Lao Zi was not surprised.

Even he and that mysterious man were easily defeated by illusions. Although Onoki was very strong, everyone was equal in the face of illusions, and no one was better than the other.

They're all the same kind of trash who'll fall apart with one move anyway.

Onoki forced himself to stand up and said with a relaxed expression, "This little guy is really unfriendly. I'm just using ninjutsu to fly in the air, and you want to use genjutsu and lightning release to deal with me."

"Hehehe."

Akabane smiled without saying a word. From his observation, Onoki seemed to have twisted his waist when he fell from the sky without any warning during the spell.

Although I am young and strong now, and can recover quickly if I push myself, it would be troublesome to leave a hidden injury to save face.

If minor illnesses are left untreated, major illnesses will become difficult to cure.

Out of humanitarian concern, Akabane "kindly" apologized and reminded him: "I'm sorry, Tsuchikage-sama, I have some health issues... By the way, I know some medical techniques, so I'll check you out now, just in case you've hurt yourself after the fall."

"No need. I am the Tsuchikage after all. This is nothing... cough, let's talk about business first. The supplies have already been sent to Konoha and are on their way. These are the remaining three types of ninjutsu."

Onoki casually tossed a scroll over, his movements elegant, to show that he was unharmed.

The document contains three B-rank Earth Release ninjutsu unique to Iwagakure. Their value is extremely high, far exceeding that of money.

Akabane checked it and put it away only after confirming that everything was correct.

Having witnessed Akabane's strength and faced the threat of the Flying Thunder God Technique, the people of Iwagakure no longer had any other thoughts and honestly conducted the transaction.

As for Lao Zi...

I'm quite satisfied to have been able to finish reading so many comics before I die, it's just a pity I didn't get to see the ending.

He was a Jinchūriki, or a rogue ninja who was captured after rebelling.

Therefore, his fate was beyond doubt.

"Well... consider these two comic sets a personal gift to you. Do with them as you see fit. Goodbye!"

Akabane had no intention of interfering with Rōshi.

If you dare to rebel, you must be prepared to be caught. Konoha captured him for a transaction, not to recruit him into the village, so he has no right to help Roshi.

Giving him comics to look at is already the greatest act of kindness.

Onoki watched with a smile as Akabane departed using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Originally, the plan was to send ninjas to retrieve the ninjutsu scroll, but after witnessing Akabane's strength, no one had the will to do so. They all looked at Onoki and asked, "Sir, what's next..."

"Help me up first. I twisted my waist trying to avoid that brat's lightning, but I didn't expect there to be an illusion. I fell down when I fell from the sky!"

As Ohnoki spoke, a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He didn't want to lose face in front of Akabane.

After all, he was still a young man and the Earth Shadow, and it would be too embarrassing to reveal that he had suffered a great loss to a fourteen-year-old.

Little did he expect that his act of throwing the scroll would worsen his injuries...

"Back to the village. Oh, and take this brat and the comics back with us. They were traded for resources, after all, we can't let them go to waste."

Onoki gave Rōshi a disgruntled look.

If it weren't for this guy, they wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble, and they wouldn't have had to spend a lot of resources to redeem him from Konoha.

the most important is……

My back~

Onoki clutched his aching lower back; this was the first time he, in his youth, had been tormented by back pain, and he secretly hated Akabane.

If it weren't for that guy, this wouldn't have happened.

……

He returned alone, but to avoid using the Yin Seal's chakra, Akabane still chose to transit through the Land of Rivers, and also came to see Kakuzu to get a better understanding of the situation.

Kakuzu had been tormented by Madara before, and now he is very afraid that Madara will come after him, so he has even changed his hiding place. He will never set foot in Loguetown unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, Akabane went to great lengths to find him.

Kakuzu's new base is in the middle of nowhere, and in keeping with his usual style, it is located on the edge of a swamp.

It smells terrible here, but the good thing is that hardly anyone comes here—great ninjas can endure things that ordinary people cannot.

Kakuzu already has the potential to become great.

Akabane pinched his nose and forced himself to walk in, enduring the stench. He found Kakuzu fiddling with something in a corner: "What are you doing?"

"It is you."

Kakudo was startled, but he quickly regained his composure after realizing it was Akabane.
