I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Akabane walked over and saw a middle-aged man who was bound by the tentacles of the Earth Grudge Fear and had fallen into a coma.

There is no problem from the outside.

"Just like Jugo in your manga, he can suddenly go berserk and transform into a very powerful form, but the form is obviously not as complete. You see him as being in his thirties or forties, but according to my investigation, he is only twenty years old this year."

Kakuzu still gave Akabane an explanation.

This is what you look like at twenty?

That's too mature for her.

Jugo didn't have such severe side effects back then, how did it become so terrible in his hands?

Thinking about this, he observed carefully.

This is clearly the home of the bound person, and there are also some chains that can be seen, which he obviously used when he went berserk, but their purpose does not seem to be significant.

He crouched down and examined the body using his medical knowledge and special techniques, and he understood the reason.

First of all, he is not a ninja and cannot extract chakra on his own.

Secondly, his willpower is not particularly strong.

In the manga, Jugo wasn't originally a ninja, but he worked hard to control himself and met Kimimaro and Orochimaru. After that, he must have learned the techniques of extracting and controlling Sage Chakra.

This one in front of me is different.

When entering Sage Mode, the "Cursed Seal" will brutally extract Sage Chakra on its own, with side effects similar to the situation where the system forcibly extracted Ashura Chakra for Akabane, resulting in a significant decrease in physical strength.

If this continues, it's no wonder that it will deplete one's life force.

Living in a stinky place like a swamp might also be to avoid accidentally hurting others.

However, Akabane was more concerned about Kakuzu. This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually knew how to do research?

"Hmph, don't think of me as that idiot in the comics."

Kakuzu seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and replied with a cold laugh—clearly still bothered by the scene where he suddenly died in the manga.

"So what did you discover?"

“His physique is very special. He can perform the kind of cursed seal transformation you see in your comics. It should be the same thing. As for why he has this physique... I suspect it may be influenced by some kind of powerful and strange force.”

Kakuzu crouched down and roughly patted the man's face, waking him from his unconsciousness.

He went berserk as soon as he awoke.

So, Kakuzu slapped him unconscious again, then shrugged at Akabane.

This is insane! It automatically enters a state as soon as it wakes up?

He thought about it for a moment and came up with several possibilities.

The power of this cursed seal comes from Ryuchi Cave. Orochimaru found the location of Ryuchi Cave by studying the origin of Jugo's Sage Body.

The reason this guy is so crazy might be partly due to his own willpower, and another possibility is that Ryuchi Cave is not far from here.

Thinking of this, Akabane looked around, somewhat worried that a snake might suddenly jump out from somewhere—Ryuchi Cave had tried to get him there through Orochimaru before, and although he wasn't too afraid of snakes, he still felt uneasy about getting close to their lair.

"It's probably nearby. I sent out a Di Yuan Yu to search for a long time, but I lost one of my Earth Escape Di Yuan Yu clones."

Kakuzu stared at the "middle-aged man" with an unfriendly tone.

Judging from his expression, if Akabane doesn't come, the "middle-aged man's heart is probably going to break.

"No, I need this. Someone will take care of my heart."

Akabane felt no guilt whatsoever when selling Orochimaru, since Orochimaru would still take over if he were taken to Konoha anyway.

As for the heart.

Konoha has a bunch of cultists, each of whom has slaughtered many people. Kakuzu wouldn't feel any guilt if he were given to them.

"Okay, I'll negotiate the benefits myself."

Kakuzu wasn't forced to stay. Anyway, he knew exactly who to ask for the benefits from, and Orochimaru probably exchanged quite a few insights with him.

Akabane himself isn't clean either, so it's best to turn a blind eye to these things.

Anyway, no one intends to harm Konoha.

Next, he chatted with Kakuzu for a while about One Piece sales and inquired about the whereabouts of the "red-haired boy".

The result was obvious: not a single piece of information was received.

Black Zetsu hid the person very well. At least Kakuzu's group searched half of the ninja world but failed to find a lone red-haired boy. This "middle-aged man" was an unexpected find during their search for the red-haired boy.

Having received no news from the Uzumaki clan, Akabane took his share of the profits and headed home—he had given away a considerable amount of his spare money yesterday to appease Tsunade's anger, which was why he had come to see Kakuzu.

It's more convenient to go back.

This guy has special abilities, but when he's not in a berserk state, he's not much different from an ordinary person. Akabane easily brought him back to Konoha.

However, the distance was far, so it still consumed a lot of chakra.

After handing the immortal body over to Orochimaru for "training," Akabane returned to the village to rest and organize the material he needed to draw next.

Because of the missions, only one shadow clone was left in the store today. Not to mention One Piece manga, even Naruto only has five chapters of minimum guarantee.

But fortunately it's not a big problem.

Five episodes is relatively short, but it has a lot of content. On one side, Naruto is training in Sage Mode, and on the other side, Sasuke's team goes to capture Killer Bee.

Sage Mode is quite novel to most people, except for a few who are familiar with it.

Orochimaru and Tsunade are among them.

They all knew what Sage Mode was, and they had even subtly inquired about the training process at Mount Myōboku from Jiraiya.

As for the Third Hokage and his group, they had asked Akabane and Orochimaru before, and even later when Fukasaku descended the mountain, the Third Hokage consulted with him, and he was well aware of the great side effects of Sage Mode.

Therefore, these five episodes didn't make much of a splash.

however.

What happens next is different. From here on, as Naruto approaches Sage Mode, a classic scene from Naruto will unfold—Pain's Six Paths invade Konoha.

This part is quite brilliant.

When Pain's Six Paths attacked, they almost wiped out Konoha. If Naruto hadn't unleashed his power and used his "Mouth-Jutsu" to persuade Nagato to use Rinne Rebirth, Danzo might have been the only one to dominate Konoha.

Huh, Danzo...emmmmm.

In this part of the story, Danzo actually makes an appearance. He insidiously kills the communication frog of Mount Myōboku, attempting to prevent Naruto from returning to Konoha.

Akabane fell into deep thought.

Although this was originally Danzo's storyline, Danzo is still one of our own, and the current situation is vastly different from what it will be later... Most importantly, he's one of our own!

Let's have Mitokado Yan appear this time.

Of course, how others interpret Mitokado Homura's affiliation is not Akabane's concern.

All he could say was, "Teacher, I tried my best."

Chapter 312 Is rolling my eyes really that undignified?

In fact, Danzo, Koharu Utatane, and the other two characters did nothing wrong in the manga.

Faced with the overwhelming Akatsuki organization, Konoha was almost powerless to resist. Preserving its strength and preventing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from being captured was the safest course of action.

however.

No one expected Pain to be so fierce, single-handedly taking down the entire Hidden Leaf Village. It's estimated that if Naruto hadn't come out, only Danzo and his group would have survived in the end.

The person is gone, what kind of Hokage is he?

This is something Akabane doesn't quite understand.

The Naruto series is ultimately about people; without people, everything falls apart. Pain came with overwhelming force, and while those with high strength could easily escape, everyone else became cannon fodder.

Like now.

If Madara and Black Zetsu attack, Akabane, Mito Uzumaki, and Danzo's Anbu will all have to preserve their strength and escape, and the remaining Konoha people will definitely be wiped out.

Akabane felt that there was no right or wrong in this matter; it was just that everyone had their own considerations. But in terms of the outcome, Danzo was wrong—because Naruto won.

It's almost evening now, and he doesn't plan to work overtime at this hour. He's just here to organize his thoughts so he can get back to work more easily tomorrow.

Especially the section about Mitokado and Danzo.

If you're going to shift the blame, you have to do it thoroughly.

No matter what, Danzo would be an extremely powerful figure if he were still alive, and it would be unreasonable for him not to intervene when a village was being wiped out.

As for Mitokado's opinion...

At this moment, probably no one will care about his opinion, because he himself is in the Dark Division's prison reflecting on his actions.

Although he previously held the status of an advisor elder, which prevented anyone from doing anything to him, he has now essentially lost the privileges of being an advisor and can only receive this kind of preferential treatment.

There was nothing we could do; he just kept tinkering with the "roots."

Even Danzo has given up on the idea of ​​forming the Root of the Dark Side, yet he's still jumping around here. No wonder the Third Hokage and Danzo don't acknowledge their old friendship.

Moreover, it seems that it was Uzumaki Mito herself who spoke up about this matter. Before Uzumaki Mito said that he could be released, no one dared to plead with the Third Hokage.

Since the parties involved are not present, Shuihumenyan is destined to take the blame.

The next day, when Akabane woke up, the five chapters had already been delivered to Konoha—thanks to technological reforms and expansion, a mere five chapters could be completed in just half a day.

Just as Akabane predicted, the impact of these five chapters was not significant.

Many people are amazed by the existence of Sage Chakra, but that's about it...

Just by looking at the comics, you can tell that most people have nothing to do with this stuff.

On the other hand, Akabane's exchange list has added the Sage Mode exchange, which doesn't require many points, just over three thousand.

Different sacred sites utilize natural energy differently, resulting in subtle differences in effects and the application of Sage Chakra.

The items on the list are most likely from Mount Myoboku.

However, that's not necessarily true.

Also from Mount Myōboku, the Sage of Six Paths' Sage Mode didn't have any special changes, while Jiraiya's version was so ugly it was an eyesore.

From this perspective, the degree of change should be related to the level of mastery of Sage Mode.

It's a product of the system, so it should be trustworthy.

After pondering for a long time, Akabane did not immediately decide to exchange for it, but instead temporarily put Sage Mode as his top priority for exchange.

Because there aren't many points available.

With war approaching, the income from points has decreased significantly. In addition, the update speed of Chiyu has slowed down, and the daily income is only a little over 7,000, which is a huge difference from the previous 10,000 or so.

Although he had managed to scrape together over 30,000, he needed to exchange 30,000 for the Bat Fruit—even though he was very strong, he still wasn't confident he could defeat Uchiha Madara one-on-one.

Besides, why fight one-on-one when you can gang up on someone?

What's the point of talking about chivalry with evil spirits and heretics? Akabane had no psychological burden whatsoever. He didn't care about face; he only cared about whether he could survive.

I've only lived a little over a decade of my life, and I don't want to trade places with Ban, an old man who's reached the end of his life.

Trading one for one is something only a fool would do.

Um, I wasn't implying anything about the teacher.

After getting up, Akabane stretched his limbs.

The ninjutsu scroll was given to the Third Hokage yesterday, so he doesn't have much to do today and can just go to the comic book shop.

As usual, four clones remained at the comic shop.

Each shadow clone can last for six or seven hours and can work until evening—provided that the clones can keep working and do not become lazy.

But this is obviously unlikely.

As Akabane's hand speed increased, the clones would also find time to slack off, so by the end of the afternoon, the four clones had only completed the tasks he had assigned.

Today's task: ten episodes of Naruto and ten episodes of One Piece.

In One Piece, we've officially entered the Enies Lobby arc—Luffy and his crew have landed on Enies Lobby and are now engaged in battle with the island's inhabitants.

This is quite a brilliant piece, at least that's what Akabane thinks.
