I'm drawing manga in Naruto

This must have been Akabane's idea.

If Gu Jie, with his stubborn mind, could come up with these strange and unusual things, he wouldn't have been stuck on this for so many years, only now finally resolving his inner conflict.

However, the Konoha government will definitely have to make a statement regarding this matter.

Even if it's just a charity event jointly launched by Akabane, Kosuke, and Tsukiko, they will still give it their full support and provide certain policy conveniences.

For example, the first piece of wood carving.

The first wood carving was not for sale, but things were different when the village intervened.

Upon learning the news, the third generation immediately stepped forward and purchased the first statue at a very high price, expressing their continued support for charitable causes.

The management of the charitable foundation was handed over to some members of the Kurama clan who were engaged in business.

Even so, the various handovers and initial handling of affairs still took Akabane a lot of time, and by the time he finished dealing with the foundation's matters, it was already dark.

However, thanks to this, the charity is extremely efficient.

The next day, the first batch of funding recipients was announced, and the first payment for the three generations of "funding" was disbursed that same day.

There's no need for Akabane to worry about these things anymore.

In the ninja world, money doesn't represent everything. Furthermore, with village ninjas, civilians, and Kurama Unro overseeing the accounts, it's believed that the clan members in charge of the charity association wouldn't be so greedy for money.

When they arrived at the small tea room, there was only Tsunade and a few other people there, a stark contrast to yesterday.

He originally intended to leave his clone behind and go back to rest.

But Tsunade is here...

If she pretends not to know even after you've clearly discovered it, you'll be in big trouble later.

Akabane walked out of the lounge and sat down in front of Tsunade.

Would you like a drink?

"Need not."

Tsunade raised her juice glass to indicate that she had just drunk a large glass.

Akabane sat down and exchanged pleasantries for a while.

The topics were nothing more than why she had free time today, and Tsunade answered them one by one. Later, she took out a scroll from her waist.

This is a scroll with a sealing effect, the seal of which was created by Mito Uzumaki.

She placed it on the table, unrolled the scroll, and then moved it to Akabane, saying, "Do you remember the creation and regeneration you mentioned in your manga?"

"You've already figured it out?"

Akabane was surprised. Mito Uzumaki's sealing technique was quite difficult, and even he couldn't break it. He could only guess based on Tsunade's words.

Tsunade nodded, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "I read your comics from yesterday and today. Did you complete this technique a long time ago?"

"Ah."

Akabane nodded stiffly.

He knew that this couldn't be hidden from Tsunade.

"really."

Tsunade wasn't angry; she just smiled knowingly.

Then she said, "But it's okay. I know you all mean well. Although I can't master Sage Mode right now, I have medical ninjutsu, which can save more of my comrades... That's fine too."

Ironically, Tsunade's idol at this time was "herself" in the manga.

She felt that if she could become a female ninja like that in the future, it would be something to be proud of—except, of course, for those who had a life of misfortune like being a lone star.

"It's best if you think so."

Akabane breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely worried that Tsunade would insist on learning Sage Mode. It wasn't that Sage Mode wasn't powerful, but it was truly unnecessary; it wasn't like they couldn't deal with Madara.

Tsunade chuckled as she spoke, then leaned closer and asked, "Was it because Danzo invited you for tea and a chat yesterday that you added a positive role for him today?"

"That's not true. The teacher always put Konoha first; becoming Hokage was just a secondary pursuit for him."

Akabane remained completely calm and composed.

In today's manga update, Danzo made a brief appearance—

Danzo ordered some of his ANBU to search for Pain's true form. Although they were intercepted by Konan along the way, they still managed to contribute.

In Tsunade's view, Danzo must have been furious after reading it yesterday, sought out Akabane for a "chat," and then Akabane, intimidated by his power, had no choice but to submit to the evil forces.

In fact, this is the opinion of most people.

Although not many people have seen the update yet, there are already quite a few comments on the comment section, some of which mention that "Lord Danzo could not possibly be so righteous."

Of course, this was just a sarcastic remark.

In reality, Danzo's character in the manga is far from righteous; on the contrary, he is a wicked schemer who takes advantage of the chaos to rob and seize the Hokage position, disregarding the safety of the village.

However, the war in the Land of Whirlpools had just ended, and Danzo's sacrifices for Konoha were witnessed by all the ninjas of this generation. He could not be called virtuous or great, but he was definitely not as disgusting as depicted in the manga.

This includes Tsunade.

Despite her dislike for him, deep down she knew that Danzo's actions in real life were not wrong—except for the one in the manga.

Tsunade still had to deliver the Creation Rebirth to the Hokage Building, and then she had to go to the hospital to see if she needed any surgery, so she didn't stay long. After chatting with Akabane for a while, she got up and left.

However, Akabane didn't get the rest he expected.

No sooner had Tsunade left than the ANBU ninja arrived. This ANBU member came in a hurry and did not leave a mark as Akabane had previously done. Instead, he appeared directly in the shop and asked Akabane to go to the ANBU in person.

Chapter 318 I, Shimura Danzo, am not worthy!

The Dark Guard only does this in the most urgent situations.

The Anbu ninja still needed to inform the Third Hokage, so Akabane didn't hesitate and immediately used Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at the Anbu headquarters, quickly heading to Danzo's location.

Danzo wasn't in his office, but at the Anbu emergency information transmission and receiving point. He sat in the middle with a very grim expression, and the atmosphere in the place was extremely heavy.

"Teacher, what happened?"

Akabane walked to the side, not daring to speak loudly, and instead asked Danzo in a low voice.

Danzo sighed, made a gesture for Akabane to follow him, and the two walked together toward the office.

After arriving at his office, he sat down and said, "We received information from the front lines that among the ninja squad that was assassinated by the Anbu yesterday, there was a puppeteer who is suspected to be Chiyo's son."

"Chiyo's son?"

Akabane was stunned. In his memory, Chiyo only had one son, so this meant that Sasori's father had died at the same time...

This is trouble!

This is Chiyo's precious treasure, and most importantly, Sasori hasn't even been born yet.

He took a deep breath and asked cautiously, "I'd like to know about Chiyo-senpai's husband?"

"Died at the hands of Iwagakure during the great battle."

Danzo covered his blind eyes and slowly uttered information about Chiyo's husband.

"..."

That's it, the family line will never end.

Akabane sat down, remained stunned for a few seconds, and then asked, "Who made the move?"

"Shuo Mao and Zi Xiao, or more accurately, Shuo Mao killed them all by himself."

Danzo propped his head up.

His original plan was to get Ebizo's help and find out what Madara had done to Suna, so that he could launch a counterattack at the crucial moment.

But this was something he really hadn't expected.

With Chiyo's son dead, a small-scale war is inevitable, given that he was an advisor and elder of Sunagakure, and one of the most powerful and influential ninjas in the village.

Although Ebizo also had a voice, it was clearly not enough to rival Chiyo and Sunako.

Besides, there are blemishes hidden in the shadows.

"Chiyo hid her son very well, basically not letting him participate in foreign wars. We had no information about him at all before. This time, his squad ambushed two of our elite ANBU squads. It was only through the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan that we found out he was Chiyo's son."

Danzo sighed for a moment, then looked up at Akabane.

His gaze was simple—what are your thoughts?

What could Akabane be thinking? He had both the hatred of killing his son and the hatred of having no descendants. He had encountered both of these great hatreds in one trip.

Danzo could tell from Akabane's expression that he was helpless.

He forced a smile and said, "Forget it, there's no use regretting it now. We don't have Naruto's eloquence, and no matter what we say, Chiyo won't let go of her hatred. Let's just prepare to fight."

Anything is possible in war.

Even the son of a Kage could die on the battlefield. With the death of an elder's son, Konoha cannot be so cowardly as to hand over Sakumo. Therefore, a battle is inevitable.

Danzo was having a headache about how to fight.

"It must be Madara and Black Zetsu manipulating things behind the scenes. They deliberately sent Chiyo's son to the battlefield in order to further escalate the conflict between us and Sunagakure. If we go to war with Sunagakure, they will have achieved their goal."

Akabane quickly said.

With Konoha's current strength, it's not impossible for them to annihilate Sunagakure.

However, firstly, Konoha would suffer heavy losses, giving other ninja villages an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Secondly, the other ninja villages would certainly not stand by and watch Konoha break the balance of power among the five great villages.

At that time, the war in the Land of Rivers will trigger a large-scale melee across the entire ninja world—or it may be a bloody war waged against Konoha.

"Madara's eyes are still those of a Tailed Beast. As long as the ninja world descends into chaos, he will be able to take advantage of the situation and use his Rinnegan to capture even more Tailed Beasts. At that point, he will be even more difficult to deal with, but..."

Danzo understood perfectly well, but the problem now was how to break the deadlock.

Akabane originally wanted to go to the front lines to use the power of the Human Path in his Rinnegan to read information from the bodies of the dead ninjas, but then he thought that the Yamanaka clan had already completed this task...

Besides, even if we knew more, it wouldn't help.

Madara did not appear directly, and most of the Sunagakure ninjas were unaware of his existence. This explanation only makes it seem like Konoha is making excuses.

This is a problem that no one in Konoha can solve.

We can only look at the Sand Village.

"If you have time, go to the front lines for me and check on the situation. Also, please pass on a message... Konoha will stand behind them, so they don't need to worry."

"Yes."

Danzo sighed and pulled a comic book out from under the table... He might as well read the comic to calm down first. Only by calming down can he think of a more perfect solution.

He opened the comic book, and then became even more frustrated.

In reality, there are countless problems, and the comics are still discussing issues of hatred and peace...

Payne is right in part; hatred and resentment are not so easily erased, and no one will buy into a simple "for peace" excuse.

Madara's plan was an open secret. Even though Danzo, the Third Hokage, Akabane, and even Ebizo knew it, they still couldn't stop the war from happening.

This is the power of hatred.

but……

Earth-shattering star.

Is this the power of the Rinnegan?

He pulled out a scroll containing the Rinnegan eye technique as recounted by the hermit of Mount Myōboku.

Danzo carefully searched through the documents and finally found the record of Chibaku Tensei.

The most powerful sealing technique capable of creating the moon.

"It's truly astonishing. Fortunately, Madara seems to have some reservations, otherwise Konoha wouldn't have been able to stop him at all... no, in the entire ninja world, no one could have stopped Madara."

The clearer you are about the opponent's strength, the more fearful and desperate you become.

Danzo took a deep breath and adjusted his mindset.

They are not without advantages. Although Sunagakure is controlled by Madara, Iwagakure has sided with Konoha due to the departure of its Jinchuriki.

Furthermore, the attitudes of Hanzo and Kumogakure...
