I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Akabane left, leaving the wooden carving in the courtyard. Mito Uzumaki had wanted him to take it with him, but he was distracted and forgot about it.

Only now did she remember this thing.

After taking a few glances, Mito Uzumaki felt that the wood carving was quite beautiful. The workmanship was exquisite, and the posture and color were perfect. You could probably not find another wood carving like it anywhere in the world.

So she stopped insisting on returning it.

Akabane was relatively quiet that day; after the Third Hokage and Orochimaru, not many people came to disturb them.

The comic was finally updated the next day.

When the posters and advertisements were put up, people who hadn't seen them for three or four days were overjoyed and came to the store early in the morning to wait.

If the comics hadn't been delivered to the factory relatively early, they might have had to wait a long time.

The comics delivered early in the morning invigorated all the waiting readers. Before the goods were even unloaded, they couldn't wait to rush over and buy them. In just one hour, half of the comics were sold, and the small tea room was already full.

Those who managed to snag a good spot sat down and watched with glee.

In this volume of the manga, the battle is nearing its end.

From the moment Naruto met Nagato, what everyone saw most was the verbal sparring and ideological clashes between Nagato and Naruto.

Everyone is watching very slowly.

The battle scenes may be exciting, but these dialogues conceal the author's personal thoughts—reflections on the nation, war, and peace.

This era had just experienced war, and wars of all sizes had not ceased.

Even ordinary people in Konoha know how terrible war is.

and so……

Everyone understands that Nagato's words were not actually wrong.

War, death, hatred, revenge—an endless cycle, like the First Shinobi World War. It stopped not because everyone knew the value of peace, but because too many people had died in every village.

Unwilling to see any more people die, they naturally stopped.

Large countries have large populations and abundant resources, so they recover quickly after wars. Even if some children lose their parents in the war, they are still cared for and protected by their villages.

Small countries are different.

The things Nagato said are real facts that happened in the ninja world—to take the most recent example, did the Land of Birds, which was annexed by the Land of Wind, participate in the war?

impossible.

Because it doesn't even have its own ninja village, it's so small that even wandering ninjas can run rampant in the Land of Birds.

How could such a country possibly provoke the Kingdom of Wind? But it had beautiful mountains and rivers, yet lacked the power to protect its homeland, so it was annexed.

of course.

It's impossible for everyone to truly empathize. Living in Konoha, a relatively peaceful village, people can only feel sympathy at most, but they won't truly understand the helplessness of a small country or village.

Even ordinary people in Konoha are like this.

but……

Then, everyone saw Naruto pull out a book.

A story of perseverance and endurance.

This book had appeared before, and there was a scene where Naruto was moved to tears.

At this moment, he took out the book again.

to be frank.

Looking at the manga alone, Jiraiya and this tale of a determined ninja seem very incongruous. After all, the real Jiraiya was just a kid who loved art and manga, and there was no sign of any great potential in him.

Chapter 323 The Sixth Hokage—Danzo?

However, this sense of incongruity only lasted for a short while.

Upon closer reflection, Jiraiya in the manga doesn't seem to be much better; he still frequents bathhouses, brothels, and other such places, and is lecherous and sleazy.

It's just that Jiraiya's recent storylines have been very moving, and with the saying "respect for the dead," I suddenly felt that this person's spirit was incredibly noble, and I overlooked his past misdeeds.

From this perspective, humans are indeed prone to forgetting.

Everyone realized once again that Nagato was quite the smooth talker, but as they watched further, they were all confused.

Naruto's talkativeness...

You said that in the past, when you persuaded people like Gaara, it felt like there were clues to follow, but now this set of verbal sparring techniques makes it impossible to find any point that can move Nagato.

Naruto just said it, and Nagato believed it.

Not only were the readers caught off guard, but even Konan, who was watching from the sidelines, was completely confused about what was going on. All she knew was that after Naruto spoke for a while, Nagato was willing to activate the Rinne Rebirth Technique.

Then, the entire village was resurrected.

All the dead came back to life, except for Jiraiya, who died in Amegakure, and Tsunade, who fainted due to excessive chakra depletion.

It's like playing.

of course.

Seeing the villagers come to life and gather on the vast open space created by Shinra Tensei, I couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

As long as you're alive, there's still hope.

Before they knew it, the group had finished reading today's update, which left them with a sense of regret.

They knew very well that Akabane's speed was already very fast, but even if there were many chapters updated every day, it was still not enough to read a manga.

However, given the current situation, with Danzo succeeding to the position of the sixth patriarch, I'm afraid...

Sigh, be careful with your words and actions.

People still dare not repeatedly do things that are dangerous. Although Danzo is not the Hokage and no one held a grudge last time, it is still best to avoid doing things that repeatedly challenge one's psychological limits.

of course.

Some people may not dare to speak out, but that doesn't mean no one will make fun of them.

During this period, the Third Hokage and Danzo had a lot of interaction, and they both got involved in experiments such as the Impure World Reincarnation and the Cursed Seal.

One reason is that they don't trust Orochimaru and don't want him to follow the same path as in the manga.

The other reason is that they don't trust ninjutsu.

Whether it's the cursed seal or the Impure World Reincarnation, Danzo wanted to develop them as quickly as possible, and he didn't care whether he would conduct any experiments.

So, the two of them stayed at the research institute.

When it comes to the Third Hokage's understanding of ninjutsu, it's undoubtedly exceptional. Although Danzo's knowledge wasn't as extensive as the Third Hokage's, his strength and knowledge were equally impressive.

With them around, Orochimaru's research progressed much faster.

However, even in my spare time, I can be quite annoyed at times.

Such as now.

Just then, an ANBU member delivered a newly updated manga, and since the Third Hokage was there, he naturally got to read it first, and so...

After reading it, the Third Hokage didn't mention his feelings about these things. But when he saw Danzo's words, he smiled knowingly and said, "Danzo, look at this. Your disciple's understanding of you is really accurate. The Sixth Hokage."

"..."

Danzo glanced at it, looking like he couldn't be bothered to pay attention, and went back to studying the curse seal.

Hokage?

I have no interest in Naruto!

Although he had let go of his obsession with Naruto, it would be a lie to say he wasn't angry at being provoked like that.

The Third Hokage made a little joke, and seeing that Danzo didn't respond, he chuckled and put the manga aside, preparing to continue researching the Impure World Reincarnation technique, just like Danzo and Orochimaru.

Danzo randomly picked up a book and said, "What's the use of Naruto? You're not much better than me. You died at the hands of your disciples. One disciple died, one was sealed away, and another is in a coma..."

"..."

This time, it was Orochimaru's turn to be heartbroken.

He looked up, his eyes filled with resentment. "It's one thing for you two not to focus on helping with the research, but you also have to come and mess with my mindset. What are you doing?"

"Ahem, I just checked, the Impure World Reincarnation is usable now, Orochimaru, you don't need to research this anymore."

The third generation coughed lightly to change the subject, while giving a word of advice.

Orochimaru fell silent.

Impure World Reincarnation is a very interesting technique; it relates to the mysteries of the soul, and to be honest, he really wants to continue researching it.

However, given the third generation's strong opposition, he had to consider his teacher's opinion. After a long silence, he nodded gently and said, "Teacher, I understand."

"Let's look at the cursed seal first. This thing... even if it's copied, it's still not as strong as the original. I'm more inclined to let Libra Tsukasa join Konoha and train his ninja abilities."

Libra Tsukasa is the name of the Libra clan's immortal body.

Danzo spent a long time studying materials today, and his understanding of the Cursed Seal was only slightly weaker than that of Akabane and Orochimaru.

He discovered that the cursed seal had a high mortality rate.

Furthermore, even if it succeeds, it won't be as powerful as the original. After all, a copy is just a fake, so it's normal that it can't compare to the original.

If that's the case, why not train Libra Tsukasa?

"There's always a way to solve the loyalty problem; we have plenty of those things on hand."

Danzo said calmly.

The Third Hokage thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's observe him first and see if he can truly integrate into Konoha. If he can, we won't need to be the bad guys."

"As you wish."

Danzo remained silent for a moment, then turned and left. He didn't return to the Anbu immediately, but instead came to the comic book shop.

As he walked, he looked at the comics he had taken from the research institute.

There are no cars in the ninja world, so the risk of being a "smartphone addict" isn't high.

When he returned to the village, he had already read the latest chapter of the manga and saw the "Sixth Hokage" that the Third Hokage had been referring to.

Danzo was very angry.

He didn't care at all about the Hokage.

It's just a seat anyway, and there aren't necessarily any advantages to sitting there.

But even the Daimyo doesn't approve of his manga version, preferring a greenhorn like Kakashi rather than prioritizing him as the Sixth Hokage...

That's not fair.

Am I weaker than Kakashi?

Furthermore.

Judging from the plot, the next part of the story should be Sasuke returning to Konoha to demand an explanation, and then, since I happen to be the Sixth Hokage, I rush to fight Sasuke to the death.

Without even watching the later plot, Danzo had already foreseen his own death.

How can a villain compete with the protagonist?

As he walked over to the comic book shop, he overheard some whispers—mostly about Kakashi and Danzo.

Clearly, people have many complaints about Danzo's shameless attempt to force his way into the Hokage position.

but……

When everyone noticed Danzo's arrival, the entire place fell silent instantly.

Akabane heard that it had quieted down outside.

I sensed it and immediately understood why—the teacher had come to visit.

He quickly gave a few instructions to his clones, then came out of the house. Outside, he saw many notes hanging on the comment board, one of which stood out—

"I will defeat Danzo! I will protect Konoha! Awooo... My blood is burning!"

This~

Although no name was left, judging from the style alone, it should be Dai.
