I'm drawing manga in Naruto

You're asking for death!

Akabane covered his face. Danzo wouldn't hold a grudge against the villagers; in the end, it would all fall on his side. The reason he wasn't looking for Danzo now was simply because his anger hadn't reached its peak.

Once Danzo dies, the plot will reach a minor climax with the villain being eliminated, and at that point, their own master will probably settle the score.

He stared at the comments section for a few seconds, then went to the front desk and grabbed a lot of food and drinks to replenish his energy, and then...

Akabane went home, took a shower, and prepared to go to sleep.

According to his normal schedule, he should still be in bed right now. He's been exhausted all day and needs to rest and recharge.

As for the update, I can draw it this afternoon.

Anyway, I have shadow clones.

Akabane slept soundly, but Jiraiya wasn't so comfortable.

He brought the Devil Fruit to the Hokage Building. The Third Hokage kept asking him how he obtained the Devil Fruit, so Jiraiya had to suppress his urge to go to the bathhouse and answer him in detail.

"Demon, fruit, disaster?"

The three generations frowned.

If we combine these possibilities, it's highly likely that the Devil Fruit brought about the disaster, causing the town to be submerged.

Is this the true meaning of Devil Fruits?

After considering it for a long time, he asked again, "Are you sure that the bird that ate the Human-Human Fruit really did transform into human form?"

"Yes, I got this fruit by killing another bird."

Jiraiya explained.

"According to that logic, the Devil Fruits that have been scattered around have most likely been eaten by birds and beasts. You're really lucky to have found two."

The Third Hokage held the Bat-Bat Fruit in his hand, stared at it for a few seconds, and then said, "Go back and rest. I'll take this to Lord Mito."

"Hehehe, okay."

Jiraiya gave a lewd smile and turned to leave.

The third generation quickly stopped him: "If you're going to do that kind of thing, you'd better be discreet. Don't keep getting caught. People might think..."

"Don't worry, teacher. My stealth skills and earth-遁术 have been developed to the point where I will never be caught."

Jiraiya patted his chest and gave his assurance.

"Ahem, it's good that your ninjutsu has improved, but you should also take care of your health and not overwork yourself."

The third generation's face flushed slightly, as if he was referring to something.

Jiraiya wouldn't listen to a word, and flew away from the Hokage Building, heading towards a certain part of the village.

Chapter 329 Immortality or Natural Aging

"Jiraiya, he's gone to the bathhouse again, tsk..."

When I woke up, it was already noon.

Within his perception range, Akabane discovered that Jiraiya was hiding underground in the bathhouse, with most of his body buried underground and only his head above ground, making him very well concealed.

For Jiraiya, who loves life, this past month or so has been incredibly stifling.

Akabane sighed for a moment, then couldn't bear to cause any more destruction.

After finally returning from the sea, would you really be human to interfere and ruin the last bit of fun people have?

He stopped paying attention to Jiraiya and stared at the other side.

That is where the Senju clan is located; the third generation has already gone to the Senju clan's territory.

If Mito Uzumaki consumes it, she will gain the power of the Bat-Bat Fruit, thereby achieving near-immortality—provided she is willing to drink blood.

Mito Uzumaki is a person of principle.

but……

Facing Ban, she would probably have to abandon some of her principles.

Akabane thought to himself.

He didn't personally deliver the fruit, partly because it was troublesome, and partly because he didn't want to offer advice.

Too troublesome.

Why waste your breath and talk when there are three generations to do it?

He closed his eyes and meditated, quietly extracting chakra.

of course.

Actually, there's no need to deliberately adopt this posture when extracting chakra. It's just Akabane's personal habit; he thinks it looks a bit more sophisticated and can slowly restore his mental energy.

After a short while, he extracted enough chakra from his body.

Afterwards, Flying Thunder God went to the comic book store, leaving behind four shadow clones, while he went out to have lunch to replenish the energy his body had used up.

However, this is just an excuse.

In fact, the clones knew that the original body simply wanted to be lazy.

Akabane sat outside the sushi restaurant, eating sushi while watching the crowds of people coming and going.

Even though it's been a while since the comic was updated and restocked, there are still quite a few people in front of the comic shop.

only……

There are only five episodes today, so the plot, conflicts, and climaxes are not very complete. Sasuke is just chasing Danzo everywhere and getting beaten up by various Kage, which makes him seem rather pathetic.

It's not that Sasuke is weak.

On the contrary, Sasuke was already very strong at this time, but he was completely unaware of the strength of the Five Kage. He underestimated his opponents because he thought he was very strong, which led to various unexpected events.

It can only be said that he inherited the bloodline of his ancestor, Uchiha Madara, and gained immense power and an arrogant personality.

The "Four Laughing Heroes" is not a mere coincidence.

Many people in the small tea room complained that Akabane's hearing was good and he could still hear everything even sitting there. However, the only thing people were complaining about was the part where Sasuke was beaten up; there wasn't much else to complain about.

After all, neither the Fourth Raikage A nor the Mizukage Mei Terumi recognized each other at this moment.

In everyone's eyes, these two are just made-up characters, so what's there to discuss?

But it was Uchiha Sasuke.

Although Sasuke is appearing more and more frequently, there have been very few Uchiha clan members who have awakened their Sharingan or advanced in power recently.

People have become numb to the impact of comics.

The remaining people either lack the potential to open their eyes or have too high a "tear threshold," making them unable to be moved by ordinary comic book plots.

Such people need real-world stimulation.

such as……

One's parents, or siblings, relatives, or partners die.

Nowadays, no Uchiha would be willing to do such a thing for a mere eye, because even a single tomoe is considered commonplace among the Uchiha.

Most of the time, these people can only be "ordinary ninjas," but once they awaken, they may become exceptionally powerful.

After all, the higher one's tear threshold, the stronger the reaction to stimulation.

Uchiha Genkai was well aware of this, so he came to Akabane without any worries. From the perspective of the clan, the current rapid development had far exceeded his expectations.

What more could you ask for?

Akabane also enjoys interacting with content people, which is one of the reasons why he prefers the Uchiha clan and is unwilling to have much contact with the Hyuga clan.

Although the Uchiha clan is insane, they know how to get tangible benefits!

What about the Hyuga clan?

Now, all I have besides money is a collection of books that aren't very useful. Do I really like these things that much?

Akabane was speechless.

The benefits offered were not entirely honest, yet the Hyuga clan still felt they were very generous.

After staring at it for a while, he got up and went back to the comic book shop.

The chakra of the Yin Seal must be replenished as soon as possible, so I can't help with the drawing for a while. I believe the clones will understand.

Once inside the shop, he sat down and continued extracting chakra.

The clones looked resentful.

But no way.

They also knew that in these turbulent times, accumulating enough chakra was essential, so they could only reluctantly accept that the main body was slacking off while they were working hard.

The clones disappeared one by one as lunchtime approached.

Akabane felt dizzy for a moment, but fortunately his mental strength was strong enough now, and he could only withstand about five clones' worth of fatigue. As long as he didn't exceed his limit, supporting this fatigue was not a problem.

This kind of instantaneous mental fatigue is exhausting, but compared to prolonged physical fatigue, he prefers the current mode.

The comic update is complete.

For now, there will only be five episodes of Naruto today – because one of the shadow clones is busy coloring a wood carving and cannot participate in the drawing.

However, there are no changes to One Piece; it remains at ten chapters, with the story still set on Enies Lobby, a rather long stretch of plot.

There is another ability that Akabane really wants on Enies Lobby.

Life returned.

This is a very practical and powerful ability.

However, even if he maintains this level of updates, it will still take him two or three days to develop this ability.

At the same time, someone from the Senju faction came looking for them; it was none other than Tsunade.

Tsunade clearly already knew about the Bat-Bat Fruit.

She was overjoyed because it meant that Mito Uzumaki could become young again, regain her peak physical condition, and protect Konoha, which she loved, forever.

however.

That's what they think, but Mito Uzumaki herself might not think so.

Tsunade sought out Akabane hoping he could offer advice and guidance.

"The three generations of officials failed to persuade him?"

Akabane was somewhat surprised.

"Grandma said she would drink Spot's blood, and after Spot dies..."

Tsunade didn't continue, but her meaning was clear. The old man didn't want this power, and he didn't want this longevity either.

Akabane opened his mouth, then asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"She said that the Uzumaki clan is known for its longevity, but this longevity comes at a bloody price, like this time..."

Tsunade relayed what Mito Uzumaki had said.

The gist of it is that she believes Devil Fruits are ominous; obtaining such power inevitably leads to the loss of something, perhaps an object, or something of great importance.

Those three words proved her words true.

Demon, fruit, disaster.

Akabane opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He felt a pang of regret and wished he could slap himself.

Why write these three words of all? But at the time, he was just trying to make the origin of the Devil Fruit more reliable by combining it with the geographical situation. He never expected that Mito Uzumaki would have such an idea.

"I'll give it a try, but don't get your hopes up too high."

Akabane hesitated for a moment, but decided to give it a try anyway. He took Tsunade with him to the Senju clan's territory using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Not long after, he saw Mito Uzumaki.

She remained in a state of advanced age, and it seemed that whether or not she ate the fruit had brought her any change.
