I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Some people don't care about taboos.

"Forget it, the allied forces are still far from being formed, and the three Kage will probably have to stand by and watch for the time being, until Konoha is weakened to a certain extent..."

He thought about it for a moment and realized that he was thinking way too far ahead.

Konoha is currently an ally of them, but that will change once they "eliminate" Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu. The more Konoha casualties they suffer, the more influence they will have.

There are no permanent allies in the world.

Akabane stopped thinking about it. Apart from the fact that Mitokado Homura died and Kakashi was later chosen as Hokage, there was nothing else that had changed.

Unfortunately……

Kakashi hadn't even been Hokage for a second when the Fifth Hokage awoke.

Tsk.

I wonder what Sakumo would think if he saw this.

Akabane compiled the books and sent them to the arsenal, but this time he was careful.

In addition to the comic, he also sent a shadow clone over.

Because Yamano Izumi mentioned to him that a copy of Jiraiya's "Intimate Romance" had been inexplicably stolen.

If we're exchanging for "Naruto" and "One Piece," one less copy is one less copy, and with such a large quantity, no one would notice. But "Icha Icha Romance" is a bit different; the number and type of copies sent to each side in the first batch are fixed...

Thus, the problem was identified.

At first, Akabane didn't think much of it. If it was lost, it was lost. Maybe it was stolen. But then he thought that it wouldn't hurt to send his shadow clone to stake out the place. Who knows what he might find?

After all, aside from internal theft, besides Black Zetsu, no one else in the world has the ability to steal books out of sheer boredom.

These days even Danzo buys the official version, but this guy is so unreliable, he never goes through the proper channels...

Therefore, Akabane decided to only take a light nap tonight, and as soon as Black Zetsu reappears, he would use the Flying Thunder God Technique to support his clone in attacking.

If we can catch him directly, that would be like breaking one of Ban's legs.

The night is getting darker.

Inside the factory, a dark figure emerged from underground, quickly grabbed two comic books, and then disappeared back into the ground.

However, before he had gone far, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

It seems like……

Illusion?

He was startled and quickly began to break the illusion.

Black's absolute illusion was very strong, and he broke free from it in just a moment. However, he soon discovered that someone was standing behind him.

Saddle horse with red feathers.

Judging from the effect of this seal, it is probably a sealing technique, but Black Zetsu is confused as to when he was marked by the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Madara explained the Flying Thunder God Technique to him; that technique requires a hand seal.

Without a mark, instantaneous movement is impossible.

"Could it be that the mark was placed on me when I was trapped in the illusion?"

Black Zetsu was a little confused.

He genuinely hadn't noticed it. Firstly, he hadn't paid attention, and secondly, Akabane had hidden it very well, concealing his aura and power perfectly. But when did he get this Flying Thunder God mark on him?

Although he wasn't sweating, Black Zetsu felt a deep sense of fear, especially as Akabane stared at him coldly, emanating a chilling aura.

This threat... that one might "die"!

Water prison technique.

Black Zetsu desperately tried to burrow downwards, but the next second the water sphere rose into the air, and then a terrifying lightning power came from Akabane's hands—this lightning not only contained chakra, but also the element of natural energy.

What terrified him even more was that an incomparably powerful aura was rapidly approaching from not far away, and just by looking at that aura, he knew it was Uzumaki Mito.

"My mother still needs me to save her, how can I be sealed here... Run, I have to run!"

Black Zetsu endured the pain and directly dispersed his form, emerging from the water sphere and disappearing into the earth with lightning speed. Although some of his remains remained in the water prison spell, these were merely clones.

Akabane felt a little regretful.

He hesitated just now. If he used the Rinnegan and the power of the Six Paths, there might be a chance to keep Black Zetsu alive. But if that didn't work, then his trump card against Madara would undoubtedly be exposed.

At the same time, he sensed Mito Uzumaki's presence approaching, so he decided to take a gamble and see if he could delay her until she arrived, but...

Unfortunately, Black Zetsu made a clean break and ran away, leaving this small, dark lump inside Akabane's Water Prison Technique.

Before Mito Uzumaki could arrive, Akabane took out a sealing scroll and sealed the lump of black mud inside it.

This thing is a creation of Yin-Yang Escape. Who knows if it will evaporate or disappear after leaving the body? The sooner it is sealed, the more research value it will have.

Chapter 335 I went in, and got instantly killed. What's there to say?

"Ran?"

Mito Uzumaki arrived.

It's quite a distance from Konoha to here, so the fact that she arrived so quickly shows that she hadn't rested at all and had been using her senses to monitor everything around her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have known that a battle had taken place in Akabane.

"I originally intended to wait for you to arrive before sealing him, but... I lack an effective sealing technique."

Akabane sighed.

Dealing with Black Zetsu isn't something that can be solved with ordinary sealing techniques; only Mito Uzumaki's series of sealing techniques against Madara's clones would be effective.

"Indeed, you don't have the Vajra Chains after all."

It's a bit of a shame about Mito Uzumaki.

Black Zetsu is too mysterious, and it is so elusive that no one knows what it is. If you can catch it, you can cripple one of Madara's arms.

Madara is old after all and can't move around as freely as Black Zetsu.

Unfortunately……

"But there was a gain. He escaped very quickly, leaving behind a part of his body in the process. I was afraid that it was too special and would disappear, so I sealed it away."

Akabane grinned and waved the scroll in his hand.

Mito Uzumaki's eyes lit up.

Part of the body?

This is extremely valuable research material. After all, no one knows what Black Zetsu is yet. With this material, we might be able to find the mystery of Black Zetsu's body.

"Well done, but after this, he probably won't dare to come again next time."

Mito Uzumaki felt a little regretful.

However, she didn't blame Akabane. Having just heard the whole story, no one knew beforehand that Black Zetsu would do such a thing. Although Akabane had some guesses, he wasn't sure after all, and besides...

Mito Uzumaki is strong, but she is still somewhat lacking in concealing her presence.

Firstly, it's about the skill itself.

Secondly, it was influenced by the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The Nine-Tails' chakra is too conspicuous; no matter how well Black Zetsu conceals it, he can still detect it instantly.

Akabane is different.

He not only possesses the Rinnegan, but also the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which allows him to blend into nature to the greatest extent possible, making him undetectable at first glance.

That's why he didn't call himself Mito Uzumaki.

Subsequently, Mito Uzumaki modified the sealing scroll—the modification method was not complicated; he simply sealed it with a special container instead of the sealing scroll.

While a scroll can seal it, it cannot be viewed or studied after being sealed, unlike this special container.

However, probably only Mito Uzumaki could do that.

Apart from her, probably no one else in the entire Uzumaki clan has mastered this kind of sealing technique.

After doing all this, Akabane took her back to the Senju clan's territory in Konoha.

Tsunade looked nervous.

Grandma suddenly ran out at night. If he didn't know that Grandma was very powerful, he would have thought that the Nine-Tailed Fox had gone berserk.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Mito Uzumaki touched her hair.

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling completely at ease. However, when she saw Akabane... she glared at him fiercely. It must have been this guy who caused the trouble, which was why her grandmother rushed out in a panic without even saying hello.

She thought about it for a moment. It was getting late, and she would definitely ask what had happened later.

"It's getting late, I'll be going now. Let's discuss the details tomorrow."

Akabane yawned.

It's a miracle he's stayed awake all this time to catch Black Zetsu; he would have been fast asleep by now.

"rest early."

Tsunade waved her hand, indicating that he could leave.

The next second, Akabane vanished in an instant.

Mito Uzumaki didn't explain to Tsunade, and Tsunade didn't ask either. However, it wasn't a secret, and neither she nor Akabane intended to hide it from her.

It's just that it's late today.

Day two.

Most people had just finished breakfast when someone came looking for Akabane.

Undoubtedly, they are from the third generation.

Akabane knew that something must have happened last night, so the Third Hokage and Danzo immediately asked him to come over to discuss some things and, incidentally, to jointly study Black Zetsu.

No matter what, in the eyes of others, Akabane is an absolute "research genius," and Konoha's medical ninjutsu is now so powerful largely thanks to him.

However, Akabane couldn't figure out what Black Zetsu was all about for the time being.

All he knew was that Black Zetsu was a creation of Yin-Yang Release, somewhat similar to the origin of the Black Rod, but not quite the same, so he himself didn't know how to study that thing.

There are just some things that need to be explained.

For example, the course of last night's battle.

Everyone was very curious about how Akabane managed to force a slippery, muddy creature to sacrifice part of its body in order to survive and escape.

This is outrageous.

Akabane recounted the whole story, but he didn't mention that he used the Kaleidoscope's ability. Instead, he simply summarized it as "illusionary magic turning the unreal into the real."

So far, no one has reached his level in controlling the five senses, so he can easily fool and spout nonsense.

They believed it for three generations.

As mentioned above, no one has reached Akabane's current level of mastery over illusions that manipulate the five senses, so of course no one knows what its limits are.

The evolution of turning the virtual into the real does not seem surprising.

of course.

Another reason is that the Kurama clan are descendants of Indra, so it's not surprising that they developed in this direction.

For this reason, no one paid attention to the manga updates; everyone was focused on studying Black Zetsu's body. However, after studying it for a long time, they couldn't figure it out, only knowing that it was a very peculiar structure.

Finally, Mito Uzumaki casually mentioned going to the Uzumaki clan to participate in a festival, and the Third Hokage readily agreed, but Danzo encountered a small problem.

He felt that during such a turbulent time, Akabane and Mito Uzumaki, as forces that could threaten Madara, should not leave Konoha at this time—if they left, neither Konoha nor their own safety could be guaranteed.

From a certain perspective, that's not wrong either.

However, Madara's target is the Nine-Tails, and given his previous defeat in Konoha and Black Zetsu's recent setback, it's unlikely he'll attack Konoha again anytime soon.

Another one is...

Even if they attacked Konoha, Akabane could return immediately and, together with Mito Uzumaki, fully utilize the power of the Nine-Tails' chakra with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
