I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Until Black Zetsu appeared...

Seeing that Madara hadn't noticed him, Black Zetsu spoke up, saying, "Madara, Konoha has joined forces with the other ninja villages."

"Oh? Where's the Jinchūriki?"

Ban put down his comic book and looked over instantly.

If the five great villages join forces with Konoha and send their village ninjas to the front lines, they can use surprise attacks to plunder the jinchūriki left behind in the village's forbidden areas.

"There's a Jinchūriki like Mito Uzumaki, so..."

Black Zetsu's voice became increasingly hesitant.

Mito Uzumaki's sealing technique was exquisite, sealing off all traces of the Jinchuriki's aura except for releasing her own Nine-Tails chakra aura to lure Black Zetsu.

But he dared not look.

If that brat Kurama Akabane is guarding him, he'll be electrocuted by the lightning imbued with natural energy, and who knows, he might even be sealed away by Uzumaki Mito...

He didn't dare get close, let alone take a look.

"Come on, let's read comics together."

Madara beckoned to him, and Black Zetsu glanced at him, then transformed into a shadow and darted over, landing three or four steps behind Madara.

Then, he stared intently at the comic book.

This sight almost made me furious.

In the manga, a brat from Kirigakure is actually beating up this Akatsuki Genbu, portraying him as a complete weakling. Am I, Black Zetsu, really that weak?

Moreover, the Black Zetsu inside, possessing Hashirama's cell-based White Zetsu, shouldn't be this weak.

He made excuses for himself.

"Hey, that brat Akabane, his character portrayal is spot on."

Madara continued scrolling down, while intently using the Whisper Fruit to probe Black Zetsu's emotional changes.

One page, two pages...

As he neared the bottom, he finally heard a violent and chaotic "heart palpitation."

Take a closer look.

White Zetsu transformed into the appearance of a Konoha ninja and infiltrated to carry out an assassination.

Is it drawn correctly?

Ban appeared outwardly unchanged and continued examining the items, but inwardly he was making his own speculations.

The manga arrived too quickly; he didn't have time to test the White Zetsu's abilities, but judging from the current situation, the White Zetsu's abilities depicted in the drawing are probably correct.

Black Zetsu's strong reaction clearly indicates that he already knew about White Zetsu's abilities and even understood everything concerning the Gedo Mazo, yet he deliberately concealed it.

In addition...

How did they learn about Kurama Akabane?

Ban fell into deep thought.

Black Zetsu didn't notice Madara's unusual behavior; his mind was entirely focused on Kurama Akabane—how did that kid know all along!

No one knows how Kurama Akabane knew so many secrets.

Therefore, after arriving in the Land of Rivers, the people from various ninja villages questioned Danzo about whether he had sent ANBU to investigate the secrets of their villages. To this, Danzo only answered with the secret of Baku.

They create dreams, feed on spiritual energy, and can use dreams to peek into secrets.

So everyone believed it.

Akabane was naturally unaware of this, but even if he had, he wouldn't have cared. There are plenty of ways to explain these things.

Putting aside everything else, there is a huge stack of information about the secret ninja brigades of each village, which is comprehensive and very detailed, including even some private matters of the village's high-ranking officials.

During this period, he practically read the information about the secret service as if it were a novel.

I must say, it's quite interesting.

Akabane's shadow clones were quite content; compared to his colleagues, his life was rather colorful.

The thought of his companions still writing furiously while he sat here leisurely reading gossip made him burst out laughing.

At least my life isn't just about painting.

Inside the leaf.

As usual, a group of people sat in the small tea room drinking juice and reading comics, and occasionally some generous people would order some wine, snacks and so on.

Looking at this side alone, one might think it's a peaceful and prosperous world, but little do they know that the world has already descended into chaos.

Akabane sat in the lounge, propping his head up and looking outside, looking as if he had seen through everything. The four clones beside him were drawing while looking angry, but dared not say anything.

The person in question doesn't see anything wrong with it. Isn't it normal for the boss to slack off a little?

Besides, I wasn't really slacking off.

In the short time he had just exchanged for 14 points of mental energy, bringing his mental energy value to 270 points—during this period, his mental energy naturally increased by 1 point.

The previous test was enough to prove that my illusion technique was effective against Madara.

However, Madara is too knowledgeable about genjutsu, and can easily break through even the genjutsu of the Kurama clan. Now that his mental strength has improved, if he opens the Rinnegan and can match Madara in terms of eye techniques, then the five senses genjutsu can truly take effect.

Illusion is his strongest weapon.

Releasing it from its limitations is the top priority right now, which is why Akabane is investing all his points into mental energy.

He gave it a try.

Even in the comic book store, with his current abilities, he can still cast genjutsu on the Third Hokage, who is far away in the Hokage Building.

The price, however, is...

The next second, three generations of people arrived at the door.

Although Akabane did it very discreetly, the Third Hokage was a ninjutsu expert. Even if he wasn't proficient in genjutsu, he was a master at breaking it.

In the instant he was struck by the spell, he realized he had been pulled into an illusion.

Akabane had no choice but to make a move.

Using Flying Thunder God Technique, he pushed open the door and went inside. He saw the Third Hokage sitting there with a pained expression, handling various matters. When he saw Akabane enter, he immediately became furious and said, "What are you doing, kid? You're so strong that you're throwing genjutsu at my head?"

"Ugh, let's try it out, let's try it out..."

Akabane explained awkwardly.

With Mito Uzumaki gone, the strongest person in Konoha is the Third Hokage. If he wants to experiment with genjutsu, of course he'll use the Third Hokage as his target.

"Also, what else do you know? Don't hold back. This information is very important to our war. You must tell us everything about White Zetsu's abilities this time."

What truly angered the Third Hokage wasn't the illusion technique, but the White Zetsu problem.

Last time, they shook out 100,000 white monsters.

What about this time?

White Zetsu has regained his transformation ability, and it's a flawless transformation technique that no one can detect.

Can't this important information be said all at once?

Akabane hesitated.

He certainly knew the true abilities and origins of White Zetsu, but that was of paramount importance...

He thought for a moment and then revealed part of the truth: "White Zetsu is a product of Infinite Tsukuyomi. Like spores, it can split on its own as long as there is enough chakra. As I said in the drawing, it has a strong ability to transform."

The third generation's eyes widened.

The product of Infinite Tsukuyomi is... White Zetsu?

So, people used Infinite Tsukuyomi in ancient times!

The Sage of Six Paths?

No, not likely.

If it were the Sage of Six Paths, how could ninjas have survived in this world? After all, according to the Great Toad Sage, even the moon was created by the Sage of Six Paths. How could that progenitor of ninjas not have thought of the Eye of the Moon Plan?

Therefore, it must be someone else.

Chapter 352 My Sharingan is about to awaken!

This news is explosive.

The third generation was in a state of shock and couldn't come to their senses for a long time.

If this is the case, the Gedo Mazo and Infinite Tsukuyomi may be related to a very powerful and terrifying figure, leading to a buried history.

Further speculation suggests that this might be Madara's true target.

The implications of thinking about the three generations are terrifying.

"My lord, my lord?"

Akabane reached out and waved his hand in front of the Third Hokage.

From the moment he spoke, the Third Generation's mind was in turmoil, and his eyes were glazed over. Could it be that he was frightened by those words?

"Hmm? Oh, it's nothing, I was just thinking about some things."

The third generation coughed lightly to cover up his lapse in composure.

Then, he said seriously, "This intelligence is very important. Is there anything else?"

"This... the fusion of White Zetsu and Hashirama's cells may give rise to new abilities, such as Wood Release, so we also need to be wary of this."

Akabane reminded him.

Upon hearing this, the third generation nodded slightly.

This is another crucial piece of intelligence.

He secretly thought.

Akabane hesitated for a moment, then, taking advantage of the old man's good mood, said something else: "By the way, Third Hokage, my spiritual energy has been increasing rapidly lately, and I suspect..."

"Ok?"

"I feel like I might be about to awaken my Sharingan."

Akabane said in a low voice.

???

The Third Hokage looked puzzled. Sharingan?

Is it possible to predict something like this in advance? The Uchiha clan's experience doesn't say it that way.

Why do you feel this way?

The third generation didn't say it too directly, otherwise he would have used "illusion" instead of "feeling".

"As you know, I have mastered Observation Haki, and my sensory abilities are much stronger than those of ordinary sensory ninjas, which is why I was able to sense Black Zetsu. I feel... a portion of my spiritual energy is beginning to change and is gathering in my eyes."

Akabane continued to explain.

The third generation took a deep breath, his eyes filled with undisguised shock.

Sharingan!

Although Fukasaku had previously mentioned that the Kurama clan had Indra's bloodline, the Kurama clan was clearly a "branch" clan, and they hadn't even manifested the Sharingan.

Now, Akabane is almost here.

This is no small matter.

If the Uchiha clan were wiped out, that would be one thing, but the Uchiha clan is still alive, then... things are in serious trouble.

The Third Generation's mind was filled with countless thoughts, and various countermeasures flashed through his mind, but he rejected them one by one. Finally, he stared at Akabane and said helplessly, "You should first talk to Yuan Hai about this matter. If it really doesn't work, I will step in to mediate."

He was afraid Yuan Hai would object.

This is understandable, after all, the Uchiha clan values ​​the Sharingan highly and has never allowed its bloodline to flow outside the clan throughout history. Now, suddenly an outsider has obtained the Sharingan...

Even if this outsider obtained the information through legitimate channels, their tribe would inevitably have some strange thoughts.
