I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Zi Xiao and the others were speechless.

That's what they said, but they still couldn't calm down.

"Instead of wasting time, I'd rather read more comics... The recent plot is quite interesting, and Madara Uchiha has been resurrected in the comics."

Sakumo waved the comic book in his hand.

This is today's update, which has just been delivered to the Land of Rivers camp. Since the other villages have issued a ban, the ninjas in Konoha can take turns reading it without having to fight over it.

"resurrection?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wu immediately came over.

The plot is indeed very exciting.

Itachi breaks the Earth Explosion Star.

This generation of Shadows versus the previous generation of Shadows, each displaying their unique abilities.

And now—Uchiha Madara, resurrected through Edo Tensei.

"Isn't that Tobi Madara?"

Ye Wu was surprised, yet also somewhat enlightened.

Indeed, from all angles, "Afei" differs considerably from the legendary Madara, but he had been prejudiced beforehand and hadn't thought things through carefully.

Shinku, hearing this, curiously leaned over.

Zi Xiao was about to say that the comic wasn't very interesting, but when he saw the other two go over to look at it, he joined them.

This leads to...

As soon as Akabane appeared, the three of them were bent over, facing him as if they were picking up a bar of soap.

What do you mean?

The atmosphere is weird.

"Akaba, what brings you here?"

Shinku, with her strongest senses, was the first to react and straightened up.

swoosh~

The three of them stood up straight.

Although there's no such thing as "picking up the soap" in the ninja world, this posture is still quite awkward in front of others, especially since the three of them just moved in perfect unison...

"I'll go report first, you guys continue."

With a strange expression, Akabane used a teleportation technique to disappear from the tent.

The four of them looked at each other.

"You guys take a look first, I'll go check the situation."

Sakumo handed the comic to the other three, letting them read it themselves, and then walked out of the tent, looking thoughtfully in the direction Akabane had left.

"Is sending Akabane here at this time intended to have him find Madara's location, or is it to take the initiative?"

He secretly guessed

No one dared to ignore Madara's threat anymore. Sakumo knew that Akabane was strong, but if Akabane were to conduct reconnaissance alone, it would be extremely dangerous and likely very time-consuming.

I wish I could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique too...

Shuo Mao sighed softly.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is too difficult. He had asked for advice before, but he had not mastered it. Otherwise, Akabane would not have had to fight alone.

"However, apart from Dai who can open the Eight Gates, I should be the fastest in terms of speed. I can definitely take on the role of support."

Thinking of this, Sakumo immediately followed along and headed towards Danzo's camp.

……

Danzo dismissed the guards, leaving only Akabane alone.

The two remained silent, without any overt communication, and instead entered into an illusion to prevent their conversation from being overheard by others.

In the realm of fantasy.

Danzo and Akabane sat facing each other, their conversation revealing a deep understanding between them.

"I would like to ask you to investigate Madara's whereabouts. Currently, apart from Lady Mito, only you can encounter Madara and escape unscathed."

"No problem. My mental energy has recently surged, and I've also awakened my Sharingan. I want to go find Madara and see if my genjutsu can work on him."

Akabane did not refuse.

He had originally planned to practice with Madara, to test the current genjutsu effects of his Sharingan, and also to show Danzo his Sharingan...

kaleidoscope!

"Sharingan... Does the Kurama clan really have Indra's bloodline?"

Danzo was naturally very surprised.

He had always thought that Akabane and Fukasaku were talking nonsense, but it turned out to be true, and he woke up to the Kaleidoscope level.

"I accelerated the conversion of spiritual energy, and as a result, after opening my eyes, I directly reached the kaleidoscope level."

He didn't try to find too many reasons to argue with Danzo.

His spiritual energy is now stronger than that of Mito Uzumaki, so of course it cannot be considered in the usual way. Danzo wouldn't be foolish enough to compare him with the Uchiha clan.

Besides...

Danzo had some vague suspicions about certain things concerning Akabane.

really.

He didn't pursue the matter further, but instead asked directly, "What ability?"

"To materialize all illusions."

"Great!"

Danzo had some doubts about the authenticity of "opening the eye," but upon hearing about this ability, his doubts immediately disappeared—it was clearly an upgraded version of the Kurama clan's bloodline limit.

Given Akabane's mastery of illusion techniques, this ability is indeed the most suitable for him. Combined with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and Flying Thunder God Technique, he is almost invincible.

There's no need to worry about this trip.

Danzo was relieved.

Although Akabane concealed his ability to transform himself, Danzo did not suspect anything, his mind completely focused on how to arrange the next step of the plan.

With the Sharingan, Akabane's strength can no longer be judged by previous standards, and defeating Madara might not be a pipe dream.

Akabane then dispelled the illusion.

These are not things worth hiding, including investigating Madara's whereabouts. After all, he, who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, is the only one suitable to enter the heartland to investigate.

There's no need to discuss the specifics.

The existence of the Flying Thunder God Technique is enough to allow Akabane to escape the battlefield immediately—as long as he still has enough chakra.

but……

Having escaped the illusion, Akabane quickly discovered that Sakumo was outside.

no way.

Even without consciously using their senses, no one can completely hide from Akabane within a dozen steps, not even if Sakumo is a master of concealment techniques.

"Teacher, Akabane, I want to participate too."

Shuo Mao's eyes were firm.

"Shuomao".

Danzo frowned slightly, his tone somewhat stern.

This kid can't fly like Thor; he'll only make things worse if he goes.

“Teacher, I am the fastest, and one of Akabane’s coordinate kunai is on my side. If I am on the outskirts of the Land of Wind, I can reduce the chakra consumption when Akabane returns.”

Sakumo said, "Recently, I mastered Earth Release ninjutsu, and I can open the third gate of the Eight Gates. Even if I encounter Madara, I can delay and escape."

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Danzo was at a loss for how to dissuade him.

Sakumo's idea wasn't wrong, and it could indeed help Akabane to some extent. The only thing to worry about was his safety after encountering Madara, since the Rinnegan had the Universal Pull, and that kind of suction force wasn't something you could just escape.

If they are blocked by the spotted enemy, it could result in unnecessary sacrifices.

However, someone is indeed needed to provide support at the border...

Chapter 357 Library Card System: Taking Advantage of the System

"Teacher, let Sakumo operate on the border of the Land of Rivers. His abilities are more than enough to deal with White Zetsu."

Akabane spoke up for them.

Based on his understanding of Madara, it was unlikely that Madara would attack the border again after obtaining the Six-Tails—unless he really wanted to have a decisive battle with the Five Great Villages.

"Alright, that's settled then. Take a good rest today. Also... Akabane, if you want to draw, you can do it at the camp, and I'll send someone to deliver it to the factory for you."

Danzo seems to be referring to something specific.

"Thank you so much! By the way, could I promote the comics at the camp?"

Akabane will not refuse.

Before he came, the other ninja villages banned manga, but now that he's here, they can forget about banning it.

I'm definitely going to take advantage of this deal on Kurama Akabane!

"You decide what to do, but it can't affect the mission schedule."

Danzo gave his instructions.

"Thank you, teacher."

Akabane accepted the order and withdrew.

Stepping out of the tent, he began to think about how to market his comics.

These ninja villages are too stubborn; if they want to export their culture, they have to resort to unconventional means.

poster?

Since everyone here is a ninja and hasn't seen "Naruto," directly promoting it with posters probably won't work...

He glanced at Sakumo and noticed him.

Yes, Sakumo's Chidori!

Akabane immediately came up with a plan, patted Sakumo on the shoulder and smiled, saying, "Sakumo, let's practice Chidori later."

? ?

Sakumo was completely confused. He had already mastered Chidori to a high level and didn't plan to focus on that technique right now.

But he is a smart man.

He knew what Akabane was going to do as soon as he was led to the field.

This guy brought over a bunch of comics.

Then, he had Sakumo stand in front of him and briefly explained some of the tricks of Chidori, pretending to instruct Sakumo on how to learn Chidori.

The buzzing sound of the chirping birds quickly attracted a large crowd.

A bunch of ninjas who weren't on missions came over to watch.

"What are you doing?"

"Practicing ninjutsu?"

"Hey, you didn't know that, did you? This is Kakashi's signature ninjutsu, Chidori, from the manga, which was developed by Akabane and Sakumo..."

Many people from other villages hadn't read the manga and didn't know the meaning behind the lightning bolt in Sakumo's hand, but Konoha ninjas quickly came to explain.
