I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Ban frowned slightly, then opened the cover and began to read the contents.

Based on his understanding of Akabane, the fact that this person had been consistently updating meant he hadn't made any moves yet. But given the recent actions he'd taken on the border, this kid should have come to take a look under Danzo's orders...

He set up an ambush, waiting specifically for Akabane to come up.

But so far, Kurama Akabane has shown no sign of coming, and the plan seems to have failed.

The manga's plot continues the story of the two brothers fighting in the previous volume. Madara didn't care about that and planned to skim through it to see what would happen next. However, in the middle of it, he suddenly saw a word.

Izanami.

This technique corresponds to Izanagi, and Madara, as the most outstanding genius of the Uchiha clan, would naturally use this technique.

That brat Uchiha Genkai, how could he even tell outsiders about this stuff?

Boneless!

The Uchiha have lost the will to fight against Konoha. If things continue like this, they will eventually be swallowed up and destroyed by Konoha's policies.

Just like in the comics.

Back when he failed to become Kage, Madara had already foreseen this: Konoha would not accept the Uchiha, nor would it tolerate the Uchiha continuing to live in the village in this way.

There is no place for the Uchiha to live over there, but unfortunately, none of those spineless cowards realized this.

When asked about the part about Kabuto from Izanami, he wasn't interested in reading it; he just glanced at it and then quickly flipped through the pages.

However, Madara betrayed Konoha and killed countless people, but that doesn't mean he condoned this behavior.

At least……

If it were Tobirama Senju, he wouldn't have chosen to do that.

Tobirama Senju, like Danzo, did all sorts of "bad things" for the village, but he was on a higher level and wouldn't be as despicable as Danzo in threatening a weak woman and a child.

How is forcing children to go to war any different from the previous generation of fathers?

However, this is just a comic.

The current Danzo isn't that despicable yet. The Root Project was canceled due to Akabane's influence. On the contrary, Mitokado Homura has been eagerly trying to develop "Root." Madara wouldn't bring the manga's character design into reality.

But he still couldn't resist Izanami.

Even the specific principles have been explained clearly. Uchiha Genkai lost a family member first. Doesn't he have any sense of right and wrong about what he can and cannot say?

Madara got angry when he saw it, quickly flipped to the next page, skipped this part, and continued until the Impure World Reincarnation was undone.

ended?

No.

Madara chuckled coldly. The Impure World Reincarnation technique was powerful, but he knew it had a fatal flaw—

Under certain circumstances, the practitioner can break free from the restraints.

Every technique carries risks.

The Impure World Reincarnation is no exception. In the end, it is just a summoning contract plus some spells on a puppet. Madara himself was a master in this field, otherwise he would not have been able to summon and control the Nine-Tails.

To think that Kabuto could control "Uchiha Madara" using this method, he was still too young.

In the end, it's just parroting what others have said.

There is no technique in the world that comes without a price; the more powerful it is, the greater the cost.

Madara flipped through the pages, not paying much attention to the Orochimaru storyline, so he turned the pages quite quickly, until he stopped and glanced at the part about the Ten-Tails.

Kurama Akabane has done extensive research on himself.

Infinite Tsukuyomi does not require gathering all the chakra. As long as most of the tailed beasts are gathered, obtaining a portion of the remaining one or two is sufficient to meet the requirements for activating the technique.

He originally planned to use this method to trick the allied forces, but now that it has been exposed, it won't work.

"Ban, we..."

Black and White Zetsu emerged from the ground, about to speak, when an illusion enveloped him and Madara.

Both of them were trapped in an illusion.

Kurama Akabane?

Madara was about to break the illusion and leave when he realized something was wrong.

In front of them was a giant screen displaying a scene with a comic book-style art style—

A mountain.

A lotus lantern.

……

Very familiar.

Black Zetsu frowned slightly, sensing that things were not so simple.

This scene seems familiar, but I can't quite place it.

what exactly is it?

Before he could even recall, the screen had already provided the answer.

The Lotus Lantern – Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother.

Hold the grass!

While Black Zetsu was still in a daze, he remembered everything. This was the illusion that bastard had used when he was caught in Kurama Akabane's illusion last time.

At the time, only the opening scene was released, but now it's clear that the plan is to release the whole thing.

The issue is……

There's also Uchiha Madara next to him, this guy's here to mess with our mentality!

He was very flustered.

Madara's ability "saw" all of this, and Black Zetsu was flustered, with a hint of fear for himself in his emotions.

Because of this illusion?

"This kid activated his illusion so quickly. I'm too late. Let's break the illusion first..."

Black Zetsu tried to calm his tone.

"No, I'm a little interested in this story. I'll take a look first. Anyway, illusions can be broken at any time."

Madara didn't think the illusion could be fatal. If he could, he could even dispel it at any time. But the more Black Zetsu feared, the more he wanted to see what was going on next.

Black Zetsu was extremely anxious.

But he couldn't leave. Madara was very suspicious, and he knew Madara would sense something was wrong if he left. But if he stayed... it would be like a public execution.

He took a deep breath.

However, he soon realized that his mindset was not right.

Ban didn't understand the deeper meaning of the story, so why was he so afraid?

The more afraid you are, the more the freckles will feel something is wrong.

Having lived for so long, Black Zetsu quickly calmed down after adjusting his mindset.

However, he was unaware that his intense emotions had been completely analyzed by Madara. Although Madara did not know what the story referred to, he would think about it after reading it.

Without a doubt, Akabane's illusion was not for "entertainment," but rather released with a certain purpose.

However, after reading it from beginning to end, he didn't find any direct meaning.

The story is very "childlike".

At first, the Holy Mother of the Three Realms was imprisoned. Later, her son went through many hardships, wielding an axe to split open the mountain and rescue his mother from under Mount Hua.

What does this mean?

Ban squinted, staring at the screen in front of him, but the illusion soon wore off.

However, at the end, Akabane launched an attack.

A knife that appeared out of nowhere stabbed Madara in the shoulder.

Breaking free from the illusion, Madara glanced at his right shoulder. The wound there was only a small cut, about the size of a little finger, much smaller than the injury he had sustained in the illusion.

However, the illusion did indeed harm him.

This is incredible for Madara, who possesses the Rinnegan—Akaba's genjutsu skills are already superior to Madara's.

Of course, the difference between them is not significant.

Otherwise, the effect of this technique should be a piercing injury on the right shoulder, not a small cut the size of a little finger.

"What do you mean?"

Black Zetsu spoke first, expressing his "doubt".

"I don't know. Maybe it's a challenge, or maybe he just wants to test his illusion skills."

Ban feigned speculation.

He actually had many guesses in his mind. When Akabane released this clip, Black Zetsu's emotions were very chaotic at the beginning, and there was no doubt that Kurama Akabane knew some secrets about Black Zetsu.

This secret is deadly, yet it's hidden within this story.

story……

Is Black Zetsu going to split the mountain to save his mother?

The stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths makes no mention of Indra's mother. The most frequent mentions are only of the connection between the Uchiha and Senju clans, followed by the story of the Ten-Tails and the nine tailed beasts.

wrong!

Is Black Zetsu really Indra?

Ban was startled to find that he had been mentally manipulated by Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu has been constantly reinforcing the premise that he is the soul of Indra, while Madara is the reincarnation of Indra's chakra.

Previously, Madara's biggest worry was that he would obtain the Ten-Tails, and then Black Zetsu would use some kind of ability to steal his chakra and body, becoming the new "Madara".

If we follow Akabane's suggestion, Black Zetsu might not be Indra at all.

However, who is Black Zetsu's mother...?

Ten-tailed?

According to Black Zetsu himself, the Ten-Tails was transformed from the legendary Divine Tree, something not recorded by the Sage of Six Paths in the stone tablet, yet Black Zetsu knew it so clearly…

Perhaps he is not Indra, but some kind of creature related to the Ten-Tails.

For example, the relationship between the Three-Tails and Samehada.

Chapter 361 Long-Range Strike - Immortal Technique: Divine Punishment

"This kid has improved a lot. His illusion magic wasn't this strong last time."

Black Zetsu interrupted and changed the subject.

"Yes, he is improving every day. The Kurama clan does have a unique advantage in illusion magic as long as they devour Ido."

Madara appeared to be answering seriously, but he was actually thinking more about Black Zetsu and the Ten-Tails.

This thing is definitely problematic.

He spread his senses to check Chi Yu's location. That kid could cast illusions, so he should be around here.

Being taught a lesson by illusion and not retaliating is not Madara's style.

Not long after, he discovered Akabane's location.

Not far away.

"Humph."

Madara got up, preparing to capture Akabane, but then...

The next second, he was dragged into the illusion again.

The illusionary scene was grand, a vast expanse of yellow sand with ten thousand swords soaring in the air. The moment one entered the illusion, these ten thousand swords flew together, like a divine calamity sweeping away everything.
