I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Admit defeat!

After a while, Akabane finished eating and drinking.

He couldn't just eat and drink for free for a couple of meals without giving anything in return. Besides, he had a pretty good relationship with the Akimichi clan. Once you became friends, the people in that clan would be incredibly loyal to you.

Therefore, he intends to share the secret of returning life with Akimichi Torifu.

No family is more suited to it than them.

It's not just about food; the most important thing is the ability to use one's mind to create functions like limbs and hair. The Akimichi clan's multiplying technique allows them to become giants, but the result of this giantification is that their bodies become less agile than those of ordinary people.

Learning how to return life can reduce the side effects of such gigantification to some extent.

but……

The art of returning life is not something everyone can learn; it has a significant hurdle to overcome. Akabane didn't expect them to be able to learn it all. He imparted the secrets, but whether they could succeed was up to them.

Akimichi Tokifu is very grateful.

Knowing that Akabane possessed such a divine skill, he indulged in a feast with Akabane without any worries. After eating for quite a while, he said with deep emotion, "Akabane, sometimes I really wonder if you really experienced what happened back then..."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

Akabane was choked by the spiciness, his throat was even burning and his mind was a little hazy, but the more he felt like this, the more enjoyable it was.

It's been so long since I've had spicy food!

Hot pot without spice is like a body without its soul; now it's complete.

"Many people didn't understand what happened to Kagami back then, including many of those who supported the master. They didn't understand why the master would take Kagami as a disciple, and even Danzo..."

Akimichi Tokiyuki was halfway through his sentence when he looked around warily.

Danzo has many informants, and this is the Allied Shinobi Forces camp, so there are many people and eyes around. If outsiders find out what's going on inside Konoha, it won't be a good thing for Konoha.

There was no one else around.

Although Danzo was his teacher, the teacher did have problems in some aspects, and Akabane would not defend him. Even with the presence of the Anbu, it didn't matter; after all, speech is not a crime.

As for whether the Dark Guard will listen...

Ah, the future of Konoha belongs to Kurama Akabane.

Akimichi Torifu glanced around again, then said in a low voice, "You mentioned in your manga the part where Danzo and the monkey fought for the Hokage position back then, so you should know some things from that time. Actually, the teacher never thought Danzo could do it in the first place."

"Of course, the teacher's methods and talents were all learned from the second generation master, whose ability to judge people is naturally no less than that of the second generation master."

Akabane nodded.

"Yes, the Third Hokage was a monkey. This was just the beginning, to make people accept the rule that the Hokage position was passed down from the Senju to other clans. Originally, the next generation should have been Kagami if Kagami had done a good job."

They kept the sound of the air intake very low, afraid of being overheard.

These words were certainly not spoken by Tobirama Senju himself, but Akimichi Torifu had followed Tobirama for many years. He appeared taciturn, but in reality, he observed everything secretly.

As for the standard of "doing well", it is probably related to the Uchiha clan.

If Kagami Uchiha can solve the Uchiha problem and make the villagers feel the changes in the clan and the village after Kagami takes control of the Uchiha, everyone will naturally recognize his talent.

The Security Department is a huge pit, but from another perspective, it's also a huge stage.

Once Uchiha Kagami becomes the Fourth Hokage, the "moderate faction" of the Uchiha clan will be completely won over and will no longer be able to rebel. As for the Fifth Hokage, that's a problem that Tobirama Senju couldn't even imagine.

The plan was perfect, but unfortunately, Uchiha Kagami's life was too fragile; he died in the First Shinobi World War.

With his passing, these things truly became mere "conjectures" of the wind, never to be realized.

Upon hearing this, Akabane couldn't help but sigh for his teacher.

Even if things had gone according to plan, the Fourth Hokage would still not have been involved with Danzo. He was destined to be a supporting character, a root of Konoha, and could not openly step into the limelight.

Tobirama Senju understood his disciples all too well.

"I'm not particularly smart, and I don't have the skills to be Hokage, but after being an observer for so many years, I've come to understand these things..."

"There are many things that even Danzo might not know, yet you can describe them so clearly in the manga, as if you had experienced them yourself."

Akimichi Torifu, full of admiration, patted Akabane on the shoulder, then raised the bowl in his hand—

There was no alcohol inside, but there was a small bowl of soup that looked quite frighteningly red.

Akabane didn't dare to drink it.

Drinking spicy hot pot broth is a devil's hobby; I can't stand it.

In fact, Danzo was not unaware of this.

He used to be obsessed, thinking that he really had a chance to become Hokage if he just stepped forward, but he only realized recently that he was too young.

I'm just not cut out to be Hokage.

Tobirama Senju had long ago figured out who was best suited for what.

He has no lingering resentment now.

Even if his disciple doesn't become Hokage, he'll still be one of the strongest people in the world.

This is only Akabane. Apart from him, Sakumo also has considerable strength and has performed equally well in battles. He also has the potential to become Hokage.

With two disciples like these, what more could one ask for?

Chiyo and Ebizo haven't done anything recently, while the other ninja villages are slowly accumulating strength. Everyone respects and fears Madara, but not to the point of being utterly terrified.

They may be strong, but there's always a way to defeat them.

of course.

This is what the allied forces think; Madara probably doesn't think so.

In Madara's eyes, everyone except Akabane and Mito Uzumaki was trash; he could wipe them out no matter how many came, and they weren't worth paying any attention to.

For example, the third generation of Ai.

The manga says he's comparable to the Eight-Tails, and his strength is immense...

But does Ban care?

With his strength, defeating the Eight-Tails would be quite easy for him. There's no need for him to be as exhausted as the Third Generation A in the manga, who even ended up injuring himself.

It sounds sophisticated, but it's actually not sophisticated at all.

Like me, Uchiha Madara.

Defeating and subduing the Nine-Tails, making it helpless and helping you fight Hashirama Senju—that's real class!

of course……

Madara's own achievements ultimately benefited Hashirama Senju, making him even more renowned. This was something Madara never expected—who could have imagined that even with the Nine-Tails added, he would still be easily defeated by Hashirama Senju using Wood Release?

The victor is king, the loser is villain. Madara was defeated by Hashirama Senju, and he had nothing to say about it.

It can only be said that I am not strong enough. It is a pity that now that I have the Rinnegan, there will be no more Hashirama Senju in the world. It is a great regret in my life.

Ban was filled with emotion and continued reading.

He didn't care much about the preceding content; it was all just scenes of battles and verbal sparring. Especially the so-called Allied Ninja Technique—no matter how many rabble there were, they were still a rabble.

Madara is still concerned about the Ten-Tails and Zetsu, but Akabane hasn't drawn any related content for a long time. Judging from the current plot, there's probably still a lot to draw. It might be quite a while before we see the secret of Zetsu and the Ten-Tails as we hope.

He sighed softly and looked back listlessly.

In this case, Obito is clearly not on Madara's side, and he will probably be "persuaded" by his words and betray him in the end.

However, if it were me, I would definitely have further measures to prevent Obito from betraying me.

Black Zetsu is only one aspect.

In addition...

In the manga, Akabane wrote that "Black Zetsu" is the embodiment of Madara's consciousness and a creation of Yin-Yang Release.

It seems to make sense from the perspective of the manga, but upon closer inspection, Madara felt that it was not quite right.

How could Black Zetsu possibly be an incarnation of his own Yin-Yang Release consciousness!

It had been secretly following me, and it had an extraordinary understanding of the Ten-Tails, making it clearly a strange and special being.

So, what does the painting of Kurama Akabane mean? Is it a warning to himself that this was Black Zetsu's original plan?

Ban frowned slightly.

He was able to discover Black Zetsu entirely because of an unexpected discovery, so this is a very plausible outcome.

But how did Kurama Akabane know that?

Is it possible that the "dream prophecy" of the Great Toad Sage really exists in this world...?

Perhaps that's why the kid possessed such strength and talent at such a young age.

Madara silently looked down and finally saw Orochimaru and Sasuke resurrecting as four Hokage.

Naruto...

Call out the Thousand Hand Brothers to fight "me" from the comics?

Without the Rinnegan, Madara might have been more afraid of Hashirama Senju, but with the Rinnegan, even Hashirama wouldn't be a match for him.

This isn't about making empty boasts or setting grandiose goals; it's about confidence based on thorough understanding.

Chapter 365 A Frenzy of Acting Skills—Black Zetsu, Take the Blame!

A soft sound.

Zetsu burst out of the ground, looked at Madara, stretched his body, and then said, "Lord Madara, we have discovered traces of the Impure World Reincarnation experiment."

"However, there was no process whatsoever; it was all wiped out."

Black Zetsu then added.

Knowing that Kurama Akabane and Uzumaki Mito had come to the front lines, he was no longer afraid and possessed White Zetsu to search for the Impure World Reincarnation in Konoha.

As expected, Konoha had almost no one left behind, with only the Third Hokage and a few others holding the fort to prevent a sneak attack. Although Black Zetsu possessed White Zetsu and thus had some fighting power, he could not possibly defeat the Third Hokage.

He only dared to search secretly.

He had been to the Third Hokage's office, Orochimaru's laboratory, and other places, but the two of them dared not approach Akabane's house or the Senju clan's territory.

The shadow is too deep!

Akabane possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, so if he leaves some kind of warning signal at home, he can fly back from the front lines the moment Black Zetsu invades.

Even Madara couldn't withstand Akabane's illusions, so Black Zetsu wouldn't dare joke around with himself.

Of course,

Telling these things to Madara would only make him look down on them, so they kept quiet and didn't say much.

"You don't dare to attack Hiruzen Sarutobi, but have you checked on Orochimaru?"

Ban frowned and asked.

"I've checked, and the seal is sealed by a sealing technique that cannot be broken."

As Black Zetsu spoke, White Zetsu hesitated slightly—they had not only investigated, but Orochimaru had also discovered their activities.

That kid wasn't very strong, but he had a lot of weird tricks up his sleeve. The lab was full of all sorts of traps. If it weren't for the fact that White Zetsu was strong and had the enhancement of Hashirama's cells to withstand a lot of damage, he probably wouldn't have been able to rest for a long time after this trip.

Ban realized there was more to it than met the eye.

Madara had long understood that Black Zetsu was of no help in the battle, and while White Zetsu was still quite strong, a research genius like Orochimaru would definitely be heavily protected. The best option for White Zetsu alone was to run away.

But at least Black Zetsu should be able to bring the person back.

He stared at Black Jue.

Feeling intimidated by his gaze, Black Zetsu had no choice but to answer, "That brat was slippery. After dodging an attack with a special substitution jutsu, he threw out a scroll and summoned the Third Hokage..."

"..."

Sure enough, this guy is cunning but utterly useless in combat.

Fortunately, that's how it is, otherwise I might have become Black Zetsu's victim long ago. Also... I have to thank the Whisper Fruit.

Ban thought to himself.

He showed no outward reaction, simply waving his hand to indicate that he knew, and then continued reading his comic book.
