I'm drawing manga in Naruto

"Fortunately, we managed to salvage quite a bit, but I didn't get my Nine-Tails chakra and couldn't complete the Ten-Tails transformation, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Mito Uzumaki immediately exaggerated the seriousness of the matter.

"Ban and Black Zetsu are too cunning."

"They have now gathered the chakra of all eight tailed beasts. We must not allow the Nine-Tails' chakra to be obtained again, otherwise we may face an even more terrifying Uchiha Madara."

“That’s right, I suggest increasing the number of people defending this area.”

"..."

As a result, everyone once again launched a fierce attack on Madara and Black Zetsu.

Of course, the other village leaders in the coalition weren't fools either. Upon closer examination, there were some details to the matter, but everyone chose to remain silent.

Including Takigakure Village.

They didn't doubt Black Zetsu's actions, but they felt that Konoha's behavior was a bit strange, and upon closer examination, it seemed like they were taking advantage of the situation to increase their stakes.

As the Third Hokage A said, Madara had collected some of the chakra of the other tailed beasts, so the importance of the Nine-Tails is beyond doubt.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki happens to be from Konoha, meaning the Allied Forces' current situation is very similar to that in the manga. They must protect Konoha's Jinchuriki to prevent the enemy from obtaining them. With Madara's increased strength, it's even less likely that they will bypass Konoha and act on their own.

one stone two bird.

However, no one investigated this matter further.

Although there were some suspicious circumstances, at least the Tailed Beast had returned, and Konoha showed no intention of taking it, handing it over to Takigakure for disposal. Everything else could be selectively ignored.

If we delve deeper, it becomes less beautiful.

Who can argue with Madara and Black Zetsu if only Akabane and Mito Uzumaki are currently capable of fighting them?

If the villages were stronger, there would be no need to form an alliance and send the tailed beasts to the Land of Rivers, leaving us as vulnerable as we are now...

Forcing themselves to go it alone, Kirigakure is a prime example.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of strength. Takigakure stubbornly believed that no one could find their Jinchuriki, but in reality, Black Zetsu found him very easily.

This is the truth.

No one investigated the Seven-Tails matter further, and Konoha had no intention of revealing it, so the matter was dropped.

As for Akabane's side...

He was pondering how to handle these different types of chakra.

There are a total of seven tailed beasts in the Land of Rivers. In the last wave, we used the absorption ability of the Rinnegan to take a lot of chakra from each of them. However, it will be more difficult to get the chakra from the remaining two tailed beasts.

Both the One-Tailed Beast and the Six-Tailed Beast are in Madara's hands.

Perhaps we can wait for him to seal the chakra inside, and then summon the Gedo Mazo himself?

Fortunately, the Rinnegan was hidden.

Akabane secretly rejoiced. He estimated that Madara valued the Gedo Mazo more than Black Zetsu's life, and summoning the Gedo Mazo from him was tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth.

Successfully completing the plan would be incredibly satisfying; Madara would probably be trembling with rage. Even if it fails, there wouldn't be much loss; at least Madara's summoning of the Gedo Mazo would definitely consume a significant amount of chakra. In terms of physical strength and chakra reserves, how could Madara possibly defeat this young upstart?

Now all that's missing are Hashirama cells. Once we get the Hashirama cells, we can legitimately "evolve" the Rinnegan.

Meanwhile, the comics continued to be updated as usual.

Today's update brings us to the moment when Obito becomes the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki and enters Six Paths Mode. There are quite a few minor storylines during this time, but the majority of the content consists of battles and conflicts.

There's a story segment that Akabane is really looking forward to.

Madara kept reading, and he saw the momentary stunned expression on his face when "himself" was ruthlessly rejected by the resurrected "Hashirama Senju". He must have felt very satisfied when he actually summoned Hashirama Senju again.

But this is just a thought.

While Madara's current strength is not as great as it was after his resurrection by Rinne Rebirth in the manga, it is definitely stronger than when he was resurrected by Edo Tensei. Summoning Hashirama Senju wouldn't be of much help; instead, it would just be a way to deliver Sage Chakra.

If Madara were to obtain Sage Chakra, it would be like shooting himself in the foot, making things more difficult for him, so there's really no need for it.

The comic book's clones are handling things here, so he doesn't need to get involved much.

Akabane was pondering the question: when should the final offensive be launched?

With their current strength, dealing with Madara in his Rinnegan state is no problem at all. Continuing to drag it out is pointless and will only increase the possibility of failure.

So……

Once the Hashirama cells arrive and the Rinnegan is revealed, we can begin our attack immediately. These next few days will be perfect for updating and reaping a wave of points.

His mental strength, after being gradually increased, has reached 350 points.

This mental strength definitely surpasses that of Ban.

Akabane didn't plan to increase it any further. Once he reached a total of 350, he would start increasing his physique attribute. The combined contributions of the Ninja Alliance members brought in a considerable amount of points, at least 20,000 to 30,000 per day.

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Two days is enough time to raise forty or fifty thousand.

Although it's not a huge amount, it will at least improve my physique considerably. Even if I'm constantly entangled in a fight against Madara and unable to unleash truly powerful genjutsu, I can still win with physical techniques.

Although the possibility is extremely low.

That afternoon, Akabane explained his reasons to Mito Uzumaki. The process went smoothly; Mito Uzumaki had already guessed the cause and effect, so there was no need for Akabane to elaborate.

However, she had some reservations about Akabane's actions.

Takigakure has been on good terms with Konoha for generations, so it's somewhat unfair that a Jinchuriki died in this incident.

Akabane did not refute.

of course.

Mito Uzumaki wasn't the kind of person who couldn't distinguish right from wrong. She knew that the Hidden Takigakure village was a group of conservative and stubborn people who wouldn't listen to reason. Only by taking this approach could she get them and those smaller countries to join the Ninja Alliance.

After finishing his instructions here, he went to Danzo and told him about the transplantation of Hashirama cells.

Hashirama cells are dangerous, but they are also very powerful. Danzo had been considering whether to try a new transplantation method, but before he could make a decision, his promising disciple brought it up first...

It reminded him of the painful events of the past.

After hesitating for a long time, under Akabane's constant persuasion and analysis, he reluctantly agreed to Akabane's decision. However, he would forcibly interrupt the fusion if there was any unexpected event.

That afternoon, after completing the update, he began to rest and accumulate Sage Chakra.

I waited until the next morning.

Danzo sent someone to inform us that Hashirama's cells had arrived!

Akabane didn't intend to delay, nor did he let his teacher mention it to Mito Uzumaki. He was somewhat afraid of that legendary female ninja—her senses were too sharp, and she could observe any clue.

Although Mito Uzumaki himself turned a blind eye, since it involved the Rinnegan, he didn't want to take unnecessary risks. He wanted to conceal as much as possible, so...

Early in the morning, he went to the secret location that had been temporarily set up.

Orochimaru rushed over in the dead of night.

Hearing that Akabane was going to fuse with Hashirama's cells, he dared not delay and was unwilling to entrust the task to others, so he came from Konoha himself. Might Guy also came with him.

After a period of training, Matt Day has fully adapted to the seven-gate system.

His current strength is definitely not to be underestimated.

Orochimaru is very clever.

He understood perfectly well that Akabane was cautious by nature and would never make such a request without absolute certainty.

This integration will definitely be successful.

This is a golden opportunity to observe; how could we miss it?

Cell fusion is very simple because the vitality and invasiveness of the Hashirama cells are too strong. Normally, Akabane only needs to make an incision and then add pieces of Hashirama cell flesh to the wound, and it will automatically heal and spread.

But Akabane's body is that of a celestial being.

His physique is on the same level as Hashirama Senju's, so he is not afraid of Hashirama's cells at all. Instead, he has to worry about what to do if he cannot develop symptoms of spread or mutation.

That would definitely expose the deception.

Therefore, he had to actively suppress his body's regenerative abilities and minimize the regenerative and antagonistic effects of the immortal body on the wound area—as long as life was still at stake, doing this was not difficult.

A moment later, Akabane cut open the wound and then stuffed the Hashirama cells into it.

The wound healed quickly.

Chapter 367 Why are all the geniuses from Konoha!

"They've started absorbing chakra."

Orochimaru's expression was grave.

At the beginning, what happened to Akabane seemed no different from what happened to an ordinary person, but the next second, he saw Akabane activate the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Instantly, his eyes widened.

kaleidoscope?

Danzo seemed completely unsurprised, which meant that Shimura Danzo had known about this all along, but why didn't he know?

Is this kid worried that I'll use him for research?

Orochimaru felt a pang of sadness.

Am I that kind of person?

Okay, Orochimaru admits that he is indeed very interested in the topic of the Sharingan, especially in how Akabane awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan without losing any of his relatives or friends.

This is a very interesting topic, but it's obvious that Akabane would never agree to be a test subject, otherwise he wouldn't have kept it a secret from me until now.

Orochimaru could only sigh with regret, then focused intently on the changes before him.

After activating the Mangekyou Sharingan, the changes in Akabane's body were clearly suppressed, which is consistent with Orochimaru's research on Hashirama's cells—in fact, he had proposed a research topic for the Uchiha clan to cooperate with, but unfortunately no one agreed.

The Third Hokage disagreed because he didn't want the Uchiha clan to grow stronger.

On the one hand, the Uchiha clan had the same considerations as above, and on the other hand, they were worried about personnel casualties if the experiment failed. Taking all factors into account, it would be a miracle if Uchiha Genkai agreed.

However, the kaleidoscope alone cannot suppress Hashirama's cells.

Akabane's acting wasn't that exaggerated.

He pretended to be unable to suppress it, and green sprouts even grew on his arm. However, he quickly mobilized his chakra to further suppress it. After a dozen seconds, its anomaly finally "gradually subsided".

Danzo breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although it's unknown whether he can awaken the Rinnegan, at least it's been suppressed for now. Akabane won't be in mortal danger; on the contrary, he can obtain the power of Hashirama's cells.

First level passed.

Akabane began the second wave of his performance. This time, he didn't need to make any noise. He just needed to sit quietly for a while, mobilize the energy of his Sage Body and Sharingan, and fuse them to create the power of the Six Paths.

The process is very simple.

However, for Danzo and Orochimaru, this process was anything but simple. As bystanders, their hearts were practically in their throats.

If successful, Akabane would be considered the third greatest person in history.

A few seconds later, he completed the extraction of the power of the Six Paths, "stimulating" his eyes...

"Success!"

Danzo was overjoyed, even more excited than Akabane, and kept slapping his thigh.

Orochimaru was also very happy.

But whether Danzo had bad eyesight or what, he slapped his leg several times, and it stung terribly...

"Phew, I didn't expect it to actually work."

Akabane let out a breath, pretending to be under immense pressure.

"Congratulations!"

Orochimaru frowned slightly in pain, but he was genuinely happy for Akabane.

With the Rinnegan, his strength increased even further.

Orochimaru had no ambition for power.

His goal is to acquire more knowledge of ninjutsu, more secrets of ninjutsu, and to develop more ninjutsu and taijutsu. As for fighting, he avoids it if possible, as that's not the style of an intellectual.
