I'm drawing manga in Naruto

"well."

Akabane knew perfectly well what the old man was up to, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

Qingyue was very well-behaved. She sat down with the comic book in her hands and stared at the picture quietly.

At six years old, she already recognizes the vast majority of characters.

Akabane stared at her for a few seconds, a slight feeling welling up inside him.

To be honest, although Uzumaki Seigetsu is young, her features and face are all excellent. In terms of loli form, she might be even cuter than Tsunade.

In terms of appearance, Tsunade is slightly better, but her superhuman strength and gambling skills are really not related to a loli.

Qingyue is different.

Light, flexible, and easy to move...

"Cough cough cough."

"What's wrong, Brother Akabane? Is your throat itchy? Let me get you some water."

"No need, no need, you can continue reading."

Akabane hurriedly denied it, while simultaneously banishing those dangerous thoughts from his mind.

Chapter 47 Make her take your surname

"Let me pour it for you. My dad said we should serve tea when guests come..."

Qingyue tiptoed and poured a glass of water from the table.

When he held it in his hand, he saw that there were a few unknown petals floating on it, and it smelled sweet and fragrant.

Is this little girl from the Uzumaki clan really that good at taking care of people?

Cute, considerate, polite, and caring—she's practically every otaku's ideal woman.

Oh no, I'm starting to feel my heart flutter!

"Brother Akabane, why does Naruto have blond hair in the drawing?"

The little girl seemed a bit strange.

In her mind, all members of the Uzumaki clan had beautiful red hair.

"Because his father was not a member of the Uzumaki clan, his hair was inherited from his father."

Akabane answered very patiently.

What is heredity?

"It means... certain traits of parents can be passed on to the next generation."

"Oh, then how come Naruto can't even master the Shadow Clone Technique? We Uzumaki clan members are all very talented, and these techniques are easy for us to master."

"..."

After asking him a few questions, Akabane realized what it felt like to be a father.

pain!

He sighed.

There are no perfect little girls in the world. No matter how cute and considerate they are, a child is still a child.

"Brother is so amazing, he knows so much."

As she watched and asked questions, the little girl grew increasingly enamored with Akabane.

"Well, I usually read a lot of books."

Akabane answered shamelessly.

The little girl doesn't know Akabane's true nature. If she were to switch places with Tsunade, she might immediately scoff and then mock him.

"By the way, where is your mother?"

The two elders were shamelessly inside, probably discussing the personnel going to Konoha. Akabane had a premonition that this little girl might be forced into the Kurama clan, so it was necessary to know about their family background beforehand.

"Like Naruto, my mother died when I was young."

The little girl answered without much sadness.

"Hmm... Little Qingyue, your brother has a lot of comics at home. If I asked you to come to my house to play, would you go?"

"really?"

The little girl's eyes lit up instantly, but then she glanced worriedly into the room.

"Qingyue, don't worry, they are all my friends. If you want to go, you can stay for a while."

At this moment, the Whirlpool Tree Sea emerged.

"Really? What about you, Dad?"

"The village needs me, how can I leave?"

Whirlpool Tree Sea stroked her hair, his face gentle and kind.

As the clan leader, he could provide a livelihood for his daughter, but he couldn't run away first, otherwise the entire Whirlpool Clan would collapse.

"Well... let me think about it some more."

"Think about it slowly, brother. I'll stay in the village for a while."

It's such a pity that the little girl has to die on the battlefield, but of course, we just clicked at first sight.

Imagine yourself painting, and a little girl next to you helps you mix the paints... wow, my brain is trembling!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed a few times, covering his mouth, and also secretly kicked Akabane.

Akabane quickly composed himself to avoid revealing his true feelings.

He felt a strange unease.

I was clearly just daydreaming, so how did the Third Hokage realize it?

"I'll have to ask about it later..."

Akabane glanced at the Whirlpool Tree Sea, thankfully his father hadn't noticed, otherwise he probably wouldn't have felt comfortable letting Kiyotsuki follow him.

Huh, why do I care so much?

He fell into deep thought—had he been tricked?

"Akaba, let's go out first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly.

"is teacher."

Following them outside, they found Hiruzen Sarutobi standing in the yard smoking.

Akabane asked the question that had been bothering him: "Teacher... how did you notice that I was daydreaming?"

"The way you daydream is just like Jiraiya."

Damn it?

Akabane's expression froze; this was the greatest insult imaginable!

"Leaving aside idle talk, what do you think about the Uzumaki Forest's decision to send some children to various clans in Konoha?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked a cigarette, his face devoid of any hint of jest.

Akabane also became serious, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It will benefit Konoha. If the Nine-Tails is released by someone with ulterior motives in the future, we can use the Uzumaki clan to seal it again."

When the tailed beast within a jinchūriki breaks free of its seal, it means he will face the end of his life.

"This is Danzo's way of thinking. What do you think?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to ask.

"Anyway, it has little to do with me. If the Daimyo blames me, the Hokage will take the fall. I can just sell my manga."

Akabane said lazily.

"Perhaps most people in the village share your idea, but there's a small minority..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhales smoke.

As the Hokage, he can see through most situations, so what he needs is not real advice, but someone to talk to, to help him peel back the layers and analyze the situation.

This small group of people might be from the Uchiha, Hyuga, or other clans.

The integration of any small faction will cause instability in the situation.

"As for the Uchiha clan, they'll be unhappy whether the Uzumaki clan joins Konoha or not. The Hyuga clan, with the Uchiha in their backs, won't dare say anything..."

Akabane mentioned Hyuga, and then said no more.

The current third generation has just ascended to the throne and is at the peak of their power. The voices of smaller families can be largely ignored, especially since they are just a few children, and the likelihood of them causing a public backlash is low.

"Hmm... After Qingyue goes to Konoha, if something really happens in the Land of Whirlpools, you should comfort her and, if possible, persuade her to change her surname..."

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

Akabane's expression changed.

When a woman gets married, she changes her surname to her husband's surname.

The meaning behind the three generations' words sounds rather strange.

"literal meaning."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "The Daimyo has been making a lot of moves lately. First, he transferred ninjas to protect him, and now it seems he wants to establish a Guardian Ninja. He still needs to do some of the pretense."

Guardian Ninja?

The future Guardian Ninja Twelve, huh?

Akabane thought to himself.

If that's the case, then it's no wonder that Konoha didn't do much during this period in the original story. Later on, only Kushina Uzumaki came, while many others fled and married ordinary people.

He pondered for a moment, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

"But I'm glad you changed your attitude."

The Third Hokage reached out to touch Akabane's hair, but was nimbly dodged.

"She was such a lovely girl, it's a pity she died in the war."

Akabane sighed.

The more this was the case, the more he understood how precious Konoha's peace was.

Especially for a time traveler to arrive in such an era, it's already considered very lucky.

“Very good. As a reward, I will teach you an illusion spell.”

He smiled.

In the Third Hokage's view, Akabane's actions stemmed entirely from his own sense of truth, goodness, and beauty, which was enough to prove that his thoughts were not aligned with Danzo's dark ideology.

Therefore, he decided to give Akabane a ninjutsu.

"Oh? What technique?"

Akabane glanced at him. Although the Third Generation Society had many illusion techniques, there were very few that were worth considering.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly, "It's a ninjutsu that my teacher taught me."

The third generation's teacher... was an inventor of forbidden techniques!

Akabane's eyes lit up; that guy's ninjutsu really wasn't all trash.

The Third Hokage then swiftly formed hand seals, drawing in chakra—

"Illusion Technique: Darkness Travel Technique!"
