I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so bad.

Chapter 76 No, we don't want to rest!

When talking about Sunagakure, Akabane thought of something else—among the caravans that Izumi Kou Yamano mentioned, one seemed to be heading towards the Land of Rivers.

The Land of Rivers and the Land of Wind are very close, so I can bring along some One Piece manga on this trip.

"good idea!"

Since we're going, we can't go empty-handed. The Sand Ninja have probably never seen the ocean before!

Akabane thought to himself.

"By the way, Akabane, is Team Six going?"

Zixiao suddenly asked.

They hadn't been at school for a while and didn't know much about what was happening in Class Six.

"I think... I guess."

Akabane himself wasn't sure, but the Third Hokage's words to Jiraiya were probably more than just simple encouragement.

"Whether they go or not, we're going anyway."

Zi Xiao clenched her fists and said with a determined look on her face.

"why?"

Akabane found it strange; Zixiao and Sunagakure shouldn't have any grudges, right?

"The Sand Village will be our enemy sooner or later. If we get information about them in advance, we won't be at a disadvantage when we meet on the battlefield."

Zi Xiao explained.

"Makes sense."

Sakumo nodded in strong agreement, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"All I can say is, as expected of Zixiao!"

Akabane sighed.

"why would you say so?"

Zi Xiao took out a comic book, ready to read it.

"It's nothing, I just think the teacher was very good at choosing students."

Akabane shrugged.

Zi Xiao's individual strengths aren't top-tier, but her overall abilities are quite impressive, coupled with that familiar way of thinking...

In a sense, he is very similar to Danzo.

Of course, Danzo was more ruthless and unscrupulous, which Zixiao could not match.

"Of course."

Zi Xiao nodded in agreement, her face full of admiration.

However, the teacher Akabane mentioned was not Danzo, but the Third Hokage—Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The Hokage handled the personnel arrangements from beginning to end.

"Huh, I didn't pay much attention before... What's with Kakashi's Sharingan?"

"The last page."

Shuo Mao said calmly.

Zi Xiao turned to the last page and saw a special illustration attached to the end of the fourth volume, containing all of Kakashi's information.

"What! A 12-year-old Jonin?"

He lost an eye during the mission, and his fallen comrade gave him his eye.

"This plot... I'm speechless."

Zi Xiao rested her chin on her hand, looking utterly exasperated as she put it away.

Sakumo tidied up the broken pieces of the chair, put them in a bag, then wiped his short sword and said calmly, "I shouldn't have gotten hurt."

In addition to swordsmanship, the Hatake clan also possesses assassination techniques and footwork skills.

For them, injuries to vital organs like the eyes are the worst thing they can do.

"You can never be sure what will happen on the battlefield."

Akabane closed his eyes, and after a moment shook his head. "Even for us, life and death are uncertain on the battlefield."

"That's true."

Zi Xiao put away the comic book, sighed, and said, "Now that you mention it, I'm going to start cultivating."

"So diligent?"

"Yes, I'm not a genius like you."

Zi Xiao shrugged, waved goodbye, and jumped out of the window.

makes sense……

Without the system, given Kurama's tragically weak physique, Akabane might not even be able to graduate.

"I replied too."

Sakumo stood up, glanced back at the bag containing the wooden chair fragments, paused for a moment, and said, "The money for the chair..."

"What's with the money?"

Akabane waved his hand, telling him not to worry about it, as he could afford a chair.

"it is good."

Shuo Mao didn't stand on ceremony with him and prepared to jump out the window with his short sword on his back.

"Hey, my house has a door."

Akabane pointed ahead, wondering why everyone was coming and going without using the main gate.

Sakumo Hatake paused for a moment, then nodded, opened the bedroom door, and prepared to leave through the front door.

"Hey, they've come out of the room."

The little girl looked up at the second floor and saw Sakumo coming out from there.

"what?"

Kurama Chiaki was somewhat surprised—Akaba's friend had actually come out from the main gate!

Sakumo was slightly taken aback. Why did everyone look so surprised? And who was this little girl?

"Oh, it's Sakumo!"

Upon recognizing the newcomer, Kurama Chiaki immediately understood.

"Uncle, Aunt, I have to take my leave now."

Shuo Mao bowed slightly, very politely.

"Go on, you're such a good boy."

Inside the kitchen, Kurama Saki poked his head out, looking delighted.

Shuo Mao bowed again before leaving.

"Akaba, your friend is really polite."

"As expected of a child from the Hatake family."

The parents were deeply moved, because this was Akabane's first friend to leave through the main gate.

Akabane rubbed his forehead. Although it was all the truth, it still sounded really heartbreaking!

"I'm going out."

He wanted to go out, not for cultivation.

There are still a few training sessions left from the deal with Danzo, and I need to make up for those sessions. Also, the final storyline in the Land of Waves needs to be completed before the Chunin Exams.

Busy!

Thinking about it carefully, I haven't had a moment's rest during this period; I've been even busier than when I was in the Land of Whirlpools.

Akabane sighed slightly.

He had been to the location of the root squad once before, and the second time he went there, he knew the way very well.

As soon as he entered the area, a figure appeared in front of him.

Despite being disguised as the rest of the team, dressed in black and wearing a mask, Akabane recognized him at a glance this time.

"Night Dance, is the team here today?"

"Hmm... I've been recognized again."

Moonlight Dance was somewhat unwilling, scratched her head in frustration, and then couldn't help but cough.

"I remember the team had training today!"

The current Root squad is not the future Root organization; most of its members are elite candidates transferred from the Dark Side.

"Yes."

Moonlight Night Dance nodded.

"Then I'll go in first."

Night Dance is not a formal member yet; she is just talented and was chosen by Danzo.

Therefore, he was not qualified to participate in the training.

Akabane nodded, walked past him, paused for a moment at the side, and then said, "If possible, don't participate in Root."

"Forehead……"

Moonlight Night Dance paused for a moment, then looked at Akabane in surprise.

He wanted to ask a question in return, but seeing Akabane's serious expression, he swallowed the rest of his words.

"gone."

Akabane walked past him and headed into the cave.

"Ah."

Night Dance nodded and vanished in an instant.

He knew what Akabane meant, but he didn't understand it—hadn't Akabane himself spoken with great enthusiasm that day?

Roots, aren't they good enough?

Ye Wu looked slightly confused, but her face showed no unusual expression.

The training sounds became clearer and clearer.

Upon arriving at the base, Akabane saw a group of people who were already exhausted, yet the training continued as rigorously as ever.

"Teacher, everyone is tired, this is a good opportunity for everyone to take a rest."

Akabane walked up to Danzo, who was in charge of training, and smiled slightly.

However, upon seeing him, the expressions of all the members of the root squad immediately changed.

rest?

Such terrifying illusions, what kind of rest is that!

"My lord, no...we're not tired yet!"

Someone cried out in terror.

"Yes...yes, we're not tired, we can train some more."

The others echoed this sentiment.
