I'm drawing manga in Naruto

The three generations couldn't stop him. After so many years of cooperation, they were already familiar with each other's temperaments, and it was difficult to change these things with simple words.

He sat in the chair, his mind still replaying the scene of Akabane and Orochimaru taking a walk.

"Lord Hokage, Jiraiya... Jiraiya!"

Just then, a Chunin rushed in from outside the door.

"What's wrong with Jiraiya?"

The third generation frowned and asked.

"He...he climbed up the Fire Shadow Rock, it seems he's going to draw something next to it."

"What?! This idiot!"

Chapter 88 Jiraiya's Street Graffiti

"What? Jiraiya went to climb the Hokage Rock?"

Akabane was shocked when he heard the news.

Wasn't that kid badly beaten up? How come he's still climbing the Hokage Rock with boundless energy?

"Yes, Master."

Kurama Yunlang was panting. He had heard the news from the person who bought the comic book and rushed over immediately.

"I'll go check on it. You keep the shop running."

When he left the clan's territory and went out into the streets, almost everyone knew about Jiraiya.

A bunch of people rushed towards the Hokage Rock!

"What on earth did this idiot do?!"

Akabane is dumbfounded

This must have alarmed almost the entire village, right?

After crossing several streets, he looked up and saw the distant mountain rocks.

A small figure could be seen drawing on the mountain wall beside Fire Shadow Rock—judging from the marks, it was a portrait.

"This guy is doing street graffiti on Hokage Rock, he's got some nerve!"

Akabane muttered to himself.

No one has ever broken ink on the Hokage Rock before, and only the Crown Prince will dare to do so in the future.

In front of the Hokage Rock.

"Jiraiya, what are you doing? Get down here!"

The third generation roared in anger.

"Teacher, I want you to see..."

Jiraiya shouted from above, "My art, my progress, and me!"

"Jiraiya, you!"

The third generation was initially furious, but upon hearing these words, his expression froze instantly.

At this moment, Akabane had already reached the bottom of the Hokage Rock.

With his hearing, he was able to hear Jiraiya's voice—even if it was very faint, it was enough to make out the content.

Hu~hu~

He heard heavy breathing. Akabane turned his head and saw someone standing next to him, hunched over and panting.

"What's gotten into Jiraiya?!"

"Who knows? Maybe someone touched a weakness in his heart."

Akabane was unaware of this as well.

After an afternoon, Jiraiya suddenly climbed the Hokage Rock; something must have happened in between.

"Did someone provoke him?"

Tsunade was stunned.

What are your inner weaknesses?

Jiraiya has always been carefree and easygoing. Except for the time when Akabane made Haku a male character, he has never had a mental breakdown.

Even such a cheerful person has psychological weaknesses!

"The Third Hokage paid too little attention to Jiraiya; his gaze was all..."

Thinking of Orochimaru's information, Akabane swallowed the rest of his sentence.

Tsunade stared blankly for a few seconds before looking at the mountain wall.

"Yes."

She understood instantly.

Jiraiya's training, progress, and even his challenge to Orochimaru were all for the Third Hokage to see his improvement.

"What a fool."

Tsunade's words were sharp and unforgiving, but her expression softened.

"But if this continues, things will get complicated."

Akabane sighed.

At this moment, the portrait of Jiraiya on the mountain wall is beginning to take shape—it is himself.

From a purely artistic perspective, Jiraiya's work isn't great, but it's still much better than Naruto's doodles.

At least at a glance, everyone can recognize that it is him.

"Jiraiya, come down first. Although you didn't graffiti the Hokage Rock, drawing on the mountainside next to it is not allowed."

The third generation smoked a cigarette. He already understood the crux of the problem, but the most urgent task was to persuade this brat to calm down.

"Teacher, look at my drawing skills!"

Jiraiya felt very refreshed.

For the first time, he felt that the teacher was paying attention to him, instead of always focusing on Orochimaru.

"I am quite familiar with your drawing skills, please come down first."

The third generation sighed.

"really?"

Tsunade was slightly taken aback. Did her teacher know a lot about his drawing skills?

Akabane didn't answer, but his expression was a little strange.

In a sense, the third generation may not have lied, but the truth is somewhat complicated and not suitable to be said directly.

However, at the same time, he saw a shadow spreading down from above the Fire Shadow Rock.

Shadow Imitation!

"It seems that Jiraiya's drawing will never be finished."

Akabane smiled.

With his current single-mindedness, it would be strange if he could even perceive the shadow above.

"The Nara clan has made a move, and I suspect the Yamanaka clan is also involved."

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief. With both sides attacking at the same time, Jiraiya would definitely be able to come down safely.

But now we should consider another issue...

"I hope that after he comes down, the teacher will spare his life."

Tsunade sighed.

"Lord Sandai is feeling guilty right now, he will be fine."

Akabane turned and left.

Putting all of this together, he had already guessed some of the clues.

After much thought, the only one who could provoke Jiraiya is probably Orochimaru.

"You seem to have figured it out. Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Tsunade glanced at it and immediately caught up.

"I don't know either, it's just a guess."

As Akabane spoke, he turned and glanced back at the mountain wall behind him.

Jiraiya's drawing skills, however, improved rapidly.

"Even if it's just a guess, tell me about it. I'm really curious!"

Tsunade jumped in front of him.

"I suspect that Jiraiya went to fight Orochimaru, and Orochimaru unintentionally provoked Jiraiya."

Akabane shrugged.

"Perhaps it's true."

Tsunade listened to the answer and agreed with it.

"Orochimaru might want to help Jiraiya, but you probably know him better than I do."

Akabane smiled but didn't continue.

"He seems cold-hearted, and he probably isn't good at comforting or helping people."

Tsunade sighed.

Although it was just a guess, she felt that the possibility was extremely high.

On the other hand, Orochimaru probably didn't expect that Jiraiya would do something so outrageous to prove himself.

"Ahhh! How did I get down here?"

Not far away, Jiraiya's surprised shouts could be heard.

"You idiot, there's a limit to your nonsense. If you do something so outrageous again, see how I deal with you!"

The third generation angrily said, "Now, go and wipe your portrait clean."

"okay, I get it."

Jiraiya touched his head and sighed softly.

"Let's move on, there's nothing to see here!"

The ninjas began to disperse the crowd.

Jiraiya wanted to fetch water, but he had injured one hand and found it very difficult to do so.

"Let's go help."

Tsunade rolled up her sleeves to go and help, but Akabane held her back.

"Let's go, let the Third Generation Lord be alone with him."

"Um...that's true."

Tsunade realized what was happening and turned around to see the Third Hokage standing under the Hokage Rock, staring up at Jiraiya wiping away the ink he had drawn.

Akabane walked back, a slight sigh escaping his lips.

It's somewhat ironic that something one person desperately wants to get rid of is something another person desperately desires.

Fortunately, Jiraiya has already gotten what he wanted.

"By the way, Akabane, when exactly is the anime convention going to be?"

Tsunade caught up and asked.
