I'm drawing manga in Naruto

The technique of concealing oneself in the mist?

"Mist ninja? How could there be mist ninja in this place!"

Jinsha was horrified and ran away.

however……

The next second, he felt several sword shadows appear.

Knife?

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!

The moment the thought crossed his mind, a massive decapitation blade flew past his neck.

in reality……

As soon as the mist rose, Orochimaru saw blood shooting into the sky.

"Let's go."

Akabane's voice came from behind him.

Flash sale?

Orochimaru was slightly taken aback, somewhat incredulous.

This guy can control two puppets at the same time, so it's not surprising that he became a special Jonin.

But is what's happening before my eyes an illusion...?

This kind of destructive illusion is simply unscientific!

"His mental strength is weak, and he's easier to deal with than a Chunin."

Akabane explained.

“If you kill him, you can take over this territory and make it a base.”

Orochimaru licked his lips and said.

"If you're interested, you can do it for me. If not, I'll split up and come back to clean it up."

No, I'm interested.

Orochimaru immediately agreed. On the way here, countless thoughts had crossed his mind.

Now is the perfect time to achieve one of them.

"Then the condition is that you help me conceal the Mist Concealment Technique."

Akabane smiled lightly.

"Of course... By the way, do you want to learn my ninjutsu?"

Orochimaru smiled kindly—though his transformed appearance was indeed somewhat terrifying.

"Software modification? Forget about it!"

Akabane immediately shook his head and refused.

You're Orochimaru, the man who's destined to become a snake, but I still want to be human...

"Unfortunately, I thought Akabane-kun would be interested."

Orochimaru sighed softly, lamenting that he could not share his research findings with others.

In his view, for Akabane to obtain this ability, the release of illusions would be even more covert and terrifying.

However, Akabane was genuinely uninterested.

He doesn't need to be self-sufficient, so why cultivate such a soft body?

As for casting illusions...

Once I've acquired all the Vortex Clan physiques, I can just use Shadow Clones to replace them.

Chakra is abundant, so capricious!

"By the way, just leave this to the shadow clones, so as not to arouse suspicion later."

He hadn't dared to create two clones before because he was afraid the battle would be too difficult, and he also didn't want to affect Orochimaru.

Now that the gold dust problem is being solved, there are naturally no such concerns.

"no problem."

Orochimaru nodded and formed hand seals to create shadow clones.

He didn't have as much chakra as Akabane, but while the shadow clones were active, it was more than enough to deal with the situation here.

He had a lot of experience dealing with these rogue ninjas.

If we add some benefits to the deterrent, these people will not dare to act recklessly. In terms of deterrence, Jinsha's death is already shocking enough; what's lacking is the benefit.

Chapter 109 Nobody Buys It? Then It's Free

After finding an opportunity to replace the clone, memories of this period resurfaced in my mind.

The caravan leader was named Yanagawa Teru, and he traveled to the land of rivers to sell some basic "iron tools".

"Young Master Akabane, it seems our cooperation has to be terminated."

Liu Chuanhui was at a loss.

They had never had any problems with their trade because of the protection of Bajing. Who would have thought that Bajing would be destroyed by a new enemy?

Before understanding the nature of the new local tyrant, all trade is difficult to conduct.

"Golden Sand? Don't worry, our clan's ninjas will handle him."

Akabane said calmly, "The most important thing right now is, do you think the manga can sell here?"

Liu Chuanhui did not think that violent solutions were a good thing, but if negotiations failed, this was the only option.

After Akabane finished asking his question, he pondered for a moment and then shook his head, saying, "To be honest, we are not optimistic. The land of rivers is too chaotic, and it will be difficult for your kind of entertainment products to sell."

Professional businesspeople are naturally more authoritative in these areas.

Akabane did not deny it, but continued to ask other questions: "What about the Land of Wind?"

"the same."

"That's what the person who was going through the merchandise and keeping accounts said."

"The Wind Kingdom has great ambitions. They use all their money to research and purchase weapons of war. How could they possibly buy something like this!"

Yanagawa Teru continued to shake his head.

If it weren't for Yamano Izumi's influence, he would never have agreed to a trial sale.

“Akaba, they’re right. It’s too difficult for the Land of Wind to sell this kind of thing.”

Even the people of the saddle horse tribe didn't think highly of it.

They also engage in business, and although it is only within the Land of Fire, they are also somewhat knowledgeable about foreign business opportunities.

"Hmm, what if we don't sell it?"

Akabane thought about it. Anyway, he was just doing it for points. It would be best if he could make money, but if he couldn't, he would lose money but still get publicity.

"Not selling?"

Not only Yanagawa Teru, but even Akabane's clansmen couldn't understand it.

Not selling... What's the point of going through all that trouble to open up trade routes?

"Yes, I just saw some taverns around here. What if we partnered with the taverns and regularly gave away comics for free?"

Akabane smiled and said, "Of course, I'll pay!"

"Why do this?"

Liu Chuanhui was dumbfounded, completely unable to understand the significance of this.

Not making money?

Are we going to spend money to appease these traitorous villains?

"Let them see some for free, and then sell them for a fee later."

Akabane smiled slightly and said, "Although some people will circulate it among themselves or print it illegally, they can still make some money."

"Your idea..."

Liu Chuanhui paused for a moment, then thought about it carefully and realized that this was actually not impossible.

However, the profit margin will still not be very high.

"Why, can't it?"

"Uh, no, it's just that the profit margin might still not be very high, so you should be prepared."

"That's what Yanagawa Teru said."

"It's okay. If you want to develop a habit of reading comics, you always have to pay a price."

Akabane didn't take it to heart.

Offering services for free initially is a way to generate revenue more efficiently later.

of course……

In fact, Akabane had even more ideas, such as including promotional advertisements in the manga.

However, since I don't have any industries worth promoting, I'll leave it at that for now.

"In that case, are we officially establishing a partnership?"

Akabane said.

"Yes, I will bring you comics in the future, but you will need to negotiate with the tavern yourself."

"That's what Yanagawa Teru said."

"Don't worry, we'll take care of that."

"This is what Anma Mountain Source said from the side."

He was the leader of the caravan that accompanied the Kurama clan, and also a special Jonin.

“In that case, Uncle Shanyuan, you leave a group of people here, and the rest of you come with me into the Land of Wind.”

Akabane said.

"Ok."

Shan Yuan nodded, and then began to issue orders.

As Akabane walked out of Yanagawa Teru's shop, he saw a lot of people gathered around the stall looking at comics.

"Business seems to be very bad."

Orochimaru smiled slightly; he had been observing from the doorway since the very beginning.

There were many people coming and going, and quite a few people were looking at the comics, but most of them were just looking and hardly anyone actually paid to buy them—at least not one had started from where he was standing.

"It's okay, we'll lose money to gain publicity."

Akabane didn't take it to heart. There were quite a few ninjas in this town. Although the strongest were only at the level of Special Jonin, they could still contribute a lot of points.

As long as you have points, money doesn't matter.

"How about it, are we ready to go?"

Orochimaru glanced back. They had already spent a lot of time, and if it got any later, they probably wouldn't be able to reach the towns inside the Land of Wind before evening.

"We'll have to wait a little longer."

Akabane sat down, not in a hurry to leave. "If it really comes to it, we can stay here for the night, anyway..."

"Anyway, you have a lot of influence, hmph hmph hmph..."

Orochimaru chuckled in a low voice. He had cooperated with Danzo, thanks to his knowledge of the information on many clan leaders in the village.

Kazami Hatake is known for his meticulousness in completing missions. Not only did he let everyone rest more, but he also agreed to let Akabane leave the team. It was clear that he was treating Akabane exceptionally well.
