Tokyo 1970: I'll draw Doraemon?

He even cloned Xiao Li's physical skills.

The results that Xiao Li had spent years achieving were accomplished by him in a very simple way.

That's the true value of genius.

However, even someone as skilled in physical combat as Rock Lee is no match for Gaara.

Sasuke's month-long secret training undoubtedly focused not only on taijutsu, but also on ninjutsu.

A thick ball of sand completely enveloped Gaara, creating a defense that was impenetrable by physical techniques.

Meanwhile, within the Sand Gang, he was developing an even more powerful ninjutsu.

Faced with this situation, Sasuke did not despair. He jumped backward, leaving a huge space for his sprint.

Then he squatted down against the wall of the venue, his right hand gripping his left wrist, and lightning began to flicker in his palm.

With a smug grin on his handsome face, the Sharingan waved his arm lightly, and the wall was destroyed, leaving dents as if snow had been shaving off.

Lightning Release activated his physical vitality, and accompanied by the sharp cries of a thousand birds, Sasuke charged forward. Speed ​​was power, and the chakra he gathered was a sharp spear. This power, which had traversed half of the examination hall, pierced through Gaara's strongest defense!

"Chidori!"

For the first time, Gaara bled.

"So handsome!"

Upon seeing this, elementary school student Matsumoto couldn't help but cheer.

This scene was so exciting to him that his blood was practically boiling.

"This is the power of the Uchiha!"

"So annoying..." Matsumoto muttered, turning over to avoid looking at his irritating younger brother.

He was still depressed about the end of Parasyte, but his younger brother kept chattering in his ear, oblivious to his distress.

"How annoying, this feeling of being able to immerse myself in comics is so enjoyable."

……

Upon seeing Sasuke with the power of Chidori, Naruto, who had just been worried about him, couldn't help but feel jealous.

Because he understood that Sasuke, who possessed the power of Chidori, was no match for him.

Just before the match, Naruto was still terrified of Gaara's strength and wanted Sasuke to withdraw from the match to save his life.

Naruto felt resentful at the growth of his rival, Sasuke.

Sasuke, who had just caught up with him, pulled him back a step.

This competitive spirit is the charm of shonen manga.

"What can Naruto do to defeat Sasuke?"

"It would be wonderful if the two members of Team 7 could defeat the strongest geniuses from two different ninja villages and then meet in the finals."

"By then, it will definitely be the climax of Naruto!"

Just thinking about this, even though he hadn't seen the specific content yet, made Komatsu's heart race with excitement. He wished he could travel back to the Chunin Exams finals.

In his view, Gaara had already lost.

……

Gaara let out a shrill scream. A monstrous tentacle-like thing emerged from the dark wound of the sand ball, but it only appeared briefly before quickly retracting.

The manga begins to get tense and anxious, as something far beyond people's imagination is brewing inside the sand sphere. Just a glimpse through his Sharingan makes Sasuke nervous and uneasy.

Just like when he first faced Orochimaru.

"Gudu."

Swallowing hard, Matsumoto was extremely curious about what would happen next.

Does Gaara have a second or third form?

How can Sasuke defeat him?

Can he fight Naruto at the pinnacle of genin?

These plot points, which countless readers had been eagerly anticipating, were ruined by a conspiracy.

The intruder used a genjutsu, and all the civilians and genin fainted.

The once bustling competition venue instantly fell silent.

It's obvious that something went wrong during the Chunin Exams, and it's about to end.

"Operation begins!"

The Sand Ninja team stood up.

……

"Huh?" Matsumoto was stunned when Naruto ended there.

The Hidden Sound Village and the Hidden Sand Village officially invaded Konoha, and the Hokage was kidnapped. The plot he had been looking forward to was completely ruined.

"The drawings are so good, and the battles are so exciting! Why not continue?"

Matsumoto couldn't help but fly into a rage.

"Give me the finished drawing! I don't want to see any adult intrigue! What on earth is Oikawa-sensei up to? He's disappointed me again!"

"Ugh."

Despite his young age, he let out a long sigh, feeling the pain of being powerless.

Matsumoto's emotional shift from joy to helplessness amused his brother.

"Hahahaha," he laughed smugly, "what goes around comes around, you can't be happy anymore."

Matsumoto-nii can finally express his pent-up emotions.

"That's just how comics are; you never know what the comic artist is thinking."

……

In Oikawa's studio.

"Huh?"

After watching Naruto, Akira Toriyama's mind went blank.

"Was it that exciting? The battle scenes."

If he hadn't remembered the joy of returning to his hometown, he wouldn't have been able to tell whether he was involved in this chapter of Naruto.

"In less than a year, Mr. Oikawa made up for his shortcomings in action storyboarding, and what about me? What have I been doing? I've only been complacent and satisfied with my current situation! Compared to Mr. Oikawa, I am still far behind in terms of basic skills, creative ability, and ambition!"

"No way!" He patted his cheeks to bring himself back to reality.

"Teacher!" Akira Toriyama suddenly shouted.

Eiko Ueda was startled and stumbled, spilling ink on the manuscript. She carefully wiped away the ink, then quickly took out correction fluid and began to fill in the white.

"What's wrong?" Fushimikawa asked.

"Even readers who have been following the story closely probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Sasuke's battle with Gaara and previous battle scenes, right?"

Although it was a question, Akira Toriyama's tone was firm.

"Thank you," Fushimikawa nodded, pleased with Toriyama Akira's approval.

After all, he is Akira Toriyama, the god of action storyboards.

Throughout the year, Fushimikawa not only continued the serialization of "Naruto," "Parasyte," and "Doraemon," but also used his spare time to constantly imitate and learn from Akira Toriyama's style and ideas.

Integrate and master these elements to create a style that better suits you.

Every clash between Sasuke and Gaara in the manga is the result of Oikawa's hard work.

"I did pretty well, right?" Fushimikawa tilted his head back, looking very happy.

This, however, struck Akira Toriyama as jarring.

"I can't keep drifting along like this, teacher!" Akira Toriyama slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "I'm going to start creating short comics!"

Fushimi sighed inwardly, another good laborer was about to leave him.

He looked at Katsuhiro Otomo and said to the two of them.

"Next March, the first annual 'Fuji Prize' from Weekly Shonen Future will begin. Strive to be selected for the 'Fuji Prize'—it's a great opportunity!"

Katsuhiro Otomo and Akira Toriyama nodded in unison, eagerly anticipating the "Fujisho" (a prestigious award for the Fujisho).

"Furthermore," Fushimikawa raised his hand, "the prize money for selection is 50 yen, for shortlisted entries it's 20 yen, and for honorable mentions it's 10 yen. Let's work hard for it!"

"Oh!"

"it is good."

He flipped his palm over, filled with anticipation for the two men's differing reactions.

Is a new era dawning?

……

Because of the two comics, the older brother and younger brother are in a love-hate relationship, and the key point is that the authors of the two comics are the same person.

“My younger brother was enjoying watching Naruto, which made me uncomfortable, so I beat him up.”

"Is the Chunin Exams over just like that? Isn't that a terrible ending? It's not even as good as the manga 'Parasyte' that my brother watched. At least 'Parasyte' had a smooth ending."

"I'll do anything Oikawa-sensei asks. Please, just let me finish the Chunin Exams so I can see Naruto and Sasuke fight."

The editors were both amused and exasperated by the readers' comments.

"Oikawa-sensei is really evil, making teenagers unhappy."

Having experienced Naruto's ranking drop to third place, the editors are much calmer about negative reader reviews.

It's clear that although these people verbally express their dissatisfaction, they can't live without "Naruto," since there aren't any competing products of the same caliber on the market yet.

What will happen to Naruto after this? Hopefully, it will break the readers' high expectations for the Chunin Exams.

"That's what I thought too, but... it's too difficult. This is the Chunin Exams, which have been built up over half a year! Oikawa-sensei didn't draw the climax that readers were expecting, but instead chose to go against the readers. Unless he can give readers an even bigger surprise, even if the content after Naruto is very interesting, readers will still resist."
