I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Akabane didn't answer, but instead, unusually, picked up a piece of paper and started drawing himself.

The Will of Fire… He didn’t quite understand it, because he himself wasn’t a passionate person or someone with any particular belief.

However, Tsunade is now full of vigor and has an indescribable heroic spirit.

Orochimaru picked up his book again and remained silent. On the other side, Sakumo fell into deep thought.

Goals, pursuits?

What are your goals?

These things seem far away to them, who are only a few years old, but in the world of ninjas, age doesn't matter. If war comes, these children who have just graduated from school will all have to go to the battlefield.

Akabane was unaware that his casual remark had caused everyone to ponder so deeply, and he continued drawing absentmindedly.

Now that the third chapter is finished, he plans to rush to draw the fifth chapter in one go before the shop opens, and then compile it into a book.

He was inherently lazy, so much so that his own actions were less efficient than those of his clones.

However, now that more and more people have finished the competition and returned to the classroom, he didn't want his shadow clone to do the work in such a crowded environment.

"Hey, who's this masked, brooding pervert?"

After calming herself down, Tsunade went back to watch the manga livestream, only to spot the masked ninja leaning smugly against the railing.

"you guess."

Akabane glanced at Sakumo, controlling his facial muscles to avoid bursting into laughter.

Orochimaru curiously peeked over, glanced at it a few times, then looked at Sakumo Hatake after a moment of contemplation: "Could this be...?"

Sakumo Hatake was initially quite calm—even though he would borrow the drawing from Akabane after finishing it.

But Orochimaru's glance made him unable to restrain himself. He stood up and leaned closer to take a look, then coldly said, "It doesn't look like it."

"You're taking it personally even though it doesn't seem like you?"

Akabane chuckled, offering no further explanation.

Kakashi Hatake appeared in the third episode, but since no one was there before, they didn't see him. It wasn't until this episode that they noticed this new character.

"The Hatake clan possesses swords."

As he spoke, Sakumo raised the short sword in his hand.

"Hatake's swordsmanship is very strong, of course I won't forget it, but... this plot will be explained later."

Akabane continued painting, and to cater to the audience, he used a little more paint to create a colored portrait of Kakashi Hatake.

Before the painting was fully colored, Jiraiya jumped over the table and came over. After taking a few glances, he scratched his head anxiously and said, "This mask is so annoying. What does he look like?"

The other manga fans gathered around, equally curious about Akabane's answer, but...

"Underneath the mask, there is of course still a mask."

This answer instantly caused everyone to burst into laughter, their faces contorted with anger.

"But it could also be a big buck tooth, or a crooked mouth...who knows."

Akabane chuckled mischievously.

Shuo Mao was so angry that even his usually indifferent face showed emotion. He said angrily, "If he were my son, how could he have buck teeth and a crooked mouth!"

"The future holds infinite possibilities. Not only you, but also Shinnosuke's son, a foolish and naive child, appears in the second episode."

Tsunade smiled and continued to spread the flames of war, dragging Sarutobi Shinnosuke into the fray as well.

Shinnosuke, who had just returned, looked completely bewildered and asked, "I'm only 9 years old, where did I get a son?"

"It's just a comic book."

Orochimaru put down his book and smiled, a rare occurrence for him.

"What is Shinnosuke's son like?"

"What? You didn't bring the sketches?"

"Draw it right here and let us see!"

The classroom became extremely noisy, with a cacophony of insects buzzing around Akabane.

He finally finished painting Kakashi's portrait, and seeing everyone's enthusiasm, he said at the right moment, "Don't worry, everyone, I'll paint a portrait of Shinnosuke's son later. You can buy it at my shop when it opens..."

"Okay, here's how it works: buy a manga and get a free color illustration of Konohamaru. The first 10 people to receive a color illustration drawn by me personally."

"Damn, what kind of business have you done!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke felt like vomiting blood. Akabane had made up a son out of thin air, but the "father" had to pay money just to see his son.

What kind of logic is this!

"If I sell you the house, you have to give me something in return, or else let me take a look beforehand?"

Lu Ming also had an idea and spoke in a consultative tone.

Want to see it in advance?

Akabane's eyes lit up.

Membership system, early access, and even ads added later...

However, the comic book audience hasn't grown yet, so implementing memberships and early access rules now probably won't work.

"The wisdom of our predecessors!"

Akabane thought about it more and more and felt that he might be able to build a huge manga empire in the Naruto world.

"Alright, alright, everyone stop crowding around and let Akabane draw in peace."

Tsunade waved her hand to drive away the onlookers, restoring peace and quiet to Akabane.

She'd already seen all the previous episodes, and Akabane had promised to give her a copy later, so she didn't care about these weird moves.

The tough woman chased them away, and no one dared to linger.

Sakumo sat back down, glancing at Akabane from time to time with a strange look that made Akabane a little uneasy.

After staring at him for a while, he leaned closer and asked, "Chiyu, what name are you going to give him?"

Akabane touched his nose. Although the plot of this chapter was also very exciting, everyone's attention was on Kakashi Hatake.

Faced with Sakumo's question, he answered without much thought: "Hatake is fifty-fifty."

"50/50? What a terrible name!"

Upon hearing the name, Hatake Sakumo instantly bristled.

"Just kidding, I came up with a great name for him, Kakashi Hatake."

Sakumo was quite satisfied with the name Kakashi—after all, it was personally chosen by "himself from the future."

Chapter 12 The Resonance of Characters

Whether they were satisfied or not, everything in the comics certainly sparked these ninja friends' fantasies about the future.

Having set his goal, Akabane felt he should work a little harder.

Group assignments are approaching. If I lose my genius composure in front of the new teachers, my comics might not sell well. Celebrity influence works everywhere.

He secretly planned that episodes five and six would be Kakashi's test of Team 7, which would use many new ninjutsu. He hoped to finish episode six as soon as possible so he could exchange for these ninjutsu—especially the Naraku Sight Technique.

"In order to acquire more ninjutsu as soon as possible, I have no choice but to work overtime."

Akabane sighed inwardly. While the Naraku-sight technique could be learned from the Kurama clan, it was impossible to suddenly master it to the top level. Rather than constantly practicing ninjutsu techniques, he preferred to draw more comics.

However, we're only on episode four now, and who knows how long it will take to draw it all by myself. Fortunately, there aren't many classes after this, so I can use a clone to do it for me.

That's the good thing about being a ninja...

Before he could finish drawing a few pictures, the students outside gradually returned. When the last two students came back, Sarutobi Nenichi followed them back to the classroom.

"The comprehensive exams are all finished today. Except for Uchiha Ryo, I will grade the rest of you as appropriate. Students who pass all courses will be given ninja headbands."

"Everyone can take a good rest for the next few days."

Sarutobi Nenichi spoke calmly, but one could still detect a hint of melancholy. After all, he had taught for several years, and now the children were suddenly leaving, leaving him with a sense of reluctance.

Are you on holiday?

In this way, he could have his clone do the work while he could take his time drawing a few pictures. If no one else disturbed him, it would be a perfect vacation.

cool!

"Oh, right, I need to tell my parents that I'm going into seclusion and won't be receiving any visitors."

Akabane shudders at the thought of Tsunade's relentless push for updates.

He never paid any attention to people urging him to update, but Tsunade was different. She was reckless and strong, unmatched by anyone of her generation, and yet few of her elders dared to stop her.

Meeting her was truly the worst luck imaginable.

Akabane thought about it and felt that staying in the family was probably not safe, so he would have to find a safe and secluded place to stay.

"Okay, everyone can go home now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom erupted in chaos, with everyone using their own methods to rush out of the classroom.

Within seconds, the once crowded classroom became empty.

Sarutobi Nenichi looked somewhat dejected; he knew that most of these students would probably have little to do with him in the future.

"Hey, Akabane-kun, why aren't you leaving yet?"

The building was deserted, but when he looked up, he found that there was still a person sitting downstairs.

"Um... Teacher, please don't overthink it. I'm just physically weak and wanted to wait until most people had left before I left."

Akabane got up and slowly walked outside.

Sarutobi Nenichi's expression froze instantly.

"By the way, teacher, when you take on new students in the future, don't forget to help me promote my comics."

Akabane suddenly returned after walking out the door, gave some instructions, and then left through the doorway.

Sarutobi Nenichi stared blankly for a moment before letting out a sigh. He really shouldn't have had any illusions about him; even now, he couldn't resist promoting his manga. But this kid's manga is really good...

"Perhaps Iruka felt the same way I did back then!"

He sighed softly, feeling as if he had developed a strong connection with the characters in the comic.

Unfortunately, there isn't another Shuimu (a popular Taiwanese comedian) to give him more screen time in real life.

……

After leaving the school gate, Akabane stopped for a while at the school gate, which was unusual for him.

He was very fortunate that he had traveled to a relatively peaceful era, instead of having to go to the battlefield at the age of six or seven like Kakashi and the others.

Although they rose quickly, they also died quickly.

Akabane wasn't interested in titles like Jonin; he just wanted to improve his strength in a relatively easy and stable way so that he wouldn't lose his life in future battles.

"Akaba, over here."

After walking a few steps, Akabane suddenly heard his parents' voices.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Kurama Chiaki and Kurama Saki running over quickly after seeing him.

"You kid, I told you not to push yourself too hard, why did you still get into a fight with the Uchiha clan?"

Kurama Saki was the first to arrive, grabbing Akabane's shoulder and giving him a good scolding. As for his adoptive father, although he didn't say anything, he couldn't hide the worry on his face.

"It's nothing, just Uchiha Ryo..."

The match list came out a long time ago. It's been a full three hours since the first group started competing. It would be strange if Akabane couldn't get the data from the Kurama clan.

"However, I didn't expect you to even defeat Uchiha Rin, who was originally the most outstanding member of the Uchiha clan in this generation."

Kurama Chiaki looked proud and reached out to hug Akabane.

Akabane glanced at him, completely ignoring his actions, and instead asked, "Let's not talk about that. Father, how much savings do we have in our family?"

"Savings? As a special Jonin, I've accumulated some savings over the years. What do you want to do with them?"

Kurama Chiaki withdrew her hand without making a sound. After hearing Akabane's question, she looked puzzled. Saki, as his mother, looked the same way.
