I'm drawing manga in Naruto

But it's too ugly!

Akabane doesn't consider himself a looks-obsessed person, but he still can't psychologically accept that he's been made to look so ugly.

He drew up to chapter 40 in one go, and immediately felt a bit tired.

I'm not actually sleepy, I just don't want to move.

"Lie down and rest for a while, then continue drawing later."

Akabane crossed his legs, thinking that if he had a phone or computer right now, playing a game would be perfect.

Unfortunately, let alone computers, no one can even master the game "Fantasy Realm".

So annoying.

"I wonder when Shinku will be able to learn it."

After lying down, although he had things on his mind, he fell asleep soon after.

It turns out that a love of sleep has nothing to do with physical strength.

However, not long after he closed his eyes, there was a loud knocking on the small door.

"Young Master Akabane, are you there?"

"Don't hide inside and keep quiet. I know you're inside. The clan needs you and wants you to go back quickly."

Anma Yunlang kept knocking, but he dared not barge in.

Akabane's morning grumpiness was notorious within the clan.

Finally, I got to take a nap...

Akabane sighed, got out of bed, opened the door, and glared fiercely at Kurama Unro.

"Couldn't you just say I wasn't here?"

"The clan chief personally sent someone over, so it must be something important."

Anma Yunlang lowered his head and said.

"What's so important about that!"

Akabane replied irritably, saying that he had just returned from Hyuga's place and wanted to discuss something with her.

Why don't they just handle these trivial troubles themselves?

I glanced outside.

Kurama Gowa's son stood at the door, making it clear that he wouldn't leave until Akabane appeared.

Hearing the noise, Kurama Shunji walked in.

"Akaba, you'd better come with me."

"Alright, alright."

Akabane had no choice but to go to the clan with him.

Upon arriving at the clan's residence, Anma Wuhe did not return to his own home but waited in the reception room at the entrance.

Seeing Akabane approach, he pointed to the seat, indicating that he should sit down.

Akabane greeted him with a bow before sitting down.

Kurama Gowa waved his hand, signaling his son and the others to leave. Soon, only he and Akabane remained.

He then cast an illusion spell, pulling Akabane into the illusion.

"You came to see me because of the situation of the Hyuga clan?"

Akabane asked first.

"The Hyuga clan wants to restore relations with us."

Anma Wuhe nodded.

"recover?"

"Yes, we used to have a good relationship with the Hyuga clan, until after the war, when our clan suffered heavy casualties, and the new generation lacked talent..."

Kurama Gowa sighed wistfully as he finished speaking.

His son, Shunji, is now an elite Chunin, considered one of the best among his generation in the clan, but he is far inferior to those of other clans.

"The Hyuga clan knows my potential, so they want to re-establish diplomatic relations."

Akabane understood the clan leader's meaning.

The Kurama clan is currently facing a generational gap and, despite normal development, the clan has never risen again.

The restoration of diplomatic relations between the Hyuga clan and him is clearly related to this.

“That’s right. They probably want to use us against the Uchiha. I called you over here to hear your opinion.”

Kurama Goto said.

"I don't think joining such a war is a good thing."

Akabane said solemnly.

“You think the same way as me, but some people in the tribe don’t think so.”

Chapter 144 Illusion = Brainwashing?

Even the smallest families have disagreements.

Then, Kurama Goku explained the whole story.

For most people in Kurama, the Hyuga clan is like a great tree, and relying on this great tree can make the Kurama clan stronger.

However, they forgot why Hyuga didn't come looking for them when they were weakened in previous years.

Only strength can convince people.

Unfortunately, many people cannot see through it.

"I just finished talking about others, and I never thought I would have to face this kind of thing myself."

Akabane couldn't help but laugh at himself.

It's not just the Uchiha who are having these headaches.

Anma Wuhe sighed, somewhat unable to make a decision; purging internal corruption was not something that could be done simply by saying a few words.

It was a brutal internal war.

"You must have called a meeting, right?"

Akabane asked.

"Yes, they are in the conference room at the back."

Anma Wuhe nodded.

Akabane made a hand seal, dispelling the illusion.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

On this point, he felt that the hypnotized and brain-dead Monka was right—that Lao Tzu was great, and had nothing to do with you.

A bunch of incompetent teammates giving bad advice will only result in a loss.

Akabane had been living a good life lately and didn't want these idiots to disrupt it.

“If we’re going to purge, I’ll do it. You’re the future of the family.”

Kurama Go clenched his fists and stood up to walk to the front.

"I hate trouble."

Akabane followed them out, all the way to the conference room.

Kurama Gowa opened the door and went in first, sitting down in the main seat, then pointed to an empty seat next to him.

Akabane walked over and sat down without any hesitation, waiting for the clan leader to speak first.

"Elders, let's continue our previous topic."

Kurama Go said calmly, "We were just talking about the Hyuga clan wanting to join forces with us. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

"Clan leader, we should join forces with the Hyuga clan."

“They are a powerful clan. We’ve allied with them before, so it’s perfect for us to join forces now.”

"I agree to join forces!"

Many elders immediately spoke up, but some sensed something was wrong and kept quiet without offering their support.

Elder Zhenyi breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that the family crisis had come to an end.

"Those who agree, please stand up."

Kurama Go said calmly.

A bunch of people stood up with a clatter, but some of them looked a bit off after standing up, and after hesitating for a moment, they sat back down.

"I hereby declare that all those who just stood up are removed from their positions as elders."

Kurama Goto said.

"what!"

"Gowa, you're too stubborn. Cooperating with Hyuga will only benefit us."

"The clan leader suddenly disagreed because of something Akabane said!"

The elders were angry and panicked, never expecting the outcome to be like this.

Everyone turned their attention to Akabane. Kurama Itsuki had been very hesitant just moments before, but upon returning, he became so resolute.

Only one thing happened during that time—he met with Akabane.

"Elders, do you believe that cooperating with the Hyuga clan would be beneficial?"

Akabane smiled slightly.

“We can profit from the conflict between the Hyuga and Uchiha clans; cooperating with the Hyuga would only increase our price.”

An elder said.

The saying goes, "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits." That's exactly their idea.

“The Hyuga clan is cooperating with us because we have a bloodline limit, and the elders also have the bloodline of Kurama. Why don’t you separate yourselves and cooperate with the Hyuga clan yourselves? It makes no difference anyway.”

Akabane shrugged, not caring at all.

These people are old; they have no ambition to compete and only know how to scheme in their own rooms. They are stubborn, corrupt, and greedy.

They were taken aback, then objected in unison, saying, "How can there be no difference..."

"The difference is that you are already useless, while we are useful and powerful. Moreover, your choices are foolish and wrong."

Akabane said coldly, "If you can't even beat us, what makes you think you can play the double agent game in front of the Hyuga and Uchiha?"

Traitor?

They didn't understand the word, but the word "waste" clearly conveyed their meaning.

A group of elders were so angry they wanted to hit someone.

"Enough! Didn't anyone hear what I just said?"

"It's all right," said Anma Wu in a stern voice.

"The system of elders was established by our ancestors!"

"Wuhe, what are you doing?"

"Elder, please say something! If this continues, the Anma clan is doomed!"

At this moment, Kurama Maki stood up. He was the oldest and most prestigious, and his words carried the most weight.

Akabane frowned slightly.
