I'm drawing manga in Naruto

To be on the same team as a genius, you must have the ability to keep up with them.

He knew he didn't have that ability.

"There's nothing to envy. Do you want to keep walking?"

"Sit down for a bit, I'll check the updates."

Inuzuka Ishi chuckled and took out four hundred ryo and placed it on the table.

They had a good relationship and often treated each other to meals; a hundred or two hundred taels of silver was not much at all.

So Sakumo, carrying the Wolf Fang, found a place to sit down.

He took the comic book and said with a smile, "The author is still here. If we see some plot details later, we might be able to get him to give us some hints."

"No, I won't give away any spoilers, so give up."

Akabane was resolute.

As a comic artist, how can I give away spoilers!

Shuo Mao smiled slightly and turned to the first page to read.

The two dogs stood on their shoulders in unison, looking down at the comic book, whether they actually understood it or were simply attracted by the turning pages, it was hard to tell.

"Oh, so it was just an exam."

Inuzuka Ishi flipped through a few pages, then sighed in disappointment.

"What do you think you did?"

"..."

Inuzuka Ishi was speechless and did not refute, continuing to read on his own.

Then, his gaze was drawn to a girl—

"Does Hinata like Kiba? People who love dogs are always quite charming."

No, don't overthink it.

Before Akabane could speak, Sakumo pointed to the painting on the next page.

"An introverted and shy girl."

Iwamaru let out a few strange cries, as if mocking him, and Inuzuka Ishi immediately pulled it off his shoulder.

Shuo Mao ignored him and focused on reading.

Not long after, I finished watching episode 39.

He frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and then turned back to the previous page.

Akabane glanced at it.

Sakumo flipped back to the page where Kabuto appeared and fiddled with his ninja cards.

He read it carefully again before continuing to the second chapter of this volume.

Kabuto also has a scene at the beginning of episode 40.

Sakumo read very slowly; in fact, he only finished reading Kabuto's scene after Inuzuka Ishi had finished reading the second volume.

However, after Kabuto's scene ended, his speed increased again, while Inuzuka Ishi's page-turning speed slowed down considerably.

“Sakumo had experienced the Chunin Exams, so he wasn’t interested in the plot of the exams; he was more interested in Kabuto.”

Akabane observes in secret.

This is only at the Genin and Chunin level; it's obviously even less interesting for Jonin.

Fortunately, the entertainment industry in this world is not very developed...

I finished reading the whole book very quickly.

"Seeing Naruto taking the exam, I felt like I was seeing myself."

Inuzuka Ishi sighed deeply.

Although the last question seems dramatic, the probability of encountering such a question in the actual exam is almost zero.

"Real exams are not that simple."

Sakumo flipped the comic back to the beginning and reviewed Kabuto's storyline again.

What happened to this part of the plot?

Inuzuka Ishi was very curious; this was the second time he had turned back.

"This guy might be a spy."

Shuo Mao touched his chin, stared at it three times, and repeatedly confirmed that there was a problem.

No way!

Inuzuka Ishi was surprised and flipped back to look at it a few times.

I don't see the problem...

He asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"The intelligence gathering is quite comprehensive, even including newly emerging intelligence."

"Is that why?"

Inuzuka Ishi was puzzled. He thought it was normal, since seven years had passed and they could only gather more information to ensure they knew their enemy and themselves.

Sakumo shook his head and pointed to the image of him using the Ninja Card: "If he really came here to pass the exam, he shouldn't have revealed the Ninja Card. Nobody likes their secrets to be exposed. The Ninja Card will bring him danger in the subsequent exams."

"It seems to make sense..."

Even Kurama Yunlang, an ordinary person, couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Sakumo flipped to the second chapter: "Based on the assumption that he is a spy, the three ninjas who attacked him later are very suspicious."

"Hmm...yeah!"

Inuzuka Ishi pondered for a long time before finally nodding.

Actually, he didn't quite understand, but to avoid appearing too stupid, he could only pretend to understand.

"Are they in cahoots?"

Kurama Unro was very honest and would speak up if he had any questions.

"It's highly likely, and even if it isn't, it's certain that this pocket is suspicious."

Shuo Mao said calmly.

Pa~pa~

Akabane kept clapping. Judging from this content alone, he could tell that there were problems with the character of Kabuto. It was truly as expected of Sakumo Hatake.

"It seems I guessed it right."

Sakumo closed the book, thought about it carefully, and then said, "I feel like there's someone behind Kabuto, and they're going to make a big move during the Chunin Exams."

"Why is this again?"

Inuzuka Ishi was very curious and wanted to know the reason.

"Because he managed to remain hidden very reasonably the first six times, but only the seventh time he revealed such a big flaw, which means that he no longer needs to remain hidden."

Another voice came from the side.

Kurama Unro turned his head and saw Nara Shikamei standing there, yawning.

"you saw it?"

Inuzuka Ishi was a little confused.

"No, but after listening to it, it seems to be about the same."

As Lu Ming walked, he stretched his limbs. As he got closer, he could smell a strong medicinal fragrance. It seemed that he had been dragged out to work by the clan in the morning and had only just returned.

"Ah."

Shuo Mao nodded.

"It feels like my heart is being pierced through when I'm reading with you guys."

Inuzuka sighed wistfully, his emotions instantly becoming complex.

The same content can be interpreted differently by different people. One person might simply see the plot, while another might be able to deduce various information from it, or even guess deeper meanings just by hearing some clues without having seen it before.

This is the difference between a poor student and a top student.

"No spoilers, otherwise it's no fun."

Akabane spoke at the opportune moment.

Not everyone can deduce the subsequent plot development from fragmented clues.

"Sorry sorry."

Lu Ming bowed slightly, then threw down one hundred taels of silver and casually picked up a copy of the eighth volume of "Naruto".

He flipped through it very quickly, and soon finished the first chapter.

Swish swish swish~

In no time at all, he had finished reading the eighth volume.

In terms of time, it is even shorter than that of Shuo Mao.

"I prefer One Piece to Naruto."

Lu Ming sat down attentively and began to read the pages one by one.

However, by the time he started reading, Sakumo and Inuzuka Ishi had already been reading for quite some time.

The second volume of One Piece hasn't really started the story yet, but the plot and settings are completely unfamiliar, which makes it more interesting for Lu Ming.

Shuo Mao turned the pages one by one, his eyes sparkling.

Three-Sword Style Zoro!

"Sakumo, three swords!"

Inuzuka Ishi exclaimed in surprise.

"Ok!"

Sakumo nodded, seemingly unconcerned, but after turning a few pages and seeing Zoro's battle scenes, his attention gradually wandered, and he appeared absent-minded.

Three knives, a bit flashy.

In his father's style, he would have definitely condemned this impractical three-sword style, but he couldn't help but think about how to learn it.

Of course, he wasn't just copying Zoro's moves from the manga.

That's just a comic; it's simply unrealistic to try and recreate it.

"A kunai in his mouth, a long sword in his left hand, and a short sword in his right?"

No, there's not much left over.

After a moment's thought, Sakumo felt that the twin swords were actually better.

Shuo Mao gradually formed some basic ideas for the actions, but the specifics still needed to be created and tested continuously.

Dual-wielding and single-wielding styles differ greatly in terms of style and sword techniques, thus they are better suited for different combat situations.

If one masters dual swords, their style will become more versatile in the future.

To incorporate the Chidori Blade...

He gradually became excited and couldn't wait to go back and practice his swordsmanship.

"Akaba, you need to correct some of your bad habits."

After reading it, Lu Ming closed the book with regret.

"Hey hey hey."

Akabane knew what he was talking about; he was simply trying to end the story at the point where Buggy was slashed to pieces.

If it were ninjutsu, Shikamaru might be able to guess how his opponent would evade it, but One Piece is a completely different system, with abilities currently based on "Devil Fruits," so he naturally has no way of guessing.
