I'm drawing manga in Naruto

"By the way, will Naruto become Hokage? Or will he become...?"

Mito Uzumaki didn't say the second half of her sentence, but the meaning behind it is obvious.

After figuring it out, Akabane wouldn't answer honestly anymore. He coughed lightly and said, "Grandma Mito, this involves the later plot, so I won't answer."

"Ok?"

Mito Uzumaki paused for a moment before saying, "It's alright, you only need to tell me."

Is this a way of canceling my right to sit in the class?

Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately became agitated and said sharply, "Grandma, how could you do this!"

"Grandma Mito, if I spoil the plot, how can you expect anything from the rest of the story?"

Chapter 19 The Gambler - Tsunade

Spoilers will bring death to your whole family. As a qualified manga artist, this is something you should never do, even if the opponent is one of the strongest fighters in Konoha Village.

Akabane's stance was firm and unwavering.

Mito Uzumaki sighed with some regret, not pressing for further questions.

In the small courtyard, Mito Uzumaki continued reading her manga. At this moment, Akabane noticed that she hadn't even finished reading the first chapter, and it wasn't until now that she saw Konohamaru appear.

"In other words, 60 points aren't all there is to the first episode!"

I glanced at it and saw that my points on the system panel had reached 88!

Akabane's heart skipped a beat, and he understood what was going on.

During our conversation, Kurama suddenly went berserk, which means that if Mito Uzumaki is reading this manga, Kurama can see it too.

Human Jinchūriki is awesome, double points!

Akabane's gaze towards Mito Uzumaki intensified; she was undoubtedly the most desirable client...

"Haha, this Konohamaru is quite interesting."

After reading the second chapter, Mito Uzumaki couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh a few times. Then she turned her head and said, "You brat, how could you come up with such a boring ninjutsu as the Sexy Jutsu? You shouldn't be reading that kind of book at such a young age, you know?"

"cough……"

Akabane blushed slightly and awkwardly brushed the matter aside. The Sexy Jutsu plays a significant role in Naruto; they couldn't just cut it out like that, could they?

There was no other way but to bravely take the blame.

After reading the second chapter, she sighed slightly and closed the comic book.

"Mother-in-law, aren't you going to watch it anymore?"

Akabane paused for a moment.

"Sigh, serves you right for not revealing what happens next. If you watch it all at once, you won't be able to watch it tomorrow."

Mito Uzumaki carefully put away the manga book, placing it inside her clothes as a precious keepsake.

For someone as worldly-wise as her, who couldn't easily leave her village, this comic was indeed the best way to pass the time, and such self-control was something Akabane greatly admired.

After all, he simply didn't have that kind of self-control. Every time he went home, Akabane would tell himself to work hard to draw the next chapter of the manga, but his body would always make him lie in bed to rest.

The other person witnessed this scene and felt equally conflicted—judging from how much Grandma treasured it, there was no way they could get their hands on this rare comic book.

"Don't worry, Grandma. My comic book shop will open in a few days. I'll send you a copy then, along with a special Naruto poster."

While comforting her, Akabane also gave his manga shop a freebie. Giving away a copy was just a token gesture. Now that Mito Uzumaki is the number one person in the Senju Mori family, if she wants to read manga, how can the others not buy it?

But before he could finish speaking, Tsunade said, with a mix of delight and threat, "I'm sure I'll get a poster too, right?"

"Um...yes, definitely."

Akabane dared not answer no, otherwise he might not be able to leave the Senju clan safely.

"That's true."

Tsunade nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, very good, young man, you have a bright future."

Mito Uzumaki was also very satisfied and accepted Akabane's "offering," while also offering some benefits: "Our family still has some influence in many areas. If your manga needs a large number of prints, we can help."

"Then I would be very grateful. I have already drawn the first five chapters needed for the first volume, and it is in need of mass printing to prepare for the opening in a few days."

Akabane readily agreed.

The Senju clan no longer interferes in Konoha's internal affairs, but their prestige in Konoha is unparalleled. Once you establish a relationship with the Senju clan, anyone who wants to take a bite out of the manga shop after it opens will have to think twice.

Mito Uzumaki nodded, a faint smile on her beautiful face, and held up a token, saying, "This token represents my identity. You can use this token to ask for help from the Senju clan's properties, and they will help you."

"Thank you, Grandma Mito."

Akabane called out sweetly, since he was, after all, a child...

"Alright, you kids can play by yourselves, you don't need to keep an old woman like me company. Take a good rest during your holiday, you'll be busy once you have teachers."

Mito Uzumaki patted Akabane's head and didn't try to stop her.

Elderly people...

Looking at her face, Akabane felt that the word was very incongruous when applied to her; the Yin Seal was indeed a monstrous thing.

To avoid premature aging, one must learn to master this powerful weapon in the future, otherwise, even a few steps will be painful and tiring, and he may end up living in bed forever.

"Grandma, let's go play. Akabane is leaving. Don't disturb my grandma's rest."

Tsunade gestured for Akabane to get up, and then she got up and walked outside as well.

"Grandma Mito, I'll come see you again sometime."

Holding the token in his hand, Akabane bowed to Mito Uzumaki before leaving the courtyard.

"Good, good, what a polite child."

Mito Uzumaki smiled, her eyes narrowing, which was very beautiful.

The two left the Senju clan one after the other and returned to Konoha Village.

Once on the street, Tsunade looked left and right, then suddenly remembered something and walked into a small alley.

Akabane originally didn't want to walk any further and was preparing to go home, but as Tsunade walked, he felt that something was wrong.

This road...

Sure enough, a shop soon appeared in front of them—Xiangming Casino.

"Tsunade, where are you going?"

Akabane immediately called out to her.

"Hehehe, I'm going to play..."

Tsunade took out her wallet, took out the money, and smiled smugly.

"You're going to give away the money you just got?"

Akabane's expression grew increasingly strange. Ever since Tsunade developed a gambling addiction, the Senju clan had imposed financial controls on her.

Needless to say, this money was definitely obtained by swindling people out of the comics that Akabane gave them.

"No, I can win."

Tsunade said confidently, "My gambling skills are superb, as for casinos..."

Then, she formed a hand seal and instantly transformed into someone else's appearance, ready to swagger into the casino.

Akabane was speechless.

Doesn't this guy know how bad his gambling skills are?

That's true, if they had known their place, they wouldn't have accumulated so much debt later.

Akabane felt helpless. After thinking for a moment, he threatened her, "If you go gambling, I won't send you the poster or that big gift."

"What? Akabane, you can't do this to me!"

Tsunade's small face was filled with anger.

"I asked you to give the comic to Grandma Mito, but you cheated her out of her money. You went gambling, and I'm going to tell on you!"

Akabane added another sentence.

"I didn't... I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Tsunade frantically denied it, but the panic on her face confirmed Akabane's guess.

She fears nothing and no one, except her grandmother, Mito Uzumaki. Despite Mito's gentle and approachable nature, her sealing techniques are incredibly skilled, and this is what Tsunade fears most.

"How about it?"

"Okay... okay."

Tsunade walked one step at a time, reluctant to leave, but Akabane paused after a few steps, then formed hand seals and rushed into the gambling den, catching Tsunade who had created a clone and then used the Body Flicker Technique to run in.

"You, how can you be so fast!"

Tsunade was both surprised and annoyed.

If Akabane had realized it a little later, she could have gotten off the table and taken a gamble. Even if she got caught then, she would have been satisfied. Unlike now, where she has one foot in and the other foot has been pulled back.

Chapter 20 isn't far, just a short distance.

"First, your hand seals are too slow. Second, your clone technique and substitution technique have too many flaws, and it's easy to spot them."

Akabane grabbed her hand and started to walk out without saying a word.

"No... just one gamble, just one!"

Tsunade bent over and pleaded desperately, but Akabane was immune to such little girls and his heart was as hard as iron. The awkward thing was that Tsunade was too strong and Akabane couldn't pull her away.

"Fine, go ahead. Don't even think about getting a sneak peek at the comics again."

Akabane simply didn't stop him, gave a cold laugh, and turned to leave.

Tsunade was stunned, her eyes darting back and forth between Akabane and the gambling den. If Akabane hadn't noticed her escape into the gambling den, that would have been fine, but now she was faced with a choice—gamble or read the manga.

She was torn between the two choices.

Tsunade was underage and couldn't have both, so she had to painfully give up the gamble.

Akabane took a few steps and felt relieved after hearing Tsunade's footsteps. As expected, manga is more attractive!

Who knows, because of the arrival of the comic, the three ninjas of gambling, drugs, and prostitution in the future might change their hobbies, and I can consider this a way of promoting positive social energy.

"I'm not gambling anymore, what reward do you have?"

Back behind Akabane, Tsunade's first instinct was to claim credit and ask for a reward.

"That kid is shameless; he'll never grow up properly in that area."

Akabane said calmly.

"Pah, when did you become like that idiot Jiraiya?"

Tsunade cursed in an annoyed tone.

The two then argued as they headed towards the Kurama clan's encampment.

Not far away, a passing Shinjiro looked frustrated and puzzled.

If it were me saying those words, I'd probably get a super-strong punch right away. But Akabane not only didn't get beaten up, he ended up getting shot himself.

They were all mocking her for being "flat," but Akabane's treatment was far superior to hers!

Why on earth?

"In terms of looks, talent, and skill, I'm no worse than Akabane... Hmm, it must be because Akabane can draw manga. Okay, in order to change Tsunade's impression of me, I'll learn manga too!"

After thinking for a long time, Jiraiya came to this conclusion. Having found the crux of the problem, he immediately became full of confidence.

Akabane, who had returned to his clan, was unaware of Jiraiya's thoughts. He was too busy to care what Jiraiya was thinking, and even Tsunade, who had come along, was dragged along as a laborer.

"Tsunade, could you take me to the place in your clan that handles printing?"

"Of course, but you have to give me these original drawings."
