I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Just go.

However, it's unclear what exactly Mito Uzumaki meant by "useful".

"I'm leaving for a while and won't be back this afternoon. If the clone disappears, please close the door to the lounge for me."

"Young Master, I understand."

Chapter 176 Q-version First Generation Life Record

Outside the Senju clan.

Akabane felt uneasy, especially as he got closer to the courtyard.

Mito Uzumaki is too experienced; nothing can be hidden from her. Standing in front of her, one feels like there's nowhere to hide.

He took a deep breath as he stepped outside.

"Why are you inhaling? I'm not going to eat you."

A sentence came from inside.

A smile immediately appeared on Akabane's face, and he quickly went inside, saying very politely, "You're too kind. I was just tidying up my clothes outside."

"Heh, you think I don't know I've been avoiding this area lately?"

Mito Uzumaki ruthlessly exposed him.

"Hey hey hey."

Faced with such direct words, Akabane could only offer an awkward laugh.

He glanced up.

Mito Uzumaki looked extremely tired after not seeing her for several days.

"Hey kid, your sister's been here for days without coming home, and you haven't even come to check on her?"

"Qingyue is definitely safe with you."

Akabane had great confidence in Mito Uzumaki—in Konoha today, who would dare to lay a hand on her?

Mito Uzumaki sat upright, with several books beside her. One of them was a sample of a manga she had printed herself, which read "The Daily Life of the Goofy Hashirama".

Well, the book title is very simple and straightforward.

No wonder Yamano Izumi Kou didn't dare to print it at first. With a title like that, without a statement, he was afraid that as soon as it was printed, the daimyo's retainer would come to talk to him about changing the factory director.

"come and see."

A smile appeared on her face, and she handed it over.

"Is this appropriate?"

Despite saying that, Akabane took over the task without hesitation.

The daily life of the first generation... must have been very interesting.

After all, judging from the original Naruto, Hashirama Senju inherited Ashura's goofy personality and was not as dignified as the Second Hokage in general.

"It's okay, comics are just for reading."

Mito Uzumaki is very easygoing.

If she didn't want others to see it, she wouldn't have chosen to send it for printing.

So, Akabane turned to the first page.

The art style remains exquisite, and the manga simply depicts some of Hashirama Senju's daily life.

Because of Hashirama Senju's personality, many of his interactions with Madara and Tobirama Senju are particularly interesting.

"How about it?"

She sat half-reclined in the chair, staring at Akabane with anticipation.

Akabane thought for a moment and said, "The content is very interesting and the drawing is very good, but if you don't have enough energy, you can try a different art style."

The more exquisite the painting, the more effort is required.

Although Mito Uzumaki looks very young, she is actually quite old and her energy and spirit are not as good as those of a teenager.

It's easy to imagine how much effort she put into this comic book.

"There are other art styles too, please teach me."

Mito Uzumaki sat up straight, looking just like a child listening attentively to a lesson.

"and many more."

Akabane took out paper and pen, referred to her original drawing, and then began to draw.

Before long, a figure was drawn.

"So cute!"

Mito Uzumaki's eyes lit up. It wasn't particularly exquisite, but the proportions of its head, body, and legs were about 1:1:1, making its head look very large. The proportions of its eyes were also completely unconventional, yet overall it was very eye-catching.

That's right, Akabane taught her chibi-style drawing.

Because her drawings are in a silly, everyday style, and given her limited energy, the chibi style is better.

"It's this kind of character art style, and the background patterns can be a bit simpler, because all you need to do is share the daily life of the first generation, not anything else."

Akabane explained.

"Yes, yes, it was definitely the right decision to bring you here."

Mito Uzumaki was very satisfied.

When it comes to manga, Akabane certainly knows far more than these later scholars.

"However, this volume..."

Akabane pointed to the book in his hand.

The binding and printing are already completed; it would be a waste to abandon them and start over.

"I prefer the current style when I redraw it."

Mito Uzumaki decisively abandoned her previous art style. Anyway, she had nothing to do every day, except for spending more energy taking care of the children recently.

"As long as you're happy."

Akabane had no objection.

Anyway, the painting belongs to Mito Uzumaki, so it's her freedom to do whatever she wants with it.

of course……

From his personal perspective, he certainly wouldn't want to redraw it, because this volume is equally exquisite and excellent, only the drawing style is different.

At this moment, Mito Uzumaki was as happy as a child.

She happily held the chibi-style picture, studying and pondering it over and over, before finally putting it down after a long while.

Akabane stood to the side, not daring to speak or leave.

After she came to her senses, she said again, "Right, where were we?"

"Hmm, you prefer this art style."

Akabane replied.

"Oh right, your sister is cultivating here, and you haven't even come to check on her or show any concern!"

Mito Uzumaki shouted angrily.

"..."

This conversation happened so long ago!

Akabane was speechless, feeling utterly helpless towards the old lady. Could it be that Mito Uzumaki had forgotten things?

"Alright, just kidding. Xiao Qingyue's Yin Seal is complete, but her chakra is still very unstable recently, so she will continue to stay with me for the time being."

Mito Uzumaki explained.

"So it was the Yin Seal. No wonder I wanted to cultivate here."

Accumulating Yin Seals requires an enormous amount of chakra.

Fortunately, Qingyue is only six years old. In addition, the Uzumaki clan has more chakra than their peers since childhood. Apart from the occasional shortage of chakra, there are no other side effects.

Akabane thought about it and realized that now was indeed the best time—if the chaos in the Land of Whirlpools broke out any longer, she might not be in the mood to learn this technique.

"Good that you understand. Also, when you get back, remember not to let her use chakra too often."

Mito Uzumaki advised.

"clear."

Akabane nodded repeatedly.

During the Yin Seal, any excess chakra in the body is sealed into the Yin Seal, leaving no excess chakra. Therefore, the consequences of using it without authorization are unpredictable.

However, it differs from the Hundred Healings Technique in that it does not require several years; once the chakra is stabilized for a short period, it can be used as before.

"Tsunade told me that you've been researching medical ninjutsu lately. That's a great idea; it's better than staying home and sleeping in. I have some old materials here that you can use as a reference."

Mito Uzumaki pulled out some documents from under the stack of books.

Unexpectedly, Tsunade has also learned to lie!

She was just afraid that Mito Uzumaki wouldn't agree to her training in Sage Mode. As for pushing it onto him, besides, how could such a little scheme escape Mito Uzumaki's notice?

Humans consume more salt than we consume rice.

Akabane silently complained in his heart, then took the book and glanced at it.

The author of the book is Tobirama Senju, a former scientist in Konoha.

Turning to the first page, one finds notes analyzing Hashirama Senju's body, chakra, and other aspects.

This includes an analysis of the superhuman strength.

"As you can see, these are some of Tobirama's daily notes. I've hidden the more forbidden parts, so you can look at them without worry."

Mito Uzumaki said calmly.

"Thank you so much."

Akabane knew the significance of this book. Although it did not record any ninjutsu, its analysis and reflections on ninjutsu, chakra, and physique were worth studying by future generations.

For Orochimaru, this book was the greatest treasure.

For Tsunade, it allows her to better understand the Senju clan's constitution—especially Hashirama Senju.

For Akabane...

Hmm, it seems that it's only more convenient when drawing, where you don't need to make too many excuses.

Akabane flipped through a few more pages, then quickly overturned his previous opinion.

The book contains not only these analyses, but also analyses of the use of Water Release ninjutsu, including some enhanced usage techniques.

"By the way, your recent comics have been a bit weak. Although there are quite a few foreshadowing elements, but... for plots like this, a simple drawing would have sufficed. Did you really need to go through so much trouble?"

Mito Uzumaki opened the latest manga and pointed to the scene where Sakura and Ino were fighting.

"I've already done my best on this; the rest are related to the subsequent plot."

Akabane scratched his head.

He had already cut some of the fight scenes between the "plastic sisters," but some of the remaining parts involved character development and couldn't be removed, so he was quite helpless.

In addition, to avoid abruptness, he expanded on the battle between Tenten and Temari—in the original version, there was only one page about their battle.

"How's your training in superhuman strength going?"

"Not bad, just starting out."

As Akabane spoke, he activated his chakra using the techniques of the Super Strength Technique.

After sensing for a moment, Mito Uzumaki nodded slightly and said, "The progress is not bad. Keep up the good work. Also, not only can Night Dance practice puppetry, but you can also try it."

"You mean...remote control?"
