I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Akabane glanced at it.

The Silent Step technique is very inexpensive; theoretically, it should be worth at least a C-rank ninjutsu.

In reality, only 15 points are needed.

"It's possible that the silent assassination technique has been reduced in some aspects, since silent assassination also involves techniques for reducing the sound of footsteps."

He secretly guessed.

Now, thanks to frequent updates, even though the number of ninjas in the village has decreased due to the war, more than 800 points are still generated every day.

Fifteen points doesn't seem too expensive.

Since Night Dance has a need for it, and I can also use the Silent Step ability, I thought for a moment and exchanged for it directly.

It's only 3 PM anyway.

"Beast mimicry ninjutsu, that makes sense. Looks like I'll have to borrow some information from the Inuzuka clan."

Night Dance didn't expect Akabane to come up with anything, after all, that guy has a lot of crazy ideas, but he hasn't actually created many of them himself, including the Sound Ninja three-piece set and Chidori, which have been very popular recently.

however……

"The silent step is very basic and easy to master."

After Akabane made the exchange, the memories flooded into his mind, and at the same time, his body directly mastered this ability.

The technique of silent walking, simply put, is to imitate the footsteps of a cat and reduce the sound to almost zero. The speed increase is somewhat, but not very significant.

Kro was able to achieve such rapid slashes because he trained himself to achieve that speed.

In short, it's the same as physical techniques.

Silent Step isn't a move that can be quickly increased by exchanging skills; on the contrary, Shave might be a more promising option.

"Really? You actually developed ninjutsu on your own? That's amazing!"

Night Dance was surprised.

This time, this guy isn't just a theorist; he's actually developed a silent walking technique.

"Don't say that. I have actually mastered the Three-Sword Style."

It's just that my body can't keep up...

Akabane muttered to himself, then got up and started doing warm-up exercises.

If you haven't exercised in a long time, and the silent walking technique requires a lot of footwork, you might accidentally twist your ankle or get a cramp, which would be too funny.

"It really does look like that."

Night Dance stepped back a few paces to a more open area. "Try it out. Take me as your target."

"it is good."

After stretching his muscles and bones, Akabane quickly formed hand seals.

Silent Step alone isn't very effective, but when combined with the speed boost from Body Flicker, it shouldn't be too bad.

A silent version of the Body Flicker Technique!

In the blink of an eye, the person disappeared from sight.

"So fast!"

Night Dance tried her best to perceive and listen to the sounds around her, but she couldn't hear a single footstep.

where is it?

He circled around, trying to find Akabane's location, but to no avail. He couldn't hear any sounds or see anyone, so he had to rely on other methods to locate Akabane.

Unfortunately, he is not good at perception.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

After creating a shadow clone, Night Dance finally found Akabane.

This guy always hid in a blind spot five or six steps behind him. Whenever he turned, Akabane would turn with him, keeping him hidden in the blind spot.

"This ability is really perfect for me, please teach me!"

Ye Wu's eyes widened in disbelief.

From hiding in the corner to the very end, at least ten seconds had passed. In a fight, ten seconds is enough time for him to kill his opponent.

"Young man, don't just think about getting something for nothing. Learn about equivalent exchange."

Akabane chuckled.

"What do you want in return for this exchange?"

Ye Wu was a little conflicted. It seemed that the other party had all the skills she possessed, and she felt that there was no price that would tempt the other party.

"Tomorrow, the Third Hokage will announce the news about the preparatory group. The day after tomorrow, I will hold a recruitment fair. You will help me sit at the counter and be responsible for observing the combat skills of the ninjas who come to apply."

Night Dance is not yet a Chunin, but his overall strength is already at the Chunin level. However, he is not outstanding in the exam and cannot occupy one of the limited spots.

"That's...ok."

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Wu had no choice but to agree to the request.

After all, the conditions weren't unreasonable; compared to the value of the Silent Step, it was practically a free gift.

One more able-bodied man!

Akabane was secretly happy.

"Looks like you two are really into it, you've actually started practicing on your own."

Kazami Hatake's voice came through.

The next second, he instantly entered the forest from outside and arrived between Akabane and Yoru.

"Uncle Kazami, if you hear this, please come over the day after tomorrow. Whether it's a shadow clone or something, just be there to keep things under control, so that no one will dare to disobey us little brats."

Akabane casually recruited another group of men.

While Kazami Hatake's strength and prestige are considerably less than those of a Kage, he is considered to be at a very high level among Chunin and Jonin. With him in charge, no one dares to say a word against him.

"Ah."

Kazami Hatake nodded slightly, then said, "Silent Step, I'm quite interested in that too. I'll listen to it. As for the benefits..."

He took something from his waist and casually tossed it to Akabane.

Akabane took it; it was a very short and tiny sword, only slightly longer than a kunai.

"Your physical fitness is poor, but your knife skills are quite good. A short sword might be more suitable for you. Go back and practice."

Chapter 192 Ding! Orochimaru gets a +1 "good guy" card!

"Teacher, wasn't this knife just made a few days ago?"

Night Dance was somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, this kind of knife is too short and not suitable for normal knife users. It's just right for someone like him who has skills but doesn't mainly use a knife in combat."

Kazami Hatake said calmly.

After the last battle, he had a thorough understanding of Akabane's situation.

Akabane himself lacked strength and speed, and his great power was achieved through monstrous strength. Therefore, ordinary short swords could not withstand the excessive chakra impact of the monstrous strength technique.

This sword is specially made; its material is strong enough to withstand the infusion of chakra.

Akabane examined it closely. He didn't know much about knives, but he could still tell the difference between good and bad. Although this knife was small, its workmanship and materials were impeccable.

Absolutely a great knife!

"Uncle Kazami, this is too precious."

This knife would be a family heirloom in any ordinary family, so how could Akabane dare to accept such a grand gift?

"Take it if it's given to you."

Kazami Hatake glanced at him, then took a few steps toward the dojo. "I've read the manga. Let's not talk about Shoji. Tell me about the Silent Step. It's somewhat useful for the ANBU ninjas."

"Yes!"

Akabane hadn't considered this at all, but now he realized that the Silent Step wasn't just for assassination; it could also conceal one's footsteps within the Mist Concealment Technique.

Luckily, I redeemed it myself; I not only mastered it, but also gained the complete set of memories.

So he recounted the knowledge he had received as a bonus, detailing the key points and techniques in great detail. It might be difficult for ordinary genin to grasp, but it would definitely be no problem for Kazami Hatake and Yoru.

After listening to it once, Ye Wu was still deep in thought.

However, Kazami Hatake had already gotten up, taken a few steps forward, and then disappeared in a flash.

It was too fast, and completely silent.

The next second, Kazami Hatake appeared behind Yoru. Akabane activated his senses to observe secretly and found that Kazami Hatake's position changed extremely quickly. Even if he could sense it, if he really wanted to attack him, his body might not be able to react in time.

If even someone with senses reacts like this, then what about ordinary ninjas?

This is before even using Lightning Release to activate the body's vitality. If various acceleration ninjutsu were used, the speed would probably be even more terrifying, even surpassing the speed of the Blade Death state—the Blade Death state is uncontrollable, but as an elite Jonin, Kazami Hatake can control this high-speed slash.

Kazami Hatake stopped between the two.

He closed his eyes, sensing the changes in his chakra and physical condition, and then said, "My stamina consumption is 20% higher than normal, but my chakra consumption hasn't changed much. It's not suitable for frequent use, but it should be quite effective when used in critical moments."

"is teacher."

Night Dance understood that Kazami Hatake was talking to him.

The technique was created by Akabane, so he naturally understands its advantages and disadvantages best, and he is the only remaining listener.

"There are similar techniques for shadows, but they are not as refined as this one."

Kazami Hatake explained to Akabane.

"With this in mind, we plan to establish a patent and registration system for ninjutsu in the research department to prevent ninjas from repeatedly developing techniques and wasting time and energy."

Akabane then casually mentioned it to Kazami Hatake.

Although he was only the vice-minister, since the Hokage basically didn't care about the reserve team, Kazami was essentially doing the work of the ministries minister.

"That's good, I'll give you credit for that."

Kazami Hatake nodded slightly and then said, "I will submit the Silent Step technique to the Anbu. They will be using it soon, and you will also receive credit for it later."

"Thank you, Uncle Kazami."

Akabane chuckled. With Danzo's connection to him, he would naturally benefit from the development of the technique.

With Kazami Hatake doing the work for him, he was spared the trouble of making a trip to report.

Of course, the Silent Step is only effective in special circumstances and is not a necessary technique, so its contribution is not great. Night Dance expressed her sincere envy.

He was already overwhelmed with creating sword clones, but Akabane kept coming up with new techniques every few days.

The previous Mirage of Mist, this Silent Step, and if you include the ninjutsu created by Sakumo, Orochimaru, and others based on Akabane's ideas, there are even more.

I'm just too lazy!

Kazami Hatake sighed inwardly.

If this guy were to work harder and be more diligent, his achievements would probably be two or three times greater than they are now. His talent is simply too good. Putting everything else aside, which other member of the saddle horse clan could possess such physical attributes?

What a waste of such a handsome appearance.

"I'll go to the Dark Division first. Night Dance will continue to keep an eye on those brats."

Kazami Hatake is a very busy person. He had just returned not long ago, but after learning the Silent Step, he left again in a hurry.

Speaking of which, what was his original position?

Akabane recalled for a moment, remembering that Sakumo had mentioned it before, that he was the captain of the Anbu?

Anyway, he's from the Naruto lineage. He was probably a spy planted by the Third Hokage in the Anbu, which can be considered an extension of the Third Hokage's power in the Anbu.

However, now that Root has disappeared, Danzo has made concessions, and the Third Hokage has taken the opportunity to withdraw some of his people.

"Akabane, teach me again, how do you make the feet?"

Night Dance was in a lot of pain. Kazami Hatake understood it immediately, but there were still a few parts he didn't quite understand. He didn't dare to ask again until Kazami Hatake left.
