I'm drawing manga in Naruto

In a sense, it can be said that by acquiring the other party's spiritual energy, one can minimize one's own consumption.

The premise is that the beast does not take kickbacks.

He sighed softly. Although he had already warned him once, the more he thought about it, the more unreliable it seemed.

The little tapir returned from outside.

Judging from its appearance, it had acquired quite a few comics; a clear look of satisfaction could be seen on the beast's face.

"Don't forget to tell your people about me."

Akabane gave a special reminder.

This little creature is highly intelligent, but some of its personality traits are really difficult to handle; I have to give it repeated instructions.

"I know, I know. By the way, when you update, be sure to summon me again!"

The little tapir was reluctant to leave.

This comic book store is like a treasure trove to it; there are endless comics to read here, and it would be so wonderful to live here forever.

Unfortunately not.

Bang!

With a sound, it returned to the location of the Dream Eater clan through a spell.

"Young Master, your Dream Eater took away ten sets. Did it really need that many?"

Kurama Yunlang took stock of the items and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

I thought that guy wouldn't be able to take much, but who would have thought that the other party knew ninjutsu and just opened his mouth and ate it all.

"Only ten sets, that's only twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver, don't be so stingy."

Akabane admonished.

Although they're all free, the Dream Eaters can contribute a lot of points just by reading them once. Plus, they can use "Comic Dream" to post toxic ads, making it a sure-fire way to make money.

I wonder how many summoned creatures will be interested in comics.

Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. I need to finish updating the manga first. I have to draw today's One Piece manga myself, and if I don't start now, it might be too late.

……

On Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya would study the Kaihime manga during his spare time from his training.

He has borrowed it for three days.

For the past three days, he has been studying its advantages and mastering its most essential aspects.

It's very difficult, but fortunately I've made some progress recently.

"What's the point of you studying such boring things all day?"

A large toad hopped over, a freshly caught insect still curled on its tongue.

“Bunta, this is the most supreme art of mankind… Oh, I forgot, you are a toad, you wouldn’t understand our human art.”

Jiraiya looked like a lonely master.

Gamabunta glanced at it disdainfully and said, "It's better not to understand things like this. If you focused on your cultivation, you would have already surpassed that Orochimaru you mentioned."

"No, the person I'm going to surpass now isn't some boring guy like Orochimaru, but him—Shinnosuke!"

Jiraiya was pointing at the manga's author.

Bunta remained silent for a moment, clearly not understanding Jiraiya's pointless idea.

however……

The next second, Jiraiya drew a picture in a flash.

Two toads, one male and one female, came together in a very "weird" way.

"Pfft~ You idiot Jiraiya, what did you draw?!"

Wen Tai stepped back, still holding his weapon.

You can't tell what the toad is feeling just by looking at its expression, but you can tell from its sound that it's excited and thrilled.

"Hahaha, aesthetics may differ, but art is something that all races share."

Jiraiya was quite pleased with himself.

This master is indeed powerful; even the toad is captivated by my drawing skills!

"Idiot, don't draw such boring things."

As Bunta spoke, he seemed to be preparing something.

"Wait, no... Oh no!"

Jiraiya noticed the moment and, disregarding everything else, rushed forward and snatched "Kaihime" into his arms.

Water Release: Gunfire Ball!

A large mouthful of saliva shattered the drawing paper into powder.

He quickly checked the book in his arms and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no damage.

Thankfully it's not broken!

Wen Tai, leaning on his knife and smoking, was squatting down in a very gangster-like manner.

"Tch, we're already this kind of relationship, why are you pretending to be so serious?"

Jiraiya muttered to himself as he carefully put the manga away. Gamabunta's visit meant that the painful training period was about to begin again.

"Complete your ninjutsu training first!"

"Okay, I get it."

Jiraiya sighed and began training in the nature transformation of fire-style chakra.

Bunta squatted down to the side.

Jiraiya is still far from being a match for Gamabunta, which is why Fukasaku dared to entrust Gamabunta with the responsibility of supervising Jiraiya's training alone.

Otherwise, given Jiraiya's carefree personality, if he were to train alone, he'd probably end up back at some bathhouse in Konoha half an hour later.

Longdi Cave.

Princess Ichikishima lay in her residence, entering a state of hibernation as usual.

However, at this moment, she entered a strange dream.

In the dream, there was a giant fox demon, its body releasing terrifying chakra as it roared to the sky and then went berserk, destroying everything around it.

The scene is grand.

But what kind of dream is this?

Having cultivated to their level, ordinary dreams can no longer disturb their sleep.

Therefore, it only took her a moment to understand.

"It's those wretched flies again!"

She gritted her teeth; for snakes that prefer to hibernate, dreams are the most detestable thing.

Even in the dream, she was helpless and could only slowly break free.

While deciphering the dream, Princess Ichikishima observed the situation within the dream, wondering what tricks these annoying dream-devouring creatures were up to.

Not long after, a book appeared.

At the same time, a man's voice appeared in the dream.

"A ninja risked his life to seal the demon fox, but he himself died from exhaustion..."

Then, the dream changed.

A huge statue appeared in the distance, covered in paint, and looked quite comical.

"Ho ho ho, is this the human world? It's as chaotic as ever."

"..."

As she read on, she thought the book wasn't bad at all. If such a service existed, allowing the dream-devourers to absorb some of their spiritual energy wouldn't be so bad—

With her strength, the spiritual energy dissipated in her dreams can be quickly restored, so the dream of the Baku will not have a significant impact on her strength.

The comic book, combined with the dream sequence, was a delight to read for Princess Ichikishima. She couldn't help but praise, "Not bad at all. You dream-baku even know how to provide quality service. It's no longer that kind of rigid, disgusting, and idiotic dream."

"I'm glad you liked it. I'll come again next time!"

The Dream Eater let out a strange laugh.

"Eh? Wait!"

Just as Princess Ichikishima realized what was happening, the dream began to collapse, and the books and images shattered in an instant.

At the same time, she woke up.

It was cut off halfway through...

She took back what she said earlier; these dream-eating creatures were as annoying as ever.

"Damn it, the Dream Eater's brain is so rigid, it's impossible for it to come up with something like this. I must find out who instigated them to do this."

Princess Ichikishima gritted her teeth.

Naruto?

The author's name was erased, but as long as you find anything related to Konoha, it's not hard to figure out who did it.

"It seems that Manda has made a contract with a brat in Konoha, so it can find out which brat is causing trouble... Hmm, and bring back the whole set while it's at it."

Afterwards, she left her residence and headed towards the location of the ten thousand snakes.

Chapter 197 One Hundred Comics as Sacrifices

"The Ninja Reserve Division Recruitment Fair is now open! Those interested are welcome to apply at the main gate of Konoha Village today. Requirements..."

Banners were hung all over Konoha's streets.

Akabane sat in the makeshift shed set up by the guards at the entrance, waiting for the Chunin to come and apply.

Around him, a group of friends of similar age were busy helping with the trivial matters of recruitment, while Shikamaru and Shinnosuke sat there organizing some documents.

These materials were given to the Shadow Clone by someone during yesterday's Q&A session.

Those people were quite interested in the teaching position and asked the most questions.

Not long after...

A dozen or so Chunin arrived, ready for battle.

Are they all genin?

Seeing the genin working in the shed, the chunin were curious and hesitant. Could these people also be staff members of the reserve department?

"Hello, the Genin will be happy to serve you."

"Genin meeting?"

The Chunin looked bewildered; they had never heard of this organization in the village.

Inuzuka Ishi patiently explained to them, "The Genin Association is an organization for the reserve genin, and its purpose is to assist the teachers in managing the genin's training, studies, and other work."

"I see."

This is much more convenient...

With these lower-ranking ninjas around, we can delegate some trivial matters to them.

The Chunin immediately understood.

"What positions are you applying for? We already have theoretical instructors, but we are currently lacking ninja tool training instructors and infiltration training instructors..."

Inuzuka Ishi familiarly listed all the currently vacant positions; he hadn't wasted this day or so.

Upon hearing this, the chunin all showed hesitation on their faces.

There are so many job openings, I have no idea which one to choose.
