I'm drawing manga in Naruto

However, its intuition was accurate—it sensed that if it were killed, it would truly die!

Because this is a world of illusion.

Akabane sighed softly: "I don't care if you're the ex or the monster Idu, anyway... you should just die."

The next second, a real demon pounced on its prey.

In a matter of moments, the spiritual body was torn to shreds by the three evil spirits, its power was transformed into pure spiritual energy, and the three evil spirits also dissipated.

The spiritual energy consumed by them instantly merged into Akabane's body.

That's right, that's the power of a kaleidoscope.

The left eye can temporarily open the illusionary world, making the illusion real, while the right eye's ability is to temporarily switch places with "himself" in the illusionary world.

The spiritual entity from before was pulled into the illusionary world, then Akabane applied the "materialization" ability to temporarily turn it into reality, and then it was devoured by the other illusions that were also real illusions.

This kill is also real.

Not only that, Akabane also gained a considerable amount of spiritual energy, causing his spiritual power to surge.

Looking at the panel, his mental strength had reached 165 points, which was at the level of an elite Jonin who specialized in mental strength and illusion techniques.

"My mental strength increased by twenty-five points instantly. How much energy did this thing steal from me?"

Akabane was very fortunate.

Although he was a transmigrator and his compatibility with the body was not as high as that of the monster, he was fortunate to have a system that enhanced his attributes and gradually modified his physique and bloodline.

of course……

Thinking about it carefully, even if things go wrong, it's not a big deal.

Go ask Mito Uzumaki for help. With her strength, dealing with Ido would be a piece of cake.

It has no intelligence and cannot speak, so how could it tell Mito Uzumaki that Akabane is actually the tenant and it is the landlord?

"The Mangekyou Sharingan is quite useful; its potential is much stronger than the Kurama clan's bloodline limit."

Akabane felt a surge of emotion.

As expected of the power left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, each Mangekyou Sharingan has different abilities. For example, his left eye is somewhat similar to an upgraded version of his own five senses control ability and the ability to turn the unreal into the real.

However, the manipulation of the five senses still belongs to the category of illusion; it is the true transformation of the illusory into the real.

As for the right eye, it's probably because he's too afraid of dying and often overuses his shadow clones...

In short, being afraid of death is not shameful.

Thinking of this, Akabane quickly withdrew his eye power, and the patterns on his eyes instantly faded away.

At this moment, he felt a wave of fatigue, and his eyes were slightly sore.

"My mental energy is being used up quite a bit, but my eyes aren't too strained... Is it because of my constitution?"

Akabane pondered silently.

Unfortunately, it's not appropriate to inquire about the extent of Uchiha Genkai's Mangekyou Sharingan side effects, since the information he provided didn't mention anything about them.

"Huh, Akabane, has something happened to you...?"

In the evening, Kurama Chiaki, unusually, went home for dinner—since joining the guard force and taking on the role of elder, he had become increasingly busy and rarely ate at home anymore.

After not seeing him for a day, he immediately sensed that Akabane had changed.

It’s a feeling that I can’t describe.

Akabane had seemed a bit awkward and out of place before, but he didn't feel that way today.

"Father, I have defeated Idu."

A smile appeared on Akabane's face.

Defeating "Ido" will trigger an evolution of the bloodline limit.

This is recorded in the ancient texts of the Kurama clan.

After concealing his Sharingan, Akabane also felt the evolution of his bloodline limit.

It consumes less energy, casts spells faster, and has more refined control over the five senses, making the transformation of injuries in illusions stronger—of course, it is still far inferior to the abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Kurama Chiaki was taken aback, then carefully sensed it and discovered that Akabane's spiritual power was vast and far surpassed that of him, a special Jonin who was skilled in illusion techniques.

This aligns with the surge in mental strength following the victory over Idu!

He took a deep breath and exclaimed with joy, "I never expected... I never expected that you would defeat it on your own. I was thinking that once I awakened, I would ask Lord Mito for help."

"It came out and caused trouble this morning, but I forcibly killed it with sealing techniques and mental power. Thinking about it now, it was indeed dangerous, but fortunately, it was a close call."

Akabane naturally attributed the credit to the sealing technique. He wasn't making things up; he had genuinely considered the sealing technique.

He even considered using the spiritual entity "Ido" as an individual, injecting it with power such as the Nine-Tails' chakra, and then sealing it with a sealing technique to create a pseudo-Jinchūriki effect.

However, as an outsider, Akabane dared not walk a tightrope when encountering a soul with a higher compatibility with his body. It was better to eliminate it in its infancy as a precaution.

“I’ll go and talk to the clan chief. This is a major event for the entire clan.”

Kurama Chiaki was very happy.

A major event for the entire clan?

Akabane was stunned for a moment. Was it really that serious to just devour an extremely weak spiritual entity?

He was about to call his father back when Kurama Chiaki had already vanished in a flash.

Forget it.

Akabane sighed softly, then began to adapt to the surge in his mental power.

One hundred and sixty-five and one hundred and three are not even in the same league.

With his current mental strength, he no longer needs to rely on drawing to create simple illusions using his five senses; he can achieve this simply by using the Naraku-sense technique.

Yes.

After absorbing Ido and enhancing his mental strength, Naraku's perception technique can now not only realize the five senses, but also transform injuries by turning the illusory into the real.

Of course, the effect hasn't been tested yet.

When Kurama Chiaki returned, he was followed by a group of people, including the clan leader, the other elders, and some senior members of the family.

Kurama Maki was the most excited among them. He came over and grabbed Akabane's hand, his whole body trembling. Akabane was worried that the old man might be too happy and go to the immortal mountain.

By the next day, even the villagers knew about it.

However, there are not many high-ranking officials left in the village, only the third generation, Mitokado Homura, and some other clan leaders.

The emergence of a genius from the Kurama clan who single-handedly defeated Ido has put immense pressure on many families, especially those that were originally similar to the Kurama family.

The family's grand gesture suggested they were preparing for a large-scale event, a clan-wide gathering. However, that very afternoon, members of three generations arrived.

The mission has begun...

With the fighting in the Land of Whirlpools going on like this, and me getting even stronger, I really can't think of any way to escape.

Akabane did not refuse and followed the ANBU ninja to the office.

Upon arriving at the office, the third generation was resting his chin on his hand, looking at a battle report.

"Hokage-sama."

Akabane greeted them at the door, and only went inside after the Third Hokage looked up and waved.

The third generation turned the battle report over and said, "Akaba, you've been quite busy updating lately. Why don't you go out for a walk to relax?"

"..."

Akabane didn't know where to begin his rant. He was already mentally prepared for the mission, so there was no need to beat around the bush.

He picked up the battle report and glanced at it.

Ok?

It's not from the village of Uzushio, it's from the Land of Rivers—the Jinchuriki of Sunagakure has appeared in the Land of Winds!

Do you think their jinchūriki will come to the Land of Rivers?

Akabane's expression was solemn.

With the Mangekyou Sharingan, Shukaku shouldn't be too much of a worry, but the problem is that his Sharingan cannot be easily exposed.

That's my trump card for survival!

"With a new leader taking over in Sunagakure and the fate of the Second Shamon unknown, it's difficult for us to predict their next move based on their established mindset. We can only make arrangements in advance."

The third generation took out a map, which was covered with a series of icons.

The map above shows the distribution of personnel in the Land of Rivers, including those from Konoha, Sunagakure, and rogue ninja. It also includes a group of subordinates that Orochimaru recruited after defeating Kinsho.

The reconnaissance team had been on the move for a month, and their understanding of the Land of Rivers was probably more detailed than that of the King of the Land of Rivers.

"what do you mean?"

Akabane was somewhat puzzled. Why send him to the Land of Rivers to fight the Sand Ninja?

But if the other side were to deploy Shukaku, unless I unleashed my Sharingan, I wouldn't be able to withstand it!

The Third Hokage coughed lightly and said, "I know you've secured a business over there with a bunch of rogue ninja protecting the caravan. You'll temporarily stay there as the leader of the rogue ninja, and if Sunagakure decides to attack, you'll find an opportunity to strike."

He wouldn't dare let Akabane go before making the change.

If Shukaku really comes, even if Akabane has the best talent, it's all for nothing. However, after annexing Ido and strengthening his bloodline limit, the Kurama clan's genjutsu, combined with the Anbu sealing squad, will have some effect.

Besides, this brat always likes to keep something to himself. After giving him the scroll of sealing techniques, he must have learned some sealing techniques.

"..."

I understand now. He had Orochimaru recruit a group of underlings.

Whether Orochimaru benefited or not is unknown, but he certainly lost out.

Akabane felt a pang of annoyance, but the Land of Rivers was, after all, an important transit base, and he would be very upset if the Land of Wind took it away.

Let's go, and while we're at it, let's see how our free trade zone is going.

Thinking about this, he nodded and said, "Alright, but regarding equipment and funding..."

"I'll give you some; use it to develop those people, and try to make things better over there."

The Third Generation understood Akabane's thoughts very well.

Can't you develop subordinates without asking for money?

In his previous life, Orochimaru sought cooperation with the Land of Rice Fields simply because he wanted the king's money.

Akabane didn't want to do something that would lose money; why should he pay for it himself when he could get the village to pay for it?

In addition...

If I do the task myself, won't the preparatory department have someone "do it for me"?

This is a reasonable request.

The Third Hokage naturally agreed. As for who to ask, he didn't say and Akabane didn't ask either, but there weren't many people in the village to choose from. It was just a matter of asking Orochimaru or someone from the Uchiha clan.

As for who it is, that has nothing to do with Akabane.

To lie in wait, of course, means to take advantage of the night.

Akabane left that very night, heading to the Land of Rivers.

With a physical strength score of 100, one is barely passing among Jonin. Although one doesn't have any special skills, traveling is definitely not a problem.

The next morning, Akabane arrived at the target town. Before entering the town, he changed into the appearance and attire that Orochimaru had previously transformed into, with an ordinary katana at his waist and a small short sword given to him by the Hatake clan hidden in his arms.

After a long absence, he noticed that things had changed a bit.

Walking down the street, every few steps you could see a guy with a katana or a short sword at his waist. Judging from his attire, you could tell he was living a miserable life. The wandering ninjas who usually liked to pretend to be ninjas seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden.

what's going on?

He kept a close watch on the way, then, with practiced ease, found his way to the tavern, only to be momentarily stunned when he saw the people inside.

The decor looked just like in One Piece, with two large posters on the door, one featuring Zoro and the newly released Hawkeye, with a string of wanted reward coins written on them.
