I'm drawing manga in Naruto

The little girl didn't understand the deeper meaning, but she knew that Mito Uzumaki meant no harm and was actually very protective of Akabane.

After leaving Senju's side, Akabane walked down the street while staring at the paper ball in his hand that had the second generation Flying Thunder God Slash Technique drawn on it.

The pattern resembles parts seen in the manga, confirming that it was indeed the Second Hokage's work. However, what worried him wasn't the technique itself, but rather Mito Uzumaki's true intention in using it.

Knowing that he had already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, why did he still bring this out?

"Am I overthinking it...?"

Akabane pondered silently.

Old people are shrewd and experienced. A national treasure like Mito Uzumaki is not to be underestimated at all, which is why he was reluctant to visit the Senju clan more often.

Upon careful consideration, he increasingly felt that Mito Uzumaki had sensed something.

Physical constitution?

However, he did not exhibit the red hair characteristic of the Uzumaki clan. Judging solely from his robust physique, chakra, and vitality that surpassed that of ordinary people, it was not reasonable to directly suspect the Uzumaki clan's constitution.

It's probably a completely illogical suspicion—anyway, I just feel like there's something wrong with him.

"Forget it, there's no use thinking too much. Although this technique is not useful, it is still a piece of first-hand information that will be helpful for others to cultivate in the future."

After pondering for a long time, Akabane stopped dwelling on things like "whether I guessed it or not".

Whether she guessed it or not, the fact that she used this technique means she's on Akabane's side—provided Akabane doesn't betray Konoha.

As for betraying Konoha...

Did I do all these things just to betray Konoha?

What's the point of this? It's obviously impossible.

Thinking about this made him feel much more relaxed.

In Sunagakure Village, a research institute was quietly established, currently housing only four people: Shamon, Sunakatsu, Chiyo, and Ebizo.

"Teacher, is it necessary for us to spend a lot of money to imitate Konoha and build a research institute?"

Suna sighed softly.

This research institute cost them a lot of money, and now, he hasn't seen any return on his investment.

"Of course it exists. If it weren't for research, would we have magnetic escape today?"

The monk's words left the disciple speechless.

Ebizo brought in a stack of documents, took a light breath, and said, "According to the Anbu, Konoha used several new types of ninjutsu during the War of the Land of Whirlpools. One of these techniques is very similar to the Second Mizukage's ability to summon the Mirage Beast, but what's even more similar is actually the technique described in this book..."

As he spoke, he flipped through the stack of books and pulled out one of the One Piece volumes.

This is a scene where Nami uses "Mirage" to create clones.

"That's right. Konoha is turning the techniques from the manga into reality. I've also heard that Konoha's medical techniques are developing very rapidly. They saved a lot of ninjas in this war. If we had medical ninjutsu of that level, we wouldn't have lost so many ninjas in the Land of Birds."

Chiyo sighed.

"But how can we possibly defeat Konoha if we only learn from them?"

Sandsuke was somewhat annoyed.

Upon hearing this, the other three fell silent.

Defeat Konoha?

too difficult!

The monk remained silent for a long time before continuing, "I am no longer able to do it. It depends on your generation. Therefore, you cannot only look at the present, but also focus on the future and see the more distant benefits."

"Yes."

The sand-like creature bowed its head.

He held this teacher in the highest esteem, which was why he hated Konoha even more for hurting him.

"My lords, we have received yesterday's update from the Land of Fire."

An ANBU ninja arrives and hands over a comic book.

"Ah."

The monk took it and turned the pages to examine it closely.

The story continues from the previous volume, still revolving around the group of Konoha genin chasing Sasuke, but a subtle change occurs in this volume—

Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro make their appearance!

"Speaking of which, this group is probably the strongest fighting force in Sunagakure, right?"

Ebizo couldn't help but complain.

Shamen recalled the plot for a moment, then slowly nodded.

The Fourth Kazekage was assassinated by Orochimaru, and many ninjas died in the Konoha Crush plan. These three were truly the strongest in Sunagakure besides Baki.

It's one of the five major villages, yet it's fallen to this state...

How miserable!

Suna clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said, "Sensei, I will make the village stronger, and we will surpass Konoha sooner or later!"

"Ah."

The monk watched and answered.

The images of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju unconsciously surfaced in his mind. Although Tobirama was not as powerful as the former, he was still incredibly strong.

Both brothers were unparalleled geniuses of their time!

I thought Konoha would decline for a while after Tobirama, but now it seems that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, one focusing on internal affairs and the other on external affairs, have made Konoha even better than before.

The most terrifying thing is Konoha's next generation—

Those nine boys in the Chunin Exams, which one of them wouldn't be a coveted prize for Sunagakure?

In Konoha, there are nine in this generation alone!

Can it surpass Konoha?

Chapter 252 I can't assassinate? You try it if you can!

"The Sand Village would actually help Konoha so sincerely?"

"Perhaps they had no other choice?"

"It's already good enough that Konoha didn't ask them for compensation; it's only right that they send troops to help!"

After finishing the drawing and leaving, Akabane glanced at the comments section outside the door.

People have different attitudes toward the three people from Sunagakure who came to their aid in the manga, but what they have in common is that the ninjas and ordinary people of Konoha all harbor great hatred toward Sunagakure.

this is normal.

Although Sunagakure has not launched a large-scale direct war against Konoha, their methods of picking off enemies and launching sneak attacks during the war have made many countries dissatisfied.

Konoha is naturally one of them. In the previous war, Kazami Hatake even wiped out an elite ninja squad of the enemy. The two sides have a long history of hatred.

Akabane glanced at them a few times, noting that only a handful of them discussed One Piece, and one of them was presumably written by Sakumo.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea? A high-level force in One Piece? I'm kind of looking forward to it."

The Naruto manga is so popular that most people's attention has been drawn to Naruto.

How miserable!

However, he didn't feel much about it; any comic that could earn points was a good comic.

With his points increasing over the past two days, Akabane casually added two points to the non-integer fractions of his mental strength, bringing it to 170 points.

According to the original plan, the tests should have been held in the last two days.

However, due to the previous need to prevent enemy attacks and now the need to conduct interrogations, Akabane was unable to free up his hands for the time being.

The Dark Division originally planned to use illusion magic to hypnotize the two and make them relax their resistance, thereby obtaining the memories in their minds. However, it was clear that their illusion magic skills were not up to that level.

So in the end, they had no choice but to ask Akabane for help.

Kurosuki Okazawa and Minazuki had very strong ninja wills. Even when he took action, it took a lot of effort, including hypnosis and entering their dreams...

It took more than an hour to finally succeed.

"Uncle in the mountains, what exactly do they remember?"

Akabane asked.

After sorting through his memories, Yamanaka Kazuhiro said after a long while, "It seems that the Land of Water has developed a division because of the manga."

"Oh?"

Akabane was somewhat curious.

Can a comic book alone cause a division in the Land of Water?

That's way too easy.

"The daimyo side believes that manga is beneficial to the economic development of the Land of Water, making the Land of Water stronger than before. Therefore, from the daimyo's perspective, they are willing to accept the arrival of manga and foreign people."

Kazuhiro Yamanaka said, "But the Mizukage believes that the manga has brought turmoil and made the Land of Water unstable. They believe that the manga should be banned, or even its source should be eliminated."

"That's really Kirigakure's style..."

Akabane seemed to be deep in thought.

"Furthermore, it seems that Minazuki intends to side with the daimyo, which is information extracted from his memories."

Yamanaka Kazuhiro highlighted the key points, then took out an information scroll. He was going to write down all of this and submit it to Danzo, and the information he would submit would definitely be more than what he had said.

He himself might overlook some details, while Danzo often grasps the details and analyzes them in depth.

"Minazuki... has he sought refuge with a daimyo?"

Akabane paused for a few seconds.

This is indeed breaking news, but upon closer analysis, it's not surprising. Just as the daimyo of the Land of Fire wanted to control a portion of the ninja, the daimyo of the Land of Water probably recruited the Mizuki clan for the same purpose.

However, in a sense, the cooperation and opposition between the country and the ninja village is like that between an emperor and his ministers and soldiers. Those who choose the wrong side may face retribution in the future.

"Yes, but there is a division within their clan. Some people think that joining the daimyo will lead to their destruction, just like in the manga, while others believe that continuing to follow the Mizukage will also lead to that outcome."

Yamanaka Kazuhiro wrote and talked at the same time.

This information was obtained from the Minazuki clansman, so it is highly credible.

It's still the comic's fault...

Akabane felt somewhat ashamed. It was indeed not his intention to make the Land of Water so chaotic, but this outcome seemed not bad, since it wasn't his own territory that was in chaos.

Not long after, Yamanaka Kazuhiro wrote down all the key memories from his interrogation, describing them in great detail without a single error.

After finishing writing, he handed the scroll to Akabane. Not for Akabane to see, but for him to pass on to Danzo so that Danzo could review and analyze it.

Danzo is very busy.

His files pile up like mountains every day, and he reads them from morning till night, so he probably doesn't have much time to rest.

Akabane felt terrified every time he entered his office—with this kind of workload, he'd go bald sooner or later!

"Ok?"

Danzo noticed the door was open and glanced over with his remaining eye. Seeing that it was Akabane, he buried his head in his work and continued processing the information.

"Teacher, this is the memory information that was just extracted from me."

Akabane placed it on the table.

Danzo nodded, not looking at it, but focusing on the scroll in his hand.

After reading it, he pondered for a long time before handing it to Akabane.

This is an information scroll from Sunagakure. It was originally sealed with a sealing technique, but now the sealing technique has been broken, and people can see the text on it.

Akabane didn't want to take it, but couldn't suppress his curiosity, and eventually took it to look at it.

I glanced at it briefly...

His expression grew increasingly strange.
