I'm drawing manga in Naruto

At the same time, another effect of mental power is...

Perception has been further enhanced.

In the forest, Akabane could sense subtle changes in chakra coming from the comic book shop, including a change in the chakra aura of an acquaintance—Uchiha En.

His aura was subtly different; it seemed to have become stronger.

Driven by curiosity, Akabane arrived outside the comic book shop.

Uchiha En didn't leave.

It seems she waited for him here on purpose until he arrived.

Akabane pondered for a moment, then walked over and asked, "Has something happened to the Uchiha clan?"

"No, thanks to your report, not only are we safe and sound, but we've also gained several more members of our clan with the three-comma-level skills."

A slight smile appeared on Uchiha En's face, and then he made a gesture to walk in the other direction.

That's the direction the Uchiha clan is heading.

Akabane followed, and after a few steps, Uchiha En suddenly said, "Do you know Uchiha Kagami?"

"Lord Kagami? All I know is that he was a member of the Uchiha clan recognized by the Second Hokage. He was extremely strong and even had the potential to become the next Hokage, but unfortunately, he died in the great battle while covering the retreat."

Akabane said.

The idea that he could become Hokage was just a polite way of putting it; even if Uchiha Kagami had survived, he would never have become Hokage.

"Yes, he was indeed an outstanding person. If he had survived... to be honest, I was one of those who joined the Second Generation's ranks with Kagami back then."

Uchiha En sighed.

"Oh?"

Akabane raised an eyebrow.

You even fought alongside the second generation to build your empire? I had no idea!

"However, I am not good at it. When I went to the battlefield, I only had two tomoe. In addition, I was worried about my family, so I did not firmly follow him."

"It wasn't until the news of Kagami's death that I awakened the Three-Tomoe... After experiencing all that recently, seeing your manga today made me think, we must not let such a tragedy happen to our descendants, especially Kagami's children."

Uchiha En couldn't hear what he was thinking and kept talking to himself.

"Could it be that……"

He hadn't finished speaking, but Akabane already guessed what the other person wanted to say.

“King Akabane, this is just a small token of my gratitude.”

Uchiha En took an item from his waist.

Akabane stared intently for a moment.

A scroll.

"what is this?"

"I heard that you also obtained the Great Fireball Technique through some channels. It is a more powerful Fire Release ninjutsu than the Great Fireball Technique."

Uchiha En said.

"This is your family's ninjutsu. It's not appropriate. You should put it away."

Akabane was tempted for a second or two, then decisively refused.

Fire Release techniques usually require exhaling through the mouth, and during practice, the highly concentrated chakra can burn the mouth.

For example, Sasuke practiced so frequently in the manga that he eventually burned his mouth.

Fire Release ninjutsu isn't very difficult; you can just switch to it when it appears in the manga, but learning it in real life...

Sorry, I don't have that kind of courage!

"Well... alright, just let me know if you need my help. As for my good-for-nothing child, please take good care of him as well."

Sensing Akabane's reluctance, Uchiha En put away the scroll and decided to find another gift.

"It's nothing."

Akabane waved his hand, but didn't say anything hypocritical like that he hadn't made any contributions.

Uchiha En left.

He seemed happy, but also melancholy—for their clan, the process of awakening the Sharingan was not pleasant.

Besides the Uchiha, another clan was also having a difficult time.

Hyuga family.

They are quite distressed now. Ever since Akabane's manga became increasingly popular, they have watched the Uchiha clan go from being ostracized to being integrated into Konoha, and now...

The Uchiha clan's strength did not decline due to internal strife; on the contrary, it surpassed that of the past.

Thankfully, I don't have to fight with the Uchiha anymore!

Hinata Shinza sighed softly.

This day was not peaceful for many in the village. The Konoha leadership was dealing with matters on the ground, while the Uchiha clan was dealing with internal ideological issues, and other clans were busy gathering intelligence on the Uchiha.

However, the attitude of ordinary villagers towards the Uchiha clan seemed to improve considerably all of a sudden.

Originally, everyone thought Itachi was a hateful character, but now everyone understands that he is a flesh-and-blood older brother who loves his younger brother very much.

The Uchiha clan is just as loving and understands love, and their love is stronger than anyone else's!

After reading the entire manga, the Uchiha clan may emerge as the biggest winner.

That day, Akabane didn't sleep very well.

He dreamt that his Sharingan was exposed, Madara came to him to gouge out his eyes, and Zetsu said that he was the most suitable person to rule the world and that he should support him to become the king of the ninja world.

Although it was a dream, he had a somewhat uneasy feeling, especially since today was the day the special training ended and the test was about to begin.

After thinking for a long time, Akabane decided to get up and go to training.

Regardless, the test still needs to be taken.

With the Flying Thunder God in hand, there's not much to be afraid of. We can't stay in the village forever, can we?

However, it's necessary to be careful.

Meanwhile, at the preparatory training ground.

The genin trained as usual, and what they looked forward to most was today's test. After the test, they would become official reserve ninjas—at least that's what they thought.

In the shadows, a black shadow slowly emerged from the ground before quickly disappearing back into it.

Not here.

He lay hidden in the earth, pondering his next move.

Konoha has Mito Uzumaki. Although he has absolute confidence in his abilities, he will not set foot in the village unless absolutely necessary to prevent any accidents.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed the presence of a presence.

A very strong aura!

Black Zetsu searched in the shadows and soon found the source of the aura.

A ninja who was a little over thirteen years old looked quite mature; you couldn't tell from his appearance that he had such a strong chakra aura.

This guy's aura suddenly appeared... Konoha, it must be the Flying Thunder God Technique!

"Akaba, will the test proceed as scheduled today?"

Ryosuke Shiranui was unaware of Black Zetsu's presence. Upon seeing Akabane finally appear, he immediately came over to inquire about today's arrangements.

"Okay, as usual."

Akabane nodded.

If the test isn't finished, today's trip will have been a waste.

"Is he Kurama Akabane?"

Black Zetsu was shocked.

Has the Kurama clan invented some forbidden drug that produced such a strong bloodline limit awakener?

Akabane didn't notice anything yet, but when he summoned the little Baku and had it use a secret technique to channel his spiritual power, he sensed a subtle difference.

There was something strange about it, as if someone was secretly watching us.

For a fleeting moment, he sensed something was slightly off, but that strange feeling vanished instantly.

That's for sure, someone was watching him just now!

Akabane frowned slightly and glanced at the place he sensed.

Nothing had changed, and there was no one there. He wouldn't doubt his senses. So, was that Black Zetsu who was there just now?

In fact, Black Zetsu had already changed positions the moment he sensed it.

"What amazing perception! I almost got exposed!"

Chapter 258 Akabane, shouldering the future of Konoha

"Is this a summoning beast, a dream-eating beast?"

Black Zetsu watched quietly from the side.

No wonder... such a foolish and troublesome creature as the dream tapir...

Generally speaking, his ability to conceal himself is impossible to detect. However, he was too careless and did not consider the Dream Eater's secret technique. In addition, his emotions fluctuated slightly, which led Akabane to notice his presence.

However, if the positions are switched in an instant, this guy definitely won't care.

Black Zetsu stared into the distance, quietly observing Akabane and the genin's every move. After a few glances, it seemed to be just a boring genin training session.

With this level of skill, he's in charge of training genin?

Black Zetsu stared for a moment, then took out a manga. In order to get to Konoha as soon as possible, he had only read half of it, so he could observe while reading the manga.

Anyway, with his abilities, multitasking isn't a problem for him.

Training ground in the distance.

Akabane frowned slightly. He felt something was off, but he couldn't sense anything.

It must be Black Zetsu!

Regardless of whether it is true or not, he's made up his mind. But since he can't find Black Zetsu right now, he can only ignore him for the time being, pretending he doesn't exist. But as long as he finds him...

Akabane pondered for a moment, then gave the others a wink, before forming hand seals to unleash an illusion—in fact, he no longer needed to form hand seals to use the Illusion Game.

These markings are just coded messages, telling others to be careful and on guard.

Are there enemies?

Ryosuke Shiranui frowned slightly. He then saw Akabane use a coded signal to tell them to remain still and be ready to wake the students and lead them to retreat at any time.

what's the situation……

He didn't quite understand, but as a veteran of the battlefield, he knew that regardless of whether he understood or not, as long as the decision from above was correct, he should just follow the instructions.

Such as now.

People in the illusion are defenseless. In case of an accident, waking them up and covering their evacuation would be the most appropriate emergency plan.

The illusion was released, and a group of people were pulled into the illusion.

Black Zetsu, standing some distance away, was stunned. What kind of move was it to unleash such a large-scale genjutsu on a genin?

It seems to be a kind of training.

Black Zetsu paused for a few seconds, and after careful consideration, he began to guess the possible effects of this technique.

A group of genin, who are also on the same side, would never use offensive ninjutsu, so it can only be used for training.

Using illusion magic for training is indeed a bizarre idea...

"What a foolish thing to do, but it's not bad to have such an interesting fellow appear in the long run."

Black Zetsu put away the comic book in his hand and prepared to leave.
