I'm drawing manga in Naruto

“This matter is definitely related to Zetsu. At that time, I sensed that his aura overlapped with that of Shamon, so it can be confirmed that he has the ability to control others.”

Akabane replied.

Kouki listened attentively without offering any opinion.

He had been away from the mission for a while and knew very little about these confidential matters. In addition, he was preoccupied with his son and didn't have any particularly useful thoughts.

"Yes, Shamon is probably being controlled by them, or... he may already be dead. Their next move will likely be aimed at Konoha."

The third generation spoke in a heavy tone, saying that after Zetsu's plan went wrong, it wouldn't be difficult to guess what would happen next.

However, it was useless; these were all overt schemes.

So what if you knew?

Konoha's forceful rescue of the Uzumaki clan would inevitably displease Kirigakure and Kumogakure. On the other hand, Kumogakure, as the second strongest ninja village, had long coveted Konoha's position.

War could break out at any moment.

The trigger was Shamen.

He went through all of this in his mind again, but couldn't come up with a solution. In the end, the Third Kazekage sighed and said, "Now we can only hope that the Third Kazekage can calm down a bit."

But is it possible?

Being young and impetuous, as a village leader, his immaturity could very well lead to the destruction of the entire village.

“They can plot against us, but we can still announce Madara’s news and let the entire ninja world know that Madara is not dead and has awakened the Rinnegan.”

After pondering for a moment, Gekko Yukiho said.

"It's no use. Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. No one will believe us."

The third generation shook their heads.

He had discussed this plan with Danzo long ago, but ultimately did not choose to implement it.

Announcing the news in a short period of time would not only fail to convince anyone, but might also change Zetsu and Madara's attitudes, which would not be good for Konoha.

"It all depends on what Sunagakure thinks."

……

Sand Hidden Village.

A group of people sat together, but the atmosphere was incredibly heavy.

The second-generation Kage was abducted from the village, and they didn't even see the abductor's shadow, let alone know what methods or means the abductor used.

This is the most shameful thing in the history of Sunagakure, bar none.

Suna was furious, yet incredibly calm, a contradiction indeed.

Beside him, Ebizo read from a document: "We found traces of the Leaf Village's secret technique, the Crescent Moon Dance, on the corpses of ninjas at the border..."

"Elder, we've studied these things several times, it must have been Konoha who did it."

A Jonin angrily said.

Chiyo looked at Sunako without offering her opinion.

"Lord Kazekage, we cannot let Konoha go. We must make the Konoha Moon Clan give us an explanation."

"Yes, we can't let the Moonlight Clan get away with this."

The other Jonin were angrily shouting.

"enough!"

Suna slammed his fist on the table in anger, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone.

"Lord Kazekage, I think Shamon is very likely to have been controlled by someone. The way the other party took him away was as if he had vanished into thin air. From this point of view, Konoha, which possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, is very suspicious."

Chiyo stood up, bowed, and finally expressed her thoughts.

"Elder Chiyo, please continue."

Sha Jie nodded in acknowledgment.

He could tell that Chiyo clearly had a different opinion, and there was definitely a "but" at the end.

"But everyone knows from the Moonlight Clan's ability to infiltrate that if he wanted to assassinate Shamen, it would be impossible for him to expose his whereabouts at the border."

Chiyo glanced around, then took a deep breath. "I suspect that a third party is instigating us to start a war with Konoha."

In an instant, the whole place was silent.

The Jonin exchanged glances. They already had a grudge against Konoha, and all the clues pointed to Konoha. With the addition of some "manga elements," they immediately suspected Konoha.

In fact, if it weren't for the mention of "Flying Thunder God" in the manga, no one would have known that Konoha possessed such a terrifying space-time ninjutsu.

However, Konoha did not ban manga.

Given that everyone is aware of this, it is also possible that this is a deliberate frame-up by a "third party," and the premise of the existence of a "third party" seems equally plausible.

"But who would do that?"

"My personal guess is that it might be some organization similar to 'Akatsuki' that is eager for war and even hopes that our villages will use their Jinchuriki so that they can wipe us out in one fell swoop."

Only then did Ebizo reveal his analysis.

In fact, Chiyo's words were also things he discussed and advised her on.

Logically speaking, these are perfectly explainable.

The Jonin nodded in agreement, pondered for a moment, and then remained puzzled.

If that's the case, why hold this meeting? Shouldn't we find the real culprit as soon as possible?

"Elder, I understand what you mean... I see!"

Sunako's eyes lit up, and he understood what Ebizo and Chiyo meant.

They can take the monk away silently. How long would it take to find him?

You need to put bait on the hook for the fish to bite.

Besides, who knows, we might even gain some benefits from Konoha through this matter, so why not?

Chapter 285 Yet another one sinking into the world of comics...

"Jiraiya, stop staring at that bird all day."

"You even peek at birds taking a bath. Can't you have any humanity?"

"..."

A group of people grabbed Jiraiya outside the small room and kicked him violently. Jiraiya begged for mercy repeatedly and finally scrambled up to the deck.

Once he was far away, he defiantly declared, "I was observing Devil Fruit abilities and studying the art of alien creatures. Do you even know what art is?"

"The art of seeing ghosts."

Everyone rolled their eyes, but as they said that, an insect silently flew in, while the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, the dogs of the Inuzuka family, and others were all secretly watching.

After eating the Human-Human Fruit, the sea swallow gradually mastered some of its abilities after a day of adaptation.

It has begun to transform into a "human".

Not only that, judging from her transformed appearance, she is a "female" bird-woman, which is why Jiraiya was so eager to peek at her.

But what truly shocked everyone was its origin.

A strange bird inexplicably appeared on their ship and slowly began to transform into human form...

"Jiraiya, stop staring at that bird all day!"

Just then, a girl's voice rang out.

"I did not see!"

Jiraiya was completely innocent; he was already on the deck, how could he possibly be peeking?

"The art of seeing ghosts."

At this time, another voice sounded.

They exchanged glances and then pointed inside the house.

It's this bird.

It's learning to talk like us!

Of course, many summoning beasts can do just talk, but the next second, the Hyuga clan ninja saw the bird flying around inside the house and then using its "strange" wings to open the door.

Crack...

The door is opened.

Without a doubt, Haiyan was caught again.

Although it possesses high intelligence, it clearly lacks ninjutsu abilities; a mere binding technique would be enough to subdue it.

They locked the bird up again, and even added a cage with a sealing spell.

A group of people gathered together to discuss.

There is no doubt that Devil Fruits do exist in the wild, so Bat Fruits may also exist in the world.

Jiraiya still appears carefree, but a new thought has crept into his mind.

He had read the comics and knew very well what power the Bat Fruit possessed—immortality!

Even if others may not know about the ability, they may not be able to resist the temptation of the Devil Fruit. He must be extremely careful when he gets his hands on it and not let any outsiders or even creatures get close to the fruit.

Akabane is unaware of what happened at sea.

However, the shadow clone had made thorough preparations for the aftermath of consuming the Human-Human Fruit.

The illusion technique goes beyond simply manipulating it to eat the fruit; it also alters parts of its memory, making it believe that it ate a Devil Fruit on some island.

Even if it possesses advanced intelligence, it will still firmly believe in its memories from its beastly days. However, those memories are chaotic and unclear, and even the mountain tribes cannot uncover the truth.

Akabane wasn't worried about that at all; he was more concerned about something else.

Sand Hidden Village.

What will those people do?

Chiyo and Ebizo are not lacking in wisdom, and Akabane will not underestimate them, but for the ninja village, the truth is often not important, and many times interests outweigh the truth of the matter.

Whether Sunagakure will declare war is unknown, and whether it can be stopped once it is declared is also not up to Konoha.

As a member of Konoha, Akabane was very worried.

But I was only worried for a few seconds...

There's no point in overthinking this; the decision still rests with Sunagakure. If they really attack, Konoha certainly won't be afraid.

As for Madara, at worst we can exchange for the Rinnegan too. If you summon the Gedo Mazo, I'll summon it back.

When it comes to chakra, there's a whole village here, are you afraid we can't beat Madara?

There is absolutely no need to worry.

Therefore, there's no need to overthink it.

Akabane took the wooden carving and prepared to go talk to Kosuke about the figurine.

The carving of this wood carving is so skillful that it's almost perfect. The only problem is with the coloring, which affects the overall aesthetic appeal. However, this has nothing to do with Kosuke; it's just that the Uchiha people did the coloring haphazardly.

His trip was to discuss a collaboration with Kosuke on making figurines.

Kosuke Maruboshi was once Tobirama Senju's subordinate and received guidance from him, learning many secret techniques.

Therefore, although he was only a genin, his strength and status were not low. Even Akabane could not force him, and could only try to negotiate with him.

If the other party does not agree, he will have no choice but to give up.

Kosuke lived in the commoners' area of ​​the village, so his house was easy to find. It wasn't far from Might Guy's place, but Guy was definitely not home. Akabane didn't go to his place to check, and went straight to Kosuke's place.

When Akabane arrived at his residence, he saw a man practicing with a sword.

Kosuke's attire is very ordinary, and he always carries a large pot on his back—usually, he is the one in the team who cooks and prepares food.

However, he noticed Akabane as soon as he appeared.
