"Hello, Kosuke-senpai, my name is Kurama Akabane."

"This... I don't deserve the title of senior. I'm just a genin."

Gu Jie's expression was both gentle and flustered.

Akabane smiled and said, "I really didn't know your strength at first. I only found out about you, a master, because of this wood carving. So, senior, you don't need to hide it anymore."

As he spoke, he took out the wooden carving he had been clutching in his hand.

When Kosuke saw it, he immediately recognized it as the wood carving he had made, so he couldn't help but take it and stroke the wood grain.

However, he showed a hint of regret.

The coloring was a bit off...

"Senior, my visit to you today is also related to wood carving."

Akabane bowed respectfully and stated his purpose.

He didn't mention figurines, but instead used wood carvings. The cooperation method was equally simple: profits would be split 50/50, and adjustments could be made if anyone wasn't satisfied.

Comics are cheap, and most people can afford to buy one if they become a ninja, but figurines are a different story.

Therefore, a 50/50 split of the profits from a figurine is definitely a very high price.

Kosuke didn't answer, but stared at the wood carving for a long time before sighing, "Manga... it's really great that even wood carvings can fetch a price. Judging from your tone, the price must be quite high. It's a pity I don't have much need for money."

"Senior, everyone has a need for money. For example, you don't need money yourself, but with it you can set up a charitable foundation to support many orphans who lost their parents in the war, help families who lost their homes, and so on."

Akabane had already prepared his explanation.

Fame and fortune were unimportant to Kosuke, so he used other methods to persuade him.

Charitable foundation?

Kosuke was stunned for a moment. His talent was not top-notch, but it was not bad either. He also worked very hard, which is why he had the strength he had today.

But as for understanding things...

He thought for a long time, but in the end he stopped thinking about what the charity foundation was and instead pondered the second half of Akabane's sentence.

Helping orphans and displaced families is doing good deeds.

This is a good idea.

"In that case, you can put all my income into some kind of fund, since I don't really need the money anyway."

what?

Akabane paused for a moment.

So generous...

It doesn't seem right to take all the remaining profits for myself.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "In that case, let's set aside 70% of the total profits to establish a charitable foundation."

The remaining 30% must be distributed among the various levels; Akabane cannot make promises based on the interests of others.

Kosuke nodded in agreement, and then Akabane put down a pile of comics.

These comics were given away for free so that he could read them more and better understand the characters' spirit and personality, so that he could sculpt even more perfect figurines.

He didn't care about comics at first.

However, after flipping through it for a few seconds, Kosuke couldn't tear himself away.

The tail end of the truck...

These are familiar terms.

Among those who received attention from the second generation back then, he was considered to be at the very bottom.

Once you start reading comics, you can't stop.

Kosuke originally only planned to read one volume before continuing to practice his swordsmanship or go out to take on missions, but after reading one volume, he became more curious about the plot and continued reading.

He became even more engrossed as he watched the Land of Waves and its ending.

Comics are not just about stories, but also about the spirit of the characters.

Naruto's strength and optimism deeply moved him. His shouts seemed to echo in his heart, repeatedly touching the knot in his heart.

After watching the Chunin Exams...

Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face.

"sorry Sorry!"

He wept uncontrollably—the sins in his heart could never be redeemed.

Especially with Kosuke's personality, if the team makes a mistake, he will take the blame for many things that are not his own.

What moved him was the story of three generations dying together.

Kosuke thought of his fallen teammates, the Second Hokage who died to cover their retreat, and the many other ninjas who died in the war.

Just then, a voice rang out from not far away.

"Hey, Kosuke, how long are you going to carry this burden?!"

Kosuke looked up and saw the Third Generation standing not far away.

He opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't know what to say.

Do we need him?

But what can I do? What if I give orders too hastily and greedily, causing problems for everyone...?

Before he could think further, the Third Hokage continued to scold him: "Everyone makes mistakes, I make mistakes too, but to be a genin for life just because of one mistake, do you think you're worthy of your teacher's training? Did he only want you to do these kinds of missions?"

"not me……"

Kosuke wanted to refute, but when he looked down and saw the peaceful and content expression on the face of the "Third Generation" as he faced death, he was speechless for a moment.

Yes.

In the manga, the Third Hokage's mistake was letting Orochimaru go.

"If you really feel guilty and sorry for your former teammates, then make up for your mistakes and use your rich experience to save more people in war and missions, instead of being a genin for the rest of your life."

The third generation said loudly.

He had wanted to say these words for a long time, but he was always afraid that Kosuke would harbor resentment. Now that Kosuke was moved by the story of the manga, it was the perfect opportunity to persuade him.

"Konoha is at a critical juncture, and Konoha needs you."

"A critical period?"

Kosuke paused for a moment, then looked up at the Third Generation.

Then, the Third Hokage recounted the events involving Sunagakure and Madara. Kosuke's expression changed drastically, and he struggled with his thoughts.

He vowed to always be a subjugator.

but……

He also felt that Konoha really needed him at the moment.

No, what Konoha needs is not a genin like Kosuke, but a jonin with command abilities.

He opened his mouth, but finally said, "I... I'll think about it some more..."

"it is good."

The third generation sensed that he wasn't as resolute as before.

This is a good thing.

Originally, I just wanted to use the telescope technique to see what Akabane was doing, but I didn't expect to find that Akabane came to see Kosuke, so I came over to check.

If Akabane can resolve Kosuke's inner conflict, he will have done a great service—even if the kid himself probably doesn't know what his contribution is.

The third generation has left.

Kosuke sat on the ground, pondering what he had just said.

"Think about it again, think about it again..."

Chapter 286 Danzo: Hiruzen, your son is dead!

Akabane was not unaware that he was being followed; possessing sensory perception and Observation Haki, the Third Hokage's Telescope Technique could no longer evade his senses.

However, there's nothing worth hiding about what he did, so let the third generation see it if they want.

of course.

The fact that the next three generations came on their own was indeed beyond his expectations.

Back at the comic shop, he thought about it carefully and realized it wasn't surprising at all.

Kosuke is indeed very strong.

Although he is only a Jonin-level ninja now, his strength and combat experience are among the best in Konoha at present, but his mental resilience is a bit poor.

Heart disease also requires heart medicine.

In the manga, Kosuke was haunted by the events of that year for the rest of his life, unable to escape the nightmare of causing the death of his teammates.

I hope things will change in this lifetime.

Akabane sat down and thought about the plot for a moment.

The One Piece arc is finished today, officially concluding the Skypiea arc. After that, we'll have to go through a rather boring stretch of story before we get to Franky's part...

Water City arc.

This is a very exciting part of the story in One Piece.

Most importantly, in this part of the story, after CP0 appears, it will bring out the abilities of the Six Powers of the Navy, as well as very powerful fruits such as the Slow-Slow Fruit, the Ice-Ice Fruit, and the Door-Door Fruit.

Their ability to make an appearance in this segment is quite strong.

Putting aside the Devil Fruit, the sheer power of the Navy's Six Powers, if integrated into Konoha's taijutsu, would greatly enhance Konoha's strength.

Especially when combined with the Eight Gates Formation.

Hopefully, Dai can master...

Akabane felt a surge of excitement. With the Eight Gates, the Ox-Ox Fruit, and the Six Powers of the Navy, and the addition of Armament Haki and other techniques, he would become even more powerful.

There were many people coming and going at the comic book store today.

The encounter between Sasuke and Sai has captivated many readers, who eagerly rush to buy the manga as soon as it's updated.

However, it seems that what everyone is concerned about is not Sasuke and Sai.

Naruto has actually started practicing Wind Release: Chakra Nature Transformation.

to be frank.

Although Naruto is very strong and seems to have great talent, people still have the impression that he is not good at it, and that his only skills are Shadow Clone Jutsu and Rasengan.

But mastering the nature transformation of Wind Release is a different story.

By mastering chakra nature transformation, Naruto can master a series of wind-style ninjutsu, greatly enhancing his fighting style and abilities.

not only that.

Using shadow clones to accelerate cultivation was a method that no one had previously thought of.

Although the Third Hokage later devised this method based on Akabane's ideas, due to the inherent characteristics of the Shadow Clone Jutsu, he did not reveal this method publicly. Instead, he only disclosed the secret that Shadow Clone Jutsu could accelerate training speed to the Chunin and Jonin levels.

therefore……

With the release of this book, many people have tried this method of using shadow clones in conjunction with cultivation.

As a result, the number of patients at the hospital increased significantly that day.

Akabane stated that he would not take the blame for this—he had already clearly stated the side effects and requirements of shadow clone training in the manga, but some people would still do stupid things, so what could he do?

Fools are beyond redemption.

However, the points earned in the past two days have decreased significantly. On the one hand, the number of missions has increased, and on the other hand, the Second Kazekage of Sunagakure has gone missing, and war is imminent. Many Jonin have gone on missions to monitor the movements of the Land of Wind.

The number of people has decreased significantly.
