I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Akabane put it away.

Kosuke shook his head and said nothing.

Then, the shadow clone returned, bringing back a lot of food such as mushrooms and bamboo shoots. It put down the large pot, lit a campfire, and started cooking.

Halfway through cooking, Kosuke continued, "Child, are you saying that Jonin have power, but they also have to be at the forefront and the first to sacrifice themselves, while Genin..."

"Genin are the future of Konoha. They belong to a protected class, at least... that's what the Second Hokage meant."

Akabane said.

Why did Tobirama Senju establish the Ninja Academy?

The original intention was actually to keep children away from war.

After all, most of his brothers died in the war when they were young, and neither Tobirama Senju nor Hashirama Senju wanted to repeat the same mistake.

In the manga, Kosuke is incredibly strong, but like Naruto, he is a genin. So, under the command of a jonin, while everyone else is sacrificed or killed, he and Naruto remain safe.

of course.

This is also because Naruto and Kosuke are strong, but in terms of the priority of sacrifice, genin are in a lower position.

Kosuke understood this, which is why he began to doubt whether his actions were correct—was being a genin for life really the way to atone for his sins?

Chapter 289 Immortality? At least finish reading the plot!

"Come and help me out."

A snake emerged from Akabane's sleeve; this was a snake clone that Orochimaru had arranged beforehand, primarily for communication and seeking help.

Despite Orochimaru spending this time in the laboratory, his strength hasn't diminished at all, and has even improved considerably, thanks to the various bizarre ninjutsu he's used.

Ordinary enemies can be dealt with on their own without needing to call for help.

It has come to the point where a distress signal needs to be sent out...

Akabane didn't have time to think and said to Kosuke, "Senior, I'm going to provide support first. Please be careful."

"Do not worry."

Kosuke nodded slightly.

He had dealt with members of the Evil God Cult before. Although they were strong, their attack methods were very limited. As long as ninjas of Chunin level or above were careful, they would not be in any danger.

Moreover, he was no ordinary ninja.

The next second, the Flying Thunder God Technique was activated, and Akabane arrived next to Orochimaru.

"Hahaha, feel the power of the evil god! Oh, right... we also have to thank Kurama Akabane from your village. If it weren't for him, how could the evil god have bestowed upon us invincible power ahead of schedule?"

Not far away, a member of the Jashin cult was covered in evil markings, and his feet were painted with patterns similar to Hidan's.

Behind him, another cultist was hiding.

"One of them is immortal, and the other is very fast and has healing abilities. We have no way to kill them."

Orochimaru quickly exchanged information.

Akabane nodded slightly, understanding in his heart.

This lineup is indeed too strong for Orochimaru and the other ninjas skilled in reconnaissance, ninjutsu, and taijutsu to kill. To kill these people, we need to start from other aspects.

Illusion, or sealing magic.

Moreover, the opponent has already obtained the blood of a certain Konoha ninja and will soon be able to activate the technique.

At this moment...

Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Body Flicker Technique for speed.

My feet hurt!

With a deafening roar, the explosive impact completely destroyed the drawn pattern.

Death is determined by blood, and the solution is found.

"So that's how it's cracked?"

Orochimaru understood that if he had known this method earlier, he wouldn't have needed to call Akabane over; he could have completed the operation himself.

This is the role of intelligence.

"Damn it, you bastard, die..."

The immortal cultist shouted.

His outfit looked familiar; Akabane vaguely remembered seeing him at the previous Fake Devil Fruit Tournament, and his weapon was also a replica of Hidan's scythe.

In terms of appearance, he's practically a carbon copy of Hidan.

However, as he looked into his own eyes, the illusion was already activated.

"Akaba, spare his life."

Orochimaru immediately called out to stop them.

Immortal and indestructible, is there anything in the world more suitable as a test subject than this guy?

It would be such a shame if it were destroyed like this.

"Don't worry, you won't die."

With the help of the Kurama clan's bloodline limit, Naraku easily killed his opponent, overwhelming him with his mental power.

To some extent, the result of turning the unreal into reality was that the cult member's body was dismembered and could not be reattached, but he did not die immediately, and each limb was struggling.

At the same time, he was shouting and cursing wildly.

As for the other one...

Unlike his companions, his fate was tragic; he aged dozens of times in an instant—after the evil god's chakra was exhausted, his abilities would draw a considerable amount of life force.

Therefore, after escaping the illusion, he died from exhaustion of his life force.

"As soon as this ability appeared in Akabane's manga, they had already researched and developed it. The evil god cult is indeed terrifying."

Accompanying Orochimaru was Shihei Aburame, a member of the Aburame clan.

Logically, the Aburame clan's parasitic insects should be able to destroy the opponent's limbs and absorb chakra, thus achieving the effect of defeating the opponent. However, the evil god's chakra is too evil. After the parasitic insects eat it, they immediately go crazy and turn around to kill their companions.

This made him afraid to use his full strength.

"You only saw the beginning, right? I'll draw how to deal with this kind of undead later on. It's a pity your researcher didn't know that, otherwise he wouldn't have been so careless."

Akabane kicked the man's head, then looked at Orochimaru and the others.

None of these four seem to know sealing techniques...

Forget it, just be a good person to the end.

He used sealing scrolls to separate and seal the limbs, and then handed all of these sealing scrolls to Orochimaru.

In any case, Orochimaru is the only one in Konoha who needs them.

"To counter this ability, all we need to do is dismember him?"

"almost."

Akabane nodded.

As can be seen from the manga, Hidan's body was unable to move after his head was separated from his body, which is why Kakuzu had to stitch his limbs back together.

The Jashin Cult's abilities are modeled after Hidan's in the manga, so the same approach should be used to counter them.

The more Orochimaru listened, the brighter his eyes became.

The cult of evil gods... is indeed very interesting.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, which sent chills down the spines of his teammates.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go help the others."

Having come out, and finding an enemy within his perception range, Akabane didn't mind going to provide support.

Anyway, it'll only be a short while.

Teleportation over short distances doesn't consume much chakra, and with his current chakra reserves, teleporting to the marks of those around him is a piece of cake.

Before long, all the enemies discovered in this area were cleared out, with an astonishingly high efficiency.

At this rate, they could clear out the cult members in this area in just one day. The reconnaissance team deserves credit for this, but Akabane's contribution is equally significant.

Even into the night, everyone was still working—in the ninja world, nighttime was actually more convenient for movement.

Akabane is no exception.

Of course, he was working so hard just so he could go back as soon as possible.

Taking a break might feel good for a while, but if I stay here any longer, I won't be able to focus on drawing. I need to finish the task as soon as possible.

Here in Sunagakure Village.

They received news that the Land of Fire had been invaded by the evil cult that very evening.

The top leadership held an emergency meeting.

of course……

To minimize the time spent arguing, the higher-ups here did not involve the Daimyo Prefecture; only the village's Third Kazekage, Chiyo, and Ebizo were present.

"Chiyo, Ebizo, this is a message that was just transmitted directly from the Jashin Cult through our Ninja Hawk."

Suna laid out this information.

The fact that they were able to find their ninja hawks is enough to show that the evil god cult is quite capable. On the other hand... the information on them is quite important.

"The evil god cult has attacked the eastern part of the Land of Fire?"

Chiyo glanced at it, her eyes lighting up as she said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us."

"Cults of evil gods are not to be trusted."

After a moment of contemplation, Ebizo recounted the intelligence he had gathered about the Jashin Cult. As the head of the Sunagakure's ANBU, and because Sunagakure was relatively young, he wouldn't have seen much of the information immediately.

After listening carefully, Suna listened for a moment and then said, "So, the Jashin Cult's goal is to make us fight against Konoha. Could the people who murdered our teacher be from the Jashin Cult?"

"It's unlikely. I think the other party is probably in the Land of Rivers or the Amegakure area. The Evil God Cult doesn't have any manpower in this area, so the Evil God Cult just wants to use us to create bloodshed and please their 'Evil God'."

Ebizo analyzed.

Sunagakure is located in the west, and in addition to being barren, its intelligence network is relatively closed off.

Although there are many secret agents lurking outside, to be honest, a significant portion of my understanding of the evil god cult comes from Akabane's manga.

They treat comics as facts; that's exactly what they're talking about.

However, it was only after a series of analyses that Ebizo was certain that Akabane hadn't made things up; otherwise, he wouldn't have been embarrassed to say these things in front of Suna.

After a moment of contemplation, Suna said, "We must seize this opportunity. Let's launch a feigned attack on the Land of Rivers and see how Konoha reacts. If a third party appears... it's not impossible for us to join forces against the person behind it all."

Only after becoming the Wind Shadow did he come to understand some of the policies of the Shamen (Buddhist sect).

There are no absolute enemies in the world.

The Sand Village and the Leaf Village have a feud, but when they have a common enemy, they can still resolve their hatred and unite against a common foe.

"Alright, I'll give the order right away to have a Jonin lead a team to the Land of Rivers."

Ebizo did not hesitate.

The reason why the land of rivers is poor is precisely because of this.

Whenever there's a rift between Sunagakure and Konoha, they'll use this buffer zone in the middle to draw their swords and see how the other side reacts.

Black Zetsu had actually already escaped from the Land of Rivers, but Shamon's body was indeed in the Land of Rivers—Shamon had already been transformed into a half-puppet, and was basically powerless to resist Black Zetsu's possession.

This guy's goal is simply to have Madara discovered.

Initially, Black Zetsu placed his hopes on Madara, but after realizing that Madara was beyond his control, he changed his mind.

Instead of pinning our hopes on Madara, we should let him die sooner so we can obtain his Rinnegan.

In any case, Indra and Asura will continue to reincarnate...

Black Zetsu had a brilliant plan, but unfortunately, he didn't know that Madara had found another partner—Kakuzu.
