I'm drawing manga in Naruto

"Heh, I am not Hiruzen, nor am I a member of the Hyuga clan. Battlefield combat is commonplace for me. Not to mention that Sakumo is my disciple, this was a case where Sunagakure struck first, and the order came from my side. If she wants Sakumo's life, she should ask the sword in my hand first."

Danzo sneered.

Peace talks?

Konoha has the upper hand, so why should they hand over their own people as a concession? If Sunagakure is unwilling to negotiate, then let's fight. Fight until the part of the Land of Rivers' forces are wiped out, and Sunagakure will basically be finished too.

He didn't believe Chiyo was so stubborn as to drag Sunagakure down with her.

“I heard that Sunagakure has been researching the Reincarnation Technique. If she develops that forbidden technique, the chances of her accepting the conditions are higher... Hmm, if all else fails, Konoha can help with the research.”

Akabane thought for a moment, and then came up with another more plausible condition.

"Okay, you can help keep things under control later, to prevent Madara and Black Zetsu from attacking. Also, I'd like to hand over the matters with the Anbu to you..."

After Danzo finished speaking, he slowly walked towards the Anbu.

"Teacher, it's urgent. I'll take you with me using the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Akabane suggested.

Danzo's face stiffened, then he shook his head and refused. He was probably not compatible with the Flying Thunder God Technique. He had already experienced it once, and there was no need for him to try it a second time.

Akabane felt a little regretful.

It wasn't that he was particularly enthusiastic, but since Danzo wouldn't use the Flying Thunder God Technique, he couldn't very well fly to the Anbu alone first, so he had to walk alongside him.

It is a great pity to have a treasure mountain but not be able to make use of it.

When Akabane went to the Anbu with Danzo, Danzo explained some important matters concerning the Anbu and assigned Akabane which areas of information he had to handle himself and which could be delegated to his deputy, Aburame Otone.

Is this assigning homework?

It must be said that this teacher has a very deep understanding of his students.

Because of the restrictions on what needed to be done personally, Akabane had no choice but to come to work every day...

Insidious and cunning!

As a disciple, one could only agree with tears in one's eyes.

Akabane reviewed some important information from before, then had a simple lunch with Danzo around noon, and afterwards saw his teacher off.

It's really a good thing that we don't have to go to the front lines.

Although he needs help with matters concerning the Dark Side, he can have his clone handle that task.

Shadow Clone Technique: The most powerful creation that will change the ninja world!

If it weren't for the Shadow Clones, Naruto wouldn't have had the strength he possessed later on, and I wouldn't have had the time to slack off.

even though……

In the end, all fatigue will return to its original state, but at least during the time I was lazy, I was happy.

Then, a shadow clone appeared.

With Akabane's strength, he can currently maintain five shadow clones working for an extended period. After instructing the clones to complete the information processing here, he returned to the comic shop, leaving four clones behind.

Sand Hidden Village.

Madara and Black Zetsu used a ritual to gather chakra with the help of Sunagakure, and then worked together to summon the sealed Ten-Tails' husk. Afterwards, they decisively transferred the Ten-Tails to the previous cave.

The cave, expanded by the Earth Release ninjutsu, was now much larger than before, and deep within the cave stood a giant wooden statue in a strange posture.

"The Demonic Statue of Heretics, this is the Demonic Statue of Heretics!"

His eyes were intense.

Madara indeed sensed a powerful force emanating from it. If the power of the Nine-Tails were gathered together and the Ten-Tails were restored, what immense power would that be?

No wonder the stone tablet records that gathering all the materials can complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Black Zetsu lowered his head and said, "Legend has it that the Gedo Mazo possesses unfathomable abilities, but unfortunately I know very little about it and cannot help you in any way."

"It's alright, your role isn't in these areas. You can go and investigate Takigakure, and it would be best if you could bring out the Seven-Tails."

Ban didn't care.

He will seal Black Zetsu once he has collected all the tailed beasts. For now, it's a waste to make use of him, so it doesn't matter how much he jumps around.

but……

Black Zetsu's statement is probably somewhat untrue.

As Madara's Whisper-Whisper Fruit abilities continue to improve, he can now not only hear intense emotional fluctuations, but also clearly discern the subtle emotions implied in words.

He thought for a moment, then added, "Oh, right, I was reading a manga from the Land of Fire today, and Kurama Akabane mentioned a creature called White Zetsu among the Gedo Mazos..."

"Ok?"

Black Zetsu's eyelids twitched, but he wasn't particularly surprised.

White Zetsu had appeared before; the "Zetsu" in the manga is actually Black Zetsu possessing White Zetsu, forming a black and white Zetsu form, but...

What does Ban mean by mentioning this?

That brat Akabane, what nonsense has he been spouting in his latest manga!

"The Gedo Statue contains 100,000 White Zetsu, or is it generated through some special means...?"

Ban seemed to be talking to himself.

He slowly approached the Outer Path Demon Statue, seemingly observing the situation inside, but in reality, his mind was entirely focused on Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu's emotional fluctuations and subtle movements were all detected by his Devil Fruit ability.

Ten thousand White Zetsu!

Black Zetsu felt a little panicked. Those White Zetsu were created by "Mother" back then, so how did that brat Kurama Akabane know about them?

What exactly does that kid know?

It was truly an unlucky year, and each time it was related to Kurama Akabane. At this moment, he only regretted that his "mother" had not left him any physical form or cultivation methods. Otherwise, he would not have needed to hesitate and could have simply stormed Konoha and killed Akabane with a single palm strike.

Such a panicked state of mind; it seems there really is something going on...

A warning bell rang loudly in Ban's heart.

That bastard is lying again. His motives are definitely not pure. He even dares to say he doesn't know anything about the heretical demon statue!

However, Black Zetsu's temperament is indeed excellent.

Even though Madara bypassed him this time and had the people of Sunagakure bring the manga ahead of time, he only panicked for a moment before recovering and immediately said, "I don't know either, but the Gedo Mazo is very mysterious. Perhaps there really is a creature like White Zetsu parasitizing it."

"Yes, if there really are White Zetsu, then implementing our plan will be much easier."

Ban looked completely trusting.

Black Zetsu naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

However, he harbored some suspicions about Madara—Madara Uchiha probably never trusted him from beginning to end.

If I don't hold back, when the Ten-Tails gather, it will be my time to die. But dealing with Madara is not so easy. Do I really have to kill Madara and wait for Indra's next reincarnation?

Sigh, why didn't my mother save some strength for me back then!

Chapter 346 Seeking Peace? Sakumo Must Die!

"Eight Gates Formation... Ah, I'm so envious."

When the new book came out, the most envious were the ordinary children who knew Dai and the other three ordinary children. Before the physical skills class was established, Dai had asked them if they would like to train together.

But back then, who looked up to Dai?

Nowadays, I've heard that Dai has gained more attention from higher-ups and his power is now vastly different from what it used to be. He rarely goes home anymore, probably because he has a better place to live now.

If they had agreed back then, perhaps they could have learned the Eight Gates Formation too...

These kids have such sour thoughts.

In reality, Dai is immersed in training every day, and may only sleep at home two or three nights a week. The rest of the time he is either at the training ground or sleeping at the research institute.

Others only see the glamorous exterior, but they don't know the effort behind it.

If you were to ask Akabane to talk about this, he would probably empathize with it very much—who but himself could understand the pain of splitting into four or five clones, making them work for an entire afternoon, and then having them all report their fatigue back in one go?

of course.

If those in the know heard this, they would probably not only not understand, but would also beat Akabane up.

That's so infuriating.

However, Akabane is quite busy right now.

I need to keep updating daily, and I also have to draw comics...

Akabane originally planned to leave four clones at the manga shop to handle updates, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to leave one at the Anbu and three here. If all five of them finished at the same time, they would probably instantly enter the ultimate lazy mode.

Besides, fewer updates don't mean no updates at all.

Akabane comforted himself in this way, but his true form sat in the hall drinking tea and watching others chat, showing no interest in going in to help.

Talk about it.

Akabane only learned about the start of the preparatory training from Danzo. Currently, the trainees are mostly retired ninjas and a group of graduates who are not officially genin.

Therefore, after sitting for a while, he had to go to the illusion class to report.

As a training instructor, it would be unacceptable for him not to provide guidance on illusion techniques.

"Let's skip today, it's a good day off. Classes will officially start tomorrow, so it's decided!"

Akabane stretched.

What the illusion class teaches is actually illusion games.

of course.

The illusion game is a relatively deep level, and its initial effect... if it can help the sensory ninja broadcast messages, that would be quite good.

In addition, he had to wait for news from the front lines.

Currently, only he and Mito Uzumaki possess the knowledge of the Impure World Reincarnation technique in Konoha. The memories of all other people who know about it have been erased. Therefore, if Chiyo agrees to reconcile, he will inevitably have to go to the Land of Rivers.

At this time, Danzo arrived in the land of rivers.

However, before he arrived, the message had already reached the front lines and was then relayed to Ebizo through the front-line secret service.

Ebizo, holding a comic book, was deeply conflicted in his tent.

One volume covers the Five Kage Summit storyline, the other the latest information on the Gedo Mazo and the 100,000 White Zetsu, and the news Danzo sent is equally explosive—

Madara summoned the Gedo Mazo through the power of Sunagakure!

All of this is enough to prove that Madara did indeed manipulate Sunagakure and had a very terrible plot against Sunagakure.

however.

Can Chiyo listen to these things now?

He thought for a moment, then took the comic book and went into the tent. When he entered, Chiyo was looking at the map and listening to the intelligence sent by the ninja team.

"Kazami Hatake has completely tightened his defenses; we don't know their next move yet. Also..."

"Alright, you've worked hard. Go and rest."

Ebizo called a halt.

He had already learned the whole story from the letter Danzo sent him; no one knew the inside story of this war better than him.

However, Chiyo had no idea that when she heard her brother call to stop, she immediately looked over, both annoyed and puzzled, as if questioning him about the reason.

"Sis, take a look at these two comic books..."

"Comics! What time is it? Still reading comics? Ebizo, we're at war, not playing around!"

Chiyo glared angrily, but was even more puzzled.

Based on her understanding of her brother, Ebizo shouldn't be so unreliable. Even if he didn't want to start a war, he wouldn't cause such trouble.

I knew that trying to reason with them wouldn't work.

Ebizo thought for a moment and decided that he should be straightforward and tell the truth, but of course he couldn't reveal that he was a traitor right away.

If this gets out, we'll lose our own people.
