I'm drawing manga in Naruto

The Hidden Mist Pursuit Team!

"Gentlemen, could you hand him over to me? I've been hunting him down for days."

He saluted very politely.

Hiruzen Sarutobi changed his appearance, yet he did not inspire fear or trepidation. Otherwise, the Hidden Mist Village's Anbu would have already made their move and killed all his personalities.

"How many of your rogue ninja are there in the Land of Whirlpools?"

Akabane asked.

"This is our secret, I can't tell you."

"The Hidden Mist Anbu said calmly."

"Then you should stay too, we can deal with it together."

Akabane, having no other strokes, added a single line to the canvas, then his figure swayed, the branch beneath his feet snapped, and he fell directly from the tree.

"Ah...my legs!"

Normally, with his ANBU skills, he shouldn't have broken his leg, but he fell without resistance as if he were asleep in the air, which directly resulted in his leg breaking.

"Akaba!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't expected Akabane to make a move, and it was too late to stop him now.

But at the same time, he was very surprised.

As an ANBU member, this Kirigakure ninja was incredibly strong, but Akabane used his five senses to manipulate the opponent, rendering him unable to resist. He then materialized the illusory branch and severed it. And the broken leg... was naturally not just due to the falling branch.

Falling was one thing, but the real reason was that he broke his leg in the environment.

In terms of mastery and application of bloodline limits, Akabane is already more terrifying than many veterans of the Kurama clan who have fought on the battlefield. The others can't see much, but they are equally aware of how difficult it is to catch the Anbu.

"You, you guys..."

The Hidden Mist operative awoke, his face filled with disbelief.

He revealed his identity, and the other party still attacked him, which was tantamount to declaring war on Kirigakure.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly, "What plans does Kirigakure have here?"

"I came here only to hunt down rogue ninjas. If you kill me, you are protecting rogue ninjas."

He said through gritted teeth.

"How would others know that it wasn't a rogue ninja who killed you? The only explanation for your statement is that... the rogue ninja was sent by you, so they wouldn't turn around and kill you."

Akabane stood up, stretched, and chuckled coldly.

"Water escape……"

Just as the Hidden Mist Anbu was about to use Water Release, they were instantly killed with a single strike.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sheathed his sword, his expression indifferent: "As members of the Anbu, they are unlikely to reveal any more information."

"What about the other one?"

Tsunade asked.

“Take it back to the village and let the people in the mountains see it.”

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he created a shadow clone, splitting it in two and then using a sealing technique to preserve the corpse of the ANBU member. Only then did he say to Shishou and Sakumo, "You two go back to the village with my clone and hand him over to your teacher along with the ANBU members from Kirigakure."

"Yes!"

Sakumo carried the sealing scroll, Zixiao carried the corpse on her back, and together with the shadow clone, they returned to Konoha Village.

Tsunade watched them leave, then said in surprise, "It's strange that you didn't say you wanted to go back this time..."

"Impossible things, too lazy to talk about them."

Akabane stood up.

The Land of Whirlpools is dangerous, but it is also an opportunity for him.

The more he saw, the less suspicious his subsequent drawings would be; besides, he wanted to confirm a hypothesis—

Awakening my five senses only cost me 30 points.

To obtain the Vortex Clan physique, 4000 points are required.

For a regular Sharingan, 300 to 1000 points are required.

While its five senses control isn't as good as the Mangekyou Sharingan, it's definitely no worse than the regular Sharingan. And with a price of only 30 points, it might mean that points can be saved under certain conditions.

The eyes of the Uchiha clan are hard to find, but the blood of the Uzumaki clan is not difficult to find now.

"Mr. Kazama, let's continue."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up. Everything he had seen after entering the Land of Whirlpools made him even more determined to protect Whirlpool Village, or at least... preserve the bloodline of the Whirlpool Clan.

However, none of the ninja villages have made any overt moves yet, and Konoha cannot directly help Uzushio Village either, otherwise it will lead to another ninja world war.

Chapter 44 The Target of Pursuit

"Teacher, could I have that knife?"

Jiraiya stared at the sword, his mouth practically watering.

"That knife is a big problem. Be careful, you might get it alive, but you might not be able to protect it."

Akabane couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

Although it was just an ordinary knife, he noticed that it bore the personal mark of that Jonin.

"You idiot, the teacher has a knife, it's definitely not for you!"

Tsunade roared.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy had just been injured, she would have punched him already.

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled softly, glanced at them without speaking, but his expression clearly indicated his agreement with Tsunade's statement.

As for its use, Akabane could guess a thing or two.

The Yamanaka clan's secret technique allows them to extract information from the minds of Jonin, enabling Hiruzen Sarutobi to use that information and disguise to find more "rogue ninja" hiding in the Land of Whirlpools. This sword is one of the tools used to disguise his identity.

Furthermore, even if Akabane doesn't make a move and leaves the Kirigakure Anbu behind, Hiruzen Sarutobi will still make a move.

"Lord Kurama..."

Kazama Sasuke crept over furtively and suddenly called out.

Akabane shuddered.

Having transmigrated to this era, no one has yet addressed him as "Sir." He turned around and saw…

"Oh, it's you. What's up?"

Akabane really didn't have a good impression of Kazama Sakai.

Both business trips were related to him, and I'm still unhappy about it. It's good that he has this attitude.

"Um... Lord Kurama, we're almost into the territory of Uzushio Village. I'd like to ask how we should promote it?"

Kazama said respectfully.

While buying comics, he learned a lot about comic book shops from the residents of Konoha, and then he also learned a lot of details from Tsunade. He was certain that Akabane was definitely a business genius!

Akabane couldn't help but glance at Tsunade. The old man had come to ask this question because Tsunade must have said something.

Fine, for the points!

After taking a deep breath, Akabane said calmly, "Uzushio Village is different from Konoha Village. If we want to promote it, we need to let everyone know what makes this story good."

"Please enlighten me, sir."

Kazama Sato bowed deeply, displaying a very humble attitude.

"It was Grandma Mito's idea to have you buy the manga, right? She probably wanted you to show it to the higher-ups in Uzushio Village. Just show it to them, and make sure to give a copy to everyone. Then tell the villagers that all the village's leaders have bought the book, and your fame will naturally spread."

Akabane sat lazily on the edge of the carriage, shaking his leg as he explained his thoughts.

Kazama Sakai was initially confused, but his expression shifted between surprise and apprehension.

"what happened again?"

"Sir, if the higher-ups really take this book seriously, will they allow me to sell it?"

Kazama Sasuke is quite shrewd in business, but this question is so stupid that Akabane is too lazy to answer it and points to Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him.

"Forehead……"

Now he realized—the Hokage is here, how could the Uzumaki clan dare to refuse to sell?

Besides, he had already seen the content and couldn't understand anything about it.

Kazama Sasuke felt that even he couldn't figure it out, and most of the other guests couldn't make heads or tails of it either. Perhaps only a powerful person like Lord Mito could understand the secrets in the book...

Thinking of this, all the pressure instantly disappeared.

"Go about your own business and don't stand next to me and attract attention."

Akabane glanced guiltily at Tsunade, secretly relieved that he wasn't on the same team as her, otherwise life would have been too difficult.

"My lord, when we return to Wochao Village, I beg you to continue to guide me."

"Hurry up, hurry up..."

Kazama Satoshi excitedly left and ran ahead.

Tsunade glanced sideways at the back, glaring at Akabane until he jumped off the car.

Akabane had no choice but to get out of the car and walk. Fortunately, they were already very close to Uzushio Village, and soon they saw some scattered villages on the outskirts of Uzushio Village.

The villages here are so different from what I first saw.

On both sides of the field, dozens of people were busy cultivating the land, creating a peaceful and happy scene.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that the gap between the inside and outside could be so huge, and all of this is because of war.

Orochimaru clenched his fists, his eyes turning slightly cold.

"This is war."

Hiruzen Sarutobi patted his head, filled with emotion, "It is precisely because war is cruel that we must prevent it from happening."

Jiraiya felt a slight pang of sadness.

Of his three disciples, he always showed the most care and affection for Orochimaru.

"Teacher, we'll help the Land of Whirlpools, right?"

Tsunade was in low spirits.

This is her grandmother's hometown, but now it's not only in chaos, but even her grandmother is unable to leave the village and come back to save her hometown for some reason.

Just thinking about it makes Tsunade feel a deep sense of empathy.

"Yes, we... will help the Land of Whirlpools."

Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment, took a puff of his cigarette, and then continued.

"War... is such a hassle."

Akabane remained seated in the car and did not participate in the conversation.

The Land of Whirlpools?

Don't be ridiculous. The life and death of a nation cannot be decided by Konoha's attitude.

Even if Konoha intervenes, it will only help Uzushio Village, the Uzumaki clan, and perhaps only a portion of the Uzumaki clan.

However, he didn't care about any of that. Akabane was afraid that the Third Hokage and Danzo were full of bad intentions and would make things difficult for him.

"Let's draw first, Shadow Clone Technique..."

The clone appeared, glanced at Akabane speechlessly, and then boarded the carriage on its own.

The group continued on their journey and soon saw the gate of Wochao Village.

Uzushio Village has never appeared in the manga, which makes Akabane a little curious—

He glanced at it and it looked strangely familiar.
