I'm drawing manga in Naruto

"I don't like this kind of painting, but I'm going to prove that Jiraiya's stuff is complete garbage!"

After Akabane finished the drawing, he clipped it to the canvas and waited for it to dry.

Tsunade glanced at it and found that the small page did not contain any overly crude content. Instead, it featured a delicate and alluring art style and characters, making even Tsunade, a woman, want to continue reading.

"Not going to continue drawing?"

After reading it, Orochimaru realized that Akabane had no intention of continuing to draw.

“I’ve said it before, I don’t like this kind of art. One page is enough to deal with this kind of low-quality garbage.”

Akabane said proudly.

In terms of drawing skills and understanding of manga, Jiraiya was no match for him, after all, he had a whole world behind him!

"What are you going to do next?"

Tsunade did not react too strongly, seemingly having temporarily dispelled her prejudice.

"The shadow clone transforms and disguises itself, then goes in to present the painting."

Akabane said, "After that, we'll wait for a signal. If the shadow clones disappear and give me feedback, we'll retreat immediately."

A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall; of course, I would split myself up to do such a dangerous job.

He felt no remorse for this.

"can."

This is the best solution.

The teacher is right. Akabane only truly reveals his talents in times of crisis.

Tsunade and Orochimaru exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

He formed hand seals, creating a shadow clone, and then used a transformation technique to transform into the ninja they had previously captured.

Akabane handed over the painting, his clone's face expressionless, but his eyes revealed deep contempt.

Whether or not he is discovered, he and the painting will never be able to return to each other.

"Go, I will remember you."

Silent contempt is the most deadly. He was somewhat embarrassed, but at least he managed to say something polite.

The clone took the painting, got up, and headed up the mountain.

As he passed by that grove of trees, he glanced at the other person, who was still engrossed in dealing damage.

Not daring to disturb them, Akabane's clone continued forward until it reached the top of the mountain, and no one came to stop or inquire.

"With such lax defenses, Jiraiya is too powerful!"

He silently complained to himself.

A few pages, probably just enough for one plot point, resulted in such a huge disaster.

A physiological weapon!

The clone shook its head and continued upwards.

A moment later, a campfire appeared, followed by a narrow cave entrance. The cave was disguised and would be difficult for an ordinary person to spot without close inspection.

As soon as they stepped into the cave, a voice came from inside: "Chief, it's me."

"Liu Chuan, what's wrong?"

"I searched outside and found traces of the white-haired brat, but he ran very fast. I only managed to pick up a single page he dropped, so I've brought it here for you, sir, to review."

The clone said respectfully.

"Paper? Let me see it."

The leader came out from inside, took it, and immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.

He was eager to look at it after just a few glances, but unfortunately, the painting only contained that much content, with no further details.

"Female ninja Muzan...is this the only page?"

He asked irritably.

"Yes, I was incompetent and failed to capture him."

Akabane's clone said with shame.

Where did you find him?

"My men were at the riverbank where we ambushed them earlier when they spotted him..."

The words were half true and half false, leading the leader to imagine that direction.

"only one person?"

"Yes, leader. He seems to have gotten separated from the Konoha ninjas. It's very likely due to that strange ninjutsu from before."

The clone continued to answer.

The leader was torn. He didn't dare go if a Konoha Jonin was present, but when he heard that only the white-haired brat was there, he was tempted.

If we can capture it, we can not only obtain the painting, but also exchange benefits with Konoha.

"Take me to see it."

"Yes."

Plan succeeded!

Akabane's clone turned around and immediately led the way. However, after taking a few steps, he asked with some concern, "Sir, what if the Konoha ninjas find this place if we leave?"

"Even Uzushio Village doesn't know we're here, how could Konoha know we've only been here a few days?"

"Besides, does it even matter?"

He sneered. That Jonin from Konoha was incredibly strong. If he were to be found here, staying would only be suicide.

We're all rogue ninja!

"Yes, my lord!"

Judging from what the other party said, there shouldn't be any other Jonin here, and the "rogue ninja" organization is very loose, so he doesn't care about the lives of others.

This is something we can take advantage of; the plan is feasible!

Thinking of this, he did not actively deactivate the clone to issue a warning, but instead led the leader of the stronghold to the location where he had previously captured the ninja surnamed Yanagawa.

Chapter 54: Pursue him again, and take him down!

"Safety."

From Akabane's position, they could see the clone leading the leader away.

"Okay, I can't wait. These scum deserve to go to hell."

Tsunade clenched her fist and said through gritted teeth.

It was these rogue ninjas who destroyed the happiness of the Land of Whirlpools.

Although she was not from the Land of Whirlpools, she felt a deep empathy for Mito Uzumaki because of their relationship.

"Calm down, we still need to wait."

Orochimaru wiped his kunai.

This is a killing and a test, but the difference is that the test is one they set for themselves.

As the figure receded into the distance, Akabane waved his hand, signaling that everyone could begin their operation.

Orochimaru and Tsunade left instantly, heading up the mountain.

"If you all take action, then I'll provide support and pick up the scraps."

Akabane sat cross-legged in a secluded spot at the foot of the mountain, observing the movements on and off the mountain while simultaneously channeling his power to restore his chakra.

After using Shadow Clones twice, he had very little chakra left in his body, and going up would only be a burden.

the other side.

The clone, carrying the leader of the stronghold, left and arrived at the riverbank where the previous battle had taken place.

"You were fighting here?"

Traces of Earth Escape Technique!

He became suspicious, but did not take any action.

"Yes, sir. That brat has somehow become much stronger and now possesses a powerful toad summoning beast. I was caught off guard and ambushed by him..."

The clone said with shame.

"Why not investigate immediately?"

The Jonin stepped on the liquid beneath his feet and realized why he had been ambushed.

"Useless! You don't know how to do anything useful, all you do is talk about this!"

"Yes, sir, you are right."

The clone had no morals whatsoever and immediately admitted his mistake.

Since he had played a role, he had to take the blame. After admitting his mistake, he pointed to the direction of Wochao Village and said, "He failed to kill me and was instead chased by me. However, that area is Wochao Village territory, and I dared not pursue him in, so he escaped."

"Our strength is not yet sufficient to enter Wochao Village."

When the name of Uzushio Village was mentioned, even though he was a Jonin, a trace of fear still appeared on the leader's face.

A thought struck him deeply, and he realized something—the vortex clan's talent had caused them a lot of suffering.

But here's the problem: he's afraid to enter Wochao Village, so how can the delay plan be implemented?

He had a headache.

The return of a Jonin will change the entire situation and could even put Orochimaru and Tsunade at great risk.

He must stall for time or issue a warning, no matter what!

but……

"Liu Chuan, you seem lost in thought. What are you thinking about?"

The leader asked calmly.

The clone instinctively sensed something was wrong; it seemed as if a faint killing intent was locking onto him.

Are you being suspected?

He made a quick decision, forming hand seals and using the Substitution Technique to switch places.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

A massive surge of chakra erupted, and in the next instant, a magnificent water dragon burst forth from the river, reaching them in the blink of an eye...

too fast!

Just as the clone finished the substitution technique and switched places, the water dragon roared in. He had no time to dodge and was hit directly by the water dragon.

However, at the same time, he unleashed his last illusion technique—the Naraku-sight technique!

As the clone dissipated, Akabane instantly sensed it, and memories of his death echoed in his mind.

"They're just throwing water cannons at us, that's bullying!"

Water Dragon Bullet is a B-rank ninjutsu, which is very difficult to use and consumes a lot of chakra. It is a powerful water-style technique that only Jonin can use.

Using this thing against a genin, let alone a clone, even Akabane himself would have a hard time dodging it.

Moreover, this Jonin has an abundance of combat experience.

Completely crushed!

Akabane quickly got up and headed up the mountain. Since the other party had made a move, it meant they had discovered some clues and might come back. The later he left, the more dangerous it would be.

Not long after...

boom!

A loud bang came from one corner of the mountain.
