I'm drawing manga in Naruto

He couldn't be careless even if he wanted to; Akabane's understanding of transformation techniques was too advanced. He not only transformed the appearance but also the deeper inner self.

Such a transformation technique wouldn't be a problem on the battlefield.

Uchiha Rin sat down without saying a word.

"Don't look down on people like that next time. You're just like that yourself."

Akabane sneered.

"That's all you're good at. In a real battle, you're no match for the Uchiha clan!"

Another kid from the Uchiha clan retorted.

"Your genjutsu is nothing to us. I'll show you the power of the Uchiha clan during the comprehensive exam tomorrow."

Uchiha Ryo had recovered from the blow and was once again full of confidence.

"Oh? It's a pity you're from Konoha, but I can let you foresee how you'll die tomorrow."

Akabane glanced at him, said something, and then walked downstairs.

Uchiha Ryo gripped his leg for a moment, then released it. He knew that Akabane had awakened his bloodline limit, but the pride of the Uchiha clan prevented him from bowing his head.

"As long as we strike first, defeating him won't be difficult..."

He told himself this in his heart.

In contrast, Akabane sat down with a relaxed expression after getting off the plane, showing that he didn't take Uchiha Rin seriously at all.

Even if the opponent is Uchiha, so what... Uchiha Rin hasn't awakened his bloodline limit, and he doesn't have super strong mental power, so what makes him think he can fight him?

"Thank you, Akabane..."

Jiraiya clenched his fists. He should have gotten his revenge himself, but he knew that he was no match for Uchiha Rin.

"It's alright. You have a good talent for actual combat, and you will definitely become a powerful ninja in the future."

Akabane smiled, also not taking the matter to heart.

"Yes, I will try my best."

Jiraiya nodded solemnly.

Akabane sat down, the table was broken, so he simply leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and watched the others continue their tests.

However, at the same time, he opened his system panel.

"94 points, almost there..."

The Shadow Clone Technique is almost here!

This B-rank ninjutsu is of great significance to him; it's not just for casual players, but can also be used in conjunction with genjutsu and other tactical effects.

of course……

Even without shadow clones, he could still defeat Uchiha Rin.

With this ninjutsu, Akabane can make Uchiha Ryo lose without him even knowing how.

"Hakabane has already awakened the ability to control his five senses?"

When Hiruzen Sarutobi received the news, all the transformation techniques had already been tested.

"Yes, Hokage-sama, that's not all. Kurama Akabane demonstrated superb chakra control during the Transformation Jutsu test, and we've received information from the Kurama clan that his mental strength is comparable to that of a Chunin."

A string of information came out of the mouth of this ANBU member, and when the Third Hokage heard the words "comparable to Chunin", his smoking action paused slightly.

"An unprecedented genius of illusion."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was thoughtful.

After thinking carefully, he asked again, "What did the Kurama clan do after they learned about Akabane's talent?"

"Hmm... many paintings created by Kurama Akabane were printed, and every family in the Kurama clan received a copy."

The ANBU ninja said in a strange tone.

"I see, you go down."

He gestured for the secret service to leave, then sat alone in a chair for a long time, once again using his telescope technique.

In the picture, Akabane, the horse-riding horse, sits on the grass, drawing diligently with a canvas in front of him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly.

"This kid... he's suddenly become diligent?"

After observing for several days, he had gained some understanding of Akabane's temperament.

I wouldn't call myself lazy, but I'm definitely not diligent at all.

"Could it be that……"

He thought of a possibility and moved the lens of his telescope to the side. He quickly found another figure not far away—it was still Akabane, but this time he was lying on the soft grass, fast asleep.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was immediately at a loss for words, realizing that old habits die hard. But then, a chill ran down his spine: "Shadow Clone Technique... So young, and he's already mastered a B-rank ninjutsu, and even developed such a... mysterious way of using it."

"A genius, truly a genius!"

His opinion of Akabane grew increasingly positive, but this only made things more difficult for him.

"Hiruzen, hand over Kurama Akabane to me. The Anbu needs a genius like him."

At that moment, a voice came from outside the door.

"No, Akabane can't go to the Anbu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said decisively, "The Kurama clan's bodies are too weak. They would never agree to send him to the Anbu."

"Then... Orochimaru."

Chapter 7, Episode 2: Konohamaru makes his appearance.

"I reckon that old geezer will be watching me for a few more days after I finish my performance."

Akabane lay on the grass, chewing on a blade of grass as he pondered to himself.

To obtain more resources, one must demonstrate both talent and ability; now, no one should doubt his capabilities as a ninja.

Even so, Akabane still didn't think he could become the third generation's disciple.

The Third Hokage's role as Hokage in taking on disciples was not so simple.

Taking Tsunade as his disciple, winning over the powerful clans of Konoha, taking Jiraiya as his disciple, winning over the common people of Konoha, taking Orochimaru as his disciple... this was out of genuine affection.

Furthermore, Hiruzen Sarutobi was nicknamed the "Professor of Ninjutsu" because he knew over a thousand different ninjutsu techniques, but to be honest, he was most proficient in the Five Elements Ninjutsu rather than genjutsu.

"I never thought I could become the Third Hokage's disciple, but it's fine this way. Being one of the Sannin is too tiring. It's much better to be a lazy bum."

Akabane, with his legs crossed, thought to himself leisurely.

He wasn't very interested in standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world, but the Naruto world was too terrifying. To survive, one needed to have enough resources, so Akabane still hoped to have a mentor who wouldn't be a burden.

"Hey, how many have you drawn?"

"One-third, if you're in a hurry, draw it yourself!"

The clone said irritably.

"Great, great, keep it up!"

Akabane ignored him. He had painstakingly accumulated points for most of the day, all for the Shadow Clone ability that would allow him to be lazy.

Now that everyone has mastered ninjutsu, only a fool would try to draw on their own.

"Damn it, why don't you order another one!"

The clone cursed under its breath and continued drawing diligently.

He was just a tool; his sole mission was to draw diligently.

"I'm too tired. If I have to do another one, I'll faint when the surgery is over."

Akabane said calmly.

After exchanging 2 points of mental energy, he now had 50 points of mental energy, truly reaching the threshold of Chunin level. However, even so, he still couldn't handle splitting two shadow clones to perform high-intensity work at the same time.

"Dizziness doubles my workload each time, but I think it's worth it."

The clone continued speaking.

"The war is still a long way off, what's the rush?"

After saying that, Akabane ignored him and lay down on the grass to rest quietly.

Ninjutsu is meaningless if it's not for improving one's life. The clones are very diligent, and with Akabane's body much better than before, their efficiency naturally increases rapidly.

"Akaba, hmph, I didn't expect you to hide here."

Just then, Tsunade's voice came from outside the woods.

"Damn, they found me even though I was hiding here!"

Akabane sat up abruptly, deactivating the Shadow Clone Technique.

"You're still lying here drawing for the comprehensive exam tomorrow..."

Tsunade walked through the woods to the riverbank and was immediately surprised to see a stack of manuscripts weighed down by stones. "So diligent?"

"I was thinking of using the sketches as shurikens to kill him. Do you think that's a good idea?"

Akabane chuckled.

"Stop joking. Even if the Uchiha clan hasn't awakened their Sharingan, they're not to be trifled with. Are you sure you'll have time to draw if a fight breaks out?"

Having fallen victim to an illusion, Tsunade was well aware of the medium through which Akabane manipulated his five senses.

"Well, I have my own way of doing this..."

He had only spoken half a sentence when he glanced over and saw Tsunade suddenly charging towards him.

"You can't do this! You attacked me from behind!"

"You used illusion magic without telling me."

One punch created a huge crater in the ground. He probably won't be able to take tomorrow's exam after that punch.

That woman is definitely getting revenge!

Akabane ran into the woods, seeking cover.

"Don't run!"

Tsunade rushed over quickly, her chakra surging throughout her body.

As Akabane walked, he formed hand seals, quickly completing them near a tree... Then, a figure swiftly ran into the woods.

Tsunade leaped directly onto the tree, closing the distance with a few jumps. Even if Akabane doubled his physical skills, he still wouldn't be her match.

But when Tsunade jumped over a few trees, she couldn't catch up, and she immediately felt something was wrong—could this sickly Akabane be so fast?

Illusion!

"When did you get infected...?"

Tsunade stopped and asked in shock.

"When you cross that tree."

"Red Feather" turned around.

A kunai suddenly appeared beside Tsunade. Tsunade quickly dodged it, but a strand of her hair was shot down by the kunai.

Then, the illusion space disappeared.

Tsunade broke free from the illusion, but she discovered... a strand of her hair had indeed fallen out, and the severed hair was floating in the air.

"Is this... still in an illusion?"

"No, I have already ended the illusion."

Akabane emerged from behind the tree, waving the torn pieces of paper in his hand.

“Then… I remember now, your Kaminga clan also has the ability to turn the illusory into the real.”

Tsunade pinched her hair, then after a moment felt something was off, "But the one I was chasing..."
