I'm drawing manga in Naruto

These children with the surname Uzumaki are now assigned to the few remaining households of the Senju clan, but every afternoon they gather in the courtyard of Mito Uzumaki.

of course……

It wasn't about training in ninjutsu or practicing taijutsu; it was about a group of people reading comics together.

Such as now.

"Grandma, I've finished reading the second book. Shall we read the third book today?"

"Manan, you've finished reading it, but many children haven't, so we'll continue with the second book this afternoon."

Mito Uzumaki said gently and calmly.

"But……"

"You're a team, understand?"

In short, Mana Uzumaki swallowed back what he was about to say.

Then, the comic books were handed out one by one, and everyone quietly began to read them.

After watching for a while, one of the children asked, "Grandma, why is Sakura's academic performance so good, but she's not as good as Naruto in battle?"

"Yeah, at least Naruto tried, but she just kept..."

Once someone started, the others couldn't help but share their opinions on the plot.

"Her control and theoretical knowledge are excellent, but she lacks the will to fight; she doesn't even know why she's fighting."

Mito Uzumaki explained casually.

"Fighting spirit?"

A group of children had no idea what this was. They all looked at Mito Uzumaki, hoping she could explain.

"People always have a goal when they fight. For example, the people of Wochao Village fight for their clan and their country."

"That's what Mito Uzumaki said."

"Does Grandma mean that Sakura has no target to fight?"

Some people seemed to be deep in thought.

"Yes, she probably only has eyes for that little boy."

Mito Uzumaki sighed.

Although this is a comic book, such scenes do exist among ninjas, and are not uncommon.

"Oh, I see. So... what about you, Grandma?"

"I?"

Mito Uzumaki sat in a chair, a look of reminiscence on her face.

"If given the opportunity, it might be for the Uzumaki clan, the Senju clan, or even for Konoha."

But she knew very well that this might be too small.

As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she is very powerful, but because of her overwhelming strength, she attracts the attention of other ninja villages whenever she moves.

"Children, you must become stronger, but at the same time you must understand why you are fighting."

Mito Uzumaki said seriously, "Don't let negative things affect you."

The Uzumaki clan's physical prowess is undeniable, and the ten children sent to Konoha were certainly handpicked. These children will undoubtedly become ninjas in the future, but the Uzumaki clan...

Her heart was heavy. If the Uzumaki clan were to meet with misfortune, how many of these children would live in the shadow of hatred?

"Protect your family!"

"Become strong!"

"I want to become Hokage, just like Naruto!"

"Idiot, we are the Uzumaki clan."

Everyone started arguing again, and Mito Uzumaki covered her mouth and laughed, her gloom vanishing.

"Alright, everyone has finished reading Book 2. Now you can start reading Book 3."

Chapter 72 Expanding Printing Production

"They'll deliver it tonight! Are they being this efficient this time?"

"Yes."

Tsunade held the piece of paper, waving it around smugly.

"Stop shaking it, I'll give you this one too."

Akabane sighed and took a drawing out of his pocket.

"What... Ugh!"

Tsunade covered her mouth in surprise, but quickly regained her composure after a moment—it was a portrait, depicting Tsunade as she looked right now.

"It's nothing, just a portrait."

Akabane shrugged, paused for a moment, and then sincerely thanked him, "Thank you for helping me deliver that page of paper."

"It's no big deal. I need to train my physical skills anyway."

Tsunade happily put away the portrait.

"You guys are so hardworking, I need to work harder too."

Akabane took out the tools.

The fifth volume is still halfway done. Yamano Izumi Hiroshi delivered the goods today, and he also needs to finish the remaining part today.

"Okay, you're finally being diligent... never mind."

Another shadow clone!

Tsunade was speechless. She really shouldn't have had any expectations.

However, the next second, she saw Akabane bring out a set of tools himself.

"You think I'd slack off? You're kidding, do you think I'd let you guess that easily!"

Akabane chuckled, pondered for a moment, and then began to draw.

"Okay, then I'll start training too."

Tsunade was instantly full of energy.

Even lazybones like this are starting to work hard, so what excuse do I have to be a couch potato?

However, she deliberately ran far away, as she is not yet able to perfectly control the power of each punch.

boom!

Upon hearing the voice, Akabane paused.

The noise level has decreased significantly; Tsunade's control has improved rapidly!

"That makes sense. Without such control, how could one perfect the medical system and become the world's number one medical ninja?"

Akabane sighed for a moment, then quickly began to draw.

As evening approached...

"Young Master, Mr. Yamano's convoy has arrived. He has already printed the comics."

"I understand. Go to the clan and get someone to arrange for the comics to be put on the shelves. I'll take care of the publicity."

Akabane had already learned the information from Tsunade, so it wasn't surprising.

Kurama Yunlang responded, then looked at Akabane suspiciously, feeling that... something seemed a little off.

He walked and pondered.

What's wrong?

No matter how I think about it, something just doesn't seem right...

"By the way, something's not right that the young master is working so hard!"

Kurama Yunlang finally realized that in the past, the young master would only let his shadow clones do the work while he lay there leisurely, but today he actually drew comics himself.

Aside from drawing posters, this was the first time he had ever seen anything like it!

"Tsunade, Mr. Yamano has arrived. I need to go and greet him, so I won't be able to keep you company."

After dispelling his clone and putting away his manuscript, Akabane called out to Tsunade, who was still working hard on the hillside in the distance.

"Okay, I'm done too."

Tsunade immediately stopped and began cleaning up the mess.

"I still need to finish compiling the fifth volume, so I'll leave now."

"it is good!"

"..."

Akabane hurriedly returned home, took out his previous sketches, and combined them with the woven fabric he had drawn this time.

When I arrived at the comic shop, the layout and page numbers were already clearly marked.

In front of the door, a group of people were busy at work.

Even the factory manager, Izumi Hiroshi Yamano, was so busy that he personally helped unload the goods.

"Mr. Yamano, thank you and the workers for rushing to produce this batch of comics."

Akabane stepped forward, bowed, and thanked him.

The fourth volume was completed in just over a day, which shows how efficient these people are.

"This is thanks to His Majesty the Great."

Yamano Izumi smiled and then explained to Akabane, "His Majesty the Daimyo heard about your situation from somewhere and mobilized a lot of manpower to allow me to expand production."

"Even the Great Name knows about my comics?"

Akabane's eyes lit up.

"Yes, His Majesty the Great said that your comics are a new cultural industry that should be encouraged."

Shan Yequan smiled brightly, his tone filled with gratitude, "Thanks to your cooperation, our factory's printing production department has upgraded its equipment."

"That's great, let's go inside and have a proper talk."

This news stirred Akabane's emotions.

He pulled Shan Yequanhong and led him into the house.

Although their age difference made their appearances seem incongruous, Yamano Izumi Hiroshi didn't find it strange at all and followed him inside to talk in detail.

"Mr. Yamano, have you inquired with the caravan?"

Akabane sat upright nervously.

"The two caravans agreed to cooperate, and one wanted to sell on their behalf once or twice to observe the situation."

"Three caravans?"

Yamano Izumi Kou paused for a moment, then said somewhat apologetically, "The time was too short; only four caravans passed through in total, so..."

"No, I'm just so surprised that you were able to find three caravans at once."

Akabane sincerely admired, "May I ask, which areas are the three caravans responsible for trading in?"

“One team goes to the Land of Snow, one goes to the Land of Rivers, and the team that is meant to observe usually goes to the Land of Iron.”

"Izumi Hiroshi Yamano replied."

"Apart from the land of rivers, they are all relatively stable countries."

Akabane seemed to be deep in thought.

"Well, actually, the land of rivers is quite peaceful."

That's how it is so far.
