I'm drawing manga in Naruto

"It's my shadow clone."

Akabane yawned, his face full of exhaustion.

He had already endured a considerable burden when he released the first shadow clone he created while drawing, and now that he had released another clone, his mental fatigue was even greater.

"Shadow Clone Technique... Rank B Ninjutsu!"

Tsunade was surprised, but she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This is enough to show that Akabane still has many trump cards up his sleeve, and dealing with Uchiha Ryo will not be difficult.

Because all of Uchiha Ryo's skills are on display, but no one knows anything about Akabane's abilities.

"So don't worry about me, I'm just a brat from the Uchiha clan."

Akabane packed up his tools and sketches, preparing to go home.

"Tch, who cares about you? I just want to beat you up to vent my anger."

Tsunade snorted coldly.

"Really? Okay, I was going to show you the comic I just finished drawing..."

"Give me!"

In an instant, Tsunade was beside Akabane, much faster than Gango.

Akabane saw through her plan but didn't say anything to avoid getting punched. He handed her half of the drawing and said, "Here, finish reading it here. I'll print a batch after I finish drawing it."

"Hey hey hey."

Tsunade sat down and began to look at a stack of drawings.

The second episode is mostly about Naruto and Konohamaru, the grandson of the Third Hokage, but Tsunade finds it very interesting because these people are her juniors in the background, giving her a feeling of stepping into the long river of history and looking down on the future.

"Huh, Sarutobi Konohamaru... is he Uncle Sarutobi's grandson?"

Upon seeing the newly appeared child, Tsunade's gossip-loving heart blazed, "Whose child is this?"

"In the setting... it belongs to Shinnosuke."

Akabane said.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the eldest son of the Third Hokage and their classmate.

At this point, Asuma hadn't been born yet, so Tsunade naturally wouldn't think of someone who hadn't even been born yet.

"Shin-chan... what were you thinking? I thought your protagonist was stupid enough, but this time you came up with something even stupider."

When she saw that Konohamaru couldn't even quickly master the Sexy Jutsu, she showed an even more disgusted expression, "Stupid, even stupider than Jiraiya."

"Jiraiya is quite smart, but his talent doesn't lie in studying."

Akabane shrugged.

"Yes, that's why I said Konohamaru is even dumber than Jiraiya. I wonder if Uncle Sarutobi and Shinnosuke will beat you up if they see this."

Tsunade's face was full of schadenfreude as she said this.

"It's just a story, and I think they'll forgive a child's wild imagination."

Akabane appeared quite composed about this.

After Tsunade finished looking at half of the drawing, she returned it to Akabane and said, "Akabane, go back and print a few more copies. I'll give them to my grandma."

"no problem!"

Akabane was overjoyed and had no chance of refusing.

If he remembered correctly, the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha Village was Tsunade's grandmother, Mito Uzumaki.

I contributed a full 50 points for watching one episode of Naruto. How many points will the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki give me?

I'm so excited just thinking about it!

"It's almost time to eat, let's go home."

Chapter 8 Comprehensive Examination

"Don't push yourself too hard for tomorrow's comprehensive exam, just barely pass is fine."

Back home, after finishing his meal, Kurama Chiaki secretly gave him some instructions.

This is a privilege of the Kurama clan's bloodline limit users. Because they are physically weak and haven't learned many illusion techniques in the early stages, their overall combat strength is not strong, so they can graduate with lower requirements.

"It's okay, I know what's going on."

Akabane leaned back in his chair, looking completely calm.

In terms of academic performance, Uchiha Ryo might rank second, but in terms of overall combat ability, he might not even be in the top five.

What preparations are needed to deal with such a brat?

However, his points are increasing at a slower and slower rate. Another problem is that he can only exchange them for ninjutsu and abilities that appear in the manga.

"Looks like I'll have to work harder."

After eating and drinking his fill and resting for a while, Akabane summoned his shadow clone to start drawing again.

Even late into the night, when Akabane was asleep, his shadow clones continued their struggle.

The next morning, there was a stack of drawings on his desk.

One, two...

As I read through the pages, in just one night, the plot had progressed to the point where Naruto and Sasuke were kissing.

"This guy is really helpful; he finished half of the third chapter in one night."

Akabane was even more relieved that he had learned Shadow Clone Technique early on; otherwise, it would have taken him at least three days to draw such a large amount of work himself.

Unfortunately, no new ninjutsu appeared in the second episode, and the list was not updated.

"Dad, please print more of these for me."

After leaving behind the manuscript for the second chapter, Akabane went out to school.

On his way to school, he saw several regulars who were usually late, but today they were also heading to school early with their things on their backs.

"Hey, Akabane's here early today."

Nara Shika walked slowly, looking listless as if he hadn't woken up yet.

Like Akabane, he was also a notorious lazybones.

However, Lu Ming has a very precise grasp of time, and he has always entered the classroom on time since he started school.

"Yes, it's a comprehensive exam today, so we have to give the teacher some face."

Akabane yawned.

He went to bed early last night, but probably due to the intense work of his shadow clones, he was still very sleepy when he woke up this morning.

Okay, let's finish this early so I can get some sleep...

"That's true, let's get into the classroom a second earlier today."

Lu Ming yawned in response.

The two walked side by side toward the school. By the time they reached the classroom, almost everyone had already arrived, and they entered the classroom one after the other at the last second.

"Wow, everyone's here so early."

Akabane sat down, and as soon as his butt hit the stool, he couldn't help but yawn again.

"You're early today, and you're already keeping up with Lu Ming's speed."

Tsunade retorted sarcastically.

"Of course, I finished drawing the second chapter last night. I'll give it to you along with the first chapter later."

Akabane was feeling sleepy in his seat, but thankfully the teacher had arrived by then.

"That's awesome?"

Tsunade was unaware that Akabane was using shadow clones to do her work, and she was genuinely surprised when she heard this.

"Where's the comic? Where's the comic?"

Jiraiya, hearing the news, turned around excitedly.

Akabane ignored him and sat up straight.

next second...

"Jiraiya, why are you turning your head away! Am I behind you?!"

Sarutobi Nenichi roared furiously.

Jiraiya immediately turned around, no longer daring to look around.

Today's comprehensive exam is very important, and no one dares to go against Sarutobi Nenichi at this critical juncture.

At this moment, the entire room fell silent.

"Today's exam is a comprehensive exam, and the venue is the school playground. Here I will explain the exam rules."

"First, lethal ninjutsu and weapons must not be used."

"second,……"

Sarutobi recited the rules.

The methods and rules of ninja schools after the war were not as lenient as they would be in later years.

To summarize, the main points are: Don't kill, don't kill, don't kill!

In addition, any means can be used, including real kunai, shuriken, and so on.

of course……

From the upcoming match list, Akabane also noticed a hidden rule: students with good grades often have opponents with equally good grades.

For example, Orochimaru's rival was another member of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Kawaki. Kawaki's academic performance wasn't as good as Uchiha Ryo's, but it was about the same.

Akabane glanced at his opponent, who was none other than Uchiha Ryo, whom he had challenged to a duel earlier.

"I don't believe this would happen without the approval of three generations. It seems the old man basically knows my information."

Based on the apparent strength comparison, it would be difficult for Akabane to defeat Uchiha Ryo, since the taijutsu abilities of the Kurama clan's bloodline limit awakeners have never been a secret.

Sarutobi Nenichi didn't dare to make that arrangement. If Akabane were to suffer any mishap during the battle, the Kurama clan wouldn't let it go. Therefore, the decision would undoubtedly fall to the Third Hokage.

The third generation wants to see his own strength, or rather... wants to show it to everyone!

Akabane secretly wondered what was going on in his mind.

"Alright, the comprehensive test will now begin. The first match is Orochimaru versus Uchiha Kawaki."

Upon hearing his name called, Orochimaru stood up and walked towards the door.

Uchiha Kawaki also stood up and whispered as he walked past Orochimaru, "Academic performance doesn't represent strength. I'll show you the power of the Uchiha."

Yes, academic performance and overall strength are not directly related at the Ninja Academy, but unfortunately... Orochimaru is called a genius not just because of his academic performance.

Orochimaru didn't even glance at his provocation, and walked indifferently to the playground outside the gate.

"Okay, students can go outside and watch from a distance, but please keep your distance."

Sarutobi Nenichi and the other two left before announcing that everyone could go out.

Many people excitedly got up and rushed out, but Akabane remained seated and unmoved, even wanting to sleep.

"Aren't you going to go out and take a look?"

Tsunade asked, somewhat surprised.

"What's the point of a battle when you already know the outcome?"

Akabane answered listlessly.

That's true...

Tsunade strongly agreed with this point.

However, she still wanted to go and watch how Kawaki lost, but she was a little worried about Akabane: "Will your mental state be okay later?"
