I'm drawing manga in Naruto

"Yes, Father!"

Sakumo sat down first, placing his short sword on his lap.

Upon seeing the posture, Kazami Hatake paused for a moment before saying, "Sakumo, don't be so formal... This is outside, so you should all relax."

"Uh...yes."

"Lord Kazami, I never expected that you would be leading the team."

Orochimaru smiled slightly.

Sakumo's situation clearly indicated that this was his first time leaving the village with Kazami Hatake, and he was eager to make a good impression on Kazami.

however……

From the moment Chidori was developed, Kazami Hatake had already recognized him.

"Hmm... I didn't expect that either."

Kazami Hatake sat on the ground, in a similar posture to Sakumo.

"Father has killed quite a few Sand Ninja, won't he be alright?"

Shuo Mao was somewhat worried.

"Compared to the other ninja villages, the number of Sand Villages is relatively small."

Kazami said casually.

"It's probably because the Land of Wind only wanted to take advantage and didn't really commit their main forces. After all, even the Second Kazekage didn't participate in the battle."

Akabane interjected.

The Second Kazekage, Shamon, was the only second-generation leader of one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages to survive the First Shinobi World War.

He also advocated for an alliance with Konoha.

"At first they tried to benefit from both sides, but after we killed a bunch of them, they immediately formed an alliance to deal with the Land of Earth."

Kazami Hatake nodded.

In fact, those were the only Sand Ninja who died at his hands.

"If that wave hadn't won, the Land of Wind would probably have allied with the Land of Fire, but they definitely wouldn't have gotten their land back."

Zi Xiao pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Definitely, you'll spit it out after you put it in your mouth?"

Jiraiya pursed his lips.

"Aside from Sunagakure, are there any other ninja villages?"

Shinnosuke asked.

"Small villages like Takigakure and Kusagakure are also participating. With the great war just over, people from small ninja villages are likely to send out the genin who were in the war."

Kazami Hatake nodded, his tone and expression serious. "So you can't underestimate your opponent."

"It's okay, we are the strongest."

Orochimaru smiled lightly.

"Well... you guys can be the strongest, I'm not interested in Chunin anyway."

Akabane leaned against the tree trunk, taking the opportunity to rest.

Chapter 107 Special Jonin? Perfect!

It was just a normal journey, and I recovered to about 70-80% in just a few minutes.

However, Akabane was probably more concerned about his reputation, so everyone rested for half an hour before Kazami told everyone to get up and continue their journey.

Before long, the group entered the Land of Rivers.

"The environment here is quite nice."

Orochimaru was surprised, never expecting that there would be such a country nestled between mountains and water next to the Land of Wind.

"It is a buffer zone between the two countries of wind and fire."

Kazami Hatake answered as he hurried along.

"This country is in a terrible state, much like the Land of Whirlpools now."

Akabane pondered for a moment before speaking.

Despite possessing fertile land, it was coveted by two powerful nations, resulting in numerous rebellious ninjas within its territory.

There's no way this situation could possibly develop!

"We are heading to a relatively prosperous city in the Land of Rivers, but there are a lot of rogue ninja."

Akabane continued.

This information was obtained by him from Izumi Kou.

"Rogue ninja..."

Orochimaru licked his lips, showing no fear whatsoever, but rather excitement in his eyes.

A rogue ninja?

That means you can kill someone without taking responsibility.

"Hey, Orochimaru, what are you so excited about?"

Jiraiya said in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little excited about the possibility of a battle."

Orochimaru said calmly.

"They dare not attack Konoha."

"That's what Kazami Hatake said."

Rogue ninja have their own rules, one of which is not to attack Konoha.

This place is too close to Konoha; if we make a move, we'll die.

They moved quickly, and soon after crossing the mountains and forests, the town came into view.

The town is not large, but compared to the land of rivers, it is already a very prosperous area.

"I'll go find the caravan first. You all can have some fun."

Upon arriving in town, Akabane prepared to part ways with the others temporarily.

"Hey, that's too dangerous!"

"Tsunade said anxiously."

Kazami Hatake didn't speak, but just watched them quietly.

"If you're worried, I'll go too."

Orochimaru smiled faintly and said, "It just so happens that I'm not interested in this area. If the two of us are together, we can look out for each other."

"Um... well."

Kazami Hatake nodded.

Since the Jonin had agreed, Tsunade had no choice but to let the two leave the team, even if she was worried.

"Father, are you alright?"

Shuo Mao frowned; he sensed that the two guys' purpose in leaving wasn't so simple.

"Do not care."

Kazami Hatake's reply was very simple.

As a Jonin and the head of a clan, he certainly didn't believe that Akabane's departure was simply to find a caravan.

but……

What does it have to do with him.

The Land of Rivers is chaotic and disorderly, and the rogue ninjas there are all wicked villains who commit all sorts of evil deeds.

He had no objection to killing or whatever.

However, if Akabane and Orochimaru want to leave the team, they will have to bear the consequences of leaving.

"After entering the city, form groups of three or four and have free time to move around."

After finishing his sentence, Kazami Hatake took the lead and headed towards the town.

……

Why did you follow me?

"I sense you're going to do something fun, so I'm joining in the fun."

Orochimaru licked his lips, extremely excited.

"I'm just going to inform the caravan..."

"King Akabane, do you even believe what you're saying?"

Orochimaru didn't believe it.

Akabane was helpless.

This guy is just like Jiraiya when it matters.

"My caravan is cooperating with others and has come to the Land of Rivers in disguise, hoping to open up a long-term trade route. Therefore, we cannot reveal our identity as Konoha ninjas."

Akabane explained.

Through Izumi Hiroshi Yamano's introduction, another caravan agreed to try selling comics, and this collaboration was to open up sales channels in the River Country region.

There are rules underground.

If Konoha ninjas were to participate, it would actually be more troublesome in a place like the Land of Rivers.

"So that's it..."

Orochimaru chuckled and removed his headband.

Transformation!

In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into the appearance of the others.

Akabane paused for a moment.

It must be said that Orochimaru's mastery of transformation techniques is comparable to that of those obtained through the system.

"I just wanted to test out my newly created ninjutsu. If I don't encounter any enemies, I won't cause you any trouble."

Orochimaru shrugged.

"We're already together, what's the point of saying all this?"

Akabane shook his head, and at the same time, he changed his appearance using the same transformation technique.

Keep going forward and you'll reach the agreed-upon location.

"Kiba-kun, you should have said that sooner."

Orochimaru sneered and quickened his pace. "I can already sense it. A lot of ninjas..."

Akabane walked slowly forward.

Since Orochimaru is going to do it anyway, he's happy to save his energy.

If Orochimaru can't even handle ordinary rogue ninjas, he might as well give up.

"Comics? What the hell?!"

"What's the point of these comic books? And did you get our permission to sell these things?"

Voices came from ahead.

“We have already paid Lord Bajing, and he has allowed us to trade here.”
