I'm drawing manga in Naruto

"I didn't eat the face-saving fruit, so where does the face come from!"

Akabane curled his lip. He had only met Kazami Hatake once before, so there was no special treatment between them.

What is "face fruit"?

Orochimaru was taken aback, not understanding whether Akabane's words were humorous or meant anything by them.

"If you eat the fruit of your imagination, everyone will give you face."

Akabane made a casual joke.

Orochimaru was stunned, then realized that this guy must be joking.

There's no such fruit in the world.

At this moment, Anmashan Yuan came out of the house.

He glanced at Orochimaru, then calmly said, "Akabane, I've left five Chunin behind; the rest of you will come with us to the Land of Wind."

Five Chunin...

If Jinsha hadn't been killed, these five wouldn't have been enough to fill a tooth gap.

However, even if Orochimaru couldn't handle it, the remaining five people could still deal with the newly appointed local tyrant.

Due to the impact of war, the land of rivers has always been very poor.

Apart from a few refugees, almost no one would run this way, and most of the refugees were only at the level of Chunin or Genin.

However, considering this, the origin of gold dust is probably not simple.

Akabane glanced at Orochimaru as he walked.

If that guy was sent by Sunagakure, things are probably going to get a bit complicated.

However, the manner of Kinsha's death is more in line with the methods of the Hidden Mist Village. As long as Orochimaru is not caught, escaping would be a piece of cake.

As they walked along the street, many people stared at them with predatory eyes.

The chaos in the land of rivers is evident from this.

Not long after, Akabane saw Jiraiya—this guy must have done something wrong, because he was tied up.

"Ha, an idiot is an idiot..."

Seeing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but provoke Jiraiya.

"You stinking Orochimaru, I'm going to kill you!"

Jiraiya struggled excitedly, but he was bound by ropes and couldn't move at all.

"what's the situation?"

Anma Sangen was a little confused. He remembered that this guy was one of their own!

Kazami Hatake's lips twitched slightly, and he finally said simply, "It's nothing, let's go."

Needless to say, he was arrested for taking photos.

Akabane shrugged, showing no sympathy for his bound companion.

Chapter 110 Can we set up a stall here?

“A long, long time ago, I came to the Land of Wind with my father. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye…”

The same scenery, the same yellow sand and Gobi desert.

Faced with this scene, Anma Mountain Source couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

Kazami Hatake didn't speak, but instead looked warily in one direction and called out, "Friends from the Sand Village hiding in the shadows, we've come from Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams."

"Kazami Hatake! Hmph, I didn't expect it to be you leading the team."

Sand Ninja!

Everyone was startled and quickly looked towards the direction from which the sound came—before them appeared a strange "monster".

"puppet!"

Anmashan Yuan's expression was solemn.

"This is a puppet?"

Tsunade looked at it curiously; from the outside, it seemed to be a kind of mechanism.

"The main body hides away, using the puppet to fight..."

Zi Xiao secretly remembered it.

These are all fighting habits of the Sand Ninja, which will be of great help to them in the upcoming Chunin Exams.

"Let's go."

Kazami Hatake stopped looking at him and turned to head towards Sunagakure.

"Damn it, that guy!"

The ninja hidden in the sand paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth in anger.

This guy didn't even say hello.

however……

Who remembers the name of that nobody?

The Hatake clan is exceptionally talented; for example, Kazami was an elite Jonin in the battle.

For him, enemies who were not Jonin were not worth remembering.

Moreover, he's someone who hides his true intentions.

After traveling for a while, Kurama Gen lifted the carriage door and saw Akabane lying limp inside. He asked with concern, "Akabane, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a little... exhausted."

Akabane's voice was weak and listless—half of it was true, and half of it was an act.

Since entering the Land of Wind, the dryness, heat, and sandstorms have made it difficult for him to adapt.

If you're not feeling well, of course you should lie down!

"It looks like it's getting better. Normally, after a little more rest, it should be able to get out of bed and walk."

Tsunade leaned over for a look, then said with certainty.

She had learned some medical skills from Mito, and although she hadn't used them in a long time, Akabane's condition wasn't even considered an illness, so diagnosing the symptoms was no problem at all.

"No...don't say that, I'm quite ill."

Akabane choked for a moment.

Does this guy already have this kind of medical skill?

Having finally managed to lie down, he had no desire to stand up and walk on this damn desert road again.

"You just want to slack off, don't you!"

Tsunade looked at her with disdain, but her posture...

"Tch, you clearly want to sit too."

Akabane lay down comfortably.

There's a saying that goes, "It's not that I'm afraid of a smart opponent, it's that I'm afraid of an opponent who has no desires or ambitions."

If Tsunade has a need, then things are easier to discuss.

"hey-hey!"

Tsunade smiled and sat down on the edge of the car, refusing to get out.

Kuramayama Gen opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent out of rationality.

If you want to live a good life, you have to turn a blind eye to some things, since he can't afford to offend either of them.

Besides, it's no big deal to hitch a ride.

However, even horses find it difficult to adapt to the desert and Gobi.

They moved forward slowly, step by step, until the weather gradually cooled down in the afternoon.

As darkness fell, finally...

"Sunagakure Village, we've arrived at Sunagakure Village!"

Jiraiya's voice sounded.

Akabane immediately lifted the curtain—not far away, a building with a distinct Sunagakure style appeared before him.

The sky was dark, but under the dim sunlight, Sunagakure appeared incredibly beautiful and lovely in everyone's eyes.

"finally reached!"

Akabane lifted the curtain and saw the desert-style house, feeling a surge of emotion.

I'm never coming back to this awful place again!

"Hurry up and find a place to stay, I can't wait to take a shower."

Tsunade shouted.

After walking for a long time in the desert, they finally arrived at Sunagakure Village. Everyone was eager to go to their lodgings to take a bath and rest.

Akabane got out of the car and joined the others to enter Sunagakure.

As they approached the door, they suddenly sensed a murderous aura.

Turning their heads, they saw a boy who was only slightly older than Akabane and the others, staring intently at them from a distance.

Kazami Hatake glanced at him sideways, then ignored him.

"The ninja of Konoha... it's you!"

The Chunin guarding the gate didn't recognize him at first, but when Kazami Hatake looked at him, his face and eyes instantly brought back memories.

He was somewhat frightened; his hand holding the pen was trembling.

Just then, the boy in the distance walked over.

The Chunin at the door felt ashamed, bowed slightly to the boy, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

The young man nodded in response, then his gaze swept over the crowd, and he frowned, saying, "Guests from Konoha, huh? How come there are so many people?"

"The caravan was mentioned to Lord Kazekage."

Kazami Hatake said calmly.

"Alright, welcome everyone. Please register your names first, and then I will take you to your rest area for today."

He didn't dwell on it and simply brushed it off.

Akabane observes in secret.

The boy had dark blue hair and looked young, but the fact that the Chunin had bowed to him earlier indicated that he was of high status.

Such characteristics...

The future third generation?

Not only that, this guy isn't wearing a Chunin uniform, so he might still be a Genin!

"Sha has a really tough card up his sleeve."

He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was extremely surprised.

The Third Kazekage was destined to be the strongest Kazekage in the future. Although he died a miserable death, he was indeed a dignified person in life.

I need to remind everyone...

Akabane shifted his gaze from him to the autograph sheet on the table.

Several names are already on the list, written by Chunin.

Kazami Hatake glanced at the list, calmly wrote down the names of the others, and then handed the list to the gatekeeper chunin.

"Distinguished guests, please follow me."
