Chapter 115

Shinku Yūhi and Yamada Kurama thought that Jiraiya had a lot of faith and worked hard for it.

He spent the whole morning working hard painting.

This child is a little stiff, but he has extraordinary innate talent when it comes to art. As in Akabane’s previous life, Japan has great artists like Kei Mizuryu.

“Akabane-San, what are we going to do with these comic books?”

Shinku Yūhi saw comic books on the shelf. Based on the cooperation agreement, they no longer needed to set up a stall.

“We will donate it.”

Akabane said casually. After all, he didn’t want much money, so he donated it.

“Donated?”

Yamada Kurama was astonished. He couldn’t understand Akabane’s thoughts, but he felt that Akabane and the Kazekage had the same understanding secretly.

With the Kazekage’s approval, we’ll have no trouble on the Land of Rivers. There is nothing to worry about comic book sales and trade routes.

Akabane silently thought in his heart.

“We’ll be gone for a while, Yamada-San. You will be here to take care of the stall, and we have to go to training.”

Akabane got up and didn’t intend to stay.

Their primary purpose in coming to Sunagakure is to take the Chūnin Exams. Although Akabane didn’t really care about that, for Jiraiya and Shinku Yūhi, it was an excellent opportunity to show off their abilities.

As for Jiraiya…

For a long time, many people in Konoha had doubts when they found out that he was under the Third Hokage guidance.

This rumour can be eliminated only by showing all of Jiraiya’s abilities.

“Why don’t we stay here longer?”

Jiraiya was reluctant to leave the stall.

Previously, he wanted to be recognized by the Third Hokage of the Ninja field. However, after Orochimaru tricked him. he didn’t care about those things anymore.

“I have no problem with that. I’m running out of inspiration anyway.”

Shinku Yūhi put away his drawing tools and prepared to leave.

He learned painting from Akabane to improve his Genjutsu abilities.

However, he didn’t get the slightest improvement from this method, but his drawing skills had significantly improved, and now even his notebook could be easily controlled.

If he continues to practice his drawing skills, as long as there is a good storyline, he can create his own comic book.

“All right, you guys can go to practice, leave everything to me here.”

Yamada Kurama understood their situation.

They have come here to carry out their duties.

Akabane nodded and turned around.

The training stadium was not only used by the Sunagakure ninja, but there were many Ninjas from a small village who trained there.

Everyone watched each other, but they were very careful when practising, and no one wanted their ‘Ace Card’ to be discovered by the opponent.

“Forget it. The Chūnin Exams are very close anyway.”

Akabane didn’t want to bother collecting information anymore.

Of the twelve people from Konoha, none of them had special abilities. Even Jiraiya was seen as the weakest participant, as for Shinku Yūhi, at least he had a brush, so there was no need to worry.

The three of them returned to the residence…

“Everyone’s away to train. Jiraiya, go to Mount Myōboku to train, remember to come back in three days.”

Seeing that there was no one in residence, Akabane advised Jiraiya to train at Mount Myōboku.

The Third Hokage couldn’t even teach him, let alone Kazami Hatake.

Right now, Great Toad Sage is his best mentor.

“Eh, what would Kazami-San say if I left …?”

Jiraiya hesitated.

“Don’t worry. I’ll talk to him.”

Akabane waved his hand.

“Okay then!”

Jiraiya became convinced and immediately went to Mount Myōboku with no intention of staying.

“And for Shinku, you …”

Akabane stopped.

“Please teach me Genjutsu, Akabane-Sensei!”

Shinku Yūhi lowered his head. Even though Akabane was his age, he asked very politely.

Apart from the Uchiha Clan, only Akabane understood Genjutsu the best here.

“Akabane-Sensei, how about we teach each other?”

The Chūnin exams would arrive in three days. It would be quite a long time of special training.

Akabane had doubts about the plans he was offered, but practising with Shinku Yūhi will produce good seeds no matter what.

Besides, if he helped Shinku Yūhi train, Kazami Hatake would have no reason to torment him.

This is a great plan!

….

The next day, at the Kazekage Office.

“Sensei, this is a plan I made. Please check it out.”

Sasuke handed him a sheet of paper.

Shamon read it, then nodded and said: “Your plan is quite good, but did you know that Konoha recently had a Comic Exhibition in the Land of Fire.”

“Comic Exhibition?”

Sasuke’s face is blank. What new vocabulary is this?

Shamon got the information the Anbu gathered, and after a moment of reflection, he said: “It’s like a comic book-based entertainment and party show.”

“So it’s like that … but they even invited Daimyō. Could that trivial comic book interest him?

Sasuke said in disbelief.

Seeing his disciple’s reaction, Shamon only glanced at him.

This kid says he’s unattractive comic books, but the Anbu say otherwise.

Of course…

Young people like the look, he should understand more, at this time the atmosphere was quiet for a while.

Sasuke felt something was wrong with his opinion.

After he had been silent for a while, he said shyly: “So you mean, we are going to make an event like that too?”

“We still have to wait and investigate. I’m even more curious about them compared to the contents of other comic book stories …”

Shamon leaned back in his chair.

I wouldn’t know if I didn’t check it. I sent the Anbu to investigate specifically about the other comic books that have been popular in Konoha for a long time.

In addition, they also managed to take advantage of this trend to discuss problems that occurred in the Land of Whirlpools.

“Another comic book? Don’t they only have One Piece!”

Sasuke’s voice immediately rose a little, and his eyes seemed to glow.

But Sasuke immediately fell silent when he realized he was too excited.

Shamon gave him a stern look, and after a few seconds, he said: “I didn’t really think about it. Now we need to focus on the Chūnin Exams.”

“Yes!”

Sasuke smiled.

“The Konoha ninja have been doing some personal activity since yesterday …”

Shamon threw a piece of paper regarding yesterday’s Konoha Ninja movement report.

Sasuke read and saw that it looked even weirder in his eyes, frowned and said: “I’ve been training and refusing visitors, but I haven’t been out since yesterday afternoon. What special training is this?”

“You can use comic book creation as an excuse. Go to them to ask and see what happens.”

Shamon said lightly.

The inactive enemy is the most terrifying. According to them, the Konoha group was in this state.

“Fine, leave it to me!”

Sasuke immediately put aside the other Konoha comic books and focused on this matter.

Adequate restraint is one of its strengths.

“Apart from that, your own strength should also be increased.”

Shamon handed me a scroll, inside which contained information about the research he had done in the last few days, “This is the result of my research. You can learn some of the latest improvements to the Magnet Release technique.”

“Thank you, teacher!”

Without hesitation, Sasuke picked it up and gave a grateful bow.

“For Sunagakure, defend it, Sasuke!”

Shamon’s tone rose.

This was the first time the joint Chunin Exams were being held in the Land of Wind. If they lost badly in their own territory, they would genuinely lose face.

If it weren’t for the Chūnin Exams, Sasuke would have been promoted to Jōnin Commander after the war ended.

Based on the Land of Rivers’ information, he felt that Sasuke was not strong enough compared to the person called Akabane Kurama, even if he could not see through.
