The status of the Jinchuriki in each village was similar.
They were the strongest weapons in the village, but in the eyes of the higher-ups, they were weapons. In the eyes of the commoners, they were monsters. No one treated them as normal people.
Mito Vortex was an exception.
The progress of the curse seal was originally slow. With Orochi Maru's current knowledge, it was impossible to research it based on theoretical knowledge. But with Akabane's help …
In just one day, he felt like he had seen the door to the curse seal.
"This guy."
It was already evening, and the shadow clone had already dissipated.
Orochi Maru wasn't worried about this.
What he cared about was why Akabane had painstakingly guided him to discover the mystery of the curse seal.
"Orochi Maru -sama, the sealing team is in place and ready to assist at any time."
"Very good."
Orochi Maru nodded, took a deep breath, extracted a part of the curse seal's power, and then used a special method to inject it into the body of the Jashin follower.
This Jashin follower was special.
In order to ensure that the curse seal could be fused, all the Chakra in his body was removed, and then he sealed the curse seal into the follower's body …
Akabane naturally sensed the disappearance of the shadow clone.
There wasn't anything important on the Third Generation's side, so he could only helplessly return to the comic shop and help out.
After all, there would be a lot of updates tomorrow — of course, the number wouldn't increase, but the content needed to be original to a certain extent.
Because next, Pain would invade and kill people along the way, and finally use Shinra Tensei to clear out the scene.
Danzo had a lot of appearances, but now it was Mitokado Homura.
In order to hide Mitokado Homura's "insidiousness", he redrew the manuscript several times, and it wasn't until the evening that he finally finished the update. The result was quite good. Tanaka Danzo only appeared once with Koharu, and there were no other scenes.
However, there were some people who didn't appear often, but still had a strong presence.
Danzo was such a person.
In order to check the effects of the manga, Akabane got up very early the next day. At this time, the manga probably hadn't been delivered to the Wood Leaf shop yet.
Even so, there were already many people sitting in the small teahouse at the entrance.
Not all of them came here to wait for the update. Most of them came here to drink fruit juice and tea, while waiting for the update and chatting. This had become a daily activity for many people.
Akabane considered opening a chess club next to the small teahouse to bring the "quintessence" of his previous life to the ninja world, but he had some concerns, and the venue was not big enough, plus there were many projects at hand, so he temporarily postponed the chess club.
It was worth mentioning that Gu Jie had already sent over two wooden carvings.
One was the Second Hokage – Tobirama Senju, and the other was the childhood version of the protagonist, Uzumaki Naruto. For this reason, Akabane wanted to draw a Shadow Clone to color the "figurine".
Because of this, the task of updating the game had increased. Moreover, the next ten chapters were not easy to draw. There were all sorts of complicated battle scenes, and the difficulty was quite high.
Of course.
The main reason was that the climax of Naruto and One Piece were brought together. Pain's invasion of Wood Leaf was exciting and complex. The same was true for Enies Lobby. The characters, buildings, and characters were no less than Naruto's.
For this reason, each of the Shadow Clones worked hard, except for the main body.
Salted fish was really difficult to change in a short time, but the Shadow Clones didn't expect him to change. They would be happy if they could at least contribute a little.
After all, at the beginning, this dead salted fish didn't contribute at all, but now he was at least willing to draw two or three chapters a day. What more could they ask for?
From morning to noon, Akabane was bored to death and completed two chapters of One Piece.
At this time, Yamano Izumi finally delivered the manga that was printed today. The guards took the boxes of manga from the car. They didn't need to do anything, as many ninjas came to take the manga.
"Everyone …"
"It doesn't matter, we will definitely get the money anyway."
Yamano Izumi wanted to stop them from taking the manga, but he was stopped by Kumuro.
How much did these manga cost?
Nowadays, the real income was mostly from fruit juice and snacks, manga was just a side income.
Moreover, everyone in Konoha knew who this comic shop belonged to. It was Konoha's second-in-command's shop. If anyone was caught cheating today, they might be sent to the Anbu for a drink tomorrow.
Although it wouldn't be a big deal, they would definitely lose face.
With the "help" of the spectators, two or three boxes of manga didn't need to be filled, which greatly reduced the workload.
Hearing that the manga was delivered, Akabane took a detour and used the transformation technique to sit down in the small tea room. He wanted to see what other people thought about the content of today's manga.
Everyone's opinion was related to how Akabane would arrange Danzo's future. For this reason, he and his Shadow Clones decided to draw One Piece instead of Naruto.
Anyway, he woke up early and there was still half a day left.
The first person to sit down in the small tea room had already received the manga and began to read it.
At the beginning, the two troublemakers came out.
Danzo and Koharu.
But as soon as he started, there was a burst of laughter in the small teahouse. Red Feather was confused. I thought, there was nothing funny in these ten sentences.
"What are you laughing at?"
Akabane couldn't help but ask Chunin.
"Cough, this …"
He was a little hesitant and looked at the room with some fear.
Was he afraid of Akabane?!
At this time, a straightforward man on the side said: "The manga looks like it was done by Homura, but in fact, everyone knows that it was Danzo sama's idea. It's not me who said it, but Homura …"
"Hey, watch your words."
Chunin on the side pulled on the man's sleeve.
Although Homura had fallen and was imprisoned in the Anbu, the Homura family was still a small family. It was not good for civilians to speak so bluntly.
Akabane looked at the Ninja sitting next to him. He was wearing a vest and was at least Chunin.
"No matter how you look at it, this was done by Danzo sama."
Chunin said in a low voice.
"Homura sama is also very strong, but it's more likely that … in some decisions, this kind of decisive and ruthless style is a bit different from him."
Before, no one dared to answer Akabane's words, mainly because they were afraid of Danzo and Homura. After all, although it was a manga, the characters were based on real life.
Since someone opened the door, everyone immediately echoed and spoke.
Hmm ~
In fact, they could be more straightforward. Homura basically didn't have his own ideas, and he didn't have the courage to do such a thing.
The name "Pot Kage" was supported by everyone.
Akabane sighed in his heart. If this was the case, he could only let his teacher down.
This pot, you should take it back.
He thought about it and prepared to go back and draw the follow-up content.
The manga's plot was ready.
…
Anbu. Danzo got up early and came here. After dealing with a lot of chores, he took a break and naturally thought of yesterday's manga.
According to the time, it should have been updated today.
So he called one of his subordinates and asked if there was a manga for today.
Danzo had previously ordered that the manga should be delivered as soon as possible unless he was on official business. So, it didn't take long for an Anbu to bring the manga to his office.
Danzo picked it up and opened it, and soon he saw the content of the first sentence.
From a rational point of view, there was no problem with Koharu's decision. Akatsuki's goal was to capture Kyuubi, so the way to make Akatsuki fail was to prevent them from getting Kyuubi.
The most reliable choice was undoubtedly to hide Naruto. Naruto happened to be in Mount Myoboku, which was an excellent hiding place. There was no need to summon Naruto back.
Of course.
From the point of view of trusting Naruto to defeat Pain, Tsunade's decision was also correct. Doing so would save the villagers' lives to the greatest extent.
Between the two choices, Danzo would agree with Homura's approach. Although he didn't think that Homura would have such courage when faced with such a difficult problem.
Looking at this side, he couldn't help but pause for a moment. He looked up and asked, "What do the other people in the village think about this matter?"
"Uh … Danzo-sama, this …"
The Anbu Ninja hesitated.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything because of these things. If I do, I'm afraid that the people I want to catch will be all over the Shinobi World."
Danzo understood his subordinate's concerns.
"Most people mean that Danzo-sama doesn't have such courage and decisiveness. Most of them think that you're the one behind the scenes who really doesn't agree with Naruto's return."
The more the Anbu Ninja spoke, the lower his voice became.
However, Danzo was fully prepared. After all, when he looked at his subordinate's situation, he knew that other people didn't have good opinions.
He nodded gently, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, I got it. You can go and do your own thing first."
"Yes."
It was difficult to see Danzo's mood from his appearance, and the Anbu Ninja didn't dare to look at Danzo's expression at the moment. When he heard that he was asked to leave, he immediately retreated.
Danzo sat in his seat, his fingers tapped on the table, and his other hand flipped through the pages.
Turning to the back, he began to think.
If the village really encountered such a thing, should he save himself or rush up and do his part?
From the manga's picture, Pain's ability was unknown, and he was almost invincible for a short time. The villagers in the manga couldn't defeat him.
Even if Danzo came out, he wouldn't have a better ending than Kakashi.
After all, it was the Rinnegan.
So the choice was to be a hero for a second, or choose to save himself …
Every Hokage's destiny is to sacrifice everything for the Wood Leaf, to protect the villagers, even the most recent Hokage Tsunade in the manga did this.
Protect or preserve strength?
This was similar to the question that the Second Hokage gave him.
After many years, Danzo was still very concerned about that matter. He thought that if he could choose again, he could do what Sarutobi did, but at this moment, he probably couldn't do it.
It was the most difficult to recognize himself, and it was even more difficult to admit his shortcomings, not to mention that Danzo always had some obsession with the position of Hokage. But at this moment, facing this choice, he understood:
"Sensei, you didn't choose wrong, Sarutobi is more suitable than me to be Hokage, and I'm only suitable for the darkness."
