Naruto: I Draw Power Into Reality

In fact, Akaba hadn't lied to them.

Recently, he needed to complete the Wave Country arc and start the pirate story quickly. Therefore, two of his Multiple Shadow Clones worked on drawing Naruto while he personally handled the manga for One Piece.

Of course, this was a privilege of being the original body—laziness and slacking off were allowed.

Though it seemed like he was working hard, by the end of the afternoon, he'd drawn less than half a chapter, following the outline from an earlier clone.

"Big brother? There are three big brothers!"

Little Kyoyuki opened the door, about to talk when she saw three identical faces looking at her simultaneously.

"Oh, Kyoyuki, what's up?"

"Can't I come here for no reason?"

"You're way too straightforward!"

Akaba gritted his teeth in frustration. These two Multiple Shadow Clones must have been reincarnated trolls—capable of arguing back even after a simple greeting.

One hand seal.

Poof!

The two Multiple Shadow Clones disappeared together, after which he smiled smugly at Uzumaki Kyoyuki and said, "They're just my Shadow Clones; don't worry about them."

"Oh! These with exactly the same chakra are Multiple Shadow Clones too."

Kyoyuki nodded thoughtfully.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"Oh right, Uncle Yamano brought lots and lots of manga."

Kyoyuki excitedly gestured with both hands.

Again?

Such fast efficiency. Fortunately, today he worked overtime and finished the remaining plot for Wave Country.

Akaba was cringing inside but also delighted.

The higher the work efficiency, the greater potential there was for creating grand manga stories. What a tremendous blessing!

"Alright, I see."

Akaba replied, then turned and glanced at the sky outside.

It was already evening. Considering the promotional banners, opening tomorrow wasn't going to be possible.

Thinking about banners again made him wince slightly.

"Forget it, I'll prepare things myself. Relying on Yunlang was definitely a mistake."

Akaba sat down, mulling over what kind of slogan would be best.

After a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up.

"What is this?"

Little Kyoyuki curiously leaned closer, "Tomorrow morning... joint effort..."

"Cough, don't read that part out loud, Kyoyuki."

Akaba was cringing inside and quickly stopped her.

"Why not?"

"Just don't read it out loud, okay!"

He kept writing until he was almost finished with the banner.

Around the edges of the banner, he carefully drew some anime character figures for decoration.

"So cool-looking!"

Kyoyuki stared wide-eyed at the banner, fascinated.

"Hmph," he said smugly.

Akaba smiled as he folded the banner neatly before pulling out another blank sheet.

Next came posters.

"What are these?"

"Promotional materials, we'll hang them tonight."

Akaba briefly explained. Compared to banners, posters were much easier and quicker to produce.

Within minutes, he'd already completed them all.

"Brother, are you leaving? I want to go too!"

Getting the word out early would help boost sales tomorrow.

As for Uzumaki Kyoyuki,

Getting accustomed to a new environment, going out and walking around could only be beneficial. Naturally, Akaba wouldn't refuse her.

Manga Shop

"Haven't Mr. Akaba arrived yet?"

"No, but I've already sent someone to inform him. Master Yunlang should know by now."

Sakuma Yunlang apologized politely.

"It's fine. I'll wait a little longer."

Izumi Yamano nodded.

All the manga had already been taken down, so he could've gone home if nothing else came up.

Just then, two figures—one tall and one short—appeared in the distance.

"Sorry, sorry. I'm late."

Akaba apologized, "I had some things to organize, so I arrived later than expected."

"It's okay, Mr. Akaba. Do you also have a new manga volume for me to take back this time?"

The reason Izumi waited was for an update.

"Yes, this is Volume 6. It has eight chapters. Print them all at once."

Akaba handed him a hastily compiled manga, "Well, thank you for your efforts these days."

"Don't mention it. You, as the author, must be the one working the hardest."

Izumi smiled.

Each manga was sold for just a hundred silvers, and the production cost was low too. Their factory could earn a decent profit from manga sales.

"Yunlang, go to the usual spot and hang up this banner."

Akaba handed the banner over.

"Ah, young master, you've already finished it!"

Sakuma Yunlang scratched his head awkwardly, then kicked the old banner under the table with his foot.

Originally, he'd planned to reuse the last one. But admitting that now would probably get him scolded!

Unfolding the banner:

"Tomorrow morning, our collaborative manga officially updates. I'll strike a perfect balance between form and content, promoting ninja culture."

So long!

For a moment, Sakuma Yunlang was taken aback, then quietly pondered.

Other than the first two sentences, did anything else have special meaning?

"Probably my level isn't high enough to understand the profound meaning behind this banner."

Sakuma Yunlang thought to himself, then turned to look at the posters being arranged.

The posters were pretty standard—Zabuza and Kakashi facing off on a bridge, with the ninja named Haku and Sasuke Uchiha in the background.

Just looking at the illustrations conveyed the tense atmosphere.

"Ghost Man vs Copy Ninja."

"Naruto Bridge!"

Under each slogan was a list of chapter titles, which gave a brief idea of the plot.

Incredible! No wonder young master is amazing!

Sakuma Yunlang's admiration deepened, convinced that the banner he held concealed a brilliance he hadn't yet noticed.

Konoha didn't have an advertising budget. Yunlang hung the banner in a prominent street location. On his way back, curiosity finally got the better of him, and he asked, "Young Master, I saw your slogan. Although I don't really understand what it means, it looks impressive just by sight. Does it carry deep meaning?"

"Oh, that? I just felt inspired and wrote it that way."

Akaba replied casually.

"I see! Truly admirable, young master!"

Sakuma Yunlang admired and felt ashamed.

He had actually intended to use that terrible old banner again. The young master must have been unable to bear it and decided to write a new one himself.

"That's good then."

Akaba patted his shoulder, then motioned to the little girl.

Side by side, they began walking home.

After a few steps, the little girl whispered, "Brother, what exactly did the older guy say he understood?"

"Well, that's the mystery of promotion."

Akaba hesitated for a moment before replying.

Honestly, he didn't understand at all what Sakuma Yunlang was admiring. That slogan had just been a fleeting whim.

As long as the promotion could draw attention, make people notice, and clearly convey the core message, that was enough.

Like this one.

Fancy styles or flourishes weren't the focus—the key point was that the manga had updated.

Whatever the wording, it was still better than Sakuma Yunlang's dull promotional slogan. Though now it looked like Sakuma Yunlang kind of got the wrong idea.

"What mystery?"

"These things aren't important. I'm feeling pretty tired right now and need to head back to rest properly."

Akaba rubbed his temples, trying to relieve the strain on both mind and body.

Maintaining two Multiple Shadow Clones simultaneously while his main body was also working—he couldn't handle it even with enhanced vitality.

But his body could still endure it for now.

"Understood."
