A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

"Uh?"

Asma turned to look at Yang Lei and asked, "What? You don't want to live with me?"

“I can’t be Uncle Asma’s burden, can I? You should find a girlfriend while you’re still young and full of life,” Yang Lei said with a smile. His tone was not at all childish like that of a four or five-year-old; on the contrary, it was overly mature.

Fortunately, children in the Naruto world mature very early. Don't you see how little Sakura and little Ino became enemies because of little Sasuke?

Therefore, Asuma and the Third Generation were not too surprised by Yang Lei's performance.

“Asma, if he doesn’t want to be with you, you shouldn’t force him.”

At this moment, the Third Hokage spoke up. He first looked at Yang Lei with some guilt, then turned to Asuma and said, "Go home and rest for a day. I will get the relevant documents ready for you tomorrow. Then you can continue to complete the village's mission as an elite Chunin."

"?"

Looking at Yang Lei with a questioning expression, and seeing him making gestures and expressions to indicate that he was OK and there was no problem, Asma rolled her eyes in annoyance and turned to leave.

Asma and the Third Hokage haven't reconciled yet. Although they're not exactly enemies, they're somewhat estranged. Asma left without even saying goodbye, which infuriated the Third Hokage.

"Little friend," the third generation finally calmed down after a while and asked Yang Lei with a smile, "What's your name? How old are you?"

“My name is Yang Lei, and I am five years old,” Yang Lei replied.

On the way to Konoha Village, Asuma had planned to give him a name, since he thought Yang Lei had amnesia. However, Yang Lei revealed his own name, forcing Asuma to abandon the idea.

As for his age, Yang Lei just randomly assigned it based on his appearance. He could have said four years old, but he wanted to be a year older.

After all, for men in the Naruto world, the earlier they are sixteen, the better. Not only can they do *that*, but they also need to be sixteen to drink and smoke.

"At five years old, let's go to the relief building where Naruto lives. Maybe Naruto can find a companion. After all, little Yang Lei won't dislike little Naruto right away."

The third generation leader pondered for a moment, then made a decision and took out a document to write.

This is why Yang Lei was brought back by Sarutobi Asuma; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get close to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Come."

After scribbling for a while, the Third Hokage picked up the document and came to Yang Lei's side outside. Pointing to the lower right corner of the document, he said, "As long as you sign your name here, you will be a member of our Konoha Village from now on. We will also help you set up a relief fund until you graduate from the Ninja Academy at the age of twelve. During this period, not only will your house be free, but your water and electricity will be free, your tuition will be free, and you will even receive a decent living allowance every month."

"Oh."

Yang Lei pretended to be confused and responded, then quickly wrote down his name in Chinese characters: Yang Lei.

"Ding dong."

Just then, a clear and crisp sound suddenly rang out in his mind, startling Yang Lei. Then, a small, transparent frame appeared in front of him, completely invisible to anyone else except him. On it were clearly written four large characters: Infinite System.

"Infinite System?"

A gasp escaped Yang Lei's lips as he unconsciously widened his eyes, his surprise evident. Fortunately, the Third Hokage was looking back at him for something, which prevented him from noticing, otherwise he would have definitely noticed his unusual behavior.

"Finally found it."

A while later, the third generation finally found the thing, let out a long sigh and turned around. By then, Yang Lei had returned to normal.

"Little Yang Lei, take this. I'll send someone to take you to complete the check-in procedures and get the relief fund," the Third Hokage said, handing over a small iron ornament. He then waved for an ANBU member to come in through the window, and the member led Yang Lei out.

"Come with me."

The voice of the member of the secret service was very clear and crisp; he must have been a young boy. He led Yang Lei outside, and the two of them walked through the streets and alleys and soon arrived at a department that specialized in handling Yang Lei's business.

"Okay, here's your room key, and this is your living expenses for this month. Remember to come and collect it on the first of every month."

The staff at the office were very friendly and quickly completed Yang Lei's application. They took the small iron ornament from his hand and handed him a set of three door keys and a small purse.

"Thank you, Uncle," Yang Lei said with a smile, waving goodbye to the man before walking out.

"Come with me."

The secret agent was still waiting at the door. When he saw Yang Lei come out, he turned around and left, telling Yang Lei to follow him.

Led by this secret agent, Yang Lei finally arrived at a very old building. Every window was crowded together, and each room was probably not very big. It was probably built specifically to be used as a relief housing.

Yang Lei had no complaints about this. Just a few days ago, he was living in the worst kind of basement. In terms of quality, this was already pretty good. Not only was it upstairs without dampness, but it also had windows. How wonderful!

"Do you need me to take you to your place?"

The member of the secret service didn't leave immediately. Instead, he turned to Yang Lei and asked him a question.

"?"

Yang Lei's pupils suddenly contracted slightly. Fortunately, the other person was not staring into his eyes and did not notice this. He quickly shook his head and said, "No need, I can go and look for it myself. Thank you for your trouble, ANBU boss."

"You're welcome. I'll head back now if there's nothing else," the ANBU member nodded, then made a hand seal and used some kind of ninjutsu before disappearing in an instant.

"Is it the Body Flicker Technique?" Yang Lei muttered to himself as he stepped into the building, but his mind was far from calm. This was not only because of the discovery of the Infinite System, but also because of what he had just found on the Dark Division members.

"I didn't see his face clearly before, so I didn't notice. That's Sharingan, right? Who is this Anbu member under the Third Hokage? Is it Itachi, Shisui, or someone else?"

0004 See the Eye of Antiquity

Chapter 4

Putting aside his distractions for a moment, Yang Lei wandered around the building for a while before finally finding his room on the sixth floor. It turned out to be room number 616, which was quite auspicious.

Pushing open the door and entering his own home for the first time, Yang Lei looked around with great curiosity. Although the house was dusty, indicating that no one had lived there for a long time, some furniture was still there, such as an old refrigerator and an equally old electric fan, as well as a single bed in the small bedroom, which was enough for him alone.

"This room must be at least 30 or 40 square meters, right?"

After walking around the room, Yang Lei felt that the one-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom apartment he was assigned was quite good. The space of thirty or forty square meters was simply too big for a five-year-old child like him.

"It's getting late, let's go to sleep first, and then we can go for a walk in the village tomorrow."

Muttering to himself, Yang Lei lay down on the bed fully clothed, closed his eyes, and was about to fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, a pair of bright little eyes suddenly lit up in the dark room. Yang Lei, who should have been sleeping soundly, sat up abruptly. Without turning on the light, he muttered to himself, "I wonder if that shameless old man, the Third Generation, will use that crystal ball to spy on me. I really had to suppress my excitement before and didn't dare to do anything unusual. Now it should be fine."

With that thought in mind, Yang Lei silently called out in his heart, following the prompts he had seen earlier: "Infinite System".

"Om."

A silent, unseen wave rippled in front of Yang Lei, and then a transparent cube appeared before him—the Infinite System panel that had appeared once before.

Looking ahead by the moonlight, one could see that the Infinite System's panel was very simple, with not many options, only task options, attribute options, shop options, and bloodline options.

"A mission?"

Yang Lei's heart stirred. He remembered that it was because he officially joined Konoha Village that the Infinite System was activated. Otherwise, he would not have known that he had such a cheat. He raised his hand and opened the mission option first.

"Main Mission 1: Choose a faction to join. Upon completion, you will receive 500,000 reward points. Failure will result in the deduction of all reward points and permanent removal from the mission world. Note: There are only two major factions to choose from: the Allied Shinobi Forces and Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"Main Mission Two: Help your chosen faction achieve final victory. Mission completion rewards you with 500,000 reward points. Mission failure results in the deduction of all reward points and permanent removal from the mission world."

At this point, the first main quest has been marked as completed and is slowly disappearing, until only the second main quest remains on the quest panel.

"Now that I've completed the first main quest, where have my reward points gone?"

Yang Lei frowned and searched up and down. Finally, he found a row of numbers at the bottom of the Infinite Panel, which was his 500,000 reward points.

Let's look at the other options.

After closing the mission option, Yang Lei opened the other three options and found that the shop option was the most diverse. It was not only divided into weapon shops, armor shops, department stores, and medicine shops, but also had more detailed classifications, such as weapons being divided into firearms and melee weapons, and firearms being divided into guns, tanks, airplanes, and so on.

After the shop options, the second option Yang Lei opened was the attribute options. At the top was his current attribute, which was pitifully low with only two dots around it. He couldn't bear to look at it, mainly because his body was too weak.

The Infinite System divides human attributes into four types: Strength, Constitution, Agility, and Spirit.

Strength is easy to explain; it refers to the amount of a person's strength. One unit of strength is equivalent to ten jin of force, which means that Yang Lei currently only has a pitiful twenty jin of strength.

Constitution refers to a person's physical qualities, including endurance and recovery ability.

Agility is easy to explain; it represents speed. One point of agility is one meter per second. In other words, Yang Lei's current speed is two meters per second. Not only is his body weak and frail, but his speed is also unbearable to look at.

The meaning of "spirit" is very broad, encompassing not only a person's mental strength but also their memory, mental agility, and so on.

After seeing his incredibly weak attribute values, Yang Lei could only sigh helplessly. Looking down, he saw a box below his personal attribute panel with four options: Strength Plus, Constitution Plus, Agility Plus, and Spirit Plus.

"So, you can buy attribute bonuses directly here?"

Yang Lei's eyes lit up, and he excitedly raised his hand to tap it.

"Wait, one attribute point sells for 10,000 reward points. In the Naruto world, I can only get a million reward points at most, but that's only 100 attributes. If you distribute them evenly, you'll only get 25 points each. Why don't you look at bloodlines instead?"

At the last moment, Yang Lei used his left hand to cover his right hand, and with suppressed excitement, he closed the attribute panel and opened the last bloodline option.

"I go."

As soon as the bloodline option was opened, Yang Lei almost swore. This wasn't out of anger, but rather because he was too excited.

The bloodline panel displayed countless bloodlines that captivated him, from various anime worlds, novels, movies, TV series, and games. In short, you could find any bloodline you could think of here.

For example, before Yang Lei traveled through time, he played a pretty good single-player game called Prototype, which was quite gory. The Blacklight virus from that game is here, as is the second-generation Redlight virus.

Not only that, but there are also Saiyan bloodlines, Otsutsuki bloodlines, and so on, in anime.

"But why can we only choose one bloodline?"

Just as Yang Lei was drooling over the sights, he suddenly noticed a prompt at the top that indicated he could only choose one bloodline, and he immediately began to complain with some dissatisfaction.

But then he thought about it and it made him realize that if he could choose his bloodline indefinitely, wouldn't that be too powerful?

"Unlimited choice of bloodline?"

A sudden thought popped into Yang Lei's mind, and he focused his attention on searching the bloodline panel, hoping to find the perfect bloodline in his mind.

The search went on for who knows how long, and even the first rays of the sun had risen from the horizon, but Yang Lei still hadn't found the ideal bloodline he wanted.

"I don't believe it doesn't exist. If the bloodline is so complete, then the bloodline should also exist."

Yang Lei stared with bloodshot eyes, refusing to give up no matter what, determined to find his target.

This is the disadvantage of having too low a mental attribute; at this point, he had already fallen into a kind of demonic state.

"Finally found it."

After a long while, Yang Lei let out a cheer, finally finding his target.

"That's it! See the Eye of Ancient Inquiry!"

0005 Asma's Inquiry

What is Jianjigu?

Chapter 5

The meaning is simple and straightforward; everyone can understand it at a glance. It means that you can fool the ancients just by looking at it once.

The phrase "seeing the eyes of the ancients" means that once someone has looked at you with these eyes, they will learn your skills and then surpass you in the process, which shows how terrifying they are.

So where do these terrifying eyes come from? They come from a novel called Kata no Tales, which was later adapted into an anime, and one of the characters in it has these terrifying pupil techniques.

Yang Lei had never read Daoyu before. He only knew about these eyes because he had heard someone mention them before. When he had nothing to do, he searched for them online and was shocked by what he found. He thought to himself that if someone awakened such eyes, they could do whatever they wanted in any world.

He hadn't thought of it before, but a thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly remembered it.

"The Eye of the Ancients bloodline cannot be upgraded, does not provide any attribute bonuses, and requires 500,000 reward points to unlock."

This is a brief introduction to the Eye of the Ancients, so simple it couldn't be simpler. It seems that apart from the cost and two weaknesses, there is no other description.

"As expected, he has the eye to see the past."

Yang Lei sighed inwardly, "What's wrong?"

While searching for the Eye of Revelation, Yang Lei saw many introductions to other bloodlines and discovered that all bloodlines had attribute bonuses, and the cheapest initial bloodline only cost tens of thousands of reward points.

Even though some of them are expensive, the kind that requires 500,000 reward points to unlock the bloodline at the beginning, it is different from the Eye of Learning. Not only does it have many bonus attributes, but it can also be upgraded later. Each time the bloodline is upgraded, a large number of attributes are obtained, and the strength will naturally increase accordingly.

It is evident that the Eye of Reflection not only does not provide any attribute bonuses, but also only has an initial level, meaning that it remains the same as it was when it was first activated.

If Yang Lei hadn't known how powerful the Eye of Knowledge was, he probably would have clicked the "X" button long ago and wouldn't have wasted any more time.

"I hope this Eye of Revelation is the one I know, otherwise, it would be a real disaster."

Yang Lei let out a long, stale breath. Without further hesitation, he raised his slightly trembling hand, gritted his teeth, and thrust it forward to purchase the Eye of Knowledge.

"Thorn."

The bloodline purchase was completed, and a flash of light suddenly appeared on Yang Lei's face. Then, he subconsciously let out a mournful howl: "My eyes, ah~".

He only managed to shout once before he could wake his neighbors, and then he collapsed from the pain.

"Crackling and popping."

After Yang Lei lost consciousness, small sparks occasionally flew from his eyes, lasting for more than a minute before finally stopping, and the small house fell silent again.

. . . . . .

"Boom bang bang."
