A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

However, Yang Lei was not disappointed, at least he learned a new ninjutsu.

"Watch this move."

Sarutobi had already landed on the ground first. He shouted loudly and made a punching motion with his right hand towards the sky.

"Indestructible Vajra, transform."

"Whoosh."

With a loud shout, Sarutobi's right hand suddenly transformed into a golden cudgel, which stretched out and stabbed rapidly towards Yang Lei's body.

"Isn't Vajra indestructible?"

Yang Lei's eyes lit up, he crossed his arms over his chest and muttered to himself, "Indestructible Vajra."

"Om."

Suddenly, Yang Lei's arms transformed into a giant shield, blocking his way. Although Sarutobi's golden cudgel struck the shield, it caused no harm whatsoever; it merely produced a small, crisp sound.

"what?"

Sarutobi was taken aback. He looked at the shield Yang Lei had conjured and then at his own right hand, wondering, "How can he also be indestructible?"

The racial ability of the Demon Ape clan is different from ordinary transformation techniques. Ordinary transformation techniques are just a means of confusion. For example, in a certain scene in the original work, when Team 7 met Zabuza, Naruto used the transformation technique to turn into a windmill shuriken and had Sasuke throw it. This is because Zabuza did not know the truth. Otherwise, he would not have needed to dodge. Even if he was hit by him, he would not have been hurt.

The blade of the windmill shuriken that the transformation technique creates is fake.

Actually, it's easy to understand if you think about it. If transformation techniques could create such realistic illusions, what need would there be for magical weapons in the world? Everyone would only need to learn shadow clones and transformation techniques. Once you use transformation techniques, you could have any magical weapon you wanted.

However, the indestructible Vajra of the Demon Ape race is different. This racial ability not only makes the Demon Apes' bodies strong and sturdy, but also allows them to perform transformations that are so realistic that they are indistinguishable from the real thing.

In other words, the transformation technique used by the Demon Ape clan can actually turn them into weapons.

In particular, the clan leader, Ape Demon, transformed into a golden cudgel that could rival the divine weapon, the Kusanagi Sword.

"We have gained another powerful bloodline."

Yang Lei was secretly delighted. His racial ability was the limit of his bloodline. His Eye of Insight easily saw through and mastered the principle of Vajra Indestructibility. He unexpectedly discovered that Vajra Indestructibility not only gave him the ability to transform into a real weapon, but also greatly enhanced his defense.

To put it another way, even without actively activating Vajra Indestructible, his defense has been greatly enhanced; a light poke with a kunai wouldn't even break his skin.

If activated actively, even without transforming into a shield or armor, his physical defense is terrifying. According to his own estimation, even a divine weapon like the Kusanagi Sword would not be able to easily inflict much damage on him.

This is equivalent to putting on a layer of sand armor at any time. However, unlike Gaara's sand armor, Yang Lei has no burden, but it seems to take a lot of energy to activate.

"Speaking of which..."

Yang Lei raised his head from behind the shield and looked down at Sarutobi, muttering to himself, "How much more good stuff can we squeeze out of him? I'm really looking forward to it."

With anticipation in his heart, Yang Lei's speed increased, and he finally landed on the ground from mid-air.

"Hey kid 223, what's going on with you?"

Sarutobi frowned, still puzzled. Just like the Hyuga clan's love for the Byakugan, the Uchiha clan's love for the Sharingan, or other clans' love for their respective bloodline limits, for Sarutobi, indestructibility was a unique genetic talent belonging to their Demon Ape clan, a bloodline limit that only they could possess. How could Yang Lei have this bloodline? This didn't make sense.

Yang Lei smiled, knowing that the Demon Ape Clan had only signed a contract with the Sarutobi Clan, and that in the original work, they had never appeared again since the death of the Third Hokage, so he could rest assured that they would not leak the news.

"Take a look at this."

Yang Lei then raised his hand, pushed up his goggles, pointed to his eyes, and asked, "What did you see?"

"Oh my God."

Sarutobi exclaimed in surprise, instinctively taking a step back. He saw that Yang Lei's eyes were extremely strange; his left eye was a pure white eye, not only the white of the eye but also the pupil, as if he had been born with cataracts.

Compared to his left eye, his right eye was slightly better looking. Yang Lei's right eye had a bright red pupil in the middle, with three black tomoe slowly rotating in the center. It was very strange, but also very attractive, making people want to study what was going on.

"Gudong."

Sarutobi recognized the two eyes immediately and couldn't help but swallow, saying, "Sharingan? Byakugan? Who exactly are you, kid?"

0062 Yang Lei's Opening Remarks

No wonder Sarutobi was shocked; what Yang Lei revealed was truly terrifying.

How should I put it? The Byakugan is a bloodline limit unique to the Hyuga clan, a powerful family in Konoha, while the Sharingan is a bloodline limit unique to the Uchiha clan, another powerful family that has been destroyed. Now, the eye techniques of the two great families have appeared on Yang Lei at the same time, which is truly astonishing.

Chapter 65

For example, at this moment, Sarutobi was already letting his imagination run wild, thinking that Yang Lei had either stolen it from the two major families. As for how he stole it, everyone could imagine the possibilities, such as gouging out his eyes or something.

Alternatively, Yang Lei might be the subject of an experiment secretly conducted by Konoha Village, similar to the forbidden experiments Orochimaru conducted back then. It's just unknown who orchestrated Yang Lei's experiment.

Or perhaps, Yang Lei is the product of a secret union between the Hyuga and Uchiha clans?

"My name is Yang Lei, don't you already know that?"

Yang Lei smiled calmly. Since he started fighting Sarutobi, he had been keeping both his Byakugan and Sharingan active. He used the Sharingan to fight Sarutobi, to see through his moves and copy them, while the Byakugan, because it was not used in conjunction with Gentle Fist, could only be used as an observation eye to keep an eye on the surrounding situation, or to 'see' Sarutobi's attack when he turned around.

The Byakugan is said to have a 360-degree field of vision. However, because the Byakugan of the branch family has been restored due to the B-Seal, there is a blind spot in the field of vision. It spreads outward from the first vertebra as a point, and the blind spot becomes larger the farther the vision is.

Yang Lei, on the other hand, obtained his Byakugan secretly, which the Hyuga clan certainly didn't know about. Therefore, he wouldn't be marked with the Restoration B Seal, and thus wouldn't have any so-called blind spot in his vision.

It was precisely because he always had his Byakugan activated that he was able to detect that there was no one else within a hundred meters of him and Sarutobi, which naturally calmed him down.

Yang Lei had considered the idea of ​​simultaneously awakening the Byakugan and Sharingan before his transmigration, believing that the two eye techniques would complement each other and produce excellent results.

Later, after he obtained these two pupil techniques himself, he finally managed to put them into practice through experimentation.

The method is actually quite simple: when you activate the Byakugan or Sharingan, sever the meridian of one eye just before the chakra activates the eye technique, and then reopen the meridian when you activate the other eye technique.

Because Yang Lei's white eyes have the ability to see through meridians, he easily accomplished this. Now it's become second nature, and he can activate both pupil techniques at the same time with a thought.

"I wasn't asking for your name 々｀."

On this side, Sarutobi frowned deeply, his playful demeanor completely gone. He looked at Yang Lei with great vigilance and asked seriously, "Never mind, I'll just ask you, does the Third Hokage know about your eyes?"

"Of course I know."

Yang Lei nodded. He wasn't showing off by deliberately demonstrating his pupil technique. He said, "Didn't you ask me before, 'How do I possess the Vajra Indestructible?'"

"That's the answer."

Yang Lei pointed to his eyes and said, "Because I have the ability to see through other people's bloodlines and copy them."

"what?"

At this moment, Sarutobi's reaction was no different from that of the previous Third Hokage and Asuma when they learned of this situation.

It's true.

Yang Lei confirmed with a smile.

Why?

Sarutobi forced himself to calm down, but instead of lowering his guard, he took a step back and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"

In the ninja world, a ninja's trump card is the most important secret. No one would be foolish enough to reveal their trump card to others, not even their summoned beast or comrade-in-arms.

Take the three legendary ninjas for example. They were once close friends, but they didn't really know each other.

Therefore, Sarutobi was very puzzled as to why Yang Lei would tell him about his extraordinary abilities.

"rest assured."

Yang Lei laughed heartily, comforting him, "I don't have any ulterior motives, you're just being cunning!"

Yang Lei was no fool. He had endured the white eye for six whole years without using it, which showed how cautious he was. If it weren't for the third generation's superior strategy, he would have been able to hide it from everyone.

Furthermore, when he fought Sarutobi before, he wasn't completely unprepared. He initially used three shadow clones to test Sarutobi. In the end, seeing that Sarutobi wouldn't use his full strength against him, and having also obtained a lot of information, he finally revealed his true form, which shows his shrewdness.

So, what caused Yang Lei to be so hostile towards Sarutobi Tank?

"I have my own purpose."

Yang Lei immediately said, "I want to go with you to the territory of the Demon Ape Clan. I want you to guide my practical training. At the same time, I also want to see all the ninjutsu scrolls you have collected."

It turned out that Yang Lei was delighted to see Sarutobi use three different ninjutsu in succession. He didn't lack powerful ninjutsu at the moment, since he had memorized and thoroughly understood the entire Book of Sealing. However, he was too weak to use them against his enemies. What he lacked most right now were ordinary, low-level ninjutsu, which was quite frustrating for him.

Therefore, he wanted to seize this opportunity to gain the approval of Sarutobi and the Demon Ape clan. If he could get the Demon Ape clan to invest in him, he believed that he could reap considerable rewards in a short period of time, which would be much faster and safer than collecting these ninjutsu one by one.

Just as he had thought, he could trust the Demon Ape Clan because the only contract holders of this clan were from the Sarutobi Clan, and even among the Sarutobi Clan, there were very few who could sign the contract. Currently, only the Third Hokage and he were still alive.

The Third Hokage already knew his secrets, and he even obtained the Sharingan with the Third Hokage's help. Who else could the Demon Ape Clan, with their big mouths, tell?

Besides, the Third Hokage rarely fights now and hasn't summoned the Ape Demon for countless years. In other words, he's the only one who can summon them, so what's there to be afraid of?

"I see."

Sarutobi thought it over for a moment and then believed Yang Lei's words. He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go back and ask the Ape Demon for you. If it works, I'll use the Reverse Spirit Summoning Technique to summon you over. Just wait for news." (Good morning, Zhao Hao)

After saying that, Sarutobi suddenly turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared. It seems that this guy is still a bit unsure about Yang Lei. Maybe this time when he goes back, he will not only have to discuss it with Enma, but he may also have to ask the Third Hokage about Yang Lei's situation.

Yang Lei didn't care. He believed that the Demon Ape Clan would make the right choice. After all, the talent he had shown was too heaven-defying. The Sharingan could only copy ordinary ninjutsu used by others, but he could copy other people's bloodlines. When had such a terrifying eye technique ever appeared in the ninja world?

"The Demon Ape clan must have a lot of ninjutsu in their collection."

Because Sarutobi had escaped, Yang Lei had no choice but to abandon his fighting spirit and stop wearing his goggles. With a thought, he deactivated his eye technique and walked towards the village, putting his heavy equipment back on one by one. Finally, he took out the Kusanagi sword and tucked it into his waistband, secretly hoping for news from the Demon Ape Clan.

"I don't need to stay long; a month should be enough for me to grow!"

0063 Comparison of the Third Generation

And so, Yang Lei returned home with anticipation. He was quite tired today. Although he had rested for a long time at noon, he had fought a fierce battle with Sarutobi in the evening and fell asleep soon after collapsing, without even eating dinner.

On the other hand, just as I expected, after Sarutobi told Enma about Yang Lei, the Third Hokage was unexpectedly sent to Huaguo Mountain by reverse spirit communication.

The toad clan's territory is Mount Myōboku, the Manda clan's territory is Ryūchi Cave, the slug's territory is Shikkotsu Forest, and the ape clan's territory is... Mount Hanako.

Chapter 66

"Hiruzen."

Enma looked at the Third Hokage and repeated everything Sarutobi had told him, finally asking, "Is everything about that kid Yang Lei true?"

Hizan is the name of the third Hokage, whose surname is Sarutobi. Put together, it's Sarutobi Hizan.

"That's right."

The Third Hokage took a puff of his pipe and nodded to confirm that what Enma had said about Yang Lei was all true. However, he was still unsettled and cursed the little rascal Yang Lei. If he wanted to learn ninjutsu, he could come to him. He was a ninja professor, proficient in all the basic five elemental chakra ninjutsu. Couldn't he teach him?

"It's good that it's true."

The ape demon nodded and said, "Since he wasn't lying, and he's the descendant you acknowledge, then our ape demon clan will do everything we can to nurture him."

"I see."

The third generation leader sighed inwardly, and finally could only nod and say, "Alright, I'll leave Yang Lei in your care, old man."

"Do not worry."

The ape demon laughed and nodded, saying, "Don't forget, all your skills were honed in Flower Fruit Mountain."

The Third Hokage had studied under the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. So why did Enma dare to say that the Third Hokage's skills came from Mount Hanako?

So, the First Hokage's skills were all in Wood Release and Sage Mode, while the Second Hokage's were Water Release and Space-Time Ninjutsu, or perhaps some forbidden techniques that were developed later. So, besides the Second Hokage's Water Release, what else could the Third Hokage learn?

The Third Hokage's title of Ninja Professor wasn't because he knew any particularly powerful ninjutsu, but because he knew most of the ninjutsu of the five basic elemental chakra natures. So, where did he get these from?

That's right, I learned most of it at Flower Fruit Mountain.

Unlike other summoning beasts, the Demon Ape clan can use ninjutsu, and they are not much different from humans. It can only be said that they are probably stronger. I mean compared to ordinary people, after all, they have racial talents, that is, bloodline limits.

Because their clan can use ninjutsu, and because they are small in size, the Demon Ape clan knew they had to seize this unique ability that other summoning beasts did not have. So they collected a lot of ninjutsu scrolls, and after countless years, they had almost collected all the basic five elemental chakra ninjutsu.

Of course, he also collected many secret techniques from other families or ninjutsu that could only be used by those with bloodline limits.

"OK."

Seeing that Enma had already said all that, the Third Generation could only sigh helplessly, nod, and go back.

The relationship between the third generation and the Demon Ape Clan goes without saying. In fact, the clan leader, Ape Demon, was his old comrade-in-arms. So why does he seem to not want Yang Lei to come to Flower Fruit Mountain to cultivate?

The reason is that the Third Hokage wanted to reserve the opportunity to teach Yang Lei his training for himself or Asuma. This kind of teacher-student relationship is very precious and could help Yang Lei and the Sarutobi clan get closer.

Even more remarkably, the third generation found several extremely beautiful young girls within the clan, around the same age as Yang Lei, the oldest no more than two years old and the youngest no less than two years old. The purpose is self-evident; they thought they might be able to introduce Yang Lei's bloodline into the Sarutobi clan.

Unfortunately, it seems that his plans will come to nothing.

"What an impatient little fellow."

The Third Hokage had returned to the Hokage's office from Mount Huaguo. He sat in his chair and shook his head somewhat helplessly, but he did not give up his previous plans.

"If that doesn't work, we can only take this opportunity to let Yang Lei leave the village first, and find a chance for Asuma to teach him. If that doesn't work, we can give him a copy of the Sarutobi clan's knowledge of fire-style ninjutsu, so that he can feel more grateful to the Sarutobi clan."

The Third Hokage still has some trump cards up his sleeve. Since the Demon Ape Clan has decided to train Yang Lei, why not send Yang Lei away first? This would be a good opportunity for Asuma to teach the Sarutobi Clan their specialty, Fire Release. Wouldn't that also earn them some favor?

The Third Hokage was a remarkable person. Not only was he old and experienced, but his intelligence and emotional intelligence were also top-notch. In dealing with Yang Lei, he never intended to be harsh but rather to soften him. Only by binding him with affection could he truly make Yang Lei feel a sense of belonging to Konoha Village.
