A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

Yang Lei casually recited a line, then took out a handful of kunai from his ninja tool bag with his other hand and threw it out. The large clump of kunai clattered and made a series of crisp sounds as they hit each other in mid-air.

"Oh."

A chorus of snickers echoed from the woods, assuming that Yang Lei was just blindly shooting at the number of targets, resulting in the kunai colliding with each other and creating a chaotic mess.

But then, something unexpected happened. The kunai collided with each other but did not knock down the others. Instead, they changed direction and, upon reaching a certain height, with the final impact, suddenly scattered like the Iron Lotus hidden weapon from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"Puff, puff..."

A muffled sound rang out, and five people fell from the forest. In a single encounter, Yang Lei killed all five enemies with just a kunai.

"hiss."

A collective gasp filled the air, and those who had just been chuckling nearly bit their tongues. Was this art-like skill really the Kunai throwing technique?

Why do they feel like the opposing team and their team are playing different games?

Why is it that Yang Lei can make even the most basic ninja throwing techniques look so advanced?

"It's not a good habit to get distracted during battle."

While the rogue ninjas were still stunned, Yang Lei had already left his original spot and silently arrived at a nearby tree. Without any hesitation, he used his Kusanagi sword to slit open the throat of one of the rogue ninjas.

It turns out that Yang Lei not only wanted to teach the enemy a lesson, but also wanted to use his superb kunai throwing skills to distract the enemy and at least make them pause for a moment. Once he seized the opportunity, he could turn the tables and launch an attack on the enemy from the open to the covert.

For example, at this moment, he seized the opportunity when the enemy was distracted and quickly arrived at the big tree, easily taking another head. He even deliberately made a sound to let the enemy know that he was there. But in fact, he was just a shadow clone.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Just as the rogue ninjas' eyes were all focused on the location of the shadow clone, a series of light sounds flew towards the tree where Naruto and Sasuke were. Five strange kunai were thrown from Yang Lei's hands. Was he going to kill his comrades?

Of course not. Two of the kunai accurately cut the ropes binding the two men, the third kunai was tied to the tree trunk above their heads, and the remaining two kunai flew far away into the depths of the forest.

"Don't fall!"

With a whoosh, Yang Lei used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach the tree trunk behind Naruto and Sasuke, scooping them up in his arms before they fell to the ground. The surrounding area was full of traps; for example, there were countless explosive tags buried in the ground in front of them. If they had fallen to the ground, they would probably have been blown to bits.

"Let's go."

Yang Lei didn't linger on the big tree for even a second. He formed another hand seal and left with the two of them. Using one of the two specially made kunai that had flown far away as a coordinate, they passed through the ambush set by the rogue ninjas.

"This kid is amazing."

In the forest, the rogue ninjas were stunned by Yang Lei's series of actions. The ambush they had devised together was so easily broken by him, right under their noses. They had no choice but to admire him.

"retreat."

It's unclear who in the forest made the suggestion, but they wisely chose to retreat.

That's how the ninja world works. Strength isn't determined by age or seniority. A child might have the power to instantly kill an adult, like Yang Lei at this moment, or Gaara of the Sand Village in the Land of Wind.

Therefore, we can't blame the rogue ninjas for being too cowardly. Their lack of strength is no one else's fault but their own. When it's time to retreat, they shouldn't worry about saving face.

But since they wanted to leave, how could Yang Lei let them just go?

"Since you're already here, why don't you all stay!"

Yang Lei's shadow clone leaped out, intercepting the group of rogue ninjas before his main body could arrive.

0079 Easily solved!

"Kid, don't get too cocky."

The rogue ninjas were shocked and enraged that Yang Lei had no intention of letting them leave. They shouted and cursed, continuing to charge forward without stopping.

They had already realized that what was in front of them was just a clone, but they didn't know what kind of physical clone it was that could cause actual harm.

However, it doesn't matter which one it is; they don't need to care at all. A mere clone is nothing to them.

just.

"We were too careless."

The shadow clone shook its head, raised its hand and slapped itself, leaving a rune mark.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a series of calls rang out from the forest, as if thousands of birds were singing together. It was Kakashi's Lightning Release ninjutsu, called Lightning Blade. Because it was used with such a powerful sound, like the chirping of a thousand birds, it was also called Thousand Birds.

"Run."

The rogue ninjas had a bad feeling and wanted to escape from the place as soon as possible.

"Shh."

Suddenly, a beam of blue light appeared, and Yang Lei's main body, using shadow clones as coordinates, rushed over with the Flying Thunder God Technique. Just as the rogue ninjas arrived, he raised his hand and swung his blade, unleashing a thin, long blue bolt of lightning that easily sliced ​​several people in half at the waist.

That wasn't all; Yang Lei, holding the Thousand Birds in his left hand, charged out.

"Puff, puff, puff."

Each time Yang Lei reached a rogue ninja, he simply flicked the Thousand Birds in his hand forward, easily piercing the body of the person. In just a few moments, the rogue ninjas were all dead or wounded.

It wasn't that the rogue ninjas were weak; it was simply that Yang Lei was too strong. Even Zabuza couldn't get away with it, being sent flying in a single exchange. He also couldn't gain an advantage in speed and was repeatedly at a disadvantage due to the Flying Thunder God Technique. How much more so for these rogue ninjas whose strength was at most that of Chunin.

If it weren't for saving Naruto and Sasuke, Yang Lei could have wiped them out long ago.

Chapter 84

However, it hasn't taken much time to waste.

"Speaking of which, Chidori's voice is really loud, so noisy."

After wiping out the group of rogue ninja, Yang Lei waved his hand to disperse Chidori, looked up and saw his three shadow clones walking over. Two of them were carrying Naruto and Sasuke, who had already woken up, while the third shadow clone raised his hand to show what he was holding: a thick stack of explosive tags.

"They really are rich."

Yang Lei couldn't help but sigh softly. He had mentioned before that ninja tools were very expensive, especially consumables like explosive tags and soldier pills.

But now it seems that these rogue ninjas are really rich. Even he hadn't been willing to buy some explosive tags to prepare, but his shadow clone actually took out so many explosive tags from those traps. It really made him a little sad.

"Oh, I see."

But after Yang Lei received the explosive tag from the shadow clone, he realized that it wasn't that the group of rogue ninjas were rich, but that some of them knew how to make explosive tags.

Actually, making detonating tags isn't difficult; anyone who knows the technique can make them. However, the process is very dangerous, just like making a bomb. If there's even the slightest mistake, it might explode on the spot. That's why no one dares to try it easily and prefers to buy them with money, which makes detonating tags increasingly expensive.

At this moment, with Yang Lei's Eye of Insight and the two great pupil techniques, the reason for the formation of the explosive tags was easily seen through. He had already learned how to make explosive tags, and he had mastered it skillfully.

"Once we get back, maybe we can make a small fortune by selling explosive tags."

Yang Lei thought to himself, then looked up at Naruto and Sasuke and asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance, and looking at each other's miserable state, they couldn't help but shake their heads with a wry smile.

Because they had been climbing trees to train, they had exhausted a lot of their chakra and stamina. In addition, the rogue ninjas had launched a surprise attack, so they were subdued after only a few moves.

Meanwhile, Yang Lei had killed every single one of the rogue ninjas who had subdued them. And to make matters worse, he had stormed in openly and honestly, which must have made them feel bitter.

However.

Sasuke turned to look at Yang Lei, thinking to himself, "I won't fall too far behind you. Plus, I just awakened my Sharingan. As long as I work hard to catch up, I'll definitely be able to catch up with you in a short time, or even surpass you. If I can't even beat you, how am I supposed to kill that person?"

It turns out that Sasuke's Sharingan finally awakened during that previous battle.

While Naruto didn't suffer the same psychological trauma as Sasuke, he still had his own level of awareness.

"Yang Lei".

Naruto looked at Yang Lei and shouted, "Next time, I will not only helplessly wait for you to save me, but I will come to save you like a hero."

"Hey."

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Yang Lei nearly swayed and detonated the explosive tag in his hand.

Yang Lei and his three shadow clones all turned to look at Naruto, their expressions quite strange.

Naruto.

Yang Lei pondered his words carefully and said cautiously, "Well, I'm not that kind of person. I like Hinata, as you know. So, if you want to play the hero and save the 'beauty,' you should save Sasuke instead."

".puff."

Naruto almost vomited blood. That's not what he meant! It was supposed to be a cool declaration that he would no longer be so weak and would become strong through training.

But how come these words sound so nauseating coming from Yang Lei's mouth?

We'll see.

Naruto turned his head and exchanged a glance with Sasuke, who was looking over unconsciously. As if recalling the beautiful scene at the class assignment explanation meeting, they couldn't help but gag a few times at the same time.

"Yang Lei".

Naruto shouted angrily, "Don't say things that are easy to misunderstand! I like Sakura, not that bastard Sasuke!"

"Damn it, Naruto, stop talking."

Sasuke desperately covered his mouth with his hand. If he had only been dry heaving before, now that he heard Naruto's words, he really felt like vomiting.

"Hahaha."

Yang Lei suddenly burst into laughter, strode over and took one arm in each of theirs, and the three of them slowly walked back, leaving three shadow clones to deal with the corpses of the (Zhao who got the money) traitorous ninjas.

Back at Tazna's home, Naruto and Sasuke's injuries startled Sakura and Ino, who had to be stopped by Sasuke himself.

"They are now in your hands, Asma."

After briefly assessing Naruto and Yang Lei's injuries, Kakashi discovered they were only slightly injured. Although they looked bad, they weren't seriously hurt. Without delay, Kakashi told Asuma what was wrong and then left the house with Yang Lei.

What are they going to do there?

Sasuke collapsed weakly onto the bed and looked at Asuma, asking a question.

"Kakashi-sensei and Yang-jun are going outside to carry out a counter-assassination against the rogue ninja."

Sakura and Ino, who were standing nearby, revealed information that Naruto and Sasuke didn't know.

"I see."

Sasuke muttered something, his hands clenched into fists under the covers. It seemed his path forward wasn't just about catching up with Yang Lei in terms of strength, but also about cultivating his mentality.

0080 Change Plan!

"What do you think we should do?"

Once outside, Kakashi looked at Yang Lei and asked him a question.

After all, this was an action proposal put forward by Yang Lei, so he wanted to hear Yang Lei's thoughts.

Chapter 85

Yang Lei thought for a moment and said, "We specifically target people who act alone for assassination, and then leave their bodies to provoke their already limited trust."

Kakashi nodded in satisfaction. After all, there were too many enemies to kill them all, at least not in just one night.

Unless these guys are too careless and group together in groups of ten or twenty, they'll be wiped out one by one.

Furthermore, if they go too far, those rogue ninjas aren't stupid; they'll definitely put aside their past grievances and unite, and then they'll be in big trouble.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to assassinate those who act alone. This will make other traitors wary, wondering if they are also being targeted, and thus they will not dare to act.

Not only would they dare not act rashly, but the rogue ninjas might also turn against each other, and internal strife is likely to break out soon. After all, no one wants to be outmaneuvered by others, so they might as well take the initiative and strike.

And so, with just a few words, the two decided on their actions for the night. They set off one after the other under the moonlight to search for clues in the Land of Waves.

. . . . . .

"Jingle bells."

180 Somewhere in the Land of Waves, a crisp sound of fighting echoed through the night sky.

"?"

Not far away, two people who were moving quickly in the shadows of the street suddenly stopped.

"Go and see."

Kakashi silently gestured, and the two moved forward quietly. Soon they arrived near the battlefield, peered out from the roof of a house, and were speechless.

Below, on the battlefield, two groups of rogue ninja, each consisting of eight people, were engaged in battle. One group had five members, while the other had only three.

In other words, before Yang Lei and Kakashi could even provoke them, this group of rogue ninja started fighting on their own. Their teamwork is terrible.

"A rogue ninja is a rogue ninja. I really overestimated them."

Yang Lei couldn't help but mutter a curse to himself. Just as the three-person team was about to be defeated and killed, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Kakashi-sensei."
