A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

Yang Lei whispered to Kakashi, "Why don't we save these three, then pretend to be rogue ninja and team up with them, so they can lead us to kill more rogue ninja?"

"Oh?"

Kakashi's eyes lit up; he saw an opportunity. Indeed, since this group of rogue ninja planned to eliminate a group of their own before the mission began, perhaps they could take advantage of the chaos and eliminate them all.

"it is good."

Kakashi didn't waste any words, nodded and said okay. The two didn't dare to delay, pressed their hands on the roof and jumped down. In mid-air, they each threw out a shuriken, and then drew out kunai and kusanagi swords respectively, preparing for their next move.

These rogue ninjas weren't very strong, probably only around the level of chunin or genin, but because they spent years living on the edge of life and death, they had a high level of awareness of danger.

For example, even though no one could hear the sound of the sword in their hands, they all scattered and avoided Kakashi and Yang Lei's sneak attack.

"Disperse."

Kakashi gave a soft reminder, and Yang Lei and Kakashi exchanged a kick to each other, landing on opposite sides of the ground. Without a word, they charged toward the rogue ninjas who were approaching them.

The rogue ninjas naturally wouldn't back down and fought back one after another. Except for the three rogue ninjas in that squad who were a bit stunned and didn't know whether to stay or leave, the five rogue ninjas, Yang Lei, and Kakashi started fighting each other.

Kakashi was, after all, a Jonin, and Yang Lei had also demonstrated the strength to defeat a Jonin. Therefore, although this group of rogue ninjas outnumbered them, they were no match for them. Even without using very strong ninjutsu, their taijutsu alone was enough to wipe them out.

"So strong."

The three rogue ninja standing nearby were shocked to find that in just a short while, the five rogue ninja who had almost killed them had all been wiped out. They were immediately filled with regret.

Previously, they had kindly planned to help Yang Lei and Kakashi, thinking that even the two of them, "705u.com - Reading Club First Release", couldn't beat those five people, so they thought they should also form a five-person team to fight against them.

But who would have thought that those two alone were enough to wipe out five people? They didn't need the others at all; in fact, they might even use the situation to eliminate the three of them.

"rest assured."

Kakashi, being the shrewd one he was, quickly offered a hypocritical consolation to the remaining three rogue ninja after killing the last one: "We are not enemies."

"?"

The three rogue ninja paused, not leaving but assuming a defensive stance. One of them asked Kakashi, "How do you know?"

Kakashi laughed, as long as they didn't run away, he started to coax them, "The other rogue ninjas have formed teams of twenty people, and we're no match for them, so how about we form a team too?"

Upon hearing this, the three rogue ninja secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then they couldn't help but become cautious again. A squad of twenty people? That was truly a force not to be underestimated.

Shouldn't they be underestimated? If they knew that the short guy standing to the side had wiped out that entire twenty-man squad all by himself, they probably wouldn't dare stay here any longer.

After bringing Naruto and Sasuke back, Yang Lei told Xing Si about how he had wiped out a 20-man rogue ninja squad. He said that the rogue ninja squad had even sneaked up to the vicinity, and if Naruto and Sasuke hadn't delayed them for a while, they might have been in real danger.

During this time, Yang Lei deliberately brought back a few rogue ninja headbands. After all, he intended to provoke the enemy and cause them to fight each other. But if the enemy found out that it was a Konoha ninja, that is, their target who killed their 'comrade', then what's the point of fighting? They should just quickly eliminate the target and complete the mission.

Therefore, Kakashi and Yang Lei changed into their rogue ninja headbands before taking action. At this moment, one of them was wearing a Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) rogue ninja headband, and the other was wearing a Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village) rogue ninja headband.

Actually, among those twenty people, there were a few rogue ninjas from Konoha. Yang Lei had taken away their headbands, but Kakashi said it was best not to wear Konoha rogue ninja headbands, otherwise it would be very troublesome if someone with ulterior motives saw them.

Even if he didn't wear it, Yang Lei didn't throw away the Konoha rogue ninja headband he had collected, thinking it was good to keep it as a trophy.

"I see."

Upon suddenly hearing that someone had formed a team of twenty people, the three rogue ninjas became somewhat hesitant. Finally, under immense pressure, they made their decision.

"In that case, let's form a five-person team for now."

As they spoke, the three rogue ninja lowered their weapons and defensive stances, adopting expressions of utter astonishment.

Chapter 86

Kakashi and Yang Lei, having already sheathed their weapons at the start, smiled to themselves and stepped forward to the three rogue ninja.

0081 He looks like Kakashi.

Arriving in front of the three rogue ninjas, Kakashi and Yang Lei remained cautious, refraining from making a move. Only Yang Lei's sudden outstretched hand startled them, before they realized he simply wanted to shake hands with them, at which point they breathed a sigh of relief.

At such close range, given the strength Yang Lei and Kakashi had just displayed, wiping them out would have been easy. Since they hadn't made a move, the three rogue ninja trusted them, feeling that no matter what happened after the mission, at least they could form an alliance team now.

"That's right."

Yang Lei grinned wickedly and shook hands with each of the three rogue ninjas, leaving Flying Thunder God Technique seals on their palms. Feigning ignorance, he pointed to the corpses of the five rogue ninjas and asked, "Why did they attack you? Did you have some kind of grudge against each other?"

Although it was dark and Yang Lei's appearance couldn't be seen, the childishness in his voice was still noticeable. In addition, he was rather short, only about 1.6 meters tall, which reassured the three rogue ninjas, who thought he was just a naive little boy.

That's how it is.

Having formed a temporary team, the three rogue ninja felt much more at ease and briefly recounted their experiences after arriving in the Land of Waves.

It turns out that the three of them didn't know each other and were forced to form a team.

Originally, they were all acting alone, but after they left Kado's castle, they were all targeted by a group of people. They then learned that these bastards didn't want to share the bounty with others, so they wanted to eliminate a group of people before the mission even started.

Left with no other option, they formed a temporary alliance and began fighting against the group.

Originally, their team had eight people, while the other team had fifteen. After the fight, their team was reduced to three people, while the other team still had five.

In other words...

Yang Lei raised his hand to his forehead, speechless, and muttered to himself, "This group of rogue ninjas, numbering over a hundred, lost twenty members to infighting after I wiped them out. It's ridiculous that they've already lost almost half their members before even starting their mission."

It's no wonder Yang Lei was worried. Even though he was already very strong, if he were to face a group of one hundred rogue ninjas at the same time, even with Kakashi and Asuma, two Jonin, behind him, he couldn't guarantee that he could still complete the mission.

In other words, although he was confident that he could wipe out the group of one hundred rogue ninjas after activating his Reincarnation Sage Body, he could not guarantee that Tatsuna would survive, or even the safety of Naruto and the others.

But now, he can no longer assemble the large group of 100 people that he is struggling with. Forty people have already been reduced in advance, and he even wants to go back now.

"Are there still sixty people?"

Kakashi muttered, "There are still quite a lot of people."

Upon hearing this, the three rogue ninjas shuddered and took two steps back.

"calm down."

Yang Lei waved to the three rogue ninjas and said, "Now that we've teamed up, we definitely won't attack you before this mission is over, unless you choose to fight us."

Yang Lei's words had a hidden meaning, which reassured the three rogue ninjas. After all, they weren't stupid; knowing they were no match for Yang Lei, they wouldn't dare to confront him.

But if the rogue ninja knew that Yang Lei and Kakashi were the targets of their mission, the very guards protecting bridge-building master Tazna, they would probably cry.

Brother, we're definitely going to face off.

"There are a lot of people sharing the bonus."

Kakashi chuckled inwardly at Yang Lei's words of comfort to the rogue ninja, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he said seriously, "Sixty people? That's too many. How about we reduce our numbers?"

"this."

The rogue ninjas looked at each other, still somewhat reluctant to attack others, having just escaped being eliminated by others.

But a rogue ninja is a rogue ninja. Some of them are forced to become rogue ninjas for certain reasons, but many more are rogue ninjas because of their despicable character, like these three people.

"Indeed."

After thinking it over, the three rogue ninja made a decision: "There are too many people sharing the bounty. If it's just the five of us splitting it, this one order alone will be enough for us to live on for half our lives."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Kakashi and Yang Lei were secretly delighted. They called upon the three rogue ninja and set to work. Under their leadership, they began searching throughout the Land of Waves, finding and eliminating one rogue ninja after another.

Actually, these three rogue ninjas didn't know where the others were either. After all, they had been attacked by their own people before, and others must have had similar experiences. Trust was long gone, so who would dare to tell their so-called comrades their location?

· ·····Requesting flowers··· ·

But it doesn't matter. Having three more people isn't entirely useless. At least it greatly expands the search area and reduces Yang Lei and Kakashi's workload considerably. If they had to search on their own, who knows how long it would have taken.

This is why Kakashi previously thought that it would be impossible to wipe out all the rogue ninja, numbering over a hundred, in just one night—because finding them would be too troublesome and time-consuming.

But now, in just one night, excluding the initial forty people, according to Yang Lei and Kakashi's calculations, they have eliminated more than twenty people, and are only three short of thirty.

In other words, of the initial hundred or so rogue ninjas, only about thirty remain. It's truly pitiful. They haven't even seen the mission objective yet, and more than seventy people have already died. This mission is really incredibly frustrating.

. ...

"Ok?"

Time passed quickly, and the night was over. As the sun rose above the horizon, the three rogue ninjas who were following Yang Lei and Kakashi suddenly stopped.

They had just been through a battle, so they hadn't noticed, but now they finally saw something clearly.

"Doesn't that person look like our Konoha Village's 'Copy Ninja' Kakashi Hatake?"

Then I heard a rogue ninja say this.

It turned out that he was also a rogue ninja from Konoha. He hadn't noticed before because it was dark at night, but now he realized that Kakashi's vest looked very much like the standard vest of Konoha. In addition, his attire, except for the headband which was not a Konoha headband and the fact that he didn't see his Sharingan, was exactly the same as the Kakashi he had heard about.

"Now that you put it that way..."

The other two rogue ninjas finally noticed this as well. They swallowed hard and said in a weak voice, "It really does look like it."

Chapter 87

"Oh no, we've been found out."

Kakashi and Yang Lei also stopped in their tracks, then turned around and smiled at the three rogue ninjas.

"That thing."

The three rogue ninjas retreated while reminding us, "Didn't you say before that you wouldn't attack us until this mission is over?"

Yang Lei shrugged and reminded him, "Do you remember the second half of what I said?"

"Unless you choose to confront us, then there's nothing we can do!"

0082 A sudden and dramatic change has occurred!

Don't blame Yang Lei and Kakashi for being too cruel and unethical in killing the donkey after it has served its purpose. They had no choice; now that others were coming to kill them, and so many of them at that, they had to do everything in their power to fight back.

Otherwise, we can't just beat them up and teach them a lesson before letting them go, can we? That would be too saintly. We might as well just give them our own heads, along with the heads of the people we've entrusted.

"Alright, you can go back now."

Kakashi stretched and yawned. He had been busy all night and was exhausted. Fortunately, he hadn't encountered any particularly strong opponents, so he didn't need to activate his Sharingan. Otherwise, he would have gone back to rest long ago.

"That's right."

As the two walked towards Tazna's house, they changed their headbands back. At that moment, Yang Lei asked, "Kakashi-sensei, do those rogue ninjas also get bounties?"

"Yes, I have."

Kakashi nodded and said, "Unlike the underground black market, these bounty missions for rogue ninja are all issued by their respective villages. In other words, you have to take their heads to their hometown ninja village, otherwise you won't get the bounty. Plus, these rogue ninja are too weak, so the bounty won't be too high. It's really not worth it."

"I see."

Yang Lei shook his head in disappointment. He had thought he could make a fortune, but it seemed he would have to abandon these heads.

It wasn't that Yang Lei was too greedy; he was simply terrified of poverty. In both his past and present lives, he had never been wealthy and had always relied on charity to make ends meet.

Unlike before he transmigrated, he now has the ability to repay Konoha Village, which had helped him.

Besides, don't forget that Hinata, whom he likes, is a rich heiress. If he doesn't seize the time to make money, how can he have the nerve to marry her? He can't expect the Hyuga family to pay for everything he eats, wears, and uses, can he? Wouldn't that make him a live-in son-in-law?

Whether he marries into the Yang family or not doesn't matter. He doesn't even know who his father is. The idea of ​​leaving an heir for the Yang family is completely irrelevant. He only keeps the name 'Yang Lei' so that he can remember who he is.

Therefore, as long as he could marry Hinata, it didn't matter whether he was a live-in son-in-law or not.

He simply had no interest in the tedious rules and regulations of wealthy families; he preferred the carefree and happy life of the young couple outside.

Actually, Yang Lei never worried about marrying Hinata. Putting everything else aside, he just wanted news of him awakening the Tenseigan to reach Konoha Village, and he believed that the Hyuga clan would no longer obstruct him and Hinata's relationship.

He had previously exclaimed in surprise at the activation of his Tenseigan, which was heard by everyone present. It is estimated that even the Third Hokage will not be able to suppress it this time, and the villagers will find out.

No one knows what the Tenseigan is, but what Yang Lei showed in that short time is enough to tell people that it is a very powerful eye technique.

Given this, how could Hiashi Hyuga, having received word of it, possibly turn Yang Lei away again? Compared to that, sacrificing a so-called eldest daughter who was no longer valued was a worthwhile trade if it could give him the chance to obtain this unknown eye technique.

Previously, when Hyuga Hiashi and the Hyuga clan agreed to let Hinata join Kurenai's Team 8 as a genin, they had already made a decision and choice. The one chosen to inherit the Hyuga clan was Hyuga Hanabi. It was because Hinata was the eldest daughter that they couldn't give her the Restoration B Curse Seal; otherwise, she would have been kicked to the branch family.

As you can see in the original work, no matter in which part of the story, Hinata Hanabi never wore the Konoha headband.

In other words, once he gets back, he can openly approach Hinata, even if he's being difficult or nagging. He should also be able to properly showcase some of his talents.

So perhaps he didn't make the sound accidentally.

. . . . . .

Their operation that night was very successful. Including the three unlucky guys, Yang Lei and Kakashi lost a total of thirty people. Adding the twenty people Yang Lei killed in the forest at the beginning, the fifteen people they killed in their own fight, and the five people they killed together, the more than one hundred rogue ninjas who arrived in the Land of Waves yesterday are now reduced to only twenty or thirty people.

"Ok?"

The two hurried back, wanting to share the good news with everyone and get a good night's sleep. But when they actually returned, they were taken aback to find that Dazner's little house had been reduced to ruins.

"Oops!"

Kakashi was startled. It seemed that a rogue ninja had launched an attack while they were leaving last night. He wondered how Asuma and the others who stayed behind were doing.
