A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

Perhaps Asuma knew that Naruto was the Fourth Hokage's son, or perhaps he knew even better what the Fourth Hokage meant by sealing the Nine-Tails inside Naruto's body. However, his older brother died five years ago, so it was hard for him not to hate the Nine-Tails. And because of this hatred, it was inevitable that it would affect Naruto in some way.

Perhaps he was too young, or perhaps the incident happened too recently, only five years ago. Maybe in a few years Asuma will change his attitude towards Naruto, but now, he said the same thing as most people in the village, warning his children to stay away from the 'Nine-Tails'.

Or perhaps, Asuma is protecting Naruto, since Yang Lei has some flaws now.

"How pitiful!"

(PS: First of all, I really couldn't find any information about Konohamaru's father, and I just used it like this... Secondly, Asuma's exact return time to the village is unclear, and he initially ignored Naruto, only changing his attitude later.)

0008 Big Shopping

Led by Asma, Yang Lei wandered around Konoha Village for a while, quickly visiting many places. Finally, the two went to the most famous Ichiraku Ramen restaurant for lunch, and then started shopping.

Calling it shopping is an understatement; it's more like a major cleaning. First, Asma took Yang Lei to buy several sets of clothes. At Yang Lei's insistence, all the clothes they bought were black, not because he liked black, but because they were easy to wash and less prone to getting dirty.

Many people say that black doesn't get dirty easily, but that's because the person wearing it is clean. However, for Yang Lei before he traveled through time, black was the most dirt-resistant color.

How should I put it?

Chapter 8

Even if the clothes are blackened, they will still be black; they don't care if they become shiny.

But what if it were a different color? It would be unwatchable by now.

It wasn't that Yang Lei was too lazy to do laundry before; it was just that he had too few clothes. He only had a few sets at home, including sets for all four seasons. It would take a long time to dry a set after washing. It was fine in the summer, but what about in the winter? There was no washing machine or anything like that, so he naturally developed a habit of not liking to do laundry.

After buying clothes, their shopping spree didn't stop. First, they bought a new pair of bedding, then pots, pans, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, and finally some toiletries. After only two rounds, they were already overflowing with things.

"Thank you, Uncle Asma."

Back home, Yang Lei declined Asma's suggestion to go shopping again. He had already spent enough on the things they bought, and he felt bad about taking advantage of her.

"OK then."

Seeing his insistence, Asma stopped talking. She noticed a member of the Dark Guard waving to her from a distance, and a thought struck her. She understood a lot, patted Yang Lei's head, told him to contact her if he needed anything, and then left.

After saying goodbye to Yang Lei, Asuma followed the ANBU member to the Hokage Building. After knocking on the door, they entered the Hokage's office, where the Third Hokage was sitting behind his desk, leisurely smoking. Although Asuma didn't ask, he knew that Yang Lei's identity was no longer a problem.

As expected, the Third Hokage told Asuma before he could even speak that no ninja village had been found with a bloodline of purple eyes. In other words, Yang Lei either suddenly awakened a bloodline limit that no one knew about, or Konoha's intelligence system was too bad, or it wasn't a bloodline limit at all.

But it doesn't matter which one it is. At least the Third Generation knows that Yang Lei is definitely not a spy for the enemy. Surely no one would be stupid enough to send someone whose identity can be easily recognized as a spy.

However, the third generation was not too careless. He instructed Asma to take care of Yang Lei often, meaning that they should observe him carefully, in case it really was a bloodline limit.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

After discussing Yang Lei's matter, Asma secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Without lingering, he bid farewell to the Third Hokage and turned to leave.

. . . . . .

Back to Yang Lei, once he got home, he was very busy. First, he arranged the bed and put on the new bedding. Then he cleaned the house, threw away what needed to be thrown away, and replaced what needed to be replaced. By the time he stopped to rest, several hours had passed, and it was almost evening.

After resting on the floor for a while, Yang Lei dragged his tired body to the bathroom, took off his clothes, and took a quick shower. While scrubbing himself, he couldn't help but complain, "Seriously, I'm so weak! It's my own body, but I feel like I haven't had a proper meal in months. I don't even know if I've ever been starving."

Having been in this world for several days, Yang Lei had already realized that he was incarnated. Although he was much better looking than in his previous life because he was still young, he could still see the shadow of himself when he grew up.

"It doesn't matter."

On second thought, Yang Lei comforted himself, "As long as my nutrition keeps up, I believe my body will soon reach the level of a normal child. Then, if I train hard, I should be able to make a decent name for myself when I graduate from the ninja academy, right?"

The title he was referring to was naturally one he had during his time at school, which, although utterly useless, allowed him to boast about it.

Take Itachi Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake, for example. In their previous lives, whenever people talked about their strength, they would always mention that they graduated from the Ninja Academy at a very young age, which shows that their academic performance in school was not to be ignored.

Besides, he's not really a little kid. When he met Hinata, he had already made up his mind to seize this rare opportunity. He couldn't let her slip away, or he would be a complete idiot.

Now that his target is the Hyuga family's eldest daughter, he naturally needs to set his sights as high as possible. He's not like Naruto, a privileged second-generation official whose parents and master are all quite remarkable figures. If he wants to marry a daughter of a wealthy family, he has to make a name for himself.

Furthermore, he never said he wanted to become Hokage. In that case, besides having exceptional skills, he would also need to have outstanding achievements. Otherwise, the Hyuga clan might not respect him.

. . . . . .

While chatting with himself in his mind, Yang Lei quickly washed himself and soon came out of the bathroom. He found one of the new outfits Asma had bought for him and put it on. The thin, small child had a messy head of short, choppy hair and a cute little face that looked somewhat sickly. He was wearing a well-fitting black children's outfit and a pair of black sneakers, and he actually looked quite handsome.

"Let's go eat."

With his wallet in his pocket, Yang Lei turned and came out of the room, carefully locking the door behind him. He walked up the stairs and out of the building, heading towards the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant he had visited once at noon, following his memory.

The legendary Ichiraku Ramen isn't actually that delicious. Well, it's mainly cheap, so Yang Lei has no choice but to eat there since he can't cook. Even if he ate ramen all the time, he couldn't afford it. He once calculated that he would definitely have to buy some instant noodles to get by until the end of the month.

That makes sense, though. The relief fund is distributed for free, so it's definitely not enough for you to eat and drink extravagantly. If you cook for yourself, it's barely enough, and you can even eat quite well. But if you go out, well, you can only laugh. You're not someone's boss, are you?

When I arrived at Ichiraku Ramen, it was already getting dark, so there weren't many people at the ramen shop. Those with money would go to other restaurants to eat something nice in the evening, while those without money would buy some food to cook at home. Few people would linger here. The ramen shop's business is mainly concentrated around lunchtime. Some people come here to save time, while others are too lazy to cook, so they just come and grab a quick meal.

"A large bowl of ramen."

Yang Lei's voice rang out before he even arrived, leaving the uncle who owned Yi Le puzzled, as he hadn't seen him either.

After Yang Lei struggled to climb onto the chair, he realized that the platform was too high, which was why Yang Lei couldn't see him.

Yang Lei's physique is really weak. It's not just his physical condition, but also his height. He is five years old, but he is less than a meter tall, like a little dwarf.

0009 I won't allow anyone to bully you.

More than half a month has passed since Yang Lei joined Konoha Village, and the beginning of the next month has arrived.

It was the first day of the month, and Yang Lei went to the department that distributed relief funds to collect his monthly allowance. His wallet, which already had some money in it, suddenly bulged.

After spending more than half a month in Konoha Village, Yang Lei's appearance had not changed much; he was still as thin as ever. However, he was in much better spirits than before. At the same time, because he had replenished his nutrition, his attribute panel had finally increased slightly.

At the beginning, Yang Lei's four attributes were all pitiful two points, four twos lined up together was quite silly.

Now, after more than half a month of nutritional supplementation, although his body has not been strengthened, he is no longer weak. His constitution and strength have increased by three and two points respectively, reaching five points in constitution and four points in strength.

Afterwards, the Agility and Spirit attributes were also increased by one point each, both becoming three points.

In other words, Yang Lei's four attributes have now become: five points in Constitution, four points in Strength, and three points each in Agility and Spirit.

"I guess you could say he's grown a little."

Walking home, Yang Lei glanced at his attribute panel and comforted himself with these thoughts.

There's no other way. He's still too young, and his weak body hasn't been repaired yet. Plus, there's no one around to take care of him. He can't start training now. Otherwise, if he develops any health problems, gets injured, or breaks a bone, no one will know. If he dies outside, there's no one to complain to.

As for whether to practice in the village, he had considered it. He had started jogging in the mornings for the past two days and also did some exercises at home, such as sit-ups or push-ups, but he couldn't do those high-difficulty exercises.

"Let's take it slow, this is my own body."

In the end, Yang Lei could only comfort himself in this way, while also warning himself not to act rashly and go crazy. Not everyone can do the kind of training that the master and apprentice did for thick eyebrows; it's easy to ruin someone's life.

Chapter 9

"ah."

As Yang Lei walked through the streets and alleys toward home, he suddenly paused, hearing a startled cry from the distant woods.

Konoha Village is built in the forest, and trees and groves are everywhere, even within the village itself, there are several small groves.

"The voice sounds familiar?"

Yang Lei frowned, realizing the exclamation sounded familiar. His eyes widened in surprise. Although he had been in Konoha Village for over half a month, he hadn't made any friends due to his reclusive lifestyle. At this moment, he only knew two people: Asuma and Hinata, whom he longed for.

"Is it Hinata?"

Knowing who the voice belonged to, Yang Lei didn't hesitate any longer and immediately ran towards the direction of the sound. His agility of three points allowed him to achieve an average speed of three meters per second, which was neither fast nor slow. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the forest.

"Hey, you think you can just run away without apologizing?"

In the woods, three boys, around seven or eight years old, were seen surrounding a little girl, relentlessly scolding her. Even when the little girl was kneeling on the ground crying, they wouldn't let her go.

"Damn it."

Yang Lei clenched his teeth to keep himself from making a sound, turned around and found a wooden stick that was neither too thick nor too thin. He quietly crept over, and just as one of the boys was about to raise his hand to teach the sobbing Hinata another lesson, he finally arrived in front of him.

"Don't bully Hinata."

With a loud shout, Yang Lei's voice, though still childish, was incredibly powerful as he jumped up and slammed the stick down. The four children were stunned. Then, with a few swipes to the left and right, he quickly knocked three of the much taller boys to the ground.

"Come with me."

Yang Lei knew his body was too weak, lacking both offensive and defensive capabilities. Worried that the three boys might still be able to get up, he quickly grabbed Hinata's little hand, turned around, and ran away. On the way, they unexpectedly encountered Naruto. Under his astonished gaze, the two ran wildly and soon disappeared behind several large trees.

Some might ask, if you're worried that those three kids will get up and retaliate, why not continue attacking them?

Brother, we're all from the same village. Yang Lei is someone who just joined not long ago. Let's not give him the chance to wipe us out, okay?

"Phew, where are we going?"

As they ran, Hinata couldn't keep up. He turned around and saw that the three little boys hadn't caught up, so he called out.

Don't be fooled by Yang Lei's stats; if he just maintains an average running speed, five points of stamina are enough to keep him running at three meters per second for a very long time.

"Where are they? They didn't catch up, did they?"

Yang Lei finally slowed down and saw that Xiao Chutian's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. He quickly and gently pulled her into his arms.

No.

The two were only five years old, what could they possibly know? At least little Hinata didn't understand those messy things. Even though Yang Lei was holding her tightly, she didn't say much. She buried her little head in his heart and shook it, saying, "Thank you so much just now."

"Gudong."

Yang Lei wasn't young; mentally he was already in his twenties. He swallowed hard, refusing to let go, and slowly sat down against a large tree, still holding the little chick. To prevent her from realizing what was happening and getting up to leave, he quickly tried to think of a topic, asking, "By the way, what happened just now? Why did they bully you?"

Hinata blushed upon hearing this, lowered her head shyly, and finally whispered the whole story, making Yang Lei shake his head with a wry smile.

It turns out that the three boys didn't bully her for no reason. It was because she knocked the ice cream that they had finally managed to get some change for on the ground, and because she was too shy to talk to them, she turned around and tried to run away, which angered the three boys.

In other words, did Yang Lei do something wrong?

“If you’re wrong, you’re wrong,” Yang Lei said, taking advantage of the fact that the little girl was still too young to understand anything. He gently stroked her back and said righteously, “Whether you’re right or wrong, I won’t allow anyone to bully you.”

"Yang Jun".

Hinata looked up at Yang Lei, her eyes brimming with emotion.

Children, though they don't understand love and affection, know right from wrong. Adults, in particular, teach their children to be good children. At this moment, Hinata knew that her behavior just now was definitely not that of a good child, but Yang Lei supported her, which suddenly touched the little girl.

It's not that she's easily moved; there's actually a reason.

Why is Hinata out alone today? Where did her bodyguard go? You know, the young lady of the Hyuga clan is no joke, especially in the ninja world. Her bloodline limit is something that everyone envies, and she usually has at least one bodyguard by her side.

But why did she come out on her own today?

It turns out that Hinata was doing her homework today, but she kept failing to finish it, so her father scolded her. That's why she ran away from home in a bad mood, and the guards couldn't catch up with her in time.

But at this moment, she received unreasonable support from Yang Lei, how could she not be moved?

(PS: You mean Hanabi is five years younger than Hinata? That's really ridiculous... I'll have to change this part of the story... Anyway, Hinata was defeated by Hanabi, who is five years younger? Sigh, I won't go into all the details.)

0010 Eye Roll Acquired

Faced with Hinata's touching words, Yang Lei was overjoyed. Although he had never been in a relationship before his transmigration, mainly due to his inferiority complex and social withdrawal, he had at least seen a pig run even if he hadn't eaten pork.

Although he knew that Hinata was still too young and probably didn't know what love was, he also knew that he had definitely left a deep impression on her.

"Why not make a deeper impression?"

Suddenly an idea flashed through Yang Lei's mind. He lifted the little hands that were wandering around the little chick and cupped her face in his hands. His breathing became inexplicably rapid. He slowly leaned his head forward and gently bit the little chick's lips, who was wide-eyed and at a loss.

"Ok?"

Hinata let out a blank hum, which instantly ignited Yang Lei's heart. Although his body did not react, he was unwilling to let go of this opportunity and opened his mouth again to seal it.

"Cough cough."

Half a minute later, Hinata turned his head and coughed, which finally brought their confrontation to a temporary halt.

Hinata.

Yang Lei wrapped his arms around her small waist again and whispered, "I must marry you."

Chapter 10

. . . . . .

After that, Yang Lei stopped bullying Hinata. He was worried that if they were caught, he might be killed by the Hyuga family, since she was their most precious young lady.

Another thing is that they are still too young. It's okay once or twice, but it's really not right to keep bullying Hinata in front of her innocent gaze.

"That's right."

The two remained close together, even though Hinata had climbed off his lap. They were whispering to each other when Yang Lei said, "Next year I'm going to the Ninja Academy, right? You're going too?"
