A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

"Is this never going to end?"

The Jonin roared angrily, feeling his shadow clones being caught up and destroyed one by one. As the number of shadow clones decreased, his danger grew. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt a sense of regret for his past actions.

If they hadn't been so arrogant and had joined forces with the Chunin subordinates to attack Yang Lei from the beginning, the outcome might have been different.

Even worse, if they had been more careful and had pretended to agree to Yang Lei's so-called promise: "If you abandon this mission, I will spare your lives," and had watched his response from the shadows, they might not have ended up in this predicament.

After all, the choices at that time would have been much more proactive. If they saw that Yang Lei was difficult to deal with, they could have simply left.

If Yang Lei is bluffing them, that's easy to handle; an explosive tag can kill him.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

Now it's all over, I guess he has no way to escape now.

Yang Lei's ability to instantly defeat the first Jonin was truly terrifying; he genuinely lacked the confidence to beat Yang Lei.

"The Guiding Force of All Things".

Just then, Yang Lei and he finally closed the distance to a range where they could use the Myriad Manifestations of Heaven.

"Let's give it our all."

Feeling a sudden, immense suction force, the Jonin gritted his teeth, quickly turned around to look at Yang Lei, and rushed over with a kunai in hand.

“Slay.”

Before the Jonin could even swing his kunai, Yang Lei roared and slashed forward with his Kusanagi sword. He easily cut the kunai in the Jonin's hand as if slicing mud into tofu, and then, without slowing down, he cleaved the Jonin in two.

"solve."

With a flick of his wrist, he sheathed the Kusanagi sword, which was completely unstained by blood. He opened his right hand and condensed a Rasengan on it, while his left hand formed a hand seal to unleash the Flying Thunder God Technique. Suddenly, he traversed countless distances and appeared on the other side of the forest.

"Rasengan."

With a soft shout, Yang Lei slammed the Rasengan in his hand onto the last Jonin, who was kneeling on the bank of the stream, cleaning himself of his lingering scent, sending him flying far away.

Previously, Yang Lei's shadow clone had caught up with this Jonin after breaking through various obstacles. However, during the battle, due to his overall weakness, he only managed to leave the Flying Thunder God Technique rune seal on the Jonin before being killed by him with serious injuries.

It must be said that Yang Lei's strength is not to be underestimated. After more than six years of hard training, his physical qualities, strength, speed, and chakra reserves have all surpassed those of an ordinary Jonin. After accumulating a lot of combat experience using his eye techniques, he can now seriously injure a Jonin even with just a shadow clone.

However, if it were his true form, with his various powerful abilities, he would be someone that ordinary Jonin could not handle.

For example, in this battle, he took down three Jonin and seven Chunin, a feat that even Kakashi and Asuma couldn't achieve.

Perhaps they were just holding back, since they had people behind them who needed their protection, so they didn't dare to go all out in the fight.

Kakashi, in particular, would collapse from the strain of his Sharingan if he fought with all his might, and would need at least ten days to recover. Therefore, he would not easily use his full strength unless he was certain that he could defeat the enemy.

Chapter 100

Yang Lei is different from them. Because they protect his rear, Yang Lei can go all out to fight the enemy.

In particular, his eye technique is different from Kakashi's. Not only does it consume very little energy, but also because he possesses the Sage Body and the super-strong regenerative properties of the Nine-Tails' chakra, he is not afraid of a war of attrition.

Well, it's a combination of reasons that has made Yang Lei so powerful. If we're really going to rank him, he should actually still be at the level of an elite Chunin.

It was precisely because of his powerful eye techniques and close-combat skills that he was able to successfully kill these opponents.

Furthermore, the teamwork of these three Jonin was truly terrible; it couldn't even be considered teamwork at all. It was no different from them being defeated one by one.

However.

Yang Lei used his decapitation sword to sever the head of the last Jonin, confirming that he was dead. He then slung the sword back over his shoulder and walked back, muttering to himself, "It was because the Universal Pull and the Divine Raid were unknown that we were able to achieve such a feat and kill the first Jonin in one fell swoop. Otherwise, their morale wouldn't have collapsed."

When Yang Lei was summarizing the battle, he did not become complacent or arrogant because he had easily killed these powerful enemies.

It's true that he's relaxed, at least he hasn't shown his Reincarnation Immortal Body mode yet. If he were to condense the Seeking the Dao Jade to fight against others, he would naturally unleash even more power and his attack would be even stronger.

But what's that saying again? It's about underestimating yourself and overestimating your enemies. Only in this way can you always maintain vigilance, only in this way can you treat every enemy with a serious attitude, only in this way can you see your own shortcomings, and only in this way can you live longer.

In this cruel world, no matter how powerful a person is, if they become arrogant, they will eventually make a mistake. Even someone as powerful as Kaguya Otsutsuki was once sealed away.

If, in the original story, Kaguya Otsutsuki had used a less powerful technique instead of the one that consumed a great deal of energy to fight Naruto and Sasuke, would she really have been sealed away?

Furthermore, since Sasuke can be thrown into a specific space within Amenominaka separately, why can't others be thrown in separately as well? For example, if Sasuke comes out, then throw Naruto in; if Naruto comes out, then throw Sasuke in. Even with Sakura's help, Obito's Kamui probably couldn't bring them both out indefinitely. In fact, just two or three times would be enough to trap Naruto or Sasuke inside forever.

If Naruto or Sasuke are trapped in the world of Amenominaka forever, will Kaguya Otsutsuki still be sealed away?

Actually, Kaguya Otsutsuki was too arrogant, which is why she was sealed away.

As for Yang Lei, it's not that he's immune to arrogance or carelessness, but that won't happen to him yet, because there are still one formidable enemy after another lurking in the distance.

0094 The Shocked Kakashi

"Is it resolved?"

Emerging from the forest, they saw Kakashi and Asuma leading the genin in a protective formation around Tazna. They had been on high alert, but when they saw that only Yang Lei had come out, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"what."

Yang Lei nodded and replied, "Now I can sleep soundly, we've got it all under control."

Since the eye technique had been deactivated, Yang Lei wasn't afraid to confront the monsters again. He walked over, stretched out his arms, and said to Kakashi and Asuma, "Uncle Asuma, Kakashi-sensei, you should go and rest too. I've slept all day. I'll take over the night watch from now on."

"Alright."

The two Jonin nodded without further ado, and led the Genin and Tatsuna's family back into the tent to rest again.

During this time, Sasuke kept turning back to steal glances at Yang Lei's back. It wasn't because he had heard from Kakashi that Yang Lei also had the Sharingan, but because he was envious of Yang Lei's strength and had a hint of anticipation.

"When I get back, I will also train hard while wearing the weights. As long as I can reach Yang Lei's level and awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, I will be able to kill him."

"Itachi, just you wait. I will kill you as you wish. Whether it's the revenge for your parents or the blood feud for your clan, I will make you pay for it all."

. . . . . .

"Asma".

In the latter half of the night, unable to fall asleep, Xing Si murmured a question to himself, not caring whether Asma was asleep or not: "What exactly is wrong with Yang Lei's eyes?"

"Don't ask anymore."

Asuma sighed softly. Although he didn't have the Sharingan or any other eye techniques, Kakashi's distraction during the battle was too suspicious. He subconsciously glanced at Yang Lei's eyes and noticed their condition. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Hadn't he bought him a pair of goggles? How could he still be so careless?

What Asma didn't know was that Yang Lei's goggles were currently lying in Xiao Ying's ninja tool bag. She had taken them off that morning when she was massaging his throbbing head because they were in the way, and then she didn't intend to return them to Yang Lei.

Xiaoying may have had feelings for Yang Lei, but because Yang Lei valued Hinata too much and didn't care about anyone else, she and the others consciously chose to back down.

Furthermore, Yang Lei had been away from school for five years, which gradually led Xiaoying to focus all her attention on Sasuke.

Furthermore, before Yang Lei appeared, Xiao Ying did indeed only like Sasuke.

However, because Yang Lei's previous help was so important to her, it rekindled her feelings. It's also because Sasuke was too arrogant and never gave Xiaoying a second glance, so it's no wonder that Xiaoying developed feelings for Yang Lei again.

Affection is one thing, actions are another. Unless Yang Lei turns around for her, Xiao Ying will absolutely not do anything unreserved.

That's why she secretly hid Yang Lei's goggles. Since she couldn't express her feelings, she might as well keep them as a memento.

"She really is a bad woman."

At this moment, Xiaoying suddenly couldn't sleep. She secretly took out her goggles and hugged them to her chest, murmuring in a voice that was only her own. Her expression was extremely complicated. After a long time, she finally let out a bitter sigh.

Her heart was in turmoil. She had liked Sasuke for so many years, but when she thought about Sasuke's cold indifference all these years, and Yang Lei's nervousness and concern when he treated her, it was like night and day.

. . . . . .

We've strayed off-topic, cough cough, let's get back to Kakashi and Asuma.

"What?"

Kakashi rolled over, glancing first at the genin and Tazna, seeing that they were all sound asleep and showed no sign of waking up, before whispering, "Do you perhaps know what kind of bloodline limit that is?"

"this."

Asuma looked conflicted, but he knew that Kakashi was loyal to the Root and Danzo. Without Kakashi's sudden betrayal, the Third Hokage might have been successfully assassinated by Root and Danzo.

So he couldn't say nothing, or Kakashi would feel disheartened, but he also couldn't say everything, or Yang Lei's situation would become more dangerous.

Regardless of whether someone is one of our own or not, and regardless of whether someone is a tight-lipped person, the meaning of a secret is that the fewer people who know it, the better. If everyone in the world knows it, then what kind of secret is it?

Chapter 101

Yang Lei's secret is no ordinary secret; it concerns the arrival of a powerful figure capable of ruling the world in the ninja realm, and the emergence of a clan even stronger than the Uchiha and Hyuga clans. He cannot afford to be complacent.

just.

"Kakashi."

After hesitating for a moment, Asuma made his decision. He looked at Kakashi seriously, lowered his voice to the lowest level, and said, word by word, "Just think of it as a bloodline limit that can be imitated."

"Varied!"

Kakashi almost cried out in surprise, but Asuma angrily silenced him with her hand after he managed to utter just one word.

· ·····Requesting flowers··· ···

"Is that true?"

Kakashi stared at Asuma with his exposed eye wide open. Although Asuma's words were unclear, he still understood. As someone who possessed the Sharingan and was known as the Copy Ninja, he had a deep understanding of the word 'imitation'.

Although Asuma didn't reveal the truth, Kakashi still understood the horrifying meaning hidden within her words.

A bloodline limit that can be imitated? Imitate what?

Based on what he saw in Yang Lei, Kakashi couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "A bloodline limit that can imitate other people's bloodline limits? You could also call it a copy? This is a powerful bloodline limit that the Sharingan couldn't catch up to even in ten thousand years!"

"This is insane!"

Kakashi smiled wryly, finding it hard to believe, but Asuma didn't seem to be lying. He sighed softly and said, "No wonder the Third Hokage suddenly stopped secretly 'taking care' of Yang Lei a few days ago. So that's why."

.........

Kakashi is no fool. He has the ability to stand on his own in every aspect. Otherwise, how could he have won the title of Sixth Hokage in the original work?

Therefore, once she learned that Yang Lei's bloodline was so incredibly powerful, she already understood the Third Hokage's plan.

Previously, the third generation leader not only monitored Yang Lei himself, but also gave orders and instructions to his confidants.

Furthermore, before taking over Team 7, Kakashi was also an ANBU member under the Third Hokage, so how could he not have been involved in the mission to monitor Yang Lei?

Just a few days ago, Kakashi and his brothers, along with Kanna, made a pact that Yang Lei's name could be removed from the list of names for the next P-level character. In other words, from that moment on, Yang Lei was truly accepted by Konoha Village.

Kakashi had been confused before, but he hadn't asked. Now he finally understood.

Indeed, how could someone with such an extraordinary bloodline be sent as an undercover agent? This isn't harming Konoha, but rather helping Konoha, right?

(PS: I think I'm courting disaster. Given the typical mindset of our website's readers, if I write something even slightly... well, it seems like if Xiaoying marries someone else, it'll be considered giving away her daughter, right? I'll definitely lose favorites and subscriptions, right? But I'm writing a single-female-lead story. What am I going to do? I only wanted to subtly highlight the protagonist's excellence, but now it seems I have to start a harem again?????? Don't worry, let me write slowly, everyone can read at their own pace. I wouldn't dare do anything that would cause me to lose followers and subscriptions...)

0095 Kakashi's Conflict

"Kakashi."

Asuma looked intently at Kakashi, who was visibly shocked. Although the darkness prevented him from seeing Asuma's expression, Kakashi could still discern a hint of seriousness in Asuma's gleaming eyes.

"You don't need to say anything more."

Kakashi exhaled a stale breath, forcing himself to regain his composure. He already guessed Asuma's meaning without him having to speak, and replied, "I will keep my mouth shut."

I believe you on that point.

Asuma trusted Kakashi a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have given up. However, he still had a few instructions. He said, "Don't tell anyone about Yang Lei's eyes, or even about how he already possesses such great strength, or how he helped Naruto and the others heal their serious injuries. Don't write it in the mission report."

"and."

At this point, Asuma turned to look at the genin in the room and continued, "Don't forget to give them a gag order."

"Oh?"

Kakashi was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was going on, nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said nothing more.

As mentioned before, spies are a very common profession in the ninja world. For example, there was Mizuki, the teacher at the ninja academy. This shows that even one's own ninja village is not so safe.

Yang Lei is just too outstanding; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he stands out from the crowd.

He's only twelve years old, yet he's already capable of killing a ten-man squad led by three Jonin. If the enemy finds out, he'll definitely be targeted.

Furthermore, if others were to discover his extraordinary bloodline limit, even the people in his own village would be tempted. To say nothing of the distant past, Asuma has always been on guard against Danzo.

Others may not know that Danzo had secretly collected all the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, but who is Asuma? He is the son of the Third Hokage. Even if he didn't know at first, after he saw with his own eyes that the Third Hokage sent someone to ask Danzo for a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan, he would understand everything.

That's why he was so careful. Even though he was facing Kakashi, even though he was loyal to the Hokage's faction, he would never have told Yang Lei about it if he had no other choice.

There's nothing you can do about it. You have to give people some trust in order to trust them, otherwise, they will only gradually drift away from you.

Asuma dared not allow Kakashi, a Jonin with such intelligence and strength, to misunderstand him. It would be a great loss if he really caused Kakashi to become estranged from the Third Hokage.

"This is really troublesome."
