A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

Unfortunately, this isn't the original story.

"What are you saying to our boss, you bastard?"

"How dare you speak to our elder brother like that? Do you want to die? Huh? You brat."

Before anyone else could react, Yang Lei's two awful teammates jumped out first. They didn't care that Dou was wearing a Wood Industry headband, and they started yelling and cursing at him, as if they would rush up and teach him a lesson if he said the wrong thing.

"Honestly, it's so noisy."

Just then, three people suddenly moved, moving so fast that even the best teammates couldn't see them clearly.

“aniki”.

When they encountered danger, the two quickly called for their older brother to come to their rescue.

"Damn it."

Yang Lei angrily shouted, "Am I the eldest brother or the youngest brother?"

Thinking about it this way, although the two of them called Yang Lei "Big Brother," they were the ones who went out and showed off first, and then called on Yang Lei to go when danger came. It really seemed like the same old story: when things were going well, the big brother would show off and play with women, and when things got tough, the little brother would risk his life to defend the territory.

However, despite his words, Yang Lei still had to step up. If it were Kabuto, who was still a Konoha ninja, he would have to take action, since it was his lousy teammate who provoked the other party first, but he didn't immediately intervene.

But what jumped out now wasn't a Konoha ninja, but three guys from Otogakure—none other than Tos, Sakura, and Kim.

"You should carefully consider the differences between each other before you start."

It's unclear who Yang Lei was speaking to; perhaps his best teammates, or maybe the three Sound Ninja who rushed in.

"Outrageous and shameless."

Tos gave a disdainful sneer and charged forward, his right fist clenched as he prepared to strike.

Besides Tos, Sak and King had also arrived. They originally wanted to provide support from the side, since Yang Lei and his group numbered fourteen or fifteen. However, seeing that everyone else was just watching without offering any help, they decided to take advantage of the situation and launch a coordinated attack on Yang Lei.

"Aren't you ashamed of your boasting?"

Yang Lei snorted softly, and only then did he finally make his move. Without any visible action, he took a step forward and disappeared from his spot. Standing beside Tos, he raised his foot and kicked Tos hard in the waist, sending him flying until he crashed heavily into the wall before coming to a stop.

It has to be said that Yang Lei held back; otherwise, that kick alone could have broken his back or even smashed through the wall. However, since it was during the Chunin Exams and they were nominally allies in Konoha, it was better not to kill anyone.

"Do you two still want to fight?"

Yang Lei rushed towards Sak and Jin, who had just appeared in his previous spot, without turning his head, and asked.

"I won't dare to do it again."

Their expressions changed instantly, and they quickly turned and fled.

"Gudong."

All that could be heard in the classroom was the sound of swallowing saliva. Apart from a few people, everyone's face changed color because of the speed that Yang Lei had shown.

"So strong."

Among the three from Sunagakure Village, Gaara frowned, then relaxed, and murmured softly, "Mom, do you want to taste his blood? Don't worry, don't rush, I'll let you have it soon."

"A funny little devil."

On the other side, among the three members of the Kusakabe Village group, a tall, thin man narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled to himself, muttering, "It seems that quite a few geniuses have emerged in Konoha since I left."

This person was none other than Orochimaru, whom Yang Lei feared.

"Boom."

Just then, a cloud of white mist suddenly appeared on the podium.

Chapter 159

"You all better behave yourselves."

With the appearance of Ibihi, the first test was finally about to begin.

0149 was eliminated!

As requested by Ibihi, he handed over the fishy smell in the room, then received his number, found his seat, and sat down to wait for the first exam.

Not long after everyone found their places, Ibiki began to explain, writing the so-called rules on the blackboard as he spoke, and finally shouted: "Now I announce that the first written test of the Chunin Selection Exam has officially begun. You have one hour to answer the questions."

After saying that, Ibixi put on his watches and revealed a cold face, glaring at Xing Suan's eyes and saying, "Hurry up and cheat, so I can find out."

According to Ibiki's previous account, this was not just a simple written test, but a test in the name of ninjas. In other words, as the name suggests, it was a test of Shinsou's intelligence gathering skills.

In particular, Ibixi had specifically reminded Xingyao that everyone has ten points, but each time someone is caught cheating, only two points are deducted. This was to tell Xingyao that he should be prepared to cheat, and now it's up to him to see who realizes it first.

"Those two idiots better not do anything rash."

Yang Lei glanced absentmindedly at the exam paper in his hand, and started writing absentmindedly as well. At the same time, he secretly activated both his Sharingan and Byakugan. He first checked on Hinata and Sakura's situation and saw that they were already writing very smoothly.

Hinata, the former, cheated with her Byakugan, while Sakura, the latter, had excellent academic performance and even knew knowledge that only Chunin could access, which made Yang Lei secretly admire her.

After looking at Hinata and Sakura, Yang Lei looked further ahead and the scene that appeared in front of him almost made him vomit blood. His two awful teammates were craning their necks and looking around, as if they were afraid that the proctor would not see them.

"Those two idiots."

Yang Lei gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath. Then he looked at the Chunin sitting in a row to the side and saw that the names of his two teammates were clearly written on the whiteboard in one of them. Each of them had two strokes, which meant that they had been caught cheating twice.

"This is just the beginning."

Yang Lei roared inwardly, "I've already been caught twice at the very beginning, this is too much!"

And if he wasn't mistaken, it seemed that the two teammates had only written a few words on their test papers. In other words, they were caught twice and still didn't copy a single question. That's just too much, isn't it?

"This is the third time, those two bastards."

Before Yang Lei could even catch his breath, he saw the Chunin by the wall start writing again, adding another stroke after the names of his two terrible teammates, meaning it was the third time.

"If this continues..."

Yang Lei was getting restless. If he let the two of them keep playing like this, wouldn't they die before they even lasted ten minutes?

"Whoosh."

Just as Yang Lei was about to take action but hadn't figured out how, a kunai was swiftly thrown from the hand of a Chunin by the wall, landing squarely on the table of one of his teammates.

"You have cheated five times and are disqualified from the exam."

A Chunin pointed at the awful teammate and shouted, then added, "His teammates are also disqualified and can leave the field."

"What? How could this be?"

The worst teammate is still yelling and shouting.

"Sure enough, they couldn't even last ten minutes."

Looking at the completed exam papers, Yang Lei felt a surge of anger rising within him, and he almost couldn't resist giving the two of them a good beating right there and then.

"You're saying I cheated five times or something, where's your evidence?"

That awful teammate is still yelling; I don't know if he's genuinely stupid or just pretending.

"Stop making a fool of yourself."

Unable to bear it any longer, Yang Lei roared, "Come out with me right now, and I'll settle the score with you later."

After saying that, Yang Lei rushed out at top speed, and before leaving, he carefully examined the grass ninja that Orochimaru was impersonating with his Byakugan, feeling very worried about Hinata and Sakura.

It must be because the pressure of the Chunin Exams was too great; otherwise, the other Genin present would probably have burst out laughing.

"say."

Before they even left the ninja academy, Yang Lei couldn't hold back any longer. He blocked his two awful teammates at the top of the stairs on the second floor and yelled, "Are you doing this on purpose? Didn't I tell you not to make any rash moves?"

"There's nothing I can do, brother."

The teammate on the left suddenly spread his hands, looking extremely aggrieved, and said, "We also want to pass the Chunin Exams, but we can't, because we're already Chunin."

"Ok?"

· ·····Requesting flowers··· ·······

Yang Lei frowned, somewhat confused about what was going on.

“aniki”.

The teammate on the right, who was quite the character, gestured with his hand and said, "You should go ask the Third Hokage for clarification. We don't actually know the details either. That's all, we're leaving now."

After saying that, the two suddenly took out two animal masks, put them on their faces, and disappeared in a flash. They were actually two members of the Dark Guard.

"I go."

Yang Lei was so angry he almost vomited blood.

In other words, those two bastards were deliberately messing with him. They were both ANBU members, with at least elite Chunin-level strength, but they deliberately got caught cheating five times, and then dragged him down so that he was kicked out of the first exam.

... ...

Another thing is the previous SOS call. These two bastards shouldn't have been scared by the Sound Ninja trio, right?

Chapter 160

"Don't let me catch you two next time."

Yang Lei yelled, startling his two teammates who hadn't gone far, causing one of them to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

"Um, we're not being held a grudge against, are we?"

The teammate on the left asked the one on the right somewhat uneasily, "Yesterday, we were really caught off guard and kicked down. Today, the guy calling me 'big brother' is genuine. We're just not as skilled as him."

Therefore, they were still worried that Yang Lei would target them and settle scores later.

"calm down."

The teammate on the right pretended to be calm, but his forehead was already covered in cold sweat under his mask. He said, "Uncle Asma wouldn't just stand by and watch us get bullied by his son, would he?"

It turns out that these two guys are actually members of the Sarutobi clan. In other words, it really was the Third Hokage's arrangement. I just don't know what his thoughts were.

"What exactly is going on?"

As Yang Lei walked out of the ninja academy gates, he still couldn't figure out what the Third Hokage was up to. If he didn't want him to participate, he should have just said so directly. Why did he have to cause trouble in secret? And then his awful teammate told him the truth, which gave Yang Lei a headache.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just go ask the Third Hokage for the truth."

Muttering to himself, Yang Lei set off for the Hokage's office building. Since he no longer needed to participate in the Chunin Exams, he simply put on his weighted gear along the way.

0150 Preparing to head to Flower and Fruit Mountain

Yang Lei jogged down the street to the Naruto Building. He was covered in sweat from wearing weights, but he considered it a workout.

"Boom bang bang."

Upon arriving at the entrance to the Hokage's office, Yang Lei knocked on the door. Only after hearing the Third Hokage's voice inside saying "Come in" did he push the door open and enter.

"what?"

Yang Lei was stunned as soon as he entered the door. He saw a tall man with long white hair standing in front of the Third Hokage. Who else could it be but Jiraiya?

"Little Yang Lei, what brings you here? Shouldn't you be taking your first exam right now?"

When the third generation saw that the person who came was Yang Lei, he was also taken aback. Wasn't the first exam in progress at this time? Why was he here?

"You still ask me?"

Yang Lei withdrew his gaze from Jiraiya. Logically, he shouldn't know the Sannin, so he didn't say much. Instead, he looked at the Third Hokage with dissatisfaction and complained, "Third Hokage, why did you send two Anbu to deliberately cause me trouble?"

"what?"

The Third Hokage froze, instantly understanding everything. He couldn't help but glare and yell, "Those two little bastards, even though they're both ANBU, they still dared to reveal the mastermind behind it all. Let's see how I punish them!"

"So it was all arranged by you on purpose?"

Yang Lei rolled his eyes, but luckily he was still wearing sunglasses and goggles, so no one could see his eyes.

"But."

Yang Lei looked puzzled and asked again, "Why are you doing this? If you don't want me to participate, you can just tell me."

"This one."

The Third Hokage hesitated for a moment before letting out a sigh and saying, "The main reason is that Jiraiya brought back news that Orochimaru might come back to cause trouble during the Chunin Exams, which is why I don't want you to participate in this year's Chunin Exams. I was also afraid that if I told you directly, you wouldn't take it seriously, since you already have the strength of a Jonin, but Orochimaru is no ordinary Jonin. He's one of the legendary Sannin, a near-Kage level ninja, and has even become a Kage level ninja."

He rattled off a long explanation, revealing his entire plan to Yang Lei: a dangerous guy was coming to cause trouble, and the Third Hokage was worried about Yang Lei's safety, so he didn't want him to participate.

Then he worried that Yang Lei, who had just shown that he had the strength to kill a Jonin, was too arrogant and did not take the Third Hokage's warning to heart. He was worried that if Yang Lei and Orochimaru really met, it would be terrible if something bad happened.

Yang Lei's extraordinary talent was extremely important, and the Third Hokage couldn't afford to let him make any mistakes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated him so differently. You know, even Naruto, who was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, wasn't prepared to be targeted by Orochimaru. The fact that the Third Hokage treated Yang Lei this way shows how worried he was.

As for who brought this message back, is that even a question? Didn't you see Jiraiya standing right here? Just like in the original story, Jiraiya returned because he had overheard some information, although it wasn't detailed. All the signs indicated that Orochimaru might be planning an attack on Konoha.
