A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

This would be very disadvantageous for Danzo, so he had to find a way to reduce the Third Hokage's prestige, so that he would be embarrassed to promote the people he favored.

By then, whoever becomes Hokage will have to prove their true abilities, and if it comes down to true ability, Danzo fears no one.

But what should he do?

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, in the Hokage Building's office, the Third Hokage had not yet fully stepped down. He still had to work before the Fifth Hokage took office, which is why he was still staying there.

However, the Third Hokage was not working at this time, but was sitting face to face with Jiraiya, looking at each other in silence.

"Jiraiya."

Chapter 182

After a long while, the Third Hokage suddenly sighed and, feigning pity, persuaded, "You should also pity the teacher. Why don't you stay in the village and take over the title of Fifth Hokage?"

"I can't do that."

Jiraiya rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that neither he nor Orochimaru could beat Minato Namikaze back then, so if he were to take the position now, where would he put his old face?

Another point is that over the years, apart from a brief moment when I had the idea of ​​becoming Hokage for fun, I haven't really thought about it since. I genuinely don't want to be restricted by the identity of Hokage.

Finally, he also has things to do outside now, not just sightseeing. When he was chasing Orochimaru's clues, he accidentally discovered an organization called 'Akatsuki', which is already showing some promise. He is not willing to give up now.

“Jiraiya, yo.”

The Third Hokage let out another long sigh, looking pitifully at Jiraiya, which sent a chill down the spine of the middle-aged man, giving him goosebumps.

"Teacher, when did you learn such a shameless move?"

Jiraiya seemed quite helpless, truly unable to do anything about his teacher, since he was the most soft-hearted person.

He simply couldn't accept it, because he knew his own limitations and knew he wasn't cut out for it. But the Third Hokage seemed determined to hold on to him and refused to let go. So he said, "Alright, I'll go find someone more suitable to be the Fifth Hokage."

"Oh?"

The Third Hokage's eyes lit up. He naturally knew who Jiraiya was referring to. He nodded and finally agreed, "If you can find Tsunade, that would be perfect."

Jiraiya glanced sideways at the Third Hokage, thinking to himself, "Can't you at least be a little more polite to me?" It seems the Third Hokage really has no other choice, otherwise he wouldn't be wasting his breath talking to him.

Sure enough, he chose Tsunade without hesitation, which hurt Jiraiya deeply.

"That's right."

Not long after being injured, Jiraiya suddenly remembered something and said, "I want to take Naruto with me on the journey. One reason is that I want to teach him Minato's signature moves, and the other is that I want to protect him."

"protect?"

The third generation leader was taken aback, looking quite bewildered, and asked, "Is the village unsafe?"

He needs to find out the truth. If even the village isn't safe, then the problem is huge.

"No."

Jiraiya quickly waved his hand and explained, "It's like this, when I was chasing Orochimaru, I learned about an organization called 'Akatsuki' and discovered that they seem to be eyeing the Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki, so I have to..."

0171 Uchiha Itachi Appears

On the morning of this day, on the main street of Konoha Village.

"Yang Lei, are you this diligent every day?"

Naruto and Yang Lei were jogging together when Naruto, panting heavily, asked Yang Lei a question, word by word.

The two have known each other for a long time and have been living in the Relief Building, but they only found out each other's room number in the last two days. This morning, Naruto came to find Yang Lei, wanting to train with him.

But the result was that Yang Lei, who was carrying a heavier load, was still fine, while he was almost unable to go on.

Indeed, after more than six years of perseverance, Yang Lei was already familiar with such intense exercise; this could only be considered an appetizer before the main course.

"What? You're not going to make it?"

Yang Lei glanced at Naruto sideways and said, "My strength didn't come easily; it was accumulated little by little through hard work."

"Naruto, there are no shortcuts on the path to becoming strong. Didn't you already know that?"

After saying that, Yang Lei gradually increased his speed, making it even more difficult for Naruto to keep up.

"Well said."

Just then, a white-haired middle-aged man suddenly caught up from behind, running alongside the two of them while giving Yang Lei a thumbs-up and saying in approval, "Kid, you have a good understanding of things. I'm rooting for you."

"The lustful immortal."

Naruto cried out in surprise, shouting in the street, "Perverted Sage, why didn't you go peep into the women's bathhouse? Why did you come to me instead? Do you have some amazing trick to teach me again?"

"what?"

Because of Naruto's voice, all the pedestrians on the street looked at him with surprise. Some of the young girls and young wives blushed, spat, and cursed him as shameless.

"Idiot Naruto."

Jiraiya and Yang Lei both yelled at each other. The former was truly furious, while the latter had suffered an undeserved calamity and dared not continue walking with them. To avoid being misunderstood, he quickly ran a few steps and disappeared.

"Naruto, come with me."

Jiraiya didn't dare stand there any longer. He quickly pulled Naruto around to another street and stopped when there weren't many pedestrians around. He said, "Naruto, I have a very powerful technique to teach you, but you have to leave the village with me for a while. We can practice it slowly on the way."

. . . . . .

After breaking up with that idiot Naruto, Yang Lei continued to jog in the streets in the morning.

Although his strength was already quite formidable, he had not forgotten how he had grown up. It wasn't through underhanded means. Just as he told Naruto, there are no shortcuts on the road to growth. If you want to be prominent in front of others, you have to suffer behind the scenes. This is an eternal truth.

Even if there were a way to easily gain great strength in front of him, Yang Lei wouldn't be so stubborn as to refuse it. But once he got the method, he would still continue to cultivate.

"That's right."

As Yang Lei ran, he suddenly remembered something and muttered to himself, "If the plot hasn't changed, I remember Itachi would return to the village around this time, right?"

With that thought in mind, Yang Lei changed the direction he was running and turned to run down another street. He hadn't run far when he saw two people. The one on the left was Asuma, and the one on the right was Kurenai Yuhi.

"really."

Chapter 183

Upon seeing the two, Yang Lei couldn't help but nod to himself. It seemed that the plot still had a lot of inertia. Although he was very active in the Konoha Collapse Plan and had changed the plot of the Land of Waves beyond recognition.

Even so, some things still happen because they are not affected by him.

For example, Itachi and Kisame will definitely go back to the village to check on Naruto's situation.

. . . . . .

"Oh, isn't this Yang Lei?"

Soon, Yang Lei jogged to catch up with the two, since he was running while Asuma and Kurenai were walking.

"Auntie Yuhi Kurenai, are you on a date with my Uncle Asuma?"

Yang Lei raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and without blushing or panting, he jokingly teased the two of them.

Back when Asuma graduated from the ninja academy, he expressed his feelings for Kurenai Yuhi. At least Yang Lei could tell that the person Asuma liked at that time was Kurenai Yuhi.

Their time together in the Land of Waves had brought them together earlier, and now not only Yang Lei, but many others have noticed that their relationship seems to have changed significantly.

"Why are you spouting nonsense?"

Asma chuckled sheepishly, which was considered an admission of Yang Lei's so-called dating remarks.

"ah."

Yuhi Kurenai let out a soft cry like a young girl, and said in an annoyed tone, "Little Yang Lei, what are you talking about? I just came out to buy dumplings for Hongdou. After all, she was injured and couldn't leave the hospital."

Seeking flowers...

Although there have been some changes in the previous plot, there are also some things that have remained the same. For example, Orochimaru's disguise was still discovered, and Anko found him again, which resulted in her being injured and almost dying because she could not suppress the cursed seal on her body.

Kurenai Yuhi was asked to buy dango (rice dumplings) when she visited Anko because she had a fairly good relationship with her.

"And you."

After speaking to Yang Lei, Kurenai turned to Asuma, her pretty face slightly flushed, and gave a soft snort, rolling her eyes and scolding, "What were you admitting just now? When did I agree to go on a date with you? And when did we become that kind of relationship?"

"hey-hey."

Asma was speechless and could only smile foolishly in hopes of getting through this ordeal. Yang Lei, standing to the side, couldn't help but shake his head and mutter "idiot" to himself.

... ...

Although it seems that Kurenai Yuhi is scolding him and Asuma, there are still differences between them. If you take into account Kurenai Yuhi's behavior, it can be seen as a girl's modesty.

Another point is that Kurenai's last words seemed more like giving Asuma a chance to confess his feelings.

"Yo."

Just then, a voice from ahead interrupted Yang Lei's internal monologue. The three of them looked up and saw Kakashi leaning against the entrance of the dumpling shop. He raised his hand to greet them and jokingly asked, "Where are you three going?"

"puff."

All three of them nearly coughed up blood, but when they looked at each other again, they did indeed look like a family of three.

"Kakashi, what are you doing?"

The three of them walked over in a few steps. Asuma, Kurenai Yuhi, and Kakashi started chatting, while Yang Lei had already stepped into the dumpling shop.

"It really is Itachi."

As soon as he entered, Yang Lei glanced casually at the two people sitting at the door and immediately recognized them. One of them, wearing an Akatsuki cloak, was Uchiha Itachi, and the other should be his partner Kisame.

"Yang Lei, do you like meatballs too?"

Just then, Kurenai and Asuma walked in from outside the door. They had just asked Yang Lei a question when, before Yang Lei could reply, they saw two people pass by them in a flash and disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Chase!".

0172 Mangekyou Sharingan, Awakened

Actually, nothing was wrong at first. If Itachi and Kisame hadn't run away, no one except Yang Lei would have noticed anything unusual about them. Otherwise, they would have called people over to surround and kill them long ago.

But this was Konoha Village after all, so Itachi dared not be careless. Seeing that a Konoha ninja had entered, he quickly tried to leave before being discovered.

It was their escape that alerted the three Jonin, who, not daring to be negligent, led the chase, with Kakashi in the lead.

Yang Lei didn't sit idle either. He took off his weights as he ran outside and soon arrived at the edge of the village.

He came here on purpose to find Itachi, so how could he let this opportunity slip by? Luckily, he had been to this dumpling shop with Sakura before, which is why he arrived in time. Otherwise, he might have really missed this chance.

As for why he wanted to find Itachi...

The purpose was actually very simple: he wanted to obtain Itachi's Sharingan.

Yang Lei's Sharingan has never been able to evolve into the Mangekyou Sharingan, even when he uses genjutsu on himself.

That's why he set his sights on Itachi, believing that the Eye of the Detective would not disappoint him.

The Eye of Recognition can not only copy the bloodline limit of others, but also, for example, when he obtained the Sharingan, he directly activated the three-tomoe Sharingan instead of the single-tomoe Sharingan. This shows that he can not only obtain the Sharingan, but also develop the same level of Sharingan according to the level of the original Sharingan.

Therefore, Yang Lei believes that he can obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan from Itachi, although it is more likely that he can replicate Itachi's abilities, but that would be enough.

Firstly, Itachi's Sharingan is not weak. He has Tsukuyomi in his left eye, Amaterasu in his right eye, and Susanoo. How can you say it's weak?

Moreover, because he possesses the Sage Physique, he has acquired both the Sage Physique inherited from Ashura by the Uzumaki Clan and the Senju Clan, so he has no need to worry about the Mangekyou Sharingan causing harm to his body.

Then, later on, Sasuke can also unlock the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Chapter 184

Even if Sasuke can no longer awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan due to plot changes, it doesn't matter. There's still Madara Uchiha, and there's still the Rinnegan.

. . . . . .

"They're really hot on their heels."

On the shore of a small lake outside Konoha Village, Itachi and Kisame, who were running ahead, suddenly stopped and turned around with some helplessness. The next second, Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai, and Yang Lei were right in front of them.

Who are you?

Kakashi slowly revealed his left Sharingan, keeping a close eye on Itachi and Kisame's movements, not daring to relax for a moment. He felt pressure from the two of them and guessed that they must be formidable enemies.

"Itachi".

Suddenly, the Oni Shark on the right said with some surprise, "I didn't expect that someone else besides you would have such eyes."

"Weasel?"

Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai were all startled. They had no idea who these two people were from the beginning, because they were not only wearing long trench coats that covered their bodies, but also large straw hats on their heads. It would be a real mystery if they could tell who they were.
