A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

But now, even if these people are not on the opposing side, even if they pose no threat whatsoever, even if they kneel down and beg for mercy, it's too late.

. . . . . .

"Damn it."

Chapter 236

As Yang Lei continued walking forward, he let out a long sigh in the breeze and muttered, "My good mood has been completely ruined. If I could, I would kill them a hundred or eighty times over."

In the woods behind, the group of Sound Ninja were completely mangled; apart from their heads, which remained intact, they could no longer be pieced together to resemble their original forms.

It wasn't just about tearing them to pieces; Yang Lei painstakingly cut off their flesh bit by bit and then ground it into mincemeat. Finally, he put their bodies back together in front of them and said he would wrap them in human flesh buns for them to eat. Half of the people died of fright on the spot, and the other half didn't fare much better; they all bit their tongues and committed suicide.

Even after punishing them like this, Yang Lei was still annoyed. Did he look like a cross-dresser? Damn it, his body was much stronger than the average person due to years of hard training, and his penis was far beyond that of his peers. Now, you could see his impressive size even when he peed in the toilet. It was even better than that of adults. Did he want to sleep with him?

"I'm so angry!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Gritting his teeth, Yang Lei sped up, his eyes almost turning bloodshot. He just wanted to get to Yinyin Village as soon as possible so he could go on a killing spree.

However, although Yang Lei was angry, he did not let his guard down. After all, the person in front of him was Orochimaru, and there was also Kabuto Yakushi lurking beside him. He could not be careless at all when facing these two guys.

So he activated his pupil technique on the way, and although he was rushing at full speed towards the direction he had scouted out, he did not reduce his observation of the surroundings at all.

Finally, before evening, Yang Lei found the location of Yin Yin Village.

Before it was an ordinary valley, it didn't look like a ninja village at all. But Yang Lei was able to use his Byakugan to see the real situation under the valley and discover that the real Otogakure was hidden underground.

"If I were to use an Earth Release technique right now, would it destroy the entire Sound Village?"

Standing here, Yang Lei couldn't help but mutter to himself in a sudden burst of inspiration: hiding underground would be very concealed, but the weakness would also be too great. As long as the enemy knew where he was hiding, just as he had just thought, a large-scale earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic technique) would solve everything.

"That's a bit too far-fetched."

Just then, a man emerged from behind a large rock on the left, adjusted his glasses, and waved to Yang Lei, saying, "It's been a long time, Mr. Yang. Your idea is impossible because the underground is not only stabilized by multiple barriers, but there are also obstacles around it. Even if something goes wrong, there's a way to retreat. You can't possibly capture them all at once."

“Yakushi Kabuto,” Yang Lei looked at the man, shrugged, and said, “I was just saying that casually, don’t take it seriously. Alright, Orochimaru sent you to entertain me, right? Where is he?”

Yang Lei had never concealed his whereabouts, so he wasn't surprised that Kabuto Yakushi appeared in front of him. He assumed that Kabuto was sent by Orochimaru to greet him, which is why he turned around and asked Kabuto about Orochimaru's whereabouts.

"I am sorry."

Kabuto smiled apologetically and said, "Lord Orochimaru is not here, so I took the liberty of coming out to see you. My main hope is that you will be lenient and not take action against Otogakure if possible."

"Not here?"

Yang Lei frowned, looking quite surprised, and asked, "How could he not be here? Are you lying to me? Or do you think I can't kill you?"

In the previous Konoha Collapse Plan, he didn't really seriously injure Orochimaru. Where would Orochimaru go if he wasn't staying in his hideout?

He's really not here.

Kabuto's smile faltered, but he still forced a smile. In response to Yang Lei's questioning, he replied, "It's like this, in our Otogakure village, there is a genius named Kaguya Kimimaro. He is young but highly skilled, and with his bloodline limit, he has even surpassed me. And I have abilities that are similar to Kakashi's."

"It's just a pity that Kimimaro's body is tormented by a very strong illness. In order to cure him, Lord Orochimaru has already taken him out of the village to find Tsunade, who is also one of the Legendary Sannin. So, I really didn't lie to you."

After hearing Kabuto's explanation, Yang Lei couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. Although he had indeed changed the plot, he never expected that Orochimaru would still go to find Tsunade.

To be honest, that guy wasn't trying to save Kimimaro; he just wanted to find an ideal body for himself.

Since Sasuke refused his invitation, he could only try to persuade Kimimaro again. Otherwise, he couldn't just let him pick anyone from Otogakure, could he?

"That's right."

Yang Lei finally dropped his aggressive attitude and asked again, "Besides Orochimaru and Kimimaro, who else did he take with him?"

He breathed a sigh of relief and, with an expression that said he would answer anything, said, "Well, besides the Sound Four you met, there's Guren, who possesses the Crystal Release Kekkei Genkai; Hozuki Suigetsu, originally from a major clan in Kirigakure; Karin, a sensory ninja who is a descendant of the Uzumaki clan; and Jugo."

"Oops."

Yang Lei let out a startled cry and quickly formed hand seals, unleashing the Flying Thunder God Technique.

0218 The Standoff in Tanabata Street

Orochimaru is difficult to deal with on his own, and if you add the people he brought with him, even Jiraiya, who only brought Naruto, would probably not be a match for them, especially since Tsunade's stance is unclear and Shizune is not up to the task.

That's why Yang Lei let out a terrible exclamation. Naruto was his friend, and Tsunade had already been designated as the fifth generation head of the village. Whether he wanted to save his friend or do a favor for the soon-to-be-appointed fifth generation head, he had to make a trip to Tanabata Street.

Fortunately, Tansaku Town isn't far away. Now, Yang Lei only hopes that Naruto still has the special kunai he gave him in the Land of Waves.

Previously in the Land of Waves, Yang Lei had volunteered to cover the rear, entrusting the task to different people in order to have more options for retreat.

Later, when he led the Eighth Squad, who had come to provide support, to join forces with Sakura, he accidentally touched Sakura's right atrium. In order to avoid Hinata noticing and to reduce some embarrassment, he deliberately forgot that he was looking for Sakura's kunai. He even generously said that he would consider it a gift, and that it might be useful in the future, and that he might even be able to save their lives.

That's why he used the Flying Thunder God Technique after hearing Kabuto's words.

. . . . . .

Tanzaku-cho 107 is a small town near the Land of Fire, bordering the Land of Hot Springs.

At this moment, on a low hill outside a town near the direction of the Land of Fields, two groups of people were facing off.

"Damn Orochimaru, I never thought you'd be such a persistent ghost."

Naruto, standing behind Jiraiya, didn't care how tense the atmosphere was. Pointing at Orochimaru in the center of the opposing team, he jumped up and down, yelling, "You attacked the Third Hokage during the Chunin Exams, and now you're going to attack our substitute, the Fifth Hokage! You deserve to die!"

"A substitute?"

Standing to Jiraiya's right was a young and beautiful woman with lovely features, and her hot and voluptuous figure was particularly eye-catching.

This stunning beauty is Tsunade. Because she knows a secret technique, she can maintain her youthful appearance. Although she is over fifty years old, she looks like a woman in her twenties.

Naruto.

At this moment, Tsunade shifted her gaze from Orochimaru, gave Naruto a rather dangerous smile, and asked, "Fifth Hokage is Fifth Hokage, why add the word 'replacement'?"

The plot between Naruto and Tsunade didn't change much; it's just that Naruto's strength shocked Tsunade more.

Chapter 237

The difference from the original story is that Orochimaru's hands were not crippled, and especially since the people he brought were all elites, even she dared not come alone to accept the appointment. Therefore, to be on the safe side, she did not drug Jiraiya as in the original story. Instead, she temporarily agreed to the Fifth Hokage's request, and also asked Jiraiya and the others to come with her to see what Orochimaru's promise was all about.

Orochimaru has made contact with Tsunade and promised that if Tsunade can cure Kimimaro, he can revive the two people she loves and values ​​most.

Because Sasuke's seduction plan failed, Orochimaru could only place his hopes on Kimimaro. If he encountered a more suitable bloodline limit in the future that suited him better, he could change bodies again at any time.

"Tsunade, your attitude really disappoints me."

Across from him, Orochimaru didn't even glance at Naruto, shifting his gaze from Jiraiya, and sneered, "So, you don't want to bring back the two people you love most?"

"So that's how it is."

Jiraiya finally understood why Tsunade wanted to meet with Orochimaru. He looked at Tsunade and pressed her for help, "He's using the Impure World Reincarnation technique as a condition to ask you for something, right, Tsunade?"

"what."

Now that things have come to this, Tsunade no longer needs to hide anything. She nodded, raised her hand, and pointed to the white-haired man being carried on Jirobo's back, saying, "Orochimaru wants me to heal him. In exchange, he will use Edo Tensei to allow me to see Dan and Rope Tree one more time."

"Have you gone mad?"

Jiraiya suddenly roared, perhaps for the first time since becoming an adult, as he spoke to Tsunade in such a manner, shouting, "The Edo Tensei is a forbidden technique developed by your second grandfather, Tobirama-sama. Don't you know what its effects are? It's not resurrection at all, but a forbidden technique that insults the dead!"

"Or are you saying that you don't care even if you lose yourself, like Rope Tree and Broken Tree?"

Tsunade lowered her head, her voice tinged with melancholy as she murmured, "I just want to see them one more time. Is that too much to ask?"

"Of course not."

Orochimaru's eyes lit up. It seemed he wasn't out of luck after all. He quickly interjected with a joke, "As long as I don't use techniques to control their will, they are the true Rope Tree and the Broken Tree."

"Damn Orochimaru."

Even Jiraiya cursed this time, knowing he couldn't let Tsunade continue to bewitch him, otherwise Tsunade's thoughts would be unpredictable. He quickly formed hand seals and shouted, "Enough nonsense, let's fight. Summoning Jutsu."

"Boom."

A huge plume of white smoke slowly dissipated, and Gamabunta's figure suddenly appeared. Jiraiya dared not be arrogant in front of a powerful enemy. Even though Gamabunta was a problem child, his strength was still undeniable.

"Oh?"

Orochimaru snorted coldly, and his hands also began to form hand seals. A moment later, he slammed his hand on the ground and summoned Manda.

Manda, who was a problem child just like Gamabunta, started yelling at Orochimaru as soon as he appeared. Especially since it was his old nemesis Gamabunta in front of him, he knew that his opponent was difficult to deal with and couldn't help but roar: "Orochimaru, when you go back this time, you will at least make up for it with a hundred sacrifices, otherwise don't expect me to help you."

"no problem."

Orochimaru smiled easily. Although the Land of Rice Fields was a small country, it wouldn't be a problem for just a hundred people.

"Tsunade?"

Jiraiya and Orochimaru were both ready for battle, but Tsunade's thoughts were unclear. The two of them turned to look at her, hoping to get a definite answer to decide on their battle plan and escape route.

As fellow members of the Legendary Sannin, and childhood friends who had fought side-by-side for years, neither Jiraiya nor Orochimaru were confident of defeating their opponent, nor could they guarantee victory, even with superior numbers and strength.

However, if Tsunade makes a choice, whether she helps Jiraiya or Orochimaru, it will become a factor that can determine the outcome of the battle. Therefore, they want to know her intentions before starting the fight, so that they can prepare for a retreat in advance.

Now that things have come to this, Jiraiya is actually somewhat disappointed with Tsunade, and he has even prepared to retreat. This proves that Tsunade is likely to choose Orochimaru. In that case, the Fifth Hokage of the village will definitely not choose Tsunade again. With no other choice, he has to take on the important task.

Anyone could collect information about Akatsuki, but only he, as the Fifth Hokage, could provide some care for Orochimaru and Tsunade. Only with his appointment could the Third Hokage's ideas and political policies be upheld to the greatest extent possible.

At least for now, besides Tsunade, he is the most suitable choice for the Fifth Hokage.

"Tsunade, please don't make the wrong decision!"

0219 Yang Lei arrived, the corpse's bones and veins

"cut."

With a soft groan clenched between her teeth, Tsunade, who was being watched by Orochimaru and Jiraiya, finally made her choice.

"If I choose to help the enemy just to see them, I'll probably be scolded to death by the Severing Rope Tree, right? Rather than that, I'd rather help them protect their dreams, become the Fifth Generation to protect the village, and have something to brag about when I go to the other world after I die."

Tsunade's words relieved Jiraiya, but the sight of her jumping down made his heart leap into his throat again.

Tsunade is not one to go back on her word. She didn't jump off Gamabunta's head to join Orochimaru, but rather to make the fight easier.

"The art of spirit communication".

Tsunade began forming hand seals while still in the air. As soon as she landed, she slammed her hand on the ground with a 'thud,' and a giant slug appeared accompanied by a huge cloud of white mist, forming a three-way standoff with the equally enormous Manda and Gamabunta.

"It's truly heartbreaking that the long-awaited gathering of the Three Ninja has turned into a major battle."

Orochimaru grinned menacingly. He had tried every possible method to save Kimimaro, but there was no sign of improvement. He had truly run out of options, which was why he sought out Tsunade.

Now that Tsunade has rejected his request, it means that Kimimaro's bloodline limit, which he values ​​highly, may be coming to an end. The anger and despair in his heart are truly indescribable.

“Kill.”

Orochimaru was truly enraged. His last glimmer of hope had been extinguished, and he roared as he launched the first attack.

“Kill.”

Behind Orochimaru, the terminally ill Kimimaro was placed there. The Sound Ninja elites who had been brought over all rushed out. They couldn't directly engage the Sannin on the battlefield, so they could only provide assistance from the side.

Therefore, they set their sights on Naruto and Shizune, intending to take them out first and then restrain Jiraiya and Tsunade from behind.

"Flying Thunder God Technique".

Just then, Yang Lei finally appeared, using the special kunai that Naruto happened to have with him as a coordinate, and with a 'whoosh' he appeared above Gamabunta's head, right behind Jiraiya.

Chapter 238

"Ok?"

Jiraiya was startled. He knew that Yang Lei had been wanted as an S-rank rogue ninja. He thought to himself that since this kid could reach the level of Orochimaru and Itachi, his strength should not be underestimated. Just as he was about to turn around to guard against him...

Orochimaru.

Before arriving here, Yang Lei had already prepared himself to be dealt with by Jiraiya. As soon as he appeared, he didn't have time to talk to Naruto for long and shouted at the other side, "Do you still have the evidence of your collusion with Danzo?"

"what?"

Jiraiya paused, and Tsunade looked over as well. At this moment, only the Sound Ninja were still moving quickly, finally circling around to Gamabunta's rear from the side, just waiting for an opportunity to attack.

"Evidence of collusion with Danzo?"

Orochimaru smiled knowingly and said, "You're trying to smear Danzo to clear your name, aren't you? But it doesn't matter, Danzo was evil to begin with, this is a good way to do it."

"But why should I help you?"

Faced with Orochimaru's question, Yang Lei did not answer. He raised his hand as if to take something out of his ninja tool pouch behind him, but actually took out a scroll from his personal space and threw it to the wary Jiraiya, saying, "I am not the enemy. Killing Danzo was his own doing."

After saying that, Yang Lei suddenly disappeared from where he was and instantly appeared on Wan She's head.

"I don't need your help."

Yang Lei punched Orochimaru in the lower back and shouted, "Have you forgotten how I defeated you before? Are you looking for death, you bastard?"

"Whoosh."
