A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

Recalling Asma's instructions, Yang Lei opened the large bag in his hand, took out kunai and a sword, and put them into his ninja tool pouch. Then, with a wave of his hand, he somehow managed to make the large bag disappear into thin air.

What's going on?

It turns out that Yang Lei didn't do anything earth-shattering; he simply summoned the personal space attached to the Infinite System with a thought and stuffed the big bag into it.

Personal space is an ability that Yang Lei already knew about when he checked the functions of the Infinite System. At that time, because he was weak and light, his surrounding attributes were too pitiful, making his personal space very small. In addition, he didn't have much to store, so he never let it appear.

The size of the personal space is directly linked to the host's four surrounding attributes. The area of ​​capacity increases according to the number of attribute points. Each attribute point increases the area by one square meter. In other words, Yang Lei's current four surrounding attributes give his personal space a capacity of nearly three thousand square meters.

Just like the infinite system, the personal space cannot be discovered by anyone except Yang Lei. It is as if the personal space and the infinite system do not belong to this world, so people in this world cannot see them.

In this way, the things Yang Lei put in his personal space will be completely safe, and no one else will know where this space is except for him.

Moreover, the personal space is incredibly convenient. Yang Lei can summon it with a single thought, and it will appear anywhere around him according to his wishes. In this respect, it seems even more convenient than the ninja tool bag.

However, Yang Lei was used to being cautious and believed that only things unknown to others were considered trump cards, while things that were known to everyone were considered open cards.

That's why he never used his personal space, not even putting the two lead-iron dumbbells in the back mountain, which also kept the Third Hokage unaware that this guy actually knew about 'spatial power'.

"All right."

After carefully putting away the kunai and sword from the large bag, Yang Lei turned around and finally opened the large box.

Sure enough, the large box contained the special shuriken he had seen that morning; a rough estimate suggested there were at least five hundred of them.

"No wonder the boss was so agreeable when it came to the Kusanagi Sword."

Yang Lei raised an eyebrow and suddenly complained, "So it turns out Uncle Asma has spent a lot of money on this."

As mentioned before, special kunai are much more expensive than regular kunai. If even regular kunai are that expensive, you can imagine how much of Asma's savings this box of special kunai must have cost him.

At this point, Yang Lei meant that Asma had already spent a lot of money, which made the boss bleed money and sell the divine weapon he had acquired in a daze at the original price. This would both maintain his long-standing friendship with Yang Lei and make good on the son of the third generation, achieving several goals at once.

"Well, let's not dwell on it anymore."

Yang Lei didn't intend to dwell on it any longer. He took out a specially made kunai from the large box and said, "Let's get to work. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can get some sleep."

0049 Class Assignment Explanation Meeting!

Just because Yang Lei obtained a specially made kunai doesn't mean he can immediately use it to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Just like the Fourth Hokage, one must first leave the incantation runes of the Flying Thunder God Technique on these specially made kunai before using the specially made kunai as a medium to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique.

At this time, what Yang Lei meant by "doing the work" was to carve the seal on the specially made kunai. Fortunately, he didn't have to actually carve words on it; he could leave a spell mark simply by forming a hand seal.

Even so, this task is not easy, because there are exactly five hundred specially made kunai in this big box. In other words, Yang Lei has to perform five hundred hand seals. Even though the hand seals for the Flying Thunder God Technique are not complicated, it is still a waste of time.

Not only time, but also chakra consumption is considerable. When Yang Lei was completing the engraving of four hundred specially made kunai, he had to take a break for more than an hour to refine his chakra again before he could continue engraving.

This is only because the chakra required for the inscription is not much. If he were to use the Flying Thunder God Technique five hundred times in a row, even if he has plenty of chakra now, it would probably take him at least ten days to half a month to finish.

"It's finally finished."

Finally, around 9 p.m., the work that had lasted for two or three hours was finally completed.

"Three tools are enough to put in the ninja tool pouch."

Because the special kunai were larger than the regular ones, Yang Lei could only put three into his ninja tool bag. With a wave of his hand, he packed the pile of special kunai on the ground and the large box into his personal space. Too lazy to go out for dinner, he lay back on the bed and prepared to go to sleep.

. . . . . .

The next morning, Yang Lei woke up according to his biological clock. He tried to jump up as usual, but he couldn't move because his body was too heavy. He then remembered that he hadn't taken off his new weighted gear the night before, and the weight on his body was quite heavy.

Yang Lei had already made a decision yesterday to keep wearing the weights so that he could train at all times. Fortunately, the newly replaced weights were quite lightweight, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"call."

With a light breath, Yang Lei stood up normally, picked up the Kusanagi sword from the bedside table, tucked it into his belt, walked to the bathroom, quickly washed up, and left home to begin his morning exercise.

Because he had to go to the Ninja Academy for a press conference and then be assigned to a class, Yang Lei didn't go to the back mountain for training. He just went for a morning run and then stopped. He bought breakfast and came to the school, where he ate alone in an empty classroom.

"Noisy and boisterous."

As time slowly passed, the graduates returned to school once again, walking into the classrooms in twos and threes, chatting about happy topics, completely unaware that they were just there as a backdrop, and even more so as a tragedy, as everyone except the ten already reserved spots would have to leave disappointed.

"Yang Lei".

Just then, with a cheer, Naruto, who had just entered, jogged over to Yang Lei's chair and greeted him with a smile, "When did you get here?"

Because of what happened the night before, Naruto regained his friendship with Yang Lei. He finally realized that besides Iruka, there was another person in Konoha who recognized him, and was the first to recognize him.

"Ok?"

Yang Lei lazily raised his head and snorted irritably, "Honestly, can't you see I'm dozing off?"

It turned out that after finishing breakfast, Yang Lei noticed that no one had come, so he simply lay down on the table and pretended to doze off. After all, it was the first time he had slept with weights on last night, so it must have been uncomfortable, and he was still a bit tired.

As a result, Naruto saw someone in his seat who looked a lot like Yang Lei, so he ran over and made a fuss, waking him up.

Chapter 51

"hey-hey."

Naruto chuckled and, seeing that Sakura did indeed look sleepy, decided not to bother her any longer. He turned and walked to the back, not returning to his original seat, but shamelessly squeezing next to Sakura.

"What an idiot."

Yang Lei muttered something, both amused and annoyed. He glanced around and, seeing that Hinata hadn't arrived yet, buried his head back down, pondering his cultivation path.

His training in the past few years has focused on physical conditioning, but it can't be so simple anymore; he needs to add some training related to actual combat.

For example, because of his wandering and wandering, he would definitely have the idea of ​​practicing swordsmanship, after all, swordsmanship is quite cool, much more visually appealing than fighting with kunai.

Furthermore, he has always been very self-aware. Even though his physical abilities have improved by leaps and bounds in recent years, if we only compare physical abilities, he is probably stronger than most ordinary Jonin.

Even so, he dared not say that he had the strength of a Jonin, and he dared not say that he would definitely win even if he faced an elite Chunin. He also knew that an elite Chunin who was proficient in assassination techniques could definitely kill him.

That's why when Danzo summoned him, he didn't dare to leave easily even though he had already prepared an escape route using the Flying Thunder God Technique. He was afraid that Danzo would splash dirty water on him and turn him into a rogue ninja, and he would definitely be captured and brought back.

Strength is strength, and qualifications are qualifications.

Physical fitness is a qualification. Yang Lei now has the qualifications to become a Chunin or even a Jonin, but he does not yet have the strength. He still needs a lot of training to gain this strength and even experience. Otherwise, even if he has the qualifications, he will never reach the level of a Chunin or Jonin.

"I'll try channeling again when I get back. Hopefully, I can channel a monkey that can help me with my practical training."

Yang Lei was making plans in his mind.

The pilgrim he summoned before was too small and couldn't help him at all. If he couldn't summon a powerful monkey, he would have to give up on this plan.

Fortunately, he wasn't completely at a loss. Don't forget he still had the Shadow Clone Technique, a powerful ninjutsu that he could use to train.

"ah."

Just as Yang Lei had finished thinking about his cultivation plans, a sudden exclamation came from behind. Yang Lei subconsciously turned around and saw a classic scene from the original work finally unfolding as scheduled.

Naruto.

Seeing Sasuke's first time being taken away by Naruto right in front of her, Sakura, who was standing nearby, suddenly exuded a fierce aura, and her eyes were filled with anger.

"Crench."

Just then, Iruka rushed in and saved Naruto's life.

"Fellow genin."

Iruka didn't waste any time. He briefly explained the philosophy behind the genin squad and the proposed class assignments before officially starting the assignment process.

"what?"

Because the people before him had all had tragic stories, Yang Lei didn't listen carefully. What concerned him more was why Hinata hadn't arrived yet.

What Yang Lei didn't know, or rather, what he didn't understand, was that Hinata was the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan's main family, the eldest daughter of the clan head. It wasn't something she could just join as a genin squad. After all, once she became a ninja, she would inevitably receive missions to leave the village.

Leaving the village means entering the unknown, and there may be dangers that could befall Hinata; these are all unpredictable.

In other words, it doesn't matter whether Hinata comes or not unless Hiashi Hyuga agrees, because even if she is assigned to a class, she will have to go home obediently as long as Hiashi Hyuga says a word.

Right now, Konoha Jonin Kurenai Yuhi is visiting the Hyuga clan, and her purpose is none other than to discuss Hinata's impending role as her subordinate.

0050 The Sad Hinata

At this moment, in the courtyard where the head of the Hyuga family resides, a guest is being received in the reception room.

"I apologize for the intrusion."

Kurenai nodded to Hiashi Hyuga and said, "I won't waste time and will get straight to the point. The higher-ups have arranged for your daughter to join my subordinate squad, but is this really a good idea? She'll probably inherit the Hyuga main family in the future, right?"

"Whatever."

Hiashi Hyuga frowned slightly before saying in a calm tone, "Our Hyuga clan doesn't need trash like her."

As he spoke, Hiashi Hyuga turned around and said to a child who was panting not far away, "Hanabi, continue with your homework."

"Hey."

Kurenai frowned, her voice unconsciously rising slightly as she reminded him, "You must understand that becoming a genin means you could be killed at any moment during a mission."

"I know."

Hiashi Hyuga was well aware of these things. Among the ninja profession, the highest mortality rate was among genin, followed by chunin. Jonin and the kage of each ninja village rarely sacrificed themselves.

One reason is the immense strength of the top figures, and the other is their high status; they will never be the first to charge into battle until the very end. Genin and Chunin, on the other hand, are the first to charge into battle.

But so what?

Hiashi Hyuga pointed at the child named Hanabi and said, "Her strength is not as good as this child who is five years younger than her. She has no need to exist for the Hyuga clan. If she is sacrificed, it will be a contribution to the village."

"Well."

Outside the door, a small figure with her head bowed was none other than Hinata, whom Yang Lei had been worried about. She bit her lip tightly to keep herself from making a sound, but the glistening tears in her eyes rolled down uncontrollably, pattering onto the floor in front of her feet, finally alerting the adults inside the house to something amiss.

"Ugh."

Kurenai sighed softly to herself, nodded, and said, "I understand. Since you agree, I'll be going now."

As she spoke, Kurenai turned around and came out of the house. When she turned her head, she saw Hinata standing there. The little girl was crying very sadly. Her heart softened and she felt sorry for her. She walked over, took Hinata's little hand, and said, "Come with me to the Ninja Academy first. The briefing should have already started, right? If we go now, we should be able to make it in time for class assignment."

"Ah."

Hinata sniffed, forced a smile, nodded, and obediently followed Kurenai Yuhi out of the Hyuga family compound, leaving the Hyuga family's residence and heading towards the Ninja Academy.

Chapter 52

Kurenai Yuhi, being a Jonin, was certainly fast, and with a few Body Flicker Techniques, she arrived at the Ninja Academy with Hinata.

"Go inside."

Kurenai Yuhi gently patted Hinata's head and opened the classroom door to let her in.

At that moment, Iruka had just finished reading about the class assignments for the supporting characters.

"Go and sit down, it'll be your turn soon."

Iruka didn't say anything about Hinata's lateness. Firstly, he saw that it was the Jonin Kurenai Yuhi who brought Hinata. Secondly, the Hyuga clan's affairs were not his business. Besides, Hinata had already graduated and was no longer his student. This was just a minor class assignment explanation meeting, so why bother with such formalities?

Hinata.

Just then, Yang Lei stood up with a frown, waved to Hinata without regard for those around him, and called out, "Come over here."

Although Yang Lei hadn't activated any pupil techniques, he could easily see the tear tracks on Hinata's face, and his heart tightened involuntarily, so he couldn't care less about anything else.

Besides, he has grown up now and no longer needs to worry about the Hyuga clan causing him trouble.

Hinata hesitated for a moment, seeing Yang Lei standing there with an attitude of "I won't sit down until you come over," and then looking at Iruka's troubled expression, he gritted his teeth, made a decision, lowered his head, jogged over to Yang Lei's side, and sat down once again in the same seat he had sat in five years ago.

"What's up?"

Yang Lei naturally took Hinata's small hand in his and asked in a concerned whisper, "Did someone bully you? Tell me who it is, and I'll help you get revenge."

At this moment, Yang Lei no longer cared what Iruka was saying. His eyes were only on Hinata. The tear tracks on her face were so heartbreaking for him. He was so angry that he wanted to drag the culprit out and shoot him for five minutes to vent his anger.

"no."

Hinata lowered her head and whispered, "No," but it was unclear whether she meant that no one was bullying her or that she didn't know who it was.

“Hinata,” Yang Lei moved closer to Hinata, pressing his forehead against hers so she could only look him in the eye, and said firmly, “Don’t forget my promise: ‘Whether you are right or wrong, I will not allow anyone to bully you.’”

"Yang Jun".

Hinata's tears, which she had just stopped, started rolling down her cheeks again. Ignoring everyone around her, she buried her head in Yang Lei's arms and cried silently.

She was only twelve years old. As the eldest daughter of the head of the clan, she always carried a heavy burden. However, she was not naturally gifted and often failed to complete her schoolwork from a young age.

Especially after she gained a younger sister who was five years younger than her, her situation became even worse, because her sister Hanabi's talent far surpassed hers. Many homework assignments that she couldn't complete even with her best efforts were so easy for Hanabi.

As a result, she became even more pathetic in comparison to others. Even her father, after repeated disappointments, finally gave up on her. How could he not be heartbroken?

At this moment, she finally found a warm harbor. She was not without a safe haven; there were still people who cared about her. The sadness in her heart poured out like a flood.
