A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

One by one, samurai and ronin surrounded Yang Lei, brandishing their weapons and slashing at him.

"Is this the taste of blood?"

Yang Lei seemed oblivious to the attacks around him, raising his hand to put a drop of blood brought back by the Kusanagi sword into his mouth and taste it.

"It smells bad."

Frowning, Yang Lei muttered a complaint.

"go to hell."

At this moment, the attacks from all sides were already upon him.

"Earth Escape."

Yang Lei calmly and slowly formed hand seals, and then softly shouted, "Earth Array Wall."

"Shh."

With a soft sound, a thin, paper-thin earthen wall suddenly rose up, slicing those who happened to be nearby in two.

"Is this an earthen wall?"

Worried about Yang Lei's safety, Asma was the first to rush over. He was stunned when he saw Yang Lei's earthen wall. This was the first time he had ever seen someone make the earthen wall of the 5.5 formation so thin, and it was as sharp as a blade.

Originally, Yang Lei wouldn't have been able to make the earthen array wall reach this level, because it was, after all, an earth-based escape technique, not an iron-based one. It would definitely break if it were so thin, and even if he could create it, it would be meaningless.

However, because he suddenly gained the power of Yin and Yang, he had a sudden thought to give it a try, and unexpectedly, he succeeded.

The Yang-attribute chakra not only made Tobirama Senju's Water Release as powerful as a bloodline limit, but also increased the power of Yang Lei's Earth Release.

For example, this earthen wall, if it were before, would have broken when it touched someone else because it was too thin.

But now, those people have been cut in half, because the earthen walls are now thin and incredibly strong.

Chapter 74

"I'm about to go on a killing spree!"

0070 and Zai Buzan clash

"I'm about to go on a killing spree."

Yang Lei looked at the countless enemies, perhaps hundreds, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. He had been slightly nervous at first because of the impending bloodshed, but now he was completely calm.

"Shhhhh."

His hands moved with incredible speed, forming hand seals as he shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough Technique!"

Yang Lei doesn't know many ordinary ninjutsu. He learned the Great Fireball Technique from Asuma and the Great Breakthrough Technique from his battle with Sarutobi. Now, he put these skills to good use and released them together, forming a combination ninjutsu that shot forward.

This was truly a case of fire fueled by the wind, and the fireball grew larger and faster, burning countless people along the way. In any case, it carved a wide passage through the enemy ranks, reducing their manpower by a full quarter.

"Tch, what a troublesome brat."

It's unclear where Zai Buzhan saw Yang Lei's methods, but he narrowed his eyes and realized how formidable Yang Lei was. He also knew that the mob was a real nuisance, not even a chance to hold them back, and would eventually be wiped out.

"In that case..."

Zabuza snorted coldly, brandishing his greatsword and exchanging a full-force blow with Kakashi. Taking advantage of the moment when the two retreated, he quickly formed hand seals and shouted, "Mist Concealment Technique!"

As Zabuza used his ninjutsu, wisps of mist suddenly appeared in the air, and they seemed to be gradually thickening.

"Oops."

Kakashi exclaimed in surprise and turned around to see that apart from Yang Lei and Asuma who had rushed out of the battle, the other genin were surrounding Tazna. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to be careless. Before the fog thickened, he rushed back to the genin and called out to Asuma and Yang Lei.

"It's nothing but child's play."

Yang Lei easily found Zai Buzan with an eye roll and said to Asma, "Uncle Asma, you don't need to worry about me. I'm going to go and meet Zai Buzan."

"Don't act impulsively."

Asma dared not let him act recklessly, so she grabbed Yang Lei's clothes to stop him from making a scene.

"rest assured."

Yang Lei was not arrogant. He raised his hand and patted Asma's clothes, saying, "Don't forget that I know the Flying Thunder God Technique. If you can't beat me, you can still escape."

Upon hearing this, Asuma looked at his clothes and saw that a rune had indeed appeared. He then released his grip, but did not forget to remind him, "Be careful. Zai Buzan is the kind of guy who managed to escape from Kirigakure after failing to assassinate the Mizukage."

"I see."

Yang Lei nodded, picked up the Kusanagi sword, and rushed into the thick fog, wanting to find Buzan again to test the extent of his current strength.

Logically speaking, his aptitude was already sufficient for the Jonin level; all he lacked was experience. However, with the help of his awakened eye technique, he refused to believe that his performance on the spot would be defeated by that so-called experience.

"What a reckless brat."

It's unclear how Zai Buzan, who doesn't possess any eye techniques, discovered Yang Lei. He let out a cold laugh and said, "Heart, liver, spleen, stomach, lungs—which target should I kill?"

"Playing tricks and deception."

Yang Lei sneered and handed the Kusanagi sword to his left hand. With his right hand, he pulled out five specially made kunai from behind him and threw them forward.

"Humph."

When Zai Buzan noticed the specially made kunai flying towards him, he chuckled lightly and didn't take it seriously. Just as he was about to draw his sword and charge at Yang Lei to launch an attack, a sense of vigilance suddenly arose in his heart, and he subconsciously turned his body to the side.

"Ding-dong".

Five specially made kunai collided with each other in mid-air. One of the kunai changed direction and sped up to stab Zabuza. If it weren't for his sixth sense making a strong impression, he would probably have died from this seemingly insignificant move.

"Such a powerful kunai throwing technique."

Zai Buzan let out a soft sigh of praise, which was a way of acknowledging Yang Lei's strength.

Not only Zabuza, but Kakashi, who had been watching closely, couldn't help but utter a sound of admiration, which surprised the others.

Of all the people present, besides Yang Lei, only Kakashi possessed Sharingan. Although Sharingan cannot completely obscure fog, it can still allow one to see things, making it far superior to that of ordinary people.

As for Sasuke, he had actually awakened his Sharingan during the night of the Uchiha massacre, but for some reason, he did not activate it at that time and rarely used it, so that Naruto and Sakura, who were also in Team 7, were unaware of its existence.

Perhaps it's because the Sharingan consumes too much chakra? Or perhaps Sasuke was too traumatized that night, resulting in temporary amnesia, causing him to forget that he had awakened his Sharingan.

Of course, there is another speculation, which is that the author's original intention was to keep Sasuke from opening his Sharingan, but a loophole appeared in the setting later.

Anyway, at this point, only Kakashi could see Yang Lei and Zabuza fighting; everyone else could only hear the sounds. As for those rabble, the enemy was too powerful; they had long since lost Konoha and were fighting amongst themselves, dying a miserable death.

However, do you all remember the guys dressed as ninjas mentioned in the previous chapter? They were hiding nearby, looking for an opportunity to strike and kill, but they were also hindered by the thick fog and hadn't made a move yet.

"It's not just his kunai throwing technique that's strong."

Hearing Zai Budan's praise, Yang Lei chuckled and kindly reminded him by making a hand seal with his right hand: "It's coming."

180

Before Zai Buzhan could even understand what he meant, Yang Lei appeared in front of him.

“Slay.”

Yang Lei didn't have any advanced swordsmanship; he only knew the most basic knife skills, which was slashing. At this moment, he shouted and drew his knife with his left hand, slashing forward.

"Ding."

Chapter 75

Even if he didn't kill him now, he still managed to raise his decapitation sword and block Yang Lei's attack in such a hasty manner.

"What great strength."

He managed to block Yang Lei's slash, but he couldn't withstand the immense force carried by the blade. Zai Bu Zhan let out a cry of surprise as he was sent flying by Yang Lei's blow.

"Snapped."

Yang Lei didn't rush to pursue. He pulled out the specially made kunai that Zai Buzan had dodged earlier and was now stuck in the ground, and threw it forward to chase after Zai Buzan.

"Don't underestimate me."

He was furious when he realized that Yang Lei thought that this kunai was enough to kill him while he was in mid-air.

"rest assured."

Yang Lei smiled, quickly forming a hand seal with his right hand in preparation, and said, "I certainly won't be careless."

As soon as he finished speaking and completed the hand seals, Yang Lei used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reappear in front of Zai Buzan, raising his sword to stab forward.

"Pfft!"

0071 and Zabuza achieve their first victory.

"Pfft."

Without warning, Yang Lei suddenly appeared in front of Zai Buzan, raised his knife and thrust it forward, piercing Zai Buzan's heart with a 'thud'. Could it be that a Jonin was about to be killed so easily by a twelve-year-old child?

Although Yang Lei is no ordinary child—not to mention that he is the protagonist of this book and has a protagonist's halo, his more than six years of hard training have made him countless times stronger than his peers. Even now, he is not at a disadvantage when facing Zabuza, who is a Jonin—he is still a child after all. This scene still looks quite frightening; at least Kakashi showed an incredulous expression.

“Waaah.”

But the next second, Zabuza, who had been pierced by the Kusanagi Sword, turned into a puddle of water.

"It's a water clone."

Kakashi and Yang Lei both recognized the technique, but what puzzled them was when Zabuza formed the hand seals to create the water clone.

"No."

Because Yang Lei was present on the battlefield, he saw more than Kakashi and pointed out, "It wasn't just a water clone; they also used the Substitution Jutsu."

"Smart."

Zabuza slowly emerged from the nearby woods, no longer daring to underestimate Yang Lei. He said in a gloomy voice, "This was my preparation when I fought Kakashi. I never expected that it would end up being used as a medium for the Substitution Jutsu in order to avoid your fatal blow."

777

It turns out that the one fighting Yang Lei earlier was indeed Zabuza's true form, but at the last moment he used the Substitute Technique to switch to his water clone and escape the attack.

As for when this water clone was created, that's a question for Kakashi. Whether he knows or not, Yang Lei certainly doesn't. Don't forget, Yang Lei was just dealing with that bunch of crows...

"Just as I thought."

Yang Lei nodded, saying that he hadn't misread it. Although Zai Bu Zhan had only made one hand seal before, he could still tell that it was the hand seal for the Substitute Technique.

Furthermore, not only did he have the Byakugan and Sharingan activated, but his Eye of Revelation was also constantly at work, so how could he not see Zabuza's methods?

The Eye of Seeing the Ancient is different from other pupil techniques. Since Yang Lei obtained this bloodline, it has been perfectly integrated with him. In other words, he no longer needs to open his eyes; he already has the Eye of Seeing the Ancient in normal times.

Moreover, because this is a passive skill, no matter what eye technique Yang Lei activates, the effect of the Eye of Insight will always be effective and will not be rejected by other eye techniques.

It was because of this that he was able to obtain the Nine-Tails' chakra characteristics and Naruto's Sage Mode when he activated his Byakugan.

"Alright, you brat, now I'm going to get serious."

Zai Buzan roared and swung his decapitation sword at Yang Lei. Judging from Zai Buzan's momentum and the size of the sword, it seemed as if he wanted to cleave Yang Lei in two.

"Tsk tsk, what a clueless idiot who doesn't pay attention to details."

Yang Lei remained unfazed. As he raised his hand to parry with his sword, he didn't forget to utter a sarcastic remark. As for why he said that, the answer will soon be revealed.

"Clang." "Click."

When the decapitation sword clashed with the Kusanagi sword, there was a metallic clang one second, but the next second, the decapitation sword broke in two.

"what?"

Zai Buzhuan stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous that his decapitating sword had been severed.

"Just kidding."

Yang Lei raised his hand and threw the fallen half of the decapitation sword behind him, landing it at Kakashi's feet. He originally intended to throw it into his personal space, but then he thought that Kakashi was watching closely, so he decided to avoid trouble.

"The decapitation sword is not some high-level divine weapon."

Faced with the astonished Zai Buzan, Yang Lei showed off his three-inch-three-foot-long straight sword and said, "My weapon is the legendary Kusanagi sword. It's already quite sturdy that it could withstand one blow from me. To dare to try again is truly audacious."

Yang Lei's words are both right and wrong.

First of all, the decapitation sword is a rare and excellent sword, but it is so fragile because the material it is made of is not designed to be hard, but rather to absorb the blood of others to repair the damage to the blade.

However, even though the decapitation sword is broken now, it can quickly return to its original form once it absorbs enough blood, unlike what Yang Lei described.

Furthermore, it wasn't because he deliberately slashed twice in the same spot, otherwise the decapitation sword wouldn't have broken so easily.

Especially in their first clash, because he didn't know the difference between himself and Zai Buzan, he used all his strength, nearly six tons of force, which bombarded Zai Buzan and the Greatsword of the Head-Slaying Blade. How could he possibly withstand that?

Let alone him, just imagine yourself being hit by a small object weighing five or six tons. Would you be able to withstand it? You'd probably be pierced through on the spot.
