A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

"Ugh."

Chapter 116

Tian Tian, ​​who was following closely beside the two, sighed helplessly and muttered, "Teacher Kai actually gets seasick. It's really embarrassing. But, it's good to let him have some peace and quiet."

"Ningci".

There were eight people in this group, obviously not just the third class. In fact, there were also members of the eighth class walking alongside them. It's just a mystery how they met. Didn't Kurenai Yuhi say before they set off that the third class would arrive a little earlier than them?

At that moment, Kurenai called Neji aside, glanced at Hinata who looked dejected, and after thinking for a moment, whispered, "I don't expect you to fulfill the so-called obligations of the branch family, but I hope you will stop hurting my disciple."

"Humph."

Neji scoffed dismissively and replied, "Don't worry, I'm not so bored as to bother with someone who's a burden."

After saying that, Neji didn't wait for Kurenai Yuhi's reaction, nor did he pay attention to Hinata, whose face suddenly turned pale. He quickly walked a few steps back to Team 3.

"That's really going too far."

Ya moved closer to Hinata and comforted her with concern, "Hinata, don't worry so much about the competition on the ship. He's a year older than you, so it's not a big deal if you win."

Judging from what Kiba said, it seems that Hinata and Neji sparred on the ship that came to the Land of Waves. Judging from their current attitudes, we can guess the outcome.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Hinata is different from Neji. If Neji is a genius, then she can really only be considered a hardworking ordinary person.

Even if Neji were a year older than Hinata, as Kiba said, she still wouldn't be able to beat him, because the difference between them, both in terms of talent and mindset, is too great.

Hinata is more like an ostrich, who likes to bury her head in the sand to escape reality.

Neji is more like a hedgehog, who likes to cover himself with sharp quills as a protective shield.

Although both of them have somewhat negative attitudes toward life, the former always chooses to escape, while the latter chooses to face things proactively. How could Hinata possibly be a match for Neji?

Hinata.

At this moment, Shino also came over and suggested, "Why don't you let your boyfriend stand up for you?"

Hinata's face suddenly turned red, and she finally regained some of her composure. She lowered her head shyly and muttered softly, "That's not good. This is between Neji and me."

"Ugh?"

Kurenai Yuhi, who was still troubled about how to deal with Hinata, was taken aback and looked at Hinata with some disbelief, asking, "Really? Hinata, could it be that this kid named Yang Lei is really your boyfriend?"

In the beginning, the story of Hinata and Yang Lei spread quite a bit in the village. Otherwise, do you think Hiashi Hyuga would have made such a big deal out of a little kid?

It wasn't until things escalated that Hiashi Hyuga, who hadn't yet been too disappointed in Hinata, thought to himself, "It's fine to have a boyfriend, but you can't start dating so early, can you?" That's when he resorted to underhanded tactics.

The matter was supposed to end when Yang Lei dropped out of school, and the villagers had almost forgotten about it. However, when Yang Lei openly hugged Hinata in class, the matter was brought up again, and with even greater fanfare than before.

After all, Yang Lei and Hinata are no longer six years old, but twelve. Although they are still a little young, they can no longer be considered as ignorant.

As a result, some people with ulterior motives will inevitably have some thoughts: Could it be that the Hyuga clan wants to form a marriage alliance with the Sarutobi clan?

After all, Yang Lei is Asma's godson, and Asma doesn't have her own son, so it's inevitable that some misunderstandings will arise.

Think about it, Asuma is the Third Hokage's biological son. So, besides Konohamaru, Yang Lei is the Third Hokage's only direct descendant.

Konohamaru is only nine years old. If he were to arrange a marriage, besides Yang Lei, could he also find a branch family member of the Sarutobi clan to marry the daughter of the main family of the Hyuga clan?

Kurenai Yuhi had heard some rumors, but she thought that such young children wouldn't be used as political tools by the family. But now it seemed that the two children had fallen in love with each other, which surprised her. Are children these days so precocious?

"Hey."

Just as Kurenai was about to ask Hinata and Yang Lei more questions, the four members of Class 3 who were walking ahead suddenly stopped in their tracks. Mette Kei, without turning her head, reminded them, "Did you hear anything?"

"sound?"

Kurenai Yuhi, being a Jonin, quickly put aside her distractions and paid attention to her surroundings. Soon, she heard some noises.

Seeking flowers...

"There's a battle going on in the distance?"

Kurenai raised an eyebrow and looked at Matt Ke, her eyes revealing a hint of worry and inquiry.

"That's right, Kakashi and the others are probably fighting the enemy."

"Maiteke said, his face no longer showing any signs of seasickness, and shouted, "Head towards the battlefield at full speed! Neji, Hinata, use your Byakugan to scout out the situation ahead! Let's go!"

"Swish swish."

The eight people who had been leisurely just moments before suddenly sped up and rushed forward, with Might Guy and Neji leading the charge and Kurenai Yuhi and Hinata bringing up the rear. This formation could be considered the most versatile.

"what?"

After rushing forward for a short while, Matt Ke suddenly let out a soft exclamation and shouted, "There are two battlefields in total, one in the forest and the other at sea. Red, take your Eighth Squad to check out the forest. We'll go to the sea. Try not to cause any trouble if you're not on our side. Go and provide support to the other side."

...

It seems that Matt Ke is still quite reliable when needed.

First, let's talk about why he sent Kurenai's Class 8 to the forest. The trees in the forest can block the view, and although it may seem like it's easier to be ambushed, there should be no more ambushes since there's already a battle going on inside. This way, if Class 8 can't defeat the enemy, they'll still have a chance to escape.

If it were at sea, there would be nowhere to hide, and if you couldn't defeat the enemy, you would only face death. You can't just sink to the bottom of the sea and hide for ten days or half a month, can you?

It's clear that Matt Ke takes good care of Kurenai and the others, which is why I say he's reliable.

"I see."

Kurenai Yuhi didn't stand on ceremony. She nodded and led Hinata and the other two members of Class 8 in another direction.

Kurenai Yuhi was very self-aware. Even if she didn't think she couldn't beat Matt Kei, she shouldn't forget that her three subordinates were a grade lower than the three members of Squad 3 and were much weaker. She should go to a location where she could escape.

Chapter 117

Just as the reinforcements from the two squads were finally about to arrive, the battles on both battlefields were also nearing their end!

(PS: Since the female lead hasn't appeared for a long time, and there's some groundwork to write, please don't scold me for padding... After all, Yang Lei isn't Naruto and won't bring about a change in Hinata's mindset. If I don't write more, you'll wonder when Hinata became so poised and confident.)

0109 The Current Status of the Assault Team

"Kakashi-sensei."

Rewind a bit, and at the edge of the forest, Kakashi and his group finally broke through the encirclement after a frantic effort. They killed quite a few pursuers along the way, and at least a dozen people died at the hands of Kakashi and Asuma.

Among them, Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino worked together to kill two Chunin, while Sakura accomplished nothing. However, as long as she didn't hold the team back, she made a great contribution.

"What's wrong, Sakura?"

Kakashi pulled down his headband to cover his Sharingan in his left eye, smiled at Sakura, and said, "Were you scared? Don't worry, I'll protect you even if it kills me. I will never let my comrades be killed."

Although Kakashi's smile as he turned around was very cool, it was clear that he had guessed wrong.

"no."

Xiaoying shook her head, and asked with some concern, "Do we have any kind of signal flare or something like '705u.com-Reading Club First Release'? Now that we've broken through, can we call Yang Jun over?"

"This one."

Kakashi scratched his face awkwardly and said with a wry smile, "I'm really sorry, I only brought smoke bombs. Although I could have my ninja dog go and notify him, I'm afraid the dog would be killed before it even gets close."

"Don't worry, Sakura."

At this moment, Asma, who took the opportunity to light a cigarette, also spoke up to persuade Yang Lei: "We have to trust Yang Lei. If he is no match for them, he will definitely escape immediately."

As he spoke, he also showed off the specially made kunai in his hand.

"I see."

Although Xiaoying's face still showed worry, she thought about how Asma and Yang Lei were closer, and even he said so, so she couldn't bring herself to say that she wanted to go back to find Yang Lei.

"Little Cherry Blossom".

The group continued walking forward. At this moment, Ino quietly approached, nudged Sakura's shoulder with her shoulder, and asked in a surprised whisper, "You don't actually like Yang Lei, do you?"

Sakura glanced at Ino, then thought about Yang Lei, whose situation was still unknown, and, too lazy to hide anything any longer, simply nodded.

"Ugh?"

Ino exclaimed unconsciously.

"Be careful."

Just then, Asuma shouted and shoved Sakura and Ino, who were walking together, away. Suddenly, more than a dozen kunai flew out from the forest on the left and stuck right where Sakura and Ino had just been standing.

However, although Asuma's timely reaction saved the two women from disaster, he himself was pierced by several kunai in his left arm, which was now hanging by his side, bleeding profusely. It looked like his tendons had been accidentally severed, and he could no longer use his arm normally.

"Feel sorry."

Kakashi, walking at the front of the group, apologized as he left the defensive formation with a stench, and at the same time pulled back his headband to reveal his Sharingan again.

He had expended a lot of chakra and mental energy during the previous breakout operation, and thought that he would be safer after coming out of the forest. He believed that as long as he was careful, he might be able to escape safely.

Unexpectedly, not long after he turned off his Sharingan, the team suffered a setback. If Asuma hadn't reacted quickly, there would have been a loss of members. How could he not feel guilty?

After all, Kakashi had just said something so cool, isn't this a slap in the face?

"Don't mind it."

Asma waved her right hand casually, pointing to where Sakura and Ino had just been standing, and said, "Those two girls didn't notice there was a trap here, not an ambush."

Is that so?

Kakashi confirmed that Asuma's judgment was correct; there were no enemy ambushes in the forest, only some low-quality traps scattered everywhere. He wondered if there were any high-level traps hidden beneath those low-level ones.

"It seems this road is no longer safe."

Kakashi concluded that since someone had set a trap before them, they could no longer proceed in this direction. However, returning the way they came would mean encountering pursuers, which was a difficult situation.

"Shanghai, I guess."

Asma spoke, while Ino and Sakura, who looked guilty, helped bandage his left hand, and said his opinion: "We'll take turns carrying Mr. Dazner's family and go around from the sea to the bridge. I believe that Cardo and his gang will never expect us to hide there."

Kakashi's eyes lit up, and he continued Asuma's words, "And our reinforcements will be here soon. As long as we can delay them until tomorrow, that will be enough."

"That's right."

Asma smiled and nodded, then turned to see the two women secretly shedding several tears out of self-reproach. She couldn't help but shake her head with amusement and comforted them, "Alright, how long do you want to stop crying?"

"This is a battlefield. Isn't it a comrade's duty to protect his comrades?"

We'll see.

Asma looked at Xiaoying with a mix of amusement and admiration, and said, "Once Yang Lei meets up with us, he can treat my left hand, so there's no need to feel guilty anymore. If you really feel bad, treat everyone to barbecue when we get back..."

"Barbecue? Yay!"

The four genin surrounding the Tazna family, Choji, who had been looking serious, immediately became eager to make his presence known when he heard about barbecue. He grinned and calculated, "Everyone owes Yang Lei a barbecue meal, and if we add Sakura and Ino's meal this time, that's several barbecue meals in total."

"Is it several meals?"

Shikamaru looked at Choji with a black line on his face. He originally wanted to help Choji sort out how many meals he should get, but then he thought better of it. Choji didn't care about how many barbecue meals he could get; he just cared that he could have barbecue at all.

"Huh? Do we owe Yang Lei too?"

Chapter 118

With his back to the fishy-smelling man, Nickel Q exclaimed in surprise. He was very poor, probably even poorer than Yang Lei, and couldn't afford to treat everyone to barbecue.

"Haha."

Seeing the good atmosphere in the team, and with Sakura and Ino finally breaking into laughter after their tears, the two Jonin couldn't help but laugh along. However, the seriousness and worry in their eyes did not diminish at all.

They deliberately didn't stop the ninjas from chatting, their purpose being to see if there were any ambushes around.

Now they seem to be safe, but the two experienced Jonin don't think so. They know that there is definitely danger waiting for them ahead.

I just don't know what I'll encounter.

3.3

"All right."

After the two women had bandaged his left hand, Asuma stopped their chatter and said, "Instead of continuing to eat endlessly at this barbecue feast, why don't Kakashi and I treat you to a big meal when we get back? Otherwise, your financial burden will be too heavy, won't it?"

Upon hearing Asuma's words, apart from Choji, who looked reluctant, and Sasuke, who looked indifferent, the other children all breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, if we're being honest, Sasuke is the richest person there. As long as he doesn't defect, he'll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of his life.

The poorest of them all is Xiaoying. As mentioned before, she is an ordinary child, and even her family background is extremely ordinary.

Therefore, her allowance was pitifully small.

Of course, Xiaoying is much better than the 'Crown Prince' no matter what.

0110 Pursuers reappear, Kaiban arrives.

"Alright, let's set off."
