A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

The murderous intent revealed in Yang Lei's eyes seemed genuine; otherwise, the four Jonin wouldn't have rushed over so urgently. They knew that if there weren't so many people present, he wouldn't have been able to silence everyone, and Neji would probably have really died there.

Don't think Yang Lei is incapable of doing this. His hands are still wet with blood. He's killed over fifty people; one more won't make a difference.

"What's going on here?"

Mitekai was so anxious he was jumping up and down. He had just shown off by opening the first seven gates of the Eight Gates at once, and his condition was at its worst. Forget about being a genin, being able to walk on his own would be a good achievement.

So, although Mattek didn't know how terrifying Yang Lei's strength was, he was still looking to the other three Jonin for help with a worried look, because he was really powerless to do anything about it. If the two kids really started fighting, he could only stand by and watch helplessly.

"Yang Jun".

At this moment, Hinata, being very sensible, spoke up before the others and whispered to Yang Lei, "Um, I'm fine. Neji-nii was actually doing it for my own good. He was reminding me that my family wouldn't agree to our relationship. Don't be angry with him."

As the young lady of the Hyuga family, Hinata has learned a lot, especially about family matters, and is not a clueless little fool.

She knew all too well how many obstacles there would be between her and Yang Lei, but he was her only support. She could only get tenderness and support from Yang Lei, so how could she give up?

Just like now, although Hinata was troubled by the conflict between Yang Lei and Neji, and wanted to advise them but didn't know how to start, a sweet feeling was welling up deep in her heart. Although she didn't get her father's care or her family's attention, there was someone who was willing to do something rebellious for her. This kind of protectiveness and care fascinated her and was the only thing she could still hold on to.

Hinata watched as her younger sister Hanabi, who was five years younger than her, became increasingly talented in the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist style, even defeating her in a match a year or two ago.

It was because of that competition that Hinata was completely abandoned by Hyuga Hiashi, who did not follow the clan rules to plant the Restoration B-Seal on Hanabi, intending to cultivate Hanabi so that she could inherit the position of clan leader.

In other words, Hinata is already an outcast of the Hyuga family; all that's left is to plant the Restoration B-Seal on her so she can be sent directly to the branch family.

As a result, Hinata became somewhat self-destructive. If it weren't for Yang Lei, she really didn't know what she would have become. Perhaps she would have fallen into depravity long ago.

Perhaps Hinata will still be attracted to Naruto, who never gives up and strives to gain the village's recognition and become Hokage, just like in the original story.

But now things are different. She has Yang Lei's attention and gentleness, as well as his fiercely protective nature. Hinata is happy because of this, and that's why she hasn't given up on herself. Although it's not as difficult as before, she is still working hard to practice her Jujutsu.

Therefore, Yang Lei can be said to be the only one Hinata cannot give up. She may not receive her father's attention, and she may be abandoned by her family, but if she were to separate from Yang Lei, it would be no different from being separated from him.

That's why Hinata hurriedly advised Yang Lei, not wanting him to clash with Neji and the others, fearing that he might make an irreparable mistake.

Hinata trusted Yang Lei completely. She knew he would really fight to the death for her, just like six years ago when, to help her out of a predicament, the small and thin Yang Lei dared to take on three big kids all by himself.

Six years ago it was like that, so how could Yang Lei, who has now become so powerful, possibly be timid and hesitant?

“．ˇ雛田”.

Yang Lei wasn't unaware of what he should and shouldn't do. If there hadn't been outsiders, he would have already attacked; his speed was no joke.

He had actually given the Jonin a chance to react, both to save face for himself and to give them an explanation.

Then he said, "I know what you mean, but his attitude towards you makes me unhappy. So, I won't kill him this time, but I need to give him an explanation."

In other words, Yang Lei wasn't unaware that Neji was reminding Hinata, and that he was acting in Hinata's best interests, but he still wanted an explanation from Neji, simply because his tone and attitude were somewhat excessive.

0124 Yang Lei vs. Ningci

No wonder Yang Lei is so arrogant and unreasonable. Look how polite he is to others; he's always the most courteous.

Why is the girl I like treated like this by someone else?

Chapter 133

If Yang Lei doesn't step up now, he won't be able to get past his own conscience.

Secondly, it doesn't matter whether Neji reminds him or not, so why did Yang Lei reveal his Tenseigan? The purpose was to lay the groundwork, because he would confront the Hyuga clan after returning.

When Yang Lei first revealed his Tenseigan, it could be said that he had no way to resist. After all, the advancement of the Byakugan was a bit too sudden. He really didn't expect that the Sage Physique of the Uzumaki Clan could also unlock the evolution of the Byakugan.

But this second exposure is intentional; he wants to use the opportunity of being present to spread rumors and gain favor with Hinata.

Meanwhile, once Neji relays the news of his Tenseigan to the Hyuga clan, he might not even need to make a special trip; his and Hinata's problems will be resolved without them having to visit.

After all, Hinata has been reduced to an outcast. If she can recruit a genius with eye techniques for the family, it would be a way to make use of her.

Therefore, Yang Lei doesn't need to thank Ningci; he wasn't really helping them, nor could he. 590

In this way, he felt much more justified in throwing his tantrums.

"Ningci".

Yang Lei released Hinata's small hand, shook off Asuma's large hand on his shoulder, and walked around Kurenai Yuhi who was blocking his way. He then said to Neji, who was behind Kakashi and Might Guy, "Hinata is mine. I don't care what your reasons are. You can ignore her, but you can't belittle or target her."

Since Yang Lei had clearly stated that he only wanted to teach Neji a lesson, the Jonin exchanged glances and remained silent.

They're thirteen and twelve years old, still just children. Let them handle their own affairs; adults shouldn't interfere.

Come on.

Then Yang Lei beckoned to Ningci with his right hand and said, "Let me see if you have the strength to look down on others."

"Since you insist on doing so..."

Neji's face was very gloomy. He had meant well, but his way of expressing it was a bit inappropriate. He didn't expect to cause such a fuss. He was really angry.

What made him particularly dissatisfied with himself was that he was actually frightened by the murderous aura of Yang Lei, who was a year below him. He even lost control of his chakra and ended up falling into the sea, which was incredibly embarrassing.

Therefore, Neji's state of mind at this moment was really not calm. It could be said that he was extremely embarrassed and angry. Hearing Yang Lei's words, he nodded and replied, "Then I have no choice but to play along and see if you have the strength to provoke me."

"what?"

Yang Lei almost burst out laughing. Did he even have the strength? If these words came from the mouths of the four Jonin present, it would be somewhat understandable.

But Ningci's words only made him laugh his head off, because the two were no longer on the same level.

Neji is currently only at the Chunin level at most, while Yang Lei has at least the strength of a near-Kage. He can even kill a Jonin instantly, let alone Neji. The gap between them is simply too big.

"What's wrong?"

The surrounding genin looked at each other, somewhat confused as to what had happened and why the two had suddenly become confrontational.

It's not that they were slow to react; they were just too young to understand how much Yang Lei cared about Hinata. Only Sakura seemed to understand, and at that moment she was staring at Yang Lei's profile with gentle and expectant eyes.

"Give them some space."

Kakashi couldn't help but sigh softly. He was exhausted and wanted to return to the town in the Land of Waves as soon as possible to get some rest. However, he had to let Yang Lei and Neji take charge for him. Otherwise, he was worried that they would resolve the matter on their own, and the course of events would be out of their control.

Following Kakashi's instructions, the genin retreated to the side to act as observers, then positioned themselves in four directions, surrounding Yang Lei and Neji in the center. "705u.com - First Release of the Reading Club"

And so, only Yang Lei and Ning Ci remained on a ten-meter square stretch of sea, with plenty of space for them to have a good fight.

"It's on."

Yang Lei didn't hesitate much. It wasn't that he was arrogant, but the gap between them was really too big. He glared with his Tsurugi eyes and rushed forward, arriving in front of Neji in the blink of an eye.

"Roll your eyes, open."

Neji mentally shouted and activated his Byakugan, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. He felt immense pressure from Yang Lei and was ready to go all out from the start. To Hinata's surprise, he assumed a fighting stance and softly shouted, "Gentle Fist Technique, Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms."

Yang Lei's eyes lit up, and a fleeting look of admiration crossed his mind. He thought to himself, "Neiji truly lives up to his reputation as a genius. He's already mastered the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms?"

Regardless of Yang Lei's actual strength, he is much older than Neji in terms of mental age, so it's not inappropriate for him to praise Neji in the tone of an elder.

Moreover, Neji truly deserves the title of genius. You see, his father, Hyuga Hizashi, died many years ago for Hyuga Hiashi, leaving only young Neji in the family. Moreover, the family was in the process of splitting up, which meant Neji didn't have many opportunities to be exposed to Gentle Fist.

In other words, he developed the Bagua Sixty-Four Palms entirely on his own based on the little information he knew, and his talent was truly astonishing.

After all, the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms is a secret technique passed down orally from generation to generation in the Hyuga main family. Not to mention outsiders, even members of the branch family have no chance to learn it.

Yet Neji has mastered this secret technique at such a young age. If the Hyuga main family knew about it, who knows what they would think.

However, although we don't know what the Hyuga main family of Konoha Village will think, don't forget that there is a young lady from the Hyuga main family here. Hinata has already opened her Byakugan and is looking at Neji with a complicated expression. It turns out that her cousin showed mercy in the previous battle.

"drink."

Leaving aside the situation outside the arena, let's look at the two people inside. Ningci let out a loud shout, and a blue Bagua circle suddenly appeared on the water beneath his feet, covering Yang Lei and him who had already arrived.

"Second palm strike."

Neji suddenly appeared in front of Yang Lei by taking a step forward, putting his index and middle fingers together to form a sword finger, and channeling his chakra to strike Yang Lei's pressure points.

"It seems that this Bagua formation is more than just aesthetically pleasing."

Yang Lei still had the mind to look at the Bagua formation at his feet, and muttered to himself, "There is also an element belonging to the spatial array in it. No wonder Neji in the original work said that 'the Bagua diagram is entirely within his attack range'. It's because no matter where the enemy is, he can get there in an instant."

Just then, Neji's hand was about to press on Yang Lei's chest acupoint.

"Be careful."

Yang Lei smiled at Hinata's exclamation.

"Indestructible!"

Chapter 134

0125 Wake up, Neji!!!

"Indestructible."

Faced with Ningci's outstretched hands, Yang Lei responded by using the Demon Ape Clan's racial ability, Vajra Indestructible, and transformed his left hand into a shield using a hand seal.

"Ding-dong".

With a crisp sound, Ningci's attack struck Yang Lei's steel shield. The pressure point striking ability of the Gentle Fist technique could not be used, and it did not cause Yang Lei any harm.

The indestructible ability of the Demon Ape clan is quite miraculous, allowing them to transform what is essentially a mere illusion into something extraordinary. In the original work, the golden cudgel transformed by the clan leader, Enma, was even able to rival Orochimaru's divine weapon, the Kusanagi sword.

"Oops."

Neji frowned, inwardly cursing his luck. It wasn't just because Yang Lei possessed the ability to counter Gentle Fist, but also because Yang Lei had already launched a counterattack.

"drink."

Yang Lei roared, placed the shield that his left hand had transformed into in front of him, and pushed it forward with his right hand.

"Humph."

The moment the two made contact, Neji let out a muffled groan and was sent flying without any resistance.

"It's not over yet."

Behind him, Yang Lei spoke as he returned his left hand to its original state, quickly forming hand seals and softly chanting, "Water Release: Water Chaos Wave."

As Yang Lei used his ninjutsu, the water in front of him suddenly boiled. Around Neji's landing point, huge waves rose high and then crashed down, all of them hitting Neji and shoving him into the sea.

Yang Lei's attack wasn't just on the water. Because the surrounding waves were still rising and several turbulent currents appeared underwater, Ningji felt like his body was being torn apart. He tried his best but couldn't break free, let alone get back to the surface.

After waiting for about three minutes, just as Neji had choked on two mouthfuls of water and was about to lose consciousness, the four Jonin on the surface of the water finally spoke.

Let's stop here.

As the leader of the third squad, Matt Kai had a good understanding of the strength of his three subordinates. Seeing that Neji was still unable to break free, he knew that Neji was about to reach his limit and quickly told him to stop, otherwise he was worried that Neji would be in danger.

"Ok."

Yang Lei then stopped transmitting chakra to the Water Chaos Wave. Before the Jonin could carry out a rescue operation, he used the last small wave to send the disheveled Neji aboard.

"Sure enough, he has grown up completely, and even I may not be a match for him anymore."

Asma looked over, her expression complex, a mixture of relief and pride, but also a hint of bitterness.

Ever since Asuma learned of Yang Lei's extraordinary Eye of Insight, he knew very well that as long as Yang Lei could grow up smoothly, he would definitely become an unparalleled powerhouse in the future, at least reaching the level of the First Hokage and obtaining a title no weaker than the God of Shinobi.

But he never expected that Yang Lei would grow up so fast. He was only twelve years old, yet he already possessed the strength of a Jonin. This made him feel quite emotional.

"It's true what they say, comparisons are odious."

Asma sighed inwardly, then smiled happily. Their years of friendship were genuine; he truly treated Yang Lei like a son. How could he not be happy to see his son succeed?

Unlike Asuma, Metaker seemed quite surprised. Such strength, which could easily take down elite genin, or even chunin, with just a couple of hands, should at least be something a jonin could do.

In other words, that child already possesses the strength of a Jonin?

As mentioned before, the Water Rumble Wave is a very simple, basic ninjutsu, with virtually no offensive power. It's basically a common technique that anyone who wants to learn it can find anywhere.

But this ninjutsu, in Yang Lei's hands, turned the impossible into the possible, combining with the terrain to firmly trap Neji underwater. If Miteke had spoken up any later, Neji would probably have swallowed a bellyful of seawater.

It wasn't that Might Guy was bragging; he genuinely believed that Neji's strength had reached the level of a Chunin, but he simply hadn't accumulated enough experience from missions.

"I lost."

After surfacing, Ningji was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Yang Lei, admitting defeat with a bewildered expression, and then staring blankly into space.

As mentioned before, Neji is truly a genius. It's a pity he encountered Yang Lei. Otherwise, among his peers, even if he couldn't beat others, he wouldn't have lost so easily and been so powerless to fight back.

With just two moves, and not even particularly complex ones, Yang Lei was defeated with a simple collision and a basic water-style ninjutsu. This was something Neji couldn't accept; the difference was too great.

Fortunately, Yang Lei wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't let things go. Since he had already sought justice for Hinata, he naturally wouldn't kick him while he was down. Seeing Neji like this, he kindly offered a word of advice: "Don't be so disappointed. I've killed several Jonin and dozens of Chunin. It's not shameful for you to have been defeated by me."

Seeking flowers...

Yang Lei has killed quite a few people since he arrived in the Land of Waves, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to unleash his murderous aura before.

Among the names Yang Lei killed, there were at least five Jonin. Three of them were ten-man squads from the first wave of the hundred-man rogue ninja group, while the other two were Zabuza and Raiga.
