A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

(PS: The next chapter will be in a little while, I'm starting to write now...)

0135 Li, who had drunk too much

Asma has so bluntly said 'too many eyes make the heart grow fonder,' so the matter of the matter has been temporarily dropped. He will educate himself later, so you don't need to worry about it.

As for his gold brick?

"Since Yang Lei is being so generous, we naturally can't refuse."

Kakashi coughed lightly, nodded to Yang Lei, and said, "Then you'll have to pay the bill later. Asuma and I will make up for it in a few days."

"Hey."

Yuhiko couldn't stand it anymore. This gold brick should have been handed over to the public, but since everyone was going to turn a blind eye, why take advantage of a child?

"Yang Lei".

Yuhi Hong picked up the gold brick and was about to stuff it back into Yang Lei's hands, saying as she did so, "Don't listen to them. This meal alone will cost half a gold brick. There are so many people here. The barbecue in the restaurant will probably be eaten up. Don't underestimate the cost of barbecue restaurants. You should save it for yourself."

"It's alright."

Yang Lei smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself that Aunt Hong was still his godmother, yet she was protecting him like this. It seemed he had to find a way to bring them together.

While thinking to himself, Yang Lei also said aloud, "I originally planned to share it equally with everyone, otherwise I wouldn't have taken it out. Now there's still half a piece left, so we can divide it up later."

"You silly child."

Seeing that Yang Lei's attitude was very firm, Yuhi Hong sighed and decided not to argue with him anymore. She could only say, "We four adults don't need to do anything. As for what you children should do, that's up to you to decide."

"What a huge gold brick!"

The children standing nearby were dumbfounded. They had seen gold before, but they had never seen such a large gold brick before, and they couldn't help but feel envious.

But when they heard that Yang Lei actually planned to split it equally with them, even though it was a gold brick after the bill had been paid, it was still quite a lot. They couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Yang Lei, are you really going to split it equally with us?"

Of course, there were also voices of refusal. For example, Neji generously stated that he didn't need it, and Hinata also whispered that she didn't want it either, as her family had everything she needed, and if they didn't have it, someone else would buy it for her. She said that having money was really useless.

"I meant we should split it equally."

Yang Lei rolled his eyes at the twelve Konoha 12, not only rejecting Neji and Hinata's refusal, but also ruining Shikamaru's plan.

The question, "Are you really going to divide it equally among us?" was shouted by Shikamaru. It had a second meaning, which was exactly what it sounded like: dividing it equally among them. But it didn't say that Yang Lei would get a share. I don't know if Shikamaru was provoked by the gold or just wanted to tease Yang Lei.

Fortunately, Yang Lei wasn't stupid. He immediately realized the trap in Yang Lei's words and repeated what he had said earlier, thus achieving several goals at once.

Listening to the children's noisy chatter, the four adults laughed and drank, creating a rather pleasant atmosphere.

But as Matt Ke got a little tipsy, a little incident happened that no one noticed.

Matt Ke swayed as he picked up his glass and took a sip. Suddenly, he frowned and muttered under his breath, "Huh? Why doesn't it taste like alcohol? Am I drunk?"

As he spoke, Matt Ke put down his glass, picked up the bottle next to him, poured himself another glass, and then drank it all in one gulp. He nodded in satisfaction: "That's right. It seems I picked up the wrong glass just now. It should be Xiao Li's, right?"

Thinking this, Mattek looked ahead and indeed found that there was no cup in front of Xiao Li. He pushed his own cup in front of Xiao Li.

Because Yang Lei was still discussing with Xing Lu about how to allocate the money and what to buy, he didn't notice, otherwise he would definitely have spoken up to stop them.

Right now, Yang Lei, the only one who knows the plot, didn't see Matt Ke's actions, and Matt Ke didn't know how much trouble his glass of wine would cause, so he continued eating and drinking.

"what?"

Because he was having a great time chatting and laughing with Xing Su, Xiao Li soon became a little thirsty. He turned around, grabbed his wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp. He frowned in confusion and muttered, "What's going on? The drink tastes weird?"

Even as he was talking, Xiao Li's face turned bright red in the blink of an eye. However, because the meat was still being grilled inside and it was very hot, no one noticed anything unusual about him; at most, they just assumed he was hot.

"My head feels a little dizzy."

As Xiao Li muttered to himself, his body began to sway, and finally, people noticed his abnormality.

"Ok?"

Looking at Xiao Li's appearance, Yang Lei's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Xiao Li has been drinking? Is he going to start practicing drunken boxing? Oh no."

· ·····Requesting flowers

Although Yang Lei guessed what had happened to Xiao Li, he couldn't say it. After all, even Xiao Li himself and his relatives and friends didn't know about his tendency to get drunk easily and his bad drinking habits. How could he know?

Therefore, Yang Lei could only keep a watchful eye on Hinata and Sakura, but dared not show it too obviously. He could only focus all his attention on Hinata and Sakura, hoping that they would not get hurt.

Chapter 145

"Little Li?"

Might Guy was also a bit drunk. He only noticed something was wrong when Kakashi and the others reminded him. Seeing Lee swaying as he stood up, he quickly reached out to support him, asking, "What's wrong? Are you drunk?"

Upon hearing Matt Ke's words, Yang Lei couldn't help but feel the urge to roll his eyes, but he held back after thinking about it. After all, he had to act as if he didn't know anything about Xiao Li. But in doing so, the half-rolled eyes took on a different meaning. Hinata and Sakura across from him both lowered their heads, so they didn't notice that Xiao Li had already started to act.

... ......

"Ah-da."

Then, a dazed-looking Li shouted and slammed his right fist into Matt Ke.

"Ouch."

Matt Ke cried out in pain. Firstly, he hadn't expected his beloved student to attack him, and secondly, he had drunk too much, his body was stiff and heavy, his mind was numb, and his reactions were no longer sharp. He didn't dodge in time and was punched in the eye.

That wasn't the end of it. After defeating Matt Ke, Lee suddenly turned and kicked out. Sitting next to him was Neji, who, with his sharp eyes and keen hearing, dodged the kick with a sidestep.

Neji managed to avoid it, but the girls sitting opposite him were in trouble, especially Hinata and Sakura, who were blushing and looking down shyly.

"Hey."

Yang Lei, who had been secretly watching Xiao Li, was not about to let him actually hit the two women. He let out a soft shout and dashed out, stepping on either side of the grill in the middle of the table to block Xiao Li's foot. However, because he dared not step on the grill, his weight distribution was uneven, and he was unable to withstand Xiao Li's kick, falling backward.

That's not a big deal. The main problem is that when he fell, he grabbed around a few times with both hands, and ended up pulling Hinata and Sakura down with him as well.

(PS: I'll write another chapter around 3 AM.)

0136 lost a fortune!

"This, this is a misunderstanding."

Yang Lei lay on the ground, his arms around the waist of a girl in each hand. If it were only Hinata, he wouldn't be so embarrassed to say anything about a misunderstanding. He would have taken the opportunity to hug her a little longer, and maybe even kissed her.

But Sakura was also pulled down by him, and at this moment, she and Hinata were lying on his chest, one on each side. The three of them looked at each other, completely dumbfounded.

"Cough cough."

Finally, it was Tian Tian and Jing Ye on either side who coughed and pulled the two girls up first, which made Yang Lei feel a little better. He quickly got up from the ground, looking dejected.

The main point is that Yang Lei still had that intention; otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a disheveled state.

At this moment, Hinata clearly didn't see anything, she just felt a little embarrassed and shy, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Yang Lei. As a result, Yang Lei thought that the little girl was thinking deeply about something, and couldn't help but feel a little dangerous.

This is a huge joke. Yang Lei hasn't even had anything going on with Xiao Ying yet. Even if he did, so what? As the saying goes, "Catch the adulterer in the act."

If someone is experienced, they definitely won't admit defeat unless they're cornered in bed.

As a result, he was about to be exposed. Before Hinata could even ask, he was already starting to lose his footing. Look at his nervous appearance, which made Asuma roll his eyes.

Asma used to think Yang Lei was pretty good, since he dared to run two accounts at once. Wasn't he afraid of getting his account banned?

Now I know, this kid wasn't very brave after all. At least he can breathe a sigh of relief.

"plum."

Just then, Matt Ke's shout finally drew the attention of everyone, and Yang Lei could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Maite Ke and Xiao Li were already fighting outside the private room. However, Maite Ke did not want to hurt Xiao Li, and since he was already drunk, he could not exert much strength, so he was quite helpless against Xiao Li.

Why is alcohol one of the three forbidden things for ninjas? It's because drinking can lead to mistakes, make it easy for others to extract information from you when you're drunk, and also prevent you from using your skills effectively.

Just like Mitek at this moment, who has Kage-level strength when he opens the seventh gate and even surpasses Kage-level strength when he opens the eighth gate, he can't even handle a Genin, which shows how powerful he is.

Rock Lee's current strength is at most at the level of Chunin, while Might Guy is a proper Jonin even without opening the Eight Gates. The difference in their strength is simply too great.

Unfortunately, he doesn't know Drunken Fist. Drinking too much will only affect his performance, unlike Lee, who can still use Drunken Fist when he's drunk, and is even better than usual. Compared to Lee, Matt Ke is definitely a bit inferior.

"What's wrong?"

Everyone else chased after him, and seeing that Xiao Li was getting more and more violent, they couldn't help but wonder why the child had suddenly gone crazy.

They had considered the possibility that Xiao Li might have drunk the wrong thing, mistaking alcohol for a beverage. However, they hadn't expected that Xiao Li was an unusually prone to getting drunk; even a small sip was enough to make him intoxicated. At this point, they assumed he was having an episode.

"I can't hold him back any longer."

Then Matt Ke shouted, and was suddenly kicked in the stomach by Little Lee in a strange position, and then collapsed weakly.

"Ah-da."

After breaking free of the clamps, Xiao Li erupted again, shouting and punching the side. With a crisp 'crack', the wooden wall of the private room was shattered by his punch.

Then, regardless of the danger, Xiao Li ran back and forth, charging left and right, and soon defeated the 'enemy' so badly that the boss was in tears.

"Is he just drunk and acting crazy?"

Only then did Yang Lei finally take the opportunity to reveal what he knew, letting out Xing Si Xing Hui. No wonder the child who was fine before suddenly went berserk; it turned out he was drunk.

"You guys are only just realizing he was drunk?"

Yang Lei mentally scoffed, then saw Xiao Li rush over because the boss came out crying and begging him to stop making a scene. Knowing he couldn't let him cause any more trouble, Yang Lei quickly chased after him and started fighting. Because he had already learned the basics of Drunken Fist, he was able to dodge Xiao Li's attacks, no matter how bizarre they were, thanks to his much stronger abilities.

"You better shut up."

Finally, Yang Lei seized an opportunity to get behind Xiao Li and delivered a chop to the back of Xiao Li's neck, finally calming him down.

"Don't worry, boss."

Yang Lei casually tossed Xiao Li to Matt Ke, then comforted the boss, who was wiping away tears, saying, "Don't worry, we'll compensate you for your losses, how about this..."

Chapter 146

As he spoke, Yang Lei quickly walked back to the large private room, retrieved the gold brick, and handed it to the owner, saying, "Isn't this gold brick enough to compensate for your loss? Of course, there's also the cost of the meal."

"Oh dear, this is too much."

The boss waved his hands repeatedly to refuse, saying, "At most, about nine-tenths will be enough. Don't worry, I will send you the remaining one-tenth after the reconstruction."

"Then that won't be necessary."

Yang Lei smiled and shook his head. Although one-tenth of the weight was still a lot, he had become somewhat arrogant because of his sudden windfall. He said, "After all, we were too impolite. Consider the extra as our apology to you. Otherwise, we are afraid you won't let us in next time."

Asma always took Yang Lei to this barbecue restaurant. Although there were other barbecue restaurants in Konoha Village, this one had the best business and the most fragrant meat. So, Yang Lei and the owner were already acquainted. With a mix of apologies and jokes, the owner quickly stopped being angry and promised to give them a discount when they came back after the reconstruction was completed.

"Let's go."

After settling the compensation issue, the group bid farewell to the owner and walked out of the barbecue restaurant. The Jonin praised Yang Lei's experience and politeness, while the Genin remained silent for a long time.

There's no way to remain speechless. Originally, the 0.2 bricks of gold could have been split equally, but this sum of money was a huge amount for them, enough to do a lot of things.

For example, Choji wanted to use the money to eat and drink extravagantly every day; it would probably be enough for him to eat and drink for more than a month.

The girls had also planned to use the money for a big shopping spree.

Now it's all over, there's no use thinking about it anymore, because the gold bricks have already been used to compensate the barbecue restaurant for its losses.

Previously, because they didn't know what illness Rock Lee had, and the Jonin didn't want to make a move, since Metacritic was still around, they wouldn't easily touch other people's disciples unless Metacritic spoke up.

Yang Lei wasn't unaware of Xiao Li's true nature and knew he could control him, but he didn't want to act too soon, fearing he might expose something. This gave Xiao Li the opportunity to demolish the entire barbecue restaurant. Didn't the boss say it was reconstruction, not renovation?

0137 Sakura's Awakening

After the dinner party, the fishermen...

"Hinata-chan, let me take you home."

Yang Lei approached Hinata, took her small hand in his, her face flushed, and the two began to tease each other playfully behind them.

Behind her, Xiaoying stood watching the receding figure of the fish, a hint of loneliness flashing across her face.

"Yang Jun".

Lowering her head, Sakura held the specially made kunai tied inside her clothes in both hands, recalling the bits and pieces that happened during this mission, her heart filled with mixed feelings of sweetness and bitterness.

"Hey, Sakura."

Just then, Ino quietly fell a few steps behind and came to Sakura's side, bumped Sakura's shoulder with her shoulder, and whispered, "You haven't really changed your mind, have you? Yang Lei is very handsome and strong, but I still think Sasuke is better."

"Besides, Yang Lei is already dating Hinata, right? You have no chance anymore. You should try to steal Sasuke from me instead."

As mentioned before, Ino is a very gentle person who cares a lot about her friends.

For example, even though the two best friends had become enemies because of Sasuke, it was quite rare for her to say these words to comfort Sakura when she saw her so down.

"I think it's better not to."

Xiaoying smiled and shook her head, took a deep breath, and said, "After this experience of leaving the village, I finally understand the importance of strength, and I finally saw my own powerlessness. It turns out that I was the one who was holding everyone back. Everyone else is much stronger than me."
