A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

The Eye of Seeing the Ancients truly lives up to its name. Not only can it obtain other people's things with just one glance, such as abilities, bloodlines, and physiques, but it can even see through the words on a book at a glance. To put it another way, Yang Lei not only memorized the book perfectly after flipping through it once, but also directly understood and mastered it.

For someone with the ability to see through things, it's estimated that only teaching or imparting knowledge verbally can prevent them from being seen through things; otherwise, just one glance from them would be enough for them to learn.

"I'll give it a try."

After returning the book to his teacher, Yang Lei sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate chakra as the teacher made a gesture as if to answer his questions.

"Ugh?"

The teacher couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

For a child, it's very likely that he doesn't even know what chakra is. He was originally prepared to spend several days or even more than ten days teaching Yang Lei about chakra, but in the blink of an eye, Yang Lei started refining chakra.

"Is this little rascal deliberately trying to make fun of me?"

In the end, the teacher could only conclude that Yang Lei had already learned about chakra and was deliberately making fun of him; otherwise, he couldn't think of any other explanation.

Chapter 15

Unaware of his teacher's thoughts and inner turmoil, Yang Lei was currently immersed in the joy of finally mastering chakra. He quickly filled his small dantian, opened his eyes, and felt a wave of exhaustion. He couldn't help but exclaim softly, "I'm so tired."

"I'm exhausted."

The teacher opposite shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and said, "Chakra is extracted from the cells throughout the body. The extraction speed can be slightly increased depending on the strength of one's mental power. In other words, every bit of chakra extracted consumes some physical and mental energy. You're so young, and you've been extracting chakra for more than half an hour. How can you not be tired?"

"hey-hey."

Yang Lei chuckled and scratched his head. He had thoroughly read the book and naturally knew what was needed to refine chakra. However, now that he had finally come into contact with chakra, he couldn't stop anytime soon and naturally had to replenish his dantian.

That said, because of his small stature and weak constitution, his dantian is still quite small. Otherwise, he might have developed health problems due to overworking himself while refining chakra, and it's not impossible that he might even have worked himself to death.

"You'll have to be more careful in the future."

Yang Lei quickly reminded himself that he must be more careful when refining chakra in the future.

"Hey."

At this moment, the teacher opposite him picked up the textbook about chakra with a strange expression, waved it, and said, "Don't tell me you've memorized and understood everything written in the book."

That's it.

Yang Lei nodded and said without reservation, "It was the first time I had ever seen knowledge about chakra, and the first time I had ever seen this book, but for some reason, it was as if I could understand what was written in it. I understood it very easily."

Yang Lei wasn't afraid of being too high-profile. In fact, it wasn't high-profile at all. He was just expressing his genius in written theory to pave the way for the future.

After all, he could probably learn all the courses in just one or two years, and then he could justifiably skip classes to train.

He didn't want to waste too much time listening to lessons he already knew. If he used that time to practice more, even if he didn't reach the level of the master and apprentice with thick eyebrows, he could still make good progress in various physical attributes.

Furthermore, although he needs to keep a low profile to avoid being noticed and targeted for his talent, he can't remain ordinary forever. After all, he aspires to be a genius.

0015 You're a genius!

Who knows what the future holds? At least for now, one person is already amazed by Yang Lei's talent.

"You understood it after just one reading?"

The genin teacher was genuinely taken aback. Although it was just theoretical knowledge from a book and had nothing to do with actual combat, ninjas were a profession that placed the most emphasis on practical combat. However, Yang Lei's genius could not be denied.

Having strong theoretical knowledge and a solid foundation in his studies are all advantages, not bad things. If Yang Lei wasn't lying to him, then he really should report it to his superiors as soon as possible.

If Yang Lei can truly master even the most unfamiliar books quickly, let alone advance his career in the intelligence department, he'll definitely learn the ninjutsu techniques that have already been developed very quickly.

"Please sit here and wait for me."

The teacher thought for a moment, not daring to believe it too easily, nor rushing to deny it. He simply asked Yang Lei to sit there and wait a while. Yang Lei picked up the book about chakra, quickly got up and ran back. He returned to his office, quickly found a few books, and then rushed back as fast as he could.

"What is this?"

Yang Lei was taken aback when he received the books from the teacher. One of them contained the lessons taught that morning, indicating that it should be the first-grade textbook. The following books were about the techniques of clone, substitution, and transformation, collectively known as the Elementary Three-Body Techniques.

The Three Body Techniques are divided into two levels. The basic Three Body Techniques are the three techniques mentioned earlier, while the advanced Three Body Techniques are Instantaneous Movement Technique, Freeze Technique, and Invisibility Technique.

The only ninja technique you can learn at the ninja academy is the basic Three Body Technique. The advanced Three Body Technique isn't a particularly rare ninjutsu, but you can't learn it without chakra.

The Shadow Clone Technique is vastly different from the Shadow Clone Technique that Naruto knows in the original work. It is just the most basic ninjutsu, and the clones created can only confuse the eye and are merely afterimages.

In other words, whether you create ten thousand clones or ten clones, they can only scare the enemy and hide the location of your main body; they cannot provide you with any real help.

The Substitution Technique, although a basic ninjutsu, should not be underestimated. If the timing is right, it can be even more effective than the Body Flicker Technique in the advanced Three Body Techniques.

The final transformation technique is the easiest to understand; it means you can transform into someone else's appearance. However, there is one thing you must be careful about: never be subjected to sudden impact.

Transformation is just an illusion; it doesn't mean you actually become that person. For example, Naruto developed the lust technique using transformation. If you actually pounce on him and try to do *that*, it's useless because Naruto is Naruto; he can't become the real Naruko.

Actually, besides these four books, there are two more books below, one about ninja rules and the other about geography. However, Yang Lei only has the Three Body Techniques in his eyes now, so the other books can't possibly distract him.

"Gudong."

Swallowing hard, Yang Lei looked up at his teacher and asked, "Is it okay?"

The teacher smiled and nodded, thinking to himself, "What would I do with it if I didn't show it to you?"

Yang Lei then picked up the book in his hand and went straight to the Three Body Techniques. He read the three books word by word, closed his eyes to savor the text, and then realized that he had already mastered the Three Body Techniques.

"So that's how it is."

Muttering to himself, without the teacher even asking, Yang Lei clumsily began to form hand seals. He made a mistake at first, but finally succeeded on the second attempt. He opened his mouth and excitedly shouted, "Clone Technique!"

"Boom."

As the white mist dissipated, under the teacher's somewhat surprised gaze, it was seen that Yang Lei had successfully created five clones on his first attempt at the Shadow Clone Technique. This was under relatively relaxed conditions; if he had fully activated his chakra, he could have created even more.

"Oh my God."

The teacher was truly excited. It wasn't just his theoretical understanding; he was also incredibly talented in practical application. This was a genius!

"Little Yang Lei".

The teacher barely suppressed the urge to rush to the Hokage Building, and instructed Yang Lei to disperse the clones, saying, "No need for the Substitution Jutsu. Your hand seals aren't yet proficient, and you're easily injured. Come on, let me see you use the Transformation Jutsu again."

"Ah."

Yang Lei nodded, first looking the teacher up and down, memorizing all his physical features in just one look. He then formed a hand seal again, this time even faster than the second time, and softly shouted, "Transformation Technique, drink!"

"Boom."

Another cloud of white mist appeared from Yang Lei's body. After the teacher waved the mist away, two genin teachers appeared on the spot. If the teacher hadn't known that he was the real person, even he would have misunderstood.

Chapter 16

"A genius, a genius, a rare genius!"

The teacher couldn't hold back any longer. Ignoring the books on the ground, he picked up Yang Lei and ran towards the Naruto Building.

Along the way, Yang Lei seemed a little surprised. Although he knew that the comprehension he deliberately showed was amazing, he thought it was too much.

Actually, Yang Lei was still careless. Reading is reading, and comprehending is comprehending.

Many people can understand a book; at worst, they just need to read it a few more times.

Comprehension is one thing, but to give an example, if two people are learning the same advanced ninjutsu, the one with higher comprehension ability can learn it sooner even if he has a poor memory, while the one with lower comprehension ability, even if he has the ability to remember everything he sees, can understand all the theories in the blink of an eye, but he just can't learn it. These are two completely different things.

Many people will not believe it, saying that if they can recite it fluently and understand the theoretical knowledge, how come they can't learn it?

If that's the case, why are there only so many strong ninjas in the ninja world?

The Third Hokage was a formidable figure, and even if he didn't contribute his skills, he still had children. So why didn't his two sons possess his abilities?

For example, if you could learn something just by watching, why would there be a word like "practice"?

To put it another way, if he had simply understood the books, the genin teacher wouldn't have been so excited. But he showed off right in front of the teacher, demonstrating what he had just started learning in the blink of an eye. His comprehension was truly astonishing.

At this moment, Yang Lei probably realized that he had gone too far. He was thinking quickly, wondering what kind of situation he would encounter. If it was the third generation who received him again, that would be fine, since the old man had a good reputation in the original work.

But what if it's someone else? I just hope he doesn't run into that old codger Danzo. If that old bastard suddenly decides to use him for some kind of research experiment, then he'll really be ruined.

What if they specially recruit him to the top leadership? How much suffering would he have to endure for nothing?

Anyway, he heard that there was something called Ting in Root. He didn't care if the training was cruel, but he was afraid that the rules and brainwashing would turn him into an idiot and eventually become a follower of that old man Danzo. That would be the end of everything.

As Yang Lei began to imagine his situation to be worse and worse, the genin teacher finally carried him to the Hokage Building.

"Thank goodness we're here."

Yang Lei lowered his heart halfway, and only when he was finally led to the door of the Hokage's office did he finally put his heart back in its place.

The confrontation between 0016 and the Third Generation?

This is Yang Lei's second time in the Hokage's office. The last time was when Asuma brought him to apply to join Konoha. It was here that he activated the Infinite System and completed his first main quest. He used the 500,000 reward points he received to exchange for the Eye of Revelation, which can be considered the beginning of everything.

Although only a few months have passed, and Yang Lei is only six years old, and has only been in the Ninja Academy for one day, and has not yet made any name for himself, Yang Lei is confident that, with the help of these eyes, he will eventually stand at the top of this world.

"Come in."

After the genin knocked on the door, the voice of the Third Hokage came from inside, immediately interrupting Yang Lei's fantasy and pulling him back to reality from the clouds of the future. He quickly followed the teacher and stumbled into the room.

"My lord, this is how it is done."

The genin-sensei described Yang Lei's talent in the simplest terms, which surprised even the Third Hokage.

However.

Taking a puff of his pipe, the Third Hokage looked at the genin teacher with a dark expression and said, "You really are being incredibly reckless."

Why did the Third Hokage say that? It's because Yang Lei is too young, only six years old. Even Asuma wasn't in a hurry to teach him about chakra. Although it's not like internal energy that can cause qi deviation, chakra is extracted from the body's cells. If something goes wrong at such a young age, it could ruin his life.

Not to mention, the genin teacher even made Yang Lei practice the clone technique and the transformation technique, which was really outrageous.

"I am sorry."

The genin finally realized what was happening and bowed apologetically.

He genuinely didn't realize that at his age, he was still only a genin, and the only job he could do was to mentor first and second-year students. Students over the third year should be taught by chunin teachers. This shows how mediocre his knowledge and teaching skills were.

But it was precisely because he was so ordinary that Yang Lei was able to learn about chakra so early; otherwise, who knows how long he would have had to endure it.

"You must be careful in the future and never act rashly."

The Third Hokage took the matter of succession very seriously, so he gave the genin a rare, stern warning before sending the genin teacher back.

The genin teacher left, but Yang Lei didn't. The Third Hokage didn't let him leave either. When only the old man and the child were left in the room, they stared at each other, neither of them in a hurry to speak.

The main problem is that Yang Lei doesn't even have the right to speak up. What could he say if he did? Confess and be lenient? His eyes would be gouged out.

"We really struck gold."

After smoking his pipe for a while, the third generation finally spoke, raising his hand to rub Yang Lei's little head and praising him.

What the third generation didn't know was that Yang Lei was already secretly thinking, "Is this a problem with your whole family? Always rubbing other people's heads?"

It turns out that Asma often rubs his head when she has nothing to do. Little Yang Lei is at such an adorable age right now, with his little head round and chubby like a ball. No wonder others like to use this method to show their affection for him.

But he didn't want to be fawned over like that. He was already in his twenties, and his head was like a ball being kneaded and rubbed around. It wasn't a comfortable job at all.

Fortunately, the Third Hokage didn't go as far as Asuma; he just wiped it away casually, smoked a cigarette, and fell into deep thought.

Yang Lei remained silent, standing quietly to the side, waiting for him to speak.

The third generation leader was in a dilemma. He should be happy to have found a treasure, but the little guy was a bit old. He was already five years old when he joined the village, and he could remember things now. What if he really was a little spy sent by someone with the idea that you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub? What should he do?

In other words, the third generation has never truly trusted Yang Lei, but he doesn't show it on the surface. He appears cheerful, but if Yang Lei were truly a six-year-old child, he would have been fooled into telling him everything long ago.

In fact, it was precisely because of Yang Lei's extraordinary depth that the Third Generation could not trust him. You might say he was precocious, but is there anyone this precocious?

It's been almost an hour since that genin teacher left, and he hasn't said a word. Yang Lei just stands there, calmly watching him. Is this really the behavior of a six-year-old child?

Also, he had already asked Asma, and the place where he found Yang Lei was too remote, with no houses for dozens of miles around, plus the forest was full of wild animals. How did he find his way there?

Finally, the child said he didn't know where his home was, but he remembered his own name. Was he suffering from amnesia? Or was he really just an orphan or a wild child? Or had his memories been sealed away by some kind of magic?

Chapter 17

It's not that the Third Hokage was too suspicious; there were just too many suspicious points about Yang Lei. To put it another way, unless the Third Hokage died, or Yang Lei died first, or Yang Lei made a huge contribution to Konoha, it would be difficult for him to trust him.

In the past hour or so, the Third Hokage had thought a lot, and Yang Lei had also thought a lot, but he never thought that his calm demeanor was the biggest flaw. However, he was open-minded and honest. After all, he was not a spy and genuinely wanted to join Konoha. He had never thought about what he would do, so he was able to stand still with a calm mind.

"Ugh."

Another half hour passed before the Third Generation finally spoke. He simply couldn't wait any longer; there was still a pile of documents on the table that needed to be processed.

"Little Yang Lei."

The third generation leader spoke, calling out Yang Lei's name. His first words stunned Yang Lei: "I really regret it. If only Asma had adopted you back then."

"what?"

Yang Lei was stunned, wondering how the topic had suddenly veered to this. Then, he felt a bit smug and relieved, thinking that the Third Hokage meant that if a genius like himself joined the Sarutobi family, he would be a great asset to them.
