A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

Chapter 203

A tremendous repulsive force emanated from Yang Lei, not only neutralizing Danzo's attack but also causing a slight break in the Baku's suction, allowing Yang Lei to escape.

Fire Release.

After escaping the suction range of the Baku, Yang Lei, not to be outdone, used a ninjutsu, but instead of attacking Danzo, he aimed it at the Baku, forming hand seals and shouting: "Great Fire Dragon Technique".

"call."

A giant fire dragon, more than ten meters in diameter and several tens of meters long, suddenly appeared in the sky, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at the tapir. With the help of the wind, its speed increased significantly, and the fire continued to escalate, engulfing the tapir completely in flames in the blink of an eye.

"Ow."

Then the tapir let out a mournful scream, and could no longer cause Yang Lei any trouble. It didn't even have the chance to return to its original place of life. In the blink of an eye, it was burned to ashes.

"Such a powerful fire jutsu."

Although he had already experienced it, Danzo still couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. At the same time, his hands didn't stop moving. Having already completed the hand seals, he slammed his right hand on the ground and shouted, "Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

Because he received Hashirama Senju's cells, Danzo gained Wood Release chakra, meaning he could also use Wood Release ninjutsu.

However, Wood Release ninjutsu consumes too much chakra, and with the added strain of his thirteen Sharingan, he usually wouldn't dare to use it like this. Now, he truly had no other choice but to unleash his trump card, hoping to end the battle quickly and kill Yang Lei here.

"Wood Release?"

Yang Lei turned around, avoiding Danzo's gaze and not giving him a chance to use Kotoamatsukami. He slowly descended from mid-air to the ground, also forming hand seals, but his hand seals were much faster than Danzo's, completing them in an instant. He slammed his hands on the ground and shouted, "Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a giant wooden figure rose from the ground, its upper body adorned with five heads, and a large, square empty space behind it, allowing Yang Lei to leap forward and hide inside.

"Byakugan, activate. Sharingan, activate."

After entering the wooden dummy, Yang Lei turned off the Rinnegan and Tenseigan, and instead activated both the Byakugan and the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Tenseigan lacks the Byakugan's ability to see through objects, and the Rinnegan doesn't have the Mangekyou Sharingan's ability to fold space. At this point, Yang Lei wanted to rely on the Wooden Dummy Technique and Danzo's Kotoamatsukami as trump cards in his battle. The Byakugan and Sharingan's abilities are naturally better than the advanced versions.

"They're here."

Just as Yang Lei hid inside the wooden dummy, Danzo's attack began. Huge tree trunks suddenly sprouted rapidly from the severed tree roots, and long, thin vines quickly emerged from the trees around Yang Lei, wrapping around the wooden dummy.

Yang Lei also knew Wood Release, so he naturally knew that the effect of Advent of a World of Trees was not just to create a favorable environment for himself. Advent of a World of Trees was itself an offensive ninjutsu that could attack any enemy within the range of the ninjutsu. Once someone was entangled by these seemingly harmless vines, their chakra would be greatly absorbed.

Those with greater strength are better off; they should be able to break free when they discover this situation.

However, if someone's strength is below Chunin level, once they are entangled in the vines, they can forget about escaping alive. In the blink of an eye, they will be drained into a dried-up body and used as fuel for their jutsu to launch even stronger attacks against other enemies.

At this time, although the wooden golem also used Wood Release, it was not on the same side as the Tree World Descent at this time, and its chakra could be absorbed. Moreover, because the wooden golem was too big, about ten or twenty meters tall, it was quickly entangled and killed by a large number of vines.

"Give me back what you took."

Inside the wooden doll, Yang Lei felt more than a tenth of his chakra being quickly absorbed, while a large amount of chakra was still being slowly drawn away. Unfazed, he curled his lip and, with a thought, temporarily replaced the Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye with the Rinnegan. He then controlled the wooden doll and with a wave of his hand, absorbed a large amount of chakra back.

· ·····Requesting flowers· ·······

As mentioned earlier, the Wood Golem also uses Wood Release and has the ability to absorb chakra. With the addition of the Rinnegan's power, the mere Tree World Descent is no match for him.

"It's time to launch a counterattack."

Inside the wooden dummy, after retrieving his own chakra, Yang Lei shouted and controlled the dummy's movements. He first swept away the surrounding trees with a wave of his hand, then jumped high into the air with a powerful push off the ground, quickly crashing down into the distance.

"Oops."

Danzo cried out in alarm; he was within the range of the wooden figure's fall, making him practically the sole target.

"Wood Release: Giant Wood Pillar Technique".

Suddenly, Danzo made a snap decision and used a very low-level ninjutsu, using the large trees around him to create a huge wooden stake, just like Yamato once held up half of the Heaven and Earth Bridge in the original story, blocking the falling wooden figure in mid-air so that it could not fall.

... ...

"Wow, you handled it very well."

Yang Lei couldn't help but praise him, finding that the battle with Danzo was quite good, giving him many eye-opening inspirations, such as using Izanagi to perish together with the enemy, or using some inconspicuous little ninjutsu to achieve great effects. Although it wouldn't greatly improve his strength, it did broaden his thinking.

Unlike Yang Lei, Danzo was not relaxed and had no time to think about such things. At this moment, he was sweating profusely and extremely anxious. One of them was that his chakra was almost depleted, and the other was that he only had seven Sharingan left that could use Izanagi.

Now, not only has Yang Lei found a way to fight him in close combat, but his summoning beast, Baku, has also been burned to death. For Danzo, the situation is now extremely unfavorable.

"Danzo? What are you doing here?"

Just then, a person walked out from a distance. It was Asma, who had just separated from Yang Lei not long ago.

"Oops."

Yang Lei, inside the wooden dummy, exclaimed in surprise. He was so focused on killing Danzo that he hadn't paid attention to his surroundings even when he activated his Byakugan, and in his moment of carelessness, Asuma barged in.

"opportunity."

Unlike Yang Lei, Danzo's eyes lit up, and he dared not hesitate for a moment. He aimed his right eye at Asuma and used the Kotoamatsukami that he had been preparing for!

0190 Danzo Shimura, died

"Farewell God".

Danzo, nearing the end of his life, knew he could no longer hesitate. He had intended to fight to the death to protect the Mangekyou Sharingan from falling into the wrong hands. At this moment, he unleashed his full power on the bewildered Asuma.

"Uncle Asma?"

Chapter 204

Among the wooden figures, Yang Lei exclaimed in surprise. Asuma was one of the most important people in the Naruto world. You could say that, apart from Hinata, with whom he had already established a relationship, and Sakura, who was also in a relationship, Asuma was his most important family member.

But at this moment, he could only watch helplessly as Danzo subdued Asuma with Kotoamatsukami, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Illusions occur in the mental world and can be completed in an instant. Even if Yang Lei possessed a speed close to four times the speed of sound, he couldn't catch up, and nothing he did would make a difference.

"No."

Forcing himself to calm down, Yang Lei muttered to himself, "It's not like there's nothing I can do. My Kotoamatsukami should be able to restore Uncle Asma to his original state."

As Yang Lei thought this, his eyes were filled with murderous intent when he looked at Danzo again.

Now that Danzo had used Kotoamatsukami, Yang Lei no longer needed to hide inside the wooden dummy. With a thought, he gave the wooden dummy the order to intercept Asuma, while he himself charged towards Danzo.

All that could be seen on Yang Lei's face was a chilling murderous intent, mixed with a hint of regret.

With Yang Lei's current strength, he could have killed Danzo much faster. He didn't even have to use much of his power, not even the two Sage Modes, Reincarnation and Six Paths.

As for why Yang Lei chose to hold back, it wasn't out of a cat-and-mouse mentality. He had already learned a lesson back in the Land of Waves, and had already learned that even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. Moreover, Danzo was a dangerous tyrant with considerable skills, so he dared not really act recklessly.

Actually, Yang Lei wanted to force Danzo to use all the uses of Izanagi first, and then use the Tsukuyomi eye technique he got from Itachi to kill him instantly, so that he could get a Mangekyou Sharingan.

As for what use he would have for Shizuku's kaleidoscope, he can't change his own eyes, and his right eye has already been granted the power of Kotoamatsukami, hasn't it?

Even if he couldn't use it himself, he could still ask Itachi to exchange it for Shisui's left eye. At least he could get Itachi to take out Shisui's left eye and let him see it.

And as long as he glances at Shisui's left eye, he can obtain his two eyes from Kotoamatsukami.

Before he could corner Danzo, Asuma, who had already left, was drawn back by the commotion of the battle. He really made a fatal mistake.

"Danzo, I'm going to kill you."

At this moment, Yang Lei's eyes turned bloodshot. In an instant, he arrived in front of Danzo. With a swift motion of his right hand across his waist, he drew a three-foot-three-inch-long straight-bladed Kusanagi sword and swung it forward, cleaving Danzo in two.

Yang Lei attacked with great force, and his power was not to be underestimated. It was unclear what kind of chakra attribute he used, but he formed a long chakra blade on the Kusanagi sword, which not only cleaved Danzo in two, but also cut a long, thin gash in the ground behind him.

"Humph."

Danzo let out a muffled groan, and before a large amount of blood could splatter out, his body, which had been split in two, was restored to its original state. At the same time, another Sharingan on his right arm closed.

“Kill.”

Yang Lei wouldn't give him another chance. He shouted "Kill!" and wielded the Kusanagi sword with incredible speed, relentlessly slashing at Danzo, causing him to die and come back to life repeatedly. Danzo died several times in less than a minute. Finally, all the Sharingan eyes on his arm closed up, and he no longer had Izanagi to use.

"Hehehe."

Facing his impending death, Danzo showed no fear, only a slightly sinister sneer as he cursed Yang Lei, "You are a monster, but I guess monsters have hearts too, don't they?"

“I have already turned Asma into my loyal servant. Now you have killed me in front of him. I bet he will do everything in his power to avenge me when he gets back. I want to ask you, are you going to deal with Asma here, or let him go back to threaten your two girlfriends?”

Two girlfriends? Even the Third Hokage didn't know about Yang Lei and Xiao Ying's relationship. I didn't expect Danzo to know something about it. It has to be said that this guy has been able to contend with the Third Hokage for so long. He is indeed not to be underestimated.

Unfortunately, Danzo still failed to see the true terrifying nature of Yang Lei.

"You don't need to worry about that."

With a wave of his hand, Yang Lei first severed Danzo's limbs with his Kusanagi sword, then gouged out Shisui's right Mangekyou Sharingan, which had been temporarily shut down and was now completely gray. Only then did he feel relieved and whispered to Danzo, "What do you think my bloodline limit is?"

Upon hearing this, Danzo, who was gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, his face filled with despair and awaiting death, suddenly had a moment of lucidity before death. He insisted on not dying and stared intently at Yang Lei's mouth with his only left eye wide open.

Looking at Danzo in this state, Yang Lei suddenly broke into a bright smile and said, "Sorry, I'm not one of those idiotic villains in manga. I won't let you die in peace..."

"you."

Danzo never expected that even when he was on the verge of death, Yang Lei would still play tricks on him. He was so angry that he coughed up blood and finally died.

If Danzo hadn't used Kotoamatsukami on Asuma, Yang Lei wouldn't have minded letting him die peacefully. But Danzo did target someone he valued, so there was nothing he could do. Otherwise, Yang Lei would have wanted to grind Danzo's soul to dust as well, so why would he kindly let him die peacefully?

"Lord Danzo."

Looking over there, Asuma saw that Danzo was dead and couldn't help but let out a mournful howl, as if it wasn't Danzo who had died, but his own father, the third generation.

"Now, let's get back to the point."

Yang Lei turned around, transforming his right eye into Shisui's kaleidoscope, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It seems that even Uncle Asuma wasn't this agitated when the Third Hokage died in the original story, right? Could it be that he really is the kid from the old Shimura family next door?"

Shimura is Danzo's surname. Actually, Danzo's full name was Shimura Danzo. He was called Danzo because he didn't want readers to criticize him for padding the word count.

At this point, Yang Lei used the same joke as "the kid from the neighbor's house".

"Farewell God".

Seeing that Asuma was truly so grief-stricken by Danzo's death, Yang Lei dared not let him escape, nor did he dare let the wooden puppet hurt him. He quickly used Kotoamatsukami on Asuma.

"So this is the power of Kotoamatsukami 2.2."

In Yang Lei's mind, after Asma was afflicted by his Kotoamatsukami, it was as if he had become his puppet, and he could easily change Asma's thoughts and will at his whim.

"Let's restore it to normal, Uncle Asma."

Without much time to play, Yang Lei quickly helped Asma recover.

"Uh."

Asuma, who was about to rush in front of Yang Lei with his sword raised to avenge Danzo, suddenly paused, scratched his head awkwardly, and said very unnaturally, "I think I just had a dream?"

Yang Lei nodded, suppressing a laugh, and said, "That's right, it was a dream!"

(PS: Happy New Year! Give me a red envelope... Today is a new year and a new day. I wish everyone a smooth work life, a happy and healthy life, and all your wishes come true in the new year!!!)

Chapter 205

0191 On the road again!

Because when Yang Lei used Kotoamatsukami, he didn't use his own Kaleidoscope, but instead transformed his right eye into Shisui's Kaleidoscope. Therefore, the side effects of Kotoamatsukami did not affect him; only Shisui's Kaleidoscope was temporarily unusable.

After using Kotoamatsukami normally, the Mangekyou Sharingan will be forcibly shut down, just like the Sharingan after using Izanagi and Izanami.

But Yang Lei is different. His own kaleidoscope doesn't have Kotoamatsukami, nor Itachi's Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, but rather two other eye techniques.

At this moment, he had only temporarily switched the state of his eyes. If he wanted to use Itachi's Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, he would have to switch to Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan.

"It seems I'll have to work on my pupil techniques when I have time."

As Yang Lei wandered through the forest, an idea suddenly popped into his head: could he merge all the pupil techniques into one, so that he wouldn't have to switch back and forth when he needed to use a particular pupil technique in the future, even though the switching speed would be very fast and convenient?

Currently, Yang Lei has eight types of eye techniques: Byakugan, his own Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan and Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, Rinnegan, Tenseigan, Red Eye, and the most overpowered Mikiko Eye.

Of these, only the Eye of the Mirror (16) will not conflict with other eye techniques, because the Eye of the Mirror is his own eyes. So no matter what eye technique he switches to, they can all work together, unless he changes his eyes.

Other eye techniques are different; at most, he can only open two, but not three, four, or even all at once.

In particular, although the Rinnegan and Tenseigan are evolved versions of the Byakugan and Sharingan, there are times when the Rinnegan and Tenseigan cannot achieve the same effects as the Byakugan and Sharingan.

This left Yang Lei helpless; he could only switch between different pupil techniques and choose which one to use based on his needs.

Is it possible to fuse all the pupil techniques together?

Just like Sasuke in the original work, with the help of the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Yuuki, he was able to awaken the Rinne Sharingan in one of his eyes.

This is something that Yang Lei cares about a lot. If he can combine the seven pupil techniques other than the Eye of Seeing the Ancients into one, it will be much more convenient when fighting.

"Then, let's call it White. Rinne Rebirth Sharingan?"

The project was barely started, and Yang Lei was already thinking of a name. It's quite astonishing.
