A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

The main body then rushed forward, raised its chin, and shouted, "Are you two still capable?"

"Double, Thunder Plow, Hot Blade."

From afar came the responses of the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee.

"Whoosh."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the two men rushed back from the left and right, arriving in front of Yang Lei in the blink of an eye. Their arms were crossed, ready to deliver a heavy blow to Yang Lei.

"Too slow."

Yang Lei complained about the speed of the two, and in an instant, he disappeared from his original spot and appeared behind Raikage.

There was a Flying Thunder God Technique seal on the back of the Raikage's head, which Yang Lei had secretly left when he slapped him earlier. Even though the Raikage and Killer Bee increased their speed to the limit, they could not hurt him and he easily dodged it.

The Raikage and Killer Bee were already incredibly fast, even exceeding the speed of sound. Otherwise, this kind of technique would be utterly idiotic for a ninja. Think about it, any ninja could easily dodge it with a substitution jutsu, right? 243

But they are too fast. Ordinary people can't react at all. In the blink of an eye, they will be right in front of you, and there will be no chance to form hand seals.

Yang Lei is no ordinary person; he is an extraordinary individual. His activated eye technique allows him to easily see all of the Raikage and Killer Bee's movements, and his own speed is also able to keep up with theirs. Therefore, he was able to form hand seals in time to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to get behind the Raikage. His purpose was not only to evade but also to take advantage of the situation to launch an attack.

"Take a kick from me."

Yang Lei deliberately called out and kicked Lei Ying in the lower back, greatly increasing his speed and sending him flying into the distance.

"Whoosh."

Just then, Killer Bee launched an attack. Although he couldn't twist his body around yet, don't forget that he is a Jinchūriki and is still in Tailed Beast Mode. He flicked out several red chakra tails and lashed them at Yang Lei.

"Boom."

Yang Lei neither dodged nor evaded, but instead used Tailed Beast Mode to condense a chakra cloak around his body and blocked Killer Bee's attack with a raised hand.

However, Yang Lei's Tailed Beast Mode is different from Killer Bee's. Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Mode is a red chakra cloak, while Yang Lei's is golden.

Not only is the color different, but Yang Lei's chakra cloak is like a real set of clothes. He doesn't have a tail, and his golden clothes have black lines that draw magical patterns on his body.

Even Killer Bee didn't recognize it as a Tailed Beast Mode at first. It was the Eight-Tails Gyūki that exclaimed in surprise. It not only sensed the chakra of the One-Tail Shukaku, the Two-Tail Matatabi, the Three-Tail Isobu, the Six-Tail Saiken, and the Nine-Tail Kurama on Yang Lei, but it also had its own chakra characteristics. How could this be?

"Is he also a Jinchūriki of a Tailed Beast?"

Killer Bee was stunned for a moment, and then Yang Lei kicked him away.

"Getting distracted in battle? That's not a good habit."

Yang Lei, who was behind, said with a smile, then turned around and glanced at his clones. Seeing that they were just dealing with them casually and did not intend to go all out, he felt relieved and continued to chase after them.

"That damn brat."

Raikage got up from the ground, rubbed his lower back, and cursed angrily with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He's not young anymore, he's over forty, how could he possibly have the waist of a young person?

Furthermore, this was Yang Lei's second attack on his waist, and each time it was more intense than the last. He even doubted whether he could withstand Yang Lei's third attack.

"Even the Lightning Release armor couldn't stop his attack?"

Instead of launching another attack, Raikage's face was full of deep thought as he tried to find the best way to deal with Yang Lei.

But no way! This is the first time I've seen him in person. Besides, Yang Lei has only recently risen to prominence. I had no idea who he was before, so how could I possibly have any information about him? I'm so desperate, but I don't know how to deal with him.

"Boss."

At this moment, Killer Bee, who had also been kicked away, got up and gestured to the Raikage from a distance, seemingly trying to express something, before shouting, "I'll go first, you watch your chance."

After saying that, Killer Bee turned around and rushed back. Just then, Yang Lei was also walking in this direction, and the two bumped into each other and started fighting halfway there.

What timing should I pay attention to?

The Raikage stood there, still deep in thought. But unlike before when he was thinking about how to deal with Yang Lei, he was now pondering the meaning behind Killer Bee's gestures.

Killer Bee's ideas are so bizarre that others simply can't understand them. To put it another way, this guy isn't a normal person, and how could a normal person possibly know what he's going to do?

For example, at this moment, Raikage was thinking that if it were according to normal human thinking, Killer Bee would definitely want to hold off Yang Lei so that he could find an opportunity to deliver the final blow.

However, even though only two gestures would have been enough, Killer Bee went on and on with a whole bunch of them, which made the Raikage hesitant to draw any conclusions.

Chapter 232

So, what exactly does Killer Bee mean?

It must be said that the Raikage and Killer Bee have a really good relationship. He subconsciously guessed Killer Bee's true meaning, but he didn't dare to draw a conclusion because Killer Bee was making too many gestures.

As for why Killer Bee made so many gestures, it's because he wasn't familiar with the coded gestures of Kumogakure, so he made several mistakes and then corrected them several times. That's the real reason.

"Come quick!"

Meanwhile, seeing the Fourth Raikage struggling to find the right moment, Killer Bee was about to give up. Yang Lei's attacks were too sharp, and he was no match for him. He could only shout for help: "Stop looking for the right moment, come and help me!"

"Find the right opportunity?"

The Raikage rushed over with a black line on his forehead, thinking to himself, "What opportunity am I looking for? I've been trying to figure out what those gestures you just made meant."

The Raikage was incredibly fast, returning to the battlefield in the blink of an eye. He and Killer Bee surrounded Yang Lei, and the three of them engaged in a fierce and chaotic battle.

"Bang bang."

After a few rounds, Yang Lei seized an opportunity to circle around behind Killer Bee and kicked him away again with two flying kicks.

"Oops."

Lei Ying gasped inwardly. If the two of them couldn't defeat Yang Lei, he would be even less capable on his own. He quickly straightened his arms and said, "Kid, don't go too far. Consider this a win for you. If we continue, I'll have to use my real skills."

The three of them had great chemistry. Whether it was the hot-tempered Raikage, the unreliable Killer Bee, or Yang Lei, none of them used any techniques other than taijutsu, so it didn't seem like a real fight. That's why the Raikage called it a contest.

Yang Lei indeed didn't pursue further, not because he was afraid of Lei Ying's so-called real skills, but because he asked, "So, have you submitted yet?"

Lei Ying was furious again.

"You damn brat, I'm not done with you yet!"

0214 The battle is over!

The Fourth Raikage had originally planned to say a few kind words and call it a day. He could tell that Yang Lei had no hostile intentions, otherwise the Cloud Ninjas over there wouldn't still be fighting in a chaotic mess; they would have been wiped out long ago.

Even he and Killer Bee shouldn't have just been beaten up; they should have drawn their swords and fought to the death long ago.

So, he really wanted to let it go and then find an opportunity to talk about whether he could bring this kid in.

But to everyone's surprise, Yang Lei was so ungrateful that he insisted on pushing the conversation into a corner, which really infuriated him.

He is the Raikage of Kumogakure, one of the five great hidden villages of the Land of Lightning, and even if he can't beat you, he won't admit defeat.

"Kid, you really don't know what's good for you. Come on, let's have a real fight - another round."

The Raikage roared, and a massive burst of lightning-attribute chakra erupted from his body once more. This time, he wouldn't fight recklessly like before; he was truly going to fight to the death.

"If it really comes down to a fight, you'll be no match for me."

Yang Lei laughed and, with a flick of his wrist, drained the Raikage's chakra from a great distance.

"what?"

Raikage was startled, his body swayed and his legs went weak, almost causing him to fall to the ground. He looked at Yang Lei with astonishment. If he could remotely extract chakra from others, who in the world could be his opponent?

"Boss?"

Meanwhile, Killer Bee rushed back and saw that the Raikage's face had suddenly turned pale. He quickly rushed forward and spread his arms to protect the Raikage. Staring at Yang Lei, his eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, revealed a serious expression as he asked, "Boy, who are you? What brings you to our Hidden Cloud Village?"

He could tell that Yang Lei no longer harbored any hostility, so he remained relatively polite.

"My name is Yang Lei."

Yang Lei introduced himself, pointed at the Raikage behind Killer Bee, and said without any politeness, "My purpose in coming to Kumogakure today is very simple: I want to beat him up."

Before Killer Bee could ask any more questions, Yang Lei recounted how the three great ninja villages forced him to leave Konoha, and how Danzo ambushed and framed him on the way, making Killer Bee's expression increasingly strange.

"Boss, what you guys did was really not very ethical."

Half a minute later, Killer Bee couldn't help but turn to the Raikage and complain.

That's true. Yang Lei was only twelve years old and hadn't done anything heinous or offended the three great ninja villages. Yet, he was targeted simply because of his exceptional talent. They took advantage of the turmoil that Konoha had just experienced to bully him. That was really unethical.

"What do you know?"

The Raikage glared at Killer Bee with wide eyes and scolded, "Do you think I want to bear this infamy? It's just that his reputation for the Rinnegan is too great, and with Akatsuki people acting as intermediaries, I figured it was just a matter of issuing a statement, and it wouldn't require much effort, so I gave it a try."

"In the end, it was Konoha that couldn't withstand the pressure. Before the statements of our three great ninja villages could even be made public, they were already in trouble."

Raikage spoke with such self-righteousness, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

But he was still self-righteous, even though Konoha sent Yang Lei away only after the statement from the three great ninja villages was released, because everything he did was for Kumogakure. As the Raikage of Kumogakure, how could he feel guilty?

"Why are you blaming me instead of you?"

Yang Lei got impatient, thinking to himself, "If you keep nagging like this, then this is never going to end. If I get angry, you won't have a good time either." He glared at him with wide eyes, practically ready to roll up his sleeves and have another one-on-one match with him.

"That thing."

Just then, the battle on the other side finally ended. Dozens of Cloud Ninjas lay on the ground, groaning in pain. Among them were two of Yang Lei's clones, who looked over and asked, "Is there anything else? If not, we're going back to rest."

"Let's go back."

The main body nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he recalled the two clones. He looked at Killer Bee and the Raikage again. Because of the clones' interruption, his attitude was no longer confrontational. He said to the Raikage, "Damn old man, as long as you apologize to me, I can forgive what your Hidden Cloud Village did before, and then we can sit down and talk about an alliance, how about it?"

"An alliance?"

Instead of addressing the apology, the Raikage was drawn to the word "alliance" and quickly asked, "What? Is your Konoha Village planning to start the Fourth Shinobi World War?"

Chapter 233

"Stop fooling around."

Yang Lei quickly waved his hand in denial, saying, "I've become an S-rank rogue ninja, but I can't represent Konoha Village."

"So," Raikage continued, "you're planning to join forces with us to take revenge on Konoha?"

· ·····Requesting flowers··· ····

It's no wonder the Raikage had the same idea as Mei Terumi. Mei Terumi initially thought that Yang Lei's so-called alliance was to attack Konoha Village, but the truth is that Yang Lei never resented Konoha Village at all, and he always considered the overall situation.

The "big picture" he's referring to isn't the Fourth Shinobi World War. With Yang Lei's current strength, the so-called Fourth Shinobi World War no longer poses a threat to him. His overall vision is world peace as his ultimate ideal.

Although Yang Lei has not experienced the suffering brought by war, he knows the plot and does not want the world to continue to be distorted. If he can make the world he loves peaceful, it would be a great achievement.

Anyway, this doesn't conflict with his mission or ideas, so let's give it a try. It's all just a side thing. As the saying goes, if it succeeds, I'm lucky; if it doesn't, it doesn't matter.

.... ......... ...

"No, it's a different kind of alliance. It's not convenient to talk here. Can we find a more private place?"

When it comes to important matters, Yang Lei no longer gets bothered by trivial matters, no longer demands that Lei Ying apologize or submit to him, and wants to find a more secret place to have a proper discussion about the alliance.

"Come with me."

The Raikage turned around and led the way toward the Raikage Building.

Since Yang Lei hasn't gone all out yet, and the dozens of Cloud Ninja over there aren't in much trouble either, it means he really has a plan. Why would he go through all that trouble to trick him into going to a secluded place before making his move?

Everyone saw him walking with Yang Lei. If they were really in a secluded place, Yang Lei would probably be the one who least wanted him to get into trouble, otherwise he would have to take the blame for assassinating Lei Ying.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, on a deserted island within the Land of Water, inside a large cave, Xiao Xinggao was not returning to his previous base, but instead sealing the two tailed beasts he had captured.

While using the Nine-Tailed Dragon Seal, one can speak. At this moment, Uchiha Madara, standing at the head of the table, said, "We have obtained the two tailed beasts. After completing the sealing, I will be busy for a while. You guys continue to go outside and capture tailed beasts. It would be best if you could capture three more. Then, the speed at which the White Zetsu awakens will be much faster."

"The Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails are harder to capture, so it's best to start with the One-Tails. Since the Two-Tails is in Kumogakure, let's make the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Seven-Tails our second targets!"

0215 Alliance Matters, Heavenly Gift Technique

In the Raikage's office, only Yang Lei and the Fourth Raikage were sitting facing each other on either side of the desk; there was no one else around.

"Tell me, what do you mean by this alliance?"

Lei Ying looked at Yang Lei and asked, getting straight to the point without any beating around the bush.

That's how it is.

Yang Lei delivered his prepared remarks, saying, "I have received some inaccurate information. The Fourth Shinobi World War is likely to be coming soon. At that time, it will no longer be a war between countries or between shinobi villages. It will evolve into a situation where the forces of the whole world join forces to fight against the enemy."

"I hope that Cloud Village will not cause any unforeseen complications, and it would be best if it could even facilitate the formation of the alliance."

Unlike Wuyin Village, Yang Lei was more assertive when negotiating terms because he had done a favor for Wuyin Village, and the terms were agreed upon before the plan was implemented.

But now it's different. Yang Lei's tone is more tactful, more like a suggestion than a demand.

"Oh?"
