What, You Compared Him to Kakashi

"These are things you'll have to get used to sooner or later. Lord Asao thinks highly of you and sees you as the hope for Grass Ninja Village's future rise. Yuexia, I'm counting on you!"

Looking at Yang Ming, Shui Daiyi bowed deeply to him!

"The hope for its future rise?"

Hearing this, Yang Ming smiled but said nothing.

He had still underestimated him. Ever since obtaining the system, his sights had long been set on the entire ninja world. A mere Grass Ninja Village could not possibly restrain him.

Led by Shui Daiyi, the two arrived at a luxurious courtyard!

This was the residence of the Grass Shadow!

As the Grass Shadow, Asao Jun's residence was naturally far from ordinary!

Luxury showed everywhere!

In the spacious courtyard, Asao Jun wore a stern expression as he scolded an eleven- or twelve-year-old girl!

The girl was graceful and slender. Though still so young, she already showed signs of growing into a beauty!

Yet she lowered her head in grievance, allowing Asao Jun to scold her!

At that moment, Asao Jun saw Yang Ming arrive. His expression immediately changed, becoming much gentler, even somewhat courteous!

He greeted him with a smile!

"Yuexia, you're here!"

He actually treated Yang Ming as an equal, without putting on the airs of a village Shadow. Shui Daiyi and the little girl were both stunned!

"Lord Grass Shadow!"

Yang Ming neither fawned nor acted arrogantly as he cupped his hands in greeting.

"Come, come. Don't stand on ceremony. Sit wherever you like."

Asao Jun smiled, completely forgetting how he had just scolded the little girl, and warmly received Yang Ming.

Yang Ming did not stand on ceremony either!

He sat down directly.

Then, as though chatting about everyday matters, Asao Jun casually spoke with Yang Ming. He displayed none of the majesty of a village Shadow; instead, he seemed more like an elder showing concern for a junior.

Yang Ming spoke eloquently as well. Facing a village Shadow, he showed no panic whatsoever.

His calm expression made Shui Daiyi secretly give him a thumbs-up!

After chatting for a while and confirming the matter of attending the Ninja Academy, Yang Ming declined Asao Jun's offer to stay and left.

The moment Yang Ming departed, the little girl, who had held herself back for so long, could no longer endure it. Looking at his retreating figure, she complained!

"Grandpa, you're way too biased! You're so fierce with me, but why are you so polite to that little brat? He looks like he's only five!"

"If you had talent and potential like his, I would naturally treat you the same way!"

Asao Jun showed no mercy, glaring sternly at the little girl.

"Talent and potential like his? Grandpa, you're joking, right? What talent could a five-year-old brat possibly have? He probably can't even refine chakra yet!"

The little girl was confused.

"Miss Asao, it's like this!"

Seeing this, Shui Daiyi hurriedly explained.

"Yuexia Ming is no ordinary person. Just earlier, Chong Chunyi brought more than a dozen people to cause him trouble, but Yuexia Ming easily defeated them with taijutsu. Chong Chunyi did not even have time to form hand seals and cast a ninjutsu in front of him!"

"Chong Chunyi? The strongest person in our class?"

Hearing that name, the little girl's expression changed. Her face was full of disbelief!

"You're saying that little brat named Yuexia Ming just defeated Chong Chunyi?"

"You're not joking, are you?"

"Miss Asao, watch your words!"

Hearing the little girl refer to Yang Ming that way, Shui Daiyi's expression could not help changing.

"In the ninja world, the strong are respected and the weak are prey to the strong. You must change that habit of yours in the future. Yuexia Ming has limitless prospects and is the future hope of Grass Ninja Village. He is like Kakashi of Konoha. That is why Lord Asao is so courteous to him, showing no airs at all and giving a strong person the respect he deserves. Never look down on him just because he is a child!"

"What? You compared him to Kakashi of Konoha?"
