Grass Shadow's Inspection Tour

"Assassination, strategy, teamwork, and so on are all incredibly important. Yuexia Ming may have some ability, but that's all. He always acts alone. Even if Lord Grass Shadow values his strength, would he really let someone like that join the ANBU? Future missions will be carried out in squads. No matter how strong Yuexia Ming is, how could he compare to the strength of everyone working together?"

Fujishima Jun nodded as well and looked at Gui Wenda.

"That's right. To become a true ninja, you can't just charge around alone. You won't be able to complete missions that way. Yuexia Ming is too solitary. No matter how strong one person is, if they fall short in other areas, they'll only become a burden. Lord Grass Shadow would never value someone like that."

At that moment, Chang Jiaye, who rarely spoke, also opened her mouth.

"Even you're saying that?"

Hearing Chang Jiaye actually take the initiative to speak, Gui Wenda and the other two could not help but be startled.

The sun had risen in the west!

There were now two people in the class, Yuexia Ming and Chang Jiaye. Both sat in the last row, both silent and indifferent, immersed in their own worlds.

The others called them the class's two biggest oddballs.

But now, it seemed there was only one oddball. Chang Jiaye was relatively normal after all.

"I think the four of us can form a squad. When Lord Grass Shadow arrives, we can show off our strength and make him take notice!"

Chang Jiaye continued, ignoring the astonished looks of the three. With Grass Shadow's arrival approaching, she had decided to take the initiative!

"Alright!"

The three exchanged glances and immediately agreed.

Gui Wenda nodded as well, having no objections.

"Grass Shadow is coming to inspect the school?"

After leaving the library, Yang Ming went to class to check in and occasionally listen to a lesson. He immediately heard this news.

His heart stirred.

Grass Shadow is coming? No wonder these people are so excited. But what does that have to do with me? I just need to find the Crystal Phoenix Fruit as soon as possible and collect it. Once I have the advanced Sage Body, advanced Monstrous Strength, and those three Wood Release ninjutsu, I'll basically be able to run rampant through the ninja world. I'd even have the power to fight a Kage-level expert!

Yang Ming then shook his head, completely unconcerned about the matter.

After listening for a while, Yang Ming found there was nothing worth hearing. He left the classroom and continued toward the library.

Hino Raku could only feel helpless at the sight. In the ninja world, strength was king. Yang Ming had proven his capabilities with his strength, and she had already said as much before.

The others sneered as well, but none of them acted on it.

Even the teacher had no objections, so what objections could they have?

Still, more and more people found Yang Ming's independent behavior displeasing.

That afternoon, Grass Shadow Asao Jun brought Shui Daiyi and the others to the ninja school. The entire school was stirred up, and all the students came out to greet them.

To assess everyone's strength, Hino Raku held squad battles.

Everyone formed their own teams and displayed their strengths for Grass Shadow to judge!

At once, everyone became fired up and formed teams one after another.

"First group..."

Meanwhile, Hino Raku organized the teams. After announcing the rules, the battles began!

Everyone immediately formed teams and started fighting.

On the sparring grounds, they traded blows, with victories and defeats on both sides. Though they were all still young, they were clearly quite mature and had learned many things. They had mastered the basic Three Body Technique and fought one another.

However, four people stood out the most!

They practically swept through the competition, crushing the other teams into defeat.
