The first team of students on the field formed a four-person squad and began displaying their taijutsu and the ninjutsu they had learned—naturally, the Three Body Technique.
They formed hand seals with practiced ease, either creating clones, transforming into others, or using a piece of wood as a substitute.
The Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, and Transformation Technique were performed skillfully, immediately drawing cheers from the entire hall.
Yang Ming nodded at the sight. The Three Body Technique was the most basic ninjutsu for a ninja, but also the most practical.
The Clone Technique could confuse enemies and create feints; the Substitution Technique could save one's life in a crisis; the Transformation Technique could alter one's appearance. Such was the unfathomable wonder of chakra.
Just as Yang Ming was enjoying the spectacle, a cold voice suddenly rang out beside him!
"Yuexia Ming, leave this place!"
Without even looking, Yang Ming knew who the voice belonged to.
"Teacher Hino Raku, why should I leave? I'm a student of this school too, so I have the right to be here. Besides, even as a villager, I have the right to watch from here, don't I?"
Yang Ming did not even raise his eyes. Ignoring her, he continued watching the field and replied calmly.
"I am the manager responsible for maintaining order at this event. I have the right to make you leave. If I tell you to leave, then you must leave!"
Hino Raku spoke forcefully. Seeing Yang Ming's indifferent attitude, she reached out to grab him.
"The manager responsible for maintaining order? First, I haven't disturbed the event. Second, I haven't shouted or made a scene. Third, I haven't caused trouble. Which rule have I broken? How have I disrupted order here? Name one, and you won't need to drive me away—I'll leave on my own!"
Yang Ming sneered, avoiding Hino Raku's grasp as he spoke coldly.
"Yuexia Ming, are you still going to keep making excuses? Do you want me to spell it out for you?"
Hearing this, Hino Raku gave a cold smile and looked at Yang Ming.
"As a student, you have the duty to take part in the school anniversary celebration. Everyone has been carefully preparing their performances, but you alone keep to yourself as though none of this concerns you. As the manager of order at this event, I have the authority to drive away students like you. As your teacher, I have even more right to make you leave! Yuexia Ming, what else do you have to say?"
"I have nothing to say."
Yang Ming smiled faintly at those words.
"Then get out of here!"
A glint of cold light flashed through Hino Raku's eyes. She reached directly for Yang Ming!
"I may have nothing to say, but that doesn't mean I'll leave. Let alone someone like you, no one has the qualifications to make me leave—not even the Grass Shadow standing before me!"
Yang Ming said coldly, waving a hand and brushing Hino Raku's hand aside.
"Good, very good, Yuexia Ming. It seems you still haven't figured out what kind of occasion this is. Are you really planning to cause trouble here?"
Hino Raku spoke coldly. She glanced at the time on the field, growing impatient.
"Things are different now. I'll give you ten breaths to leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Don't think this is like class. Perhaps my strength is limited and you don't take me seriously, but all around us are elite Grass Ninja I've stationed here. There are even quite a few chunin among them. Since you refuse to cooperate, I'll have no choice but to let them escort you out!"
With that, Hino Raku pointed in every direction. Ninja wearing forehead protectors stood stationed throughout the area, guarding the safety of the higher-ups and the Grass Shadow.
As the manager responsible for order at the event, Hino Raku had the temporary authority to mobilize them!
"How about it? Want me to mobilize them?"
Hino Raku shot Yang Ming a cold look and sneered.
