Mita Taisei

No wonder he had sought out Yang Ming!

Looking across the entire village, Yang Ming was probably the only one who could help him—and might be willing to.

"Alright!"

With that thought, Yang Ming nodded.

Whether it was Flamewarm Grass or not, he had to make this trip.

If it was, all the better. If not, it did not matter.

Besides, he was curious about whoever had dared to fight the Grass Ninja over something.

The back mountain outside the village was no longer under the jurisdiction of Grass Ninja Village, but it was not far from the Grass Ninja. Anyone who dared to clash with them here was clearly no ordinary person.

Since arriving in the ninja world, this was Yang Ming's first time seeing people other than the Grass Ninja!

Chong Chunyi led the way, and the two of them left the village and raced toward the back mountain!

About ten minutes later, they arrived at the back mountain. Several medical ninja from Grass Ninja Village stood in the rear, treating the injured Grass Ninja, while several of Chong Chunyi's subordinates whom Yang Ming had seen before were confronting several middle-aged men dressed as rogue ninja.

There were even samurai among them!

Yang Ming immediately understood. No wonder Chong Chunyi had not been a match for them.

A genin versus a samurai was basically guaranteed defeat!

However, they had not dealt any killing blows, clearly aware that the Grass Ninja were not to be provoked!

At that moment, they were all gathered around the center of the field, where a ten-square-meter patch of grass lay. The grass growing there was what Chong Chunyi had said they were fighting over!

"Is this it?"

Yang Ming looked over, disappointment appearing on his face.

It clearly was not Flamewarm Grass, only an unusual medicinal herb!

There were plenty of such herbs in the ninja world.

"Chong Chunyi, this is the helper you found? A five-year-old child? Has Grass Ninja Village run out of people?"

Just then, a red-robed rogue ninja looked at the arriving Yang Ming and could not help laughing mockingly.

He looked at Chong Chunyi, clearly recognizing him.

"Komori Taisei, do you know what you're doing? This isn't your Skywave Land. You crossed the border without permission and came near my Grass Ninja Village. Aren't you afraid Lord Grass Shadow will wipe out your little village?"

Chong Chunyi sneered and shot back without yielding.

"Haha, Chong Chunyi, who the hell do you think you are? Can you speak for the Grass Shadow? If the Grass Shadow were here, I'd naturally admit defeat and leave at once. But unfortunately, you're not the Grass Shadow. Besides, this is already outside Grass Ninja Village. Even if the Grass Shadow came in person, we'd still settle this with strength. Stop trying to use the Grass Shadow to pressure me!"

Komori Taisei burst into laughter, showing no fear whatsoever as he looked at Chong Chunyi!

Skywave Land was a small village formed by rogue ninja and was quite famous in the Kingdom of Grass. Komori Taisei was Skywave Land's leader!

"How dare you!"

Chong Chunyi flew into a rage and was about to make his move!

"Enough! Shut up, both of you! Have you forgotten our earlier agreement?"

At that moment, a blue-clad elder around fifty bellowed. Both men immediately fell silent, looking at the elder with wary expressions.

Even Chong Chunyi was no exception.

"Among ninja, strength commands respect. This place is indeed outside the Grass Ninja's territory. Since both sides discovered it at the same time, we will decide it by strength, as we agreed before. Even if the Grass Shadow were here in person, I believe that would be his view as well."

The elder spoke.

The elder possessed an imposing presence without showing any anger. Komori Taisei sneered and said no more, while Chong Chunyi cupped his hands toward the elder respectfully.

"Yes, Mr. Mita!"

Chong Chunyi then nodded at Yang Ming, and the group moved to one side.

Komori Taisei also gathered his people together. The two sides faced off, while the blue-robed elder, Mita Taisei, acted as the referee!
