Two days passed in a row.
During those two days, Ye Fan did not see that female ANBU ninja again.
He did not even discover any other watchers.
Ye Fan was not surprised by this result.
What truly surprised him was that Hanabi Hyuga had not come to see him during those two days.
Logically, that little girl should have encountered many problems.
Especially since she had only just reached the first realm of Thousand Mechanisms Pull. No matter how exceptional Hanabi Hyuga's talent was, she could not have fully comprehended it.
Besides, when Ye Fan had taught her the New Gentle Fist, he had not explained anything too profound to Hanabi Hyuga.
First, because the time was not right yet.
Second, because he was afraid of interfering with Hanabi Hyuga.
"Could Hanabi have run into some trouble?"
With that thought in mind, Ye Fan decided to visit the Ninja Academy and take a look.
Riding his Ninja Hound, Ye Fan arrived at the Ninja Academy, only to learn from Iruka that Hanabi Hyuga had already withdrawn from school.
"Hanabi withdrew from school?" Ye Fan looked shocked. "Why?"
Iruka explained:
"When Hanabi was sent to the Ninja Academy, it was only so she could experience school life. She was never meant to study here for long. Besides, you know that her strength already far surpasses that of ordinary Genin. Keeping her here would only be a waste of time for her."
Hearing this explanation, Ye Fan frowned.
"No, this definitely wasn't Hanabi's own decision!"
Perhaps Hanabi Hyuga truly could not learn anything at the Ninja Academy, and perhaps she even found it boring. But precisely because she was at the Ninja Academy, she could study the New Gentle Fist under Ye Fan.
"Looks like this is the Hokage's doing again."
