C14 The Dream of Millions of Girls in the Ninja World!

The little girl's face was a picture of astonishment; she simply couldn't believe what her ears had picked up.

Kakashi—who was he?

The foremost genius of Konoha Village, located in the Fire Country, which leads the five great nations of the Ninja World!

A prodigious talent who reached the rank of Elite Ninja by age twelve!

His father was the renowned Konoha White Fang, a man of Shadow Level prowess!

A single short blade that had made its mark throughout the Ninja World!

Kakashi's strength was formidable. His performance during the Second Ninja War was so remarkable that he earned the moniker of the Copy Ninja.

Nowadays, who in the Ninja World isn't aware of the famed technician of Konoha, the Copy Ninja Kakashi?

Such a legendary figure was the dream of countless young girls in the Ninja World. And with the Grass Country so close to the Fire Country, who wouldn't recognize his name?

And now, Mizushiro Tsubasa was comparing that little rascal to Kakashi?

The little girl was incredulous, feeling as if her entire understanding of the world had been turned upside down!

"It's more than that," Mizushiro Tsubasa marveled. "I sense an immense Chakra in Mr. Gekka. If we're not mistaken, this individual might possess exceptional talent, far surpassing Kakashi. His current Chakra level could very well be that of an Elite Ninja. With just a bit of guidance, he could become one—an Elite Ninja at the tender age of five!"

Mizushiro Tsubasa was in awe.

He turned to Masanori Suzuhara.

As a sensory-type ninja, they had analyzed the situation upon their return and quickly realized that Yang Ming's Chakra might be at an Elite Ninja level!

Though it was solely Chakra, with everything else still at the starting point, it was nonetheless astonishing.

A five-year-old Elite Ninja?

Such talent was terrifying. It could very well send shockwaves throughout the entire Ninja World!

Not even the mythical Ninja Gods like Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara could have boasted such a level of Chakra at five years old!

The two of them managed to contain their amazement, but after witnessing Yang Ming effortlessly overpower Chu Koichi and his peers, their suspicions were confirmed.

Their initial intent to recruit had evolved into recognizing an equal, marking a complete shift in their approach.

"Not bad at all. Why else would I, the esteemed Grass Kage, extend such courtesy to a mere child? A Kage must uphold their dignity; it's not about me being polite, but rather recognizing his remarkable strength and potential. With just a bit of guidance, he could become a force that reverberates throughout the entire Ninja World. My rise, and that of the Grass Ninja, could very well hinge on him, elevating us to the stature of the five great nations."

Masanori Falcon declared with a hint of pride.

The Grass Kage's dignity was unwavering, no matter who stood before him.

"Gekka Ming is that formidable?"

The little girl was incredulous, as if she were grappling with a concept beyond her comprehension.

"It may seem inconceivable, but it's the truth. The future glory of my Grass Ninja could well depend on this individual. Do you grasp what I'm saying?"

Masanori Falcon fixed the little girl with a stern gaze.

"Yes, Grandfather, I understand," she replied, her heart quaking slightly at the rare gravity in Masanori Falcon's expression. She realized that the fate of the Grass Ninja might just rest on the shoulders of that boy.

If Masanori Falcon's words held truth, then the entirety of the Ninja World could be set to tremble!

...

"Truly fitting for a village's Kage to discern my value so swiftly. But I am indeed worthy of such recognition!"

After departing from the Grass Kage's residence, Yang Ming made his way toward the orphanage.

He mulled over his recent encounter with Masanori Falcon, the Grass Kage, noting the stark contrast in his demeanor from before. It was clear to Yang Ming that Masanori Falcon had likely deduced his worth; after all, why else would such a distinguished figure treat him with such deference?

Yet, Yang Ming remained unfazed.

In the Ninja World, strength commanded respect, and his abilities and innate talent justified the honor bestowed upon him.

But Yang Ming's ambitions were not confined to the borders of the Grass Country.
