C4 Don't Worry If I Say Yes Then Yes!

As Yang Ming observed the astonishment on their faces, he offered an explanation.

"Innate divine strength—a natural gift. I never imagined that, aside from that individual in Konoha, there would be another with such a gift. Excellent, truly excellent!"

Upon hearing this, the elder nodded, his face beaming with delight as he gazed at Yang Ming. His expression resembled someone who had just discovered a rare and precious gem.

"Such exceptional talent! And this power—it's truly frightening, especially considering his youth. If he were to grow up, wouldn't he be even more formidable than that one?"

Mizushiro Tsubasa was visibly shaken as he stared at Yang Ming, his disbelief reaching its peak.

He could nearly envision a future where Yang Ming would undoubtedly make a name for himself in the Ninja World.

And to think, he was only five years old. The potential for his growth was unfathomable!

"Very well, Gekka Ming, is it? Would you be interested in becoming a Ninja?"

The old man inquired at that moment.

"Becoming a Ninja?"

A spark of excitement flickered in Yang Ming's heart as he nodded and replied,

"Of course, I'd like to become a Ninja—to protect the village. Sadly, I failed the test and don't qualify to attend Ninja School."

Yang Ming's face fell as he finished speaking.

The Grass Ninja might not compare to a great nation like Konoha, but they too had their own Ninja School to cultivate talent and teach knowledge, albeit a modest one.

"If I say it's possible, then it is. Tomorrow afternoon, come to my place for the certificate."

The elder dismissed the concern with a casual wave of his hand.

"Your place?"

Yang Ming asked, puzzled.

"There's no need for suspicion, nor for too many questions. Tomorrow, Mizushiro will come to fetch you."

The elder spoke with a calm authority that brooked no argument. With that, he departed, leaving no room for Yang Ming to refuse.

"These two..."

Yang Ming pondered as they walked away.

Judging by their demeanor and power, they must be important figures in the village, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly who they were.

After all, in his past life, his knowledge of the Grass Ninja was limited to White Zetsu and Black Zetsu.

"Even though I've unlocked the Beginner Immortal Body and Strange Strength, my current power is on par with an Elite Ninja. But that level of power is nowhere near sufficient. In the later stages of being a Hokage, all sorts of external powers are rampant. Just being an Elite Ninja, or even a regular Shadow Level, won't cut it. To achieve what I desire, I need to possess overwhelming strength that can dictate everything!" Yang Ming murmured to himself.

Having completed the system's task, I've only managed to unlock a mere tenth of my potential. The next challenges, unlocking the Intermediate Immortal Body and Advanced Strange Strength, hinge on completing more missions.

"Mission Requirement: Gain an understanding of the Ninja World's history and master the evolution of Ninja Techniques."

With that in mind, it seems I have no choice but to enroll in Ninja School.

Yang Ming couldn't help but feel exasperated at the thought.

The system's initial task was to meditate in silence for a full day and night, which led to the unlocking of the Beginner Immortal Body and Strange Strength. Only after this day could I see the next task, which demanded a thorough knowledge of the Ninja World's history and its techniques' transformations.

It was clear that I needed to educate myself and get a grip on the broader picture.

And so, it seems I must head to Ninja School for my studies.

"If that elder said as much, I'll take him at his word for now. I'll remain here in the orphanage and wait for him to come to me," Yang Ming said quietly, making his way back to the orphanage.

The orphanage's sleeping quarters were a large dormitory, where all the orphans bunked together.

Upon Yang Ming's return, the testing had concluded, and the majority wore expressions of disappointment. Clearly, many had either failed the test or were discontent with their results.

One by one, they dashed outside to let off steam, knowing that missing this chance could very well determine the course of their future lives.
