Chapter 47 On the Brink

At the uppermost part of the First Tier Great Waterfall, the water leaping 150 meters carved a Zen curve through the air, returning to the streams of Dahe Island. Located on the west side, atop a pine tree, two ninjas were observing the situation below with binoculars.

"Yamaoka, what made you become a ninja?" The stocky ninja in black and white attire asked after confirming that the situation was normal. The ninja beside him, dressed in brown attire, was called Yamaoka, who had until recently been working under Zuiyan.

"..." Yamaoka did not respond. The black and white clad ninja paused, then spoke apologetically, "I'm truly sorry, Controller-san. I was used to calling you that; please forgive me." He blamed himself inwardly, It's so rude! Even when speaking to a junior, one should not use their real name once they've been given a ninja name. It's like saying someone's childhood nickname in a public setting, which is behavior that could get someone ostracized from the village.
