This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 221 Xiaopai Construction Team

The next morning, the thin mist over the capital of the Land of Fire had not yet dissipated.

At the city gate, several guards were leaning against their spears, yawning, with sleep still dripping from their eyes, looking like they hadn't woken up properly.

Suddenly, a slight but intense tremor came from the ground, as if a vast army was approaching.

"An earthquake...?" A guard asked in alarm, clutching his helmet.

"No, look over there!"

On the horizon, a massive convoy slowly emerged.

The wagons were all heavy freight wagons, their wheels covered in mud, their cargo beds filled with various building materials sealed with the character "晓" (Xiao), and strange machines covered with thick tarpaulins.

What's most terrifying is the people escorting this convoy.

They were a group of burly men dressed in matching gray overalls and wearing yellow safety helmets.

Although they did not wear headbands or display weapons, each of them walked with steady steps, long breaths, and eyes as sharp as eagles.

That's the kind of temperament only someone who's been on the battlefield has.

"Halt! Who goes there?!" The guard trembled at the group's imposing manner, gripping his spear tightly, his voice trembling, "This is the capital's most important area, no unauthorized personnel allowed..."

The young man leading the group jumped off the carriage. He strode up to the guard, pulled out a document from his pocket that was stained with a little oil but stamped with a bright red seal, and waved it in front of the guard.

"Konoha Electric Power and Home Appliance Service Company".

The one-eyed young man grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and pointed with his thumb to the long, seemingly endless convoy behind him, speaking with a bold tone:

"By order of the Vice Minister of Finance of Konoha, I've come to build a tower for the Daimyo!"

The guard, seeing the double seals of the Hokage and the Daimyo on the document, hurriedly nodded and bowed before letting him pass.

……

Red Leaf Area, construction site.

Nishikawa Tetsu was squatting on the stone steps by the roadside without any regard for his image, holding a bowl of steaming hot tofu pudding in his hand, eating it with great relish.

Beside him, Nara Shikamori held an abacus, checking the supply list while muttering, "Vice-Minister, eat slowly, don't spill soup on the ledger!"

"Relax, relax, Senior Shikamori."

Nishikawa Tetsu took a slurp of tofu pudding and pointed to the end of the street: "Look, the workers are here."

The convoy roared in and stopped on the still unpaved ground.

The one-eyed young man jumped off the vehicle, not even bothering to wipe the dust off his face, and strode over to Nishikawa Tetsuya, taking off his helmet.

"Kyusuke, Captain of the Sixth Division, Engineering Department of Akatsuki, reporting for duty!"

Although Kyusuke was not physically strong, he had a loud voice, which gave him a very imposing presence.

As for why the Akatsuki members entered the city under the name of "Konoha Electricity and Home Appliance Service Company," it's mainly because Konoha holds shares in the Akatsuki's construction company.

The current contract is between Konoha and the Land of Fire, and a portion of it has been outsourced to the Akatsuki organization, so this is a legitimate transfer of funds between the two parties.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hatosuke."

Nishikawa Tetsu put down his bowl and looked at the group of "workers" from the Land of Rain.

Apart from Kyusuke, everyone else was as strong as a calf.

This minor character, who didn't have much screen time in the original work, has now become a key member of the Akatsuki organization's infrastructure.

"Did Yahiko send you?"

"Yes! The chief said that as long as the money is enough, he'll not only build a building, but he'll even renovate the entire Daimyo Prefecture!" Kyusuke chuckled, his eyes gleaming with a thirst for money—that's the funding for building the Land of Rain!

As he spoke, he carefully took a letter from his pocket and handed it to Nishikawa Tetsuya, lowering his voice to say:

"In addition, the leader asked me to pass on a message that he will personally come to the capital of the Land of Fire in a while."

Nishikawa Tetsuya took the letter, a slight smile playing on his lips.

It seems Yahiko has finally come to his senses.

Two days ago, he used a summoning technique to deliver a message to Yahiko, hoping that Yahiko could formally establish contact with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire through this project, which would also make it easier to cooperate with Konoha.

Although this action will definitely offend Hanzo and the Daimyo of the Land of Rain, it's always good to have another big spender. Besides, Yahiko is also working to build up the Land of Rain.

"Okay, I received the letter. Shall we let the brothers rest for a bit, have breakfast, and then get back to work?" Nishikawa Tetsu asked.

"Need not!"

Kyusuke thumped his chest loudly: "The brothers have all eaten soldier's rations on the way here, and we have so much energy we don't know what to do with it. The leader said we must make Konoha's reputation shine, and we can't let Akatsuki down in front of you!"

He turned abruptly and yelled at his teammates behind him:

"Brothers! Let's get to work! Let the lords of the Land of Fire see what the speed of 'Akatsuki' really is."

"yes!!!"

Dozens of "workers" roared in unison, their imposing manner startling the onlookers who retreated several meters.

The next second, the people of the capital who had been watching with a detached, spectator's mindset witnessed the most outrageous and surreal construction site they had ever seen in their lives.

"Earth Release Team! Ready!"

With a command from Jiuzhu.

Four members skilled in earth-escape techniques stepped out of the ranks simultaneously, formed hand seals, and slammed their hands onto the ground.

"Earth Release: Earthquake Core!"

"Boom!"

The earth began to tremble. The barren land, which had been uneven, overgrown with weeds, and even had a few boulders, sank neatly in a matter of seconds, as if sliced ​​into tofu.

The soil seemed to come alive, automatically squeezing and hardening outwards. In the blink of an eye, a standard rectangular foundation pit, five meters deep and with edges so smooth that even a level was unnecessary, appeared.

The surrounding people were completely dumbfounded.

"This...this is digging a hole? This is outrageous!"

"If it were an ordinary worker, it would take at least half a month to dig this hole, right? This... did it even take five seconds?"

But it's not over yet.

"Water Release Team! Wind Release Team! Charge!"

The other two groups worked together seamlessly to stand beside the huge mixing tank.

One group opened their mouths and sprayed clear water into the pool like a high-pressure water gun; another group waved their hands, creating a howling wind that whipped up mountains of sand and cement powder.

"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Water and powder collide, swirl, and merge violently in the air.

There's no need for a mixer at all; the perfectly viscous quick-drying cement is mixed evenly in the air and then poured precisely into the foundation like a long gray dragon.

"This is so convenient..." Nara Shikamori muttered to himself, his abacus completely frozen in place as he watched the scene unfold. "Who will dare to compete with us for projects now?"

"And us, the physical training class, let's go!"

A taijutsu ninja who was two meters tall and whose arms were thicker than Nishikawa Tetsu's thighs stepped out.

He walked up to a steel beam that was as thick as three people could hug, chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and then... lifted the steel beam up with one hand!

"Heave-ho!"

He aimed at the pre-drilled holes in the foundation like he was throwing a javelin.

"Whoosh—"

The heavy-looking steel beams slicing through the air emitted a sharp whistling sound.

"when!"

With a loud bang, the steel beam was firmly inserted into the hole, fitting perfectly without the slightest tremor.

"Done! Next!"

On the construction site, the light of ninjutsu flashed one after another, and the fluctuations of chakra even caused the surrounding air to vibrate.

This isn't construction work, it's a complete performance show!

"Vice Minister Nishikawa..."

Nara Shikamori swallowed hard, his face pale. "This...this efficiency...wasn't our estimated three-month construction period a bit too conservative? At this rate, the main structure could probably be topped out in a week, right?"

"It's better to be conservative, so as to surprise the client."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the group of ninjas who were working together very well and nodded in satisfaction.

"Moreover, this is also a kind of 'GG' (a Chinese internet slang term for a game or strategy). Let those nobles see that ninjas are not only good at killing, but also at building houses. From now on, the bridges, tunnels, and dams of the Land of Fire will all be our business."
