Shadow Stream of Leaf

When Hanyu and Orochimaru came to the Valley of the End, they saw a waterfall hanging from a towering cliff almost perpendicular to the ground from a distance, and on the left and right sides of the waterfall, they had already separated. Two large, somewhat exaggerated cyan boulders of equal height were erected.

Hanyu can't remember whether the terrain here was originally like this, or it was changed because of the battle between the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara, but the only thing that is certain is that before the final battle between the two gods here, it must be It won't be called the Valley of the End.

A group of people are busy under the waterfall, as if they are measuring something.

And when someone saw Hanyu approaching from a distance, and slowly realized that they were ninjas from Konoha, someone came towards them from the other side.

"Master Hanyu?"

The person who came over was the head craftsman who was in charge of the entire carving project, and he had received the news before that there would only be a jonin called "Hanyu" who would come here to supervise the progress of the project, but now there are two ninjas present , so he could only tentatively call out Hanyu's name.

"It's me," Hanyu said, "Has the work started yet?"

There are about 70 or 80 people in charge of carving stone statues here. They are all craftsmen from Konoha Village. Therefore, even though one side is a ninja and the other side is a commoner, everyone is their own.

"Preliminary surveying and mapping work is underway, but this kind of preparation has almost been carried out, and it is estimated that the work will start after you arrive." The leader of the craftsman said.

It seems that this kind of civil engineering can be completed faster if it is entrusted to ninjas, but in fact it is not the case. First of all, ninjas are completely out-of-production military and combat units. Generally, ninjas can carve a dog's head, which is very remarkable. They don't have the superb skills of craftsmen who have been dedicated to carving for thirty years.

Secondly, in Ninja Village, ninjas and ordinary civilians have their own division of labor. If ninjas do the work of civilians, the civilians will have nothing to do. , but Naruto always needs to consider the issue of employment rate.

"Are there any blueprints for the statue?"

"Yes." The head craftsman immediately handed the design drawing of the statue to Hanyu, and said at the same time, "This is the design drawing selected by the third Hokage."

On that drawing, the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara are located on both sides of the waterfall, and their upper bodies are far higher than the flat top of the cliff. The height of the statue is also the height of the two boulders that Hanyu sees now.

In other words, each statue is actually made of the cliff below as a base, and spliced ​​with the boulder above... Well, integrated carving is a bit difficult, and the terrain here does not allow it.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, Hanyu feels that these two statues are much more magnificent than what he imagined... Maybe this may be the reason why the cost has been increased and the statues have been enlarged. Guo Daming extorted a sum of money.

It’s just that it’s consistent with Hanyu’s impression that this group of statues is still in the grand and rough style. They are the kind of works that win by momentum rather than details... Hanyu thought he could decide on the statues As for the style, I didn't expect that the third Hokage had already been arranged.

This is a bit of a pity, otherwise, the first generation of Hokage held the basketball with the middle finger in one hand and held the basketball in the other. You can't mess around, Hanyu is the overall responsible person, and he will be responsible for any problems.

"What about the construction period?"

"A year and a half."

It's quite urgent.

But of course, Hanyu will not stay here for a year and a half. He just needs to ensure that the project starts smoothly, and then the inspection and acceptance will be successful.

"You are experts. I won't point fingers at specific matters. I will leave everything to you professionals. After all, I am only good at handling small items, and I have already been born with my hands... Cough, it's far away, only There are a few requirements, especially the statue of the first Hokage-sama, you must work hard, as for the other, it is enough to be able to see it."

"understand."

The leader of the craftsman didn't really understand it. It was the first time he heard that different quality standards were required in the same project. This kind of thing is a bit funny.

But... Although the ninja in front of him looks very young and unreliable, ordinary people in Ninja Village can't understand that even this kind of "children" have blood on their hands.

What's more, he is a Jōnin, and no one understands what Jōnin means, that is to say, the blood on his hands is at least several times higher than expected.

Therefore, even if everyone is from the same village, the leader of the craftsman is not "afraid" of Hanyu, but he will definitely pay attention to accompany him.

"Then let's get started, oh, if you have more detailed matters, you can discuss with this kid, here he is equivalent to the illegitimate child of the third Hokage."

Orochimaru:"……"

There is nothing wrong with Hanyu's statement. It is not a problem for a direct disciple to say that he is a son, but a son is a son. Why is it an illegitimate child? This is so misleading.

The leader of the craftsman became more and more shocked. A child entrusted the work to another younger child, and that younger child was actually the illegitimate child of the Third Hokage?

The Third Hokage looked thick-browed, big-eyed, and dignified. Unexpectedly... At this time, the head craftsman recalled the appearance of the Third Hokage. Well, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that the mustache under the Third Hokage's chin didn't look like the style that a serious person would wear.

But this matter was too confidential, and the leader of the craftsmen didn't dare to talk about it, otherwise he would be silenced, so...he decided to only tell it to the deputy leader who had the closest relationship with him. The deputy leader is an honest man, and like the leader, he can keep all kinds of secrets tight-lipped.

…………

Therefore, Hanyu set up a tent by the river far away from the waterfall, and the renovation project of the Valley of the End scenic spot started immediately.

Orochimaru is a very capable child, he handles all the work in an orderly manner, so Hanyu is very free. Everything seemed normal... for two days.

On the third day the two came here, strange things still started to happen.

When it was approaching noon that day, Hanyu and Orochimaru were eating lunch, and then saw a big blue snake as thick as a human wrist, crawling towards their feet.

"The snake you summoned?" Hanyu held the bowl, took a sip of the noodle soup, and then asked Orochimaru.

Orochimaru shook his head, on the construction site, why would he summon a snake if he had nothing to do?

But just as he shook his head, he saw Hanyu pull out one of the two long knives behind him, and then raised the knife with his hand and dropped it, nailing the snake's head to the ground.

Afterwards, Hanyu cleaned up this large snake weighing dozens of kilograms... the kind of food that was used as an ingredient was clean.

Orochimaru's scalp felt a little tingly, is this killing snakes and police snakes? He thought to himself, how do you peel off the big snake's skin and prepare to eat his meat?

"Distribute benefits, see if there are any craftsmen who like snake soup, work like this every day, and supplement nutrition."

After all, Hanyu is still a kind person.

Originally, the matter ended here, but at noon on the fourth day, another snake that looked exactly the same appeared.

Orochimaru frowned, feeling that something was a little strange, the snake's eyes seemed to be human, but before he figured it out, he couldn't figure it out.

Because Hanyu once again raised his sword and dropped it.

"Yesterday, the crowd reported that the snake meat was delicious, and they said they would want more if they had it today."

Orochimaru:"……"

Even if you let people study for three minutes, just three minutes is fine. The masses are eager to eat meat, which is understandable, but can't wait for three minutes?

Or did Hanyu just want to kill the snake?
