That was Torifu's plan. He'd thought of it a long time ago, but Rain Province, under Iwagakure's jurisdiction, was mostly rocky terrain, with no suitable lakes for fish farming.
So the idea had been put on hold until today, when the battle's explosions had created such a massive crater.
If it filled with water, it would become the largest lake in the Land of Rain.
It would be more than large enough for fish farming. Their village had only tens of thousands of people, after all, so this lake would be plenty. They wouldn't need to dig any others.

"In short, we'll need to build things. I planned it all out a long time ago, so I can take full responsibility for it. All you need to do is provide the funding."
The Kazekage and Ōnoki nodded. They knew next to nothing about this sort of thing.
