Shihōin Naraku watched the ground gradually settle and withdrew the power he had applied. The spreading ripples quickly faded.
"That will do for now. Once this soil returns to normal, reconstruction can begin."
The soil was not yet fit for major work. It needed a few days to settle.
Naraku turned to Kakashi. "The materials have started arriving, right? I've already seen merchants nearby."
"Yes. The merchants arrived very quickly. Konoha has bought everything that meets our requirements."
"A large amount of materials and supplies has already piled up at the designated site southeast of the village. We're just waiting for reconstruction to begin."
Naraku nodded and gestured for the others to leave first. He walked out as he continued talking to Kakashi. "Pay attention to safety. Nothing must happen to those stockpiled materials and supplies."
"Understood!"
If anyone really dared to cause trouble near Konoha at a time like this, Naraku would honestly admire them.
Nagato's attack might not have caused many casualties, but everyone in Konoha had lost their home. They were all seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it.
If another enemy actually appeared, it would not be a matter that could be settled easily.
Of course, Naraku himself knew that no one would come to cause trouble at a time like this.
Still, they had to stay on guard. After all, the Shinobi World had no shortage of lunatics. It was not impossible that someone might actually dare to act.
But the more important precautions were not against enemies. They were against damage to the supplies and materials from natural causes.
That would be the most troublesome problem.
Fortunately, reconstruction could begin in just a few days, and then it would no longer be much of an issue.
