Naruto, lying on the ground, asked, " Uncle First?"
"Can I start teaching Ninjutsu tomorrow?"
Hashirama thought about it carefully.
We'll discuss tomorrow's plans tomorrow.
Naruto immediately sat up.
"That phrase again?"
Madara walked up to Sasuke.
Stand up straight.
Sasuke himself to stand upright.
Ban looked at his hands.
"My arms started shaking after just one day of carrying vegetables."
Sasuke gritted his teeth.
"I can continue."
Madara said calmly, "That's all for today."
Sasuke did not relax.
I'll do it even faster tomorrow.
Naruto immediately shouted, "I'm definitely faster than you!"
"Last place."
"You arrogant Sasuke!"
The two were so exhausted they could barely stand, but neither was willing to admit defeat.
Hashirama was very satisfied with what he saw.
No matter what the task is, as long as the two people are engaged in a competitive spirit, there's no need for him to urge them on.
After dinner was prepared, everyone returned to the front hall.
Naruto and Sasuke sat down and began to eat.
Sakura practiced finger massage all day and was too tired to talk.
Her ten fingers were sore and numb, and she was trembling slightly when she held chopsticks.
Kakashi wasn't much better than the three students.
He had just sat down Zabuza pushed a plate of sweets in front of him.
Eat more.
"Let's keep working tomorrow."
Kakashi gave him a helpless look.
"You really think of me as a long-term employee?"
Zabuza his rice bowl.
The tavern is short-staffed.
After lunch, the Team 7 gradually left.
When Naruto stepped out the door, his legs were trembling.
Sasuke, unwilling to let him make a fool of himself, straightened his back and walked out.
Sakura followed behind the two.
Kakashi was the last to leave.
Before leaving, he glanced at Zabuza, who had already picked up the rag Zabuza.
"See you tomorrow."
Zabuza waved his hand.
After the tavern door closed, Zhang Yu heard a system notification.
[bite!]
[The first day of intensive training for Team 7 has ended.]
[Daily earnings settlement completed.]
[Congratulations, host, you have received 10,000 gold coins.]
Zhang Yu's smile vanished as soon as he saw the notification.
"Ten thousand?"
Naruto and Sasuke had a busy day.
Sakura practiced all day long too.
Kakashi also did so much work for Hashirama and Madara.
The result was that only 10,000 gold coins were awarded.
It would be more profitable to shoot a few sets of photo albums.
Zhang Yu turned off the control panel.
We need to make it more difficult tomorrow.
Hashirama happened to be passing by and paused slightly.
He looked at Ban.
Madara heard it too.
The two exchanged a glance, but neither asked any further questions.
As long as the difficulty is placed on Naruto and Sasuke, it has nothing to do with them.
Just then, a new system notification popped up.
[bite!]
[It has been detected that we are currently in the sweltering heat of midsummer.]
[New dual main questline triggered.]
[Task 1: Outdoor Swimming Pool]
[Mission Requirements: Gather at least six people, prohibit the use of Chakra throughout the mission, and construct an outdoor swimming pool within the tavern area.]
[Task Reward: 100,000 Gold Coins.]
[Mission Two: The Ultimate Pool Party]
[Mission Requirements: After the swimming pool is completed, host an ultimate pool party.]
[Task Rewards: Bonuses are stacked based on the size and quality of the party, with a maximum initial reward of 100,000 coins.]
After reading the task, Zhang Yu immediately perked up.
Building a swimming pool will cost you 100,000 gold coins.
You can also get up to 100,000 initial rewards by hosting a pool party later.
The two tasks combined are far more beneficial than today's special training.
The only problem is that the use of Chakra is prohibited throughout the entire process.
The Wood Release used by Hashirama cannot be used.
Tobirama's Water Release cannot be used.
Madara couldn't dig a pond using Ninjutsu either.
It takes at least six people, all of whom have to do it with their bare hands.
Zhang Yu, on the contrary, was even more excited.
The tavern's backyard is spacious enough.
It's the height of summer again.
Once the swimming pool is built, it will not only fulfill its purpose, but also help everyone cool down together.
As for the ultimate pool party, the more people who participate, the better.
The Konoha 12.
Teachers leading each class.
Tavern staff.
In addition, there are the ninjas from various villages who have recently entered Konoha.
If planned well, the scale will definitely not be small.
Over the next few days, the streets of Konoha became increasingly lively.
With the first large-scale Chunin Ninja Exams multiple villages approaching, ninjas from various villages are entering Konoha one after another.
The hotel was full.
Ninjas wearing different Forehead Protector can be seen everywhere on the streets.
The Konoha 12 also began to intensify their training.
The Team 8 added tracking and coordination training.
Team 10 reworked their Ino-Shika-Cho tactics.
The Team 3 practiced from morning till night.
Only Team 7 entered the Undead Tavern on time every day.
The next morning, Kakashi arrived at the tavern with three students.
Naruto rushed to the backyard as soon as he entered the house.
" The Uncle First!"
What will we learn today?
Sasuke also looked at Madara.
"I'm ready."
Hashirama and Madara had already discussed today's arrangements.
The two led Naruto and Sasuke to the edge of the fishpond.
Hashirama raised his hand and pointed to the water.
Today's task is simple.
Naruto's eyes lit up.
"Are we finally going to practice our Water Walking?"
Sasuke also looked towards the fishpond.
Below the water's surface, a large number of adult fish swam back and forth.
Ban said coldly, "Clear all the adult fish from the pond."
Naruto's smile froze.
"What?"
Hashirama added, "Not a single one can be left."
"After emptying the container, put the fish fry back in."
Sasuke frowned.
"Should we remove all the adult fish first, and then restock them with fry?"
"Right."
What's the point of doing this?
Naruto looked completely bewildered.
"Picking vegetables yesterday, fishing today?"
"What kind of cultivation is this, anyway?"
Hashirama's smile slowly faded.
Madara also looked at the two of them.
An invisible pressure fell upon the edge of the fishpond.
Naruto wanted to ask more questions, but his body tensed up suddenly.
Sasuke gritted his teeth and did not back down.
Ban coldly opened his mouth.
"You guys have so many problems just because I asked you to do something."
Do you know what we were doing when we were your age?
Naruto did not answer.
Madara continued, "Go to the battlefield."
"Kill the enemy, survive, and protect your people behind you."
"You could die any day."
"You don't have to face the enemy now, you just need to complete the tasks, and you all look so unwilling."
"This year's cohort of juniors is the least talented and least persevering I've ever seen."
Naruto panicked on the spot.
Who lacked perseverance?
Sasuke clenched his fists.
"I can complete this kind of task just as well."
Hashirama sighed.
"Ban is right."
"When we were young, there were no ninja villages in the Shinobi World."
"The various ethnic groups fought each other for years."
"Children who can pick up a weapon should go to the battlefield."
"You live in a peaceful era, without the constant threat of death in battle, so you naturally lack that sense of urgency."
Naruto gritted his teeth.
Don't underestimate me!
He took off his coat and jumped directly into the fishpond.
"I'll definitely catch all the fish!"
Sasuke also rolled up his trousers and went into the water.
I won't lose to you.
The two quickly lunged at the adult fish in the water.
The fishpond was instantly splashed with water.
