Zhang Yu stood by the back door, able to see everything clearly.
Madara and Hashirama spoke with great conviction.
What Warring States period?
What kind of younger generation lacks a sense of crisis?
Ultimately, the two of them just found cleaning the fishpond too troublesome and wanted Naruto and Sasuke to do the work for them.
After reprimanding the two, the coldness on Madara's face vanished instantly.
Hashirama also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fine."
"They're willing to do it."
Ban found a shady spot to sit down.
"This pond of fish will keep them busy all day."
Hashirama sat down next to him, watching Naruto and Sasuke in the fishpond.
"Kids these days definitely have it easier than we did back then."
"But it's fine this way."
Ban remained silent for a moment.
Nobody wants to go back to the past.
Hashirama nodded.
"We have wine to drink, food to eat, and a safe place to live."
"I never dared to dream of living like this before."
Ban looked at the tavern behind him.
"Anyone who dares to damage this place, I'll deal with them."
Hashirama, unusually, did not argue with him.
Count me in.
Zhang Yu walked up to the two of them with a smile.
"Perfect timing, I'm planning to throw the ultimate pool party."
"Pool party?"
Hashirama and Madara turned their heads at the same time.
Hashirama, who had been resting against the wooden railing, immediately sat up straight upon hearing those words.
"Boss, the pool party you're talking about, is it a party held in the water?"
"Almost."
Zhang Yu pointed to the open space in the backyard.
"First, dig a swimming pool."
"We'll invite them over once the swimming pool is built."
Hashirama looked in the direction he was pointing.
The vacant lot was right next to the apartment building; the ground was flat, making it a suitable place to build a swimming pool.
But he didn't agree immediately.
Ban didn't say anything.
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously raised their eyebrows.
Hashirama first raised his left eyebrow.
Ban then raised his right eyebrow.
Hashirama tilted his head again toward the tavern.
Ban nodded slightly.
This was a common way the two used to communicate on the battlefield.
Without needing to speak, a few subtle gestures are enough to understand what the other person means.
The meaning of "Hashirama" is quite simple.
This is not right.
Ban's answer was also very clear.
It's most likely a trap.
Yesterday, Zhang Yu said he wanted to increase the training difficulty for Team 7.
Today the topic of building a swimming pool suddenly came up again.
If they agree to anything, the tavern staff will definitely be the ones digging the hole in the end.
The two quickly reached an agreement.
Find an excuse to leave first.
We'll decide whether to come back after Zhang Yu explains the construction method clearly.
Hashirama was about to get up, Zhang Yu spoke.
"No need to raise your eyebrows."
Both of them stopped moving at the same time.
Zhang Yu crossed his arms.
A slight downward slant to the left eyebrow means something is wrong.
"Lowering the right eyebrow means don't agree yet."
"If he turns his head further towards the tavern, he's preparing to make an excuse to slip away."
Hashirama's smile froze.
Ban also fell silent.
Zhang Yu continued, "The secret code you two use is exactly the same as the one you used to force Zabuza fresh air by the window last time."
"One responsible for making the proposal."
"One person is responsible for nodding."
"Then find someone to do the work for you."
Zabuza, who was not far away, happened to come out of the back door.
Hearing his name called, he immediately stopped in his tracks.
He was caught in the middle of the two men like this when he stole the wine last time.
Hashirama placed one hand on his shoulder.
Madara stood by and watched.
The two of them didn't even need to say anything threatening; he could only go to the window for some fresh air.
Zabuza felt a little better after seeing Hashirama and Madara exposed on the spot.
It turns out he wasn't the only one who could see through their tactics.
Zhang Yu had already seen it all clearly.
Hashirama coughed lightly.
"Boss, you've misunderstood."
"Ban and I have no intention of leaving."
Ban said casually, "My eyes are just a little uncomfortable."
Zhang Yu looked at him.
Are both eyes uncomfortable at the same time?
"Um."
Hashirama immediately responded.
"Mine too."
"He probably didn't sleep well last night."
Zhang Yu nodded.
That's perfect.
"A little exercise will make you feel better."
Hashirama's face fell.
He knew he wouldn't get away so easily.
Ban turned and looked towards the tavern.
I'm hungry.
Hashirama seemed to have seized an opportunity and immediately clutched his stomach.
I'm hungry too.
"Boss, we haven't eaten anything since this morning."
Ban glanced at him.
They clearly ate breakfast.
However, he didn't undermine them at this time.
"Let's eat first."
"We'll talk about the swimming pool later."
Zhang Yu walked directly between the two men and put one arm around each of their shoulders.
" Izuna hasn't prepared lunch yet."
"You each just ate a cucumber."
We won't starve to death for now.
Hashirama tried taking a step forward.
Zhang Yu did not loosen his grip.
Ban tried to step aside, but Zhang Yu pressed him down and turned him towards the open space in the backyard.
The two exchanged a glance.
This time, I didn't even dare to move my eyebrows.
Zhang Yu led them to the middle of the open space.
"The location will be here."
Hashirama looked up and around.
"Boss, how big are you planning to dig?"
Zhang Yu Earth Flow to confirm the distance between the apartment, the vegetable garden, and the fishpond.
"Fifty meters long."
"Twenty meters wide."
Hashirama.
Ban also turned his head.
"Fifty meters?"
Hashirama gestured towards both ends of the open space.
"Boss, this is almost filling up the entire open space."
"The swimming pool should be big, of course."
Zhang Yu said, "There are quite a few employees at the tavern."
"Pool parties also require inviting guests."
"It's too small; everyone is crammed together, there's no room to swim."
Ban asked, "What about the depth?"
"Divided into two areas."
Zhang Yu walked to the side closest to the apartment.
"This is a shallow area, about 1.8 meters deep."
Then he pointed to the other side.
"That's a three-meter-deep area."
"A gentle slope was created in the middle, connecting the two areas."
Hashirama squatted down and looked at the ground.
The soil layer is not loose.
There are still quite a few stones below.
It is 50 meters long, 20 meters wide, and 3 meters deep at its deepest point.
Just digging out the soil is no small project.
Not to mention that after the excavation is complete, the pool walls and bottom still need to be repaired.
Hashirama looked up and asked, "Boss, can we use Wood Release during construction?"
"Using Wood Release to stabilize the edges will make it much faster."
Ban also said, "I can just lift up the soil layer."
Zhang Yu shook his head.
"No."
Both of them had a bad feeling at the same time.
Zhang Yu opened his system inventory.
Six large iron shovels appeared one after another on the open ground.
The shovel hit the ground with several muffled thuds.
Each one was a size larger than a regular tool.
The shovel head is wide and thick.
The wooden handle is also sturdy enough.
Zhang Yu pointed to six shovels.
"There is one strict rule for this construction project."
"The use of Chakra is strictly prohibited from beginning to end."
" Ninjutsu cannot be used."
" Shadow Clone cannot be used."
"Furthermore, you must not use Wood Release, Earth Release, or Susanoo."
"All the soil was dug out by hand."
The backyard was quiet for a few seconds.
Hashirama looked down at the shovel, then looked up at the empty space in front of him.
His expression completely crumbled.
"Relying entirely on shovels?"
"Right."
"Fifty meters long and twenty meters wide?"
"Right."
"Three meters deep at the deepest point?"
"That's right."
