Zhang Yu did not answer immediately.
He glanced at the two of them, then turned and walked towards the backyard.
"Follow along if you want to see."
Might Guy immediately gave chase.
Jiraiya quickly followed.
He was originally just accompanying Might Guy to find someone.
The ultimate pool party training challenge sounds really fresh.
I feel like I'll miss something if I don't take a look.
Tobirama sat behind the ledger, watching the three leave the front hall.
He already guessed what Zhang Yu was going to do.
Two construction workers are needed in the backyard.
Jiraiya and Might Guy happened to appear at that moment.
Zhang Yu did not directly ask them for help.
With just one sentence, "Ultimate Pool Party Training Challenge," the two of them willingly went along.
Especially Might Guy.
After hearing about the special training, there was no need to continue persuading them.
Tobirama put down his pen and glanced towards the back door.
The boss's ability to manipulate people is indeed becoming more and more sophisticated.
In the backyard, Kakashi was holding a shovel, figuring out where to start.
Hearing footsteps, he turned his head to look.
The next second, his body froze.
Might Guy had already rushed up to him.
" Kakashi!"
"You've gone too far!"
Kakashi gripped the shovel, his face filled with bewilderment.
"Kai?"
Why are you here?
Might Guy grabbed his shoulder.
"You didn't even wake me up for such an important final training session!"
"We are eternal rivals!"
"Do you want to participate in the pool party challenge alone and then sneak past me?"
Kakashi was completely confused.
He glanced down at the shovel in his hand.
He then looked at Hashirama, Madara, and Zabuza, who were waiting to begin work.
"What ultimate training?"
What pool party challenge?
Might Guy paused for a moment.
"You do not know?"
Kakashi looked up at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu remained expressionless.
"Construction work is also special training."
"After the swimming pool is built, there will naturally be a party."
"So, it's called the Ultimate Pool Party Training Challenge, is there a problem with that?"
Kakashi opened his mouth.
It seems fine.
But there are problems everywhere.
Might Guy, however, had already understood.
"I see!"
"Let's build the swimming pool with our own hands first!"
"The challenge will be completed by finishing the pool party!"
"We can't use Chakra; we can only rely on physical strength, endurance, and willpower to complete the construction!"
He became more and more agitated as he spoke.
His fist clenched tightly.
"This is real youth training!"
Hashirama, carrying a shovel, stared in disbelief.
Zhang Yu promised him ten bottles of beer and a bottle of vodka before he agreed to dig.
Might Guy didn't hear about any reward, but he was already getting carried away with his excitement.
Ban also glanced at Might Guy a couple more times.
"Has this guy always been like this?"
Kakashi sighed.
"Almost."
Zabuza gripped the shovel, remaining silent.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone so excited about digging a 50-meter swimming pool by hand.
Might Guy suddenly turned around and rushed in front of Zhang Yu.
" Boss Zhang Yu!"
"Please allow me to join this challenge!"
"I'm willing to build a swimming pool with Kakashi!"
No matter how much soil I need to dig, no matter how much sweat I have to shed, I will not back down!
After he finished speaking, he gave Kakashi a thumbs up.
" Kakashi!"
Let's see who can finish their work area first!
Kakashi had no desire to compete.
Zhang Yu did not give him a chance to speak.
"Granted."
He pointed to the fifth shovel on the ground.
"From now on, you are the fifth member of the construction team."
Might Guy strode over and grabbed the shovel.
"Good!"
"Youthful construction, let's begin!"
Zhang Yu was quite satisfied with his energetic demeanor.
As expected of Might Guy.
Such fighting spirit is rare to find in the entire Shinobi World.
Now all five members are together.
Only one more is needed.
Zhang Yu slowly turned his head and looked at Jiraiya standing behind him.
Jiraiya's smile had vanished.
He glanced at the shovel in Might Guy's hand.
He then looked at the last remaining shovel on the ground.
Only then did he realize that something was wrong.
Is it too late to run away now?
Jiraiya stared at the last shovel on the ground and began to move backward.
Zhang Yu looked at him.
Where are you going?
Jiraiya stopped.
"I suddenly remembered that the old man also asked me to investigate information about the Chunin Ninja Exams."
"This is very important."
"We can't delay."
He finished speaking and prepared to turn around.
Zhang Yu didn't block the way; he just spoke slowly from behind.
"If you want to leave, I definitely won't stop you."
Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.
" Boss Zhang Yu is indeed reasonable."
"I'll come get some cola after I'm done with my work."
He had just taken a step when Zhang Yu added another sentence.
However, there are limited spots available for the pool party.
"Those who participated in the construction today are definitely qualified."
Those who leave at the last minute should never participate again.
Jiraiya's feet were dangling in mid-air.
He turned his head.
"What's the meaning?"
"Literal meaning."
Zhang Yu pointed to the open space.
"The swimming pool was dug by everyone's own hands."
"Construction workers will have priority to attend the party."
Other slots will be allocated depending on the situation.
Jiraiya frowned.
"Didn't you just say the ultimate pool party?"
"Since it's the ultimate party, we can't be short-handed, right?"
There will be plenty of people.
Zhang Yu said, " Ino, Sakura, Hinata, Kurenai Yuhi, and other guests can all be invited."
"However, no matter how big the venue is, you can't just let just anyone in."
"If you miss this construction opportunity, you may not be eligible in the future."
Jiraiya's ears twitched.
midsummer.
Outdoor swimming pool.
The ultimate pool party.
The moment the image flashed through his mind, he pulled his foot back.
Kakashi looked at him.
"What about the Lord Hokage's intelligence mission?"
Jiraiya waved his hand.
"No rush."
" The Chunin Ninja Exams still have some time left."
"A few more days won't make a difference in gathering intelligence."
Kakashi fell silent.
I just said we couldn't delay.
Now that I hear there are female ninjas at the pool party, I'm not in a hurry anymore.
Jiraiya quickly walked to Zhang Yu's side.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
Are there really limited party spots?
"Certainly."
"Is it too late for me to join the construction now?"
Zhang Yu looked at the last shovel.
Weren't you leaving?
Who said I was leaving?
Jiraiya looked serious.
"I just wanted to stretch my legs."
"Building the swimming pool was also part of the investigation."
"I must be there in person to confirm whether the tavern is in danger."
Kakashi couldn't listen anymore.
What can you find out by digging in the dirt with a shovel?
You don't understand.
Jiraiya patted him on the shoulder.
"A lot of intelligence is hidden in the details."
"Land structure, personnel allocation, and construction efficiency—all these aspects deserve investigation."
After he finished speaking, he didn't give anyone else a chance to interrupt and quickly walked up to Hashirama.
" Lord First."
"Could I please have a shovel?"
