This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 265 Green Infrastructure

Near Exercise Field No. 44, on that vast open space at the edge of the Death Forest.

Here, another iconic building in Konoha's history will soon be built—the main venue for the first Chunin Exams, a joint event of the five great ninja villages.

Two days after Akatsuki's construction team arrived, the Konoha renovation project began in full swing.

"Earth Release Team! Keep your chakra output steady at Pit 3! Don't rush!"

"Water Release Team and Wind Release Team, prepare! Quick-drying cement, arrive immediately, pay attention to the mixing frequency!"

"New guy! Don't just stand there like an idiot. Watch carefully how I guide the chakra metal steel bar into place! Don't use brute force, use skill!"

On the construction site, a young man wearing a yellow hard hat, with only one eye but still full of energy, was carrying a megaphone and moving between the scaffolding and the mud, loudly directing the work.

Kyusuke, captain of the sixth division of the Akatsuki's engineering department.

After being tested by the National Power Grid building in the capital of the Land of Fire, this team, composed of refugees from the Land of Rain, retired ninjas, and newly recruited workers, has been transformed into a well-coordinated and incredibly efficient infrastructure construction team.

During his visit to Konoha, Yahiko specifically arranged for an experienced worker to mentor new recruits. Each seasoned veteran was paired with three or four newly recruited apprentices.

"Watch closely, kid!"

A burly, veteran member of the Akatsuki, carrying a steel pillar in one hand, spoke to a newcomer beside him who was panting heavily:

"Concentrate your chakra in your waist and soles of your feet, like this—drink!"

With a low growl, the veteran member easily and precisely inserted the steel column into the pre-drilled hole, fitting it perfectly.

"Wow...that's amazing!" The newcomer was stunned, his eyes filled with admiration for his senior.

"Learn from this, we know the rules: the more you do, the more you get. Minister Nishikawa is very generous with his pay!" The old member grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

On the other hand, the construction team from Konoha seemed somewhat flustered.

Due to the sheer size of the project and the short three-month construction period, the Konoha leadership had to draw manpower from various ninja squads that had no urgent missions and were available, temporarily forming a massive construction team.

"Captain, the thickness of this earthwork wall doesn't seem enough..."

A Konoha genin, sweating profusely, looked at the crooked earthen wall he had just erected and scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Try again! How many times have I told you? This is for building load-bearing walls for the stands, not for you to shield yourself from shuriken!"

The Konoha Jonin in charge of providing guidance was also completely bewildered.

"What happened to the basics you learned in school? What happened to the finesse of chakra control? How come you've forgotten everything when it comes to building a house?!"

Compared to the Akatsuki organization's approach of perfectly integrating ninjutsu into industrial processes, Konoha's ninjas, despite having higher chakra reserves and combat skills, do seem somewhat inexperienced when it comes to infrastructure development.

They are accustomed to using destructive ninjutsu to destroy enemies, but find it difficult to precisely control their power for meticulous construction.

"The difference is too obvious."

On the high platform, Nishikawa Tetsu held a cup of iced coffee, looked down at the two teams clearly divided below, and shook his head slightly.

"Everyone has their own expertise. If ninjas only know how to kill, their value will be greatly reduced in peacetime. That's why I insisted on transferring Akatsuki's engineering team here."

Standing next to him was Xiao Nan, dressed in a smart work uniform, holding a thick project schedule in her hand.

"Che-kun, although Akatsuki's team is progressing quickly, the newcomers are consuming a lot of chakra and need more nutritional support," Konan said while recording data.

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of logistical supplies."

Nishikawa Tetsu snapped his fingers.

"The food is comparable to that of the capital, with plenty to eat and drink. I also specially transferred a batch of improved soldier rations from the research institute. They can restore physical strength, taste pretty good, and come in a variety of flavors, making them suitable for temporarily replenishing physical strength."

"That's good." Xiao Nan nodded, her gaze sweeping over the perimeter of the construction site.

There stood several inconspicuous metal pillars, their tops gleaming with a faint blue light.

"However, Che-kun, what surprised me the most was this."

Xiao Nan pointed to the metal pillars, her tone tinged with admiration.

"Such a massive project, with so many people working simultaneously, the roar of various ninja techniques and the clanging of machinery should have been deafening, but as long as you step ten meters away from this construction site..."

"You can't hear anything anymore."

"Dada dada~ dada~ dada~~!"

Nishikawa Tetsu voiced himself, imitating the voice of a certain blue Doraemon, saying, "Full-coverage anti-phase silencing barrier!"

"This is another cutting-edge technology that the Konoha Science Research Institute has invested in this project. It works very well, and I plan to improve it and make it into a civilian version."

"Those who suffer from sleep disorders and can't fall asleep at the slightest noise are in luck. Considering the habits of the ninja profession, adding an early warning function to the barrier should be more popular."

While Nishikawa Tetsu was introducing the research institute's cutting-edge technology to Konan, several middle-aged women were leisurely chatting while carrying their shopping baskets in a working-class neighborhood just across the street from the construction site.

"I heard they're building some huge arena over there? It'll hold tens of thousands of people!"

"Yeah, I thought it would be so noisy I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. But guess what? I didn't even hear a sound like a stone hitting the ground!"

"And there wasn't a speck of dust. The clothes I washed yesterday were hanging outside, and they were spotless."

"Our Konoha ninjas are amazing! They'd be so noisy back in the day!"

The chatter of the older women drifted away on the wind.

Inside the barrier, however, was a completely different, deafening scene.

Nishikawa Tetsu took a sip of coffee, looked at Konan's surprised expression, and explained with a smile:

"This combines the air filtration technology of Wind Release with the anti-interference principle of Sound Wave Ninjutsu."

"The barrier can not only absorb and cancel all the noise generated inside the construction site, but also form an invisible wind wall at the boundary to lock all the dust and exhaust gas generated during construction inside, and then introduce it into a special filtration system through underground pipes."

"We are building the future of Konoha, not destroying its environment."

Nishikawa Tetsu pointed to the still lush and green Death Forest not far away.

"The Hokage specifically instructed that the surrounding ecosystem must not be damaged. Therefore, those uprooted trees you see are not actually dead."

"They were all carefully transplanted to the outer edge of the barrier, and even the soil around their roots was preserved intact. Once the arena is completed, they will become the most natural green barrier."

"This is the green infrastructure of Konoha."

Xiao Nan looked at Nishikawa Tetsu, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

In the Land of Rain, people have to struggle in the mud to survive and fight each other for even a little bit of resources. Although, under Yahiko's leadership, many people in the Land of Rain have been able to live a stable life.

But here, Konoha has already begun to consider environmental protection, livability, and sustainable development.

This generational gap in ideas can evoke a deep sense of powerlessness, but it can also inspire longing.

"If one day, the Land of Rain can be like Konoha..." Konan murmured to herself.

"Yes."

Nishikawa Tetsu patted Konan on the shoulder, his eyes resolute.

"As long as Yahiko, Nagato, you, and these people who are sweating it out are here."

"The sun that belongs to the Land of Rain will rise sooner or later."
