When Hanyu and Orochimaru arrived at the Valley of the End, they saw a waterfall cascading down from a towering cliff wall almost perpendicular to the ground, and on the left and right sides of the waterfall had already stood two large, exaggerated cyan boulders of equal height.

Hanyu couldn't remember if the terrain was the way it was, or if it was due to the changes caused by the battle between the original Hokage and Madara Uchiha, but the only thing that was certain was that it wouldn't be called the Valley of the End until the final battle between the two immortals was here.

A group of people were busy under the waterfall, as if they were measuring something.

And when someone saw Hanyu and the others approaching from a distance, and slowly realized that they were ninjas from Konoha, someone from there walked towards them.

"Hanyu-sama?"

It was a man who came over, the leader of the craftsmen in charge of the entire carving project, and he had received the news that only one shinobi called "Hanyu" would come here to supervise the progress of the project, but now there were two ninjas present, so he could only tentatively call out Hanyu's name.

"It's me," Hanyu said, "has the work started?" ”

There are about seventy or eighty people in charge of carving the stone statues here, and they are all craftsmen from Konoha Village, so although one side is a ninja and the other is a commoner, everyone is their own people.

"Preliminary mapping work is underway, but this preparation is almost underway, and it is expected that construction will start when you arrive." The leader of the craftsmen said.

It seems that this kind of civil engineering work can be completed more quickly if it is left to the ninja, but in reality, this is not the case. First of all, ninjas are completely off-duty military and combat units, and it is remarkable that the average ninja can carve a dog's head, and they do not have the exquisite skills of craftsmen who have been focusing on carving for 30 years.

Secondly, in the ninja village, ninjas and ordinary civilians themselves have their own division of labor, and if ninjas do the work of civilians, then civilians will have nothing to do, so even if sometimes one job of a ninja can top fifty jobs of civilians, but Hokage always needs to consider the employment rate.

"Are there any blueprints for the statue?"

"Yes." The leader of the craftsmen immediately handed the design drawings of the statue to Hanyu and said, "This is the design selected by the three generations of Hokage. ”

On that drawing, the original Hokage and Madara Uchiha were on either side of the waterfall, and their upper bodies were far above the cliff face. The height of the statue, which is the height of the two boulders that Hanyu saw now.

In other words, each statue is actually made of the cliff wall below as a base and spliced with the boulder above...... Well, the integrated carving is inherently a bit difficult, and the terrain here does not allow it.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, Hanyu feels that these two statues are much grander than he remembers...... Perhaps this may be the reason why the cost has been increased and the statue has been enlarged, after all, the previous three generations of Hokage extorted a sum of money from the Daimyo of the Fire Nation.

It's just that in line with Hanyu's impression, this group of statues still follows the same grand and crude style, and they are the kind of works that win by momentum rather than details...... Hanyu thought that he could decide the style of the statue, but he didn't expect that the three generations of Hokage had already arranged it.

It's a bit of a pity, otherwise the original Hokage would have held a basketball with one middle finger and the other, which was so artistic, but now...... I can only do what the three generations of Hokage say. You can't mess around, Hanyu is the overall person responsible, and he is responsible for something that goes wrong.

"What about the construction period?"

"A year and a half."

It's in a hurry.

However, for a year and a half, of course, Hanyu will not stay here forever, he just needs to ensure that the project starts smoothly, and then it can be successfully accepted when the time comes.

"You are experts, I won't dictate specific things, I'll leave everything to you professionals, after all, I'm only good at tinkering with small things, and I've been doing it by now...... Ahem, it's far away, there is only one requirement, especially the statue of the original Hokage-sama, you have to work hard, as for the other one, you can see it. ”

"Understood, understood."

The head of the craftsman didn't really understand it, and it was the first time he had heard that different quality standards were required for the same project, which was a bit funny.

But...... Although the ninja in front of him looked very young and didn't seem to be very reliable, the ordinary people in the ninja village could not understand it best - even this kind of "child" had his hands covered in human blood.

What's more, he is a Shangnin, and no one understands what Shangnin means, which means that the blood on his hands is at least several times higher than he imagined.

Therefore, even if everyone is from the same village, the leader of the craftsmen is not "afraid" of Hanyu, but he will definitely be careful with him.

"Then let's almost get started, oh, if you have any more details, I'll discuss with this kid, here he is equivalent to the illegitimate son of three generations of Hokage."

Orochimaru: "......"

Hanyu's statement is actually not wrong, and there is nothing wrong with the disciple saying that it is a son, but a son is a son, why is it an illegitimate child? This is so misleading.

I saw that the leader of the craftsmen was more and more shocked, a child entrusted the work to another younger child, and that younger child was actually the illegitimate son of the three generations of Hokage?

The three generations of Hokage looked thick-eyed and dignified, but they didn't expect ...... At this time, the leader of the craftsman recalled the appearance of the three generations of Hokage, well, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the mustache under the chin of the three generations of Hokage did not look like a serious person would have.

But this matter is too secret, and the leader of the craftsmen does not dare to talk nonsense everywhere, otherwise what if he is killed, so ...... He decided to tell it only to the deputy leaders with whom he had the closest relationship. The deputy leader is an honest man, and like the leader, he is able to keep secrets tight.

…………

Hanyu erected a tent by the river, far from the waterfall, and construction began on the renovation of the Valley of the End.

Orochimaru is a very capable child, and he handles all the work in an orderly manner, so Hanyu is very idle. Everything seems to be normal...... It seemed normal for two days.

On the third day after the two of them arrived, strange things started to happen.

Near noon that day, Hanyu and Orochimaru were having lunch, and then they saw a large blue snake with the thickness of a human wrist crawling towards their feet.

"The serpent you called?" Hanyu took a bowl and took a sip of the noodle soup, then asked Orochimaru.

Orochimaru shook his head, on the construction site, what did he do when he had nothing to summon snakes?

However, as soon as he shook his head, Hanyu saw Hanyu pull out one of the two long knives behind him, and then with the knife in his hand, he nailed the snake's head to the ground.

Then, Hanyu divided five by two and cleaned up the snake, which weighed dozens of kilograms...... The kind of food that is used as an ingredient is clean.

Orochimaru looked a little numb when he saw it, this is a snake killer and a police snake? He said in his heart, how do you pick the skin of other people's big snakes, and you are still going to eat other people's meat?

"Send welfare, see if there are any craftsmen who like snake soup, work like this every day, and supplement nutrition."

Hanyu is still a kind person after all.

Originally, the matter was over here, but at noon on the fourth day, another identical snake appeared.

Orochimaru frowned, feeling that something was a little strange, the snake's eyes seemed to be human, but before he could figure out anything, he couldn't understand anything.

Because Hanyu's hand fell again.

"Yesterday, the masses reported that the snake meat was delicious, and said that they would want it if they had it today."

Orochimaru: "......"

Even if you ask people to study for three minutes, it's okay for three minutes, the masses are in a hurry to eat meat, which is understandable, but can't you wait for three minutes?

Or did Hanyu just want to kill the snake?
