TSSITWON Chapter 110: House Construction
🕑 Added 2024-11-27 12:49:55 +0000 UTCOne by one, the layers of earth were compacted until the walls appeared solid, strong, and difficult to breach.
Seeing the hard work of the ninjas who had begun building the walls, Aoki nodded in satisfaction before stepping toward the remaining group of women.
The sun began to rise to its zenith, the golden rays reflecting off the wet ground added a warm ambiance around them. Aoki shifted his gaze around, ensuring everything was going according to plan, before his voice echoed, breaking the noise.
"Ninjas skilled in swordsmanship, gather!" Aoki raised his voice, drawing the attention of the women who quickly focused on him, their footsteps swift and agile. "Or ninjas skilled in slashing and cutting—gather immediately!"
There was a brief silence before the sound of hurried footsteps filled the air. A group of women dressed lightly, some with cloths on their heads, and others sporting ponytails, appeared resolute and ready, standing upright with sharp, focused eyes.
Aoki moved his gaze from one face to another, counting carefully. There were exactly twenty of them, each carrying a sword or other cutting tools that glimmered in the afternoon light.
"When the logs that have been collected arrive, your task is to cut those logs," Aoki said, his loud voice conveying certainty. "Transform them into long, thin planks for the floor, walls, and roof of our house! You need not worry about the construction. That will be my task."
Aoki took a moment to breathe, his gaze shifting to the rough and uneven ground around him, where hot springs formed small streams flowing slowly through the muddy earth. Imagining the foundation of the house on such ground made Aoki realize that they needed to prepare everything meticulously.
"For now, get ready!" Aoki added, his tone becoming calmer, signaling that the ninjas could return to preparing themselves.
The group dispersed, some began checking their weapons, sharpening their sword blades on whetstones, while others simply sat down, releasing their fatigue for a moment before the next task.
Meanwhile, Aoki turned to the remaining group that was busy moving stones and wood. Aoki's serious expression slowly softened as he remembered the need to keep the group's spirits high.
"The rest! Quickly prepare food that everyone can enjoy! Make a warm soup that can be consumed quickly!" Aoki spoke with a caring tone, his eyes fixed on the women who began to move.
"We understand!" The resounding reply echoed, followed by the sound of light footsteps moving quickly to gather ingredients.
The women began to busy themselves with pieces of vegetables, meat, and spices. Some tossed the ingredients into a large pot over the fire, while others stirred and ensured the soup was boiling perfectly. The warm aroma of spices wafted through the air, filling it with a promise of comfort.
A few hours later, the sturdy walls of earth surrounding the vast area in the Valley of Hell had been completed, standing out as a solid protective fortress under the evening sky.
Inside the area, the air was filled with the sound of the wind hissing and the rumble of the ninjas' footsteps as they returned carrying a large number of collected logs.
Some of them appeared exhausted, sweat dripping from their faces, but there was a glimmer of confidence in their eyes—they knew this was the first step toward a better place.
"Earth Ninjutsu Ninjas! Use Earth Ninjutsu to level the ground below for the house construction!" Aoki shouted with a firm voice, exuding an authority that resonated.
