Chapter 64 Infrastructure Requirements, White
Yuan Tuoye nodded in satisfaction; this was exactly the attitude he wanted.
It seems that his method of rewarding Crane Wing Snow with the Grell Stone was indeed effective.
"Now I'll tell you what you need to do." Yuan Tuoye finally revealed his true purpose for coming here.
"Please speak, my lord, we will definitely complete it perfectly!" Feng Hua Nu Tao couldn't help but say, his envy of He Yi Fu Xue was overflowing.
"First, I want you to secretly build a prison capable of holding more than a thousand people before the end of this year," Yuan Tuoye said directly.
"Isn't this time a bit too short?" Feng Hua Nu Tao couldn't help but say.
"Is it short?" Yuan Tuoye glanced at Feng Hua Nutao. In his original world, it would be a bit challenging, but it was still achievable. Not to mention that here there is such a magical power as ninjutsu.
"No, it's not short, we will definitely finish on time!" Feng Hua Nu Tao trembled slightly, then immediately replied.
"It would be best if the existence of this prison were not known to Fuuka Hayate, is that alright?" Gen Takuno continued to make his request.
"Sure, the Land of Snow isn't too big, and there are many undesirable places, some of which are only visited once every few decades." Feng Hua Nu Tao had no objection to this point.
"In addition, you need to build me a laboratory near the prison."
Upon hearing this, all four were startled. Combining this with the information, it became clear what the prison with over a thousand people was used for.
At this moment, they were all a little scared.
But when they thought that the other party was their boss, and that they should still be useful to Yuan Tuoye, they breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the other party wouldn't use them as test subjects.
"Of course! We will use the most advanced technology in the Land of Snow to build you a laboratory!" Feng Hua Nu Tao assured him.
Yuan Tuoye nodded, then spoke again.
"Secondly, I need you to build another hidden railway that leads directly to the prison."
Actually, there is a railway and train leading to the Land of Snow, but using that for transportation would be too conspicuous, so a separate road must be built specifically for transporting materials.
"Hey, is this railway going to be built this year too?" Feng Hua Nu Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead.
This is no easy feat. To hide it in the shadows, you'd have to break through some of the mountains, which would take quite a while.
"It can be delayed for up to five months. If it is completed within three months, the Grell Stone will be yours."
Gen Takuno also knew the difficulty of laying the railway, but the Snow Country itself was not very big, and the railway would not be very long.
Moreover, the trains in this world are not fast, so the requirements for railways are far less demanding.
Furthermore, given the impressive chakra armor technology of the Land of Snow and the highly efficient workforce of ninjas, it wasn't impossible for them to complete the task.
Immediately, all three of them had a bright look in their eyes.
"Leave it to us! We'll definitely finish it by March next year!" Feng Hua Nutao shouted. He was already preparing to distribute some chakra armor to help the ninjas below improve their efficiency.
Wolf Fang Avalanche and Winter Bear Frozen Rain, standing nearby, were also rubbing their fists and feet. With time so tight, it seemed they would have to serve as laborers as well.
"Yes, it's good that you have confidence." Yuan Tuoye nodded in satisfaction.
Later, Gen Takuno also explained his requirements for the railway, which, in short, were that it be concealed and able to transport materials, while speed was not a concern.
Upon hearing this request, Feng Hua Nu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, as it would make things a bit easier.
"Furthermore, you can contact me through this."
As Yuan Tuoye spoke, he summoned a crow, which stood on the table and preened its glossy black feathers.
"However, I hope you won't bother me if there's nothing else to do," Yuan Tuoye said, his tone turning slightly cold.
"Of course, we will definitely pay attention." Feng Hua Nu Tao was sweating profusely, thinking to himself, even if you don't say anything, they won't bother each other.
Why are they bothered by this demon? Are they out of their minds or have something wrong with their hearts?
"Furthermore, I hope you can take good care of it, in case anything happens to it—" Gen Takuno said, narrowing his eyes as his chakra surged.
In an instant, the four people below knelt on the ground, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.
Wolf Fang Avalanche took the lead, saying, "We will definitely take good care of your summoned beast, sir. We will not let anything happen to it, even if it means our own deaths!"
"Hmm." Yuan Tuoye nodded in satisfaction and reached out to tease the crow on the table.
Although his crows are considered consumables, raising them is quite troublesome, and he doesn't want to waste them unless absolutely necessary.
Although crows cannot speak, as spirit beasts, they have long since become more intelligent than ordinary crows. They also know that their master was just giving them instructions for their future.
So it affectionately rubbed against Yuan Tuoye's fingers.
The four people below looked at this scene and all smiled bitterly. It seemed that from now on, the person with the highest status here would not be any of the four of them, but this crow.
I just hope it doesn't interfere.
At the same time, they also knew that besides being able to contact Gen Takuya, the crow probably also served to monitor them.
However, they had no intention of slacking off or betraying the party, so they didn't care.
"Well then, I hope that when I come back next time, it will be in perfect condition before me, and that the prison, the laboratory, and the railway will all be completed." Gen Takuno said, standing up.
Now that things here are done, he can move on to the next task.
There's still a lot to do, and I don't have time to waste here.
"Sir, aren't you going to stay in Snow Village for a while?" Feng Hua Nu Tao could tell that Yuan Tuoye was about to leave. Although he hoped that the other party would leave as soon as possible, he certainly couldn't say that out loud.
"Hehe, stop being hypocritical. You're all probably hoping I'll leave soon, aren't you?" Yuan Tuoye said with a laugh.
"No, we mean it!" Feng Hua Nu Tao said without changing his expression.
"You've got quite the thick skin. I have other things to do, so I won't stay any longer." With that, Yuan Tuoye disappeared from the conference room.
After Yuan Tuoye left, the four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in their chairs. The pressure he had put on them was still too great.
Just as they were about to rest, the crow stared at them with eyes devoid of any emotion.
The four men froze, realizing they wouldn't be able to slack off.
The Land of Water.
Yuan Tuoye, wearing that familiar fox mask, walked along a path.
He came here without stopping after leaving the Land of Snow.
During this mission, he first completed the experiment to awaken the Sharingan, and then went to the Land of Snow to resolve the issue of the experimental base. Currently, there is not much time left before the plan is completed.
So, he soon arrived at a small bridge.
At that moment, a very disheveled child was standing on the bridge, looking at the calm water below.
"What are you looking at?" Yuan Tuoye walked over to the child and asked.
"Are you... talking to me?" Bai looked at Yuan Tuoye in disbelief. He hadn't heard anyone speak to him in such a tone for a long time.
Previously, when he was begging, those people not only spoke to him in a very unfriendly tone, but also always looked at him with contempt.
This made him gradually realize that he seemed to have been abandoned by the world, and that he was an existence that the world did not need.
Now, someone is actually speaking to him again?
"Hmm, is there anyone else here besides you and me?" Yuan Tuoye asked, somewhat amused, as he watched the other person's actions resemble those of a startled deer.
Bai looked around and realized that there was really no one there.
Then his eyes dimmed slightly. Actually, there were people there when he first arrived; they probably saw him, this beggar, come over and then left.
"So, you still haven't answered my question from before," Takuno Minamoto said again.
"I see this lake is so calm. If it were it, it would be able to accept someone who has been abandoned by the world." Bai spoke in his childish voice, words that silenced everyone, his voice filled with a deep sense of death.
Perhaps this isn't the first time Bai has stood here hesitating.
"Heh, the world won't abandon anyone." Gen Takuno chuckled.
"Hmm?" Bai looked at Yuan Tuoye upon hearing this. Was the other party—comforting him?
Yuan Tuoye continued, "Because it never looks at anyone, nor does it care about anyone's life or death. You can't be abandoned by the world."
Bai fell silent. He was a little confused. It seemed that the other person wasn't comforting him, but rather continuing to stab him in the back, saying that he didn't even have the right to be abandoned by the world.
"So, come with me," Yuan Tuoye said softly when Bai remained silent.
"Huh?" Bai's eyes widened instantly, staring at Yuan Tuoye in disbelief. He—had he heard correctly?
"Believe your own ears, you've awakened Ice Release, haven't you? And I need your Ice Release," Gen Takuno said.
"You—need me?" Bai's eyes, which had been ashen, seemed to regain a little color.
"That's right. There aren't many people in this world who possess bloodline limits, and I'm a ninja who likes to collect strange things, so you're one of my targets," said Gen Takuno.
For the first time since that incident, Bai smiled.
He didn't want to think about why the other person needed him; he only knew that there were still people in this world who needed him—that was enough.
"Uncle, I'll go with you," Bai said firmly.
Yuan Tuoye fell silent; it seemed to be the first time he had been called "uncle."
Actually, he is old enough that many people should call him "uncle," but he doesn't go out much, so he has never heard anyone call him "uncle."
Okay—
Yuan Tuoye shrugged helplessly. He was already 27, no, 28 in this life—
He thought about what he had been doing lately and realized he had been so busy that he had almost forgotten he had grown another year older.
It's perfectly normal for someone his age to be called "uncle" by someone who's three or four years old.
"Uncle?" Bai asked in a terrified tone when he saw that Yuan Tuoye did not respond.
At this moment, he was like a very easily startled rabbit; the other party's slight silence had already made him panic.
"Okay, let's go." Yuan Tuoye didn't say anything more and turned to walk forward.
Bai opened his eyes wide, revealing a brilliance completely different from before.
Then, he started walking and chased after Yuan Tuoye.
Soon, Bai looked at the other person's hand and wanted to reach out and hold it, but then worried that the other person would get angry, so he didn't make a move.
"You should wash up first if you want to poop." Yuan Tuoye looked at Bai's dirty and tattered clothes with a bit of disgust.
"Mm." Bai nodded.
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Tuoye took Bai to a riverbank, tossed him a set of clothes, and sat on a tree branch to wait.
Bai understood and dared not touch the clean clothes with his dirty hands. He first washed himself clean and then put on the slightly oversized clothes.
Yuan Tuoye glanced at Bai and realized that the clothes he brought were indeed a bit too big for Bai.
To be honest, the other person was a bit too thin.
"Alright," said Gen Takuno.
"Mm." Bai nodded and followed Yuan Tuoye.
At this moment, he thought of what Yuan Tuoye had just said. He had already finished washing up, which might mean...
Bai felt a little uneasy, but he still reached out and took the other person's finger. Then he looked at Yuan Tuoye cautiously, as if he was afraid that the other person would be angry.
Soon, he realized that the other party seemed unconcerned, and a happy expression immediately appeared on his face.
Yuan Tuoye had actually seen everything Bai had done, and at this moment he felt a little helpless.
How come he's single yet he gives off the vibe of someone with a child?
At that moment, the crow that had been staring at Bai slowly flew over and landed on Yuan Tuoye's shoulder.
"Huh? It's that crow that's been following me!" Bai's eyes widened when she saw the crow, then she looked at Yuan Tuoye and asked, "So this crow belongs to Uncle?"
"Hmm." Yuan Tuoye nodded, thought for a moment, and then handed the crow to him. "Then let this crow follow you."
"Really?" Bai opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise.
"Mm." Gen Takuno nodded.
"I will definitely cherish it!" Bai made a vow.
"That's good." Yuan Tuoye nodded. Actually, there was no need to raise it for nothing; the crow, which had become a summoning beast, could support itself.
But saying it now would only make things awkward.
"Here, take these." Yuan Tuoye took out some food and handed it to Bai.
After taking the food, Bai glanced at the crow on his shoulder, then at the food in his hand.
At that moment, he felt like crying.
So, after his mother died, would anyone still care about him?
