If one day, the higher-ups asked you to be the chief engineer of the Three Gorges Dam project, how would you feel?
Shimizu was facing a similar situation.
Actually, at first, the Third Kazekage and the others didn't think so much, they just wanted to build a river to get a large amount of water resources from the Rain Country to the Sand Village, so that the village might be able to become rich.
But Shimizu took out this planning proposal with high scientific significance, and after giving relatively mature guidance in the document on the various aspects of construction, use, and subsequent impact of this project, the Third Kazekage realized how significant it was to build this canal well.
From ancient times to the present, all large-scale water conservancy projects have been major events that can affect the national fortune for a hundred years.
"Tell me what you plan to do next. Let's set the general plan here first, so that the high-level officials of the village can cooperate with your actions later."
After waiting for a while, guessing that Shimizu had digested what he had just said, the Third Kazekage said to Shimizu.
Shimizu pondered for a while, seemingly thinking, but in fact, while thinking, he also quickly asked the avatar in the DC world to check the government documents of the Salt River water conservancy project in Arizona, USA.
Although it can't be copied completely, the general steps and methods can still be referred to.
"The first step is definitely to carry out preliminary planning and surveying. Although I gave some examples in the plan, the specifics still need to be investigated in many places, and a comprehensive design needs to be carried out based on various factors such as terrain, hydrology, and climate. This requires the cooperation of excellent sensory ninjas."
"The second step, I need a sufficient number of Earth Release ninjas to clear and excavate along the river route according to the design plan, excavating waterways wide enough and deep enough, and require elite ninjas who have mastered the Earth Release nature transformation to help build river embankments and dams, strengthen river banks and riverbeds, prevent soil erosion, and when the second step is carried out, the residents of those residential areas need to be relocated…"
"After the first two steps are completed, we will officially start building sluice gates and water diversion systems. In this step, in addition to Earth Release ninjas, I also need manpower from the puppet troops, and it is best to have some Water Release ninjas to test…"
"The fourth step…"
The Third Kazekage sat in his seat, nodding frequently as he listened.
It's just that these thoughts only flashed through the Third Kazekage's mind and did not continue to think deeply.
With his current age, he can still be the Kazekage for at least six or seven years, and he still has relatively sufficient time to select and cultivate a successor, so he is not very anxious.
"Finally, after the canal is built, regularly rotate and dispatch ninjas to be stationed in important river sections such as reservoirs to ensure the safety and normal operation of related equipment."
Shimizu spoke until his mouth was dry, and the Anbu next to him thoughtfully refilled Shimizu with a cup of tea.
Shimizu smiled and nodded to the Anbu, and looked at the Third Kazekage.
"Well…"
The Third Kazekage nodded slightly and said, "Whether it is the initial survey and detection, or the mid-to-late construction and maintenance, you need to personally go to the village to guide these, and before the canal is completed, your personal safety is also very important to the village. Should I arrange an Anbu tactical team to protect you closely?"
"What kind of close protection is it? It shouldn't be the kind that stares at you even when you go to the toilet, right? If that's the case, I hope it can be a team composed entirely of beauties."
The Third Kazekage twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly.
Sure enough, no matter how talented he is, he is still just a teenage boy in puberty?
The Third Kazekage, who has been strictly following the three prohibitions of ninjas for most of his life and has not had a wife even at the age of fifty, said that he cannot understand this.
"There is no beauty team, you can find someone to arrange it yourself. Think about who you want and write a list and hand it over to me for review."
The Third Kazekage waved his hand at Shimizu unhappily, signaling that he was going to send him away.
Although the construction of the canal is important, it has not yet started. Now that the war has just ended, the Third Kazekage still has a lot of things to do related to post-war reconstruction.
"Okay, Lord Third, by the way, there is one more thing."
Shimizu remembered his original intention of coming to the Kazekage Building, and raised his hand to the Third Kazekage.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say."
"I came to the Kazekage Building because I wanted to check some information on sensory ninjutsu and taijutsu…"
"San Nana, take my warrant and take Jonin Shimizu to Secret Room No. 1 to check the index of the Sand Secret Scroll, and allow him to choose any two ninjutsu from it."
No mistakes, one head, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one is, one look!
The Third Kazekage handed the warrant to the Anbu who had handed Shimizu tea earlier.
"Yes!"
The Anbu knelt on one knee, raised his hands high, took the warrant from the Third Kazekage's hand, and then got up and looked at Shimizu.
"Jonin Shimizu, please follow me."
Shimizu followed.
The role of the Sand Secret Scroll in the Sand Village is similar to that of the Leaf Village's Book of Seals. It records the Sand Village's most important ninjutsu secrets, such as the cultivation method of Magnet Release.
The Third Kazekage's agreement to open the Sand Secret Scroll to Shimizu is also considered an advance payment of some of Shimizu's merits.
Following this Anbu codenamed San Nana, Shimizu went all the way down, and with the Third Kazekage's warrant, passed through layers of inspections, and finally stopped in front of a secret room full of sealing runes.
The Anbu in charge of guarding checked that the markings on the warrant were correct, and without saying a word, he just formed a hand seal and opened the seal.
"Let's go, you have thirty minutes to choose. After you have chosen, he will find the corresponding ninjutsu scroll for you. You can only view it here and cannot take it out."
San Nana made a gesture of invitation to Shimizu, asking Shimizu to follow another Anbu in charge of guarding in, but he did not follow himself.
Shimizu has the Third Kazekage's order, and the other Anbu is the Anbu sealing ninja in charge of guarding and managing this place. He has the Third Kazekage's authorization, but he does not.
