Chapter 4: Recruitment (Six Years Old, Closer To Seven)

Despite with the businesses order going well. There is, unfortunately, still a problem. And that is the lack of construction workers. I need a professional construction team. The engineers and elite workers who could move in perfect order in the field, I, who will order them on what to do.

In the morning dawn at the Yamanaka rural area where people in the clan don't use, thus, brother Inoichi gave it to me to use the area however I please. Anyways, today was the perfect weather to start the construction. I looked back at the 30 soldiers who I've gathered by the river and said.

"REPEAT AFTER ME! SAFETY IS THE TOP PRIORITY"

"Safety~..."

"...is the..."

".....top, yawn,"

Wowww, look at these little shites. The way they answer is just like my co-workers in the past who don't work but get payed. It's a relief that even if we're still suffering from the aftermath of the war we still have a remaining man power even if all of the people I've selected are already retired during their genin days and some chunins.

"Listen properly, from this onwards, you guys will only answer to me! And I promise to reward you fairly!" Only if you guys do your job properly, that is. "Now, you see that clay over there."

I pointed my index finger to the other side of the river. There was an awful lot of clay.

"That's the clay I dug up all night, working!"

That was a lie, Vū mostly did all of the work thanks to his Shadow Clones and I left him here to go and get my good night sleep. I hope that guy doesn't have enough guts to decapitate my neck even if I am the Patriarch's younger brother.

"We will now carry out our important duty! And that is to fullfil the construction that our customers had especifically asked for. And that construction they ordered is the Ondol Heating Room Project! In order to do that, you guys will move the clay to the construction site!"

The people before me made a dissapoval expression. It was what I expected from them. The reason why I mobilize them to do this kind of work. Just to bully them? Mostly yes, I admit I want to see these guys suffer for my own entertainment, but that's not it. It's physical training through labor.

Clay is heavy. What if you walk around with a sack full of clay to transport it? Not only the lower body, but also the core of the abdomen, shoulders, back, as well as forearm muscles will be trained. While at it, improving your endurance was a bonus.

This so-called labor will build up their muscles.

"Anyway, I will repeat this again, today, for the sake of money, we will be doing the first small but precious shoveling activity. It'll be used for the civilian's ondol room construction project. That means you'll be transporting the clay from here to the construction site."

"... Yes, Tobias-sama,"

Several soldiers reluctantly responded making me irritated.

"Okay, so let's start with stretching."

"Pardon?"

"Do you guys do not have any common sense? What? You want to get hurt while working? If you excessively move the materials while having a stiff body, because you guys are so lazy as fuck, your back could've given out and your knees could've been sprained. In that case, you're the one who would be at loss. Do you get it? This is why you need to warm up."

"..."

"Follow me. One, two."

"O, one... two..."

"WHAT ARE YOU A WUSS! YOU GUYS CALL YOUSELVES SHINOBIS WITH THAT PUNY VOICE! LOUDER!"

I snickered as their expression turned into horror, "O... ONE, TWO....."

While at a construction site, stretching is more important than you think. The ground usually was uneven all over or littered with dangerous things everywhere. Like most construction sites, the condition would be poor. What if you move heavy stuff in a place like that with a stiff body? The probability of accidents occurring will increase. And I do not want to spend my golden days savings just to treat a bunch of shitheads who lack common sense.

After finished stretching, I assembled the soldiers in a circle and raised my arms.

"Follow me. Hands up."

Jajajak!

The soldiers looked around and intuitively raised their arms. I smirk at how they diligently followed my order. A second later I began shouting, leading the chant.

"I LIKE TO WEAR FU, EHEM, HELMETS!"

Tak!

Tak!

I hit the helmet that I'm currently wearing with my hand. the soldiers repeated my actions and copied the movements.

"Ah, I like... wearing safety helmets!"

"Well done. I like wearing safety gloves!"

"I like wearing safety gloves!"

"I really like wearing safety shoes!"

"I really like...."

Looking at this scene now from a third person, it was like kindergarten-level childish slogan and inspection process. In fact, I only did this to make sure that the rules would go through these shitheads thick skulls.

"Don't forget the safety rules! If you think you're going to forget, you should take a look at this."

He picked up the sign he had made beforehand and planted it on the ground.

On the sign, words were thriftily written.

「All workers!

Let's follow the safety regulations on-site.

Without a safety helmet, you could get brain death and which could perhaps make you a retard!

If you hurry to do your work as if you're pressed on time, you would become a special patient who will no doubt be living at the Hospital for the rest of your life!

You're tired of using safety shoes?! If yes! Then let me tell you that just so you know that your big toe is ready to achieve three stages of separation!

Do you think these are all lies?

Then ignore the advice no doubt that the Shinigami will welcome you with open arms along with a handful of dioxins. You think it's someone else's story, right? LOL.」

I felt satisfied after seeing the horror face they had and their jaws on the floor. I could see one of them swallowing a fly, unbeknownst to them. Hehehehe, seems using vulgar words were worth it.

"Good. Let's get started when you're ready. Group one will shovel the clay and put it in a sack. Group 2 will carry the sacks. Do it!"

"Yes, sir!"

The transportation work had begun. The soldiers' movements were quick, perhaps due to the intense mental education I gave just now? No doubt it was because of it, anyways nonetheless pf anything else, I was delighted to see it.

They're shinobis that belinged to the Yamanaka Clan, so they're relatively obedient. I'm glad brother allowed me to pick them out

Tomorrow, Early Morning...

"I'm sorry I didn't believe in your capabilities." Inoichi apologize to his younger brother, the only family he had left. (Exeptional of the Yamanaka Clan, obviously).

"It's fine." Tobias made a gesture of hand that meant 'forget about it'. "I would have reached the same, if I were in your place."

"Good," Inoichi smiled, "Also, since you're almost seven, I think it's time for you to meet your future team members, each that respectively came from the Nara and the Akamichi Clan."

'Right! I almost forgot about this traditional Ino-Shika-Cho Trio. Because I had requested to brother to use his authority to immidiately promote me into becoming a shinobi once I've finish my training. And because of my training, I wasn't able to see my future team members when I was five years old.'

(First Person PoV) [Inserting Tobias' Perspective]

"Fine! But I want an Akamichi that knows how to use the Super Multi-Size Jutsu!" I added a condition that made my brother chuckle.

"I knew you'd want someone from the Akamichi that knows the Super Multi-Size Jutsu so I had requested Akamichi Choza, the current Clan Head and a close friend of mine, for someone like that a lot earlier."

"Nice to meet'cha, names Nara Shikaharu." A lazy voice that came out from the mouth of the six-years-old boy with his hair tied up in a pony-tail.

"I'm, munch, munch, Akamichi Choki," A fat boy who looked like he'd prefer the snack rather than this official meeting continuesly munched.

"Yamanaka Tobias." I introduced myself to them.

However, instead of the silent atmosphere that I expected to be followed after my introduction, a look of suprise greeted me.

"What's up?"

"What do you mean what's up?" Choki, who ate his snack cheerfully didn't pay any attention to that snakc that was now on the ground, "You're 'the' Tobias, Tobias?"

What? I blink two times before a sudden realization hit me. I didn't expect that it'd be that fast. The Nara boy chime in, I assume that he'd taken my silence as puzzlement.

"What a drag," he groaned, "I knew that this meeting would be troublesome but I didn't knew that it'd be this troublesome." Shikaharu expressed his thoughts, emphasizing the 'this' in his sentence, he sighed, "Your ondol project had been so famous that it caught the eyes and ears of the Clan Heads, including the Four Great Noble Clan."

I turned around, grinning greedily as I thought of the money. Jobless Life, I'm almost there, wait for me. I though rather emotionally.

"But the past month, people from each of the clans that had been sent out to search for you but was only meet by your companions."

Ahhh, right, fuck. I left Vū in charge at the construction site, to resume my neglected training, and left him in charge to train the Engineering Unit in hopes of them being able to use the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

"Tobias, the Akamichi Clan would like to order the Type B Ondol!"

"Hold your horses Choki, with the orders Tobias have recieve, I'm pretty sure he'd be busy. So we'd have to wait for out turn—"

I tuned out from their bickering. Here it is! The long awaited first step of the big picture to achieve the goal of being a jobless rich man.I guess I really didn't build the andol for only civilians to buy them at a cheap prize! You know what?! I'll raise the price higher using the excuse of their district house being larger than I had thought it'd be and sweep up sixty percent of their money!

Kekekekekekekeke

"Oh not at all!" I interfered in their conversation, "My team and I have already finished making the orders of the civilians. My team and I will no doubt be ecstatic to work with you!"

Except, his team weren't so ecstatic to recieve a new order just as after they had finished their previous work.
