Naka River Canyon, on the east side of the reservoir construction site, there was a huge clearing that had been specially cleared out.
This was the "hottest" place on the entire construction site, and also the most spectacular.
Hundreds of Uchiha clansmen, wearing Military Police Force uniforms, were lined up here in several huge phalanxes.
In front of them were huge molds made of refractory materials. The Earth Release squad ninja were continuously pouring concrete slurry, mixed according to a special formula, into these molds.
This was the work site of the "Uchiha Barbecue Team."
"Everyone, pull yourselves together!"
Uchiha Tekka, the head of the Military Police Force, stood on a high command platform, holding a huge tin horn, shouting loudly.
Beside him, Uchiha Kagami looked helpless.
"Tekka, do we really have to use the name 'Barbecue Team'? It sounds weird."
Kagami complained in a low voice.
"Clan Head, you don't understand."
Tekka replied with a serious face, "This is a nickname personally bestowed upon us by Lord Hokage! It represents Lord Hokage's recognition of our Uchiha flames! We must carry it forward!"
Uchiha Kagami: "..."
He felt that Lord Hokage might have just been joking at the time.
"First Squad, ready!"
Tekka raised the command flag in his hand high.
Below, the Uchiha ninja of the first phalanx immediately took a deep breath, their chests puffing up high. Their hands flew through seals, their movements uniform and pleasing to the eye.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
As Tekka's command flag swung down violently.
Boom—!
Hundreds of huge fireballs, like a meteor shower, spewed from their mouths, carrying scorching heat, and landed precisely on those huge concrete molds.
The flames raged, burning the gray slurry red-hot. The air was distorted by the high temperature, and heat waves rolled, making for a magnificent scene.
"Whoa!!"
The craftsmen and ninja watching from afar gasped in amazement.
When had they ever seen such a spectacular sight?
Nearly a hundred Uchiha clansmen releasing the Great Fireball Technique simultaneously—this was something only seen on the most brutal battlefields in the past.
But now, this destructive power, capable of destroying cities and strongholds, was being used to... sinter concrete.
Under the exquisite chakra control of the Uchiha ninja, the flames formed a stable, continuously burning force field of fire, enveloping the entire mold.
The moisture in the slurry evaporated rapidly under the high temperature, making a "sizzling" sound, as if a huge piece of pork belly was being roasted on an iron plate.
The air was filled with the special smell of scorched rock.
"Keep the temperature between 1400 and 1500 degrees! Pay attention to the uniformity of chakra output! No local overheating!"
Uchiha Tekka, the impartial head of the Military Police Force, was pacing back and forth between the ranks with his hands behind his back, his sharp eyes scrutinizing the performance of every clansman.
He was like the strictest instructor; not even the slightest mistake could escape his eyes.
"Hey, kid on the far left! Your fireball is off by five degrees! Do you want to roast your clansman next to you too?"
"You over there! Yes, you, Fugaku! Your chakra output is unstable, fluctuating high and low. Are you roasting sweet potatoes?! Show the same energy you use when chasing girls!"
Uchiha Fugaku, a young man with a calm face and sharp eyes, blushed slightly and hurriedly adjusted his chakra output to make the flame more stable.
The Uchiha of the third squad let out low, good-natured chuckles.
"Hahaha, Fugaku, don't blush!"
