Seeing that he was about to be involved in trouble again, Mizuki's face suddenly fell. Originally, it was just an inspection of the barrier maintenance, and he also asked to find out the true situation of the Death Forest and evaluate the examination venue for next year's Chunin Exam. He didn't expect to get into such a troublesome matter.

After hearing what Nara Shikamaru said, Tsunade asked, "What is the specific plan?"

"Use the barrier to mitigate climate change, and then artificially release bait to maintain the operation of the food chain!"

Nara Shikamaru replied.

"I knew this guy was going to get himself into trouble. What does 'climate change mitigation' mean? Do you think it means lighting a brazier at home?"

"Boundary? Can this be done? What is the cost?"

Nara Shikamaru took out a document and handed it to Tsunade.

"Are you prepared? Is this a trap for me?"

Shuimu twitched his lips, but didn't say anything.

Tsunade casually flipped through the documents Shikamaru handed over, then handed them to Mizuki.

"Can you see if this can be accomplished?"

Mizuki took it and looked at the contents, and he understood. It seems that the problem has existed for a long time, but there has been no good solution. From Nara Shikamaru's plan, it can be seen that even if he did not conduct on-site inspections and did not understand the conditions inside very clearly, he still understood the general problems he would face.

"It is possible to modify the existing barrier of the Death Forest. But since it costs so much, why not choose another place to build a new examination room?"

Although it is a bit troublesome, it can be done as long as you are willing to invest. The key is whether it is worth it. It is not cost-effective to make a big fuss about a ready-made excellent training ground just because the climate problem will affect the Chunin Exam. In this case, it is not too late to start from scratch and find a suitable place to build another one. Wouldn't it be better to gain another trial ground?

Tsunade replied, "We have encountered similar problems before, and there is indeed more than one place similar to the Death Forest in the village. There are also several suitable places in the Land of Fire that have been used as test sites. But later they were gradually abandoned because the cost of maintenance was too high. Only one is enough."

To put it bluntly, it's a matter of money. There is no need to build a trial field with the same function in the Death Forest, which is only used a few times a year.

"There is another problem, which is time and manpower. It takes time to transform the barrier, and it takes even more time to change the ecology inside after the barrier takes effect. Is there enough time?"

There are still about three months left, and it is still unknown whether the problems inside can be solved. This is not like turning on the heating in a room. It requires a huge amount of energy, and ordinary methods will definitely not work. Only the ninja's chakra can be used to fill the gap.

“Is it too late to start implementing it immediately?”

Shuimu shook his head and said, "The growth cycle of organisms cannot be completed overnight. I can raise the temperature inside the Death Forest barrier. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the plan can be completed in a week. It will take another week to lay and change the barrier. It will take another one to two weeks to completely stabilize it. Is a mere two months enough?"

The calendar of the Ninja World does not have many distinctions. In the Land of Fire, the rotation of seasons is extremely obvious. Basically, there will not be too many miracles.

"What are the specific difficulties?" Tsunade asked with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't mean that everything will return to normal quickly if the temperature rises. There are transitions from winter to summer, and from spring to autumn. We can change some things, but only when the grass sprouts and grows, insects and other animals will begin to reproduce. When the temperature reaches a certain level, more predators will recover, and the entire ecological chain will slowly recover. Each step is linked to another, and it is not something that can be done in a short period of time. It is difficult to achieve this in less than two months."

Hearing Mizuki's question, Nara Shikamaru on the side interjected: "Then Mr. Mizuki, can we artificially accelerate this process? For example, release a large number of insects to allow the bottom of the food chain to recover first! Or capture some animals and release them in the Death Forest?"

"Do you know how troublesome this is, Shikamaru?" Mizuki replied with a wry smile, "Maintaining the barrier already requires a large number of ninjas to rotate, where would they have the time to do something like this?"

"Let the Genin do it!" Nara Shikamaru answered preparedly, "We just need to issue some D-level missions and let the Genin teams complete the capture missions. Besides, the number of missions has decreased recently, so it's a good thing to give them something to do."

"Genin? You are really mean to let them make your exam more difficult, Shikamaru." Mizuki couldn't help but smile, "Okay, you do have a point on this point. It's okay to leave some small things to them, but what about the barrier? I can work with those people in the barrier class to transform the barrier of the Death Forest, but maintaining such a large-scale barrier is not something that a few people can do. I don't think Konoha can waste a large number of manpower on such a place now."

Tsunade suddenly said, "This can be solved!"

"Solve it?" Mizuki looked at Tsunade in surprise and asked, "Tsunade-sama, where can we find so many rich people to do this kind of thing now? It's not enough to just find a few Genin. They need a large amount of chakra and strong control. A weak Chunin is useless."

"Konoha still has many excellent ninjas." Tsunade looked at Mizuki meaningfully, "Can Danzo give us some help?"

"Well?"

Mizuki was really surprised that it was the Root led by Danzo Shimura who wanted to interfere in the Chunin Exams.

"At times like this, the ninjas in the village need to unite to overcome the difficulties. Don't be too resistant when working with them. They have asked for increased security for the Chunin Exam several times. It's a good opportunity to transform the barrier of the Death Forest."

"Elder Danzo?" Nara Shikamaru was a little confused. It seemed that Tsunade and Mizuki were a little afraid of this person.

Mizuki patted Shikamaru's shoulder and said, "You don't need to worry about these for now. I'll take care of it!"

Mizuki, who was unaware that Danzo's Kotoamatsukami had entered a long buffer recovery period, couldn't help but become cautious.

"It seems your father didn't tell you about this person!" Tsunade said to Shikamaru who was a little puzzled: "Many Konoha ninjas don't like him, but no one doubts his loyalty to Konoha."

"If you turn these two sentences around, many people will agree with them!" Mizuki said, "He really won't betray Konoha, but many ninjas still don't like him!"
