The first thing Jay did when he returned to his village was check on the situation in the rice fields.
The reason Jay did this was because in less than a week, all the rice would be ready for harvest.
And during this time, the drought had worsened, with the water flow of the Anak Adam River decreasing.
Even the lower rice fields near the river were becoming increasingly difficult to irrigate.
So, relying on the river's water flow was no longer possible, and he could only use his ninja powers.
Jay was able to make changes to the rice fields, but due to the limited power of his shadow clones,
This hampered Jay's nighttime irrigation.
In this case, his shadow clones were only able to irrigate a little over half of the village's farmland.
As for the rest, he could do nothing but let the villagers irrigate the remaining land themselves.
Fortunately, under the leadership of the village head, all the villagers worked together in the development effort.
Using both human and animal power, the villagers collected water from the low-lying Anak Adam River.
Transporting it using tanks mounted on carts, they then transported it to the farmland that was without water.
In this way, the entire village was mobilized for more than half a day to irrigate the rice fields in higher areas or in areas that were difficult to reach.
So, with good cooperation, the rice fields were basically in a fairly healthy condition.
However, Jay realized that if this continued, their harvest would likely decrease by 10-20%.
So, Jay decided to return to his village every night to replenish the water shortage.
He hoped that the resulting harvest would be sufficient for all the villagers' needs.
And today, after using his copying ability on his lover, he chose the Water Dragon Jutsu.
Jay chose to use the jutsu upstream of the Anak Adam River because, with the power of the water dragon he unleashed, it would be problematic if he used it directly on the rice fields.
Because it could cause severe damage, it was safer to use two different methods for irrigation.
"A glass... Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu..." A large water dragon immediately appeared and swiftly struck the Anak Adam River.
Jay, seeing his chakra reserves still plentiful, performed the jutsu several times. Perhaps due to the proximity of water, the jutsu was relatively easy for him.
Only after performing the Water Dragon Jutsu five times did Jay begin to realize that his chakra had decreased by almost half.
"Yes, it's quite good to be able to use the Water Dragon Jutsu five times, which is classified as an A-rank or even S-rank jutsu.
So let's do it a few more times and finish it quickly." Jay, having seen the limits of his recitation ability, quickly formed a seal and released the Water Dragon Jutsu again.
After performing the technique three more times, Jay, feeling quite satisfied, decided to walk into the forest and see if he could gather more.
He needed to gather at least 10,000 kg of wild plants and animals within the forest. After all, he needed at least 10,000 kg of meat this time to upgrade his space level again.
And that meat could only be obtained from outside the space, or in other words, Jay could only hunt manually to replenish the amount of meat required by the system.
Relying on his greatly improved abilities, Jay entered the depths of the forest and began to search and scan the surrounding area.
With his sharpened ninja perception, Jay found that it wasn't too difficult to spot the many wild animals within the forest.
However, Jay wasn't interested in wild animals that were only in small numbers, so this time, he only chose wild animals that were in groups.
Finally, deep in the forests of Mount Adam, in an uninhabited valley.
A loud snoring sound reached Jay's ears.
"There's a snoring sound, and from the intensity, it seems like a herd of wild animals..."
And immediately chose to approach the source of the snoring sound.
Soon, under the bright moon in a clearing, a herd of dark-skinned wild boars was seen sleeping soundly, and a group of them...
A large herd.
Seeing the large herd of wild boars, Jay's face brightened.
"I seem to be very lucky this time, there are 30 to 40 wild boars of various sizes in this herd.
Thinking about that number, I feel that tonight's trip has been very profitable.
However, on the other hand, it seems this also poses a threat to the village, with such a large number of wild boars.
The joy it brings will be immense, but I wonder why these wild boars haven't come down the mountain yet." While Jay was happy about the discovery of the wild boar herd,
Jay also realized the crisis this herd of wild boars posed, but after examining the area where the forest was abandoned, he realized that this valley seemed to have a sufficient water source and abundant vegetation.
This allowed the wild boars to live quite comfortably there.
"Okay... let's keep them all indoors," Jay walked lightly toward the herd of wild boars.
From there, the wild boars within reach of his space were immediately brought in.
And within moments, all the wild boars were successfully brought into his space.
[The total number of wild boars was calculated to be 7210 kg] a system notification sound rang in Jay's ears.
"Ohhh, this wild boar weighs over 7000 kg, that's a lot!" Jay commented with a happy and surprised expression.
"Okay, let's continue looking for other wild animals." Jay then left the valley and walked deeper into the forest.
Finally, after walking for almost an hour from the last valley where he found the wild boar herd,
Jay again encountered another group of animals gathered together, this time a herd of wild goats.
The herd appeared to number in the dozens. Seeing this, Jay naturally didn't let the wild goats go to waste.
So, after a few minutes, Jay brought the entire herd back into his space.
It was only when Jay had finished bringing the entire group into his space that his danger instincts went off.
Jay reacted quickly, climbing the nearest tree to his side and climbing high.
Only then could Jay get a clearer view of the danger looming ahead.
Under the bright moonlight, several wolves emerged from behind a bush not too far from Jay's position.
Seeing this, Jay felt quite surprised, but also a little happy, as this was the first time he had encountered a pack of wolves outside the forest.
