Iwagakure was one of the luckiest villages to have a nearby goldmine to supplement its income. For many moons, the mines had slowly been carved out, providing a small bonus to the village and its citizens throughout the years. Eventually, the amount of gold they got out of the mine didn’t seem worth it for the teams of villagers that it would call it their profession, and as of late, there was only one group who continued in the hunt for gold. The shinobi began to forget about the mine altogether and soon the well-kept tunnels and entrances had fallen into disarray.
However, as of late, rocks and ore had been pouring out of the mine. The group seemed to be going through miles of tunnels within a week, and was pouring out gold for the village. As of late, ounces upon ounces had been smelted by local metallurgists, with most of it split between the workers and the village. The citizens of Iwa were in shocked that they could be finding gold so quickly, especially with just simple hammers and the new addition of a villager, with the only downside being the very loud crashes and sounds of falling rocks that could be heard near the entrance. With this somewhat suspicious activity, some of the shinobi had begun to grow suspicious of some of the miners and their abilities.
Daisuke, the newest worker of the bunch, continued to swing away at the rocks in front of him. Deep within the mines, he utilized his hammer and axe to move mounds of rocks and stones out of his path, splitting apart sizable boulders with a hearty swing. He wiped the sweat off his brow before he continued searching for the precious ores, working alone deep inside the mines.
