A Monkey Cuts Down Some Trees

Spoiler:

Sandayu walked down into the forest woods near the old man’s house. He was touched by the old man’s kindness and geneoristy. It contrasted with the pungent taste of the dirty old man he had worked for. Sandayu would work for that man to bring out the wood. “Oya-ji! Ji-ji! I’m gonna go out now!” he said. He had an iron axe designed to cut down trees. He located the right and perfect trees for the job. The wood can’t be too rough or tough. It needs to be relatively easy to set up a spark. There has to be some friction. The friction cannot be too strong that it creates a fire-storm, though.

Sandayu gripped onto the handle of the wooden shaft. It was nice and easy. It was also hard and rough. Sandayu liked to exercise his strength. He wanted to build durable enough muscles one day so he cna just go around and knock out some thugs in a bar. That would be the day of his prime. He swung at the tree with a casual level of strength. The axe sliced a fourth of the way into the bark. He was a Taijutsu expert so his arms were capable of this kind of physical labor. Sandayu launched another strike at the open slit. He slit it half-way now. He continued to swing for the next ten minutes. Sweat build in his armpits and one can even see droplets flicking from his forehead. Sandayu was able to fall the tree.

Sandayu moved onto the next tree. The second tree was more durable. It took him 34 swings to cut it down. The third one took 41. Sandayu wiped off his forehead. He was in a half-soaked white t-shirt. He butchered the trees into four pieces. He would carry them back to the old man's house one by one. The whole ordeal took 4 hours. "Ji-ji! I'm back! Is this all you need?I could get you some more wood. Wouldn't wanna leave you cold in this house." "Thank you so much for your help. If only there were more people like you who would help an old man like me. Don't forget SAndayu. Show off the honor of the SArutobi clan!"

~ And so Sandayu remembered to plant back the seeds to help the tree grow again ~
