Half an hour later, all three had eaten their fill. Hana said, "Our teacher's been gone so long. Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Slumped in the booth, Yumengliang said, "He probably ate too fast and upset his stomach. Let's wait a little longer."
Another half hour passed, and the three finally sensed something was wrong. Just then, a server brought over a long bill and said, "Please settle your bill first."
All three were stunned. What was going on? Hana said, "Our teacher's paying for this meal. P-please go ask him for the money!"

Tobirama Senju glared at him. "Get to the point. What do you want?"
Itō Yuying said, "I'm very pleased with those three children. Your eye for talent really is amazing, Teacher!" He
