"Anyone who dares to scare him, bully him, or make him suffer, I will send them back to the Pure Land Space when I return."
Hashirama's expression turned serious.
Ban's expression changed as well.
Pure Land Space.
These four words are more effective at deterring them than deducting wages or stopping them from drinking.
There's no beer there.
No Coke.
There was no hot pot.
There was no daily routine in the tavern.
Only boundless silence.
Hashirama immediately stood up straight.
"Don't worry, boss!"
I will definitely follow the arrangements.
"I will never touch alcohol, and I will never let myself be wronged."
Ban remained silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
I won't bully him.
"It will not damage the ice storage."
Bai stood beside Zhang Yu, feeling a warmth in her heart.
" Boss Zhang Yu, I'll keep an eye on the drinks."
Please rest assured.
Jiraiya stood at the door and witnessed the whole process.
He glanced at Hashirama Senju.
Then look at Madara Uchiha.
The two figures who stood at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World immediately straightened their posture and solemnly promised not to disobey Zhang Yu's words, "Send them back to the Pure Land Space."
Jiraiya felt a chill run down his spine.
Only at this moment did he truly understand how terrifying Zhang Yu's control over the Undead Tavern was.
Even the most formidable figures in the Shinobi World, such as Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, lacked the slightest confidence to put up a fight against Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu followed Jiraiya out of the tavern.
The wind chimes by the door swayed a few times.
Jiraiya glanced back at the sign.
"Your tavern is certainly interesting."
" The First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and Madara Uchiha are all working for you inside."
"I've never even dreamed of seeing something like this before."
Zhang Yu casually replied, "You get used to it after seeing it a lot."
Jiraiya lowered his straw hat.
"You seem to have it easy."
"If that news gets to other ninja villages, the entire Shinobi World will be thrown into chaos."
That's their business.
Zhang Yu walked towards the hot spring street.
"Aren't we going to gather materials today?"
"Certainly!"
Jiraiya immediately perked up at the mention of research.
"The most important thing in writing novels is observation."
"The characters' actions, speech patterns, and even the smallest details of their daily lives must all be meticulously observed."
Zhang Yu glanced at him.
You'd better actually be observing life.
Jiraiya's expression turned serious.
You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my attitude towards creation.
The two quickly walked away.
The tavern doors closed again.
Less than five minutes later, Madara Uchiha, who had been sitting in the corner, stood up.
Hashirama Senju also put down the cup in his hand.
The two looked at each other across the front hall.
Hashirama first glanced at the doorway.
Then he looked at the entrance to the icehouse, which was sealed by ice.
"The boss should be far away by now, right?"
Ban said calmly, "The footsteps haven't been heard for a long time."
They lowered their voices Hashirama.
"So what do we do next?"
Ban looked at him but did not answer.
Hashirama was also looking at Madara.
After a brief silence, their gazes simultaneously turned to the freezer.
There was a row of chilled Cokes there.
Water droplets clung to the bottle.
You can see the bubbles constantly rising inside even through the glass.
Hashirama swallowed hard.
"Spot."
"The boss just said that no one is allowed to drink alcohol secretly."
Spotted head.
"I heard you."
Hashirama asked, "Did he say we weren't allowed to drink cola?"
Ban said coldly, "No."
Hashirama's eyes lit up.
So, drinking Coke doesn't count as disobeying orders?
"Of course not."
The spotted creature walked towards the freezer.
"The boss was referring to the wine cabinet and the underground cold storage."
"This is a freezer."
"It contains cola."
Hashirama quickly followed.
"That makes sense!"
"We're not stealing alcohol, we're just taking a few bottles of Coke to quench our thirst."
Ban reached out and pulled open the cabinet door.
A blast of cold air rushed out.
Hashirama immediately peeked inside.
"Many."
Will the boss be able to count when he gets back?
Ban paused for a moment.
He turned to look at Hashirama.
Are you scared?
Hashirama immediately straightened his back.
How could I be afraid?
"I just feel that the boss specifically instructed us to respect his arrangements before he left."
Madara sneered.
"Then go back and sit down."
The Hashirama didn't move.
His gaze remained fixed on the cola.
"I can sit."
"But bring out two bottles first."
Ban looked at him.
"Shouldn't we be respecting the boss's arrangements?"
Hashirama explained carefully.
The boss forbids us from stealing alcohol.
"We're not stealing."
"We can drink it openly and honestly."
Spotted head.
That's more like it.
Hashirama reached out and took out two bottles, then, feeling it wasn't enough, took out another one.
Ban also took out three bottles.
Six bottles of chilled cola were placed on the table.
The two sat down together, neither of them in a hurry to start the car.
Hashirama stared at the bottle cap.
"Ban, are we really okay like this?"
Ban unscrewed a bottle.
The problem is with you.
"The boss hasn't come back yet; you've asked three times already."
With a soft pop, bubbles rushed to the mouth of the bottle.
Ban tilted his head back and took a big gulp.
Hashirama immediately stopped hesitating and opened a bottle as well.
"Cool!"
The two had only taken a few sips of their drinks when Bai came out from behind the bar.
He was still holding a rag in his hand.
Upon seeing the six bottles of cola on the table, he froze on the spot.
" Lord Hashirama."
" Lord Madara."
Hashirama held the cola, his smile somewhat stiff.
"Bai, what's wrong?"
Bai glanced at the bottles in their hands.
Before leaving, Boss Zhang Yu instructed us not to drink any alcohol without permission.
Ban corrected, "He was talking about alcohol."
Bai whispered, "But he also told you not to touch the liquor cabinet or the freezer."
The spot points towards the freezer.
We didn't touch the liquor cabinet.
"It didn't go into the freezer either."
This is a freezer.
Bai was taken aback by what he said.
He felt something was off.
But every word Ban said seemed to make sense.
Hashirama took the opportunity to nod.
"Bai, don't worry."
"We didn't steal the wine."
"We were just having chilled Coke in the lobby as usual."
Bai looked at the six bottles on the table.
"But Boss Zhang Yu will check the quantity."
Hashirama glanced down.
"Only six bottles are missing, it should be fine, right?"
Bai became even more nervous.
" Lord Hashirama, this isn't a matter of quantity."
" Boss Zhang Yu asked you and Lord Madara to stay at the store because he trusts you."
The cola in Hashirama's hand suddenly didn't taste so sweet anymore.
He looked at Ban.
"Ban, should we put it back?"
Ban glanced at the half-empty can of cola in his hand.
Are you going to pour it back into the bottle?
Hashirama looked down.
"It doesn't seem like it will work."
"Then finish it."
That makes sense.
Seeing that he had started drinking again, Bai quickly went to the table.
Please wait a moment.
Hashirama stopped moving.
Bai mustered his courage and reached out to press down on the remaining unopened bottles of cola.
"You can't drink any more of this."
Ban looked up at him.
Bai's fingers trembled slightly.
Madara Uchiha was just sitting there, and the pressure he exuded made him dare not move.
Not to mention that Hashirama Senju next to him.
None of them were people he could stop.
But before Zhang Yu left, he entrusted the drinks to him for safekeeping.
He can't do nothing.
Bai moved the unopened can of cola closer to himself.
" Boss Zhang Yu asked me to keep an eye on the drinks."
"Please, gentlemen, do not put me in a difficult position."
