All three of them gasped simultaneously.
That's the Second Hokage.
One of the founders of Konoha.
He developed numerous Ninjutsu, established the ninja village system, and personally trained the legendary ninja who became the Third Hokage.
This person was actually sitting behind the bar at the Undead Tavern checking his free meal voucher.
And I just checked the three coupons three times.
Tenten, I feel a chill run down my spine just thinking about how I had just asked the other person if they were the boss.
"Is... really the Second?"
Kakashi nodded.
"Absolutely true."
"But you must remember."
This matter is strictly forbidden to be disclosed.
He looked at the three of them, his tone even more serious than when he was on a mission.
"Currently, only a few people in Konoha know anything about the Lord First, the Second, and the others in the tavern."
With the Chunin Ninja Exams approaching, ninjas from various villages are heading to Konoha.
"Once the news leaks, other ninja villages will definitely send people to investigate."
"If the situation becomes serious, it could even affect the entire Shinobi World."
Neji agreed.
I won't tell anyone.
Tenten nodded quickly.
I promise to keep it a secret.
Rock Lee clenched his fist.
I will protect this secret with my youth and my life!
Kakashi glanced at him.
"Just keep it a secret as usual."
"Stop shouting about youth and life everywhere."
"Clear!"
Rock Lee subconsciously raised his voice.
When he noticed Tobirama looking up at him, he quickly lowered his voice.
"I see."
Kakashi was still somewhat uneasy.
He took a flashlight out of his ninja tool bag.
Smack
The flashlight turned on.
Tenten was stunned.
" Kakashi-sensei, what are you going to do with this?"
Kakashi did not answer.
He held the flashlight under his chin, the light shining upwards onto his face.
A mask covered half of her face.
The exposed eye was cut in half by the shadow.
"Now that you've entered this place, you should understand one thing."
Kakashi deliberately lowered his voice.
This is not an ordinary tavern.
"This place is called the Undead Tavern."
"Since it's Undead Tavern, what's so strange about having a few people who are already dead inside?"
Staring at his face illuminated by the flashlight Tenten, my back started to tense up.
" Kakashi-sensei."
Don't talk to me like that.
Kakashi didn't stop.
The Second Hokage has been dead for many years.
"But now I sit before you once more."
"Then, could there be other spirits in the backyard?"
"And behind you, is there someone else standing?"
My body stiffens every Tenten.
She wanted to turn back, but she didn't dare to.
The moment Kakashi finished speaking, all the lights in the tavern went out simultaneously.
Snap!
The foyer was plunged into darkness.
Only the flashlight in Kakashi's hand was still lit.
A faint light shone on his face.
The bar, tables, chairs, and people standing around were all reduced to blurry outlines.
"Ah!"
She screams on the spot Tenten.
She grabbed Neji's arm and almost hid behind him.
Rock Lee was so frightened that he took a step back.
"What... what happened?"
Neji didn't say anything, but his shoulders tensed up.
Kakashi was also stunned.
He just wanted to scare the three of them.
Unexpectedly, the tavern really did experience a power outage.
Behind the bar, Tobirama sat in the darkness, looking up towards the office.
He didn't need to guess to know who did it.
Zhang Yu controlled the power supply for the entire tavern.
What a coincidence that the power outage happened.
Inside the office.
Zhang Yu sat in the chair, his fingers just removing them from the control panel.
On the screen, Tenten's screams were clearly audible.
" Kakashi is quite cooperative."
"If I don't turn off the lights, all his words will be wasted."
No sooner had he finished speaking than two arms suddenly appeared around his waist.
Sakura hugged him from behind, pressing her body against the back of the chair.
The office was also completely dark.
Only the virtual screen still retained a sliver of light.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
Why did the power suddenly go out?
Sakura's voice sounded a little strained.
She's not usually a little timid.
Just as Kakashi finished speaking about the dead in the front hall, the tavern suddenly plunged into darkness.
Indeed, many spirits reside here.
It was hard for her not to be afraid.
Zhang Yu patted her hand.
"I just turned off the lights."
There are no ghosts in this world.
Sakura held onto his arm tightly.
"Real?"
"Real."
Zhang Yu answered naturally.
But after he finished speaking, he glanced at Tobirama on the screen again.
The tavern's staff were originally undead.
Saying there are no ghosts in the world doesn't seem very convincing.
However, Sakura was unaware that he was deliberately cooperating with Kakashi.
After hearing the explanation, she quickly relaxed.
"So it was you who turned it off."
"I thought..."
"In what way?"
"Nothing."
Sakura coughed lightly before slowly releasing her grip.
No one spoke in the lobby downstairs.
The darkness lasted for a few seconds.
Tenten's scream just now still seemed to linger in everyone's ears.
She gripped Neji's arm tightly, her face already burning.
She was the only one in the entire front hall who called out.
Even Rock Lee only took a step back.
That's so embarrassing.
The lights came back on the next second.
The tavern lights came on again.
Tenten immediately released Neji, pretending nothing had happened.
Neji glanced at his wrinkled sleeves but didn't expose her.
Rock Lee then looked up to check the roof lights.
Was there a power outage just now?
Kakashi put away the flashlight.
"Now you should understand."
Don't be alarmed by anything that happens in the Undead Tavern.
She glared at him Tenten.
"You were just trying to scare us, weren't you?"
"I'm just reminding you to keep this a secret."
"Then why did the power go out at that particular time?"
"You'd have to ask the tavern owner."
Kakashi glanced towards the office.
He had already guessed that Zhang Yu was cooperating.
Tobirama also lowered his head and continued checking the accounts.
After the tavern lights were restored, the three Genin finally began to accept the reality before them.
This place indeed holds a secret that Konoha cannot reveal.
The Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, has truly been resurrected.
Might Guy stood to the side, staring at Tobirama for a long time.
His brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
Suddenly, he clapped his hands.
"I remember now!"
Everyone looked at him at the same time.
Might Guy pointed to the bar.
"You are the Second Hokage!"
Kakashi's eye twitched.
"You only recognize me now?"
Might Guy looked utterly shocked.
"So you really did come back to life!"
"I've been passing through the front hall all week, and I didn't recognize you at all!"
Tobirama looked up at him.
"I can tell."
Might Guy then turned to look at the back door.
His expression quickly became even more exaggerated.
"Etc!"
"What if you were the Second Hokage?"
"Then Mr. Hashirama's been digging the pool with us these past few days, could he be...?"
Kakashi sighed.
" The Lord First Hokage Hashirama Senju."
Might Guy froze on the spot.
The First Hokage?
"I've been digging a swimming pool with the First Hokage all week?"
"Right."
"The one who sits in the shade every day, reminding us to hurry up?"
"It was him too."
