Jiraiya said, "We have no intention of interfering in Konoha's affairs."
Hiruzen Sarutobi silent for a moment.
"For this Chunin Ninja Exams, ninjas from all the villages have gathered in Konoha."
"The personnel are diverse, and accidents can happen at any time."
"If the Lord First and Second were willing to secretly protect the examination hall, many problems could be solved."
Jiraiya leaned back in his chair.
"Old man, you're oversimplifying things."
"They're now pub staff."
"We will not act without Zhang Yu's consent."
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.
"Can't you try to persuade him?"
"I've already tried."
Jiraiya waved his hand.
Zhang Yu explained it very clearly.
"As long as no one causes trouble at the tavern, he won't interfere with outside affairs."
Chunin Ninja Exams go well or not has nothing to do with him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table.
" The Lord First and the Second were ultimately the Hokage of Konoha."
"Having them protect Konoha secretly isn't considered interfering with the outside world."
"Go and tell Zhang Yu that."
Jiraiya looked at him.
"I don't want to run into a brick wall again."
Hiruzen Sarutobi glared at him.
"Didn't you keep going to the tavern?"
That's an investigation.
"And get some Coca-Cola while you're at it."
Jiraiya answered confidently and righteously.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was too lazy to expose him.
We have to think of a way.
"At least have the Lord First and Second keep an eye on Konoha during the exams."
Jiraiya stroked his chin.
A direct request won't work.
"We can try another way."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up.
What's your idea?
Jiraiya had pulled up a list of exam room arrangements.
The master and apprentice lowered their voices and began to discuss the matter around the table.
One week later.
The outdoor swimming pool in the backyard of the Undead Tavern is now fully completed.
A 50-meter-long pool lies between the apartment and the vegetable garden.
The shallow water area, deep water area, and the gentle slope in the middle were all repaired according to Zhang Yu's requirements.
The pool walls and bottom have also undergone final processing.
Six construction workers stood by the pool, too exhausted to move.
Might Guy, however, remained spirited.
"Done!"
"This is the youth swimming pool we built together!"
Kakashi threw the shovel aside.
"At least we don't have to dig anymore."
Jiraiya sat on the ground.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"You can't back out of your party spot."
Zabuza his aching arms.
"It's time to distribute beer and vodka too."
Hashirama immediately followed suit and spoke.
"And unlimited iced cola."
Ban looked at Zhang Yu.
"Settle the payment first."
After inspecting the last section of the pool wall, Zhang Yu confirmed that there were no problems with the entire project.
A system notification then popped up.
[bite!]
[Main Quest 1 Completed.]
[Outdoor swimming pool successfully constructed.]
[Congratulations, host, you have received 100,000 gold coins.]
[Current Gold Coin Balance: 252,000.]
252,000 pieces.
This swimming pool was well worth building.
Zhang Yu took out the party invitation and handed it to Tenten and Ino.
"You two go there."
I received invitations Tenten.
"For whom?"
" Kurenai Yuhi and Hinata Hyuga."
Zhang Yu said, "Tell them that the Undead Tavern is hosting its ultimate pool party tonight at midnight."
Don't be late.
Ino immediately put away the other invitation.
"I'll go inform Teacher Kurenai."
"Leave Hinata to me as well."
I held her hand Tenten.
One for each person.
"You go to Teacher Kurenai's place, I'll go find Hinata."
"OK."
The two left the tavern with the invitation in hand.
Zhang Yu then opened the Tavern Chat Group.
Zhang Yu: "@All members."
Zhang Yu: "Everyone, assemble in the backyard immediately."
Within a minute of the message being sent, all the tavern staff had arrived.
Madara, Hashirama, Izuna, Tobirama, Zabuza, and Haku stood in a row.
Zhang Yu scanned the crowd.
"The ultimate pool party is tonight!"
"Now, assigning positions."
Hashirama was the first to ask, "What am I responsible for?"
"You and Ban will be the sound engineers."
Zhang Yu said, "The sound equipment, CD player, and live music are all yours."
Hashirama's spirits lifted.
"No problem."
Cross your arms.
"Me with him?"
"You two are the most skilled at teamwork."
Zhang Yu didn't give him a chance to refuse, and then looked at Zabuza.
You'll be the lighting technician.
Zabuza.
Leave the lighting and set design to me.
Tobirama is in charge of the drinks.
Zhang Yu looked towards the bar.
"You've been promoted to bartender; you'll be mixing all the cocktails tonight."
Tobirama remained calm.
"Can."
Izuna is the pastry chef.
"The snacks needed for the party will be prepared by the kitchen staff."
Izuna immediately agreed.
"Clear."
In the end, only white remained.
Zhang Yu looked at him.
"Bai is in charge of the dance performance."
Her fair face flushed slightly.
In the past week, besides his work as a greeter and at the bar, he has also been taking time to practice dancing.
"I will finish."
"Let's demonstrate it once."
Zhang Yu raised his hand, signaling Madara and Hashirama to play music.
The rhythm begins.
Bai stood in the center of the open space.
His movements were initially somewhat hesitant.
After a few beats, the arms, waist, and feet gradually caught up with the rhythm.
Her long hair swayed as she turned.
Although the dance wasn't perfect, it was already quite impressive.
Hashirama nodded repeatedly as he watched.
"You've only been practicing for a week, and that's already very good."
Izuna also said, "I've memorized all the movements."
Zabuza stood to the side, offering no comment, but his gaze followed Haku's every move.
When the song ended, Bai stopped moving.
Zhang Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good."
"Perform at this pace tonight."
Bai took a light breath.
I'll practice a few more times.
All positions have been assigned.
Zhang Yu raised his hand.
"Begin setting up."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison and immediately sprang into action.
Madara and Hashirama were responsible for moving the sound equipment.
The two ran back and forth seven or eight times, placing the giant stereo, CD player, and all the related equipment by the pool.
Hashirama.
"Left speaker complete."
Adjust the position of the equipment.
"The right side is done too."
The two stood behind the turntable and took turns trying it several times.
I am proficient in using the buttons, volume control, and music switching.
Zhang Yu watched for a while.
"Good teamwork."
Hashirama smiled and said, "Madara and I have teamed up countless times before."
Ban gave him a cold look.
"Don't mix fighting with DJing."
Zabuza has already started setting up the lights.
The light fixtures are fixed around the perimeter of the pool.
Different colored lights were directed at the water surface, the stage, and the snack area.
He made a few adjustments and quickly completed the set design.
"The lights are fine."
Zhang Yu nodded.
"You're becoming more and more like a professional lighting technician."
Zabuza put down his tools.
"The more you do it, the more you'll learn."
Next to the bar, the Tobirama already had cocktail equipment set up.
Zhang Yu walked over.
How are your learning outcomes?
Tobirama did not answer.
He took out a glass of wine and began to mix it.
Measure the wine.
Add ice.
Stir.
filter.
The entire process proceeded without any interruption.
Soon, a martini was pushed in front of Zhang Yu.
"Try it."
Zhang Yu picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
The wine is clean on the palate.
The proportions, temperature, and taste are all perfect.
"Good."
"He has reached the level of a master."
