Zhang Yu dived to the bottom of the pool, swam through the entire deep water area, and then surfaced from the other side.
The cool pool water washed away the discomfort of a hangover.
He swam around the pool once before grabbing the edge and flipping himself ashore.
"Comfortable."
Zhang Yu dried himself off and went back to his room to change his clothes.
Not long after, he returned to the backyard.
He had changed into a black martial arts uniform.
The sleeves were tightened.
Fasten the belt.
Black trousers fell over his shoes.
The entire outfit had no unnecessary embellishments, yet it suited him exceptionally well.
A window on the second floor suddenly opened.
Tenten, it's the first to peek out.
She had only wanted to make sure Zhang Yu hadn't gone far, but she immediately spotted a figure in the backyard.
"Come and see!"
Ino immediately squeezed next to her.
What are you looking at?
She followed Tenten's gaze, her voice pausing for a moment.
Why is Boss Zhang Yu dressed like that today?
Sakura also came to the window.
Upon seeing the black martial arts uniform, she subconsciously tidied her hair.
"This outfit looks much better than usual."
Hinata stood at the back, and her face flushed red as soon as her gaze fell on Zhang Yu.
"Perfect for Boss Zhang Yu."
Ino braced herself against the windowsill with both hands.
He was always handsome.
"If you change into this outfit again, who wouldn't be confused?"
Sakura gave a soft hum.
"You're practically falling off the cliff."
Ino immediately retorted.
Aren't you the same?
"I'm just looking at the clothes."
Who would believe that?
Just as the two were about to argue, the window in the next room suddenly opened.
Might Guy was the first to stick his head out.
He saw Zhang Yu in the backyard and immediately gave him a thumbs up.
" Boss Zhang Yu!"
"The black martial arts uniform exudes power and youth!"
Another window was then pushed open.
Kakashi, with his messy hair, leaned lazily against the window.
"He's really handsome."
No wonder it's so lively upstairs.
Jiraiya also peeked out from the side.
He stared at Zhang Yu for a couple of seconds, then touched his chin.
"Youth is wonderful."
"She has it all: looks, figure, and charisma."
The last window opened.
Zabuza stood inside with his arms crossed.
He didn't want to participate, but since everyone else was watching, he still offered his comment.
"This outfit is nice."
Zhang Yu looked up at the two rows of windows.
On the left are Ino, Hinata, Sakura, and Tenten.
On the right are Might Guy, Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Zabuza.
All eight people were staring at him.
Zhang Yu raised his hand to straighten his collar, a smile playing on his lips.
"No way."
"Being handsome means you can do whatever you want."
Ino burst out laughing on the spot.
Sakura couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
He covered his mouth Tenten, his shoulders trembling incessantly.
Hinata pulled her face back behind the window, leaving only her eyes looking down.
On the other side, Kakashi raised his hand.
I can't refute that.
Jiraiya clicked his tongue.
"Young people are not humble at all."
Might Guy, however, wholeheartedly agreed.
"Confidence is also a part of youth!"
Zabuza immediately closed the window.
He didn't want to listen anymore.
As afternoon approached, the patrons gradually came to their senses.
There are only three days left until the Chunin Ninja Exams officially begin.
Each class needed to make final preparations, Ino and the others couldn't stay at the bar any longer.
After washing up, they changed back into their ninja outfits and went to the front hall to say goodbye.
Ino was the first to walk up to Zhang Yu.
" Boss Zhang Yu, we're heading back now."
"We need to meet with Team 10 this afternoon."
Sakura also spoke up, "I need to go find Kakashi-sensei to confirm the exam arrangements."
I organize my ninja tool bag Tenten.
"It's time for Guy-sensei to lead our training."
Might Guy immediately clenched his fist.
"No problem!"
"Today marks the start of the final three days of our youthful sprint!"
Hinata said softly, "I want to go back to Team 8 too."
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Go, everyone."
"Don't forget the tavern rules during the Chunin Ninja Exams."
They all agreed.
Kurenai Yuhi stood at the very back, lingering there for a long time.
Zhang Yu looked at her.
"Hong, is there anything else?"
Kurenai Yuhi opened her mouth.
" Lord Third..."
She uttered just four words, then stopped.
Ino, Sakura, Tenten, and Hinata all looked at her at the same time.
Kurenai Yuhi felt increasingly conflicted.
This is the best opportunity to speak up.
Once she has clearly conveyed Hiruzen Sarutobi's request, her mission will be complete.
But the thought of having two key employees of the pub absent for a month prevented her from continuing.
" Teacher Kurenai?"
Ino waited for a long time.
What are you trying to say?
Kurenai Yuhi coughed lightly and changed her mind at the last minute.
"I wanted to ask if I can renew my monthly pass after it expires?"
Zhang Yu nodded with a smile.
"Sure."
"The tavern monthly pass will be available for long-term purchase."
The promotional brochure has also been completed.
Kurenai Yuhi felt a wave of relief.
"Is the catalog finished?"
"Right."
Zhang Yu said, "Once the official promotion begins, all of you will be able to get your hands on the finished product."
Ino immediately came over.
"Are all the photos inside from our last trip?"
"That's right."
"Then I'll take one more."
Sakura chimed in, "Me too!"
Zhang Yu waved his hand.
"We'll divide it up then."
Kurenai Yuhi did not linger.
"We'll be going now."
She hurriedly left the tavern with four girls.
Only after stepping out the gate did Kurenai Yuhi slow her pace.
Ino turned to look at her.
" Teacher Kurenai."
"Were you really asking about the monthly pass?"
Kurenai Yuhi glanced at her.
"Certainly."
Ino looked suspicious, but didn't press the matter further.
Jiraiya emerged from beside the stairs in the tavern's front hall.
He had changed back into his usual clothes, and his face no longer showed the casualness he had at the party.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"I have something important to say."
Zhang Yu sat down at the bar.
" Chunin Ninja Exams?"
Jiraiya was taken aback for a moment.
"You already knew?"
"Hong just mentioned even the Lord Third."
Zhang Yu picked up the iced cola and took a sip.
She didn't dare continue, and it's not hard to guess what happened next.
Jiraiya smiled helplessly.
"The old man does indeed want to ask the Lord First and Second for help."
"During the Chunin Ninja Exams, ninjas from various villages will enter Konoha."
"He was worried that someone might cause trouble, so he wanted to ask the two of them to secretly watch over the examination room."
Zhang Yu did not refuse outright.
"Let the Third come and talk to us in person."
Jiraiya's eyes lit up.
"Are you willing to see him?"
Business should always be discussed face-to-face.
Zhang Yu glanced at the time.
"Two o'clock this afternoon."
"Let him come to the pub for afternoon tea."
"No problem!"
Jiraiya left immediately.
Zhang Yu returned to his office and Teuchi the system panel.
A new task has presented itself.
