Thank you.
Orochimaru prepared to leave with the cola.
Zhang Yu reached out and blocked him.
"Don't go yet."
Orochimaru's vigilance rose once again.
Is there anything else?
"Certainly."
Zhang Yu pointed to the bottle in his hand.
"A bottle of ice-cold cola, three hundred taels."
Orochimaru was stunned.
"Wasn't this a free gift?"
"Who said it was given away?"
Zhang Yu pointed around.
"They all paid."
Orochimaru looked in the direction he was pointing.
A dozen or so test-takers nearby were all holding Cokes.
Someone is taking out money.
Some people were holding empty bottles, their faces full of frustration.
Clearly, all the test takers were tricked by Zhang Yu in the same way.
Orochimaru gripped the cola bottle, his expression gradually darkening.
Three hundred taels.
It meant nothing to him.
But Zhang Yu deliberately let him drink first before asking for money, clearly mocking him.
What's more, there are so many other test takers watching.
You didn't say you wanted money.
Orochimaru lowered his voice.
Zhang Yu spread his hands.
"You didn't ask."
" The Undead Tavern is a business; we can't just give things away to everyone we meet."
"A bottle of chilled cola is 300 taels, a fair price."
Orochimaru stared at him, his vertical pupils slightly contracting.
Just as his killing intent was about to rise, two powerful auras from the distant treetops descended upon him once more.
A powerful, seemingly endless force.
The other, even sharper force exerted a pressure that made his back tense.
Orochimaru's finger stopped on the bottle.
You mustn't use your hands.
The two unknown powerful figures had been keeping a close eye on this place.
Zhang Yu's ability to freely move around the examination hall and hand out Cokes to all the candidates suggests that he is not just an ordinary businessman.
If he makes a move now, his hidden identity will inevitably be exposed.
The Konoha Crush Plan will also fail prematurely.
Orochimaru forcibly suppressed his anger.
"Three hundred taels, right?"
"Right."
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Just give me the money."
Orochimaru took out three hundred ryo from his person and handed it over.
Zhang Yu took the money and casually put it away.
"Welcome to patronize our business again next time."
Orochimaru did not answer, and turned to leave.
But he had only taken two steps when Zhang Yu's voice came from behind him again.
"Etc."
Orochimaru paused in his tracks.
He slowly turned his head.
"Is there anything else?"
"That's not ordinary Coke in your hand."
Zhang Yu said in a serious tone, "What we gave the other test takers was regular chilled cola."
"Your bottle is a special edition."
Orochimaru glanced at the bottle.
The bottle, color, and taste were exactly the same as the ones held by the other test takers.
"Where was it specially made?"
"This was prepared especially for you."
"So what?"
"So you'll have to pay more."
Zhang Yu held up one finger.
"Ten thousand taels."
Orochimaru was stunned at first.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp female voice burst from his mouth.
"Ten thousand taels?!"
The sound echoed throughout the entrance.
The surrounding examinees stopped what they were doing again.
Ino nearly dropped the can of cola in her hand.
"It's a female voice again!"
Sakura's eyes widened.
"I hope I don't choke on the bubbles again this time?"
He scrutinizes Orochimaru Tenten.
"A man's face, a woman's voice."
Is it a man or a woman?
Hinata couldn't help but take a couple more glances.
Kiba Inuzuka pointed at Orochimaru, laughing so hard he slapped his thigh.
"So it really was a woman!"
"You were even pretending to speak as a man just now!"
Akamaru, perched on his head, also barked twice.
Kankuro turned his head in the Sunagakure team.
"There are such strange people in Kusagakure?"
Temari frowned.
"They might have used Transformation Technique."
Even Gaara glanced in their direction.
Orochimaru gripped the bottle tightly.
He squeezed the plastic bottle until it was deformed.
If it weren't for the two unknown powerful figures locking onto him, he would have already dropped his disguise and eliminated Zhang Yu.
But now, he can only endure it.
If there is any abnormal fluctuation in Chakra, the person in the treetop will inevitably take action.
Orochimaru took a deep breath and switched back to his hoarse male voice.
"I was just so surprised."
What kind of cola can sell for ten thousand taels of silver?
Zhang Yu pointed to the bottle in his hand.
"This bottle you drank was worth it."
"Didn't you just say it tasted good?"
Good things naturally come at good prices.
Orochimaru stared at him.
"The bottle is the same as everyone else's."
"Same color."
"It tastes the same."
What makes you think it's a special edition?
Zhang Yu felt no guilt whatsoever.
"Because I handed it to you myself."
"This is specially made."
The surroundings quieted down for a moment.
Ino couldn't help but burst out laughing first.
Sakura turned her face away, her shoulders trembling.
Tenten held a Coke bottle, looking at Orochimaru with a face full of sympathy.
Everyone understood.
Zhang Yu is just ripping people off.
And they made no attempt to hide how shady it was.
Unfortunately, the Kusagakure had already drunk from the bottle and was holding it in his hand, so there was no way for him to back down.
Orochimaru's forehead tightened.
What if I don't pay?
Zhang Yu glanced at the treetops in the distance.
"That would be considered forced buying and selling."
Orochimaru followed his gaze.
The leaves obscured the two figures.
But those two auras were still there.
One of them seemed to sense his gaze, and their oppressive aura suddenly intensified.
Orochimaru's body tensed instantly.
We can't afford to fall out.
Not at least not now.
He still needs to enter the Forest of Death to leave Cursed Seal on Sasuke.
The subsequent plans must not be affected.
Ten thousand taels is a lot, but it's far less than the entire plan.
Orochimaru suppressed his killing intent and forced out the words through clenched teeth.
"Good."
"I'll buy it."
Zhang Yu extended his hand.
Pay first.
Orochimaru made no move.
Zhang Yu shook his hand.
"You can't possibly not even come up with ten thousand taels?"
"A Kusagakure only carries three hundred taels of silver with him when he leaves home?"
A few more laughs rang out from around them.
Orochimaru's expression grew increasingly grim.
He disguised himself as a candidate from Kusagakure this time and didn't carry much money with him.
Most of the funds are in the hands of other people in Otogakure.
He only carried 40,000 to 50,000 taels with him to deal with unforeseen circumstances.
Unexpectedly, before the exam even started, Zhang Yu was about to take away 10,000 taels of silver.
Orochimaru slowly slipped his hand inside his clothes.
He took out a stack of banknotes and pulled out ten thousand taels.
With each card he drew, he remembered Zhang Yu's face even more clearly.
The owner of the Undead Tavern.
Zhang Yu.
Once the Konoha Crush Plan is over, he will definitely go to that tavern himself.
If it weren't for the protection of those two powerful figures in the tree, he would make Zhang Yu return double the money he earned today.
Orochimaru slapped the money into Zhang Yu's hand.
"Is it okay now?"
Zhang Yu counted them carefully.
No more, no less.
"Ten thousand taels, just right."
You can drink this bottle of Coke without worry.
Orochimaru stared at him coldly.
I will remember you.
Zhang Yu smiled.
Just remember that.
"Next time you come to the Undead Tavern, I'll get you a membership card."
Orochimaru did not linger.
He turned around and quickly returned to the Kusagakure group.
His back was even more stiff than before.
The surrounding examinees watched him leave, then glanced at the money and bills in Zhang Yu's hand.
Ya couldn't help but ask, " Boss Zhang Yu, was that bottle of Coke really a special edition?"
"Certainly."
"What's the difference between them and ours?"
"Your bottle costs three hundred taels."
