Zhang Yu set the rules directly.
"In the tavern, there's no distinction between past and future lives, nor does anyone care who is whose ancestor."
"Whoever is stronger carries more weight in their words."
"Of course, in the end, it's all up to me."
Asura nodded.
Although Indra was not used to it, he accepted the arrangement.
Ban turned and left the backyard.
"Keep up."
Indra glanced at Zhang Yu, then followed him.
Hashirama then put his arm around Asura's shoulder.
"Walk."
"Let me show you around the tavern first."
The four left the backyard.
Zhang Yu reopened the system panel.
[Current number of tavern staff: 9/10.]
One person is still needed.
He stared at the number for a few seconds.
Hiring is such a hassle.
The three newcomers spent the following week interning at the tavern.
Xiang learned the fastest.
Bai taught her how to place orders, deliver food, clean up the desktop, and use the group repository.
In just a few days, she was able to take charge of the front hall independently.
Asura didn't encounter any problems either.
His personality is very similar to Hashirama's.
On their first day, the two were still discussing reincarnation and destiny.
On the third day, they were already squatting in the backyard planting vegetables together.
By the fifth day, the two were even eating together.
" Asura."
"This plate of meat is mine."
You just said we'd eat together.
I meant we should eat together, not that you should take it all.
Here, take the two pieces back.
"At least half!"
On the other hand, the interactions between Indra and Ban were not so lively.
Indra was arrogant.
Unfortunately, Madara was stronger than him.
His mastery of the Sharingan far surpasses that of others.
After being suppressed in several consecutive contests, Indra finally put away his arrogance.
After they talked about their respective younger brothers, their relationship gradually improved.
When Indra learned that Izuna had died at Tobirama's hands, he glanced at Madara.
"You didn't kill that silver-haired man?"
"Killed."
Madara said calmly, "They were all resurrected later."
"Let's work together now."
Indra remained silent for a long time.
You're more tolerant than I am.
A week later, after lunch, the four of them did not immediately leave the table.
Indra looked into Ban's eyes.
He's been holding this question in for a long time.
"Spot."
How did you awaken your Rinnegan?
Hashirama also raised his head.
"Oh, right."
"And my Wood Release."
Why can you use it too?
Asura immediately looked at Madara.
All three were waiting for an answer.
Ban crossed his arms.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Indra frowned.
"I also have the Sharingan."
How could the Rinnegan have nothing to do with me?
An opening then appeared Hashirama.
"Ban, just tell me."
"After the battle at the Valley of the End, I always thought you were dead."
"Not only did you survive, you also obtained my Wood Release."
Asura also said, "I'd like to know too."
The three pressed for more questions.
Ban, growing impatient with the questions, could only lower his arm.
"I did lose the battle at the Valley of the End."
"But before the battle ended, I bit off a piece of flesh from Hashirama's body."
Hashirama's smile vanished.
"You bit my flesh?"
"Right."
"When?"
"You think I was killed by you before?"
Hashirama touched his shoulder.
He didn't even notice it.
Madara continued, "I had already implanted Izanagi in my right eye beforehand."
"The spell activates upon death."
"I rewrote the outcome of my death and escaped the cemetery."
Indra, upon hearing this, sat up straight.
Asura also put down the cup in his hand.
"After that, I transplanted Hashirama's flesh and blood onto my own body."
Ban pointed to his chest.
"The powers of the Uchiha and Senju have begun to merge."
"But the Rinnegan didn't activate immediately."
"I've waited for decades."
"His eyes only changed shortly before he died."
" The Mangekyō Sharingan evolved into the Rinnegan."
"The forces of Yin and Yang have also merged within me."
Hashirama stared at him for a long time.
"You've been lying low for decades?"
"Just waiting for the Rinnegan to awaken?"
"Right."
Asura couldn't help but ask, "What if it never opens?"
"Then we'll just wait to die."
Ban answered without the slightest hesitation.
All three fell silent.
Decades have passed.
An ordinary person would have given up long ago.
Ban, however, waited until the very end of his life.
Indra was the first to give a thumbs up.
"Sharp."
Asura also raised his hand.
"I can't have that kind of perseverance."
Hashirama looked at Madara, and finally gave him a thumbs up as well.
"Spot."
"Although it's absurd that you bit me."
But I admire you.
Madara looked at the three of them and couldn't help but laugh.
"After awakening the Rinnegan, I mastered Yin-Yang Release."
"He also learned quite a few forbidden techniques."
"I also Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and used its power to sustain my life."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have lived to finish arranging the final plans."
Hashirama immediately grasped the key point.
"The final plan?"
What plan?
Ban picked up the cup.
I won't tell you.
"Why?"
You don't need to know.
Indra and Asura were also intrigued.
The three of them surrounded Ban and questioned him for a long time.
Ban refused to utter another word.
Finally, Hashirama was the first to turn and look at Zhang Yu.
"Boss."
Indra and Asura also looked over.
Zhang Yu put down the cup in his hand.
Why are you all looking at me?
Hashirama immediately walked up to him.
"Boss, you must know what plan Ban ultimately devised."
Indra also stood up.
He wouldn't say.
"Since you were able to summon us back from the dead, you should know what happened afterward."
Asura nodded in agreement.
"Boss, please tell us."
Ban remained seated, offering no assistance.
He also wanted to see just how much Zhang Yu actually knew.
Zhang Yu scanned the four people.
"Want to know?"
Hashirama nodded repeatedly.
"Think."
"Madara secretly bit me back then, transplanted my flesh and blood, and awakened the Rinnegan."
"And then he lived for so many more years."
He must have planned something big.
Indra looked at Ban.
"And it's related to the Rinnegan."
Asura said, "It might also be related to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."
Ban snorted coldly.
"You guessed pretty quickly."
Hashirama immediately pressed for more information.
So what exactly is it?
Zhang Yu did not answer; instead, he stood up.
"If you really want to talk about this, go to the Backyard Dispute Arena."
The tavern's front hall also needs to do business.
"Breaking tables and chairs will result in a pay cut."
Hashirama paused for a moment.
"Shall we talk at the Dispute Arena?"
Zhang Yu nodded.
"The venue there is large enough."
"You can chat and practice together."
Upon hearing this, Ban also stood up from his chair.
"That's a good suggestion."
Hashirama looked at him.
"Ban, who are you planning to spar with?"
Indra.
Ban's gaze fell on Indra.
"Didn't he want to know how I awakened my Rinnegan?"
"Experience it for yourself, and you'll remember it more clearly."
Indra's expression changed.
He just wanted to hear Ban explain his plans for later.
Why did it suddenly turn into a physical fight?
Hashirama also turned to look at Asura.
"Then I'll spar with Asura."
