Zhang Yu began arranging the work.
"Tomorrow morning, Madara and Hashirama will go and take over the shop on the right."
"Full payment required."
"The procedures were completed in one go."
"We started renovations immediately after acquiring the storefront."
Spotted head.
"Can."
Hashirama echoed his agreement.
"Leave it to us."
Tobirama is in charge of the interior design.
" Asura and Indra went to buy the equipment needed for hot pot and barbecue."
Tobirama asked, "What are your requirements for the renovation?"
"Clean and convenient."
Zhang Yu said, "Don't arrange the tables and chairs too cramped."
"Every table must be big enough to hold a hot pot."
The barbecue area is separate from the dining area.
Tobirama took out paper and pen and wrote it down immediately.
"Clear."
The next morning, Madara and Hashirama left the tavern after having breakfast.
Twenty minutes later, the two returned through the door.
Hashirama placed a stack of papers on the table.
"Boss, we've secured the storefront."
Zhang Yu flipped through it.
The property deed, transfer documents, and handover procedures are all complete.
"So fast?"
"The former boss is preparing to leave Konoha."
Hashirama said, "We paid in full, and he signed the contract on the spot."
Ban walked to the right wall.
"Shall we make our move now?"
"Let's do it."
Zhang Yu handed the paperwork to Tobirama.
"The renovation project has officially begun."
Hashirama arrived at the partition wall between the two shops.
Tobirama was about to remind him to control his power, Hashirama had already thrown a punch.
boom!
A large hole was punched in the center of the wall.
Pebbles were scattered all over the ground.
The house shook a few times, but was not affected in other ways.
Hashirama withdrew his fist.
"How about it?"
Tobirama the cave entrance.
"Expand it further to both sides."
The edges must be trimmed.
"Don't affect the load-bearing area."
"Knew."
Ban also walked over.
The two began to work on the existing structure of the partition wall and the adjacent storefront.
Before long, the internal passageway took shape.
Tobirama took the dimensions and went into the next room to arrange the tables, chairs, kitchen, and barbecue area.
"Entry reserved."
"The side closest to the tavern will be the hot pot area."
"The back is for grilling and food preparation."
"The ventilation points must not be blocked."
Asura picked up the equipment list.
"Let's go buy a pot and a grill."
Indra followed behind him.
"Give me the list."
You're in charge of moving things.
"Why?"
You're strong.
"Your Susanoo stronger."
"Buying a few pots doesn't Susanoo."
The two left the shop while arguing.
Izuna, along with Shiro, Karin, and Yugao, sorted through the original goods.
Zabuza was responsible for transporting the dismantled timber and rubble away.
Everyone has their own job.
The store renovation was carried out very quickly.
In less than half a day, the two previously separate shops were completely connected.
While the Undead Tavern was busy with its expansion, inside the Hokage's office building, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood by the window, looking at the Chunin Ninja Exams schedule on the table.
Only two weeks remain until the final battle.
Nobles from various countries and representatives from ninja villages will soon arrive in Konoha.
The Sunagakure's attitude is wrong.
Another powerful figure of unknown identity has appeared in the Forest of Death.
Hiruzen Sarutobi dared not relax.
Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Shimura Danzō walked in, leaning on his cane.
He didn't beat around the bush; he simply placed a piece of intelligence on the table.
Hiruzen.
How long are you planning to keep this a secret?
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the intelligence report.
The sign read "Undead Tavern," "Zhang Yu," and included several tavern employees with questionable identities.
"You've already found it?"
With so many people coming and going from Konoha, it would be hard not to know.
Danzo said coldly, "Two months."
"This guy named Zhang Yu has been active in Konoha for two months."
He became the chief supervisor of the Chunin Ninja Exams.
" Uzuki Yugao also stayed at his tavern."
"Yet you've never mentioned it to me once."
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not provide an explanation.
Danzo a step forward.
" Hiruzen, what are you afraid of?"
"Just an outsider."
"No matter how strong we are, we shouldn't let Konoha lose the initiative."
"Are you deliberately hiding his existence because you don't want me to have contact with him, or because you're afraid I'll drag him into the Root?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe and took a slow puff.
"You want to see him?"
"Certainly."
Danzo said, "I must personally ascertain the purpose of this person of unknown origin remaining in Konoha."
"If he poses a threat to Konoha, we should deal with him in advance."
Hiruzen Sarutobi at him for a moment.
"Good."
Danzo frowned.
He had assumed that Hiruzen Sarutobi would refuse.
"You agree?"
Not only do I agree, I can also personally take you there.
Hiruzen Sarutobi down his pipe.
" The Undead Tavern is located on the commercial street."
"If we go now, we should be able to see Boss Zhang Yu."
Danzo his cane tightly.
"I'd like to see who could keep this from you for two months."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up, a sense of schadenfreude already creeping into his heart.
Let's go.
I hope you'll be as calm when you get there.
Danzo snorted coldly.
" Hiruzen, you underestimate me."
I would never lose my composure in front of a tavern owner.
Hiruzen Sarutobi said nothing more and left the Hokage's office building with Danzo.
As dusk fell, the renovation of the shop next door was finally completed.
The wall between the two shops has been knocked down.
The hot pot area is filled with tables and chairs, with space left in the center of each table to place the pot.
The barbecue area is located at the back, with grills, countertops, and food racks all in place.
Tobirama, carrying the dimensions, inspected the area from the entrance all the way to the kitchen.
"The passage is working properly."
"The tables and chairs are spaced far enough apart."
The ventilation vents in the barbecue area have been repaired.
Izuna wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The kitchen can be used directly."
"All that's left is to buy the ingredients and seasonings."
Asura slumped into a chair.
"Finally finished."
Indra glanced at him.
"You only moved a few pots."
"I moved all the remaining tables and chairs myself."
"I also moved the grill."
"I carried the grill in myself too."
Hashirama came out from next door and brushed the dust off his clothes.
"Stop arguing."
Everyone contributed today.
Ban carried a stereo system and entered the front hall through the back door.
Where should this be put?
Zhang Yu looked around and pointed to the barbecue area against the wall.
"Put it there for now."
"From now on, we can play music while we have barbecue at night."
Ban carried the speaker over.
Close the dimension drawing on the Tobirama.
The store renovation is complete.
"Prepare the ingredients tomorrow, and we can open for business anytime."
Zhang Yu stood in front of the internal passage and looked at all the shops on both sides.
It only took one day from purchasing the shop to completing the renovation.
Such efficiency is unparalleled in Konoha.
"Well done."
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Everyone's having dinner together tonight."
"We'll have hot pot and barbecue on the menu, to celebrate the completion of the new store."
Hashirama immediately perked up.
Is there enough meat?
"Enough is enough."
Where's the wine?
"Yes."
Hashirama immediately looked at Madara.
Whoever gets drunk first tonight is responsible for clearing the table.
Madara sneered.
"Take care of yourself first."
