A few days later, they were even discussing card games during meals.
" Asura."
You shouldn't have played that nine-bad bet this morning.
That's the only one I have left.
"You can split ten thousand characters."
"Demolition will also cause explosions."
"At least it won't be given to Hashirama."
Hashirama, holding his rice bowl, immediately smiled.
"It doesn't matter who you give it to."
"As long as I win."
Ban coldly opened his mouth.
"Continue this afternoon."
Whoever loses the most has to buy drinks.
Hashirama agreed on the spot.
"No problem."
Indra did not refuse.
Asura glanced at the three of them and could only nod in agreement.
Tobirama often played chess with Indra.
Both of them are good at calculations.
A game of chess can often last a very long time.
If someone glances at them while passing by, they'll be pulled aside to argue their case.
The tavern was bustling with activity every day.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Only one day remains until the final battle of the Chunin Ninja Exams.
There is only one day left before Orochimaru launches his Konoha Crush Plan.
Orochimaru's plans did not stop during this month.
Personnel from Sunagakure and Otogakure entered Konoha one after another.
The barrier, the code, and the attack positions are all ready.
Zhang Yu did not intervene throughout the entire process.
He even deliberately reduced the number of people in the tavern who appeared in front of Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's obsession with forbidden techniques is bordering on insane.
But if he were to see Madara, Hashirama, Tobirama, Indra, and Asura all gathered together beforehand, he might not have the guts to continue with his original plan.
If the Konoha Crush Plan is cancelled, some of the most important moments of the Chunin Ninja Exams will not occur.
Zhang Yu was also unable to complete his witnessing task.
So he pretended not to see what Orochimaru was trying to do.
As long as he doesn't set his sights on the Undead Tavern, Zhang Yu won't make a move against him prematurely.
evening.
Ino and Hinata changed out of their work clothes and walked together to the entrance of the pub.
They've been helping out here for almost two weeks.
The tavern provides for our daily food and lodging.
Zhang Yu hasn't let the two of them spend a single penny yet.
Now that the final battle is approaching, they should go home and prepare.
Zhang Yu came out carrying six bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).
" Ino, these three bottles are for your father."
Hinata, give these three bottles to Hiashi.
Ino quickly caught it.
"Is this a gift for us?"
"To be precise, it's for your father."
Zhang Yu said, "They let you guys come and help out at the tavern, so I should at least show my appreciation."
Ino hugged the three bottles of sake tightly.
She knew very well how expensive the Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) was at the tavern.
The three bottles combined already far exceed the amount of work she has done in the past few days.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"We came here to fulfill our promise of gifts."
"You've provided us with food and lodging, and now you're even giving us wine. Aren't we just getting a free ride?"
"Take it if it's given to you."
Zhang Yu reached out and ruffled her hair.
"Don't sneak a drink when you get back."
Ino blushed.
I would never sneak a drink.
Hinata accepted the other three bottles with both hands.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
Thank you for taking care of me these past few days.
"I didn't help much, yet I stayed at the tavern and ate a lot of food."
"And now you're bringing such expensive wine..."
There aren't that many rules.
Zhang Yu said, "Go back and prepare well for tomorrow's match."
Don't forget to get some rest.
Hinata hugged the bottle and nodded vigorously.
I will not forget.
Ino stepped back two paces and waved to Zhang Yu.
See you at the venue tomorrow.
You absolutely must watch my match then.
"OK."
"I won't miss it."
The two then turned and left.
After walking a distance, Ino looked down at the Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) in her arms.
" Boss Zhang Yu is so good to us."
Hinata responded softly.
"Um."
I must find a way to repay him in the future.
"We can't let him take care of us every time."
Ino nodded.
"That's what I think too."
The two quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
Zhang Yu watched them leave, then turned and went back to the tavern.
Tomorrow is the final battle.
Some things should be arranged in advance.
He opened the Tavern Chat Group.
Zhang Yu: "@All members."
Zhang Yu: "We're having a meeting tonight."
Zhang Yu: " Madara Uchiha, @Senju Hashirama Senju, @Senju Tobirama Senju."
Zhang Yu: "The three of you come to the office on the second floor."
Hashirama's message was the first to appear.
Hashirama Senju: "Coming right away."
Tobirama Senju: "The accounts are complete; you can come anytime."
Madara Uchiha: "Wait until I finish this match."
Zhang Yu: "Now."
Madara Uchiha: "..."
Madara Uchiha: "Understood."
After nightfall, the four men entered the office one after another.
Zhang Yu sat at the table.
The characters Madara, Hashirama, and Tobirama sit on either side.
Tomorrow is the final battle of the Chunin Ninja Exams.
Zhang Yu got straight to the point.
" Orochimaru will also launch the Konoha Crush Plan tomorrow."
Hashirama frowned.
"He's going to attack Konoha?"
"Right."
Orochimaru will impersonate the Kazekage to get close to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Zhang Yu said, " The Sunagakure and the Otogakure will make their move simultaneously."
"His other target is Sasuke Uchiha."
Ban's expression immediately darkened.
What does he want to do to Sasuke?
"Take away."
Sasuke has the Sharingan.
"He is also one of the few remaining members of the Uchiha clan."
Zhang Yu looked at Ban.
Orochimaru wanted his body, and he also wanted the Sharingan.
Ban stood up abruptly.
He's courting death.
"Sit down."
Zhang Yu tapped on the table.
"The tavern's rule is not to interfere in Konoha's internal affairs."
Ban stared at him.
" Sasuke is Uchiha."
That's his own path.
Zhang Yu said, " Orochimaru can seduce him, and Sasuke can refuse."
"The final choice is up to Sasuke."
"We can't handle everything for him."
Ban remained silent for a moment, then sat back down.
"What if Orochimaru forcibly takes him away?"
"Let's see Sasuke chooses first."
Zhang Yu did not budge.
"As long as Orochimaru doesn't touch anyone in the tavern, you're not allowed to kill him directly."
Ban crossed his arms and stopped talking.
Zhang Yu turned to look at Tobirama.
"You bear 90% of the responsibility for Orochimaru getting to where he is today."
Tobirama frowned.
What does this have to do with me?
He's obsessed with forbidden arts.
"Most of Konoha's forbidden techniques were left behind by you."
Zhang Yu said, "Especially the Impure World Reincarnation."
"His defection, his research into the human body, and his plans to attack Konoha are all inextricably linked to those Scroll of Seals."
Hashirama immediately looked at his younger brother.
Tobirama.
I told you before to stop researching these things.
Tobirama's face darkened.
"I created this technique."
How to use it is a choice made by future generations.
His decision to defect cannot be entirely blamed on me.
Zhang Yu nodded.
"So I only calculate it as 90%."
Tobirama fell silent.
Hashirama couldn't help but chuckle.
Tobirama gave him a cold look.
"Big brother, do you think this is funny?"
"No."
Hashirama immediately sat up straight.
Zhang Yu continued, "Will Orochimaru use the Impure World Reincarnation tomorrow?"
"The target is both of you."
"You and Hashirama have now been resurrected."
Will his surgery still be successful?
