Tobirama did not answer immediately.
He first reviewed the conditions for Impure World Reincarnation.
" The Impure World Reincarnation requires a living person as a sacrifice."
"We also need to obtain the target's body tissue."
"Finally, the target soul is recalled from the Pure Land and allowed to attach itself to the sacrificial offering."
He looked at Hashirama.
"But my brother's and my soul are no longer in the Pure Land."
"We now exist in the mortal world as employees of the Undead Tavern."
"Without the target soul, the Impure World Reincarnation cannot be completed."
Zhang Yu pressed further, "So, he's saying that if he summons you tomorrow, he's bound to fail?"
"That's right."
Tobirama answered very affirmatively.
"A coffin might appear."
"But without a soul, a reincarnated form cannot be formed."
Hashirama stroked his chin.
Orochimaru is planning to use us against Hiruzen.
"It couldn't be summoned."
"Then his plan is indeed going to collapse."
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Therefore, this operation will be called the Orochimaru Collapse Plan."
Hashirama was the first to raise his hand.
I agree.
Tobirama also raised his hand.
What are the details of the operation?
"Tomorrow, you and Hashirama will replace the two Anbu behind Hiruzen Sarutobi."
Zhang Yu said, "Madara will stay at the venue to keep an eye on Sasuke and any other unexpected situations."
"No one is allowed to reveal their identity without my order."
Madara asked, "What happened after Orochimaru made his move?"
"Let the plot progress normally for now."
"We must see all the iconic scenes that are worth seeing."
Zhang Yu raised his hand.
"Wait for my order before proceeding."
All three nodded in unison.
Zhang Yu looked around.
"Everyone raise your hand."
"This mission must succeed; failure is not an option."
Madara, Hashirama, and Tobirama all raised their hands.
" Orochimaru Collapse Plan."
"Success is the only option; failure is not an option."
The next morning, the weather was sunny and the temperature was pleasant.
The venue for the final battle of the Chunin Ninja Exams was already packed with spectators.
Nobles, merchants, ninjas, and residents of Konoha from various countries entered the venue one after another.
Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived at the viewing platform early.
A person wearing Kazekage hat sat beside him.
It was Orochimaru, who was impersonating the Fourth Kazekage.
After they met, they exchanged pleasantries as usual.
"Your journey has been arduous, Kazekage."
" Lord Hokage kind, Hokage."
Orochimaru sat in his seat.
"This time, the young people from Sunagakure also want to see the strength of the Konoha Ninja."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with a smile.
"The match will begin soon."
Let's watch it together.
After he finished speaking, he looked down at the venue again.
Behind him, two masked members of the Anbu stood silently.
The person on the left is wearing Anbu uniform, but beneath the mask is Hashirama's face.
The person on the right also didn't reveal any flaws.
His white hair was hidden by a hood; it was Tobirama Senju.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely unaware of anything amiss.
The audience seats at the final battle venue were already full.
Zhang Yu led Ban on a leisurely stroll along the viewing platform.
Madara wasn't wearing the armor from the Warring States period; he had simply changed into ordinary black clothes, with his long hair flowing down his back.
Very few people in the venue recognized him.
Even if someone occasionally thinks his face looks familiar, they wouldn't guess it's Madara Uchiha.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, Madara Uchiha had been dead for decades.
The two walked around for a while, but no one came up to question them.
Ban looked around.
" Hashirama and Tobirama are in position."
"I know."
Zhang Yu followed his gaze and glanced at the Hokage viewing area.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat next to the fake Kazekage.
Hashirama and Tobirama, wearing Anbu masks, stood behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.
There was nothing unusual about it from the outside.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't notice that the two Anbu behind him had already been replaced.
" Boss Zhang Yu!"
A voice came from the side.
Zhang Yu turned his head to look.
Ino was standing a few rows of seats away, waving at him.
Sakura sat down next to her and raised her hand as well.
There's a seat here!
Both of them had already been disqualified from the competition.
Today, I can only sit on the stage and cheer for others.
Zhang Yu led Ban over.
There was an empty seat between Ino and Sakura.
Zhang Yu sat down immediately.
Madara sat on the other side of Sakura.
Several bags full of snacks were placed at Ino's feet, and she was holding a large bucket of popcorn in her arms.
Zhang Yu glanced at it.
Are you here to watch the game, or for a picnic?
"They're all the same."
Ino grabbed a handful of popcorn and held it to his mouth.
"The match hasn't started yet, let's eat something first."
Zhang Yu opened his mouth and caught it.
"It tastes good."
Ino immediately placed the popcorn bucket between the two of them.
"I also brought potato chips, jerky, and candy."
"Today's match is very long, we definitely can't let him go hungry."
Sakura also took out a food box from beside her.
"I made glutinous rice balls."
She opened the lid.
Three portions of dumplings were neatly arranged inside.
Each serving was skewered with bamboo sticks and brushed with a layer of sweet sauce.
Exactly three portions.
Sakura handed one copy to Zhang Yu first.
"Try it."
Ino glanced at the food box.
" Wide Forehead, why is it exactly three parts?"
"One for myself, one for Boss Zhang Yu, and the other one is extra."
You knew perfectly well I would come.
"Eat it or don't, it's up to you."
Ino reached out and took one.
Who said I won't eat?
Zhang Yu took a bite of a dumpling.
The glutinous rice was soft and sticky, and not too much sweet sauce was added.
"Good."
Sakura immediately looked at him.
"Real?"
"Certainly."
Zhang Yu ate another one.
"It tastes better than what you buy outside."
"If the tavern adds these kinds of snacks in the future, you can teach Izuna."
Sakura smiled.
"It's not that exaggerated."
Ino took a bite of her own dumpling.
"It tastes really good."
Sakura looked at her.
"Weren't you just complaining?"
"I only asked one question: when did you start to dislike me?"
You look like you're disgusted.
" Wide Forehead, don't talk nonsense."
The two started arguing again, this time with Zhang Yu between them.
While eating dumplings, Zhang Yu grabbed popcorn from Ino's popcorn bucket.
Ban stared at the group of people for a long time.
Zhang Yu has dumplings.
Ino and Sakura also have it.
There was nothing in front of him.
Madara finally couldn't help but speak up.
I'm hungry too.
Sakura stopped moving.
She glanced down at the empty food box.
There are only three servings of dumplings.
Ban didn't speak, he just looked at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu finished the last dumpling.
"Prepare your own food if you want to eat it."
There is no kitchen here.
"Have Izuna send it over."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and then added, "Prepare two main meals."
"Also, bring some barbecue ingredients, charcoal, and a grill."
"Take two bottles of Erguotou too."
Ban asked, "Why are there two main meals?"
One for me, one for you.
Zhang Yu pointed to Ino and Sakura.
"They have snacks and dumplings, so that doesn't count."
Ino immediately spoke.
"We can have barbecue too."
Sakura nodded in agreement.
I've never been to a hot pot or barbecue restaurant near a pub.
The two had already heard that a new shop had opened next to the Undead Tavern.
But during this time I was busy preparing for the final battle, and I had no chance to go there at all.
Ino looked at Zhang Yu.
"Are you really going to have a barbecue here?"
"Right."
"Then I want beef skewers."
