The result would be the same if the Hashirama and Tobirama appeared prematurely.
So you're planning to go back?
"Certainly."
Zhang Yu picked up the remaining Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) from beside his seat.
"You can see it in the tavern too."
"There's food and drink, and even a place to rest."
"Once they've dealt with Orochimaru, we'll collect the mission rewards."
Ban did not object.
The two left from the other side of the viewing platform and quickly disappeared into the chaotic crowd.
In the distance, the Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his glasses.
His gaze followed Zhang Yu and Ban.
His tense body only relaxed after the two had completely left the venue.
"They're finally gone."
Zhang Yu did not stay.
Madara Uchiha did not make a move.
This proves that the previous judgment was correct.
The Undead Tavern indeed has no intention of interfering in the war between Konoha and Sunagakure.
Kabuto Yakushi no longer hesitated.
He renewed his Hand Seals and strengthened the Temple of Nirvana Technique.
Many more ordinary viewers fell asleep.
The Konoha Ninja clashed with the invading forces from Sunagakure and Otogakure.
Naruto followed Pakkun out of the venue.
Shikamaru and Sakura also gave chase.
Neji, Tenten, Kiba, Shino, and Hinata were all busy.
The group of people blocked the enemies who rushed into the arena.
Hinata, to the left!
Kiba, carrying Akamaru, lunged at a Sand Ninja.
Hinata her Byakugan and moved closer to another Sound Ninja.
The Gentle Fist landed in succession, sealing the acupoints on the opponent's arm.
Shino released a swarm of insects to block the Kunai that were being shot from behind.
The scroll is unfurled Tenten.
A large number of ninja tools covered the entrance, forcing back the Sand Ninja who wanted to continue rushing in.
Neji stood at the very front.
"Don't scatter."
"Secure the evacuation routes for the audience first."
Several new-generation ninjas quickly took their positions and engaged the invaders in battle.
Kabuto Yakushi glanced at it from afar but did not approach.
His mission is complete.
The remaining matters were naturally handled by Sunagakure and Otogakure.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu and Ban had returned to the Undead Tavern.
As soon as the two pushed open the door, Asura and Indra simultaneously looked up.
Asura was still holding mahjong tiles in his hand.
"Boss."
What's going on outside?
"Suddenly, a lot of Chakra appeared in the village."
Indra also put down the cards in his hand.
"Some of the Chakra contained murderous intent."
"Is someone attacking Konoha?"
Zhang Yu walked behind the bar and put down the remaining Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).
"Almost."
" Sunagakure and Otogakure launch an invasion."
Asura was stunned for a moment.
"The village was invaded, and you just came back like this?"
"There are Konoha Ninja there."
Zhang Yu said, " Hashirama and Tobirama are also here."
Upon hearing these two names, Indra leaned back in his chair.
"Since they're here, there's really nothing to worry about."
Asura also realized what was happening.
He had personally experienced the strength of Hashirama and Tobirama.
An invasion by Konoha is not something they cannot handle.
Besides, Zhang Yu wasn't in a hurry.
"So it was all arranged."
Asura picked up the mahjong tiles again.
"Shall we continue?"
"Continue."
Indra urged, "It's your turn to play."
The two quickly refocused their attention on the card table.
Zhang Yu called out towards the front hall.
"White."
Bai walked over quickly.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"Prepare hot water for me."
I want to take a bath.
"Clear."
Bai put down what he was holding and turned to prepare.
When Zhang Yu passed by the backyard, he saw Yugao and Xiang still training.
Yugao, holding a long sword, was correcting Xiang's position.
"Lower your center of gravity."
"After drawing your sword, do not expose your back to the enemy."
Xiang stood up straight as she was told and swung her knife again.
Zhang Yu did not interrupt.
He never restricted the training of his tavern staff.
As long as you don't damage the tavern or interfere with your work, you can practice for as long as you want.
Their skills are steadily improving every day.
Bai quickly prepared hot water.
After taking a bath, Zhang Yu changed into clean clothes and went straight to his office on the second floor.
He sat down in the chair.
"System."
"Turn on live feed."
A large transparent screen appeared in front of the desk.
The camera quickly focused on the rooftop where the Four Violet Flames Formation was located.
Inside the barrier, Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi had already begun their battle.
Outside the barrier, the Hashirama still lay on the roof ridge.
Tobirama changed his position and sat down near the chimney.
The two of them didn't seem like they were there to carry out a mission at all.
It was more like they deliberately found a place to watch a play.
Zhang Yu adjusted the camera angle.
The camera zooms in.
Inside the barrier, Orochimaru held the Kusanagi Sword, Hiruzen Sarutobi Adamantine Staff.
The blade clashed repeatedly with the iron bar.
Sparks kept flying up.
Orochimaru Hiruzen Sarutobi's chest.
Hiruzen Sarutobi dodged to the side, then swept his Adamantine Staff Bang out horizontally.
Orochimaru flipped backward and landed steadily on the other side of the roof.
The two separated again.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not attack immediately.
Orochimaru.
It's not too late to back down now.
"You were once my most valued disciple."
" Konoha was once your home too."
Orochimaru gripped the Kusanagi Sword, his laughter growing louder and louder.
"Teacher."
"At a time like this, you're still saying things like that?"
I have no interest in Konoha.
"I came here today to kill you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "You really think you can do it?"
"Certainly."
Orochimaru raised the Kusanagi Sword, its tip aimed at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
You're old.
How much strength do you have left?
Hiruzen Sarutobi straightened his body.
Even when I'm old, I will still be the Third Hokage of Konoha.
Five rounds.
"I will take you down in five rounds."
In the office, Zhang Yu almost burst out laughing.
Five rounds?
"That old man's quite the braggart."
If Orochimaru were to reveal all his trump cards, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi risked his life, he might not be able to win.
Winning in five rounds was clearly a bluff.
Zhang Yu leaned back in his chair and continued reading.
A dozen minutes later, he started to feel soreness in his shoulders.
The battle hasn't even reached its crucial stage yet.
Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi were constantly testing each other.
Zhang Yu opened the Tavern Chat Group.
Zhang Yu: "@Bai."
Zhang Yu: "Come to the office."
Bai: "Okay, Boss Zhang Yu."
Two minutes later, the door was gently pushed open.
Bai walked into the office, then turned around and closed the door.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
What do you need me for?
Zhang Yu pointed to his shoulder.
"I've been sitting for too long."
"Please massage me for a while."
Bai walked behind him and put her hands on his shoulders.
At first, his movements were a little hesitant.
After pressing a few times, the pressure gradually stabilized.
Zhang Yu leaned back in his chair.
The soreness in my shoulders quickly subsided.
A large, transparent screen is right in front of us.
Bai also saw the battle inside.
"Is this the Lord Hokage?"
"Um."
"The person he fought was..."
Orochimaru.
Bai's fingers paused for a moment.
" Orochimaru impersonating the Kazekage?"
"Right."
Zhang Yu closed his eyes.
"Keep pressing."
"Don't stop."
Bai pressed his finger again.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
Aren't you worried about the Lord Hokage?
"What's there to worry about?"
" Hashirama and Tobirama are just outside."
