Jiraiya sighed.
"Find the person first."
The three continued along the main road.
A day passed quickly.
Around noon, they finally arrived at a market town on the border between the Land of Fire and the surrounding small countries.
This place has a special location.
Caravans from all over would pass through.
The streets were lined with hotels, pubs, and gambling dens.
Merchants and ninjas could be seen coming and going everywhere.
Zhang Yu led Bai around for a while, finally stopping in front of a hotel in the center of the town.
The hotel has four floors.
There was someone to greet us at the door.
Meals and hot water are also provided inside.
Jiraiya's eyelids twitched a few times Jiraiya saw the prices on the sign.
"We're staying here?"
"Certainly."
Zhang Yu walked directly into the hall.
"When you're traveling, there's no need to mistreat yourself."
Jiraiya followed behind, whispering, "We're just looking for someone; a regular inn will do."
Zhang Yu ignored him.
He went to the counter.
"Two rooms."
"I want the best."
The hotel staff immediately produced the room key.
"Three guests, would you like three rooms?"
"Two rooms."
Zhang Yu pointed to Bai.
He shared a room with me.
"Give him a separate room."
Jiraiya saw Zhang Yu pointing at him and had a bad feeling.
How do I pay for the room?
"Each pays their own."
Zhang Yu took the room number plates from himself and Bai.
I'll pay for my room.
You'll have to pay for your own room.
Jiraiya opened his mouth.
In the end, he pulled out his money and paid for the other room.
After the three went upstairs, Bai pushed open the door first.
The room was very large.
Inside, there are not only two beds, but also a bathroom, living room, and dining area.
The window faces the main street of the town.
Tea and snacks were laid out on the table.
Bai put down his luggage.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"Isn't this place too expensive?"
"There are advantages to being expensive."
Zhang Yu walked to the table and picked up the delivery menu.
"Just in time for lunch."
He ordered more than a dozen dishes in one go.
We ordered one of each: meat, fish, soup, and dessert.
Bai sat down beside him and served him another light dish.
Not long after, a hotel employee pushed a food cart into the room.
The table was covered with plates.
Bai served Zhang Yu a bowl of soup.
"Have some first."
Zhang Yu took it and tasted it.
"The taste is alright."
The two had just finished eating when there was a knock on the door.
Jiraiya stood outside.
Zhang Yu.
"There's something I want to discuss with you."
"Come in."
Jiraiya pushed open the door and entered the room, immediately seeing a table full of food.
He glanced down at the rice ball he had just bought, then silently tucked it into his clothes.
"You're eating so well?"
Zhang Yu picked up a piece of meat.
The menu is in the room.
"You can order whatever you want."
Jiraiya did not respond to that.
He pulled out a chair and sat down.
I just asked the hotel staff.
" Tsunade may have been in the vicinity about two weeks ago."
But nobody knows where she is now.
"This town is quite large."
There are also many villages in the surrounding area.
"I want to find her as soon as possible; we can't keep living together."
Zhang Yu looked up at him.
Are you planning to act on your own?
"That's right."
Jiraiya took out a map and pointed to several locations.
I went to the nearby taverns, casinos, and inns to inquire about the situation.
"You will stay in the town to investigate."
"Separating the searches will be more efficient."
Zhang Yu put down his chopsticks.
How much did you pay for the room?
Jiraiya stopped moving.
"One month."
How long do you plan to stay?
I don't live here.
Jiraiya coughed lightly.
"I'll find a place nearby where I can easily gather information."
"This room has already been prepaid for by one month."
"You and Bai can continue to live here."
Bai was somewhat puzzled.
" Lord Jiraiya."
"If you're not staying here, why do you still have to pay for a month?"
"That's more convenient."
Jiraiya answered quickly.
Zhang Yu looked at him for a few seconds.
"You think it's too expensive here?"
"Of course not."
"You think it's cheaper to live alone, and you don't have to pay our bills Tenten."
Jiraiya immediately shook his head.
"I'm just trying to expand my intelligence network."
"Finding Tsunade is the most important thing."
Where you live is completely unimportant.
Zhang Yu did not expose him.
"What ever."
Go if you want to.
Jiraiya immediately stood up.
"Then it's settled."
"Once you have any news, contact me directly in the chat group."
"I'll go investigate first."
He finished speaking and quickly left the room.
It was as if they were afraid Zhang Yu would change his mind and make him stay and pay.
After the door closed, Bai looked at Zhang Yu.
"Is Lord Jiraiya avoiding us?"
"Be more confident, remove the 'is it' part."
Zhang Yu picked up his chopsticks again.
He just wanted to save money.
Bai chuckled softly.
"So what do we do this afternoon?"
"Shop."
"There's no rush to find Tsunade."
After lunch, the two left the hotel.
The streets of the town were even more crowded than Konoha's commercial street.
The stalls on both sides stretched out in one continuous row.
Snacks, clothing, accessories, and goods from various countries are available for sale.
Zhang Yu led Bai on a leisurely stroll.
Bai will stop whenever she sees something she likes.
Zhang Yu didn't urge him.
When the two walked up to a jewelry stall, the stall owner spoke with a smile.
"You two just got married, right?"
Bai was stunned.
"No."
The stall owner picked up a hairpin.
"Little girl, don't be shy."
"You two are obviously on your honeymoon."
"This hairpin is perfect for a newlywed wife."
Her pale face quickly turned red.
"We really aren't..."
Zhang Yu took the hairpin and held it up against her white hair.
"That's definitely suitable."
The stall owner immediately smiled and said, "You have excellent taste, sir."
"Your wife is beautiful; she looks good in anything."
Bai lowered his head and offered no further explanation.
After leaving the jewelry stall, the two passed by several food stalls.
The old woman selling snacks saw them and immediately packed an extra portion for them.
"Newlyweds are out enjoying themselves, so eat well."
Bai held the paper bag, his face still flushed.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
Why do they all think we just got married?
"It's probably because you've been following me."
"Then should I move further away?"
Zhang Yu reached out and grabbed him.
"Need not."
Let them misunderstand.
Bai looked at their clasped hands and couldn't help but smile.
After that, when people mistook them for a couple, he no longer rushed to explain.
at the same time.
Hashirama, Madara, and Tobirama finally arrived at the entrance to the town.
The three of them stood by the roadside, watching the passing crowds.
Hashirama touched himself.
"Who brought any money?"
Ban looked at him.
"Going out was your suggestion."
You didn't bring it?
I thought Tobirama would prepare.
They both turned their heads at the same time.
Tobirama's expression grew even colder.
"I was called out by you at the last minute, and I only had a few Kunai with me."
Hashirama looked at the inns and restaurants in the town.
"Where will we stay tonight if we have no money?"
Ban frowned.
"Use Flying Thunder God to go back and get it."
Tobirama refused outright.
"I won't reply."
Hashirama asked, "Why?"
" The Asura and Indra are both in the tavern."
"If I go back now, they'll definitely ask."
" Asura will most likely follow directly here."
Indra would not allow him to act alone.
"Adding Izuna, there will only be three more people in the end."
