Yamato gripped his short blade tightly.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"This is the Hokage Building."
"You've landed on the roof without permission; I have the right to consider you an intruder."
Zhang Yu glanced at him.
I've already told you who I am.
"You still don't believe me?"
"Identities can be impersonated."
Yamato said, " Boss Zhang Yu is accompanied by the Lord First, the Second, and Madara Uchiha."
"A person like that wouldn't sit alone on the Hokage Rock drinking tea."
"And I certainly wouldn't jump down right after finishing my drink."
Zhang Yu was momentarily at a loss for words to refute.
He was telling the whole truth.
But when you put them together, it doesn't look quite right.
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, footsteps came from the stairwell.
A Shizune sound also went off.
" Lady Tsunade."
You just finished processing a batch of documents.
"We can't sneak off to the rooftop to drink anymore."
Who said I was going to drink?
Tsunade's voice followed immediately.
"I just came up here for some fresh air."
You're clearly hiding something in your arms.
"Those are the Hokage's personal belongings."
"It has nothing to do with drinking."
"But I just heard the bottle hit the railing."
You misheard me.
" Lady Tsunade..."
The door at the bottom of the stairs was pushed open.
Tsunade was the first to walk onto the rooftop.
Shizune followed behind, carrying Tonton, her face full of helplessness.
As Tsunade walked out, she said, "There's practically no one on the rooftop at this hour."
"Just a little bit, and no one will notice."
She had barely finished speaking when she saw Zhang Yu and Yamato standing on the rooftop.
Yamato gripped the short blade, his body poised to strike at any moment.
Zhang Yu stood a few meters away, a Kunai lying at his feet.
Tsunade stopped in her tracks.
" Zhang Yu?"
How did you end up here?
She quickly walked up to Zhang Yu and looked him up and down.
After confirming that Zhang Yu was unharmed, Tsunade turned to Yamato standing to the side.
What are you two doing?
Yamato Kazuma sheathed his short sword and knelt on one knee.
" Lord Hokage."
"Your subordinate has discovered someone falling from above onto the roof of the Hokage Building."
"The other party's identity is unknown; my subordinates are currently questioning them."
Tsunade looked at Zhang Yu again.
"Falling down from above?"
"You're not trying to steal my Hokage position because you don't like me Hokage, are you?"
Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly.
Don't worry.
I have absolutely no interest in the Hokage position.
"I just had a match with Guy and Kakashi."
"After the match, I had a cup of tea at Hokage Rock."
"When I came down, I landed right here."
Tsunade's brow twitched as she listened.
"You really jumped off the Hokage Rock?"
Why would I need to lie to you?
Zhang Yu pointed to Yamato.
"He treated me like an intruder and even gave me a Kunai."
"Fortunately, no one was hurt."
Yamato hearing this, Yamato immediately understood.
Tsunade spoke to Zhang Yu without any suspicion.
Even Zhang Yu jumping from Hokage Rock to this spot didn't surprise them too much.
The person in front of me was indeed the owner of the Undead Tavern.
Yamato immediately lowered his head.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"I didn't understand the situation just now."
Please forgive me.
"Fine."
Zhang Yu waved his hand.
"You're in charge of protecting the Hokage Building."
"It's perfectly normal to try and stop someone who's falling from the sky."
Yamato secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had already prepared himself to be held accountable.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu didn't take it to heart at all.
Zhang Yu raised his hand, and a Summer Festival invitation appeared in his palm.
" Yamato."
" The Undead Tavern will be holding its Summer Festival in a few days."
"Come and join us if you have time."
Yamato was taken aback.
He had assumed that the misunderstanding had already caused Zhang Yu to become dissatisfied.
As a result, Zhang Yu not only didn't hold it against him, but also personally delivered the invitation to him.
Yamato quickly accepted it with both hands.
"Thank you, Boss Zhang Yu."
I will definitely be there on time.
Tsunade, standing to the side, glanced at the invitation in Yamato's hand, then looked at Zhang Yu.
She waited a few seconds, but Zhang Yu didn't produce a second one.
Tsunade extended her hand.
What about mine?
"What?"
"Invitation."
Tsunade said, " Yamato has it, why don't I?"
Do you still need an invitation?
Zhang Yu countered, "You're currently staying at the tavern."
"I head to the tavern every day after I finish processing the documents."
"On the day of the Summer Festival, are you really not going to attend?"
Tsunade's hand froze in mid-air.
Shizune, standing behind, couldn't help but chuckle.
Tsunade immediately turned around.
" Shizune."
Is it funny?
"No."
Shizune shook her head.
"I just think Boss Zhang Yu said makes sense."
Tsunade coughed lightly and silently withdrew her hand.
"I was just asking casually."
Who says I necessarily need an invitation?
"Not exactly."
Zhang Yu said, "We can still save one."
Tsunade glared at him.
"They're gone."
She turned and walked towards the stairwell.
" Shizune, there are still many documents in the office."
Don't waste your time here.
Shizune followed after them, carrying Tonton.
The two had only taken a few steps when Zhang Yu suddenly spoke.
"Etc."
Tsunade to him, froze instantly.
"What's wrong now?"
Zhang Yu did not answer.
He walked directly behind Tsunade and reached into her arms.
Tsunade was startled.
Zhang Yu!
What are you doing?
"Don't move."
"This is the Hokage Building!"
Tsunade quickly grabbed her collar.
But Zhang Yu had already touched what was hidden in her arms.
He pulled his arm back, and an unopened bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) was taken out.
The bottle cap is intact.
The bottle still had a label that read "Undead Tavern."
Zhang Yu raised the wine bottle.
"What's this?"
Tsunade stared at the bottle for two seconds before immediately looking away.
"Have no idea."
"You don't know what's in your arms?"
"It's not mine."
"If it's not yours, why is it in your arms?"
Tsunade answered quickly.
"Someone probably put it there."
Shizune raised her hand to cover her face.
Even Tonton wouldn't believe that reason.
Zhang Yu shook the wine bottle.
"Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) at the Undead Tavern."
"It's still unopened."
When did you take it?
I didn't take it.
Tsunade crossed her arms.
It appeared in my arms by itself.
Zhang Yu looked at her.
"Can a wine bottle walk on its own?"
"Your tavern can even bring the dead back to life."
Tsunade said matter-of-factly, "What's so strange about a bottle of wine walking?"
Yamato next to him, was completely stunned.
Is this still the Fifth Hokage he knows?
Tsunade usually short-tempered.
Even the Konoha High Command dared not talk back to her.
When the Anbu reports their missions, they dare not utter a single wrong word.
But now, she was caught red-handed stealing the wine, and not only did she refuse to admit it, she could even seriously say that the wine bottle could walk by itself.
Yamato stood still, even his breathing became soft.
Is this something he should be allowed to see?
What if the Lord Hokage comes to his senses and discovers he witnessed the whole thing? Wouldn't he find an excuse to send him on a death mission?
Yamato lowered his head.
