Anko picked up another piece.
"Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside."
"It's not too sweet."
"Hong, have you eaten here before?"
The Kurenai Yuhi nodded.
I've eaten there a few times.
Anko immediately looked at her.
"This is so delicious, why didn't you tell me about it before?"
"You didn't ask."
"Do I really need to ask this?"
Anko ate another piece.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
What are your desserts made of?
Zhang Yu sat next to him.
"The materials used are quite special."
"Without additives, the taste is naturally better than what you get outside."
Anko paused for a moment.
Will I gain weight if I eat that Tenten?
Kurenai Yuhi also looked over.
This question is clearly more important than the dessert recipe.
Zhang Yu shook his head.
"Won't."
"You can eat as many snacks as you want at the tavern without gaining weight."
Anko looked down at the plate.
"Real?"
"Real."
She immediately pulled the plate of snacks in front of her.
"Then I won't be polite."
Kurenai Yuhi also picked up a piece.
"If I had known it wouldn't make me gain weight, I would have eaten more last time."
At that moment, Might Guy burst into the tavern.
He spotted Kakashi lying on the bench immediately.
" Kakashi!"
Kakashi, who was fast asleep, suddenly shuddered.
Before he could even open his eyes, Kai had already rushed to his side, grabbed his shoulders, and shook him violently.
" Kakashi!"
Today is the last chance!
You must truly accept our Brotherhood Badge!
Kakashi's head was shaken back and forth.
"Kai..."
"Let go."
"You agree first!"
"I've already accepted it."
But your name isn't on the badge!
Kai took another badge from his pocket.
This means your heart hasn't accepted it yet!
Kakashi raised his hand and grabbed Guy's wrist.
I didn't sleep a wink last night.
"It's because you're staying at my house and refusing to leave."
"Let me sleep for a while now."
"Youth should not be wasted in sleep!"
Kai shook the rock even harder.
" Kakashi, acknowledge our bond!"
Kakashi was completely speechless.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"Could you take him away?"
Zhang Yu sat down beside him, holding a teacup.
This is between you two.
I won't get involved.
Kakashi closed his eyes.
I knew it.
On the other side, Anko had already eaten several pastries.
She brushed the crumbs off her hands.
"Even the snacks are so delicious."
"There's more to today than just this, right?"
"Of course not."
Zhang Yu stood up.
"Snacks are just appetizers."
"The real highlight is yet to come."
He raised his voice and shouted towards the kitchen and backyard:
" Asura!"
Indra!
"Iced beer, barbecue, hot pot, and spicy hot pot—all ready!"
"Turn on the lights!"
"Turn the stereo up properly!"
"No need for formalities today!"
"Good!"
Asura's voice came from the backyard.
Indra also put down what he was holding.
Everyone immediately acted according to the plan.
All the lights in the lobby were turned on.
Music then began to play.
People who had been sitting and chatting all turned around.
The noise inside the tavern suddenly increased.
The cups clinked together.
The tables and chairs were moved.
The kitchen was constantly sending out snacks and ingredients.
Crates filled with chilled beer were also pushed into the front hall.
Asura and Indra each pushed out a food stall.
The charcoal on the barbecue grill is already lit.
Asura placed a row of lamb skewers on the grill.
The grease sizzled as it fell onto the charcoal fire.
Indra then arranged the chicken wings one by one, turning them over from time to time.
The meat skewers quickly browned.
Asura grabbed some cumin and sprinkled it evenly over the lamb skewers.
Indra also sprinkled cumin on the chicken wings.
The fragrance spread instantly.
After the Summer Festival officially began, the entire street outside the Undead Tavern became lively.
Toy stalls, mask stalls, and snack stalls lined both sides of the road.
The stall was packed with people.
Kiba, wearing a fox mask, dragged Shino around everywhere.
Anko held an apple candy in one hand and several strings of meatballs in the other.
Hanabi stood in front of the toy stall, hugging a plush toy tightly and refusing to let go.
"Master, I want this."
Zhang Yu glanced at the price.
"Purchase."
The Hanabi immediately pointed to the side.
"I want that noodle too."
"Purchase."
"And wooden swords."
"Purchase."
Hinata was standing nearby, quickly pulled her younger sister back.
" Hanabi, you can't have everything."
Hanabi hugged the doll tightly.
"But Master said it's okay to buy it."
Hinata somewhat helpless and could only look at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu raised his hand and patted Hanabi's head.
"Don't try to save me money today."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the other people in the tavern.
"Don't all stay at the tavern."
"Everyone went shopping this afternoon."
"Buy whatever you like, all expenses are on me."
The lobby fell silent for a moment.
The next second, the cheers completely drowned out the music outside.
"Long live the boss!"
Hashirama was the first to rush towards the door.
Ban grabbed his collar.
Why are you running?
"The boss is treating, so of course I'm going to buy things."
You just said yesterday that you didn't need anything.
Yesterday is yesterday, today is today.
Hashirama broke free from Madara's grasp and then beckoned to Tobirama.
" Tobirama, hurry!"
"It's too late, all the good stuff has been bought up."
Tobirama closed the ledger in his hand.
"My job is only to record expenses."
Izuna walked out of the kitchen.
"Boss, you really can buy anything?"
"As long as it's sold on the street."
Zhang Yu waved his hand dismissively.
"No need for formalities today."
After those words were spoken, the people in the tavern could no longer sit still.
Sakura pulls Ino along as they rush towards the mask stall.
The two men both took a liking to a cat-face mask and started arguing about it at the stall.
"I got it first."
"I saw it first."
"Seeing it doesn't mean it's yours."
"Then let go."
"Don't loosen it."
Zhang Yu walked by and directly took another mask of the same style.
One for each person.
Ino took the mask and gave a soft snort.
"Who wants to wear the same one as her?"
Sakura immediately retorted.
"I don't want to end up like you."
Despite their initial disapproval, they both ended up putting the masks on their heads.
Bai and Xiang bought a few small ornaments.
Yugao chose a decorative short sword that was not sharpened.
Tsunade originally only wanted to find some wine, but Zhang Yu was watching her, so she could only take two folding fans instead.
Hashirama and Madara stood in front of the toy stall, comparing whose wood carving was better.
Tobirama followed behind, paying the bill, his face growing increasingly dark.
The boss said he'd treat us.
Hashirama shook the wooden carving in his hand.
Why are you staring at me?
"Because you bought seventeen items by yourself."
He opened the ledger in the Tobirama.
Eleven of them were completely useless.
"The most important thing about Summer Festival is to have fun."
This statement should not be used as an excuse for reckless spending.
"It's not your money."
Tobirama's forehead twitched.
"I'm the one keeping the accounts."
The group strolled around from morning until noon.
I bought a ton of toys, masks, candy, and snacks.
