Sasuke continued walking towards the door.
Naruto dragged two tracks on the ground with his feet, but still refused to let go.
You only need to participate once!
"Open."
I won't let go!
At the tavern entrance, the two men began to pull at each other, one in front and one behind.
Naruto held onto Sasuke tightly and refused to let go.
Sasuke, on the other hand, was determined to leave.
One pulled in, the other walked out; neither would give way.
All eyes in the front hall were drawn to it.
Hashirama carried a plate of snacks to the door, looking at the two with envy.
"Spot."
What are you doing?
Ban was drinking, without even looking up.
"Doesn't this scene seem familiar?"
The Hashirama pointed to the doorway.
"When we were young, it seems like we often did that too."
"Who does this to you all the time?"
Ban put down his wine glass.
"Have you remembered something strange again?"
"It's about the times we traveled together, fought together, and..."
"Shut up!"
Hashirama could finish speaking, Madara turned around and gave him a furious rebuke.
What's so great about reminiscing about the past?
We used to be best friends.
Who is your best friend?
Madara spoke so fast that his spittle sprayed directly onto Hashirama's face.
Hashirama wiped his face and asked seriously, "Madara, do you know Water Release?"
Ban's face darkened.
Are you out of your mind?
"Water did spray onto my face just now."
"That's what I spit out when I talk!"
"So you can use Water Release too."
"Go find Tobirama and have him teach you what Water Release is!"
Tobirama's expression immediately turned cold.
" Madara Uchiha."
The zebra immediately turned its head.
" Hashirama, you need to control your brother."
Hashirama stood between the two, glancing at Madara and then at Tobirama.
"This..."
Tobirama adjusted his glasses.
"You two continue."
Hashirama immediately shut his mouth.
Ban snorted coldly and sat back down.
But Naruto and Sasuke were still arguing at the door.
" Naruto, give your clothes back!"
"You have to promise to stay for dinner first!"
I won't agree!
"Then I won't pay it back!"
Unable to get rid of him, Sasuke raised his other hand, ready to shake Naruto off.
Zhang Yu finally couldn't stand it anymore.
That's enough.
The voice wasn't loud, but it immediately silenced the argument between the two.
Naruto and Sasuke stopped what they were doing at the same time.
Zhang Yu walked up to the two of them.
Today is the Summer Festival.
"Everyone is here."
"You two stay put and participate properly at the banquet."
Sasuke frowned.
" Boss Zhang Yu, I don't want to participate."
"This isn't a matter of whether you want to or not."
Zhang Yu looked at Naruto.
" Naruto, put the clothes away."
" Sasuke, get in."
Sasuke wanted to argue further.
Zhang Yu immediately raised his hand.
"Anyone who dares to cause trouble today, I'll strip them naked and throw them into the street."
The area in front of the tavern fell silent instantly.
Naruto hugged his clothes tightly and nodded immediately.
"I won't make a scene."
Sasuke's expression changed several times.
He looked down at the few clothes he had left, then at Zhang Yu, and finally fell silent.
Naruto seized the opportunity to grab his hand.
Let's go, let's eat first.
Sasuke stopped struggling.
The two entered the tavern one after the other.
Zhang Yu glanced at Ban.
"Keep playing the music."
"Knew."
Ban raised his hand to Hand Seals, and the music in the front hall began to play again.
All the lights in the tavern came on.
On the barbecue grill, meat skewers sizzle and drip oil.
The hot pot was bubbling with both red and white broth.
Cases of chilled drinks were laid out on the table, and snacks and desserts were constantly being brought out from the kitchen.
The crowd quickly became lively again.
Naruto pulled Sasuke to sit at a table and first served him a bowl of seafood hot pot.
" Sasuke, try this."
"Unnecessary."
Naruto pushed the bowl directly in front of him.
"You have to leave it here even if you don't eat it."
Sasuke looked at the food in front of him, and finally picked up his chopsticks.
Naruto immediately burst out laughing.
"That's more like it."
Sasuke glanced at him.
"Shut up."
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up."
Naruto verbally agreed, but his hands kept piling food onto Sasuke's plate.
On the other side, Hashirama had already joined the crowd with his wine glass in hand.
Madara sat down next to him and disdainfully pushed away the grilled meat that Hashirama offered.
"I can get it myself."
Don't mention it.
I wasn't being polite.
Tobirama stood by the bar, watching everyone's glasses to prevent them from secretly wasting drinks.
While he turned around, Tsunade took both bottles.
Upon noticing this, Shizune quickly gave chase.
" Lady Tsunade, you can't drink anymore today."
What's the point of Summer Festival if you don't drink alcohol?
You were drunk just yesterday.
Yesterday is yesterday.
"You said the same thing yesterday."
The two ran into the backyard, one after the other.
The music inside the tavern grew louder and louder.
Everyone ate and drank their fill, and laughter filled the air.
The sun gradually set.
Night fell over Konoha.
Zhang Yu looked up and glanced at the time.
"Fireworks display, ready to begin."
Everyone immediately put down their glasses and headed towards the backyard of the tavern.
A large area of land has been cleared in the backyard.
Hashirama and Madara were in charge of the regular fireworks.
Tobirama, accompanied by several ninjas, surveyed the surrounding area.
Naruto pulled Sasuke to stand at the front.
Sasuke originally wanted to leave, but after being warned by Zhang Yu, he could only stand there.
"See, it's much better to stay."
Naruto pointed to the neatly stacked fireworks.
"There's an even bigger one coming later."
Sasuke did not answer.
Hashirama took out a tinderbox.
"Boss, can we begin?"
"Start."
The fuses were lit simultaneously by Hashirama and the spot.
Whoosh!
The first firework rose into the night sky.
boom!
Brilliant sparks exploded in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a second and a third firework soared into the sky.
Red, blue, and gold lights continued to emanate.
Everyone looked up at the sky.
Hanabi bloomed one after another.
The ordinary fireworks lasted for a full twenty minutes.
Naruto's mouth dropped open.
"So beautiful!"
Sakura, Ino, and Hinata also stood together.
The three looked up at the night sky, their eyes filled with light.
Hashirama even patted Madara on the shoulder.
"How's the freckle?"
"Good."
I knew you'd like it.
I was referring to fireworks.
"I know."
What do you know?
Hashirama laughed.
Ban raised his hand and slapped his hand away.
After the fireworks faded, the backyard fell into a brief silence.
Before anyone could react, Zhang Yu had already opened the system interface.
He looked towards the fireworks store.
[Nine-Foot Jade Firework: 5000 gold coins per piece.]
Zhang Yu directly selected the Nine-Foot Jade.
"Buy nine."
[bite!]
[Purchase nine nine-foot jade fireworks.]
[45,000 gold coins deducted.]
[Current Gold Coin Balance: 975,000.]
Nine enormous, nine-foot-long jade fireworks appeared simultaneously in the system inventory.
Zhang Yu raised his hand and waved.
Boom!
A giant fireworks launcher appeared out of thin air in the center of the backyard.
The launcher was several meters tall, with a heavy base and nine huge cannons arranged in neat rows.
All eyes turned to that direction.
Hashirama gaped open.
"Something this big?"
Ban also straightened up.
"This is not an ordinary firework."
