Ino stared at the pork leg that was oozing oil.
"But it smells so good."
Sakura couldn't help but swallow.
We didn't eat much at noon.
Hinata sat next to Zhang Yu, not urging him on, but keeping her eyes on the grilled meat.
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Wait another twenty minutes."
Tenten, her face fell.
"Twenty more minutes?"
"There's no use in being anxious."
"If the fire is too high, the outside will burn while the inside remains uncooked."
Zhang Yu picked up the seasoning and sprinkled it evenly on the surface of the pig leg.
The aroma suddenly became even stronger.
Ino clutched her stomach.
"You definitely did it on purpose."
"Knowing we're hungry, they still added seasoning at this crucial moment."
Zhang Yu glanced at her.
"Why don't you eat a piece of raw meat first?"
"Then forget it." The four girls could only continue waiting.
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Yu used a knife to cut open the surface of the pig's leg.
The outer skin made a crisp sound.
The meat inside was fully cooked, and juices were flowing out from the cut.
"Alright."
The four girls sat up straight at the same time.
Ino was the first to come over.
Give me one quickly.
Tenten, she opened her mouth as well.
"Me too."
Sakura originally wanted to remain reserved.
But with the aroma of meat right in front of her, she couldn't care less about anything else.
Hinata's cheeks flushed slightly, but she also gently opened her mouth.
Zhang Yu looked at the four people and laughed.
"Are you planning to make me get fed?"
"Hurry up."
Ino urged, "I'm starving!"
Zhang Yu cut off a small piece of roasted meat and put it into Ino's mouth first.
Ino took a bite.
The outer layer has a charred aroma, while the meat inside is very tender.
She chewed a few times, then her eyes widened suddenly.
"Tasty!"
Zhang Yu cut off another piece and held it to Tenten's mouth.
Take a bite right away Tenten.
"The outside is actually crispy."
"There's still meat juice inside."
" Zhang Yu, your cooking skills are amazing!"
Sakura couldn't wait any longer.
What about mine?
"Immediately."
Zhang Yu brought over the third piece of grilled meat.
Sakura took a bite, chewed a couple of times, and then nodded repeatedly.
"It's really delicious."
"It smells even better than the barbecue at the tavern's Summer Festival."
Finally, it was Hinata.
Zhang Yu brought the meat to her lips.
Hinata carefully took a bite, her cheeks turning even redder.
"It tastes great."
Zhang Yu coughed lightly.
"If it tastes good, then make it yourself."
"Don't just eat, leave some for me."
But it was too late for him to speak.
Ino has already cut off the second piece.
Tenten, she also tore off a piece of meat from the other side.
Sakura held the plate to catch the dripping meat juices.
Hinata was eating slowly at first, quickly reached out and grabbed a piece when she saw the pork leg shrinking rapidly.
Seeing them wolfing down their food, Zhang Yu could only speed up his movements.
"Just now they were all saying they couldn't finish it."
"Why is nobody being polite anymore?"
With her mouth full of grilled meat, Ino's speech was somewhat slurred.
"Who told you to make it so delicious?"
Tenten nodded immediately.
Let's eat first and talk about it later.
Sakura put a piece of meat into Zhang Yu's plate.
I saved some for you.
" Sakura is the only one who knows how to care for others."
Ino immediately cut off a large piece and put it on Zhang Yu's plate as well.
"I kept it too."
Never wanting to fall Tenten.
"And mine too."
Hinata gently handed over the meat she had just cut.
" Boss Zhang Yu, this is for you."
Before long, the plate in front of Zhang Yu was piled high with roasted meat.
The grass was filled with the sounds of laughter and chatter from a few people.
The sky gradually darkened.
The battle in the distance has finally come to an end.
Neji and his two companions joined forces to kill Jirobo.
Shikamaru's team defeated Kidomaru.
Yamato is still entangled with Sakon and Ukon.
He wanted to capture the two men alive, so he held back when he attacked, and the battle continued into the night.
After Zhang Yu and the other three girls finished eating, Hand Seals a mudra with their hands.
Wood Release.
Sturdy trees rise from beneath the grass.
The wooden planks were joined together.
A moment later, a wooden house appeared in the middle of the meadow.
Ino looked up at the roof.
"Is that all?"
"Let's go in and take a look."
Four girls pushed open the door and entered the wooden house.
Although there wasn't much furniture inside, it was enough to provide shelter from the wind and allow for rest.
Tenten touched the wall.
" Wood Release is so convenient for camping."
Sakura nodded.
At least we don't have to sleep on the grass.
Zhang Yu waited for them to enter the wooden house, then jumped onto the roof alone.
He closed his eyes and activated his Chakra perception.
Even without activating Sage Mode, his perception range remains incredibly strong.
A few seconds later, three streams of Chakra entered the sensory range.
The distance is approximately thirty kilometers.
Sasuke.
Tayuya.
And there's Naruto Uzumaki.
A system notification suddenly sounded.
[Ding! Quest triggered!]
[Mission: Tavern New Member Recruitment Plan!]
[The host needs to find an unknown person within a 50-kilometer radius, tame them, and add them to the host's tavern. Gold coins will be awarded based on the degree of taming.]
[Initial reward gold coins: 20,000.]
Zhang Yu quickly sifted through the people within his perception range.
Sasuke knew him.
Naruto knows him too.
Only Tayuya meets the task requirements.
Tayuya was used as an experimental subject by Orochimaru from a young age, and eventually became one of the Sound Five.
Her background was not good.
Now that Orochimaru has left so much trouble behind, taking him in as a side job is a way of cleaning up his mess.
Zhang Yu jumped off the roof.
Four girls heard the noise and came out of the wooden house.
Sakura asked, "Have you found Sasuke?"
"Found it."
Zhang Yu Hand Seals.
A piece of wood grew rapidly and eventually became Wood Clone that looked exactly like him.
Ino scrutinized the Wood Clone.
Are you leaving?
"Go out for a bit."
Zhang Yu pointed to the wooden house.
"The clone will stay here to keep watch."
"You can rest assured."
I will be back before dawn.
The Wood Clone walked to the door and sat down.
Sakura wanted to ask more questions, but the space in front of Zhang Yu's right eye had already begun to distort.
A black vortex enveloped his body.
The next second, he vanished from his spot.
Forty kilometers away.
On the canopy of an ancient tree, a spatial vortex rapidly formed.
Zhang Yu landed on the thick tree trunk.
Below, Tayuya, carrying a cylindrical coffin on her back, is moving forward quickly, stepping on tree branches.
Her breathing was erratic.
The long journey, coupled with carrying the wooden barrel containing Sasuke, had depleted his stamina and Chakra.
Zhang Yu did not appear immediately.
He moved forward along the tree trunk, always staying above Tayuya.
Tayuya traveled for a while longer.
She stopped on a tree trunk only after confirming that Naruto was not chasing her.
She placed the cylindrical coffin beside her.
Tayuya leaned against the tree trunk, catching her breath, and rubbed her neck.
The rope had been wrapped tightly around his shoulders for a long time, leaving red marks around his neck.
She gritted her teeth and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
After resting for a while, Tayuya picked up the cylindrical coffin again.
Just as she was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from above.
"Aren't you tired carrying such heavy things on the road?"
Tayuya's body stiffened.
She looked up abruptly, her hand already gripping the flute at her waist.
"Who?"
