Tsunade's expression turned sour after hearing what had happened.
"Send someone to continue monitoring the Sound Ninja's movements."
Report on Sasuke's situation as soon as possible.
"Clear."
Yamato led the Genin away from the office building.
Tsunade did not linger.
Before leaving, she glared fiercely at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu pretended not to see them and led Nine-Tails and Tayuya toward the Undead Tavern.
This was the first time Tayuya had seriously looked at Konoha.
The pedestrians on the street, the food stalls on the roadside, and the Hokage Rock in the distance all felt unfamiliar to her.
Ino quickly moved closer to Zhang Yu.
" Zhang Yu, what's that on your shoulder?"
Zhang Yu casually replied, "My dog."
Nine-Tails immediately jumped up.
Who is the dog?
"I am the Nine-Tails Fox!"
Ino paused for a moment.
Nine-Tails?
Before she could even feel scared, she immediately lifted the Nine-Tails off Zhang Yu's shoulder.
"It's so small."
"It feels so good!"
The Nine-Tails fox struggled desperately.
"Let me go!"
Tenten, Sakura, and Hinata also gathered around.
The four people surrounded the Nine-Tails Fox in the middle.
"Your ears are so soft."
"So many tails."
"It really can talk."
"So cute."
The Nine-Tails struggled incessantly.
"I am Tailed Beast!"
"Not a pet!"
But after glancing at Zhang Yu, it dispersed the Chakra it had just gathered.
It dared not make a move.
They dared not hurt these girls.
More than half an hour later.
The group finally saw the sign for the Undead Tavern.
Nine-Tails Fox lay in Ino's arms, completely exhausted.
"Boss!"
"Make them stop!"
Zhang Yu walked over and tapped each of the four girls on the head.
"Stop touching me."
" Izuna has already prepared dinner."
The four then released the Nine-Tails.
Nine-Tails immediately jumped back onto Zhang Yu's shoulder and grabbed his collar tightly.
The group entered the tavern.
Uchiha Izuna was already waiting in the front hall.
"Boss, the food is ready."
He led everyone to the long table.
Madara, Hashirama, Tobirama, Hagoromo, and others were seated at the hot pot table next door.
After Zhang Yu sat down, he glanced at Ino and the others.
There's only one month left in Natsuhi.
"Those who lost the bet will have to work for free at the tavern for the next month."
Ino pursed her lips.
"A bet's a bet."
Sakura nodded.
We will come.
Tenten laughed and said, "As long as food and lodging are included, that's fine."
Hinata responded softly.
Tayuya also crossed her arms.
"I was originally a tavern maid."
Uzuki Yugao, Karin, and Shiro came out carrying the food.
Roast chicken, grilled fish, stewed meat, and several side dishes were quickly laid out on the table.
Karin looked at Tayuya.
"Who is she?"
Zhang Yu said, " Tayuya, you'll be staying at the tavern from now on."
Shirao Tayuya smiled.
"Welcome."
Tayuya turned her face away.
"Um."
Dinner officially began.
Nine-Tails jumped onto the table and stared at the Erguotou liquor beside it for a while.
It stuck out its tongue and licked the mouth of the bottle.
The next moment, the Nine-Tails ' eyes widened in surprise.
"What's this?"
"Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor)."
Zhang Yu picked up a piece of grilled fish.
The Nine-Tails hugged the wine bottle.
"Boss, prepare a case for me every day from now on!"
"No."
Zhang Yu refused outright.
"You're so small, a whole box of these could soak you up."
Nine-Tails was dissatisfied.
"I am the Nine-Tails Fox!"
Yugao and Karin also saw it at that moment.
"Boss, what is this little fox?"
"The tavern's mascot."
Zhang Yu raised his chin.
"Feel free to touch."
Nine-Tails ' body stiffened.
Zhang Yu!
Yugao and Karin have already extended their hands.
"So it was the Nine-Tails."
Let me touch it.
"Don't come any closer!"
The Nine-Tails let out a helpless roar.
Outside the tavern.
After finishing her work Hokage Tsunade, Tsunade led Shizune to the door.
She immediately noticed the lively dinner party inside.
Tsunade was immediately displeased.
" Zhang Yu! You didn't even tell me you were having dinner!"
Without saying a word, she rushed into the tavern. Tsunade rushed into the tavern, first glancing at the food on the table, then looking at Zhang Yu.
" Zhang Yu! You didn't even tell me you were having dinner!"
Zhang Yu pointed to the edge of the table.
"You've been notified."
"Then why didn't I receive it?"
"See for yourself."
Tsunade looked in the direction he was pointing.
There were two empty seats at the long table.
Bowls, chopsticks, wine glasses, and food were all set out.
There was a seat next to Zhang Yu.
The other spot is reserved for Shizune.
Tsunade stood there, the words she was about to say stuck in her throat.
Shizune whispered, " Lady Tsunade, Boss Zhang Yu should have reserved a seat for us already."
Tsunade.
I thought you weren't waiting for me.
Zhang Yu sat back down in his chair.
"Who told you to make noise the moment you walked in?"
"Okay, I guess I misunderstood you this time."
Tsunade pulled out a chair and sat down.
" Shizune, time to eat."
Shizune sat down next to her with a sigh.
Dinner continued.
Tsunade was a little awkward at first.
After having two drinks, she returned to her usual self.
" Zhang Yu, another grilled fish, please."
"Take it yourself."
"I am the Hokage."
Even the Hokage has to serve himself food.
Tsunade glared at him, but still reached for her chopsticks.
The meal was finished.
The plates on the table were mostly empty.
Ino, Sakura, Hinata, and Tenten were talking to each other about their work the next day.
Bai cleared the table of dishes and chopsticks.
Karin and Tayuya also returned to the backyard.
Yugao followed behind Bai, glanced back at Zhang Yu, and then entered the apartment.
Before long, only Zhang Yu and the Kurama remained in the front hall.
Kurama jumped off the table and landed in front of Zhang Yu.
"Boss."
"What's wrong?"
Where will I sleep?
Zhang Yu looked at it.
"Aren't there empty rooms in the backyard?"
Kurama shook his head.
I don't want to sleep alone.
It raised its head.
"I want to sleep with my boss."
Zhang Yu deliberately remained silent for a few seconds.
"The tavern has rules."
Kurama's ears twitched.
What are the rules?
"The mascot will sleep at the front bar."
Kurama's tail drooped down immediately.
"I'm not a mascot."
Are you going to sleep or not?
"Sleep."
Kurama walked slowly to the bar with his head down.
It looked up at the empty countertop.
There isn't even a blanket here.
Zhang Yu smiled.
Just kidding.
He raised his hand.
A flash of white light.
A luxurious little nest has appeared above the bar.
The little nest was several sizes larger than the Kurama's body, with thick, soft cushions inside, and enough space at the edges for it to lie down and peek out.
Kurama was taken aback for a moment.
"Is this for me?"
"If it's not for you, why would I give it to Hashirama?"
Kurama immediately jumped in.
It rolled around inside and then spread out its nine tails.
The cushion sank in.
Kurama squinted his eyes.
"Not bad."
"Just not bad?"
"Very good."
Kurama raised his head.
Goodnight, boss.
"Good night."
Zhang Yu left the lobby and returned to his room.
The night grew deeper.
There was silence in the backyard.
Uzuki Yugao, however, remained awake.
She sat on the edge of the bed, holding the gold badge in her hand.
