In the days that followed, the tavern gradually settled down.
The four of them would come over on time every Tenten.
Tidy up the tables and chairs.
Serving dishes and drinks.
Help Bai greet guests.
At first, Ino and Sakura would argue a bit over who carried the plate longer.
Later, when they got busy, they didn't have time to bicker anymore.
Hinata is meticulous in her work.
They work efficiently Tenten.
A month passed quickly.
After Naruto woke up in the hospital, his first words were to go find Sasuke.
Jiraiya did not stop him.
A few days later.
Naruto, carrying his luggage, followed Jiraiya to the Undead Tavern.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
Naruto stood at the doorway, his fists clenched.
I will become stronger.
"Next time I see Sasuke, I'll definitely bring him back."
Jiraiya patted him on the shoulder.
"I'll take care of this kid from now on."
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Don't just focus on practicing on the way; remember to eat."
Naruto grinned.
"Knew!"
The two bid farewell to Zhang Yu, left Konoha, and embarked on a two-and-a-half-year training journey.
Natsuhi is over.
The Konoha have fallen, marking the arrival of autumn.
Tenten, Hinata, Sakura, and Ino completed their one-month part-time job agreement.
The four changed back into their usual clothes.
"It's finally over."
Ino stretched.
"You don't need to come and wait tables every day anymore."
Sakura crossed her arms.
"You were still eager to do it in the last few days."
"I just can't stand how slow you are."
Who was slow?
Tenten quickly stood between the two of them.
"Your work is over, stop arguing."
Hinata smiled and said, "You can still come to the tavern for meals in the future."
The four left the tavern and returned to their lives of training and missions.
The positions at the tavern have now been finalized.
Tayuya and Karin are in charge of the maid duties.
Bai was in charge of greeting guests.
Yugao went into the kitchen to make desserts.
Zhang Yu has opened a new health-preserving teahouse in Konoha.
The teahouse was handed over to Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki to manage.
The two brothers sit behind the counter every day, selling tea while studying life in Konoha.
The night before the day off.
Tayuya, Karin, and Shiro gathered in Yugao's room.
Karin stared at Yugao for a long time.
"Sister Yugao."
"What's wrong?"
"Your complexion has been getting better and better lately."
Tayuya also came over.
My skin is better than before.
"Have you been secretly using some skincare routine?"
Bai nodded earnestly.
"Sister Yugao looks more energetic than before."
Yugao nearly dropped the plate of desserts in her hands.
No... no.
Karin crossed her arms.
"No?"
Tayuya squinted her eyes.
There's definitely something wrong.
Bai asked softly, "Sister Yugao, can't you really tell us?"
Yugao's face grew increasingly red.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Zhang Yu stood at the door.
He originally wanted to ask Yugao about the snacks.
But when the door opened, a bunch of girls were sitting inside.
Karin, Tayuya, and Shiro all turned to look at them.
Yugao lowered her head immediately.
Zhang Yu stood there for two seconds.
He then scratched his head, turned around, and left.
It's late at night.
Zhang Yu stood in the backyard, looking at the moon in the sky.
Tsunade had just finished her night shift and walked in through the back door.
She was still holding the Hokage hat in her hand.
What are you doing standing here all by yourself?
"Moon gazing."
Tsunade walked over to him.
Zhang Yu.
"Um?"
Do you want the Hokage position?
Zhang Yu turned to look at her.
"Don't want."
Tsunade raised an eyebrow.
I'll give you the spot.
"I don't want it either."
"You're so strong, and you're smarter than Hashirama."
"Then you keep it."
Tsunade.
"That's so boring."
She glanced at Zhang Yu, then looked towards the apartment in the backyard.
Why aren't you going to Yugao's room tonight?
Zhang Yu was just about to speak.
Tsunade had already rushed to the front hall for a late-night snack, leaving Zhang Yu standing there alone. As soon as Tsunade entered the backyard, she went straight to the kitchen.
She opened the refrigerator, took out a few eggs, and then flipped over a frying pan.
Let's have something simple to eat tonight.
"Fry a few eggs, and have some wine."
Zhang Yu followed him in.
"You drank again?"
Tsunade turned around and glared at him.
"I'm not drunk."
"It was an accident last time."
"Everyone who's drunk says that."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Tsunade cracked the egg into a bowl and picked up her chopsticks to whisk it.
Zhang Yu ignored her.
He took a whole, prepared chicken from the other side of the kitchen and started seasoning it.
Stuff the chicken cavity with scallions and ginger.
Brush the outer skin with sauce.
Then sprinkle with salt and spices.
Tsunade, who had been staring at the eggs in the pot, slowly turned her head after smelling the aroma.
"What are you doing?"
"Roast chicken."
"The whole one?"
"Um."
Looking at the chicken, Tsunade suddenly lost the appetite for the fried egg in her mouth.
"Good."
"They even knew to add more food for me."
Zhang Yu put the roast chicken into the oven.
Who said you got to eat it?
Tsunade stopped using her chopsticks.
"Not for me?"
"No."
"Then why are you roasting such a big chicken?"
"Send it to Yugao."
Tsunade's face immediately darkened.
"For Yugao?"
"Right."
"She can eat such a big thing by herself?"
"Her room also contains Shiro, Karin, and Tayuya."
That won't work either.
Tsunade placed the spatula into the pot.
" Yugao eats so much, she'll get fat sooner or later."
Zhang Yu glanced at her.
"If you gain weight, you can exercise."
Tsunade crossed her arms.
"Isn't she, a Anbu, getting enough exercise normally?"
"Then exercise more."
"Just keep indulging them."
I haven't spoiled you.
Tsunade in anger.
The aroma from the oven grew stronger and stronger, as Zhang Yu and others waited.
Shortly after, the oven beeped.
He put on gloves and brought out the whole roasted chicken.
The chicken skin was roasted until golden brown.
The grease dripped down the edge.
The aroma quickly filled the kitchen.
Tsunade stared at the baking pan, her stomach letting out a disapproving growl.
Zhang Yu carried the roast chicken toward the door.
"Where you go?"
"Deliver food to Yugao."
Zhang Yu!
Zhang Yu left the kitchen without looking back.
Tsunade stood there, her hand gripping the spatula so tightly it was almost bent.
"Asshole."
In Yugao's room.
Shiro, Karin, and Tayuya were sitting at the table.
Bai is tidying up the leftover snacks from today.
Karin was holding a plate of fruit.
Tayuya was lying on the table, a piece of dried meat still clenched in her mouth.
The door was pushed open.
Yugao turned around to look.
" Brother Zhang Yu?"
Zhang Yu walked in carrying a baking tray.
"Night snack."
Bai immediately stood up.
"It smells so good."
Karin moved closer to the baking tray.
A whole roasted chicken?
Tayuya sat up straight.
"Is this for us to eat?"
"Um."
Zhang Yu placed the baking tray on the table.
"Distribute it while it's hot."
Take the plate for free.
Yugao picked up a knife, preparing to cut the roast chicken.
Karin had already reached out and torn off a chicken leg.
I'll take it first.
Tayuya didn't hold back either.
"The other one is mine."
I took a small piece of chicken breast for free and ate it in small bites.
Her eyes lit up as soon as she took a bite.
"The outside is very crispy."
"It's very tender inside."
