Yugao cut off a piece of chicken wing and handed it to Zhang Yu.
"Isn't Brother Zhang Yu going to eat?"
"I've already eaten."
You eat.
Yugao didn't try to persuade her any further.
She took two bites, then looked up at Zhang Yu.
Karin and Shiro were both eating with their heads down.
Tayuya was only focused on gnawing on a chicken leg.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Yugao quietly moved closer.
" Brother Zhang Yu."
"Um?"
Tomorrow night.
Yugao paused for a moment.
Come to my room.
Zhang Yu looked at her.
Yugao's ears quickly turned red.
There are some things I want to tell you.
"Good."
Yugao immediately lowered her head.
"Then it's settled."
Zhang Yu didn't linger.
"Take your time eating."
He closed the door and returned to the front hall.
Tsunade was still sitting at the kitchen doorway.
A plate of fried eggs sat in front of her.
His face was even blacker than the bottom of a pot.
Zhang Yu walked up to her and casually tossed her a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).
Bang.
The wine bottle landed steadily on the table.
Tsunade looked down and her expression softened slightly.
"At least you still have some conscience."
She was just about to unscrew the bottle cap when she looked up again.
"Wrong."
"I want roast chicken too."
Zhang Yu stopped in his tracks.
"Didn't you say you'd eat eggs tonight?"
"I've changed my mind now."
You just said that other people get fat from eating chicken.
Tsunade was perfectly justified.
"I'm different from them."
I exercise a lot.
Zhang Yu looked at her.
You'll gain weight too.
"Say it again?"
"I'll go grill it."
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction.
That's more like it.
Zhang Yu went into the kitchen again.
Tsunade glanced around.
After confirming that Shizune was not nearby, she grabbed a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) from the table.
Click.
She easily unscrewed the bottle cap.
Tsunade smelled the alcohol and smiled.
"Now this is what you call a late-night snack."
More than half an hour later.
The second roast chicken is ready.
Tsunade was already seated at the dining table.
"Hurry up."
I've been waiting for ages.
Zhang Yu placed the roast chicken on the table.
Tsunade tore off a large piece of chicken.
"It tastes good."
"Much better than an egg."
"Then why did you fry the egg?"
I was just going to grab a quick bite.
"We don't eat whatever we want anymore."
Zhang Yu picked up his wine glass.
Tsunade poured herself a full glass too.
The two ate chicken and drank alcohol.
A bottle of Erguotou was quickly emptied.
Tsunade's face flushed, but she didn't continue to act tough.
She stood up and picked up the remaining half of the roast chicken.
The rest are mine.
Don't sneak food at night.
Zhang Yu looked at her.
"Can you lift it?"
Don't look down on people.
Tsunade carried the roasted chicken, her steps still relatively steady.
"I am the Fifth Hokage."
"Knew."
Tsunade returned to her room.
Zhang Yu finished tidying up the kitchen and went back to his room to rest.
For the next two months, Konoha down.
Summer is over.
Autumn has come to an end.
Winter is coming soon.
Zhang Yu takes on some routine tasks every day.
I accompanied Ino to pick flowers outside the flower shop.
Accompanying Hinata and Hanabi in practicing Gentle Fist.
I practiced Shuriken with Tenten.
I accompanied Sakura to take several new sets of photos.
The task is not difficult.
Gold coins, however, kept appreciating in value.
By the time the first snow of winter fell, Zhang Yu had accumulated 7.2 million gold coins.
In the lobby.
Zhang Yu leaned back on the sofa and opened the system interface.
[Current Gold Coin Balance: 7,200,000]
[92,800,000 gold coins are needed to reach the goal of 100 million.]
Zhang Yu frowned.
Normal tasks are stable.
The rewards are too meager.
I wonder how long it will take to raise 100 million by working as a sparring partner, taking photos, and running errands.
"System."
Are there any tasks that allow you to earn money quickly?
The system interface changes rapidly.
[Ding! Host has been detected to own the Undead Tavern.]
[Special Mission Triggered: Mascot Grand Gathering!]
[Task Requirements: Collect Nine Tailed Beasts to serve as mascots for the Undead Tavern.]
[Quest Reward: 1,000,000 gold coins for each tail obtained.]
Zhang Yu sat up straight.
" Nine Tailed Beasts?"
"One million for each tail?"
Nine-Tails tails.
Eight-Tails and eight roots.
The remaining Tailed Beast, taken together, also amount to a large sum of gold coins.
Once we capture all the Tailed Beast, we can quickly close the gap to 100 million gold coins.
Zhang Yu did not delay.
He opened the Tavern Chat Group.
Zhang Yu: "@All members, the Evil Forces Group of Eight, meet in the office in ten minutes."
Hashirama: "Roger that!"
Ban: "Received."
Tobirama: "Understood."
Izuna: "I'll be there soon."
Asura: "They're here!"
Indra: "Understood."
Hagoromo: "I will come."
Hamura: "Okay."
Ten minutes later.
The tavern's office was packed with people.
Hashirama, Madara, Tobirama, and Izuna sat on the left.
Asura and Indra sat on the right.
Hagoromo and Hamura sat at the back.
Zhang Yu stood in front of the table.
"I've called you all here today because there's something important."
Hashirama immediately asked, "Boss, is there another new recruit to summon?"
"No."
Zhang Yu took out a map of Konoha and spread it on the table.
We need to go out and capture the Tailed Beast.
The office fell silent for a moment.
The first one to open was spotted.
"Capture Nine Tailed Beasts?"
"That's right."
"After we catch them, we'll keep them as mascots in the tavern."
Hashirama looked at the map.
" The Tailed Beast are scattered across various countries."
"If we go directly to capture them, it might alert other ninja villages."
So be it if we disturb them.
Ban crossed his arms.
" Tailed Beast should never have been kept in ninja villages in the first place."
Hagoromo frowned.
" The Tailed Beast are life forms that I separated from the Ten-Tails."
"They should not be used as weapons, much less as tools."
Zhang Yu looked at Hagoromo.
That's why I'm planning to bring them back.
"The tavern includes food and lodging."
"At most, we'll let them sit at the door as mascots for a few days."
Hagoromo remained silent for a moment.
"If they want to, I won't stop them."
Zhang Yu continued, "This time, I'm taking Madara, Hashirama, and Tobirama with me on this trip."
Hashirama nodded immediately.
"I'm fine."
Ban did not refuse.
"Perfect timing to go out and get some exercise."
Tobirama adjusted his glasses.
What responsibilities do I need to have?
"Tracking, analyzing, and handling emergencies."
"Clear."
Zhang Yu then looked at the others.
" Asura and Indra stayed at the tavern."
" Izuna will stay here to help as well."
" Hagoromo and Hamura will continue to oversee the health-preserving teahouse."
Although Asura was somewhat disappointed, he still nodded.
"Don't worry, boss."
Indra said, "Leave the tavern to us."
Hagoromo also spoke.
"There won't be any problems at the teahouse."
After the meeting.
Zhang Yu called all the girls in the bar to the front hall.
Shiro, Karin, Tayuya, and Yugao were the first to arrive.
Ino, Sakura, Hinata, Hanabi, and Tenten also arrived one after another.
Tsunade and Shizune stood at the back.
Zhang Yu looked at everyone.
"I will be leaving Konoha for a while in a few days."
Bai was stunned for a moment.
"Is Brother Zhang Yu going out?"
"Um."
Karin immediately asked, "How long will it take?"
"Uncertain."
"We might have to travel to several ninja villages."
Tayuya frowned.
Are you going to run around alone again?
"Not alone."
"You all stand to one side."
Today I'll show you what real craftsmanship is.
Hinata and Kurenai Yuhi eagerly awaited to see Zhang Yu's culinary skills.
