Kakashi looked at the badge.
"Kai."
"You haven't given up yet?"
"Of course we can't give up!"
Kai held the badge closer.
Accept it.
Kakashi remained silent for a moment.
Finally, he reached out and caught the badge.
"Alright."
"I'll accept it."
The two gold badges lit up simultaneously.
Kakashi and Might Guy's names appear on the back of the badge.
A system notification sounded.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing a new CP pairing.]
[Ding! " Might Guy " and " Kakashi " have successfully combined.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 600,000 gold coins.]
[Ding! Host's current gold coin balance: 8,000,000.]
Zhang Yu glanced at his bank balance.
"Set off."
He waved his hand dismissively.
The entire team left Konoha, heading towards the Land of Water.
Two days later.
Zhang Yu and his group traversed the jungle and crossed a grassland before finally reaching the border of the Land of Hot Water.
White steam rose in the distance.
Even before entering the town, there was a faint smell of sulfur in the air.
There are many wooden signs standing by the roadside.
Hot springs, inns, medicinal baths, mulled wine.
Just as Zhang Yu was about to lead his men into the town, Tsunade suddenly caught up from behind and grabbed his sleeve.
Zhang Yu.
"What's wrong?"
Let's rest here for a couple of days.
Tsunade to the hot spring town ahead.
"I've been traveling for two days, my legs are about to give out."
"The hot springs in Land of Hot Water of hot springs) are very famous."
"I came here once before, and I felt completely relaxed after soaking."
Zhang Yu looked at her.
Tsunade added another sentence.
"Just two days."
I promise I won't cause trouble.
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and nodded.
"OK."
Tsunade's face immediately broke into a smile.
"You said it yourself."
"I said it."
She released Zhang Yu and walked quickly towards the town.
Hashirama to Madara and lowered his voice.
Did you see that?
Ban crossed his arms.
"What do you see?"
The boss responds better to gentle persuasion than force.
Hashirama looked serious.
"He'll agree if Tsunade just softens her tone a little."
Ban glanced at him.
"You're only realizing this now?"
Tobirama passed by.
"You two should stop gossiping."
"The boss can hear me."
Hashirama immediately shut his mouth.
The group entered the hot spring town.
The streets are lined with hot spring hotels.
Some had wooden signs hanging at their entrances, others had buckets of hot water placed outside, and several inns had horse-drawn carriages parked in front of them.
Tsunade stood by the roadside, looked around, and finally pointed to the other side of the street.
"That one is good."
Zhang Yu looked in the direction she was pointing.
There was a sign hanging at the entrance of the hotel.
Hot spring inn.
"This is fine."
The group entered the hotel.
The lobby isn't very big.
A middle-aged business owner sat behind the counter.
Zhang Yu walked to the counter.
"Boss, book four rooms."
Hashirama immediately came out from behind.
"Four rooms is too wasteful."
Zhang Yu turned to look at him.
"Six people, four rooms are still a waste?"
Hashirama counted on his fingers.
We can book three rooms.
"I share a room with Ban."
" Tobirama and Izuna a room."
"Boss, you and Tsunade a room."
Tobirama's face immediately darkened.
"Who wants to share a room with Uchiha Izuna?"
Izuna gave a cold laugh.
"I don't want to live with Tobirama Senju either."
Hashirama waved his hand.
"You two stop being so picky."
"What's wrong with squeezing in when you're traveling?"
Tobirama adjusted his glasses.
"Then why don't you squeeze in with Ban?"
"That's exactly what I planned."
Hashirama immediately looked at Madara.
"Ban, you don't have any objections, do you?"
Ban did not answer.
Tsunade spoke first.
"Three rooms it is."
She looked up at the building.
Where is the room?
The hotel owner produced three sets of keys.
"Two large rooms on the left and one small room on the right on the second floor."
Tsunade grabbed one of the keys.
"I'll go up and take a look first."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the stairs.
Hashirama quickly grabbed a bunch of keys.
"Ban, let's go too."
Tobirama was about to reach out, Izuna had already grabbed the last bunch of keys.
" Tobirama Senju, you're too slow."
"Are you looking for death?"
"Come and catch up if you dare."
Izuna turned and went upstairs.
Tobirama's face darkened, but he had no choice but to follow.
Zhang Yu stood in front of the counter, holding the last set of room keys, and didn't move for a long time.
The hotel owner coughed lightly.
"Guest, aren't you going up?"
"Superior."
Zhang Yu put away the keys and walked upstairs to the second floor.
As soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he heard a voice coming from Hashirama.
"Spotted, this place is big!"
"Let's stay here!"
This was followed by Ban's impatient voice.
"Let go of my hand first."
On the other side.
"This one is not bad either."
" Uchiha Izuna, don't touch anything."
"This is a room, not the Senju Clan's warehouse."
After Zhang Yu went upstairs, he saw that Tobirama and Izuna had already entered a large room.
Hashirama and Madara also occupied another large room.
At the end of the corridor, only a small door remained.
Tsunade stood at the door, holding the key in her hand.
"This is the only one left."
Zhang Yu pushed open the door and went in.
The room was indeed small.
There was only a bed, a small table, and a sofa against the wall inside.
There wasn't even a screen.
Tsunade went in and looked around, then sat down on the edge of the bed.
"How about it?"
Zhang Yu stood at the door, silent for a moment.
"Or squeeze into one room."
"Either I move downstairs and rent the place next door."
Tsunade looked up at him.
"I'll listen to you."
Zhang Yu nodded.
"You wait here."
I'll go down and ask.
He turned and went downstairs.
On the other side of the town...
Hidan carried a corpse and Earth Flow down the street with a disgruntled expression.
"What's wrong with this lousy place?"
"We've walked for ages, and we haven't found a Lord Jashin."
"I just asked the soup vendor, and he actually told me to get lost."
Kakuzu carried the other end of the corpse without even glancing at him.
"Shut up."
Hidan was even more dissatisfied.
" Kakuzu, can't you even react?"
"My reaction was, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll send you to be exchanged for money too."
Hidan curled his lip.
The two arrived at the entrance of the hot spring inn.
Kakuzu glanced at the sign, then looked at the counter.
Are there any rooms available here?
The hotel owner flipped through the ledger.
Only one room left.
Kakuzu pulled out some money from his pocket and slammed it on the counter.
"It's booked."
The hotel owner put the money away.
"The guest rooms are on the second floor."
Kakuzu didn't go upstairs immediately.
He glanced at the corpse on his shoulder.
"I'll go to the Exchange first."
"The room is reserved."
"Rest assured."
Hidan followed him out of the hotel.
The two had just reached the street corner when Hidan stopped.
I need to use the restroom.
Kakuzu frowned.
"Hurry up."
"Knew."
Hidan turned and disappeared into a nearby public restroom.
Not long after.
Hidan's screams came from the toilet.
" Kakuzu!"
Kakuzu! Are you still there?!
Kakuzu stood outside the public restroom, his forehead twitching.
"What's wrong now?"
"I didn't bring any toilet paper!"
Hidan crouched inside, and the noise grew louder and louder.
Do you have any on you?
Kakuzu touched his clothes.
"No."
"Then go buy it for me!"
"The money has all been paid to the hotel owner."
Hidan remained silent for two seconds.
So what are you going to do now?
