On the other side.
The hot spring resort is located at the very back of the town.
A huge light-up sign hangs at the entrance.
The lobby has wooden floors, and pictures introducing the hot springs hang on the walls.
Accommodation, medicinal baths, massages, and dining are all available.
Hashirama and Tobirama had already arrived.
The two booked the entire hot spring resort and made arrangements with the owner beforehand.
No matter what demands Hidan and Kakuzu make today, we must try our best to stall them.
Hashirama stood at the entrance of the hall, holding two signs in his hands.
The sign on the left says "Men's Bath".
The sign on the right reads "Women's Bath".
Tobirama looked around.
"Nobody's here."
Hashirama immediately switched the two plaques.
The men's soup that was originally on the left has been replaced with the women's soup.
The women's bath on the right has been replaced with a men's bath.
Izuna and Madara had already gone inside.
After exchanging the nameplates, Hashirama and Tobirama quickly hid behind the screen on the side of the hall.
Not long after.
Zhang Yu and Tsunade entered the hot spring resort.
Tsunade glanced around the hall.
"This place looks pretty good."
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Go change your clothes first."
Tsunade walked towards the women's changing room.
See you later.
Zhang Yu then entered the men's locker room.
A few minutes later.
He changed into his bathrobe and came out of the changing room.
Two signs hung quietly at the entrance to the hall.
The sign on the right says "Men's Bath".
Without much thought, Zhang Yu headed straight for the entrance on the right.
After his figure disappeared.
Hashirama and Tobirama ran out from behind the screen.
The two quickly moved the signs for the men's and women's baths back to their original positions.
Then, Hashirama glanced towards the entrance of the hot spring resort.
" Hidan and Kakuzu should be arriving soon."
Tobirama nodded.
We must stall them today.
"Let them in after Zhang Yu is finished."
Hashirama and Tobirama entered the men's hot spring valley first.
The hot spring resort is very large.
Several hot spring pools are separated by tall artificial mountains, with steam constantly rising from the cracks in the rocks, making it impossible to see even a few meters away.
They lowered their voices Hashirama.
" Tobirama, when Hidan and Kakuzu come in, we'll do as the boss says."
Tobirama nodded.
Don't laugh too obviously.
"I know."
"Especially avoid calling someone by their name as soon as you meet them."
Hashirama scratched his head.
"I'm not stupid."
Tobirama glanced at him.
You'd better not be stupid.
On the other side.
Zhang Yu pushed open the wooden door at the right entrance and entered the hot spring valley.
A white mist rushed towards us.
He walked along the stone path for a while, looking around.
Hashirama and the others?
The hot spring pools were all hidden by artificial hills and bamboo groves.
Zhang Yu didn't see Hashirama, nor Madara or Tobirama.
He thought for a moment.
"The hot spring resort is so big, they should soak in separate areas."
Zhang Yu did not continue searching.
He raised his hand and waved.
A small wooden tray appeared in my hand.
Several bottles of premium Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) were placed on the tray, with water droplets still clinging to them.
"Let it soak for now."
"Let's drink together once we find them."
Zhang Yu carried the tray and walked towards the hot spring pool further inside.
Separated by several artificial hills.
Tsunade was already soaking in the women's hot spring.
She leaned against the edge of the pool, her whole body immersed in the hot spring water, with only her shoulders and head showing.
After traveling for two consecutive days, she was indeed quite tired.
The hot spring water is very hot.
Tsunade closed her eyes and slowly swam towards the center of the pool.
"Now that's what rest is all about."
Inside the male hot spring valley.
Hashirama and Tobirama walked around the artificial hill and returned to the hot spring pool they had chosen beforehand.
Madara and Izuna are already soaking in it.
The Kurama lay on a rock by the pool, only half of its body submerged in the water, its nine tails all huddled together.
As soon as Hashirama reached the edge of the pool, he jumped right in.
boom!
A large splash of water erupted.
Ban couldn't dodge in time and was completely drenched in the hot spring water.
Ban's face immediately darkened.
" Hashirama!"
Hashirama emerged from the water.
"Ban, this is how you truly enjoy a hot spring bath!"
If you dare splash me again, I'll push you to the bottom of the pool.
Don't be angry.
Hashirama wiped his face.
"I didn't do it on purpose."
Ban stared at him.
"You even glanced at me before you jumped."
Hashirama immediately turned to look at Tobirama.
" Tobirama, did you see that?"
"I saw it."
Tobirama spoke softly.
"Big brother did it on purpose."
Hashirama's smile froze.
" Tobirama, why are you taking Madara's side?"
Izuna crossed his arms.
"Because Brother Ban is right."
Kurama shrank into the water and raised his paw to pat the surface.
"Can you guys be quiet for a second?"
"I just woke up."
Hashirama immediately laughed:
" Kurama, you're here to soak in the hot springs too?"
Kurama snorted.
"I just think the water temperature is nice."
Tobirama glanced in the direction of the entrance.
"Stop fooling around."
" Hidan and Kakuzu could arrive at any moment."
The group then quieted down.
Not long after.
Two people walked in through the entrance of the hot spring resort.
As Hidan entered the lobby, he burst into laughter while holding the coupon in his hand.
" Kakuzu, do you see that?"
"Free meal!"
"I'm having a lucky day; even the Lord Jashin approves of my hot spring bath."
Kakuzu acknowledge him.
He carried the black briefcase and walked to the locker.
The box contained the money I had just received from the Exchange.
Kakuzu first put the box into the cabinet.
I confirmed that the latch was closed.
Finally, tuck the key inside the clothes.
Hidan stood to the side, looking impatient.
"You're just soaking in a hot spring, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"
Kakuzu spoke coldly.
"You'll pay for the lost money?"
"I don't have the money to compensate you."
"Then shut up."
Hidan curled his lip.
"With so many stitches on your body, you still managed to hide a key."
Kakuzu closed the cabinet door.
"At least my body is better than yours."
"Your evil god ritual is truly hideous."
"Every time I finished drawing that lousy pattern, I would lie on the ground like a madman."
Hidan's face darkened.
"That was a ritual offered to the Lord Jashin!"
"You're the kind of guy who only cares about money; you have no idea what's going on."
Kakuzu turned and walked towards the Otoko Onsen Valley.
"I don't need to understand."
All I need to know is that if you keep talking nonsense, I'll sew you to the wall.
Hidan followed behind.
" Kakuzu, you're getting more and more impatient."
The two passed through the entrance and entered the men's hot spring valley.
A white mist filled the air.
Hidan and Kakuzu bypassed a rockery and arrived at a spacious hot spring pool.
Several people were already soaking in the pool.
Hashirama, Madara, Tobirama, Izuna.
There was also the Kurama lying in the water.
Kakuzu's gaze swept over the group of people.
The steam from the hot spring was too thick.
Their faces weren't clearly visible.
None of Kakuzu recognized them.
Hidan didn't take this group of people seriously at all.
"This pool is big enough."
After he finished speaking, he took off his coat and jumped directly into the hot spring.
Water splashed up.
Kakuzu frowned, walked to the other side of the pool, and slowly sat down in the water.
"Behave yourself."
"Leave right after you're done soaking."
Hidan leaned against the edge of the pool.
What's the rush?
We're not in a rush.
Kakuzu closed his eyes.
"We cannot linger in the Land of Hot Water."
"We still haven't found any information about Two-Tails."
"After soaking in the hot springs, let's head straight to the Land of Lightning."
Hidan slapped the water in dissatisfaction.
"Find the Two-Tails, find the Two-Tails."
" Tenten is filled with Tailed Beast."
"I finally got a free meal, and I can't even afford a drink."
