When the man in front of me said "I'll turn you into a ghost," it didn't sound like a threat at all.
It's more like stating a fact that can be done at any time.
Hashirama added from the side, "Don't worry, it's just a preliminary signing."
"You'll only come work at our tavern after you've really died."
"Signing now won't do you any harm."
Zabuza gripped the agreement, falling silent.
What do you mean by "waiting until he really dies"?
That sounds even more outrageous than a threat.
But the two oppressive forces still pressed down on him.
He felt it was dangerous to even ask one more question.
Zabuza looked down at the agreement and found that the information section was quite detailed.
Name.
age.
Place of origin.
Ninja Rank.
Areas of expertise.
Would you be willing to work at the Undead Tavern after you die?
There's still space for a signature at the bottom.
Cold sweat Zabuza down Zabuza's forehead.
In the distance, the students from Team 7 were completely dumbfounded.
Naruto pointed at Zabuza and whispered, "Is he really filling it in?"
Sakura's expression was blank.
"It seems... they really are filling it out."
Sasuke's lips twitched slightly.
The Demon of the Hidden Mist had just made a menacing entrance.
Now I'm standing by the tree, being blocked by two men as I fill out an employment agreement.
Is something wrong with this world?
Kakashi remained silent for a long time before finally raising his hand to scratch the back of his head.
"Well..."
"At least we don't have to fight anymore."
Tazuna watched with mixed feelings.
On one hand, there was the fear of being hunted down by the Demon of the Hidden Mist.
On one hand, there's the absurdity of the Demon of the Hidden Mist being forced to fill out forms.
In all his years, he had never seen such an outrageous scene.
Zabuza filled it up very quickly.
He wrote each word very carefully.
He was terrified that if he made a single mistake, the long-haired man in front of him would snap his neck.
A few minutes later, Zabuza handed the agreement to Madara with both hands.
"Filled out."
Ban took it, glanced at it, and casually put it away.
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
Hashirama breathed a sigh of relief.
That's good.
The boss should have received the notification too.
Inside the Undead Tavern.
As expected, the system panel in front of Zhang Yu exploded.
[bite!]
[Posthumous recruitment pre-signing agreement successfully signed.]
[Target: Zabuza Momochi.]
[Identity: Kirigakure, former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist ]
[Strength Assessment: Elite Jonin]
[His early-game combat performance was outstanding, making him a highly valuable recruit.]
[Rewards being distributed--]
[Congratulations, host, you have received 100,000 gold coins.]
Zhang Yu sat up abruptly.
"How many?"
His eyes lit up as he stared at the numbers on the panel.
100,000!
A full 100,000 gold coins!
He had previously been worried about spending several thousand gold coins on speakers, subwoofers, and turntables.
As a result, the system directly awarded 100,000 yuan for Zabuza contracts.
What kind of Demon of the Hidden Mist is this?
This is a walking gold coin gift pack!
Zhang Yu couldn't stop smiling on the spot.
"Okay, okay!"
"Elite Jonin are valuable!"
" Zabuza, one of the top fighters in the early game, certainly didn't disappoint me!"
Seeing Zhang Yu's expression, Tobirama immediately realized something was wrong.
"Boss, the reward is very high?"
Zhang Yu held up one finger.
Tobirama frowned.
"Ten thousand?"
Zhang Yu's smile widened even more.
"One hundred thousand."
Tobirama stopped writing.
Izuna also raised his head.
One hundred thousand gold coins?
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Right."
"This wave is taking off immediately."
Tobirama paused for two seconds, then immediately turned to a new page in the ledger.
"Then the tavern renovation plan can be brought forward."
"The sound system, lighting, specialty beverage supply, and snack ingredient inventory can all be redesigned."
Zhang Yu was in a great mood.
"Once they sign Bai's contract, they might be able to make another profit."
In the forests of the Land of Waves.
Zabuza his affairs with Hashirama, Hashirama took out a photograph from his pocket.
The photo shows a white person wearing a mask.
To be precise, it was the target information that Zhang Yu had prepared for them in advance.
Hashirama held the photo up in front of Zabuza.
Do you know this person?
The moment Zabuza saw the photo, his heart clenched tightly.
white.
How could he not know?
But he showed no sign of anything amiss on his face.
Instead, he frowned and said coldly, "I don't know him."
Hashirama blinked.
Don't you know him?
Zabuza's tone was impatient.
I told you, I don't know him.
Ban glanced at him.
You're lying.
Zabuza his spine.
He forced himself to suppress his emotions and gritted his teeth, saying, "I have no reason to lie to you."
Ban sneered, about to speak.
A faint sound of water suddenly came from the woods.
It's not river water.
It was the sound of water vapor in the air Chakra.
Kakashi's expression changed.
There are still people!
In the next instant, countless ice needles burst forth from the thick fog.
Densely packed.
It was everywhere.
Each one carried a chilling aura, heading straight for the location of Hashirama, Madara, and Zabuza.
Bai was hidden in the tree, wearing an Anbu mask, his hands in a hand Hand Seals position.
The voice was cold and detached.
Ice Release: Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death!
Naruto was startled.
"So many ice needles!"
Sakura immediately shielded Tazuna.
Sasuke gripped his Kunai, his expression grave.
Kakashi was also preparing to make his move.
But Ban simply raised his head, looked at the ice needles, and his face remained completely expressionless.
"At this level."
He Hand Seals with one hand.
So fast that no one could see it clearly.
His chest rose and fell slightly.
The next second, blazing flames erupted from his mouth.
" Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
A massive fireball roared out.
The heatwave instantly tore through the mist.
The moment the ice needles touched the edge of the flames, they emitted a dense hissing sound and instantly turned into water vapor.
Bai's Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death couldn't even get within three meters of them.
The Kakkō illuminated the entire forest.
Naruto stared, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"What a huge fireball!"
Sakura instinctively covered her face, forced to take a half-step back by the heatwave.
Sasuke's pupils contracted.
It is also Fire Release from the Uchiha Clan.
He had seen it, and he had practiced it.
But Madara's Great Fireball was not the Great Fireball he understood at all.
That's not Ninjutsu.
It was more like a sea of fire that swallowed up the forest.
Bai stood on the tree, his heart sinking.
She originally intended to save Zabuza through a surprise attack.
Even if you can't defeat your opponent, at least create a momentary opening.
But her opponent simply used a Fire Release to burn away all her Ice Release.
The gap is too large.
There was absolutely no chance.
Bai Gang was about to retreat when Ban's figure had already disappeared from the Kakkō.
The next second, he appeared on the tree branch.
One hand gripped Bai's wrist, while the other pressed down on her shoulder.
Bai's body stiffened, unable to break free at all.
"Too slow."
Ban said coldly and pinned her down from the tree.
Bai gritted his teeth, trying to condense his Ice Release again.
But as soon as Madara's Chakra pressed down, the flow of Chakra within her body instantly became chaotic.
It felt like being held down by an invisible hand.
Zabuza's expression finally changed when he saw this.
"Stop!"
Ban looked down at him.
"You don't not recognize me?"
Zabuza clenched his teeth and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, but dared not step forward.
Hashirama glanced at Zabuza, then at Haku, who was being held captive by Madara, and sighed.
"So we do know each other."
