Ban stared at the word "male" and remained silent for several seconds.
Then I looked at Bai's face again.
"Is it really a man?"
Bai's voice was harsh.
"Yes."
Hashirama finally couldn't help but cough lightly.
"Ban, don't be so serious."
"Speaking of which, weren't you also mistaken for a woman by the Kirigakure Ninja just now?"
As soon as those words were spoken, Haku and Zabuza looked up at the same time.
Kakashi's lips twitched.
Ban's face instantly darkened.
" Hashirama."
Hashirama immediately realized something was wrong.
"I just said it offhand."
Ban took a step forward.
Do you want to dance?
Hashirama quickly took half a step back.
"Ban, calm down!"
"The boss is waiting for us to hand in our task!"
Ban sneered.
The mission is complete.
Hashirama's expression froze.
"We still can't fight!"
Madara's aura suddenly intensified.
Hashirama quickly raised his hand to block it.
The two were on the verge of escalating their argument in the woods.
Kakashi felt a chill run down his spine and immediately took a step back.
If these two really make a move, the forests of the Land of Waves will probably be completely wiped out on the spot.
The white reaction is extremely fast.
Taking advantage of the moment when Madara and Hashirama's attention was diverted, he immediately helped Zabuza.
" Zabuza- san, let's go."
Zabuza Madara and Hashirama a deep look, and then refrained from uttering any more threats.
He knew very well that there was no point in staying now.
Bai supported him, and with a few leaps, they disappeared into the depths of the mist.
Madara noticed, but did not give chase.
The agreement has been signed.
The fact that these two people left alive was actually more valuable to Zhang Yu.
Inside the Undead Tavern.
Zhang Yu watched as Haku and Zabuza quickly escaped, and finally couldn't help but complain.
"Truly worthy of being called Bai."
"This face is enough to cause misunderstandings anywhere."
He stroked his chin, and another idea quickly popped into his mind.
"But it's not necessarily a bad thing."
"Once I actually join a tavern, I can definitely put on a good show for it."
" Ice Release boy with delicate features, a cross-dressing master named Bai."
"Shouldn't this be a signature employee at the Undead Tavern?"
The thought of Bai appearing in the tavern with an iced drink made Zhang Yu feel much better.
feature.
That's so unique!
Just then, system notification sounds rang out continuously.
[bite!]
[Posthumous recruitment pre-signing agreement successfully signed.]
[Target: White.]
[Identity: Owner of the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.]
[Potential Assessment: High]
[Rewards being distributed--]
[Congratulations, host, you have received 50,000 gold coins.]
Zhang Yu's eyes lit up instantly.
"Fifty thousand!"
"Good!"
As expected of someone with the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, Bai is indeed valuable.
Immediately afterwards, a second notification popped up.
[bite!]
[Task 2: Tavern expansion completed.]
[Mission Requirement: Recruit two new tavern members.]
[Currently completed: Zabuza Momochi, Haku.]
[Task rewards are being distributed --]
[Congratulations, host, you have been granted one summoning opportunity.]
[Congratulations, host, you have received 1000 gold coins.]
[Current Gold Coins: 153,500]
[Current summon count: 2.]
Zhang Yu felt much better.
Previously, he was worried about having to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins to buy speakers, subwoofers, DJ turntables, and lighting equipment.
What about now?
Zabuza the remaining 100,000...
Bai fifty thousand.
The task will be supplemented by another thousand.
With the original accumulation, the number of gold coins surged to over 150,000.
The number of summons has reached two.
Zhang Yu leaned back in his chair, becoming more and more satisfied with what he was thinking.
"The feature of pre-signing agreements after death is really great."
"Sign while you're alive, and you'll get your money back after you sign."
"They automatically join the job after death, and it doesn't consume any summoning attempts."
"Isn't this just getting free employees and reaping investment returns on the side?"
He now fully understands just how worthwhile this mechanism is.
Normal summons require a number of attempts.
Can targets be pre-signed?
Once the target dies and enters the Undead Tavern, it's like having an extra employee, and it doesn't count as a summoning slot.
Moreover, they give you gold coins on the spot when you sign the contract.
This deal is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.
Zhang Yu opened the work group.
Sure enough, Hashirama's message had already arrived.
[ Hashirama Senju: Boss, mission complete.]
[ Hashirama Senju: Zabuza and Haku have both signed.]
Ban then sent a message.
[ Madara Uchiha: Done.]
Zhang Yu was in a great mood.
[ Zhang Yu: Well done.]
[ Zhang Yu: Getting ready to come back.]
Hashirama replied immediately.
[ Hashirama Senju: Back now?]
[ Zhang Yu: Yes.]
[ Zhang Yu: Let Kakashi continue with the remaining matters in the Land of Waves.]
[ Madara Uchiha: Okay.]
Zhang Yu didn't waste any more words.
He raised his hand and tapped the tavern's access permissions, locking onto Hashirama and Madara's locations.
The next second, in the forest of the Land of Waves.
A white light simultaneously shone at the feet of Hashirama and Madara.
Kakashi had just turned his gaze away from the direction where Haku and Zabuza left when he saw two pillars of light rise from the ground.
His expression changed.
"This is..."
Naruto's eyes widened as well.
"Why are those guys glowing?"
Sakura instinctively stepped back.
Sasuke stared intently at the pillar of light, his expression one of shock.
The light enveloped Hashirama and Madara.
Hashirama smiled and waved at Kakashi.
"The escort mission from now on is entrusted to you."
Madara glanced at Kakashi indifferently, but said nothing.
The next instant, the two figures vanished into thin air.
The beam of light dissipated.
The woods returned to quiet.
Kakashi stood there, his heart churning with turmoil.
They directly recalled Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha from the Land of Waves.
No Hand Seals.
There is no spirit communication array.
There are no distance restrictions.
This is something that cannot be explained by ordinary Ninjutsu.
What's even more frightening is that Hashirama and Madara showed absolutely no resistance to this recall.
What does this tell us?
This indicates that Zhang Yu, the owner of the Undead Tavern, possesses the authority to command the tacit obedience of these two legendary powerhouses.
Kakashi looked up at the spot where the pillar of light had disappeared, and only one conclusion formed in his mind.
Boss Zhang Yu is even more mysterious than Hashirama and Madara.
Even more terrifying.
From now on, no matter what, we should try our best to maintain good relations.
We must never offend them.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, and turned to look at Team 7.
"Alright."
"Mission continues."
Naruto hadn't come to his senses yet.
" Kakashi-sensei, those two old men just left like that?"
Kakashi nodded.
"Um."
"Next, escorting Mr. Tazuna home is still our task."
Sasuke silently withdrew his gaze.
Sakura also stood next to Tazuna again.
Tazuna stared at the spot where Hashirama and Madara had disappeared for a long time before swallowing hard.
He will never forget this escort mission.
Inside the Undead Tavern.
A flash of light.
Hashirama and Madara returned to the hall at the same time.
Zhang Yu sat behind the bar, watching the two of them, unable to suppress his smile.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Hashirama immediately smiled and said, "Boss, did the mission go smoothly?"
Zhang Yu nodded.
"It went very smoothly."
"Especially the gold coins, everything went very smoothly."
Ban crossed his arms.
"Award."
Zhang Yu's lips twitched.
"You remember it quite well."
Hashirama immediately perked up.
"Boss, vodka!"
Seeing the two of them like this, Zhang Yu was in a good mood and didn't bother to argue.
The two of them truly made a great contribution this time.
Zabuza and Haku together caused the tavern's funds to skyrocket.
