At that moment, she finally believed it completely.
The person in front of me is definitely not an imposter.
This kind of Chakra, this kind of oppressive feeling, could not possibly be faked by an ordinary ninja.
Tobirama spoke coldly.
"Ten seconds."
"Don't let the Monkey come over within ten seconds."
I'll take care of it myself.
Asuma's lips were pale.
All the arrogance, anger, and pride from before were crushed to dust by this terrifying pressure.
He wanted to see Kurenai Yuhi one last time.
But my body simply wouldn't cooperate.
All he wants now is to leave.
Stay away from this white-haired man.
They were so far away that those red eyes were no longer visible.
Tobirama's voice grew even colder.
"Ten."
Asuma shuddered.
"Nine."
He couldn't hold on any longer.
What's red?
What face?
What do you mean, the son of the Third Hokage?
They couldn't care less about anything else.
Asuma suddenly sprang up from his chair, his legs buckling as he nearly fell.
He staggered toward the door, without even glancing back at Kurenai Yuhi.
As he went out, his shoulder bumped into the door frame, and he looked more like a terrified ordinary person than Konoha Jonin.
The next moment, he scrambled out of the Undead Tavern and disappeared at the end of the street.
The hall fell silent.
Kurenai Yuhi sat there blankly, her face still somewhat pale.
Her fingers gripped the hem of her dress tightly, her heart pounding wildly.
Asuma ran away.
They really ran away.
They didn't even bother with her.
But she didn't have time to think about any of that right now.
Because the people standing in this tavern were far more terrifying than Asuma's departure.
The First Hokage.
The Second Hokage
And that long-haired man who resembles Madara Uchiha.
And these people all called the young man coming down the stairs "boss".
Seeing that Kurenai Yuhi was still in shock, Zhang Yu softened his tone.
"Take it easy."
What happened just now has nothing to do with you.
Kurenai Yuhi looked up at him, barely managing to keep her voice steady.
"You... who are you?"
Zhang Yu walked up to her, his attitude gentle.
My name is Zhang Yu.
"The owner of the Undead Tavern."
Kurenai Yuhi's pupils contracted slightly.
Looking at Zhang Yu's handsome face, and then at Hashirama, Tobirama, and Madara standing to the side, she was completely overwhelmed with shock.
It's possible to have the First Hokage and Second Hokage work as employees in the store.
It made that terrifying long-haired man obey the rules, and it scared Asuma so much that he scrambled away.
Who exactly is this young man?
Her lips moved slightly, and it took her a long time to utter a single sentence.
" The Undead Tavern..."
What exactly is this place?
Behind the bar.
Madara, Hashirama, Izuna, and a few others quietly peeked out at some point.
Hashirama whispered, "It seems the boss has known her for a long time."
Izuna also lowered his voice. "The boss's attitude towards her was completely different from how he treated Asuma."
Ban sneered.
"I told you, the boss didn't just decide on a whim."
Hashirama immediately retorted, "Madara, the boss is of upright character, how could he be like what you think?"
Ban glanced at him.
"You believe me?"
Hashirama nodded earnestly.
I believe you.
Madara scoffed, "Naive."
Tobirama glanced at them expressionlessly.
Just a reminder.
We are all dead.
"The boss knows living women; there's no need to explain to dead people."
Ban's lips stiffened.
Hashirama immediately covered his mouth, almost bursting out laughing.
Izuna turned his head to the side, and his shoulder twitched slightly.
Tobirama ignored them and turned his gaze back to Zhang Yu and Kurenai Yuhi.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, they prepared to carefully analyze the current situation.
Tobirama did not respond immediately.
He stood behind the bar, his gaze shifting from Zhang Yu to Kurenai Yuhi, then from Kurenai Yuhi's tense shoulders to the untouched glass of water on the table.
Hashirama lowered his voice. " Tobirama, what are you looking at?"
Izuna leaned closer. " Second Hokage, didn't you just say you were going to analyze the situation?"
Ban crossed his arms and said coldly, "Speak."
Tobirama remained silent for two seconds, his tone eerily calm.
The conclusion is obvious.
"The boss has taken a liking to her."
Hashirama's eyes widened instantly.
Izuna almost dropped the snack tongs in her hand.
Ban raised an eyebrow. "You've got your eye on him?"
Tobirama nodded.
"To be precise, the owner wants to add a proprietress to the Undead Tavern."
He added another sentence after saying that.
"There might be more than one."
Hashirama gasped.
"The boss actually thought of this?"
Izuna looked at Zhang Yu's retreating figure with a complicated expression.
"No wonder the boss was so annoyed with Asuma earlier."
Madara sneered.
"I told you, he didn't do it on a whim."
Hashirama immediately retorted in a low voice, "Madara, the boss might just dislike Asuma!"
Tobirama said calmly, "It's true that I can't stand it."
"It's true that we should plan accordingly."
These two things are not contradictory.
Hashirama was stunned.
The corners of Ban's mouth turned up slightly.
Izuna paused for a moment, then said seriously, "If that's the case, the boss will act very quickly."
Tobirama's gaze fell on the hall.
"Not fast."
"Yes, it is."
In the hall, Kurenai Yuhi sat alone at the table.
She lowered her head, her fingertips gently gripping the rim of the cup, a chill running through her.
What she just witnessed felt like a thorn stuck in her heart.
Asuma was also afraid when Asuma pinned her Tobirama.
But she didn't abandon Asuma.
She even instinctively reached out to grab him, trying to stop him from acting impulsively.
And the result?
Tobirama counted to nine, Asuma rushed out.
He didn't look back.
Her safety has not been confirmed.
He didn't even ask her if she wanted to leave together.
At that moment, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't tell whether she felt more embarrassed or disappointed.
She and Asuma have known each other for many years.
Asuma wasn't entirely unaware of her feelings for him.
She used to think that although Asuma was a bit carefree, loved smoking, and was occasionally not very attentive, he was at least reliable.
But today, that reliability has been completely torn away.
Put yourself first in everything.
They got scared and ran away.
They left her alone in this bizarrely strange tavern.
Thinking of this, Kurenai Yuhi felt a tightness in her chest.
Good feelings?
That faint glimmer of affection shattered the moment Asuma rushed out the door.
What made her even more uneasy was the Undead Tavern in front of her.
These legendary figures, who should have long since faded into the annals of Konoha's history, are now standing alive and well in the tavern.
And that young male boss.
The more Kurenai Yuhi thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
She wanted to get up and leave.
My legs feel a little weak.
She wanted to ask.
I don't know where to begin asking this question.
Just then, footsteps approached.
Kurenai Yuhi froze and looked up.
Zhang Yu walked to her table, holding a bottle of iced cola.
Fine water droplets clung to the transparent bottle, while bubbles rose continuously from the black liquid.
He didn't ask Asuma.
They didn't go on to explain the identities of the First and Second.
He simply placed the can of cola gently in front of her.
"Have something cold."
"It's not alcohol, don't worry."
Kurenai Yuhi paused for a moment.
