Kurenai Yuhi's heart skipped a beat.
Her grip on the cup tightened slightly.
Zhang Yu didn't explain further, but simply pushed the plate towards her.
"Have some snacks first."
"As for other questions, you can ask them later when you've thought them through."
Kurenai Yuhi looked at him, her heart filled with a mixture of curiosity and awe.
She finally nodded gently.
"Good."
Behind the bar, Hashirama was completely in awe.
"That's a really powerful statement from the boss."
"Not giving an answer only makes her want to know more."
Izuna nodded.
She will definitely come again in the future.
Ban sneered.
" Asuma, you're utterly hopeless."
Tobirama added casually.
"From the moment he escaped, he had no chance."
at the same time.
On the streets of Konoha.
Asuma Sarutobi ran frantically, his face deathly pale.
His heart was still pounding when he rushed out of the Undead Tavern.
The Chakra had just Tobirama felt like an icy hand, gripping his throat tightly.
He even had a feeling.
If I had been just one step slower, I really would have died.
But after running a distance, Asuma's fear turned into shame and anger.
Red is still inside.
He actually left the red one behind.
Thinking about this, his face burned with embarrassment.
But he dared not go back.
That white-haired man was terrifying.
That long-haired man was even more terrifying.
Asuma felt increasingly uneasy about what was going on.
How could such a powerful figure suddenly appear in Konoha?
And there's more than one!
He gritted his teeth, quickened his pace, and headed straight for the Hokage Building.
Inside the Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is processing documents.
There have been many things going on in the village lately.
The existence of the Undead Tavern, in addition, always weighed on his mind.
That tavern was too special.
So special that even the Third Hokage dared not provoke him easily.
Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
"Father!"
Asuma rushed in, breathless and covered in cold sweat.
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.
" Asuma?"
What's wrong with you?
Asuma, leaning on the table, exclaimed urgently, "A powerful figure from an enemy nation has infiltrated Konoha!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed.
"What did you say?"
Asuma seemed to have finally grasped at a straw, and spoke rapidly.
"I just found a suspicious tavern in the village."
"There are several powerful individuals whose identities are unknown inside."
"One of the white-haired men had ridiculously strong Chakra; his strength far surpassed that of an elite Jonin."
"There was also a long-haired man whose murderous intent was so terrifying that I couldn't even move."
"They are very likely spies sent by an enemy country!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes instantly darkened.
Are you sure?
Asuma gritted his teeth.
"Sure!"
"They're right inside Konoha, and their attitude is extremely arrogant."
"I suspect they're already planning something bad for the village!"
He described the Undead Tavern as a covert stronghold.
They portrayed Tobirama and Madara as powerful figures from enemy countries whose strength far surpassed that of elite Jonin.
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately became wary.
If such a powerful individual were to infiltrate Konoha, that would be a major event.
He suddenly stood up.
"Someone come here!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Several Anbu appeared in the office in an instant.
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the order in a deep voice.
"Summon the elite of the Anbu."
"Come with me."
"A high-risk enemy is suspected of infiltrating the village."
The Anbu felt a chill run down their spines.
"Yes!"
Soon, a large number of elite Anbu gathered.
Black-clad, masked figures darted across the rooftops.
Asuma felt a little more at ease following Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The father intervened.
There are so many Anbu involved.
Even if those guys were strong, they wouldn't dare to continue being arrogant.
The group traveled at a brisk pace.
The closer Asuma got to the Undead Tavern, the more complicated his feelings became.
The fear remains.
But more than anything, it was the urge to get revenge.
He couldn't accept the disheveled state he had just appeared in.
Especially in front of Kurenai Yuhi.
Finally, the line stopped at the end of the street.
Asuma pointed to the familiar sign ahead and exclaimed urgently, "That's it!"
" The Undead Tavern!"
"They're hiding inside!"
"I was just here, being suppressed by that white-haired man using Chakra."
"Father, they are definitely not ordinary people!"
The Anbu immediately dispersed.
Someone landed on the roof.
Someone sneaked into the alleyway.
Someone held down their Ninja Blade, ready to burst in at any moment.
But the moment Hiruzen Sarutobi saw the sign, his face turned completely ashen.
The Undead Tavern.
It's the Undead Tavern!
He even stopped breathing for a moment.
Of all people to mess with, why did Asuma have to provoke this place?
They even brought him and the Anbu) along?
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a throbbing pain in his temples.
After leaving here last time, he had already listed this tavern as Konoha's highest-level special matters.
The places where the First, the Second, Madara Uchiha could appear were simply beyond the capabilities of ordinary ninjas.
Let alone the Anbu.
Even if all the ninjas in Konoha were to be deployed, it might not be effective.
Asuma was still crying beside her.
"Father, they didn't take Konoha seriously at all."
"Especially that white-haired man, he even spouted nonsense, saying he wanted you to come over there in person!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sudden darkness engulf his vision.
White-haired man.
Tobirama Senju!
His teacher!
Hiruzen Sarutobi a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to slap Asuma away with his staff.
He suddenly raised his hand.
"All Anbu, evacuate!"
The Anbu were all taken aback.
" Lord Hokage?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice grew louder.
"Evacuate immediately."
"No one is to approach the Undead Tavern without my order."
Although the Anbu were puzzled, they dared not disobey.
One by one, the figures vanished quickly.
In the blink of an eye, all the Anbu who had been surrounding the tavern withdrew.
Asuma was dumbfounded.
"Father!"
What are you doing?
"There's a potential Kage Level enemy inside!"
"We've already come all this way, why should we retreat?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi around and snapped, "Shut up!"
Asuma froze, startled by the shout.
He had rarely seen his father look at him like that since he was a child.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was extremely grim.
"You think you've caused enough trouble already?"
Asuma grew anxious.
"I've caused trouble?"
It's them--
"Shut up!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's chest heaved, his beard trembling with rage.
"Come in with me."
Asuma's face turned pale.
"Go in?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at him coldly.
"You caused this mess yourself, do you expect me to clean it up for you?"
After saying that, he ignored Asuma and strode towards the Undead Tavern.
Asuma stood there, a chill running through him.
He finally realized that things didn't seem to be going as he had imagined.
The father was afraid of this tavern.
The tavern door was pushed open.
As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped inside, that familiar sense of oppression washed over him.
He forced a strained smile.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"Excuse me."
In the lobby, Zhang Yu was having snacks with Kurenai Yuhi.
Hearing the noise, he looked up.
