[Task rewards are being distributed --]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: a complete set of high-quality, advanced Genjutsu.]
[Reward Description: No Kekkei Genkai, no complex Hand Seals, extremely few weaknesses, very difficult to break, and can be freely integrated into the host's mental control system.]
In an instant, a vast amount of knowledge about Genjutsu flooded into Zhang Yu's mind.
All kinds of sensory disturbances, mental manipulations, visual deceptions, and blockades of the five senses became crystal clear.
He even had a feeling that, if he wanted to, ordinary ninjas wouldn't even realize when they were attacked.
Zhang Yu was in a great mood.
Before he could even process what was happening, Hashirama, Madara, Tobirama, and Izuna had already surrounded him.
Hashirama's smile was sly.
"Boss, how's the progress?"
Izuna said earnestly, " Teacher Kurenai's face was very red when she left."
Madara sneered, "Still haven't won?"
Tobirama casually added, "Judging from tonight's performance, the number of potential boss ladies is steadily increasing."
Zhang Yu's lips twitched.
"You've all had your fill of hotpot, so now you're using me as an excuse to eat with your food, huh?"
Hashirama immediately said, "Boss, isn't this just because I'm concerned about you?"
Ban coldly replied, "The efficiency is too low."
Zhang Yu glanced at him.
"Ban, learn to speak normally before you judge my efficiency."
Hashirama burst out laughing on the spot.
His freckled face darkened.
Izuna quickly pushed the wine towards him.
"Brother, let's drink."
Tobirama picked up the bowl and returned to the table.
"We haven't finished eating yet."
Zhang Yu was too lazy to argue with them anymore and sat back down at the table.
"Alright, keep eating."
"Nobody's leaving until all this food is eaten tonight."
Hashirama immediately picked up the meat.
"Then I won't be polite!"
Ban snorted coldly and picked up his chopsticks again.
The Undead Tavern is bustling again.
The tavern was unusually quiet for the next two days.
No new guests caused trouble.
No new tasks have been added.
Hashirama craved hot pot every day.
Ban occasionally goes to the DJ booth to test the rhythm.
Tobirama continued organizing the account books.
Izuna is researching new sweets.
Zhang Yu took a nap in his office.
That afternoon, sunlight streamed in through the window.
Zhang Yu was dozing off on his desk, with a half-empty glass of cola beside him.
Suddenly, a system notification sounded in his mind.
[bite!]
[The arrival of the Pure Land spirit has been detected.]
[Target: Zabuza Momochi.]
[Target: White.]
[Both have met the summoning requirements for the Undead Tavern.]
[Summon or not?]
Zhang Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
Zabuza and Haku?
So fast?
He looked at the system panel and immediately realized what was happening.
The mission to the Land of Waves has come to an end.
Zabuza and Haku still couldn't escape their original fate.
The two people who had signed a pre-death agreement long ago now have their souls entering the Pure Land, which means that the Undead Tavern can officially take them over.
Zhang Yu leaned back in his chair, a slow smile spreading across his face.
" Demon of the Hidden Mist."
" Ice Release Boy."
"You two have finally arrived."
He didn't rush to summon it directly.
After all, those two just died, so their mentality is definitely unstable.
Especially Zabuza his mouth, he'll most likely be stubborn the moment he comes in.
Bai is easy to deal with.
However, Zhang Yu was more interested in teasing them first.
He raised his hand and opened the tavern's access permissions interface. As he watched the two grayed-out names become active, his smile grew wider and wider.
Before the formal summoning, let them experience the unique features of the Undead Tavern.
Zhang Yu grinned and opened the Tavern Chat Group, intending to invite Zabuza and Haku in for a good teasing.
He opened the chat group permissions and directly added the two grayed-out names.
[System notification: Zabuza Momochi joined the Undead Tavern Work Group.]
[System notification: Bai has joined the Undead Tavern Work Group.]
The next second.
The group chat was silent for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, a message popped up.
[ Zabuza Momochi: Where is this place?]
The words were tinged with wariness.
Soon, a second message appeared.
[White: Zabuza- san?]
[ Zabuza Momochi: Haku?]
[Bai: I'm here.]
[ Zabuza Momochi: Are you alright?]
[Bai: I... don't know.]
The two people in the Pure Land had just regained consciousness, their minds still in a state of confusion.
Just moments before, they had collapsed on the bridge in the Land of Waves.
Haku stood in front of Zabuza, his chest pierced by the Lightning Blade.
Zabuza, dragging his battered body, charged towards Gato, finally collapsing beside Haku.
Cold. Blood. Mist. Snow. Death.
Before those images had even faded, they were suddenly pulled into this strange chat group.
Zabuza's first reaction was not fear, but vigilance.
He clearly remembered that he was already dead.
But why can it still speak after it's dead?
Why can I still see white?
Bai was equally bewildered.
His last memory was of taking a fatal blow for Zabuza.
At that moment, he felt no regret.
He felt that dying as Zabuza's tool was his final destination.
But now, he is still "alive".
You can even clearly see the text in the group chat.
[White: Zabuza- san, what are we doing...]
[ Zabuza Momochi panic.]
Zabuza sent those words very quickly.
But he himself wasn't sure either.
Just then, Hashirama started bubbling.
[ Hashirama Senju: The newbie's awake.]
[ Hashirama Senju: Don't be nervous. You signed an agreement beforehand that you would work in the Undead Tavern after you die.]
[ Zabuza Momochi: After Death?]
[Bai: Are we really dead?]
[ Hashirama Senju: Yes.]
That one word immediately silenced the group chat again.
Zabuza stared at those words, his fingers unconsciously clenching.
Although he had already guessed it, being confirmed by someone still felt like being hit by a heavy hammer.
Bai also fell silent.
He died.
It wasn't an illusion after all.
They really have died in the Land of Waves.
At that moment, Ban made a comment.
[ Madara Uchiha: Accept the facts.]
[ Madara Uchiha: You are already dead, but because of the contract, you will be taken to the Undead Tavern the owner.]
[ Zabuza Momochi: Madara Uchiha?]
Zabuza's mind went even more into turmoil upon seeing that name.
That legendary Madara Uchiha?
How come you're in this group too?
[Shiro: Lord Madara?]
Bai was stunned.
He had been subdued by Ban in the woods before.
He remembered that power all too clearly.
At the time, he only knew that the other party was very strong, but he did not truly understand the weight of that name.
Seeing this name again after death evokes a sense of absurdity.
[ Zabuza Momochi: Who exactly are you?]
[ Madara Uchiha: Madara Uchiha.]
[ Zabuza Momochi:...]
This answer is the same as no answer at all.
Hashirama quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
[ Hashirama Senju: Simply put, you are dead, but you have not completely disappeared.]
[ Hashirama Senju: Because you signed a recruitment agreement for the Undead Tavern, you will come to the tavern after you die.]
[Bai: But... working after death?]
[ Hashirama Senju: Yes.]
[ Hashirama Senju: Here we have sake, food, lodging, and a boss.]
[ Hashirama Senju: From now on, we'll be colleagues.]
