Bai was even more bewildered.
After death. Tavern. Colleagues. Boss.
These words, when put together, are even harder to understand than a ninja mission.
Zabuza's expression grew increasingly strange.
Before he died, he thought the agreement was just a cruel joke of the powerful.
Did it really work?
Do you really get a job after you die?
Madara, seeing that Hashirama's explanations were only making things more confusing, said coldly.
[ Madara Uchiha: Hashirama, shut up.]
[ Hashirama Senju: Wasn't I explaining?]
[ Madara Uchiha: The more you explain, the less they understand.]
[ Hashirama Senju: Really?]
[ Uchiha Izuna: Yes.]
[ Tobirama Senju: His brother's explanation lacks focus and the logical order is chaotic.]
[ Hashirama Senju: Tobirama, even you say that?]
[ Tobirama Senju: The truth.]
Zabuza and Haku watched the conversation in the group chat, their hearts filled with growing shock.
These names are more frightening than the last.
If they hadn't just experienced death, Zabuza would have definitely thought it was some kind of Genjutsu.
The problem is, even death has already occurred.
Even the most absurd things seem acceptable now.
Zhang Yu, having watched the excitement unfold, finally chimed in.
[ Zhang Yu: Okay, I'll speak now.]
As soon as he appeared, the group chat fell silent; no one spoke.
Zabuza keenly perceived this.
Zhang Yu is the core member of the group.
[ Zhang Yu: Zabuza, Haku, you both signed the Undead Tavern employee recruitment agreement before.]
[ Zhang Yu: The contents of that agreement are very clear: your movements will not be restricted while you are alive.]
[ Zhang Yu: But after you die, your souls will be received by the tavern and you will become official tavern employees.]
[Bai: So... we're not in the Pure Land now?]
[ Zhang Yu: To be precise, you've just arrived at the edge of the Pure Land, and haven't even fully entered into Pure Land yet, before being locked into the tavern contract.]
[ Zhang Yu: You're in two states right now.]
[ Zhang Yu: One is a soul that has just awakened.]
[ Zhang Yu: The other one is waiting for me to summon you to the Undead Tavern.]
Zabuza looked at these words and finally felt a little more at ease.
They died.
However, due to the agreement, it did not completely disappear.
Zhang Yu can take them to that so-called Undead Tavern.
This is much clearer than what Hashirama just said.
Bai Xiaoxin asked.
[Bai: Once we get to the tavern, will we still have bodies?]
[ Zhang Yu: Yes.]
[ Zhang Yu: The tavern will reshape your undead bodies into movable forms.]
[ Zhang Yu: You can eat, drink, sleep, talk, and even feel pain and temperature.]
[ Zhang Yu: Aside from his status as an undead employee, he's essentially the same as when he was alive.]
Bai's heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something.
You might even see Zabuza.
It can still speak and move.
That's enough for him.
Zabuza silent for a long time before finally uttering a sentence.
[ Zabuza Momochi: What's the price?]
Zhang Yu smiled when he saw this sentence.
As expected of Zabuza.
Even at a time like this, they're still thinking about conditions and costs.
[ Zhang Yu: The price is working at a tavern.]
[ Zhang Yu: Serving drinks, entertaining guests, maintaining order; specific duties depend on the assignments.]
[ Zhang Yu: Don't worry, the Undead Tavern doesn't mistreat its employees.]
[ Hashirama Senju: That's right! The boss is a very nice person!]
[ Madara Uchiha: The sake is good too.]
[ Tobirama Senju: The treatment is acceptable, and the accounts are clear.]
[ Uchiha Izuna: The snacks and food were also very good.]
Zabuza watched these legendary figures solemnly endorsing Zhang Yu, that sense of absurdity welled up in his heart again.
The First Hokage said the boss was a good person.
Madara Uchiha said the wine was good.
The Second Hokage said the accounts were clear.
What is all this nonsense?
Zhang Yu didn't keep them in suspense any longer.
He raised his hand and tapped the system summoning interface.
Two names have been lit up.
[Target: Zabuza Momochi.]
[Target: White.]
[Status: Contract Employee, available for formal summoning]
Zhang Yu confirmed it directly.
"Call."
The next second, two beams of white light descended simultaneously in the lobby of the Undead Tavern.
Hashirama, Madara, Tobirama, Izuna all looked up.
In the white light, two figures gradually solidified.
A tall man, exuding the fierce aura of Demon of the Hidden Mist.
She was slender, with clean-cut features and a gentle demeanor.
It was Zabuza Momochi and Haku.
The light faded.
Zabuza opened his eyes and immediately reached behind him.
But he didn't have Kubikiribōchō on his back.
His hand froze in mid-air, and his face immediately darkened.
Haku opened his eyes and Zabuza.
"Mr. Zabuza!"
Zabuza his head and saw Haku, his pupils contracting slightly.
"White."
Bai immediately went to his side, her voice still trembling slightly.
Are you alright?
Zabuza did not answer.
He looked down at his hands.
It has skin, temperature, and can breathe.
Slight sounds could be heard coming from inside the tavern.
You can even smell the aroma of alcohol and the lingering spiciness of the hot pot in the air.
Bai also became aware of his own state.
He raised his hand, his fingertips gently pressing against his chest.
There was no longer any wound from the Lightning Blade strike.
His body was intact and his senses were clear.
It felt like I had truly been reborn.
Zabuza looked at Zhang Yu.
Behind the bar, Zhang Yu sat there, looking relaxed.
But in Zabuza's eyes, this young man had become unfathomable.
It can bring people back from the dead.
It's a place where legendary figures like the First, the Second Hokage, Madara Uchiha can work.
This is almost the realm of the gods.
Bai also looked at Zhang Yu.
His eyes held no fear, but rather awe.
" Boss Zhang Yu..."
Zhang Yu nodded.
Welcome to the Undead Tavern.
"You've just died; your souls and bodies need time to adjust."
"No work today."
"Let's go rest in the backyard apartment first."
"The rooms are all available; please choose one."
Bai was taken aback for a moment.
He originally thought that he would be assigned a task as soon as he arrived.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu's first words were to tell them to rest.
Zabuza also somewhat surprised.
Zhang Yu waved his hand.
Don't force yourself.
"Having just woken up from the brink of death, no matter how tough you are with words, your mind won't be completely clear."
"Take a nap first."
"We can talk about it tomorrow."
Hashirama also spoke with a smile.
"Yes, newcomers need time to adjust."
"The backyard room is very clean, and there are bedding available."
Izuna added a sentence.
"If you need hot water, you can use the bathroom in the backyard."
Tobirama said calmly, "Don't tamper with the tavern's equipment."
Ban crossed his arms and said coldly, "Don't cause trouble."
Zabuza's lips twitched.
This way of welcoming people is quite unique.
Bai bowed his head earnestly.
Thank you everyone.
Zhang Yu looked at Izuna.
" Izuna, take them there."
Izuna nodded.
"Come with me."
Haku helped Zabuza walk towards the backyard.
Zabuza was actually able to walk on his own, but he didn't push Haku away.
He remained silent the entire way, his gaze sweeping across the hall.
The more he looked, the more confused he became.
When they arrived at the backyard apartment, Izuna pointed out two adjacent rooms to them.
You can stay here for now.
"The boss will make arrangements tomorrow morning."
Bai nodded gently.
"Thanks."
