Kakashi was completely stunned.
The newcomer was Zabuza Momochi.
Just two days ago, they witnessed him collapse beside Shiro on the Land of Waves Bridge.
But now, Zabuza, wearing an apron from the back Undead Tavern, stood in front of their table, holding beer and snacks.
Even with that fierce face, he forced out a standard waiter's smile.
Weird.
That's so weird.
Naruto pointed at Zabuza, his voice changing.
" Zabuza?!"
Sakura suddenly shrank back.
"Hasn't he already..."
Sasuke's hand had already instinctively reached for his ninja tool pouch.
Kakashi was even more shocking than them.
Bai's feminine attire and gentle demeanor can also briefly arouse suspicion.
But Zabuza is unlikely to admit his mistake.
This face.
This is the ferocious aura of the Demon of the Hidden Mist.
And that stiff smile that doesn't look like a waiter at all.
That's Zabuza himself.
Zabuza looked at Kakashi and the others, his expression also quite unpleasant.
He never liked the front hall.
On her very first day serving food to guests, she encountered Kakashi and Team 7.
Naruto's ghost-like expression made the veins on his forehead almost bulge out.
As Izuna just mentioned.
Be polite when serving food.
Cannot release killing intent.
Don't scare the guests.
Zabuza himself to hold back and stiffly placed the plate on the table.
Ten bottles of beer and three snacks.
"Enjoy at your leisure."
These two words were practically squeezed out from between his teeth.
Naruto opened his mouth wide.
"You... you... you're really alive?"
Zabuza gave him a cold look.
"I am already dead."
Naruto was even more confused.
"Can someone still serve dishes after they're dead?"
Zabuza's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Kakashi immediately grabbed Naruto's shoulder.
" Naruto, don't talk nonsense."
Naruto, however, was still reeling from the shock.
"But it's Kakashi-sensei!"
"We clearly saw him and Bai die on the bridge with our own eyes!"
Sakura's voice trembled as well.
So that one by the door... really is white?
Zabuza.
He looked towards the doorway.
Bai stood there with her head down, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, clearly having heard what was being said inside.
Zabuza's expression became even more complicated.
Sasuke stared at Zabuza and asked coldly, "Was it Boss Zhang Yu who brought you back?"
Zabuza did not answer immediately.
He doesn't like being questioned.
Especially former enemies.
But this is the Undead Tavern.
He is currently an employee.
Kakashi and his companions were guests.
Zabuza a deep breath, suppressing his temper, and said, "More or less."
"After we died, the boss summoned us here."
Upon hearing this, Team 7 fell completely silent.
Naruto and Sakura's faces were filled with disbelief.
Sasuke's expression changed as well.
Kakashi slowly turned his head and looked at the figure in black uniform at the door.
Bai seemed to sense his gaze, her body stiffened even more, and she quickly lowered her head even further.
In Kakashi's mind, the scene on the bridge in the Land of Waves completely overlapped with the scene before his eyes.
The Lightning Blade pierced through Bai's body.
Zabuza collapsed beside Haku.
They died.
They were brought back by the Undead Tavern.
This utterly absurd reality severely impacted Kakashi's understanding.
Kakashi was finally absolutely certain that the waiter at the door was Haku, and he was utterly shocked.
He stared at Zabuza standing by the table, remaining silent for a long time.
Zabuza's expression was not good.
Don't look at me like I'm dead.
Naruto immediately pointed at him and shouted, "But you were already dead!"
Zabuza's forehead vein throbbed.
He really wanted to shove the brat into the table.
But he held back.
Izuna said that you shouldn't frighten guests when serving food.
Zabuza his teeth and carefully placed the beer and snacks down.
"But the boss brought me and Bai back."
"Now, I'm an employee of the Undead Tavern."
After those words were spoken, Team 7 fell silent again.
Sakura glanced at Zabuza, then at Haku, who was standing by the door with his head down, still not quite recovered.
Sasuke's expression also turned serious.
Naruto opened his mouth, but it took him a long time to manage to utter a single sentence.
"Can you still work after you die?"
Zabuza's face darkened even more.
Kakashi pressed down on Naruto's shoulder and whispered, " Naruto, say less."
He looked at Zabuza, his heart filled with indescribable complex emotions.
enemy.
opponent.
deceased.
Now they've met again in this absurd way.
This life-or-death encounter made Kakashi realize for the first time just how unreasonable Zhang Yu's abilities truly were.
Just then, footsteps came from the direction of the backyard.
Zhang Yu walked out slowly.
"Hey, everyone from Team 7 is here."
Sakura subconsciously looked up.
Then she froze.
It's too beautiful.
That face was clean and pleasing to the eye. When he smiled, he didn't have Kakashi's laziness or Sasuke's coldness, but rather a composure that made you want to look at him more.
Sakura's cheeks flushed red.
"So... so handsome."
Her voice was very soft.
But ninjas generally have good hearing.
Naruto immediately turned around. " Sakura, what did you say?"
Sakura punched him on the head.
I didn't say anything!
Naruto clutched his head and yelled, "You clearly said that!"
Zhang Yu looked at the group of people, smiled, and walked to the table.
Welcome to the Undead Tavern.
Naruto immediately forgot about being hit and jumped up, saying, "Boss! My name is Naruto Uzumaki!"
"The man who will become Hokage!"
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Good, that's ambitious."
Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately perked up.
"Right, right! Boss, you have great taste!"
Sakura quickly stood up and nervously tidied her hair.
My Sakura Haruno.
After saying that, she secretly glanced at Zhang Yu again, her face turning even redder.
Sasuke sat beside him, arms crossed, his tone indifferent.
" Sasuke Uchiha."
He had just finished giving his name when a system notification suddenly popped up in front of Zhang Yu's eyes.
[bite!]
[Temporary prank task triggered.]
[Mission Requirement: Enrage Sasuke Uchiha ]
[Reward Rules: Gold coin rewards will be added based on the level of Sasuke Uchiha's frustration.]
Zhang Yu's eyes lit up.
Is this for real?
The way he looked at Sasuke instantly changed.
This is hardly a guest.
This is clearly a moving bag of gold coins.
Zhang Yu cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Oh, it's Uchiha Sasuke."
Sasuke's face immediately darkened.
My name is Sasuke Uchiha.
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Okay, Uchiha Sasuke."
Sasuke's forehead vein throbbed.
Don't call me Uchiha Sasuke!
[bite!]
[ Sasuke's anger is rising, gold coin rewards are stacking.]
Zhang Yu was even happier.
He continued, "Don't be so serious, the name Uchiha Sasuke sounds much better."
Naruto paused for a moment, then slapped the table and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Uchiha Sasuke!"
" Sasuke, you have a new name!"
Sasuke Naruto a cold look.
"You're the worst student, do you want to die?"
Naruto immediately exploded.
Who are you calling a loser!
Sakura quickly called out, " Naruto! Don't call Sasuke-kun!"
But after she finished speaking, she couldn't help but steal a glance at Zhang Yu.
