• Hashirama explained that the tavern's boss wanted to hire Zabuza, and Madara ordered him to fill out the agreement truthfully.

Zabuza signed a preliminary agreement to work at the Undead Tavern after his death, earning Zhang Yu a 100,000-gold-coin reward. When Hashirama showed Zabuza a photograph of Haku, Haku attacked to rescue him, but Madara captured her and exposed Zabuza's lie.

• Haku accepted the agreement after Hashirama explained that Haku would work at the tavern only after death and could go wherever Haku wanted while alive.
