• Zhang Yu called it limited-edition premium Erguotou, claimed it was difficult to brew and rarely available, and said he had given Hinata the bottle as a special exception.
• Hyuga Hiashi’s hope of obtaining the liquor casually faded as Zhang Yu emphasized its scarcity.

Hyuga Hiashi and Inoichi Yamanaka competed to buy premium erguotou at the Undead Tavern until Madara Uchiha arrived for cola and startled them. Madara abandoned his thoughts of examining Hiashi’s Byakugan, then drank Hashirama’s cola in front of him, leaving Hashirama protesting.
