Yi Shuihan suddenly remembered what he had told Matt Dai yesterday about reducing the number of spots by 10. Obviously, this was the reason why things had turned out this way.
However, Yi Shuihan was still quite satisfied with Matt Dai's dutiful performance.
"Look, it's Brother Yi! He's out."
Kakashi suddenly spotted Yi Shuihan and exclaimed in surprise, instantly drawing everyone's attention to her.
"Is he the Yi-ge that Kakashi and Might Guy always talk about, the owner of this hot spring resort? He's so handsome!" Sunset blushed, and was immediately captivated by Yi Shuihan's good looks.
"He also taught Kakashi and Might Guy martial arts, which eventually became a required subject. He must be a very strong person, but he seems very easy to get along with."
"It would be great if he could give us some pointers on traditional Chinese martial arts."
Now that he's been seen, Yi Shuihan sees no need to hide anymore, even though he never intended to hide anything from the beginning.
"Dai, what exactly happened?"
"Boss, it's like this..."
The truth of the matter was exactly as Yi Shuihan had guessed.
"Well, today is a good day, so I'll make an exception. Besides, the quota is my right anyway, so it's not really an exception. Dai, let them in today!"
"But, boss?"
"What! My words no longer carry any weight?"
"no."
"Then do as I say."
Might Guy, who hadn't intended to stop it in the first place, didn't object this time either. He nodded to Might Guy and the others and then started collecting the money.
Even his own son, Matt Dai, would ask for money, which Yi Shuihan found somewhat amusing.
"Thank you, Brother Yi."
"Long live Brother Yi!!"
Kakashi and his friends expressed their gratitude to Yi Shuihan, who responded with a smile.
The matter would have ended there, but it wasn't just these people who were upset. Those who hadn't been able to get in line immediately became dissatisfied when they saw Kakashi and his group getting into the hot spring.
"Hey, what's going on? Why are these kids allowed in? Didn't they say the spots were full?"
The guy who spoke had a face full of fat and was an ordinary Chunin from Konoha. He was the unlucky guy who was ranked last, so he naturally had the biggest reaction when he saw this scene.
Matt Ke and his group were ranked behind him.
Seeing that Yi Shuihan and Matt Dai remained silent, the man became even more arrogant.
“I was in front of them just now, and if they could get in, then I can too.”
With an arrogant expression, he walked towards the black iron gate.
What he didn't notice was that, apart from him, the others remained completely still, as if they were waiting for something.
Clearly, there were many intelligent people present, and they planned to send him to test Yi Shuihan's attitude.
"Throw him out, blacklist him, and he's never allowed to come in again."
Yi Shuihan said something indifferently, which determined the fate of this Chunin.
"What are you doing? What do you want? I'm a customer."
Might Guy faithfully carried out Yi Shuihan's orders. The Chunin was thrown out, and when he tried to come back in, he was ruthlessly blasted out by Might Guy, who didn't hold back this time and knocked him unconscious.
"Yes, a hard rule should be added: the venue owner has the right to change the number of slots at any time, and also has the right to prevent people from coming to consume, if the venue owner wants to."
Yi Shuihan murmured, then walked to the stone tablet engraved with the ironclad rules and added the ironclad rules he had just thought of.
Upon seeing the new ironclad rule on the stone tablet, everyone present twitched at the corner of their mouths. What a willful fellow.
However, no one dared to criticize Yi Shuihan's willful behavior, partly because they were afraid of being blacklisted themselves, and partly because they knew that speaking out would be pointless.
Satisfied with his work, Yi Shuihan walked to his usual spot, lay down on the beach chair, closed his eyes, and looked like he was about to sleep.
"Hey Dai, close the door. There aren't any customers left today!"
With the sound of the door closing, it finally became quiet.
"I'm finding him increasingly willful."
Even Matt Dae was secretly complaining, but he couldn't feel any ill will towards Yi Shuihan! On the contrary, this kind of Yi Shuihan made him feel at ease. This was how a person should behave. If someone behaved too perfectly, then he would be worried.
"Oh...oh..."
"Come and catch me! Haha, I'm faster than you, you can't catch me."
The sudden sound made Yi Shuihan open his closed eyes, and he was surprised to find two little pigs running one after the other, and the one running in front was the little fragrant pig he had met in the spirit world.
"Holy crap, isn't that the pink pig that Shizune hugged in the original story? Does that mean Shizune has appeared?"
Has Lady Tsunade mentioned me to you?
A soft, sweet voice rang out. Yi Shuihan looked over and saw a little girl with black hair looking at him seriously. Behind her was Tsunade.
Chapter 322, The Changing of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki
"Tuntun, come back quickly."
Tsunade gave a soft shout, and the red pig that had been chasing the miniature pig stopped, then ran in front of Tsunade and rubbed against her.
"Seriously, why would you chase after it?"
Tsunade crouched down and gently hugged Ton-Ton.
How did Tsunade's pets and followers suddenly gather like this? Without any warning! A strong sense of incongruity enveloped Yi Shuihan.
Do you know Shizune?
Tsunade looked at Yi Shuihan with a puzzled expression. Her memories told her that she had never mentioned Shizune.
"Isn't she Kato Dan's niece? I met her once before. You know I have a very good memory."
Yi Shuihan is lying through his teeth.
"So that's it?"
Could it be because of that incident that she started paying attention to Dan? Tsunade glared at Yi Shuihan, thinking that Yi Shuihan was paying attention to her love rival. Although she herself didn't mean it that way, there were rumors circulating outside about her relationship with Kato Dan.
"Dan died in the last great battle. Her niece is very talented in medical ninjutsu, so from today onwards she will be my disciple. Jiraiya and Orochimaru already have disciples, and I can't fall behind."
Tsunade explained why Shizune was there.
"That's right, Lord Yi. Please take good care of me in the future."
Shizune bowed respectfully, behaving like a junior. Although she was indeed a junior, she was much more disciplined than Kakashi and the others.
"No problem. Since you're Tsunade's disciple, you're no different from my disciple. You can come to the hot springs anytime you want. If you have any questions about training, you can come to me. Although I don't know any medical ninjutsu, I can still give you some pointers."
Yi Shuihan said it very simply.
Shizune, who already knew the benefits of hot springs from Tsunade, was overjoyed to hear this. Although she already knew about the relationship between Tsunade and Yi Shuihan, she was still taken aback by Yi Shuihan's affection for Tsunade when she actually arrived.
"How did you get involved with it?"
Yi Shuihan kicked the little pig at his feet, somewhat curious. After all, in his opinion, the pig in Tsunade's arms was not very magical and could not even speak. It was probably not a summoning beast. The two looked similar, but they were different in essence.
Thanks to Yi Shuihan, the current miniature pig can defeat even an ordinary Jonin, while the one in Tsunade's arms can be handled by ordinary people.
"You're just jealous. Jealous of my dashing good looks and charm. With my looks, isn't it normal for a pig to chase after me?"
The little pig said smugly, seemingly quite proud of it.
Yi Shuihan looked at the little pig with a speechless expression, while Jingyin let out a silvery laugh.
Even Tsunade glanced at the little piglet with slight surprise, and finally said seriously to the piglet in her arms, "Don't associate with it anymore, or I won't want you anymore."
Seemingly understanding Tsunade's words, Ton-Ton hesitated, finally letting out a sob, it was unclear whether he agreed or not.
"I've come here because I hope you can help me with something?"
"Oh? There's nothing you can't solve with your abilities."
"Here's the thing, the ceremony for the change of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will be held in three days. Who knows what might happen then? I hope you can be there."
Although Tsunade said that, she wasn't actually too concerned. It was just a precaution. After all, she was confident that she could face any difficulty. Even if the Nine-Tails broke the seal, she could subdue it head-on.
"Anyway, I don't have anything else to do, so I might as well go and take a look. After all, it's actually somewhat related to me."
Yi Shuihan nodded in agreement, after all, the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was Uzumaki Kushina, and their relationship was quite good.
"That's settled then. I have other matters to attend to in the clan, so I'll be leaving now."
"Please take care, Lord Yi."
She's gone already? Yi Shuihan was a little stunned, watching Tsunade leave.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Yi Shuihan arrived at the Senju clan's residence early, and the handover of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki also took place at the Senju clan's residence.
The change of the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki is a major event for Konoha and even the entire ninja world, given the sheer power of the Nine-Tails.
In the original story, the Nine-Tails' attack caused heavy losses to the once powerful Konoha. Despite being the victorious nation, they had to consider the attitude of the Cloud Ninja when signing the treaty, and the Hyuga clan was almost forced to commit suicide by their clan leader.
Konoha wouldn't openly carry out the Jinchūriki exchange, so apart from the true Konoha high-ranking officials, there were no other people present.
There weren't many people present, only about thirty, but their strength was at least that of elite Jonin, and there were quite a few Kage-level powerhouses among them.
The Hyuga clan leader, the Uchiha clan leader, the current Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Legendary Sannin, Danzo, and Konoha advisors were all present. High-ranking figures rarely seen, such as Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, were also there. It could be said that, aside from those not currently in Konoha's inner circle, this gathering represented 80% of Konoha's top fighting force.
Outside the ceremony venue, countless surveillance agents were hidden, not missing a single detail.
Yi Shuihan's arrival instantly drew the attention of everyone present. A barrage of scrutinizing, curious, disdainful, and resentful gazes descended upon him, the immense pressure enough to break even those with weak wills.
However, Yi Shuihan was no ordinary person; this was child's play for him. He walked up to Tsunade without changing his expression and stood down next to her. Apart from nodding to a few people he knew, he didn't even glance at the others.
Many people had heard of Yi Shuihan, but this was their first time meeting him. Seeing Yi Shuihan's performance, they had different thoughts, but in any case, they had to admit that Yi Shuihan was a remarkable person.
"How much longer until it's over? Standing here like this is so boring." After waiting for a while without seeing the main character, Yi Shuihan said he was losing patience.
Everyone was silent, staring seriously at the small room not far away. But when Yi Shuihan spoke, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Lord Hokage, it's one thing to have an outsider from Konoha in such a solemn place, but for him to say such things on such an important occasion, I suggest he be removed." A person dressed in what appeared to be an Onmyoji jumped out and said excitedly, as if Yi Shuihan had committed some heinous crime.
Chapter 323, The Terrified Nine-Tailed Fox
"This person is a bit unfamiliar! Where did this extra come from?" Only Yi Shuihan could treat an elite Jonin as an extra.
Yagami Mitsuki was barely the head of a large clan. The reason he didn't appear in the original work was either because he was too low-key or because his clan was wiped out before the plot even started. However, given his almost comical intelligence, he probably belongs to the latter category.
You jump out without knowing anything? Didn't you see that no one else is saying anything?
The Third Hokage's expression darkened, but it wasn't directed at Yi Shuihan; rather, it was at Yagami Mitsuki. At this moment, Yagami Mitsuki was completely unaware, thinking the Third Hokage was targeting Yi Shuihan, and was looking at Yi Shuihan smugly, his provocative expression obvious even to a fool.
Even before the Hokage could speak, Danzo, who had a grudge against Yi Shuihan, couldn't help but say, "I think Yagami Mitsuki is right. He's not from Konoha at all. We can't be sure if he's a spy from an enemy village. He shouldn't have come here in the first place."
Danzo's plan was quite clever. Even if he couldn't openly harm you, he could still annoy you with a few words.
Danzo underestimated Yi Shuihan's temper. As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Shuihan began to mutter, "Hmm, I suddenly remembered that I need to add an ironclad rule: no one who is a Root member is allowed to enter."
Although it was just a muttering, everyone present could hear it clearly. Instantly, Danzo, who had been somewhat happy, froze and turned ashen-faced.
Danzo understood the value of Yi Shuihan's hot springs and had sent many people there, which was why his vitality recovered so quickly. Yi Shuihan's words cut off one of his paths to cultivating talent, which was a significant blow to him.
One sentence was enough to make Danzo regret it; only the hot springs of Yishuihan had such power.
Everyone else who knew about the amazing hot spring resort was secretly relieved that they hadn't said anything.
"What is he talking about? What hot spring resort?" Even the slow-witted Yagami Mitsuki sensed something was wrong, but he didn't understand the meaning behind it.
It's not surprising that some families who are closed off from the outside world and don't pay attention to news from the outside world don't know about hot spring resorts. After all, the daily quota makes the verification process for hot spring resorts troublesome. Those who know the benefits of hot spring resorts will queue up every day to reserve a spot, unless they really don't have the money.
Another possibility is that Yagami Mitsuki had heard about the hot spring resort, but simply ignored it because he didn't believe it. After all, it's hard to believe the wonders of a hot spring resort unless you experience them firsthand, which is one of the reasons why the hot spring resort hasn't received much attention from other countries yet.
Danzo's humiliation secretly pleased the Third Hokage, though he couldn't show it on the surface.
"Impressive." Jiraiya secretly gave Yi Shuihan a thumbs up, and he was happy to see Danzo suffer a loss.
Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly upon seeing this. He, who had originally planned to cooperate with Danzo, began to hesitate. He wondered if Danzo would curse him if he found out.
Tsunade, who was closest to Yi Shuihan, burst out laughing, which turned Danzo's face ashen.
"Alright, now is the crucial moment, everyone be careful." The Third Generation stepped in to smooth things over, but his attitude was clear from the fact that he didn't criticize Yi Shuihan at all.
Having trained to the level of an elite Jonin, Yagami Mitsuki wasn't stupid, and seeing this, he dared not continue.
