"Ding ling ling."
"Hello, this is the Four-Tails Hot Pot main branch store." A red-haired man with a thick, bushy beard took out his phone and shouted, "I am the main branch manager, Roshi."
"Boss Roshi, I am the manager of branch store number three."
A voice immediately came from the other end of the phone...
"Um... The Four-Tails... he skipped work today."
"What?" Roshi was stunned after hearing this, his eyes widened, and he said in a disbelieving tone, "What did you say?"
How could he just skip work?
Has that kid Four-Tails gotten so bold that he does not want his salary anymore?
"Do you know where he went?"
"Ah, this..." The branch three manager hesitated for a moment, then said, "Boss, you will know if you turn on the TV."
He had also just found out that the Four-Tails had sneaked into a little girl's backpack and slipped out.
"Okay, I understand." Roshi nodded, saying with a serious expression, "I will handle it later."
He hung up the phone and sighed...
"Has the will entity at branch three gotten tired from the heavy workload recently?"
So that is it...
He might have somewhat neglected the Four-Tails' feelings.
He thought for a moment, then shouted inwardly, "Do you know about this? Four-Tails?"
"Eh..." The Four-Tails, Son Goku, thought for a moment and said, "Paying one salary but making someone do the work of seventeen people, and not even paying on time. It is already good that he has not resigned."
Fortunately, the salary is collected by him, the main body, otherwise...
If all seventeen will entities went on strike, do you have any idea.
"So..."
"Raise the salary?"
"You are still young, you do not need that much money." Roshi said without hesitation, "The hot pot shop needs a lot of funds for expansion recently."
And this time, it is already good that I am not deducting your salary for skipping work without reason.
"So, enduring a bit of hardship and tiredness during this period is all for a better life in the future."
"..."
Damn it, all I want is to eat some fruit candy, where is this better life you speak of?
And...
I do not even know how old I am myself.
The Four-Tails sighed helplessly inwardly and said with displeasure, "Do as you please."
This miser...
Better not to expect anything from him.
Following Roshi's line of sight, he looked at the turned-on television...
"I am the owner of the Four-Tails Hot Pot shop, I believe everyone recognizes me now." The small Four-Tails said to the camera with a serious expression. "Although the Four-Tails Hot Pot shop, under the leadership of that grumpy, stingy old man, has seen its business get better and better, the vast majority of the credit belongs to me, the pillar of the Four-Tails Hot Pot shop. If not for my diligent and complaint-free service, I believe the Four-Tails Hot Pot shop would have gone out of business long ago."
The Four-Tails Hot Pot shop became popular precisely because of its quality service, serious attitude, and consistent ingredients. And all of this...
Is entirely the merit of him, the Four-Tails. Otherwise, why would it be called the Four-Tails Hot Pot shop?
"So, when you see that bad-tempered old man, please do not get angry. Just directly call XXXX, the Uzushiogakure Labor Bureau, to report him for employee abuse."
"Click."
Roshi directly turned off the TV, his face covered in black lines, looking grim. He said flatly to the Four-Tails inside him, "For skipping work, your salary for this month is gone."
That bastard...
What kind of nonsense is he saying.
"Hey, hey, that is so unjust." The Four-Tails immediately became dissatisfied. "That was just something a small part of me said. What does it have to do with my main body?"
Damn it, you only pay one salary, and you will not even let others complain.
"That is your will entity." Roshi curled his lip disdainfully. "You are in this together."
Do not think I do not know...
What he thinks is what you think.
"But..." The Four-Tails said with a dark face, "You only pay one salary. Do not believe I will not make all the will entities stop working."
Damn it...
I, the Four-Tails, have a temper too.
"Then your daily 'employee meals' are also gone." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Roshi's mouth. "It just so happens I can save some money."
Although it is only one salary, but...
Room and board included, do you understand?
My Four-Tails Hot Pot shop might have treated you, one employee, poorly, but the benefits for other employees are excellent.
"..."
Hearing Roshi's inner thoughts, the Four-Tails was immediately speechless.
Damn it, how dare you even say that.
But thinking of his only pleasure... fruit candy, he could only sigh helplessly, grit his teeth, and say, "Do not worry, I will beat him up when he comes back."
He felt a wave of sorrow inwardly...
He, the Four-Tails...
How has he fallen to such a state, actually having to beat up himself.
...
"Four-Tails..." A man entirely encased in red armor stared blankly at the small Four-Tails on the TV, muttering, "So Roshi went to the Land of Whirlpools."
A bitter smile appeared on his lips, and he sighed...
Ever since Roshi defected, he had been ostracized by the Third Tsuchikage. He was not even assigned missions, causing him to gradually fade out of the ninja circles of Iwagakure.
Even his former friends began to distrust him and slowly avoided him.
"I did not expect the Four-Tails' will entity to have leaked out. I wonder what happened to Roshi."
And just now, it seemed to mention the Four-Tails Hot Pot shop and Roshi...
What exactly is going on.
Han placed his hands behind his head and lay down, looking at the somewhat shabby ceiling...
"Should I..."
His face showed a trace of hesitation...
"Also go to the Land of Whirlpools to take a look."
Ever since the Nine-Tails incident in Konoha, the living conditions for them, the jinchuriki, had gotten worse and worse.
When walking on the street, people always looked at him with strange eyes...
Coupled with the Tsuchikage's rejection...
Now, even within Iwagakure, people were starting to dislike and fear him.
"In that case, why should I stay in this hidden village any longer."
Han slowly closed his eyes, his face showing a trace of weariness...
"Having protected the village for so long, I never thought I would end up being disliked by the very people I protected. I might as well go see how Roshi is doing now."
He actually even let the Four-Tails' will entities out. And judging by the scenes on TV...
It seems the Land of Whirlpools is not afraid of that Four-Tails or the Three-Tails...
He was very curious inside. What kind of country is this one that has repeatedly defeated the Five Great Shinobi Countries.
"I am already a bit tired."
...
At the same time, elsewhere...
"The Land of Whirlpools." A young man with long black hair and a faint trace of sadness in his eyes, holding a bubble pipe in his right hand, murmured, "A place where no one fears the Tailed Beasts."
He slowly raised his right hand and blew a small bubble...
"Does such a country truly exist in the shinobi world."
Then, he stretched and stood up...
"Anyway, I cannot stay in the Land of Water anymore. I will go to the Land of Whirlpools to take a look."
The Land of Water, having lost the Three-Tails...
Has gone completely mad.
Especially since the Fifth Mizukage has not been selected, everyone has started to fear him, the Six-Tails jinchuriki...
A self-mocking smile appeared on Utakata's lips...
"I never thought even my most respected teacher would end up fearing me."
Then, he flipped over and jumped down...
"Whoa, damn, why is there a hole here?"
