"Little Yuu, you like it? That's wonderful! Little Jiraiya and Little Minato don't know how to appreciate it at all. It makes me so mad! Don't be polite, eat more."
Shima was delighted at his words and said warmly. As she spoke, she served Yuu a bowl of rich insect soup, its overwhelming bug scent filling the air. Smelling the insect odor throughout the room, Yuu's mouth twitched. He silently took out a bottle of Monkey's Wine. "What a fine thing. Sadly, I'm unable to enjoy it."
Yuu downed more than half the bottle of Monkey's Wine in one go. Only after the aroma of alcohol filled his mouth and throat did he feel a little better. He sighed and said, "What? What's wrong, Little Yuu?"
Shima looked at the dejected Yuu and asked in confusion. Fukasaku, who was eating with great relish nearby, also looked over curiously.
They were both extremely curious about this man, the most terrifying genius in the Shinobi World since the era of the Sage of Six Paths.
"You two Sages may not know this, but I was born with a condition—I can only drink alcohol and can't eat food."
Yuu spouted nonsense, yet made it sound utterly convincing. Fukasaku and Shima were left dumbfounded, while Jiraiya and Minato's mouths nearly twisted crooked.
Yuu's gift for talking was publicly acknowledged as the best in the Shinobi World!
Even when Old man tried to play tricks, he had to concede defeat before Yuu. Sometimes, even Old man would be fooled by Yuu. Fooling two toads—even if they weren't ordinary toads—wasn't that easy? Just look at Sage Fukasaku and Shima Sage. Shima Sage had even shed tears of sympathy.
Sympathy, my ass!!!
Yuu's lifestyle was so luxurious that even the daimyō of the entire world would weep
