In Naruto: Drinking Makes Me Stronger

"I'm not drinking anymore either, Yuu. Let's hurry to the training grounds."

Rin chuckled softly.

And so, Kurenai and Rin joked around with Yuu as they supported him toward the training grounds.

"B-Bastard!"

Obito and Asuma, standing nearby, were practically bug-eyed.

Kurenai and Rin were their goddesses!

As they helped Yuu along, they had clearly seen that the bastard had taken plenty of chances to get close to Kurenai and Rin.

Asuma clenched his fists tightly, then let them fall weakly.

He still couldn't shake his fear of Yuu.

Obito, however, was different. His eyes had turned a little red, as though he wanted to tear someone apart alive.

He clenched his fists and headed toward the training grounds.

Konoha Ninja Academy, training grounds.

Tanaka Shuichi's class was orderly pairing up for their tests.

To everyone's surprise—and relief—Yuu wasn't taking a practical combat test against anyone.

That let them breathe a sigh of relief.

None of them had the nerve to take a practical combat test against Yuu.

What if Yuu got drunk and cut them down?

Even Kakashi Hatake, one of the greatest geniuses since the founding of the Konoha Ninja Academy and inheritor of the Konoha White Fang's swordsmanship, had been seriously injured by Yuu.

Earlier, Yuu had nearly cut down Sarutobi Asuma, the Third Hokage's son.

Let alone minor figures like them.

In their eyes, Yuu was practically a great demon king.

Fortunately, this test didn't require them to fight Yuu.

After the orderly grouping, the tests proceeded quickly.

Before long, the practical combat test came to an end amid the orderly proceedings.

"Clap—clap—"

While everyone excitedly discussed the practical combat test they had just taken,

Tanaka Shuichi clapped his hands, drawing their attention.

"Alright, the first round of testing is over. Next, we'll begin the second round of practical combat testing."

Tanaka Shuichi took out a new scoring sheet and announced loudly.

"Huh? There's a second round?"

"How can that be? My brother graduated long ago, and I've never heard of a second round of testing."

As soon as Tanaka Shuichi finished speaking, the classroom erupted.

A sense of foreboding rose in their hearts.

"The second round will be a ring battle."

Tanaka Shuichi quickly silenced the discussion and began announcing the next test.

"A ring battle, as the name suggests, means one person defends the ring while everyone else challenges them.

"And this time, there will be only one defender."

Tanaka Shuichi looked at the list in his hand, the corner of his eye twitching slightly.

"Yuu will be the ring defender for this test!" Tanaka Shuichi announced loudly.
