In Naruto: Drinking Makes Me Stronger

"Huh?!!!!!"

"Phew—"

"Gulp—gulp—gulp—"

The training ground instantly fell silent. At that moment, only the sound of the breeze remained.

Along with the sound of Yuu drinking heartily.

"Ha—who called me?"

Yuu let out a satisfied breath reeking of alcohol and asked somewhat blankly.

Beside him, Kurenai's delicate nose twitched slightly, fascination filling her eyes.

Rin hurriedly began explaining to Yuu what Tanaka Shuichi had said.

"W-What kind of joke is this?!"

"We... have to challenge Yuu?"

"Isn't that just sending us to our deaths?"

Beads of sweat dripped from the others' foreheads, their eyes filled with terror.

Sure enough, no one wants to die.

Tanaka Shuichi looked at the silent training ground and thought to himself.

Forget these children—even he himself would not dare fight Yuu.

Two years ago, Yuu had already been able to severely wound his colleague with a single slash.

Two years had passed since then. Who knew how strong Yuu had become by now?

Besides, in ordinary sparring matches, everyone held back.

After all, they were from the same village. Normally, no one would strike to kill.

But could you expect a drunkard to show mercy?!

If Yuu accidentally killed someone, there would be nowhere to seek justice.

"Then..."

"Wait!"

Just as Tanaka Shuichi was about to continue, an angry voice suddenly interrupted him.

"I'll challenge Yuu!"

Uchiha Obito's eyes were slightly red as he glared viciously at Yuu and shouted.

"Huh? Obito is challenging Yuu?"

"That dead last actually dares to challenge Yuu, who's even more of a genius than Kakashi?"

"Who gave this guy the courage?"

"Is he looking to die? What an idiot!"

A dead last had stepped forward at a time like this, declaring that he wanted to challenge Yuu.

By contrast, just moments ago, they had not even dared to breathe. They had kept their heads lowered, terrified of being chosen to fight Yuu.

To them, Obito's challenge was more like a slap in the face!

Mocking them for their lack of courage.

So they vented all their anger on Obito.

"Uchiha Obito?"

Tanaka Shuichi looked at the dead last of the class, his eyes flickering.

"What can dispel my sorrows? Only Du Kang!"

Yuu paid no attention to Obito's glare. As he spoke words no one in this world could understand, he continued drinking the fine wine Kurenai and Rin had brought him.

Everyone had long grown used to the incomprehensible words Yuu muttered.

Nor did they find anything strange about them.
