In Naruto: Drinking Makes Me Stronger

But he was still his teacher, after all.

And ever since Tanaka Shuichi had arrived, his days had indeed been much more comfortable.

Unlike the guy he had chopped down before.

Tanaka Shuichi didn't nag much.

Nor did he care much about Yuu drinking.

Yuu ought to return the favor, shouldn't he?

Since Teacher had a request, of course he had to fulfill it.

"Hey, you bastard! You actually dared make Teacher unhappy? Get over here so this good student can teach you a lesson on Teacher's behalf."

Yuu lifted his slightly drunk face and spoke with a righteous expression.

"Fuck?! When did I say to hit him harder?!!!"

Tanaka Shuichi, standing to the side, was utterly dumbfounded.

"Did Teacher tell Yuu to hit harder?"

"I think he told Yuu to go easier on him. I didn't hear clearly either."

"Teacher is too much. Even if Obito is the dead last, telling Yuu to hit harder is going too far. Yuu will kill him."

The students' chatter reached Tanaka Shuichi's ears, and he felt like crying without tears.

He had been afraid Yuu would go on a drunken rampage, so he had lacked confidence when giving his instructions.

His voice had indeed been a little too quiet.

But who would have thought that Yuu would hear it as him telling him to hit harder?

At that moment, Tanaka Shuichi wanted nothing more than to slap himself hard across the face.

Serves you right for talking nonsense. Look what happened now?!

If something really happened to Obito, wouldn't he be in serious trouble too?

Obito, on the other side, was furious as well.

Looking at Yuu's righteous expression, as if he were about to uphold justice for heaven, Obito felt rage surge up inside him.

You call yourself a good student?!

Though he really was the dead last.

At the very least, he strictly followed the three ninja prohibitions.

You had been clutching a wine bottle every day since enrolling, and you had even chopped down a teacher before.

And you still called yourself a good student? You even wanted to teach him a lesson for Teacher's sake?!

Then he remembered how close Yuu had been with Rin these past few days. In that instant, the rage Obito had accumulated completely drowned his reason.

"Bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"

Obito pulled out a kunai and gripped it tightly, his eyes red. He kicked off the ground hard and drove the kunai viciously toward Yuu.

"Hmm?"

Watching Obito charge at him, Yuu gripped Shusui, the blade on his back that seemed somewhat ill-suited to his build.

"W-We're done for! That idiot Obito actually dared use a kunai against Yuu."

"Kakashi got beaten that badly back then just because he swung a blade at Yuu."

The surrounding students' eyes nearly popped out of their heads at Obito's actions.

Since Yuu had enrolled, Obito was the second person to draw a weapon against him.

The first had been Kakashi, the super genius who had already graduated.

But even Kakashi, who had inherited the swordsmanship of the Konoha White Fang, had been beaten miserably for provoking Yuu.

And Obito? He was merely the dead last in this class.

Even Kakashi had been beaten so badly. Wasn't Obito going to be killed?!

Tanaka Shuichi, watching the fight, also sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly sent signals all around him.
