"Stop screaming and put your clothes on!"
Kakashi snapped as he watched Obito make such a fool of himself.
It was just a tiny wound, yet he was howling in pain. It was utterly humiliating!
Judging from the wound and his shredded clothes, Yuu had clearly only meant to teach Obito a lesson. Otherwise, Obito would already be dead.
Kakashi felt stifled, as though Yuu had played him.
"Clothes?"
Obito covered his wound and looked down.
"Ah!!!"
Obito let out a shriek, hastily covering himself with both hands.
His face flushed crimson as he ran off in a blur.
"That idiot..."
Tanaka Shuichi rubbed his forehead.
Still, he breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. Fortunately, nothing serious had happened.
At the same time, his impression of Yuu changed somewhat.
It seemed Yuu was not the sort of drunken lunatic who slashed at everyone he saw.
"Ding! After drinking, the host used swordsmanship to make an important figure lose face."
"Swordsmanship Comprehension +100!"
"Reward: Listen to the Breath of All Things (Steel Cutting Realm)!"
At the same time, the system's mechanical voice rang out in Yuu's mind.
"+100? Who did I just slash?"
Yuu's slightly drunken mind jolted, and he found it somewhat unbelievable.
"That guy seemed to say his name was Uchiha Runtu?"
Yuu carefully searched through his memories.
Could such a weakling actually be an important figure?
Still, the name did seem vaguely familiar.
After thinking for less than two seconds in his tipsy state, Yuu gave up.
"My brain hasn't been working well lately. I need to drink a few more cups and nourish it."
Yuu muttered to himself.
The ninja standing beside him with a hand on Yuu's shoulder twitched hard at the corner of his eye upon hearing that.
Drinking to nourish the brain? In all his life, this was the first time he had heard that alcohol could improve one's brain.
"But what exactly was that slash just now? Even without activating my Sharingan, I shouldn't have failed to see even a trace of his sword swing."
This ninja was Uchiha Shisui!
This mission had been personally assigned by the Third Hokage.
Thus, Uchiha Shisui and another Anbu accepted the mission.
Then, because Kakashi had strongly insisted on joining the mission—
The three of them had come together.
At this time, Shisui had already awakened his Sharingan and was a genius of the Uchiha Clan.
Although he had yet to gain the reputation of Body Flicker Shisui during the Third Great Ninja War—
He was already quite well-known in Konoha.
As a genius who had awakened the Sharingan, even without using it—
His vision was still many times sharper than that of an ordinary person.
Yet just now, Shisui had actually failed to see any trace of Yuu drawing his sword.
"For a Quick Draw Slash to be that fast... one of the greatest geniuses since the founding of Konoha Ninja Academy truly lives up to his name."
Yuu paid no attention to what Shisui was thinking beside him.
At that moment, Yuu was just about to take out some wine and drink a few mouthfuls to nourish his brain.
