In Naruto: Drinking Makes Me Stronger — Chapter 21

But the moment he moved his arms, he realized that two ninjas were still holding him.

"Why are you grabbing me? I get it—you must be spies from another village!"

Yuu looked at the two ninjas beside him in confusion.

After thinking it over for a moment, he understood.

These three guys had to be spies sent by another village!

They had come to the Ninja Academy to cause trouble!

As a ninja of Konoha, how could he stand by and do nothing?!

"Spies, die!"

Yuu shouted and exerted force with both hands.

"Wha..."

Hearing Yuu's words, the slightly dazed Shisui felt an enormous force seize him, and his body was flung into the air beyond his control.

"You spies, die! Don't worry, Teacher. Leave this to me."

Clang!

The crisp, pleasant sound of a blade leaving its sheath rang out.

Yuu gripped Shusui in his hand, swaying unsteadily as he spoke with a confident expression.

"Was that kind of strength something a Ninja Academy student should possess?"

Shisui stared at Yuu in disbelief.

Though he had been completely unprepared just now, Yuu had actually managed to fling both him and another Anbu away.

When Shisui had been Yuu's age, he definitely had not possessed such strength.

And he had been hailed as one of the Uchiha Clan's strongest geniuses.

Coupled with that terrifying sword-drawing technique...

Even calling Yuu one of the greatest geniuses since the Konoha Ninja Academy was founded seemed like an understatement.

But upon hearing what Yuu said, Shisui could not help twitching at the corner of his mouth.

This genius seemed to have some issues with his thinking!

Beside him, Tanaka Shuichi watched Yuu hold his sword with a righteous look on his face.

Hearing Yuu's impassioned words,

his mouth opened and closed, but he had no idea what to say.

What did he mean, leave it to you?!

Since when had Kakashi and the others become spies from another village?!

Tanaka Shuichi felt his thoughts becoming somewhat muddled.

"Hmm, the leader of you three spies should be this little runt, right? Then I'll start with you."

After "observing" them for a moment, Yuu locked onto Kakashi as his target.

This little runt had spoken first, so he had to be the leader!

Yuu still understood the principle of capturing the king before the bandits.

"L-Little runt...?!"

Kakashi's eye twitched violently.

Though they had not seen each other for years, Yuu's damn mouth was still just as irritating!

Remembering how badly Yuu had beaten him back in their days at the Ninja Academy,

with old and new grudges piling together, Kakashi stopped Tanaka Shuichi from going over to explain things to Yuu.

"Teacher, I remember Yuu hasn't undergone this practical test yet, right?"

Kakashi said to Tanaka Shuichi, who had been about to explain things to Yuu.

"Huh? Uh, y-yes, that's right."
