In Naruto: Drinking Makes Me Stronger

Clang!

"Hahaha, I knew it! Kakashi, how could you possibly be a spy?"

Yuu sheathed Shusui, pulled Kakashi to his feet, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled approvingly.

His face was practically screaming that he absolutely believed him.

"I..."

Kakashi completely did not want to deal with Yuu anymore!

Are you deaf or something?!

Watching Yuu's performance from the side, Shisui's mouth twitched.

That was way too slick, wasn't it?

Kakashi awkwardly brushed the dirt off himself. Noticing the strange looks around him, he was overwhelmed with shame and indignation.

Whoosh!

Ignoring Yuu, he flickered away and leaped into the distance.

"Hey, you bastard! You still haven't given me the booze you promised!"

Seeing Kakashi run off, Yuu immediately panicked. That bastard still owed him several bottles of alcohol.

Kakashi's steps faltered, and he nearly plunged headfirst from the air.

When had he ever said he would give Yuu alcohol?!

So he had nearly been cut down as a spy by this bastard.

And he was still supposed to bring him several bottles of booze?!!!

Chakra surged beneath the humiliated Kakashi's feet. He turned into an afterimage and vanished into the distance.

"Why are you two holding me back? That bastard! Is he trying to dodge his debt? Next time I see him, I'll definitely cut him down."

Yuu had wanted to chase after him, but Kurenai and Rin were pulling on his arms from either side, leaving him no choice but to grumble unhappily.

"Yuu-kun, don't be angry. I'll bring you two bottles of good alcohol tomorrow."

Kurenai comforted him softly.

"Yeah, Yuu. I've already found where my family keeps their liquor. I'll bring some for you tomorrow."

Rin said with a smile as well.

Only then did Yuu put aside the matter of Kakashi dodging his debt.

"D-Did you see that? Yuu defeated Kakashi in one move."

"H-He's so strong! Kakashi became a Chunin a long time ago."

"And that blackish-purple light that cut through that huge tree... what exactly was that?!"

"If that hit a person..."

As the classmates discussed it, they shuddered.

Such a thick tree had been cut cleanly in half by Yuu from so far away.

If Yuu used that to cut someone, wouldn't they be dead beyond doubt?!

Asuma listened to his classmates' discussion.

The fighting spirit he had only just mustered, thanks to his father Hiruzen Sarutobi's encouragement and the "courage" of even a dead-last like Obito daring to challenge Yuu, was extinguished once more.

Whoever wanted to challenge Yuu could go ahead! He did not want to be cut in half!

"Teacher, then we'll report back to Lord Hokage."

Shisui came before Tanaka Shuichi and spoke.

"Ah... ah! You've worked hard. Thank you so much."
