After the brawl, each of the drunks paid for it with a broken leg, not to mention countless minor injuries.
The one Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura had dealt with was in especially bad shape.
He'd lost six teeth and broken eight ribs. On top of his broken leg, one of his arms was snapped too...
For some reason, at that moment, the Konoha 11 suddenly felt closer to one another.
Especially because they'd stood up for each other like brothers!
They were brimming with youthful passion, ready to take on the world!
Every one of them was a little excited. After all, they'd never gotten into a proper fight before.
The most they'd ever done was spar during Ninja Academy training. This time, they'd finally had a chance to really let loose!
Uzumaki Naruto had been the only one who hadn't joined in. Seeing the drunks in such a pitiful state, he'd felt a little sorry for them.
For a moment, his tenderhearted side had even made him want to talk his good friends into stopping...
But his feelings had overcome his soft heart.
His friends had stood up for him!
They were helping him teach the people who'd bullied him a lesson!
He knew beating them this badly was wrong... but he was so touched!!!
Meanwhile, Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee, and Tenten were practically dumbstruck. The three of them stood there with their mouths hanging open!
They stared at the Ninja Academy students, who looked like a gang of thugs.
They'd all known one another well since their days at the Academy, but they'd never imagined these people could be so ruthless!!!
Weren't you lot more like real ninjas than us?
We may have graduated, but our missions were all about finding cats, walking dogs, or pulling weeds.
Meanwhile, you students from the Ninja Academy really knew how to hit hard!!!
Watching the Konoha 11, their faces flushed with excitement, Ito Hirofumi's lips curled into a faint smile!
Wasn't this exactly the effect he'd wanted?
First, he'd unite the Konoha 11 as tightly as possible. Then, he'd be able to accomplish great things in the future!!!
"So? Did that feel good?!"
Ito Hirofumi looked down at the miserable drunks on the ground as if they were nothing but trash...
This was the first time Uchiha Sasuke had experienced anything like this, and he found it thrilling.
Especially that blood-pumping feeling!
For some reason, Sasuke suddenly remembered a song Ito Hirofumi had sung before...
"I'll charge wherever I please, commanding the winds and clouds, gazed up at by the masses~~~"
That was right!!! He was the Turbulent World Superstar!!!
At the thought, Uchiha Sasuke shoved his hands into his pockets, raised his chin slightly, and gazed up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. He was the very picture of an arrogant Uchiha!
"They were just a bunch of worthless trash! Trash gets dealt with like trash. Since they dared to lay a hand on my friends, they should've been ready to face the wrath of the Uchiha!!!"
After saying this, Uchiha Sasuke turned his head slightly and stole a glance at Uzumaki Naruto.
Uzumaki Naruto didn't notice Sasuke secretly watching him. He leaped right over to Sasuke...
"Stuck-up Sasuke's showing off again!!! But since you put it that way, I'll reluctantly admit you're my friend! Hehehe..."
Hyuga Neji and the others were much calmer. Neji, in particular, stared at Ito Hirofumi with an expressionless face.
"This has gotten pretty serious, and caused quite a commotion. Even though you're Ninja Academy students, this may not be easy to resolve!
What are you planning to do now?!"
At that, Ito Hirofumi smiled slyly. Hyuga Neji might have a frosty expression, but he was clearly worried about him...
That was only natural. After all, he'd spent years winning Neji over at the Academy. Neji had never had many friends, even as a child. Aside from Tenten and Rock Lee, Ito was one of the few friends he had.
"Tch... There's nothing to worry about! Have you even looked at the names of the people here?!"
Hyuga Neji was startled at first, but then he understood...
Right, what was there to worry about? They'd only taught a few drunks a lesson, and those drunks had started it!
Just look at the people who'd thrown the punches. Aside from Haruno Sakura, who came from a civilian family, Ito Hirofumi's clan was the smallest of them all...
So it seemed there really wasn't much to worry about.
"Let's not worry about that for now! They're just a few drunks. There's nothing to fear." Ito Hirofumi waved a hand.
"We're heading to Sasuke's place for dinner. You three were going to eat too, right? Want to come with us? You don't have any missions right now, and we all know each other. Let's get together!"
Tenten and Rock Lee were both tempted by Ito Hirofumi's invitation, but Hyuga Neji didn't answer right away.
Hyuga Hinata came over just then...
She was back to her usual shy and timid self.
"Brother... come on. It'll be livelier if we're all together, won't it? Can we go... brother..."
Looking at his adorable little sister, Hyuga Neji could hardly believe that his sweet, shy, and timid sister had just been so fierce!
Seeing the hopeful look in Hyuga Hinata's eyes, Hyuga Neji nodded.
"Mm... Let's go together, then..."
"That's great, brother!!!"
"Yeah!!! Dinner time!!!" Akimichi Choji had been getting hungry for a while.
But at that moment, Nara Shikamaru stood with his hands in his pockets, gazing into the distance.
"Trouble's coming..."
Uzumaki Naruto was the only one too slow on the uptake to understand what Nara Shikamaru meant.
"What trouble, Shikamaru?! Come on, let's go eat!!!"
But everyone except Uzumaki Naruto turned to look into the distance...
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!!
Several ninjas dressed in Anbu uniforms appeared in front of the Konoha 11.
"As ninjas, you attacked civilians without cause. Come with us and cooperate with our investigation!!!"
Looking at the white-haired ninja wearing a mask at the front, especially his familiar spiky hair, Ito Hirofumi froze for a moment. Could that guy be Kakashi?!
"Heh... The ninja may have made a mistake. We're not ninjas, just students from the Ninja Academy!
Those three are ninjas, but they didn't lay a hand on anyone!!!"
Kakashi, still wearing his mask, paused at that. He'd seen those three kids before; they seemed to be Guy's students. But they really hadn't joined in...
Ninja Academy students didn't count as ninjas, so even if they'd attacked civilians, it wouldn't count as breaking the rule against ninjas harming civilians.
This was a bit of a tough one to handle...
