"To become an outstanding ninja..."
"Glug—glug—glug—"
Konoha, inside the Ninja Academy.
Tanaka Shuichi held the textbook, teaching attentively.
But unlike other classes, accompanying Tanaka Shuichi's lecture, there was a swallowing sound that seemed exceptionally distinct.
"Ahem, ahem."
As the lesson came to a pause, Tanaka Shuichi glanced cautiously at Yuyu out of the corner of his eye.
When he found that Yuyu was only slightly tipsy and showed no signs of a drunken rampage, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he didn't know how many times he had reported to the school administration, asking to switch to guiding another class.
After all, who knew when Yuyu might drink too much and go on a rampage?
If he accidentally got cut down, there really would be nowhere to cry about it.
For the first time, Tanaka Shuichi felt that being a Ninja Academy teacher was a high-risk profession.
The danger came from a student!
"Today's afternoon lessons are all finished. Next, we will conduct a practical combat test."
Tanaka Shuichi took out the day's schedule and said.
"Eh? Testing again?"
"Aren't there a bit too many tests recently?"
"Practical combat test, this seems to be the first time?"
...
As soon as Tanaka Shuichi's words fell, discussions erupted immediately.
Compared to the past, there really had been too many tests recently.
Just the theory tests alone had happened four times in a month.
Shuriken and Three Basic Techniques tests had also been conducted multiple times.
But for a practical combat test, this was indeed the first time.
There had been sparring before, but that was practice.
A test meant grading.
Every test result would affect whether one could graduate smoothly from the Ninja Academy and become a true Genin.
"Alright, everyone gather at the playground, and um..."
Tanaka Shuichi clapped his hands and spoke loudly.
Towards the end, he suddenly became cautious.
"Kurenai, Rin, could you two please bring Yuyu to the playground?"
Tanaka Shuichi looked at Yuyu, who wasn't listening to the class at all, and spoke carefully to Kurenai and Rin.
He was helpless too; he didn't dare to discipline Yuyu.
But the test had to be conducted. Although in previous tests—whether it was shuriken, Three Basic Techniques, or written exams—
Yuyu scored zero on all of them.
Could you imagine a little alcoholic throwing shuriken there? Or doing a test paper?
Back when Yuyu took the shuriken test, the whole class hid a hundred meters away.
They were deeply afraid that the swaying Yuyu would accidentally kill them with a shuriken.
But as the teacher, Tanaka Shuichi had no way to hide.
After all, as a teacher, he needed to stand near the target to observe the students' throwing techniques and speed to give guidance.
Shuriken thrown with the strength of ordinary students posed no lethal threat to a Chunin like him.
But this guy Yuyu was different.
The speed and power of the shuriken he threw were above his own.
If graded by lethality, Tanaka Shuichi would definitely give Yuyu an "Excellent"!
But damn it, that shuriken came flying at him!
He didn't even have time to react before the shuriken shaved off a layer of his hair!
Don't even mention the written exam.
Yuyu couldn't even hold the pen steady; he spent the whole class wrestling with that pen.
But when Yuyu held a sword, that was rock steady!
So Tanaka Shuichi could only rely on Kurenai and Rin, who had a relatively good relationship with Yuyu in the class.
"Okay, no problem!"
"Yes! Sensei!"
Kurenai and Rin nodded their little heads, exchanged a competitive glance, and each took one of Yuyu's arms, one on the left and one on the right.
"Mmm, what's wrong?... Want to drink with me?"
Yuyu looked at Kurenai and Rin and mumbled.
"Alright, alright, since it's you two. I wouldn't give it to anyone else to drink."
As Yuyu spoke, he brought the bottle towards Kurenai's mouth.
"Yu, Yuyu-kun, you drink it."
Kurenai dodged somewhat flusteredly.
Although she loved the smell of alcohol very much, the Three Prohibitions for Ninjas had to be observed.
If she drank alcohol and her parents smelled it when she got home, she would be dead meat.
Being scolded was a small matter.
But then her father would definitely guess that she stole those wines. If he hid them even more secretly, how could she steal wine for Yuyu-kun?
"And you? Want to drink?"
Yuyu didn't force it. Although his brain was a bit fuzzy, Yuyu knew that Kurenai and Rin were the people who often brought him wine.
If anyone else dared to be such a killjoy, Shusui in his hand would definitely have intimate contact with them.
"I won't drink either. Yuyu, let's hurry to the playground."
Rin chuckled softly.
...
Just like that, Kurenai and Rin playfully supported Yuyu as they headed to the playground.
"Ba-Bastard!"
On the side, Obito and Asuma watched until their eyes almost popped out.
Kurenai and Rin were goddesses!
While supporting Yuyu, they could clearly see that this bastard Yuyu had quite a bit of intimate contact with Kurenai and Rin.
Asuma clenched his fist fiercely, then released it somewhat weakly.
He couldn't shake off his fear of Yuyu.
Obito was different; his eyes were turning red.
As if he wanted to tear someone apart alive.
Clenching his fists, he walked towards the playground.
