Time flowed like a river.
It quietly and slowly slipped away.
After the day Asuma was scared limp by Yuyu, Yuyu once again solidified his status as the overlord of the Ninja Academy.
However, recently, Yuyu felt that Kurenai and Rin seemed a bit too enthusiastic.
They were always bringing him different kinds of sake.
During lunch break, they competed to invite him to lunch.
Naturally, Yuyu chose...
"Yuyu, eat more. I made this bento myself."
Rin touched her pretty nose, a look of anticipation in her eyes as she handed the bento to Yuyu.
"Yuyu-kun, this bottle of sake is from my father's collection. Taste it."
Not to be outdone, Kurenai took out a very well-sealed bottle of sake and handed it to Yuyu.
"Mmm, let me taste it."
Yuyu licked his lips. He first opened the sake brought by Yuhi Kurenai and drank deeply.
"Gulp, gulp—"
"Hah! Good sake!"
After drinking heartily, Yuyu let out a long breath, a look of enjoyment in his eyes.
"Ding! Detected master's drinking has reached satisfaction level, swordsmanship comprehension +3."
As expected of the fine sake from Kurenai's father's collection.
With ordinary sake, every time the Wine God System was triggered, it could only randomly add +1 attribute point.
But this bottle added 3 points of swordsmanship comprehension all at once.
"Yuyu-kun, as long as you like it."
Seeing Yuyu prioritize drinking the sake she prepared, Kurenai smiled happily. Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at Rin, who was pouting in annoyance, and her red lips curled up slightly.
Rin was indeed annoyed seeing Yuyu drink Kurenai's fine sake first.
Actually, before this, Rin had also secretly taken quite a bit of sake from home.
However, amidst her daily diligent studies, Rin finally managed to make a delicious bento.
Plus, her family discovered that Rin had been stealing sake.
After scolding Rin severely, they hid the sake even more securely.
So Rin could only bring the bento she made.
"Damn it, I won't lose!"
Seeing Kurenai's happy expression and Yuyu's look of enjoyment while drinking, Rin clenched her small fist tightly.
Her beautiful eyes rolled, and she suddenly smiled.
"Yuyu, how can you drink without snacks? Quickly taste the bento I made."
Rin carefully opened the bento box and said with a smile.
"Mmm, makes sense."
Yuyu was drinking very contently at this moment. This bottle of sake was perhaps one of the best he had ever drunk.
Hearing Rin's words, he suddenly felt a bit regretful.
In his previous life, there was a saying: good wine goes with good food.
Without good snacks to go with it, wouldn't it be a waste of good sake?
When his gaze turned to the bento Rin brought, his eyes lit up again.
He saw that the bento box, which was clearly more than a size larger than ordinary ones, was filled with various exquisite meat dishes.
As the saying goes, how can one drink without meat?
If vegetables are paired with sake, then no matter how good the sake is, the taste will still be somewhat lacking.
Rin had put a lot of effort into understanding Yuyu's tastes.
During their previous interactions, Rin discovered that when Yuyu drank at lunch, he only ate meat.
So, the bento Rin made was entirely meat dishes.
"Mmm, delicious!"
Yuyu put a piece of fried chicken into his mouth and praised.
"Gulp, gulp—"
After speaking, another mouthful of sake went down his stomach.
"Phew—satisfying."
The combination of sake and meat made Yuyu narrow his eyes.
"Ding! Detected master's drinking has reached sublimation level, constitution +5!"
"Ding! Congratulations master, constitution has broken through the critical value, reached Elite Chunin level, chakra +15."
"Ding! Congratulations master, chakra has reached Elite Chunin level!"
At this moment, the familiar mechanical voice rang in Yuyu's mind again.
"Mmm, leveled up?"
Yuyu clenched his fist, feeling power greater than before.
"Open attribute panel."
Master: Saiki Yuyu
Age: 8
Constitution: Elite Chunin Level
Chakra: Elite Chunin Level
Swordsmanship Comprehension: Swordsman
Special: Asura Sword Intent
Comprehensive Strength: Special Jonin Level
(Note: In a drunken state, there are special bonuses.)
Unlike some novel systems Yuyu read about in his previous life.
The Wine God System seemed just like Yuyu; aside from alcohol, it wasn't very interested in other things and was somewhat lazy.
So only when breaking through a critical point would it update the panel, and it wouldn't show specific numerical values.
But Yuyu didn't care.
After all, in Yuyu's view, data was just dead numbers and couldn't represent actual combat power at all.
If you have the ability, let's have a slash-out and then talk.
Don't look at his current comprehensive strength being Special Jonin level—that's just dead data on the panel.
When Kakashi challenged him back then, he had barely reached Chunin level.
But after drinking, didn't he still cut Kakashi down with one slash?
As for that special Asura Sword Intent.
It was the reward given after he cut down that teacher who dared to smash his bottle, shocking the Ninja Academy.
It was a terrifying sword intent produced after the fusion of Kendo and aura.
What he used on Asuma before was the Asura Sword Intent.
It plunges the enemy into the sword intent, as if facing a terrifying Asura.
Without tenacious will, one can only be slaughtered.
After a simple glance, Yuyu stopped caring about the panel.
After all, with such good meat and sake in front of him, why think so much?
Enjoying the present is the most important thing.
"Hmph."
Seeing Rin smiling happily again, Kurenai snorted lightly, her beautiful eyes rolling.
Her little head was carefully thinking about where else her old dad might have hidden good sake.
As for her old dad being heartbroken over the frequent disappearance of his fine sake...
Kurenai couldn't care less about that right now.
