"Alright class, the Three Basic Jutsu are..."
Gulp— Gulp— Gulp— Ahh!
Sunlight streamed into the Konoha Ninja Academy classroom.
Shūichi Tanaka, the Chūnin instructor responsible for teaching the elite class, was writing on the blackboard.
Hearing the distinct gulping sounds behind him, his cheek twitched uncontrollably.
I know I might get cut down for this, but as a teacher, I just can't stand it anymore!
A vein throbbed on Mr. Tanaka's forehead as he spun around, roaring—
"Jin!!! No drinking during class!"
The entire classroom fell silent instantly. All eyes focused on the figure downing a bottle of booze.
"Is... is the teacher crazy?? Did he seriously just scold Jin?"
"Did he forget what happened to our last teacher? Doesn't he still have check-ups at the hospital now and then?"
"It's over. The teacher's gonna get cut down, isn't he?"
<><><><><><><><>
Cold sweat broke out on many students in the class. They looked fearfully at the figure—the undisputed king of this classroom.
"Gulp— Gulp— Gulp— Hah? Whaddya say?"
Jin was already a bit tipsy. He let out a drunken hiccup, his eyes slightly hazy.
"Er, I mean, could you please not drink? You're still young, after all. Drinking isn't good for your health."
Mr. Tanaka shuddered as Jin's gaze fell upon him.
Impulsive! I was too impulsive!!! Why can't I ever fix this impulsive habit?
This kid, Jin, was an out-and-out little drunkard!
He'd heard Jin had been clutching a wine bottle since he was two and hadn't stopped since.
And most importantly—this kid's strength was terrifying!!!
Putting aside his drinking problem, Jin was undeniably a super genius!
Even the renowned prodigy Kakashi Hatake, who had already graduated early, was no match for this kid.
Mr. Tanaka still remembered Jin's words during introductions when he first took over the class.
"My name is Jin. My hobbies are drinking and... cutting people down."
Jin had slurred slightly, already tipsy even then.
The crucial point was—Mr. Tanaka wasn't originally supposed to teach the elite class.
The previous teacher was currently on extended medical leave, needing periodic hospital check-ups.
It wasn't just physical injuries; there were significant psychological issues too.
The reason? That teacher had once knocked Jin's bottle over. And then—he got cut down by Jin!
One slash—just a single slash!
That teacher, an Elite Chūnin, was severely wounded.
More painful than the physical wounds was the unacceptable fact that he, an Elite Chūnin instructor, had been gravely injured by his own student with a single cut!
And back then, Jin had only just turned six.
Now, Jin was already eight years old. Who knew how strong the kid was now?!
If Jin lost control and accidentally cut him down for real, there'd be nowhere to even complain!
"Stop drinking??"
Jin grinned, bringing the bottle back to his lips.
Gulp— Gulp— Gulp—
["Ding! Detected Host drinking to a state of Pleasure. Swordsmanship Insight +1."]
["Ding! Detected Host drinking to a state of Haze. Chakra +1."]
["Ding! Detected Host drinking to a state of Excitement. Constitution +1."]
<><><><><><><><>
Yes, Jin was a transmigrator, bound to a system called the Dionysus System.
As long as he drank, he got stronger!!!
However, what Jin found a bit strange was that besides increasing basic stats like Chakra and Constitution, all other points gained from drinking were channeled into Swordsmanship Insight.
Not that it was a bad thing—cutting people down felt incredibly satisfying.
Just like Jin had said in his introduction—his hobbies were drinking and cutting people down!
Gulp— Gulp— Gulp—
Jin drank deeply, and the bottle was quickly emptied.
"Huh? Is it gone?"
Jin widened his eyes, trying to peer into the bottle to see if any liquor remained.
But his hand didn't seem to obey him, wobbling so much he couldn't get the bottle in front of his eyes.
"Damn it, hold still."
Jin mumbled, using his left hand to forcibly grip his right hand holding the bottle, trying to bring it into view.
"Ugh..."
Mr. Tanaka's face darkened. From his perspective, it was clearly Jin himself wobbling all over the place, making it impossible to see inside the bottle.
"Um, Jin... I have a bottle of wine here."
A cute girl with wavy dark hair and red eyes quietly tugged at Jin's sleeve.
Her pretty face flushed slightly as she sneakily took out a bottle and handed it to Jin.
Seeing the alcohol, Jin's hazy eyes instantly lit up, and he snatched it.
"Hm? Well now, aren't you a cute one? Care to join me for a drink?"
Jin turned his head, grinned at Kurenai Yūhi, and with a surprised yelp from her, pulled her close beside him.
"Ji-Jin..."
Kurenai's beautiful eyes were filled with shyness. Looking at Jin's handsome face, her own face turned crimson.
She took a deep breath, catching Jin's scent, a look of fascination in her red eyes.
"Jin!!! Drinking in class is one thing, but hitting on female classmates too?! I can't take this anymore!"
Not far away, a young boy who looked a bit older than his age saw this scene, slammed his desk, and shot to his feet, shouting furiously.
It was none other than the son of the Third Hokage, Asuma Sarutobi.
"Huh? Who the hell are you? Don't interrupt me drinking with this young lady. Careful, or I'll cut you down."
Meeting Asuma's furious glare, Jin narrowed his eyes, his right hand gently brushing Kurenai's cheek.
"Bastard!"
Asuma couldn't hold back any longer. Clenching his fists, he charged toward Jin.
