Chapter 106, The Fifth Duel: Drunken Fist Little Lee
"Big brother, big brother, you're here! We've already ordered the food and are just waiting for you, the star of the show!" At six o'clock in the afternoon, Ishikawa, who had just washed up and changed his clothes, arrived at the agreed location and saw Taro rushing forward to greet him.
Naturally, his inseparable younger brother Jiro was by his side.
"Uh, I'm not the main character. Is everyone here?" Ishikawa replied with a strange, unsettling smile, then stepped into the barbecue restaurant.
"We've been waiting for you! This way, big brother." Jiro, who had recovered completely after treatment, hurriedly greeted him and led Ishikawa to a private room with a smile.
As soon as Ishikawa entered the private room, he saw the four members of Guy's team sitting in a neat row. Opposite them, Kakashi and Guy sat facing each other, sparks flying.
"What's going on with the teachers?" Ishikawa turned his head, puzzled, looking at Kakashi and Guy who were sitting silently facing each other.
Tarojiro also looked completely bewildered, as if he knew nothing. They arrived and went outside to wait for their older brother, Ishikawa, even though everything was fine just a moment ago!
"Never mind them. Because of your promotion to Chunin, Guy-sensei has to have his 50th duel with Kakashi-sensei. Whoever loses treats!" Neji explained simply, leaving Ishikawa and the other two speechless.
How did a meal turn into a duel?
"So, what's the content of the duel?" Jiro asked with a little worry, seeing the two teachers' solemn expressions and poised posture.
"Oh ho~ The barbecue duel begins now, let's unleash the passion of youth! Teacher Kai..."
Just as Tian Tian was about to reply, Xiao Li suddenly stood up, his expression agitated, his eyes blazing with anger, waving his hand and shouting.
The next instant, before Ishikawa and the others could react, Kakashi and Guy activated their attacks simultaneously.
With swift hands, they placed the plates of roasted meat onto the grill, quickly flipped them a few times, and devoured them with almost blurry speed, not even knowing if they were cooked!
At that speed, even Ishikawa, who was closest, didn't see how Kakashi took off his mask and put the grilled meat into his mouth.
"Hahahahaha..."
"Glug glug..."
Before Ishikawa could even start eating, the others were already wolfing down five plates of grilled meat each.
"What are you standing there for? Grab some food! If you're too late, there won't be any left..." Turning to look at the stunned Neji and the others, Ishikawa roared and instantly joined the barbecue army.
Neji and the others reacted quickly, burying their heads in their food and placing grilled meat on the grill in front of them.
Goodness, what should have been a pleasant get-together was turned into a chaotic battle by these two teachers, with everyone vying for the food...
"Chop down three, one-man jutsu, huh?" (Kakashi, have you given up yet?)
"Human arts? Look at that!" (Admit defeat? Impossible!)
In less than ten minutes, Kai and Kakashi, who looked as full as if they were pregnant, looked at each other, their mouths still full of grilled meat and their words were indistinct.
That comical yet stubbornly defiant look left Ishikawa Neji and the others speechless!
"Burp! Is this a drink or something? It's so hard to swallow, never mind..." Just then, Xiao Li, who was following in his mentor's footsteps and enjoying his meal, burped, his face turned red, and he reached for a bottle on the shelf next to him.
"What is that? Oh no!!" Upon seeing the word "alcohol" on the bottle, Ishikawa's expression changed, and he reached out to stop him as if he had just realized something.
Even though they were separated by a table or diagonally opposite each other, Xiao Li was faster and directly opened the bottle and chugged down his fill of alcohol!
"Uh, what a strange taste?" After downing half a bottle of wine, Xiao Li burped, his eyes glazed over as he shook the bottle repeatedly.
This made Ishikawa stand up immediately and hurriedly pull Xiao Li to leave.
"It's just a little drink, right? Even though you can't drink alcohol if you're underage, it should be okay to have a little now and then!" Neji didn't take it seriously and had no idea what was going to happen next.
[A little bit? Li can demolish a house with just a small glass of wine, and he can't fly to the sky after half a bottle??] Seeing this, Ishikawa immediately understood that they hadn't seen Li when he was drunk. He made a sarcastic remark and dragged Li away.
But how quickly did Xiao Li get drunk after just half a bottle of wine? In the short time it took to say just one sentence, his whole body turned red like a shrimp!
"Little Lee, you..." Neji had just opened his mouth to ask when he saw that things were not going well, but Little Lee's body fell to the ground like mud, and then he kicked out and overturned the dining table.
Then, with another somersault, he threw a punch at the nearest Ishikawa...
"Take him out of here! This guy's drunk and acting crazy!" Ishikawa shouted as he used his hands to defend himself and took a few steps back.
He had exhausted himself practicing Chidori, so he was not fit to fight at this moment.
"Gentle Fist..." No sooner had Ishikawa finished speaking than Neji reacted swiftly, reaching out to strike Lee's vital points in an attempt to control him.
But the drunken Lee seemed to have a cheat code, dodging Neji at tricky angles and quickly counterattacking. Tenten, Taro, and Jiro rushed to help, but even with four people attacking him, Lee handled it with ease, smashing and damaging things in the private room!
"Damn it, I've eaten too much and can't fight anymore!"
"What's wrong with Xiao Li? Has he lost consciousness?"
He quickly spat out the roasted meat in his mouth, and both Kai and Kakashi glanced at him with different reactions. The only thing they were in sync about was that they had eaten too much and were completely unable to stop Lee from his drunken rampage.
"Teacher, I'll leave this to you. We'll lead Xiao Li out to avoid further losses!" Ishikawa said quickly, while directing Neji and the other three to guide Xiao Li outwards.
As long as they are in an open space, there are plenty of ways to control Xiao Li.
Neji and his three companions naturally had no objections. Following Ishikawa's plan, they broke through the window, lured Lee to the street, and retreated while fighting to a nearby open space.
"Ah...this...this..." Looking at the now completely wrecked barbecue restaurant and the shop owner's gleaming eyes, Might Guy finally snapped out of his daze and looked at Kakashi with a mournful face, "Kakashi, we...this loss..."
"I concede defeat in today's duel! I'll pay for the meal, but as for the rest, you'll have to go ask Lee. Besides, it was you who extended the invitation, wasn't it, Guy?" Kakashi quickly interjected, stopping Guy.
That's ridiculous! Such a huge loss would require at least tens of thousands of taels of silver in compensation. Even close friends and joking around shouldn't be stingy with each other when it comes to finances; even brothers should keep clear accounts!
"Little Lee, you despicable guy have made my wallet lose its passion..." Seeing Kakashi's resolute attitude, Might Guy turned to look out the window and shed tears of grief and heartache.
At the same time, Lee, who was in the open space, was finally tied up and thrown to the ground by Neji and the other three.
"I never expected Lee to be so terrifying after drinking. We absolutely must never let him drink again!" Jiro collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, while Neji and the other two nodded in unison in agreement.
"That's not entirely true. If we use this to develop Lee's own drunken sparring technique, it could be a pretty good trump card. Besides, a drunken sparring partner is also a very good opponent." Ishikawa said casually, but his gaze inadvertently swept over Neji.
"Sparring partner!!" Neji muttered to himself, suddenly realizing that something had caught his eye.
Based on the skill Xiao Li just displayed, he's definitely a qualified sparring partner. Those unpredictable and cunning attack methods will surely help his Soft Fist technique improve by leaps and bounds.
Furthermore, this is also helping Xiao Li develop his skills; it's a win-win situation!
"Neji, would you like to come to my house for a bit?" Seeing Neji's eyes light up, Ishikawa smiled brightly and stepped forward to invite him.
It's time to give Neji some benefits so that he can grow quickly and become his capable assistant.
Well, let's also give our future junior brother a little trouble...
