Konoha Drunkard

Two weeks later, the group arrived at the seaside on the border of the Land of Fire and set up camp to wait for the arrival of Madara's henchmen.

While Shanks was still waiting for Madara's henchmen, another battle broke out on the battlefield in the Land of Wind. This time, Nawaki was having a particularly tough time. After the last major battle and Nawaki's recent prominence in the ninja world, the Sand Ninja were keeping a close eye on him. Every time he lured two Jonin to Orochimaru's location and before he could even start looking for trouble, the two Jonin would come back and keep an eye on him. Forget about killing the troublemakers, he was willing to risk his life. Orochimaru also couldn't possibly kill two Jonin instantly while being entangled by Rasa.

"Huff, huff! These two bastards are really troublesome. Enma, think of something." Nawaki wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he looked at the two Sand Ninja opposite him. He had been entangled by these two since the beginning. He didn't know Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique, and his Super Strength Fist was only half-baked and not as powerful as a single blow from Enma's staff.

"...I'll take them down for you, but you'd better watch out." After saying that, the Monkey Demon transformed from his staff into a monkey and charged at the two Jonin. Seeing the two Jonin fighting back and forth with the Monkey Demon, Nawaki also drew his Seven Star Sword from behind without saying a word and rushed towards the monsters on the side. Just because I don't have a staff doesn't mean I can't do it. I still have a sword!

Even without using any skills, the Seven Star Sword is a divine weapon just for basic attacks. Moreover, with Nawaki's level as a Jonin, wielding the Seven Star Sword and charging into a group of Chunin and Genin, he entered a godlike mode, becoming virtually unstoppable. After being beaten by Shanks and Tsunade for so many years, he had developed his taijutsu skills. With the addition of a ninja tool from the Six Paths, it was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

"Damn it! That bastard still has a divine weapon! Get out of the way!" A Jonin who was fighting the Monkey Demon saw that Rope Tree had lost his staff and actually pulled out a golden sword from behind and rushed into the crowd to start killing monsters again. He was so frustrated that he almost vomited blood.

Is this some kind of privileged class? The Thousand Hands Clan is so damn rich, each person carrying around two divine weapons.

There's nothing more frustrating than this: you finally manage to defeat his charlatan, only to find out he has a golden sword that seems even more powerful than the charlatan's. How are you supposed to fight him?!

"Damn bastard!" Rasa was originally happily pestering Orochimaru to stop him from rescuing people. Although it was a bit unrealistic, he still hoped that his two guards could kill this shameless Senju clan leader. Who knew that Orochimaru had plenty of divine weapons. One of his sticks transformed into a monkey and entangled his two guards. Then, he pulled out another divine weapon from behind and charged into the monster horde, hacking away fiercely.

264. Give him another Thor's sword.

"Heh! I can't let you pass." Snake looked at Rasa, who was furious, with amusement. Wasn't he having a good time just now? Blocking me from saving people.

"Damn bastard! Retreat!" Rasa watched as Nawaki, wielding the Seven Star Sword, went out to hunt down ninjas, severing limbs or decapitating them with a single strike. At this rate, he would wipe out all his underlings.

Upon hearing Rasa's command, the Sand Ninja quickly retreated. By this time, he had also cleared out most of the small monsters around the Rope Tree. However, the Konoha ninjas around him looked at him in amazement. This guy was incredibly powerful, wielding two divine weapons in turn. Even without the staff, he still had a sword.

Snake turned around and looked at him. This time, Snake had nothing to say. Being a little sneaky was fine, at least it would save his life. Otherwise, if he had just cut those junior ninjas down like vegetables, who knows how far this battle would have gone.

"Tsunade, let the Hokage give the Thunder God Sword to Nawaki too. I reckon he'll be targeted even more severely next time, and one Seven Star Sword might not be enough." Kurenai Yuhi looked at the man in front of her, his left hand holding a staff and his right hand a sword, both stained with blood, and he looked incredibly cool.

"...Hmm! I'll have Orochimaru deliver a message to the Hokage." Tsunade looked at Nawaki, who was still posing like a war god. She was almost scared to death just now. The Sand Ninja deliberately sent two Jonin to entangle Nawaki. She was really worried that her younger brother would die before he could give the Senju a few more children.

This battle was not as intense as the first one, mainly because Rasa learned from the first experience. Seeing that even his two Jonin guards could not hold Nawaki back, he immediately ordered a retreat, and Nawaki's head was not killed very often.

"Lord Kaizo, we must find a way to restrain that shameless bastard, otherwise it will be very troublesome." After returning to the camp, Rasa had been thinking about how to stop the shameless Nawaki, otherwise their chunin and genin would really be wiped out by him.

"...Right now, we can only send more people to harass him or kill him. Otherwise, with two divine weapons in his hands, Hiruzen Sarutobi's summoning beast alone is already very troublesome." Uncle Haizang thought for a while and shook his head. He was already convinced of Nawaki's abilities. In the ninja world, Nawaki was the first person to use divine weapons to defeat small monsters. Whether there would be anyone like him after him was unknown, but it was certain that he was the first.

In the Konoha Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi received a letter from Tsunade, delivered by Orochimaru. Seeing that Tsunade was asking him for the Thunder God Sword to give to Nawaki, Hiruzen felt a chill run down his spine. What was going on? He already had his two divine weapons, the Enma and the Seven Star Sword, and now she was even asking for the Second Hokage's weapon? Was she trying to outdo him in equipment?

"Tsunade wants me to give the Thunder God Sword to Nawaki, what do you guys think?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked his two companions.

The two giants were completely dumbfounded after hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words. He already had two divine artifacts, wasn't that enough for him to gain experience? And he still wanted more divine artifacts! If it were an ordinary person, they would have already turned on him, but who could blame them when he was the head of the Senju clan? Even though he was slightly humiliated, his status and position were undeniable!

"Give it to him. Thor's Sword is the teacher's sword anyway, so it's perfectly justified to give it to him," said Koharu Utatane.

“But he already has Hiruzen’s Enma and the Seven Star Sword. If we give him the Thunder God Sword, it will be even more dangerous.” Mitomon Homura, a guest on the sidelines, pushed up his glasses and said. He was already being targeted to death because he already had two divine weapons. If we gave him another one, he would probably be the target of the entire army.

"...Give it to him. If he still can't survive even with three divine artifacts, then it's just bad luck for him." Koharu sighed.

"...Sigh! Let Minato send the sword over there. He can also get some training over there and help Nawaki share some of the firepower." Hiruzen Sarutobi finally decided. He was really going all out so that he could face his two teachers in the future. Even though your grandson's talent isn't great, I'm willing to use three divine weapons on him to protect him!

“Let his ninja squad go with him. Sakumo was already an ANBU captain when he was Kakashi’s age. Let Kakashi get some experience too,” said Koharu Utatane.

“Since we’re going to train them anyway, why not send all the graduates out? They need to grow eventually. Training one is training them, training a group is training them too,” said Mitokado Homura.

"Okay! Notify the Minato squad to come here," Hiruzen Sarutobi said to the Anbu outside the window.

"Lord Hokage!" Minato arrived at the Hokage's office shortly afterward.

"Minato, take the Thunder God Sword to Nawaki, and your class should go too. Give these kids some training." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled as he looked at his increasingly perfect grand-disciple.

"The main purpose is to train Kakashi!" Koharu Utatane added.

"Yes! Lord Hokage, Lord Koharu!" Minato understood what they meant. This time, he was to take Kakashi to grind experience so that he could level up. Obito and Rin were just teaming up to make up the numbers.

He didn't object, since Obito's strength was only enough to make him cannon fodder, while Rin could still be useful by helping to treat the wounded from the rear.

But... doesn't Rope Tree already have two divine weapons? Why would he need to give away another one? He doesn't seem that weak, does he?

......

"Haha! Kakashi, let's have a man's duel! I learned a new ninjutsu today." In Konoha's training ground number three, Obito strode over and called out to Kakashi.

"...I'm busy today. Minato-sensei was summoned by the Hokage. There might be a mission for us." Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes at Obito, who was all over the place.

He claims to be learning new ninjutsu every day, but all he does is spew black smoke except for the Great Fireball Jutsu. He's really not interested. Even Green-skinned Guy can compete with him in taijutsu!

"Really? We're going to the battlefield? I can finally show off my skills!" Obito exclaimed excitedly.

"Obito, don't get too excited. It's probably just the teacher going alone!" his world Rin said.

"Not this time. The Hokage has decided to send this year's graduates to the battlefield for training as well." Minato's figure suddenly appeared behind Obito and Rin, patting their heads as he spoke.

"Minato-sensei! Next time you appear, make some noise, you scared me to death!" Obito was startled by Minato's sudden appearance.

"Haha! Sorry! It's a habit." Minato scratched the back of his head and laughed.

"Teacher, are we really going to the battlefield this time?" Shi Jielin asked somewhat nervously.

"Ah! Don't worry, your teacher will protect you. Go back and prepare now. We'll meet at the village entrance at noon to set off." Minato smiled at Rin, while also giving Obito a look. This was a good opportunity.

"Yes, Rin, I'll protect you, don't worry!" Obito reassured her after receiving Minato's message.

"Just protect yourself and that's about it!" That's how straightforward Kaka is.

"You bastard Kakashi! I challenge you to a duel!" Every time Obito tries his best to create a lively atmosphere, it gets ruined by the straightforward Kakashi.

"Alright, hurry back and get ready!" Minato quickly changed the subject. This disciple was betrothed since childhood, otherwise it would be a real problem in the future. It's not always the case that girls come knocking on your door after you save a damsel in distress.

265. Onoki is up to his old tricks again.

"Minato-sensei, when was the first time you went to the battlefield?" Obito asked Minato curiously as the Minato squad was on their way.

"I think it was during World War II, and it was very dangerous back then!" Minato recalled, still feeling nauseous thinking about how he had stabbed a Jonin in the gut with his finger gun the first time.

"No way, I feel dangerous seeing how powerful you are, Master." Obito was a little scared. This was Konoha's new Red Flower Double Staff.

"Ah, I was just a recent graduate like you guys back then. I wasn't nearly as good as you are. It was Kakashi's father, Lord Sakumo, who led the army in the great battle in the Land of Rain. Luckily, Lord Sakumo was strong enough to prevent the two villages from ambushing us. Otherwise, we would have been in real danger!" Minato said.

"Sakumo-sama is so amazing, how come Kakashi is so ordinary!" Obito glanced disdainfully at his rival.

"...How dare you talk about others like that?" Kakashi glared at Obito with a hateful, deadpan expression.

"Damn Kakashi, I'm going to beat you up once I awaken my Sharingan!" Obito gets furious every time he sees Kakashi's expression.

"Let's talk about it when you awaken. You'll be 12 soon." Kadian continued with his deadpan expression.

"Hey! I'll decide with you!" Obito's face darkened.

"Obito, stop fooling around. Let's hurry up and get going. We still have a mission!" Rin from the World started to persuade Obito again.

"Hmph! I'll give Rin face!" Obito turned his face to the side.

"......" Minato looked at the three young boys and felt really tired. Their relationship was so complicated! Rin liked Kakashi, Obito liked Rin, and Kakashi advised against filming romantic scenes.

When Minato's team headed to the Land of Wind battlefield, Onoki Red-Nosed had already arrived at the Land of Earth battlefield with his men. However, when they saw that the leader of Konoha was Hatake Sakumo, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although their underlings had been training their willpower recently, it would be best if they didn't run into Konoha's Red-Haired Shanks. Although Konoha's White Fang was also troublesome, at least he wasn't as cheating as that bastard Shanks.

Although it's true that it's troublesome for mages to encounter assassins, what can a mage do when they can fly? And White Fang doesn't have Hiruzen Sarutobi's staff that can grow bigger and longer.

So, after resting for three days, Onoki Red-Nosed launched an attack on Konoha. This time, Onoki Red-Nosed was well prepared. Seeing that the Four-Tails Jinchuriki had been brought along, he was determined not to let Hatake Sakumo slaughter his underlings while he was flying in the sky.

Hatake Sakumo was not a stamina-type fighter to begin with, and now he was being held back by a Jinchuriki and a short, flying guy while fighting two opponents. The others couldn't help him either. The large Ino-Shika-Cho trio was also being held back by Iwato and several Jonin. The battle was at a stalemate.

"Sakumo, let's retreat first. The losses will be too great if we continue like this. They have far more people than us." Big Cannon sighed as he looked at the battlefield elsewhere. He didn't expect Onoki Red Nose to be so decisive. He brought almost all of Iwagakure's fighting force, a total of more than 20,000 people.

"Retreat!" Hatake Sakumo saw that Konoha was basically fighting two against one, and he and Ino-Shika-Cho were tied up and unable to provide support. He couldn't outlast the Jinchuriki in a prolonged battle.

Upon hearing their leader's order, the Konoha ninjas quickly retreated. However, Onoki's red nose clearly didn't want them to leave. This was originally just a probing attack to test Konoha's strength, but Konoha only brought so few people. Wasn't this a sign that they looked down on Iwagakure? How could they let such a good opportunity slip by?

"Chase after them!" Onoki shouted excitedly from the air. If he could defeat these Konoha people, he would be the first person in history to defeat Konoha!

"Lord Tsuchikage, be careful, it might be a trap!" Aoki Nozomi said to Onoki Red Nose as he watched the Konoha ninja retreating in an orderly manner.

"What's the trap? We outnumber them twice as much. Let's take this opportunity to crush them." Onoki Red Nose was already fantasizing about becoming the first person to defeat Konoha.

Upon hearing Onoki's order, the Iwa ninja on the battlefield pursued the retreating Konoha ninja.

"Notify the Uzumaki clan to prepare," the giant rocket said to his companion, Old Man Yamanaka Inoichi, from the front.

"Father, something's not right." Iwato noticed that a dozen or so ninjas had suddenly appeared behind the Konoha ninjas, some of whom had red hair.

"Not good! Uzumaki clan, retreat!" Onoki, with his red nose, was startled when he saw several red-haired Konoha ninjas appear. Apart from Shanks, the Uzumaki clan hadn't appeared in the ninja world for a long time, and he had almost forgotten about the Uzumaki clan's specialty, sealing techniques.

Unfortunately, Onoki's order was delayed, and some people still rushed into the sealing barrier set up by the Uzumaki clan, their fates unknown.

"Damn it! Limit Separation Technique!" Onoki Red Nose unleashed a powerful attack on the barrier, and a beam of white light shot into the barrier and disappeared.

"Onoki, the Iwa ninja inside the barrier were killed by your Dust Release technique," Hatake Sakumo said, looking at Onoki's red nose.

"Damn it! Come out and fight me one-on-one if you dare! Do you dare, you dignified White Fang of Konoha?!" Onoki felt his heart bleed when he heard Sakumo Hatake's words.

"I'm a ninja, not a samurai," Hatake Sakumo said. "You're flying through the air like you're cheating, what am I supposed to shoot at? Am I supposed to be your target?"

"Hmph! Let's go!" Onoki, with his red nose, saw that Hatake Sakumo was still calm despite being provoked. If it were Shanks, that bastard, he would have already drawn his sword and started fighting.

"...Sakumo, notify the village to send reinforcements. I didn't expect Onoki to be so decisive this time, bringing so many people." As soon as they returned to the camp, Chongtianpao said to Hatake Sakumo.

Although he had assumed that the number of ninjas was greater than theirs, perhaps only by a thousand or two, since the village still needed to retain some fighting force for defense, he hadn't expected Onoki to be so stubborn as to bring over 20,000 men. Hadn't he learned his lesson from the defeat in the first war?

"Lord Shika, don't you feel that something is amiss with the situation in Iwagakure? Onoki doesn't seem like the type to act impulsively. Why did he impulsively send so many people to the battlefield this time? Is there some kind of conspiracy? Isn't he afraid of a repeat of the First World War?" Hatake Sakumo said.

"...You're right, but we don't know what he's up to right now. And there's still no movement from the Land of Water. Could he be setting a trap for the Land of Water? Onoki is such a cunning old fox!" The more Big Cannon talked, the more likely it seemed.

“That’s possible! The hatred between the Iwagakure and the Land of Water is much greater than ours,” Sakumo Hatake said after a moment of contemplation.

"Regardless of whether he's set a trap or not, let's ask the Hokage for another 5,000 reinforcements before we see what happens. The difference in numbers is too great; the Uzumaki clan's sealing barrier might not be able to hold them off next time," said Big Cannon. This time, it was purely Onoki's overthinking; otherwise, an ordinary sealing barrier set up by a dozen or so people could only hold a maximum of 1,000 people. With 20,000 people rushing in, the barrier simply couldn't withstand it.

266. The artifact has been received.

Inside the Hidden Cloud Village,

"Pocket, that cunning Onoki brought so many people to the battlefield, is he planning to ambush us?" Don't let the Raikage's burly appearance fool you, he has already seen through everything.

“It should be right, but it’s very likely a trap set for us and the Land of Water,” said the man in the burlap sack standing to the side.

"This Onoki is a leopard can't change its spots; he's still resorting to tricks at a time like this," the Raikage laughed.

"Father, the Sand Village and the Stone Village have already started fighting. Should we join in?" the future Fourth Hokage asked. He couldn't wait to see his father clash with Shanks from Konoha. He had only heard about it from others before and had never had the chance to see it in person.

"No rush, let's wait until Kirigakure enters and see what happens. Remember, as a Kage, your first priority is the safety of your subordinates. Don't let superficial interests influence you!" the Raikage instructed his son.
