Konoha Drunkard

"Water escape. Water formation wall!"

"Water escape. Water formation wall!"

"........"

Upon hearing the order, the retreating Mist Ninjas, seeing the massive sword energy rushing towards them, once again combined their Water Formation Wall to defend against it.

However, the combined water barrier formed by the exhausted Mist Ninja was clearly not as effective as it had been at the beginning.

"boom!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"........."

The massive water barrier was instantly shattered by the sword energy, slashing towards the Mist Ninja behind it!

Hundreds and thousands of Mist Ninja were killed by this giant sword energy.

"Damn it! Retreat! Back to the village!" Hozuki Ryota cried out in anguish as he saw over a thousand of his underlings cut down by Shanks' sword, and many more who were severely wounded or beaten to death.

This defeat was utterly devastating. He brought over 20,000 men, and in one great battle, 5,000 were wiped out. The final sword strike from Konoha's Red Hair alone killed over 1,000. Hozuki Ryota's heart was bleeding. He simply couldn't understand why his clan's bloodline limit was completely useless against this Red Hair. That punch had already caused massive internal bleeding, and he was still alive only because of his bloodline limit. But he was destined to die soon anyway.

"Wow...so amazing! He killed so many people with just one strike!" The Konoha ninjas on the battlefield were all stunned by Shanks's sword strike. This strike was similar to the opening strike. However, since the opening strike was blocked, the shock effect was not as great. This final strike was blocked by the Mist Ninjas, so it cleaved off thousands of heads in one strike. They had never seen such a shocking scene in their lives.

"Is this what war is..." Little Itachi wasn't shocked by Shanks's single strike that killed over a thousand people. Instead, as he watched each life die on the battlefield, he pondered why war was necessary. Thinking about these things, he began to loathe this place, loathe war, and wanted to return to the village. Seeing so many deaths was too much of a shock to his young mind.

283. Accidentally gained another wave of reputation points.

Shanks accidentally gained a lot of reputation points during the battle in the Land of Water.

With less than 10,000 Konoha ninja, Shanks drove more than 20,000 Kirigakure ninja back to their homeland. In the end, Shanks' sword strike killed more than a thousand Kirigakure ninja, shaking the entire ninja world.

"Wow! The vice principal is amazing! He killed over a thousand people with a single sword strike! But... is that really the crazy vice principal?" On the battlefield of the Land of Earth, Obito was dumbfounded after hearing everyone's discussion. He had heard the legend of the vice principal since he was a child, but he had never seen him. Although he hadn't seen him this time either, just hearing that he had killed over a thousand people with a single sword strike was too invincible. He had just been outplayed by Minato before, and this vice principal was even more ferocious, with his kills counted in the thousands. He really couldn't imagine that crazy, slovenly middle-aged man as a super strong person.

"..." Kakashi rarely nodded in agreement with Obito this time. It was hard to imagine that the person who was usually crazy and always doing those boring things was the same person as the strongman who could cut down more than a thousand people with one sword.

"Haha! Teacher can be really powerful when he gets serious!" Minato rubbed the two of them on the head, he really couldn't find a line to salvage Shanks' image.

.........

"Haha! I didn't expect Shanks to be so energetic! I can't lose to him! Pocket! Pass the word down, attack Konoha. It's been a long time since I've fought one, I'm itching for a fight." The Third Raikage of Kumogakure laughed loudly.

"Received, I'll go and make the arrangements right away!" Sack Bag had great confidence in the strength of his Raikage. In the ninja world, only Konoha's Shanks could stop his Raikage, and only Konoha's Shanks could withstand his Raikage.

"..." The future Fourth Raikage was extremely excited upon hearing his father's words.

"Gyuki, what kind of person is this Konoha Shanks? Idiot! Bastard!" The eight Jinchuriki asked the giant octopus in their stomachs as they walked down the streets of Kumogakure. He had seen Konoha Shanks once when he was a boy, and he seemed crazy and not at all like their Raikage, a strong person.

"...He's a nasty jerk! Remember to stay away from him in the future, don't get too close, it's easy to catch his 'infect'." The giant octopus was ranting about Shanks inside the little sunglasses' belly.

"..." On the battlefield of the Land of Wind, Orochimaru and Tsunade were surprisingly calm because they were all too familiar with Shanks, having grown up following him around since childhood.

Meanwhile, Rasa was preoccupied with figuring out how to stop that damned Thousand Hands traitor from racking up kills and leveling up. He had no time to concern himself with Kirigakure. After all, Kirigakure hadn't surrendered; they'd just been wiped out. With their accumulated strength, losing ten or twenty thousand wouldn't be a problem, let alone five thousand.

The situation in Konoha was far more chaotic than usual. Shanks was their trademark. Although he was usually crazy, slovenly, and loved to drink, he never had diarrhea when it mattered, and he was approachable and didn't have the airs of a strongman. He could chat with an old lady selling dumplings for hours. So when the news reached Konoha, the villagers were overjoyed. Some bold villagers even petitioned the Hokage Building to demand that Hiruzen Sarutobi give their Shanks a raise!

"..." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked out the window at the villagers below the Hokage building, his head throbbing again. Why was everyone else so normal after winning a great victory, but Shanks was completely unserious?! He just swindled me out of two billion, and now he's giving him a raise? What are you guys trying to do?! Why don't we just make him Hokage...? But he doesn't seem cut out for it!

"What do you suggest we do? Are we really going to give him a raise?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the villagers below and felt a headache coming on. Otherwise, he would have suspected that some bastard was behind it all because he had just been swindled out of 2 billion yen. Of course, he was the most greedy of all the Konoha Red Flower Double Sticks, though family factors also played a part.

"...I have no choice but to add them. Look at these people down there, they're even carrying tents. I bet if you don't add them, they'll really be living down there," said Xiaochun from the dormitory helplessly.

"...Give him a raise. It's only right that he gets a raise for all the contributions he's made to the village over the years. And those two gambling addicts in his family are really too wasteful." Although Mitokado Homura was rigid, Shanks was still their little brother, so it wouldn't hurt to take care of him.

"..." Danzo didn't say anything, looking like it was none of his business. Anyway, no matter how much Shanks caused trouble, he would never become Hokage, so it had no interest in conflict with him. Besides, they had a common enemy, that perverted lecher who was hiding somewhere in the ninja world and impersonating him.

Good morning, Haruko-sama!

"Haha! Haruko-sama, did you hear the news? Shanks-sama is famous again!"

"Yes, Lord Shanks killed over a thousand Mist Ninjas with a single sword strike! That's amazing!"

"Hehe! I just heard that too."

Because of the war, Lady Haruko is very busy every day. Just taking stock of the medicinal herbs takes up a lot of time. So when Shanks is not around, she stays in the hospital. This morning, as soon as she left the office, ninjas kept greeting her along the way.

However, Haruko was already quite calm. Over the years, her husband had been dumped so many times that she had accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with it.

"Aunt Lingling, Grandpa Shanks is so amazing! Give me some money so I can buy a sword. I want to learn swordsmanship too!" When Big Mom was taking Garp to school today, she heard passersby praising Shanks. Garp's eyes lit up with a way to earn money for gambling.

Since his aunt went to the front line, his life has become harder and harder. His violent mother at home doesn't give him any money. Before, when his aunt was around, she could bully his father and ask him for money so that the two of them could go out and have fun. Now that even his bullied father is gone, only his violent mother and he are left at home. Usually, only his fourth aunt takes pity on him and gives him pocket money.

"Alright, but the swords in Konoha aren't very good, and you're too young to be easily fooled. Tomorrow I'll have someone go to the Land of Iron to buy you a good one," Big Mom said with a smile.

Having lived together for so many years, Big Mom knew exactly what Garp was thinking the moment he took his pants off. She knew his tricks all too well; if she gave him money today, he'd definitely hand it over to Sarutobi Casino tonight.

"Haha! Okay! That's great." Garp said with a disappointed look when his trick was exposed.

"Here's 100,000 yen, your allowance for this week. Treat your classmates to food, make friends, and don't get into fights anymore, and no more gambling!" After the two arrived at the school gate, Big Mom still couldn't bear to take out a wad of cash to give to Garp. This money was all swindled out of her by her father, so Big Mom had never felt bad about it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been tricked by Tsunade into taking Shanks's secret stash of money since she was a child.

284. Remember to remind me when I resurrect.

"Damn red-haired brat! I'll make sure he dies next time! Black Zetsu, remind me when I revive!" In the underground entertainment center of the ninja world, Madara roared like a madman. If his body allowed, he really wanted to summon the Blue Giant and continue fighting Shanks for another three hundred rounds. He found that ever since his battle with Shanks, he had been having bad luck. Every plan he made would encounter some unexpected problems. Like this time, he already knew the number of Konoha's troops coming to the Land of Water, so he controlled the Mizukage to arrange twice the number of Konoha's troops. But it was this red-haired brat who ruined his plan again. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist he had arranged were still lying in wait in the bushes in the Land of Fire, and there had been no sign of them. The red-haired brat's status in his heart was rising rapidly. The plan could be abandoned, but the red-haired brat had to die!

"Don't worry, Lord Madara, I will definitely remind you when the time comes." The black object also joined in Madara's show-off act. Anyway, it's only a few years away. When that time comes, we'll bring Obito over and let him go to see his beloved. Let's make him happy while he's here.

Speaking of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, they're currently practically camped out in the bushes of the Land of Fire. Firstly, they're terrified of Shanks' bullying, and secondly, they just heard the news that their 20,000-plus soldiers from Kirigakure were wiped out by that red-haired demon before they even had a day's rest on the battlefield, and had to flee back home. And after hearing that the red-haired demon had beheaded over a thousand people with a single sword strike, they were even more terrified. They couldn't believe they'd been living with such a demon for so long; thankfully, he didn't use a sword...

Now, whenever they see Konoha ninjas, they suspect it's a trap to lure them out, so they stay hidden in the bushes, afraid to come out. One sword strike kills over a thousand people! Just watching ordinary people kill over a thousand makes them tired, let alone over a thousand ninjas—the thought alone sends chills down their spines.

"Another team of Konoha ninjas has arrived. Are we going to do it or not? We've been waiting for over a month. If we don't make a move soon, the reputation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist will really be ruined!" After waiting for over a month, Suigetsu Hozuki couldn't take it anymore. He really couldn't be called Fatty anymore. Now his muscles were even more impressive than his underling Kisame's. He also started to dislike wearing clothes and would go shirtless every day to show off his muscles.

"...Then let's do it. Our Hidden Mist Village has already withdrawn, and now the heavy responsibility of rebuilding our Hidden Mist Village falls on our shoulders. If we don't act now, not only will the reputation of our village be damaged, but we seven will also lose face!" Kusanagi said with a stern face.

“Let’s do it then. A team of one Jonin and three Genin, Kurihara Kushimaru and Mushishi Jinpachi, I’ll keep watch for you,” said Suigetsu Hobuki.

"on!"

Take care on your journey!

"Take care on your journey!"

Same as above.

The other four looked at Muri Jinpachi and Kurihara Kushimaru, and said as if it were a matter of life and death.

"Go!" Mushiro Jinpachi said seriously to Kushimaru Kurishari and charged towards the Konoha team.

......

Five minutes later, the two returned, each carrying two human heads.

"So fast? Your strength has improved quite a bit!" Suigetsu Hobutsuki said in surprise.

"You know what, even though I was tortured by that red-haired demon, I actually feel like my physical skills have improved, especially when I swing my sword, I feel like I'm getting faster!" Kushimaru Kurihara threw the two heads on the ground.

"Now that you mention it, I feel like my hammer is much lighter!" Tongcao Yeren pondered.

"Could blacksmithing really improve strength?" Watermelon Pufferfish Demon flexed his muscles again and said.

"How about we forge iron and steal heads in the Land of Fire? It'll be good to cause them some trouble," said Black Hoe.

“Let’s do it this way!” The other six agreed with Black Hoe’s plan.

........

"Lord Hokage, we've once again encountered the corpses of our Konoha ninja squad in a battle in the Land of Fire. Just like before, they're headless. The initial assessment is that they were caused by a blunt knife and stitches," said Mitarashi Shishou.

"...Pass the word down, tell the ninja squads on missions to be careful. Have the Anbu search more thoroughly?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

For the past month, the ninja squad had been constantly ambushed by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, which infuriated him. These seven were incredibly good at hiding; even he and the Hyuga clan searched for several days but couldn't find where they were hiding. The village couldn't possibly stop its missions just because of these seven's ambushes, could it?

"Haha! I've already got six kills. The people from Konoha aren't all that great! I thought that red-haired village ninja was some kind of super strong!" said the shirtless Suigetsu Hozuki.

"That's right! It's my turn and Juzo's next. This time we're going to give the people of Konoha a good beating and let them feel the pain we're going through from that red-haired guy." Kurosuki said fiercely.

After one person hunted down a Konoha ninja, they started to get cocky. They thought they were still capable fighters after all! There's only one Shanks in Konoha.

This made him think again that the group Shanks had driven back last time must have been too weak, unable to kill a single Konoha ninja. In the last war, Konoha ninjas had achieved a zero-death record. It seemed this time the newcomers were simply too weak; Konoha ninjas were so easy to kill, yet they couldn't kill a single one.

"That's right, I'll make those Konoha ninjas pay back tenfold, a hundredfold, for the pain Shanks inflicted on us." Kusanagi said as he swung his hammer and axe, chopping at a lump of iron.

For the past month, they have been constantly forging iron while two of them go out to hunt down Konoha squads. Although forging iron is painful for them, it can improve their strength and allow them to hunt down Konoha ninjas to vent their hatred. So the seven of them have been suffering and happy at the same time.

"Kai! Stop wandering around. I heard that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist recently ambushed our Konoha mission team in the Land of Fire. What if we run into them?" Just as Kusanagi Erito finished speaking, a young boy's voice came from afar.

"Haha, don't worry, Ebisu. It's so close to the village, they probably won't dare to come over." Another voice came.

"That's true. I heard they were originally arrested by the vice principal, but were later rescued. They shouldn't dare to come near our village."

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, a Jonin rushed to Green Skin Dai's house.

"Dai, have you been watching Guy and Ebisu?" the Jonin asked anxiously.

"No, Kai said he went to practice with Ebisu and the others early this morning," Green-skinned Dai said blankly.

"Oh no, they might have gone to the edge of the village. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are currently hunting down ninja teams in our Land of Fire. The Hokage just warned us to be careful, and I can't find Guy and the others when I get back," the Jonin said.

285. The Seven Fools of the Hidden Mist, who were beaten senseless.

"What? Such a thing actually happened! I'll go look for it, you go and inform the Dark Division first!" After hearing this, Green-skinned Dai disappeared with a green light emanating from his body.

"As expected of the legendary strongest genin!" This jonin didn't even see how Green Skin Dai disappeared; he only heard the sound.

"Kai, you absolutely can't be hurt!" Green-skinned Dai opened five doors and moved at a speed too fast for the naked eye to see, quickly searching for Green-skinned Kai and his two friends at the edge of the village.

........

Meanwhile, Green-skinned Kai and his two companions stared in terror at the seven strangely shaped people in front of them.

"Oh! Three young boys from Konoha have arrived!" Suigetsu Hozuki said disdainfully.

"Ah! It's such a pity to think that I'm about to die!" Muli Jinpachi said wickedly, licking his lips.

As the three green-skinned men watched as Muli Shenba licked his lips so wickedly, they suddenly felt a tightness in their anuses.

"Why don't we let them play with us too? That red-haired guy from Konoha really likes us playing with him, right? Now let those Konoha kids experience our pain too." Kuroko said fiercely to the three green-skinned guys, his eyes glistening with tears.

"..." The three boys looked at Kurochu's expression and became even more terrified. From Kurochu's words, they had gleaned a great deal of information: these seven weren't just captured alive by the vice-principal; they must have been tortured terribly at the same time. Otherwise, how could a grown man shed tears? They never imagined the vice-principal was this kind of person! What a tragedy! ...But why are we being blamed?!

“That’s right, they call that red-haired vice principal, so in that sense he’s also a student of the red-haired one. It’s not wrong for us to hold his student accountable!” Pipa Juzo said, picking up a large machete and staring at the three of them.
