Konoha Drunkard

298. Raikage becomes a match for ten thousand men.

The leader of the Iwa ninja became increasingly excited as he thought about it, and rushed towards the old Raikage with a kunai in hand.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Although the Raikage is old, it depends on who you compare him to. He can't compare to Shanks, but compared to this group of weaklings who are still just ordinary people, he is still a true superman. He didn't even dodge the kunai that were stabbing him. His body was flashing with dazzling lightning, and he killed several people with one move, leaving others with barely any health.

"Damn it, the defense is too strong, I can't get in at all." One of the Iwa ninjas who dodged the Raikage's attack thought to himself. His kunai was like hitting a block of iron, it just wouldn't go in.

In a fierce battle, momentum is key. The Raikage, with unstoppable momentum, slaughtered tens of thousands of Iwa ninja, as if the number of kills could regenerate his health. The more he killed, the more excited he became. The old Raikage seemed to have returned to his peak, becoming more and more courageous with each attack. However, Onoki's face in the air began to darken. He had never fought the Raikage before, so he only knew that the Raikage was just as tough as that bastard Shanks from Konoha, but he didn't have a clear understanding of just how tough he was. This time, he finally understood just how tough he was.

He didn't even flinch as various ninjutsu, kunai, shuriken, and explosive tags bombarded him, taking several lives with a single strike. Onoki was visibly shaken. If he didn't have Dust Release, he wouldn't dare to confront the Raikage head-on. It was just too damn cheating.

Shanks sat on a large rock, munching on sunflower seeds and drinking, admiring the Raikage's imposing figure. It had to be said, while the Raikage's ultimate attack wasn't a wide-range offensive skill, it could still take down several minions with a single basic attack. If it were a decade or two ago, even if he couldn't wipe out all ten thousand Iwa ninja, the Raikage could have exhausted them to death. But not now. After most of the day, according to Shanks's incomplete count, the Raikage had already racked up over a thousand kills, and the kill count would only slow down further.

So the Raikage incident tells us that when playing nation war games, you must prepare several wide-range attack skills. For example, Shanks himself, if Onoki Red-Nosed dares to let 10,000 Iwa ninjas attack him, he can finish them off with a Conqueror's Haki and a few slashes!

Characters like the Raikage, Sakumo Hatake, and Minato are quite formidable in one-on-one combat, but they fall short in farming. The Raikage, at his peak, still had stamina, while assassins like Sakumo Hatake and Minato, with their high or full agility stats, were often one-shot kills. Even if you gave them ten thousand wild boars to farm, they probably couldn't handle it.

The Raikage and the Iwa ninja fought from day to night, and from night to day. By the third day, the Raikage had racked up over three thousand kills. He had racked up about two thousand kills on the first day, but it became increasingly difficult to do so, and the lightning on his body dimmed considerably.

"He's dying! Kill him!" A leader of the Iwa ninja shouted as he saw the dimmed Lightning Release mode and charged towards the Raikage.

"Ding!"

Although he still couldn't pierce anyone this time, he was clearly able to penetrate into Lightning Release mode. However, before he could even sense it, a fist the size of a sandbag crackling with lightning appeared in front of him.

"boom!"

On the third day, the Raikage had used up his remaining chakra to maintain Lightning Release mode, so his output relied entirely on basic attacks. His stamina was also at its lowest, and he couldn't get any kills with basic attacks, leaving him with low health. Since he had no teammates to help him finish off enemies, he couldn't even get assists.

By evening on the third day, the old Raikage was completely exhausted, his Lightning Release mode had disappeared, and several kunai were stuck in his body.

The remaining Iwa ninja looked at the Raikage's figure with deep fear and admiration in their eyes. This was an inhuman being who had fought against tens of thousands of Iwa ninja for three days and killed nearly four thousand of them.

"Huff! Haha! That was exhilarating! Iwa ninja, charge!" The Raikage roared with laughter, panting heavily.

"Raikage, after this war you will also be gone forever. He's exhausted, kill him!" Onoki, with his red nose, looked down at the Raikage and sighed. From today onwards, only he and Hiruzen Sarutobi will remain as elders of their generation. Let's see who can live longer.

"Kill!" Upon hearing their Tsuchikage's words, the Iwa ninja saw the light at the end of the tunnel in killing the Raikage and rushed towards him in a frenzy. This was a head with a bounty even higher than the Tsuchikage's! Whoever got it would truly reach the pinnacle of life. Why bother being a ninja? It's so dangerous, always having to kill the Raikage or the Hokage.

"Puff puff!"

Several more kunai flew randomly and pierced the Raikage's imposing body. The Raikage swayed slightly backward, then straightened up again and refused to fall.

The Raikage's vision began to blur, as if he saw the scene of him taking over as Raikage after the Second Raikage was ambushed, the scene of him fighting and drinking with Shanks, the scene of his son training hard, and finally the scene of him gradually growing old and his son slowly growing up to become the pillar of the village.

"It's time for me to leave!" The Raikage slowly closed his eyes, and the Iwa ninja around him stopped making a move, showing respect for a powerful figure.

Only when the Raikage was completely lifeless did the surrounding Iwa ninja slowly approach the Raikage, who was still standing even in death.

Several Iwa ninjas looked at the Raikage's head as if they saw a pile of money beckoning to them. There were too many people throwing kunai and shuriken earlier, so no one knew who had killed the Raikage. Therefore, a few Iwa ninjas, tempted by the money, suddenly stepped forward, holding kunai and trying to cut off the Raikage's head.

"Damn it!" Onoki, with his red nose, roared angrily as he watched his underlings so shameless as to actually try to cut off the Raikage's head.

"boom!"

Shanks never misses an opportunity to show off. Just as several Iwa ninjas were about to chop off the Raikage's head, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the Raikage and blasted the Iwa ninjas into dust with a black iron fist.

"boom"

"They're all dead, and you won't even leave them with a complete corpse? That's going too far!" Shanks said, looking at the Iwa ninja around him. He unleashed his Conqueror's Haki without restraint, knocking out or making the surviving Iwa ninja weak in the knees.

High in the sky, Onoki was almost shaken to the point of falling by the sudden force, but he managed to calm himself down quickly.

"Kou...Konoha's Red...Red-Haired Shanks!" The Iwa ninja, whose legs were weak, was speechless when he saw who had appeared. He had finally managed to kill a Raikage, and now someone else had come along who could rival Konoha's Red-Haired Shanks. Screw your ninja dream!

"Red Nose! The Raikage is dead too. Give me some face, the Raikage is my friend, I'll take his body back." Shanks looked at Onoki's red nose.

"...Bastard!" Onoki gritted his teeth, glaring at the suddenly appearing Shanks. Although he was still annoyed by his underlings stealing his kills, Shanks had blasted his men to smithereens right in front of him, and now he expected him to give him face? Where did that leave his dignity?!

299. Onoki is just stubborn.

"What? Do you want to leave me here too?" Shanks pulled out the dead tree and swung it downwards, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki once again.

"boom!"

The ninjas around him, whose legs had gone weak, were almost crushed to the ground. The ravaged battlefield was riddled with deep trenches by the force of the impact! The sky seemed to have been cleaved open by Shanks's aura, and a gap appeared in the clouds.

"Even...even the sky has been split open! This is too exaggerated!" Iwa ninja said, suppressing his fear as he looked at the sky with the crack.

"...Damn it! Rock Fist!" Onoki's eyes were red and his nose was red. If Shanks hadn't had his underlings around and were afraid of accidentally hurting them, he would have already used Dust Release. But he couldn't use Dust Release, and he couldn't back down either. They were fighting Konoha right now. If he, as the Tsuchikage, backed down, what was the point of fighting? He might as well go home, take a shower, and hug his wife.

"boom!"

Just as Onoki's red nose had rushed down less than two meters, Shanks appeared behind him with Moonwalk and delivered a powerful punch to his head. A real man who can foresee the next five seconds? You think you can joke with me? Trying to play hand-to-hand combat?

"hiss!"

Onoki's nose was slammed to the ground by an iron fist. He rubbed the bump on his head and gasped for breath. So many years have passed, but the unforgettable pain from back then has returned. This guy's fist really hurts!

"Did you drink fake milk powder? Trying to fight me with physical techniques? Even the old Raikage can only match half of his strength, yet you're so stubborn!" Shanks looked at him with disdain from the air.

"The Red-Haired Shanks of Konoha can fly too!" The Iwa ninja stared in shock at Shanks in the air.

"Damn it! Dust Release: Particle Style!" Onoki, with a headache, unleashed a Dust Release attack on Shanks in the air. Now, none of his underlings were around.

"You're so stubborn!"

"boom!"

No sooner had the small white cube left Onoki's hand than Shanks appeared beside him again and delivered another loving punch to his head, this time while saying something.

Onoki was blasted away again! He got another bump on his head.

"Ah! Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique!" Onoki exploded in anger, disregarding whether Shanks had any subordinates around him, and got up to endure the excruciating pain and unleash his full power.

"You're still so stubborn!" Just as Dust Release left his hand, Shanks appeared beside him with his usual Shave technique and delivered another loving punch to his head.

"boom!"

Onoki was blasted away again.

"Dust Release: Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"

Onoki went crazy, sacrificing his mana for Kai's ultimate move!

"Give me back the iron!"

"boom!"

Onoki took flight once again.

"Dust Release: Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"

"I'll make you iron!"

"boom!"

Ohnoki flies again.

"Dust Release: Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"

"I'll make you iron!"

"boom!"

Onoki is still flying!

..........

The Iwa ninja watched the battle in utter bewilderment. It was like an adult fighting a child. Every time their Tsuchikage unleashed a Dust Release technique, he would be blasted away!

Seeing the Tsuchikage covered in bumps, they cried, "Tsuchikage, stop fighting! If you keep fighting him, you'll be beaten senseless!"

"Damn it! Can you please stop hitting my head! Bastard! Dust Release: Particle Style!" After flying more than ten times, Onoki's head was already overflowing with bumps.

"Alright! Konoha's ultimate taijutsu technique, Thousand Years of Death!" Shanks, this time crouching behind Onoki, pulled out a small stick and stabbed it into Onoki's anus!

The Yun ninja present tensed up at the sight of his anus! Such a thick stick being shoved inside...

"what!"

This time, Onoki was tough. After letting out a scream, he shot into the sky and became a bright star.

"Lord Tsuchikage!"

The Iwa ninja present shouted towards Onoki, who had turned into a star, and then ran towards that star, hoping they could still make it in time...

"Tch! Wouldn't it have been better to just give them face? They had to get beaten up to feel good." Shanks watched the departing Iwa ninja hoist the Raikage's corpse onto his shoulder.

←↓→↑←↓→↓→!

Shanks appeared next to his future son-in-law carrying the Raikage's corpse. Yamanaka Inoichi and the fat Choza were startled, especially when they saw the lifeless Raikage on his shoulder.

"Teacher...you killed the Raikage?" Yamanaka Inoichi asked in a low voice. Wasn't this supposed to be a decades-long friendship? He just killed him like that. He really is made of plastic.

"Kill my ass! The old Raikage led a group to raid Onoki Red-Nosed's house, but Onoki Red-Nosed turned the tables and killed him. By the time I caught up, he was already dead. Otherwise, I would have made sure his body was never even preserved!" Shanks scoffed.

"The Raikage actually led a group to raid our base!" Inoichi and Choza stared in shock at the Raikage's corpse. They never expected that this seemingly heroic man would be so cunning. This world is so complicated!

"Son-in-law, inform the Cloud Ninja that I've brought back their Raikage's body. Tell them to come and collect it!" Shanks raised an eyebrow at his son-in-law, giving him a meaningful look.

"Remember to get as much benefit as possible."

"understand!"

The future son-in-law exchanged knowing glances.

A week later, the ninja world was in turmoil!

The Third Raikage of Kumogakure, leading several thousand elite subordinates, attempted to raid the Land of Earth. However, they were ambushed by the Tsuchikage. The Third Raikage covered his men's retreat, fighting against thousands of Iwa ninja for three days, racking up nearly four thousand kills! He finally succumbed to exhaustion. Konoha's Shanks arrived and, to preserve the Raikage's body, fought a fierce battle with Onoki. The outcome is unclear, but the Raikage's body was taken away by Shanks. According to an anonymous Iwa ninja, Onoki was carried back to the village with a head full of bruises, and there was a large amount of blood on his anus, which raises many questions.

........

On the battlefield of the Land of Wind, neither side went to war because this news could potentially change the situation.

"Four Kingdoms! The Raikage is amazing! One against ten thousand! And he racked up four thousand kills!" Nawaki, carrying three divine weapons, exclaimed in disbelief in the camp. He was practically an idol! The number of kills he racked up made the Third Raikage the undisputed MVP of this ninja world. These stats were too convincing! One against ten thousand was already incredible, but to rack up four thousand kills was even more impressive! If he didn't get the MVP, there would really be something fishy going on. As for the stories of Shanks and Onoki, he had already forgotten about them.

"Now that the Raikage is dead, and Shanks brought his body back, the battle in the Land of Lightning should be almost over." Kurenai Yuhi calmly analyzed the situation. Actually, he was also incredibly shocked. Just looking at ten thousand people made his legs weak, and the Raikage actually dared to fight head-on. He was incredibly impressed. In the end, he was still killed, and he died from exhaustion. That's just amazing. No wonder he could fight Shanks one-on-one for more than a month. His stamina is simply inhuman!

"Even the strongest person cannot escape death." Orochimaru stared blankly at the lamp on the table, thinking of how he was brutally beaten by the Raikage back then. The Raikage was indeed very strong, just like Shanks. If you couldn't break his defenses, you were invincible. Even someone like that couldn't escape death in the end.
