Konoha Drunkard

Watching Danzo being blasted away by the Fourth Raikage time and time again, only to get back up each time, the Konoha ninjas were moved to tears. If they didn't have any other options, they would have really wanted to step up and replace their advisor Danzo.

"...What's wrong with Danzo? How come he's so hard to kill?" Azabu Kyuuto watched as Danzo repeatedly got up and became energetic again. He didn't believe the Raikage would hold back. The damage from each of the Raikage's attacks was only slightly less than the previous Raikage's One-Shot Penetrating Hand, but it was definitely enough to kill someone. Apart from Shanks from Konoha, who in the ninja world could withstand that kind of damage? But now there's this guy from Konoha's Root who's always getting beaten up. It's really bizarre.

"Could he have had red-haired man's cells transplanted? I heard that Konoha has been researching human bodies for a long time," said a young woman with tanned skin standing next to Azabu Kyuu.

"No! If it's a transplant of red-haired cells, he should be very tough, not constantly being blasted away like this." Azabu Jiuzhi knew Shanks quite well.

"Damn it! Let's stop fighting and go!" As dinner time approached, the Fourth Raikage gave up, walked back to his underlings covered in sweat, and said. Every time he attacked with all his might, he was exhausted, but Danzo, that bastard, was completely unharmed except for being covered in dirt and having a bruised face. He was truly impressed.

The Cloud Ninja followed the Raikage and retreated. The Konoha ninja looked at each other, wondering if they had won. They had never imagined that being beaten could lead to victory! Today they had finally witnessed it.

One by one, they looked at Danzo, who was bruised and swollen and too weak to stand up, with admiration. Don't think that only the Fourth Raikage was tired; Danzo, who had been beaten up, was also tired. However, he realized that he seemed to have come out ahead this time, looking at the admiring eyes around him.

"Lord Danzo, are you alright?"

"Lord Danzo, you are amazing! We have won!"

"Long live Lord Danzo!"

"........."

One person passed it to two, two to three, and the excitement spread throughout the entire battlefield! To be beaten up and still manage to win—who else but their advisor Danzo could do that!

From then on, Danzo broke a record that no one in the ninja world could break: Danzo was beaten by the Raikage from beginning to end in the entire battle, and apart from being bruised and battered, he didn't suffer any internal injuries at all. Moreover, he managed to win a victory despite being beaten so badly!

When this news spread, not only others, but even Konoha's own people found it hard to believe. Shanks, in particular, was stunned for a long time after hearing the news. What was wrong with Danzo? Did he awaken immortality after being beaten up so many times? That's too unbelievable! He remembered that Danzo didn't have this ability in the original work. Could it be a chain reaction caused by his little butterfly? But that's impossible. He didn't change the plot much. Even Nawaki went to great lengths to find divine weapons for him.

If you can't figure it out, ask someone who can. If you know about shoes like this, of course you should ask Snake!

"Great scientist! What's going on with our advisor Danzo? Has he awakened immortality?" Shanks approached Orochimaru, who was staring at a dense pile of data.

"Heh, what immortality? This is just a preliminary fusion after Danzo transplanted the First Hokage's cells. The First Hokage's cells generated a lot of vitality to repair his body. If the Fourth Raikage does this for five minutes again, he will really die." Orochimaru said with a hint of joy in his eyes as he looked at the data.

"There's such a thing? Does that mean there's a second fusion, a third fusion, and finally awakening Wood Release?" Shanks exclaimed in surprise.

"Heh, it's not that easy. One fusion is already difficult enough. This time, he was probably beaten to the brink of death by the Fourth Raikage, and the First Hokage's cells were activated under the crisis. Moreover, if he hadn't been beaten so badly by the Raikage, we might have used the excess life force and positive chakra to repair his body. He might have already turned into a rotten piece of wood. The First Hokage's cells are not so easy to withstand, even with those Sharingan. Unless he has two Mangekyou Sharingan to help him withstand it, but I don't have the Mangekyou Sharingan data in these few pictures, so it's just speculation," Orochimaru shook his head and said regretfully.

307. The candidate to help Danzo mend the pot

"So even if transplanting the first generation's cells can help us survive the first wave, there might still be several more unstable fusion crises later on?" Shanks was dumbfounded; there was such a thing as this.

"According to Danzo's data, that's correct. However, he's currently the first person to successfully transplant the First Hokage's cells. I'm not sure how many times he fused with them, but if Danzo can't find the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, he won't be so lucky next time," Orochimaru said.

"Is it possible that the fusion will awaken Wood Release or something?" Shanks speculated, rubbing his hand. It seems that Yamato, the famous real estate developer in Konoha, awakened a pirated version of Wood Release after surviving a cell transplant. Danzo might have a chance too.

"It's possible, but Danzo is highly unlikely. He still has Sharingan to suppress the First Hokage's cells," Orochimaru said after thinking for a while.

"Sigh! It seems my brother Danzo has really had a lot of troubles." Shanks couldn't help but laugh when he thought about Danzo's arrogant demeanor after he discovered his talent for taking a beating.

"Captain, why don't you try transplanting the First Hokage's cells too? Maybe it will actually work. You're from the Uzumaki clan, so you're related to the First Hokage by bloodline. Plus, your body is strong enough that you might actually be able to pull through." Snake looked at Shanks with sparkling eyes, as if he had an urge to use him as an experimenter.

"No! I don't have that kind of fetish. Not everyone who awakens Wood Release is like Hashirama Senju, and it's not my style. I don't rely on ninjutsu to get ahead." Shanks shrugged. Although many Hashirama Senju were barbarians, their barbaric methods were quite different.

"That's a real shame. Danzo's physical talent was too low, and he was too old when the transplant was performed, so he had no chance of awakening Wood Release," Orochi said regretfully.

"Once you reduce the chances of transplanting the First Generation a bit more, you can talk to Rope Tree. After all, he's your grandson, so the chances of awakening might be higher," Shanks comforted Snake.

“Although Nawaki is his grandson, Nawaki’s talent is very poor and he may not be able to hold on. The only Senju members who have a chance now are Tsunade and Garp.” Orochimaru shook his head.

"Then go for it! Who knows, maybe the Senju clan can awaken Wood Release through you someday." Shanks raised an eyebrow.

...........

Inside the Hokage's office in Konoha, the three giants of Konoha gathered together, staring in disbelief at the intelligence report. They never expected that their childhood friend would pull off such a feat, getting beaten up by the Raikage for a whole day only to inexplicably win!

Hiruzen Sarutobi even suspected that his best friend might have awakened a talent for being incredibly resilient to beatings. He might not have awakened it before because he hadn't been beaten enough, but in the last ten years or so, it was because he had been beaten up so many times that he had awakened it.

If you knew your best buddy had this talent, you shouldn't have held back when you fought as kids. You should have beaten him up as badly as possible. Maybe you could even become a super tank for Konoha!

He knows the importance of a super tank. Look at those who are on the same battlefield as Shanks. Every time there are those large-scale ninjutsu, it's Shanks who helps his teammates absorb the damage. Even so, because Shanks can help his teammates absorb damage, the death rate is much lower. So far, it is estimated that only Onoki's Dust Release can't be withstood by Shanks.

Sakumo Hatake didn't have this kind of skill. Like Minato, he could only rely on his speed to rescue his teammates, and there was nothing he could do if he couldn't manage to do so.

"Hiruzen, let Danzo come back. He's not always so lucky." Although they couldn't become a couple, they were still friends for many years. Koharu Utatane didn't believe that Danzo had really awakened some kind of superhuman resilience. He was lucky to have survived this time, and she didn't want to see another friend of many years disappear.

"...Let's wait a bit. Bringing him back now would be too much of a blow to him. Let's wait a while. Once either Iwagakure or Sunagakure is eliminated, we'll arrange for someone to replace him." Mitokado Homura was still thinking of his comrades. He believed that Danzo's survival was simply a matter of destiny, and they should give his comrades another chance to prove themselves.

"...The Iwa ninja are almost at their breaking point. They've lost so many men trying to kill the Third Raikage, and their morale is at its lowest. It's time for Sakumo and Shikano to launch a decisive battle," Koharu Utatane said after thinking for a while.

"Hmm! It's time. After two years of fighting, the losses to each village are countless. It's time to return to peace." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked out the window, and at the same time, he thought of who would help his good buddy clean up the mess. Since Orochimaru was unwilling to become Hokage, then he could only let his perfect grand-disciple take over.

.......

"Lord Shika, the Hokage has ordered us to have a final battle." Sakumo Hatake looked at the giant rocket after receiving Hiruzen Sarutobi's order.

"...Just a couple of days ago, we received intelligence that the Iwa ninja are also preparing for a decisive battle with us. They can't afford to drag this out any longer. Onoki has sent several thousand men to support them. As long as we destroy their supply line, their manpower will be completely cut off, and things will be much easier for us." Big Cannon pointed to the Kannabi Bridge on the map and said.

“This bridge is a vital supply line for them, and it’s sure to be heavily guarded. Blowing it up won’t be easy. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll take some men.” Hatake Sakumo said, looking at the Kannabi Bridge that the large skyrocket cannon was pointing at.

“No, you’re the commander. You’re too big a target. If they find you’re not there during the Iwa Ninja War, they’ll definitely be alert. Our operation this time is to carry out the major battle and the bridge bombing at the same time, so you can’t leave,” Big Cannon said, shaking his head.

"Lord Sakumo, Lord Shikamo, perhaps someone from our class can do it. I can use the Flying Thunder God Technique; my speed is enough to attract their guards. Kakashi and the others can also blow up the bridge!" Minato said to the two, mainly looking at Sakumo Hatake. After all, if you're going to take someone's son on such a dangerous mission, you need their consent first.

"…Minato's method is good, but you may have to face thousands of Iwa ninja coming to support you. Can you handle it?" Sakumo wasn't worried about his son, after all, he was his son. He went on an S-rank mission at the age of nine. As his son, how could he let him grow up in a greenhouse? However, he was still worried about letting Minato face thousands of Iwa ninja alone. Minato, like him, had the weakness of insufficient chakra, and his stat allocation was even more extreme, all-agility. He didn't want to be like the Raikage, able to withstand the impact of thousands of people.

"Don't worry, Sakumo, it'll be fine. I'm just trying to distract them. If the plan goes smoothly, Kakashi and the others will be able to blow up the Kannabi Bridge soon," Minato said with a smile.

"Let's consider this Kakashi's first A-rank mission after becoming a Jonin. It'll be good for Kakashi to get some training on his own," said Big Cannon.

308. Kakashi finally understood.

"Kakashi, this is a Jonin gift for you!" In the Konoha camp on the battlefield of the Land of Earth, Kakashi officially became a Konoha Jonin today. Obito's World Rin presented Kakashi with a medical kit that she had prepared for a long time. Why did she say she had prepared it for a long time? Because when Hiruzen Sarutobi sent a letter to Sakumo Hatake asking for his consent to Kakashi's promotion to Jonin, Sakumo Hatake hesitated for a long time. He still felt that Kakashi was not mature enough, so he kept delaying. In the end, he finally agreed. Children and grandchildren have their own destiny, and if Kakashi could not become a Jonin before the age of 14, it would be an obstacle for Kakashi to succeed him as the head of the Anbu in the future.

Becoming a Jonin before the age of 14 has been a tradition of Konoha geniuses since Shanks' generation. To become a Jonin, one must become a Jonin before the age of 14. Otherwise, one's words will carry little weight, just like Jiraiya now. Due to the incident involving Tsunade's father, Jiraiya was already over 14 when he became a Jonin. Therefore, in the Jonin circle, Jiraiya has the least influence.

"Thank you!" Kakashi took the medical kit and put it into his ninja tool pouch, then looked at his seemingly best friend Obito with deadpan eyes.

"What are you looking at me for!" Obito glared at Dead Fish Eyes after being attacked. He was already upset to see his rival surpass him and become a Jonin, and now he saw his world Rin giving his rival a gift. He was on the verge of a breakdown, and on top of that, he was attacked by Dead Fish Eyes.

"Where's my gift?" Kakashi shamelessly continued to attack Obito with his deadpan gaze.

"What gift! None!" After saying that, Obito turned his face away, indicating that he didn't want to see him.

"..." Kaden looked up at the sky, wondering what was wrong with his so-called best friend again. His emotions were so volatile. Fine, don't give me a gift then. Do I, the young marshal of the Hatake clan, need your little gift?

"You're all here. Our class just got a mission A, so you guys go back and prepare. We'll meet here later and talk as we walk," Shuimen said to the three of them as soon as he left the camp.

"Wow! An A-rank mission!" Obito exclaimed excitedly.

"Obito, don't get too excited. The higher the level of the mission, the more dangerous it is. So go back and prepare properly. Meet here in half an hour, and I'll tell you the details of the mission." Minato looked at the excited Obito, wondering if he had listened to him...

“This time, our mission is divided into two groups. Kakashi, you and Obito, Rin, one group is responsible for blowing up the Kami-no-Bi Bridge, the main supply line for the Iwa ninja. I will be on the other side to help you draw away the guards and the approaching Iwa ninja. This is Kakashi's first time leading a team since you became a Jonin. Whether you can blow up the bridge or not will determine the outcome of this war, so your mission is very important.” Half an hour later, when the three boys gathered, Minato took out a map and explained to them.

"Understood!" When it was time to carry out a mission, Kadian's dead fish eyes disappeared.

"I'll take you to the vicinity of Kannabi Bridge first, and then we'll split up. I'll lure all the guards there before you go over, but be careful, some Iwa ninja won't be lured away by me." Minato said as he led the three boys on their way.

"Don't worry, Minato-sensei, those Iwa ninja are no match for me!" Obito said with a mysterious confidence.

"........Haha! That's true, but still, be careful." Minato chuckled dismissively. *I'm most worried about you!* Dude! You're all talk and no action, yet you're so inexplicably confident. Looks like you've been tricked too deeply by the teacher and can't escape his clutches.

After the four of them arrived near the Kannabi Bridge on the border, Minato parted ways with them.

After Minato left, Kakashi led the two of them to hide in the bushes near the Kannabi Bridge for two days and two nights.

"Kakashi, the guards must have all been drawn to Minato-sensei. Let's go." Obito couldn't stand it any longer and, sensing the quiet around him, couldn't help but say to Kakashi.

"...Okay, let's move out." After confirming that there was no more movement around, he said. This was the first time he had carried out such an important mission, and he was extremely flustered. If they couldn't blow up the Kannabi Bridge, this war would probably continue for a long time, and even more people would die.

"Haha! I told you, Oishi, three brats really did sneak in." Just as Kakashi and the others were about to act, a voice rang out, and at the same time, Obito, who was next to Rin, was kicked away.

The owner of the voice appeared beside Sekai Rin, holding a kunai to Sekai Rin's neck.

"Little girl, don't move around, or someone will die."

"boom!"

"I never imagined Konoha would be so cunning, using Minato Namikaze to distract us while sending those three brats over to blow up the Kannabi Bridge?" The Iwa ninja named Oishi suddenly appeared and kicked Kakashi.

"Rin!" Obito shouted excitedly as he got up and saw that two Iwa ninjas had bound his world.

"Little girl, it seems your companions are quite worried about you. Let's see if they come to your rescue! Haha!" Daishi laughed loudly, released a smoke bomb, and, along with his companions, took Obito's world away.

"Damn it!" The smoke dissipated, and the two Iwa ninja and his world were gone. Obito roared and was about to give chase.

But after taking only two steps, he was stopped by Kadian. "Where are you going? Our most important task right now is to blow up the bridge."

"Damn it, what did you say? Lin is our comrade, of course I have to go save her." Obito said, shaking off Kakashi's hand.

"But what about our mission? The longer we drag this out, the worse the situation on the battlefield will become." Kadian was finally at a loss when faced with this choice. On one side were his childhood friends, and on the other was the mission. He didn't know which to choose.

"I can't abandon my comrades' lives! If you won't go, I'll go myself!" Obito yelled at Kakashi and chased after the two Iwa ninja, leaving the bewildered Kakashi behind.

"Damn it!" Kakashi gritted his teeth and chased after Obito's retreating figure. Now he finally understood why his father had chosen his comrades over the mission. With his father on the battlefield, things should be alright. Kakashi had finally grown up.

While Kakashi and Obito were chasing two Iwa ninja, Minato was drawing the fire of thousands of Iwa ninja on the other side, throwing kunai with flashy moves that left thousands of ninjas dazed. With each flash, he would take down more than a dozen people, leaving them in the shadows, only a flash of yellow light before nothing happened. No wonder their Tsuchikage was kicked in the kidney by Minato Namikaze.

"Watch out for his kunai! His Flying Thunder God Technique relies on kunai for teleportation!" said a leader of the Iwa ninja, his scalp tingling as he watched the streaks of yellow flashes.

309. Uncle Ban is waiting for his resurrection.

"..." The Iwa ninja behind the leader really wanted to slap him. Everyone knew that, but look at the kunai flying around like a shower of flowers. Look closely, the Konoha ninjas are really rich. The Senju clan has a clan leader who carries four divine weapons, and even this Minato Namikaze is throwing kunai around like they're free.

"Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Three Styles!" With a flamboyant shout, Minato reaped the rewards of more than a dozen Iwa ninja.

The Iwa ninja had just reacted and was about to throw a ninjutsu when the opponent disappeared again. This guy is even harder to fight than the former Raikage. At least the former Raikage always went head-to-head and never dodged.

Minato Namikaze is like an eel; he doesn't fight you head-on at all. He reaps the kills and runs away immediately, and he's incredibly fast. They don't even see his shadow before the ground is littered with his Flying Thunder God kunai. No one knows where he'll teleport to next.

Minato was exhausted after teleporting out. Born a commoner ninja, his body had reached its peak, but his chakra reserves were only average. He could only teleport a dozen or twenty times at most. He didn't have the tough body of the Raikage or Shanks, so he couldn't withstand a kunai.

He vowed that he would one day have a child from the Uzumaki clan, equip him with the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Dango (spiking technique) to outplay these bastards...

Minato saw Iwa ninja cautiously slowing down his advance. His chakra was almost depleted. He turned to look towards the Kannabi Bridge, but the planned explosion still hadn't occurred. He felt a surge of anxiety, fearing that Kakashi and the others had encountered some serious trouble.

Minato was right; Kakashi and his group were indeed in big trouble. Just as Obito caught up with the two Iwa ninja who had taken Rin away, the two Iwa ninja were chatting in a cave, while Rin was tied to a rock behind them.

Obito originally planned to sneak in and rescue Rin, but because he graduated too early and hadn't learned about infiltration in school, he didn't even notice that Oishi's clone was following him. He was still fantasizing about what he would do if Rin offered herself to him after he rescued her.

So, just as he was about to approach Rin, Obito was hit by two Iwa ninjas' massive breasts amidst Rin's despairing gaze.
