Konoha Drunkard

......

At the same time, Sakumo Hatake had already led the main force from the Land of Earth battlefield back to the village, where they were warmly received by the villagers. Two people in the group were not in a good mood: Kakashi, who was now only showing one eye, and Rin, Obito's world.

Especially Kakashi, whose best friend from childhood sacrificed himself to save him and gave him his Sharingan, tears welled up in his eyes again.

"Don't be sad. Obito didn't give you his eyes so you could continue to be sad and upset, but so you could inherit his will to preserve the village." Sakumo Hatake said to his son, who was in a bad mood and whose eyes were starting to redden.

"Understood," Kadian said calmly.

"Kakashi, are you alright?" The girl with colored contact lenses looked at her future husband with concern beside him. Although only one of his eyes was visible, she felt he seemed to be getting more and more handsome.

Asuma was shedding tears behind the girl with colored contact lenses, and I felt like crying too. Why is no one here to comfort me?

"Asuma, why are you crying too? Are you missing Obito too?" Green-skinned Guy asked curiously.

"...Yeah, back in school I was closest to Obito!" Asuma looked at the green-skinned Guy speechlessly. You big mouth, I need Red to comfort me, not you glowing green.

"It seems so, huh? You and Obito used to whisper to each other all the time back then." Green-skinned Kai stroked his chin and recalled.

"..." Asuma was too lazy to talk to this crazy guy, because he was the only one who was in the same boat as Asuma.

"But haven't you noticed? Kakashi seems to have gotten even more handsome, even though only one eye is showing now." Ebisu looked at Kakashi sandwiched between Rin and the girl with the colored contact lenses, filled with envy. Why isn't that man me!

"It seems that's really true, Asuma. Should we wear a mask from now on?" Genma Shiranui looked at Kakashi and realized that Kakashi seemed to be saying the same thing as Ebisu.

"...You guys chat, I'm going home first." Asma looked at his two underlings in despair. What the hell was their intelligence? He was really afraid that if he stayed with them for too long, he would become stupid too.

"Father, I'll go to the Land of Lightning battlefield tomorrow too." Kakashi suddenly said to Sakumo Hatake in front of him. Since he was going to work together for his best friend, he couldn't just stand there doing nothing. Going to the battlefield to protect the village was the best choice.

"...Your situation is complicated, it depends on how the Hokage arranges it." Sakumo Hatake said to his son. He had never encountered such a situation before. He had always had a smooth life, and even his best friend hadn't died... He really didn't know how to comfort his son.

And most importantly, it's that Sharingan. He's not at ease until this is resolved, fearing his son's eyes will be gouged out by the Uchiha clan in the middle of the night...

The welcoming ceremony ended after Hiruzen Sarutobi's long and tedious speech. While everyone went home, Sakumo Hatake took his son to the Hokage's office to discuss the Sharingan issue. Sakumo was willing to compensate the Uchiha clan for this, but the former Uchiha elder had shifted the blame to the Uchiha clan leader's father, who was still on the battlefield in the Land of Water and hadn't returned. Hiruzen Sarutobi's letter hadn't received a reply, causing him a major headache. Didn't he know that waiting was the most painful thing? Even a simple reply would have been helpful.

Actually, it wasn't that the second male lead's father didn't want to reply to Hiruzen Sarutobi, but rather that he was also having a headache. Many of the people he brought along disagreed with the idea of ​​their Sharingan being leaked. This was the will of the people, and he couldn't do anything about it. Now, before the war even started, he was trying his best to brainwash his own people. A two-tomoe Sharingan was useless to the Uchiha clan. Even if they retrieved it, they would just seal it away in their ancestral land. The three-tomoe Sharingan had a different use. Many Uchiha people would keep the eyes of their deceased relatives. It was fine for the eyes to circulate within their own clan, but it was forbidden for them to be shared outside. Although many people didn't know why it couldn't be shared outside, it had been the clan rule for hundreds of years, so they followed the clan rule.

The second male lead's father was extremely annoyed. Looking at this group of silly bird tribesmen, he really didn't know what to say. What a cheap deal it was to exchange a two-magatama for the favor of the head of the Dark Division. Even if his son were to join the Dark Division later, it wouldn't be a problem.

It's important to understand that ever since the Second Hokage established the Anbu, the Uchiha clan has had no part in it. Various clans were represented in the Anbu, including several members of the Hyuga clan. The Uchiha clan, however, was relegated to guarding only their small territory, the Guard Division. The second male lead's father really wanted to give his nominal grandfather a good scolding. For a department that offended others, he had led so many clansmen to fight against Iwagakure. He couldn't understand how such a brain-dead grandfather could have such an outstanding descendant like him.

313. Do the Mist Ninjas be able to tell fortunes?

"Uchiha clan leader, as an excellent clan leader, you should know that no matter how you calculate it, the Uchiha clan is in a losing position, right? The double tomoe are useless to you. To be honest, even if you auctioned them off in the ninja world, not many people would buy them. No one other than a member of your Uchiha clan can match these eyes. Wearing them would just add another chakra-consuming giant. To be honest, Kakashi wearing the two tomoe would actually be a burden to him. If it weren't for his best friend's dying wish, I would have made him take them off. The Hatake clan is known for being cowards." For his best friend, Shanks always goes all out. For example, right now, he brought two bottles of cheap liquor to the second male lead's father's tent to freeload and use his deception skills on the side.

When Shanks first arrived in the Land of Water, he immediately sensed something was wrong upon seeing the second male lead's father. Then, he activated his Observation Haki, and wow! No wonder he's Itachi and the second male lead's father; they both activated their Mangekyou Sharingan upon seeing their good friend's death. Their talent is truly outstanding.

"Lord Shanks, many members of our Uchiha clan disagree with letting the Sharingan leak out, and I'm in a difficult position." The second male lead's father looked at Shanks with a troubled expression. Of course, he knew that this deal would be incredibly profitable for the Uchiha clan, but they were all born with pride, and it was already a miracle that an oddball like Obito Uchiha would occasionally appear. Moreover... he only just learned that there was such a person in their Uchiha clan. He graduated at the age of five and awakened the two tomoe during the war. Although the time he awakened the Sharingan was neither early nor late, and his talent was just average, what could he do? He was the best friend of Kakashi, the genius of Konoha. The second male lead's father was having a terrible headache because of him. Those three bastards in the clan had dumped the blame on him, and as the clan head, he couldn't refuse.

"Look at what you're saying! As the most outstanding clan leader in hundreds of years, how could they possibly disagree with your decision? It's all for the good of the clan! It's just a double tomoe, not two. Rules are made by people. The Uchiha clan leader who made this rule hundreds of years ago might have been considering the clan's interests, but times have changed. Think about it, what would the Uchiha get if they insisted on taking back those Sharingan? Nothing but a useless double tomoe Sharingan. If they agreed and gave it to Kakashi, the situation would be different. There's a saying, 'Face is mutual'!" Shanks picked up a bottle of Uchiha sake, opened it, and chugged it down. He really didn't believe that the second male lead's father could withstand the combined attack of deception and flattery.

"Alright, I can decide to leave Obito Uchiha's Sharingan in Kakashi, but I hope the village will also agree to let me personally teach Shisui, Haru's son." The second male lead's father said after a moment's thought, mainly because he'd been flattered by Shanks, especially that phrase about the most outstanding clan leader in the past six months—it sounded incredibly appealing. After Madara Uchiha defected from Konoha, he was the only one to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan; how could he not be outstanding!

"No problem. You and Jasmine are good brothers, and it's better if you teach her the Sharingan!" Shanks said indifferently after hearing what the second male lead's father said. Just look at Haruko's teaching ability to know. Although Haruko's talent is very ordinary, Shanks is probably at the level of Sakura Haruno, although he doesn't have Sakura Haruno's halo.

If he hadn't learned Mito's Yin Seal and the medical ninjutsu developed by Tsunade, he would still be the nominal vice president of Konoha Hospital, but in reality, he would just be the head of the hospital's miscellaneous tasks department!

So even with great talent, it all depends on the teacher. Didn't the savior only start to take off after meeting Jiraiya? And the second male lead only started to evolve after meeting Orochimaru.

It's not a problem that Shisui was taught by the second male lead's father. After all, Xiaochun and he are good brothers! Given the second male lead's father's character, he wouldn't push Shisui into a fire pit.

After finishing their important business, Shanks went on a drinking spree in the Uchiha tent, determined not to stop until he had finished all the good wine the Uchiha had brought. The two Uchiha clansmen behind him were dumbfounded. They had received aristocratic education from the Uchiha clan since childhood and had never seen anyone drink like this before. They didn't even use cups; they just chug the whole bottle.

In the end, the Uchiha's boldness triumphed over Shanks' drinking capacity; after downing dozens of bottles, Shanks collapsed in his seat, unable to get up.

"Clan leader! The Mist Ninja have launched an attack!" Just as the second male lead's father was about to have Shanks sent back, a clansman rushed over to report.

"puff!"

The second male lead's father spat out the wine in his mouth. Was the Mist Ninja fortune teller? Their leader had just passed out from drinking, and now, of all times, they launched an attack! Moreover, Jiraiya wasn't even in the main camp, and Konoha's reinforcements hadn't arrived yet. With just a little over ten thousand men plus some wounded and disabled soldiers, what chance did they have?

Even if he came with the Mangekyou Sharingan, he couldn't defeat 40,000 people. Didn't you see how the former Raikage was exhausted to death by 10,000 men?

"Lord Shanks? Lord Shanks!" The second male lead's father called out to Shanks twice, but apart from responding with his snoring, there was no other response.

"What should we do, clan leader? Everyone is already assembled."

The clansmen who were reporting looked at the second male lead's father. Even he, who always shouted that he could fight five people at once, was now weak in the knees. Shouting slogans was one thing, but now, let alone fighting five, he would be weak in the knees even if he fought three.

The red-haired old man who led them to victory against all odds back then is now drunk! What the hell? He knew he shouldn't have brought alcohol to the battlefield. Look at him now, look what's happened! The leader is passed out drunk!

"...You two help Lord Shanks out, hopefully his influence is big enough!" the second male lead's father said with a headache.

The second male lead's father, along with two Uchiha clansmen, helped Shanks arrive at the camp. More than 10,000 Konoha ninjas who were still capable of fighting had already assembled.

"Uchiha clan chief, what happened to my teacher?" Hiashi Hyuga looked at Shanks, who was being supported by two Uchiha clan chiefs, and could still hear faint snoring.

"...Lord Shanks is drunk, so we had to help him over. Hopefully, his influence is enough to make the Mist Ninjas weak in the knees!" said the second male lead's father, rubbing his temples.

"......This is troublesome! Maybe we should retreat first. Jiraiya-sama isn't here either. Let's wait until the teacher sobers up." Hizashi said helplessly. Who else but his homeroom teacher could be so unreliable as to get drunk during a battle? Doesn't he know that ninjas are forbidden from drinking, especially during a battle?

"...This is already the border of our Land of Fire. If we retreat any further, something bad will happen. Let's find a way to wake up the teacher. The Mist Ninja will probably be here in about half an hour." Hiashi, as the clan head, has more to consider than he thinks. If they continue, the reputation of the Hyuga clan will be damaged, and all of their father's sacrifices during World War II will have been in vain.

314. As expected, he's the toughest man.

"The Hyuga clan head is right. Now we can only try to sober up Lord Shanks." The second male lead's father also agreed with Hiashi's statement. The Uchiha clan never runs away before a fight even starts. Where would their reputation as the number one clan in the ninja world be?

"when!!"

"Ouch! Teacher! The Mist Ninja are attacking! Wake up!" Although Inuzuka Tsuru has become a mother, she is still a tough woman. As soon as the second male lead's father finished speaking, she punched Shanks on the head. However, Shanks' Armament Haki automatically protected him, and his fist swelled up.

"Huh?...Guards! Bring me my forty-meter-long sword! Huff...Uchiha sake is really good. Huff huff huff!" Shanks didn't even open his eyes, mumbled a couple of sentences, and then started snoring again.

"..." A large, fat crow flew overhead. Everyone looked up at the sky, wondering what the hell they were going to do. Their leader was so drunk he was practically unresponsive; look at Inuzuka Tsuru's swollen fist—it was almost as powerful as the Akimichi clan's Expansion Technique...

"Hiss! What do we do? Hizashi, you guys use pressure point techniques, why don't you try Gentle Fist!" Inuzuka Tsuru said to Hizashi, clutching his swollen fist.

"Hmm!... Gentle Fist 108 Palms!" Although it was somewhat rebellious and went against the will of the Hyuga clan, Hizashi was not one to hold back at crucial moments, venting the resentment he had accumulated over the years.

"Clap clap clap clap........."

"Huff huff huff... Girl, are you a newbie? A little harder... You're not hitting the right pressure points... Call your boss out here... Why are you giving me a newbie a massage... huff huff!"

After the 108 strikes, Shanks still treated Hizashi like a massage girl, just like before.

"..." Everyone was stunned! This guy's got nothing wrong, and he's treating her like a massage girl?! This isn't a bathhouse! This is a battlefield!

"...Damn it! Gentle Fist Six Hundred and Sixty-Six Palms!" Even the most composed Hyuga couldn't hold back anymore. It was one thing if nothing happened, but to treat their dignified Gentle Fist like a massage technique was an insult to Hyuga Hyuga and the Hyuga clan. Most importantly, it was like treating him like a massage girl...

"Clap clap clap clap clap..."

Another series of slapping sounds followed. Each time Hizashi slapped Shanks, the slapped area would automatically turn black. Hizashi felt as if he was hitting metal, which was incredibly hard. After slapping 666 times, both of his hands were as swollen and bloated as Inuzuka Claw's fists.

"Hoo hoo... This girl's technique is pretty good... Give me a good massage... There will be a tip... hoo hoo."

Shanks felt incredibly comfortable after being patted, and mumbled in a daze.

"........No! Teacher's body is too stiff!" Hizashi gave up. Both of his hands were swollen, and he wouldn't be able to play when the Mist Ninja arrived.

...Another large crow flew overhead, and everyone could tell from those swollen, fat hands that Lord Shanks was indeed tough—even drunk, he was still tough! Six hundred and sixty-six strikes of the Gentle Fist had landed, and the force was still just right...

"......If all else fails, let's just throw the teacher into a bunch of Mist Ninja. I bet the Mist Ninja will be happier to see him drunk than to have beaten us..." Inuzuka Tsuru said, clutching his fist. Damn it, we've already lost two combatants before the fight even started. Let him wreak havoc on the enemy.

"........."

Riji and the second male lead's father exchanged a glance, confirming their agreement: this was a good idea! Since they couldn't wake him up anyway, they might as well waste the enemy's explosive tags or shurikens.

Soon, Hozuki's leader and Minazuki's leader arrived with an army of 40,000. Seeing the red-haired man with his head down, they were almost scared to death.

"Konoha's Red...Hair! Ha...haha! I never thought I'd get to spar with the famous Konoha's Red Hair! It's a pleasure!" In the ninja world, it's a tradition to never lose a fight but to always have a good tongue! Even if you're panicking inside, you still have to say the right things.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...whoosh whoosh!"

"The Red-Haired Shanks of Konoha is indeed domineering. He dares to fight against our 40,000 people with so few. Even the former Raikage was exhausted to death with only 10,000 men. I wonder how long you, who are on par with him, can last." Seeing how much fun Hozuki's leader was having, the leader of Minazuki chimed in.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...whoosh whoosh!"

"Clan leader, this red-haired man from Konoha seems to be asleep. I think I heard him snoring," a clansman behind the leader of the Minazuki clan whispered.

"No way? We're preparing for war, is he really that unreliable?" said the leader of the Hozuki clan.

"It seems so. Look, there are two other people next to him who seem to be supporting him!" said the person in charge of the Water Moon Sect after observing for a while.

"Holy crap! Isn't this looking down on us? Brothers, kill them!" Hozuki's leader looked at the situation and it seemed to be true. He said angrily, but he was secretly overjoyed. The book was right, today was indeed a good day to go out and fight.

Before the battle even started, Konoha's super boss fell asleep. It's truly a blessing for the Great Mist Village!

"Throw the teacher over there!" Inuzuka Tsuru shouted at the two Uchiha who were supporting Shanks as a group of Mist Ninja rushed over.

"boom!"

Even without Inuzuka Tsurugi saying that the two Uchiha knew what to do, with such a large group of people rushing in, they had to free their hands to fight in order to save their own lives, so they simply threw Shanks far away, crashing him into the crowd.

"..." The Mist Ninja were dumbfounded. What was going on in Konoha? Looking at Shanks, who was lying on the ground in the middle of them snoring, they had already abandoned their leader to the enemy. Were they planning to give up?

"Haha! They've given up on Konoha's Shanks! Get out of the way! Today I'm going to take this demon's life!" Hozuki's leader said excitedly. He couldn't help but be excited at the thought of killing the legendary ninja of the ninja world, Konoha's Shanks. He was determined to become the next Mizukage!

"Ding!"

Hozuki, the leader of the gang, took a kunai and stabbed it into Shanks' neck. The sound of metal striking metal was heard as soon as the kunai hit his body.

"As expected of the toughest man, his body even automatically defends itself while he's asleep. Well then, how about this?" Seeing that the kunai was ineffective, the leader of the Hozuki clan took a katana from his henchman and slashed down with all his might. "Fifth Mizukage! Here I come!"

"Ding!"

The legendary sound of blacksmithing echoed once again.

"what?"

The leader of the Hozuki clan was shocked to see the half-broken katana in his hand. "Damn it, even the katana is broken, yet he's completely unharmed."

"Let me do it! Thousand Kill Water Fly!"

Minazuki, the leader, formed hand seals, and numerous ice senbon appeared around him, flying densely towards the sleeping Shanks.

"Ding Ding Ding..."

The ice shattered, but Shanks was still Shanks, without a single scratch except for his clothes getting wet.

Whether it was the Mist Ninja or the Leaf Village, they just watched as the two leaders took turns attacking Shanks, sometimes even attacking together when they lost their temper.

A strange scene unfolded on the battlefield: amidst tens of thousands of people, neither side engaged in combat. Instead, they watched as two angry middle-aged men in the center of the crowd relentlessly trampled on a drunken, sleeping, red-haired middle-aged man, seemingly intent on killing him.
