Konoha Drunkard

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so fat! I thought Kurama was lying to me!" Shanks exclaimed, as if afraid Shukaku wouldn't hear him.

"Ah! You damned brat, I'm going to fuck you to death and then whip your corpse!"

"Vacuum Jade"

Shukaku spewed a wind ball from its mouth, which hurtled towards Shanks. Shanks sensed the wind ball's trajectory and had already run far away.

"Boom!"

The typhoon ball hit the sand and left a huge crater.

"Hahaha! Nine-Tailed Fox is right. You're just a fat cat who can only talk big. You're completely useless in a fight. You can't even hit a mouse if you just stand there and let me bully you!"

Shanks' mockery grew increasingly vicious.

"Ah! Ah! You bastard, don't mention that Nine-Tails bastard in front of me! You two are both bastards, I'll kill you!" The guardian was furious!

"Tailed Beast Ball!"

"Holy crap!" Shanks saw the black Tailed Beast Ball and realized he'd messed up, so he quickly ran away!

"You stupid fat cat, you can't catch me. You just realized that talking is useless. Come on, let's have a race and see who runs faster." Shanks made a face at Shukaku and quickly ran towards Sunagakure.

"You bastard, don't run away!" Shukaku chased after it with a speed that seemed disproportionate to its large size.

Meanwhile, in the Kazekage Tower of Sunagakure, Shamon was just about to go home after get off work. Recently, the number of deaths of frontline ninjas had been increasing, and he was getting dizzy from being bothered by those old fogies in the higher-ups. Some of the higher-ups were already doubting whether he was a qualified Kazekage. The Daimyo of the Land of Wind also sent people every day to ask when they could win the battle.

Shamon really wanted to turn all those people into puppets. Especially the Daimyo of the Wind and Fire, how did that brainless idiot survive to this day?

A Sand Village ninja rushed in to report, "Lord Kazekage, the guards at the village entrance have been killed. It's estimated that someone has infiltrated the village!"

Upon hearing this, two little devils immediately appeared in Shamon's mind. "Impossible, the One-Tailed Beast has already been successfully sealed; they wouldn't know how to break the seal. Looks like they've been driven mad by those idiots lately."

Shamon immediately ordered, "Your guard squad should thoroughly investigate. Anyone who dares to sneak into the village is generally beyond the capabilities of a chunin."

"Yes, Lord Kazekage!" The Sand Ninja replied and immediately vanished.

"Lord Kazekage, a huge chakra fluctuation is coming from the village entrance, it looks like... it's the One-Tailed Beast!" Not long after the Sand Ninja left, another ninja came and reported in a panic.

"What! Impossible! The One-Tail has been completely sealed!" Shamon immediately tensed up. If the village were to be attacked by the One-Tail again, not only would he be unable to continue as the Kazekage, but most of the village's fighting force was currently on the front lines. If the village's ninjas couldn't stop the One-Tail, he would be a sinner!

"Lord Kazekage, it's the One-Tailed Beast! It's already at the village entrance!" Even without the Sand Ninja saying it, Shamon sensed a large amount of chakra; it was definitely the One-Tailed Beast!

"Damn it! Quick, notify the sealing squad, and the rest of the personnel should evacuate the civilians!" Shamen shouted.

"Yes!"

"Lord Kazekage!" Before the Sand Ninja had even left, another Sand Ninja rushed in.

"What happened again?" Shamen was now in a state of shock.

"The guards in the intelligence room have been killed, and the intelligence room has been ransacked!" the Sand Ninja hurriedly reported!

"What!" Shamen felt that today was the darkest day of his life.

"Hurry to the intelligence room!" Shamon immediately decided. The intelligence room contained far more information than the One-Tailed Beast's rampage in the village. It contained all the personnel information, spy information, and research information on ninjutsu, puppets, and poisons from the village's founding to the present!

Shamen arrived at the intelligence room, which had been ransacked. However, it seemed that some important intelligence was sealed and could not be opened; the other party had taken some spy information.

"Lord Kazekage! We've found the intruder in your office! They've been held back by the guards." The Sand Ninja from the guard squad came over.

"Ah! I'll kill him!" Shamen roared in fury. His attack strategy, which he had just drafted, lay in the office!

As soon as Shamen and his group arrived at the office door, they heard

The clanging sound of blacksmithing.

"Konoha's Supernova, White Fang, you don't need to go back to Konoha. Stay in Sunagakure!" Shamon shouted angrily and took out a sealing scroll.

"Come out, God-given!"

A bizarrely shaped puppet appeared in front of Hatake Sakumo, and Shamon shot out chakra threads from his hands, connecting them to the puppet's joints.

Shamon's hands flew, and the puppet wielded a katana with a green glow on its blade, slashing towards Hatake Sakumo.

The puppet's speed increased, and Hatake occasionally managed to strike it once or twice, but the puppet, made of some unknown material, was completely unharmed.

Just a few minutes later, Hatake Sakumo was already drenched in sweat. It has to be said that fighting a puppeteer is really exhausting. Every part of the puppeteer's puppet is poisonous, and you will be poisoned if you are touched. So you have to concentrate intensely.

At this moment, Sakumo Hatake would rather fight Shanks for ten days and ten nights than fight the Puppet Technique.

"Damn it, if Shanks doesn't come soon, I'm going to die here." Hatake Sakumo's eyes were already blurry. Hatake Sakumo had planned that a surprise attack on the village entrance and the intelligence room would at least delay the Kazekage for five minutes. If he could hold off the Kazekage for another five minutes, Shanks could lure the One-Tailed Beast. Now he realized he had underestimated the Kazekage. Only a little over three minutes had passed, and he was already almost exhausted.

In fact, Sakumo Hatake simply lacked experience in fighting puppets. The puppeteer's greatest strength lies in the puppet itself. All you need to do is cut off the chakra that the puppeteer uses to control the puppet. Sakumo Hatake's desperate attacks on the puppet were completely ineffective.

"Haha, as expected of Konoha's super genius, your skills are truly remarkable. But you'd better die!"

The monk finished speaking and was about to make a move...

"My son Shamon, your father has arrived! Come out and kneel down to pay your respects!" A boastful voice echoed throughout the entire Sunagakure village!

"call!"

Sakumo Hatake breathed a sigh of relief. He jumped out of the window!

Upon hearing this voice, the monk's eyes blazed with fury!

25. Steal some crystals and ask for flowers and add to favorites!

After Sakumo Hatake jumped out of the window, he saw Shanks standing arrogantly on the roof of a house, a dead tree trunk slung over his shoulder in his right hand, with several ninja corpses below. During the war, Shanks killed his opponents with ease.

He saw Sakumo Hatake arrive beside him, panting heavily.

"Why do you look like that? Are monks supposed to be so high-minded?"

“Ah, his puppets are very powerful,” said Sakumo Hatake.

"You fought with the puppeteer's puppet?" Shanks stared at Sakumo Hatake in astonishment.

“…” Sakumo Hatake.

"Damn it, why is Shukaku so slow? We're almost surrounded." Shanks saw the One-Tailed Beast bombarding the buildings.

"Let's go, let's go to One-Tail's side. This fat cat is really no good." Shanks finished complaining and carried Sakumo Hatake towards One-Tail.

"You two brats from Konoha don't need to go. You can both die here." Shamon appeared in front of the two.

"This is troublesome," Shanks thought, looking at the Shamen before him.

"Oh dear, Shamon's son, look at the state of your village now. I feel sorry for your villagers. What kind of Kazekage did you choose? You're completely ignoring them!" Shanks couldn't afford to lose face. Besides, he hadn't lost the argument yet.

"Haha, no matter what you say, today you two will be buried with us Sand Ninja!" Shamon said, taking out two scrolls and throwing them out.

"bang, bang"

Two strangely shaped puppets appeared in front of Shanks and Sakumo Hatake.

"Shanks, put me down and go quickly," Sakumo Hatake said from behind him.

"Why are you speaking such blunt truths? Do you think I, Shanks, am the kind of person who would abandon my teammates? You should rest as soon as possible; I can handle it."

Shamon controlled two puppets to charge forward, but Shanks dodged left and right with his Observation Haki, his right foot turning pure black as he aimed at the head of one of the puppets.

"Super Strength Armor: Athlete's Foot!"

"boom"

One of the puppets was kicked to pieces.

"Oh? So this is the special taijutsu mentioned in the Cloud Village's data? It's indeed impressive. But you can kick and shatter a few of my puppets," Shamon said, then threw out a large bunch of scrolls.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Countless puppets emerged, though not as exaggerated as Sasori's thousand-man army later, there were still several hundred of them.

"Damn, it's just a bunch of junk toys. I thought it was something special." Shanks acted immediately.

"Super Strength Armed: World Wave"

Shanks charged towards the puppets, using the momentum of each kick to propel himself towards another. With so many puppets and a person on his back, Shanks began to pant. After kicking and destroying about 100 puppets, the One-Tailed Beast finally arrived.

"Ah! Shamen and those damned brats, die!"

Shukaku charged straight at him with a Tailed Beast Ball.

Shanks ignored Shamon's puppets and simply hid far away.

"Boom!"

The surrounding buildings and Shamon's puppets were blasted into dust by the Tailed Beast Ball! The ninjas who had been there earlier were ordered by Shamon to stay far away, otherwise they would have suffered heavy casualties.

After seeing the arrival of the one-tailed beast, Shamon stopped holding back.

"Come out, the funeral is in ten days."

"Ten enormous black puppets surrounded the One-Tailed Beast." Shamon was too preoccupied with Shanks and Sakumo Hatake to care about anything else; sealing the One-Tailed Beast was the most important thing.

Shanks saw that there were ten monster puppets, each about the same size as the One-Tailed Beast, and sighed inwardly. "As expected, every Kage has a backup plan."

"We can retreat now. Sunagakure has suffered heavy losses. Our mission is complete." Hatake Sakumo had almost recovered.

"Wait a bit longer, let's see what power these ten monsters of Shamen have, otherwise we'll be in trouble if we put them on the battlefield later," Shanks said.

Sakumo Hatake nodded as well; he had witnessed the puppeteer's prowess.

Shamon was controlling ten giant puppets to attack the One-Tailed Beast, but it was all in vain. Tailed beasts are made of chakra and are completely immune to the poison on the puppets. The ten puppets were also slow and, apart from being more durable, were of little use. They could hold off the One-Tailed Beast, but not the Two-Tailed Beast. The power of the Tailed Beast Balls also varied depending on the number of tails a tailed beast possessed.

Sweating profusely, Shamen manipulated the puppet, dragging a tail, and shouted.

"Sealing team, hurry!"

Shamon was also struggling. He had lost five giant puppets, which he had created at great cost. Sunagakure only had ten of them, and now he had lost five.

The sealing team quickly arrived to prepare for the sealing.

"Sakumo, do you think we should steal some crystals?" Shanks asked, seeing Shamon looking tired and focusing on controlling the giant puppet that was dragging its tail.

Although Hatake Sakumo didn't understand what "stealing the crystal" meant, the two still had a tacit understanding. Hatake Sakumo thought for a moment, nodded, and decided to retreat immediately if the first attack failed; even if he couldn't kill the enemy, being seriously injured would be better.

"Dry," Shanks said, pulling out the deadwood.

Armament Haki wrapped around the dead tree.

The short sword in Sakumo Hatake's hand gleamed with a white light.

The two exchanged a glance.
