Konoha Drunkard

"One-Sword Style: White Fang Pursuit"

“…”

Two beams of light, one black and one white, flashed by.

"Kage-sama, be careful!" shouted a Sand Ninja from a short distance away.

The monk heard the warning, but it was already too late.

"Ah!" Shamen screamed in agony. Two knives, one black and one white, pierced Shamen's chest simultaneously, one in front and one behind.

"Retreat!" Sakumo Hatake shouted.

The two men simultaneously drew their swords and rushed towards the village entrance.

"Ah! Stop chasing! Come and help seal it!" Shamon endured the excruciating pain while controlling the puppet. His vision began to blur, and the eyes of the Sand Ninja present filled with tears. Suppressing their grief, they unleashed a barrage of ninjutsu at the One-Tailed Beast.

"Hahaha! Shamon, you were actually killed by two brats, hahaha, you two can die now!" At this point, One-Tailed Fox was only good at talking, and its body slowly went into Bunpuku's stomach.

"Ah! I'm probably the most unsuccessful Kazekage in Sunagakure, but as long as I'm still Kazekage, I'll swear to protect the village with my life, so... One-Tail, go in!" Shamon desperately controlled the five puppets.

"Ah! You bunch of bastards, I'll get my revenge one day!!!!"

After the seal was successfully sealed, Shamen fell to the ground.

"Kazekage-sama!"

"Kazekage-sama!"

A recent Sand Ninja hugged Shamon.

"I...I will inform Lady Chiyo to return and take charge after I die...Sunagakure...Sunagakure...is defeated!...I...I'm sorry, First Hokage..." After Shamon finished speaking, he fell silent.

"Kazekage-sama!" "Kazekage-sama..."

Every Sand Shinobi was in tears.

"Send someone to inform Lady Chiyo!" a Sand Ninja from the guard squad cried out sadly!

..........

Shanks and Sakumo Hatake hadn't escaped the Land of Wind yet and were resting in a cave, exhausted.

"Damn it, if my second uncle doesn't give me an SSS-level bounty when I get back, I'll block his door every day!" Shanks said smugly, his face still pale.

Sakumo Hatake clenched his fists tightly. Although he was exhausted, the thought of the two of them killing the Second Kazekage made him realize that the result was the most important thing, regardless of the process.

After resting for a day, the two quickly entered the Land of Rivers. A few days later, they encountered several groups of Sand Ninja. Relying on Shanks' Observation Haki, they hid and hid along the way.

At this moment, the entire ninja world was shocked! Shanks, the Red-Haired Shanks, and Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, once again infiltrated Sunagakure and released the One-Tailed Beast. While the Second Kazekage was fighting the One-Tailed Beast, they launched an assassination and killed the Second Kazekage, Shamon, causing huge losses to Sunagakure and forcing them to surrender.

Shanks, the Red-Haired Shanks, and Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, are legendary ninja. These two are practically nightmares for Jinchuriki. Every major thing they do is related to Tailed Beasts!

"Haha! Congratulations, Lord Hatake! Sakumo's White Fang of Konoha is now famous throughout the ninja world! Lord Hatake has truly trained a great genius!" On the battlefield of the Land of Lightning, Hatake Ito's hands trembled so much upon seeing this news that he almost dropped the scroll on the ground. It was too damn exciting! The genius boy of my Hatake clan had killed the Second Kazekage (I'm automatically ignoring Shanks). Hearing this group of people praising Hatake, he remained expressionless, but inside he was already ecstatic.

"Lord Kima, congratulations! Your cousin is now the famous Shanks of Konoha! Lord Mito, you've truly done a great job raising him..." Senju Kima didn't have many thoughts on the matter, and simply thanked him sincerely! He was also quite surprised. He knew that his cousin had been clever and eccentric since childhood, but he hadn't expected him to do such a big thing this time. Just looking at the intelligence reports, it didn't seem like much, but to lure the Tailed Beasts to Sunagakure and then fight Shamon until the Tailed Beasts entered the battlefield, every step was fraught with danger. Shamon was no pushover; he was the famous founder of puppetry.

When Tobirama Senju saw the information in Konoha, he almost cried out, "These two brats are amazing! I only told them to lure the Tailed Beasts and cause chaos in Sunagakure, but they actually managed to take down Shamon!" Tobirama was in a great mood, a faint smile on his face that terrified the ANBU hiding in the shadows.

"Go, spread this information widely throughout the village," Tobirama Senju summoned an ANBU member.

"Yes"

The next day, news spread throughout the village that Konoha's two supernovas had infiltrated Sunagakure and assassinated the Second Kazekage, leading to Sunagakure's surrender.

26. Uchiha is truly resilient – ​​“Seeking flowers!” “Seeking favorites!”

"Grandma, is it true that Shanks and Hatake killed the Second Kazekage?" Tsunade ran over to Mito from the Senju camp and asked.

"Ah, your second grandfather just told me, it's true." Mito picked up Tsunade and patted her head.

"Wow! Shanks is that strong? Then how come he can't beat me usually?" Tsunade asked skeptically. (Shanks: "That's because I don't hit women...")

"Haha, that's because our Tsunade is even more powerful," Mito laughed.

...

At this moment, Shanks and Sakumo Hatake, having taken down several waves of minions sent by Sunagakure, finally made their way back to the Konoha camp on the border of the Land of Fire!

"Haha! Our two supernovas are back. If you hadn't come back, we would have gone to the Land of Rivers to find you." Hyuga Tenjo, the head of the Hyuga clan, came out to greet them with several other clan heads.

"What happened to Uncle Hyuga? Why are you so happy?" Shanks and Sakumo Hatake were unaware that their assassination had shocked the ninja world.

Hyuga looked up at them, who were full of curiosity. "Don't you know? Because you successfully assassinated the Second Kazekage and lured the One-Tailed Beast to Sunagakure, causing massive destruction, Sunagakure has surrendered."

"Oh, so that's what it is. It's nothing. The Second Kazekage isn't anything special, hahahahahahaha!!" Shanks had no idea what modesty meant.

"...If I had known, I wouldn't have said it." Hinata Tensho was speechless.

"..." a group of family patriarchs.

The flag-shaped tree stands tall and majestic, gazing at the sky.

"You must be tired too. Go and rest first, and come back to Konoha with us tomorrow," the Inuzuka clan chief said, changing the subject as he saw the two men dressed in somewhat disheveled clothes.

"Alright, we haven't slept in a long time, thank you all for your help!" Hatake Sakumo was still very polite.

The elders of the family shook their heads with smiles. They were overjoyed. Although they had suffered losses in this battle, the losses were relatively small compared to those on other battlefields.

I didn't see the Uchiha clan and Iwagakure fighting fiercely. The Second Tsuchikage, personally overseeing the battle, was furious at the sight of the Uchiha's rage. The Uchiha clan was on the verge of collapse, but for the honor of being the number one clan in the ninja world, they gritted their teeth and persevered.

The Land of Lightning was relatively peaceful, mainly because the deer from the Ino-Shika-Cho trio are quite clever! Plus, Hatake Itō has a stable personality and is unlikely to cause trouble. The Senju clan doesn't have the same snobbish attitude as the Uchiha, so the Land of Lightning was the most stable, although it suffered the most casualties.

On the other hand, their Wind Kingdom, after two major battles, now that the Kazekage is dead, they can go back and recover slowly.

...

Inside the tent, Shanks lay on the bed, unable to sleep. He hadn't expected that because of him, Hatake Sakumo would prematurely earn the title of "White Fang of Konoha" in the First Shinobi World War. He wondered if Sakumo would be able to accept the misunderstandings that followed. After all, the Hatake clan were known for their rigid thinking. Even Kakashi had drifted through life for over a decade, let alone Sakumo, who had been subjected to the inflexible teachings of Hatake Itō for so long.

"Sigh! Let's just take it one step at a time." Shanks had no choice. Everyone in the Naruto world is stubborn, or rather, they all have their own ninja way. When they find that the ninja way they've upheld for so many years is being scorned, it's like being worse than dead. There's no such thing as "better to live a miserable life than die a good death" here. If there's something even more despised...

.......

The next day, Shanks and Sakumo Hatake were in the returning group.

"Are they the Red-Haired Shanks and the White Fang of Konoha? So imposing!" - Hyuga Extra A

"Yeah, if I ever got a title, it would be worth dying for." - Inuzuka Mob (Extra B)

"Don't even think about it. Those two adults were only 9 years old when they killed the Second Kazekage. What were you doing when you were 9?" - Inuzuka Mob (C)

“.............” Oil Girl Extras Group.

Shanks, listening to these words from the group, stood tall, chest out, stomach in, and buttocks tucked in, looking like he was the one they were talking about. Sakumo Hatake pretended to look around, feigning ignorance.

We arrived at the village safely.

"I'm coming!"

Tobirama Senju, along with a group of villagers and ninjas, was outside welcoming the returning party from the Land of Wind.

After Shanks and Sakumo Hatake entered the village.

"Red Hair in Leafy Leaves" and "White Teeth in Leafy Leaves"

The villagers shouted loudly, and Shanks walked along waving, displaying the demeanor of a leader reviewing troops in his previous life.

Sakumo Hatake was much more restrained; although his fists were clenched tightly and trembling, he was only smiling.

A group of ninjas were chatting not far away.

"Haose, Konoha's Red-Haired Shanks and Konoha's White Fang are both your students, right? I really envy you for teaching two super geniuses."

"Haha! It's nothing. I just taught them how to train. It was all their own hard work." That's right, the ninja called Hao Se was Shanks and Hatake Sakumo's homeroom teacher back then. Because he taught two Konoha geniuses, he was always praised by the school's teachers and clan ninjas!

"Shanks! Shanks!"

Shanks suddenly heard a childish voice, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Tsunade waving at him from Haruko's arms.

Shanks went over and took her, pinching her little cheeks. "Did you miss me, Tsunade?"

"Hmm, when are you going to assassinate the Tsuchikage? You can kill the Kazekage, but I'm even better than you. I want to go with you to assassinate the Tsuchikage!" Tsunade said without any boasting.

"Ah, hahaha! You're still young and easily get lost. When you grow up and can read a map, shall we go assassinate the Tsuchikage? (Go dig up his grave)" Shanks said with a laugh.

.......

When the returning team arrived at the Hokage Building, Tobirama Senju gave another long speech about loving Konoha and longing for Konoha. After that, everyone went back to their own homes and found their own mothers!

Rewards for meritorious service will not be given until the war is completely over.

After spending some time together, Shanks and Haruko returned to the hospital. Currently, there are only a few people in Konoha Hospital who know medical ninjutsu, and apart from Koharu Utatane, everyone else is a Chunin. As Koharu Utatane's disciple, Haruko is considered a high-ranking member of the hospital, so she helps arrange everything, big and small.

Shanks and Tsunade returned to the Senju camp, where Tsunade's mother, Miho, had prepared a large meal and was waiting for them with Mito. Tsunade's mother was a typical noblewoman from the Land of Fire—gentle, kind, and amiable. Despite being a princess of the Land of Fire, she didn't possess any of the flaws often seen in a daimyo. It must be said, noblewomen receive excellent educations!

"Aunt, Sister-in-law Miho!" Shanks carried Tsunade into Mito's house and saw the two people inside and a table full of dishes.

"Wow! Auntie's cooking is getting better and better!" Shanks said while eating.

"This was made by your sister-in-law Miho. So you mean my previous cooking wasn't good?" Mito patted Shanks's head.

"No, it's just that we've been eating soldier's rations every day, and it's been a long time since I've had Auntie and Sister-in-law Meihui's cooking, so I can't tell the difference right away," Shanks quickly explained.

"By the way, I heard that the Uchiha clan and Iwagakure are fighting quite fiercely. How is it going in the Land of Lightning?" Shanks changed the subject.

"The Land of Lightning is alright. Don't let his burly appearance fool you; the Second Raikage is a smart man. Now that we've won on the Land of Wind's side, if the Land of Earth also wins, they'll definitely send someone to negotiate. If we continue like this or wait for the Land of Water to get involved, things will get complicated. So, we still need to see what happens on the Land of Earth's battlefield." Mito, being from the Sengoku period, had a very clear understanding of the situation.

"I just don't understand why the Second Tsuchikage seems determined to fight the Uchiha clan to the death. The Second Iwakage doesn't seem like someone who acts impulsively." Mito was also somewhat surprised by the situation in the Land of Earth.

Not to mention Mito, even Tobirama Senju and the Kage of the major ninja villages were astonished. The Second Tsuchikage seemed to be on edge this time. He had already fought six battles with the Uchiha clan and looked like he was going to annihilate them.

Shanks chuckled to himself and then told Mito the story of the Second Iwagakure ninja and his disciple Onoki, shifting the blame to the Land of Wind: "I saw some information in the Kazekage's information room in Sunagakure. It's said that when the Second Tsuchikage came to Konoha with his disciple to discuss an alliance, they happened to run into Madara Uchiha, and ended up getting a severe beating and a thorough humiliation. At first, I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems to be true."

"Hahaha! I never knew the Second Tsuchikage had this history. This was the only time Madara Uchiha did something decent, but he really screwed over the Uchiha clan." Mito laughed loudly.

"I reckon the Uchiha clan will behave themselves for a while after this war," Shanks remarked.

It's good that the Uchiha clan asked the village for help this time. If they hadn't, they would have been wiped out. No matter how strong the Uchiha clan is, can they really take on a great ninja village?

"I estimate the Uchiha clan won't be able to hold out for more than a month. Giving up their pride is better than being wiped out," Mito said.

27. The Land of Earth is a tragedy! "Please give me flowers!" "Please add this to your favorites!"

In September of Konoha Year 13, another major event shocked the ninja world.
