Konoha Drunkard

"Probably! Let's go take a look. I want to see who's so bold as to dare to steal from our Konoha Red-Haired's house!" A villager emerged from the house carrying two butcher knives. With a thick beard and a somewhat dark and stout build, he truly had the air of a hero.

"That's right, let's see who's such a bastard, daring to cause trouble in Konoha!" The surrounding villagers were also infected by the spirit of the burly villagers, and they all took out weapons from their homes, including kitchen knives, folding stools, hoes, and everything else they could find.

"Wait, I'm going home to get a knife!" An elderly woman saw everyone around her carrying a weapon and couldn't be left behind, so she hurried home. However... the old woman was far too old; she usually needed help crossing the street, so she slowly made her way home.

"Grandma Kongshang, please sit here. We young people can handle this kind of thing," a young villager said to the old woman. There was no other way; the old woman's home was near the orphanage, and at this rate, by the time she got home to get the knife and came back, it would be dinnertime.

"No way! Lord Red-Haired is our hero! I want to see which bastard dares to cause trouble! Zhongshan, give me your knife!" The old lady also had a fiery temper. She snatched a knife from a middle-aged man next to her and even wielded it with great skill. The middle-aged man next to her was terrified, genuinely afraid that her hand would tremble.

.......

"Lady Haruko! Lord Shanks' voice is so loud! We can hear it all over here!" A nurse next to Lady Haruko in Konoha Hospital exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, he's always been like this, making a fuss over everything." Haruko was quite calm, pausing for a moment after hearing her husband's voice before returning to her work.

Even before she married this bastard, strange things often happened. Haruko-sama said she was used to it. You can't marry someone like this without being very magnanimous.

"Lady Tsunade, has a thief broken into the house?" In the hospital's operating room, an assistant doctor asked Tsunade, who was performing surgery.

"Don't worry about him, he's probably just itching for a bite," Tsunade said while performing surgery. In all her decades of life, she had never encountered anyone who dared to rob her house. This guy must have guts; didn't he know she had an extremely greedy person in her house?

At this moment, Obito looked at the former vice principal with a completely bewildered expression. Why did everyone mistake me for Shimura Hanzo? Do I look that much like him? Dude, I'm wearing a mask, okay?!

"What? You thought I wouldn't recognize you because you're wearing a mask? I didn't expect you to become so despicable. After all these years, you've turned to thievery. Are you broke? If you're broke, go find your brother Danzo. You're brothers, after all!" Shanks kept talking nonstop as he looked at the bewildered Obito, and he seemed to enjoy it more and more as he roasted him.

"asshole!"

Regardless of whether Shanks was actually insulting him or not, the fact that he was criticizing him was unbearable even before Obito's evolution, let alone after Obito's complete evolution.

"Ding!"

Enraged, Obito charged at Shanks, intending to end his life with a broken kunai. However, Obito was clearly overthinking things.

"Seriously? I've been in the ninja world for quite a while now, and you think you can stab me with this piece of junk?" Shanks continued to scoff, ignoring the kunai stuck to his body.

"asshole!"

"Clang clang clang clang!" The dreamlike sound of blacksmithing echoed throughout the warehouse.

Obito, his face flushed, showed off his clumsy kunai basics. Even though he had evolved, Obito, who had never attended the Ninja Academy, still had such weak basics. Shanks could stand there and let him stab him, but he couldn't even hit a vital spot.

"Your basic skills are lacking. Even if I stand here, I can't hit your vitals. Do you need me to teach you? I'm the top teacher in the education world. Many geniuses in Konoha were taught by me. I have a great reputation for mastering the fundamentals." Shanks said to Obito while listening to the pleasant sound of hammering.

Obito finally understands how those enemies feel when Shanks beats them up. It's not just a physical beating, but a double blow to both the body and the soul.

"asshole!"

"The Iron Fist of Love!"

"boom!"

Just as Obito was preparing for his next attack, Shanks delivered a powerful punch to his head, slamming him against the wall. Fortunately, the Senju clan had ensured the quality of the warehouse when it was built, preventing it from falling into disrepair over time.

"Hiss! Damn it!"

Obito's head was embedded in the wall with a huge bump on it. The excruciating pain in his head almost brought him to tears. It hurt so badly, even more than when he was hit in the groin by a boulder.

"Hey, not bad. You actually managed to withstand my beloved iron fist. You're much stronger than those tailed beasts." Shanks saw that even though he had been punched and had a bump on his arm, he didn't rub it because of the pain, which made him think more highly of him.

"You bastard, you can't compare me to an animal!"

"Huh? Naturalization?"

Obito angrily burst out of the wall, and Shanks threw a punch at him. However, this time there was no flesh-on-flesh impact, and the fist passed right through Obito's body without causing him any harm.

"Haha! I thought Konoha's Red-Haired Shanks was some kind of power! He's only this strong!" Obito laughed after seeing that his Hollowfication ability had an effect on Shanks.

"Hmm...you ate a Devil Fruit?" Shanks ignored Obito's words and stroked his chin with a curious look.

"What Devil Fruit? You can just die!"

Obito, full of fighting spirit, charged at Shanks again. Doesn't Shanks like hand-to-hand combat? I'll use my Hollowfication to see how he beats me.

"Ding!"

"boom!"

Shanks watched Obito rush over with disdain without making a move. Instead, he waited for Obito to attack before unleashing a barrage of attacks himself, sending Obito flying with a single punch. This time, Obito smashed a large hole in the high wall of the Senju warehouse.

Obito lay on the ground, surrounded by a barrier set up by the Uzumaki clan. They couldn't let this audacious thief get away; he was too bold to dare steal from their warehouse.

"What a disappointment! Still as weak as ever after half a year." Shanks shook his head as he looked at Obito lying on the ground. Obito had successfully evolved, but his combat experience was still pitifully lacking. The flaws in this intangible ability were too obvious. Just like Kakashi needed time to prepare when using Kamui, it wasn't instantaneous. Moreover, one couldn't fight after intangibleizing; once one attacked, the intangible ability would automatically dissipate. This ability could only scare others, but it was completely useless against Shanks' top-tier Observation Haki.

370. The traditions of the ninja world must not be lost.

Hearing the thoughts of all things and being able to foresee the future five seconds in advance is no joke. Roger became the Pirate King by simply listening to the thoughts of all things. Now Shanks has two skills, and it's only because he's being modest that he doesn't call himself king. This Obito guy hasn't even mastered the basics yet he dares to engage in close combat with him. Has he never seen Orochi poop before or what?

"Teacher, is he Shimura Hanzo?" At this moment, Minato also arrived, looking at Obito with two bumps on his head with murderous intent and asking Shanks.

"It seems to be him... He's wearing a mask, but his strength has weakened considerably. I wonder if I get stronger with age or if he gets weaker with age," Shanks said smugly, stroking his chin.

"Let us in. We're here to help Lord Shanks fight off the thief."

"Yes! Let us in. I want to see who's so bold as to cause trouble in Konoha."

At this moment, tens of thousands of Konoha villagers gathered at the entrance of the Senju clan, each carrying a weapon. If the Anbu hadn't stopped them, Shanks would have suspected they were there to fight or to demolish houses.

"Look, you've angered everyone, haven't you? Don't you know how popular I, Shanks, am in Konoha? You dare to come to my house to steal things without even knowing the situation? Have you never died before?" Shanks was extremely pleased to see so many villagers supporting him.

Looking at the enraged villagers, Brother Daitu realized that even though he used to help old ladies cross the road every day, few of them missed him when he died. In particular, the old ladies he had helped back then were also in the crowd. Brother Daitu was furious. Although he did not reveal his identity, seeing these old ladies who he used to help cross the road now trying to kill him with kitchen knives made him even angrier.

It seems we won't get the photos. Let alone Minato, he wouldn't dare to mess with Shanks alone, not to mention the tens of thousands of enraged villagers armed with weapons behind him. However, the ninja tradition cannot be abandoned: we may lose the fight, but we cannot lose the argument.

"Hmph! Don't be too smug, I'll be back." Obito stood up and glared angrily at Shanks. His Sharingan, which was visible on his face, spun around for a moment, and the space around him seemed to distort. In the blink of an eye, Obito disappeared without a trace.

"This...this is a space-time ninjutsu?" Even though he was outside the barrier, Minato could still sense the spatial fluctuations.

"The Uchiha clan really has a lot of geniuses. Their Mangekyou Sharingan abilities are quite strange. It's a kind of ability to communicate with space, which can transfer attacks received to an unknown space. People can also hide in that space, but there is a time limit, about a few minutes." Shanks said, stroking his chin.

"So he's not Shimura Hanzo? I remember the records said that Shimura Hanzo's two eyes had abilities related to self-hypnosis," Minato asked doubtfully.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot. It seems this masked man, while also a Kaleidoscope user, is significantly weaker than Shimura Hanzo. I thought it was because he'd been hanging around the Red Bronze Zone for too long." Shanks wanted to slap himself; he'd almost been exposed. He'd boasted about Shimura Hanzo's abilities back then, but he'd exaggerated so much over the years that he hadn't even remembered. Luckily, Minato reminded him. If his older brother Danzo knew he'd been fooled for so many years, would he jump out of his sickbed and fight Shanks to the death?

“If it’s not Shimura Hanzo, and they’re wearing the same mask, then their organization is very dangerous. And they’re all Uchiha people. Teacher, do you think it could be related to the Uchiha clan?” Minato said with a serious expression.

"It's hard to say. After all, the Kaleidoscope isn't something you can awaken just like that. But those two both have the Kaleidoscope, so the relationship is a bit complicated." Shanks looked serious. He wasn't going to tell Minato that the masked man from before was an imposter who had come to give Danzo his brother hope.

Speaking of his brother Danzo, he was on his bed listening excitedly to the report from his leader, Yamanaka Hinano. It had been so long since his brother had finally reappeared... and he even dared to steal from Shanks' house. He even suspected that his brother hadn't taken any drugs today.

"Lord Danzo, based on the information our people brought back from the scene, this masked man is not the person we've been searching for all these years. This masked man's kaleidoscope ability is related to space, while the person we're looking for has the self-hypnosis ability you mentioned, Lord Danzo." Yamanaka Hiro is increasingly displaying the demeanor of a secretary-general, analyzing the situation logically and clearly, which Danzo understands perfectly.

"You mean someone else has activated the Kaleidoscope?" Danzo asked in surprise. Are Kaleidoscopes so worthless now? Madara has only been dead for a few decades, and Kaleidoscopes are popping up one after another.

"My guess is this: this person isn't as strong as we imagined. According to the reports from those who came back from the scene, this person was completely overwhelmed by Lord Shanks from beginning to end, without any chance to fight back. The difference in strength between this person and the person you asked us to find, Lord Danzo, is too great. So I estimate that this person might be a member of the Uchiha clan. They might have something that Lord Shanks has their eye on, so they impersonated that person and made him take the blame. They just didn't expect Lord Shanks to be so powerful, so they could only escape using the Mangekyou Sharingan." After Yamanaka finished speaking, I admired him greatly.

"Hmm... Your guess is indeed very reasonable. It seems that the Uchiha are always a destabilizing factor in the village!" Danzo nodded in agreement after hearing the leader's guess, looking worried about the village.

"Lord Danzo, should we investigate this person?" Yamanaka Hio knew that his boss had been spying on the Kaleidoscope for many years. His claim of finding a half-brother was a pretense; his real purpose was to obtain those eyes.

"No need. As long as he's still in the Uchiha clan, he can't escape my grasp." Even though he was lying in bed, Danzo couldn't hide the brilliance of his strategic planning.

"I was overthinking it. With Lord Danzo's shrewdness, this person will fall into Lord Danzo's hands sooner or later." Yamanaka Hiroko feigned sudden realization, silently delivering another scathing compliment. Danzo was thoroughly pleased. If he had only listened to one person flattering and exaggerating for so many years, he should have been tired of it by now. However, Yamanaka Hiroko was deeply influenced by the lessons in Shanks' works: one cannot repeat oneself; after a few times, one must change the style, and one cannot be too blatant. Therefore, over the years, Yamanaka Hiroko would reread Shanks' works every time he went to sleep to be able to fall asleep. And when changing the style of flattery became a habit, he mastered the art of speaking, making Danzo never tire of listening, wanting to listen more and more, finding it increasingly comfortable.

371. Not every kaleidoscope is like Grandpa Spot.

The underground bounty office in the ninja world is indeed the most powerful intelligence department in the Naruto world. The news that Obito had just stolen Shanks's house the day before had already spread throughout the ninja world.

"Hahaha! This greedy fellow got what he deserved!" Onoki realized this year was his lucky year. Not long ago, Orochimaru from Konoha had defected, and now that bastard Shanks from Konoha had his base raided. Onoki really wanted to burn incense for his deceased stepmother and ask her if she had been whispering sweet nothings in the ear of the Six Paths. This year was truly a year to do whatever made him happy.

"Lord Tsuchikage, who do you think this mysterious person is? I never expected that someone would actually awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, but their strength..." Aoki asked curiously from the side.

"...The person who can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan is undoubtedly from the Uchiha clan. I never thought that someone after Madara Uchiha would be able to awaken these eyes. However, not every Mangekyou Sharingan is Madara Uchiha's!" Onoki looked up at the window and sighed, recalling the scene when he and his teacher were brutally defeated by Madara when they were young. That Shura of the ninja world was simply unbelievably strong.
