Konoha Drunkard

Although their business was over, they had also tricked Shanks. At this moment, Shanks, holding back his tears, handed over all the money that Haruko had given him the night before and the money he had earned in Sunagakure to Koharu Utatane. In the end, he was still short 1,100, which Haruko gave him because he really couldn't scrape together a single penny.

510. Patriarch, Lord Shanks has arrived with his sword.

"Haha! Serves you right for being so stubborn!" The four giants of Konoha happily left with the money, leaving Shanks alone with tears in his eyes. Haruko laughed loudly.

"Lord Haruko, why didn't you tell me that the Uchiha and Hyuga donated so much? I've wasted my time!" Shanks complained to Lord Haruko with tears streaming down his face.

"...Those donations were all recorded at the village entrance. You didn't miss them when you came back, did you?" Haruko gave him a disapproving look. She wondered why her man had suddenly become so generous. She knew that her man's wealth was inversely proportional to his fame.

At this moment, Shanks realized that the world was full of malice, and he felt like he was being crushed under a mountain...

"wrong."

"I'm not a monkey."

"But... when the monkey was stealing the peaches, he was discovered by the seven fairies, and then he froze the seven fairies. Did he really not do anything?" Shanks thought about it with a sense of empathy and realized that he was much better than the monkey.

If it were him, he would definitely do something!

For example, teach them a lesson!

Yes, we must teach them a lesson they won't forget, and let them know the consequences of disturbing me while I'm eating peaches!

That's just how domineering he is!

.......

My thoughts have drifted a bit far away...

Back in reality, Shanks was still heartbroken; it was all his hard work. So much sweat in Takigakure, so much spittle in Sunagakure—all wasted.

"It's all the fault of the second male lead's father and Hiashi Hyuga!"

"Yes! It's all their fault..."

"Yes! Let's go settle accounts with them..."

Shanks slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and stormed out of the house.

"where are you going?"

Haruko asked curiously from behind.

"Go settle scores with Fugaku Uchiha and Hiashi Hyuga! It's all because of those two bastards!"

"..."

Haruko-sama gave him a Tenseigan, and he acted like a child.

........

"Clan leader! Lord Shanks is here with his greatsword, blocking the door!" A member of the main branch of the Hyuga clan rushed into the Hyuga clan leader Hiashi's room and said in a panic.

"...?"

"What happened?"

Hiashi Hyuga asked in bewilderment. His Hyuga clan had always had a good relationship with his former homeroom teacher. The granddaughter of the Third Elder was even engaged to Garp. Shanks would often come over to eat and drink for free. How could he suddenly turn on him like this?

"I don't know! Lord Shanks is right at the family gate, saying we have to pay back the money, or he won't let anyone leave. I've already sent someone to investigate, but it won't be quick," said a member of the main family.

"...?"

Hiashi Hyuga was even more confused. Pay back the money? Pay back what money! Everyone knows that Shanks of Konoha only takes and never gives. Apart from a few people in Konoha, no one has ever been able to get money from him, let alone borrow money from him.

"You borrowed money from him??"

The members of the main family shook their heads repeatedly. Borrow money from Konoha's Red Hair? That's just wishful thinking. It's simply impossible. They're short of money too, and they certainly don't have the means.

"Go out and see."

Hiashi Hyuga realized that even his clansmen wouldn't dare borrow money from Shanks, so he quickly stood up and went outside. Having one's clan blocked at the gate was no small matter, especially for a powerful clan like theirs. It was an extremely shameful thing, and they might be ridiculed for decades or even centuries to come for being the number one clan in Konoha blocked at the gate. As for who was blocking the gate, it didn't matter; the deed was done anyway.

When Hiashi Hyuga arrived at the entrance, he saw his clansmen lying haphazardly, all of them unconscious and not in any real danger. There were also some clansmen in the distance, leaning against the wall, their legs trembling, looking at Shanks in terror.

Shanks, carrying his withered tree trunk, arrived at the door looking fierce. Cracks appeared on the ground around him, and Hiashi Hyuga immediately recognized that it was caused by Shanks' aura. The "corpse" at the door was also stunned by the aura. He had experienced Shanks' overwhelming aura before, but fortunately, his former homeroom teacher was very restrained, otherwise, very few members of the Hyuga clan would still be conscious.

Shanks isn't stupid. When it comes to settling scores, a little intimidation is enough. Otherwise, if everyone gets confused, who will you hold accountable?

"When did the teacher return? What happened that made you angry?"

"Stop talking nonsense and give me my money back!"

Shanks said to Hiashi Hyuga in a fierce tone.

"...? This... our people borrowed money from you?"

"You bastard, what did I teach you back then? I told you to be more low-key and not to be so flamboyant, and you donated a hundred billion to the village? Have you lost your mind? Do you think it's easy for me to earn that money? You just swindled it all away." Shanks pointed at Hiashi Hyuga's nose and started spewing spittle, splattering Hiashi Hyuga's face with saliva.

"...?"

Hiashi Hyuga was even more confused. "No way... what's it to you if I donate 100 billion? You're not my dad, and besides, it's not your money I'm spending. How did I cheat you?"

Of course, this was just what Hiashi Hyuga was thinking. Facing Shanks, who was still furious, Hiashi Hyuga wouldn't dare say such a thing; he still wanted a second child...

"Teacher, let's go inside and talk slowly. There are so many people watching outside."

"I'll give you ten minutes to come up with a reason to convince me. But you still have to pay me back!" Shanks watched as Kuki strode into the Hyuga clan with an air of indifference.

"Clan leader, we've found out! Lin Mu from the Anbu just reported that Lord Shanks donated 100 billion and 111 billion yen to the village this morning in the name of the Senju clan." Not long after Shanks entered the room, a Hyuga disciple came to Hiashi Hyuga's side and whispered.

"Sogga! Go and prepare 100 billion!" After hearing the news from his clansmen, Hyuga Hiashi suddenly realized what was going on.

I understand. He was so focused on fighting Fugaku Uchiha back then that he didn't realize the Senju clan issue. Konoha isn't just about the two powerful clans, the Senju and the Uchiha. Although the Senju clan has declined, their historical status still exists. Two of the three powerful clans have donated 100 billion yen. What will happen to the Senju clan, which has produced two Hokage?

Moreover, his homeroom teacher was the patriarch of the Senju clan, a notorious miser. Asking him to spend so much money would be like killing him... He guessed that even his former teacher, Lady Tsunade, had a problem with him, but she just didn't care much about such things. Anyway, someone would always come after them.

As soon as his former homeroom teacher returned, he immediately came knocking on his door. Hiashi Hyuga, being quite astute, figured things out and immediately ordered his clansmen to prepare the money. As for the reason... well, with money, does the reason even matter anymore...?

Shanks said: It's not important!

511. Uchiha is steel.

"Hahaha! No need to be so polite, you did the right thing! We can't keep indulging the Uchiha. Let me tell you, I've been annoyed with them for a long time. I was the only one who wasn't there at the time, but if I had been there, I wouldn't have tolerated it either."

Just as Hiashi Hyuga had expected, Shanks' anger changed completely when he saw the pile of banknotes carried by the Hyuga clan. He stared at the banknotes, drooling, while listening to Hiashi Hyuga's reasons for not being important.

"Of course, but I didn't think things through this time. I didn't consider the situation of the teacher and the Senju clan. I'm sorry to have troubled you with this expense."

Although he despised Shanks's behavior, he only did so in his heart and dared not show it.

joke.

The withered wood that had been famous for decades was still sitting on the table. He dared not test whether the withered wood would rust after being unused for so many years.

"Since you're so sincere, then I'll accept it without hesitation. However... I'm a man of principle, so I'll only take half. You have no idea how hard this trip was for me. I traveled all the way to Takigakure, fought the Seven-Tails, and before I could even wash off the sweat, I had to run to Sunagakure to trick Rasa. I finally managed to earn this little bit of wealth, and now it's all gone. In the end, I even had to ask Haruko-sama for money. It's so embarrassing! Alright, I'll take this half with me. Consider it... consider it your contribution to Haruko-sama's retirement fund." Shanks couldn't think of any other excuse. Calling it compensation... didn't sound quite right. But considering Hiashi Hyuga's sincerity, Shanks could just use any excuse he could find. It would save face for him.

"...Take care, teacher."

After Hiashi Hyuga stood up and saw Shanks to the door, he didn't even glance at the money left on the ground before heading home to hug his daughter. A hundred billion yen was nothing to him; the important thing was to calm Shanks down. After all, just looking at that jet-black, withered tree trunk terrified him. Anyone who had seen Shanks kill someone didn't know the destructive power of that trunk. If Shanks got carried away, he might even kill his own people—the first time they fought against Kirigakure on the Land of Water was a prime example.

"Clan leader... Lord Shanks didn't head back to the Senju clan, it seems he went to the Uchiha clan." Hiashi Hyuga had just returned home when a clansman came in and whispered in his ear.

"..."

Hiashi Hyuga waved his hand to dismiss his clansmen without saying anything. Shanks going to the Uchiha to collect a debt was expected. Who was Shanks? Could someone who had tricked him be any good? Having been tricked so much by both the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, it was impossible for them to target only the Hyuga and not the Uchiha. Moreover, Shanks only took 50 billion, so he guessed the Uchiha would be his next target. After all, the Hyuga clan wasn't the ones who tricked him, and the Uchiha were the ones who had been tricked!

Meanwhile, at the gates of the Uchiha clan, the same thing that happened to the Hyuga clan that morning was happening again. However, since the Uchiha people seemed to be rather dim-witted, especially the faction of the three old Uchiha, Shanks originally just wanted to use the same method he used at the Hyuga clan gates at the Uchiha clan gates to intimidate them. That way, it would be easier to settle accounts. Didn't you see that Hyuga Hiashi took the initiative to bring his subordinates in carrying the compensation money shortly after Shanks entered the house?

Moreover, the eldest son of the second male lead's father was his precious disciple. He had dealt with the second male lead's father so much that the second male lead's father should be a very good person. However, before he even met the second male lead's father, he saw wave after wave of Uchiha clan members. When he arrived at the Uchiha gate, the two Uchiha "gatekeepers" saw Shanks coming over fiercely, carrying weapons, and of course they stopped him. Shanks did the same thing as at the Hyuga gate. He unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, and not only did the two "gatekeepers" faint, but the nearby Uchiha clan members also fainted. Some Uchiha clan members with better mental fortitude hurriedly ran to call for help. The Uchiha don't care if you are Konoha's Shanks.

Anyone who dared to cause trouble at their doorstep was met with a barrage of corpses by the Uchiha clansmen who were summoned. Without a word, they drew their shuriken or katana, activated their Sharingan, and charged forward, looking as if they were determined to avenge their clansmen.

Shanks was too lazy to bother with these small fry. He hadn't practiced his Conqueror's Haki in years, so he figured he might as well use these people to hone his skills. He wondered if the second male lead's father and the three old guys had received the news.

Anyway, the Uchiha clansmen were just being killed wave after wave, with Shanks relentlessly decimating them. Those Uchiha clansmen who were overwhelmed by Shanks' Haki were either too weak-willed to stand there, happily collapsing to the ground in fear, or, even those with decent strength and good mental fortitude, were now standing there, their legs trembling, staring in terror at Shanks...

"........."

This is awkward!

Shanks looked at this group of good-for-nothing idiots and thought, "How could they be so stupid? Shouldn't a large family inform the head of the family first if they find someone causing trouble or seeking revenge?"

These idiots just keep yelling for help. What good are numbers? He can't actually kill them all. This is all his precious disciple's experience; he can't be so shameless as to steal it.

Shanks remained silent with the Uchiha clan members who hadn't been knocked unconscious. To save face, Shanks couldn't remind them that they should call their parents at this point.

The Uchiha clansmen, overcome by their fear, forgot all about the proper procedures and stared at the "corpses" of the clansmen they thought were dead.

"The Red-Haired Shanks of Konoha is terrifying; his mere aura could kill so many people."

"No! We absolutely mustn't move! What if we get killed...?"

"Don't move...don't move..."

The two sides then played a game of "who's the statue?" right in front of the Uchiha's gate.

"Teacher, about this matter..."

Just as Shanks was getting impatient, Itachi's voice came from behind him.

Today, Itachi arrived at the Anbu headquarters as usual. Just as he changed into his Anbu uniform, he overheard the Anbu members discussing how his teacher was blocking the entrance to the Hyuga clan's headquarters with a large sword.

Since it concerned his teacher, Itachi was naturally quite concerned. Itachi was doing well in the Anbu; although he was the young head of the Uchiha clan, he, like Shisui, didn't have the typical Uchiha vices. Moreover, he was Shanks' disciple and had brought honor to Konoha during the Chunin Exams. Therefore, Itachi was quite popular in the Anbu. So, after asking the Anbu members, they...blah blah blah... told Itachi the whole story, from beginning to end.

512. The Big Plan

Upon hearing this, Itachi fell silent for a moment, silently mourning for the Hyuga clan for three seconds. Everyone in the ninja world knew that his teacher was a notorious miser, and this time he had been tricked so badly by the Hyuga clan...

and many more!

It seems the Uchiha clan also had a share in the donations...

"It's over!"

Thinking of this, Itachi immediately ran out of the Anbu and headed towards his clan...

Upon arriving at the clan's gate, the sight of the scattered "corpses" confirmed that something had indeed gone wrong. However, Itachi, being observant, noticed that these people had only fainted.

"...I came to talk to your old man about something, but these idiots stopped me." His once-imposing image in front of his disciples had completely crumbled...

"They're all brainless idiots!"
