Konoha Drunkard

That bastard teacher actually sold his photo!

"Itachi, which bastard sold your photos? I'll take care of him for you!"

Seeing his companion gritting his teeth, Kisame, who always considered himself Itachi's best friend, slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and said with a murderous look on his face.

"...Let's forget about it."

Itachi shook his head helplessly as he looked at Kisame, who had a murderous look on his face.

"Don't worry, give me a few days and I'll find out which bastard did it. I'll bring back his dog head."

Kisame assumed his companion didn't want to trouble him, and patted his chest to assure her.

"...Let's just forget about it."

Itachi looked at Kisame with a black line on his forehead. "That bastard is my teacher. I was just worried you couldn't beat him."

"Heh. In the ninja world, besides my former captain, there's probably no one else who can sell a photo of Itachi as a child for such a high price."

As a seasoned veteran of the ninja world, Orochimaru, the logistics manager of the Akatsuki and a super scientist, knows Shanks better than anyone else. Moreover, Shanks has always had the good habit of taking random photos with his camera, so it's perfectly normal for him to have photos of his disciples.

He would sell a photo for 150 million...

"........."

Upon hearing Orochimaru's analysis and seeing Itachi's expression, the members of the Akatsuki group looked at Itachi with pity. How could there be such a heartless teacher in the world, betraying even his own disciple...?

Especially the rich Nan and Pain with his circle eyes, how can there be such a big difference between people? Their former teacher Jiraiya, although he was not very reliable, at least wouldn't do such a shameless thing. That Konoha Shanks is too terrifying.

.............

"boom!"

"Give me two photos of Itachi Uchiha, and I'll pay back the money I owed at the casino."

Early in the morning, Shanks was enjoying a rare peaceful breakfast when the door was smashed open by a tremendous force, and the imposing Tsunade walked in.

"Pfft! I've said it so many times, I don't have those photos. I don't even know where I threw them away. Haruko-sama, you can be my witness!"

Shanks spat out the breakfast milk he was about to drink. "Damn it, billions for one photo, and you want two? Are you crazy?"

"It's fine if you don't want to give it to me, but I put your name on the bill at the casino last night."

Tsunade had long anticipated that this guy wouldn't give it to her, so last night she simply gambled away all the money she had for the next few years in one go. Of course, that money was all lent to her under duress, otherwise who in the entire Land of Fire would dare to lend her money?

"...I bet they have ten times the guts! I'm not the one who borrowed the money, why should I pay it back?"

Shanks stared in shock at the Gold Saint. This was utterly shameless! How could he even come up with such a method? Did he have no shame at all?

"Lord Shanks... I have a family to support, and I'm the only one who can make a living. Lady Tsunade borrowed all my money last night. Please, have mercy and pay back some interest so my family can make ends meet!"

"Yes! I also have an eighty-year-old mother who is seriously ill and needs money for medicine. Lord Shanks, please repay some of it..."

"And me..."

"And me..."

No sooner had Shanks finished speaking than a group of people holding IOUs appeared out of nowhere, standing in front of Shanks with crying faces, trying to outdo each other in misery.

"Wait! It was Tsunade who borrowed money from you yesterday. She's here too. Why don't you ask her to pay it back? What's it to me?"

Shanks looked at these utterly clueless extras and thought, "If you ripped and dirtied your clothes a bit more, you'd look even more convincing. What kind of person can't afford to support their family and still wears gold and silver? Do you think I'm blind? Look at your gold bars, you could use them as dog leashes!"

"Lord Shanks, although our line of work isn't exactly legitimate, we still have our professional ethics. We've always been credited to people, not people. Since your name is on the IOU, we had no choice but to come to you."

A fat man with a dozen or so dog leashes around his neck and a menacing-looking beard said with a bitter face, "What can we do? Who the hell dares to ask Tsunade for money? Those who refused to lend money last night are all in the hospital now. They'd rather come to Shanks than Tsunade. At least Shanks has some sense. As long as they're not from Shimura, it's fine."

"Holy crap... No! Her brother lives next door. If you want your money back, go ask her brother!"

Shanks was shocked. Even people who cheat on accounts now have professional ethics. How shameless!

"But... it has your name on it, Lord Shanks! Please have mercy on me, my whole family is waiting for me to bring back money to buy rice and eat. They've been starving all night."

Another fierce-looking man with a gold belt grabbed Shanks' leg and started crying and wailing.

"........"

Shanks stared in shock at the man clinging to his leg. "You're not suited to collecting debts this way. Shouldn't you be carrying a big cleaver?"

"Yes, Lord Shanks, please have mercy on us. We also need to make a living. Lady Tsunade borrowed all our savings yesterday, and we really have no money left."

"Waaah... Today is my mom's 60th birthday, and I was hoping to give her a longevity peach..."

"You're ruthless! Give me the IOU. There's still over a billion in this card. I've paid you back."

Seeing these old men waving IOUs and wailing, Shanks thought it was really outrageous. He glared at Tsunade, pulled out a gold card and tossed it to them. Luckily, the Kakuzu brothers were efficient; they had already given him the money from selling the tailed beasts. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have had enough money to help her pay off her debts.

728. That bastard also took a picture of me.

"Phew... thankfully he thought I was dead back then and burned my photos."

As the Itachi photo incident continued to brew, Obito, who lived in an underground entertainment center in the ninja world, was also filled with lingering fear. Although everyone thought he was dead, he was afraid that if that unscrupulous principal exposed his photo, he would be too ashamed to show his face.

"Heh heh, so you were so determined to go to Konoha just for those photos? I never expected that the red-haired guy from Konoha has such a unique hobby."

He said to Bai Jue in a strange tone.

"Yes, but thankfully he had already burned it."

Obito suddenly felt like he'd been reborn. He knew this would happen, otherwise he wouldn't have been so determined to get the photos back. The impact of Itachi's incident this time was enormous...

The incident involving Itachi's photo has brought joy to some and sorrow to others.

As for those Itachi fangirls, there are now bounty posters for Itachi's photos all over the ninja world. Even Kakuzu's former employer has taken down those head bounty missions and replaced them with photo bounties. Head bounties are at most a few hundred million, but photo bounties are easily billions. They could make a fortune just by taking money from the brokers.

The girl is a good match, but those who were once photographed by Shanks aren't feeling so good.

"Brother Scorpion? Brother Scorpion! Boss Payne is calling you."

In the Land of Rain, Sasori had been absent-minded lately. Today, Pain summoned all the members to promote the core ideology of the Akatsuki and to assign a mission. Itachi's team had been sent out to play by Pain, so Sasori and Deidara would be going on this mission. However, Sasori was preoccupied with his thoughts and didn't listen to a word Pain said.

"What's wrong."

The little scorpion came to its senses.

"Scorpion, what's wrong with you lately? You seem to be in a bad mood."

The wealthy Nan asked, "Scorpion was someone she brought into the organization. Although Scorpion has been a bit of a recluse these past few years, he is still very powerful and reliable. He has never been like this before."

"...That bastard also took pictures of me."

The little scorpion clenched its fists tightly and said angrily.

That bastard filmed me not just once, but several times. Not to mention the times I was a child, he filmed me several times even after I grew up...

"...What? Brother Sasori, you were hit by him too? No way, isn't he from Konoha?"

Deidara stared at his older brother in shock.

"Kid, you don't know, do you? When Sasori was a child, Shanks went to Sunagakure to teach him for a while. Strictly speaking, Sasori is Shanks's disciple. But Sasori is so handsome, his photos must be quite valuable..."

Towards the end, Kakuzu's eyes started to glow green again. No wonder his good brother was able to keep up with him in the financial world, and a single photo of him could fetch an astronomical price.

"I'm going to Konoha."

After hearing Kakuzu's analysis that his photo was worth a lot, Little Scorpion's bad premonition intensified. He immediately turned and left, determined to get the photo back.

"Hey! Brother Scorpion, wait for me!"

Deidara jumped up and chased after his partner as soon as they left.

"........Kakuzu, you guys should handle this, Hidan."

Pain, speechless, said to Kakuzu, "I didn't mind that Sasori left halfway through. I understand how Sasori felt. If I were in that situation, I probably would have done the same. Even though it's a childhood photo, it's still embarrassing. Luckily, Jiraiya didn't do that back then."

........

In Konoha, Shisui, a member of the rotating dormitory clan, ate dinner with Koharu, who was rotating to another dormitory, his brows furrowed. Several times, he seemed to be speaking in hushed tones, his face clearly showing that he was preoccupied.

"Shisui, you've been in a bad mood lately? Is it because of Itachi Uchiha?"

When Xiaochun turned to her room, she saw that her beloved godson looked preoccupied, and she couldn't eat anymore.

"Not entirely. Maybe it's been too long, and my memory is a bit hazy. I seem to remember Lord Shanks... taking pictures of me too... Grandma Koharu, where are you going? You haven't finished dinner yet!"

"Clang!"

As soon as Shisui finished speaking, Koharu's seat in the dormitory was already empty, and her bowl had fallen to the ground.

"I'll go to the Thousand Hands Clan and get the photos back for you."

Koharu's voice still echoed in the courtyard, but she was gone. Shanks, that bastard, has no bottom line when it comes to money. Like this time, he even sold his disciple's artistic photos for 100 million. What about her precious god-grandson? Although her precious god-grandson can't show his face now, he can after this is over. With his popularity, that bastard will probably sell him again.

.........

In the Hatake clan, Kakashi held Jiraiya's latest masterpiece, but he couldn't concentrate on reading it. After the Uchiha Itachi photo incident, he knew who was behind it. No one but his father's best friend would be so bored. As he was thinking, he suddenly remembered that Kurenai had mentioned to Haruko-sama a while ago that Haruko-sama had talked about his childhood and even shown it to Kurenai.

A photo from when I was a child?

The important point is that he vaguely remembered that bastard did have a hobby of taking silly photos of children. For example, when that bastard took photos of Uchiha Itachi, he was just watching...

So, that bastard also has his own humiliating photos? That bastard also took pictures of me?

"Hong, what kind of photos did Haruko-sama show you last time? I mean, were they wearing clothes or not?"

Kadian felt something was off and turned to look at the girl with colored contact lenses.

"...There are all kinds, there are too many to look at carefully, but I'm sure that all the photos before I was five years old were of me wearing clothes."

The girl with colored contact lenses knew what Card was worried about, and after thinking for a while, she said...

"What about those under five years old?"

Kadian suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I don't know. Haruko-sama only showed photos of herself after she was five years old. She said that photos of her before she was five were with Shanks-sama, and she didn't know where they were hidden."

The Uchiha Itachi incident caused such a big stir. Shanks and her father-in-law are best friends, so Shanks must have Kakashi's childhood photos. She even asked Haruko to show them to her recently, but Haruko doesn't actually have those photos; they're all with Shanks. She's too embarrassed to ask Shanks for them...

"boom!"

The girl with the colored contact lenses had barely finished speaking when Kakashi vanished in a flash, rushing towards the storeroom with astonishing speed, grabbing all the valuables, turning, accelerating, and heading towards the Senju clan's territory...

729. Aren't you afraid Shuo Mao will block your door?
