Konoha Drunkard

"Heh, the captain is really heartless, just watching our Danzo advisor get killed."

Snake emerged from beside Shanks, laughing. He'd known about Shanks' arrival in Konoha since the second male lead had entered. Snakes hadn't been idle; a small white snake had already returned to report the moment Shanks stepped inside. Snake had originally intended to ask Shanks for some blood for research, but instead, he witnessed Shanks battling a villainous friend. This was a perfect opportunity to see just how powerful the Mangekyou Sharingan was. While Itachi possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, he'd never used it against Shanks. Even with the Akatsuki, Deidara was instantly defeated with a single blink. There was nothing particularly special about the Mangekyou Sharingan. This time, Shanks had truly amazed Snake. He hadn't expected the Mangekyou Sharingan to be more than just a blink; it could also summon creatures, and its defense and attack power seemed quite impressive…

“The will of Heaven cannot be defied. Our advisor, Danzo, has turned black and his eyes are lifeless. It’s clear that retribution has come. How can we mortals defy the will of Heaven? Heaven is not so easy to go against.”

Shanks shrugged and spread his hands, saying that saving Danzo was impossible. Without the experience gained from Danzo, the second male lead might not have reached the maximum level. Even with the cheat code given by the Six Paths, the second male lead who couldn't reach the maximum level might not be able to compete with Kaguya-hime.

For the sake of world peace, Brother Danzo, your sacrifice was worthwhile...

However, Shanks still couldn't understand why the second male lead would come after Danzo. He had initially thought Danzo could survive until the end like his best friend Hiruzen Sarutobi, but it seems he had done too many wicked things, and even the heavens couldn't stand it anymore, so they sent the righteous second male lead to take him down...

"Holy crap! What's he doing? Grinding in the game?"

Shanks had barely finished speaking when he noticed something was wrong with the second male lead. You'd said that after defeating Danzo, your mission was complete, and you should be going back to heaven, right? But not only did he not go back, he was also carrying the Kusanagi Sword and charging towards the village with murderous intent. This was unacceptable.

Shanks quickly chased after him, wanting to see what was going on with the child.

The second male lead, dressed in shorts, arrived at the village center and lingered below the Hokage's building, seemingly preparing to do something big, though it was unclear what he was planning...

The second male lead did indeed intend to clear the map, but as he progressed, he couldn't bring himself to attack the ninjas under genjutsu. He didn't know any of them, and they were all low-ranking members of Konoha, with whom he had no grudge. He couldn't bring himself to harm them, even though he had planned to dominate the map and make Konoha pay for his beloved brother's death...

After thinking for a long time downstairs at the Hokage's building, the second male lead finally came up with a plan. He couldn't bring himself to kill these cannon fodder who had no grudge against him, but he did have grudges against the Konoha high-ranking officials. Didn't his older brother's will say that those high-ranking officials were involved in the extermination of the clan? However, now that the two Hokage were gone and Danzo had just swallowed half a bridge and was about to die, there were only two advisors and one Grand Marshal left in Konoha. He would start by attacking them.

After devising a plan, the second male lead grabbed his sword and headed towards the Nara clan. As for why he went to the Nara clan, it was almost dawn, and he figured that once the villagers were awake, it would be difficult to make a move. Of the three, Da Sima was the most difficult to deal with, and he was also Konoha's strategist. Since they were going to do something big, eliminating Konoha's strategist would be a much greater loss for Konoha than the death of two old men. Uchiha, the King of the World, Sasuke, had quite a plan.

Large Skyrocket: Pfft, you motherfucker! I haven't even offended you, it was those old geezers who wanted to wipe out your family....

Shanks, seeing that the second male lead had left the Hokage Building after seemingly contemplating life, looked at Orochimaru, who had followed him, with a puzzled expression. Orochimaru had been all murderous and seemed ready to raid the area, so what was he up to now...?

Snake shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either. Even though he was extremely intelligent and talented, he couldn't guess what the second male lead was like, who had developed some neurotic traits after awakening his kaleidoscope.

Shanks and Orochimaru followed slowly behind. Shanks originally wanted to make a move, but seeing that the second male lead wasn't farming and was just wandering around the village for a long time without knowing what he was doing, did he discover an ancient tomb or secret realm under Konoha and was looking for the entrance?

"What the hell! Kid, don't be too greedy, just take down Danzo and that's enough."

After Shanks and Snake followed him all the way to the entrance of the giant rocket launcher, Shanks lost patience with his guessing game and used his Observation Haki to peek at what the kid was thinking. His expression changed drastically. This kid was addicted to killing bosses. He had just finished killing Danzo and now wanted to kill the giant rocket launcher. After all, he was his son-in-law, and Shanks couldn't let his daughter be a widow. He shaved his head and went up to the second male lead, mimicking his pants.

"Old man, get out of the way! Or you'll die too!"

The second male lead, looking down at Shanks with disdain, said smugly, "Back then, I begged and pleaded with this old guy not to teach me. He's right, you ignored me back then, but now I can crush you. Eternal Kaleidoscope, high-end stuff, never seen it before, have you?" The second male lead, now with his cheat code activated, was indeed incredibly arrogant.

"Oh dear! You've really gotten arrogant since you got a new pair of eyes. For Itachi's sake, I'll give you two minutes to get out of my sight immediately, or the consequences will be severe."

Shanks looked at that gaze and that posture, and realized it was exactly the same as Madara's when he first met him. This brat had really gotten too big for his britches.

"Old man, you're asking for it!"

"boom!"

The second male lead was so enraged by Shanks' words that he exploded on the spot. Ever since he opened his eyes, he vowed never to be looked down upon again, especially by Shanks, who had ignored him once before. If he was looked down upon again, he would definitely kill this old guy. The second male lead still had some common sense and knew that this old guy was known as the strongest tough guy in the ninja world, and that ordinary ninjutsu was useless against him. So he immediately used his ultimate move to summon a giant purple skeleton and smashed it into Shanks.

After getting his hands on the weapon, the second male lead felt relieved. "Old man, you looked down on me, now you know how powerful I am, right?"

"After transplanting Itachi's eyes and activating the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he's still so weak. I really feel sorry for my precious disciple. If I had known you would waste your eyes like this, I would never have given them to you in the first place."

As the dust settled, Shanks walked over unharmed, dusting himself off and looking at the second male lead with disdain.

776. At worst, I'll just have a daughter.

To be honest, the second male lead is really weak. His jealousy is even worse than that of the old Madara, who was barely clinging to life. Madara was able to activate the ultimate form of the Blue Giant before.

"Impossible! Amaterasu!"

The second male lead was shocked to see that the old man was completely unharmed after being hit by the purple skull's full power. He was amazed that the old man was really that tough. However, he quickly realized that the old man's toughness was due to the toughness of his strongest fire.

"boom"

"Armed with superhuman strength. Just keep hitting blindly!"

"Crack!"

Shanks wouldn't be foolish enough to directly confront Amaterasu. He didn't know if his defense could withstand it, especially since it was touted as the strongest physical attack in the world. Although historically only his father had used it to burn a single cannon fodder, he never did anything without being certain. Like when he fought Onoki, he never directly confronted Onoki's Dust Release. Who knew if he could withstand it? If he couldn't, he'd be done for...

Shanks instantly appeared on the purple skull and punched it in the head, shattering the skull's head like glass.

"how is this possible?"

The second male lead looked at the smashed shell and thought, "This is Susanoo, the strongest defensive creature in the clan's records, and it was destroyed with a single punch!"

"boom!"

"What do you mean 'impossible'? You piece of junk, I don't know how many I've beaten up over the years. You think you can kill me? You're so young and you've got some skill, and you're already getting cocky. You're really thinking too much. How am I supposed to face Coach Fugaku?"

Shanks, annoyed by how much the second male lead had eaten, punched him in the handsome face.

"hiss!"

The second male lead touched his swollen face and gasped.

it hurts!

It's heartbreaking!

Why does it hurt so much? He hadn't been injured before; on the contrary, he had suffered countless injuries, big and small, while fighting Kimimaro, but he had never felt this pain before.

"You little bastard, now you know what pain is, but there's more to come."

"boom!"

Shanks then delivered another punch to the second male lead's other cheek, finally balancing things out. He truly hadn't realized that slapping someone in the face was so effective; he'd always hit their head before...

"Hiss! Die, you old bastard! Thousand..."

The second male lead glared menacingly at Shanks. This old guy not only hit hard, but his words were also incredibly rude and despicable. Left lunge, left hand gripping right, unleashing his signature move...

"boom!"

"Screw you, you think you can just steal a little light bulb? You've got too big for your britches, haven't you? You're so young and you're already learning bad habits, always shouting for violence. Is this how we in Konoha raise you?"

Before the second male lead could even unleash his signature move, his head was smashed open by a punch.

"Ugh! You old bastard! Go to hell!"

Enraged by the beating, the second male lead abandoned all fancy ninjutsu and charged forward with the Kusanagi Sword.

"Jingle bells..."

"boom!"

"You're getting angry with me now, aren't you? It's been a while since your old redhead has beaten anyone up. Come on, let's fight until dawn... whoever runs away will never have a son..."

Seeing that his attacks lacked power and failed to achieve the desired massage effect, Shanks unceremoniously punched him away again.

"..."

Hearing Shanks's words from the shadows, Orochimaru looked up at the sky speechlessly. "You're over fifty, of course you can't have children. How old is Sasuke? Aren't you cursing him to never have a son?"

"hateful...."

The second male lead, his tattooed face swollen, got up and glared at Shanks. However, this time he didn't charge in recklessly. Shanks' punch calmed him down. This guy in front of him was really too fierce. No wonder he's so foul-mouthed and still alive.

Ever since he activated his kaleidoscope and received the eyes his older brother had given him, the terrifying power within him seemed to be telling him, "You're invincible now, go ahead and show off..."

Now that he'd calmed down, he realized there were always people stronger than him, and the level of skill was ever-increasing. The person in front of him was simply too powerful; even his fists were incredibly strong, capable of shattering his family's heirloom giant weapon. And his defense was too formidable; even the divine weapon, the Kusanagi Sword, couldn't penetrate it...

Moreover, this old guy's mouth is incredibly venomous; he kept babbling on and on, every single word piercing his fragile little heart.

The second male lead, having calmed down, didn't listen to his nonsense and started thinking about his options. As things stood, he couldn't defeat this old man, but he was still young, and youth was his asset; the future was his. As for not being able to father a son...

At worst, I can have a daughter later.

"What? You feel pain now? If you want to fight, then come on, otherwise get lost. For Itachi's sake, don't let me see you in the village again."

Seeing that the second male lead had been dawdling for so long, Shanks said impatiently, "If it weren't for the fact that I still need him for something important, I would have beaten him into a complete idiot today."

"Hmph! I'll get my revenge someday..."

The second male lead is just that tough; he might lose the fight, but he won't lose his spirit. After shouting his words to bolster his morale, he sheathed his sword, turned around, and walked away, panty-puff...

"Hey, you've been out in the world, haven't you? You know how to talk big now. Kid, come back here, let's have a verbal battle..."

Shanks' fire has arrived too. This guy in pants has actually learned to talk trash. Who would have thought?

"........"

Upon hearing Shanks' words, the second male lead quickened his pace and vanished into the night sky.

"Hehe, the captain is still as powerful as ever."

The fight's over, it's time for Snake to show up and sweep the floor...

"He's too weak. He possesses the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, yet he can only summon a rudimentary Susanoo. He's a disgrace to his grandfather's father..."

Shanks pursed his lips. Although he wasn't entirely sure if Kagami was actually his grandfather's father, he figured he probably was. Only Kagami, a descendant of the Uchiha clan, had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan...

"Hehe, the captain seems to know his eyes very well? If I remember correctly, the captain just said Eternal Kaleidoscope."

Snake said with a smile.

"...Now that things have come to this, I won't lie to you. Do you remember when I told you about fighting that mysterious person in the Land of Rain and then fooling Danzo?"

Seeing how humble and eager to learn Orochimaru was, and considering that the finale was not far off, Shanks figured it wouldn't hurt to tell him.

"I remember the captain saying that the mysterious person was very powerful. Could it be that his eyes are the Eternal Kaleidoscope? Or an advanced version of the Kaleidoscope?"

Snake is indeed Snake; he guessed it right away.

"That's right, and I actually know who that person is, but... it's just too shocking. I was afraid no one would believe me if I told them, so I didn't. Now you should be able to guess who that person is, right?"

777. Hiruzen Sarutobi: I'll fight ten of them.

“It’s unbelievable, everyone thought he was dead.”

With Orochimaru's intelligence, Shanks' words made him realize the man's identity. In fact, he had suspected it back then, but he didn't believe it himself. Now, thinking about it, it really makes sense. It's said that only Hashirama Senju said Madara died in front of him, but there was no record of Madara's body. This is a loophole. Considering Hashirama Senju's love for Madara, even if Madara betrayed Konoha, even if Madara carried out terrorist attacks on Konoha, Madara's contributions to the establishment of Konoha and the end of the Warring States period are undeniable. He was someone who could be buried in a cemetery with the village flag even after he died. How could Hashirama Senju let his beloved's body be left in the wilderness? This is the biggest suspicious point. If Hashirama Senju made a decision when he was alive, Tobirama Senju's objections would have been useless.

At the time, everyone was probably too busy building the village and forgot about this small detail. Moreover, Hashirama Senju was a god-like figure, so no one would doubt that he was dead. Or perhaps Madara was indeed dead at that time. However, the Uchiha clan has forbidden techniques, just like the forbidden technique Danzo used before. As the strongest man in Uchiha history, Madara couldn't possibly not know this forbidden technique. The more Orochimaru thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"It's not that I'm overconfident; if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and experienced it firsthand, I wouldn't have believed it. You have no idea how powerful Madara was. He could make even an ordinary Fire Release technique cause damage like a forbidden technique. Otherwise, given his old age and frailty, I probably would have had to fight him for days. I didn't understand before either. With the same Mangekyou Sharingan, Madara was so strong while others were so weak. It wasn't until Itachi awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan and I saw a record in his clan that he told me. It turns out that Madara's Mangekyou Sharingan was an advanced version. Using an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan too much can blind you, but the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan won't. Moreover, its power is much stronger than the ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan. The conditions for advancing to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan are very strict. You need to transplant the eyes of your brother who has also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Madara did indeed have a brother who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan back then. My second uncle said he was a flawless ninja. Of course, I can't rule out that my second uncle was exaggerating a bit, after all, he was the one who cut down that flawless ninja world."

"Sasuke Uchiha's Sharingan pattern is so complex, it's obviously the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan after he transplanted Itachi's eyes. But he's still too young and his strength is still a bit weak."

Just as possessing Wood Release doesn't automatically make someone a second Hashirama Senju, possessing the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan doesn't automatically make someone a second Madara Uchiha. Furthermore, the second male lead's two eyes have incredibly weak abilities. One is Amaterasu, the strongest physical attack that only ever burned cannon fodder, and the other is something that only alters Amaterasu's form. What's the point of such abilities? I don't know what Kishimoto was thinking. He already gave the second male lead a power-up, why not give him something more substantial, like superhuman stamina or the ability to change size...?

"It seems the Uchiha clan is truly extraordinary."
