Konoha Drunkard

"Old man, I don't care how you insult me! But you shouldn't have insulted our Thousand Hands Clan. If I don't show you the power of the Thousand Hands Clan, you really won't know why the flowers are so red!"

Rope Tree, who was running ahead, suddenly stopped and said to them with a serious expression.

"...Big brother, could this kid really have some trick up his sleeve?"

Seeing that Rope Tree suddenly stopped running and seemed to want to fight them head-on, Silver Horn felt guilty and asked Gold Horn in a low voice.

"...It's hard to say. After all, he is a descendant of Hashirama Senju. It's normal that he might have some tricks up his sleeve. We should be careful."

Jinjiao said cautiously, "The other party is a member of the Senju clan, and with someone as cunning as Tobirama Senju, who can guarantee that he won't leave behind some messy forbidden techniques for his descendants? Back when they were chasing Tobirama Senju, they were almost driven insane by his messy forbidden techniques, and in the end, they were finally killed by the Third Raikage."

"Wood Release: Sage Art!!"

Rope Tree, with his seemingly chaotic hand seals, shouted out the first four words with an imposing air. Kinkaku and Ginkaku were terrified. Although they couldn't understand the messy hand seals, when they heard "Wood Release: Sage Art," they gripped their divine artifacts tightly, their backs covered in cold sweat. Sure enough, there was a backup plan!

"Watch out, Hashirama Senju's Wood Release!"

Golden Horn nervously stared at Rope Tree, trying to remind Silver Horn beside him.

"Sister, help me!"

"You bastard! You dare to play me! Attack!"

Kinkaku, who was anxiously waiting for the Wood Release to arrive, heard Rope Tree's last roar and knew that he had been tricked by this brat again. His emotionless eyes seemed to burn with raging anger, and he charged forward angrily with Ginkaku.

"Spirit Summoning Technique: Triple Rashomon!"

"Super Strength Fist!"

Just as Jinjiao and Yinjiao were about to rush to the front of the Rope Tree, a male and a female voice came from behind the Rope Tree. Three imposing gates appeared in front of them, and a domineering figure jumped out and delivered an iron fist to Jinjiao!

"boom!"

Golden Horn was also a veteran fighter. The moment the iron fist came crashing down, he forcibly twisted his body and pulled Silver Horn backward. The iron fist slammed into the ground, causing a huge earthquake.

"Phew... Sis, thank goodness you came, otherwise you would really have to visit my grave next year."

Nawaki ran up and hugged Tsunade's leg with tears in his eyes.

"Heh! The great seniors of Kumogakure, Kinkaku and Ginkaku who possess the Six Paths Tools, I didn't expect even you to come out."

Snake looked at the Gold and Silver Horns carrying those strange weapons in their hands with a sinister gaze, his eyes burning with envy. The Six Paths Tools! Although only those with the Six Paths bloodline could use them, it wouldn't be bad to study them. Of the Six Paths Tools, he had only studied the Seven Star Sword in Nawaki's hand. He was very curious about the wonders of the Six Paths Tools.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

Tsunade was as domineering as ever. As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, Tsunade roared at him, raised her fist, and charged forward.

Nawaki, wielding a staff in his left hand and a sword in his right, followed in the footsteps of the two. Tsunade was the main damage dealer, Orochimaru was the support, and Nawaki was the sneaky one-man attacker.

The trio fought fiercely against the Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

The main problem was Tsunade's monstrous strength. Her Tenshu Kick was terrifying; every punch and kick, whether it hit or not, created earth-shattering effects. Kinkaku and Ginkaku grew increasingly alarmed and frustrated as the fight progressed. This incredibly powerful woman's strength was monstrous. They had parried several times, and now their hands gripping their divine weapons were trembling. Adding to the chaos was a sinister figure who constantly unleashed snakes to entangle them. Just as they dodged the troublesome snakes, a black stick would suddenly appear out of nowhere. Especially that brat wielding the stick—he was incredibly lewd, hiding far away and using the stick to occasionally poke them...

Although they wouldn't die, the constant attacks from Nawaki were driving them crazy.

"You damned bastard, you brat from the Senju clan, if you have the guts, fight me one-on-one! What kind of man hides behind someone and attacks me from behind!"

Silver Horn's mentality was worse than Gold Horn's; his mentality had already collapsed. Having just recovered from Tsunade's iron fist, he charged towards Rope Tree, who was playing with a stick in the distance, filled with boundless rage.

"Old man! Come on over here if you dare. If you can come over here, I'll give you a beating with both hands and three legs!"

Rope Tree wasn't backing down either; he hadn't backed down in his verbal battles until reinforcements arrived, let alone now that they had!

"Triple Rashomon!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Damn it, that trick again!"

Silver Horn, who had smashed through the first door, glared at the sinister Snake Uncle with gritted teeth. Otherwise, he would have already killed that sleazy Thousand Hands clan member several times over.

"...Karin, your father is really..."

The Konoha ninjas who were fighting the White Zetsu army finished off the battle. Kinkaku and Ginkaku were tied up. Although the White Zetsu army had a large number of people, their strength was sparse and they were no match for this group of Konoha elites.

Kiba Inuzuka, accompanied by the husky, was speechless at Nawaki's actions. They were indeed quite lewd, managing to anger a resurrected dead person to such an extent. When it comes to lewdness, Karin's father is in a class of his own!

"Um......"

The young Konoha ninja watching nearby nodded in agreement with Kiba Inuzuka's assessment. This Karin's father, the current head of the Senju clan, was completely different from the image they had of the First Hokage—a man whose Wood Release techniques were devastating and arrogantly powerful. They were both Senju, yet the difference was enormous...

811. Snake: I'm not a man anymore....

"Hmph! You're just naive youngsters. It's time to teach you a lesson. Nawaki's fighting style is a famously sneaky style that he developed when he was surrounded and killed during the Third Shinobi World War. He fights and retreats in the crowd, hiding his strength and striking decisively when the opportunity arises. Back then, the Sand Ninja were dragged out by Nawaki's fighting style until our Konoha reinforcements arrived."

A monkey, dressed clean and tidy without a trace of sweat, entered the cave and spoke to the group of young people.

"Sigh! But why do this when we could just fight back head-on?"

One of the young men suddenly realized what was going on, but still didn't quite understand.

"This is called preserving strength. Large-scale wars are different from small-scale battles. In large-scale wars, even a powerful figure like the Third Raikage can be killed by 10,000 people. You must not fight head-on. Those who fight head-on are often the ones who die the fastest."

As Sarutobi entered the cave, he became more and more engrossed in his storytelling. He suddenly realized that being a teacher was quite enjoyable, and that he might be able to become a teacher at a school after the war ended.

"boom!"

"You sneaky bastard, get out of my way, or I'll kill you too!"

Silver Horn knocked down another Rashomon gate and said angrily to Snake Uncle.

"Heh... If you break down the door, I'll move aside..."

Snake discovered that this Silver Horn was either not brought back to his senses by the Impure World Reincarnation or was just naturally brainless. He was wielding the Six Paths' artifact and mindlessly ramming into a door. Wasn't he just out of his mind?

"Alright! You said it yourself, a man's word is his bond!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Upon hearing Snake's words, Silver Horn perked up and continued banging on the door with renewed vigor...

"Hey, Orochimaru-nii, you're really not going to abandon me, are you?"

Rope Tree watched Silver Horn ramming into the door with a pounding heart, especially since the third Rashomon level was about to collapse. He retreated while saying, "?"

"Heh... He did say that a man's word is his bond, but... I'm not a man anymore..."

"Triple Rashomon!"

After Snake finished speaking to Rope Tree in a sinister tone, three more large gates appeared in front of Silver Horn...

"........."

Rope Tree felt a chill run down his spine as he stared at Snake Uncle's alluring back. What had he just said? Was he a woman now?? Having studied human anatomy for decades, Rope Tree increasingly felt that Snake Uncle's body seemed different from that of a normal man...

"Bastards! Liars! You people from Konoha are all big liars! Waaah..."

Silver Horn, who had finally managed to knock down the last door, hadn't even had a chance to be kind when he saw three more incredibly hard Rashomon-like doors appear in front of him. Tears of grievance welled up in his emotionless eyes.

"...Am I the only one who thinks Lord Orochimaru has gone a bit too far?"

A member of the Hyuga clan looked at Ginkaku, who was crying with grievance, and curiously looked at his companions around him.

"...We think so too!"

Their companions answered in unison. After observing the battle for so long, they realized that Silver Horn, a formidable figure from decades ago, was actually an honest man, even somewhat simple-minded. For one of the legendary Sannin to deceive such an honest man like this was indeed rather unethical...

"Oh! I regret it so much..."

At the Allied Shinobi Forces headquarters, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at the lewd Nawaki and the alluring Orochimaru and sighed to the heavens. He shouldn't have listened to that bastard Shanks and let Nawaki and Orochimaru develop freely. Konoha has always been known for its honesty and friendship, but now one is lewd and the other... they have ruined Konoha's image.

.........

"Lord Shanks! The Hokage sent me to inform you that the Hidden Cloud Village is willing to offer you an equal price to go there. The Tsuchikage is about to collapse!"

On the Sand Village front, Shanks had already filled all the sealing scrolls thrown over by the Sand Ninja and was wondering how to fill them with more when a Konoha Anbu appeared in the distance and shouted at him.

"What are you saying! It's so vulgar to talk about money with the old man Raikage, but... if we don't talk about money, they might misunderstand and think I look down on them. Go back and tell them that a 30% discount will be fine!"

Shanks' eyes lit up; another customer had come knocking. He hadn't expected Onoki, the Red-Nosed Demon, to actually go head-to-head with the Raikage, or for a great mage to go head-to-head with an immortal, all-powerful warrior. Wasn't that just asking for trouble...?

Inside the Allied Forces headquarters, Mabuyi was speechless: After saying so much, I thought you didn't want money...

"Lord Shanks, you should at least take care of me first before you go, right?"

Seeing Shanks preparing to leave, Luo Sha shouted anxiously, "Don't think I didn't know you just scooped up so much gold dust from me!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, am I the kind of irresponsible person?"

As Shanks spoke, he shaved behind Rasa, pulled out a thick iron chain, withstood the impact of the golden sand, tied Rasa up, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and quickly headed towards Kumogakure.

"This works?"

The Sand Ninja underlings behind Shanks were dumbfounded by his actions. Their previously formidable Kazekage had been abruptly taken away... What was the purpose of Shanks borrowing their sealing scroll in the first place...?

"...Stop staring blankly, the White Zetsu army hasn't been dealt with yet!"

Maki was also speechless. This Konoha Shanks was simply acting like a thief. Although it was embarrassing for them to have their former leader taken away like this, they didn't have time to care about that now, as the White Zetsu army on the other side was still there.

"Lord Shanks, are you sure you can do this???"

Rosa struggled incessantly on Shanks' shoulder. It wasn't his intention; he didn't want to move, but his body wouldn't obey him.

"You were resurrected and controlled by someone using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and I don't have the ability to kill you. This is the only solution I can think of. You can only ascend to heaven once Kakashi finds the person controlling this forbidden technique..."

As Shanks hurried along, wiping the drool from his mouth, he explained to Rasa that he had kidnapped Rasa for two reasons. First, as an illiterate man, he couldn't possibly kill Rasa. Second, didn't the Cloud Village also have sealing scrolls? He could release the Kazekage, put him into their sealing scrolls, and then fight the Raikage while making money... What a perfect plan! "It's not that I'm not willing to help," Shanks said, "I've already done this twice! Lending a few sealing scrolls isn't too much to ask, is it?"

"........."

Gaara, back at headquarters, watched his father being taken away and wished he could disappear into the ground. He'd already been humiliated enough by Deidara taking him away, and now, both father and son were destined to be taken away...

"Hey......."

Minato and the giant rocket exchanged a glance and sighed simultaneously. This was a live broadcast, and this old guy didn't even know how to restrain himself. Wasn't he just slapping Sunagakure in the face by doing this...?

812. Continuing the romance between men

"Haha! Onoki Red Nose, why are you so bald? Raikage, I'm not trying to be mean, but it's not easy for people to keep those few hairs. You just plucked them all out. That's a bit much."

When Shanks carried Rasa to the Cloud Village, Onoki looked utterly miserable, his eyes bloodshot. Upon seeing Onoki's bald head, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! It's been over a decade, and you're still the same. It's a pity I can't drink with you anymore. I don't know why, but I can't control my body. Watch out, Shanks!"
