Konoha Drunkard

"Bang! Bang!!!"

Before the old man could finish speaking, he felt an earthquake; the office desk began to tremble slightly.

"Well, we've started fighting." The burlap sack said helplessly, shrugging.

Raikage A is also a battle maniac who loves hand-to-hand combat. When he encounters Shanks, neither of them dodges; they exchange punches and kicks.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The entire village was trembling slightly. When a group of ninjas arrived at the battle site, they took a deep breath. The surrounding mountains were almost completely destroyed by the two of them.

"Hell Thrust - Penetrating Hand!"

"Superhuman Strength Armor - Show Off Your Face with a Fist!"

"Bang bang bang!!"

The two exchanged blows, the surrounding air seeming to shatter from their combined force. Their punches grew increasingly powerful, forcing the surrounding Cloud Ninja to retreat a considerable distance before finally stopping.

"Lord Murakami, I think you should be careful lately. If that Shanks from Konoha were to come to your house and unleash his Tailed Beast, even the Raikage wouldn't be able to stop him!" Azabu Kyuu said to the old man Murakami with a very worried expression.

Looking at the two figures on the battlefield, utterly lacking any skill and simply relying on brute force, the old man Murakami felt a chill run down his spine. He wanted to slap himself in the face. "Serves you right for being so cocky! Serves you right for being so cocky!"

In the entire ninja world, only Shanks could go toe-to-toe with the Third Raikage; their strength, speed, and defense were roughly equal. The two fought for a month, eventually collapsing from exhaustion.

Shanks had never felt so good. Before, when he fought Sakumo one-on-one, he had to hold back, and Sakumo was a technically skilled ninja, making the fight awkward. This time, against the Third Raikage at his peak, he could go all out without holding back, not worrying about his opponent getting hurt at all.

This past month has been a disaster for Kumogakure, even worse than the Eight-Tails' rampage. For the past month, from day to night, there has been a constant "bang! bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang" sound, along with occasional tremors! Even the young ladies of Kumogakure are terrified!

57. Danzo was just seconds away from becoming Hokage. (Requesting flowers and favorites)

"Haha! Everyone, I'm going back to Konoha. Don't miss me too much!" Shanks waved to a group of Cloud Ninja who had come with Raikage A to see him off at the entrance of Kumogakure!

"Lord Shanks, please come visit often when you have time!"

"Lord Shanks, let's have another drinking contest next time!"

"Shanks..."

Shanks couldn't help but marvel at how the Cloud Ninja were mostly muscular brutes, much easier to get along with! In just over a month in Cloud Village, aside from two fights with the Raikage A, he'd become sworn brothers with him after only ten days of drinking together. Seeing those tearful, reluctant faces made Shanks' scalp tingle.

However, some people were happy. The old man in the village had lost about ten pounds in just over a month, worrying every day that Shanks would really come to his house and release the tailed beast. Now that Shanks is gone, he's at home clapping his hands with his wife, who is 60 years younger than him, looking like he's back to his peak.

Many villagers were also happy, finally able to get a good night's sleep. Heaven knows how they survived a month.

Shanks, the Red-Haired Man of Konoha, fought a month-long battle with Raikage A in Kumogakure, destroying four mountains in the process. In the end, both were exhausted and fought to a draw, a feat that spread throughout the ninja world.

In recent years, Shanks' name has occasionally shaken the ninja world, but at most he's only killed some S-rank rogue ninjas, and his strength varies. Now, however, he's incredible—the strongest lightning ninja in history, with the strongest defense and the strongest spear.

The two of them actually fought for a month. Is that even humanly possible?

And they even smashed four mountains to pieces!

After receiving the intelligence, the Tsuchikage silently gazed towards the Ninja Academy, which had just been established the previous year.

When the Kazekage saw the intelligence, he clenched and unclenched his fists. He wanted to avenge Shamon, but damn it, he really couldn't beat the Raikage. That guy was at his peak.

Chiyo seemed to see the scene of being deceived by a child again. Unconsciously, an image of a white-haired brat holding a short sword appeared in her mind...

The Land of Water remained as calm as ever, with the Mizukage, Shokuta, calmly reviewing the intelligence reports...

The people of Konoha were ecstatic! Lord Shanks had actually fought the Raikage to a draw! Damn it!!

Sakumo Hatake: "You beat one?... Two perverts."

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "My lords, Shanks has grown up, you can rest assured!"

"What! That bastard is that strong? No way, I have to work harder too!" After saying that, Jiraiya started to work hard... reading erotic comics.

Hiroshi Sarutobi would sit under the big tree by the door every day. He would occasionally say to the students passing by, "You must study hard, just like my student, Shanks from Konoha."

......

Shanks, carrying the Seven Star Sword, closed his eyes. ←↓→↑←↓→↓→

The next moment, his figure appeared on the Hokage's office desk.

"............" Hiruzen Sarutobi was using a crystal ball to check the happiness index of the girls in Konoha.

Shanks jumped off the table and sneered at him, "Being Hokage to this level is really cool. No wonder so many people want to be it!"

"Ahem! Is that the Seven Star Sword you're holding?" Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed a few times to cover his embarrassment and change the subject.

"Ah! Not bad, right? Rope Tree is about to be born, you can take it and give it to him." Shanks knew exactly what he was up to, and simply tossed him the Seven Star Sword. Anyway, only those with the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths could use it.

"Alas! This is the sword that killed Lord Ito." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the sword with sadness.

"When I left the Land of Fire, I encountered twenty ninjas, five elite Jonin and fifteen Chunin, but I killed them. I sensed a sealing energy on their tongues..." Shanks and Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking and then disappeared, not caring what Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi heard Shanks mention the seal on the tongue, he already knew it was Danzo's doing. He never expected Danzo to be so insane.

..........

"Brother Kima, where's Tsunade? I haven't seen her since I came back last time." Shanks looked at Kima curiously the next morning. His younger brother was almost born, but he wasn't home.

"Ah, she's on a mission. She should be back the day after tomorrow," Mujian said.

"It's really big, who does it look like?" Shanks quipped.

"Haha! Mother said she misses Father." Senju Kichiji changed the subject.

"After Nawaki was born, she was more like her uncle. Now she's violent, a gambling addict, and a heavy drinker. Aren't you worried she won't be able to get married?" Shanks complained, even though she'll have plenty of milk later!

“It’s okay. Tsunade is just like me. She’s so beautiful, I’m sure a lot of people will want to pursue her in the future,” Mito said proudly as she walked in.

"Hehe (first tone) Auntie, I do have a lot of thoughts about pursuing her, but the problem is I don't dare to! I heard that she almost killed Jiraiya half a year ago." Shanks deliberately emphasized "thoughts" and "dared".

Mito sat down and patted his dog's head. "So, how was it? Was Kumogakure fun? You've caused quite a stir in the ninja world. Didn't you meet any new girls besides fighting?"

"Ah! I am like a firefly in the night. No matter where I go, the darkness cannot stop me from shining. Sometimes I am also very annoyed!" Shanks exuded a faint aura of arrogance.

.......

Underground in a forest in Konoha.

"Danzo, don't you need to give me an explanation for why you sent people to attack the Cloud Ninja envoy?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly to Danzo.

"Hiruzen, I'm doing this for the village. Once the Cloud Village ninjas have mastered the power of the Tailed Beasts, will those high-ranking members of the Cloud Village still be able to remain so peaceful? Hiruzen, you need to understand how our teacher died! And you've seen it yourself, Shanks can fight the Third Raikage to a draw. As long as Shanks can hold him off, we are fully capable of destroying the Cloud Village!" Danzo said.

"Danzo, do you want another world war? We've already lost enough people in Konoha." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo with a serious expression.

"All sacrifices before true peace are worthwhile, Hiruzen. Only after we unify the ninja world will the world truly be at peace!" Danzo became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could already see the day when he unified the ninja world, when he became the king of the ninja world, and when Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearing the Golden Cloth and radiating holy light, was crowned in front of him, and then he woke up.

Looking at the lecherous, short, bearded man in front of him, Danzo felt a surge of resentment. Why? Why was he the Hokage just a few seconds later? Danzo turned around and clenched his fists tightly with all his might.

"Did you even kill Shanks?" Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at Danzo.

"..." Danzo fell silent for a moment. To be honest, he had indeed considered killing Shanks and Sakumo Hatake. They were clearly Sarutobi's allies, and their strength and talent were both formidable. With their help, Hiruzen Sarutobi's position as Hokage would be much more secure. However, neither of them was easy to kill. One was the head of the Anbu, and his strength was considerable. The other was already fighting the Raikage to a standstill. Even if he wanted to kill them, he wouldn't have the chance. All the elite Jonin that Root had painstakingly cultivated over the years had been wiped out by them. Years of his hard work had been destroyed in an instant.

"There won't be a next time, or I'll take back your power in Root, Danzo. I mean what I say." Hiruzen Sarutobi gave his best friend a deep look and walked out of Root.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi left, Danzo remained motionless. Only now did he realize that his Root organization meant nothing to the Hokage, who could take back his power at any time. He had never felt such a strong desire for the Hokage position as he did now.

........

In November of Konoha Year 22, at the Senju clan's territory, Shanks, the Senju Koma family, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with two high-ranking members, waited anxiously outside the delivery room while Koharu Utatane delivered the baby inside.

Unlike when Tsunade was born, the first and second generation Senju clan members went to have tea with the Six Paths Elder after that, and the Senju clan members also dispersed. So now, there are only a few people waiting for the birth of Senju Nawaki. Shanks isn't nervous at all this time, since he didn't appear much in the original work, only mentioned in a few sentences. However, while Shanks isn't nervous, some people are, such as the blonde girl dangling in front of him.

"Tsunade, stop shaking, she'll be out in a minute!" Mito looked at Tsunade and remembered Shanks doing the same thing when he was a child.

"Okay, okay!" Tsunade replied perfunctorily, without stopping.

Shanks rolled his eyes.

"Waaaaah!" A baby's cry came from inside the house.

"Haha! I have a little brother!" Tsunade exclaimed excitedly.

"when!"

"Damn it, what are you looking at!" Tsunade punched Shanks on the head.

"You said it yourself!" Shanks pouted.

Thank you for the generous donation! Thank you everyone for your monthly votes!

58. Hiruzen Sarutobi, the first and second Hokage, you've been so kind to me! "Please give me flowers!" "Please add to your favorites!"

Not long after, Haruko came out of the delivery room covered in sweat.

"Mother and baby are safe! They can go in soon."

"Really? Isn't my little brother cute? Doesn't he look like me?" Tsunade started rambling on after hearing Haruko's words.

Haruko was still very polite, "Yeah! You look a lot like me."

Not long after, everyone entered the delivery room. Tsunade saw the baby, Rope Tree, whose skin was wrinkled. She frowned and said, "What is this? So ugly. It doesn't look like me at all."

Shanks looked up at the sky, saying the same things he did when he was a child.

"You looked just like this when you were born. Shanks thought you were ugly back then," Mito teased. Haruko covered her mouth and chuckled beside her.

"What?! You bastard, you dare to say I'm ugly?!" Tsunade exploded, delivering a powerful punch to Shanks' head.

"when!"

Shanks cleverly used Armament Haki to cover his head.

"Hey, you even use superhuman strength punches on your own uncle. No wonder Jiraiya almost got killed by you. Aunt, look at her now, who would want her?" Shanks said to Mito after teasing Tsunade.

......

After Miho and Nawaki went to sleep, Shanks and Kima entertained Hiruzen Sarutobi and the three advisors of Konoha.

"You guys didn't all come here to give away the Seven Star Sword, did you? You four top leaders of Konoha only give away one Seven Star Sword? That's so low-class!" Shanks sneered at the four men. He ignored Haruko's 360-degree spin around his waist, twisting her soft flesh—who told him to call her teacher?

"Ahem, the four of us don't have anything else to offer. This sword is a ninja tool of the Sage of Six Paths," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, feigning pitifulness.

"You have it, you have it. I heard your summoning beast is known as the strongest in the ninja world. You could reserve a spot for Nawaki, right? You can't expect Nawaki to summon a slug in the future, can you? If that's the case, what will the ninja world think of you, Hiruzen Sarutobi? Just imagine, people will say, 'Look at the Hokage of Konoha, so stingy! He won't even give his strongest summoning beast to the grandsons of his two teachers. Not giving it to Tsunade is one thing, she's a girl, but not even giving it to her grandson is too much. All the Senju clan's summoning beasts are slugs.' If you can listen to this later, then disregard what I said," Shanks said, mimicking the old lady next door.

"Well, the Enma is quite arrogant. Unless you can gain its approval, you can't communicate with it," Hiruzen Sarutobi said somewhat awkwardly. Damn it, I knew this brat wasn't so kind as to only send their Seven Star Swords.

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Shanks ran back to his room and brought over two small statues of the two Hokage that he had carved. He cried out with a sorrowful expression, "Uncle, Second Uncle! You died too young! If you had died later, you could have seen the Nawaki Tree!! Look at this Hiruzen Sarutobi, after becoming Hokage he became ruthless, unwilling to give even a stick. You really wasted your love for him!!" It all sounded so fake.
