Konoha Drunkard

The people inside the room were dumbfounded; they had no idea that this could be done in such a way.

"Alright, alright, I'll give him the summoning scroll after Nawaki graduates!" Seeing Shanks's persistent attitude, Hiruzen Sarutobi wondered if he should dig up the coffins of the two Hokage and play the victim if Shanks didn't agree.

"That's more like it. I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it, when you see those two in the future, you can say, 'I even gave away my strongest summoning beast.' Doesn't that make you look much more respectable than them?" Shanks deliberately looked at the three of them as he said the last sentence.

"Of course, Xiao Qing can have the meal for free. After all, she's taught Qingzi for me for so many years. I'll talk to them for you!" Shanks said quickly when he felt the hand on his waist.

After speaking, he looked at the other two...

"I really don't have anything to give away. Most of my ninjutsu was taught to me by the Second Hokage!" Mitokado Homura shrugged. He was the most straightforward person. His clan was relatively small, and his own ninjutsu was taught by the Second Hokage.

"I'll give him two elite Jonin as bodyguards!" Danzo said, his face dark. Damn it, he killed five of them recently, and now he has to painfully give away two more. Danzo felt a pang of regret.

"Look! Danzo is so generous, sending two elite Jonin at once! They must be from the Shimura clan, right? You know Root is too gloomy, not suitable to keep children company," Shanks said deliberately. He wouldn't even dare to accept Root members, let alone Nawaki.

"It's the Shimura clan. I'll send someone when he's three years old." Danzo didn't want to stay any longer, so he left without saying goodbye.

"Brother Danzo, are you in a bad mood lately?" Shanks asked, feigning curiosity.

"He's been busy lately, he must be tired," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, trying to cover for his best friend.

Afterwards, Shanks and Senju Kima saw the three off with satisfaction. Haruko had been living in the Senju clan's territory since Grandma Inoue passed away, since there were plenty of empty houses.

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

After Nawaki was born, he never left Mito's arms except when he was being fed. Tsunade couldn't even hold him, just like when Tsunade was a baby and never left Hashirama Senju's arms.

"Grandma, let me hold my little brother!" Tsunade pleaded. These past few days, Nawaki's wrinkled skin had started to become smooth and delicate, and he was chubby and adorable. But Nawaki would let Haruko hold him, let Mito hold him, let his mother hold him, but he wouldn't let Tsunade hold him, much to the family's puzzlement. Only Shanks knew the reason, which is why Shanks admired Nawaki so much—he knew how to seek milk from a young age! Truly a member of the Senju clan, born different from everyone else. Tsunade was born wanting dice, Nawaki was born seeking milk.

“He cries every time you hug him. It seems he’s been intimidated by the masculine aura you exude,” Shanks chuckled.

"Damn it, how could that be? I've always been very gentle, okay?" Tsunade raised her fist as if to strike.

"Charisma is innate. Even if you dress like your aunt or sister-in-law Miho, it can't hide your innate masculine aura. Tsunade, give up. Your persona has always been domineering!" Shanks exclaimed.

However, Rope Tree really does look a lot like the male protagonist. Perhaps it's because he looks like the male protagonist but isn't actually the male protagonist that he died so young. I wonder if his personality and intelligence are as stupid as the male protagonist's. If so, it's no wonder the world killed him off; his death is basically a setup for the male protagonist's future.

Just like how the second male lead looks a lot like Madara's younger brother Izuna, Madara's brother was still able to be killed by Tobirama Senju even with the Mangekyou Sharingan. Otherwise, do you really think that the Uchiha clan with the Mangekyou Sharingan are so easy to kill, especially since they are known as "flawless" ninjas? How could they possibly know Tobirama Senju's strength and still be so careless?

So this serves as a reminder to later time travelers: you can transmigrate into anyone, but never transmigrate into someone who looks like the protagonist but isn't actually the protagonist. Unless God gives you an invincible system from birth that grants you unparalleled power...

Thankfully, Shanks doesn't have any of those weird Uchiha, Uzumaki, Senju, or Uzumaki bloodlines. As a pure-blooded Uzumaki, Shanks isn't worried about resembling anyone from Naruto. Otherwise, without a system, he'd be in deep trouble...

"I wonder if the Seven Star Sword I gave him and Hiruzen Sarutobi's staff, which's supposedly the strongest summoning beast, can save him..." Shanks realized he looked far too simple... Fighting the will of a world is just...

The will of the Six Paths Sage alone has been enough to manipulate the ninja world for over a thousand years, let alone the world's will that can manipulate the Six Paths Sage's mother—that's no joke.

"Should I give him another pair of Tenseigan?" Shanks thought to himself. But then he realized it was impractical. He didn't even know how to get to the moon. So many people had gone there; many memories of their past lives were long gone, and he didn't remember many details of the Hokage story. It would be good enough if he could remember some of the main events. And the main events were 60 years after Konoha's founding; it's only Konoha's 22nd year now! The protagonist's parents haven't even been born yet... Who knows if there are any Tenseigan eyes on the moon right now?

"Shanks, what are you daydreaming about? You're getting married in two months. Don't you have any plans?" Tsunade asked, noticing Shanks lost in thought.

"It's because I'm getting married soon that I'm spacing out. Don't you know marriage is a man's grave? I never thought I'd already have one foot in the grave at 17," Shanks said dismissively.

"What do you know, you little brat? I married Tsunade's grandfather when I was 14, and some people in our clan got married even earlier than me. What grave is there?" Mito smacked his dog on the head.

"What? I never thought my uncle was such a beast! Aunt, you were only 14 years old and he still did it!" Shanks teased, feigning shock.

“What’s with that awful thing? The world was in chaos back then, and it was normal for four- or five-year-olds to go to war. The longest they lived was only a little over 60, which was considered a long life. Your grandfather died before he was 40, so there were plenty of people who got married and had children at the age of 12,” Mito recalled.

59. Blue-haired brat, if you look again, I'll smash your head in! (Seeking flowers/favorites)

"Aunt, did you know that Madara Uchiha loves Uncle very much?" Shanks gossiped.

Tsunade stared at Shanks in shock.

"Haha, who told you that? But... come to think of it, I also feel like Madara Uchiha was looking at me strangely!" Mito joked.

Shanks immediately activated his Observation Haki to its fullest extent, only feeling relieved after sensing that there were no white objects... If Madara heard this, I wonder if he would activate his Rinnegan and glare at him to death.

"What! Uchiha Madara is actually that kind of person!" Tsunade was stunned!

"Haha! Just kidding. Besides, Madara Uchiha and your grandfather knew each other since they were very young. It's just that their relationship was complicated, so the rumors in the ninja world got more and more outlandish. Sigh! If he hadn't left Konoha, so many things wouldn't have happened in the ninja world!" Mito sighed.

"Kurama, how did you get captured by Madara Uchiha back then? You're so pathetic..." Shanks said disdainfully, looking down on Kurama.

"I can't hear you, I can't hear you, I can't hear you!" Nine-Tails.

Shanks pursed his lips. If Madara doesn't leave Konoha, is he still Madara? Before the protagonist was born, the Six Paths' will was the best at fooling people.

..........

February of Konoha Year 23: Konoha Village was filled with joy. The Senju clan's territory hadn't been this lively in a long time; it was packed with people, not just ninjas, but also many villagers. A group of people, carrying children and gifts, arrived at the entrance of the Senju clan's territory. At the gate, a white-haired man accepted the invitation while maintaining that damned smile.

Who is this white-haired guy? Jiraiya? Impossible. The only white-haired guys in Konoha are Jiraiya and Sakumo Hatake. Needless to say, if it's not Jiraiya, then it must be Sakumo Hatake!

Who's so important that Sakumo Hatake, the head of the Anbu, is working as a doorman? Does he not want to stay in Konoha anymore?

At this moment, Hatake Sakumo was exhausted, not physically, but mentally. He regretted agreeing to that damned thing in the first place. He had never laughed so many times or spoken so much in his entire life.

There's no way around it; a lifelong best friend is essential, no matter how tiring it is, you have to get through it. Why? Because it's all about Konoha's Red-Haired Shanks, of course!

"Haha! Hello, Brother Sakumo! This is a gift from me!" The second member of the "gambling, prostitution and drug gang" has arrived. Jiraiya handed a thick book to Sakumo. He dared not give it directly to Shanks, otherwise he would get beaten up again.

"This is my first book, and it hasn't even been sold yet!" Jiraiya said proudly! This book is a masterpiece he wrote after nearly ten years of research into human body art. It's something very precious to him, and it's truly rare for him to give it to Shanks...

Shanks: "Who wants your little notebook!"

"Wow, so many people came today! It's even more lively than my teacher's wedding!" Orochimaru said, handing over the invitation.

"Ahem, there are indeed quite a lot of people!" Sakumo Hatake coughed to ease his embarrassment.

Who the hell sends out wedding invitations everywhere? Most ninjas only invite close ninja friends and villagers who aren't ninjas. Large clans wouldn't invite villagers at all. But Shanks had Sakumo Hatake use the Anbu to send invitations to the entire village! In Shanks' words, "I'm getting married, I'll have to support a family later, so I might as well collect some gifts now, I won't have another chance." You wouldn't invite the whole village to your baby's birth either!

"Haha! Clan Chief Uchiha, you're too kind. Just your presence is enough; there's no need for gifts! It's too extravagant!" Shanks, dressed in his wedding attire, stood at the entrance of the mansion. He could be polite in words, but his actions spoke volumes. The Uchiha clan was a powerful and wealthy family; even a small portion of their wealth could support Shanks' family for many years.

"Haha, how could we not bring a gift to Lord Shanks' wedding!" Uchiha Green Hat Yuta laughed, inwardly despising him for inviting the whole village just to get a gift.

"Haha! Please come in, let's drink until we drop!" Shanks invited Uchiha Green Hat Yuta into the house.

"Oh dear, Hyuga clan leader! Why didn't you bring the two young clan leaders? It's enough that you came, but bringing gifts is too much trouble. Please come in..."

Shanks was tired, but only physically; he was incredibly happy. The gift he received tonight would allow him to avoid missions for decades. And it was a very rich gift at that. Thinking about this, Shanks grinned from ear to ear.

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him. It was Mito who followed him. When he said he wanted to invite the whole village, his family objected, but he gave a strong reason: they were all married and would have to support their families in the future, so he should take this opportunity to collect more gifts.

Mito sat happily in the main seat, chatting with the four leaders of Konoha and a group of clan heads. Today was the day Nawaki was born, a day she was overjoyed with. For so many years, she had raised Shanks like a son, even closer than to Koma. After all, he was the son of her deceased younger brother, and having grown up without parents, she cared for him even more than she had for Koma when he was young. Although he was a bit mischievous as a child, mischief was considered cute by all parents.

Now that their child is finally getting married, Mito lets Shanks have his way with his compelling reasons. After all, it's a once-in-a-lifetime event, and as long as the child is happy, that's all that matters.

Having just finished entertaining the head of the Hyuga clan, they saw another white-haired man and a quiet, handsome man walking over.

"Captain, congratulations," Orochimaru said, then handed him a box.

"Just showing up is enough, why bother with gifts! Honestly," Shanks said swiftly and efficiently.

Tsunade covering her face was so embarrassing!

"Jiraiya, you really didn't come empty-handed, did you?" Shanks said slowly with disdain.

"How could that be? I didn't know it was originally meant for you. I gave it to Brother Sakumo. You can ask him for it later!" Jiraiya waved his hand and explained.

"Really?" Shanks simply couldn't believe that Jiraiya wouldn't know the rules. There must be something shady about the things he gave him.

"Really, that's right! Orochimaru and I signed up for a summoning beast a while ago! I'll show you in a few days!" Jiraiya quickly changed the subject!

"What kind of summoning beast could it be... In the face of the strong, anything external is meaningless; only personal strength matters!" Shanks said smugly.

"It's amazing, okay! Just don't be surprised!" Jiraiya shouted.

Shanks pursed his lips. "What's so surprising about me? It's just a toad and a proud snake..."

Shanks felt someone watching him and turned around to see a handsome young man with blue hair. However, he wasn't looking at Shanks, but rather at the "Three Evils" beside him! No, to be more precise, he was looking at the tough, violent woman among the "Three Evils"!

That infatuated look sent chills down Shanks' spine.

"Tsunade, someone's spying on you. Could it be someone trying to flirt with you?" Shanks teased.

"What?! Who's so blind as to spy on this violent freak?!" Jiraiya was habitually courting death, and Tsunade wouldn't give up on beating him for any reason.

"Bang! Thud!" A clean and perfect fall to the ground!

"Seriously, look at that handsome young boy with blue hair. To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen someone your age who's more handsome than Orochimaru!" Shanks said.

"Impossible, right? There's someone who's more beautiful than Orochimaru?" Jiraiya was beyond saving.

"Hiss!" Orochimaru gave Jiraiya a sinister look.

The three followed Shanks' gaze and indeed, Orochimaru was the kind of quiet, cold, and strangely handsome man.

The blue-haired boy seemed very cheerful. When he saw the four people looking at him, he was not afraid and smiled at them generously.

"Right? Look at the way he looks at Tsunade, that infatuation, that tenderness, it gives anyone else goosebumps!" Shanks laughed.

"when"

Tsunade was furious; how dare they embarrass her in front of so many people.

Shanks, seemingly unfazed by the punch, joked, "Tsunade, I think that blue-haired boy is quite a good match for you. Judging from his demeanor, his family must be quite wealthy enough for you to squander. Besides, his handsomeness is a perfect match for your aunt-like appearance!"

"Damn it, stop talking! And you, blue-haired brat, if you keep this up I'll smash your head in!" Tsunade shouted at the blue-haired boy.

quiet.........

The room was silent, everyone staring at Tsunade. "Haha! Sorry, Jiraiya has annoyed Tsunade again. You guys continue, continue! ... My dear niece, give me some face today, we can talk about it tomorrow, okay!" Shanks coaxed Tsunade, completely forgetting that he was the one who had provoked her.

"It's all because of you, you bastard!" Tsunade rarely gave her face like this.

"Isn't that someone from the Kato clan? He's here too?" Sakumo Hatake came over after greeting the guests.

"The Kato clan? Never heard of them," Shanks asked. He only knew that Tsunade would have a boyfriend named Kato Dan, and assumed they were commoners!

"Well, a small family. They were distant relatives of our Hatake clan during the Warring States period," Sakumo said.

"So you and him are related?" Shanks raised an eyebrow.

"It's been many generations, and it's only mentioned briefly in some family books, so I don't know either," Hatake Sakumo said, shrugging his shoulders.

60. Another tailed beast?

"Didn't their clan have a man known as the Right Hand of God? Named Kato Taka?" Shanks laughed.

"The Right Hand of God? That's so cool!" Jiraiya exclaimed in shock.

"Of course, it's said that the vibration frequency of his right hand fingers can reach more than a thousand times per second. Impressive, isn't it?" Shanks laughed.
