Konoha Drunkard

Shanks felt a toothache upon hearing this. "Aunt, Haruko and I are still young. Let's talk about it in a few years. Right now, we're just two kids, and we can't even take care of ourselves."

"I don't need your help, I'm still alive, aren't I?" Mito complained.

"Pah, pah, pah! Good luck. Alright, alright, in two years at most, when the rope tree grows up, I'll give you another one, then you'll have something to play with again, right?" Shanks said ingratiatingly.

"Then it's a deal. You have to give me one before Nawaki turns five." Mito finally let him go this time.

"Yes, yes, I promise!" Shanks said, hugging Rope Tree.

"By the way, it's been a long time since I've seen Brother Kima. What's he up to?" Shanks realized that he hadn't seen Tsunade's father for a long time. He was a simple and honest man who didn't talk much and just smiled foolishly all day.

"I don't know, maybe they went out on a mission!" Mito shook her head.

"You must be joking. When the Senju clan leader has to go on a mission, it's not like Hiruzen Sarutobi can give orders." Shanks said in surprise.

“Then you’re wrong. It’s precisely because the Senju clan’s talents cannot be treated as special that they are special,” Mito said.

"Brother Kima has been at home for years, why is he suddenly going out on a mission? Did he just let loose after giving birth to your child?" Shanks asked Mito.

"Go away, what's it to me...!" Mito suddenly had a bad feeling. Tears streamed down her face involuntarily.

"Aunt, what's wrong!" Shanks asked anxiously when he noticed that Mito was acting strangely and even had tears in her eyes. He had never seen Mito cry before.

Mito wiped away her tears and shook her head, saying, "I don't know, I just suddenly feel a tightness in my chest."

Shanks looked at Mito's belly and said, "Could it be Kurama playing tricks?"

"You brat, don't blame everything on me!" Nine-Tails roared, but Shanks couldn't hear him.

“It’s not the Nine-Tails…” Mito hadn’t finished speaking when she heard footsteps coming from outside the house.

Shanks also looked towards the door. A short while later, Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with the three top officials and some clan heads, entered. Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was grave, his eyes somewhat red. "Lord Mito," he said, "just now... just now, news came from the Anbu that Brother Kima, while covering Jiraiya's retreat in the Land of Water, was... was surrounded and attacked by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and the Three-Tails Jinchuriki. After killing five of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and severely wounding two, he was killed by the Jinchuriki..."

"Sigh... This is probably the fate of the Senju clan... I understand what happened, you can go back now," Mito said calmly.

"...What!" Shanks' eyes turned bloodshot, his angry face twisted like a raging lion, and he slammed his fist on the table, a domineering and powerful aura emanating from his body.

"Crack! Crack!" Cracks began to appear on the walls and floor of the room, and more and more of them appeared. The Jonin with lower strength were dizzy from the shock, and some Anbu members had already fainted.

"This brat has such a strong aura, it's making my chest feel a little tight," Nine-Tails exclaimed in shock inside Mito's stomach, its two big eyes almost popping out.

If even the Nine-Tails was like this, the others present were even more overwhelmed. Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat better off, but he was still flustered by the aura and stared wide-eyed at Shanks. The others, whether the three top leaders or the clan head, were almost crushed by the sheer power of the aura. Cold sweat poured down their bodies.

"boom!"

Cracks appeared in the floors of all the houses in the Senju clan's territory. They looked dilapidated.

"Gudu!"

Everyone swallowed hard; it was terrifying! He could achieve this with just his aura. They stared in fear at Shanks, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

"Hey! Shanks, calm down!" Mito calmly comforted Shanks.

"Brother Kima is dead! Aunt! How can I stay calm?!" Shanks roared furiously!

"Ah! I'm going to kill the Mizukage!" Shanks said, and then his figure disappeared.

"Hey, Sakumo, quickly persuade Shanks to come back!" Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately ordered Sakumo Hatake after Shanks disappeared. Now, only he and Sakumo had any hope of persuading him, and he couldn't leave. He could only hope Sakumo could convince him to return; otherwise, another world war would begin.

"Sigh! You should go back now. Thank you for coming to inform me," Mito said with a sigh.

"Ah, then we'll take our leave. My condolences, Lord Mito!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

Mito waved to them...

Some clan leaders took the unconscious ANBU away. "They just passed out. Shanks' aura is too overwhelming!" Koharu Utatane's complexion hasn't recovered yet!

"That's why I'm scared. I'm afraid that Sakumo won't be able to persuade Shanks, and the world war will begin!" After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi led the way back to the Hokage Building.

"This is a great opportunity, Hiruzen! With us, Shanks, and Sakumo Hatake, we're guaranteed to win! I reckon even the Third Raikage couldn't defeat Shanks right now!" Danzo Kyo exclaimed excitedly. If he had known Shanks possessed such power when angry, why would he have bothered with so much effort and wasted so many brain cells? He also thanked Senju Koma for abandoning his proper role as clan head and instead becoming an idiot to carry out this mission.

We should thank Jiraiya even more, that lecherous brat who wanted to be with Hiruzen. We thought he was useless, but we never expected him to be so useful! Danzo was secretly delighted!

"Danzo, war cannot break out now! The peace that our teachers worked so hard to maintain can't be destroyed in our hands!" Koharu Utatane said seriously, and Homura Mitokado, who was just there for a cameo, also looked serious.

"Hmph! You can try persuading Shanks first!" Danzo was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with a woman.

......

Border of the Land of Fire.

Sakumo Hatake still hadn't found Shanks when he arrived here, but he did find Jiraiya, who was covered in wounds and carrying the corpse of Kijima Senju on his back. There were also two Anbu members behind him.

"Sakumo! Waaah!" Jiraiya looked at Sakumo with red eyes, and before he could speak, he couldn't help but burst into tears!

"This isn't your fault. Lord Koma was protecting the seedlings of Konoha!" If Shanks wasn't good at comforting people, then Sakumo Hatake was even less so. After saying this, he looked at Koma's corpse, unsure of what to do!

"Minister, what brings you here?" a member of the secret service said sadly.

"Something terrible is about to happen. After hearing about Lord Kima's death, Shanks awakened a terrifying aura and said he wanted to kill the Mizukage. I chased after him but couldn't find him!" Hatake Sakumo rubbed his temples.

"What! Lord Shanks is going to kill the Mizukage?" Jiraiya and the two Anbu were dumbfounded. Even a fool would know that if the Mizukage died, a world war would break out! They weren't worried that Shanks wouldn't be able to kill the Mizukage. After all, he was the man who could make the Seven-Tails cry.

"It's all my fault! If I hadn't been so lecherous, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist wouldn't have found out! Damn it!" Jiraiya was filled with deep self-reproach!

"You all take Lord Kima's body back first. I'll infiltrate the Land of Water and search for him." After saying this, Hatake Sakumo immediately headed towards the sea.

68. Great Tengu Sealing Technique

Two days later, Jiraiya and two Anbu members returned to Konoha with Senju Kima's body. Upon arriving at the village entrance, they saw Hiruzen Sarutobi and three high-ranking officials waiting with Mito and Tsunade.

Jiraiya knelt before Mito and Tsunade, clutching Senju Koma's body, tears streaming down his face. "Mito-sama, Tsunade, I'm so sorry! If it weren't for me, Koma-sama wouldn't have died! Waaah..." Jiraiya clenched his fists tightly as he held Senju Koma's body.

"Get up, child. This isn't your fault. As the head of the Senju clan, Kima did the right thing!" Mito helped Jiraiya up. Tsunade's eyes were red, and there were two tear tracks on her face; she had been crying for a long time.

Mito Mori took Senju Kima's body and approached Mito. "Lord Mito, Kima's body is undamaged."

"Let's seal it away and preserve it for now, and talk about it when Shanks comes back," Mito said, sounding somewhat downcast.

"Tsunade, let's go. This is the mission of our Senju clan!" Mito comforted Tsunade, holding her hand.

"I understand, Grandma!" Tsunade said firmly.

After Mito and Tsunade left, the group arrived at the Hokage Building. "Did you run into Shanks when you came back?" Mito asked the three of them.

All three shook their heads at the same time.

Jiraiya said, "We have no way. Captain Shanks is deliberately avoiding us. We have no way to touch him."

"Oh no! That's terrible! It's one thing if Shanks kills a Jinchuriki or a Tailed Beast, but if he really kills the Mizukage, things will get really bad!" Koharu Utatane was also in a real bind!

"Tell me, what exactly happened? You were infiltrating perfectly fine before, so how did you get discovered? And how did you run into Brother Kima?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a serious expression.

With tears welling in his eyes, Jiraiya began to recount the process: His infiltration of Kirigakure went smoothly at first. For the first two months, he was relatively well-behaved, going out every day to gather intelligence, noting down anything, big or small. However, because things were going too smoothly, he lowered his guard. One day, while passing by a bathhouse, he heard women laughing inside. The demon within Jiraiya began to run rampant. After a fierce internal struggle, the Blue Demon finally won, and he expertly climbed the roof beams and removed the tiles cleanly and efficiently—a feat impossible without at least ten years of experience.

Those in the Hokage's office unconsciously glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi; his movements were so familiar, just like someone from decades ago...

Jiraiya was content with just peeping, but then he saw a busty beauty. It's true, different environments shape different people. The busty beauty from Kirigakure had fair skin, a slim waist, full breasts, and a large bottom. Jiraiya's embarrassing nosebleed dripped onto her large breasts. As a result, he forgot to maintain his transformation jutsu when surrounded by several female ninjas.

With a "bang," two conspicuous red marks appeared on the face of the disheveled white-haired guy. The Anbu members who had been watching the commotion from a distance immediately realized something was wrong. Wasn't this the white-haired lecherous brat, one of the Hokage's three disciples?

The Anbu acted immediately. This was a disciple of the Hokage of Konoha. If they captured him, they could reach the pinnacle of life in the village.

When Jiraiya saw the Anbu appear in front of him, he knew he had been exposed, so without saying a word, he ran for his life, eventually alerting the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. As Jiraiya ran, the Mist Ninja kept chasing after him.

It must be said that as a disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya was quite strong. If the other ninjas had been captured, they would have been caught by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and a group of Kirigakure ninjas long ago.

Just when Jiraiya was about to be captured, Senju Kima, like a god descending to earth, saved him.

"Hahaha, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and a bunch of Kirigakure ninja have gone to such lengths for a mere boy from our Konoha. Kirigakure is truly in decline!" Senju Kima laughed.

"Lord Kima!" Jiraiya exclaimed upon seeing the man standing before him. "Isn't that Tsunade's father?"

"Haha, Tsunade's teammate, huh? You go first, I'll test the strength of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!" Senju Kima laughed.

"What a big fish! The head of the Senju clan of Konoha has come to our Kirigakure village for no reason. I bet it's not for anything good." said an ugly guy who was holding an extra-long machete.

"Stop talking so much nonsense, let's go! Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!" A high wall appeared in front of Senju Koma and Jiraiya.

"Hurry up, go back and tell Tsunade that Dad is gone. Protect Konoha for me!" Senju Koma urged Jiraiya.

"Lord Kima!" Jiraiya shouted to Senju Kima.

"Haha, how could the head of the Senju clan possibly watch the seedlings of Konoha be destroyed by this wind and rain!" Senju Koma laughed.

Jiraiya ran, tears and snot streaming down his face. At that moment, he hated how weak he was! He needed someone to protect him!

With a "bang," the earthen wall shattered, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist moved in, surrounding Senju Kima. After all, he was the son of the God of Shinobi, a man of great reputation. They dared not underestimate him.

“Never mind that boy, the son of the Ninja God is far more important than him!” another person said, holding a weapon that looked like an animal.

"Haha, after today, at least two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen will be gone." Senju Koma tried his best to buy time for Jiraiya.

"Go!" the man with the enhanced machete shouted and charged straight at Senju Kijima.

"Clang clang clang!" The battle between Senju Koma and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen did not last long. After all, they were seven elite Jonin, and with their unique seven swords, Senju Koma slowly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Senju Koma is a ninjutsu-type ninja, but after encountering Samehada, ninjutsu is useless. He is not Samehada's father, and his chakra can feed Samehada until it vomits. Therefore, he can only fight the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist with taijutsu.

Senju Koma's physical skills weren't particularly strong, and he didn't possess superhuman strength. Therefore, the longer the fight went on, the more wounds he sustained.

"I have no choice, Mother, Tsunade, Nawaki, Miho, Shanks! I'll be going now!" Senju Koma looked at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist around him.

"I'll risk it all! Great Tengu Sealing Technique!" Senju Kima used a forbidden technique from the Uzumaki clan's sealing arts, using his own chakra and life force as a sacrifice and medium to summon the demon god Great Tengu.

Senju Kima's body began to change, with four giant claws made of chakra, a giant dog head made of chakra, and a long horn on its forehead.

"What is this?" The Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the Mist Ninja around them were terrified. The ferocity emanating from the Tengu made them tremble with fear.

"boom!"

The giant tengu that Senju Kima transformed into slapped the two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist with its front paws, turning them into mincemeat before they could even react.

"brush"

The tengu's forepaws severed the head of one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Despite its enormous size, the tengu's movements didn't slow down; instead, it accelerated.

"Run!" someone shouted, wielding a long, thin ninja sword, and ran backward as fast as they could.

After killing five members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the dog's chakra and life force could no longer hold up and began to decline rapidly.

When the Three-Tails Jinchuriki arrived, he encountered the Tengu who was about to disappear. He used a Water Release technique to end Senju Koma's life.

While on a mission in Kirigakure, the Konoha Anbu arrived just in time to witness a battle taking place. They saw Senju Koma killed by the Three-Tails Jinchuriki. Beside him lay a headless corpse, a pile of flesh and blood, and two other close-knit bodies. If it weren't for the several ninja swords lying on the ground, they wouldn't have recognized them as members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. The other two escaped quickly and weren't killed on the spot, but they were also hit by the Tengu's tail and were seriously injured.

Taking advantage of the ninja's momentary lapse in attention, two ANBU swiftly stole Senju Kima's body. They soon encountered Jiraiya, and the three fled back to the Land of Fire, constantly on the run.
