Konoha Drunkard

"There were some, but they were very blurry," Minato said after a moment's thought. After all, it was only for a split second; being able to sense it at all was already quite impressive.

"It's not time for you to learn this ninjutsu yet. I'll say it again: once you become a Jonin and get engaged to Kushina, this ninjutsu will be yours. Your spatial awareness is much better than mine, so you can use it for combat. I can't; I can only use it for traveling." Shanks raised an eyebrow.

"Uh (⊙o⊙)... Haha!" Minato didn't know how to answer the question either, so he could only laugh awkwardly.

"Don't waste your time. I promised Kushina I'd teach you, so come to Training Ground 3 whenever you have free time after school. I'll come every day if I'm free. But everyone in the ninja world knows my skills. You can't learn the Uzumaki clan's special talents—the three types of Haki and swordsmanship—because you can't sense that special aura. You still can't learn my movement speed and the short-term flight techniques like Shave and Moonwalk, unless you have my physical strength. Otherwise, your legs will be useless. I don't even need to teach you Water Release; when you become a Jonin, Kushina will definitely get you the Sealing Scroll. But I suggest you don't waste your talents on those miscellaneous ninjutsu. Super Strength Fist is because it's the First Hokage's..." "It was developed by humans, and it's not recorded in the Sealing Scroll, so I can't teach you. You can only learn the Flying Thunder God Technique when you reach Jonin level, otherwise you might get torn apart by the chaotic space. So for now, I can only help you refine the Finger Pistol technique you saw before. When I use the Finger Pistol, it's purely my body's power concentrated at my fingertips, while you need chakra power concentrated at your fingertips. This requires you to practice chakra control. The better your control, the greater the power, similar to the First Hokage's Super Strength Fist. I'll demonstrate it for you." After Shanks finished speaking, he raised his right index finger, and a point of blue-white chakra continuously gathered at the tip of his index finger. Then, Shanks lightly tapped a tree about 5 meters thick next to him with his index finger.

"boom!"

The tree cracked layer by layer, and finally burst open, leaving only a pile of wood chips.

"This!" Minato Namikaze gasped, the power was too strong.

Shanks explained to him, “Although I developed it, the principle is actually similar to Super Strength Fist, but it’s not as instantaneous as Super Strength Fist. Instead, it requires a certain amount of time to gather chakra. The more chakra gathered, the longer the time, and of course, the greater the power. So, theoretically speaking, this Chakra Finger Pistol is not yet perfect. I don’t have the talent to perfect this taijutsu. So, you can try it if you’re interested in the future. As for paper drawing… learn Finger Pistol first. I think you’ll have a hard time understanding paper drawing.”

Minato nodded. He had read the introduction and principles of paper drawing and thought it was amazing, but he didn't understand what the airflow generated by the movement was, or how to sense it.

98. Minato really hurts! "Please subscribe and make your first purchase!"

"Alright, starting today, you only have three training tasks: walking on water, climbing trees, and gathering chakra in your index finger while trying not to let it explode and absorb leaves. When you can walk on water as if it were flat ground, easily walk to the top of a tree, and freely absorb 100 leaves, your chakra control will meet the requirements of Finger Pistol." After Shanks finished speaking, he demonstrated walking on water, climbing trees, and absorbing leaves, and then let him practice on his own.

Even if he's the protagonist of the next era, he's still the protagonist. Kishimoto's portrayal of the most perfect ninja is no exaggeration. He was able to walk on water and climb trees in a whole morning, but the finger's ability to stick to leaves stumped him. He could only stick to about 10 leaves at most before the stickiness wore off. If he increased the amount of chakra a little more, the leaves would explode, and his index finger would feel a sharp pain.

"Well, chakra control can't be rushed. Walking on water and climbing trees are just the basics. As long as you keep at it every day, your chakra control will get better and better, and you'll be able to absorb more and more leaves. Once you have 100 leaves, you can learn finger guns, but that's just the basics. Take it slow, kid!" Shanks said slowly, taking a sip of his drink.

"I understand, teacher," the kind-hearted Minato said earnestly, feeling the pain in his finger.

"Then you can practice here with Kushina at your leisure, just remember not to cause any deaths! Haha!" Shanks joked as he noticed Kushina was on her way, and then disappeared.

“(⊙o⊙)…..He really is so unserious.” Minato looked up at the sky. He had been so serious when he was teaching him, but he had soon reverted to his true nature.

For the next two months, Minato and Kushina went about their daily routine: going to school, coming to the practice field after school, and going home.

Shanks can also take a rare break, chatting with his students every day and then coming back to tease Big Mom.

On this day, Big Mom was fiddling with the wooden sculptures of dead people that Shanks had carved, while Shanks was leisurely drinking opposite her.

"Teacher, I did it! One hundred and fifty leaves!" The warm-hearted Minato burst in.

"Wow, not bad. To reach this level in just two months, Kushina has struck gold!" Shanks teased, raising an eyebrow.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Minato was used to being teased.

"I don't have time for paper drawing right now. Can't you see I'm with my daughter? You have no sense of propriety at all. How are you going to survive in the ninja world? Go to class now, we'll talk about it tonight," Shanks said arrogantly.

"Ah! Yes, sorry to bother you!" Minato quickly made his escape.

"Linlin, it would be so nice if you could stay out for a few years. Look how handsome this warm guy is, but now Kushina has snatched him away." Shanks pinched Big Mom's cheeks frantically.

"Daddy. It's so cold!" Big Mom looked at Shanks with a confused expression, not understanding what he was saying.

.......

After school, Shanks had dinner and went to Practice Range 3.

The warm-hearted Minato and his lover Kushina were already waiting. Kushina sat to the side, propping her chin up with one hand and gazing adoringly at Minato practicing.

"I can't stand it," Shanks muttered.

"Ahem, Minato, come here. You can't train too much at your age. You know, many geniuses die before they turn 25 because they overexerted themselves when they were young. For example... so-and-so from the Uchiha clan..." Shanks originally wanted to say Itachi Uchiha, who was suspected to be Kagami's grandson, but that guy wasn't even a sperm anymore.

"Yes, teacher, I'll pay attention," the obedient boy said.

"Now, let me tell you about paper drawing. You've already read my manual, so the first thing you need to understand is airflow. Simply put, airflow is a direction of flow. Any object or person that moves will generate airflow, only the magnitude of the airflow varies. For example, when I'm fighting the Raikage or a Tailed Beast, it's not just the collision that generates a huge airflow, but our taijutsu also generates a huge airflow. Paper drawing is about sensing the direction of this airflow and then using all your strength to conform to the changes in airflow caused by the opponent's movements, like a sheet of paper, to dodge the opponent's attack at the last second." Shanks finished speaking and glanced at Kushina.

"Kushina, I suggest you go back, because what happens next is not something you want to see!" Shanks said with a sinister smile.

"I don't want to. What are you going to do behind my back?" Kushina looked at Shanks with a suspicious look in her eyes.

"Are you sure you don't want to go back? Then you can't stop me later," Shanks said with a sinister smile.

"I'll stay here and not shout."

"Okay, Minato, we have a saying in Konoha, if you want to learn to hit people, you must first learn to be beaten! You must know that I was also beaten by the first generation master for more than a year before I awakened my special talent. The "Pornographic Gambling and Poison Heavenly Group" was also beaten by me for more than a year back then. If you want to experience the air flow You have to feel the obvious air flow, and I am the only one in Konoha who can use Taijutsu to send out obvious air flow, so... Hahaha! Damn it! Boy!" After Shanks said this, he didn't give Minato a chance to react.

"Wave!"

Minato was flicked on the forehead by Shanks's Armored Black Finger, sending him flying and crashing into a tree trunk. A small bump appeared on his forehead.

"Oh dear, young man, carefully sense the airflow." Shanks finished speaking and appeared directly in front of Minato with a shave, followed by another loving bounce that brushed away the wrinkles around his eyes.

A small gourd appeared on Shuimen's forehead.

"Hey! Uncle, can't you be a little gentler? What if you hurt him?" Kushina couldn't stand it anymore.

"Young lady, that's already very light. Any lighter and he won't be able to feel the airflow!" Shanks looked up at the sky! Damn it! My savior dad! Even Kishimoto wouldn't draw him as stupid; he could just beat him up however he wanted.

"Please continue, teacher, I think I'm starting to feel it!!" The warm-hearted Minato said earnestly. But Shanks heard something strange...

"Boy! I love your personality, you have to keep it up! I'm coming!" Shanks shouted, then rushed up to satisfy Minato's quirky desire for warmth!

"Bang! Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

Shanks had been playing since afternoon until night, and his index finger was almost cramping. He wondered if Minato would ever learn paper drawing if things continued like this, but he was certain he would master the "Right Hand of God."

"Huff, huff, huff!" The warm-hearted Minato lay sprawled on the ground, covered in bumps and bruises, unable to get up. It turned out that Gou's stamina while being beaten was more than when he trained with Kushina.

"It's getting late, let's continue tomorrow afternoon. Go back and carefully recall the direction of those air currents. Kushina, take your boyfriend home, but don't let anything get fatal!" Shanks laughed.

"Hmph! You jerk!" Kushina blushed and huffed as she ran over to help Minato up, asking worriedly, "Are you alright, Minato?"

"I'm fine, just a little tired. And... it really hurt when Shanks hit me." Minato was in tears, never having imagined that being hit by Shanks's bullet would hurt so much, the kind that goes deep into your bones.

"Nonsense, I even made the Seven-Tails cry, of course it hurts..." Shanks pouted after hearing Minato's words.

99. Green-skinned Dai must be pretty powerful now. "Please subscribe and make your first purchase!"

After Kushina helped Minato back, Shanks also returned to the house. Unsurprisingly, he didn't see his Yonko's daughter. Even Haruko, except when breastfeeding, could only see her daughter by going to Mito's place.

The six-month-old Big Mom is becoming more and more like her mother, even her personality is exactly the same. If Shanks hadn't sensed the Uzumaki clan's chakra and life force within Big Mom, he would have suspected that Hiruzen Sarutobi was right... Just like his son, Shinnosuke Sarutobi, he doesn't resemble Hiruzen at all. His facial features are exactly the same as Biwako's, and he hasn't inherited Hiruzen's lecherous genes. Jiraiya, on the other hand, seems more like Hiruzen's illegitimate son...

Suddenly! Shanks realized he might be able to unravel the mystery of Jiraiya's origins! Jiraiya's body hair might be inherited from his mother, but his lecherous nature wouldn't change! Just like Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Haru, they seem to have a good relationship... Anyway, the more Shanks looked at Fugaku, the less he resembled his nominal father, Uchiha Yuta, and the more he looked like his mother. Moreover, neither Uchiha Yuta nor his father were cut out for the Mangekyou Sharingan. Instead, Uchiha Fugaku would awaken it later. Don't spout that nonsense about the Uchiha clan being able to awaken it simply through mental stimulation; they've endured countless mental shocks over the years, yet only a handful have awakened it. Therefore, Shanks speculated that Jiraiya's father might have inherited Kagami's talent, while Shisui's father only inherited his appearance, with the talent filtered out and passed to Shisui... Having reached these conclusions, Shanks decided to give Jiraiya and Hiruzen a chance to recognize a traitor as their father... Pshaw! The father and son reunite... then Jiraiya, vying for the Sarutobi clan's wealth, engages in a bitter power struggle with Shinnosuke...

"Bang! Bang bang bang! Bang! Bang!"

Just as Shanks was still imagining the grand drama of the Sarutobi clan, a symphony of music started playing from the house next door, Nawaki's. Without even using his Observation Haki, Shanks knew it was Tsunade beating up her little brother again.

According to Shanks' limited memories, Nawaki was beaten up an average of three or four times a week starting at age three. He was beaten up either for joining Jiraiya's research institute on human anatomy or for reviewing Jiraiya's research reports.

Ever since Shanks discovered that he was flirting with the second male lead's mother, Shanks has stopped caring about him. He's asking for trouble! Daring to flirt with the second male lead's mother—how is that any different from an emperor trying to steal Kaguya Otsutsuki? Did he think that just because he gave birth to both Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki, everything would be fine? Kishimoto, the Great Emperor, will still kill him off; he's not following the script... Besides, it's a union of the Senju and Uchiha clans. Kishimoto letting him live to 12 is already a favor someone's doing for him...

"You bastard, if you dare to go find that lecherous Jiraiya again, I'll beat you half to death and make you spend the rest of your life in the hospital!" Tsunade's roar shook the entire Senju clan!

"Sigh!... He brought this on himself!" Shanks looked up at the sky. It seems no one in the Senju clan is a lecher; could it be a genetic mutation?

"Tsunade, give me some face, just break his third leg. If he's paralyzed, your grandpa will jump out of his coffin!" Shanks shouted to the next room.

"............" Tsunade next door.

"Only if you break that leg will the First Hokage jump out..." said a member of the Uzumaki clan within the Senju clan.

"What nonsense are you talking about, really!" Haruko spun him around 180 degrees on his waist.

.........

Same time, same place, same people, same event!

Shanks has lost count of how many times he's flicked Minato's finger; he's almost activated the "Right Hand of God."

Minato still hadn't succeeded. No, he sensed the airflow and couldn't release the force of his entire body. Sometimes it's like that—easier said than done. Even Kushina could feel the airflow from Shanks' attack from afar...

His inability to fully control his physical strength was also a factor; Shanks thought for a long time before finally coming up with an idea: a green light.

So many years have passed, and that green light is still a genin. However, thanks to Haruko's help, his life is much better now. His team leader from back then died, and two of his teammates also died, but he is still alive.

"Your problem is that you can't control your body's strength. I do have someone I can recommend to you. It's almost vacation time, so you can go find him and train with him. He's the only other taijutsu master in Konoha besides me." Shanks imagined Minato in a tight green suit and said to him, suppressing a laugh.

"Is there such a person in Konoha? I've never heard of him before," Kushina asked curiously.

"Well, because he can't gather chakra, he's always been a genin. But his taijutsu is very strong. If I'm not mistaken, he's probably developing a forbidden taijutsu technique, a really powerful one." Shanks admired Green Skin Dai from the bottom of his heart.

"A forbidden technique in physical combat?" Minato was full of questions.

"Hmm! A forbidden taijutsu technique that only geniuses who specialize in taijutsu can learn. It's very powerful. But he hasn't fully developed it yet, has he? He said that once all eight gates are opened, his chakra will be dozens of times greater than that of a Kage! But in the end, the person who uses the forbidden technique will also die. Isn't that powerful?" Shanks laughed.

"Konoha actually has such powerful ninjas! I never expected that." Minato exclaimed in shock.

"I'll take you to see him when you're on vacation. In the meantime, continue practicing your chakra control." Shanks said, then disappeared. He didn't really know if having Minato and Green Skin Dai do it would be useful, but he figured he'd give it a try. At least he could learn some taijutsu from Green Skin Dai, and Minato wouldn't need paper drawings anymore with his Flying Thunder God Technique; they couldn't hit him anyway, so what was the point of paper drawings...?

When Shanks returned to the house, Big Mom had already been brought back. She was lying quietly on the bed, clutching a wooden carving Shanks had made of her likeness, just staring at it blankly. She wasn't nearly as lively as other children. Shanks was so annoyed...

"Why doesn't Lingling look like me at all?" Shanks asked Haruko, pinching her cheek.

"It's not good for a girl to be like you. How will she ever get married? It's better to be gentler," Haruko said with a smile.

"So what if she can't get married? I can afford to support her anyway. Look at all the dowries I've received, I could support ten of her." Shanks grinned from ear to ear as he thought of all those dowries.

"Money-grubber..." Haruko rolled her eyes at him.

"This isn't about being greedy. As a great man once said, money isn't everything, but you can't do anything without it! By the way, is Might Day still taking on hospital assignments?" Shanks finally remembered Greenskin Day.

"Yes, I told Kawada to issue missions every day. How did you come up with this idea?"

"It's nothing. Kushina's boyfriend is having some trouble with his training. I had him go see Might Guy." Shanks shrugged.

"If you can't solve it, what's the point of asking him? He's just a low-level ninja!"

Shanks chuckled, "Don't underestimate him. He should be pretty strong by now. But his lack of chakra is a major weakness. I'll talk to Hiruzen Sarutobi about it sometime."

100. A family history of illness, impossible to change. (Seeking first subscription, seeking further subscriptions)

A month later, the Ninja Academy was on holiday, and Shanks took Minato to the Green Skin Dai's house.

"Hey! Shanks, what brings you here? Come in and have a seat." Green-skinned Dai was about to go out when he saw Shanks with a blond little boy standing at his door.

"Excuse me... I'm here today because my student wants to practice taijutsu during the holidays, and you're the only one in Konoha who's good at taijutsu, so I'd like to ask you to train him together." Shanks explained his purpose after entering the house.

"Is that so? But can I? I'm just a genin!" Green-skinned Dai said.

"It's alright. Your strength isn't that of a genin. It's just that my taijutsu isn't suitable for him, so please help me out," Shanks said with a smile.

"Since you put it that way, then I'll take him with me. Young man, let's burn with youth together!" Green-skinned Dai struck a Green-skinned Dai pose at Minato!
