Konoha Drunkard

"Haha, you're not bad either. That little brat from back then has become more and more domineering." Mutual flattery exists in every world; otherwise, no one would know how awesome your defeated opponent was.

"Enough with the nonsense. You and I are both top-tier figures in the ninja world. The number of heads behind us doesn't represent quality, and fighting in a group is just a waste of resources. How about this, let's repeat the romance between men from a few years ago. If I lose, I'll give way, and if you lose, you go back. How about that?" Shanks looked at the more than 10,000 burly men opposite him, and then at his own thin arms and legs.

Shanks was a little panicked, given the size difference between the two sides, even though he didn't know how strong they were. If ten thousand LeBron Jameses charged at him, he didn't know if his Curry could dominate, but he would definitely be knocked to the point of vomiting milk.

"Haha! So many years have passed, and that kid hasn't changed at all. You can talk a dead person back to life with your mouth, but I like to hear it. Alright! Both of us will retreat three kilometers, and we'll continue our one-on-one duel. The loser makes way!" This was exactly what Shanks wanted to hear. The two of them could be considered to have a mutual respect.

Shanks tossed the withered tree to Yamanaka Inoichi, saying, "Hold this for me, it's my signature sword."

"Master, don't you use a sword?" Yamanaka Inoichi asked with some concern, holding the withered tree. After all, everyone knew that Shanks' swordsmanship was his signature move. Although he was also very strong in unarmed combat, Yamanaka Inoichi was still a little worried about facing the Raikage's strongest spear.

"Haha! The teacher never takes advantage of others in a one-on-one fight, don't worry!" Shanks laughed loudly. If he were to take up a sword and cut down the Raikage, wouldn't his reputation drop a level compared to the Raikage?

After both sides retreated three kilometers, the two men stopped talking. One was covered in lightning, flashing brightly. The other was completely black and shiny, looking like Iron Man.

"Is this the teacher's special physical technique? It looks so powerful," Yamanaka Inoichi exclaimed.

The three thousand henchmen behind him were also stunned. They had never seen such martial arts before, and had only heard about it in legends.

"Well, this is called Armament Haki. It's a special kind of aura that my teacher senses in space. It attaches to the body. The stronger the body, the stronger the aura on the surface of the body, and the darker the color becomes. It has the ability to enhance attack power and strengthen the body's defense. My teacher relied on this ability to withstand the Tailed Beast Ball." Nara Shikaku finally stopped slacking off and stood firmly on the battlefield. He had only heard his father describe these things, but he had never seen them with his own eyes.

"Go! Super Strength Armor - Randomly Hitting Love Fist!" Shanks roared, his dark fist emitting bursts of white light.

"..." Both sides nearly tripped and fell.

"..." Nara Shikaku looked up at the sky. "It's powerful, but why does it have such a chuunibyou name?"

"Haha, well done! Two-handed piercing hand!" Raikage Ai's fingers flashed with lightning as he charged toward Shanks. The two were incredibly fast, and their fingers and fists collided instantly. The powerful airflow generated by the collision sent the people on both sides, three kilometers away, flying upside down. The ground around them couldn't withstand the pressure of their impact and collapsed.

"Wow...that's amazing!" the two groups exclaimed after regaining their footing.

"No, we're still too close. This is just a test; if we continue, we'll be affected. Retreat another kilometer," Nara Shikaku ordered. Now he realized just how powerful the top ninjas in the world truly were. This was a pure taijutsu duel, and it was even more destructive than ninjutsu.

On the Cloud Ninja side, Mabu Kotori also ordered a retreat of one kilometer. Mabu Kotori had seen many one-on-one fights with them and was used to it, but this was the first time that the two sides had seen such a powerful destructive force, and they were stunned by the two's powerful taijutsu.

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

From then on, both sides could only hear the loud crashing sounds and feel the gusts of air generated by the collisions, but could not see the two figures.

The battlefield is the same as it was a few years ago, but the surrounding environment is even more devastated. The ground has completely sunk by about ten meters, and the three-meter-high mountain bases that were originally there are no longer visible.

Time passed slowly as the duel between the two began. After the first day, both sides returned to their respective camps to do their own things. Some newly recruited genin did not leave, but stayed in place to feel the shock of the battle between the two. Like the smaller Ino-Shika-Cho trio, they had heard their fathers say how powerful Shanks of Konoha was since they were young, such as splitting Kirigakure in two and making the Seven-Tails cry, etc. But they had never seen it, so they could never understand how powerful he was.

Some newly recruited genin went to the camp after watching for three days. However, because the camp was too close to the battlefield, the sound of the two colliding could be heard constantly in the days that followed, and the camp also shook slightly.

111, let's get the team together and get to work! "Seeking first subscriptions and more subscriptions!"

Four kilometers away from the arena where Shanks and Raikage challenged each other, both sides returned to their camps and were kept awake by the aftershocks and noise. For more than a month, everyone had dark circles under their eyes.

"Crack...crack, Shikaku, you said the teacher and the Raikage have been fighting for over a month, aren't they hungry? Crack...crack!" The Ino-Shika-Cho trio sat at the four-kilometer mark watching the two fight, but as before, they couldn't see any figures, only hear the sounds of collisions. They felt the air currents generated by the collisions blowing by like a gentle breeze. Akimichi Choza asked Nara Shikaku while stuffing something into his mouth.

"Well! I don't know either. Neither of them are human! They've been fighting for over a month without sleep or food, and they're still so powerful." Nara Shikaku shrugged. This month has changed his perception of Shanks. Usually so unreliable and fond of bragging, but this time he actually fought Raikage A so seriously in a one-on-one duel.

Just then, the sounds of collision in the distance gradually subsided.

"Shikaku, it seems the fight is over, let's go check it out!" Yamanaka Inoichi, hearing no sound, quickly gathered his men and went over.

On the Cloud Ninja's side,

"Brother, let's go over after they've finished fighting!" Mabu Jiushi said to the chief steward.

"Well, no rush. As usual, the two of them will stay here and drink all day. We'll go again tomorrow morning," said the experienced burlap sack.

"Won't the Raikage be in trouble? After all, this isn't a normal time," Azabu asked.

"Nothing will happen. Konoha's Red Hair is an upright person, just like the Raikage. He wouldn't do anything underhanded. We can guarantee Konoha's character," the burlap sack said calmly.

Just as the burlap sack said, when Nara Shikaku and his men arrived, they heard Shanks' loud laughter.

"Hahaha! Old man Raikage, did you put all your energy into women? You're already exhausted after only a little over a month of fighting."

"Haha, brat, you're not much better than him. You haven't improved much after all these years." Lei Ying Ai wasn't going to lose a verbal battle with him.

"I'm letting you off easy. You know, Konoha has always had a tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. Come on! Let's fight! You're not good at fighting, but your alcohol tolerance has also declined, hasn't it?" Shanks pouted and said, clearly holding back. Shanks is currently at his peak, and after using the Body Revitalization Sealing Technique, he'll be 20 years old every year. How could he possibly lose to Raikage A? He just didn't want to hurt him too much because of the friendship they've built up over the years.

"Haha! Come on, whoever drinks themselves out first loses!" Lei Yingai said, defiantly refusing to admit he was getting old.

Nara Shikaku and the others watched as the two of them exchanged barbs, mocking each other, yet they managed to keep drinking.

"As expected, ordinary people and monsters think on completely different wavelengths," Nara Shikaku and the others muttered to themselves.

"Huh? What are you doing here? Want to drink too? Come on, Inoichi, go to the camp and bring out all the alcohol. Shikaku, go and tell the Cloud Ninja brothers to come and drink!" Shanks, seeing Nara Shikaku arrive with his men, suddenly thought, "Isn't this something new from the battlefields of World War II? While others are fighting to the death in the Land of Rain, he's leading three thousand Kukai and ten thousand Cloud Ninja in a drinking contest in the Land of Lightning. This will be a legendary tale in the ninja academy textbooks." "The great Red-Haired Shanks of Konoha, leading three thousand elementary school students, calmly drinking with ten thousand Cloud Ninja!"

"Yes, teacher!" Nara Shikaku said silently as he hurried toward the Cloud Ninja camp.

"Nara brat, remember to have your burlap sack bring our Land of Lightning sake too! Your Konoha sake is too weak!" A roar came from behind Nara Shikaku! He nearly slipped. Dude, this is Konoha's strongest sake, and it's still weak...

He felt he was really going to be completely drunk tonight.

"Haha, old Raikage is still so polite. I had our Konoha Flower, Koharu Utatane, prepare a lot of good wine," Shanks laughed.

Nara Shikaku arrived at the Cloud Ninja's camp, but I didn't know how to start the conversation. He wasn't the future Konoha's Grand Strategist yet; he was just a kid new to the battlefield. If he dared to calmly spread rumors in the enemy camp of ten thousand burly men, Shanks would suspect that he was a time traveler.

After hesitating for a moment, he said to the guard at the gate, "Um... hello, I'm here to deliver a message for Raikage. May I see your chief steward?"

The Cloud Ninja on guard duty looked at Nara Shikaku's small arms and legs and laughed, "Haha! This kid from Konoha has quite the guts! Daring to come to our camp on his own. You wait here, I'll go report!"

"..." Nara Shikaku looked up at the sky. He really wanted to grow up quickly so he wouldn't have nothing to tease all day long.

Not long after, the burly guard came out and said, "You can go in now, kid. I admire you!"

"...Thank you." Nara Shikaku was unusually polite; his clever mind wouldn't allow him to stand there like a deadpan character in front of ten thousand Cloud Ninja... Sometimes, it's best to be timid...

As soon as Nara Shikaku entered the command camp, he saw two middle-aged men with darker skin. One of the men said, "Nara brat, who is Nara Shikaku to you? What message did the Raikage send you to deliver?"

"Uh... Nara Shikaku is my father. The Raikage said you should take all the Cloud Ninja and the camp's sake with you..." Nara Shikaku organized his thoughts. The captain asked about his father right off the bat, so I was really afraid that his father had some kind of enemy.

"..." The burlap sack and the burlap sack exchanged a glance, speechless. Their Raikage didn't have the leisure to drink while drying their horses. It was definitely that Konoha Red Hair's idea.

"Was it suggested by the Red-Haired One from Konoha?" Azabu asked.

"Uh... Hahaha! I'm sorry you had to see this!" Nara Shikaku was speechless; his teacher's antics were already infamous throughout the ninja world.

.......

On the battlefield between Shanks and the Raikage, the two sides sat down in two groups, with a dozen or twenty bottles of different brands of strong liquor in front of each person.

The ninjas on both sides were speechless. Weren't they supposed to be fighting? They were actually drinking on the battlefield.

"Haha! Come on! Finish this bottle, there are still three left. Raikage, old man, we Konoha are giving you a few thousand men. Whoever has more people down first loses!" Shanks, reeking of alcohol, stood up unsteadily and laughed at Raikage A.

"Kid, what do you mean by 'let us have several thousand people'! Everyone from Amuzhe's row onwards should go over to Konoha's side. We Cloud Ninja don't need to give way, and neither do we!" Raikage A, his face flushed and reeking of alcohol, said to the Cloud Ninja behind him.

The burlap sack and the burlap cloth cost over ninety yuan. He had a headache; how could things have turned out this way?

After regrouping, Shanks and Raikage A led their men and got to work! The Cloud Ninja were burly and muscular, not given to much scheming; they loosened up as they drank. The Konoha elementary school students were initially a bit reserved, after all, drinking with opposing ninjas on the battlefield. But after a few drinks, they lost their inhibitions and started shouting and drinking with gusto, their necks red. They could brag about it later back in Konoha: "I once had a drinking contest with Cloud Ninjas on the battlefield!"

112. Onoki's nose turned black with anger. "Please subscribe! Please make a first-time purchase!"

The Land of Lightning is having a drinking contest, while the Land of Rain is engaged in a four-nation war. If you don't pay attention to your disguise, you might end up killing your own people.

.......

Since Sakumo led more than 20,000 Konoha elites to the border of the Land of Rain, they first fought with the Sand Ninja, and then split off to fight the Iwa Ninja. The Iwa Ninja were already struggling to fight Konoha, and then Hanzo, the leader of the Land of Rain, led his men to launch a surprise attack from behind.

Then, when Aunt Chiyo's son was confused about the situation, he defeated one of Hanzo's top lieutenants. Afterwards, another group of Amegakure members attacked Chiyo's son. Of course, Aunt Chiyo wouldn't let her son get killed, so she led her daughter-in-law to rescue him. In short, the Land of Rain is now in complete chaos, with all sorts of ninjutsu that are rarely seen in normal times appearing as if they were worthless, dazzling everyone.

"Pfft!"

After Jiraiya finished off a Sand Ninja with a kunai, an Iwa Ninja suddenly appeared behind him, wielding a kunai and lunging at him from behind. Jiraiya sensed a killing intent coming from behind and turned to look, but it was too late.

"boom!"

Just as Jiraiya was about to be stabbed, Tsunade punched the Iwa ninja away.

"Idiot, still standing there in a daze!" Tsunade scolded coldly.

Orochimaru summoned a bunch of snakes and killed all the Rain Ninja in the vicinity before leaping over. The three of them stood back to back, on guard.

"Well, my hands are getting a little sore. I've never killed so many people in my life," Jiraiya said, shaking his aching hands.

Orochimaru stared at his surroundings and said hoarsely, "If you don't want to die here, hurry up and kill everyone. It's a complete mess right now."

"Stop talking nonsense, Shinku is in danger, go!" Tsunade said domineeringly.

"Pfft!"

Yuhi Shinku's left arm was stabbed, and she slid her right hand, gripping a kunai, towards the attacker's chest. She then quickly jumped back, landing in front of another Sand Ninja before he could react, and delivered a kunai to him.

"Bang!" A loud explosion rang out behind him, and an Iwa ninja was blasted away!

Tsunade arrived to save the day.

"Are you okay?"

"Huff, huff, I'm fine, just a little out of stamina!" Kurenai Yuhi said, panting heavily without hiding it. He was a technical ninja who used genjutsu in battle, but on this kind of battlefield, he would be killed after only a few uses, so he didn't dare to use it and could only resort to taijutsu.

"Huff, huff, what did the Iwa ninja do to these Amegakure ninja? They're acting like they don't care about their lives!" The Hyuga clan leader said, panting heavily after swatting an Amegakure ninja away. The Hyuga clan, who had always been renowned for their taijutsu, now looked like they were on the verge of collapse.

"Stop talking nonsense and keep going. We'll be done by the time we finish fighting Sakumo." Tsunade said, blasting another ninja away. It was only because of her Senju genes that she, a woman, couldn't hold on. The Senju clan's physique is really strong.

The battlefield on Sakumo's side was not so complicated. There were few people, but every second was extremely dangerous. Hanzo was constantly attacking the Iwa ninja giant Tokusatsu and the guard captain, Genryu. Because he was covered in poison, he used poison and water jutsu without restraint to attack the two of them, and the two of them were suppressed and in a sorry state.

The fight between Sakumo and Chiyo was more technically sophisticated. Chiyo had developed her puppetry to its peak, and her White Secret Technique: The Ten Puppet Masters of Chikamatsu was perfectly controlled. Sakumo Hatake was in just as much pain as he had when he encountered Shamon. Moreover, Chiyo didn't give Sakumo a chance to get close at all. The ten puppets were covered in poison and had him completely under her control. Did he have a body like Shanks's that wasn't human?

"Konoha's White Fang, I never imagined he'd grown to this level. No wonder he's on par with Konoha's Shanks!" Aunt Chiyo exclaimed as she controlled the Ten.

"Well, Aunt Chiyo is still as vigorous as ever, her skills haven't changed at all." Hatake Sakumo has been hanging out with Shanks for so many years, his words are quite something.

"Hehe, the Konoha ninjas always have such sharp tongues." Aunt Chiyo laughed when she heard Sakumo Hatake's Shanks-like tone.

"Konoha ninjas aren't just good with words!" Sakumo Hatake said, and a flash of white light appeared on his hand.

"White Thunder Lion"

A lion's head made of lightning charged toward the three puppets of the Ten, and Aunt Chiyo was too slow to react, and the three puppets were blasted to pieces.

Just as Aunt Chiyo and Hatake Sakumo were locked in a fierce battle, the outcome on Hanzo's side was decided. Iwa ninja leader Tokusatsu was pierced through the chest by Hanzo's scythe, but he also managed to seriously injure Hanzo with his death. Hanzo abandoned Tokusatsu's body and fled using a water substitute. At the same time, Amegakure also received Hanzo's order to retreat. The guard captain, Genjiro, carrying Tokusatsu's body, ordered the Iwa ninja to retreat. Seeing that both the Iwa and Amegakure ninja had retreated, Aunt Chiyo realized there was no need for them to continue fighting Konoha. They had also suffered considerable losses in this battle, so she ordered a retreat.

The four-nation war ended rather abruptly, but all four nations suffered significant losses, especially the Iwa ninja, who lost a high-ranking leader.

.......

"Bang! That idiot Tokusō!" After hearing about the death of Tokusō, the Tsuchikage Onoki, he was furious and wanted nothing more than to drag Tokusō out and whip his corpse!
