Konoha Drunkard

Damn it, I could have just asked to use their road, but they practically begged to see me, and I looked down on them! Even if I looked down on them, I should have just kept it to myself, but I had to say it out loud. And that idiot guard who relayed the message is dead too, otherwise Onoki would have taught him that Red Nose can turn color when he's angry! ╰_╯

In the command post of the Leaf Village camp in the Land of Rain.

"What! We're fighting to the death here, and that bastard is actually drinking with a Cloud Ninja?" Jiraiya was furious, as if he suspected his biological father, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was about to die.

Since the great battle a few days ago, all the villages have been recuperating and preparing for the next great battle. Hanzo, the leader of the Land of Rain, has been staying at home to recover from his injuries. He was almost killed by Tokusou, the giant of Iwagakure, in his final desperate attack. Meanwhile, Onoki is also on his way here.

This morning, Hatake Sakumo received intelligence from the Anbu regarding the Land of Lightning. After reading it, he looked up at the sky, always feeling a deep sense of malice from the heavens. He hadn't intended to show this Konoha Double Flower Red Stick and the clan leader, but Jiraiya, quick-witted and observant, noticed his facial expression and, mistaking it for a love letter, immediately snatched it away.

"..." A hush fell over the crowd in the camp. They couldn't say anything since the other side was willing to drink with the Cloud Ninja based on their own abilities. Moreover, the situation in the Land of Rain was more complicated than they had imagined. They didn't want the Land of Lightning to have dealt with the Raikage, but to deal with the Raikage... it seemed only Shanks in the ninja world could go toe-to-toe with him. Both were incredibly tough, impenetrable to ninjutsu, unless they risked their lives to wear him down...

"boom!"

"Alright, stop talking such discouraging things. If you're so tough, go and fight the Raikage one-on-one." Tsunade punched Jiraiya on the head. However, Tsunade's eyes were also flickering, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

The war continued, but it didn't affect Konoha. The villagers went about their lives as usual, except that before going to bed at night they would pray to the wooden carvings of the First and Second Hokage, asking the two former Hokage to bless their children to return safely, or at the very least, to keep their bodies intact.

In the Hokage's office.

"Old Hokage, didn't you hear me? I'm going to the battlefield!" Kushina showed no respect whatsoever to Hiruzen Sarutobi, the CEO.

"No way! The battlefield is chaotic right now. What would you genin do there? Konoha doesn't need you kids to protect it." Hiruzen Sarutobi was stubborn this time and refused to agree no matter what.

"Didn't Shikaku and the others go too? I'm much better than Shikaku!" Kushina refused to give up.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at her with a headache, "The situation is different. Shikaku is smart, he can help Shanks if he goes to the battlefield. What are you going there for? Especially since it's the Land of Rain."

That's right. This morning, Jiraiya's team, along with Hiruzen Sarutobi's son Shinnosuke who hasn't graduated yet, went to his office early this morning to find Kushina and the others, insisting on going to the Land of Rain. Shinnosuke had secretly seen the intelligence in his study last night that the Land of Rain had suffered some heavy losses, so he had secretly gone to his office to find Kushina and the others, insisting on going to the Land of Rain.

"I don't care, so many people have died, I'm going to help!" Kushina sat on Hiruzen Sarutobi's table, looking like she was determined to stay there if he wouldn't let her go.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked pleadingly at his grand-disciple, Minato. "It's your time to shine. Go!"

The warm-hearted man glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Roger that!"

"Kusina, we're not strong enough right now. Going there would only cause trouble for Jiraiya-sensei. Let's wait until we're stronger before we go. We don't need Jiraiya to take care of us until then." The kind-hearted Minato patted Kushina's shiny red hair.

"But how long will that take?" Kushina wouldn't give face to anyone but her boyfriend.

"It won't be long. As long as we keep working hard, we'll definitely catch up," Minato said earnestly. So, a serious man is the most handsome. Kushina was completely captivated by Minato's handsomeness and quietly followed him away, leaving the Sarutobi father and son duo in the office to witness their public display of affection.

......

The next day, before Kushina woke up, Hiruzen Sarutobi had the Anbu bring Minato and Hiashi, the "national father-in-law," to the Hokage's office. There was also another person in the office, Nawaki, who was carrying the Seven Star Sword.

"I have a mission for you. Here is some intelligence that you need to deliver to Sakumo on the battlefield in the Land of Rain. Kushina cannot go with you because of her special status, so Nawaki will be with you for the time being." After saying this, Hiruzen Sarutobi tossed an intelligence scroll to Minato.

"Yes, Hokage-sama," Minato replied, along with Nawaki.

After they left, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked out the window. Although he was reluctant to let the recent graduates take risks, most of the village's ninjas had gone to the Land of Rain. A few days ago, another group went to provide support. Many of the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield in the Land of Rain had been poisoned by the Sand Ninja puppeteers. Tsunade didn't have a good solution yet, since developing an antidote would take time. So, the only option was to bring the wounded back to Konoha to recuperate.

Among this group of recent graduates, Hiruzen Sarutobi would naturally choose his grand-disciple here. He is excellent, calm-headed, and kind. If he weren't already training Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have preferred to train the warm-hearted Minato. As for Nawaki... he's just a substitute.

"Minato, why don't you go tell Kushina first, or I'm afraid she'll tear down the Hokage's office?" Nawaki teased Minato as the three of them left the Hokage Building.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you to wait a bit!" Minato thought for a moment and decided to tell Kushina that he would lose his girlfriend if he didn't return from the mission.

...

In the territory of the Thousand Hands Clan,

"Why? Why can you go but I can't?" When Minato arrived, Kushina had just gotten up. She was furious when she heard that Hiruzen Sarutobi had secretly sent Minato, Hiashi, and their substitute Nawaki to the Land of Rain but not her.

"Uh... Kushina, the Hokage is only doing this for your own good. Besides, you still have to protect the village for Mito-sama. What if the Land of Water attacks if you leave? There are still Aunt Haruko and Linlin in the village!" Minato coaxed gently.

"Hmph! I'll let it go this time, but you'd better be careful. But if there's a next time, I'll definitely tear down his office!" Kushina was persuaded by Minato. So... women in love really don't think straight; they can believe such a lame excuse.

"Don't worry, we're still on the border of the Land of Fire, nothing will happen to us," Minato said with a smile.

The three met at the village entrance and set off. "Minato, you can actually tolerate Kushina's personality? She's even more irritable than my older sister!" Nawaki complained on the way.

"Haha! Actually, Kushina is nothing special," Minato laughed.

“Only you can stand it.” Rope Tree rolled his eyes.

"Wait!" Hiashi, who hadn't said a word and was rolling his eyes, suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" The two stopped and turned around.

"I see four streams of chakra. Three are relatively small, probably Chunin. One is Jonin," Hiashi said.

Their expressions turned serious. "Could it be a ninja from our Konoha?" Nawaki said.

"I don't think so. Let's hide first and see how things go," Minato said.

The three hid in the shadows for a short while before four ninjas appeared, but they were four Iwa ninjas.

"What should I do? I can only take on two Chunin at most?" Nawaki asked Minato. He didn't include the Seven Star Sword in his calculations. After all, even if he had the Senju clan's genes, he could only use the Seven Star Sword once at most, and then it would be drained. His talent wasn't high, and his genes weren't great either. So Shanks would teach him how to use a stun gun whenever he had the chance. After all, wasn't he just a stick that could grow bigger and smaller? Orochimaru had stopped liking Nawaki's blood ever since he got Tsunade as a regular customer.

"Alright, I'll hold off that Jonin. You guys take care of the three Chunin as soon as possible to help me. I can only hold him off," Minato decided after thinking for a while.

The other two nodded; now was not the time to show off or take advantage of their strength.

"on!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Minato used a Level Release technique to blow at the three Chunin, then flashed to the Jonin of Iwa and fired a Finger Pistol.

"Humph!"

The Jonin of Iwa saw a blond-haired man rushing towards him, and he slightly dodged Minato's Finger Pistol. Just then, Nawaki appeared with a stick and struck a Chunin who had just dodged a Wind Release technique.

"boom!"

The Chunin collapsed to the ground, his life hanging in the balance. As expected of the strongest summoning beast, even if it was just a title, a blow from the stick it transformed into was something no ordinary Chunin could withstand.

"Kouta! You bastard!" One of the Iwa ninja friends was furious when he saw his buddy get knocked out and fall to the ground, but he was currently being held back by Hiashi.

After Nawaki knocked down one Chunin, he also gave another Chunin a chance to react.

"Top top top bang bang bang"

After only a few collisions, the Chunin's katana was already cracked all over.

"Eight Trigrams 89 Palm! Drink!"

After Hiashi finished his Bagua Palm technique, another Chunin was already lying on the ground as limp flesh.

"Go help Minato, I'll take care of him and come over!" Nawaki said to Hiashi while chasing after the Chunin with the katana.

Without wasting words, Japan's Japanese team rushed to the side to help Minato.

"Damn it, don't run away if you dare, I'll beat you to death!" Nawaki chased after the Chunin with the katana and kept hitting him.

However, this Chunin seemed to be lacking in everything else, but he was incredibly fast at running away, and Nawaki couldn't catch up with him for a long time.

"If you've got the guts, throw away your stick and we'll try again. What's the big deal about a stick?" This Chunin was a master of trash talk. He just wanted to stall until his teacher finished off those two and came back to rescue him. This man carrying a sword and a stick was utterly shameless. A leveling-up ninja already wielding a divine weapon—Konoha ninjas are so rich.

"Fine! You said it, anyone who doesn't dare to fight one-on-one is a coward!" Rope Tree seemed to be provoked by him and threw the stick to the ground.

"Haha, you bastard, I'll kill you!" The ninja with the sword didn't expect this rich Konoha ninja to be so stupid. He turned around, laughed loudly, and charged at him.

"What an idiot! Who said you have to have a stick in your hand to knock someone over? Daddy Enma, go!" Nawaki shouted as he saw the ninja with the sword turn around to attack him!

The Monkey Demon's staff flew up and struck the back of the head of the ninja with the sword, and the world was at peace!

"Daddy Ape Demon is still the best!!" Rope Tree flattered the stick.

If Tsunade heard Nawaki's name for Enma, they would both be utterly humiliated.

After flattering him, Nawaki immediately rushed towards Minato's side. At this moment, Hiashi and Minato were fighting back and forth, and the combat experience of a Jonin was far superior to that of two young boys, so he was not at a disadvantage even when surrounded by Hiashi and Minato.

"Scatter! Wood Release: Top Transformation Buddha"

When Rope Tree arrived, he suddenly shouted.

The Jonin was startled when he heard the words "Wood Release," and his mind went blank for a moment. Minato seized the opportunity and pointed his finger gun directly at his chest.

"boom!"

Instead of flying out as expected, the Jonin was pierced through the chest, with blood and internal organs gushing out, a truly disgusting sight.

"Holy crap! Minato, you're such a pervert!" Nawaki was startled by Minato's move! It's so damn disgusting!

"Yes, that's right!" Even Hiashi couldn't stand such a disgusting scene!

"Ugh!" Minato's face turned purple, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, vomiting violently. He hadn't expected his modified finger gun to be so powerful. It had pierced a hole in a person's chest.

Nawaki and Hiashi were also caught up in Minato's rhythm, and they squatted down and vomited violently.

"Damn it, don't point your finger at me next time, it's terrifying. I'm so glad I didn't learn Uncle's finger gun technique." Rope Tree was still shaken.

"I...I didn't know it was so powerful. I just made a slight modification." Minato gasped for breath, his words coming out in broken sentences.

"I thought this Jonin was some kind of fierce ninja, but he was scared like this by my grandfather's Wood Release!" Nawaki said with disdain after regaining some strength.

"...That's your grandpa's awesomeness, what's it to you!" The ape demon thought with disdain.

"..." Minato and Hiashi stared at the sky without saying a word. Who could blame them when their grandfather was so awesome?

Minato, suppressing his nausea, examined the Jonin's corpse and found an intelligence scroll. It was likely given to a spy who had infiltrated Konoha, but it didn't specify how to make contact, so it was useless. He took it back to the Hokage and let him make a decision.

The three then rushed to the Konoha camp in the Land of Rain, but found no enemies.

"Brother, I am Minato Namikaze, a genin from Konoha. The Hokage has some information for us to deliver to Lord Sakumo," Minato said to the two guards at the entrance.

"What are you reporting, Brother Tian Shi? Is my sister still inside?" Rope Tree looked at one of the guards.

"Haha, Nawaki, you can't go in this time. You need the commander's permission first," Tamotsu laughed.

"Tch! Always putting on this show." Nawaki muttered.

Not long after, Tsunade heard that her younger brother had come to the Land of Rain, so she ran to the camp and punched the head of the man.

"boom!"

"You brat, didn't I tell you not to come to the front lines?" Tsunade punched his head and then tightly gripped his neck.

"Big sister, she's about to die!" Rope Tree's eyes were rolling back!
