Konoha Drunkard

"I'll settle the score with you later. Come with me, Sakumo is waiting for you inside." Tsunade said to the three of them before leading them into the command camp.

"Hey, Nawaki, Minato, has old man Hiashi finally decided to let you out?" Jiraiya said in a rather unreliable manner.

"Give us the intelligence first, we can talk about everything else later," Sakumo said.

After reading the intelligence report, Sakumo's expression turned serious. "The report says that the Tsuchikage has arrived in the Land of Rain and made peace with Hanzo. However, it is still unclear whether Hanzo will join forces with both countries to deal with Konoha."

As soon as Sakumo's voice fell, the command camp became serious. It was already difficult enough in the previous chaotic battle, but now it was even worse. He was fighting three against one. Fortunately, Shanks was there to hold off the Cloud Ninja, otherwise it would have been four against one! Thinking of the scene in the previous chaotic battle, everyone present felt a little numb. Although ninjas all had to kill, the feeling of their hands getting sore from killing was really unpleasant.

"Now we can only continue to ask the village for support, and also take the opportunity to transport the wounded back to recuperate. The hospital conditions here are still not as good as those in the village," Tsunade said.

“However, the situation in the Land of Water is still unclear, and the village probably won’t be able to provide any support. After all, the Land of Earth is a case in point during World War I,” said Hiruzen Sarutobi’s younger brother, Hiruma Sarutobi.

"Actually, we can break up their alliance. Putting aside Iwa and Amegakure, I don't think Sand and Iwa have a very good relationship. Last time, they killed quite a few people from each other," Orochimaru said.

After listening to Orochimaru's words and thinking about it carefully, Hatake Sakumo realized that it made sense. However, he didn't want someone who was good at scheming, so he looked at the schemer Orochimaru and asked, "Orochimaru, what's your plan?"

Orochimaru thought for a moment and said, "What if the Rain Ninja discover that the Sand Ninja are massacring civilians in the Land of Rain?"

"What? No, we can't involve ordinary civilians!" Tsunade was the first to disagree.

"this..."

Many people in the camp hesitated, and some even wanted to do the same. After all, they weren't civilians from their Fire Kingdom, and it was better for those people to die than for their own family members to die.

"Then what do you suggest we do? Our current strength is insufficient to fight against the ninjas from three countries. If we continue fighting like this, even more of us will die," Orochimaru said hoarsely.

“It just won’t work. Too many civilians have already died because of the war. Now we’re using their lives to complete our plan. What’s the difference between us and the people who actually started the war?” Tsunade said, looking at Orochimaru.

"I support Tsunade!" Jiraiya stood up and looked at Orochimaru seriously.

"Alright, since you don't agree, let's think of another way, but we need to hurry. I reckon they'll start attacking us again soon," Hatake Sakumo said, rubbing his temples.

However, the Sand Village and the Rock Village clearly did not want to give Konoha a chance to come up with a solution. As soon as it got dark, Aunt Chiyo and the Tsuchikage Onoki, the red-nosed ninja, each led more than 10,000 ninja to attack Konoha's camp.

Fortunately, the Hyuga clan was on Konoha's side. They spotted Chiyo and Red Nose's two groups about three kilometers away from Konoha's camp.

"Oh no! The Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja are about to launch a sneak attack!" The Hyuga clan branch family member exclaimed and immediately went back to report.

"We'll abandon the camp and launch a full-scale attack on the Iwa ninja. They suffered more losses than the Suna ninja recently." After giving the decisive order, Hatake Sakumo immediately rushed towards the Iwa ninja, followed by a large group of ninja.

When Hatake Sakumo led a group of Konoha ninjas to the Iwa ninjas' side, Hatake Sakumo was a man of few words. He drew his short sword and instantly killed an Iwa ninja before heading straight for the red-nosed Onoki!

"Konoha's White Fang, not bad at all." Onoki praised the white-haired ninja wielding a short blade who had charged towards him, but inwardly he was incredibly frustrated. Why did all the geniuses go to Konoha? Looking at the group of young people at the front of Konoha's side, he felt increasingly resentful! His own son couldn't even learn Dust Release, while the young people from Konoha were all Jonin.

"White Fang, pursue!"

Sakumo Hatake was too lazy to argue with him. He wasn't even a beauty; Aunt Chiyo, with her white teeth, would at least give him some face. After all, she'd seen him as a child, and he was indeed a beauty. Onoki? Just a little dwarf with a red nose.

Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique

"boom!"

The red-nosed rock's fist shattered.

"brush!"

A flash of white light, and missing Red Nose, Red Nose Onoki flew up as if cheating...

Sakumo Hatake was speechless. Not only was he ugly, but he also cheated and flew away.

Sakumo Hatake gritted his teeth and charged toward the place with the most Iwa ninja, which resulted in a massacre. Onoki, with his red nose, was furious in the air, but dared not use Dust Release.

"Spirit Summoning Technique! Come forth, Gamabuntae!"

"boom!"

"Are you an idiot! Don't you know Onoki can use Dust Release? Why are you charging into the crowd?" Tsunade heard Jiraiya use a summoning jutsu and went over to punch him.

"Huh? Wentai, sorry, you should go back!" Jiraiya said, and then rushed back into the crowd.

"..." Toad Wentai had never really thought about hitting anyone, and turned into smoke to return to the Toad Cave.

"brush"

A flash of white light, and several more heads flew into the sky. Hatake Sakumo's fighting style made it as easy as cutting melons and vegetables among a group of ninjas whose strength was inferior to his. This is also why Shanks taught others how to kill.

Nawaki fully utilized his talent for ambushing Tsunade from behind, and with the added bonus of the Monkey King, all attention was drawn to Tsunade's domineering aura. For Nawaki, it was simply a good place to gain experience. Every now and then, he would see a ninjutsu of slightly lower level behind Tsunade, and he would pull out his 40-meter-long staff and strike it.

Orochimaru glanced over from behind and his eye twitched! Is this still my disciple? How can he be so sleazy!

Then look at Minato. Under Jiraiya's cover, he didn't care about being disgusting anymore; he aimed a finger gun and fired! Calm-headed and with clear combat awareness, he was practically Orochimaru's perfect disciple. But fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on him. It was Shanks who first approached him, but in order to make a deal with Tsunade, he ended up taking in a fake Jiraiya as his disciple...

The battle was short-lived; the Iwa ninja had lost a third of their forces. There was nothing they could do; the ragtag troops sent to the Land of Rain were all Konoha's elite, while the ragtag army was busy drinking with the Cloud ninja in the Land of Lightning.

The Uchiha clan may be a bit arrogant, but their strength is undeniably formidable. Even a single-tomoe Uchiha dares to take on two Iwa ninjas, let alone one with three tomoe! One against five, are you scared yet?

The Hyuga clan isn't much different. With Byakugan and pressure point techniques or Bagua Palm, they're practically machines for crushing weaker opponents. If they see teammates in danger, they can just rush over and pull them back from the brink. That's the best teammate of the year.

The Inuzuka clan's human-dog coordination is flawless; they always manage to outmaneuver anyone. While others engage in one-on-one combat, they're always in a two-on-one situation...

The battle was a one-sided affair. Onoki looked at the battlefield below and his nose turned black with anger. He really wanted to throw a series of Dust Release attacks at the people below, but he couldn't go down. He was a ninjutsu-type player and was no match for a burst-type opponent like Hatake Sakumo. If this dragged on, the Sand Ninja would probably just attack the Iwa Ninja directly when they arrived.

"Retreat!" Ohnoki shouted angrily!

Upon hearing their Tsuchikage's order, the Iwa ninja below gritted their teeth, glanced at the Konoha side, and retreated.

Earth Release: Rock Golem Goren

Onoki unleashed a super defensive Earth Release technique at the back of the Iwa ninja, blocking the Konoha members' pursuit.

"Turn around and attack the Sand Village!" Hatake Sakumo watched the departing Iwa ninja, and then looked at the fact that Konoha's losses weren't too serious. It has to be said that Konoha now has an overwhelming advantage in one-on-one combat against any village. However, the four great villages have never given Konoha this kind of opportunity before; every time, it's been a series of defeats.

After thoroughly humiliating the Iwa ninja this time, Hatake Sakumo gritted his teeth and turned around to give the Sand ninja a taste of their own medicine.

Although continuous battles take a heavy toll on the Konoha ninja, they can also use this momentum to cripple the Sand ninja, giving them more time to recuperate later.

When Chiyo led the Sand Ninja to the Konoha camp, they found it deserted. Chiyo deduced that Konoha was after the Iwa Ninja, so she led the Sand Ninja across the Land of Rain border, intending to set up camp after entering the Land of Fire border. However, they were overtaken by Konoha's elite forces led by Hatake Sakumo, resulting in another massacre. This time, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Hatake Sakumo ganged up on Chiyo. Tsunade's monstrous strength was a puppeteer's nightmare; she unleashed a barrage of blows on the Ten Ninja, shattering seven of them. The Sand Ninja were also routed by the Konoha elites. However, an unexpected event occurred: the Uchiha clan leader, trying to save his son, was fatally wounded by Chiyo's son's puppet, poison entering his heart. Although he managed to survive... However, he wouldn't live much longer. When his nominal father was struck, Uchiha Fugaku successfully awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, becoming the first genius of the Uchiha clan after Uchiha Madara to awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan at the age of 18.

The Sand Village was also massacred by the Uchiha clan in a fit of rage, leaving less than 4000 ninjas. In the end, Chiyo had no choice but to lead them back to the Land of Wind.

The battle in the Land of Rain was temporarily over. By the time Hatake Sakumo and his men returned to their camp, Konoha had lost nearly 5000 ninjas and had more than 10,000 wounded.

116. Danzo snorted, "Please subscribe."

The battle in the Land of Rain ended with Sakumo Hatake's decisive counterattack in one night. Onoki led over 7,000 ninja back to Iwagakure. Chiyo led over 4000 ninja back to Sunagakure. Konoha also lost 5000 ninja, with over 10,000 wounded returning to the village. The White Fang of Konoha's fame grew even more. Previously, he was often mentioned as a genius, comparable to Shanks, but that fame stemmed from his assassination attempt on the Second Kazekage, Shamon, with Shanks. For many years, he served as the head of the Anbu, rarely venturing into the ninja world, and was gradually forgotten. This time, however, his successful counterattack against the combined forces of two nations during a night attack brought him back into the spotlight.

At this time, everyone noticed that there had been no news of Shanks from Konoha for a long time. Then, a message came from the bounty hunting agency that Shanks from Konoha was leading three thousand ninjas in a drinking contest with the Third Raikage of Kumogakure and more than ten thousand ninjas at the border between the Land of the Moon and the Land of Lightning. In the end, everyone was drunk on the battlefield for three days. If a more powerful bounty hunter had appeared at that time, the heads of Shanks and the Third Raikage would have been as easy as picking them up!

This news caused an even bigger shock than Sakumo Hatake's counterattack against the two great ninja villages! Konoha and the two great villages were fighting to the death in the Land of Rain, while Shanks and the Third Raikage were just having a casual fight and drinking, like it was a holiday. Is this how war is fought?

"boom!"

"That bastard Raikage! I knew he wouldn't go to the Land of Rain to join the fun! Turns out he was drinking with that Shanks from Konoha, causing us so much damage!" The ninja on guard outside the Tsuchikage's building trembled. The Tsuchikage had already smashed six tables today. They couldn't understand how that body, not even as tall as his son, could unleash such a temper! Could it be... that Iwato wasn't his biological son? Another wave of rumors circulated in Iwagakure about whether Iwato was a genetic mutation.

Fengyinglou.

"That bastard Shanks from Konoha! Every time he shows up, nothing good ever comes of it!" The Third Kazekage, Sharei, was no longer angry at this point. He was used to it anyway, and ever since Chiyo returned with four thousand ninjas, he knew that getting angry wouldn't help. He should think about how to make up for the losses this time! After all, he was the one who started the war in the first place. Learning from the lessons of World War I, he left half of the village's ninjas behind in case Konoha sent Shanks again. But that bastard went to drink with the Raikage. Sharei's heart was bleeding. "When I was on guard against you, you didn't come. Are you only coming now that I've left with my men?"

If Shanks knew what Salai was thinking, he would definitely give him a kingly contempt. Dude, you're overthinking it. Anyway, you'll be killed by Chiyo's grandson in a few years, why would I bother with you... I don't talk to extras, it's beneath me!

......

In the Hokage's office, the four giants of Konoha were having another roundtable meeting. This time, they were discussing whether Shanks should still challenge the Raikage to a drinking contest in the Land of Lightning, and they were also discussing how Konoha should proceed with its work.

Konoha's Flower, Logistics Minister, and Konoha Board Member, Koharu Utatane, delivered an important speech. She supported Shanks continuing his drinking contest with Raikage A in the Land of Lightning, pointing out that while Konoha had achieved a great victory on the battlefield in the Land of Rain, the village itself had suffered heavy losses: the sacrifice of 5,000 heroes and injuries to over 10,000 ninjas of varying degrees. Konoha's hospitals were now completely full, and the Hidden Cloud Village, currently the best-preserved village, was Konoha's primary target for defense. Therefore, she was willing to sacrifice some alcohol to ensure Shanks could drink to his heart's content after each fight with the Raikage, ideally making the Raikage forget that it was still wartime.

Konoha's Flower, Koharu Utatane, had just finished speaking when Mitokado Homura, the Konoha Bystander, Vice-Minister of Logistics, and Board Member, delivered an important speech. He pointed out that although the two major villages had suffered some losses in the Rain Country battlefield, they were still within their capacity to withstand them. Furthermore, the content of the meeting between Hanzo of the Salamander, the leader of the Rain Country, and the Tsuchikage was still unclear. Therefore, Konoha had to guard against the two major villages launching a counterattack and also be wary of whether Hanzo of the Salamander was plotting something. This chaotic battle in the Rain Country had shown the ninja world the strength of the Rain Country, which was far superior to that of Takigakure, the so-called sixth-greatest ninja village. Moreover, Hanzo of the Salamander's individual strength was not to be underestimated.

Based on the current situation, it appears that the Land of Water has withdrawn from this world war.

At the same time, it was proposed to send three of Sarutobi's disciples with 5,000 ninjas to the Land of Rain to guard against the Rain Ninja and Hanzo.

Sakumo Hatake is stationed on the battlefield in the Land of Wind to guard against another wave of attacks from the Sand Ninja.

As for the Iwa ninja, Hiruzen Sarutobi needs to personally lead the Konoha elites in defense, since Onoki is the kind of person who won't turn back until he hits a mountain; he's just stubborn!

After Konoha's soy sauce guest, Mitokado Homura, finished speaking, Shimura Danzo, the head of Root, the ANBU's reserve organization, and a member of the Konoha Board of Directors, also gave an important speech. He snorted and finished speaking. ...They've already said everything, and now they're still talking about balls.

Finally, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the CEO of Konoha and the chairman of the Council for Caring for Konoha's Ladies, issued a series of orders.

Order: The three Konoha ninja—Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru—will lead 5,000 ninja from the Inuzuka and Hyuga clans, along with the village, to the border of the Land of Rain to conduct defense work. Mitokado Homura, the vice-head of the logistics department, will be in charge of logistics.

Order: Konoha's Twin Flower Red Staff, Anbu Chief Hatake Sakumo, and Grand Strategist Nara Shika, along with the Aburame clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Sarutobi clan, and the village, will form a force of 10,000 ninja to defend the Sand Village on the Land of Wind's battlefield. Logistics Vice-Chief Mitokado Homura will provide full support.

Orders: Konoha's Twin Red Staff, Shanks Uzumaki, will continue to lead 3,000 ninja to defend the Land of Lightning. Koharu Utatane, head of the logistics department, will be responsible for logistics.

Order: Konoha Board member Danzo Shimura and Konoha CEO Hiruzen Sarutobi will lead Konoha elites, along with the Uchiha and Shimura clans, to form a force of 15,000 ninja to defend Iwagakure on the Land of Earth battlefield. Logistics Director Koharu Utatane will be in charge of logistics.

Two logistics ministers are stationed at Konoha's headquarters, working with the Uzumaki clan and the Tetsuya clan to ensure Konoha's defenses are upheld!

After the order was issued, all departments and families in the village sprang into action. However, the Uchiha clan was in a rather bleak state at this time. The clan leader, Uchiha Yuta, was nearing the end of his life and wrote a will that the clan leader should be succeeded by Uchiha Fugaku, who had started wearing the three-tomoe jade at the age of 18. After that, he died in bed at the age of 42.

117. Back then, I even did it with your son. (Please subscribe)

Inside the Uchiha clan's territory, the group was preparing to set off for the battlefield in the Land of Earth. Uchiha Fugaku knelt before Uchiha Yuta's coffin, his face filled with grief.

"Hmph! Hiruzen Sarutobi is going too far! Our clan leader just died, and now he's ordering our clansmen to go to the front lines again. What does he take the Uchiha clan for!" A sixty or seventy-year-old man with completely white hair and beard, kneeling to Fugaku's left, snorted coldly with a strong voice.

"The Elder is right! Our clan has died for Konoha for so many years, and now that our clan leader is dead, before we've even had a proper burial, we're being asked to send people to the border!" Another white-haired old man chimed in.

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku opened his eyes, calmly looked at the First Elder and the Second Elder, and said, "I will take the clan members with me this time. I will leave the family to you two elders!"

Since returning, Uchiha Fugaku had been relentlessly nagged by them. At this moment, he realized his father was right. The current elders were short-sighted. If Konoha were gone, would the Uchiha clan still be living so peacefully? Why did the village tolerate the Uchiha clan's arrogance and haughtiness? It was because the Uchiha clan was always Konoha's main force in every war. During the First World War, the Uchiha clan suffered the most casualties. Even if the clan members were arrogant, the village leaders accepted it. This time, their clan's losses were not as great as the Inuzuka clan's; only their clan leader died. The village leaders would not trust their clan.

These two old fogies in front of me only care about the interests of the Uchiha clan, and always think about preserving their strength so that the Uchiha clan can dominate Konoha.

After the second male lead's father finished speaking, he turned around and knelt in front of his great-grandfather's coffin without saying a word.

"Hmph! You and Kagami's son have both been brainwashed by Hiruzen Sarutobi!" The First Elder stood up and turned to leave with the Second Elder.

After listening to the whole thing, the second male lead's father closed his eyes and remained silent.

"Fuqiu, are you alright? Don't worry, one day our people will understand us." At this moment, Xiaoxiaochun came up behind the second male lead's father and said.

"Ah, I'm fine. I just feel sorry for the Uchiha. Even now, they still can't see the Uchiha clan's place in Konoha." The second male lead's father's expression improved a lot after Xiaochun arrived.

“Well, you can’t blame them. They’ve been unable to adapt to the changing times since the founding of Konoha. Konoha is changing, and the Uchiha clan needs to change too,” said Xiaochun. It has to be said that Xiaochun perfectly inherited Kagami’s idea of ​​peaceful coexistence between the clan and the village. He had heard from a young age that many of the village’s high-ranking officials had a very negative view of the Uchiha clan. If it weren’t for the Uchiha clan’s contributions during the war and his father Kagami’s death for the village, the village would not have tolerated them until now.

So, for years he'd been working to maintain peaceful coexistence between his family and the village. In an unexpected encounter, he met what appeared to be his half-brother, the second male lead's father. They fell in love at first sight... ugh! They instantly clicked, like long-lost brothers... They even discovered they had the exact same thoughts... So, aside from sleeping, they practically ate together every day, leading Xiaochun, who was switching dorms, to wonder if the boy actually liked boys...
