Konoha Drunkard

However, his talent was really just average. As a child, he was quite outstanding because of the large amount of cultivation resources left by some mirrors and the elite education of Koharu Utatane.

However, as he grew up, the consequences of not having enough talent began to take hold. He had been a Special Jonin since the age of sixteen. After witnessing the killing of his clansmen during the Rain Country War, he was mentally stimulated and awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan. He was better than some Uchiha, but much worse than the second male lead's father. At this time, he was already 20 years old, and it was too difficult for him to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. Therefore, he was determined to help the second male lead's father fulfill their dream.

"Ah, that's why the Uchiha clan must participate in this war, otherwise the Uchiha's path in the village will become increasingly narrow!" The second male lead's father looked at Jasmine with deep affection.

........

At this time, on the battlefield of the Land of Lightning, Shanks and Raikage A were once again carrying out demolition work.

"Superhuman Strength Armor - One Against Five Plus Two!"

"Hell Piercing - One Book Piercing Hand!"

"Superpower Armor. Bounce, bounce, bounce away those crow's feet!"

"Hell Piercing - One Book Piercing Hand!"

......

A little over a month later, the two lay down again. Of course, Shanks, to give face to Raikage A, pretended to be physically exhausted. Shanks, who respected the elderly and cared for the young, had to give the old man face.

"Huff! Huff! Raikage, you should go back now. The battle in the Land of Rain is over. Go back and hug your wives and beat up your kids, that would be great." Shanks said, looking at Raikage A, who was also lying in the deep pit.

"Phew!! That won't do. The battlefield in the Land of Rain has only ended, the war isn't over yet! If I don't bring people here to wander around, people will say I'm a coward, just like in the Land of Water. How will I ever be able to face the ninja world again?" Raikage A said.

"You're really too proud to admit it. Look how badly Onoki and Salai got beaten up by my buddy. I stopped you, didn't I?" Shanks raised an eyebrow.

"Hahaha! If I had gone over there again, your Konoha's White Fang wouldn't have been so lucky. But I heard that Konoha also suffered heavy losses." Raikage A said, looking at the sky.

"When it comes to fighting, people always die. But I really didn't expect Hanzo of the Salamander from the Land of Rain to be so tough, daring to go head-to-head with the Iwa ninja!" Shanks' tone was also surprised. When he first heard the news, he doubted whether it was a fake news. Only the great Yonko Red-Haired Shanks dared to go head-to-head with more than 10,000 ninjas with a few thousand ragtag troops! He didn't expect Hanzo of the Salamander to be so awesome.

"Haha! Don't underestimate him. His poison techniques are indeed troublesome. There are still many geniuses and strong ninjas in the ninja world!" Raikage A exclaimed.

"So you mean we should just keep fighting and drinking here?" Shanks raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong with that? It saves me from getting angry when I go back to the village and see those old guys!" Lei Yingai's face changed when she thought of the village's leaders.

"Hahaha! That's why I told you to quit being the Raikage. Look how great I am! I can do whatever I want every day, fight with you, drink with you, and have a blast!" Shanks laughed loudly.

"Haha, let's talk about it in another ten years or so, it's not possible now." Lei Ying also laughed loudly.

"I've thought about what will happen in ten years. If I fight with your son, I won't be interested in you, you old geezer," Shanks said disdainfully.

"Haha, kid, don't underestimate me!" Lei Yingai didn't care, he was used to Lei Yingai's foul mouth.

"Tonight we'll drink your Land of Lightning's sake; our Konoha sake hasn't arrived yet." Shanks was too lazy to talk to him. More than ten years later, you're already a one-man army; who would want to fight you? If you want to fight, go down there and find Hashirama Senju.

118. Even the rope tree has dried up! "Please subscribe"

The battlefield in the Land of Lightning was mostly spent with Shanks and the Raikage fighting and drinking.

Because the demand for alcohol in the Land of Lightning battlefield is so high, the amount sent each time is not enough for Shanks and the Raikage to drink once after their duel. This has indirectly boosted employment in both countries. Every month, Konoha and Kumogakure would purchase large quantities of spirits domestically.

Konoha was relatively unscathed; the cost of buying strong liquor was a drop in the ocean for them, as long as no one died. But the higher-ups of Kumogakure were as upset as if they'd swallowed a fly. They had hoped the Kumogakure ninja would march into the Land of Rain and join the two major villages in attacking Konoha, hoping to reap some benefits from Konoha later. However, before the Kumogakure ninja even left the Land of Lightning, they were blocked by Konoha's Shanks. The two had been locked in a drinking contest at the border, and when they ran out of liquor, they were forced to buy it. How could they not be frustrated? Not only did they not gain any benefits, but they also lost a fortune buying liquor for them—worse than losing the fight. Yet they dared not refuse; they had all witnessed Shanks' power, and only the Raikage could stop him.

......

At this time, Konoha is recuperating and will not mobilize troops to defend various battlefields for another six months. In any case, other villages are also recuperating for a period of time, so Konoha is still very peaceful.

"Uncle Hokage, what do you need me for?" Nawaki arrived at the Hokage's office.

"Ah! Nawaki is getting more and more mature!" Hiruzen Sarutobi praised the boy in front of him against his conscience. Only this boy could use his Enma as a fire poker.

"Haha! Of course, I'm growing every day." Rope Tree didn't know the meaning of modesty.

"I'm giving you a mission this time. Shanks' supplies are almost gone. You'll lead a team to the battlefield in the Land of Lightning! Go and inform Minato and Hiashi later," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

"Oh? Can we stay there a little longer? You know, it's so boring in Konoha, all we do is study Jiraiya's papers every day!" Nawaki gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a knowing look.

"Ahem! Ahem! Alright, I'll let you stay there this time, it'll be good for you to experience war..." Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed as usual. Anyway, Shanks' side wasn't in any danger, it was practically a vacation... It was better to leave him there, otherwise... he would really feel bad for his two teachers...

"boom!"

At that moment, the office door opened and a white-haired figure rushed in.

"Jiraiya, you stop right there! I'll beat the Senju to a pulp today!" A fierce roar came from behind!

"..." Hiruzen Sarutobi quietly inhaled his opium.

“…” Rope Tree shivered upon hearing the voice.

"Jiraiya, are you a pervert? You actually stole a woman's underwear!" Tsunade chased him into the office, ignoring everyone present and glaring fiercely at Jiraiya.

"What?! I was researching which fabrics women are allergic to. And Nawaki dried it up too, why didn't you go talk to him?!" Jiraiya, no longer intimidated at the Hokage's office, decisively betrayed his teammates!

"..." Nawaki was dumbfounded! Damn it, I never expected Jiraiya to be like this!

"Sister, I'm going on a mission!" Rope Tree ran out before she could finish speaking.

However, with his mediocre skills, how could he possibly compare to the two top-ranking members of Konoha?

With a loud "bang," a human-shaped mark appeared on the wall of the office in front of Nawaki. Jiraiya was nowhere to be seen!

"You brat, if I don't break all three of your legs today, I'm not your sister!" Tsunade angrily grabbed Nawaki by the neck, giving him no chance to struggle.

"Ah! Help! Uncle Hokage, help me... My two grandfathers are watching you!"

"......." Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless. Damn it, now you think of me? I've never seen you give me any perks before! And Tsunade, if you break all three of his legs, you're really not his sister anymore.

"Ahem! Nawaki is still young, he can be corrected with proper guidance. He has to deliver supplies to Shanks tomorrow, so let's wait until he gets back before discussing anything else!" Hiruzen Sarutobi, wanting to save face in front of his two former presidents, advised against his conscience. If this could be corrected, he would have done so decades ago.

"Hmph! I'll let you off this time, but if there's a next time, you'll be sorry. I'll burn all that mess in your room for you! Don't let me find any more of that stuff! Otherwise..." Tsunade raised her hand and slowly clenched her fist, her fingers cracking.

"Okay! There won't be a next time. I'm leaving now, sister! Goodbye, Uncle Naruto!" Although she felt bad about the collection, her three legs were more important.

"..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart bled when he heard Tsunade say to burn those things! However, as an excellent politician, he would not show his feelings.

The next day, the three boys led a group to the Land of Lightning, but the carriage was full of alcohol, with no food or anything else.

"Minato, relax, this mission is safe!" Nawaki lay in the car, looking at Minato and Hiashi with serious expressions.

Hiashi is one thing, but his expression is always like this, with his eyes wide open, glancing around and looking around, making Nawaki envious. That's the bloodline limit that Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya, and Nawaki all dreamed of! He can see through everything, so tell me, aren't you scared!

"Well, I'm used to it," Minato laughed.

"Don't worry, this road is my uncle's territory, and I heard that the Cloud Ninja are living a life of debauchery. They wouldn't have the time to come to Konoha looking for trouble!" Nawaki said lazily.

"Well, I really envy Shikaku and the others. They get to watch the battle between the teacher and the Raikage every day!" Hiashi said enviously.

"Yeah! I heard they've fought several times already, each time lasting over a month. They're really monsters," Minato said longingly.

If Shikaku heard this, he would definitely pin them to the ground and make them sing "Devil's Steps." They can't see anything, they can only hear the sound, what the hell are they supposed to see! And they're tormented by earthquakes every day, they don't get a good night's sleep except when they're drunk.

"Tch! Don't even think about it. We're all normal people. My uncle is exceptionally gifted; his physical strength is many times greater than that of an average person. As for the Raikage, he has inherited his family's ninjutsu and taijutsu, which he's practiced since childhood. It's incredibly painful; his body is constantly stimulated by lightning. He's been teaching it for decades! It's many times more painful than Minato's Finger Gun training!" Nawaki, having listened to Shanks' boasting every day, knew the Raikage quite well.

"The Raikage is so powerful!" the two friends exclaimed in admiration. Some of the ninjas transporting supplies nearby also looked over; they were all commoner genin or chunin who had never encountered anything so advanced before!

"Of course! My uncle said that's the kind of man who could withstand the Eight-Tails for a month without getting hurt. No one in the ninja world can break his defense. I bet even my uncle can't break it without a sword! So every time they fight, they fight until they're completely exhausted, and neither of them can break the other's defense!" Rope Tree's Little Classroom explained.

119. Shanks started his lecture, asking for subscriptions.

"Oh! Shikoku!" The surrounding audience exclaimed in unison.

"Then why doesn't Lord Shanks use a sword? Lord Shanks is the man who split Kirigakure in two with a single sword strike!" An unknown extra stole Minato's line.

Minato: "Director, this extra stole my lines!"

.........

"Ha! You guys don't understand! That kind of head-on confrontation is the romance of men. We agreed on a fair one-on-one fight. Raikage didn't even use a weapon. Is my uncle the kind of person who would take advantage of others?" Nawaki said.

"Lord Shanks is truly amazing!"

Shanks' worship value has increased by a whopping 9999 points!

Meanwhile, Shanks, whose worship value had been spurred on by Rope Tree, was fast asleep! Last night was another drinking contest between Konoha and Kumogakure. After each drinking contest, Shanks would be drunk for three days and three nights, then rest for a few days before continuing his romantic relationship with the Raikage.

At this moment, only Shikaku, sporting huge panda eyes, sat in the main seat with a worried expression! Ever since his first three-day drunken spree, Shikaku had become increasingly cunning and calculating whenever they drank together. So, after a night of heavy drinking, he woke up the next day. Luckily, he did, otherwise he wouldn't have received the intelligence his father had sent him: the Ino-Shika-Cho trio would be stationed in the Land of Earth with Sakumo in six months. But he wasn't included, leaving him to continue living a life of misery in the Land of Lightning. Compared to this, he would rather be fighting the Sand Village in the Land of Earth.

"Hey! Is anyone there?! That's so unreliable, there's no one at the entrance in broad daylight!" A voice from outside the camp interrupted Shikaku's thoughts.

As soon as Shikaku stepped out of the camp, he saw the Konoha supply convoy arrive, along with Nawaki, Minato, and Hiashi. "Why are you all here too?"

"Haha, Shikaku, what's wrong with your eyes? Haven't you slept in ages?" Nawaki laughed when he saw Shikaku's panda eyes.

"Sigh, I haven't been able to sleep a single day since I got here! I only get a maximum of three hours of sleep a night," Lu Jiu sighed and complained.

"No way, isn't it said that the teacher and the Raikage are either fighting or drinking?" Minato asked curiously.

"Hey! You'll see after you've been here for a while! I'd rather be on the battlefield than stay in this godforsaken place!" Lu Jiu complained.

"I can't believe it. You'll see when you get to the battlefield. The three of us just came back from the battlefield in the Land of Rain. Let me tell you, the scene still gives me chills when I think about it. There were dead people everywhere, and all sorts of ninjutsu flying around. If I hadn't been quick-witted, I would have been dead in the Land of Rain!" Nawaki clearly didn't believe Shikaku's words!

"Hey! I hope you guys can be as passionate as you are now!" Shikaku said, patting Nawaki on the shoulder.

"By the way, where are the people in the camp? There's not a single one in sight. Could they all be dead?"

Rope Tree asked.

"No, they're all in the camp, but they all seem to be sleeping?" Hiashi, the "Nation's Father-in-Law," rolled his eyes and looked around.

"Ah, everyone's drunk. I just finished drinking with Yunren last night, but I won't wake up for another three days," Shikaku said, rubbing his forehead.

"What! The rumors are true? You guys drink with the Cloud Ninja every day?" Nawaki used to think the rumors were just bragging. Who would have such an unreliable war? He had experienced the war in the Land of Rain.

"It's true, but not every day. It happens about once a month on average. The next time will be after the battle between the teacher and the Raikage."

"So you're saying you watch their epic battles every day? Isn't it exciting?" asked Hiashi, the "national father-in-law," with envy.

"You'll find out in a few days." Lu Jiu was too lazy to explain. They'd find out by then. What a load of rubbish! They wouldn't be able to see anything, they'd only hear the sounds, and they'd be listening for over a month.

.........

Three days later, Shanks woke up.

"Haha, I didn't expect the Hokage to let you guys come. How was it? I heard you went to the battlefield in the Land of Rain. Were you scared to death?" Shanks and the six boys sat around the camp and asked Nawaki and the other two.

"Haha! How could that be? You didn't see my heroic figure back then. Countless ninjas have died at my hands!" Nawaki would never admit that he was actually scared to death at the beginning.

"Haha, really! Where's Minato?" Shanks ignored Nawaki's Jiraiya-esque reply and looked at Minato.

Minato thought for a moment and said, "It's alright. The battlefield was too chaotic at the time, and I didn't really think about attacking as soon as I saw the enemy."

"What about Hiashi? I've heard that besides the Uchiha, your clan is the most powerful." Shanks raised an eyebrow at the "Father-in-Law of the Nation".
