Konoha Drunkard

"How many people will be sent this time? Which family will go? Let's discuss it," said Koharu Tsurugi.

"Actually, in my opinion, it's not a matter of how many people we send. As Hima's intelligence just said, no one on the battlefield can hold off the Raikage, and the Raikage is only keeping an eye on Danzo. As long as we bring Danzo back, we can send someone to help Orochimaru hold off the Raikage!" Mitokado Homura, though usually just a bystander, is different when he wears glasses; he sees things very clearly!

As soon as the soy sauce customer finished speaking, everyone looked at Shanks, Sakumo Hatake, and the Hokage. These three were the only ones sitting there who could stop the Raikage!

"Don't look at me like that. I just messed with the Raikage not long ago. If I go there, he'll definitely explode! Sakumo won't work either. The Raikage always thought that he traded with Sakumo... You guys are just making him bring up old grudges again!" Shanks said, spreading his hands. He didn't want to let him and his best friend clean up this mess for Danzo.

"..." Everyone was speechless, but thinking about it, it made sense. The guy initially brought the sake to challenge Sakumo to a drinking contest, but then he found out it was Danzo. If Sakumo went, wouldn't that just provoke him? ... Everyone then looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi! But they only glanced at him. If the Hokage did everything, wouldn't that mean Konoha had no one to rely on?

"I'll take Hyuga with me this time! Our Gentle Fist might be able to restrain him," said the Hyuga clan head, the father of the twins.

"Hey! Hyuga clan leader, you should think this through. Although your Gentle Fist is pretty awesome, those tough guys' bodies are also incredibly strong! It's not just Lightning Release mode." Shanks looked at the Hyuga clan leader in surprise. He thought that Hiruzen Sarutobi would go, the larger Ino-Shika-Cho trio would go, and he even thought of Koharu Utatane.

It was unexpected that this old otaku would go, because the main family of the Hyuga clan doesn't go out casually. Their bloodline limits don't have as many requirements as the Uchiha. Their Byakugan can be used by others, so in order to prevent the Byakugan from leaking out, the main family rarely goes to the battlefield. It's usually the branch family that goes. Moreover, Shanks didn't know the old otaku's strength, but considering that they had been exchanging compliments for so many years, he gave him a little reminder.

"Haha! Thank you, Lord Shanks, don't worry! It's true that the Raikage is strong, but I'm not weak either!" The Hyuga clan leader laughed, showing no trace of the Hyuga clan's usual serious demeanor.

Actually, he didn't just want to go; he had to go. Since the First World War, the Uchiha clan had suffered heavy losses, and with Uchiha Yuta's death in the last battle, this was an opportunity for them to surpass the Uchiha and become the number one clan in Konoha. He wanted everyone to know that the Hyuga clan was not only good at sensing enemy movements, but also fearless in battle.

Shanks saw that the Hyuga clan leader was so confident, so he didn't say anything. Anyway, he didn't know when this person had died, and he couldn't very well remind him with a worried look on his face, otherwise the person would think he was looking down on him!

“Alright, this time the Hyuga clan leader will lead the team.” Hiruzen Sarutobi gave this old otaku a deep look. As a politician, he could guess the old otaku’s thoughts, but for him, this was a good thing. After the decline of the Senju clan, the village had always been dominated by the Uchiha, which was not a good thing for the Hokage. Since the Hyuga clan had taken the lead, Hiruzen Sarutobi would let him have his way.

A week later, the village held a small farewell party. Hiruzen Sarutobi originally wanted to hold a big party to boost the reputation of the Hyuga clan, but then he thought that everyone in the village knew that their advisor had been beaten so badly that his mouth was bruised, and that the Hyuga clan had gone to rescue this Root of Konoha, so he decided to give up on the idea.

Shanks saw the thousand-plus branch family members leaving, along with the head of the main family, in the crowd and felt a pang of envy. "That's real prestige!" he thought. You think those thousand-plus branch family members were going to fight? Wrong! Utterly wrong! They were bodyguards for an old otaku!

This is even more impressive than the president's trip in my previous life! He goes out with a thousand bodyguards. In my previous life, he would definitely be on the front page every day. Even that Wang Piku guy and the penniless son of Boss Wang couldn't steal it!

"You seem quite envious?" Sakumo Hatake appeared beside him like a ghost.

"Envy my ass! Who in the ninja world doesn't know the story of how I single-handedly stormed Kirigakure with my sword? Do I even need bodyguards?" Shanks would never admit that he was dying of envy! Who wouldn't want a thousand henchmen by their side when they go out?

"..." The people around were speechless. If you had looked away from that look, I would have believed you.

"By the way, Sakumo, your son is coming out soon. Have you thought of a name yet?" Shanks forcefully changed the subject.

"Not yet, do you have any good suggestions?" Hatake Sakumo decisively helped his buddy attract the attention of those around them.

"I see... Hmm... I've got it! How about 'Hatake 50/50'? He's evenly matched with everyone, that's incredibly awesome!" Shanks said after pretending to think for a moment.

"..." Everyone was speechless. Why don't you name your daughter Whirlpool Wu Wu Kai...?

"No, let's change it!" Hatake Sakumo said without hesitation.

"Isn't this name good? I think it's pretty good! Just imagine, if your son fights me one-on-one, it'll be a 50/50 chance. Wouldn't he become famous at a young age? You know you can't survive in the ninja world without a reputation!" Shanks continued to entice.

"...Try something else." Hatake Sakumo wasn't buying it. He'd been tricked too many times before; the empty bottles in his house were proof enough. Those were his father's long-held collection of liquor, which he'd originally intended to save as a memento of his deceased father.

“Let me think… Hatake Unparalleled Super Invincible Thunderstorm? That’s impressive enough, isn’t it?” Shanks said.

“…Let’s find something more normal.” Hatake Sakumo looked up at the sky.

“I think this name is pretty good, it’s cool!” said the warm-hearted Minato.

"Minato really understands me!" Shanks patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"Kushina, whatever you do in the future, don't let Minato name your kids." Nawaki complained to Kushina beside him. What the hell? This kind of name is supposed to be cool!

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Kushina said shyly, giving him a playful punch on the head.

"Tch!" Rope Tree scoffed dismissively; his expression betrayed him.

"Wait, I've got it! How about Kakashi Hatake?" Sakumo Hatake said before Shanks could even decide.

"Too ordinary, just average! It's not even as good as Hatake Usopp! Don't believe me? Ask Tsunade. Beautiful women always have a soft spot for good names. You don't want your son to be an old bachelor like you, do you? You're lucky to have found a super beautiful girl." Shanks flattered Tsunade and then kept winking at her.

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, giving him no face at all. "...Kakashi is fine, what's with the '50/50' thing? Are you going to name your son Uzumaki 50/50?"

Everyone silently gave Tsunade a thumbs up; only Tsunade and Kushina would dare to say something like that! They said she would definitely be held a grudge.

"Tsunade, you can insult me! But you absolutely cannot insult my art of naming. I inherited my father's artistic talent!" Shanks said righteously to Tsunade.

"Didn't Grandma say that my great-uncle was a painter?" Rope Tree asked, clueless and reckless.

"Bang!" Just as expected!

"Artistic talent isn't just about drawing, you know?" Shanks said, raising his black fist and looking at Rope Tree.

"......Let's call him Hatake Kakashi!" Hatake Sakumo was relieved to have Tsunade's approval.

Shanks rolled his eyes and looked at Minato. "They are just ordinary people. Minato, you must stick to your own ideas."

“(⊙o⊙)…” Minato sensed a killing intent behind him!

Shanks, still unwilling to give up, looked at his best friend and said, "How about we ask Hatake to cover for us?"

.........

143. The Hyuga clan leader still has something to offer: "Please subscribe!"

After the Hyuga clan leader, a century-old otaku, passed away, Shanks became a disliked figure in Konoha. He was despised by many, lost his teaching job, and had nothing to do after picking up Big Mom from school every day. Considering he was still a high-ranking member of Konoha, he went to the Hokage's office and stayed next to Hiruzen Sarutobi. After a while, Hiruzen got annoyed that he couldn't use his crystal ball to "care for" the Konoha girls and kicked him out.

After that, he went to see his best friend, but he only took him once. His best friend complained that he couldn't be around because there were some secrets of Konoha that he couldn't hear, so he kicked him out again.

He then went to look for the Big Sky Cannon, but the Big Sky Cannon wasn't in the Jonin class at all; he didn't know where it had gone!

He went to Konoha Hospital but was kicked out by Tsunade. So for the time being, Shanks just wandered around Konoha aimlessly every day.

Two months later, on the battlefield of the Land of Lightning, Danzo, the Root of Konoha, had recovered. He also heard that the Hyuga clan leader had arrived and was once again smugly preparing to attack the Cloud Ninja in the camp. This time, he carefully reviewed his plan from beginning to end to ensure that everything was foolproof. Then, he secretly discussed the matter with Himaru Sarutobi and the head of his Shimura clan.

After discussion, it was decided that Hiruzen Sarutobi and the head of the Shimura clan would lead 8,000 ninjas to attack from the rear tomorrow, while Danzo would lead the remaining 10,000 ninjas to hold off the Raikage on the front for three days. If they could hold him off for three days and prevent the Raikage from returning to provide reinforcements, then this war would be under Danzo's control.

However, Danzo was unaware that the Cloud Ninja had guessed his plan because of Akabuki, so they had been keeping a close eye on the Konoha camp. The next day, after they discovered that many ninjas had disappeared from the Konoha camp, Akabuki immediately went to report to the Raikage.

"Hmph! As expected of the Second Hokage's disciple, he's got nothing good to say. No wonder I get angry just looking at him, he's always so gloomy!" Raikage sneered.

"Big brother, what should we do? Should we split up and send another group out?" Mabu Jiushi asked.

"No! We'll immediately use all our forces to follow them, block them, and wipe them out. Then we'll turn back and fight Danzo." After saying this, Sack Bag looked at the Raikage.

"...Alright! Notify everyone, set off immediately." The Raikage thought for a moment and agreed to the plan. It didn't matter whether they stayed on this battlefield or not; they could just fight their way back later. If they could wipe out these few thousand Konoha ninja, that would be enough to make Hiruzen Sarutobi feel bad. It would teach him a lesson for looking down on me!

After the entire Cloud Ninja assembled, they hung far behind Sarutobi Hima and the others. The Cloud Ninja's main camp, made of burlap sacks, didn't even bother to create a false impression, and with the Hyuga clan present, creating a false impression was pointless.

Before Danzo and his men even arrived at the Cloud Ninja camp, the Hyuga clan leader said to Danzo, "Lord Danzo, there's not a single person in the Cloud Ninja camp. What's going on?" He had just used his Byakugan to check the Cloud Ninja camp and, finding no one there, thought he must have misjudged the situation. He then had his bodyguards check as well, and indeed, there was no one in sight.

"Hmph! They're definitely hiding and trying to ambush us! What a petty trick!" Danzo, unaware that his plan had been seen through by the burlap sack, scoffed.

"..." Everyone was speechless. "You can't win a head-on confrontation, so why would you resort to ambushes?"

"Heh." Only Orochimaru looked at Danzo, then at the ninjas behind him. There were far fewer ninjas behind him, and Hiruzen Sarutobi and the head of the Shimura clan were nowhere to be seen. The great scientist Orochimaru had a pretty good idea of ​​his plan, but after hearing the words of the Hyuga clan head, he guessed something and gave a cold laugh.

"Let's go! Let's go take a look!" Danzo said, not bothering with Orochimaru.

Upon arriving at the Cloud Ninja camp, they couldn't see a single person. The Hyuga clan leader looked around again but still couldn't find a single Cloud Ninja.

"Not good! Follow me!" Danzo realized that his plan had been exposed when he discovered this strange thing, and he led the ninjas behind him to chase after Sarutobi Hima and the others.

Just as Danzo led his men in pursuit, Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group were fighting—no, they were being slaughtered—by the Cloud Ninja.

How could Sarutobi Hima and the second-rate leader of the Shimura clan possibly be a match for Raikage A? In addition, they were outnumbered, with less than 3,000 of the original 8,000 remaining. Sarutobi Hima was severely injured by the Raikage, and the leader of the Shimura clan was killed by the Raikage with a single finger.

When Danzo and his men arrived, the ground was littered with corpses, and Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other ninjas were still struggling to hold on.

"Damn it! Raikage, I'll make you die today!" Danzo stared at the corpses of his clansmen, his eyes bloodshot, his face flushed as he charged toward the Raikage, not caring whether he could win or not. These were his life's work! The Shimura clan was his root, and now they were all gone, leaving only a few rotten fish and shrimp in the village. The Shimura clan had completely fallen.

Danzo was unaware that not only had the Shimura clan declined, but the Sarutobi clan was in no better shape. After returning, Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious.

"Haha! Danzo, you're far inferior to your teacher, the Second Hokage." The Raikage mocked Danzo as he charged towards him.

"Die! Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

"Haha! Are you tickling me?" The Raikage, his body crackling with lightning, let the wind-style attacks hit him and threw a punch at Danzo!

"boom!"

The rhythm has begun.

"Bang!" Flying!

"Bang!" Flying!

"Bang bang bang!" Flying, flying, flying!

.........

The Hyuga clan leader was dumbfounded. "He's so damn weak!" But was the Raikage powerful or was Danzo too weak? He couldn't even last one round.

"Clan leader, what do we do?" The Hyuga clan leader's bodyguard was also stunned, not expecting the Second Hokage's disciple to be so weak.

"What to do? Let's get started!" The Hyuga clan leader said and rushed towards the Raikage, knowing exactly why he was there.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Hyuga clan leader usually jokes around with Shanks. He is, after all, the head of a prestigious clan and has real skills. After he finished a set of Bagua Palms around the Raikage, the Raikage's lightning release dimmed considerably.

"Oh? The Hyuga clan, indeed impressive! I wonder how they compare to the Hyuga clan head!" The Raikage felt his chakra was somewhat disrupted and looked at the Hyuga clan head.

"Hyuga Sora, the head of the Hyuga clan, here to greet you! I look forward to your guidance!" The Hyuga clan head activated his Byakugan and made a Gentle Fist gesture!

"Haha, a prestigious family is indeed a prestigious family! Even your fight is so refined! Although I hate you, I admire you!" Raikage laughed and then flew into the sky.

The two fought back and forth, but the Raikage's Lightning Release mode was weakened by Hyuga Sora's Eight Trigrams Palm. However, after several dozen rounds, Hyuga Sora couldn't hold on any longer. "Shanks was right, this guy's body is really tough."

Just when Hyuga was about to collapse in the air, Orochimaru released his snakes into the fray!

Hyuga Sora and Orochimaru managed to hold off the Raikage, but the other Konoha and Kumogakure ninja suffered far worse losses, fighting from day to night and night to day. Finally, despite his severe injuries, Hyuga Sora unleashed a full set of Eight Trigrams Palms (108 Palms) on the Raikage, completely shutting down his chakra. The Raikage was also bitten by a snake released by Orochimaru, suffering from its venom. Both sides suffered heavy losses and eventually returned to their respective territories.

144. Snake is indeed venomous. (Please subscribe!)

When news of the battle in the Land of Lightning reached Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to jump up and use his size 37 shoe to imprint Danzo's size 52 face.

Damn it, not only is the Shimura clan finished, but his Sarutobi clan has also been dragged down with them. They really are best buddies; they can't live together but they can suffer together!

"Hahaha! The Hyuga clan leader did a great job! He actually managed to seal the Raikage's Lightning Release mode. Now the Hyuga clan has really made a name for themselves!" Shanks laughed when he heard the news from Sakumo Hatake.

"However, the Hyuga clan leader is also seriously injured!" Hatake Sakumo said with a solemn expression.

"Don't be so serious. The Hyuga clan leader's dream is to make their clan surpass the Uchiha. Now his dream is about to come true, and we should be happy for him. What I, Shanks, admire most is people who fight for their dreams!" Shanks said, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

"..." Every time Shanks acts like this, Sakumo Hatake doesn't know how to play along.
