Konoha Drunkard

The two giant rockets almost tripped over when they heard Shanks' words as they reached the door, especially after glancing at the people inside and seeing the fat man. The two exchanged a sad look.

"Dad, did you bring enough money today?" Little Cannon asked his dad in a low voice.

"Well, hopefully they can keep track of expenses here." Big Cannon touched his wallet; he didn't even have enough money for the thirty most expensive bottles of wine.

"Thank goodness Minato didn't come today..." Little Skyrocket muttered.

"Hey! Uncle Shika, Shikaku, you guys are here?" Just as the small voice finished speaking, another voice came from behind. Konoha's Wine God, Minato, has arrived!

"Minato, where did you go just now?" The little rocket's expression was even uglier than crying.

"Oh, I just went to the restroom. The teacher said Uncle Lu Yi is treating us to drinks tonight, so she dragged me along!" Minato laughed.

"Go in!" Big Cannon knew he couldn't escape today unless his son stopped flirting with Lingling. But they'd gone this far; if he didn't keep flirting, his son would probably get killed by that bastard!

"Haha! Brother Lu Yi, why are you so late! Come and sit down!" Shanks pulled Lu Yi in after seeing the large and small versions of Skyrocket and Minato.

"Brother Shirai, what happened today? Why are you spending so much? I heard that everything here is the most expensive in all of Konoha. Did your wife give you the money?" Jiraiya asked curiously.

"Well! It's nothing, we just haven't gotten together to catch up in a long time, so we're taking advantage of everyone being in the village to get together!" Big Cannon said, rubbing his forehead.

"Haha! Boss! Bring out the food, bring out all the most expensive dishes! Dinosaur, eat whatever you want! Minato, you can drink whatever you want, don't be shy with me!" Shanks said generously.

The guy with the giant firecracker was standing to the side, covering his forehead and looking up at the sky, thinking, "Does this have to be done?" This meal probably cost him a year's salary.

Everyone thought Shanks was treating them, but this stingy guy would never treat them to something like this; at most, it would be to Akimichi yakiniku.

"Sakumo, what's going on? Why does it feel like Shanks is hosting a dinner party?" Kurenai asked her in-law in a low voice.

People on both sides looked over, for the head of the secret service was the most well-informed.

"Shikaku seduced Lingling, so Shanks plans to swindle back his future dowry first," Hatake Sakumo said.

"puff!"

Jiraiya had a cup of tea still in his mouth when he turned his head to the side and spat it out.

"What? How is Shikaku so amazing? Lingling is only nine years old, right?" Jiraiya looked at the miniature rocket launcher as if he had discovered a new and exotic species.

Aside from Tsunade and Orochimaru, everyone else stared in astonishment at the young man with the skyrocketing cannon. This kid was amazing! He'd managed to quietly win over Konoha's Shanks' precious daughter. While ninjas aren't usually that concerned about age—after all, Shanks won over Haruko at five—it was still quite a sight to see a Chunin flirting with a student who hadn't even graduated yet.

Haruko-sama told Tsunade when she was in the hospital, and she remained incredibly calm, only initially surprised.

Orochimaru quietly observed this group of mortals. To him, there was no difference between men and women; the only difference was between the dead and the living.

"Hey! Jiraiya, be civilized! This is a high-class place, don't spout nonsense! Love has nothing to do with age or height, you've been studying this for so many years and you still don't understand." Shanks looked at Jiraiya with disdain.

Looking at Jiraiya's appearance, Kurenai Yuhi sighed once again for his fallen comrade. It was such a pity. In his opinion, someone with a big head like Jiraiya would have a hard time flirting with Tsunade, let alone any girl from Konoha.

.......

"Shikaku, you brat, I'm coming to see you tomorrow. Tell me how you managed to win over Lingling, and I'll teach you a really powerful ninjutsu!" Jiraiya whispered to Shikaku while they were drinking, his arm around Shikaku's neck.

"...Lord Jiraiya, picking up girls is actually... very simple," said the small-time Jiraiya, shrugging. It really was simple for him.

"Pfft!" A massive, devastating attack from a giant rocket! Jiraiya is dead...

"Very...simple???" Jiraiya's eyes instantly turned into beady pupils.

“Yeah, why don’t you just cater to their preferences?” said the little rocket launcher.

"That's right! How come I didn't think of that!" Jiraiya clapped his hands. "Yeah! Wouldn't catering to her interests be a great way to bridge the gap? What's Tsunade's hobby? Gambling, isn't it? Hmm! Tomorrow I'll go gambling with her every day..."

"I didn't expect the Nara family to be such experts at picking up girls!" Jiraiya said, patting the small-sized rocket on the shoulder.

"To you, everyone in Konoha is a master," Orochimaru suddenly remarked as he approached.

"You bastard Orochimaru! What do you mean by that? You don't have a girlfriend either!" Jiraiya jumped up and retorted after hearing Orochimaru's words.

"Haha! Jiraiya, you don't know, do you? If Orochimaru's daily invitations since school were still going strong, they could fill his room!" Shanks laughed loudly as he watched Jiraiya drink.

"I agree! It's said that ever since Lord Kagami passed away, Orochimaru has been the most popular fantasy figure among women in Konoha!" Kurenai Yuhi gave Jiraiya a serious stab.

"What? How could it be him?" Jiraiya leaned closer and scrutinized Orochimaru for a long time. "No way? Do all the girls in Konoha like this dead snake?" Jiraiya was incredulous.

"It's true! Apparently, a thousand girls voted as representatives, and Orochimaru got nine hundred and sixty-five votes!" said Yuhi Makoto.

"There are still thirty-five votes left, so who else got the votes?" Jiraiya was relieved to hear that it wasn't a unanimous vote.

"Sakumo got seventeen votes, Minato got seventeen votes, and you got one vote." Kurenai Yuhi really knows this stuff.

"Minato, how come you have more votes than me?" Jiraiya looked at his naive disciple.

"Haha! I didn't know." A bead of cold sweat dripped down Minato's forehead. Luckily, Shina wasn't here; otherwise, he would have been the one in trouble.

"Who cast my vote? Could it be..." Jiraiya turned to look at Tsunade, who was drinking.

"boom!"

"Idiot! What are you thinking? How could I possibly give it to you?" Tsunade delivered a powerful punch to his head.

Jiraiya got up and looked at Kurenai Yuhi. "Who threw that at me?"

"This...you're also a librarian...it was given to you!" Kurenai Yuhi didn't finish her sentence, afraid of upsetting Jiraiya.

"puff!"

When Shanks heard "librarian," he suddenly thought of Nawaki's dream girl! Shanks' eyes widened as he stared at Kurenai Yuhi. "Could it be Aunt Misako?"

"Huh? Shanks, how did you know?" Kurenai Yuhi asked in confusion.

"Nonsense! How could I not know? Aunt Misako is Nawaki's dream girl! She even once planned to pursue her..." Shanks hadn't finished speaking when a loud bang rang out.

"boom!"

Tsunade smashed the table with one punch. At this moment, Tsunade was like an angry lioness, ready to kill anyone who provoked her.

Shanks realized he had let something slip, and Rope Tree was in big trouble.

"I'm going to break that brat's three legs!" Tsunade stormed off, opening the door to the private room and heading home.

"Holy crap! This is a huge problem. You guys keep drinking, I have to go back and save Nawaki's life." Shanks said and immediately chased after Tsunade.

The people in the private room were shocked! Although they didn't know who this Aunt Misako was, someone Shanks called "Auntie"... must be at least in their early fifties, right? They never expected Nawaki to like older women!!

169. Thousand Hands' fate is truly unfortunate. (Please subscribe)

The people in the private room came to their senses, looked at each other, and finally all looked at Jiraiya. It's all your fault!

"Hey! What are you guys looking at me for? I don't know anything, okay!" Jiraiya snapped out of his shock. No wonder Nawaki kept staring at the older women when they were in the bathhouse together. Thinking about this, he felt even more like crying. He never expected that the person who voted for him in the end would be an old lady. And to make matters worse, this old lady was also the dream girl of his good teammate Nawaki on the bathhouse rooftop! How could this be so melodramatic!

"Jiraiya, I think you'd better avoid Tsunade for the next month. I reckon you'll really die if you show up in front of her again." After patting Jiraiya on the shoulder, Big Cannon went out to find the owner to change to a private room. With Tsunade's explosive temper, it wouldn't be over in less than a month.

"..." Hatake Sakumo patted Jiraiya on the shoulder and left the private room without saying anything, everything was understood without words.

Everyone came over and patted Jiraiya on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Teacher Jiraiya, take care!" Minato patted Jiraiya on the shoulder and said.

Everyone else went to other private rooms, leaving Jiraiya completely bewildered, the words "Tsunade = killed" constantly flashing through his mind.

"Hey! I said, what business is it of mine if the girl from Rope Tree throws herself at me??" Jiraiya shouted, snapping out of his daze, but no one paid him any attention; he was the only one left in the private room.

Tsunade rushed home in a rage, Shanks's words "Misako is Nawaki's dream girl" echoing in her mind. She was furious. It was bad enough that he was following Jiraiya's bad ways, but the Senju clan was waiting for him to spread the family line. It would be good for him to broaden his horizons.

She was wondering why, after all these years of flirting with Jiraiya, he at least had a target in mind, yet she'd never heard of Nawaki liking anyone. Even the lazy Shikaku, who was a bit younger than him, had managed to get a girl, while her little brother was still hanging around with Jiraiya all day. It wasn't until she heard Shanks's words that she realized this brat actually liked someone even Shanks called "Auntie"!

She couldn't stand it with her fiery temper. How old must someone be who even Shanks calls "Auntie"? She's practically Chiyo-sama! Can she even have children at that age? She swore she'd beat Nawaki to death if she didn't knock his brain out today. Anyway, he's useless anyway.

Shanks caught up with Tsunade only when he reached the Senju clan's territory. Tsunade, enraged, was faster than he could use Shave repeatedly.

"Hey! Hey! Tsunade, calm down! Calm down!" Shanks kept urging her after catching up.

"How can I stay calm? This brat actually likes someone you have to call 'Auntie'! Isn't that the age of Chiyo the old lady? And you knew but didn't tell me!" Tsunade glared angrily at Shanks, blaming him for knowing but not telling her.

"It's not as exaggerated as you think. Aunt Misako is only in her fifties, not at the level of Aunt Chiyo yet. Besides, I've been guiding him slowly. Maybe he can change when he's older!" Shanks said.

"Fifty-something? Isn't a fifty-something old woman ridiculous enough? Get out of my way! I'm not Tsunade if I don't beat him to death today!" Tsunade shoved Shanks aside and rushed into Nawaki's house.

At this moment, Rope Tree was unaware that he had less than thirty seconds left before he was about to have his legs kicked. He was in his room, holding two research encyclopedias in each hand, one more youthful in content, the other... more mature. He looked at them from left to right, finally tossing the youthful book onto the bed, and nodded in satisfaction at the more mature one in his hands. Little did he know that his every move had been observed by his furious older sister.

"You brat! It's one thing to be a lecher, but I never expected you to like older women! If I don't beat you up today, I'll change my surname to yours!" Tsunade said, and punched Nawaki.

"boom!"

Shanks covered his forehead, speechless, as he listened to Tsunade's words. "You believed him anyway, so what's the difference?"

"Ah! Sister, stop hitting me! I was wrong, please stop hitting me! I'll die if you keep hitting me!" Nawaki kept begging for mercy, but it was no use. Tsunade's anger could not be appeased by a few words of pleading.

Ten minutes later, Nawaki was too weak to shout anymore, but Tsunade still didn't listen, looking like she was going to beat Nawaki into a pulp.

"Tsunade, stop fighting! If you keep going, your little brother will really be going to meet your grandparents!" Shanks said helplessly.

"If this brat doesn't change, I'd rather beat him to death. What use is he anyway?" Tsunade got angrier and angrier as she spoke, and threw another punch.

"boom!"

"Uh..." Shanks was speechless after being rebuked. It seemed... he really wasn't very useful. Originally, he had planned to use Nawaki as a breeding pig, but this guy only liked those that were a bit too mature, so he was really useless.

"It can be changed slowly. He's still young, so it can be changed back!" Shanks could only come up with this reason that even he didn't believe.

Tsunade ignored him and continued attacking Nawaki, "Tell me! Do you still like older men?"

"No...no...I don't like it anymore. I like smaller ones now..." Rope Tree said dejectedly.

"boom!"

"Even younger ones won't do! It has to be someone the same age!" Tsunade punched again.

"Little...little...isn't that just...the same age?" Rope Tree said weakly.

"Hmph! You'd better remember what you said today! And! You're not allowed to see Jiraiya again! I'm taking these books and burning them!" Tsunade threw Nawaki onto the bed and took all his research books with her.

After Tsunade left, Shanks looked at Nawaki, who was lying on the bed looking depressed, and sat down next to him, patting him on the shoulder.

"Uncle, you promised you wouldn't tell my sister," Rope Tree complained to Shanks.

"Ahem, ahem! Didn't I just let it slip? Who knew your dream girl was fantasizing about Jiraiya? I got so excited and let it slip," Shanks said, shrugging.

"What! Aunt Misako's fantasy object is Brother Jiraiya?" Nawaki is all better! His spirits have returned. You have to admit, love is truly magical. One second he was half-dead, the next he heard that his dream lover had fallen in love with his best friend! All his wounds are healed! So, love is the most powerful force in the world!

"Take it easy! Reality is often this cruel. Just find a good woman and marry her... ugh! Just marry her! You need to know that the meaning of your life is to continue the Senju clan, not to study these boring things," Shanks said.
