Konoha Drunkard

"But I really can't find one!" Rope Tree suddenly became weak again. Being with someone you don't like is worse than letting him die.

"Ah! The Senju clan is truly plagued by misfortune!" Shanks sighed. He had painstakingly saved this promising young member, only to have Kishimoto, the Great Emperor, distort his work. What use was his efforts then?

170. It turns out it was my fault. (Please subscribe)

A month after Tsunade beat up Nawaki, Jiraiya was finally able to go out and have some fun. For the past month, he had been hiding from Tsunade like a mouse, and he never went to any place where Tsunade was.

One month later,

"Yo! Tsunade, going gambling again?" Jiraiya appeared in front of Tsunade in what he thought was a very cool way.

"boom!"

"Get out of my way! I don't have time for you right now!" Tsunade punched him against the wall and swaggered off towards Sarutobi Casino.

When Jiraiya emerged from the wall, Tsunade had already entered the casino.

"Go for it! ↖(^ω^)↗ Only by catering to their preferences can we go further!" Jiraiya encouraged himself and then followed Tsunade into the casino.

"Hey! Come quick! The big fat sheep is here again today!" a gambler said to what seemed to be his friend.

"Really? Where is she? Last time she came, I won hundreds of thousands. I wish she would come every time!" said the gambler's friend.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up, can't you see that table is almost full?" The gambler said, pulling his friend over.

Jiraiya looked in the direction they were heading, and sure enough! The table was surrounded by people. Needless to say, Jiraiya knew who the big fat sheep was. How many times had he and Orochimaru lost their mission bounties to her?

"I'll bet big!"

After Tsunade's spirited voice rang out.

"Small! I'll buy small!"

"Small!"

"Small!"

The gamblers around were betting on small numbers.

"Place your bets! Two, two, four! Small eight!" The dealer was also sweating profusely. Every time this big fat customer came, not only did she lose more, but the casino lost even more. In short, whoever was her dealer was unlucky!

Tsunade, holding a bottle of sake in one hand, remained unmoved despite losing money. She calmly took a sip of her sake, then pushed the last million on her table and said, "One million for big! I refuse to believe that every hand will end in small!"

"I'll buy the smaller one!"

"I'll keep buying small!"

"small"

"......"

Jiraiya watched in stunned silence. He'd seen it countless times before, and was always amazed by Tsunade's gambling luck and extravagance! Looking at the money he'd brought—all for happiness!—he gritted his teeth.

"I'll bet big!" That was a bold and confident statement!

quiet!.....

The gamblers and dealers around him stared wide-eyed at Jiraiya, as if he were a fool.

"What are you looking at? Open it now!"

Tsunade acted as if she hadn't seen Jiraiya, urging the dealer on.

"Uh-oh! Place your bets now! Open! One, four, one! Six o'clock!"

"Damn it!" Tsunade slammed her hand on the table, preparing to get up and leave.

"Tsunade, do you want to continue? You were just unlucky last time. I believe you can win next time!" Jiraiya saw his chance and said to Tsunade with a sincere expression.

"Can't you see I've lost all my games? Come back tomorrow!" Tsunade said to Jiraiya.

"I have it all here, take it all! I believe you can win!" Jiraiya said to Tsunade with a sincere expression.

Tsunade, suppressing her nausea, took Jiraiya's money, turned around, sat down, and placed her bet with clean, efficient, and seamless movements!

........

Three minutes later, Tsunade and Jiraiya appeared outside the casino. Jiraiya's heart was bleeding, but seeing Tsunade's dejected appearance, he pretended not to care and said sincerely, "Tsunade, it's okay! I believe you can win tomorrow!"

"Really? Well, I'm broke now." Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with a dejected and pitiful expression.

Seeing Tsunade's expression, Jiraiya barely suppressed the urge to pull her into his arms. But a fire burned fiercely within him; the clever man's suggestion was indeed reliable!

"It's alright! I have money, I'll bring it to you tomorrow!" Jiraiya patted his chest with an air of magnanimity!

"Really? Thank you then. I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow at this time and place. See you then!" Tsunade was completely different from her earlier dejected self. After saying that, she turned and walked away with a flourish, leaving Jiraiya, with his beady eyes, standing there in the cold wind.

"Idiot, do you really think I can't hear what you and that lazybones are saying? A few million isn't even enough for me to play a couple of rounds! You have the nerve to try and pick me up with that little bit of money!" Tsunade, who had walked to the corner, gave Jiraiya, who was standing in the cold wind, a disdainful look.

Within the Senju clan, Haruko went to work, Big Mom went to school, and Shanks was fast asleep alone in his house.

"boom!"

The door was smashed open in Shanks' style.

"Uncle! Get up!" Kushina rushed in and dragged Shanks out of bed.

"What's wrong now? Why aren't you and Minato all lovey-dovey at a time like this? Why are you looking for me?" Shanks said.

"Didn't you say you'd teach Minato the Flying Thunder God Technique once he became a Jonin? Minato was promoted to Jonin last week, hurry up and teach him the Flying Thunder God Technique!" Kushina said.

Shanks rubbed his forehead. Damn it, are all women biased towards outsiders? Big Mom is like that, and so is Kushina. They're not even married yet, and they're already trying to push their stuff out of the house!

Shanks took out his training notes on the Flying Thunder God Technique and Tobirama Senju's original manuscript from the drawer and threw them to Kushina. "These are my training notes and the Second Hokage's notes. You can give them to him. I don't need to teach his spatial talent step by step."

"That's it?" Kushina stared wide-eyed at the two scrolls.

"You can do that? Those with spatial talent can easily learn this ninjutsu by reading my notes and the Second Hokage's notes. Those without talent will never learn it even if they read it their whole lives. Go, go!" Shanks pushed Kushina out the door.

"Tch! If you want to slack off, just say so. You said the same thing when I asked you to take Minato as your disciple!" Kushina pouted from outside the door.

"...Go on, your Minato-kun is getting impatient!" Shanks looked up at the sky helplessly. "No teacher in the Naruto world ever ends well. Understand? Girl, I still want to live a few more decades."

Shanks had just seen Kushina off when an even more domineering woman appeared, saying, "Lend me 20 million! I'll pay you back tomorrow."

"Twenty...twenty...millions?" Shanks was so shocked his mouth agape. As expected, his domineering aura was overflowing. Before, he'd only ask for hundreds of thousands or millions, but now he was talking about tens of millions!

"Big sister, I didn't earn this little bit of wealth from Salamander and Red Nose with great difficulty, can you please take it easy! It's almost gone!" Shanks looked up at the sky, "Hashirama Senju! Come and take your granddaughter away!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Consider this my advance payment of part of the remaining dowry!" Tsunade said, arms crossed in a queenly manner.

"Big sister! You lost all your dowry ten years ago!" Shanks said, clutching his chest.

"boom!"

"Hurry up! Stop talking nonsense, I know you still have money! This is the last time!" Tsunade said, punching Daimon in the face.

"I thought it was the Senju clan that had committed sins, but it turns out it was me who committed sins. Why are you all such juniors!" Shanks said, pulling out his treasure chest from under the bed and throwing the money he had earned from selling the Onoki series in Iwagakure to Tsunade.

"You see, this is the last of the money, there's no more!" Shanks, still not convinced, opened his treasure chest and showed Tsunade how empty it was.

"Alright, enough of this, a grown man acting all fussy!" Tsunade took the money and turned away with a flourish.

171. My Danzo Brother: "Please Subscribe"

"Hello, Vice Principal!"

"Hello, Vice Principal!"

As a ray of morning sunlight shone on the entire Hidden Leaf Village, Shanks, unusually early in the morning, went to lie down under the big tree at the school, mainly to avoid Tsunade.

In just one month, Tsunade swindled all of Jiraiya's money. And it wasn't enough that the domineering Tsunade had already swindled Jiraiya's money; every time she lost, she would blast open Shanks's door, drag him off the bed, and ask for loans in the millions. Every day, he watched as the gold he had swindled from Salai dwindled little by little, and his lifeblood was slowly draining away.

"Good morning, Lord Shanks! Here's your sake!" His loyal lackey, Kamezaburo, came running over to deliver the sake again.

"Ah, put it on the table. Oh right, what were you going to talk to me about yesterday? I've been so worried about Tsunade lately, I forgot." Shanks picked up the sake, opened the cap, and took a big gulp.

"Oh, it's like this. My former teammate who died had a younger brother who was promoted to Chunin last month. As you know, Shanks-sama, it's too dangerous for us ordinary ninjas with less talent to go on missions, so I persuaded him to become a teacher at the Ninja Academy. However, since the school is already full, I'd like to ask Shanks-sama for a favor and have him be my assistant class teacher." Kame Saburo looked at Shanks expectantly.

"The reason is this? It's a small matter. Just have him submit an application to me, and I'll get the Hokage to sign it." He thought it was something big. It's just using connections, and getting a lowly Chunin into the academy is a piece of cake.

"Thank you for your help!" Kame Saburo said with delight.

"What's with all the trouble? You're one of my people, so if I don't protect you, who will? It's a pity you have some talent... otherwise, I could easily make you a Jonin." Shanks raised an eyebrow smugly.

"Haha! Forget about being a Jonin, I think being a teacher at a school is pretty good too!" Kame Saburo was inwardly crying. Could he please not say that he wasn't talented? Who would want to be a teacher if they could be a Jonin?

"Then keep trying! Maybe you can train a genius someday. By the way, what's your teammate's brother's name?" Shanks said, trying to comfort him.

“Oh! His name is Unno Rokuro!” Kame Saburo said.

"puff!"

Shanks spat out a mouthful of strong liquor, looked at Kamezaburo, and asked, "Umino?"

"Yes, what's wrong, Lord Shanks?" Kame Saburo asked, puzzled, seeing how big he was.

"Well, it's nothing." Shanks shook his head and said. The savior's guide was also named Umino something. Could this Umino Rokuro be his unlucky old man?

"Have him give me the application later, I'll take it to the Hokage for his signature, you can go ahead and get busy," Shanks said to Kamezaburo.

"Yes, sir Shanks." After saying that, Kamezaburo rushed off to inform his deceased teammate's younger brother.

.......

"Lord Shanks, thank you so much!" Rokuro Unno bowed at a ninety-degree angle and handed the application to Shanks with both hands.

"Well! No need to be so polite. Your brother is also a hero who sacrificed himself for the village. We Konoha will not let the families of heroes down. Starting tomorrow, you will be Kamezaburo's assistant homeroom teacher. In a few years, when you have more experience, you can take charge of a class." Shanks said as he took the application form and personal information and flipped through it.

Name: Umino Rokuro, Ninja ID: 008888, graduated from Konoha in 33, completed 255 D-rank missions and 68 C-rank missions, promoted to Chunin in 38.

Shanks looked at the profile; graduation, missions, leveling up—everything was ordinary, but that ninja number was incredibly impressive. Meanwhile, the number of the Yonko Shanks was so common: 000213...

"Alright, you and Kamezaburo go and get acquainted. I'm going to see the Hokage." Shanks said, closing his eyes.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Shanks!" Rokuro Unno bowed ninety degrees again.

←↓→↑←↓→↓→!

"boom!"

"Old Hokage, sign this. I've poached a talent from the education field for the school... Huh? Isn't this my brother Danzo?! Long time no see, I've missed you terribly... Ugh! I've missed you to death!" Shanks burst into the office. Besides Hiruzen Sarutobi, there was also his long-lost brother Danzo!

"Hmph! Always so irresponsible. This is the Hokage's office, what kind of noise is this?" Danzo felt disgusted when he heard Shanks address him and remembered how Shanks had spread the story of him being beaten throughout Konoha.
