Konoha Drunkard

The three appeared at the border of the Moon Kingdom. "Minato, after learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, was there anything different when you were teleported for the first time?" Shanks asked Minato as they walked.

"A little bit, but teacher, it seems like you're not very accurate at finding spatial link points." Minato said with some envy. If he had that much chakra, he could teleport more than ten times in this time. Right now, he only has enough chakra for three or four short-distance teleports before his legs go weak.

"Haha! Don't worry about the details. My spatial talent is just so-so. It's good enough that I managed to find it even though it took some effort!" Shanks laughed loudly. Damn it, if I had your spatial acuity, I would have been invincible 20 years ago! I wouldn't have needed to wait for my Conqueror's Haki to awaken.

The three of them traveled to Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) for sightseeing. Kushina was the one who did most of the fun, since she had never left Uzushiogakure or Konoha before. She was curious about all the flowers and plants that Konoha had along the way.

"Minato, will you use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take me out more often in the future?" Kushina whispered to her boyfriend.

"Okay! I'll take you out every day after I get familiar with the Flying Thunder God Technique," Minato said seriously.

"...Let's go! Cloud Village is just ahead, stop showing off your love!" Shanks rolled his eyes at the two of them.

As the three arrived at the village entrance, they ran into acquaintances. "Hey, isn't this Lord Shanks? And the young Dionysus? What brings you here to have a drink with our Raikage?" A gatekeeper from Kumogakure greeted Shanks with a smile.

"Ah! I'll wait here. You guys go and inform the old Raikage!" Since they've already given him face, Shanks should give them face in return.

“Why bother reporting it? We’re already so familiar with each other, we can go together! Ah Man, you stay here and keep watch,” the gatekeeper said.

"How could I possibly accept that! Here! It's the sake from the Hatake clan's stash, the one you drank last time, but there's not much left!" Shanks tossed him a bottle of sake he'd swindled from his friend's house!

"Haha! That's great! You don't know, I drank Shuomao's wine last time, and when I came back to drink our village's wine, it tasted worse and worse!" The gatekeeper put the wine away. He was quite responsible and didn't drink during working hours.

"Really? I'll bring you more next time! Anyway, Sakumo doesn't like drinking, so it's a waste to keep it!" Shanks laughed.

Kushina was speechless. Her uncle really had a lot of drinking buddies, and Uncle Sakumo was obviously reluctant to part with her!

The four arrived at the Ray Shadow Studio, and before the "doorman" could even knock, Shanks opened the door in his own way.

"boom!"

"Raikage! Guess who's here! Huh? What's going on? Another meeting? Every time I come, you're in a meeting!" A group of ninjas in the Raikage's office stared at him in bewilderment, wondering who else in the ninja world, besides Konoha's Shanks, would dare to smash the door to the Raikage's office. Turning around, they saw that it was indeed him again.

"Hmph! Who are you? How dare you be so disrespectful? Can't you see we're in a meeting?" It sounded like that clueless old man from over a decade ago.

"Old man! It's you again! How come your eyesight is still so bad after more than ten years? Believe me or not, I'll go to your house and release the Nine-Tails! I've brought the Nine-Tails with me today!" Shanks looked at the old man who had been showing off in front of him more than ten years ago, but now it seemed that he wouldn't live for another year or two.

"You...you are the Red-Haired Shanks of Konoha!" The old man finally remembered his experience from more than ten years ago.

"The old man is quite shrewd!" Shanks gave him a look.

"Haha, that's enough for today. Let's greet the Konoha Red-Haired Shanks first!" The Raikage saw Shanks with Minato and a red-haired little girl. He had mentioned the Nine-Tails, so it was obvious that the little girl was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The three of them must have something to ask him.

"Speak, what do you mean by bringing people all the way to our Cloud Village?" After everyone had left, Raikage didn't beat around the bush.

"Haha! I knew you were the only confidant I have in this ninja world!" Shanks said, trying to impress him before he was rejected.

"Haha! So what is it?" Raikage just loved listening to him brag!

"Here's the thing, Minato wants to develop a brand new ninjutsu and needs to see the Tailed Beast Ball in person to find inspiration. You know that the Nine-Tails is like a king in our Konoha, so asking it isn't realistic. I heard that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in your village gets along well with that octopus, so I'm asking you for help." Shanks took out a bottle of sake from the Hatake clan's stash and tossed it to him.

"Oh? What, this young man is not only good at drinking?" Raikage looked at Minato with some surprise. Although he had met him a few times, what impressed him most was the young man's drinking capacity.

"No way! Minato is Konoha's ultimate genius!" Kushina, fiercely protective of her husband, retorted.

"Oh? Haha! Then tell me, what else is so great about him? You know, your Konoha's super genius used to be your uncle!" The Raikage looked at the red-haired girl and the girl, who were clearly a young couple, and laughed and teased her.

Kushina wasn't intimidated at all by the Raikage. "Of course Minato is strong. He even learned our Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique. He's not some half-baked amateur like Uncle!"

The Raikage was also slightly shocked. He had witnessed Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique, which was far superior to Shanks' half-baked technique used for travel. "Haha! I didn't expect Konoha to have such a genius with spatial talent, and at such a young age, he already has the idea of ​​developing new ninjutsu."

"Of course! But I heard your son is quite good too, already a candidate for Raikage at such a young age." It's all about mutual flattery, you can't just let others flatter you, you have to flatter them back.

"Haha! He's still far from good enough!" Lei Ying said this, but his face didn't show any such expression. He was used to being praised so much that he had developed a resistance to it, but this was the first time someone had praised his son in front of him, and he felt very comfortable.

"So, are your Jinchuriki able to control the giant octopus now?" Shanks asked. She remembered that the Fourth Raikage's brother, what was his name? He was also a perfect Jinchuriki, and the first one who could communicate peacefully with a Tailed Beast.

175. The Fourth Raikage's nephew "Please subscribe"

The Raikage thought for a moment, "Right now... barely, but he's still far from being able to use the Eight-Tails' power."

"It's already very good. You know, my cousin Kurama is such a tsundere, he still doesn't want to cooperate!" Shanks said, looking at Kushina's belly.

“…” Kurama rolled its eyes inside Kushina’s stomach. It was determined to pretend it didn’t hear anything Shanks said!

“Let’s go, I’ll take you there. He and my son are on Turtle Island,” Lei Ying said, leading the way.

Not long after the four of them arrived at the beach and boarded the boat, a giant sea turtle appeared before them! It floated motionless on the surface of the sea.

"Holy crap! Isn't that a Sea King?!" Shanks stared at the giant sea turtle, seriously wondering if he'd been transported to a world where One Piece and Naruto had merged! It's freaking huge!

"Wow, Raikage, is this turtle alive? It's huge!" Kushina and Minato stared wide-eyed at the giant turtle in front of them.

"Haha! I don't know either. I've never seen it move in all these years. Let's go, they're up there." Lei Ying laughed.

Shanks activated his Observation Haki and scanned the entire island, discovering that besides some other creatures, there were only two boys about the same age as Minato.

"Big brother, you idiot! You bastard! When are we going to get out of here? It's so boring! Oh yeah!" A boy said in a strange tone while lying on a tree.

"You idiot! Instead of spending your time spacing out here, you should be training properly and getting familiar with the Eight-Tails' abilities!" The boy under the tree was stimulating his body with lightning release.

"Idiot! Bastard! I'm already trying my best, the bull demon doesn't like being rushed. Yeah!" said the boy in the tree.

This time, the boy under the tree ignored him and continued to use Lightning Release to stimulate his body and begin practicing the Four Penetrating Hands.

"Haha! Old man Lei Ying, these two teenagers are quite interesting! Is that sparkling boy your son? Nephew, come here and call me uncle!" At this moment, a loud, arrogant laugh rang out.

The two looked towards the direction of the sound. The boy's pupils narrowed slightly as he recognized the newcomer: the red-haired Konoha native who often dueled with his old man while drinking. He completely ignored the two boys behind him. All he'd ever heard about were how they'd shattered mountains and sank the terrain in their duels with his old man. Today was the first time he'd seen them in person, and he gave them a terrible review!

His hair looked like it hadn't been combed in years, his beard was unkempt, and he was relatively thin compared to the Cloud Ninja. He wore a loose white shirt and floral shorts, plus a pair of wooden clogs! Is this the man who is said to be the toughest in the ninja world, on par with my old man?

The boy in the tree was rather oblivious; he didn't know who these people were, daring to call the Raikage an old man! But the giant octopus inside his stomach was on TikTok, saying that the bastard who beat him up back then was back again, huh? And that bastard Kurama too.

"Nephew! I'm talking to you!" Shanks, seeing the future Fourth Raikage's bewildered expression, came up to him and waved his hand in front of him!

"Idiot! Bastard! Who are you? When did my brother become your nephew?!" A man carrying seven knives on his back and wearing small sunglasses spoke in a strange tone.

"Idiot! Bastard! Who are you from? I don't know you either! Yeah!" Shanks mimicked his tone.

"Idiot! Bastard! Don't talk to me! Yeah!" the boy in sunglasses shouted angrily.

"Idiot! Bastard! I didn't mimic your speech! Yeah!"

Everyone was speechless!

"boom!"

Kushina covered her face with one hand, feeling incredibly embarrassed! She punched him in the head with the other!

"Uncle, can you be normal for once!"

"Alright! Really, be a little more ladylike in front of outsiders!" Shanks pouted, touching the small bag on his head.

"It's all your fault!" Kushina's red hair stood on end again.

"Haha! This little girl has quite the personality. My son, Yoruzuki Aoi, and his sworn brother, Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!" the Raikage laughed.

"Haha! My nephew is indeed a fine young man. Look how skillfully he's handling Lightning Release! Raikage, your genes are truly powerful!" Shanks patted the future Fourth Raikage on the shoulder like an elder. Yoruichi's brow twitched; so this is what the Konoha Red-Haired Shanks is like...

"Haha! Your Konoha youths are quite impressive!" The Raikage began to learn the basics of mutual flattery.

"Is this rapper dressed like one of the Seven Swordsmen of Mount Everest the father of the giant octopus?" Shanks winked at Killer Bee.

"..." This conversation was going nowhere; I offended someone the moment I opened my mouth.

"I can't hear you, I can't hear you, I can't hear you!" The giant octopus used its two evil tentacles to block its ears and hypnotize itself.

"Hahaha! Even that piece of trash Niugui has met his end! Hahaha! Such a piece of trash actually dared to try and steal my boss!" Kurama laughed loudly, looking up at the sky from Kushina's stomach.

"Hey! Bull Demon! What's wrong with you? Why are you so afraid of him? Oh! Yeah!" Little Sunglasses felt the movement of the giant octopus in his stomach and asked curiously.

"Bye! You don't know how much it hurt when this bastard hit me! Quickly check what this bastard has brought and trick him into leaving!" The giant octopus complained inside the little sunglasses' belly.

"What? You actually got hurt by him? Is he that strong? Wow!" Little Sunglasses exclaimed in surprise.

"Didn't you know? He was able to fight the Raikage to a draw when he was 16!" The giant octopus was somewhat impressed by this eccentric guy.

"Is this redhead really that good? Wow!" the little sunglasses exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey!" The giant octopus didn't want to talk to him.

"Idiot! Bastard! My name is Killer Bee! I'm not the father of the Bull Demon! Yeah!" Although Little Sunglasses knew this guy was awesome, he was absolutely not intimidated.

"Don't get so excited. I came to ask you for a favor!" Shanks patted the man in sunglasses on the shoulder in a friendly manner.

"Need my help?"

The man in sunglasses looked at Shanks with a bewildered expression. "You're already so powerful, why do you need my help with anything?"

Even Ye Yue'ai looked at her old man with a puzzled expression.

"Here's the thing," Shanks said. "Our Konoha's genius boy wants to develop a new ninjutsu and is looking for inspiration from the Tailed Beast Ball. He heard that you're quite familiar with the giant octopus and can use some of its abilities. Moreover, everyone in the ninja world knows that I'm as close as the Raikage. So, he's come to ask you for a favor."

"That's right. By the way, how are things going between you and the Bull Demon?" Raikage asked the man in sunglasses.

"By the way, agree to that bastard's request, and then tell him to leave quickly," the bull demon said impatiently into the little sunglasses' belly. It never wanted to see that bastard again.

176. You just spit out a puddle of saliva and say "Please subscribe"

"So what do I need to do?" the little sunglasses asked the big octopus.

"Concentrate and fully feel my power," the giant octopus said.

Of all the tailed beasts, the Eight-Tails is the best teacher; it taught Little Sunglasses the best.

Not long after, the little man in sunglasses began to turn red, and a surge of chakra belonging to a tailed beast began to boil.

"Step back!" Shanks, seeing the change in the little sunglasses, led Minato and Kushina to retreat, and the Raikage and his son also retreated.

The Raikage and his son watched the little sunglasses nervously. If the little sunglasses could utilize the power of the Eight-Tails, their village's military strength would also be enhanced. And most importantly, they wouldn't have to worry about the Eight-Tails going berserk anymore. For them, the Two-Tails was just a piece of cake.

"boom!"

A gust of sand swept by, and a giant octopus appeared in front of the group. Although the giant octopus was a little flustered, it couldn't admit defeat.

"Red-haired bastard, what do you want me to do! Then get the hell out of here!"

"Ouch! I'm short-tempered, so I won't hit you. You're itching for a beating, aren't you? You haven't had enough of my fists, have you?" Shanks stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to give him a loving punch.

"Damn it! Do you still want my help? If not, I'm going back!" the giant octopus roared in a panic.

The two boys behind the future Fourth Hokage and Shanks were stunned; the Eight-Tails was afraid of him!

"Uncle really is a scourge of the tailed beasts!" Kushina exclaimed.
