Konoha Drunkard

"Let me see what else your Senju clan has that you haven't lost yet." Shanks picked up the list and started looking at it.

"Two iron mines in the north of the Land of Fire? Pfft! How many years ago are these? There are still iron mines now?" Shanks was shocked as soon as he saw the first line. Holy crap, Tsunade's family actually owns mines! How rich must the Senju clan have been back then!

“Of course there are, I’ve been there and seen them, but no one has been mining them for many years,” Tsunade said.

"Damn it, you might as well sell the mine that no one's mining. You and Nawaki are the only ones left in the Senju clan. Are you planning to leave it for Nawaki's family to mine?" Shanks said, covering his head.

“Yes, I’ll go talk to Hiashi tomorrow. What about the rest of these jade artifacts?” Tsunade asked.

"Big sister! This isn't the Warring States period anymore. The Hyuga clan doesn't want the iron ore either! Go find the Hokage and ask him to sell it to your cheap Daimyo uncle. You can also take advantage of him while you're at it! Keep the rest of the jade. Shizuka has no family anyway, and the betrothal gifts are all going in one hand and out the other." Shanks said helplessly.

Damn, these days, the only ones who still keep their mines are probably the Senju clan, who are incredibly crazy. The Uchiha clan sold theirs decades ago and are living off the dividends every year until they're sick of it.

"Alright then, I'll go see the Hokage tomorrow! But do you think they need to get engaged before getting married? I remember you and Haruko got engaged first." It's true what they say, a sister is like a mother; even someone as domineering as Tsunade gets a headache over her younger brother's affairs.

Shanks rolled his eyes at her. "Get engaged? I've never seen anyone get engaged when they're getting married in a month. Just get them married next month and that's it. As for those fancy ceremonies of your families, go ask Brother Ichiji. He knows more about them than you do."

"Phew! That's it, finally done! I've been in so much pain these past few days, here's twenty million, I'm going to gamble a few rounds to have some fun!" Tsunade said with a sigh of relief.

"puff!"

People who are rich can't talk big, they just keep talking about 20 million.

"Another twenty million? Where would I get that much money, Haruko-sama? Does my family even have that much money?" Shanks looked at Haruko for help.

"Lingling, go to your father's study and give the sealing scroll containing the gold sand to your sister Tsunade." Haruko-sama rolled her eyes at him, thinking he was so stingy even with his family.

"A bunch of spendthrift women!" Shanks glared angrily at the backs of the two women and Big Mom.

184. What awaited me was a resounding "Please subscribe!"

A month later, the Senju clan was bustling with activity. The last surviving member of the First Hokage was getting married, and all four of Konoha's top leaders were there. Even Danzo, who was so hostile to them, had to come. If he dared not to come, he would be torn to shreds by the people of Konoha.

Today is a junior's wedding, so Shanks certainly doesn't need to be the receptionist; the warm-hearted Minato will take on that role.

"Hey Minato, today's Nawaki's wedding, not yours. Why do you look happier than Nawaki?" Little Cannon said, watching Minato grinning foolishly at the people coming in through the doorway.

"I'm just having fun lifting the rope tree!" Minato laughed.

"By the way! When are you and Kushina planning to get married? You're both almost sixteen." Little Skyrocket asked casually.

However, two ears not far away perked up after hearing what the small rocket said.

"Haha! We might be a few years behind. Shanks-sensei's gift list is quite substantial. I still need to work hard on missions for a few more years!" Minato laughed.

Kushina looked at Minato with a happy expression. She was glad to hear that Minato had plans to get married. Waiting a few more years wouldn't be a problem.

Anyway, they're still young, and they don't want to carry the burden of a family's mission like Nawaki did, getting married at only 17. She could imagine Nawaki being pressured by Tsunade to have children in the future.

"Kakashi, take off your veil! You're so handsome, why do you have to cover it up?" Shanks looked at the three-year-old kid next to his best friend whose face was covered by a black cloth.

"...No!" Little Kadian rolled his dead fish eyes and looked at the frivolous middle-aged man.

"Kids should have some energy. Look, your little wife is staring at you!" Shanks teased, looking at Kurenai Yuhi holding the hand of a little girl with colored contact lenses.

"..." Little Kadian, with his face half-covered, continued with a deadpan expression. "Wasn't it you who tricked my dad into this back then?"

"Kakashi, take your little wife to see the goldfish. This is the adults' main battlefield." Shanks looked at those dead fish eyes and ruffled his white fur.

Sakumo Hatake and Makoto Yuhi gaze silently at the sky.

"Father, I'm going now!" Kadian said to his father in a serious tone. He couldn't wait to leave this place. Every time he was with this frivolous middle-aged man, he was teased.

"Kurenai, why don't you go play with Kakashi too?" Kurenai Yuhi said to her beloved daughter with a smile, but her heart was bleeding. Her precious daughter, whom she hadn't even raised yet, had already been reserved by someone else before she was even born.

"Sakumo, your family's way of educating children is no good. Look at Kakashi, he's only three years old and you've already covered his face. He's not lively like a child at all!" Shanks complained to his best friend as he looked at Kakashi's back.

"He seems to have been like this since he was little, there's nothing I can do about it," his best friend said, watching his son's retreating figure. Although his son was very talented, much stronger than the Hokage's youngest son, Kakashi had a terrible personality and was usually quiet and reserved.

"Could it be that you rarely take him out, so he doesn't have time to make friends or anything?" Yuhi Makoto said, looking at her in-laws.

“I’m in the Anbu during the day and only go home at night. He practices his basics at home during the day, and Lingling sometimes goes to see him.” Hatake Sakumo shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.

"Big brother! Kakashi is only three years old, the age when he should be making friends. I asked Linling to go find him because I was afraid Kakashi would starve to death if he stayed home alone!" Shanks looked up at the sky, thinking how hard it was for Kakashi to grow up.

"Is that so?" Sakumo Hatake asked, looking bewildered.

"Sigh!" Kurenai patted her in-laws' shoulders. The thought of Kurenai marrying an even more upright man made her feel a pang of sadness.

There are advantages and disadvantages to being a straightforward man. The advantage is that at least he is as reliable as his father. The disadvantage is that his daughter will probably be bored to death for the rest of her life!

"How about this? I have plenty of time anyway. When you go to the Anbu during the day, bring Kakashi over and I'll teach him a bit. I can teach him the basics, it's better than him staying home alone." Shanks said, stroking his chin.

Two suspicious eyes looked at him. Would you teach him?

Shanks was annoyed by their suspicious looks. "Hey! What kind of looks are those? I spared my teacher. Look at those family heirs now, aren't they all my students? And Hiashi, look how much of a clan leader he is now."

"..."

The two exchanged a glance without speaking. "That's someone Kame Saburo taught, isn't it? Everyone knows you're just a nominal homeroom teacher; the real work is all done by Kame Saburo!" "Hyuga Hiashi's father died early, so he had no choice but to take over."

"...Okay, that's about right." Hatake Sakumo didn't want to dampen his friend's enthusiasm; at least his son wouldn't go hungry if he stayed with his friend, and he could drink his fill.

"Shinku! Weren't you going to teach those chuunibyou and genin? You might as well bring your daughter along and let the two of them get to know each other better." Shanks raised an eyebrow at Shinku.

"Haha! That's unnecessary. My wife can't live without Hong right now. Besides, we can talk about building a relationship when they start school. They're too young now." He wouldn't dare let this unreliable man raise his precious daughter. If she ended up raising a daughter who could outdrink him, he wouldn't even have time to cry.

Shanks was speechless at the distrust in his eyes. Sure enough, a good buddy is the most reliable.

By the afternoon, almost everyone had arrived. Nawaki's wedding was a grand affair, with many Konoha villagers in attendance. Among them were some elderly people who had left the Senju clan years ago. Seeing the only son of their Senju clan leader getting married, they were moved to tears. The Senju clan finally had a new generation!

"Huh? My dear Danzo, it's not easy to see you! We'll have to have a few drinks tonight." After a series of tedious wedding ceremonies, Shanks finally arrived at his favorite dinner party, commonly known as a drinking contest! Shanks, holding two bottles of sake, approached Hiruzen Sarutobi and smiled at the Root of Konoha.

"No need for drinking! I don't like drinking either. I have things to do, so I'll take my leave first." Danzo looked at Shanks' face and grew increasingly disgusted with it.

"Tch! Look at him, he's getting more and more straightforward as he gets older. No wonder he hasn't been able to win over Konoha's heart all these years!" Shanks said to the three giants of Konoha, watching Danzo's retreating figure.

"..." The three of them gave him a look of surprise, especially Koharu, who had been teased about this for decades.

"Haha! Jiraiya, you're the only one left of the three wolves of Konoha! How do you feel right now?" Shanks looked at Jiraiya, who was sitting next to Tsunade. The guy was drinking and sneaking peeks at Tsunade's chest.

"......"

Jiraiya, hearing Shanks's teasing, looked up at the sky and wept, refusing to drink or even look at his own heart. His former Hokage teacher, with his exclusive equipment, looked down on his low-level research methods. Since Nawaki grew up, he could finally help his underling gain experience. But within a few years, his underling got married and could openly grind monsters, leaving Jiraiya alone to secretly farm in the wilderness.

Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Tsunade, who had swindled him out of all his wealth.

"boom!"

Instead, he was met with a powerful punch.

185. Kakashi is quite popular. "Please subscribe!"

"Sakumo, Kakashi, how are you!" The next day, Haruko was making breakfast for the father and daughter when she saw Sakumo Hatake bringing in little Kakashi.

"morning!"

"Good morning, Aunt Haruko!" Little Kakashi was very polite to people other than Shanks.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Sit down and eat first. Shanks might not get up for a while," Haruko said to the two of them.

"I won't need it. I have other things to do in the Anbu, so I'll be leaving now. I'll leave Kakashi here. Thank you for your help!" Sakumo Hatake said.

"It's no trouble at all. Shanks has plenty of time anyway! You can rest assured leaving it to him." Haruko-sama stroked Karakoram's white fur.

"..." Kasper rolled his dead fish eyes, but I'm still worried.

Shanks: Kids have no right to speak!

......

After Sakumo left, Kaden ate the breakfast that Haruko-sama had made by himself in silence.

"Kakashi, wait here for a bit, Auntie has to go to work at the hospital. Shanks and Linlin will be up soon!" Haruko said to Kakashi after finishing breakfast.

"Okay, Aunt Haruko," Kaden said to Haruko-sama with his dead fish eyes.

"What a good child! I'm off now, sayonara!" Haruko waved to Card and left.

"Huh? Kakashi, have you had breakfast yet?" Not long after, Big Mom got up and asked when she saw Kakashi sitting in the hall in a daze.

"I've eaten, Lingling, don't you have to go to school?" Kadian spoke more to his older sister, who often cooked for him.

"Ah, I'll graduate in six months. I'll be mostly self-studying for the next six months with no classes," the Fourth Emperor's mother said with a smile.

Kadian said "oh" and then began to contemplate life again.

After breakfast, Big Mom went to find Little Rocket's mom to study recipes. Ever since she was flirted with by Little Rocket, Big Mom has spent more time at the Nara residence than she does at school and home combined, leaving Shanks speechless and looking up at the sky. The flirting skills of a smart person are indeed superior.

When the sun was high in the sky, Shanks finally got up. "Good morning, Kakashi! Have you had breakfast yet?"

“It’s almost noon now…” Kadian looked up at the sky, knowing that his father had made a mistake by bringing him here.

"Really? It's not even noon yet! I was thinking of having breakfast and lunch together! You have no idea, there are several big spenders in my family, so I have to be frugal!" Shanks said, then his heart ached again as he remembered the gold sand that Tsunade had taken from his sack.

"...Are you that poor? Don't you get a lot of bounty for completing a mission?" Card asked curiously.

"Whether you're poor or not depends on who you compare yourself to. Compared to most people in the village, you're not poor, but compared to you, the heir of the Hatake clan, you're a complete pauper. So, when you look for a wife, don't go for the kind who's extravagant. Look at Jiraiya, he hasn't even won over a girl yet, and he's already lost all his money. But I don't think Kurenai is that kind of person." Shanks stroked his white hair.

"..." Kasper rolled his dead fish eyes again, and sure enough, he couldn't stop teasing her.

"By the way, Sakumo said you condensed chakra in just one day, is that right?" Shanks said.

"Yes! But Father won't let me continue practicing chakra. He said it's bad for my health!" Kakashi said in a mature manner, though his face was not visible.

"Don't be so serious! You're just a little kid, how can you keep such a long face all the time? Come on, I'll take you to Konoha Park to play with the other kids," Shanks said, pinching his cheek.

"...Can we not go?" Kadian rolled his dead fish eyes again.

"Haha! Little brat has no right to speak!" Shanks laughed and vigorously ruffled his white hair.

"..." Kasper really wanted to grow up quickly so he could fuck him when he was old and vigorously ruffle his red hair.

........

"Yo! Good morning, Lord Shanks!"

"Lord Shanks, is the brat beside you Jiraiya's child?"

As soon as the two of them walked down the streets of Konoha, people would greet Shanks.

"...Haha, this is the brat from the Sakumo family. I had some free time today, so I brought him out to play." Shanks had to stop and explain when faced with the last ninja's question, since he estimated that Jiraiya would also get his head shaved by Konoha's White Fang tonight.

"Oh! Lord Sakumo's child is so grown up! I heard he's a genius!" said the ninja who had just guessed that Kakashi was Jiraiya's son.
