Konoha Drunkard

Some sounds were coming from inside the cave.

"Shamen, you bastards, let me go right now! Or I'll make you regret it!"

"Shukaku, stay obediently inside Bunpuku. We won't harm you," the Second Kazekage advised.

"You bastards, I'll beat the shit out of you, yay, yay!"

Shukaku's resistance grew increasingly fierce.

"Lord Kazekage, this won't do. The One-Tailed Beast's resistance is too fierce; Bunpuku's body won't be able to withstand it," a beautiful young woman with brown hair said through gritted teeth as she applied the seal.

Before he could finish speaking, a Vacuum Jewel shot out of Yiwei's mouth and struck the barrier.

"boom!"

"Quick! Speed ​​up the sealing process at full speed!" the beautiful brown-haired woman shouted immediately.

However, the second vacuum jade has already been prepared.

emission!

"Bang! Bang!" "Crack!"

Some cracks appeared in the barrier.

The ninjas on guard outside the cave also began to tense up!

"It seems the One-Tailed Beast is putting up a fierce fight!" Hearing the situation inside, Shanks decided to take the gamble.

"Sakumo, as soon as I finish shouting, run to the village entrance as fast as you can!" Shanks jumped out before Sakumo Hatake could react.

He pretended to be in a hurry and ran to the cave.

"Kid, you can't come here, go back right now!" The people outside were wary when they saw that an outsider had driven here. Seeing that it was just a kid, they thought he had taken the wrong road and reminded him.

"Ah, I'm here to see Aunt Chiyo. I'm a friend of her son. Her son has been captured by Iwa ninja. Please inform her as soon as possible." Shanks pretended to be very anxious.

"What! The First Hokage's son has been captured by Iwa ninja?" The ninja next to him was shocked! He rushed in to inform the Kazekage and Chiyo.

Chiyo and Shamon, who were rapidly reinforcing the seal inside the cave, saw a ninja rushing in.

"What happened?" Shamen asked.

"Lord Kazekage! Lady Chiyo, your son has been captured by Iwa ninja!" the ninja who entered hurriedly told Chiyo.

"What! How did you know?" Chiyo asked in surprise!

"A child just rushed over to let me know, and he's still outside."

"Let him in, I'll ask him." Chiyo was also a little anxious. This was her and the First Kazekage's only child.

17. Luckily, they weren't thinking straight and were just asking for "flowers" and "favorites".

Shanks followed the ninja into the cave and saw some cracks in the barrier, which must have been caused by the One-Tailed Beast earlier.

Ichio looks like a salted fish now. His lower body has entered Bunfuku's body, while his upper body is outside. I look listless.

As several ninjas were reinforcing the seal, Chiyo, a brown-haired woman, turned around and saw Shanks enter.

"Kid, what's your name? How did my son get captured by the Iwa ninja?" Chiyo asked with some suspicion.

"Ah, Aunt Chiyo. My name is Deidara. This morning, when I was playing in the mud with En (the author gave himself this name, since he's a supporting character, so it was arbitrary), a ninja wearing an Iwa ninja headband rushed over and kidnapped En. Luckily, he only grabbed En and left, so I was able to come and inform you." Shanks pretended to be in a hurry.

Chiyo became even more worried about her son's safety after hearing this.

"Lady Chiyo, don't worry. I'll go back and check on things in the next few days. You wait here until the seal is complete." After saying this, the Second Kazekage, Shamon, led several ninjas back to the village.

Shanks secretly breathed a sigh of relief; with one of the big shots gone, he felt a bit more at ease.

Shanks saw that the One-Tailed Beast still had its shoulders and head sticking out, and he estimated that the seal would be completed in a little while.

"Never mind!" Shanks shouted at the sudden appearance of the giant cat, then immediately fled into the cave. "Hey, big fat cat! Lord Goku told me to tell you that he looks down on this big fat cat. He'll seal it away one day, you might as well just wait to die!"

Before the people in the cave could react, they saw Yiwei, who had been in a relaxed state, suddenly turn red-eyed and begin to struggle violently.

"That bastard Sun Wukong! Ah! Ah! You bastards, I'll kill you all!"

"Tailed Beast Ball!"

A black Tailed Beast Ball shot out from the mouth of the One-Tailed Beast. A Tailed Beast Ball is far more powerful than a Vacuum Ball...

"Boom!" The barrier shattered in response!

"Holy crap, even Shukaku has a trick up his sleeve. The Tailed Beast Ball is so powerful!" Shanks, who had run to the cave entrance, saw that the barrier had been blasted apart by the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Quickly, start the barrier again!" Chiyo shouted angrily. Seeing Shanks escape the cave, she couldn't care less; if the tailed beasts broke free, the village would be doomed.

After Shanks escaped outside, he shouted as he ran, "Lady Chiyo wants you to go in and help! The barrier has broken, and the tailed beasts have gone berserk!"

After shouting, he ignored everyone else and immediately ran down the mountain. When Hatake Sakumo saw Shanks run out, he also immediately ran down the mountain.

Hearing Shanks's shout and hearing the huge explosion inside the cave, the ninjas rushed into the cave.

"Quickly, start the barrier again!" Chiyo shouted to a group of ninjas as they ran into the cave.

But before the group of ninjas could react, the One-Tailed Beast had already escaped from Bunpuku's belly.

A massive sandstorm raged, shouting, "I'm going to kill you all!"

"Vacuum Jade!"

"Boom!"

Another Vacuum Ball was launched at the group of ninjas.

"Escape. Earth flow city wall"

Chiyo's younger brother, Kaizo, arrived at that moment.

...

No matter what commotion they caused, Shanks and Saku Hatake were surrounded by a group of ninjas after they escaped down the mountain.

"It's the same as before, I'll carry the load while you steal the tower!" Shanks said, his entire body enveloped in Armament Haki, his skin becoming noticeably darker, and the sword in his hand was also entangled in Armament Haki.

"Charge!" he shouted, and charged off in one direction.

"One-Sword Style: Three Thousand Worlds"

Shanks unleashed dozens of weak sword energies towards the ninjas in front of him. Several ninjas were killed before they could react, but the shurikens and kunai from the other ninjas also struck Shanks.

"Ding Ding Ding"

The shuriken and kunai flew towards Shanks but failed to pierce his body; instead, they all fell to the ground as if they had pierced steel.

However, Shanks was also in some pain, since his Armament Haki was not yet fully developed, and there were small red spots on the places where he was shot.

"Thunder Dragon Slash" At this moment, Hatake Sakumo also made his move, the most powerful strike of the Hatake sword technique he had learned so far.

Several more ninjas died under his blade, but because Shanks took the damage for him, he was able to move with ease among the group of ninjas thanks to his speed.

"Hurry, the One-Tailed Beast is coming!" Shanks warned Sakumo Hatake as he saw the sandstorm moving down the mountain.

The two immediately rushed towards the village entrance.

"Stop chasing them. We'll settle the score with the Iwa ninja later. Stop the One-Tailed Beast first." Shamon, who had just arrived, immediately gave the order when he saw a group of ninjas still chasing the two children.

.....

Shanks and Hatake ran to the village entrance, killed the two guards, and then went to find the coded message left by Hiruzen Sarutobi. They saw Hiruzen Sarutobi looking towards Sunagakure from the entrance of a small cave above the narrow passage.

"Phew, phew. I'm so damn tired, I'm lucky to be alive," Shanks said, somewhat relieved. Hatake Sakumo was also panting, leaning against the cave wall.

"Yes, you're really lucky. You acted on your own without even reporting the situation to me," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a serious expression.

"There's no other way. Tonight is the last day. When I went into the cave, the tailed beasts were almost sealed. If those Sand Ninja weren't so stupid, our mission would have been meaningless." Shanks shrugged, not refuting Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Sigh, I wonder how many people will die in Sunagakure tonight!" Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed as he watched the explosions and screams that echoed from Sunagakure.

Looking at his hypocritical face, Shanks really wanted to print his size 28 shoe onto his size 25 face.

"Let's leave. I really miss the big bed in Konoha right now," Shanks said.

"Very well, I will report back to the Hokage truthfully on your successful completion of this mission. Because the mission involved tailed beasts, it was rated S-rank. Congratulations, your first two missions in your ninja careers were B-rank and S-rank."

"What, wasn't that counterfeit mission an A-rank mission?" Shanks asked.

"You're overthinking it. That mission was originally a C-rank, but considering that the bandit leader was just an ordinary Jonin, it was reluctantly designated as a B-rank. Judging from your appearance, you can't keep going. Rest for the night and continue your journey tomorrow," Hiruzen Sarutobi said helplessly, seeing the two of them looking like huskies.

After a tense night, Shanks and Sakumo Hatake fell asleep shortly after lying down. With Hiruzen Sarutobi keeping watch, they were safe!

A month later, they returned to Konoha. Shanks and Sakumo Hatake went home, while Hiruzen Sarutobi went to report to the Second Hokage.

News spread throughout the ninja world that two eight-year-old prodigies from the Iwagakure sect had infiltrated Sunagakure and, taking advantage of the tailed beasts' strengthened seal, had used despicable means to provoke them and break the seal, causing immense damage to Sunagakure. The Kazekage of Sunagakure demanded the two boys be handed over and that Sunagakure compensate for the village's losses.

The Second Hokage of Iwagakure said that the Kazekage was out of his mind, and that no village would send two eight-year-old geniuses on such a mission.

For a time, the names Deidara and Iwato from Iwagakure became famous throughout the ninja world. These two geniuses, who were only eight years old, were at least at the level of Special Jonin.

The second Iwakage was frustrated; after his investigation, he confirmed that there were indeed no such people in the village.

"That's from another village. Which bastard is so shameless as to do such a thing?"

Tobirama Senju "......."

While Tobirama Senju found it satisfying to be a cunning schemer in the shadows, he was also annoyed by being called crazy. He thought he might as well give the Iwa ninja another taste of his own medicine.

However, this incident in Sunagakure serves as a reminder to all villages. It's best to keep the Tailed Beasts hidden, or at least have Jinchuriki stationed far from the village center, otherwise, a Tailed Beast rampage is no joke.

Because of the losses suffered by Sunagakure this time, they no longer have the energy to send ninjas to harass the border of the Land of Fire. They're just licking their wounds in isolation.

The next day, Shanks and Sakumo Hatake were summoned to the Hokage Building. This time, Shanks did not allow the Hokage Building's doors to be broken.

"boom"

He flung the door open with a punch. "Second Uncle, I just got back yesterday, can't I rest for a bit?" Shanks complained.

Ignoring Shanks's action of opening the door, Tobirama Senju said, "This time it's not for you to carry out a mission. You did very well in the mission in Sunagakure, so I'm officially promoting you to Chunin. Also, for the time being, you and Hiruzen will take on some missions not far from the village. I'll arrange other things for you later."

After Tobirama Senju finished speaking, he told them to go and collect their Chunin vests. Shanks' idea of ​​wearing a big cloak and showing off in the village was shattered.

"Wow! Shanks, you're a Chunin now!" Tsunade exclaimed curiously when she saw Shanks wearing a Chunin vest after he returned home.

"Tch, just a mere Chunin? You know how many Chunin I wiped out in no time when I was in Sunagakure." Shanks started bragging! Anyway, bragging is risky.

"Hahaha! I heard you really angered Shamon and that old woman Chiyo?" Hashirama Senju asked curiously.
