Konoha Drunkard

"Young man, do you want to rest for a while before continuing? It's been almost a year, and you still haven't broken through the 500 mark. This won't do!" Shanks felt a surge of pleasure as he released his clone and punched Shanks.

"..." Kadian lay on the ground, his dead fish eyes rolling back, not saying a word; speaking would be a waste of energy.

"Father, Kakashi is only four years old and he's already done a great job!" Big Mom defended her little brother.

“Yes, teacher, Kakashi is much stronger than I was when I was four years old,” Minato agreed.

"Tch! He was better at four than you were at four because he had a Kage-level father! Look at his messy taijutsu, ninjutsu, and swordsmanship—he just throws them around haphazardly. I haven't seen him get any better than that. Why not learn Hatake's awesome swordsmanship instead of these flashy taijutsu and ninjutsu?" Shanks said, feigning disdain.

From beginning to end, Kakashi used physical techniques to eliminate the clones, treating the Hatake sword technique as just a way to chop down his friends, using it only occasionally.

Finally, when his legs started to weaken, he unleashed a Fire Release technique to finish the fight... His swordsmanship showed absolutely no resemblance to his father's... but he certainly mastered the Great Fireball Technique. It seems Hatake's swordsmanship will only be useful for cutting down genin from now on...

"Haha! He's still young, he'll change for the better later, but his talent in ninjutsu is also amazing." Minato is the kind of man who always sees the good in others.

"Huh? That's right! I almost forgot, this little guy can unleash the Uchiha's signature ninjutsu at the age of four!" Shanks exclaimed in surprise, looking at Kakashi with his deadpan eyes.

He was only observing Kakashi's fighting style and didn't notice his age. Kakashi's ninjutsu talent couldn't possibly be stronger than his swordsmanship talent, could it? Thinking about the Chidori, Lightning Blade, and the like that he'll develop in the future, Shanks thinks the Hatake swordsmanship is really going to be something else entirely.

"Kakashi, how long have you been learning the Fireball Jutsu?" Shanks stroked his chin, looking at the kneeling Kakashi.

"About a day, I learned it from a ninjutsu scroll." Kakashi thought for a moment while lying on the ground.

"It's over! Your old man is about to cough up blood. You've also misjudged your talent. No wonder your swordsmanship is so weak!" Shanks looked up at the sky.

"Uncle, isn't it great that Kakashi learned it in just one day? Why did Uncle Sakumo cough up blood?" asked the expectant father, Nawaki.

Shanks looked at him with disdain. He was about to become a father, and he was still so brainless. "Isn't that obvious? Everyone in the ninja world knows that the Hatake clan's swordsmanship is powerful. But this Konoha's White Fang, Hatake, hasn't mastered the swordsmanship. He's just learned the ninjutsu in a cookie-cutter way."

"That's good too." The expectant father, Nawaki, still didn't understand.

"Minato, you figured it out, didn't you? Explain it to the soon-to-be father, Nawaki-kun," Shanks said, looking at Minato who was stroking his chin.

"(⊙o⊙) Uh... Teacher means that the Hatake clan doesn't have outstanding chakra reserves by nature, but their swordsmanship talent is very strong. So, the Hatake swordsmanship combined with their talent is very powerful. However, Kakashi's ninjutsu talent is much stronger than his swordsmanship talent. Even if Kakashi learns many powerful ninjutsu in the future, there won't be enough chakra for him to use up." Minato was stunned by the mention of "soon-to-be father".

"So, you see, he's been learning the basics of Hatake swordsmanship for over a year, and it's clearly not good enough. In the end, he instinctively used ninjutsu to end the battle. This shows he lacks confidence in his own swordsmanship, meaning his talent in swordsmanship isn't as strong as his talent in ninjutsu." Shanks was quite saddened for his good friend.

190. The Question of Card Master

In the future, Kakashi will be dragged down by the Sharingan, which consumes a lot of mana. Even if he has many powerful moves, he won't have enough mana to use them.

"Oh! If that's really the case, Uncle Sakumo is going to be spitting blood!" The expectant father, Nawaki, looked at the bruised and swollen Kaden with a mournful expression.

"..." Kakashi finally had the energy to roll his dead fish eyes. Is it my fault that my ninjutsu talent is amazing? Is it my fault that my swordsmanship talent is bad?

"Teacher, is there no way?" Minato asked.

"Well, it seems there's really no way! Chakra is something a person is born with, what can you do? Even if he changed his name to Uzumaki Kakashi, it wouldn't help." Shanks rolled his eyes and said. He didn't have a system, so what could he do?

"Haha! Or Kakashi Senju would be fine too." Kushina laughed heartlessly.

"..." Kadian looked at the two red-haired men speechlessly. Couldn't they just talk properly?

"What should we do then? We can't just become spineless after using a few ninjutsu, can we?" said the expectant father, Nawaki.

"Keep practicing your swordsmanship. Although you won't reach the level of Sakumo who can kill Kage-level opponents, you should be able to kill Jonin without any problem. And with such good ninjutsu talent, even though you have low chakra, you still have a future if you can use swordsmanship to assist your ninjutsu. At least it's better than you ambushing him." Shanks gave the soon-to-be father, Nawaki, a disdainful look. The Seven Star Sword that helped him get tricked back then is now just a decoration; he can hardly use it more than a few times.

"Hey! You're the one who taught me how to use a club to knock someone out!" the soon-to-be father, Rope Tree, shouted.

"Isn't this all for your own good? You didn't inherit your grandfather's incredible chakra, so the Seven Star Sword is just for decoration. You can only rely on the Monkey King to protect you! I hope the child in Shizuka's belly won't be like its father." Shanks continued to sneer.

"..." Kadian looked at the two uncles and nephews speechlessly. Now it's my problem, okay?

"Don't worry, once you've mastered your swordsmanship, you can develop a powerful ninjutsu, just like Minato. After you graduate, I'll have your dad pull some strings and get Minato your mentor to help you develop a powerful ninjutsu to complement your swordsmanship." Shanks still had to comfort his best friend's son.

"Will this work?" Kadian asked doubtfully.

"Of course it can work! When has Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, ever made a mistake? Look at Minato now, his Flying Thunder God Technique combined with the Rasengan is so cool! It's all thanks to me, and has nothing to do with Jiraiya!" Shanks said shamelessly.

Minato's brows twitched as he listened. Luckily, Jiraiya wasn't there, or the two of them would have definitely gotten into a fight. However, with Jiraiya's half-baked Sage Mode, he would only get unilaterally beaten!

"..." Kakashi thought the middle-aged man was unreliable and looked at the reliable Minato.

"Okay! Don't worry, Kakashi, I'll ask the Hokage for it. But you'd better practice your swordsmanship diligently." Minato never disappoints, even if he finds it a little troublesome.

"That's enough chatting, get up and continue. You've rested long enough." Shanks looked at Kakashi.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Before Kakashi could nod, another 500 ordinary clones appeared in the training ground. This time, Kakashi learned from his mistakes and did not waste his stamina as before. Every move was a simple and effective basic attack, and he did not use skills randomly. After an hour of battle, he finally killed all 500 ordinary clones for the first time. He shook his slightly numb hands, and put his short sword back on his back with a sullen look on his face, looking like a lonely master.

"Wow! Not bad! You only failed once and you're already clearing the game. Your combat talent is amazing." Shanks praised, looking at Cardinal who was resting his hands on his knees.

"Wow! Kakashi is amazing!" Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, kindly handed Kakashi a towel and offered him water.

“Yes! He’s only four years old and he’s already so outstanding,” Minato said with a smile.

"To celebrate Kakashi's 500 clones clearing the game, let's all go to the Hatake clan tonight! The Hatake clan is rolling in money!" Shanks said.

"..." Kadian looked at him speechlessly. Didn't he get tired of using this excuse so many times? He clearly had his eye on the wine in his house.

.......

Two months after Kakashi successfully slayed five hundred clones, Hiruzen Sarutobi paced back and forth in the courtyard of the Senju clan's territory, even more nervous than when his son was born.

Today is the day Nawaki is officially promoted from expectant father to father, but he's calmly studying human body art with Jiraiya. Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's tense expression, an outsider might think Hiruzen is about to have a grandson.

It's no wonder Hiruzen Sarutobi is nervous. The Senju clan is the symbol of Konoha. Before, Nawaki wasn't very capable, and the Senju clan relied entirely on Tsunade. Now, the child born from the union of the Senju and Uzumaki bloodlines is about to be born. He doesn't believe that the child's talent could be worse than Nawaki's. Moreover, the woman has that kind of super medical talent. If the child inherits that talent in the future, Konoha will make a fortune even if they raise the child like a pig.

"Nawaki, aren't you worried?" Minato looked at Nawaki curiously. If his child were about to be born, he would be extremely nervous, but this guy was calmly discussing art with his teacher.

"There's nothing to worry about. My older sister said Shizuka has an incredibly strong will to live, so she'll be fine," Nawaki said matter-of-factly.

"Is that so, great scientist?" Shanks asked Orochimaru in a low voice. Orochimaru had asked him for Shizuka's cells more than once, clearly curious about that kind of super medical ability.

It was time for the great scientist and biologist Orochimaru to answer all questions. "That's about it. Her life force is extremely amazing, and she also has the ability to absorb chakra and heal her injuries, so giving birth is not very risky for her! It's a truly amazing ability." After Orochimaru finished speaking, he licked his lips.

"..." Shanks got goosebumps when he saw Orochimaru licking his lips like that. Orochimaru was getting more and more perverted.

A short while later, Tsunade and Haruko came out. Haruko looked at Nawaki and smiled, "It's a little boy, very cute!"

"Hahaha! See! I told you everything would be fine!" Nawaki said smugly to Minato, showing no signs of being a father.

"boom!"

Before Nawaki could gloat for long, Tsunade delivered a powerful punch to his face. She had never seen anyone else give birth before; she was more nervous than him.

"You brat! Go inside and check on Shizuka, what are you smug about here for!"

Shanks was stunned when he heard Haruko's words. It was a boy? Shouldn't Karin's mother have given birth to Karin? But thinking about it, the year didn't seem right. Karin was about the same age as the second male lead. So the one born now wasn't Karin, but the son of some short-lived person. Shanks glanced at the short-lived person who had been knocked to the ground by Tsunade.

191. Let's call him Monkey D. Garp.

"Why isn't the hair red?" As everyone entered the room, Kushina was somewhat annoyed to see that the baby's hair wasn't red.

“What’s so strange about that? Lingling, don’t you think I actually have black hair?” Rope Tree said, looking at her son.

"Red is prettier!" Kushina commented on her aesthetic opinion.

"Kusina, what if your child is blond in the future?" Shanks looked at Kushina curiously, wondering if they would abandon the child if it was blond.

"How could that be! It must be Shanks, if it's not Shanks, then it's not my biological child!" Kushina said.

"..." Everyone almost fell over.

"Minato, it seems you'll have to make Kushina give birth to a red-haired girl in the future, otherwise Kushina will suspect you of cheating!" Jiraiya patted Minato on the shoulder.

"(⊙o⊙)...? Actually... I also think red hair looks good." Feeling the coldness around him, Minato said against his conscience.

"Tch! No ambition! Don't ever mention knowing me when you go out into the world!" Shanks said disdainfully.

"Hahaha! Nawaki, have you thought of a name for the child yet?" Minato chuckled as he tried to change the subject.

"This... Sister, have you thought about it yet?" Rope Tree hadn't thought about the name.

"...Wait, let me find the dictionary first!" Tsunade thought for a moment and pulled a thick dictionary from her chest, making Jiraiya's nose bleed as he looked at it. He wished he could be that dictionary.

"Ugh, you're all such a handful of troublemakers. As for names! Why don't you ask me? I don't care about names." Shanks looked at everyone proudly. When it came to names, they were all nobodies.

"Is it going to be another 50/50 situation, and they can handle it?" Sakumo Hatake said.

"No, that's impossible. '50/50' and 'can protect' are Kakashi's exclusive skills; no one else can use them." Shanks patted Kakashi's white hair.

"..." Kasper looked up at the sky helplessly. "Take it, I have no objection."

"I've got it! How about we call him Fat Tiger?" Tsunade said earnestly, flipping through the dictionary.

"I'm still Nobita! Ordinary! Too ordinary!" Shanks almost spat out his water.

"Oh no!" Everyone shook their heads.

"Then what do you want to call him?" Tsunade told everyone to shake their heads, slammed the dictionary hard on Jiraiya's head, and stared at Shanks.

“How about…Monkey D. Garp? This name was originally intended for my son!” Shanks said after thinking for a while, looking at everyone.

"..." Everyone looked at each other, thinking, "What a weird name! It's a good thing you didn't have a son!"

"It seems pretty good!" As expected, Minato understands him best. He received an approving look from him. Young man, I haven't spoiled you for nothing.

"Kusina, you absolutely must never let Minato name your child again," Nawaki whispered to Kushina.

"No! This name is too strange!" Tsunade said.

"How about we call him Garp? Garp sounds nice," Haruko-sama said with a smile.

In front of her family, Haruko-sama always has more face than Shanks. After Haruko-sama finished speaking, she was met with a chorus of agreement.

"Haha! From now on, your name will be Garp!"

Shanks looked at the baby in the crib and almost burst out laughing when he thought about the baby's name, Garp.

"Uncle, is a name that funny? Is there something wrong with the name?" Nawaki had a bad feeling when he saw Shanks laughing so hard he was almost going crazy.

"No way! Do you know that's a hero's name? I'm just happy for your grandmother that your Senju clan finally has descendants! You should have as many children as possible these next few years!" Shanks made up.

"Yes! Shanks is right, Nawaki, your mission is very important!" Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Nawaki's shoulder with satisfaction. Although he didn't know how talented the boy was yet, no matter what, the Senju clan finally had an heir. In the future, he would have a lot of face to face with his two former presidents after he died. Look, I not only gave you the Seven Star Sword, but I also gave him my old friend. Now I even let him have a bunch of children!

"That's right. If you give me five or six more in the next few years, I won't care about you anymore, you hear me!" Tsunade raised her fist and said domineeringly to Nawaki. If she had so many little nephews, she wouldn't care about Nawaki at all!

"I...I heard it!" Rope Tree looked at the fist and immediately straightened his head, puffed out his chest, pulled in his stomach, and lifted his buttocks, but his heart was filled with tears. Sure enough, he still had to continue to work in the fields and plant trees.

"Hey! Take care of yourself!" Jiraiya patted Nawaki on the shoulder. Seeing Nawaki's situation, he thought it was better not to get married and let him live as carefree as he wanted.

"Let's all go out and let the mother and child rest," said Xiaochun, looking at the sleeping mother and child.
