Konoha Drunkard

After everyone came out, the most important part began. However, it had nothing to do with Shanks, but it was very important to Tsunade. This was her chance to rake in gambling winnings. Tsunade stood at the entrance with her arms crossed, coldly watching one person after another enter. If the gifts weren't big enough, even her teacher, the Hokage, wouldn't give her any face.

"Captain! Today is the day Nawaki gives birth to a baby, and you're just going to walk in empty-handed?" Jiraiya asked as Shanks walked in empty-handed. Shanks had traveled all the way to the Land of Snow to do a mission for this gift.

"Give it to me again? Ask Tsunade if she would dare to accept it. She swindled all the money I made doing business in Iwagakure and the 3 billion gold dust that Salamander gave me. I risked my life for that!" Shanks was on the verge of tears as he spoke.

"Four countries! That's amazing! But... why does she still need to borrow money from me?" Jiraiya stared blankly at Tsunade, who was standing at the door like a gatekeeper. But... since she had already swindled so much money, why would she want to swindle his entire fortune?

“…Idiot!” Snake looked at his friend’s bewildered expression.

"Hey! Jiraiya, I think you should change your target. Even if you manage to seduce her, you won't be able to afford to support her," Shanks advised, patting Jiraiya on the shoulder.

"Yes! Yes!" The people around nodded in agreement with Shanks' words. This was the woman who could make the gambling industry in the Land of Fire soar, and her daily expenditure was greater than that of an entire family.

"Hmph! Am I the kind of person who gives up halfway?" Jiraiya was initially tempted, but after feeling the gazes of those around him and seeing Tsunade's upright character in his mind, his eyes hardened again.

"Ugh! It's tough! You just left the Nexus and you're already trying to kill Baron? You're going to die!" Shanks patted him on the shoulder.

".....What...what do you mean?" Jiraiya asked with his beady eyes.

"Hey! What the teacher means is that Jiraiya-sama, your level isn't high enough yet, you need to level up!" the alt account of Sky Cannon explained to his future father-in-law.

He hadn't expected Jiraiya to be so dim-witted. He'd told Jiraiya to cater to her interests, but Jiraiya went and sponsored Tsunade's gambling! Wasn't that just asking for trouble? Who in the ninja world would dare sponsor Tsunade's gambling? Even powerful clans like the Uchiha and Hyuga wouldn't dare!

"How could that be? I'm a master in this field!" Jiraiya was shocked that someone actually said he wasn't good enough. Wasn't this a slap in the face to him, the human body artist?

"Sigh!" Little Cannon sighed helplessly at his stubborn pride.

"My future son-in-law is right. I admit you're a master when it comes to human body art, but when it comes to flirting... you should listen to a smart person, especially someone as powerful as Tsunade." Shanks touched the barrel of the small rocket launcher, wanting to take it apart and examine how much hair wax it had been using.

"...I tried Shikaku's method last time, and it seems that even smart people aren't necessarily able to succeed in this matter." Jiraiya looked at the small rocket launcher with disdain.

"..." The small-sized rocket looked up at the sky, thinking, "Who told you to pursue this kind of hobby? Tsunade likes medicine too! But considering Jiraiya's brain capacity, he can probably only gamble on it; he's really not good at medicine."

"Then you can play whack-a-mole with her all you want." Shanks rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with this masochist.

People kept bringing gifts under Tsunade's serious gaze. Even the second male lead's father and Jasmine came. However, judging from their appearance, the Uchiha and Hyuga clans were vying for the title of Konoha's number one wealthy clan, showering Tsunade with money. Tsunade looked at the gift lists from the two clans. Although she disliked the Uchiha clan, she decided to let it go for the sake of the gift lists.

After chatting a few pleasant words with the second male lead's father, Tsunade pulled the tragic Hizashi to her side with an air of authority after he left. "Hizashi, go find your brother and exchange these gifts for money, the more the better!"

"Understood, teacher!" A large bead of cold sweat appeared on the back of the teacher's head. Birds of a feather flock together, they're all obsessed with money.

........

After Garp was born, Nawaki still lived in the nightmare of childbirth. Garp was held by Tsunade every day, and he could only see his son when he was hungry.

Just as Shanks was about to continue beating up Cardinal, the Anbu he disliked the most appeared beside him.

"Lord Shanks, the Hokage is so kind!"

"Got it! Got it!" Shanks waved to the Anbu.

"You have the day off today, I'll go see what's wrong with the Hokage," Shanks said to Kakashi before disappearing.

"boom!"

The familiar sound of a door being broken down.

"What's going on with the old Hokage?" Shanks swaggered in.

"I have a mission for you. Zixiao is seriously injured and unconscious. All the Anbu who went to the Land of Water with him are dead. Go to the Land of Water and find out what's going on, but it's best not to let anyone know that you're from Konoha," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a solemn expression.

This time, he sent Zixiao and more than ten Jonin-level ANBU to the Land of Water to find out what had happened there, why they didn't participate in World War II, and whether their closed-door policy was a conspiracy. Unexpectedly, less than a month later, only Zixiao was seriously injured and fell into a coma after returning to the border.

"The Land of Water? Isn't it closed off from the world now?" Shanks roughly knew the reason. Madara must have killed Shokuta first and then controlled the current Three-Tails Jinchuriki, the Mizukage.

Zixiao and his group probably either encountered the Third Mizukage who was being controlled or Madara. If they encountered Madara and managed to come back alive, then Zixiao is quite capable. Don't underestimate an old man like Madara; Madara's Susanoo is still pretty awesome.

"No problem, I also want to see what's going on with the Eater's Maze. It's such a coward that it didn't even dare to sign up for World War II." Shanks said dismissively.

He hadn't expected to run into Madara so soon. As for the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, the Mizukage... that giant turtle was just a bit tough on the shell; Madara wouldn't dare use the Three-Tails against him.

After leaving the Hokage's office, Shanks joined the Mitarai clan. Although it's called a clan, its size is actually similar to the Hatake clan, with only two people each. However, the two brothers are able to develop their own clan. The eldest brother is Mitarai Shishou, the vice-captain of the Anbu, who is quite strong, with the strength of a near-Kage. The second brother is Mitarai Shio, who is Anko's future father. His abilities are just average; he is an ordinary Jonin.

"Lord Shanks? What brings you here?" Shanks had just arrived at the gate of the Mitarai clan when his second brother, Mitarai Shio, saw him.

"Ah! I heard Zixiao was injured, so I came to check on her. How badly is she hurt?" Shanks said to the second brother.

"His injuries have healed a lot, but he hasn't woken up yet due to excessive blood loss," the second brother said dejectedly as he welcomed Shanks into the house.

"It's good that he's doing well. Go to the Nara family later and get some more deer blood to feed him, and put it on my tab!" Whether it works or not, it's free and I can show off. He'll settle his debts in Nara after the Four Emperors' Big Mom marries him.

"Lord Shanks, you've gone to great lengths!" the second brother said.

"Well! It's nothing. I'll be going now. The Hokage asked me to investigate who could have beaten him like that." After saying this, Shanks left the Mitarai clan and prepared to head to the Land of Water. He couldn't wait to give Madara a surprise. You see, his Perfect Sage Mode had been prepared for Madara for many years.

.......

Just as Shanks left Konoha, in an underground entertainment venue in the Land of Water, the elderly Madara stared at the two black and white objects before him.

"Lord Madara, now that you've controlled the Three-Tails Jinchuriki to kill the people of Konoha, they might send more people over," Black Zetsu said in a somber voice.

"Just kill anyone who comes. There aren't many in Konoha who can stand against the Three-Tails Jinchuriki. It's a pity that a rat got away." Madara said in his usual arrogant tone.

"..." Black Zetsu didn't want to speak. When he discovered that the people from Konoha had infiltrated Kirigakure, he tried his best to persuade Madara not to act impulsively. However, as soon as Madara heard that they were from Konoha, he was like a man possessed. The invincible Uchiha Dragon Overlord Madara was back. He controlled the Three-Tails Jinchuriki and went to catch the Konoha Anbu and unleashed a combo of bursts of energy. As a result, the overlord was escaped by one of the Anbu members.

"Lord Madara, my clone sent word that the red-haired man from Konoha has left the Land of Fire and may be coming soon," White Zetsu said.

"Haha! That's perfect, let him go down and keep his good-for-nothing father company!" Madara seemed to have returned to his old self. He didn't take the current top ninjas of the ninja world seriously at all; in his heart, there was only his one true love, confidant, best friend, and long-haired, black-haired Hashirama Senju! Madara was that deeply devoted to his love.

Looking at Madara Uchiha's arrogant appearance, Black Zetsu really wanted to awaken his power and give Madara a set of Divine Void Strike to wake him up. He's so old and still acting so arrogant!

Now he just hopes that the Konoha Shanks is really weak and doesn't exhaust Madara Uchiha's life force, otherwise, if the main character is gone, even he, the best director, won't be able to continue filming!

193. Idol! I've come to see you! (Please subscribe!)

Since Shanks entered the Land of Water, he has been using Observation Haki continuously. He originally just wanted to try his luck and see if he could find Madara's underground location. Madara is currently controlling the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, so it shouldn't be too far away.

As it turned out, he actually found the place where Madara lived in seclusion under a forest. Sitting in front of the two black and white objects was his former idol, Uchiha Ryuu Aoten Madara.

"Uncle Madara! My idol! I've come to see you! Come out and let me know your name!" Shanks' voice was mixed with Observation Haki, and he was sure that his idol, Uncle Madara, could hear him.

Sure enough, the old man with closed eyes in the underground club opened his eyes and looked up at the ceiling. "That red-haired brat is really asking for trouble. He didn't even go looking for him, but he came looking for him first!"

"Lord Madara, why don't we send the Mizukage to deal with him?" Black Zetsu said, clinging to his last glimmer of hope.

"Hmph! No need, I want to see just how good the current ninja world's strongest are!" Uchiha Ryuu Aotian Madara is back.

After finishing his sentence, Madara disappeared into the underground entertainment club and soon reappeared in front of Shanks, looking at him with kingly disdain.

"Uncle Madara! My idol! I've finally found you! You have no idea how hard I've searched for you all these years!" Shanks looked at the ghost in front of him who looked exactly like the one in the anime, and thought, "Who else could it be but Uncle Madara?"

"..." Old Man Ban stared blankly at the red-haired, disheveled ghost crying his heart out... He'd completely forgotten all the lines he'd prepared. Who knew this kid was such a fan of memory!

"You know me?" After holding it in for a long time, Grandpa Ban finally managed to utter these words.

"Of course I know you! Who in the entire ninja world doesn't know you, Uchiha Long Aotian Madara! I grew up listening to your stories! Your unparalleled strength and invincible spirit have captivated countless young men and women, and I am one of them!" Shanks looked at Madara with the devotion of a loyal fan.

Leaving aside Madara, even the two black and white figures in the distance were completely bewildered. The scene wasn't what they expected. Shouldn't Madara have started a massive battle and shattered the world as soon as he appeared? How did it turn into a fan meeting? Madara, you were so eager to beat this fan to a pulp back then!

"My idol, Madara! What happened to you? Where did my idol who used to be able to defeat everything go?" Shanks didn't give Madara a chance to speak and continued to fire his guns at him.

"..." Old Man Madara looked ashamed after Shanks' words. He had thought Shanks was there to fight, but he didn't expect Shanks to be his fan. He hadn't even put on makeup and had come to see him looking like this.

The two objects in the distance, one black and one white, stared in disbelief, while Madara Uchiha, the arrogant and powerful ruler, even wore a look of guilt! What's wrong with this world!

"Shanks... what do you think of this world?" After much deliberation, Madara decided to promote his dream of world peace to his fans, hoping to win this particular fan over to his side.

"Hmm... This world is pretty good. Look at the beautiful scenery, and the people are nice and speak nicely. I love it!" Shanks said after pretending to think for a while.

"Hmph! Don't you think this world is beyond saving? There are wars everywhere, completely different from what Hashirama and I imagined! Only I can save this world and make it truly peaceful! No more fighting, no more families being torn apart, and people living together in peace!" As Madara spoke, he opened his arms, closed his eyes, and looked up at a 45-degree angle, looking like the king of the world.

"Wow! An idol is an idol! Even your dreams are so lofty. After listening to your words today, my soul, which was full of filth, has been cleansed. My entire soul has been elevated! In the face of your great dream, I am so insignificant!" Shanks looked at Madara with admiration!

Grandpa Ban looked at his fans with satisfaction, stretched out his hands, and asked, "So, would you like to come and help me achieve this dream?"

"Uh!...Idol! I, a mere human, may not be able to fulfill such a grand dream as yours. I've come to see you today simply to fulfill a childhood dream, to meet you, and perhaps get your autograph!" Shanks looked at him with adoration.

"Hmph! Are you playing me?" Grandpa Ban finally realized that this bastard had been talking nonsense from the beginning, spouting nonsensical things!

"Hahaha! Madara is still Madara! How did you find out so quickly! Sigh! Time really is a pig feed. The ninja world's savior of yesteryear has become this half-dead state. It seems that Aunt Chiyo made the right choice back then!" Shanks laughed loudly. Teasing Madara is not something everyone dares to do, but he, the Four Emperors Red-Haired Shanks, did it, and he can brag about it again in the future.

"You bastard! Die!" Madara's anger erupted. For so many years, no one had dared to play tricks on him. The last one to do so was his lifelong love, Hashirama Senju! This brat actually dared to play tricks on him!

Ban-daren went straight for the big move, without bothering with any prelude.

A gigantic blue giant appeared before Shanks, wielding a blue, forty-meter-long sword that slashed at him.

"when!"

The blue, forty-meter-long sword seemed to encounter solid metal, and was bounced back. The surrounding trees were snapped by the attack's airflow, but Shanks remained firmly rooted to the ground.

"Ah! Madara is really getting old! I didn't feel a thing when that knife came down! I'm so disappointed! Madara, where did your unparalleled strength go?" Shanks, his body gleaming black with Armament Haki, looked disappointed.

"Bastard! Die!"

Grandpa Ban was so angry that his face turned purple, and he swung his knife at him again.

"when!"

The sound of blacksmithing, as melodious as that of the noble purple-gold aristocracy, echoed as the surrounding earth cracked open, revealing deep, bottomless fissures.

"Hey! Uncle Madara, your swordsmanship is no good! I have a sword here for you to teach me! It is called Drywood, five feet seven inches long and two inches wide! It was forged by the Warring States period sword-making master Uchiha in a one-against-five battle. It was later owned by Uchiha Tajima. After he died together with Senju Butsuma, his whereabouts became unknown. In the end, I bought it from him in the Land of Iron for a high price of two dollars."

"You bastard! Die!" Old Man Ban was furious, his blood boiling. This bastard had toyed with him and now dared to flirt with his father. He swung his sword at Shanks again.

Shanks didn't get a chance to use Madara's greatsword, so he just closed his eyes and showed off first.

"Clang!" Another clang, like the sound of gold and gold being struck, rang out, and the surrounding earth continued to crack, but Shanks remained as steady as a rock.

At this moment, Shanks opened his eyes and put on a serious expression.

"The One-Sword Style: The Heaven-Opening Technique - The slash that Tobirama Senju used to cut down Izuna Uchiha!"

After Shanks shouted nonsense, he unleashed a sword aura hundreds of meters long that charged towards Madara's blue giant!

"boom!"

The giant was struck down and fell to the ground! A huge sword wound was cleaved through his body, and the surrounding forest was in ruins.
