Konoha Drunkard

"Great scientist, could you please use a more normal way of addressing people next time?!" Shanks stormed into Orochimaru's research institute to confront him.

"Hehe, so the captain is afraid of snakes too," Orochimaru laughed.

"Nonsense, how could I not be afraid when I opened my eyes and saw a snake's head while I was sleeping soundly!" Shanks gulped down several mouthfuls of wine to calm his nerves.

"Hehe, I just had something urgent to discuss with the captain," Orochimaru chuckled.

"Next time, be more reasonable even if you're in a hurry! Okay, what's up?" Shanks grabbed the dead white snake from earlier and tied it into a tight knot.

"Hehe, I heard that the people who fought the captain in the Land of Water a while ago were the Uchiha brothers, who were advisors to Danzo?" Orochimaru laughed.

Yesterday, after Danzo asked him that awful question, he went to inquire with his teacher and learned that Shanks had encountered a powerful ninja with the Mangekyou Sharingan in the Land of Water. The most ridiculous thing was that this powerful ninja was actually Danzo's half-brother. He even wondered if he was living in a family drama; could things really be this absurd?!

"Hahahaha! You actually believe that?" Shanks, seeing that even the great scientist Snake had believed it, covered his stomach and lay on the ground laughing without any regard for his image.

"Oh? Captain, you're just kidding Danzo?" Orochimaru was speechless. How old is he to still be making jokes like this?

"Hahaha! Not entirely. I did run into an Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan, but he was too weak, and I chased him away. The Danzo brothers thing is just nonsense, but I never expected Danzo's father to actually be keeping women outside... As for his eye techniques, that's just bragging. That guy summoned a giant as soon as he saw me; who knows what kind of eye techniques he has?" Shanks laughed. Anyway, Orochimaru would eventually run into Obito, Madara's representative, so giving him a heads-up wouldn't hurt.

"Oh? Someone in the Uchiha clan has actually awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan? Who could it be?" Orochimaru said with great interest.

"I don't know about that. Originally, I thought the most talented Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan was Kagami, but he didn't. It seems that there's no Uchiha with more talent than Kagami now. Although Jasmine is his son, he only inherited his face and brains, not his talent," Shanks said, half-jokingly.

"Could it be that Madara Uchiha is still alive? His body wasn't found back then." Smart people are indeed brilliant; they guessed it right away.

"It's not Madara. Although that person is wearing a strange mask, he can't hide from my Observation Haki. Besides, I grew up listening to his stories. With Madara's arrogant attitude of being able to defeat everything, how could he possibly hide like this? And the difference in strength is too great." Shanks said, stroking his chin with a serious expression.

"Could it be that they are members of the Uchiha clan who didn't die during World War II or World War I?" Orochimaru was also affected by Shanks's demeanor.

"I don't know about that. After all, quite a few Uchiha died on the battlefield or their bodies were never found, especially during World War I. Back then, the Uchiha fought against Iwagakure for almost a year, and too many people died." Shanks said, following Orochimaru's train of thought.

"I never expected that someone from the Uchiha clan could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. I really hope our advisor Danzo can run into him." Orochimaru's eyes flashed with excitement.

He'd been unhappy with Danzo for a long time, ever since the battle in the Land of Lightning. Not only was he weak, but he was always jumping around. Why couldn't he learn from those two minor characters, the "Soy Sauce Guest" and the former "Flower of Konoha," who knew their strength wasn't great and just stayed content as Hokage's assistants? This "Root of Konoha" was always thinking about usurping the throne.

"Haha! I don't think we'll run into him. If those weaklings under him can find any of the brothers in his name, I'll eat shit on live stream!" Shanks couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Danzo being completely fooled by him.

"I'm leaving now if there's nothing else. Kakashi's still waiting for me to beat him up. It's been so long since I've done that!" Shanks laughed for a while before saying goodbye to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru became engrossed in his scientific research again, ignoring Shanks.

When Shanks returned to his residence, Kakashi was already sitting in the room, almost asleep.

"Haha! How about it? I haven't seen your handsome uncle for a month, don't you miss him a lot!" Shanks patted Cardinal's white hair.

"I heard you fought a mysterious powerful figure and destroyed the forests of the Land of Water. Was that person very powerful?" Card gave him a deadpan look and asked.

The news had spread throughout the ninja world. He asked his father who he was, but his father wouldn't tell him. And this unreliable middle-aged man hadn't returned to the village. He'd been itching to see him all this time. Yesterday he heard the middle-aged man had returned, so he rushed over this morning, only to finally see him now.

"He's about the same as the Third Raikage. But he's still not as awesome as me. Let me tell you, I just stood there and let him cut me, and he couldn't even touch me. I gave him one sword and he fell down. Then he tried to cut me again, and I let him cut me again, but he still couldn't touch me. So I punched him in the head." Shanks started bragging. Sure enough, bragging about himself is more satisfying than bragging about others.

"...Could you be more specific?" Kadian was speechless. He wanted details, not some damn "you cut me, I cut you" kind of talk.

"This...it really won't work, it's classified information. You're not even a ninja yet!" Shanks laughed.

"..." Kasper gave another deadpan look; all that questioning today was for nothing.

And so Shanks resumed his days with Kakashi. Kakashi's strength had clearly improved a lot during the time he was being beaten by Shanks, and in two months he was able to clear the level with eight hundred ordinary clones.

.......

In the 41st year of Konoha, in the Senju clan's training ground, a five-year-old boy with white hair, half-covered face and dead fish eyes, calmly watched the thousand people rushing towards him, holding a short sword in his hand and also charging towards the thousand people.

First kill!

Hundred kills!

Three hundred kills!

Five hundred kills!

Eight hundred kills!

The party was wiped out!

Kaden was also panting, his hands supporting his knees; the stamina of the Hatake clan was most evident in him.

"Haha! Red, see? Isn't your future husband amazing?" Shanks laughed at a girl with colored contact lenses next to him as he saw that Kakashi had finally completed his thousand-man kill.

"Mmm! Kakashi is amazing!" Kurenai said shyly.

"Tch! Killing a thousand clones is nothing, I can do that too." Asuma, a scoundrel with a sour cigarette, said sourly. In front of his dream girl, he had to save face.

After a year, Kaka finally achieved his goal of killing a thousand people before starting school, but that's not the point.

The main point is that Asuma, the "Tragedy Brand" cigarette enthusiast, actually has his eye on Kakashi's future wife, Kurenai Yuhi! Although he's been beaten up by Hiruzen Sarutobi countless times for this. She's his right-hand man's daughter-in-law; how could he just flirt with her like that?

Asma, the "Tragedy Brand" cigarette brand, became even more persistent despite his setbacks. Even though he knew that Kurenai Yuhi and Kazuya were engaged, he still relentlessly pursued Kurenai Yuhi. This is truly a cursed relationship.

Our Karthus perfectly inherited his father's weak emotional nature, not taking it seriously and just doing whatever he wanted, showing no temper towards Shanks at all.

"Tch! You're all bragging. Last time you got beaten up by those two little brats, didn't you ask me to help you get revenge?" Rope Tree showed no respect for his underling.

“Brother Rope Tree! Those aren’t little kids, they’re two adults!” Asuma corrected.

“That’s a little kid with the body of an adult,” Rope Tree added.

"Hahaha! Kakashi, congratulations on passing the title of 'Thousand-Man Slayer' bestowed upon you by Shanks of Konoha! Since you have school tomorrow, bring out your family's stash of sake and indulge yourself tonight!" Shanks patted the white-haired guy who had come over and laughed.

"...You drank it all." Kadian glanced at him and said, trying to rip him off again.

"How could that be? There were still good ones when I went last time!" Shanks said, referring to the several boxes that were still there last time.

"...It's been a year since you last went there." Kasper rolled his eyes again.

"Ah! What a pity! Of all the families in Konoha, your family has the best wine collection." Shanks sighed.

“...That’s because my family is small…” Kadian was speechless.

"Alright then, you two can continue your flirtatious chat. We won't bother you any longer." Shanks said, grabbing Asuma's "Tearful" cigarette and leaving with Nawaki, leaving behind a blushing Kurenai and a helpless Kakashi.

"Uncle Shanks, let me go!" Asma cried out, struggling against Shanks's hand.

"I said you're a little brat. This young couple is so sweet. What's wrong with you? Haven't you been beaten enough by your father?" Shanks and Noshu returned to the hall and put down the Asma Cup cigarettes.

“They’re not husband and wife, it’s just an agreement between you adults.” Asma wasn’t intimidated at all.

"What do you mean it's just an agreement between adults? Marriage isn't something we adults can decide, so do you, a little brat, have the final say?" Shanks slapped his dog's head.

"Of course, it's my own marriage, and I get to decide for myself!" Asma said, puffing out his chest.

"So I see that besides Kurenai, there are a lot of girls who like Kakashi. Do you mean that anyone who likes him that much can marry him along with Kurenai?" Shanks thought Asuma was quite interesting when he was young. No wonder he's a descendant of Hiruzen Sarutobi; he had such insights into marriage at such a young age.

"How could that be! How could Kurenai like a talk show monster like Kakashi!" Asuma refused to admit it.

“Okay, let’s analyze this. When you usually chat with Red, have you ever seen her blush or act shy?” Shanks said.

“Of course not, we’re friends, why would we be coy?” Asuma replied without hesitation.

"When you see red, do you ever feel your heart race or your face turn red?" Shanks asked again.

"Well... I think there might be some," Asuma said uncertainly, stroking his chin as he thought for a moment.

"So, you only get a racing heart when you meet someone you like. A racing heart stimulates the adrenal glands, which then secrete a small amount of adrenaline, causing your face to turn red. That's what we mean when we say you blush when you look at someone you like." Shanks rattled off all the terms he knew, convinced he could fool a little kid.

Whether Asuma believed it or not, Nawaki did believe it, judging from his expression of sudden realization.

"So, Asuma-kun, you didn't blush when you saw Kurenai, but you blushed when you saw Kakashi?" Shanks raised an eyebrow at Asuma.

"How could that be? Well... even Hong blushes when she sees strangers!" Asuma tried to argue.

"Oh! Poor kid, face reality. Take advantage of your youth and the chance to turn back. Don't end up like Jiraiya, who couldn't turn back." Shanks patted Asuma on the shoulder.

“My older sister won’t get married, so at least Jiraiya won’t be heartbroken,” Nawaki added, delivering the fatal blow.

"puff!"

Asma died...

After tricking Asuma into giving him his consent, Shanks didn't pay attention to the conversation between the straightforward man from his family and the shy woman with colored contact lenses. Instead, he went to the Hokage's office to deal with Big Mom's matter.

Big Mom graduated almost a year ago, and her mentor is Kurenai Yuhi. However, Big Mom really dislikes doing those D-rank missions, so she has begged her father more than once to let her work as a handyman at Konoha Hospital instead.

With her mother and older sister protecting her at Konoha Hospital, she can skip work anytime to go to Nara's house to research recipes.

Every time Shanks imagines his beloved Big Mom becoming a housewife in the Nara family, he really wants to pull out Madara's 40-meter-long cleaver and chop the little rocket launcher into pieces. But... what can he do when his daughter likes her...?

Shanks has been desperately trying to create babies with Haruko for the past few years, but the success rate of creating babies in Naruto is indeed too low. After all these years, Haruko's belly still hasn't responded at all. The same goes for Nawaki and Shizune. Ever since Garp was born, Tsunade has been tying Nawaki to the Senju clan every day and making him create babies. This kind of life is unimaginable. Shanks estimates that it will be another ten years or so before Karin is born. Nawaki's hellish life will last even longer than his father's.

While their wives weren't pregnant and there was no sign of pregnancy, Little Haru was quite promising; the future Shisui had already taken shape three months prior. This made the former Konoha Flower, Little Haru, so happy she was practically grinning from ear to ear, always smiling at everyone she met. Danzo almost thought his chance had finally arrived.

"boom!"

The familiar sound of a door being broken down rang out.

"Old Hokage, I have something to discuss with you. Oh! Shinku is here too?" Shanks had just entered the Hokage's office when he saw a man with colored contact lenses reporting something to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"I came to see the Hokage because of Linlin!" Kurenai Yuhi looked at Shanks, who was only growing in size but not in thought, and felt a headache coming on. This family was so difficult to deal with.

"What a coincidence. I'm here for Lingling's sake too! You go first, first come, first served." Shanks raised an eyebrow.

“...Go ahead and say it.” Yuhi Mako covered her face. I’ve already said everything, what else is there to say?

"Ahem! Ahem! It's like this, Hokage, you know I only have one precious daughter. Originally, I wanted to send her to school so that she would develop even a tiny bit of interest in ninjas, but it seems that it didn't work. Since she graduated last year, every time she comes back, she begs me to let her go to the hospital. As a great father, my daughter has been begging me for a year now. I think you should understand the difficulties of being a father, right?" Shanks said to Hiruzen Sarutobi while sitting at his desk.

"...Sigh! Just like what Shinku told me earlier, Lingling really isn't very interested in the ninja life!" Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed after taking a few puffs of his cigarette.

"Yes, she seems so distracted even when doing D-rank missions. I'm really worried she'll end up hurting her in the future. So, Hokage, how about we switch Rin to a medical ninja? Her chakra control is pretty good," Yuhi Makoto said helplessly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi initially appointed him as the team leader because he wanted him to take care of Lingling and the two brats from the Uzumaki clan. The other two brats from the Uzumaki clan were fine, but Lingling always seemed distracted. If this continued, he was really afraid that he might kill her during high-level missions, since her father had enemies all over the ninja world.

"So, old Hokage, please help me out. You know how many people love me and how many hate me. If she runs into my friends, that's fine, but if she runs into my enemies, she's doomed." Shanks looked pitifully at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"...Sigh! Fine, let her report to Haruko at the hospital tomorrow. The Hyuga clan kids graduating this year will transfer to Shinku's class." Hiruzen Sarutobi was defeated by Shanks' shamelessness. What does it mean that as many people love you as there are people who hate you? How many people love you? The people who hate you are all over the ninja world, okay?

It seems that one of the Double Flower Red Sticks is missing, and he can only accept his fate, even though he watched Lingling grow up since she was a child, and his friend Xiaochun treats her like a treasure.

"Yes! I'll leave now, Hokage-sama," said Kurenai Yuhi, and walked out of the office.

"Speak, what else is there?" Now only Shanks and Hiruzen Sarutobi remained in the office. Seeing that Shanks still hadn't left, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Shanks had something else to say to him alone.
