Hokage: What Should I Do If I’m Not A Genius?

Kakashi took Taichi to the weapons store to replenish some shurikens and kunai. Taichi also bought a few detonating charms, and the two went to the drugstore to buy soldiers' grain pills and antidote.

On the way, Kakashi also told Taichi some things that should be paid attention to when performing tasks. Finally, Taiyi asked Kakashi to treat him in the name of celebrating his becoming a Genin. Kakashi reluctantly agreed, but since he was about to go on a mission, time was tight. So the two ended up going to Ichiraku Ramen.

As soon as he arrived at Ichiraku Ramen, Uncle Ichiraku saw Taichi wearing a ninja forehead protector and said in surprise: "Taichi, have you become a ninja?"

Taiyi raised his hand and nudged the forehead protector, and said with a proud face: "That's right, from today on I will be a ninja in charge of myself, and I will protect the village from now on!"

The surrounding ramen eaters heard Taichi's heroic words and sent their blessings one after another. Uncle Ichiraku was also very happy and directly announced that he would be the one to buy Kakashi and Taichi's ramen today.

Taichi quickly stopped him: "Hey, uncle doesn't need your treat. Kakashi said he's here to treat us!"

Uncle Ichiraku waved his hand and said: "Don't refuse, let me treat you today, and let him treat Kakashi to the meal later."

Having said this, Taichi could no longer refuse, so he and Kakashi could only thank Uncle Ichiraku.

Kakashi also made a little bear-shaped hand to Taiyi, which expresses an obvious meaning: Look, it’s not that I don’t treat you, someone else did.

Taichi was not annoyed, he just held the ramen and said: "You don't want to invite the cheap ones. When the mission is over, let's go have barbecue. Bring Brother Minato and the two seniors with us!"

Kakashi: "Hey, why didn't I think of this? I might as well treat you now."

The two had a big meal, and after seeing that the time was almost up, they said goodbye to Uncle Ichiraku before setting off to meet at the entrance of the village.

"Kakashi, I'm more curious about why Third Generation would let me, a recent graduate, take part in a mission of this level, hiccup~" Taiyi stroked his full belly and burped comfortably.

"How do I know? Logically speaking, even I am not qualified to participate in a mission of this level. The mission performed by the three Jōnin together is at least an A-level mission." Kakashi put his hands behind his head, taking his time. said.

"According to what Brother Minato said, he specifically asked you to participate in the mission together. He accepted you as his disciple? Why did Third Generation introduce Brother Minato as your teacher?" Taichi asked his doubts. At this time, Minato He shouldn't be Kakashi's teacher.

Kakashi was also confused: "I don't know why Hokage-sama introduced him like that. I just met Minato-senpai today."

"According to my analysis, maybe after this batch of students from the Ninja School graduates, your three-person team may be led by Brother Minato. Now I just want you to adapt in advance."

"What you said is not your reason, but why are you thinking about this? You should first think about how to complete this mission."

…

Konoha Village gate

The Minato team has already gathered here. Because they are all old acquaintances, the three of them have performed many missions together, so they are all familiar with each other.

At this time, Akamichi Dingzao asked: "Minato, this mission is very dangerous. Although these two children are good in strength, they are still too young after all, so there won't be any accidents."

Aburame Zhiwei next to him also nodded in agreement. Although he has seen Taichi's strength and heard about Kakashi, they are two children after all. Kakashi still has some practical experience, but Taichi is a complete rookie. When the time comes, he will appear. Danger and distraction to protect these two people.

"I don't think so. Whether it's Kakashi or Taichi, they will become independent ninjas in the future. Now they just need a little help from us to protect the growth of the next generation. Isn't this what we should do? Wherever the leaves fly, there is fire. Life goes on forever. This is our inheritance." Minato looked at Taichi and Kakashi walking towards this side with a smile.

Hearing Minato's words, Akamichi Dingza and Aburame Shiwei couldn't help but think of the scene when they were young, led by their seniors to perform tasks. Yes, we grew up like this. This is the inheritance of Konoha.

When Taichi and Kakashi saw that Minato's team had been waiting at the gate of Konoha for a long time, they also quickened their pace.

"Brother Minato, you are here so early." Taichi greeted Minato and also nodded slightly to Akamichi Dingza and Aburame. The two have not introduced themselves yet, so even if Taichi knows who these two people are, He could only nod his head.

"We're late, I'm very sorry." Kakashi was not as relaxed as Taichi. After all, the other party was Jōnin, and Kakashi was still very disciplined.

"Now that everyone is here, let's set off. The content of the mission will be explained in detail on the way. Taiyi, you are participating in the mission for the first time. If you have any questions, ask them now. Once you start the mission, you must strictly implement my orders. You Understand?" Minato put away his smile and said seriously.

"I understand! Captain!" Taichi directly changed his name to Minato and used actions to prove that he would obey Minato's orders.

Minato nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go, target Loulan!"

As soon as Minato finished speaking, the five-person team disappeared from the place together.

Sure enough, as Taiyi thought, this mission was really a mission to seal the dragon's veins. Minato's description of the mission was similar to Taiyi's memory.

An Lushan, the prime minister of Loulan Kingdom, created a large number of puppets in an attempt to rule the ninja world through the power of dragon veins. He didn't know where the Third Generation came from, so he sent the Minato team to stop An Lushan's conspiracy. Minato was optimistic about Kakashi. , so I applied to Third Generation to take Kakashi with me on this mission.

Today also happens to be the day for Taiyi's early graduation exam. Third Generation thought that it would be better to take one or two. If Taiyi's strength is good, they would just take Taiyi with them, so there was Third Generation with Minato. Waiting for others to watch the scene of Taiyi's graduation exam.

"That's about it, so do you have any questions?" After Minato explained with a smile, he asked everyone for their opinions.

"Is there any definite information about the puppet and An Lushan?" Akamichi Dingzuo asked.

"No, I just know that An Lushan used a special method to manipulate the dragon vein and used the dragon vein Chakra to create a large number of puppets." Minato shook his head and said.

"So, this mission is indeed difficult. We don't have any information about Loulan."

"Yes, but An Lushan doesn't know that we are going to stop his plan, so this can be considered an advantage."

"Um, can I ask a question?" Taiyi raised his hand and asked cautiously.

Minato smiled and said, "Of course."

"What is dragon vein?" Taiyi asked his doubts.

In the theatrical version, there is no specific explanation of what the dragon vein is. The performance of the dragon vein is only traveling through time and space, and it is used by An Lushan to manipulate puppets, so Taichi wants to know from Minato what the dragon vein is.

"Dragon Vein? In fact, there are very few records about Dragon Vein. Some people say that Dragon Vein is a huge natural energy, and some say that Dragon Vein is the source of Chakra. However, these opinions are just what others say. In my opinion, Dragon Vein is actually a huge energy. Chakra polymer, if I had to find an adjective, I think it would be very similar to a tailed beast," Minato explained.

"Tailed beast?"×4

The four people, including Taiyi, were all surprised. Is Dragon Vein a tailed beast?

"Of course it's not a real tailed beast. I can only say that the dragon vein is very similar to the tailed beast. If the dragon vein is really a tailed beast, Loulan should have used it long ago, and it wouldn't have been sealed for so many years."

Hearing Minato's explanation, the four of them nodded in agreement, but Taichi's mind became more active. If Dragon Vein can really be used, it can make up for his lack of Chakra.

"Any more questions? Taichi." Minato asked.

"there is none left."

"Then let's get on our way."
