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

Taiyi turned his head mechanically and saw Jiraiya with a gloomy face, white hair flying around, and a creepy aura all over his body. Taiyi felt that Jiraiya seemed to want to eat him, but when Taiyi saw the big bump on Jiraiya's forehead, he couldn't help it and started laughing. "Hahaha..." He laughed and pointed at Jiraiya's forehead. Jiraiya was directly deflated by Taiyi's trick and covered the big bump on his forehead with his hand. Perhaps sensing that Jiraiya was a little embarrassed, Kakashi came out to save the situation. "Are you Master Jiraiya?" Hearing someone asking about his identity, Jiraiya immediately got rid of the awkward atmosphere and began to introduce himself. "Yes, I am one of the famous Sannin in the southeast, northwest, white-haired boy, toad messenger, and a handsome guy who can make crying children shut up instantly, Master Jiraiya!" Jiraiya completed his self-introduction with the background music and weird dance steps that came from nowhere. Taiyi had laughed enough at this time and said lightly. "Peeping Tom~"

"Ah! You little brat! I'm not peeping, I'm just collecting materials for my new work!"

"Peeping Tom~"

Jiraiya grabbed Taichi's collar and yelled at him: "I told you it's not peeping! It's collecting materials!"

"Stealing..."

Kakashi covered Taichi's mouth in time, Kakashi was afraid that Taichi would offend Jiraiya to death.

"Sorry, Master Jiraiya, my friend doesn't know how to talk, please don't bother with him."

Someone gave him a way out, Jiraiya went straight down the slope, loosened Taichi's collar, and straightened his clothes.

Looking at Kakashi, he said: "You look a little familiar, as if I've seen you somewhere, what's your name?"

"Hatake Kakashi, Hatake Sakumo is my father. This is my friend, Yagami Taichi."

Kakashi introduced himself and Taichi at the same time.

"Oh? So it's Sakumo's son. No wonder he looks so familiar. So, what are you two going to do? You're not here to disturb me while I'm collecting materials, are you?"

"No, Master Jiraiya, we just finished a mission and were planning to go to the hot spring house to soak in the hot springs. I didn't expect to run into you."

Kakashi hurriedly explained that this Jiraiya's performance was different from the legend, so it's better not to provoke him.

"Oh, it just so happens that I also want to soak in the hot springs, so let's go together."

Kakashi was stunned. You were just caught peeping, and you still want to soak in the hot springs. Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?

Undecided, Kakashi turned his head to look at Taichi, wanting to seek help, but found that Taichi had rolled his eyes.

Kakashi hurriedly released the hand covering Taichi's mouth, and Taichi took a few deep breaths.

"Huh! I'm alive, Kakashi, are you going to kill me?" The first thing Taichi did when he recovered was to pinch Kakashi's neck in revenge.

"Then why don't you speak? If you don't speak, how do I know you can't breathe!"

"Did you let me speak?! Did you let me speak?!"

Kakashi knew he was in the wrong and didn't resist. Taiyi couldn't really strangle Kakashi to death. After a fight, Taiyi stopped.

"You two have a really good relationship."

Seeing the two fighting, Jiraiya's eyes also showed a look of nostalgia. It turned out that he also had two such friends, but unfortunately one was missing and the other was changing more and more. He didn't know what he would become in the end.

"You treat me."

Taiyi said to Jiraiya and pulled Kakashi towards the hot spring house.

Jiraiya didn't react for a while, but after thinking for a while, he reacted and caught up with the two.

"Why am I treating you?!"

Tai glanced at Jiraiya and said calmly: "You think, what would happen if I shouted 'Peeping Tom is here!'? Or maybe I would paste your portrait all over Konoha's bathhouses with the text 'This person is here!' It's just voyeurism..."

Before Taiyi could finish speaking, Jiraiya covered Taiyi's mouth and said hurriedly:

"I'm afraid of you. If I treat you, I'll treat you, but don't tell anyone what happened today!"

"Haha~ Mr. Jiraiya is really like a tree in the wind, so chic and suave! When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation!"

Jiraiya chuckled: "I guess you have a good sense, let's go. Today's hot spring will be paid for by Jiraiya-sama!"

Kakashi looked at the deceived Jiraiya and secretly gave Taiyi a thumbs up.

Taiyi made an OK gesture.

The three of them entered the hot spring house together. After taking off their clothes, the three of them soaked in the warm spring water.

Taiyi said with satisfaction: "It's so comfortable. Sure enough, the most enjoyable thing is to take a dip in the hot spring after completing the task~"

Kakashi said from the side: "This is your first mission. Don't act as if you have already performed many missions. This is the right thing for me to say."

"Tch~ you can't control it~"

Jiraiya put the wine glass down gently and was about to say something.

A figure suddenly appeared behind Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya-sama, Hokage-sama has something to ask you."

Jiraiya was unhappy at being interrupted, but he had no choice but to do it. After all, his old man wanted to see him, so he had to go.

Turn around and tell Anbu Ninja: "I'll be there soon."

With a "swish", the Anbu ninja disappeared.

Jiraiya stood up and said to Taichi and Kakashi: "You two just hang out for now. I have already paid the money. We will meet again when we have a chance."

Just as he was about to walk out the door, Jiraiya suddenly turned around and said to Taiyi: "That brat named Taiyi, I've already treated you to a treat. Don't threaten me with this matter again."

Taiyi made an OK gesture.

Jiraiya muttered: "Damn you brat."

Then left.

…

On the other side, Minato reported the details of this mission to the Third Generation, and did not hide the memory erasure.

Third Generation also feels that Minato did the right thing and leaving those memories will only affect time.

"What do you think of Taichi and Kakashi?"

Third Generation exhaled smoke and narrowed his eyes as he spoke to Minato.

"Kakashi's ability is beyond doubt. Although he is young, he has rich mission experience, strong execution ability, and some strength beyond his age. Overall, he is a very good ninja."

Faced with Minato's evaluation of Kakashi, Third Generation felt that it was very pertinent. After all, Kakashi was someone Minato already liked. Third Generation wanted to know Minato's evaluation of Taichi Yagami.

"What do you think about Taiyi?"

Minato paused and considered his words: "A bit weird, but not weaker than Kakashi."

"Oh? I didn't expect Taiyi to get such a comment from you, but what does weird mean?"

The Third Generation was a little surprised by Minato's evaluation of Taichi. Whether it was Taichi's performance in the task or Minato's evaluation of Taichi, it far exceeded the Third Generation's expectations for Taichi.

It seems that Taiyi is indeed worth cultivating.

Minato didn't know what to say: "It's just...it's just...the personality is a bit out of character."

Out of character? It doesn't matter. Once the number of missions increases and you see too many life and death situations, you won't be able to escape.

Taichi still doesn’t know how much trouble Minato’s comments will cause him in the future.

"Minato, this mission has been completed very well. You should go and rest early."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"×3

Watching Minato leave, Third Generation squinted his eyes and wondered what he was thinking about.
