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

Taiyi did not go straight to the big rock in a big way, but used the trees in the forest to hide his figure and kept getting closer to the target location.

After a while, Taiyi hid behind a tree and looked at the big rock not far away. The knowledge he learned in the ninja school was not in vain, and he successfully helped Taiyi get closer to the goal. However, Taiyi was a little confused about what to do next.

The hand holding the Short Sword was soaked with sweat, and his heart was beating fast. Taiyi's mouth was a little dry, and Taiyi was shaking uncontrollably when he thought about killing his own kind.

"Hey! Kid, your trembling hands can hardly hold the knife. If this continues, you should go home as soon as possible. The profession of ninja is not suitable for you."

Nine Tails, who had been quiet for several days, suddenly started mocking Taiyi.

Facing Nine Tails' ridicule, Taiyi wanted to fight back, but didn't know how to say it.

This is Taiyi's biggest shortcoming. As an ordinary person in his previous life, Taiyi never killed a chicken. Now that he is allowed to kill someone, he needs to do a lot of mental construction.

Seeing that Taiyi didn't speak, Nine Tails spoke again: "Kid, if you don't take action, that person will find you."

Taiyi also understood that it was not a good thing to keep procrastinating. After taking a few deep breaths, Taiyi's eyes gradually became firm.

After some secret observation, the location of the target was determined.

With a "swish", Taiyi appeared behind the target. Taiyi used the fastest speed in his life and covered the target's mouth with his left hand from behind to prevent him from making any sound.

The knife held in his right hand penetrated the target's neck directly from the right side, and blood spurted out from both sides.

The target began to struggle, and Taiyi turned the Short Sword with all his strength. More blood spurted out and splashed onto Taiyi's face, Taiyi remained expressionless.

After a while, the target stopped struggling. Taiyi slowly pulled out the Short Sword and stabbed it in the heart.

After confirming that the target was dead, he slowly released his hand.

"Kill someone and..."

Nine Tails watched the whole process in Taiyi's body, and was just about to mock him for killing someone so bloody, but before he could finish, Taiyi started to vomit.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"

"Hahaha~ I vomited... Hahaha~ I thought you were so powerful that you made blood splatter everywhere, but you actually vomited..."

Nine Tails laughed so hard that tears almost came out.

"Ugh...standing...talking...no pain in the back...yikes...this is my first kill."

After vomiting until there was nothing more to vomit, Taiyi spoke, but he still couldn't help but retching.

With two "swish" and "swish" sounds, Kakashi and Deer Man arrived at the same time.

Looking at the messy scene, Deerman went directly to the target to confirm again that the target was dead.

Kakashi came to Taiyi and handed Taiyi a kettle. Taiyi took a few sips from the kettle and spat it out with a "wow" sound.

"Spit it out, you'll get used to it."

Kakashi patted Taichi on the back.

Then he took out a handkerchief and a small bottle, poured some unknown liquid into the handkerchief, and began to wipe the Bloodline off Taiyi's body.

"Next time when you assassinate, remember to use kunai, don't use Short Sword, and don't be so rough. Just use kunai to slit the target's throat. Then the blood will spray forward. Be careful and you won't get it. It’s all over my body.”

"okay, I get it."

Kakashi wiped the Bloodline off Taiyi's body, and Taiyi finally recovered.

Deerman handed the shiny Short Sword to Taiyi.

"Although it's a bit rough, knowing how to last a last hit is a good habit."

Taichi took the Short Sword and wanted to laugh but couldn't.

I thought killing was an easy thing, but it turned out that it was indeed an easy thing, but the psychological burden was not that easy.

Seemingly seeing that Taiyi's condition was not very good, Kakashi comforted him:

"Taiyi, I know what your purpose is for taking on the mission this time. Now that you have achieved it, if you want to leave, the two of us will accompany you to leave. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Deer Man also nodded in time. Although Deer Man didn't have Taiyi's big reaction when he killed someone for the first time, he still felt uncomfortable for several days, so he understood Taiyi very well.

Taiyi shook his head and rejected the two's kindness.

"Strike while the iron is hot. Once you experience this kind of thing the first time, it will be normal the second time. Keep going!"

Kakashi and Shikato looked at each other. Since Taichi said so, the two of course would not object.

The three-person team continued to move toward the mountain, with Deer Man using his Byakugan to conduct reconnaissance.

The three of them were very careful. They had already encountered enemies, so they all put their vigilance to the highest level. However, the whole journey up the mountain was calm, and not even the Deer Man's white eyes noticed anything.

This can't help but make the three of them suspicious. Could it be that there are only three Genin in Yubaba Mountain?

How is it possible, but no new enemies have appeared so far, so the three of them can only be more careful and move towards the top of the mountain.

Finally, when they were approaching the top of the mountain, the deer man made a gesture and the three of them stopped.

"Deerman?" Kakashi asked softly.

"Jōnin...two!" Deer Man said with an ugly face the information he saw with his eyes.

Kakashi and Taichi's eyes widened. This news was so shocking. Two Jōnin appeared here at the same time. You must know that apart from the five major ninja villages, there are only a handful of small ninja villages with Jōnin.

This is not good news. Maybe this mission may involve other great ninja villages. Then it is not a B-level mission, but an A-level mission, or even an S-level mission!

Kakashi looked at Deer Man solemnly:

"Are you sure it's two Jōnin?"

The deer man nodded solemnly:

"Judging from the Chakra's reaction, they are indeed Jōnin level, but they seem to be guarding a cave. My Byakugan can't see through the cave."

"The cave that cannot be penetrated by the Byakugan is guarded by two Jōnin. Could this be the spring water that Yubaba said?"

Taichi didn't care about the two Jōnin, but was somewhat interested in the cave that Byakugan couldn't see through.

"It's possible, but two Jōnin are not something we can handle. Besides, we don't know if there are other enemies in the dark, so I suggest retreating."

Kakashi compared the strengths of the enemy and ours and gave suggestions.

Hearing Kakashi's words, Taichi also agreed very much. It was not that he was afraid of these two Jōnin. Taichi, who had just killed someone, now felt that he was fearless!

The next two Jōnin in the semi-golden body mode also have to take a break, mainly because they are worried about the safety of Kakashi and Lu Ren. After all, they don't have the Nine Tails plug-in.

Deer Man thought for a moment, and finally agreed to retreat. Although Deer Man felt that this mission was a bit anticlimactic, the threat of the two Jōnin was too great, and his life was still at stake.

After the three people agreed, they began to retreat quietly, for fear of attracting the attention of the two Jōnin.

"Where are you going? Three little mice?"

A sudden voice sounded, causing Taiyi and the others to break into a cold sweat.
