Naruto: What should I do if I am not a genius?.

"Taiyi-kun, is the scenery here beautiful?"

Orochimaru suddenly asked.

Standing on the Hokage Rock and looking forward, the buildings in Konoha Village are arranged in an orderly manner, people are coming and going on the streets, and in the distance is the rising sun and the blue sky.

"It's quite beautiful."

Although he didn't know why Orochimaru asked this, Taichi still answered truthfully.

"It is said that the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, stood here and opened their hearts, and eventually established Konoha Village."

Orochimaru's sudden words left Taichi a little confused.

"Taiichi-kun."

Orochimaru suddenly turned to look at Taichi and said very seriously.

"In your eyes, what is a village? What is a Hokage? What is a ninja?"

Orochimaru asked Taichi three questions in a row, which completely confused him.

No, why are you asking me this question? I don't want to be a Hokage. If you want to know the answer to the question, you should ask the Sandaime and Minato. If that doesn't work, you can pull the Shodai and Nidai back from the Pure Land and ask them.

How would I know what a village is, what a village is, and what a ninja is.

Taiyi secretly complained in his heart.

"How would I know this?"

Taichi wanted to just fool him, but Orochimaru wouldn't give in.

"Taiyi-kun, do you want to know why I am so interested in you?"

Orochimaru's words aroused Taichi's interest. After all, Taichi had always wanted to figure out how he, a person with no special skills, could attract Orochimaru.

"Because I feel a sense of separation from you, as if you are not from the same world as us. I have observed you for a long time, and although you try very hard to fit in, you still can't eliminate the incompatibility between you and this world."

"Although I don't know why you are like this, but only people like you can look at problems from a higher perspective, so I will seek answers from you."

Orochimaru's words caused a storm in Taichi's heart. Apart from the Nine-Tails, Orochimaru was the first person to realize that Taichi was incompatible with this world.

But no matter how turbulent his heart was, Taichi did not show the slightest outward expression. Instead, he looked at Orochimaru with a confused expression.

"Lord Orochimaru, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? Are you saying that I am unique?"

Orochimaru stared at Taichi for a long time, which made Taichi wonder if he had revealed a flaw.

"Forget it, just answer my question, Taichi-kun."

Orochimaru suddenly said with a smile, and there was a hint of rejection in his eyes.

"Well, in my opinion, a village is just a gathering place for people. It doesn't matter where the village is built. As long as there are people, there is a village."

Orochimaru listened quietly with an expressionless face, leaving Taichi with no idea what he was thinking and he could only continue speaking.

"The title of Hokage actually means nothing."

"Oh why?"

Taichi's understanding of Hokage made Orochimaru interested. If he had known that even Orochimaru was interested in the position of Hokage, Taichi would have thought that Hokage was meaningless.

"In my opinion, there is no one in this ninja world who can be called a Kage. Only the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was very close to becoming a Kage, but it's a pity that he gave up in the end."

Orochimaru's eyes flickered. He didn't expect that Taichi would even look down on Hashirama Senju.

"Why? The first generation founded Konoha and put an end to the war. Doesn't this count as the Kage?"

"Has the war stopped?"

Taichi glanced at Orochimaru and asked a key question.

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment.

Yes, the first generation did quell the war, but the war did not stop. In fact, the Second Ninja World War broke out immediately after the death of the first generation. It was during this time that Orochimaru lost the first apprentice in his life, which made Orochimaru increasingly indifferent to this rift.

"So what do you think "shadow" is?"

Orochimaru looked at Taichi, hoping to get an answer from him.

"The ninja world only needs one 'Kage'."

Tai said word by word.

When Taichi said this, there was an inexplicable aura about him that frightened Orochimaru.

"Is this what you understand as 'shadow'? No wonder you said the first generation is the closest person."

Yes, Hashirama Senju once had the opportunity to unify the ninja world, but he gave up. If he had persisted, perhaps the ninja world would be different today.

Looking at Taichi in front of him, Orochimaru suddenly had an idea in his mind. Perhaps this young man in front of him could do this and accomplish the feat of unifying the ninja world.

But Orochimaru suddenly shook his head. How could it be possible? This was not the chaotic era of the Warring States Period. It would be a thousand times more difficult to unify the ninja world now than it was back then. How could he have such thoughts about a young boy?

"And what are ninjas?"

"A pathetic bunch of wretches who don't know what they are doing."

Some people say that ninjas are tools, while others say that ninjas are people with special talents.

But this was the first time Orochimaru had heard Taichi make such a completely derogatory statement.

However, Taichi had no intention of explaining to Orochimaru.

"Lord Orochimaru, I have something else to do, so I'll leave now."

Before he finished his words, Taichi used the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared in front of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru had no chance to stop Taichi and could only watch him leave.

After all, he is no longer the little kid who can be manipulated at will.

But Taichi's words today made Orochimaru more interested in Taichi.

Orochimaru had a feeling that what Taichi said today was not complete, especially his understanding of "shadow".

The "shadow" that Taichi mentioned gave Orochimaru a feeling of being a daimyo. If the five major ninja villages became one ninja village, would the ninja world still need a daimyo?

Or perhaps, "影" is actually the daimyo.

"Taiyi-kun, your ideas are really unique and crazy."

Orochimaru licked his lips and paused.

"But it seems very reasonable, but unfortunately it is not perfect."

Taichi had no idea what impact those words had on Orochimaru. He only knew that if he continued talking, he would not be able to make up a story.

As a time traveler, even after watching the entire anime and experiencing it personally, Taichi still cannot empathize with the world of ninja.

Apart from those friends, Taichi could not identify with Konoha or the ninja world. As for protecting the ninja world, it was just because he didn't want the world to be destroyed. Ultimately, it was for his own sake.

After leaving Orochimaru, Taichi went to find Gai and Shikato, and the three of them had a happy day.

The next morning, when Taiyi was about to go for practice, he heard a piece of news on the street that shocked him.

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village officially declared war on the Hidden Rock Village. At the same time, the Hidden Rock Village declared war on the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Sand Village, and Konoha at the same time.

Taiyi's first feeling upon hearing the news was.

Damn! Ohnoki has Alzheimer's?
