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

Chapter 435: Rescue Direction, Confirmed Missing

"What do you mean by that?"

Satomi asked, frowning.

"Don't be hostile to me. If we talk about first come first served, you all have to line up behind me."

Feeling the vague hostility from the crowd, Kyuubi said calmly.

Being inside Taichi's body, Kyuubi knows Taichi's physical condition better than anyone else.

Due to the vitality provided by various cells, the decaying power of the Co-killing Gray Bone was suppressed, and a temporary balance was reached between the two.

But such a balance is meaningless. It can only ensure that Taiyi will not turn into a pile of ashes, but it cannot restore Taiyi to its original state.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Kyuubi meant.

Kyuubi didn't explain and continued.

"Although I don't understand science, I know the Otsutsuki clan better than you do."

"So, what should we do?"

Yi asked.

He still trusts Jiuweiyi. If it weren't for Jiuwei's command, Taiyi might not have survived until now.

"There are two ways for ordinary people to become members of the Otsutsuki clan."

"One is to take the scientific route, just like what you are doing now, using the cells of the descendants of the Otsutsuki to change your physique."

"But this method is difficult, has too much uncertainty, and takes a lot of time."

"What about the second one?"

Rimi asked impatiently.

"The second is to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Kyuubi said calmly.

"Become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Satomi said with a frown.

"The Ten-Tails no longer exists. Even if there is still a Ten-Tails, Taichi can't become a Jinchūriki in his current physical condition."

Kyuubi shook his head and spoke.

"The Ten Tails was just separated. As long as we gather the chakra of the nine tailed beasts and the Outer Path Demon Statue, we can recreate the Ten Tails."

"But whether it is capturing the tailed beast or obtaining the Outer Path Demon Statue, it is not an easy task. It is even more difficult than creating an Otsutsuki cell."

Li Yuantao said helplessly.

"uncertain."

Scorpion, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked at Scorpion at the same time, and Scorpion spoke calmly.

"Kurama said that we only need the chakra of the nine tailed beasts. We have all of them except the two-tailed beast. As for the Outer Path Demon Statue, we also know its location. At worst, we can mobilize all of our forces. The person who beat Taichi into this state should not be having an easy time now. This is a good opportunity."

"Well, let's capture the Two-Tail and the Outer Path Golem at the same time!"

Rimi spoke immediately.

"Wait a minute, we also have the Outer Path Golem, but only a part of it."

Yi suddenly spoke.

"Is it enough?"

Ichi turned and looked at Kyuubi.

"I don't know. Maybe it's enough to be a container for the tailed beast's chakra. I don't know. It depends on you."

Kyuubi groaned.

"How come we have an Outer Path Golem?"

Satomi asked confused.

"It's a finger that Taiyi cut off. It's in Er's hand. They should be on their way back."

One explained.

"Then let's put the Outer Path Demon Statue aside for now, but the Two-Tails' chakra becomes a top priority."

Rimi still had a frown on her face.

Unlike the Eight-Tails, the Two-Tails now has no human sacrifice. After being sealed by the Hidden Cloud Village, it has been under strict surveillance.

If you want to obtain the chakra of the Two-Tails, you have to face the entire Hidden Cloud Village. But now is a good opportunity. The Third World War is in full swing. Most of the ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village are fighting outside, and the internal defense must be empty, so the chance of succeeding is very high.

But facing a ninja village requires careful planning.

"give it to me."

Scorpion suddenly spoke.

"No! The Third Raikage is not easy to deal with, especially to restrain a puppeteer like you. You are not the best choice."

Rimi refused outright.

"Let me go, my speed..."

Ichi was about to speak but Rimi interrupted him.

"You can't either. Your legs need treatment."

"No one can face a ninja village alone. This time we will all go out!"

"What about Taichi?"

Natsuka asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Taichi's body is in a balanced state now. As long as the nutrient solution and Kaguya's descendant cells continue to flow, Taichi will be fine."

Kyuubi spoke.

"That's good."

Hearing this, Xia Zhihua finally felt relieved and fainted on the ground.

"Summer Flowers!"

Li Yuantao helped Xia Zhihua up and found that she had just fainted, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kurosawa-senpai, Nagamitsu-senpai, Natsunohana and Ichi are now in your care. Please heal them as quickly as possible, please!"

Rimi said to the two of them solemnly.

"Don't worry, deputy leader!" x2

"Next, everyone, get ready. Once Natsunohana and Yi recover from their injuries, we'll set off!"

"Yes!" x5

Looking at Rimi and others, Kyuubi smiled with relief and said to himself.

It seems you have some good friends.

Half a day later, Er, San, and Si rushed back exhausted. After learning that Taiyi's condition was stable, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

After the Outer Path Demon's finger was taken out, it was directly taken over by the laboratory to carry out the tailed beast chakra fusion experiment.

……

On the other side, the Konoha camp.

"Taiyi, how is your recovery going?"

Shinnosuke walked into Taichi's tent, but found that Taichi was not there.

"Where has this kid gone again?"

Shinnosuke didn't care and thought that Taichi had just gone out to relax again, so he returned to his tent and started to handle official business.

Although the attack of Kumogakure was temporarily halted due to the surprise attack of Kirigakure on Kumogakure Village, giving Konoha a chance to catch its breath, the war did not stop, and there was still a large amount of intelligence that needed to be processed by Shinnosuke every day.

The sun sets little by little, and it is evening.

"Shinnosuke-senpai, have you seen Taichi?"

Minato asked as he walked into the tent.

"No, he wasn't there when I went to see him this morning. Hasn't he come back yet?"

Shinnosuke put down the documents in his hand and found that Minato's face was not looking good.

"No, I've been looking for him for a whole day. I've searched all the places he liked to stay in during this period, but I couldn't find any trace of him."

Minato looked solemn.

Shinnosuke suddenly had a bad feeling, could it be Kumogakure? But why was there no sign of a fight? And with Flying Thunder God in hand, who could stop Taichi if he wanted to run?

"Don't worry, maybe Taiyi just ran a little far. I'll send someone to look for him immediately."

This was not only a comfort to Minato, but also a comfort to himself.

"Okay, I'll go too."

Minato spoke.

"Okay, please be safe."

Shinnosuke pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Shh!"

After getting Shinnosuke's consent, Minato directly used Flying Thunder God and disappeared.

"Somebody come!"

Shinnosuke shouted after Minato left.

"Master Shinnosuke!"

"Dispatch the third, sixth, and eleventh intelligence teams to search for Yagami Taichi!"

"Yes!"

Taiyi, you must stay alive.

Shinnosuke clenched his fists tightly.

Thanks to Shinnosuke's intervention, Taichi's disappearance did not cause any waves in the Konoha camp.

After all, Taiyi is also considered a hero on the battlefield. If his subordinates knew about Taiyi's disappearance, it would inevitably cause people to be uneasy.

However, as time went by, the news of Taiyi's disappearance could no longer be hidden for long.

Two days later, the battlefield where Taichi fought Uchiha Madara.

After two days, Minato finally found a clue from the traces left by Taichi and finally tracked him here. This was all thanks to Minato's talent for time and space, otherwise it would have taken a lot of time to make any progress.

"..."

Minato stood at the edge of the battlefield, looking at the battlefield that looked like it had been ravaged by a natural disaster, and was so shocked that he was speechless.

The forest within a radius of dozens of kilometers was razed to the ground, the ground of the entire battlefield was cut down by three or four meters, and there was a pit dozens of meters deep.

Even when the Nine-Tailed Fox went berserk, it didn't cause such great damage.

Minato said in shock.

However, this was not what shocked Minato the most. What made Minato feel uneasy was the flattened mountain and the ravine that was several kilometers long.

"Taiyi, what kind of enemy did you encounter..."

Minato looked at the familiar knife marks on the ground and clenched his fists.

It flattened the mountain peaks and carved out ravines several kilometers long.

What kind of battle could be so destructive?

However, Minato still held on to a glimmer of hope and kept shuttling around the battlefield trying to find useful clues.

Unfortunately, all traces that would expose his identity were cleaned up by White Zetsu, and Minato gained nothing.

"Taiyi..."

Minato's eyes became moist.

The worst happened.

Taichi might be... gone.

"Crash..."

It suddenly started raining from the clear sky, and the drizzle fell on Minato, with the rain dripping down his cheeks.

Minato just stood in the rain, letting the rain wet his clothes. Feelings of self-blame and guilt made Minato feel like his heart was being cut by a knife.

Just then, a bright light appeared in Minato's peripheral vision.

Minato turned his head and saw a piece of snow-white sword.

Minato flashed in front of the sword, cleared away the rubble, and revealed the full appearance of the sword.

It was the Kusanagi sword - Ryugumo, which was dropped by Taichi when he was hit by Gongsha Huigu. It fell into the rubble and was buried. Later, because White Zetsu paid more attention to the traces left by Uchiha Madara and the Outer Path Demon Statue when cleaning up the battlefield, it was fortunately missed.

"It's Taichi's sword..."

The moment he saw Liu Yun, Minato was struck by lightning.

If Minato still had a glimmer of hope in his heart just now, now he was completely disheartened.

The sword that Taiyi always carried with him was left here, which was enough to prove that Taiyi was in great danger.

Minato couldn't calm down for a long time. He stood in front of Liuyun for a long time until the drizzle stopped. Finally, he brought Liuyun back to the Konoha camp.

……

"what?!"

After seeing Liuyun, Shinnosuke slammed the table and stood up, unable to believe what he heard.

"It is very likely that Taiyi was killed in battle."

Minato's tone was filled with pain.

"thump"

Shinnosuke fell back into his chair, his face full of disbelief, which gradually turned into sadness, and then turned into anger.

"Who did this?!"

Minato pondered for a moment, then stated his own inference.

"I'm not sure, but judging from the traces of battle, it should be a tailed beast."

"It's Kumogakure!!!"

Shinnosuke's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he thought of Killer Bee in just a moment.

"It's just speculation at the moment. We don't have..."

"You still need evidence for something like this?! Based on the battlefield traces you described, who else but the tailed beasts could have caused such massive destruction! Even if the First Hokage was resurrected, it wouldn't be possible!"

Shinnosuke determined that the murderer was Killer Bee and interrupted Minato excitedly.

Minato also fell silent.

In fact, Minato was also convinced in his heart that the murderer was the Hidden Cloud Village.

After all, there are differences between the tailed beasts. Minato really couldn't imagine who else could do such large-scale destruction except the Nine-Tails and the Eight-Tails.

"I'm sorry, Minato, my attitude..."

After venting, Shinnosuke said somewhat dejectedly.

"It's okay. I understand."

Minato could understand the sadness in Shinnosuke's heart, so he naturally didn't care about Shinnosuke's attitude.

"Leave me alone for a while."

Shinnosuke said weakly.

Minato nodded slightly and quietly left the tent, leaving Shinnosuke alone.

"I'm sorry... it's my incompetence as a teacher..."

After Minato left, Shinnosuke lowered his head and muttered to himself, his tone full of self-blame and guilt.

Especially when thinking back on the time he spent with Taichi, Junichiro, and Shisui, the guilt and sadness in his heart were hard to suppress.

"Yunyin..."

There was a sound of gnashing teeth in the tent.

After a long time, the rustling sound of writing was heard in the tent. Taiyi's news could not be kept secret forever, and some people must be notified.

Soon after, several signal eagles left the Konoha camp and flew in three directions.

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

When the Sandai saw the news from Shinnosuke, he was silent for a long time and finally let out a sigh.

"Ugh……"

He then wrote a reply, rejecting Shinnosuke's proposal to launch an attack on Kumogakure.

As Shinnosuke's first disciple and also his most promising disciple, the Third Generation fully understood Shinnosuke's grief and hatred after Taiichi's death.

However, Konoha is now fighting on four fronts and is already overloaded. If it takes the initiative to attack at this time, Konoha will simply not be able to afford the cost of failure.

"I hope you can understand me, Shinnosuke..."

The third generation stood at the window, overlooking the no longer bustling Konoha Village, and murmured.

At the same time, our "cute" scapegoat was laughing wildly in the dark underground base.

"Hahahaha... I'm so happy today, I'm taking a day off!"

The Root members in the base looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

When did the roots ever have a holiday?

What's wrong with Lord Danzo now?

On the other side, the battlefield of the Rain Country.

Orochimaru also received the message from Shinnosuke.

"Is it because you are not tolerant enough after all..."

Throwing the secret letter aside, Orochimaru continued to handle his official business.

"Strange? Why do I feel so cold?"
