Naruto: What should I do if I am 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 antidotes.

On the way, Kakashi also told Taichi some things to pay attention to when performing tasks. Finally, in the name of celebrating his becoming a genin, Taichi asked Kakashi to treat him. Kakashi reluctantly agreed, but since he was about to leave, he The mission was over and time was running out, 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: "Taiichi, have you become a ninja?"

Taiyi raised his hand and nudged his forehead protector, and said with a proud face: "That's right, from today on I will be a ninja in charge of my own role, 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 treat 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 Yile waved his hand and said, "Don't refuse. Let me treat you today. Let Kakashi treat you 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 meant clearly: Look, it’s not that I don’t treat him, 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, and 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 of them had a big meal and saw that the time was almost up. They said goodbye to Uncle Yile before setting off to meet at the entrance of the village.

"Kakashi, I'm more curious about why the third generation would let me, a recent graduate, participate in a mission of this level, hiccup~" Taichi 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. A mission performed by three jounin is at least an A-level mission." Kakashi put his hands behind his head, calmly Said slowly.

"According to what Brother Minato said, he specifically asked you to participate in the mission together. He accepted you as his disciple? Why did the third generation introduce Brother Minato as your teacher?" Taichi asked his doubts. At this time, Minato didn't He should 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'm just letting you get used to it 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, Akimichi Choza asked: "Minato, this mission is not low in risk. Although these two children are good in strength, they are still too young after all, so they won't have any accidents."

Aburame Shiwei next to her also nodded in agreement. Although she had seen Taichi's strength and heard about Kakashi, they were two children after all. Kakashi still had some practical experience, but Taichi was completely You are a rookie, you have to be distracted to protect these two people when danger arises.

"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? Where the leaves are flying , fire is endless. This is our inheritance." Minato smiled and looked at Taichi and Kakashi who were walking this way.

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

When Taichi and Kakashi saw that the Minato 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 while also nodding slightly to Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shimizu. These two people have not introduced themselves yet, so even if Taichi knows who these two people are, , and could only nod.

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

"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 Do 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 the 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 news of the three generations came from, so he sent the Minato team to stop An Lushan's conspiracy, and Minato was optimistic about Kaka. Xi, so he applied to the third generation to take Kakashi with him on this mission.

Today also happened to be the day for Taichi's early graduation exam. The third generation thought that it would be better to bring one or two. If Taichi's strength was good, he would just bring Taichi with him, so the third generation took Minato and others with him. Come and 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.

"Do you have any definite information about the puppet and An Lushan?" Akimichi Dingzuo asked.

"No, I just know that An Lushan used a special method to manipulate the dragon veins 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 to travel through time and space, and it is used by An Lushan to manipulate puppets, so Taiyi wants to know what the dragon vein is from the water gate.

"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 stream of energy. A huge aggregate of chakra, if I had to find an adjective, I think it should be very similar to a tailed beast." Minato explained.

"Tailed beast?" x4

Four people, including Taiyi, were surprised. Is Dragon Vein a tailed beast?

"Of course it's not a real tailed beast. It can only be said 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 wouldn't have sealed it for so many years."

Hearing Minato's explanation, the four of them nodded in agreement, but Taichi's mind became more active. If the dragon vein can really be used, it can very well make up for his lack of chakra.

"Any more questions? Taichi." Minato asked.

"Nothing."

"Then let's get on our way."
