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

"Kakashi, did you hear someone calling Taichi's name?"

On the streets of Konoha, Kai was suddenly stunned. He couldn't believe his ears and asked Kakashi tentatively.

"I heard it. It was Shisui's voice."

Kakashi nodded solemnly.

Then the two of them looked at each other, activated the teleportation technique and disappeared from the spot.

"It's Shisui's voice!"

"Shh!"

The deer man disappeared.

"Senior Deerman?"

Neji and Hinata stood on the busy street, feeling a little at a loss.

"Sakumo, listen..."

Dahechuan's body trembled slightly.

"Go and see."

Sakumo said decisively.

At the same time, Shinnosuke and Junichiro, Fujimi and Yuko all arrived at the same time.

Taichi looked at Shisui's red eyes and wanted to reveal his identity directly, but he suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

However, just when Taiyi wanted to refuse to admit it, one after another exclamations came into Taiyi's ears, and then several figures appeared in front of Taiyi.

"Taiyi? Is that you?"

"Taiyi! Are you still alive?"

"Taiyi..."

……

Kakashi, Gai, Sakumo, Ōkawa, Shinnosuke, Junichiro, Fujimi, and Yuuko all appeared at the same time, gathered in front of the stall, and looked at Taichi in disbelief.

There was surprise, joy and nostalgia in everyone's eyes.

Only Dahechuan's eyes were filled with heartache.

When Taichi saw Ohkawa's eyes, his heart twitched violently.

Long time no see, uncle.

You look much older. I think you must have been very miserable during my absence. But please forgive me. Now is not the time for us to meet each other.

Taiyi's heart ached for a moment, and then he pretended to be frightened and took two steps back.

"Everyone, you may have recognized the wrong person. I am not Taiyi."

"This is not fun, Taichi. Now is not the time for fooling around."

Shinnosuke smiled and shook his head, speaking in a gentle tone.

"Yeah, since you're not dead, why don't you come back to find us? Eight years! Do you know how I spent these eight years?"

Kai suddenly burst into tears, and two lines of tears poured down like tap water.

"I'm sorry, you really got the wrong person. Just now, the Hokage also got the wrong person..."

Taiyi was deeply moved by everyone's sincere emotions, but he had to deny it despite everyone's burning gazes.

"Impossible! Your eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Taiyi. Even if your appearance will change due to growth, it will eventually leave traces."

Fujimi suddenly spoke, staring at Taiyi's face, as if trying to find more evidence from Taiyi's face.

"You may have grown taller and become whiter, but I am a doctor! The best doctor in Konoha! You are Taichi!"

"No...I really am not..."

Taichi shook his head and looked at Fujimi sincerely.

"Stop playing, please stop playing..."

Kakashi suddenly spoke, in an almost pleading tone.

"……Feel sorry."

Tai opened his mouth but finally didn't admit it.

Taichi's final attitude made everyone completely give up. Ohkawa seemed to have lost all his strength and his body fell backwards. Fortunately, Sakumo and he helped hold Ohkawa up.

"Sorry, we got the wrong person..."

Dahechuan said this with difficulty, then closed his eyes as if he had accepted his fate, tears rolling down his eyes.

"excuse me."

Sakumo glanced at Taichi, then turned and left, supporting Ohkawa.

"Ugh……"

Shinnosuke sighed sadly, and turned away with Junichiro, whose eyes were red.

"Why don't you want to admit it? Is there any reason? You can..."

Kai still didn't give up and asked.

"That's enough. Maybe we really got the wrong person."

Kakashi interrupted Gai's questioning and gave Taichi a meaningful look.

Taiyi pretended to be confused, but he felt unspeakable pain in his heart.

"excuse me."

After saying this, Kakashi pulled Kai and turned away.

Now, the only ones who haven't given up in front of the stall are Shisui, Fujimi and Yuko.

"kaleidoscope……"

Shisui suddenly spoke to Taichi using mouth language.

This is a secret known only to Taichi and Shisui. Even though so much time has passed, Shisui still remembers Taichi's instructions and has not told anyone.

And now that Taichi's identity can be verified, Shisui is willing to expose this biggest secret.

But Taichi seemed not to understand and looked at Shisui in confusion.

Shisui kept staring at Taichi's expression, trying to find some clues, but to Shisui's disappointment, Taichi was just like an ordinary person who couldn't read lip language.

"Feel sorry……"

Shisui's face was filled with disappointment.

"Hokage-sama, I think..."

"Go, Shisui, take a good rest."

Minato patted Shisui's shoulder and spoke softly.

Shisui nodded and turned to walk through the crowd.

"You two, you..."

Taichi looked at Yuko, who was rolling her eyes and looking him up and down, and was about to say something.

Lian Youzi shook her head and said disappointedly.

"You are not him..."

After hearing this, Fujimi completely gave up.

Just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, everyone's meridian structure is generally the same, but the details are different.

Yuko is involved in Taichi's treatment every time he is seriously injured. It can be said that Yuko is the person who knows Taichi's meridian structure best besides Taichi.

But Yuko would never have thought that after becoming an Otsutsuki, Taichi had changed his body, and the meridian structure was naturally completely different from before.

Fujimi and Yuko also left, leaving only Sasuke and the other two, who were at a loss, and Minato's family, who were waiting for Sanseki Maruko.

"Hokage-sama, the three-colored balls you requested are ready."

The old woman said softly.

"Oh...oh, thank you, old lady."

Minato came back to his senses from his deep thought, paid the money and took the three-colored balls. He also took a deep look at Taichi who was rolling the balls, then led Kushina and Naruto away.

Seeing this, Itachi and the other two left without saying a word.

On the way back, Itachi suddenly said to Izumi.

"Izumi, please take care of Sasuke. I'll be back soon."

"Itachi, where are you going?"

"elder brother?"

Izumi and Sasuke both looked at Itachi in confusion.

"Be good~Brother will be back soon and won't miss the New Year fireworks."

Itachi smiled and tapped Sasuke's forehead, then disappeared.

……

"My child, I don't know what your difficulties are, but you should cherish the fact that you have so many people who care about you in this world."

The old woman suddenly said to Taiyi.

Taiyi paused as he was rolling the meatballs, then continued as if nothing had happened.

"Old lady, you misunderstood. I'm really not who they say I am."

"Although I am old, my eyes are not dim."

The old woman stood up and started to pack up her stall.

"Let's just set up the stall here. The fireworks will be set off soon, and I don't want to miss the beautiful fireworks."

"Watch this year's fireworks this year. No matter how beautiful next year's fireworks are, they won't be as good as this year's fireworks."

After the old woman packed up her stall, she ignored Taiyi who was stunned and walked into the crowd with her hands behind her back.

"Crackling..."

Beautiful New Year fireworks bloomed in the sky, and from time to time there were exclamations from the crowd, as well as good wishes for the new year.

Kakashi sat alone on the rooftop, with a bottle of sake and two cups beside him.

When Kakashi saw sake, he remembered the time when, at Taichi's instigation, he and the other man secretly drank Sakumo's sake and were then beaten up by Sakumo.

That day was also New Year’s Day, but it was a pity that no one would drink with me in the New Year from now on.

Kakashi picked up the wine glass and drank it all. When he picked up the bottle to pour the wine, he found that the other glass of wine had been emptied at some point, and there was a piece of paper under the glass.

There was an expression drawn on the paper.

……

Dahechuan sat alone in the living room, listening to the laughter of the crowd outside and staring blankly at the table.

"Danglang~"

The sound of something falling to the ground attracted Dahechuan's attention. Dahechuan looked back, but found nothing.

However, when Dahechuan turned around, he saw a dagger on the table.
