My Hidden Road

Half a month later.

Naoto Sekikawa, the former captain of the patrol force in Areas A and B of Amegakure Village, was dismissed from his post. Hanzo had previously promised to be responsible for the security of the village, but Naoto never mentioned it again after he returned to the village alive.

Naoto was still a ninja of the Amegakure village and was not sent to the border to take charge of patrol duties. Kita originally proposed that he go to the Iwagakure border to take over the area before Brown Swift, but Hanzo rejected it. He did not say how to deal with it, and was deposed indefinitely.

The Commercial Street and Pai Pai Street had finally regained their vitality before but were brutally wiped out. The first thing those bastards and scumbags did was to collect protection fees. When Naoto was the regional patrol leader, he did not collect protection fees and ordered his subordinates to maintain law and order. Both.

The completely different management methods have caused complaints among residents, and no one likes to pay protection fees.

Those scumbags in Naoto's hands have also lost their backers. The original patrol captains had subordinates, so it was not Akasaka's turn to collect protection fees, and the current bosses would not be like Naoto who would carry a few bags of banknotes to hand out money from time to time.

"Naoto-sama, why don't you serve as captain anymore?"

When Naoto went downstairs to buy breakfast, he was grabbed by a woman. Naoto shrugged helplessly, and then filled Naoto with several meat buns in paper bags with tears in his eyes.

He took out the banknotes from his pocket, but the woman who bought the snacks did not accept them. She lowered her head and sobbed softly.

"Why is it that a good person like you is not the captain, but those bastards are arrogant and domineering and collect protection fees? Hanzo-sama is really blind."

Naoto thrust the banknote into the woman's hand arrogantly: "Change, thank you."

"I should thank you for your patronage."

The woman quickly gave Naoto the change. Everyone in the street knew that Naoto was always willing to spend money, but he never took things for free, and he never bullied the common people. The five meat buns totaled seventy-four taels, and the woman gave Naoto twenty-six.

Two, the coins collided and made a crisp knocking sound.

"Hey! Old lady, you haven't paid all the protection fees for this month. It's a total of 10,000 taels. When are you going to pay it?"

Several gangsters who didn't have the temperament of a ninja came over and kicked the woman's steamer over with their arrogant attitude, causing the buns and other snacks to scatter on the floor.

"Ten thousand taels a month is too much, and it's not even a month yet. Can you give me a few more days?" the woman begged.

The tall and thin young man with messy oil paint on his face stepped on the cage: "You are disobeying Hanzo-sama's order. Paying the protection fee is what you should do. Isn't it our credit that you can do business here with peace of mind?

?”

"If you can give me a few days of grace, I will definitely pay it."

"No, you must pay it today, otherwise your shop will be destroyed!"

A hand was placed on the lanky young man's shoulder.

"Hey, what do you think this is?" Naoto asked the young man with a long knife in his hand.

"What do you want to do...ah~~~"

Before the young man could finish his words, the long sword and scabbard struck him on the neck. The young man fell to the ground, holding his head and wailing after being hit on the head. Naoto kept waving the scabbard and beating him.

After fighting for a few minutes, Naoto raised his head and wiped the rain off his face, whistled at the frightened scum, then picked up a long knife and poked the young man on the ground, picked up the bun in the paper bag and took a bite.

"Take this guy back, didn't you see me buying something?"

The frightened scum whispered.

"who is he?"

"It seems to be the captain here, the youngest Jonin in the village."

"It turns out it's him. Let's go quickly. This guy is a psycho. He killed his own subordinates on the first day he took office. Let's not mess with him."

The patrol that collected the protection fee prepared to leave after carrying the unfortunate bastard who was beaten until he fainted.

"stop!"

Naoto gave an order and everyone dared not move. He reached out and groped in their pockets, took out the banknotes and counted them. Then he took out the money from his own pocket and stuffed it again into the patrol team.

"I didn't bring enough money today. Can you lend me some and I'll pay her protection fee?"

The remaining scumbags in the patrol team were all panicking. What else could they do? Of course they agreed.

Dismissing the patrol, Naoto walked into the rain with a paper bag in his arms. He still had to practice and didn't have time to play games with those guys. As for beating up his companions in the village, it might be a very serious crime in the five major countries. Sprinkling water on Yuyin Village

Already.

By the way, these people are not human in the eyes of the higher-ups. They are 'materials' that can be consumed at will. They can't even control their lives. A beating is already a very light punishment.

Evil people need to be tempered by evil people, and Naoto is even more vicious than them. He can't do anything but bully civilians. Beating him is considered a light thing, and Naoto almost couldn't help but swing the blade.

As usual, Naoto came to the bottomless lake, stepped on the water with his feet attached to chakra, and then pulled out his ninja sword and practiced swinging the sword, so that his arm muscles could develop habitual memory.

Naoto had practiced the light sword so many times that every time he went home, his arms would be red, swollen and sore. The calluses on his hands were comparable to those of a samurai who had practiced kendo for more than ten years.

The Second Ninja World War has come to an end. Large-scale wars are no longer initiated, and all countries are unable to initiate them again.

In this way, Naoto spent thirty-seven years. Naoto, who had been practicing in Amegakure Village, also accidentally learned that Kato Dan, whom he once knew, died in battle. It seemed that everything in the world was cut off from Naoto.

Danzo's order was to continue to lurk in Amegakure Village. Orochimaru, who betrayed himself to Sarutobi Hiruzen, was unable to learn various ninjutsu, so he also directly handed over all Naoto's information to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Naoto cut off all contact and hunkered down.

Practice swordsmanship in Yuyin Village, hoping to complete the swordsmanship Qieyu.

The entire thirty-seven years ended in an extremely depressing and dark process. All countries paid the price for it and returned to their lairs to lick their wounds alone and wait for revenge. The seeds of hatred were buried deep in their hearts and will grow with time.

As time goes by, it takes root and sprouts, eventually leading to unpredictable consequences.

It is worth mentioning that Naoto's swordsmanship, Kirisame, has not yet been completed. He was known as "Naoto of Kirisame" during the Third Ninja World War. He was still a minor figure. The legendary swordsmanship that can cut off the falling rain has not yet appeared.

The legend in the Kingdom of Rain is still circulating. When the light of dawn breaks through the darkness of dawn, the country will usher in true peace. The newborn dawn is not enough to make people pay attention, and the dream has not yet begun.

A document stamped with a red A mark was stamped with the seal of death, and then passed through layers of hands and sent to the piled root archives, where it was placed in an inconspicuous corner and waited for dust to fall.

There is a familiar photo on it. The girl in the photo narrows her eyes and smiles gently, and there is an open letter. It seems that no one has noticed this letter, and no one will come to check this death file, let alone

Someone will know the agreement in the letter.

The original Akatsuki member, the agreement written by Kosuke and Yahiko in the letter. From the moment he returns to Akatsuki, according to the agreement, he will become the leader of Akatsuki and lead the members of Akatsuki to achieve everyone's common ideal.
