My Hidden Road

Say goodbye to Mr. Youshan and say goodbye to this village without young people.

Say goodbye to this village that was abandoned by Sanshouyu Hanzo for being worthless. It used to be protected by ninjas secretly, but now it is lonely and lifeless.

The village is still far away from the former base. The base that Hatosuke is looking for is very hidden. Even people who are familiar with the terrain have a hard time finding it. There are rugged rocks among the mountains and ravines, and the surrounding scenery changes step by step. According to memory

Looking for his former base, he hasn't returned here for a long time.

Under the rock wall, Naoto found the entrance to the base, which was as inconspicuous as the entrances to most caves here.

Walking into the cave, the air was filled with a peculiar smell unique to caves. Naoto picked up a stone and threw it inside. Suddenly, a group of bats flew out.

The items in the cave were still the same as before, covered with dust and moss, and were covered by a heavy waterproof canvas. But when the waterproof canvas was uncovered, a pungent smell came out. The furniture had not been inhabited for a long time and had become rotten and moldy.

Several small white mushrooms grew.

He fumbled for an oil lamp in the darkness and lit it. The flame emitted light and heat, while black smoke floated straight up. The cave was dimly illuminated by the firelight. Naoto took off his long knife and shoulder bag and began to clean the base.

The cave is connected in all directions, and Jiosuke said that there is a secret passage that can lead directly to places several kilometers away. Following the sound of running water, he found the underground river in the cave, filled it with a bucket of water, and started cleaning it.

Busy from morning to night, unnecessary furniture was split and burned as firewood. Naoto took a hot bath by the way. The sky outside had already darkened. Naoto was lying on his small bed and studying ninjutsu scrolls by the light of the fire. I don't know.

When the scroll fell on the edge of the bed, Naoto fell asleep early.

"Straight person, straight person..."

In his sleep, Naoto vaguely heard someone calling him. He suddenly woke up, pulled out his long knife and waved it casually. A spark flew out, leaving the three of them speechless.

Putting down the long knife in his hand, Naoto's back became sweaty, and Hatosuke was too frightened to speak. A black iron rod stood in front of him, and the giant Buddha smiled innocently at Naoto.

"Naoto, long time no see." The Buddha said with a silly smile.

"Ah? Big Buddha, long time no see..."

Before the words were finished, the three of them hugged each other. After receiving the message from Asano and the other three, Daibutsu and Hatosuke immediately set out to come here. The three of them, who had not seen each other for several years, hugged each other tightly at this moment. Suddenly Naoto's eyes were alert.

Looking at the two people standing at the entrance of the cave, his fingers unconsciously touched the handle of the knife.

Jiosuke said with a cry: "You haven't come to us all these years. Dabutu and I never saw the brothers every time we went to the garbage dump outside Yuyin Village. At first, we could learn about you from other people.

, but there is no news about you in the past few years, what on earth are you doing?"

"Okay, okay." Naoto gently stroked Jiuzuke's head: "Don't cry, no one will like you if you're blinded by crying."

"screw you!"

Jiuzuke immediately opened his arms and kept a straight face without saying a word. The Buddha patted Naoto's shoulder with his big, thick hands, leaned over and whispered in Naoto's ear. After hearing this, Naoto looked at Jiuzuke with an unkind look.

"Yo yo yo, I started crying."

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about, Daibutsu?" Hatosuke rolled up his sleeves and immediately started fucking the Buddha, waving his fists continuously.

Naoto focused on the two people aside, a red-haired young man and a purple-haired girl. They were none other than Nagato and Konan, one of the founders of the Akatsuki organization. Realizing that Naoto was looking at him, the two walked away.

Come on, Xiaonan smiled slightly and stretched out her palm.

"I've always heard Jiuzuke and Dabutu talk about you before. This is the first time we've met. Please give me your advice. My name is Konan, and this is Nagato."

Naoto was suspicious for a moment and stretched out his palm to shake Konan's hand: "Naoto Sekawa, it's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me."

"Nagato, please take care of me."

"Please take care of me."

One by one, Naoto met and exchanged greetings with the two of them. Naoto felt a little palpitated, and a bad premonition sprouted in his heart.

"We have heard about you." Xiaonan said with a friendly smile: "You have become the youngest Jonin in Yuyin Village at the age of only sixteen. However, it seems that your official career has encountered difficulties, and the big things you have done recently are simply shocking.

incredible."

"oh?"

Xiaonan stood on tiptoes and looked at the two people fighting inside: "Naoto-kun, let's chat with our friends first. We are just worried about Jiosuke and Daibutsu, so we have become their bodyguards and come together. Don't worry about me and Nagato."

Naoto looked straight at Xiaonan's beautiful face: "Then you two, please help yourself, and I apologize for the poor reception."

"No problem, thank you for your concern."

Turning around and walking into the cave, Jiuzuke and Daibutsu ended their fight. The two sat on the bed eager to try, as if they had something to say to Naoto.

Seeing Naoto arrive, Hatosuke said: "Naoto, come with us! We are not fighting alone here. There are many companions in Akatsuki who share the same belief. You will like Akatsuki."

I originally planned to persuade these two fools to leave Akatsuki, but Jiuzuke took the lead and asked me to join Akatsuki. What would I do if I joined Akatsuki? Waiting for death?

Naoto looked back at Nagato and Konan who were standing at the entrance of the cave chatting, feeling very upset.

"I need help now. I'm going to create an organization that belongs to us. What do you think?"

"this?"

Hatosuke looked at the Buddha blankly, and the latter said puzzledly: "Naoto, you don't need to recreate an organization. Akatsuki is the best organization. As Hatosuke said, there are many people in Akatsuki who have the same ideals as us.

young people.

We follow dialogue to resolve disputes, use force to protect ourselves, save the Country of Rain, and relieve refugees. These are good ideals, and we practice them in this way, and the results are very good."

Naoto said indifferently: "Leave Xiao, I will take you to pursue greater ideals. I am not kidding, do you want to join me or choose to follow them?"

"What's wrong with you?" Hatosuke stood up and grabbed Naoto's collar.

"The Akatsuki will fail."

"How did you know we were going to fail?"

Naoto threw away Jiuzuke's arm, raised his fist and hit him on the cheek, and Jiuzuke was knocked to the ground. The Buddha beside him had a solemn look on his face. As expected, they started fighting again not long after they met.

"Leave with me, and I will take you to realize your ideals."

"Oh~~~Bah!" Jiuzuke, who fell to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood: "You have no intention of saving this country at all. If you were willing to take us with you ten years ago, instead of saying these high-sounding words now.

"

The Buddha pretended to be a good old man and stopped Naoto: "Naoto, don't do this. We have just met. If you have anything to say, please tell me, don't do anything."

"Let him come here!"

Jiuzuke shouted angrily: "Even if he beats me to death here today, Wei Tuotian's Jiuzuke will not leave Xiao, Buddha, get out of the way!"

"Then I'll kill you. It's better to be killed by me than by someone you don't know." Naoto became angry for a moment, pulled out his long sword and walked towards Jiuzuke.

The Buddha stopped Naoto and begged: "Naoto, please don't do this. He is Jiuzuke, our family, and this is our home. Put down the knife and let's talk slowly. Some things are not what you think."

"Pooh!"

Jiuzuke stood up and sneered: "Do you think he treats us as family now? I, Wei Tuotian's Jiuzuke, was saved by you, Naoto Jiechuan. At worst, I will give it back to you. I will not leave the Akatsuki organization until I die.

Unswerving!"
