My Hidden Road

The heavy rain pattered on the muddy ground, and the wheels rolled over, leaving a long and thin track. Naoto stood under the eaves and waited eagerly.

A long-awaited figure came holding an umbrella in the misty rain. Although she was not as smart and graceful as the lilac girl in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the girl's eyes always felt like she was thousands of miles away. I saw the aloof young man in the girl's eyes.

A lot more, adding a touch of earthly fireworks.

The raindrops slipped under the paper umbrella and fell to the ground. The paper umbrella was placed against the wall, leaving a pool of water. The girl snuggled next to her lover, holding on to his lapels as if she was afraid that he would escape.

"Are you leaving so soon?"

Ye Cang's eyes dimmed a bit: "Of course I have to leave after the matter is dealt with. Fortunately, the transported materials were not lost. I have to write a lengthy mission record after I return. Naoto, you and I have thought about going to Sunagakure Village together.

No?"

"Um? Today's glutinous rice dumplings are really delicious. If you don't believe me, try it."

"So please stop trying to persuade me to elope with you. What does this mean?"

Naoto felt a little ashamed: "It's not an elopement, it's a love affair, a husband and a wife. What's so good about Sunagakure Village? It doesn't even have the fabric to make clothes for you."

"What are you talking about?" Ye Cang pinched Naoto's ears and shouted: "You are not allowed to speak ill of the village. Don't I look good dressed like this? Why do you have trouble with my clothes?"

"Very good, very good, save fabric."

After a bit of banter, the two of them leaned together to enjoy tea and eat dumplings. This market was a blessed place for Naoto, and it was here that he first met her. From acquaintance, acquaintance, and falling in love, it was considered a complete success.

Both of them have their own personal thoughts. That's why Yegura accepts Naoto, who seems to be a little gangster. This is what Naoto admires, and that's why they are together. They don't make choices or obey based on likes and dislikes.

, this is a human being, a person with complete and independent consciousness.

His fingers lightly traced Ye Cang's smooth back. Naoto now only knew that it was slippery. He didn't know what he was doing except that it was slippery. He was addicted to women, maybe?

"Miss Ye Cang, I once asked you if you would blame me if I didn't save you next time. What is your answer now?"

"I didn't do it before, but I do now." Ye Cang said proudly.

Naoto was surprised: "Why, can you explain it?"

"Because I had no reason to rely on you before, but now I have absolute reason to rely on you, so of course I will blame you. Is this answer satisfactory?"

"Satisfied and scared."

"afraid of what?"

Naoto rubbed Ye Cang's forehead lovingly: "I'm afraid of not saving you. Remember what I said, this is not to sow discord but is something that is about to happen or will happen. You are not living for yourself now.

I have my thoughts in your heart, if you don’t want me to have snot bubbles coming out of my nose when I cry to the next girl in the future.”

"you dare!"

"It depends on how much you believe in me and whether you really regard me as the most precious person in your life, Miss Ye Cang, you know?"

Ye Cang's mind was shaken. Two questions that were not multiple-choice questions appeared in front of her. She believed Naoto's words wholeheartedly, treating him as the most precious existence in her life, or believing in the village.

"Can you really see the future?" Ye Cang was suspicious.

"certainly."

"So what does the future hold?"

Naoto loosened his arm around Hagura and said softly: "The third Kazekage disappeared, the third Raikage died in battle, the yellow flash spread throughout the ninja world, and you will die tragically at the hands of Kirigakure."

"These are impossible things!"

"What if it happens?"

Ye Cang was extremely confused. She didn't know why Naoto was so sure. Can the person in front of him really know the future?

Even though he knew he was going to die, he would still fall in love with himself, and if he liked someone who was going to die, if the events mentioned happened one by one, it would indirectly prove Naoto's sincerity, and no one would like someone who was about to die.

Seeing Ye Cang's worry, Naoto gently patted the back of her hand and smiled. "But it doesn't matter. Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. Whether it's me or you who are about to die, the one who will suffer the most is the one left."

"so······"

Naoto and Hayakura said in unison: "In order for the remaining person not to be sad anymore, we must live well."

Living alone for a long time is boring enough. Worrying about those who will not leave any words or ink in history, the depressive life makes people psychologically abnormal. Ye Cang may not understand Naoto's pain, but he will comfort his pain. People are always the same

As a social animal, something will happen sooner or later if you live like this.

"When will you leave here?" Naoto asked.

"Tomorrow, I will use the guise of reconnaissance from behind, but this is already my best effort."

Naoto held Ye Cang's hand and said, "I'll take you to a place. If you hurry, you can come back at night. Do you want to go?"

"where to?"

"You'll know when you go there."

Holding Ye Cang's hand, Naoto opened an umbrella for her, and the two walked into the drizzle. Not knowing their destination, Ye Cang followed Naoto with peace of mind. Following him felt at ease and at ease.

The two walked out of the market. Ye Cang, who was trotting in the wilderness, threw away the paper umbrella in his hand and held Naoto's hand tightly. He followed him through thick and thin, without fear.

Naoto did not take Ye Cang to run around but went to the base. Naoto had no peace of mind, and this might be his only home. Facing everything in the cave, Ye Cang was very curious, and Naoto lit an oil lamp to illuminate the entire base.

"This is my home, and this is probably the only place that can accommodate me. It's embarrassing to say that such a big person doesn't even have a house."

Ye Cang sat on the small wooden bed and shook his head: "No! I think this place is very good. Naoto has lived here all these years. Will he be afraid of sleeping alone at night?"

Tears overflowed from Naoto's eyes, and he turned his head quickly for fear that Ye Cang would see her. What else could she do? She was so considerate and said these things that were contrary to the truth in order to maintain her dignity. What else could she envy?

"What are you doing rubbing your eyes alone?"

Naoto lowered his head and explained: "Sand got into my eyes."

"You're so careless, let me blow it for you."

Ye Cang stood up and walked over and blew a breath into Naoto's eyes. The unique feminine fragrance emanating from her body made Naoto a little addicted and he put his hands around her waist.

"I grew up in the desert. Sometimes I was not used to sand blowing into my eyes. At that time, my mother would blow it for me. Later, my mother passed away and no one helped me blow my eyes. Girls who grew up in the desert are better than other girls.

Girls who grew up in the local area are stronger, so sometimes I will be very paranoid, I hope you won't be angry, Naoto."

"Ah? Well, I won't be angry." Naoto silently let go of his hands again, which seemed a little inappropriate now.

Ye Cang said gently: "Now that you've hugged me, don't let go. This will make the girl very disappointed. I have never disliked you, Naoto. Do you want to dislike me?"

"Ah? No..."
