My Hidden Road

Spitting out a mouthful of thick phlegm at Danzo's back, Naoto wiped his face with his sleeve, then steadily stepped up the stairs and walked upstairs. When he got to the rooftop, Hanzo was no longer here, so Naoto walked towards his favorite room.

.

As expected, Hanzo was sitting alone on the floor drinking wine, drinking to himself so he didn't worry about anything.

"Hanzo-sama, those people didn't do anything to you, did they?"

"Oh? It's Naoto." Hanzo took a sip of wine and waved casually and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. If you have time, practice ninjutsu. How is the injury on your shoulder yesterday?"

Naoto knelt on one knee and replied: "It's just a minor injury, no problem."

"It's fine if there's no problem. It's a troubled time now, and the village needs people like you very much. The ninjas in this village are afraid of powerful enemies, and you are the only one who dares to draw a sword against them. This is already very good."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Hanzo put down his wine glass and sighed: "Please come here to protect me even though you are injured. You should have had a good rest when you were injured. I'm really sorry."

"No need to be polite, Hanzo-sama, this is what I should do."

"You should be as humble as ever, please step aside! Go back and recover well. I may rely on you to complete a task in the future, Naoto-kun."

Naoto bowed his head and said, "I am always at your disposal. In that case, I will resign."

"Go!" Hanzo waved his hand.

After taking a few steps back, Naoto turned around and left the room, leaving Hanzo alone to drink. When he walked out of the Amegakure base, Naoto passed by someone. He was a middle-aged man wearing an eyepatch, thin and wearing a black windbreaker.

Naoto remembered that he was the captain of the patrol force outside the village, named Kanzo. He was also a ninja from the Sanshouyu clan, but he was not a companion who founded the village with Hanzo, but a ninja who was older than Hanzo and was already in a semi-retired state.

.

I heard that he was also a candidate for Sanshoyu's poison sac. Later, Hanzo became Sanshoyu's contractor, and he left Sanshoyu's village to go elsewhere. Later, Hanzo established the Amegakure Village and wanted to have a big fight, so he strongly invited

He just came after joining the village.

This person has come out, and it seems that Hanzo is really going to take action. However, according to Hanzo's suspicious character, he will not believe Danzo so quickly. It took him more than ten years to become Hanzo's confidant, a true confidant, so that he

Trust yourself.

There was a knock on the door outside the room, and Kanzo, wearing a gas respirator, came to the door.

"You're looking for me?"

There were several wine bottles beside Hanzo: "Exactly, there is really no one around now. I hope it won't disturb your rest. How are you doing lately?"

"Not bad." Kanzang shrugged his shoulders and said, "What about him? The young man who just left. I heard that you have high hopes for him. You even taught him the secret technique of water escape. Is he looking for a disciple of the mantle?"

"Naoto is very good. He has been conscientiously completing the tasks assigned to him over the years, and he has never complained. He is willing to do things even if there is no reward. Teaching him ninjutsu is my compensation for him. He has been delayed by me for too long."

"oh?"

Hanzo recalled some past events and smiled lightly: "Actually, he used to provide medical treatment and food to wandering refugees with his friends. Later, I drove him out of the Country of Rain. A few years later, he might have suffered something outside.

Feeling aggrieved, he returned to the Kingdom of Rain.

After that, I carried out any task without any complaints. Sometimes I am surprised that there is such a willing and dedicated young man, or maybe he has indeed suffered some unbearable injustices outside and has been working hard for the village these years."

Kanzang smiled hoarsely: "You really value him. If so, then treat him well. I heard that his strength is very good. Careful training can carry a heavy weight. By the way, if you have anything to do with me, don't do it.

Said it was drinking."

"I'm not that bored. I came to you for something important. I need you to test an organization called 'Akatsuki' to see if they are greedy for power."

"What if not?"

Hanzo raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp. So what if he didn't have it, so what if he had it. Didn't he kill a few people over the years?

However, Hanzo still has hope. If the Akatsuki organization really has the desire and greed to covet the Amegakure Village as Danzo said, Hanzo can comfort himself for a while when he uses the killing knife. At least they really have selfish desires.

"I see."

Kanzo and Hanzo coincided with each other. "I only have one question. Why didn't you let that young man go? Do you want him to have less blood on his hands?"

"Naoto?" Hanzo laughed and said, "The blood on his hands is no less than mine. He has helped me deal with some invisible secrets over the years. Why not let him go? The reason is that he is injured. Action

It’s just an inconvenience.”

"That's it?"

Hanzo said seriously: "That's all, no lies."

"Okay! I'll help you this time. I really don't know who will hand over Yuyin Village in the future. You don't even have a disciple, and the most promising Brown Swift is dead again."

"Killed by Naoto himself, Brown Swift is nothing more than that. Why do you mention him?"

Kanzo stood up and laughed: "Brown Swift is like the two Senju brothers in Konoha Hidden Village now. Without Brown Swift, it is equivalent to Senju Hashirama without his brother Tobirama, but you abandoned your Senju with your own hands.

Tobirama'."

"That guy can't reach the level of Senju Tobirama, even Shimura Danzo is far behind."

"Whatever you want, I'm leaving."

Hanzo took out a handwritten letter from his side and gave it to Kanzo to take to the leader of the Akatsuki organization. Then he continued to pour wine into his own glass without raising his head. Poor lobbyist, Yuyin Village has

You are enough on your own. Who would dare to touch the tiger's beard if he is half-god and half-hidden here? Why do you need another future leader?

In the morning, the Amegakure Village was shrouded in thick fog and drizzle. Shortly after Naoto and Kanzo left, there were intermittently rain ninjas coming to protect him, hoping to express their loyalty to Hanzo, but little did they know that Hanzo was the only one who welcomed them.

feeling of disgust.

These people are really beyond words. They are as weak as Akasaka and dare to tip off Naoto, but they are not even as good as Akasaka, a former scumbag.

Sitting in a warm room, Naoto saw Kanzo walking alone by the roadside, ignoring the drizzle and looking hurried.

"Naoto-sama, drink tea." Akasaka said enthusiastically.

"Oh, thank you for the treat."

Naoto is currently sitting at Akasaka's house. After leaving Amegakure Base, he passed by Akasaka's house and happened to bump into Akasaka who was standing outside the door holding his daughter watching the rain. He strongly invited Naoto to come to his house as a guest. This was Naoto's first time.

When visiting other people's homes, I act a bit reserved.

The woman on the side was holding her baby and breastfeeding her child. She was a little scared when she saw her husband being so respectful to this young man. She had kicked him out last time and he was just taking shelter from the rain.

"Is there no problem, Hanzo-sama?"

Naoto's eyes wandered towards the woman who was breastfeeding her child: "Thank you Akasaka for your timely report. Hanzo-sama is fine. Thank you very much."

"As long as there is no problem, I really don't know what the village would do if something happens to Master Hanzo."

Akasaka, who was watching Naoto nervously, found that something was wrong with his eyes. He seemed to be looking at his wife. Could it be that Naoto-sama has that kind of hobby?

That's not right! Naoto-sama has always kept himself clean and never even goes to bars. He shouldn't be this kind of person.

Realizing that Naoto recognized her, the woman tied up her clothes and gently patted the child's back with a blushing face.

Naoto smiled slightly: "Madam, we meet again. Thank you for letting me take shelter from the rain last time under the eaves in front of your house. Your husband is very good and a competent husband, but he was once my subordinate.

Some dereliction of duty."
