My Hidden Road

"That's it. The leader of Xiao is eager to accept your conditions and is very interested in taking charge of the diplomatic work of the three major countries."

"I knew it was like this..."

In the dim room, Hanzo and Kanzo were sitting on their knees at a low table, with a pot of hot tea on the table. Several oil lamps were lit in the corner behind them, and a moth flew around the oil lamp. In the end, they did not look back.

He jumped forward and the oil lamp went out.

Naoto appeared from nowhere, picked out the moths wrapped in wax from the oil lamp, then took out a match from a cabinet and lit the oil lamp. After doing this, Naoto quietly stepped aside and listened to the two of them quietly.

conversation.

Naoto has already heard what Kanzo said just now. The young Akatsuki will still come to an end. The person he only glanced at back then will leave the world, leaving only Akatsuki who has lost his ideals and reason.

This bait was swallowed by Akatsuki. Naoto knew that no matter whether the bait was swallowed or not, Akatsuki would be destroyed, and maybe it would be his own death. If he was responsible, he would have room for maneuver, but unfortunately Akatsuki did not refuse, and swallowed

By taking this bait, Hanzo mistakenly thought that he was coveting power.

Naoto felt it was a pity that Yahiko, who could establish Akatsuki, had never spoken to him. He really wanted to see what kind of person he was and what ideals he preached?

"Naoto."

"My subordinate is here." Naoto immediately knelt down on one knee and said yes.

Hanzo said seriously: "Tomorrow I will meet with people from the Akatsuki organization. You will follow me as a guard at any time. You have to let them see what the real Land of Rain is and work hard. The so-called Akatsuki is in front of you.

It will be eclipsed.”

"Yes! I will definitely fulfill my mission."

After finishing the escort work, Naoto held an umbrella and left the Amegakure Base. Instead of returning to the apartment, he went straight to the underground black market on Sifang Street.

At the entrance of the clock shop, the owner is still repairing clocks day after day. Compared with the first time Naoto came here more than ten years ago, the owner of the watch shop now has gray hair and smiled slightly when he saw Naoto arrive.

A young man wearing a leather skirt walked out of the store and greeted Naoto in a somewhat reserved manner.

"What is this?" Naoto stooped slightly and could pull out the long sword in an instant.

Seeing Naoto's actions, the clock shop quickly put down the work at hand, nodded and explained: "This is my nephew. My energy is not as good as before. He may accept the job here in the future. Please rest assured."

"nephew?"

"I'm really sorry for making you worry, our guest."

"It doesn't matter."

The owner of the watch shop drove the young man and said: "Take the customers quickly, this is how we do things, be quick with your hands and feet."

"Yes, uncle." The young man nodded and bowed, leading Naoto into the store.

After passing through the deep passage, under the leadership of the young man, Naoto walked to an empty and dark underground cave. The waiter was sleeping on the table. Naoto knocked on the table lightly, and the waiter immediately woke up.

Come over here, reach out and wipe the saliva from the corners of your mouth with your sleeves.

"What do you want, guest?"

Naoto said without thinking: "Get a short blade, money is not a problem."

"Hold on."

After saying that, the waiter went inside and rummaged through the cabinets. Soon after, he came over with a dusty wooden box, put it on the table and blew hard, and the dust immediately dispersed. The wooden box was already moldy, and it had obviously been there for a while.

Opening the wooden box, there was a long stick containing items wrapped in oil paper. There was an unpleasant smell of lard that had already stale. The lard was applied to prevent rust. After unwrapping the layers of oil paper, a handle was beautifully made.

The short blade appeared in front of Naoto's eyes, and his whole body was filled with coldness, sending shivers down his spine.

"Shenghui, a total of 870,000 taels, do you need it, my guest?" A bill appeared in front of Naoto with the amount marked on it. He only needed Naoto's signature and it would be deducted from his account. He was innocent.

Naoto signed the bill, put the short blade behind his waist and covered it with his raincoat, just like before.

He is good at using swords, but no one knows that Naoto is good at using swords with both hands, with a short blade in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand. Most people are born with stronger right arms, but Naoto is left-handed, and he is forced to hold the sword in his right hand.

When I was practicing swordsmanship, I often cut myself with my hands. It was because Naoto was left-handed but held the sword with his right hand. This also caused the swordsmanship to basically start from scratch for a long time.

The two-handed sword, this is a secret that Naoto has hidden for many years. It is specially used to restrain Hanzo's chain sickle technique. It is a trump card that has been hidden for many years.

The next day.

As agreed, the meeting between the two parties was on a dyke, a river dyke located near Yuyin Village. This dyke is the most famous project in the Kingdom of Rain. It has super drainage and flood discharge capabilities in the rainy environment of the Kingdom of Rain, and protects

Many people in the Rain Country are protected from rain erosion, which also symbolizes the hope of the Rain Country.

Naoto stood on the embankment and stretched out his hands to catch the falling rainwater. The torrent flowed away from the river in front of him. The drops of rainwater gathered into lines and slipped through the gaps in his fingers. This rain could not be caught.

Not far away, Hanzo stood impatiently in the rain with his hands on his chest. The huge Sanshou Fish behind him had already channeled his spirit just in case. If necessary, he could use the poisonous mist to fight.

Wearing a gas respirator, the rain protector on his forehead was dripping rainwater. He wiped away the raindrops on his eyelids, and a group of small black dots appeared in the distance.

"They are here, the Akatsuki organization is here, everyone cheer up."

Naoto looked back and looked into the distance, they were indeed here.

After arranging his raincoat and hiding the short blade at his waist, Naoto breathed a long sigh of relief and walked towards Hanzo. At this time, Hanzo no longer had the impatience he had before. With his cautious nature, he would be full of energy when facing any enemy, just like a lion.

Fight the rabbit.

"Lord Hanzo, they are here."

"Well, it's indeed here."

The Sanshou Fish lying on the ground lazily raised its head, swung its huge tail, and inhaled hard through its nostrils, accumulating poisonous mist in its abdomen to prepare for emergencies.

This was Naoto's first time to see a Sansho fish up close. Although this Sansho fish was very big, it was not the Sansho fish that Hanzo used most often. That Sansho fish was much larger than this one.

The curious Naoto stretched out his hand to touch the Sansho Fish, its wrinkled skin secreted mucus, and its small black eyes always looked funny compared to its huge head. The Sansho Fish could not see anything, and it only felt the outside world

Touch it, and shake your head when you feel someone touching it.

After wiping the mucus off his hands, Naoto stopped teasing the Sansho Fish, and its mucus was very sticky and disgusting.

Not far away, Akatsuki, who looked like a small black dot, organized everyone to come. Naoto saw the three leaders at first sight, namely Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan. The three of them were Kyosuke and Daibutsu a little later.

Everyone in the Akatsuki organization who arrived was well-trained. Even though they were very tired, they were panting heavily. The rain mixed with sweat soaked their clothes. The group stood neatly behind Yahiko. Perhaps in order to increase the momentum, Yahiko also carried a long sword.

He does seem to be somewhat of a leader.
