My Hidden Road

After leaving the Country of Rain, Naoto came to the junction of the two countries and crossed the border without leaving a trace.

After walking for more than two hours in the territory of the Kingdom of Wind, Naoto felt that the wind today was very noisy, the kind that could blow a camel into the sky.

Having lived in the dark and humid environment of the Rain Country for a long time, Naoto wanted to go back not long after entering the desert. Just as he was about to retrace his steps to find a caravan to go to Sunagakure Village with him, a sandstorm blew up behind him.

Naoto, who saw a sandstorm for the first time, was a little surprised by this masterpiece of heaven. When he saw the camel walking on the sand ridge swallowed by the sandstorm and then blown up into the sky, Naoto knew he had run away. This was completely different from the storm in the Land of Rain. The storm

At most it can make people stagger around, but this can blow people up to the sky.

Stepping on the sand, he jumped into a sand nest and formed several mud flow walls with his hands to cover himself. Naoto buried his head in the sand and shivered. No wonder Sunagakure Village is obsessed with the territory of the Land of Fire. This is indeed not a normal life.

The environment of this land is even worse than that of the Country of Rain.

The sandstorm that covered the sky swallowed up Naoto, who covered his mouth and nose and waited for the sandstorm to pass...

I don't know how long ago, someone was walking on a sand dune.

The red-haired boy took off the gauze on his head and patted his hair, and the sand slipped out of his red hair. Suddenly something in the sand was twisting its body and burrowing down, letting the sand bury itself.

The red-haired boy walked over and stretched out his hand to grab it. He held a triangular-headed rattlesnake in his hand. The rattlesnake's skin blended into the sand, making it difficult to initiate even if you looked closely. The boy took out a test tube from the satchel on his waist.

, began to extract rattlesnake venom.

The rattlesnake's tail made a rustling sound. The boy threw the rattlesnake far away and raised the test tube to watch the changes in the venom in the sun.

"Uh~~Ah!"

Suddenly a hand stretched out from the sand and held his foot. The boy expressionlessly lifted his other foot and stepped on Naoto's finger. Then he pulled out a kunai and poked it into the sand, making a tinkling sound.

.

A rock slab was kicked away by someone, and Naoto got up from the sand. Before he could react, he received a heavy punch in the chest, and fell to his knees on the ground, drooling from his mouth.

"How did you find me and who asked you to assassinate me?"

He rubbed his face, patted the sand out of his hair, and threw the raincoat aside. It was a bit strange to wear a raincoat in the desert. The sun shone directly in Naoto's eyes, so he had to squint to look at the person in front of him.

, but it was somewhat difficult to see the faces clearly under the sunlight.

Turning sideways and looking at the handsome red-haired guy in front of him, Naoto patted his knees and stood up. Kneeling was okay for a while, but he really couldn't stand up after kneeling.

"There was a sandstorm just now, and I was hiding in the sand nest. Why did this place turn into a sand dune again?"

"Answer my question." Scorpion said.

Naoto sat down on the sand and slipped on his shoes, pouring out all the sand in his trouser legs. Jiraiya's posture made Xia a little angry, and took out a scroll. The huge Hiryuu appeared on the sand, and Xia raised his hands to control it.

Ryuku's tail stretched out and she headed straight for Naoto.

"I don't mean any harm, I just happened to be passing by here."

Xie stopped and asked Fei Liuhu: "This direction is towards Sand Hidden Village. What are you doing in Sand Hidden Village?"

"Find someone."

"who?"

Naoto looked at Hiryuko's tail and swallowed: "Looking for the Burnt Release Ye Cang of Sunagakure Village. I am her spy in the Land of Rain. I recently got some information and I want to report it to her."

Hirauko's tail is only a few centimeters away from Naoto's face, and it only takes a slight movement to pierce Naoto's head.

"What information?" Xie asked.

"Get some Sanshou fish toxin."

"That toxin from the sansho fish?"

Naoto stretched out his fingers and gently moved the blade of Hirauko aside: "Sansho Hanzo's Sansho fish, Orochimaru of Konoha Hidden Village also wants it, but I still prefer your village, so I want to share the information with Sansho

I leave the fish toxin to you."

"But why are you looking for the Burning Escape Ye Cang, and why are you leaning towards Sand Hidden Village?"

Naoto smiled awkwardly: "Secret."

"What about the toxins in the sancho fish?"

"I forgot to pick it up at home, I'll get it right away!"

Before he could finish his words, Naoto suddenly stood up and pulled out the black sword and chopped off Hirauko's tail. He activated the Kiryu no Jutsu and aimed directly at the scorpion. Ninjas who are good at swordsmanship are at a disadvantage when encountering a puppet master, and as expected, his tail was chopped off.

Fei Liuhu quickly retracted it, then extended it and continued to stab Naoto.

The Rain Cutting Technique was activated, and Naoto's black tachi was blocked by Hirauko, making it difficult for him to move forward. Then he swung the long knife and cut off a corner of his clothes. Naoto raised the white corner of his shirt and waved it.

"I surrender, surrender."

Naoto is not stupid enough to fight the swordsman ninja and the puppet master. He and the scorpion have no enmity and it is not suitable to fight and kill each other. As the saying goes, you need a few enemies and a lot of friends, so that you can develop in the long run.

Seeing Naoto's fierce swordsmanship, Scorpion was about to fight to the death. Unexpectedly, the guy opposite him surrendered shamelessly. The young Scorpion didn't know that people in the world are evil.

Naoto showed a smile and said: "I know who you are. The Scorpion of Red Sand is known as the genius puppet stylist of Hidden Sand Village. His favorite thing is to pursue art. Naoto Shimotsukegawa is now a rebellious nin of Hidden Ame Village.

Preparing to defect to Sunagakure Village."

"The human puppets of Baiji Dianyan are not good at swordsmanship yet. Maybe your joining can make up for one of the shortcomings."

Without further ado, Hiryuko waved her long scorpion tail again, opened her mouth and sprayed out high-density poisonous needles, seemingly intending to kill Naoto and then make a human puppet.

"Earth Escape: Earth Current Wall Technique!"

The several-meter-high earth flow wall blocked the poisonous needle, but the steel scorpion's tail pierced the earth flow wall. Naoto, who was hiding behind the earth flow wall, watched the blade pass in front of his eyes with lingering fear.

"Scorpion!" Naoto shouted while hiding behind the earth flow wall: "I know you want to kill me and then make the corpse into a puppet, but I can't be killed, and you can't make it into a puppet."

When Xie heard this, little stars suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Rare materials, if he really can't die, maybe he can be made into a puppet that will never be damaged, achieving artistic eternity."

"Eternity, you big-headed fish, how can you make a puppet if you can't kill me? My life is eternal."

"It's impossible, no one's life will reach eternity. If you really are an eternal existence, then it is the most perfect art in the world."

Naoto swung the black sword to resist Hirauko's attack, looked back and shouted: "On the road to pursuing eternal art, I have gone further than you."

Suddenly, Naoto stuck the black sword in the sand, and let the steel tail of Fei Liuhu pierce his chest. Xie was stunned, watching Naoto's chest bleeding, and his mouth also kept bleeding, but he laughed to himself, like

It's making fun of your own ignorance.

"It's impossible. Without eternal life, how can you not die?"

There was a strong poison in the red amber, and Naoto's lips turned black and his face turned blue. Holding a black sword, Naoto walked to a cooler sand dune, lay on the sand and smiled at Scorpion.

Xie asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

"Find a cool place to wait for death! Otherwise the body will stink quickly. Do you want to bet on when I will die?"

After estimating the time, Xie said categorically: "Five minutes at most, you will definitely die!"

"Young man is still too young..."
