My Hidden Road

Near dusk, Naoto walked out of the forest on the coast, holding a dead rabbit in his hand. Scorpion was still studying a lot of mechanical parts, as if he was tinkering with something new.

"Leave here tomorrow morning and go to the Kingdom of Thunder. I heard that Yunyin Village also has many special blood inheritance limits." Xie buried his head and said.

"who?"

Naoto looked around and said to himself: "Who are you talking to, who is going to Kumogakure Village?"

"Aren't you going to come with me?"

Leaving the dead rabbit behind, he plucked its hair, tied it with branches and put it on the fire for barbecue. Naoto did not answer Xie's question. He originally just wanted to learn the chakra line control of the puppet technique, and did not intend to join Xie himself.

There are still a lot of things that need to be done, and we can't just mess around with him.

"Have you learned the basic control of puppetry?"

Naoto nodded: "I don't plan to learn how to be very sophisticated, it's probably enough. After that, I have to do what I need to do, and I can't accompany you anymore."

"idiot!"

Raise your fist and hit yourself hard on a pile of parts. Why do you want to get involved in those nonsense? Human life should not be spent on these meaningless disputes.

It's not easy to find a 'friend' who is opportunistic and gets along well with him. Just a friend for now. Scorpio originally thought that life would be very good after leaving the Kingdom of Wind. In fact, this period of time was indeed good.

"Scorpion." Naoto said with a sincere look: "I have things I have to do, because only by completing these things can I feel like a human being, not a puppet.

I am the one who sold my soul to the evil god. Perhaps this is my punishment. The characteristic of transactions is fairness and justice. You have to pay something for what you get. But I don't want to lose, so I can only pursue it."

"These have nothing to do with me."

"I have no friends, not since they died."

Scorpion stopped what he was doing: "This has nothing to do with me."

Naoto sighed: "Forget it, maybe people like us are not worthy of having friends at all. People like us cannot have friends forever, and even if they are forever, they will be lost in a short period of time."

During the conversation, the rabbit that was being smoked on the charcoal fire was sizzling with grease. Naoto cut half of it with a kunai and handed it to Scorpion, who took it naturally.

Both Scorpion and Naoto once had friends, but the same thing is that they both lost them. Naoto's friend died of the numbness of his soul, and Scorpion's friend died of indifference. The one who was made into a puppet by Scorpion was also the first one who was willing to be made into a puppet by Scorpion.

friend.

Sometimes Naoto would see Scorpion hiding the puppet scroll in the most difficult-to-see place. Scorpion's friend died from a mechanical failure after the puppet's transformation. The toxins equipped on the puppet merged into his body and died. It can be said that he died indirectly at the hands of Scorpion, because the puppet was transformed.

It's controlled by Scorpion.

The two sat on the beach in silence. After a long time, Xie stood up and looked into the distance.

"Maybe you are right. People like us don't deserve friends. So-called friends are even more unreliable than puppets."

"So······"

Before Naoto finished speaking, a beautiful fire suddenly appeared, and an explosion came from the forest in the distance. Naoto, who was the most keen, pulled out his black sword and kept glancing around, while Scorpion controlled two puppets with both hands, and one wrote

Wheel Eye Puppet, a Boiling Release Ninja Puppet.

Thick fog once again enveloped this area. The sound of the explosion was far away, but a sideways glance proved that someone would sneak in here? This area is the front line of the battle between Konoha and Kirigakure. Naoto took advantage of the thick fog and galloped into the forest?

Not to be outdone, Scorpio ran away. They planned to leave tomorrow morning, but seeing this situation, the two planned to leave now.

After the two left, the thick fog without chakra dissipated, leaving behind a burning bonfire and corpses.

Naoto and Scorpion were jumping deep in the dense forest? Then they climbed up a big tree to observe the situation? The explosions in the distant forest were continuous, but intermittent and regular. This is definitely not an explosive symbol used by troops in battles?

There must be another reason.

"what to do?"

Xion thought for a moment: "Let's see what's going on first, the target is not us."

"Walk."

Jumping off the treetops, the two of them walked towards the place where the explosion occurred. Are you brave enough to be an expert? Naoto is not afraid of ordinary ninjas, unless he meets those guys who are extremely difficult to mess with. Then he thought that he was still from the Hidden Leaf Village.

Spies, and Scorpion is still here, so I have no worries when I think about it.

Tens of minutes later, the two arrived at the explosion site. The ground was in a mess. The ground was exploded, the body was broken into several pieces, and the body was hung on the tree.

Naoto picked up a forehead protector covered with blood on the ground and handed it to Scorpion: "It seems we are lucky? It should be that Konoha noticed something was wrong here and sent a reconnaissance team, but by chance they met the troops sent by Kirigakure here, and the other party

There are still seven people with ninja swords. The entire Konoha army should be wiped out, we have something to do."

"Seven people with the Ninja Sword?" Xie was eager to try.

"Yeah! Maybe you can expand your puppet library with a few more powerful guys, have fun."

The ground was shattered, and the bodies were scattered in all directions. The continuous explosions were made of explosive knives and droplets; the bodies hanging on the trees were made of long knives and needles. Naoto squatted on the ground and touched the soil. The soil was still carrying

With the temperature generated by the explosion, those two guys shouldn't have gone far yet, maybe?

Naoto looked back at the distant coastline and seemed to have missed it, but it didn't matter.

"You're coming for us, that's not right!"

"What's wrong?" Xia was confused.

"They are not coming for us. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are conducting a surprise attack. If they were coming for us, they would encounter us directly. Their target is the Konoha headquarters."

"what you up to?"

Naoto smiled sinisterly: "Help Konoha Village add some ingredients. If you don't do this, how can you live up to the good things they have done in the Land of Rain?"

A moment later, the sky had already entered night, and the bright starry sky was very beautiful. Naoto and Scorpio wore Kirigakure ANBU masks and forehead protectors, looking like Kirigakure ANBU.

This was Naoto's business, but Scorpion wanted to join in the name of obtaining precious materials. In fact, both of them knew that they would not have time to catch people and make them into puppets. No one was destined to sleep tonight, so Naoto started to take action by hiding.

Breaking into the defensive area in the direction of Konoha at night.

Naoto found some information from the broken pieces of meat, and the direction in which the droplets and stitches left roughly confirmed the target. The action was very simple, attracting the attention of the Konoha troops to contain the surprise attack of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Although

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen will not thank Naoto for his help, but Naoto still has to do it.

Controlling the Boiling Ninja Puppet, a large amount of thick fog will emerge and spray along the way. In addition, the Sharingan Puppet can see the chakra flow of the human body. Any ninja who enters the thick fog will die under Naoto's sword.
