My Hidden Road

The next day.

Something big happened today. Konohagakure Village won a great victory on the Iwagakure Battlefield and the Sunagakure Battlefield. The Iwagakure Village was unable to initiate a war after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge. After surviving for a year, it agreed to sign an armistice agreement, and the Sunagakure Village

In the Battle of Platycodon Mountain, more than 10,000 troops were lost, and they finally surrendered and sent people to negotiate peace.

The entire Konoha Village was cheering. The Konoha Hidden Village, which had been dead due to the war, ushered in an atmosphere unique to the festival. There were more ninjas on the streets overnight, although they were all injured and tired.

Naoto walked down the street, Mao Cun behind him.

“It’s very lively and really nice.”

"Yes!" Ura said sympathetically: "If this trend continues, the war will be over. Thanks to Namikaze Minato-sama, he defeated Iwagakure Village and prevented Kumogakure from invading."

"You like him very much?"

"Nani?"

Naoto joked: "Women like to worship strong men, and I heard that Namikaze Minato-sama is a handsome man. Don't you imagine that one day the boy you like will be a hero who saves the village?"

"boring!"

Mao simply turned her head away from communicating with Naoto. The girl had imagined that the boy she liked was a hero who saved the building from collapse, and then he would take her into his arms and they would become a loving couple.

"Hahaha." Naoto said with a smile: "I just said that I like you. Admiration is also a kind of liking. Lord Uo is not asking for it. I suggest that you don't carry out such personal surveillance tasks in the future."

"You are such a bastard! At first, I thought you were a friendly person, but now it seems that you are very good at exploring other people's thoughts."

"There's nothing we can do!"

"Are you going to start quibbling again?"

Naoto smiled bitterly and said: "A spy like me is always on the verge of death. He must not only detect information but also save his own life. These are learned on the edge of life and death. I believe you don't want to learn my spy skills.

"

"I really don't want to."

While the two were chatting, a burst of exclamations suddenly broke out among the people celebrating the victory, and then everyone took a breath. The villagers on the street gathered in a small circle, not knowing what they were looking at.

"Someone is dead, someone has been killed!" the onlookers shouted, and more people came to watch.

Deaths occur at a festival celebrating victory. As a bystander and an ANBU employee, Uo is the first to bear the brunt, but she seems hesitant because her task is to monitor Naoto.

After struggling for a moment, Mao decided to maintain order. "You stand here and don't move, otherwise you know the consequences. Do you understand?"

"Of course." Naoto smiled slightly.

I saw Mao making a gesture to the residential building next to the street, and then turned around to check. More and more people were watching, and it took a lot of effort for Mao to squeeze in.

Naoto looked up at the residential building just now. The gesture he just made should be to tell another companion who was monitoring him. Sure enough, in Naoto's eyes there was an ANBU wearing an animal mask, standing unexpectedly on the roof of the residential building.

Looking into his eyes, a passing villager accidentally touched Naoto, staggered and fell to the ground. Naoto was also hit but did not fall. Seeing that the person who bumped into him was a young girl, Naoto reluctantly

He reached out to help, and then a note was stuffed in his hand.

Helping the girl up, Naoto looked away but did not show any strange expression. The girl left, and Naoto consciously stood aside to prevent being hit by pedestrians again. In just two minutes, a ninja with the Konoha Guards logo on his sleeves

Arrive, Mao, who is an Anbu, is freed.

Naoto saw her and asked: "How is it?"

"It's not a homicide, it's an accident. The injured person was an old man who suffered a myocardial infarction."

"Is there any hope?"

Mao shook his head: "There are no vital signs. You were not standing here just now. You need to explain."

"Um...um..." Naoto yawned and pointed to the crowd and said, "If I stand on the road and get in the way, the villagers will accidentally bump into me. In fact, a villager did accidentally hit me just now.

He hit me. I think it’s better to stand aside so as not to hinder pedestrians from passing by. What do you think?”

"I will investigate clearly."

"Whatever." Naoto shrugged.

"······"

A small accident during the celebration does not hinder the villagers' carnival. It only makes them cry with joy, become extremely happy and sad, return to the pure land, and finally lead to death due to excessive excitement.

Because many ninjas suddenly appeared on the street, Naoto felt uninterested in the unkind eyes of others. He was followed by an ANBU who had a high rate of turning heads. If he was not the Hokage, then the ANBU behind him must be performing a mission, and there must be something wrong with him.

The high return rate was also a problem. Naoto didn't have the heart to watch the tsunami of cheers from those people, and returned to his temporary apartment sickly.

He took out the key and opened the door. Just as Naoto was about to open the door and enter, Uo seemed to have received some message and nodded to the empty woods opposite. Naoto was keenly aware that the top of a tree in the woods opposite was not very clear.

It felt strange, as if something had stepped on it. The tops of the nearby trees moved with the wind, but the top of this tree did not move at all.

"Sorry, routine inspection." Mao said.

"Ah? Oh."

Naoto raised his hands and put them against the wall, spread his legs and faced the wall. He searched Naoto's whole body very carefully, even his private parts. As long as Naoto was not embarrassed, no one would see her embarrassment while wearing a mask.

.

"Is it okay?"

Mao took two steps back and said, "It's okay, please forgive me."

"It's okay, just be gentle next time. By the way, can you please get me some milk?"

"Okay, but why?"

"I haven't slept very well these past few nights. I would like to drink a cup of hot milk at night. This request is not too much, right?" Naoto's earnest gaze made Mao unable to refuse, and the reason was quite sufficient.

"Can."

"Thank you." After saying this, Naoto pushed the door open and closed the door tightly.

The door was closed, and Naoto was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and resting, ignoring what was going on outside the window, but he was wondering in his heart. If she came to contact him, then Danzo must have known that he had come to Konoha Hidden Village, but what was written on the note?

"Dong dong dong~~~"

Naoto stood up and opened the door. There were several cartons of milk at the door.

"The milk you asked for cannot be cooked over a fire according to regulations, so we didn't provide you with kitchen utensils. Please forgive me."

Naoto took the milk and said it didn't matter. "It's great to be treated like this. Thank you very much."

"You're welcome."

Closing the door again, Naoto turned his head and tore open a carton of milk and poured it into his mouth.

The digestion time of fresh fruits is 30 minutes to 1 hour; the digestion time of vegetables is about 45 minutes to 2 hours; the digestion time of milk is one hour to four hours. There should be still time to save.

It had been less than half an hour since he had swallowed the note, so it probably hadn't been completely digested yet. He poured himself two cartons of milk, walked into the bathroom and started to induce vomiting, digging his fingers into his esophagus.

"Ugh~~~"

Soon the milk he had just drank was spit out, along with a small paper ball. He wiped the stains on the corners of his mouth with his sleeves and then gently opened the paper ball.

:The game starts, you now have two hours to find a way to escape from the village, otherwise you will be arrested by the Anbu.

It’s getting more and more interesting. What does she want to do to get herself out of Konoha Hidden Village? A pig-like woman is simply a fool. You know how I am a spy at the root, so what if I have my personal file? Just come if you dare.

Know the consequences.

After swallowing the paper ball again, Naoto rinsed his mouth, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
