My Hidden Road

The bright light from the fire made the faces of the three people blazing red. The three of them squatted beside the fire in silence. The plan to treat the civilians was over. What should everyone do now?

"Do you two want to go home with me?" Naoto asked.

"I······"

The Buddha hesitated and glanced at Naoto, then turned to look at Jiuzuke. Naoto and Jiuzuke had already made a decision, but he was still thinking about how to bridge the gap.

"I want to continue to help them. This was my ideal when I left my hometown." Jiuzuke said bluntly.

Naoto picked up the pebbles on the ground and threw them at the Buddha: "Oh, damn fat man, what about you?"

"I······"

"Forget it, it's useless to ask." Naoto stood up and lay down in the tent and took out an oil paper bag with a wad of banknotes and a map in it.

"We are friends. We can meet again in the future, so take it."

Jiuzuke silently took the banknotes and the map, everyone knew each other very well.

"Do you really want to leave?"

Naoto stretched out and said, "It's pointless to continue asking this. We can tolerate different ideals, and I will support your actions, just like me going out to raise money for you."

"Forget it, Naoto, you have done enough for me, I'm still home!"

"There are a lot of opportunities to make money outside now. Of course I will not do anything to harm the Country of Rain. If I encounter urgently needed supplies such as medicines, I will try my best to get them."

Hatosuke is a person with ideas, but Naoto doesn't like this country because she keeps crying and is unwilling to sacrifice his life for her. Differences in ideas can be tolerated, Hatosuke is a person who is willing to take action, and Naoto is someone who dares

The people who came up with the solution, the combination of the two was always going to be good, but now it's about to fall apart.

When the differences arose that day, Naoto made the biggest concession and tried his best to tolerate them. If he had sold those gas masks at that time, Naoto might be worth a lot of money now and have more ability to do things, but such an opportunity does not come often.

Jiuzuke asked in a low voice: "When are you leaving?"

"I'll probably leave tomorrow and go back to find old man Wenmu to give him advice and make some money. This old man has a good reputation and can get you some urgent supplies from the black market."

"Okay, please."

Naoto smiled lightly: "It's not a big deal, just do your best and bring my share with you."

The three of them hugged each other, as if they were thankful that they were still alive after completing the mission. They hugged each other hard. The sound of burning firewood crackled, and the sound of rain outside could be heard.

"You must live, live." Naoto said.

"You also have to live."

The giant Buddha patted the shoulders of the two of them: "Everyone must live. Together, we must see the sun appear in the Land of Rain and see the warm sunshine spreading on this land."

Is this the ideal of the Great Buddha? This is the first time Naoto heard the ideal of the Great Buddha. It is a great ideal, as great as Hatosuke's ideal. I hope the future of this country is really what you want, and I will help you.

Everyone is a little sad when the separation is approaching. We are all human beings, and of course we all have our own ideas. Naoto really wants to help Hatosuke and Daibutsu, but there is no soil for him to survive. A liar should live in a place with many people, so that he can have more opportunities.

Plenty of opportunities, nothing to cheat here.

It was still dark when Naoto left, and the Buddha was still sleeping. He put on his shoes, gear and forehead protector quietly, and finally put on his raincoat. Naoto left the house. Hearing the sound of raindrops falling away, he lay down

The eyes of the giant Buddha in the tent were moist, but Jiuzuke was nowhere to be seen in the tent.

Jiuzuke was waiting for him outside, holding an umbrella and standing by the roadside waiting for Naoto's arrival. Naoto saw Jiuzuke waiting for him to stop, hoping that he would not persuade him to stay here.

"I'll give it to you."

"oh."

The two walked side by side in the drizzle. They escaped from the battlefield together, worked together to fill their stomachs, and now they were separated again.

"I'm really sorry for wasting so much of your time. To be honest, I really want to continue living the same life as before with you, Naoto. It would be great to be carefree, but this country is crying."

Naoto shook his head: "Don't be sorry, I don't have the same awareness as you. It's fine to be alone. I used to live alone. One person can eat enough and the whole family is not hungry. There is no need to prepare more food for five people."

"Five people?" Jiuzuke was confused.

"The Big Buddha alone has to eat enough for three people."

"Hahaha, the Buddha will definitely be very angry if he finds out. Naoto, you are going too far."

Naoto smiled bitterly and said: "Fortunately, the Buddha is not here, otherwise he would definitely be motivated to lose weight. To be honest, the Buddha eats too much. Sometimes I feel sad when I see the empty rice bags."

"I want to complain to the Buddha."

"But!" Naoto laughed and said, "Ahem! And but, you can't distort the facts to confuse the public. I haven't said but yet."

"But the Big Buddha also does the most things. He cooks and chops firewood every morning. In order not to disturb our sleep, he always waits until we fall asleep. But I go to bed very late every night. After I leave, the Big Buddha can have a good sleep.

"

Naoto continued: "And you, Jisuke, please control your temper sometimes and don't paint your face all over in order to show how powerful you are. You are as pretty as a woman, and both Daibutsu and I know it."

"You look like a woman!" Jiuzuke was very angry when his background was revealed.

"Look, I just said you should control your temper."

"Who would restrain their temper if you say that?"

Naoto sighed: "Then don't say anything, just send it here. I have to walk the rest of the way by myself, and you have a long way to go too."

"I'm sending you a section."

Naoto held Kitosuke's arms and shook his head, and then the two of them bumped fists. The scene of their first meeting was still vivid in their minds.

"Send it here. Please help those injured to pay attention and don't let their wounds come into contact with water."

"Know."

Even though Jiuzuke is reluctant to leave you, he can't stop him. Naoto is destined not to belong here, and he can't show his talents here. Maybe Jiuzuke will leave here in the end, because the same village is in the rain.

There are many, many more countries.

Naoto left, disappearing alone in the rain. There were three people when they came, but he was the only one when they left. Naoto was never angry, because Jiuzuke and Daibutsu loved this land deeply.

In the drizzle, Naoto's steps were extremely difficult. He wondered whether there would be a chance to reunite after this separation, and whether Jiosuke and Daibutsu could escape their fate.

Are the people who passed by each other involved? The passing by Yahiko and the three of them is deeply imprinted in Naoto's heart. Is it really fate?

Naoto has a new goal: to earn his one billion first, and then use the money to purchase supplies for Hato and help them realize their ideals. The advantage of being a rain nin is that no one cares about it. As long as you don't meet certain people, there is basically no need.

People make trouble for themselves, after all, Yugakure does not have an ANBU department.
