My Hidden Road

Naoto's serious words were different from the way he treated her before. He was a wandering ninja who was driven out of the country and could be executed as a spy at any time during this war period.

"You are a big idiot!" The little girl yelled at Naoto and ran away, looking frustrated.

"Smelly girl, be careful and I'll beat your ass to pieces!"

Naoto cursed and then lowered his head to pick up the wild fruits on the ground. Several fruits were smashed. He picked up the fruits and wiped them on his sleeves. Naoto took a bite and it was crisp and delicious. Although he was not very hungry, he was still full.

abdomen.

Sitting by the river, Naoto ate several fruits before he felt full. He put the remaining two fruits into the satchel around his waist and continued walking along the river bank. The destination was unknown, and when he walked was unknown.

, like a headless fly.

After walking for two or three hours, a dam with a huge drop blocked the river. There are many canyons and mountains in Kawakuni, so building a dam is a very good policy. There is a road next to the dam, and it is not far away along the road.

In a village, the water supply and development of the village completely depend on the dam.

I wonder if that little girl will be here. Naoto stood on the embankment next to the dam and felt the magnificence of the mountains and rivers. The water flow with a huge drop produced a large number of water molecules visible to the naked eye, and the rainbow also appeared very beautiful.

Two small black spots suddenly appeared on the dam. Naoto stood on his tiptoes and looked. The two small black spots became bigger and bigger. It turned out that they were two ninjas fighting on the dam. From the color of their vests, one could tell that one was a wooden

One of Ye's jounin is a Sunagakure ninja. What are they doing fighting here?

Before Naoto could take a closer look at their appearance, a white light flashed from the hand of the Konoha jounin, and the Sunagakure ninja fell into the deep canyon. Basically, the Konoha jounin completely suppressed the Sunagakure ninja.

.

The Jounin of Konoha seemed to have noticed Naoto and walked towards him. When he reached a certain distance, Naoto realized who it was. He had white hair tied into a ponytail and a short blade flashed in the sunlight.

white light.

"We meet again. The last time we met was in the Land of Rain a few months ago. You won't tell me this is a coincidence, right?"

Naoto didn't know how to answer for a moment, and he seemed to see Naoto's nervousness, and smiled and retracted the white short blade.

"Why are you not in the Country of Rain but coming to the Country of Sichuan? Are you on a mission?"

"No, I was ostracized and kicked out of the Rain Country." Naoto answered truthfully.

"oh?"

Hatake Sakumo smiled slightly: "Forget it, it's fate that we meet again. Young man, I'll give you a piece of advice. Leave here and go anywhere. This place may become a battlefield."

It's this sentence again. Yakura said it to him at the beginning, and now Sakumo also said it to Naoto. No matter where you go, where else can you go if you hide in this remote city? There is no one in the world war.

The area is safe.

"Are you going to blow up this dam?"

"Why do you think so?" Hatake Sakumo asked playfully.

Naoto stumbled and said: "This dam is related to the safety of the villages in the entire river basin. The upstream areas will decline because there is no water source, and the downstream areas will be affected by floods."

"No, I was ordered to protect this dam. Well, your curiosity should be satisfied, leave here."

"Yeah?"

Naoto bowed to Sakumo and then turned and left, disappearing into the dense forest road.

Looking at the majestic dam and the rippling water, Sakumo smiled. It's such a good place. After finishing the mission, he must go to the hot spring bath shop for a while. I heard that the hot springs here are very famous. Suddenly, there was a rustle in the jungle behind him.

There was a sound, and Sakumo alertly pulled out the White Fang short blade behind his shoulder.

A dirty little face was revealed, followed by the neck, hands and feet. It turned out to be a child. Sakumo shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was really too naive. Judging from the child's clothes and appearance, he should be a war orphan. Sakumo took back his white teeth again.

The short blade squatted down and reached out to wipe the child's face.

"Where are your parents?"

The child replied in a childish voice: "They are all dead."

"I am sorry."

Sakumo focused his attention on the wild fruit in the child's hand. The fruit was obviously still green, but the child had bitten into a small piece. Sakumo thought of his son who was just born at home and showed pity on his face. He took out a piece of oiled paper from the satchel on his waist.

The wrapped cake was handed to her.

Seeing the child wolfing down the food, Sakumo wiped her face clean with a handkerchief. When the dirt was gone, a delicate and cute little face appeared. She was still a girl.

"Everyone in the family is gone, it's really pitiful..."

After struggling for a moment, Sakumo asked softly: "How about going home with uncle? There is a place where you can live a good life. Do you want to go with uncle?"

"Can you learn to kill?" The little girl said in a childish voice that Sakumo couldn't believe.

"ah?"

The little girl said seriously: "I want to learn to kill people so that he won't dislike me and won't scold me for being useless."

"Who scolded you?" Sakumo explained patiently: "Children, don't talk about beatings and killings. It's very impolite. Uncle will take you to a place where you can live safely. You will like that place.

of."

"I'll do it if I can learn how to kill."

"Who is that person? Why do you want to learn those bloody things?"

The little girl lowered her head and shed tears: "I don't even know his name, but he saved my life. I haven't said thank you to him yet..."

"There will be opportunities in the future, but it's better for girls not to be exposed to those messy things. Uncle will take you to a place where you can start a new life."

Sakumo stretched out his broad and thick palms and showed a kind smile. The little girl stared at Sakumo with big bright eyes and timidly held his two fingers, just like Naoto held her hand before. The little girl still hasn't figured it out yet.

Why would Naoto hold his hand for the first time, but then drive him away in the end?

"What's your name? My uncle's name is Sakumo."

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment: "It seems to be Xiao Qianqianxia, ​​that should be her name."

"Oh, Chinatsu?"

"Yes, Chinatsu."

Sakumo gently stroked Chinatsu's messy hair: "Then uncle will call you Xiaoxia from now on. If you don't like it, you can call you Chinatsu. I think Chinatsu is a nice name after all."

"Uncle Sakumo."

"Um?"

Qianxia said proudly: "That man can also release floods. Many people can't defeat him. I also saw him turn into a stone. He is very powerful."

"Oh, really? Then he should be a ninja, and a very powerful ninja. Chinatsu said many people can't beat him."

"It's really amazing, I saw it, and he saved many people, many, many more!" Qianxia said seriously.

Sakumo followed Chinatsu's words and praised him: "Really? Then he must be a powerful ninja with a sense of justice. No wonder Chinatsu cares about him so much."
