My Hidden Road

Returning to Amegakure Village again, Naoto is now a chuunin captain of the Amegakure Village patrol force. He has been promoted to chunin. He can almost kill Shinta, a veteran chuunin, with one against two, so he deserves to be promoted.

He's a chuunin, but he's still a little less than a close confidant like Shinta and Oya.

Returning to the familiar streets, Naoto is now the patrol leader in charge of the area 'A' in Yuyin Village. The area in Yuyin Village is divided into four parts: A, B, C and D. Area 'A' includes area C, which Naoto was previously responsible for, and also includes ab.

There are three patrol teams in the two areas.

Holding an umbrella in his hand, the shops on the street were still scattered as before. There was a shop selling steamed buns at the corner of the street. The owner was a beautiful-looking woman. Naoto took out a small note from his pocket.

I bought two meat buns. I have been craving for the meat buns here for a long time, and today I finally got my wish.

Walking to a familiar shop, it was opened for the first time in a long time. Naoto remembered that the boss had returned to the countryside, didn't he?

Throwing the ninja sword on the counter, Naoto whistled inside uninhibitedly.

"Boss, get some food."

"No more, really no more at all..." The old man's face was as depressed as a bitter gourd, and he was stunned when he saw Naoto.

Naoto joked: "What? You don't know me. I originally wanted to pay you back, but I guess I won't."

"Who are you?"

"Naoto Sekikawa, I often came here two years ago to ask you for food without paying for it. Do you still remember me?"

The old man walked out of the counter, stared at Naoto, and made an unbelievable sound. "It's really you. I thought you were here but not alive. The patrol officers here are constantly changing. Too many people have been changed."

"He's still alive, and he's still responsible for patrolling this area."

"It's great. It's good to be alive." The old man held Naoto's arm and walked into the store: "Since it's good to be alive, I'll treat you to a meal this time, so you can eat it freely."

Naoto declined the old man's invitation and took out a few thousand taels of banknotes from his pocket and placed them on the table in the shop, which surprised the boss.

"I was once under your care. If it weren't for you, I would have starved to death on the street. At that time, I said that I would pay you back the food money when I got rich. Now I am here to fulfill my promise. And I am now the patrol leader of this area.

He's not that little gangster who got promoted and made a fortune."

"Okay, okay, okay."

The old man picked up the banknotes on the table, his palms trembling slightly, and said three good words in succession. "It's good to be able to survive and get rich. It's very good. Have you eaten? If not, I will prepare it for you."

"No need." Naoto picked up the meat bun in his hand and smiled.

Saying goodbye to his boss, Naoto walked towards his former home. Turning two street corners, Naoto saw his former home in the wind and rain, but now it was a married woman with an owner.

The lights were on in the cabin, and Naoto walked over and stood by the window to look out. It turned out that two homeless kids were occupying the cabin. The two skinny kids were huddled under the quilt, and the roof was still leaking from the rain. Naoto left

When I got outside, I thought for a moment and then pushed the wooden door open.

"who?"

"Ninja?"

Naoto put down the bun in his hand: "Don't worry, I am the former owner of this place. I just came back to take a look."

The older boy bowed to Naoto and said, "Ninja-sama, I'm sorry for breaking in here. We're leaving here right away. Please wait a moment."

"No, you continue to live here, I'm just coming back to take a look."

After touching the bedding, which was as cold as iron, Naoto bent down and took out a wooden board from under the bed under the watchful eyes of the two brats, then walked out of the house and jumped onto the roof, holding the wooden board and gesturing at the leaking area.

"Hey, what's your name?"

The boy responded hurriedly: "Xinghe, this is my brother Taro."

"Xinghe, there is a small iron box on the wooden board under the bed. There are iron nails in it. Give me a few."

"OK."

Fortunately, Mali ran into the house and found it in the wooden board under the bed. Sure enough, I found a small iron box, and took out a few rusty iron nails from it to the straight person.

Finish.

"Thank you so much, thank you very much."

Naoto shook his head and said with a smile: "You should take good care of your brother and don't let him die."

"Okay." Xing He nodded seriously.

After looking at the two little ghosts, Naoto walked out of the wooden house and left. There are many such little ghosts in the Land of Rain. As long as the Land of Rain cannot stop crying, there will be more children like this.

Naoto left, but Yukiwa and his brother were in a daze at the steamed buns on the table. They both swallowed at the same time. After confirming that Naoto had left and couldn't catch up, Yukiwa carefully picked up the steamed buns on the table.

"Can I have one?"

Xinghe said tangledly: "This belongs to that adult, and he also helped us repair the leaky roof. This house also belongs to him."

"Can't you?" Taro lowered his head in despair.

"Eat it!"

Yukiwa gritted his teeth and said: "In the worst case, we will repay his kindness twice as long as we are still alive. Do you remember Taro?"

"Uh huh huh!"

The younger brother was too young to care about what his elder brother said about repayment. Now he only wanted to use steamed buns to fill his hungry belly. There were two steamed buns left, but Xinghe did not eat them, but gave them to his younger brother.

One and keep the rest.

"Brother, there is still meat!"

"Well, be good and eat slowly."

Xinghe swallowed and looked away from his brother's mouth, thinking about how to repay this kindness in the future, if he could repay it.

Leaving the former log cabin, Naoto walked on the street. The tall towers surrounding him entered the clouds and guided lightning to strike lightning rods to prevent accidents.

Holding an umbrella, Naoto walked along the exposed steps towards a high tower, stopped outside an iron door, and then pushed open the iron door. The room was bustling with people, and a dozen or so people were sitting in groups around the fire playing cards.

Nonsense, he was very unhappy when he saw the iron door being pushed open by Naoto.

"Hey! Who are you? Do you know where this place is?" A rain ninja with a head full of scars said displeasedly.

Naoto walked into the house and took back his umbrella: "The office of the village patrol unit."

"Asshole, you know how dare you come here?"

Pulling out the ninja sword from his back, Naoto walked up to the rain ninja with a chilling smile. All the rain ninjas around him were uneasy.

"I am Naoto Segawa, the newly appointed captain of the patrol force. I will be responsible for commanding you scum from now on. Don't even think about Shinta or those two bastards from Oya saying bad things about me, because they can't control so much now. I almost came a few days ago.

Kill them!"

Naoto put the ninja sword on the neck of the rain ninja whose head was full of scars: "I used to be a scum like you, but I survived and am now your captain. If you think I am young and unconvinced, you can challenge me.

I, but do you know whether you live or die?"

"Idiot, when will it be your turn to speak here?"

Suddenly, a rain ninja behind Naoto suddenly rose up, raised his ninja sword and struck at him. Pulling out the ribs hidden in his raincoat, Naoto blocked the attacker's blade, then raised the long sword in his right hand and struck at him.

, sparks shot out at the person on the opposite side, who struggled to block, Naoto stepped forward and sent his left hand's ribs into his abdomen, twisting the handle of the knife, the rain ninja fell down.

Turning around and pointing his sword at the rain ninja whose head was covered with scars, Naoto smiled slightly: "I'm done. Who agrees and who disagrees? I promise to treat you fairly."

"I agree, I agree." Yu Ren, whose head was covered with scars, glanced at his companion lying in a pool of blood and raised his hands.

"I agree too."

"Agree."

"······"

Naoto looked at these scum with disgust. These were 'materials' that could be destroyed at any time. Although he shouldn't look at them like this, they were parasites living in this country.
