My Hidden Road

"I remember that when I left here some time ago, there were not so many shops. Where did they move from?"

"next door."

"What?"

Boss Yiga wrapped the fried rice in egg skin: "Because there are no ninjas here to deliberately collect protection fees, so they came. There are more than a dozen ninjas in the jurisdiction of Mr. Shinta next door. The vendors really can't stand it.

come here."

"It's that simple?"

"I heard that this is the case, but I don't know much about it either."

Naoto looked weird as he was eating omelette rice, and he just came here so easily. It seemed that he had to find a few subordinates to help manage this area, and maybe use it to collect protection money.

"Naoto-sama, this is for this month." Before Naoto's thoughts could arise, Boss Yiga took out a few thousand ryo bills and put them on the table.

Ha, there really is a protection fee, this is really steampunk.

Picking up a few banknotes on the table and looking at them, Naoto slapped the money on the table: "I don't charge protection fees. You just need to pay taxes to Hanzo-sama on time. There will also be a boy cleaning up with his younger brother recently.

Trash can, give me something to eat when you meet me, and tell the vendors not to dislike people because they are dirty. I know how to be careful."

"You really don't want it?"

"don't want."

Naoto took a big mouthful of fried rice and said: "Those who collect protection fees are gangsters. I am a serious chuunin captain of Amegakure Village. If I want to collect protection fees, I also collect garbage disposal fees and market management fees."

"Isn't this asking for money?" Boss Yiga quickly figured out the relationship.

"I get paid to hire homeless people to help sweep the floor and take out the trash. You think I'm one of those bastards, and I don't like this kind of money."

"really!"

Boss Yiga said in a very affirmative tone: "Naoto-sama still dislikes the lack of money. This is really embarrassing!"

"ha?"

After finishing the omelette rice, Naoto didn't intend to talk nonsense with this bad old man. In fact, it doesn't matter how much or how little money he has. People in this world are really not polite. If you refuse a few more times, I might just take it. Really.

After making the arrangements, Naoto just needs to wait quietly for the spy to reveal himself. Hanzo, the leader of Yuyin Village, is still thinking about it. I really don’t know when he will think about it. Maybe he will do it while he is thinking about it.

It never happened.

Holding up an umbrella, Naoto left his jurisdiction and prepared to find a place to practice. To have an immortal body, you can't be as stupid as Hidan. Practicing ninjutsu and swordsmanship is the right way, and immortality can only be used as a last resort.

There is a lake outside Yuyin Village that will never be full and is bottomless. Water from the surrounding mountains will flow into the lake, and the training place Naoto is looking for is naturally a river flowing into the lake.

Stepping on the flowing water can further hone your ability to control chakra, allowing your body to adapt to the surrounding environment and allocate the most reasonable chakra battle.

Swordsmanship: One Slash has been practiced to a certain extent. The power of this technique should be C level, but the difficulty of training has reached B level, and there is room for further improvement. The last battle with Gan Yu, Oya and Shinta inspired Naoto deeply, and he

The speed of one slash is slow, so it can be used by surprise when facing evenly matched enemies, but it is not suitable for more than two people.

Naoto wants to practice the follow-up moves of "One Slash" so that "One Slash" can continue to slash. Naoto believes that the most powerful swordsmanship is not a certain move, but exists in ordinary slashes. How to make "One Slash" become more powerful?

It's not like a move, but a random sword strike. This is the purpose of Naoto's training.

Naoto honed his footwork and chakra on the flowing water. Standing on the river, Naoto kept using his chops, trying to find the next step through constant training.

Naoto kept swinging the blade, thinking about going faster, faster, faster every time. There were several times when the speed was too fast and he couldn't hold the handle of the sword. The sharp blade made several wounds on his arm.

Put away the sword, form a seal with both hands to use the technique of instantaneous body, then draw the sword and slash, then slash again, and continue to slash. Such a high-intensity practice made Naoto exhausted after only half a day. He lay next to the river bank and his whole body ached, and Naoto's palms

Because I have developed calluses from practicing swordsmanship for a long time over the years.

After practicing for a day, Naoto became slightly enlightened. He had already learned Hanzo's sword skill, One Flash, from Gan Yu, which was to hit the enemy with the blade while moving quickly to cause damage. Because of his high speed, he couldn't make too many moves.

However, my own swordsmanship and one-cut speed is relatively slow, and I can stop in an instant and attack the enemy twice, which has a sense of surprise that is difficult to prevent. Perhaps I can integrate the two into one, and use Yan Hui to dodge and then connect with one slash,

Achieve the concept of unexpected and extremely fast speed.

Naoto has made up his mind and is ready to practice Yan Hui. As the name suggests, Yan Hui can change the trajectory of the knife at will like the flying swallows in the sky, thus cutting down the flying swallows in the sky that change their trajectories at will.

Back home, Hanzo still had no news, neither saying whether he would sever ties with Konoha, nor whether he would continue to wage war against Sunagakure, Iwagakure and the Iron Country.

For three days in a row, Naoto practiced Yan Hui, attacking with a dodge, Yan Hui followed by a slash, and then again dodged, Yan Hui, and slashed. Attacking in turns, the attack speed is endless, and the attack methods are difficult to guard against and ponder.

, such swordsmanship is enough to reach the A-level standard. As for swordsmanship at the S-level training level, it has not yet appeared in the ninja world.

Naoto, who was soaked and tired, dragged his exhausted body to the wooden house of the two brothers. As soon as he walked in, Naoto felt something different. This familiar and unfamiliar small wooden house became warm. It was literally warm. There were very few inside the house.

warm.

There was an extra stove in the simple hut, and two sweet potatoes were placed on it, emitting an alluring aroma. This might be the dinner for the two brothers. Naoto stretched out his hand and sat by the stove to warm himself, and after a few minutes, he was relieved.

Taro walked into the house and immediately closed the door when he saw Naoto coming here.

"Sir, you asked me to pay attention to items with cosmetic fragrance. I collected them all. Do you want to see them?"

"All collected?"

Xinghe nodded, bent down and pushed out from under the table a wooden box that he had built himself. There were neatly placed some paper balls, strips of cloth, napkins and other things, as well as some bottles and cans.

Naoto bent down and looked in the wooden box for white cosmetic oil, which was most likely used to apply cosmetics such as skin. In order to identify Naoto, he even picked up the paper napkins used by others and smelled them. To ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Naoto

There is no shame in these things, as long as the root spy can be found.

"And the trash cans you asked me to pay attention to. There are several trash cans that don't have much garbage in them. I wonder if this matter is important?"

“Not much trash?”

Naoto threw the tissue that the woman wiped her lips with on the ground. How could he almost forget this important intelligence channel? The trash can he used to transmit intelligence was rarely used. If there was trash left in it, it was probably thrown by the spy.

.

"Turn left three streets from Sifang Street. Do you remember what kind of garbage you found in that empty trash can?" Naoto asked loudly, holding Yukiwa's shoulders.

"Turn left and take the third street, there is an empty trash can..."

Xinghe nodded dullly: "It was the first time you told me about this three days ago. In the afternoon, I took Taro to pick up garbage. I remember that there was very little garbage in the trash can, only one garbage bag.

"

"What kind of garbage bag is it?"
