My Hidden Road

Naoto tiptoed to the muddy door, pulled the door handle, and locked the door.

"The door is locked. You've wasted your efforts."

"What would a thief do if the door is not locked? Go and see if the window is locked."

Following Naoto's instructions, Hatosuke walked around the house and walked to the window to see if it was unlocked. The owner of the house carefully locked the door and windows when he left.

Returning to the door, Kosuke saw Naoto lying on the keyhole poking something with a small wire. He stretched his neck to watch, and spoke quietly.

"Naoto, where did you learn this from? It seems like you are a habitual offender."

The sudden voice of Hatosuke almost startled Naoto, but he still did not change his professional habit. Leaning against the door, Naoto patted his chest and felt uneasy, and the small wire in his hand fell to the ground.

"Didn't I ask you to check if the window is locked?"

Jiuzuke picked up the wire and poked it into the keyhole. He was wondering how this thing could open the door. "Look, it's all locked."

"Go away and give me the stuff."

Naoto took the thin wire from Hato's assistant, rolled it into a small loop, and stuffed it into the keyhole. There was a "click" sound, and Hatosuke was stunned. He didn't expect Naoto to have such a method, and he would never have to worry about food and clothing again.

"Isn't it awesome?"

Jiuzuke nodded: "Awesome, awesome, can you teach me?"

"It is an exclusive skill that is never passed on to anyone else, and it is passed down to men, not women."

"How serious is this little trick of stealing?" Hatosuke looked at Naoto with disdain, then twisted the door handle, opened the door and walked in.

Naoto raised his middle finger at Hatosuke's back. If you don't have your own tricks, you're going to starve. He glanced around at the dark surroundings outside. Naoto held the door handle and gently closed the door. What is professionalism? This is called professionalism.

.

Naoto's eyes turned black as soon as he entered the door. He quickly stepped up and turned off the light. Naoto kicked Hatosuke who turned on the light.

"You are a thief now, not a bandit. You can't turn on the light when you are a thief. Do you know that when you are in love, you are in love?"

Jiuzuke wondered: "How can you see without turning on the light? The room is so dark?"

"You don't know how to close the curtains and find a candle. You are so stupid."

"But how can I find a candle if I don't turn on the light?"

Naoto jumped up and gave him a chestnut, "You're so stupid that you won't sleep here again. There's no one here anyway. Wait until daybreak before you do anything. Leave tomorrow night?"

"That's right."

Hatosuke scratched his head and smiled stupidly, then lay down directly on the floor and fell asleep on the sofa in the living room. Naoto rummaged around the house and found a few quilts in a cabinet. He threw one to Hatosuke and wrapped himself in the quilt.

Go to sleep. Naoto has been sleeping in a damp and dark cave for the past two days, and Naoto feels that the moisture is almost entering the bones of his body.

The next day.

It was still raining outside, so Hatosuke stood up and saw Naoto lying on the ground with his ear to his ears, holding a kunai in his hand and tapping it gently on the ground. He also lay on the ground and listened. The ground was still as cold as before, no different.

"Naoto, what are you doing?"

"Shh~~~"

Naoto put his index finger to his mouth to signal Hatosuke to be quiet, and then he continued to lie on the floor and hit the ground with the round handle of the kunai. Naoto slowly crawled to a corner, and was blocked by a wooden cabinet. Hatosuke came over and talked to Naoto

We moved the wooden cabinets together, and there were signs of knocking on the floor underneath.

"What?"

"You see that this village is so rich that it can afford bread, and most of the villagers are old people and children. Young people are rare. Someone from outside must have sent food and money to the families in the village."

Jiosuke: "How did you know?"

"Nonsense." Naoto pried the floor and said: "Why didn't the young people in the chaos of the war leave with their families? Then the young people in this village must be working somewhere, and after we showed up, Rain Ninja came to prove that they

We attach great importance to the village.”

"Then how do you know there's something hidden here?"

Naoto was too lazy to explain. "If you have a lot of valuable things, and there happen to be rain ninjas nearby, will you take them with you or hide them somewhere?"

"Of course I'm hiding it, Yu Ren doesn't have any good things."

"Brother, the rain ninja forehead protector is still on our heads, can you please be more careful when you speak?"

Jiuzuke impatiently pried open the floor: "Let's see what valuable things are inside first. I must eat a lot of delicious food this time."

The floor was pried open by the two of them, and a wooden box appeared in front of them. Hatosuke wanted to take a look, but Naoto waved his hand away before he could touch the wooden box.

"Be careful, it might be dangerous."

"What danger could there be?"

"It's better to be safe, otherwise it won't be worth it if you don't die on the battlefield but accidentally leave while stealing something."

Naoto gently picked up the wooden box and placed it on the floor. The kunai blade scratched the joints of the wooden box. After confirming that there was no danger, Naoto opened the wooden box. When Kosuke saw the contents inside, he burst into laughter and was immediately covered by Naoto.

Mouth.

"We are thieves, not bandits."

Jiuzuke begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, this is really funny, hahaha."

Naoto picked up the two bottles of wine in the wooden box. He thought that there would be some treasure or money hidden there, but he didn't know that it was just two bottles of wine. He was so frightened that he lay on the ground and beat the ground.

It took more than an hour to find two bottles of wine, which was really unlucky.

"Don't be discouraged, Naoto, your ability is worthy of recognition, but you are not very lucky, hahaha."

"Shut up, you!"

Close the wooden box and take away even the wine. The thief will not fail and the rules must be observed. During the day, there was no one in the village. Naoto and Jiosuke were rummaging around in the house, and Jiuzuke was the first to wake up.

He just needs to change into a pair of trousers, his original trousers have a too boyish smell.

The owner of the house didn't seem to be in a hurry when he left. He left the house after tidying up everything. Naoto found a photo on the bedside table in a room. It should be the owner's family. The family of three were smiling very happily in the photo.

.

The two of them found some suitable bedding, clothes and rain gear in the house. Without rain gear, they would become wet as soon as they went out, and the weather in the Land of Rain was destined to be uncomfortable all day long.

When night fell at night, Naoto and Hatosuke waited until the early morning before leaving, delivering the necessary items to the cave in several batches. The cave was just a temporary residence, and the cave was too small and not deep. Naoto planned to find a deeper cave.

This way you won't attract attention, and caves like this are easy to find in the Land of Rain.

This time the two of them had a comfortable place to rest. They lay in the warm bed and chatted about their daily necessities. Clothes and housing were basically solved, but in the past two days, Naoto and Hatosuke had only eaten a piece of bread, and their stomachs were very early.

So hungry.

"Tomorrow we will split up and help you find a safer cave to use as your new base. I always feel that this place is not normal. It would be best to leave here as soon as possible."

"Food is hard to come by, can you do it?"

Naoto smiled: "Men can't say no."
