My Hidden Road

Yuyin Village, Naoto's home.

Jiuzuke dejectedly told the reason why the two came here. In the past two years, they had been helping civilians in the border area, accepting some cheap tasks from civilians, helping to eliminate bandits and catch bandits.

But the good times didn't last long. Since last month, many Iwagakure ninjas have appeared on the border. As soon as they met, they started killing without saying a word. Many villages they helped were wiped out, and they also narrowly escaped death. Under Daibutsu's suggestion

I came down to Yuyin Village and wanted to borrow some money from someone I knew before and tell this information to Yuyin's senior management.

Naoto stroked his chin that had not yet grown a beard and said: "I know more about this matter. I can tell you responsibly that these things were all done by Danzo of Konoha Village. Now all countries are ready to put aside their disputes and join forces to attack

Fire Nation."

"Konoha Village?" Hatosuke was a little surprised.

"Yes, Konoha's high-ranking Danzo."

"I didn't expect that the Konoha Ninja Village prides itself on justice and has a good reputation in the ninja world, but they would actually do such a despicable thing."

Naoto looked at Jiosuke alertly: "Have you ever had contact with people from Konoha Village?"

"Ah? This..." Jiuzuke hesitated and refused to answer.

"Big Buddha!"

"ha?"

"Aren't you even willing to tell me?" Naoto was very angry.

The Great Buddha glanced at Jisuke timidly, and then said truthfully: "We did meet some Konoha ninjas in the past two years. They did not attack us and even gave us help."

"never mind."

Naoto said seriously: "Don't solidify the image of a ninja village. This will only kill you. Now that I am no longer what I used to be, will you come and help me?"

"I don't want to help Hanzo!" Hatosuke turned his head away with a stern face.

"Oh~~~, let's forget it in that case." Naoto suddenly saw the black iron rod next to the big Buddha. This seemed to be Shinta's weapon. Could it be that the person who killed Shinta was the big Buddha?

"Did you kill Shinta?"

The Buddha replied angrily: "I killed him. At that time, Shinta said that he would hire a killer to harm you, Naoto, so I killed him out of desperation. Also, when I saw that you were dead, Naoto, I went there in grief and anger.

I chased that woman, but I didn’t catch up with her. When I came back, all the bodies were gone. What’s going on?”

"Yes!" Hatosuke jumped up and shouted: "At that time, the Buddha said that you were dead, Naoto, it was necessary for you to make this clear. Later, when the Buddha came back, he hugged me and cried all night, and his eyes were red from crying.

"

"Really?" Naoto looked at the Buddha with interest.

"Don't just talk about me, Jiuzuke, didn't you cry too?"

"That's because you lied to me. If Naoto were still alive and kicking now, I would have said you were dazzled."

The Buddha frowned and retorted: "What! I didn't say that Naoto was dead, but that figure really looked like him. How could I see clearly when it was so dark?"

"Oh! I just said you were dazzled. How could Naoto die so easily?"

"Okay, everyone, be quiet."

Naoto smiled and said: "I'm not dead. As for what happened that night, don't worry about it. You haven't had dinner yet? I'll invite you to a big dinner, a real big dinner."

"Yeah! Naoto is still generous." Kitosuke put his hand on Naoto's shoulder and said, "Naoto is the best among us. You didn't want to be Hanzo's subordinate at the beginning, so why are you here again?"

Naoto invited the two of them: "Let's go eat first. After dinner, I will take you to a hot spring bath. We will talk while walking."

"······"

After finishing a sumptuous seafood dinner at Boss Yiga's shop, Naoto paid with a smile. Boss Yika was a little scared when he saw Naoto numbly withdrawing the money. It seems that these two are also adults for Naoto to spend so much money.

It's been a long time since they separated from Naoto and they haven't eaten such rich food. Both Hatosuke and Daibutsu were almost full of belly, and they collapsed on the tatami and burped.

Before Jiuzuke and Daibutsu could breathe a sigh of relief, Naoto hurriedly took them to the hot spring bath shop on Pai Pai Street to entertain these two friends as much as possible.

Lying in the pool, Hatosuke and the Big Buddha looked comfortable. Hatosuke also wiped off the paint on his face, revealing a more neutral and delicate face. If Hatosuke was born elsewhere, he would definitely be a highly sought-after idol.

"Hey, Naoto. You live like this every day. No wonder you don't want to leave to find us."

"Shut your foul mouth Buddha!"

Naoto poured water over the giant Buddha with a ladle, which made him feel cold. This bastard always said irritating words at inappropriate times. The disgusted giant Buddha had no choice but to squat in the bathtub and remain silent.

"I don't live like this every day. I just returned to Yuyin Village a month ago. Before that, I had been wandering in the country of Kawa without a fixed residence. I was coerced to come to the village to work as a spy."

"Spy?" The two of them suddenly became nervous.

Naoto stood up and walked out of the pool, looking around. Seeing that there was no one else, he walked into the bathing pool and stuck out his tongue. A black curse mark appeared on the base of his tongue, which looked creepy.

"That's it, the Buddha didn't see the wrong person that night, it's just that I deliberately let people kill me."

"hateful!"

Hatosuke waved his hand on the water: "The people of Konoha are indeed hypocritical and have done such a disgraceful thing. I want to kill them all. Who is coercing you Naoto?"

Naoto shook his head: "I can't say because of the curse seal, but you must leave the Country of Rain now. If possible, you can go to a port at the southernmost tip of the Country of Sichuan. I know Mr. Sansai there."

"I will never leave the Country of Rain."

"Well, I don't want to leave the Country of Rain either."

Looking at the two resolute people, Naoto sighed slightly, these two idiots. Naoto had no choice but to get up and walk to the locker, and took out a passbook from the pocket of his clothes.

"This is the money I have saved over the years. Although it is not much, it can help you tide over the difficulties. In the underground bank, the number is 9527."

"I don't want it." Jiuzuke said proudly.

Naoto smiled lightly and handed the bankbook to the Buddha: "There is one million taels in it, which should be enough for you to live for a while. I know that this money is far from enough for you to relieve the refugees.

I have accomplished nothing in the past two years, so I don’t have that much money. If you want to find me in the future, you can find a little boy named Xinghe in the garbage dump outside the village. He will help pass on the information. Yuyin Village has been in chaos recently. You should leave early.

That’s wonderful.”

The Buddha looked at the bankbook in his hand: "Naoto, won't you leave with us?"

"No, I have my own things to do. Besides, me being in Yuyin Village is more conducive to your safety. If there is any danger, you can borrow Hanzo's power. Remember the contact information, the little boy named Xinghe has a

Brother, they go to the landfill outside the village every day to throw away garbage."

"I see."
