My Hidden Road

"So you have seen a lot of worldly things. Are the hot springs in Kawano Country really more comfortable than here?"

"Shut up!"

Kusuke scolded the Buddha with a serious expression. The latter buried his mouth under the water, revealing his nose and breathing bored bubbles. Naoto couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

"The hot springs are really good. How about everyone going to Kawano Country to take a bath together?"

"This is a very good proposal, but first of all, we must restore peace to the Kingdom of Rain."

Naoto lay beside the pond and raised his head: "Hakusuke, you are still the same as before. The Rain Country is peaceful! It's not easy. Maybe we can't see this day. Have you ever thought about it?"

"So what?"

Hatosuke said with a firm look: "It was Naoto who brought this hope to me. If it weren't for Naoto, I might not have firmed my beliefs. It was your guidance that made me more determined."

"Am I?"

"Of course, helping refugees to protect the injured villagers, this is what Naoki did at the beginning, you were the leader of our former team."

Naoto laughed and joked: "You were the leader of the team in the past. I and the Buddha agreed at the beginning. You can't throw the responsibility to me."

"I testify that the leader I determined was Kusuke." The Buddha still couldn't help it.

"Too talk!"

Kusuke was a little embarrassed about his face, yes! Naoto was the first to lead them to rescue refugees and protect the injured villagers, but later due to Hanzo's forced and some reasons, the team was disbanded.

"This team had disbanded more than two years ago. What's the use of saying this now? Big Buddha and I can't protect the villagers at all. We can only watch them killed by Konoha's spy. Damn it!" After that, Hirusuke hit the water hard.

“The team is still there.”

Naoto leaned over the shoulders of the two and said, "Our team is still there, as long as one is alive, I have to do things under Hanzo. Now the five major countries are in a mess, and the Rain Country only survives in some cracks.

Kusuke, Big Buddha, you are me. No matter what organization, team, or ninja village you join, I will always be a member of this small three-person team.”

Hirusuke nodded: "Well! Everyone wants to survive."

The Buddha: "Everyone must live."

After taking a bath, the three of them chatted all night in the free lounge provided by the soup bath shop, and couldn't sleep all night. Naoto couldn't reunite with them for too long or it would be troublesome if Hanzo discovered it, and it's very likely that he wouldn't have been driven out of the Rain Country again.

The next morning.

The three of them walked into the alley behind Yusujidian Street. Hirusuke and the Buddha had to leave early. Now Hanzo is preparing to fight against Konoha to absorb ninjas everywhere. If they don't want to be sent to the battlefield as "materials", they will leave quickly.

"How did you enter the village?" Naoto asked.

Kusuke turned his eyes to the Buddha, who smiled and said, "I took some money to bribe Shinta and said he wanted to become his subordinate, so he brought us in, but now I don't know if I can go out."

Naoto was so amused and laughed: "Forget it, I'll take you out of the village. If there are any important things, please contact me according to the channels I gave me. That little devil is very trustworthy. Everyone will meet again in the future, don't be too sad."

"Well, we will." Kusuke nodded and said.

After passing through several dark alleys, Naoto took the two of them on the streets leaving Yuheng Village. For some reason, there were many patrols on the streets, and there were ninja alerts on the iron towers in the village. Yuheng Village did not have high walls like Konoha, and the only barrier was the big lake outside the village.

Naoto is quite famous in the village, and of course it is not a good reputation. It is nothing more than a label of hobby murder. The patrol ninjas always stay away from Naoto when they see Naoto. Who doesn’t know that Hanzo promoted Naoto to Supreme Ninja not long ago and was a powerful newcomer who was in the limelight.

The three of them walked out of Yuyin Village with great swagger. None of Yuyin dared to intercept Naoto. Instead, several Uenin, who were also part of Hanzo's camp, nodded to Naoto, looking cold and unrestrained.

"Natsuto, they seem to be afraid of you?" Kusuke stepped forward a few steps to Naoto and whispered in his ear.

"Of course, I killed a ninja when I came to Yu Hidden Village on the first day, and cut off another person's ear a few days ago. Who is not afraid?"

"You are so awesome, won't Hanzo get angry?"

Naoto sneered: "That guy basically doesn't care. As long as no one wants to murder his position as Yuyin leader and does not do anything that embarrasses him, Hanzo will turn a blind eye."

"Someone is coming." Hirusuke reminded.

"Don't be afraid, I'll deal with it."

On the empty rocky road, Yu Hidden Village behind him was left behind by three people. A team of Yu Ninja wearing respirators came towards him, all of which were elite ninjas under Hanzo.

"Brother Shenda, you have worked hard for the mission."

"Yo! Isn't this a straight guy?"

Kinda smiled and looked at Kusuke and the Big Buddha with a cautious look. "These two are very eye-catching. The young men who can be with Naoto must be ambitious people. Can you get to know each other?"

"Who?" Naoto asked dullly.

"Those two?"

Naoto turned around and looked at Hatosuke and Big Buddha's eyes and showed disgust: "These two are just 'materials', so why should we get to know Brother Shenda? Stay away from me!"

Suddenly, Naoto approached Shenda, and stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "I have been practicing ninjutsu recently. I want to see my own tools, so I use the two of them as soon as possible. I think Senior Shenda wouldn't report to Lord Hanzo, saying that I'm harming the ninjas in the village, right?"

"Uh? Hahaha!" Shenda patted Naoto's shoulder: "Of course not. What senior is it? Let me ask you to be kind to me. Is it okay for me to be so greedy?"

"Thank you very much, Brother Shenda, you are......"

“Perform a cleaning task.”

Naoto's eyes were slightly slight and then he smiled: "So that's it, then I won't bother Brother Shenda anymore, see you again."

"Brother Naoto, see you."

Watching Shenda and his group leave, Naoto shook his head and sighed. I don’t know how many people were suffering from bloodbathing again.

"Who he is, he is all in line with your brother." Kusuke asked indignantly.

Naoto held Kusuke's shoulder and smiled, "Hanzo's left and right hands - Shenda, he handled a lot of the work in the village. Last time I gave him 300,000 taels, so he started to call him brothers and brothers.

Why? It seems that Mr. Kusuke is jealous. Do you want to stay and help me?"

"No, you should continue to be brothers and brothers with them!"

Kusuke teased Naoto and broke free from his arm. There was no Yukino patrol team forward, and the three of them were about to separate again.

"etc."

Naoto reached out to remove his short rib blade from behind his waist and gave it to Kurasuke very seriously.

"I gave it to you as a souvenir. I have not had any good gifts recently. I will just accept it."

"For me?" Kusuke hesitated for a moment.

"If you don't want me, I'll take it back."

"Why don't you?"

Hikasuke put the short ribs into his bag with one hand, and the three of them hugged each other and separated. Naoto stood on a huge rock with an umbrella, watching the figures of the two gradually become smaller, turning into a black dot and finally disappearing on the horizon.

"Goodbye, my friend."

After seeing off, Naoto returned home in a little lonely way. It would be great if he had just promised them to leave together, so he wouldn't have even a friend who could treat each other honestly in Yuyin Village.

Naoto sat on the sofa withered, from morning to afternoon, and finally got up and stretched at night. As a spy, you have to endure loneliness. Besides, your plan has not been completed yet, so you can't make that guy Hanzo too comfortable!
