My Hidden Road

Silks of water vapor rise and turn into small water droplets when cooled at a certain height. This small water droplet and other small water droplets form clouds and collide with each other. Finally, when the air in the clouds cannot support it, the water droplets turn into raindrops and fall.

.

Dropping from a height of 10,000 meters, it should fall to the ground like many raindrops. A hand reaches out to catch it, and the water droplets scatter in all directions.

Naoto stood on the balcony and looked at the gloomy sky. The black clouds in the distance were being blown by the strong wind, and the lightning flashing in the clouds was brewing a bigger storm.

"It can only be like this until now. War is always a continuation of the country's political conflicts. Hanzo-sama is preparing to go to war against Iwagakure in order to preserve the reputation of the Land of Rain."

On the balcony, Mita appealed while leaning on the threshold. His expression was cold, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. But the fact is that the demigods of the ninja world are very arrogant, and such insults are really unbearable.

Rather than preserving the reputation of the Land of Rain, it is better to say that it is to preserve the reputation of Sanshouyu Hanzo. Now Hanzo is the Land of Rain and the Hidden Rain Village. He has proved that the Land of Rain is no less than the five major countries with his own strong strength.

Military presence. A few years ago, he went to war with the three major powers and stood proudly in the world.

Naoto slapped the railing hard: "The Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Fire have finished offending each other, leaving only the Kingdom of Wind with room for negotiation. Hanzo-sama doesn't want to start a war with the Kingdom of Wind, right?"

"We have a common enemy with the Kingdom of Wind. Their elder Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law were killed by Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo. The armistice agreement between our two countries is still there."

"Is there going to be another war?"

All his efforts were in vain, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance woven by Naoto was destroyed by Hanzo. The countries that were united because of common interests eventually had differences, and even the bundling of interests could not bring them together.

Naoto can imagine Danzo's proud face, so what if he kills your people, what if he creates hatred, what if he makes the Fire Nation fall into disdain?

This is not the case now, and the conflict between the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Earth is even greater. Konohagakure can now concentrate on dealing with Sunagakure, and can withdraw some of the troops from the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Earth and invest them in the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind.

People are fooling around and comforting themselves, what nonsense is the dignity of the Rain Country? The dignity of the Rain Country disappeared long ago when the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara established the Hidden Leaf Village.

Mita took out a scroll and handed it to Naoto and said: "Hanzo-sama ordered that you lead the troops to conduct tactical reconnaissance first. I will try my best to cooperate with you in terms of personnel and weapons configuration. This is a specific task."

"never mind."

Naoto took the scroll and said: "I'm used to being alone. Besides, the scum below me are quite good at bullying civilians. Let them go to the battlefield for tactical reconnaissance. Maybe they will scatter like birds and beasts when they don't reach the border."

"Can you do it alone?"

Naoto showed a hearty smile: "Don't forget that I lived alone in the turmoil for two years. If I don't come back, promise me one thing."

Shen Da felt a little sad: "What happened?"

"Help me give a message to the two brothers who are picking up garbage in area C. From now on, you two must live well and see the day when the sun appears in the land of rain..."

"anything else?"

Naoto thought for a while and said: "Forget it, I can't die, it's better not to say my last words."

"Thank you." Mita patted Naoto on the shoulder. Hanzo-sama was indeed right. Such a dangerous task could only be entrusted to him. Others simply did not have such courage.

There were footsteps in the deep passage, and a rain ninja wearing a respirator walked over and knelt down on one knee.

"Jounin Sekikawa Naoto, Hanzo-sama summoned, along with Mita-senpai."

Mita was a little confused: "Didn't Master Hanzo just summon me just now?"

"There must be something important, we'd better go there." Naoto said.

The two followed his footsteps and walked into a house. Hanzo sat cross-legged on the tatami barefoot. After seeing Naoto, he waved away the other people around him, leaving Naoto and Mita behind.

"I assume you already know the mission?"

Naoto knelt down on one knee and responded: "I have learned from Senior Mita that I will definitely complete the mission."

"This mission is very important. It is related to the safety of the Land of Rain. I will not say those high-sounding words. As long as you can obtain important information about Iwagakure, I will leave the security work of the village to you."

It seems that Hanzo has invested a lot of money. The security work of Yuyin Village includes patrolling, public security, emergency combat management, and more importantly, being able to lead hundreds of troops below, which is a very important position.

"I will do my best."

With some promises and some encouragement, Hanzo's methods were nothing more than this. He had already made up his mind to let Onoki experience the shock that Konoha had suffered in the past, and to gain a wave of prestige in the Land of Earth.

Carrying two bags of banknotes, Naoto walked home. Hanzo encouraged Hanzo to give out money, which was much more than Danzo. Naoto estimated that there were more than one million taels in the two bags of banknotes.

"Welcome home!"

As soon as she walked into the house, Chao Xiang helped Naoto change into slippers, with a smile that couldn't be wiped off her face.

"Sister, I have to leave for a while."

Chaoxiang raised his head: "Where are Xiaomao going?"

"I received an order to go to the Kingdom of Earth for tactical reconnaissance. The probability of coming back is almost zero. The money should be enough for you to live for a while. The apartment is allocated by the village. Senior Shen Da will not take it back for the time being. You can live well alone.

." After saying that, Naoto threw the banknotes to her.

"Why, can you not go?"

Naoto knelt down and touched Asaka's face: "Being a ninja requires such awareness, and my name is Sekikawa Naoto. My poor sister, I hope one day you can understand my love for you."

"Koumao is Koumao, not Naoto Sekawa." The feeling of matcha from Naoto's rough palms could be felt on her cheeks, and Asaka's tears fell unconsciously.

"Whatever you want, I'm leaving."

Loosening his palm, Naoto stood up and was about to leave the house. His palm, which was still warm from the morning fragrance, was held by someone.

"etc!"

Chaoxiang said with tears in her eyes: "You have just settled your relationship with Xiaomao, why did Xiaomao leave your sister? Why?"

"My name is Sekikawa Naoto!"

After saying the last words, Naoto opened the door, held up an umbrella, and left. Asaka's painful sobs sounded behind him, and Naoto's face was very solemn.

After Naoto left home, he went to Boss Yiga's shop and ordered two portions of fried rice. While sitting in the shop waiting, Boss Yiga kept talking incomprehensible words. When Naoto was about to leave, Boss Yiga stopped him.

"Naoto-kun, I dare to call you this boldly. I am planning to go back to my hometown. I will leave tomorrow."

"Why?"

Boss Yiga smiled bitterly: "Back in the countryside, I heard that a large-scale war is about to break out again, but I won't be back this time. I wish you peace in the future."

"when are we leaving?"

"tomorrow."

Naoto bowed to him: "Can I ask you a favor?"

"Please say."

"Help take those brothers away. I have to leave the village to carry out my mission. They will die if they continue here." Boss Yiga stared at Naoto for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Thank you."

Carrying two portions of fried rice, Naoto walked through several dark and narrow alleys, came to the small wooden house, pushed the door and walked in. The two brothers were inside.

Putting down the fried rice in his hands, Naoto took out a scroll from his arms and placed it on the wooden table, forming a seal with his hands.

"untie!"

A small pile of banknotes appeared in front of the two of them. The two brothers looked at me and I looked at you. I don't know why.

Naoto said calmly: "This is for you. Tomorrow you take the money and go to Boss Yiga. He will adopt you and take you out of Yuyin Village back to the countryside to escape the war. I have to leave the village too and there is no way to protect you."

"Sir, don't you need us anymore?" Sachiwa looked at Naoto with sincere eyes.

"You can say that this is the utmost kindness and justice. You two have to survive."

"grown ups······"

Xinghe wanted to say something, but Naoto was no longer in front of him. The two brothers looked at the banknotes and fried rice in a daze. Aren't they needed anymore?
