My Hidden Road

Going to the Iwagakure border for a tactical reconnaissance mission, Naoto went into battle lightly, without any subordinates, so he was alone. In this tactical reconnaissance mission, Hanzo clearly understood the key points of the mission, and Naoto could not ignore it even if he wanted to.

He returned to his previous attire, hiding items that could prove his identity as a ninja. He wore a large gray robe and a cloth belt around his waist to expose his chest, looking like a wandering warrior.

After getting the mission, Naoto left Yuyin Village to arrange many things, giving people the impression that the wind was rustling and the water was cold, and the warriors were gone and never returned. This was Naoto's disguise, accepting the mission with the attitude of a patriotic young man, and it was

Such a fatal task requires some attitude.

The road Naoto chose to go to the border was safer, and there were also more pedestrians on the road. Smuggling caravans, fleeing civilians, and wandering refugees formed a speechless scene on the road.

Naoto walked along the road during the day, and when he had time at night, he looked at the map and corrected the unreasonable locations. The accuracy of the map provided by Mita was indeed a bit poor, but considering the conditions of Amegakure Village, it was already the best.

Fortunately, the Country of Rain is relatively small, and it takes a day and night to reach the border from Hidden Rain Village with the guidance of the target and map. This is why Hanzo has not arranged for backup. As long as he gets important information and rushes to reach the border, it only takes a dozen hours.

Abnormal commercial trade, smuggling, selling war supplies, hired killers... can all be found here.

A commercial town suddenly appeared on the border. No matter how you looked at it, a small town would not appear here, but it just appeared here. Naoto hoped that Hanzo would come here to collect taxes.

Naoto stood on the hill and looked at this small town. It was in the Land of Rain, only a few kilometers away from the border, but he could also see the ninjas of Iwagakure nearby.

Hanzo finally did one thing right and did not openly declare war. He also knew that provoking a war should be done secretly and then kill him with one blow.

Walking into the town, the town was a bit run down. I wonder if it was because the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire had a falling out and the smugglers were unable to bring in goods.

When I walked into a hotel, the owner was a native of the Earth Country. He was short in stature and had a pair of triangular eyes. There was an Iwagakure logo carved on the counter. I saw Naoto rubbing his hands to show his hospitality.

"Do you need anything, sir?"

Naoto looked around at the decoration and layout: "Stay in the hotel for one day."

"Okay, okay, are you alone?" the boss with triangular eyes asked.

Naoto leaned on the counter, looking like a swinging swordsman, and took out a banknote from his pocket and slapped it on the table. "How about boss, can you find someone for me tonight?"

The triangular-eyed boss smiled coquettishly: "This store does not provide other services. If you need it, brother, you should go to a hotel or something like that."

"Tch, hurry up and get a room."

"okay!"

After accepting the banknotes, the triangular-eyed boss treated Naoto with a few loose banknotes and a few coins in a very fair manner, truly showing a childlike business attitude.

"Brother, where are you from?"

Naoto followed him up the stairs and replied: "People from the Iron Kingdom are currently doing heroic deeds of chivalry and justice. I hope that one day my reputation will be spread back to the country and let people in my hometown know about it."

"Oh! That's really a lofty ideal. Brother, you are amazing. You dare to go out alone." The boss praised aloud.

"Actually, it's not a very lofty ideal. I just don't want to go back in such a dejected state. I want to gain some fame and make some money, so that I can feel confident to go home and see my relatives."

While the two were talking, they came to the second floor. The boss with triangular eyes took Naoto to a door and stopped. The window just faced the street, which was very convenient. Then he walked in and introduced the layout inside.

"The world is not stable these days. Brother, you have to pay attention to safety when you go out into the world." The boss reminded me.

"Boss, you are worrying too much. That is a matter for the ninjas and has nothing to do with the samurai."

"well······"

The boss glanced at the young and energetic Naoto and sighed slightly. He envied the courage of these young people. They are really fearless. The world is in such chaos. Who can avoid it? At first glance, he ran away from home and dreamed of becoming an unparalleled swordsman. Be careful to die.

No one in the family knew.

"Brother, take your time and rest, I'll go down first."

Naoto nodded and said, "Excuse me, are you in charge of dinner here?"

"Sorry, our restaurant is not responsible for serving meals. If necessary, you can go to the restaurant next door."

"Thanks."

After the boss left, Naoto began to check the house and rummage around. He opened the window and looked at the street. He was obviously in the Land of Rain but was occupied by the Land of Earth. It was a strange world.

After recording this small town on the map, Naoto left the hotel and walked in the small town. This small town only had one street, with mostly service industries, and many Iwagakure ninjas shuttled nearby. Naoto also discovered a very strange thing.

The houses in the town are all built of stone, which is not the architectural style of the Land of Rain.

Such a small town suddenly appeared on the border. The commander responsible for patrolling this area should commit suicide to apologize, otherwise he would be sold by Iwagakure.

Naoto thought that the young Ame ninja who had one of his hands cut off by himself was Iwagakure's spy. Presumably the Ame ninja who was responsible for patrolling this area was also captured by Iwagakure.

Stopping, Naoto stretched out his hand to touch a wall, and then took a step to measure it. Darling, this wall is as thick as a fortress building, what does Iwagakure want to do?

"Frontline Fortress?"

These are just things on the surface. Anyone with some military literacy can see it. No one knows what else is underground. Naoto returned to the hotel, climbed to the top of the building and looked at the entire town. Suddenly, he had a whim.

What would happen if we built a wall of earth flow outside the town? It would be a perfect fortress.

Iwagakure definitely did not build such a fortress in the Kingdom of Rain to defend Konoha, so only the Kingdom of Rain was left. Hanzo wanted to start early, but unfortunately the third generation Tsuchikage Onoki started building this fortress a few years ago.

Knowing the true face of the town and that the area patrol had rebelled, these two pieces of information were kept on the surface. How much was left hidden underground was unknown, but Naoto had to know how much was hidden 'underground'

What, otherwise such intelligence investigation will be useless.

After a night's rest, Naoto was ready to leave here and continue his in-depth investigation. It was no joke to have such a thing here.

The next day.

Naoto, who got up early, hurriedly ate some food brought from Amegakure Village, then closed the door to the room and walked down the stairs. The owner of the hotel was wiping the table.

"Good morning, little brother."

Naoto nodded and smiled: "Good morning, I'm checking out."

"Oh? You've rested, where are you going to go next?" The boss walked into the counter and recorded something.

"I'm going to the Kingdom of Earth. I've completed my trip to the Kingdom of Rain. I plan to go to the Kingdom of Earth to see those unique customs. Is the boss from the Kingdom of Earth?"

"Hahaha, not bad. I wish you a safe journey, little brother."

Naoto waved goodbye to his boss. Only by going deep into the Land of Earth can we know the specific information. How dare you be the first!
