My Hidden Road

The fire was extinguished, and something vaguely identifiable as a corpse was thrown away together with the garbage. No one cared about this dead person, and no one even wanted to know who she was.

The second day.

Naoto attended the meeting with other Amegakure jounin. This time Hanzo did not hide behind the gauze curtain. His eyes were bloodshot as if he had not rested all night. He stared at the subordinates who came to attend the meeting with a domineering look.

"We have temporarily given up the plan to attack the Kingdom of Earth. Everyone is having a hard time during this period."

"Master Hanzo, why?" someone asked in confusion.

Hanzo looked coldly at the subordinate who asked the question: "You don't need to know. I will tell you when necessary. Do you have any questions?"

The dozens of Amegakure Murjonin who are kneeling on one knee are all silent. They won't tell you even if I ask you. Why bother to touch this brow?

After a long silence, Hanzo coughed, and Kanda, who was frowning and still had a bandage on his hand, bowed, then took out a scroll and presented it to him.

"Hanzo-sama."

Hanzo took the scroll, looked at it, and threw the scroll on the ground angrily. Everyone was guessing what was written in the scroll that could make Hanzo so angry. Perhaps only Hanzo and Mita knew this.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

After giving the order, Naoto left the hall following the footsteps of everyone. What was written in the scroll, and what did Hanzo mean?

But what is certain is that Hanzo's ambition is getting stronger. He cannot defeat the Fire Country and does not dare to go to war with the Earth Country. He can only stay in his lair and lick his wounds alone. Naoto began to give up the idea of ​​​​starting a war and reaping the benefits.

The ambitious Hanzo is like a toothless beast. He may be able to roar in front of weak rabbits, but he has lost the will to compete with other beasts for territory.

The war between the Kingdom of Rain and other countries seemed to end in this frustrating way, but the civil war continued.

Naoto walked out of the dark room and looked up at the sky. The sky in the Land of Rain was not much better, it was just as gloomy.

"Brother Naoto, is there nothing wrong with your injury?" Mita came with a bandage on his left arm.

"senior······"

"It goes without saying, you should already know."

Naoto lowered his head sadly, and the Rain Country quit the war and licked its wounds alone. For people with ideals, this is a lack of opportunities, an opportunity to soar into the sky.

Mita patted Naoto on the shoulder with relief: "Everyone can have a good rest for a while. At least it is safe in the village. How old is Naoto this year?"

"I think I'm almost sixteen."

"Yes, you have a bright future and you still have a lot of time. In the future, the Country of Rain will still rely on young people like you."

Shenda sighed inexplicably: "We are already old. When our companions followed Master Hanzo to establish Yuyin Village, our ambitions were wasted. Now even the most determined Brown Swift has betrayed the Kingdom of Rain. Gan Yu is dead, Brown

Swift is also dead, and her former companions are gone."

"I killed the brown swift." Naoto said truthfully.

"I know, good boy! Even the most powerful brown swift among us can be defeated. It seems that my old bones have to give way, hahaha!"

"Thank you. Senior Brown Swift's first half of his life is very worthy of respect. By the way, what is the next move for the village?"

Kanda smiled bitterly: "Hanzo-sama is ready to end the civil war in the country and use his strength to quell the civil strife, but there are not even ninjas in the village who can take charge of their own affairs, so the plan has been put on hold for the time being."

"oh."

The two of them stood in the corridor and chatted indifferently. I wonder what Shen Da would think if he knew that Brown Swift and Gan Yu both died at the hands of Naoto. His former friends and companions died at the hands of the person in front of him.

"Asaka is dead." Naoto said suddenly.

"Um?"

Naoto stretched out his hand to catch the falling raindrops, "It seems that it was because of the gas explosion. That idiot said he would prepare a big meal to welcome me home. He was very fussy all day long and was not in his right mind."

"Sorry Chaoxiang, she hasn't been normal since Xiaomao's death. I heard that you have..."

"Living together?"

Shenda nodded silently. It is not surprising for a young boy to meet a beautiful girl. Youth and energy are always difficult to grasp, so it is not an unspeakable thing.

"Condolences!"

"That's all we can do, Asaka is very gentle." Naoto said calmly.

After communicating for a while, Naoto opened his umbrella and left. Hanzo didn't give him the position he promised when he was on the mission, so Naoto didn't dare to remind him, so that was fine.

After leaving Amegakut headquarters, Naoto wanted to walk to the commercial street as usual. When he walked to a shop, he found that the door was closed. There were no familiar people in the increasingly bustling commercial street, and only the familiar scenery remained unchanged.

Standing on the open-air balcony of an iron tower, looking at the village is both familiar and unfamiliar. This time Naoto really has no friends worth talking to. Sachi and the two brothers, Boss Ika, and even Asaka can

Count them in, and they all disappear.

The neon lights on the street kept flashing, and the rain kept falling in the sky. The word "lonely" is a perfect way to describe Naoto.

······

Somewhere in the Land of Rain.

When the rising dawn pierced the dawn, several young men in black trench coats ran on the river. The leading boy pointed at the rising dawn and smiled.

"The name of the organization! Then let's call it Akatsuki. This country has been suffering from war and has been crying. That's why we will be the dawn that changes this country, no! It is the dawn that changes the entire world."

Nagato muttered carefully several times: "Xiao, what a good name."

Everyone is happy, the organization has a name, and the number of members is also increasing. In the eyes of these young people who are full of passion and believe that they can change the world, Akatsuki is the dawn light that pierces the darkness.

"Naoto, did you hear that? Our organization has a name, and that is Akatsuki. I hope the letter you read can understand that this is the organization we created together!" Hatosuke murmured.

"Everyone, wait a minute!"

Suddenly Hatosuke shouted, and Yahiko and Nagato looked at him with puzzled expressions. Is there any problem?

"Big Buddha, do you still recognize this place?"

"This is..." The Buddha has not yet reacted, and his eyes carefully looked at the surrounding scenery.

"here it is!"

Hatosuke laughed and said, "Follow me to a good place. This used to be our hangout territory. There is a base for everyone to rest!"

"Very good, everyone will go to the base to rest with Jiuzuke!" Yahiko said.

The Buddha suddenly realized that this was near the market where he used to hang out, and this time the sun shone on this land, and the seemingly endless rain finally stopped.

Feeling timid about being close to home, the closer they get to their 'home' Daibutsu and Hatosuke, the more excited they become. This is their first home. The base is still the same, with the utensils inside covered with tarpaulins and the newly born Akatsuki organizing everyone to light up oil lamps.

Sit inside the base and rest.

"Kyusuke, is this your initial base?" Yahiko looked around, it was really nice here.

"No." Hatosuke pointed to the giant Buddha and said, "The base was somewhere else at first, and then it was occupied by this guy, causing Naoto and I to squat outside and get soaked in the rain all night."

The Buddha said resentfully: "Didn't you beat me up in the end and say..."

"Hahaha!"

"~~~"

Everyone in the Akatsuki organization laughed, and the newborn Akatsuki organization was still full of warmth. Suddenly, Hatosuke seemed to have thought of something. He walked to the corner of the wall to measure, took out a kunai and dug down for something. An iron box appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Konan frowned and asked, "Jiusuke, what is this?"

"Hey hey hey."

Hatosuke said proudly: "That guy Naoto hid it behind my back at night, thinking I didn't know. Since today is the day when Akatsuki was founded, everyone should celebrate. This is red wine that Naoto is reluctant to drink. Let's all drink together!"

"Long live!"

"Great, thank you Naoto-kun, cheers!"

Yahiko and the others cheered, but only the Great Buddha sighed. This is a drink that Naoto is reluctant to drink, so he distributed it to everyone. Do you really care about Naoto, Hatosuke?

The Buddha stood up and raised his hands eagerly to try: "Jiusuke, give me two cups, one cup for me, and I'll help Naoto drink the other cup!"
