The Fire Temple is the largest temple in the entire Fire Country.
There is an endless stream of tourists here every day. Some people pray to Buddha and ask for children, some people seek business prosperity, and some people come here purely for fun. Because the Daimyos of the Fire Country also believe in Buddhism, this place has become a must-visit place for the Daimyo of the Fire Country.
It is even said that before the establishment of Konoha, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama practiced at the Fire Temple for a while, which made the Fire Temple even more famous.
These things created the Temple of Fire, and there were many monks practicing in the Temple of Fire.
In the evening, the group of four finally arrived at their destination. Looking from a distance, a magnificent temple came into view.
Because the place where the mission was carried out this time was relatively far from Daming Mansion, the Temple of Fire became their resting place tonight.
However, as it got closer, a puff of smoke spread from the air, as if there was a fire.
Dikong's expression changed and he suddenly swept forward.
Uchiha Tatsu and the others followed closely behind.
When they got closer, they discovered that the Fire Temple had been severely damaged. A steel gate more than ten meters high that originally stood had a large hole cracked, and the statues on both sides of the gate also fell to the ground.
"Be careful. The Temple of Fire has a special defensive barrier that can be destroyed like this. The enemy is very strong."
Dikong gave a warning and took the lead in stepping through the door.
The damage inside the temple was even more serious than outside. The originally clean roads were actually covered with corpses and had pits and traces of battles.
"Damn it, who did it!"
Di Kong's expression became increasingly uglier, and he had not met a living person until now. This means that the enemy is really strong.
You must know that the Fire Temple is not just a cat or a dog. It is a very powerful force in the Fire Kingdom, and most people will not mess with them.
"Help… "
When they were about to reach the main hall, a faint cry for help came from the grass in the distance.
Dikong rushed over and gently lifted up the middle-aged monk lying on the ground.
"Earthsea, what happened?!"
The monk named Dihai coughed violently, and his face became a little ferocious because of the pain.
After a while, he recovered and opened his eyes only to find that the ground was empty.
He grabbed Ji Kong's arm and said in a trembling voice: "There is a ninja who attacked the Fire Temple and is looking for you by name. You should leave quickly!"
"Looking for me? What about others?"
Dikong was a little confused. He was usually cautious in his actions and did not provoke too many enemies.
"I don't know either... The man entered the temple, found you weren't there, and then left."
Earthsea coughed again, and blood spilled from his mouth.
"Stop talking, I'll treat you."
Ji Kong hurriedly took out the first aid kit from his ninja bag and quickly used it for him.
Uchiha Tatsu showed solemnity on his face, and then motioned to Mikoto and Himeji with his eyes, preparing to take them to find other survivors.
But just then, a voice came from the shadows.
"Ah, I finally found it. Let me just say, the Temple of Fire was attacked, and these monks will definitely inform you. It is exactly what I thought. It is worth waiting for me to wait nearby for so long.
The Twelve Guardian Ninja... Earth and Sky! "
With that said, the man slowly walked out of the shadows.
He was dressed in black, with a black mask covering his light green eyes, and the Ninja Village logo of Taki Ninja hung on his forehead, but the logo was covered with a line, indicating that this person was a rebel ninja.
Uchiha Tatsumi's pupils shrank.
Kakuzu
"Why is he here?!"
Sensing something strange about Chen, Kakudu turned his gaze to the young man and asked, "Do you know me?"
Chen shook his head and then asked: "Are you famous?"
It makes sense for him to say that he does not know nature.
For a ninja, intelligence is crucial. As long as there is information, even a chunin can defeat a jounin. This is an unchanging truth in the ninja world.
Kakuzu's success in surviving in the ninja world for so long is partly due to his own strength, but also partly due to the fact that others don't understand his abilities.
Chen understands Kakuzu's abilities, but Kakuzu doesn't know this, so naturally he won't be prepared.
Therefore, if a fight really breaks out, Chen can have a great advantage.
Hearing the boy's contemptuous words, Kakuzu, as an old monster, not only did not get angry, but instead showed a playful smile.
"I'm not too famous. I almost forgot my name. However, if Senju Hashirama is still alive, he can definitely answer your question for me. After all... that man once fought against me.
We have left a deep impression on each other. "
Hearing him say these words calmly, several people, including Di Kong, looked surprised.
You have fought against the God of the Ninja World and still managed to escape unscathed. What kind of strength is this? !
Jiao is very satisfied with everyone's expressions. How can I put this feeling...as comfortable as picking up 100 million taels on the roadside.
Uchiha Tatsumi, on the other hand, had a smile on his face, as if he was listening to something very funny.
Kakuzu's eyes were cold and he said, "You don't believe it?"
Chen pushed up his non-existent black-rimmed glasses and said with a smile: "Believe it, why don't you believe it? Even if you say you are 50-50 split with the First Hokage, I will believe it.
But, I just want to tell you that I have also experienced hundreds of battles and have seen a lot. What's wrong, you fought against the first Hokage? I even had a chat and laugh with the Third Kazekage and the Third Mizukage. "
Kakuzu laughed angrily, "You kid, you are so crazy."
"It's okay, I just want to advise you, don't always want to make big news when you have nothing to do."
Kakuzu was really angry this time, but out of caution, he looked at Uchiha Tatsu carefully again.
It was too dark just now, so he didn't pay much attention, but when he looked carefully, he discovered that the boy also had the symbol of a guardian ninja on his waist, and he had a Konoha forehead protector on his forehead, and he was wearing a fan windbreaker...
With such a dress and the tone just now, he immediately guessed Uchiha Tatsu's identity.
"Are you Konoha Lightning?"
The boy didn't answer.
However, after Kakuzu repeatedly confirmed it, he laughed and said: "Great, there is a bounty of 30 million taels on the black market for Ji Kong's head, and you, the famous Konoha hero, are worth 200 million. What an unexpected surprise tonight. ah…
Sure enough, luck can't be stopped when it comes! "
Uchiha Tatsumi smiled and said: "I didn't expect my head to be so valuable. I just don't know if you can take this big head away."
"Heh~"
With the faint light, Kakuzu looked at the corpses scattered in every corner and the strong smell of blood, and a cruel smile appeared under the mask.
"How could I bear to miss a head worth 200 million taels."
His eyes peered through the darkness, as if he had already seen the white bills waving to him.
"Then, let me take off your head and dig out your heart!"
Kakuzu let out an inexplicable cruel laugh, and his figure rushed into the night.
