Chapter 41 The Old Monk's Prayer
After dinner, Bai leaned on Jingzang's shoulder and the two of them enjoyed the moonlight. Jingzang said, "The book says that everyone was an angel. When she liked someone, she broke her wings and fell to the earth and became a mortal. So don't let down those who love you, because she no longer had wings and flew back to the original heaven..." Bai was a little moved, "That's why you treat us so well..." Jingzang smiled, "Because you can't go back to heaven, just accompany me, an ordinary person for the rest of your life!" Bai chuckled, "You should tell them a few of these words." Jingzang smiled, "It's enough to tell you, you will tell them, right?" Bai blushed and a little jealous, "I won't tell other women about our private words!"
Just as many people remember the moonlight and watched the meteors, Naruto got up and began to practice overnight. By dawn, when Jingzang arrived at the waterfall of cultivation, Naruto was already panting, and Yamato also sat on the ground with a bitter face. Naruto's resilience and perseverance made Jingzang admire him, "Sure enough, being the protagonist is not just a halo."
Naruto cheered himself up, "I am me, as long as I work hard, I will reach the other side of my dream one day!" Naruto worked hard together, and finally cut the waterfall and cheered. Kakashi said, "I did a pretty job!" Yamato exclaimed, "This practice is really amazing!" Jingzang said, "I didn't expect Naruto to be so fast..."
Kakashi said, "It's not entirely due to this method of practice, it was the pressure from his companions that made him do it." Jingzang understood, "Is it Sasuke?" Kakashi said, "You too. Naruto is also a person who refuses to admit defeat!" Jingzang said with a smile, "This guy!" Naruto removed the shadow clone, "The waterfall was cut off!" Yamato breathed a sigh of relief.
Kakashi said, "I did a good job, so that I can develop original innovation techniques below." Naruto was overjoyed, "Jing Zang, I will catch up with you soon..." Then, he was overly tired and lay on the wooden bridge. Jing Zang jumped up, "Is it okay, Naruto?" Kakashi also said, "I've done it a bit too much." Naruto murmured, "I'm hungry!"
Jing Zang laughed, "Overyone has collapsed long ago, but he is still thinking about breakfast!" Kakashi smiled, "What an amazing guy!" Jing Zang said, "Xunzi said that a good horse cannot leap ten steps. A slow horse can drive ten horses, and the achievements are to be reluctant. Perseverance will not be broken. Perseverance will lead to a rotten wood. Perseverance can be engraved with gold and stone. Perseverance is the measure of determination!"
In the Kingdom of Fire, 20 elite teams were searching for traces of the immortal duo everywhere, but they had not found any clues. While moving, they suddenly discovered an elderly man and woman coming in front of them. They immediately signaled that Yama Castle Aoba and Ino, and Ding Ji immediately became hiding.
The old man and the old lady discovered Ding Ji and Ino, "Someone attacked!" He threw out the wooden stick, Ino and Ding Ji screamed and avoided. Lei Tong had to jump out, "Two old men, we are in a difficult situation! The order that the strict prohibition of leaving the Kingdom of Fire should have been conveyed downward!" The old man smiled, "We also hope to give our meager strength." The old lady said, "We don't want to lose to you young people yet!" Lei Tong smiled bitterly, and Aoye also felt funny. Ino was dissatisfied, "I scared me!" Ding Ji nodded.
Konoha, Shizuki, "Within a radius of 50 kilometers between the border of the Fire Kingdom and the Fire Temple, 20 squads were spread out, and it was impossible for ants to enter." Tsunade was still worried. Flying eagles kept sending messages back, and the third team did not find any enemy. With the subsequent reports, no trace of Akatsuki was found. Tsunade was angry, "If that happens, why can't the enemy be found?" Tsunade said tremblingly, "Where is the Asma squad heading to the Fire Temple?" Shizuki said, "Only they have not reported it yet."
The team composed of the Uchinin and the Chunin who were sent by Naruto did not find any news about the members of the Akatsuki organization. Just when Tsunya was furious, Yueyexue came out of the door, "That, Ano, Lord Naruto..." Shizune was puzzled and asked Axue in. Tsunade asked, "What the hell is going on? Don't hesitate!" Axue said carefully, "No, Lord Tsunade. When Akong returned to his residence to rest, he met Chihiro, the monk from the Fire Temple, who knew the news of Master Dilu's murder, and then left Konoha privately, saying that he wanted to avenge Master Dilu."
Tsunade and Shizune screamed in shock, "What?" Tsunade said angrily, "Bastard, where is the moonlight Jifeng? How did he be the teacher?" Axue said, "After discovering that Akong left, Chixia and Liang Xiang had already chased him out. Teacher Jifeng only found out afterwards. He also went to chase Akong, and asked me to report to Lord Naruto immediately."
Tsunade was furious, "Bastard, why do they all like to act on their own? "Shi Yin said, "It's useless to be impatient now. Akatsuki is arresting Tsunari. It's very dangerous for Akatsuki to go out like this. What should I do, Master Tsunade?" Axue was also afraid, "Yes, Teacher Jifeng said that Akatsuki is probably not Akatsuki's opponent, and I'm afraid that revenge will not happen, but will harm himself." Tsunade said, "It seems that several masters must be dispatched. Shinin, is Mr. Sarutobi still in the village?" Shinin nodded, "He is very content recently and has not gone out. Do you want to invite him..."
Tsunade waved his hand, "No. There is no need to alarm the teacher now. Since the teacher is here, Kumaro must be at home, and another member of Class 10, Mizuki Shiraki, is also at home. You can't let them be too idle, silent, and call them over immediately. By the way, call Akamura, he knows the mountains, rivers and geography of the Kingdom of Fire, and may also be helpful."
Jingyin went out immediately. After a while, Kummaro, Bai, and Achimen Xue rushed to the office. Tsunade told the matter, "I order Kummaro, Mizuno Yuebai, Achimen Xue, and Yue Yexue to form a team of four people and go to chase Akong immediately. Be sure to bring Akong back to Konoha safely. If you meet Akatsuki's members, you are allowed to be eliminated on the spot. But remember to ensure the safety of Akong as the first task."
Junmaru and Shiraki had no objection. Axue was a little timid, but he still insisted on it. "I am also a Konoha Ninja, so I can't be afraid." Akamura complained, "Master Naruto, this is not a task that I, the Shinin, can be completed? When I meet Akatsuki members, I will be killed instantly. I don't want to die yet!" Tsunade had a headache, "Shut up! How could there be a ninja like you? It's really a shame for Konoha! You are only responsible for leading the way, just leave the battle to Junmaru. In this mission, Junmaru, you are the Supernin, and you will be the captain." Junmaru did not object and was very excited. "Let's go now, I can't wait to fight with the enemy."
Axue was bitter, "They are all abnormal people!" Bai said, "That's better. Chimen Xue is responsible for guiding the road, Axue is responsible for sensing the enemy, and I am responsible for covering and supporting. Brother Junmalu, the battle will be left to you." Junmalu nodded, "Very good. Chimen Xue, Axue, don't drag me back then." Chimen Xue and Axue agreed together, and the four of them immediately left.
Shizune was a little worried, "The configuration of this team is a bit unreasonable, is there no problem?" Tsunade said, "Don't worry, Kumama Ryu and Bai were born by the old man himself, and they can deal with it when they meet Akatsuki. Although Akamura and Axue's combat effectiveness are not high, they also have their own characteristics and will not be easily killed."
On the other side, Asma, Shikamaru, Izumo and Zitei came to the Fire Temple. The statues and gates of the Fire Temple had been destroyed. The respected old monk Banzai and a young ninja monk came out. "Are you all from Konoha?" Asma nodded. The Zen master had already received news from the monk Chihiro in Konoha, so he knew about these things. Banzai said, "I am now the abbot of the Fire Temple. When I left the temple for urgent matters, I learned that this place was in crisis. After rushing back, it had become such a tragic situation."
Four people entered the Temple of Fire with Banzhai and Zen Cathedral. The square of the Monk Temple was filled with coffins, and the temple was also destroyed. This is the Ninji Temple, which is proud of in the Kingdom of Fire. The wreckage everywhere is telling the cruelty of Akatsuki. Banzhai clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, with the help of people near the temple, the remains of the monks..." Shikamaru said, "It's so miserable!" Banzhai sighed, "The Temple of Fire should have such a disaster and cannot be avoided."
Asma asked, "Where is the body of Dilu?" The Zen Cathedral was very sad, "Only the body of Master Dilu... it was not found everywhere." Banzhai said, "Dilu has been reborn in the Pure Land, and that smelly skin is nothing worth nostalgic about. He killed countless people during his lifetime, but now he is killed by others. This is also a disaster!" Having said that, other surviving monks, including the Zen Cathedral, were also a little sad.
Izumo suddenly said, "Captain Asma, although I don't want to mention this matter, Master Dilu was given a reward of 30 million taels in the underground world." Shikamaru said, "Reward Bounty? Jingzang once said that the person who was dispatched this time was an immortal duo in charge of finance. If they knew about this bounty..." Asma also guessed, "I am afraid it is." Shikamaru said, "Is the change of gold? In other words, the enemy is moving with the body." Zitie immediately asked, "Izumo, where is the change of gold?" Izumo looked through the records, "Including the nearest one, there are 5 places in total."
Then, Izumo released four pigeons and notified the four nearby teams to go to the other four gold exchange sites. Asma said, "Very good, then let's go immediately." The old monk Banzhai called Asma, "No matter what, let me pray for you!" Asma had no choice but to agree and closed his eyes with Shikamaru and others.
Banzhai clasped his hands together and began to chant scriptures and pray for blessings. Asma recalled the scene of practicing and fighting side by side with Dilu, and his heart was filled with pain. Asma did not expect that Dilu would not escape the poisonous hand after becoming a monk for many years, "Is this the fate of ninjas? Dilu? In this way, the 12 guardians of the Fire Kingdom, and I am the only one left. I want to fight side by side with you again! There are still many things I want to tell you, I want to ask you!"
Banzai's prayer was completed, "Everyone, please take care of me!" Asma thanked him, "At least, you should take the body of Dilu..." Banzai said, "No need to force me. Like Dilu, you are a member of the 12 guardians of the Heterozoic Guardians and are also the target of rewards. Moreover, you should have a disaster. Whether you can escape depends on the will of heaven. Please be more careful!" Asma smiled and stretched out his five fingers, "It's okay, please don't worry! My bounty is 5 million taels higher than Dilu." Shikamaru smiled, "You should be worried that Asma is oversmoking!"
Just when Naruto was at a loss, Asma, Shikamaru and others had already arrived at the Fire Temple. The one who came to greet them was Bansai, the abbot of the Fire Temple. When they entered the temple, they saw coffins everywhere, and at this time Asma received a very important news. It turned out that Master Dilu was rewarded with 30 million taels by the underground world. At this time, members of the Akatsuki organization were likely to take Master Dilu's body to the Golden Shop.
At the same time, Akong was also rushing to the Fire Temple with all his might. He was determined to avenge Master Dilu. Qianxia and Liang Xiang were not familiar with the road here and were still chasing behind him, and there was a gust of moonlight and wind behind him. Junmalu's team was also moving forward quickly under the guidance of Chimen Xue and Axue.
Konoha, Sakura brought the turtleimaru to the waterfall and found that Naruto and others were missing. "It's rare that I brought the prepared turtleimaru." Sai came from behind, "No one is here!" Sakura asked, "Are you worried about Naruto's condition too, come and have a look?" Sai said, "No. I just don't want to become dull due to physical injuries, so I just came out for a walk. At this time... it's actually true!"
Sakura smiled and said, "Just be frank." In fact, Sai himself is responsible for the task of surveillance Naruto assigned to Danzo. Sai said, "Naruto's practice has come to an end, right?" Sakura said, "Maybe he has changed his mood somewhere. If you keep doing such intense special training, your body and mind will not be able to bear it."
At this time, Jingzang helped Naruto on the way to the Ichira Ramen Restaurant. Naruto shouted Ramen weakly. Jingzang said, "Okay, I know. Hold on for a while and it will be here soon." Kakashi and Yamato followed behind and looked at Naruto with a funny look.
On the waterfall, Sakura showed off her military food pills, "Sai, come and try it too." Sai took it, "What is this, is it a Niwan?" Sakura was angry, "It's so rude! This is the military food pill I made with my own hands, and it's a super special edition." Sai looked at the black pills, hesitating. Sakura was content with, "It's not so much a military food pill, but rather a tonic. It is nutritious, nourishes and strengthens the body, and has quick effect. It is made by strict selection of materials and combined with the superb skills of perfection... but it is quite effective!"
