Konoha's opening started with Orochimaru

Chapter 170 The Temple of Fire

"One thousand and eight, one thousand and nine."

On a continuous, as if endless, white stone steps, a small figure kept jumping and jumping, the speed was not too fast, the breathing was a little heavier, and it was obviously a little difficult.

Behind this short figure, a young man helped a lady in ordinary clothes up the stairs. The woman's eyes never left the leaping child in front of her for a second.

"Madam, Asma is proving himself with actions, you should be happy."

Taoyan intermediary saw Sarutobi Biwako's concern for Asma, and also knew how much guilt and heartache a mother would feel when seeing her son suffer like this.

Perhaps because he missed his mother's love, he showed unprecedented tenderness at this moment.

"Asuma has always been a strong child, but Hirizan put too much pressure on him. Bearing the name of Hokage's son in the village, and being watched by everyone in the village day and night, all his efforts have become Of course, this is unfair to him. But he never complained to us, not only that, he has been working hard to practice and prove himself to the villagers. I am very proud to have him as a son!"

Sarutobi Biwako's tears kept swirling in his eyes, and then she wiped them away with her hand, and looked at Sarutobi Asma who was practicing hard in front of him with firm eyes.

I'm his mother, and I can't reveal my fragility to anyone before he screams bitterness and tiredness.

"Yes, he has been practicing very hard."

Taoyan nodded his head. Although he likes to tease these little guys, he also pays attention to their efforts, otherwise he would not help them again and again.

The conversation between the two did not reach Asma Sarutobi's eyes. At this moment, he was concentrating on completing the practice in front of him: jumping to the gate of the Temple of Fire in the form of leapfrog.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the figures climbing the stone steps one after another did not stop for a moment. Sarutobi Asma was already pale and sweating, but the firmness in his eyes did not waver.

"What can you do, Asma."

Momoyan Intermediary helped Sarutobi Biwako step onto the last stone step, and stretched out his hand to pull Sarutobi Asuma up from the ground.

A soldier's food pill combined with medical chakra gave Sarutobi Asuma a full-body treatment, allowing him to get out of his powerless state as quickly as possible.

"As a reward, I will teach you a great ninjutsu. Work hard, boy, a bright future is beckoning to you."

"All benefactors, please come inside."

When Taoyan was thinking about the unique ninjutsu of the Temple of Fire, the gate of the Temple of Fire opened suddenly, and a young monk who was about the same height as Asma came out from the door.

Seeing the three people outside the door, Di Lu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted and invited the three people inside.

"Little monk, what's your name?"

Taoyan Agent looked at the little monk in front of him and was obviously familiar with it. Isn't this Asma's good friend Dilu?
"Benefactor, my Dharma name is Dilu."

The little monk Di Lu smiled shyly, and the two dimples matched with the bald head made him feel even more joyful.

Sarutobi Biwako stepped into the gate, and walked towards the main hall lightly and familiarly.

"Little monk Dilu, help me support this little guy."

Tao Yan's agency shook his head, wouldn't the powerful ninjutsu come to his door?

Asma, whether you can capture the heart of the little monk from Earthland depends on your own destiny.

"Okay, benefactor. Excuse me, what happened to this little benefactor?"

Dilu helped Asma up, and followed Taoyan's intermediary, walking all the way to the main hall.

"He, kidney deficiency."

"Intermediary teacher, can you say something nice about me?" Asma said weakly.

"Uh, not now."

After the Taoyan intermediary finished speaking, he stepped forward to catch up with Sarutobi Lake Biwa who suddenly regained his expression, which gave Asma and the little monk Dilu a chance to have a cordial conversation in order to nourish the buds of their friendship.

Uh, it seems that I am not allowed to write like this now, no matter, the two of them are still children with no hair, and nothing will happen.

"Abbott, it's been a long time."

Arriving in the "Daxiong Palace", Sarutobi Biwako knelt down like a senior pilgrim with a plop, and after three solid obeisances, he looked up at the old monk beside him.

"Biwako, you're getting old too."

The old abbot held the rosary in his hand, raised his eyelids to reveal cloudy eyes, and a touch of nostalgia disappeared in a flash.

He once thought of running under the sunset that day, that was his lost youth.

"We are all mortals, who can be like this Buddha statue, which has not changed for decades." Sarutobi Lake Biwa said with emotion.

"That's right, 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you haven't been here for 20 years."

At this moment, the turbidity in the abbot's eyes has all dissipated, and the eyes of the whole person are full of energy, as if they have been reborn!
"Then why did you come to the Temple of Fire today?"

"For the peace of the Fire Nation."

Sarutobi Biwako quietly expressed his intention: Konoha's current military strength is not yet perfect, the actions of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo are likely to trigger another war, and Konoha, we cannot lose!
Therefore, the Fire Temple with its powerful monks has become a force that Konoha must strive for.

"The sand ninjas are making a lot of moves now, but Konoha has not recovered from the last war. In order to prevent the territory of the fire country from being violated and the people of the fire country to not be disturbed by the war, I can only come to the fire country Temple, unite the only ninja force in the Fire Country besides Konoha."

"We are monks and monks, so we can't pay attention to these worldly disturbances." The abbot said calmly.

He knows more about Konoha's virtues than anyone else. Now that everything is stable, but Konoha is preparing for war, then Konoha must be playing tricks behind it!
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, each of these two guys is a good thing!

"Lake Biwa, if you come to chant scriptures, the Temple of Fire will definitely welcome you. If you are here for other things, the gate is there, and I will not send you off."

After the abbot finished speaking, he turned around and left without dragging his feet. This walk also choked to death on the words that Sarutobi Lake Biwa had prepared long ago.

"Ma'am, do you want me?"

Tao Yan's intermediary raised his hand into a knife, and made a gesture on his neck, the meaning was quite obvious.

Although he didn't know the story behind these two old people, it didn't prevent him from expressing his loyalty in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen indirectly.

Judging from Sarutobi Lake Biwa's words, she obviously knows a lot of inside information, and she must play some important role this time.

And if all of this was said to be without the instruction of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would not believe it even if he killed Sarutobi Asuma.

Obviously, as Sarutobi Hiruzen's wife, Sarutobi Biwako is naturally not someone to take it easy!
"No, you can go out first. I haven't been here to chant sutras for a long time."

Sarutobi Biwako closed his eyes, folded his hands and knelt in front of the Buddha statue.

It's been 20 years, but I didn't come to fulfill my wish
