The Legend of Hinata of Konoha

Chapter 373 The Temple
Because Yi Zhe wasted a lot of time, in order to recover the time, the two had to speed up their pace, shortening the original six-hour journey to three hours.

Finally, in the evening, I arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Temple of Fire is located.

Looking from a distance, the two could vaguely see a temple with white walls and black roof in the dense forest. Even standing at the foot of the mountain, they could faintly hear the solemn bells singing.

"I...I...I said...you...how do you...look...it seems...that there is nothing...all right?" Asma looked at the young man beside him who was only short of breath. asked out of breath.

You know, he is one of the elite jounin in the village, and he is actually inferior to such an underage child in terms of physical strength, which really makes him feel a little embarrassed.

Yizhe smiled slightly, and joked: "Although I look young, it doesn't mean that my physical fitness is worse than yours!"

"Even if it's the entire Konoha, it's estimated that there are not many people who can compare with me in physical fitness!"

"Compared to me, you have no chance of winning!"

Since practicing the 'Baihao Zhishu', his body has been nourished by the 'Yin Seal' all the time, whether it is recovery ability, endurance, or ability to resist blows, it is gradually improving.

The true quality of the body far exceeds what he can possess at his age.Except for those who are gifted or have corresponding secret skills, it is impossible for ordinary people to compare with him.

"If I had known...it would be like this, I...I...shouldn't have run so fast in the first place!" Asma found a big tree from the side and collapsed directly against it.

It seems that I am really tired.

He looked up at the top of the mountain, and said slowly: "Soon... we will reach the ground, let me rest... rest for a while... and then..."

Seeing his sweating profusely and tired face, he didn't want to say anything, so he just found a clean place to sit down next to him, and then took a rest.

"I've always been curious about something, and wanted to ask you." Yi Zhe looked at the young man paralyzed under the big tree.

"What's the matter?" Asma replied weakly.

"Your surname is Sarutobi, and the old man's surname is also Sarutobi, and I think the relationship between you two is very close, so I want to ask, what is the relationship between you two?" Yizhe looked at the other party curiously.

From Muye Village to the Temple of Fire, Asma talked eloquently and talked all the way. Obviously, this is a very talkative man.

That's why he dared to inquire about other people's privacy so presumptuously.

"You mean this?" Asma was a little surprised. He thought it was something important, and wanted to ask this after a long time.

He waved his hand and replied nonchalantly, "That's my father."

"Ah? Ah!" Yi Zhe was surprised.

The bearded young man in front of him, who looked somewhat unscrupulous, turned out to be the very serious son of the third Hokage.

"Is it necessary to be so surprised?" Seeing the stunned look of the young man, Asma was a little dissatisfied.

"No, I just think your temperament is too different from that of the third generation! You don't look like father and son at all!" Yizhe explained with a wry smile.

"Everyone is born different. There are differences between father and son. This is normal. What's so strange about it!" Asma muttered, turned over, and continued to lie in another position.

"That's right! It's me!" Yi Zhe said in embarrassment.

After resting for nearly half an hour, Asma recovered a lot of energy, and he slowly climbed up while holding on to the tree trunk.

"Why don't you rest for a while?" Seeing that he was still a little weak, Yi Zhe was a little worried.

"No!" Asma waved her hand and said, "The fire temple and his party are mainly for investigation tasks, not involving combat, so it's okay to be in a bad state!"

"Besides, there are still many wounded waiting for you! We can't delay any longer!"

Seeing his serious look, Yi Zhe didn't stop persuading him, immediately put his luggage on his back and went up the mountain together.

Fortunately, the mountain was not too high, and they were about to reach their destination. Considering Asma's situation, neither of them rushed too fast, but walked slowly up the mountain.

Passing through the dense forest, after a while, a majestic temple appeared in front of us.

There is a red plaque hanging under the eaves, with three large black characters written, 'Temple of Fire'.

Under the plaque, there are two tattered, thick and heavy iron doors that can barely be seen in yellowish brown.

It seems that when it is complete, the weight should not be light.

There is no residue of the iron gate on the ground, and it is estimated that it should have been cleaned up.

On both sides of the gate, there are two stone sculptures, or more appropriately, statues of gods.

Both are ghost-faced monk robes, glaring at each other.

However, Yi Zhe guessed that what the two statues were looking at should be the people passing through the gate, not each other.

Because, people who pass through the gate and enter the Temple of Fire must walk between the two statues.

From the pedestrian's point of view, the two god statues should be examining the passing pedestrians, so that those with ulterior motives will retreat.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Seeing the two dilapidated iron gates, Asma kept smacking her lips, gloating: "Even the 'Iron Seal Wall' has been smashed! The face of the Temple of Fire is shameful." Big hair!"

"'Iron Sealing Wall'?" Yi Zhe looked curiously at the young man next to him, hearing what he said, those two dilapidated iron gates had other tricks.

"Ok!"

Seeing the boy's doubts, Asma glanced at the broken gate and explained: "These two gates of the Temple of Fire are not ordinary gates!"

"It is a barrier blessed with special enchantment ninjutsu and sealing techniques, and has extraordinary defensive capabilities!"

"Only the monks of the Temple of Fire can open it with Chakra, the talent of the immortal clan. In other words, without the guidance of the monks of the Temple of Fire, outsiders who want to enter or escape from the Temple of Fire can only use brute force The barrier is broken!"

"As far as I know, the 'seal barrier' of the Temple of Fire has never been broken! At least, according to their current historical records, there has never been an example of being broken!"

"And the fire temple's request for help said that the culprit of the whole incident is a child under ten years old!"

"It's really hard for me to imagine what kind of child it is that can break this 'sealed iron wall' that has never been broken!"

Asma sighed unceasingly. He thought that Temple of Fire's request for help was a little exaggerated, but judging from the current situation, even the "iron seal wall" was broken, which shows that the danger last night was extraordinary.

As soon as the words fell, a limping bald man came out of the gate.

She was dressed in a white robe and a gray-blue gown. Although she was wounded, she still couldn't hide the solemn look on her face.

Judging by his temperament, he must be a monk in this ninja world.

"Two benefactors! The abbot has been waiting for you for a long time!" The young monk saluted the two respectfully, his tone was a little eager, but still polite.

　In the original book, Sora was ten years old when he ran away in the Temple of Fire.

　　And at the time in my article, he was only about six years old at this time.

　　This... was my mistake, I misremembered the time of Sora's rampage at the beginning, but it shouldn't affect the overall situation...
