Konoha's Shiranui Genma

Shiranui Genma: "In the past year, Asma has changed a lot and is no longer so impulsive. After this time, I don't think he will stay in the Daming Mansion again."

"Of course, he seems to still have some grudges against you. Whether he will return to Konoha or not is hard to say for the time being."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly, sighed, and said nothing.

Under the personal supervision of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konoha ANBU took just two days to pry out what Konoha wanted from the mouths of Kazuma and others.

According to the confessions of several people, the coup d'état was an operation directed by Ryu Asasugi and organized by Kazuma. The six Guardian Shinobi of the Fire Country colluded with the Ricura Daming House in an attempt to assassinate Daimyo and Toyo Asasugi.

The news spread quickly, and Chaoshanlong and Licang Daming Mansion immediately became the targets of criticism.

The entire army of ninjas supporting Asasugi Ryu from the Ricang Daming Mansion was annihilated. Coupled with the condemnation from all parties, the original momentum of Ricang Daming Mansion's triumphant advances was immediately thwarted.

The relationship between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire also became tense, and swords were tense for a while.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa saw the opportunity and used this as an excuse to get back part of the cut funds from the Daming Mansion to expand the ninja team.

The struggle between the Daming Mansion and Ninja Village within the Land of Wind has thus been balanced, and the advantages accumulated by the Ricang Daming Mansion in recent years have basically disappeared.

In the Land of Fire, Asasugi Ryu's treasonous behavior has been basically confirmed, but his father, the current daimyo Asasugiwa, is really a weak character.

Even when things have come to this point, the daimyo is still speaking for Chao Sugilong, so Chao Sugilong has not been convicted for a long time.

However, Chao Shanlong was a straightforward person and committed suicide directly.

Three days after Asugi Ryu committed suicide, Mrs. Ji Zhimei had a miscarriage for unknown reasons. Daming Mansion fell into extreme depression, and gray emotions permeated Daming Mansion and even the entire Kamikawa City.

As a result, Konoha Village, which was already very powerful, gained further authority.

As far as Shiranui Genma knows, Konoha Village has officially started planning to divide and merge some departments under the jurisdiction of Daming Prefecture into the functional system of Konoha Village.

The daimyo has been staying behind closed doors lately, and perhaps he has not noticed at all that the power of the Fire Nation has begun to lean towards Konoha Village in an all-round way.

At noon that day, Shiranui Genma, Asuma, and Chiriku sat around the table to eat, and Asuma smoked silently.

After a moment passed, Shiranui Genma looked at Asuma: "So, what have you thought about it? Are you still unwilling to return to Konoha?"

Jilu also raised his head and looked at Asuma.

After the Nanakumo Incident and Asugi Ryu's coup, Asuma's illusions about the Daming Palace were basically shattered, and he quit the ranks of the Guardian Shinobi without much hesitation. Although the 35 million bounty was still on the list of the Black Gold Organization, superior.

The same goes for Jilu. Together with Asuma, he withdrew from the ranks of the Fire Country's guardian ninja, leaving only information about a reward of 30 million.

However, just as Shiranui Genma thought, Asuma's attitude towards the question of whether to return to Konoha is still unclear, and he may even be inclined to deny it.

For half a minute, Asma didn't say a word, just smoked until the cigarette in her mouth burned out.

"No." He put down his cigarette butt, bowed his head and said something.

This answer did not go beyond the expectations of Shiranui Genma and Jiriku. Shiranui Genma then asked: "Then where are you going?"

Asuma said: "I am going to the Temple of Fire with Jilu."

"Fire Temple" Shiranui Genma was stunned, and Jilu was also a little surprised.

Asma nodded: "I've had enough of staying in the three major centers of the Land of Fire, Daming Mansion, and Konoha Village. In that case, let's go to the Temple of Fire. It feels pretty good there, at least it's quiet."

Although in terms of politics, military affairs, and economy, the influence of the Temple of Fire is far less than that of Konoha Village and Daming Mansion, but in terms of religion and culture, the Temple of Fire is a well-deserved leader.

Not only in the Land of Fire, but also in the entire ninja world, the Fire Temple is a holy place in the field of religion, which everyone knows and knows.

Shiranui Genma: "Don't you want to become a monk?"

Asma frowned, as if suddenly realizing that there was another choice in life, and fell into deep thought for a while.

"Let's forget about becoming a monk." After a while, he waved his hand and said.

He then said: "Xuanjian, where are you going? If nothing happens, how about coming with us to the Temple of Fire?"

Shiranui Xuanjian thought for two seconds, then nodded: "Okay."

Although the Temple of Fire is well-known, he has never been to it so far, and now he just happened to visit it.

The three of them finished their meal quickly.

Shiranui Genma asked: "How is the situation of the guardian ninja?"

Asuma seemed to be sighing: "After Jilu and I left, the only guardian ninjas left were Hokune and Seito. Seito lost an arm, and at most he still had the strength of a chuunin. So in fact, only Hokune was left as the guardian ninja. one person"

Shiranui Genma: "There are no new ninjas joining yet."

"No." Asma shook her head. "Although the external recruitment will continue, it seems that it will be very difficult for the Daming Prefecture to recruit ninjas with the strength of the ninja."

"However, as far as I know, two of the ninjas cultivated by the Daming Mansion are pretty good, already exceeding the average level of the Chunin. The Daming Mansion should soon let them enter the guardian ninja."

The next day, under the guidance of Dilu, the three of Shiranui Xuanjian set off from Shenchuan on Ah Shui to the Temple of Fire.

When the three of them arrived at their destination that day, a magnificent temple came into view.

After getting off Ah Shui and walking forward for a while, Shiranui Genma looked up.

Standing in front of the three people is a steel gate more than ten meters high. There is a statue of a god on both sides of the gate. The shape is ancient and full of traces of time. The atmosphere of vicissitudes of life blows towards them.

There is a plaque above the gate, which reads: Temple of Fire.

This is what Fire Temple Shiranui Genma thought silently.

Di Lu walked to the door in a few steps, clasped his hands together, and a pale golden light glowed on his body immediately, gathering into a statue of Buddha, exuding a solemn and solemn aura.

He closed his eyes, seemed to whisper a few words, and then said: "Open."

The statue of Buddha behind him burst into golden light immediately, and pointed at the gate with his palm.

"Boom"

Amidst a rumbling sound, the steel gate opened by itself, and the two doors opened all the way to the palms of the two statues, as if two gods opened the gate.

As a smooth stone road appeared, the scene inside the temple gradually came into view.

"Let's go." Di Lu smiled, and then walked into the temple first.

Asuma followed closely, and Shiranui Genma also quickly followed, entering the Fire Temple together.
