Cemeteries are basically owned by temples. There are many people but little land, and the price of cemeteries is very high. It is an absolutely lucrative industry that exceeds real estate, and it is a "franchise" monopolized by monks.

The people in the country have various beliefs when they are alive, but after they die, they will go to the temple for funerals.

Relatives are buried in the temple's cemetery, and the family has to pay a large amount of cemetery management fees every year.

If you want your deceased relatives to go to the Pure Land, you must ask a monk to give the deceased a Buddhist name, which is another huge expense.

In addition to the incense offerings, donations from believers, and fees for hosting weddings and funerals,

The economic income is extremely rich and stable, and as a monk, you don't need to pay taxes.

As a result, they also have an absolute advantage in marriage and love...

The monks in the ninja world, with the support of the Fire Temple, will be far more outrageous than them!!!

Chapter 282: The solution to the Fire Temple! Shikamaru: Let the Fire Temple

Temple is great again!

Di Lu was silent, with his head lowered, chanting the Buddha's name.

He was not completely unaware of these things, and he had some understanding of them.

However, he may have compassion in his heart... but he can do nothing about the reality.

He is indeed a great monk, but he is also the abbot of the Fire Temple, the holy land of Buddhism, and the leader of countless monks in the Fire Country.

We should give more consideration to the development and continuation of Buddhism and not act arbitrarily.

Moreover, the supreme power and prestige he possessed within Buddhism were all gained through the support of countless monks from the Fire Temple and the Fire Country.

When he fights for the interests of Buddhism and countless monks, everyone will unconditionally support and obey him;

When he was about to restrict the rights of the Fire Temple and the countless monks under it and turn the knife on his own people,

But it is extremely difficult, and few people will continue to obey him and assist him.

He can't accomplish anything.

In the end, either you give up or you are "abandoned"...

In the group going up the mountain, a few old monks at the end hurried up.

It was unknown what force had enabled them to overcome their fear of Dairinyi and the Anbu ninjas.

The huge benefits that are hard to give up? The sense of mission to represent the rights and status of monks all over the world? The sense of mission to continue the glory of Buddhism?

…The Fire Temple has been supporting monks for hundreds of years, and they are dying for justice today?

After performing a Buddhist ceremony, he asked Da Renyi in a humble but hostile tone:

"May I ask the Lord of the Patrol Department, Konoha and the Hokage, how are you going to treat my Fire Temple and my Buddhist sect?"

"It's probably just a small matter like all monks must pay taxes, 70% to 80% of the monks in the Fire Country will be dismissed through assessment, and more than half of the Fire Temple's property will be confiscated through fines to subsidize the people..."

Da Renyi said something casually, with a nonchalant attitude, not taking it to heart.

Seeing that they were going to ask more questions, he reached out and pulled Shikamaru over to him, and said perfunctorily,

"Just discuss these matters with the commander of the Sky Patrol Department. I'm just here to have fun."

Several old monks were speechless, their faces filled with resentment and indignation. They organized their words in their minds and were about to passionately refute, but they found that they could not move.

They rolled their eyes and looked down, and noticed from the corner of their eyes,

Several dark shadows on the ground extended from under Shikamaru's feet and connected to his own shadow.

"Hey, don't cause me any trouble!"

Shikamaru put down his hands, lazily complaining helplessly.

He noticed that Da Renyi's eyes were already a little impatient.

If I don't take action, something might go wrong and I might even be implicated.

As he said that, Shikamaru stopped, turned around, waved to stop the many monks representatives of the Fire Temple, and greeted them consciously:

"If you have any opinions or suggestions, you can talk to me... although I may not listen to them!"

Wasn't he brought here by Da Renyi to deal with matters like this?

Of course, if there were other options, Shikamaru would not be willing to do such troublesome things.

Unfortunately, he had no choice.

"Konoha is going too far..."

An old monk with white hair and beard pointed a trembling finger at me and started to curse.

"Zheng!" The sound of ninja swords being unsheathed rang out, becoming one and the same.

The Anbu ninjas all stopped in unison, turned around, formed a human wall, and stared at them silently.

“…We can discuss this!

The Fire Temple will actively cooperate, spend all the temple's money, and save all living beings.

To save and help hundreds of millions of people, and to enable all believers to escape suffering and enjoy a happy life, is the true intention of our Buddha!

If you cannot memorize the Buddhist scriptures, do not understand the true meaning of the scriptures, and have only a superficial understanding of Buddhism,

All those fake monks who disguised themselves as monks and sneaked into our Buddhist sect should be dismissed and expelled from the monastic community!"

Facing the sunlight, the sharp blades of the ninja swords flashed with a cold light.

All the monks, big and small, regained their sanity in an instant!

The old monk immediately changed his words.

He became the vanguard of Buddhist reform and took the initiative to develop a detailed solution based on the few words just summarized by Da Renyi.

These killers really dare to draw their swords!

...It is better to suffer serious losses in assets, rights, power, and great damage to vitality than to be wiped out directly.

With a bitter face, he chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice. The old monk was so distressed that he almost fainted.

He had just been threatened and intimidated once, but he was unwilling to try again.

As an old man who considered himself "highly respected", he originally intended to express his attitude "firmly".

Play some bargaining chips, act pitiful, use both soft and hard tactics, and negotiate terms with the Konoha side.

Get as much benefit as you can,

"Diplomatic negotiations"!

Be meticulous and try every step to understand each other's bottom line, and then try to reach an agreement that both parties are "satisfied with".

As the head of the "Foreign Affairs Bureau" that manages the monks in charge of the Fire Temple, he is a professional in this area.

But who would have thought that the people of Konoha were so unruly that they actually drew their swords.

Don't talk about martial arts!

…It’s like a scholar meeting a soldier, “reason” is no match for “physics”.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master!

The Fire Nation is in urgent need of start-up funds for many major projects and changes that will benefit all the people.

The masters of the Fire Temple are willing to donate generously to help sentient beings. They are willing to spend all their wealth, live a simple life, and donate their private property.

For such great compassion and Buddha's heart, I, Shikamaru, and all the members of the Sky Patrol would like to thank the Master on behalf of hundreds of millions of people!

Please rest assured, Master. I, the Sky Patrol Officer, will certainly repay you.

The entire department will do its utmost to strictly investigate all monks and find out all the bad monks in the Fire Nation.

We will never allow them to continue to damage the reputation of Buddhism!

From now on, only masters who are truly transcendent, different from ordinary people, and specialized in Buddhist principles,

Only then can you be qualified to become a formal monk with a certificate of ordination!"

Shikamaru spoke eloquently, bowed and thanked the monks with a dignified and admiring look on his face.

It seems that he is convinced by the morality and character of the "high monks" of the Fire Temple.

Finally, he added, or rather, “finished the job”,

“Are ordinary people qualified to become formal monks?

No, they don’t deserve it!

If you cannot realize that the four elements are empty, you cannot purify the six senses.

Your heart and mind are filled with worldly thoughts, how can you be a true monk? "

For a moment, the whole place fell silent.

The monks looked at each other, their faces flushed with fear, and they had nothing to say.

They found it difficult to refute what Shikamaru said.

But according to this standard, how many monks are left in the world?

This is going to be a "wild family"...

"Uh, uh..."

The old monk's face was distorted, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart and lungs, and was dizzy from the stimulation. Then, his eyes went black, and he fell backwards and fainted.

The last thought in my mind before I lost consciousness was,

The thousand-year accumulation of the Fire Temple and the prosperity of Buddhism were all destroyed in an instant!

"Master, you are obsessed!"

Looking at the monks of the Fire Temple who were in a mess and rushing to help the old monk,

Shikamaru shook his head with regret and sighed,

“Too persistent, can’t see clearly, can’t let go!

According to this standard, the Fire Temple may decline and wither in terms of numbers and power.

But it is also possible that it will become truly great!

In this world, quality is far more important than quantity.”

Chapter 283 The Twelve Guardian Ninjas of the "Reformists"! Who are the "

Jade"? Naruto's wild fanatic!

Shikamaru and a group of Konoha Anbu ninjas stopped the other monks far behind.

Da Renyi, accompanied and guided by Di Lu, walked towards the Fire Temple. Along the way, Di Lu kept introducing the scenery along the way.

With a long history of accumulation, almost every scene on the roadside has a corresponding story.

The "tour guide" Di Lu suppressed his worries deep in his heart, and chatted calmly and smilingly with Da Renyi with a normal expression.

"I plan to build a new academy on this mountain as a special branch of Konohagakure. Master Jilu, are you interested in serving as the principal of the academy?"

Da Renyi suddenly spoke up,

Originally, he planned to transform the Fire Temple into an academy, but the Earth Land gave him a lot of inspiration and enlightenment.

Therefore, the thousand-year-old temple survived the disaster and was fortunately preserved.

"My humble monk..." Di Lu wanted to refuse, but after looking at Da Renyi's expression, he tactfully agreed.

"…I am honored to receive your kindness, Lord Patrolman!"

"The construction of the academy, as well as the recruitment and management of teachers and staff within the academy, are all handed over to you. Konoha will assign you an assistant to assist you in the future."

Da Renyi nodded with satisfaction. He was a monk who knew the current situation.

Then, he considered, "As for the name of the college, it is built on a mountain with a big river flowing under it.

Let's call it 'Shanhe College'!"

"What a good name!" Di Lu praised and flattered, turning his head slightly to glance at Shikamaru and the monks of the Fire Temple in the distance on the mountain road behind him, and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
