In Konoha, Naruto lies down

..........

Two days later, Naruto was ready to set off to the Fire Temple to deliver the letter.

Tayuya prepared breakfast almost early in the morning, and Naruto was a little surprised to see the sumptuous breakfast after washing up.

"Isn't it sold on the street?"

"It's a bit expensive," she replied.

Naruto blinked, and he seemed to hear the sound again, Tayuya said "My money!"

Over the past two days, the two of them walked everywhere they could in the vicinity, all because of Naruto's words: "I won't get bored even if I walk with you for a whole day." So, the two of them walked for two days.

He wasn't bored, but he was tired.

This kind of date is too hardcore. If the mission deadline wasn't almost up, this situation would probably last for a few more days.

"I'm leaving." Naruto had already reached the door when he suddenly realized that Tayuya was hiding behind the sofa, looking at him with only her head sticking out. "What's wrong?"

Duoyouya let out an awkward "ah" and stood up directly. She took small steps to the door, tilted her head to one side and spoke in a low voice.

"Please be careful out there, Master."

"What?" Naruto was stunned.

Before he could savor the thought, Tayuya pushed him out the door, and it closed with a bang. Naruto froze for a moment outside the door, then subconsciously reached for the key in his pocket.

But after thinking about it, he left.

In the living room, Tayuya was rolling around on the sofa in shame! No! This is too embarrassing. I won't give him any money! ...Give him a little less.

Temple of Fire.

Naruto met Master Dilu and successfully delivered the letter.

Di Lu had a calm expression and a handsome face, exuding the reserved aura of a highly accomplished monk. The surrounding monks all addressed Di Lu as "Lord Di Lu" with respect.

"The Fire Temple is so huge," Naruto exclaimed, looking up and taking a quick look at the huge Buddha statue in the main hall. It was a ferocious looking Buddha, with dozens of disciples sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Di Lu was standing there in a thin monk's robe, with a peaceful smile on his face.

"After all, it's a ninja temple in the Land of Fire. It's a little bit famous, so it's just a little more popular."

"Master Dilu must be famous, right?" Naruto said with a smile. "I think it must be very hard for Master Dilu to run this temple like this. After all, reputation is a double-edged sword."

Di Lu pursed his lips slightly, nodded with a smile in his eyes.

"There's no such thing as hardship when it comes to spiritual practice. Managing a temple is simply a duty."

"Master, you see things clearly." Naruto could feel the kindness and justice in the other person's words, and couldn't help but remind him.

"Master Dilu should be careful..."

Before he could finish his words, Di Lu suddenly interrupted him.

"Since Lady Tsunade's letter has been delivered, why don't you invite Lady Naruto to the back hall for tea? The tea of ​​the Fire Temple is more famous than mine."

Naruto opened his mouth, knowing that Dilu had something to say.

"it is good."

Chapter 193: I am just an ordinary Fire Temple brother

"Please follow me." Di Lu stepped aside and motioned Naruto to follow.

The two of them walked through the front hall, down the vermilion corridor, and finally stopped in front of a long row of side rooms in the back hall. Di Lu made a gesture of invitation and turned to push open the door of the third side room.

Naruto sat down casually, and Dilu had already picked up the kettle and began to show his simple tea-making skills.

"Master, your method of making tea is truly...simple and uncomplicated." Naruto complimented.

Di Lu laughed and said as he poured tea.

"There's no need for flattery between the two of us. I'll call you Naruto and you can just call me Dilu."

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Naruto said with a wry smile.

He could probably guess why Dilu was so kind to him. As a well-known ninja temple in the Land of Fire, the Fire Temple has always had a close relationship with Konoha.

Naruto had always had a close relationship with Tsunade, and he had the illusion of being in the middle of nowhere. He had no idea how much influence the veteran Sannin had.

Putting aside their combat prowess, their record and qualifications would allow them to become village Kages. Jiraiya was not only a great writer in the 404 world, but also a master of immortal arts.

There are only a few immortal inheritances, and they are all taken by Konoha.

As for Naruto, who is favored by such a huge amount of resources, his identity in fantasy novels would be Uzumaki Naruto, the holy son of the Konoha Immortal Sect, a true second-generation immortal.

While ninjas from other ninja villages were still struggling to learn crappy ninjutsu, Konoha had already prepared various forbidden techniques for him to learn.

Tsunade's letter was not the main point. Her original intention was just to let Naruto go to the Fire Temple to make some acquaintances with Ji Lu. Ji Lu was young and promising, so he naturally understood Tsunade's intention.

The Fifth Hokage was paving the way for the young man in front of him, and he just went with the flow, inheriting the Fifth Hokage's kindness while also making a good relationship with Naruto.

"I'm only a few years older than you, and calling me Lord Di Lu is truly unbearable for me." Di Lu said cheerfully, "Tea is like people. Expensive tea sets, elegant techniques, but in the end, it's just a bowl of hot water."

"There's no difference between me, the other monks of the Fire Temple, and you. We're all just human beings."

Hearing this, Naruto was slightly stunned. The tune sounded somewhat familiar, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Master, what you said doesn't make any sense, and to add that drinking tea is like being a person, I think it's a bit perverse. Is this just like saying something casually and then adding the word 'love' to it?"

"Why?" Di Lu asked with a smile.

"You can't drink boiling water right away, and the same goes for love." Naruto said casually, "Anyway, that's roughly what it means."

The steam from the tea cup rises, and time passes by bit by bit.

Naruto was surprised to find that Dilu was surprisingly talkative in private, unlike his cold appearance. The two chatted about some small things and talked about Tsunade.

As they talked, the topic turned to the Akatsuki organization.

Di Lu was quite surprised that Naruto knew the information about Akatsuki, but when he thought that Naruto's teacher was Jiraiya, he didn't find it strange.

After thinking for a moment, Di Lu said.

"I know very little about the Akatsuki organization. I only know that it's a group of S-rank wanted rebel ninjas. They wear black cloaks with red auspicious clouds, and they usually appear in pairs."

"Master Ji Lu still needs to be careful. The Fire Temple has made too many enemies, and Master Ji Lu is also their target." Naruto reminded.

Hearing this, Di Lu smiled anyway.

He looked at Naruto quietly and said, "I grew up in Buddhism. The Fire Temple is my home. Some troubles are unavoidable. Whether it's the Akatsuki organization or others, I can just face them calmly."

"Alright." Naruto also sighed. Since Dilu didn't want to hide, then he could only leave it to fate. "However, since I reminded him, Master Dilu should also be prepared, right?"

"Of course I understand. If there is any unusual movement, I will inform Konoha." Di Lu said, his face still calm, like a dead leaf in autumn.

Naruto couldn't convince the monk, so he simply changed the subject. He wasn't there just to chat.

"Master Dilu, do you know that gods exist in this world?"

"This..." Di Lu frowned and looked at Naruto deeply, "Ahem, I'm a monk, is it appropriate for you to ask me this topic?"

Naruto felt slightly embarrassed. It was like going to a temple to ask for advice, and he would be thrown out easily. What's more, he was asking the even more treacherous evil gods and the gods of death.

"Of course I wouldn't dare ask anyone else, but if I ask the knowledgeable Master Dilu, I think it shouldn't be a problem." Naruto said with a wry smile.

Di Lu was silent for a while, his expression solemn, and then he lowered his voice.

"You can't say that kind of thing casually, but you really asked the right person."

Hearing this, Naruto raised his eyebrows. He thought to himself, "It has to be you, Master Dilu. You're indeed the best friend of the sultry hunk Asuma. It won't take more than three seconds."

"You should know that I have a friendship with Asuma, right?" Di Lu asked.

"I don't know." Naruto shook his head, his lie was completely flawless.

"It's normal that he didn't tell anyone. Asuma was not like this before." Di Lu laughed and slowly fell into memories.

In general, there are only a few core ideas that Di Lu wants to express.

I regretted joining the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. I didn't do anything, but was involved in stupid and crappy things like the Daimyo, and out of thin air, someone offered a 30 million bounty on my head.

As the head of the Fire Temple, he was second only to the emperor and above a thousand men. He spent his free time training himself, then training the monks, a comfortable and dandy life.

I am so unlucky. When I was young, I got into trouble by taking a part-time job on impulse.

Finally, Daimyo is a jerk!

"These are all things from my youth, so let's not talk about them." Di Lu sighed and took a sip of the tea that had already gone cold.

Naruto blinked, thinking he hadn't asked about his past. He'd been asking if gods really existed, but Earth had automatically pulled him back into his memories.

Listening to Di Lu's rambling, Naruto felt a little overwhelmed, wondering where the aloof monk's dignity had gone?

"Master Jilu has a bounty of 30 million? I'm a little curious, how much is the bounty for Kakashi's body?" he suddenly asked.

Dilu asked, looking at Naruto with a very strange look.

"Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

"Ah? What do you mean?" Naruto was a little confused.

"Put a bounty on Kakashi's head? Is there still a need to put a bounty on his head?" Di Lu looked at Naruto, "Kakashi has offended too many people, so many that there is no need to put a bounty on him. If he could be killed, he would have been killed long ago."

"Given Kakashi's current status, even if a bounty is offered now, no one would dare to take it. The exchange office is a place where people hire murderers to settle personal grudges, but making money doesn't mean seeking death."

After Di Lu finished speaking, he finally started talking about the issue of gods.

"As for the gods you're asking about, I did have some knowledge of them when I was young. For example, there are cultists of evil gods active in the Land of Rivers, and other than that, there are also believers of the God of Death."

"So... do they exist?" Naruto asked cautiously.

"Do you think they exist?" Di Lu asked back.

"Me?" Naruto was a little confused. "I think... probably doesn't exist. There are only ninjutsu in this world..."

Di Lu reached out his hand, patted Naruto's shoulder a few times across the tea table and said.

"Where did ninjutsu come from in this world? Thousands of years ago, there were no records of ninjutsu, yet believers have always existed."

Naruto was tempted. He remembered the twenty-seven masks in the sealed space, and his heart suddenly warmed. It would be difficult to deal with a heretic like Hidan. If he could defeat magic with magic...

"But aren't they...deceased?" he asked.

"I don't know about that." Di Lu took a sip of tea and said casually, "I'm just a monk. I don't understand those messy pagan things."

"But if you really want to know, why not ask Lady Tsunade."

"ask her?"

"Don't underestimate Lady Tsunade. She is an amazing woman in the ninja world."

Chapter 194 Your Lie in April

"God?" Tsunade was slightly surprised and stared at Naruto with narrowed eyes. "Why are you asking this?"

In the Hokage's office.

Naruto sat in the chair opposite Tsunade, looking a little reserved. It wasn't because of the awkward topic, but simply because the other contestant was wearing black stockings.

Why does it look so familiar? Isn't that the black stockings of the ageless aunt?

Secretly wearing the female apprentice's black stockings?

Is Tsunade that perverted?

"I'm asking you, what are you looking at?" A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Tsunade's face.

"Nothing... nothing." Naruto came back to his senses. "I'm just a little curious. I've heard a little bit about the evil god during my previous missions in the Kingdom of Rivers and the Kingdom of Birds."

"But after all, I had never come into direct contact with evil gods and pagans, so at the time I was just curious and didn't take it seriously. But..."

Having said that, Naruto paused, stared at Tsunade seriously for a few seconds, and then continued.

"During the Snow Country mission, I felt the shipwreck was not an accident."

Tsunade paused her casual gaze on Naruto, raised her eyes slightly, and landed on his face before asking.

"What do you mean?"

"When the ship stopped at the port of the Land of Fire, a strange man appeared and I kicked him into the sea. However, now that I think about it, that man seemed to have attracted everyone's attention at the time."

Naruto chose his words carefully before saying, "Tsunade-sama, have you ever heard of the Evil God Festival?"
