Chapter 250: The Main Thing Is Being Able to Win
The Fire Temple, as the name suggests, is a temple filled with monks, most of whom are martial monks. Looking at their solid muscles, Naruto wondered if they even practiced Buddhism.
But when he thought about this being the Shinobi World, it all made sense. In a place like this, if you can't beat others, do you expect them to quietly listen to you preach?
The most famous preacher in this world is Hidan. Anyone who can't beat him has to listen to his ramblings obediently until he finishes his ritual. Although, after the ritual, the person being preached to is usually gone.
So, despite being strong, diligent, and having unwavering faith, in the end, he was the only one who believed in the so-called Evil God.
The monks of the Fire Temple probably don't preach violently. They practice martial arts only to avoid being beaten to death when they go out to preach, or so that people will give alms willingly.
Why do you think Tang Sanzang was able to get food so easily wherever he went on his journey to the West? It's probably not because everyone he met was kind or believed in Buddhism, but because he had three fighters behind him.
Naruto used to find it strange when watching TV shows, why the disciples always scared people when they knocked on the door, but Tang Sanzang always told them to knock? It's like giving them a warning (laughs).
So, if you want to do something in the Shinobi World, you need some kind of martial security. Therefore, it's understandable that there are more martial monks.
The person who came out to greet Naruto and the others was Chiriku, the highest combat power of the Fire Temple. He knows a secret technique called Sage Art, the effect of which looks like a miniature version of Susanoo or the Wood Human Technique.
His combat power can easily beat Kakuzu and Hidan in their normal states. He was also one of the Guardian Ninja Twelve and had a good relationship with Asuma.
His bounty in the black market is slightly less than Asuma's, only thirty million.
Well, the same price as Wang Luffy's first bounty, but he probably won't have the chance to become the Sun God.
"This humble monk is Chiriku, and I have come to welcome you. You have traveled far, and I thank you for your hard work," Chiriku greeted the four politely.
Kakashi stepped forward to answer, "We have been waiting for a long time. Regarding the mission, we hope to learn more information."
"That is to be expected. Please come inside to discuss it in detail." Chiriku turned and led them to the reception room, accompanied by two young monks.
Naruto, Sa, and Sakura were all here for the first time and curiously looked around.
Naruto was quickly drawn to a young boy practicing boxing, not because he was strong, but because Naruto sensed Nine Tails Chakra on him.
"Big Fox?" Naruto asked in the Sealing Space as if to confirm. Little Orange was eating, drinking, and having fun in Konoha and didn't come out.
"Indeed, it is my Chakra." The Nine Tails in the Sealing Space was also a little surprised, but after sensing the amount, he didn't care much. It scared him at first, thinking that Minato had split him into more than two halves back then.
"Can you find a way to recover it?" Naruto didn't want to leave the Nine Tails Chakra to the Akatsuki, even if it was just a little.
Speaking of which, there is still some at Ginkaku and Kinkaku's place. Should I find a way to dig up their graves? If Orochimaru was our ally, he would be a professional at this.
"I can, but I don't want it." The Nine Tails looked disgusted.
"Why? That's your Chakra."
"If you lose water because you sweat, would you want to drink the sweat back?"
"Ew~ I understand the principle, but there's no need to say it so disgustingly."
"That's pretty much what that stuff is to me. Someone probably collected it while I wasn't paying attention. Disgusting is a human thing."
"Enough, just tell me how to recover it. It will be troublesome if it falls into the hands of the Akatsuki."
The Nine Tails also knew about the Akatsuki collecting the Tailed Beasts and even knew what might appear after the Tailed Beasts were gathered, so he told Naruto the method:
"Release the seal on him, and then use my Chakra, or use that broken chain of yours to pull it out. You can play a game of Chakra tug-of-war."
"Okay, I understand."
...
The group sat down in the reception room, and Chiriku began, "Regarding this tomb raiding incident..."
"I'm sorry to interrupt you," Naruto raised his hand, "But before that, there's something I'd like to ask you."
His teammates all looked at Naruto with puzzled expressions. Chiriku had a good temper and wasn't angered by Naruto's rudeness, "Feel free to speak."
Naruto stared into his eyes and went straight to the point, "May I ask why the Fire Temple has Nine Tails Chakra, and a... pseudo-Jinchuriki?"
"What?" His teammates were shocked.
Chiriku himself remained calm, but the two young monks behind him became vigilant.
Kakashi asked seriously, "Naruto, are you sure?"
Naruto patted his stomach, "Can't be wrong."
In the Sealing Space, the Nine Tails complained unhappily, "Don't go banging on my front door for no reason, it's noisy."
"Master Chiriku, we hope you can give us a reasonable explanation for this matter, otherwise it will be difficult for us to handle."
Kakashi became serious. This was an act of stealing our village's Tsar Bomba, and even if it wasn't a complete one, the problem was still very serious.
Chiriku stared at Naruto for a while, "I see, so you're the Fourth Hokage's son. Rumor has it that you're a genius who can perfectly control the Nine Tails' power, it seems to be true. No wonder you were able to discover Kū's abnormality."
Kū, was the name of that pseudo-Jinchuriki boy, in fact, another translation is Sky. (Innocent smile)
"Master's information is quite well-informed, it seems that you don't just study Buddhist scriptures in the temple." Naruto taunted him.
"Impudent!"
"Rude!"
The two young monks couldn't hold back. Chiriku was an idol to most of the young people in the temple, how could they tolerate Naruto's sarcasm.
Sasuke and Sakura glared at them, also looking like they were ready to fight at any moment.
Naruto ignored them, anyway, they were in the right on this matter, and he felt that he could win, mainly because he thought he could win.
Chiriku waved his hand, signaling the two young monks to step back, and said with some guilt, "This matter arose because of our greed."
This honest friend of Asuma told the whole story.
It was on a night more than ten years ago, to be precise, the day Naruto was born, when the Nine Tails went berserk and some Chakra dissipated during the battle.
A group of people secretly collected this Nine Tails Chakra through secret methods and sealed it in Kū, who was just a child at the time, hoping to create a Nine Tails Jinchuriki.
That's why the Nine Tails felt that that bit of Chakra was like human sweat to him, and he didn't want to recover it.
And the one who led this matter back then was Kū's father, Kazuma, who was also one of the Guardian Ninja Twelve.
The reason they did this was because they hoped to one day have enough power to destroy Konoha, and then assist the Land of Fire Daimyo in establishing a Land of Fire completely centered on the Daimyo.
Even though the Land of Fire Daimyo himself didn't agree with this matter, after all, when Hashirama established Konoha in the Land of Fire, it was actually just a cooperative relationship with the Land of Fire.
However, the radicals led by Kazuma believed that they were doing this for the good of the Daimyo and for the good of the Land of Fire. In the end, the Guardian Ninja Twelve, who were originally responsible for protecting the Daimyo's safety, split, with some dying and others scattering.
Those who are still alive have basically become Kakuzu's hunting targets, walking around with over thirty million.
After Kazuma's death, Kū was taken to the Fire Temple by Chiriku and adopted, remaining there until now.
