Jiraiya and Naruto, who left Konoha Village, did not have a clear target location, mainly wandering within the confines of the Fire Country.

However, unlike when Jiraiya traveled before, after leaving Konoha Village with Naruto, Jiraiya's location is no longer limited to bustling towns, and sometimes some remote and secluded mountain villages will also welcome Jiraiya and Naruto's visits.

Sure enough, there is no shortage of stories in remote places like these, where bullying often occurs, and where weird creatures often avoid crowds and appear in sparsely populated places.

Of course, Jiraiya and Naruto have also done some chivalrous and unfair things, and gained some valuable experience.

In addition to these heroic deeds that are relatively daily for legendary-level ninjas, Naruto's daily job is to practice, and Jiraiya spends most of his day collecting wind and writing books, occasionally guiding Naruto's cultivation, and regularly sending the manuscripts he writes to the publishing house.

It's just that when Jiraiya occasionally comes back to his senses in a leisurely and fulfilling "noisy" life, he finds that he has been away from the village for a long time, but he still has nothing to learn about "Fantastic Beasts".

This time he brought Naruto out to practice, and he also had several main purposes.

On the one hand, it is to help Naruto practice and fulfill his promise to Bo Feng Shuimen, so that Naruto can completely control the power of the Nine-Tails one day in the future.

On the other hand, Jiraiya once learned about a ninja organization called "Akatsuki" when he was traveling before.

This ninja organization is different from ordinary ninja organizations, this group of people is very mysterious, and the organization is full of masters, and the leader is even more unknown.

And no matter how difficult it is, this organization can take on the task of dirty hands, and it is easy to complete, and it has now become the ninja organization with the highest roll call rate on the black market.

It is said that Orochimaru was also a member of this organization at the same time, and after the Shinobi exam, judging from the sightings of Konoha ninjas in Konoha Village, Uchiha Itachi is now also a member of this organization.

Uchiha Itachi is an important person to understand the night of the Uchiha's extermination, and if he can get in touch with this person, he may be able to solve the doubts of his teacher Sarutobi before his death.

And Uchiha Sasuke has always been worried about the demise of the Uchiha clan, and he must have come into contact with Uchiha Itachi sooner or later.

If you can use Uchiha Itachi as a bridge and see the defected Uchiha Sasuke, it can be regarded as a wish of Naruto.

After all, in the dead of night, Jiraiya can occasionally hear Naruto calling Sasuke's name in his sleep.

Sass gives, sas gives...

The last purpose is that Zilai also hopes to discover more strange creatures in the way of travel.

It's a pity that it has been a few months since I left Konoha Village, and I haven't found any more strange creatures, and even the signs of the existence of those creatures that have appeared have never been seen again.

This made Jiraiya a little depressed, but at the same time, it also showed that the existence of these strange creatures is not large-scale and large-scale, and most people's lives will not be affected by the existence of these creatures.

However, Zilai, who knew the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal, also knew that the existence and appearance of these creatures was not accidental, and the lives of more people would be affected as a result.

It's just a matter of time...

......

On this day, the rain poured down on the heads of Naruto and Jiraiya.

The two of them walked on the land of a forest somewhere in the land of fire, and the dull air pressure made the atmosphere of the two a little depressing.

After more than two hours of rain pouring down on his head like a "Daigo empowerment", Naruto finally couldn't hold back.

"Lustful immortals! Why don't you take the main road to the town instead of the path in the forest? ”

Naruto, who was drenched and in a terrible mood, complained loudly, his exaggerated and energetic movements made it hard to imagine that he would catch a cold in this level of rain.

However, Jiraiya still said comfortingly: "Don't be anxious, traveling in the rain is also a kind of ninja practice." ”

"Uh..."

Naruto's eyes were full of suspicion as he looked at Jiraiya, which made Jiraiya immediately start a round.

"Look, there's a temple there, so if you want to shelter from the rain, run quickly."

After saying that, Jiraiya immediately ran towards a temple halfway up the mountain, whose dome could still be exposed among the surrounding towering ancient trees.

"Wait for me!"

Naruto immediately followed and ran through the muddy wetlands.

...

After a short time of hurrying, the old and the young soon came to the front of the temple.

This is quite a magnificent temple, and just by standing at the door of the temple, the two of them can already feel the majesty of the entire temple.

On the high stone steps in front of the temple gate, two lifelike Vajra Arhats are like fangs and claws, and their angry eyes are vivid.

"Wow! Where is the temple? It's huge! ”

At this time, Naruto, who had not seen a lot, let out an exclamation, and Jiraiya explained lightly: "This is the Temple of Fire, and it is also the largest ninja temple in the country of Fire. ”

"Ninja Temple?"

"That's right, the monks in this temple are all ninjas, and the abbot of the temple is even more skilled."

While looking at the towering Qiongyu Pavilion, Jiraiya recalled in his heart the original appearance of the Temple of Fire.

A long time ago, the Temple of Fire was far less imposing than it is now, it was just a secret organization built on the mountainside, using the temple as a cover, and in fact secretly cultivating killer ninjas.

But I didn't expect that after all these years, this temple has established a cooperative relationship with Konoha Village, and it has been managed in a good way, and it really looks like a normal temple from a distance.

It seems that the new abbot of the Fire Temple many years ago really has some skills.

With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Jiraiya took Naruto to knock on the gate of the temple.

After a while, a gap finally opened between the two gates, and inside a monk came out to receive them.

"Are you two donors who came to offer incense? If so, please note that no outsiders have been allowed to enter the temple recently. ”

The monks of the temple were very humble, and they folded their hands and bowed to Jiraiya, so that they could not tell that this was a ninja monk at all.

But it is precisely this gentle and elegant atmosphere that makes people completely unguessed a long time ago that this is a terrifying organization composed entirely of killer ninjas.

And although Jiraiya is not a good man or woman, he still returned a one-handed salute and said: "We are the ninjas of Konoha and want to stay here for one night, and we will leave at dawn tomorrow." ”

Hearing the words "Konoha Ninja", the monk's eyes immediately lit up, and then he looked down at Naruto's forehead guard on the top of Naruto's head that was covered by Ruhai'er's soaking, and found that it was indeed Konoha's forehead guard.

But after thinking for two seconds, the monk shook his head.

"I still can't make the decision on this matter, I'd better go and ask the abbot of the temple, Lord Dilu..."
