Chapter 381: The Boy Called Empty
Under the leadership of Dilu, the two finally arrived at the guest room for resting.
The simple tatami room doesn't have much amenities, just a small table, candlesticks and a bed.
"The rooms here are relatively clean, and I will ask the monks to bring another bed to cover them later, and someone will bring you two to familiarize yourself with the location of the bathhouse and the dining hall later."
"Then there will be labor."
After Jilu left, Jilai also lit the candlestick on the table, and then searched the corners of the room with the candlestick.
"fairy, what are you doing?"
Naruto here had already begun to take off his wet clothes, and the water on his head was shaken, and the rain was splashed everywhere, but fortunately, the bangs on his head also stood up again, revealing the Konoha forehead protector that Naruto had always been proud of.
"I'm looking for a rat hole in the room, you don't want to open your eyes at night and there are a bunch of rats on the bed."
This statement immediately scared Naruto to tremble, and Naruto, who had a lot of imagination, immediately thought of that scene.
In the middle of the night, I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest when I was lying in bed, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that countless rats were lying on top of me, squatting around me, and making squeaky sounds.
This scene, just thinking about it, is very penetrating, even Naruto, who has always been not afraid of the sky and the earth, hurriedly begged Jiraiya, don't let go of every corner.
"Don't worry." Jilai also put the candlestick back on the table, "There are no rat holes found in this room, it's just..."
Jiraiya's nose twitched slightly, although Jiraiya's nose had been immersed in alcohol and women's perfume for a long time, it did not affect this nose in the slightest to exert its powerful attributes far beyond ordinary people.
At this time, in the air that should have been fresh, Zilai also smelled some strange smells mixed with a variety of peculiar smells.
Some of them are the musty smell of wood after soaking in water for a long time, which can easily give the illusion of age in a wooden house.
If this smell can be explained by the recent rain, the other one is a little strange.
It was the smell of animal feces, and although the smell was very weak and not easy for a careless ninja like Naruto to smell, Jiraiya was able to detect animal feces that could emit such a foul smell with his rich knowledge.
This is... Rat poop...
These two scents entangle with each other in this small space, making Jiraiya's nasal mucosa not so comfortable.
"Ahh
"Ahh
The master and apprentice sneezed at the same time, and it seemed that walking in the rain for hours without shelter would make even a ninja catch a cold.
At this moment, the sliding door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a young monk about Naruto's age stood outside the sliding door with a set of covers.
The sudden appearance surprised Naruto, because Naruto had just taken off his wet clothes and pants, and there was only one small pants on his body.
"Hey! Don't you knock on the door before you come in! ”
Naruto stood up and yelled at the young monk, and the young monk saw the snow-white man's body in front of him, although his face was slightly flushed, but his tone did not show any weakness in the slightest.
"Whoever told you to take off your clothes before it's time to go to bed is your own fault!"
"My clothes are wet, so I'm changing them, what's wrong with that? And it's still my room! ”
"How could this be your room? This is the temple room, which is only lent to you for a temporary stay! ”
"That's my room too!"
"It's not!"
"Yes!"
"You guy..."
Looking at the two and a half children arguing with each other, I was very helpless.
Naruto didn't forget it, but he didn't expect that there was a teenager with a similar temperament as Naruto in the Temple of Fire, which was called the "Killer Ninja Temple" a long time ago.
And although this young man is wearing the costume of a monk of the Fire Temple, the hair on his head is still there, and he has not been shaved, so his identity should not be as simple as a monk.
On top of that, in the unconscious breath of the young monk's irritable impulsiveness, he also felt some familiar feelings.
Naruto's argument with the young monk escalated, and when he was about to roll up his sleeves and start his hand, one hand grabbed the young monk who was about to rush into the room to fight Naruto.
As soon as the young monk turned his head, he saw the owner of the face, which made the young and vigorous spiritual young man immediately quiet down, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Sora, as soon as Lord Dilu said that you would entertain the new guests, I felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, you quarreled with others again."
The voice was serene and quiet, and it was only when the owner of the voice dragged the young monk named "Sora" aside that he revealed his kind and kind face.
This is a slightly short monk, only less than half a head taller than the young man, in this tall ninja temple is even more chickens and cranes, wearing a pair of eyes on his face, and a gentle aura is revealed in this person.
However, as soon as this person appeared, he attracted the attention of Jiraiya.
This person...
The kind-faced, short monk introduced himself to Jiraiya and Naruto.
"My name is Huxin, this is Kong, just now Kong impulsively bumped into the guest, I apologize to you for him."
The polite apology of the monk named Guardian made Naruto a little embarrassed for a while, and Naruto touched the back of his head and said, "Actually, just now, I was also a little impulsive..."
At this moment, the loud bell ringing in the temple rang and spread to every corner of the temple.
"It's time for the temple to open dinner in the evening, so I'll take the two guests to the dining hall."
...
The huge dining hall was filled with monks one after another.
Relatively modest long tables are neatly arranged in the dining hall, and the monks here are seated according to their age and seniority in the temple, and if guests come to the dining hall to eat, they must also observe this rule.
So Naruto was placed at a long table in the middle of the dining hall in the middle of nowhere, and sat at the same table as Sora, who was the same age.
But fortunately, there is another person who separates the two who are incompatible, otherwise these two people would have made a fuss just by fighting elbows.
And this person is the protector of the heart.
As for Jiraiya, he was recognized by Jilu as one of the legendary three ninjas, and naturally he was a guest of honor at the Temple of Fire, and sat next to the abbot Jilu.
During meals, Jiraiya often raised his eyes to look at Sora, who was at the same table as Naruto.
On Sora's body, Jiraiya felt a familiar aura, which made Jiraiya have some interest in Sora.
So Jiraiya opened his mouth and asked the land next to him: "The young man named Kong over there, he shouldn't be a monk here." ”
"Yes, his father used to be my best friend, so after his father died, I put him in foster care in the Temple of Fire."
"Who is his father?"
"His father's name may have been heard by Jiraiya-sama, but Sora's father's name is Wama."
