"After the death of my father and Ma, the young Sora was fostered in the Temple of Fire, and during this period, I took care of Sora as a child, so in the whole temple, Sora listened to the words of Koshin the most, and I was second."

Jiraiya looked at the inconspicuous monk next to him and asked, "That monk named Huxin is actually not a ninja monk, right?" ”

Di Lu was slightly shocked when he heard this, and then said: "It is worthy of being an adult from Jilai, and even the heart protector is not a ninja monk can see at a glance." ”

"Huxin is an orphan who was abandoned by his parents in the Fire Temple, and it was later discovered that he had no talent to be a ninja, and according to the rules, he was expelled from the temple, but the last old abbot was gracious, so he left Huxin as an ordinary monk."

"The monks here are ranked according to their strength and age, so Huxin has always been at the bottom of the table and is excluded by other monks."

"It may also be for this reason that Huxin takes care of the young Sora like a father."

"It's good that there is a protective heart, which can calm the stubborn empty a little, which really helps me a lot..."

Jilu told some of the past events of the temple to Jiraiya, and Jiraiya also used these trivial things as a seasoning for rice, and listened to them with relish.

After all, in order to find his own ninja when he was young, he traveled all over the world and listened to a lot of ninja stories.

In this regard, Zilai is also a good listener.

However, when it comes to the recent epidemic of rats in the temple, Jilu is faintly worried.

"These rats are making people panic in the monastery, and it is difficult for the monks to calm down and cultivate."

"In order to avoid injuries to pilgrims going up the mountain, we have not held a welcome day for a long time."

Jilu's voice revealed concern, although it could be seen that the abbot of the ninja monk with strong ninjutsu had a headache with rat infestation, but Jirai was just a passerby, and these ordinary rats should not be the otherworldly creatures that had been found in Konoha Village, so Jiraiya didn't plan to meddle with things.

"In that case, why don't you entrust Konoha Village?"

"It's just a few mice, so there's no need to trouble Konoha's compatriots, right?"

Jiraiya nodded, thinking about it, how could the former killer Ninja Temple entrust Konoha Village on such a "small problem", and if it is spread out and people laugh at it, the reputation of the Fire Temple will also be damaged.

After the meal, Jiraiya and Naruto, led by Goshin, walked towards the bathhouse of the Fire Temple.

"If you don't want to bathe with the monks, please hurry up, our rule is that the monks will not come to bathe within half an hour of eating."

The bathhouse of the temple with hundreds of people is really different, there is a huge square bath in the huge bathhouse, and there is not a single person bathing on the water.

"That's cool! It's like a charter! ”

Naruto simply rushed his body and jumped into the pool as if he were diving, a huge splash splashing in the medicinal scented pool water.

In contrast, it is much more elegant, and after taking a shower, wrap a bath towel underneath before slowly walking into the water.

On the water, the old and the young leisurely enjoy the joyful bathing time, especially after a few hours in the rain, this comfort is simply the highest enjoyment in the world.

However, during the period, Jiraiya still glanced at the bamboo fence next to him with some dissatisfaction, and the other side of the bamboo fence was not a women's soup that Jilai was also familiar with, but a storage room for cleaning tools.

The Temple of Fire is a men's temple, and it is not cost-effective to build a female bath, so there is no such thing as a female bath.

Damn! It would be better if there was wine and beautiful people!

Unconsciously, the master and apprentice were lying on the edge of the bath and fell asleep, and the faint sound of talking woke up Xiao Lai who had been asleep.

"Have you heard of a recent rumor about rats in the temple?"

In the changing room where he entered the bath, there was the whispering of several people, and although it was not loud, it was clear enough to reach Jiraiya's ears in the empty and quiet bath.

"What rumors? Tell me about it. ”

"It is said that a long, long time ago, the Temple of Fire was a ninja temple that specialized in training killer ninjas, and even went to war with Konoha Village!"

"Is this true or false? Are you talking about the Temple of Fire? ”

"Of course, this is what I accidentally found in some past historical documents when I was cleaning in the Book Pavilion, and there will be no mistake!"

"You two young people, what's all the fuss about, what you said is actually known to the old people in the temple, but you must not mention this kind of thing in front of Lord Dilu, otherwise you will definitely be punished."

"Besides, what does this have to do with the recent rat?"

Questioned by the older monk, the young monk was not discouraged, but continued, "It is said that in the past, the habit of the Fire Temple Killer Ninja was to dispose of the victim's corpse completely, and all those killed by the Fire Temple were like the world had evaporated. ”

"Isn't it suspicious that the corpse has completely disappeared?"

"I think you brought the body back to the temple to receive the bounty? I heard that the current black market still retains such a mechanism. ”

"Then it's not possible for all the corpses to disappear, and you said that the corpses were brought back to the temple, what does the temple do with them?"

“...”

"So, now the monks are rumored that there should be a factory dedicated to disposing of corpses under the foundations of the Fire Temple."

"The recent outbreak of rat infestation is all due to the fact that the renovation and expansion in the past two years have shocked the original foundation of the Fire Temple, causing all the rats there to escape."

At this time, the elder monk questioned, "But I practiced in the temple when the previous abbot was still in power, and I have never seen or heard of anything under the foundations of the Fire Temple, let alone any underground entrances or the like. ”

"If there is a factory for disposing of corpses, as rumored has been rumored, it must have been closed for at least a few decades."

"The rats must have starved to death for decades, and it is impossible for the monastery to come out again."

"So you're still overthinking."

Several monks had already changed their clothes while talking, and when they opened the door of the bathhouse, they found that there were already two people bathing in the bathhouse.

Seeing that Jiraiya was not asleep, several monks immediately realized that they had lost their words just now, and they bowed one after another, and then closed their mouths and dispersed.

The atmosphere in the bath was awkward, and he felt that he had soaked enough, and it was time to go back.

So he pulled Naruto, who was not yet stunned, put on clean clothes, and prepared to go back to his room.

On the way back to the room, Jiraiya was also thinking about what the monks had just said.

The underground entrance to the Temple of Fire...
