Chapter 269: Guardian Ninja
Liuze turned around when he heard the sound, but saw a kind old monk walking up.
"Excuse me, who are you?" He asked curiously.
"I am the current abbot of the 'Temple of Fire', and my Dharma name is Xuankong!" The old monk folded his hands and saluted.
"I've seen the 'Xuankong' master!"
Seeing it, Liuze hurriedly returned a salute.
"Excuse me, Master, what happened to the Temple of Fire? Why is it the way it is? Rokuzawa hurriedly asked.
"You really don't know?" The old monk was a little surprised.
When Liu Ze saw it, he immediately took off his hat and said with a serious face: "I'm not from the Fire Country, so I really don't know what's going on here!" ”
"It turned out to be from the Taketori clan, no wonder, no wonder!" Seeing Liuze's face, the old monk immediately recognized his origin, and his heart was relieved.
Then, the old monk walked forward slowly, slowly walked into the ruins, and said with a sad face: "A few months ago, a group of extremely powerful ninjas came to the Temple of Fire. ”
"They want to recruit the previous abbot, Master Dilu."
"Master Dilu refused any solicitation on the grounds of becoming a monk."
"So, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides in the Temple of Fire."
"In the end, Master Dilu was killed in battle, the Temple of Fire was slaughtered, and only the old monk and only a few young monks escaped!"
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"I see, the Temple of Fire was destroyed in the flames of war!" Rokuzawa nodded.
The strength of the earth and land is extraordinary, very close to the shadow-level powerhouse.
In his previous life, he also fought with Jiaodu Feiduan in the Temple of Fire, and finally destroyed the entire Temple of Fire.
However, what surprised him even more was that Di Lu actually died at this time.
Sure enough, when everyone was reborn, many things changed, and it was impossible to continue to develop in the direction of the story in his memory.
"However, even if you can't recruit it, you won't be a direct killer, right?" Rokuzawa asked again.
"Under normal circumstances, this is true, but one of the ninjas who came to the Temple of Fire that time was named 'Wama', one of the original 'Guardian Ninja Twelve Warriors' of the Fire Country, and had an old grudge against Master Jilu!" The old monk shook his head helplessly.
"It turned out to be him!" Rokuzawa suddenly understood everything.
The 'Guardian Ninja Twelve' was originally a ninja unit directly under the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, independent of Konoha and not under the jurisdiction of the Hokage.
And the emergence of this power also led to the intensification of the contradictions between the Hokage and the Daimyo.
Because before that, all ninjas were cultivated by the ninja village and directly accepted the jurisdiction of the Hokage.
If the daimyo wanted to mobilize the ninja troops, he also needed to convey orders through the Hokage, and without the Hokage's orders, the daimyo could not directly mobilize the ninja troops.
However, once the daimyo had Naoli and his own ninja troops, he naturally didn't need the Hokage's existence.
At this time, the presence of the Hokage would be redundant, seriously affecting the reign of the Daimyo.
In particular, the Hokage is also directly subordinate to command all the ninja troops, and if there is any dissent, it will be very dangerous for the Daimyo.
So, the relationship between the daimyo and the Hokage has always been delicate and in a fragile balance.
The advent of the 'Guardian Ninja Twelve' upset this balance.
From the Hokage's point of view, their appearance is superfluous and should not exist.
Thus, the open and secret battle between the Hokage and the Daimyo began.
And the direct result of their struggle was to lead to the split of the 'Guardian Ninja Twelve'.
After all, before this, all ninjas were under the command of the Hokage, and there was no precedent for the daimyo Naoko, so there was a difference of philosophy within the 'Guardian Ninja Twelve'.
Some support the Daimyo, and some support the Hokage.
Eventually, the clash of different ideas led to a civil war, with the 'Guardian Ninja Twelve' almost wiped out, with only three surviving.
One of the survivors was the Jiri Master, and the second survivor, Wama, was a supporter of the Daimyo.
After the final battle, he and his horse went away and wandered the world; The land and earth remained in the land of fire and came into hiding.
Extrapolating from this, Rokuzawa judged that Jilu was likely to be a neutral faction, and no one wanted to support it.
After all, if he was a Hokage supporter, he wouldn't have stayed in the Temple of Fire and remained in seclusion.
However, the neutrals, in the eyes of the other two factions, are unwilling to help themselves, and that is the enemy.
It is not so difficult to understand that the rejected Hema Club will fight with the land land.
Interestingly, the last survivor of the 'Guardian Ninja Twelve' is the third generation of Hokage's son Saruto, Asma.
Originally, when he knew about this in his previous life, Rokuzawa felt very unbelievable about it.
As the son of the Hokage, he grew up in Konoha since he was a child, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, it is impossible for Sarutobi Asma to join the 'Guardian Ninja Twelve'.
This is simply a backstabbing of the Hokage's old father, and it is simply a 'rebellious son's behavior.
But after thinking about it carefully, he understood the key again.
It's likely that Asma Sarufei didn't really join the 'Guardian Ninja Twelve' from the beginning, but he joined it with other purposes.
Like sand mixed into food, he is a nail that the three generations of Hokage drove into the 'Guardian Ninja Twelve', deliberately used to divide the 'Guardian Ninja Twelve'.
Even the division and war within the 'Guardian Ninja Twelve' may not be inseparable from it.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the abnormal behavior of the ape flying Asma.
Especially after this, Sarutobi Asma returned to Konoha and was still reused, which is not at all in line with the treatment of a ninja who once 'betrayed' the Hokage.
Even if he's the Hokage's son!
Even thinking further, it is likely that Master Dilu saw everything after that, and from then on he was disheartened and did not take a step out of the Fire Temple again.
"It's a pity, I originally wanted to see the demeanor of Master Dilu, but it's a pity, it's a pity!" Looking at the ruins in front of him, Rokuzawa couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"However, little benefactor, you have come from afar, I'm afraid it's not just to pay homage to Master Dilu, right?" The old monk turned his head and gave him a meaningful look.
Liu Ze didn't hide it, nodded and replied: "The master guessed well, I came here this time, not only to pay homage to Master Dilu, but also to go to 'Miaomu Mountain' to have a chance!" ”
"Sure enough, it's another young man who came for immortal arts!" The old monk sighed lightly and couldn't help but shake his head.
Rokuzawa smiled, not angry, and then asked, "I have heard that the ninja monk cultivation of the Fire Temple has a special chakra, which is called 'Immortal Talent'. ”
"Excuse me, is there any connection between the power of this 'Immortal Talent' and Immortal Arts?"
The old monk shook his head and said seriously: "The so-called 'Immortal Talent' is actually just another name for the power of Chakra within our ninja monks, and it has nothing to do with immortal arts. ”
"It's like a ninja monk and a ninja, but there are some differences in the title, but there is no obvious difference in essence."
"Of course, our 'Immortal Talent' is infused with the emotional power of 'Compassion', which is still a little different from ordinary chakra."
