Chapter 186 Asuma

Along the way, Asuma and the others rushed as fast as they could and headed straight for the Fire Temple. The rest of the teams also quickly started to move, looking for traces of the murderer. Several teams sent back reports, none of which found traces of Akatsuki. Tsunade in the office angrily said, "Why haven't we found them yet!" Everyone in the office was shocked to hear Tsunade's anger. Tsunade asked again, "Where is Asuma's team heading to the Fire Temple?" Shizune said weakly, "Still no report."

In fact, the team led by Asuma had already arrived at the Fire Temple. What came into view was a pile of ruins, which clearly showed that there had been a fierce fight. No one could have imagined that this temple, one of the best in the Fire Country, would suddenly become like this. Just as Asuma led the team up the high steps of the Fire Temple to investigate, an old monk and a young monk came towards them.

They stood on the top of the steps, and the young monk said, "You are from Konoha, right?" Asuma said, "Yes." The young monk said, "We have received news from the monk who was given shelter by your place." The old monk welcomed Asuma and the others to the temple and said, "I am the abbot of the Fire Temple. When I was out on an urgent matter, I learned that this place was in danger. When I hurried back, it had become such a miserable state."

Led by the old monk, Asuma's team entered the inner courtyard of the Fire Temple. The originally tall temple had completely collapsed, and many monks had become corpses. The abbot borrowed the help of people from nearby temples to wrap up the corpses. Shikamaru couldn't help but say, "How tragic." Asuma was obviously most concerned about Dilu, and he asked the old monk, "Where is Dilu?"

The young monk bowed his head and said, "To be honest, only the body of Master Dilu has not been found anywhere." Hearing this news, Asuma frowned. Chuyun behind Asuma said, "Captain Asuma, I don't want to mention this matter. Mr. Dilu is in the underground world and a reward of 30 million taels is offered." Shikamaru heard the bounty and said to Asuma, "If those people from Akatsuki knew about the bounty, would they exchange the gold? In other words, the people from Akatsuki are moving with the body." Asuma nodded and agreed with Shikamaru's inference. "

Zitie asked, "Izumo, where is the exchange office?" Izumo said, "There are five places, including the nearest one." Izumo immediately used carrier pigeons to inform the other teams, "In this way, the nearby squads can quickly rush to the other four places." Asuma said hurriedly, "Okay, let's go too." The old monk suddenly said, "Please stay, Yuan Fei Asuma. No matter what, please let me pray for everyone who is about to join the battle." Hearing the words "no matter what", Asuma stopped and said, "I understand."

The abbot put his hands together, closed his eyes, chanted scriptures, and prayed devoutly. Asuma also put his hands together and closed his eyes, but he thought of Dilu again. After a while, the abbot's prayer ended, and Asuma said: "At least, we must take back Dilu's body." The abbot said: "No, don't force it. You are a member of the original Twelve Guardian Ninjas like Dilu, and you are also a target of a bounty. Please be careful." Asuma said optimistically: "It's okay, please don't worry, my bounty is 5 million taels higher than Dilu's." Seeing Asuma's expression. Shikamaru thought to himself: "The one who should worry about Asuma is probably because he smokes too much."

At this time, Hidan and Kakuzu of Akatsuki were indeed carrying the body of Jiluku on Kakuzu's back as Shikamaru said. Although Jiluku was very strong and his moves were very special. Objectively speaking, Asuma might not be as strong as him. The Fire Temple had an iron wall of sealing, so Hidan and Kakuzu could only fight their way in head-on. From the beginning, Jiluku had an absolute advantage, and the two could not get close to him at all. Jiluku stood in a special posture, with a force surrounding him, and punches and kicks formed by energy gave Hidan and Kakuzu a beating.

However, Jilu's moves also have certain weaknesses. For these two guys who are not easy to kill, Jilu's moves lack decisive lethality. Let alone Kakuzu, even if there is only one Hidan, it is estimated that Jilu can be worn out to death. Not to mention, Hidan also has a very special ninjutsu, death by blood. Without knowing the opponent's intelligence, Jilu can be said to be doomed to fail. Kakuzu also got Jilu's body and exchanged it for money.

As they walked, Hidan complained, "I've had enough of your poor tongue. When we travel together, our companion is such a boring fellow. This rare trip is ruined." Kakuzu said, "We're not here to have fun." Hidan continued to complain, "It's really annoying to go looking for some Jinchūriki who don't even know where they are. Please be patient and listen to the complaints of someone who is doing additional work for you. Have some sympathy for me."

Kakuzu said impatiently, "Shut up, it's getting too late." Hidan said, "Too late? Aren't we heading towards the gold exchange? Really, it's so boring, it seems the journey is even longer, it's so troublesome." Kakuzu said seriously, "Trouble, this is also one of the tasks." Hidan responded quickly, "Yes, yes. The organization has also given you the task of raising funds, right? This money from unknown sources will only be used as a bonus for collecting the tailed beasts." Hearing this, Kakuzu seemed a little unhappy and walked forward without saying a word.

Hiduan snorted and chased after him, saying, "I'm sorry, that body must be heavy. Let me carry it for you." Kakuzu was not grateful and said, "What are you going to do with the important bounty?" Hiduan said, "What did you say?" Kakuzu said, "From your behavior, I can see that you plan to leave this body in the wilderness." Hiduan laughed and said, "You're exposed. Never mind about that. Let's go find the Jinchuriki." Kakuzu turned around and punched Hiduan hard, but Hiduan reacted quickly and immediately blocked the attack with the strange weapon behind him.

Hidan said, "Finally you're angry." It sounded more like he was deliberately trying to irritate Kakuzu. Kakuzu said, "You bastard." He ignored Hidan and continued to walk forward with the body on his back. Hidan seemed a little dissatisfied and said, "It's over now." Kakuzu said, "I don't have time to waste with you now. One day, after completing all the tasks, I will personally send you to another world." Hidan put away his weapon and said dissatisfiedly, "It's like this again. Next time, I hope my opponent won't be as weak as these guys." He continued to move forward behind Kakuzu.
