Chapter 3 Apprenticeship to Lu

The Temple of Fire is located on a hill five kilometers away from the capital of the Kingdom of Fire. Because of its long history and grand temples, the incense is quite prosperous.

"His Royal Highness, we will go on foot next!"

Reminded by the housekeeper Ji Nai, Li Chuan jumped out of the carriage, and a long staircase leading to the top of the mountain appeared in front of his eyes.

Unlike the deserted temples when I was watching anime when I was a child, the stairs are full of ordinary people from the Land of Fire, which is very lively.

At that time, it might be because of the tomb robbery incident that Lu Lu temporarily closed the Temple of Fire.

"Walk!"

Not talking nonsense, Li Chuan waved his hand and led Ji Nai, servants and guards up the stairs to the top of the mountain.

Because now his body has returned to the peak level of the previous life, and after entering this world, his body was instantly endowed with the physique of a human in this world, the number of cells has increased significantly, and he obviously feels that his body has become stronger Not a lot.

So when he climbed to the gate of the Temple of Fire on the top of the mountain, he didn't feel tired at all, unlike ordinary people like Jinai who were already out of breath.

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness's body to be so good!"

In the eyes of Ji Nai and other servants, their prince belonged to the kind who stayed at home for many years, seldom went out, and seldom exercised, but he did not expect that his physical fitness was so much better than them.

"Is this the sealed iron wall?"

The gate of the Temple of Fire is more than five meters high. It is made of pig iron and painted with gold paint on the outside. On both sides of the gate are two huge stone statues.

According to his vague memory, Li Chuan remembered that the gate and the stone statue were not only decorations, but also a powerful defensive barrier created by the Temple of Fire with enchantment ninjutsu and sealing techniques, covering the entire Temple of Fire.

Once it is opened, it requires the unique Chakra of the immortals of the monks of the Temple of Fire to pass through, which is said to be a defense that can never be broken.

However, it seems that in addition to being broken once by "Kora" who possesses Nine-Tails Chakra, he was also forcibly broken once by the undead duo organized by "Akatsuki".

"His Royal Highness, are you going to receive the host of Tongchuan Huo Temple?"

Seeing Li Chuan standing still at the gate of the temple, Ji Nai asked softly.

In Jinai's view, although the Temple of Fire is famous, it is just a temple. When His Royal Highness the prince comes, the abbot of the Temple of Fire should come out to receive and accompany him in person.

Li Chuan shook his head when he heard the words:

"No, let's go shopping first."

He came to learn ninjutsu from a teacher, not to pretend to be 13. Naturally, he had to put on a good attitude. Otherwise, even if he really worshiped at the Temple of Fire, he would have nothing to do if Di Lu didn't want to pass on his true skills.

Although the royal family of Fire Nation has a high status, they do not have absolute control over Ninja Village and Ninja Temple.

Not to mention that he is a prince without power, even if the daimyo comes, he can't force Huozhiji to hand over the ninjutsu that has been passed down in the temple for so many years.

After wandering around the temple with his entourage and burning a few sticks of incense, Li Chuan found that the Temple of Fire mainly enshrines two Buddhas, one is Guanyin and the other is Fudo Myoko.

"This is very apt to the Temple of Fire's famous ninjutsu: Thousand Hands Killing and Angry King Kong."

After visiting the Temple of Fire, he didn't waste any more time, and went directly to the monk in charge who seemed to have a high status in the front hall, and said politely:

"I'm in Xiayuanchuan. If there is anything I need to see the host, Lu, please pass it on."

"His Royal Highness?"

The monks in charge of the front office are all good people. When they heard that Li Chuan's surname was Yuan, which was the surname of the royal family of the Kingdom of Fire, he immediately thought of the rumored prince who didn't go out often.

"Exactly."

Li Chuan nodded.

The monk in charge immediately smiled and performed a Buddhist salute respectfully:

"Young monk, let someone inform the host, His Royal Highness, please go to the guest room in the backyard to rest with the little monk."

Unlike the noise in the front hall, tourists are not allowed in the backyard of the Temple of Fire, so no one can be seen except the monks practicing physical skills in the open space.

"Hey, is that boy also a monk in the temple? Why hasn't he been shaved?"

Following the monk in charge on the way to the living room in the backyard, Li Chuan saw a young man with long hair, his heart moved, and he asked the monk in charge.

The monk in charge followed Li Chuan's eyes, with a hint of disgust on his face:

"Your Highness, that is Kong, the child brought into the Temple of Fire by Di Lu is a lay disciple, so there is no need to shave."

"How old is he this year?"

Li Chuan asked casually.

The steward thought about it:

"It should be eleven years old."

Li Chuan nodded when he heard the words, and didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, he guessed who the boy was at the first glance, and asked the steward mainly to know the boy's age, so as to roughly judge the time when he entered this world.

Although he still has an impression of the main plot of Naruto, after all, he watched the anime when he was a child. He is not very clear about what year the specific events happened in the world of Naruto.

However, in his impression, Sora's age is not much different from Naruto's age. Sora is eleven years old now, so Naruto should be almost eleven years old, and Naruto seems to be twelve years old when he graduated from the ninja school.

After doing this calculation, he roughly had some understanding of the timeline he was in, and at the same time he was secretly relieved.

This time is actually quite good, the plot has not yet unfolded, and there will be no embarrassing situation where he meets the undead duo to destroy the temple just after worshiping in the temple of fire.

"Jinai, you guys wait outside!"

After giving Ji Nai an order, he entered the guest room under the guidance of the monk in charge. Li Chuan waited patiently while sipping hot tea from the Temple of Fire.

After waiting for about five minutes, a bald monk who looked to be in his thirties and wore a monk's robe knocked on the door and entered the guest room.

"The Temple of Fire presides over Dilu, and I have met His Royal Highness the Prince."

"There is no need to be polite to host Lu Lu."

Li Chuan quickly got up and returned a Buddhist ceremony.

"I don't know what orders His Royal Highness has for the little monk?"

After sitting cross-legged on the futon, Di Lu showed a puzzled look on his face.

For the noble prince who suddenly came to the Temple of Fire to look for him in person, Di Lu actually didn't have any clues in his mind.

Although he was one of the "Twelve Guardians of Ninja Guardians" in the Land of Fire when he was young, his mission at that time was to secretly protect the daimyo. He had only met this prince who had always lived reclusively, and he had not even said a word.

"Abbot Dilu, I came here this time mainly because I want to become a monk in the Temple of Fire and become your disciple!"

Li Chuan didn't beat around the bush, and directly stated his purpose for finding Di Lu. As his prince, there is no need for too many verbal temptations.

When Di Lu heard this, his eyes widened, and he showed a look of disbelief.

"His Royal Highness, are you sure you are not joking with the little monk?"

The dignified Prince of the Fire Country, with such a noble status, actually wanted to go to the Temple of Fire to become a monk and worship him as a teacher. This really caught him off guard and was a little hard to understand.
