Chapter 577 I Have a Predestined Relationship With The Buddha

Ever since Karin, Naruto, and Hinata started to go to school, Kanpū's life has become more and more boring. He didn't want to go to the Root to waste his time, and Kabuto is 'eager to repay his kindness, so Kanpū began to study Curse Mark.

Curse Mark, to put it bluntly, is a technique with a binding effect. It is generally set through physical contact, and according to the power of Curse Mark, its restraint is also strong or weak.

Like the Caged Bird, its restraining ability penetrates deep into the soul, and it can be called the most powerful Curse Mark in Shinobi World.

As for the Cursed Seal of Heaven and the Cursed Seal of Earth developed by Orochimaru, that's another story.

Kanpū first searched inside Gekko Clan. Unfortunately, except for Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, there's nothing Curse Mark related content passed down in clan, so Kanpū came to Anbu's Headquarters.

The Anbu's Headquarters is a flat office building. It looks very inconspicuous on the outside, but the underground is a place of charm and beauty, and is somewhat bigger than the Root's Headquarters' underground.

When he came to the Anbu's data room, Kanpū immediately began to search for information about Curse Mark.

There are many materials about Curse Mark in Anbu, but most of them are descriptions, such as Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal Danzo used to restrain Root's Shinobi. There are several books in the data room about this kind of Curse Mark.

Kanpū looked through it roughly, and it was the same as what he knew in his previous life. This kind of Curse Mark is a compulsory seal used to prevent Root's members from leaking information related to Danzo. Once the cursed person wants to say something about Danzo, their whole body becomes paralyzed and they would be unable to speak or move.

Even the Caged Bird is mentioned in some book, and it also emphasized that this kind of Curse Mark can only be removed by death.

Apart from this, there are many books describing other Curse Mark in the data room, which are used for all kinds of things, but they all have one thing in common, that is 'forced restraint'!

This is very much in line with Kanpū's psychological expectations.

It's just that Kanpū spent more than a week searching through the entire data room, but he couldn't find the -seal training method for the Curse Mark that can pierce the brain and stab the heart.

But it's not that he found no clues. Kanpū found a word in several books that record the Curse Mark: Ninja Monk!

Speaking of Ninja Monk, monks are the first thing that comes to Kanpū's mind, and the Fire Temple is the second.

As the largest temple in the Land of Fire, the Fire Temple is well-known is well-known in the Shinobi World. It is a holy place for countless Buddhist believers!

At the same time, a large number of Shinobi were also nurtured in the Fire Temple, and this kind of Shinobi are Ninja Monks!

According to the records, the Ninja Monk is mediocre in combat, but they are very good at Fuinjutsu, Curse Mark and the like!

'Should I go visit the Fire Temple?'

Kanpū has been staying in the data room to check the data, so he wanted to go out for some time, let alone the Curse Mark he wanted is in the Fire Temple!

Now that it is impossible to make progress on the Root's side, it's a waste of time even to get a shadow clone to clock in and work there, so Kanpū simply asks Kakashi for a one-month vacation, and then asked the shadow clone, who usually sign in the Root, to take charge of picking up Karin from the Academy.

After the arrangements were made, Kanpū quietly left Konoha.

After going on a scenic tour all the way, half a month later, Kanpū arrived at the Fire Temple.

The Fire Temple is built on a gentle hillside, covering a very large area. It is surrounded by a three-meter-high wall. Looking around, he can clearly see the lush forest behind the wall, as well as faintly discernible tall buildings.

There are also many houses on the hillside, where tens of thousands of villagers live.

In addition to their daily practice, the Ninja Monks of the Fire Temple will often go down the mountain to help the villagers in the village with some chores, because of this, the Fire Temple has a very high status in the hearts of the villagers.

Apart from this, there are also a large number of Buddhist believers coming from all over the Shinobi World every day, but the Fire Temple is not open every day, so these believers tend to stay in the houses under the hillside, and contribute to the local's GDP.

Kanpū walks, and saw the yellow mud road under his feet has been tamped by the Ninja Monks of the Fire Temple. The ground is extremely hard and comparable to a concrete road.

On the road, Kanpū saw many believers going uphill and downhill, each of them looked pious.

"Hey, young man, the Fire Temple is closed today, don't go up." A believer who went downhill casually reminded Kanpū.

Kanpū nodded implicitly, and then continued walking uphill.

"Hmph." The believer curled his lips, and didn't bother to say anything more.

...

Half an hour later, Kanpū came to the gate of the Fire Temple.

A lot of believers gathered outside the gate. They knew they could not get in, so they prayed devoutly outside the gate, and then left, everything was in order.

Kanpū stood on the side, quietly looking at the gate of the Fire Temple, the two huge iron gates that were closed tightly!

Seeing the iron gate, Kanpū felt that he was destined with the Buddha!

He is the predestined person whom the Buddha has been waiting for decades!

'Amitabha!'

Then, Kanpū's gaze was attracted by the two tall stone statues on both sides of the iron gates.

"That is the sealed iron wall of the Fire Temple. It consists of iron gates and stone statues. Once the iron gates are closed, the barrier will automatically activate. Only those who possess the unique chakra of the Fire Temple's monks can pass through, otherwise, you must destroy the stone statue to enter the Fire Temple."

A few young people walked by and asked, "Konoha's Shinobi, what is your purpose in coming to the Fire Temple?"

Kanpū turned his head to look. None of the young people who came by were wearing a forehead protector, but with his keen intuition, Kanpū was able to determine that they are all Shinobi, and their strength is not low. It is estimated that they all have the strength of Elite Chunin.

"I'm looking for the abbot of the Fire Temple." Kanpū said while looking at the clothes of these youngsters, and finally found a piece of cloth tied around their waist and abdomen, with a dazzling 'fire' word in the middle.

'Twelve Guardian Ninja?'

'Oh!'

Kanpū looked carefully and found an acquaintance!

Sarutobi Asuma!

After Asuma left Konoha, he mingled with Fire Temple's Chiriku, and later formed the Twelve Guardian Ninja. Over the years, Asuma has changed a lot, especially his non-mainstream hairstyle.

As for Asuma, he obviously didn't recognize Kanpū.

"Is there any mission?" Asuma took a few steps forward, frowning slightly while looking at Kanpū.

"It's not a mission, it's a private matter." Seeing that Asuma didn't recognize him, Kanpū didn't bother to reveal his identity.

"What private matter?" Asuma asked.

In his opinion, as soon as Konoha's Shinobi arrived at the Fire Temple, there's no need to guess, and they must have been sent by Hiruzen!

'As for the personal matters, it must be to ask the abbot of the Fire Temple to persuade him to return to Konoha!'

'Hmph, I have already seen through everything!'

Asuma's eyes have a bit of wisdom as if everything is within his grasp: 'After years of experience, I am no longer the me I used to be!'

Kanpū doesn't know his psychological drama, but he knows that Asuma has a good relationship with Chiriku, and Chiriku is the next abbot of the Fire Temple, that is to say, Chiriku and the current abbot of the Fire Temple are very likely to be in a master and disciple relationship, so he can't be too tough, and replied: "I want to ask the abbot of the Fire Temple about Curse Mark."

"Curse Mark?"

Asuma frowned, looking at Kanpū suspiciously, 'Didn't he come here to persuade me to go home?'

At this moment, there was a dull sound from the closed iron gate. When the believers outside the gate saw the gate was opened, they thought that their devotion had touched the Fire Temple, and they rushed into the iron gate with red faces and inexplicable excitement.

But two rows of Ninja Monks came out of the iron gate with no emotion, and stopped these believers.

"Sorry, the Fire Temple is not open to the public today." Said the head Ninja Monk with a big bald head, a handsome face, his hands crossed, and a piece of cloth scarf embroidered with the word 'fire' was also hung on his waist and abdomen.

'He is Chiriku.'

Kanpū quickly recognized this bald monk's identity.

After stopping the believers, Chiriku came to Asuma and the others and invited them to the temple.

Kanpū wanted to follow in, but was stopped.

"Sorry, the Fire Temple is not open to the public today." Chiriku put one hand on his chest and the other hand on Kanpū's chest.

"I am not a believer."

Kanpū was a little unhappy, and said in a muffled voice, "I am Konoha's Shinobi, I have something to look for the abbot."

Chiriku's gaze fell on Kanpū's forehead protector and asked: "Did Yondaime Hokage send you here?"

Kanpū was taken aback by his question, and said: "No, it's a private matter."

"Since it's not an official business, sorry, the Fire Temple is not open to the public today." Chiriku clasped his hands together, bowed slightly to Kanpū, and then took Asuma and the others in.

Go in.

Go.

In.

'I obviously have a predestined relationship with the Buddha, but why have I been rejected?'

Kanpū's face is a bit ugly, but for the sake of the good relationship between the Fire Temple and Konoha, he bears with it!

Kanpū stood outside the gate, waiting expressionlessly.

As Asuma and the others disappeared into the gate, the two large iron gates of the Fire Temple slowly closed.

"Is this really okay Asuma?" Chiriku looked towards the non-mainstream hairstyle next to him.

If he hadn't received Asuma's eye hint, Chiriku would at least inform the abbot even if he did not let Kanpū in.

Asuma shrugged and said: "Don't worry, he's just an ordinary Shinobi. There's no need to worry about refusing him. After all, he could do nothing about it."

'Ask the abbot for the Curse Mark?'

'What the hell is that?'

Asuma has no burden after doing such thing.

Chiriku also knows Asuma's character, so he just shook his head and stopped talking.

"By the way, have Kazuma and the others arrived?" The other who came in with Asuma asked.

"Only Kazuma has arrives, the others wanted to protect the Daimyo, so they didn't come."

Chiriku replied, "By the way, Kazuma brought his son with him. Let's go, I will take you to meet them."

The group then walked to the backyard of the Fire Temple with joy and laughter, while Kanpū was still waiting outside.
