Hyuga's Rebellion

Chapter 40 The Temple of Fire

The sun was shining brightly, and at the foot of the Fire Temple Mountain, a man wearing a red dawn robe appeared there.

Accompanied by the melodious sound of jingling wind chimes, the man supported the bamboo hat on his head and slowly stepped up the wooden steps. After a while, he approached the gate of the Temple of Fire.

The closed mountain gate and the two stone statues next to it formed a huge barrier, and it seemed that there was no way to pass without the owner's permission.

"Interesting enchantment, but a bit flashy!"

After opening his white eyes, Neji naturally noticed the trick in front of him, but he didn't think highly of its existence.

"Lan feet!"

The slash kicked at high speed turned into a wind blade and completely shattered the flashy door.

There was a sound of "Boom", and along with the dust, a figure wearing a red dawn robe appeared in the Temple of Fire.

"Not good, the iron wall of the seal has been broken, hurry up and notify Master Lu!"

The monks who rushed over after hearing the sound looked at the broken gate, and several of them rushed behind to inform the lord.

"That red coat, you can't go wrong, he is a member of Akatsuki!"

Looking at the man in the red robe standing on the collapsed gate, one of them was the first to recognize Neji's identity.

"Oh, have you been recognized?"

Seeing the flustered look of the bald monk looking at him, Neji didn't have any surprises.

Since Itachi returned to Konoha and exposed Akatsuki's existence, I am afraid that this news has already been shared with Konoha's alliance. It is not surprising that the Temple of Fire knows Akatsuki's existence.

"Member of Akatsuki, although I don't know why you are here, but if you don't want to die, please come back!"

As the monks backed away, a man who looked respectable in the crowd slowly came out.

"If you can do it, just let me take a look, Ji Lu, one of the twelve guardian ninjas of the original fire country!"

Neji didn't appreciate Dilu's kindness, and his eyes fell through the gap in the bamboo hat on the loincloth on Dilu's body that once represented the identity of the Twelve Guardians of Ninja.

"It looks like I'm going to kill someone today."

Staring closely at the red-robed man in front of him, Di Lu clasped his hands together in a tone of compassion.

"Hmph, it is rumored that you have mastered the secret art known as the talent of the fairy clan, so let me see it!"

Knowing that he was underestimated by the other party, Ning Ci snorted coldly and moved.

"shave!"

Taking advantage of the explosion generated by trampling on the spot dozens of times, the figure flickered, and Ningci appeared above the land in an instant.

"Finger gun!"

With a cold drink, Neci's index finger stretched out to penetrate Lu Lu's body.

So fast!

Di Lu, who miscalculated Ning Ci's strength, looked at the black figure appearing above him, and took a deep breath in his heart.

Hastily no longer kept it, and instantly exerted all his strength.

"Come and welcome, Thousand Hands Kill!"

In an instant, a merciful Guanyin statue appeared behind Di Lu, and as he held his breath, the phantom of thousands of hands slowly appeared behind the Guanyin statue.

However, the moment Neji pointed his gun close to the land, the originally benevolent Guanyin turned into Fudo Mingo who was not angry and arrogant.

The huge shadow of the fist all over the sky covered Ning Ci.

"This is?"

Looking at the astonishing sight in front of him, Ning Ci suddenly became vigilant, and his body puffed up as he took a deep breath.

"Iron block!"

At the same time that his whole body turned into metal and hanged, the shadow of fists all over the sky fell down.

"Bang bang bang!"

As the continuous sound of metal collisions came out, Ning Ci was still unscathed, except that his whole body was carried out tens of meters by the shadow of the fist that filled the sky, and it had no effect anymore.

"It's a powerful fist, but unfortunately, it doesn't work for me!"

After removing the iron block, Ning Ci straightened up and looked at Lu Lu not far away, but his tone was extremely cold.

"how is this possible?"

As one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, Chiriku has experienced countless cruel battles, but this is the first time that such an attack has been neutralized like today. Seeing Neji's nonchalant appearance, Jiri's heart was shaken.

But soon, the man woke up from his depression, held the Buddha seal with both hands, and once again performed the ninjutsu known as the talent of the immortal clan.

The phantom of Fudo Mingo appeared behind Ji Lu, and Ji Lu's appearance became calm and majestic.

"Are you still coming?"

Seeing the phantom of King Ming reappearing, Ning Ci shook his head, but this time he didn't want to be passively beaten.

"Lan feet!"

The wind blades generated by the high-speed kicks quickly collided with the fist shadows all over the sky again. After a stalemate in this situation for a while, Di Lu's face was covered with cold sweat.

Already close to the limit?

With his white eyes open, Ning Ci naturally clearly captured the situation in Ji Lu's body. After a period of delay, the chakra in this man's body was less than half.

It seems that just maintaining this technique has brought him close to the limit.

Shaking his head, Neji already understood the biggest limitation of this technique.

"It looks like you can't move while maintaining this technique!"

A cold light flashed in Ning Ci's eyes as he broke through the biggest weakness of Land and Land Technique one after another.

The kicking speed of the legs accelerated again, and countless wind blades slashed towards the ground one after another.

Not good!
He already understood that the weakness of his technique was noticed by the opponent, but Lu Lu could only bite the bullet and persevere, because the current situation is like this, and he cannot be allowed to shrink back.

At this moment, he can only rely on the will of that member of Akatsuki, who is not as strong as himself!
Although he also understands that this is impossible.

……

"quack!"

In the setting sun, the sky above the Temple of Fire was filled with black crows, and their noisy voices resounded throughout the sky.

Ning Ci was pulling his left hand out of a corpse, and red blood splashed out instantly.

"How about it, Ranmaru, are the bodies of these guys here?"

Looking at Ranmaru sitting on top of Chubeimaru, Neji asked with a frown.

"That's all, Neji-sama."

There was a strange red light in Lanwan's eyes, and after observing the scene for a while, he gave his own answer.

"That's good. If one of them runs away, it will be very troublesome. After all, our current actions cannot be exposed!"

Speaking of this, Neji looked at the intact body of Lu Lu.

As Neji had expected, just a little bit of delay made this one of the original Guardian Ninja Twelve, Ji Lu exhausted his chakra and died. There was no need for Neji to do anything, so the body seemed innocent. Any scars would allow the abbot of the Temple of Fire to die peacefully.

As for the other monks of the Temple of Fire, they have to rely on Chubing Maru.

After leaving Ranmaru and Chubeimaru at the foot of the mountain to block the escape of the group of fish that slipped through the net, Neji only spent a period of time before finally completely destroying this famous Ninja Temple that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

And none of those monks survived. Compared with the rough methods of Hidan and Kakudu in the original book, Neji didn't leave any trouble this time.

"Those guys should be here too!"

Looking up at the sunset in the sky, Neji frowned unavoidably.

Judging from the news delivered by Jue, those guys should be coming soon at this time period.

Thinking of this, Neji stared at the collapsed gate of the Temple of Fire.

A moment later, accompanied by the melodious sound of wind chimes.

Several figures in red floating cloud robes appeared there. Seeing this scene, the corners of Ning Ci's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Is it finally here?"

Under the setting sun, Neji looked at those familiar figures and muttered to himself.
