Started as a Hokage

What is the status of the Fire Temple in the Land of Fire?

He is probably the strongest among the armed forces besides Konoha.

In terms of influence, the Fire Temple is more favored by the top brass of the Fire Nation than Konoha.

This has to do with their monastic pattern.

Of course, what is more important is that the Fire Temple can contain Konoha to a certain extent.

The Fire Nation uses these two forces to check each other and try not to let one side get bigger.

Unfortunately, the Fire Temple is obviously no match for Konoha, and the top management of the Fire Nation who have worked hard in this regard are destined to fail.

Although the Fire Temple is very different from Konoha, compared to other ninja villages in the Fire Country, it is still a giant, and its influence is far-reaching.

But it is simply unbelievable that such a behemoth was wiped out in just one night.

In the anime, the Fire Temple was easily destroyed by the immortal duo, but this does not mean that they are not strong.

Chiriku's level in the anime is about the same as Asuma's, both have reached the level of elite jounin, and there are at least one or two elite jonins at the same level as Chiriku in the Fire Temple, not to mention many more. There are very few jounin-level monks.

Such a force may be nothing compared to Konoha, but it is much stronger than the average ninja village.

Generally, there are only two or three jonin in a ninja village at most, and there are even many ninja villages that don't even have a jonin, let alone the existence of elite jonin in the Fire Temple.

Despite the fact that jounin seems to be a bit defeated in the Naruto anime, many Naruto fans even say that the jounin of Konoha is the weakest and the genin is the strongest.

But in fact, a jounin can basically kill hundreds of people on the battlefield. There were many cases in World War II and three wars where just one jounin was able to turn the tide of the battle.

When each village counts high-end combat power, the number of jounin is the most intuitive manifestation of power.

The number of Jonin in the Fire Temple is not comparable to that of the Five Great Ninja Villages, but it is not inferior to the Amegakure Village.

In other words, if the current Fire Temple was placed outside, it would be the strongest combat power among the five great ninja villages.

But it was like this that the Fire Temple was completely killed overnight.

Not to mention Asuma and the others, even Sarutobi Hiruzen found it incredible.

Fire Temple and Konoha have been fighting for so long. Although they basically lose more and win less, there is no problem in terms of strength. There are strong people everywhere.

Now it was destroyed so easily, which means that the force of the Temple of Fire may not be much weaker than the five major ninja villages.

And such a force went deep into the hinterland of the Fire Country and destroyed the Fire Temple. What does this mean?

It means that there is a group of unknown and powerful armed forces hiding in the Land of Fire, which may attack Konoha and even the Daming Mansion at any time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't stay anymore at this time. He needed to rush to Konoha as soon as possible and then find out this force.

As for Asuma, this young and frivolous boy must accompany his friend Ji Riku to find out the reason for the destruction of the Fire Temple.

Not even his father's big face could change his decision.

This is loyalty!Asma's righteous words calmed his father down.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was originally worried that Asuma was young and inexperienced, but after looking at the six opposing teams that all had special jounin levels, he felt that even if Asma couldn't defeat them, they should be able to run away, so he let it go. Asuma.

Anyway, his son doesn't want to go back at all. Forcing him to return to the village will only make the already stiff relationship between father and son even more rigid.

……

The news of the destruction of the Fire Temple quickly spread throughout the Fire Country, and Konoha naturally received the news.

Especially Danzo, who has been looking for various ways to improve his reputation recently. Now that he got such a big news, he couldn't sit still.

Just like in the anime, when the Fire Temple was destroyed, Konoha definitely needed to investigate. At the very least, they had to find out the reason why the attacker destroyed the Fire Temple.

Danzo, as the leader of Konoha at this time, accepted this task without hesitation.

Not only did he bring his own root organization, but he also went to the Fire Temple with most of the ANBU ninjas to find out.

At this time, the Temple of Fire has turned into ruins, and the original solemn and solemn Buddha temple has now turned into ruins.

Although Danzo and his party were mentally prepared, they were shocked by the scene at the Fire Temple.

It was as if this place had been bombed by Tailed Beast Jade. There was almost no intact building. The smell of gunpowder smoke filled the entire valley. Anyone could imagine from this cruel scene how fierce the battle was. .

The ninjas of the Root Organization quickly collected information from everywhere, and soon gained something.

Speaking of which, the ninjas of the Root Organization are all talented. Not only are they much stronger than the average ANBU, but their other abilities to detect and collect information are also far better than the ANBU ninjas. An elite ninja selected from the ninja clan.

It's no wonder that even a high-minded guy like Obito can't help but admire Danzo's men.

The ninjas of the Root Organization can only rely on some traces of battles in this place to figure out the ninjutsu and level that the ninjas fighting here are good at.

But what puzzled them was that the power revealed by these traces showed that most of the opponents were at the special jounin level, but they were able to skillfully use combined ninjutsu, because they not only found traces of combined ninjutsu in one place .

In terms of power, it doesn't look like a ninjutsu performed by a team, but more like a ninjutsu performed by one person.

This is very strange.

After all, even in Konoha, there are very few almighty ninjas who are fully trained in all five series. Most ninjas can only specialize in one or two series of ninjutsu before reaching the jounin level. Like this, they use the combination of five series of ninjutsu for actual combat. Yes, as far as they knew, there were only two people, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kakashi Hatake.

Or is it a new blood inheritance limit?

Danzo didn't know, but he understood how tricky this type of five-line specialized ninja was. After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the guy who had been fighting with him for many years, was this kind of person.

"There is a discovery." A ninja from the Root Organization shouted loudly, causing most of the ninjas to watch.

The ninja from the Root Organization pointed to a place where a small hole was inserted into a tree trunk and said: "There are traces of being hit by a shuriken here." Then he raised his finger and pointed to a large tree next to him, and jumped up to get it. A crescent-shaped leaf came down and said: "Judging from the traces on this leaf, the shuriken was drawn at an arc angle and then nailed to the trunk."

He walked to a ruins and explained to everyone: "In this area, only this area has the most obvious footprints, and the surrounding areas were destroyed and the ground was full of debris. If it hadn't been destroyed after the battle, this was the only person who took action. This place is most suitable for fighting, and this shuriken is most likely sent from here."

Everyone looked at the location of the ninja and then at the tree trunk, which was obviously not at the same angle, and fell silent.

"Uchiha's shuriken throwing technique!"

Danzo just took one look and realized the origin of the shuriken throwing technique that produced such a strange arc.

This was the famous stunt of his comrade Uchiha Kagami. Kagami used this skill to kill countless enemies on the battlefield.

Danzo was very familiar with this.
