A reasonably developed ninja world

The trip to the Temple of Fire yielded nothing except leaving a message that I had visited here. .A monster called powerlessness seems to be gnawing at Nagata's heart again.

When he faced Tobirama, he adopted a playful approach, which was a helpless escape from life. But after the conversation ended, Nagata became serious again.

Life seems to be fair to everyone. It seems that everyone will die, but the most difficult thing is that the living have to watch people older than themselves pass away one by one without being able to save them.

A life disappears and a new life is born. There seems to be a balance overall, but there always seems to be a little more sadness than joy. Because those who have passed away are always people with whom you have been with for a long time, and those who are new still need a long time to establish a bond.

Konoha's team will stay at the Fire Temple for a few more days, and Nagata, who knows Hashirama's situation, is no longer in the mood to play. Something called a sense of responsibility is oppressing Nagata, and it seems that if he doesn't do something, he will be ashamed of Senju.

But the clueless situation made Nagata's thoughts feel like a bull trapped in an iron cage. His eyes were red, he roared, he was sweating profusely, but he couldn't find a way out.

Tobirama persuaded Nagata not to worry too much about this matter, he would handle it.

But Nagata has reached a dead end, and he is forcing himself to work in this direction. He believed that as long as he worked harder, he would be able to come up with a solution. One by one, ideas emerged in his mind, then were rejected, and then resurfaced again. I only took a few bites of the food that was delivered and ignored it.

After Tobirama found that words could not make Nagata change, he could only ask Nagata to sit in front of the Buddha.

The main hall is the place where monks gather and practice. Nagata could not affect the normal life of Fire Temple, so he went to the hall dedicated to Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. This image, similar to his previous life, can give Nagata a sense of intimacy. And the compassion contained in it seemed to give Nagata hope of rescue.

Due to Tobirama's warning, Nagata could not tell the monks of the Fire Temple the details. He could only explain that he could not find the idea of ​​​​the technique and felt very irritated.

Yosano brought lunch to Nagata. Looking at Nagata's haggard face, he sat next to Nagata and started chanting.

After a long time, Nagata raised his head and asked Xie Ye: "Master Xie Ye, will you get eternal life if you believe in respecting heaven?"

(ex){}&/　“Then tragedy will happen soon?”

"Neither."

"Nagata, you know that there are many monks over 40 years old in the Fire Temple. They no longer believe in the underworld. And the Fire Temple no longer discusses what will happen after death."

"Huh? Is it because you have seen through life and death?"

"No, it's just that there is no point in discussing an unanswerable question. Exploring death allows you to overcome the fear of death and face life calmly. If fear arises from imagining the underworld, and trouble arises from confusion. Then It has failed to live up to the original intention of life. Now, in addition to practicing and governing, the monks of the Fire Temple will also pursue some archery, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, and pottery. As long as the mind is peaceful and tranquil, life and death will be the same. There’s no difference anymore.”

"Thank you." Nagata solemnly saluted Master Yosano.

Yosano did not directly solve Nagata's doubts, but he calmed Nagata's heart. When facing hardships on the road of life, in addition to finding ways to solve them, the first thing you should do is how to face them calmly. Don't be intimidated by the future, and don't let the future disrupt your rhythm.

"Master Yosano, I have another question to ask you. What do you think is King Kong's state of mind?"

Yosano picked up the chazuke rice from Nagata's lunch and poured it down slowly.

"Nagata, do you think this is King Kong's state of mind?"

"There are worms in a cup of water. Now we are not eating this bowl of chazuke, so the Vajra state of mind is compassion?" Nagata was not sure.

"No." Xie Ye shook his head

"A drop of water is also the life of the Buddha. So even a grain of rice, a leaf, or a drop of juice cannot be wasted. So King Kong's state of mind is that all living beings have spirits?" Nagata asked again.

"It's still wrong." Xie Ye shook his head

"Then I really don't know what the Vajra state of mind is."

"If you don't clean up immediately and are seen by other monks, Zuntian will send King Kong to beat you soon." After Xie Ye finished speaking, he ran away.

Nagata had mixed feelings in his heart: "Sure enough, these bald donkeys still hold grudges. They will pay back sooner or later if they go out to wander around."
