That's right. You all read the free translations. But after reading the Viz scan, I have come to find out the true nature of that place with all the masks.
It was not a temple!
The real name of that place is the Uzumaki Noh Mask Hall
What is Noh?
The Uzumaki Noh Mask Hall was a theater of sorts, a place where a certain traditional dance was performed in front of an audience.
That place was a hiding spot for the one mask that was significant to the Uzumaki clan and held an important secret and meaning.
It was carefully shrouded by many other masks so that no one would think twice about it.
Orochimaru knew which one it was because he has seen the Reaper's face personally, that is the only way to tell the difference!
So what did you learn?

What is Noh?
Noh (能 Nō?), or Nogaku (能楽 Nōgaku?)—derived from the Sino-Japanese word for "skill" or "talent"—is a major form of classical Japanese musical drama that has been performed since the 14th century. Many characters are masked, with men playing male and female roles. Traditionally, a Noh "performance day" lasts all day and consists of five Noh plays interspersed with shorter, humorous kyōgen pieces. However, present-day Noh performances often consist of two Noh plays with one Kyōgen play in between.
While the field of Noh performance is extremely codified, and regulated by the iemoto system, with an emphasis on tradition rather than innovation, some performers do compose new plays or revive historical ones that are not a part of the standard repertoire. Works blending Noh with other theatrical traditions have also been produced.
