In Konoha, I collected corpses on the battlefield for ten years

It had been a week since returning from the battlefield on the border of the Land of Taki.

In this week, all the Konoha ninjas who died in battle had been buried.

Among them were many corpses that Kifū hadn't even touched.

Fortunately, the corpses of Iwa ninjas were not qualified to be buried in Konoha and were all stored in the ice cellar under the morgue.

These corpses would become important bargaining chips when the war ended, whether Konoha won or lost.

Whether it was to exchange for the corpses of companions or to carry out some benefit transfer, it would be excellent.

......

The sky turned a fish-belly white.

The quiet morgue welcomed a long-lost hustle and bustle.

Kifū stared at the smoke rings, looking at the few brats appearing in front of him with resentment, wishing he could rub them on the ground.

"I said, do you know what time it is? Disturbing people!"

Rubbing his messy hair, he was so excited yesterday that he didn't sleep until late at night.

"Kifū! Kifū! Look! Look here!" Obito pointed to the forehead protector wrapped around his forehead, straightening his back, with unspeakable pride.

Forehead protector?

"You guys, graduated?" Kifū asked with some surprise.

Not only Obito, but also Kai, Asuma, and the rarely seen Kurenai Yūhi, all wore forehead protectors that proved their ninja status.

Immediately, he couldn't help but frown.

According to the age of Obito and others, they should be able to continue studying at the Ninja Academy; with Obito's current strength, to be honest, there was still a little bit of a gap from being a Genin.

If it was peacetime, with his dead last ability, it would be absolutely impossible for him to graduate early now.

But after the wartime system was activated, everything was different.

"The war has just begun, and Konoha's ninjas are already stretched thin? They actually started allowing a large number of Genin to apply for early graduation..." He thought to himself.

"We graduated! Now we are ninjas!" Obito said with his hands on his hips.

"Kifū-senpai!" Kai stepped forward, his eyes under his thick eyebrows full of tears, grabbing Kifū's hand tightly, with a grateful expression, "Thanks to your guidance, I was able to graduate successfully!"

"Hehe......"

Kifū smiled reluctantly.

One less person to clean.

Pressing his temples, the lack of sleep made him feel a little muddled.

He took out a cigarette and took a puff, only then did he recover a little spirit.

Asuma next to him saw the cigarette, his eyes moved slightly, but he restrained his impulse when he caught sight of Kurenai Yūhi next to him.

Fortunately, Kifū didn't intend to share it with him.

"Do you know what you will face now that you have become ninjas?"

"War!" Asuma replied very directly.

But looking at the expressions of the few people, they simply didn't realize what it meant for a newly graduated Genin to go to the battlefield.

Taking a deep breath, just as he was about to say something, he heard Asuma continue: "We will first receive training at Yūhi Shinkū-senpai's training camp, and then go to the battlefield."

In that case, the situation would be much better.

Now it was in the early stages of the war, the war had just broken out, and it was not very intense yet; presumably Konoha had not reached the point where graduates from the Ninja Academy were going to the battlefield.

Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi was doing this in order to allow this group of Genin to better adapt to the war and start cultivating Konoha's next generation.

Yes, since Yūhi Shinkū allowed Kurenai Yūhi to graduate early, it was probably because of this.

Because Obito's class was bound to graduate during the war; instead of waiting for the war to enter a white-hot stage and sending these inexperienced Genin to the battlefield, it was better to let them adapt in advance.

In addition, Yūhi Shinkū passing on experience would also give them a higher survival rate than going to the battlefield without knowing anything.

"Then what about your team assignments?"

"I, Rin, and that idiot Kakashi were assigned together! I really don't know why I was assigned to Kakashi; he has already graduated for so long. But that's okay, I can defeat him fair and square!" Obito said excitedly.

Being in the same team as Nohara Rin was the most important thing for him, it was just that Kakashi was a bit of an eyesore.

"Kurenai and I are in the same team," Asuma said.

Kifū nodded to himself.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was strict with Asuma, he still had some selfishness.

"Kifū-senpai! I, Ebisu, and Genma Shiranui are in the same team!" Kai said solemnly.

After becoming a ninja, he would definitely demand more of himself and not hold his teammates back.

It was no different from the original work.

Kifū walked to the rocking chair and sat down, looking at the rising sun in the distance; the fiery red light reflected the entire cloud, setting off the fiery red morning glow.

Just like the few people in front of him, they were Konoha's morning glow and future.

When the plot really started, they would all become the pillars of Konoha, the mentors of the Konoha 12.

The few people continued to chat for a while, then had to leave because the training camp was about to open.

Their trip was not only to report the good news to Kifū, but also to convey a meaning.

Now that they were ninjas, they would definitely work hard to catch up with Kifū.

He pretended not to understand this implicit meaning.

He couldn't wait for these people to grow up as soon as possible and become the pillars of Konoha, the core backbone.

In this way, life would be more comfortable and stable.

"Hurry up and grow up, Konoha needs you."

Smoking a cigarette, Kifū once again enjoyed the long-lost salted fish life.
