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

Whenever this happened, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but think of Sakumo Hatake.

If Sakumo Hatake were still here, Konoha would definitely be able to handle things more easily.

Although he was the Hokage, he couldn't go to the battlefield for various reasons. He needed to guard Konoha's rear and coordinate the overall situation.

Once he went to the battlefield, it would mean that Konoha had exhausted all its means, which would be a signal to incite even more fierce attacks from the major villages.

"Everyone, let's work together to protect Konoha and make all the necessary preparations so that our comrades on the battlefield can have no worries."

"Yes!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shikaku Nara, "Shikaku, the layout of the supply line is entrusted to you."

"Yes!"

I only hope... that in this chaotic world, Konoha can produce more, more, and more heroes.

Chapter 44: Blessed? (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, and Monthly Tickets)

In the past few days, Qifeng had been living in constant anxiety. He couldn't sleep well, his appetite was gone, his smoking addiction lessened, and even the excitement he felt every day when touching corpses had faded.

He knew that the war had broken out, and the thing he had been worrying about for a long time had suddenly landed. Instead of feeling relieved, he felt even more apprehensive.

He listlessly stubbed out his cigarette butt.

"The war... hasn't really started yet. I'm just a small corpse collector, so I shouldn't have to go to the battlefield for the time being, right?"

Qifeng looked at the sun high in the sky. The dazzling sunlight shone on his body, but he couldn't feel much warmth.

"Tsk, is the air conditioning in this morgue really that cold?"

Suddenly, Qifeng's body stiffened. He slowly turned his head and saw a figure appearing under the shade of a tree not far away.

Wearing Konoha's standard green flak jacket, with flowing long hair and a slender figure, if you didn't look at her face, this supple waist might be a beauty.

Unfortunately...

Qifeng chuckled and shouted, "Lord Orochimaru."

Why run to my place if you're not going to the battlefield?

Are you bored?

"Qifeng-kun, you are hereby conscripted into the vanguard unit." Orochimaru licked his lips and looked at him with interest.

Qifeng's face fell. "Me? I'm just a Chunin... I'm, I'm not very useful, am I?"

"Konoha doesn't have many corpse collectors." Orochimaru didn't explain anything, but left a sentence and his figure disappeared into smoke, "Half an hour later, Konoha gate."

It was a shadow clone.

Qifeng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He finally knew what his apprehensive feeling was all about.

That's right, Konoha didn't have many corpse collectors to begin with. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the only one willing to guard the morgue.

Apart from him being truly dedicated, most of the others were medical ninjas who also served in that role.

He knew that going to the battlefield was inevitable, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

He almost forgot that Orochimaru had been eyeing him.

He still couldn't understand why Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin and a disciple of the Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, had taken a liking to him.

Moreover, once he set his sights on him, he wouldn't let go.

"It doesn't make sense..."

He complained, but his body was very honest. He packed up his things a little and walked towards the door.

Now is a time of war, and anyone who receives a conscription order must go, otherwise they will be punished for village treason.

Due to the urgency of the war, Qifeng's arrival did not attract much attention.

The vanguard unit was mostly composed of Jonin and experienced Chunin. After stabilizing the situation and confirming the situation, the remaining ninjas of Konoha would gradually rush to the front line.

This first batch was the strongest in overall strength, but also the most dangerous.

Soon.

A mighty ninja force left Konoha.

......

Land of Fire.

Border.

Orochimaru led Konoha's vanguard unit of more than a hundred Jonin and Chunin to the Fire Country border checkpoint, Ushi checkpoint.

At this time, the Ushi checkpoint had become a ruin. The Konoha ninjas originally stationed there had either died or successfully evacuated in the end.

Some places were still burning, and many corpses could be seen among them, some from Konoha and some from Iwa.

Orochimaru waved his hand with a gloomy face, and several Jonin consciously appeared beside him.

"Organize yourselves and set up camp here first."

"Yes!"

"Collect all these corpses and send them to..."

He glanced at Qifeng, who was at the very back of the crowd, pointed at him, "Give him a separate tent and send all the corpses to him."

"Yes!"

Several Jonin responded and glanced at Qifeng, who was inconspicuous, before immediately taking action.

Because it was already on the border of the Land of Fire, and they could encounter battles at any time, the vanguard unit had already traveled for more than a day when they arrived here.

Although they were still in a state of high tension, if they continued to move forward, they might suffer heavy losses if they were ambushed by well-rested Iwa ninjas.

Most of the ninjas in the vanguard unit were experienced ninjas who had experienced the Second Shinobi World War, so the camp was quickly set up.

Inside the command tent in the center, Orochimaru and a group of elite Jonin in charge of the squads were gathered here.

Of course, there was also an unexpected person.
