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

Ōnoki is the Third Tsuchikage. Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, the Kage should face the Kage!

Lightly licking his lips, "Whether it's arrogance or not, you'll soon find out."

The clash between Konoha and Iwagakure was extremely fierce from the moment they made contact.

Every Konoha ninja unleashed their full strength, regarding death as homecoming, even if it meant dragging several Iwa ninjas down with them.

But among the many Konoha ninjas, there was still an exception.

For example... Kaze, who was hiding behind a rock wiping away cold sweat, took a breath and silently collected the corpses around him.

Regardless of whether they were from Konoha or Iwagakure.

He kept repeating in his heart, "I'm just a corpse collector, I'm only responsible for collecting corpses."

Chapter 46: Corpses Must Not Be Desecrated (Seeking Collection, Recommendations, and Monthly Tickets)

In such a tragic battle, there was no need for Kaze, a mere Chunin, especially one with zero battlefield experience, to seek death.

Didn't you see that Orochimaru wasn't having a good time either?

On the battlefield, corpse collectors are responsible for this. While their comrades are fighting and dying in the front, they silently collect the bodies in the back.

No one would criticize them for it, nor would anyone rebuke the corpse collectors for not caring about the intensity of the battle.

There's no other way; everyone has their own duty.

No one wants to fight and die on the front lines, only to have their bodies abandoned in the wilderness after sacrificing themselves for their country, or even taken away by enemy hidden villages to extract important information from their corpses.

Therefore, Konoha not only doesn't object to corpse collectors, but actively supports them.

But to be honest, Kaze's heart was also very heavy when he collected the corpses of Konoha ninjas one by one.

For a moment, he even had the urge to rush up and fight the Iwa ninjas to the death.

Fortunately, this impulse was quickly and rationally suppressed by him.

Just kidding, what could a Chunin like him accomplish in such a battle?

If he were a Kage-level powerhouse, or even just an elite Jonin, rushing up would be fine, and he might even be able to produce unexpected results.

But a Chunin...

Would just be another person sent to their death.

Even if he completely unleashed all his trump cards, using the Shikotsumyaku along with the Sharingan, he might be able to save a few people.

But once this incident was over, the Uchiha clan and the higher-ups of Konoha would definitely cause trouble for him.

Most importantly, there's Orochimaru.

He might even be dissected.

Facing Orochimaru with his current strength is really terrifying.

Forget it.

Kaze muttered to himself, deeply hypnotizing himself.

I'm a salted fish, I'm a salted fish, I'm a salted fish...

Honestly being a corpse collector isn't bad.

Leave the frontline battles to those heroes of Konoha.

"Someone has to bear the dark side. I will transform into darkness and embrace all the corpses," Kaze even found a good excuse for himself.

Peacefully collecting corpses.

Yellow corpse, green corpse, green corpse, green corpse, yellow corpse...

Various colors, different shades of light, made him dizzy.

If you exclude factors such as identity, situation, and feelings, it's like picking up equipment everywhere.

It's like being carried through a dungeon by a big shot, with the big shot bravely fighting monsters in the front, while he, the small account, frantically reaps the spoils.

It's refreshing.

But such a process is destined not to be smooth.

If the Konoha side has a corpse collector like him, the Iwa side will naturally have someone doing the same job.

As the saying goes, when corpse collectors meet, their eyes turn red.

He encountered someone stealing his business!

Kaze looked at an Iwa ninja not far away, crouching and quickly traversing the battlefield. His gaze locked onto a Konoha Jonin's corpse between them, and the other party also stopped and aimed at the corpse.

This corpse was a yellow corpse, but the yellow light on it was exceptionally bright.

Without a doubt, this was an elite Jonin from Konoha, but unfortunately, he had fallen here.

This was also the first elite Jonin to fall in this battle between Konoha and Iwagakure, but his death was valuable because he had killed three Iwagakure Jonin before he died, ultimately running out of strength and being ambushed.

Jonin are already considered mid-to-high level in a village, and elite Jonin are quasi-high level, so they must have a lot of information about the village in their minds.

The Iwa corpse collector seemed to realize the value and importance of this corpse and confronted Kaze from a distance.

Not only this Konoha elite Jonin's corpse, but there were also three Iwagakure Jonin corpses nearby.

These were the most important corpses in the battle so far!

Kaze was determined to get them, and so was the other party.

Clang!

Kaze slowly drew his long sword, lightly stroking the blade with his finger. The blade reflected the light, revealing a hint of coldness.

He didn't want to take action.

But if the other party wanted to snatch the corpses, then that would be a different story, as it touched his bottom line.

He took one step, then another. The silver blade distorted like flowing water, and a bright white halo surrounded him, enveloping him. With each step, the light became more abrupt, and the light became more distorted.

The other party saw Kaze's change and became somewhat solemn, even a little apprehensive.

But after looking at the elite Jonin's corpse, he gritted his teeth and darted out.
