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

Qi Feng finally understood why those time-traveling companions liked to show off after obtaining various cheats. It turned out that showing off felt like this.

He found himself gradually becoming a bit addicted to this feeling.

However, now was not the time for self-indulgence.

Since Tsuchigawa had been killed by him, it meant that the war between Iwa and Konoha was about to end. He had just shown off in front of Orochimaru and defeated his clone, so he might be coming soon.

He collected Tsuchigawa's corpse and the body of the previous Iwa Jonin.

After hesitating slightly, he遁入了 (dùnrù le -遁入 is a verb meaning to escape into) the distant forest.

When he reappeared, he had already transformed back to his original appearance, looking somewhat disheveled.

Returning to the battlefield, he found that it had become a ruin, with a large number of Iwa and Konoha ninja corpses scattered haphazardly.

Severed limbs, streams of blood, and corpses everywhere were not enough to describe the scene Qi Feng saw at this moment.

The joy of having shown off a moment ago was instantly shocked by this bloody and殘破 (cánpò - devastated) scene.

This was just a battle between advance troops. It was hard to imagine what a doomsday景象 (jǐngxiàng - scene) it would be when the real war began.

No wonder the young Uchiha Itachi was so opposed to war after seeing its cruelty.

This was truly a living hell.

The Iwa ninja were either dead or had run away. The Konoha advance troops had won this battle, but they had also paid an extremely heavy price.

The advance troops suffered over half casualties overall, and many ninja lost arms, legs, eyes, and other body parts in this battle. It would probably be difficult for them to continue being ninja in the future.

However, this might not necessarily be a bad thing for them.

At least, their lives were saved.

Without time for much感叹 (gǎntàn - sighing with emotion), Qi Feng did not immediately intend to collect the corpses, but quickly ran to the nearest injured person, holding both hands flat across the hideous wound on his chest. Gurgling blood flowed continuously. If he didn't receive timely treatment, he probably wouldn't live for more than an hour.

Healing Jutsu!

A light green halo rose from his hands, gently covering the wound.

The bleeding slowly stopped and gradually scabbed over. The other party's breathing and heartbeat gradually stabilized.

Qi Feng breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped away sweat.

The healing jutsu he had obtained earlier had finally come into play.

However, healing jutsu was ultimately a low-level medical ninjutsu, with a considerable gap compared to the Mystical Palm Technique. Treating such large-scale wounds would probably be impossible in a short time.

But it was enough. The wound had already scabbed over, and his life was temporarily stabilized.

Qi Feng turned and hurried towards another injured person.

The main purpose of the advance troops was to stabilize the front and consolidate the battlefield, so there were not many medical ninja who came with them.

And after such a fierce battle, there were not many medical ninja who still had the ability to help.

Qi Feng's sudden appearance gave many people hope of survival.

For a time, Qi Feng's figure shuttled back and forth in the ruins,遏制 (èzhì - holding back) one tragic injury after another.

This blood-stained, thin but firm figure became a rare active figure on this battlefield.

From the perspective of a corpse collector with the highest利益 (lìyì - benefits), Qi Feng shouldn't be doing this, as it would undoubtedly reduce many valuable corpses.

But he was not a robot, not cold-blooded enough to that extent.

Buddha said: Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The reason why people are people is because there is kindness in human nature.

Incidentally, his actions undoubtedly harvested a lot of goodwill.

Chapter 52: Orochimaru's Test (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, Monthly Tickets)

The camp was rebuilt again.

This time, the camp was much smaller than before, and the patrols were stricter. At least one Hyuga clan ninja was using Byakugan to monitor all directions at all times, including underground.

Although they had suffered a sudden attack, the Iwa ninja probably did not have the strength to launch such an attack again.

But the Konoha ninja were afraid. Only in this way could they sit in the camp and recuperate with peace of mind.

The central command tent.

Orochimaru sat in his seat, looking at the scroll in his hand with a grave expression. It contained the newly compiled casualty statistics of Konoha's ambush.

The losses were great.

It could be said that the losses in this battle were greater than the losses of Konoha in several months during peacetime.

But the Iwa ninja suffered even greater casualties.

Because of Orochimaru's existence, with his overwhelming strength as a premise, the Iwa ninja's sneak attack was unsuccessful. Even the Iwa ninja's advance troops were severely damaged and almost unable to maintain their队伍 (duìwǔ - ranks), and even the commander Tsuchigawa had died.

But this battle could not be said that Konoha had won.

Konoha needed to face the siege of the three major hidden villages at the same time. Although Konoha was strong, the combination of the three major hidden villages was undoubtedly stronger.

If the casualty ratio between Konoha and Iwa ninja was one to one, then if they continued to消耗 (xiāohào - wear down) like this, the first to be unable to hold on would still be Konoha.

So, this battle was a case of injuring the enemy by one thousand while harming oneself by eight hundred.

However, from the perspective of the ambushed, this was already the best outcome.

"Orochimaru-sama, you're looking for me."

Qi Feng, who looked very狼狽 (lángbèi - disheveled), walked into the camp.

His face looked a little pale, and his whole person revealed an undisguised疲憊 (píbèi - fatigue). This was a manifestation of过度 (guòdù - excessive) consumption of chakra.

Orochimaru put down the scroll in his hand and glanced at him with his yellow snake pupils full of意味深长 (yìwèishēncháng - profound meaning).

Qi Feng just lowered his head honestly and respectfully, not showing any strangeness.

A strange atmosphere slowly弥漫 (mímàn - permeated) in the camp, making Qi Feng feel a little unnatural, but he did not speak, just stood quietly.

At this moment, he had long abandoned the joy and pride of successfully showing off in front of Orochimaru. He was deeply shocked by the tragic situation after the Konoha battle, and his whole person was immersed in a悲切 (bēiqiè - sorrowful) mood that was being affected and transmitted.

After a moment of silence, Orochimaru's mouth moved, "Qi Feng-kun, are you very curious as to why I would pay so much attention to a Chunin, a corpse collector?"

Hearing this, Qi Feng was stunned.
