CH 261

In the Second Shinobi World War, the reputation of Konoha’s Sannin has spread throughout the Shinobi World, and a large part of their reputation was built on the corpses Sunagakure’s Shinobi, so when the news that Orochimaru appeared on the battlefield spread, the atmosphere on Kikyō Pass was obviously suppressed a bit, and even if the Sunagakure’s Shinobi has the upper hand in the battle at the foot of the mountain, it is useless!

The battle started suddenly and ended very quickly. Orochimaru guessed that the Sunagakure’s Shinobi on the opposite side saw him, so that they left not long after.

Because Orochimaru was more restrained, there were almost no casualties on both sides.

Back to Konoha’s main camp, Orochimaru made another decision. He selected 50 Shinobi from the more than 150 Shinobi behind him to form his own escort team, and the remaining more than 100 Shinobi were divided into parts and integrated into the various units of the Shinobi army. The glorified name of this is to enhance the strength of the Shinobi army.

So those who are good at Medical Ninjutsu join the medical logistics team, those who are good at Fire Release Ninjutsu join the Fire Release Special Forces, those who are good at Wind Release join the Wind Release Special Forces, and so on. Kanpū is good at Five-Attributes Ninjutsu, but in the Anbu’s profile, it is said that he is proficient in Fire Release, so he joined the Fire Release special team.

In less than one noon, more than one hundred Shinobi from Anbu, including Kanpū, were arranged by Orochimaru cleanly!

And the fifty Shinobi who stayed beside Orochimaru and acted as his guards were all from the Root!

Although Kanpū didn’t know this, he vaguely feels that Orochimaru’s breaking them up is not as glorified as he says on the surface.

In the afternoon, Kanpū and more than 20 Anbu’s Shinobi, who are good at Fire Release, met with the leader of the Fire Release Special Forces, Yoshibori Jinji.

Jinji is very talkative. He let them rest for half a day and then carried out joint training. At the same time, he also told them some things to pay attention to on the battlefield.

As dinner approached, Kanpū’s tent welcomed an unexpected guest.

“Kanpū, it really is you, I thought I was wrong!”

“What is going on, why are you here?”

The visitor is a Shinobi and also an Elite Chunin from Gekkō Clan, Gekkō Arashiyama. After the war broke out, he and the other clansmen followed Hoshino to fight on the frontline. After Hoshino was seriously injured in the battle against Pakura, he is the one who led Gekkō Clan’s third assassination team!

During this period, Arashiyama never left battlefield!

After more than two years of fighting on the battlefield, Arashiyama’s strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, relying on Konoha-Style Kenjutsu to stabilize at Tokubetsu Jōnin Level.

Because of this, he does not know what happened to Kanpū in the recent years.

“…Uncle.”

Kanpū really couldn’t remember the name of this person, so after vaguely called him uncle, he said, “I came with Orochimaru-sama.”

“Orochimaru-sama?”

Arashiyama was startled. Orochimaru is one of the Sannin and also the disciple of Sandaime Hokage. The Shinobi who can follow him to the battlefield is likely to be an Anbu.

However, Arashiyama clearly remembers that when he left Konoha, Kanpū was only at the second grade of the Academy, ‘How did Kanpū join Anbu in just two or three years?’

‘Is he really an Anbu?’

Arashiyama wanted to ask, but he knew that he couldn’t ask this question.

Anbu’s information needs to keep secrets from the outside world. Even if others notice it, they can’t ask. If they ask, they will suffer. This is an unspoken rule.

However, this does not prevent Arashiyama from wanting to protect Kanpū.

Learning that Kanpū had joined the Fire Release Special Forces, Arashiyama immediately stated that he would go to Orochimaru and asked him to transfer Kanpū to their third assassination team!

“Uncle, is it really possible to transfer me to the assassination team?” Kanpū’s eyes lit up.

Arashiyama raised his chest and said proudly: “Of course, I have made a lot of contributions in the past two years, there’s absolutely no problem!”

Kanpū rolled his eyes and said:” But Uncle, why did you want to transfer me to the assassination team?”

“It’s the third assassination team, not the assassination team.”

Arashiyama corrected, “The third assassination team is composed with only our Gekkō Clan’s Shinobi. By being with us, your safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent!”

Kanpū frowned: “But I feel that the third assassination team is also very dangerous. If the target of the assassination is too strong, it will be very dangerous, and we can easily die.”

Arashiyama smiled when he heard this. After the third assassination team received the assassination mission, it was up to everyone to discuss and decide who they would send to carry out the assassination. So to a certain extent, as long as Kanpū was unwilling, he could chose not to carry out any assassination mission and stayed in the main camp until the end of the war.

“Kanpū, you don’t have to worry about this, I…”

Arashiyama chuckled and said, but he was interrupted by Kanpū before he could finish speaking, “Uncle, I actually want to join the logistics department!”

Arashiyama was startled: “Logistics?”

Kanpū nodded hurriedly: “It is best to recover the remains on the battlefield and protect the remains as the logistics.”

Arashiyama was stunned, but after thinking about it, he felt that joining the logistics is really not too dangerous, and he can learn some… patience?

Arashiyama’s head hurts a little at this moment.

But since Kanpū said so…

“I understand, Kanpū, if you change your mind later, come to me!” Arashiyama said.

“Thank you, Uncle!” Kanpū was overjoyed.

After Arashiyama left, Kanpū turned back to his tent, and the three companions around him looked at him with strange gazes.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Kanpū was confused.

“Are you… really an Anbu like us?”

“Why would you want to join the logistics?”

“Are you afraid of death?”

“What are you talking about? Of course I am an Anbu, do you think I’m…”

Kanpū was about to refute, but a sudden thought appeared in his mind: ‘Root?’

At this moment, Kanpū suddenly felt a little numb in his scalp, and it felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn’t remember it.

Kanpū touched his chin and pondered, and walked out of the tent unconsciously, but after thinking for a long time, he didn’t understand why his scalp felt numb.

At about 8 o’clock in the evening, a transfer order arrived, and Kanpū got his wish and successfully joined the logistics department, specializing in caring for the remains of the dead Shinobi!

There are many people who were responsible for recovering the remains, but among them, there was only one Shinobi, named Kame Tarō, and the rest are people dispatched by the Land of Fire’s Daimyō. They looked majestic, but they are actually just ordinary people.

Because of that, as soon as Kanpū arrives, he immediately become the second-in-command!

Kame Tarō seemed to have heard the news and knew that this young man was the Young Clan Head of Gekkō Clan, so he did not dare to neglect him, and immediately told Kanpū about their work in the corpse collecting department.

Generally speaking, after a large-scale battle, both Sunagakure and Konoha will send ordinary people to the battlefield to recover the remains. The reason why they don’t send Shinobi is to prevent Shinobi from running away after picking up the bodies of relatives and friends, and also to avoid unnecessary battles.

As for small-scale battles, all the corpses will go to whoever wins.

After the body is recovered, it is necessary to record it. Generally, the companions in the village must record their name and Shinobi Registration Number. As for the enemy, they just need to write a number.

Kanpū nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then asked calmly: “Tarō-san, where are the bodies recovered earlier?”

“The remains of our village’s Shinobi have been sent to the village. As for the corpse of Sunagakure’s Shinobi… it has just been taken away by Orochimaru-sama’s guards.” Tarō said.

Something suddenly clicked in Kanpū’s mind!

‘What does Orochimaru want to do with Sunagakure’s Shinobi corpse?’

‘Does that crazy Orochimaru also have a cheat?’

Kanpū’s face changed rapidly, and then he suddenly thought of a possibility: ‘Experimental subjects!’

Living experiments require living people, but some experiments also require dead bodies.

‘But Orochimaru is surrounded by the Anbu guards. Once Orochimaru steals the corpses for experimentation, is he not afraid that they will inform Sandaime?’

‘Eh?’

Kanpū’s scalp is feeling numb again!

‘If they are Anbu, they will naturally tell Sandaime about Orochimaru’s every move, but what if they are not Anbu?’

‘Root!!’

Thinking of this, Kanpū sucked in a breath of cold air. Thinking of Orochimaru’s previous action, Kanpū realized!

‘In addition to Anbu’s Shinobi, there must be Root Shinobi who come to the battlefield with Orochimaru!’

‘Orochimaru lets Anbu’s Shinobi join the Shinobi army, and then leaves Root’s Shinobi as his guards!’

The reason why Kanpū didn’t notice it was because everyone didn’t wear masks.

If everyone is wearing masks, Kanpū can tell who is from Anbu and who is from Root in minutes, but now that everyone takes off their masks, Kanpū can’t tell the difference!

‘Against these people, it’s easy to miss even with my high IQ!’

Kanpū sighed as he thinks of this.
