"What's wrong? Is working in the morgue tough?"
Shizune quickly shook her head, a smile spreading across her face. "Not at all. The squad leader is very responsible. I've learned a lot from him."
Thinking about all the knowledge and ideas she had absorbed from Kifū that day, Shizune felt herself gradually approaching the ideal of a qualified ninja.
She was different from others her age.
Others went to the Ninja Academy, learning through the transmission of orthodox knowledge, becoming qualified ninjas step by step.
But she had been taken out of the village early by Tsunade, mastering knowledge and abilities about ninjas under Tsunade's guidance, and also learning many medical ninjutsu skills.
But she was only in contact with Tsunade, and Tsunade was always hanging around casinos, so how much common sense about ninjas could she learn?
Today, she learned a lot and gained a lot.
Although Squad Leader Kifū had extremely high hygiene requirements for the morgue tent, not letting go of even the tiniest speck of dust, causing her to be busy for a long time just cleaning.
But in her opinion, this was Kifū teaching her what she needed to master as a corpse collector.
Seemingly strict on the surface, but actually with deep intentions.
Just like the Tsunade-sama in front of her.
In just one day, Kifū had completely "conquered" this little girl.
"Oh?"
This time it was Tsunade's turn to be a little surprised.
She wanted to nurture and train Shizune, not wanting her to become a greenhouse flower like Nawaki, but also unwilling to let her go to the front lines and take too much risk.
So she sent her to the relatively safe corpse collection squad. It would involve going to the battlefield, but it wasn't as dangerous as the front lines, making it a good place to train people.
She originally thought that she would come back complaining about the boredom of the morgue squad, after all, she was always with a pile of corpses.
Even medical ninjas wouldn't have positive feelings towards corpses.
Liking corpses wasn't dedication, it was perversion.
She didn't expect Shizune to show happiness and joy.
Happy?
Shaking her head, she threw some unrealistic thoughts out of her head.
She opened her mouth and said, "Maruyama Kifū is a very dedicated corpse collector. Orochimaru praises him highly. Learn more from him, and learn how to survive on the battlefield."
"Yes!"
Shizune nodded obediently.
Seeing her like this, Tsunade felt relieved.
She valued Shizune very much, but she didn't want Shizune to always live under her wing, not wanting Shizune to repeat Nawaki's mistakes.
So even if she was unwilling, she brought her to the battlefield, learning to be a true ninja.
"But no matter how much I say, you still need practical experience. Tomorrow, you will follow your squad leader and the special mission squad on a mission."
Shizune's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Was she finally going on a mission as a ninja?
"Watch carefully, learn well, and remember to protect yourself."
"Yes!"
Protecting herself was the only way to safely bring back the bodies of her comrades. Squad Leader Kifū had taught her this, which coincided with Tsunade-sama's instructions.
......
"Kaya, the ninja squad stationed at the Mist Forest checkpoint yesterday sent intelligence, feeling that there seemed to be something unusual near the Mist Forest checkpoint, but they had orders to stay put and couldn't leave, so you take people to take a look."
Inside Tsunade's command tent, six ninjas were standing below.
Kifū and Shizune were also standing among them.
At this moment, Kifū's expression was one of despair.
He thought that Tsunade's arrangement of Shizune would allow him to benefit and not have to go on a mission, but who knew that Tsunade was so fierce, with no intention of protecting him, and sent them out the next day.
Causing him to be implicated.
However, he wasn't very resistant, because there were indeed not many corpses in the morgue tent, and their strength levels were not high.
If there was a relatively safe mission that could bring back corpses, he would be willing to go.
Of course, the premise was that it was relatively safe.
But thinking about it, a mission that could allow Shizune to be dispatched wouldn't be too dangerous.
"Yes!" Kaya 佐治 respectfully replied.
The three people behind him were his subordinates, only glancing at Kifū and Shizune with slight incomprehension.
These two...
Noticing his gaze, Tsunade explained, "Some time ago in Mist Forest, our Konoha and Sunagakure had a small-scale battle. Although there were wins and losses on both sides, there are still a few comrades' bodies that have not been found. Their mission is to bring back those bodies, and you are responsible for protection and vigilance."
Corpse collectors?
Kaya nodded.
He was Tsunade's direct subordinate, and knew that Tsunade had always kept Shizune by her side.
So he knew that this mission was not only an investigation, but also Tsunade's training for Shizune.
Although training a ninja on the battlefield was very dangerous and extremely unreasonable.
Because this would not only put Shizune in danger, but also drag down their entire investigation team.
But he also knew that Tsunade was not the kind of person who would put personal matters above public interests. If an unexpected danger really occurred, they could choose to abandon Shizune.
Very cruel.
And very realistic.
Otherwise, there would be no need to bring her to the battlefield, wouldn't it be better to stay in the village and slowly train her?
