"Don't panic! Konoha's reinforcements are not many!" Chiyo's voice reached the ears of every Sand ninja.
She continued, "This battle! Is to avenge our Third Kazekage! Until death do us part!"
"Until death do us part!!"
"Until death do us part!!"
The morale of the Sand ninjas was stirred up by Chiyo.
This is one of the ways a highly respected and powerful ninja manifests their influence on the battlefield.
But at this moment, Tsunade and Danzo also appeared at the forefront of the Konoha ninjas.
Next, it was time to test the strength of both sides.
But these things had nothing to do with Qifeng and Shizune, who were collecting corpses in the rear at this moment.
The two sides were about to start fighting with their strongest forces, now was an excellent time to collect corpses, and no one would pay attention to them, their presence was extremely low.
To this end, in order to collect the corpses more quickly, Qifeng didn't know where he got a huge bamboo basket.
It was a very huge one, several dozen times the size of Shizune.
Carrying it on her shoulders looked particularly awkward.
The two had a clear division of labor. Qifeng was responsible for throwing the corpses into the bamboo basket, while Shizune was responsible for carrying it.
When it was full, the two would work together to seal it, then take out a new bamboo basket and continue collecting corpses.
It must be said that Konoha's losses were truly heavy.
In a sea of yellow, green, and white light spots, the two seemed to have transformed into a mushroom-picking boy and girl.
They didn't even have time to be sad, just numbly doing repetitive work.
'So this is the great responsibility that Class Monitor Qifeng said corpse collectors need to bear, this responsibility is really heavy...'
She paused her hunched back and tugged at her shoulder strap.
"Class Monitor Qifeng, it seems to be full again."
"Then seal it quickly. There are too many corpses. We must seize the time at this moment," Qifeng wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Yeah!"
Chapter 71 Small Secret (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, Monthly Ticket)
The Sand ninjas finally retreated.
Because, under Hanzo's order, the Rain ninjas took the lead in withdrawing from the battlefield, leaving only the Sand ninjas and Konoha ninjas to confront each other.
The arrival of enemy reinforcements and the withdrawal of allied forces were a major blow to the morale of the Sand ninjas.
Even if Chiyo was unwilling, she could only retreat.
It was no longer the best time to fight Konoha to the end.
But in terms of battle results, it was enough.
The Konoha side suffered heavy losses, and the Sand ninjas had already set an example for the Rock ninjas and Cloud ninjas.
Next, it will be the most difficult time for Konoha.
Main camp.
A group of Konoha ninja squad leaders with disheveled figures, as well as Tsunade and Danzo, and Qifeng, the leader of the corpse collection squad, and his little follower, Shizune, who had a special status, were all in the camp.
It's just that the big shots' faces were not very good, and Qifeng completely transformed into an invisible man.
Along with Shizune, the little girl who was gradually being led astray by him, also obediently maintained her silence in this situation.
Tsunade had a dark face throughout.
She also knew that no matter what the reason, this time Konoha's losses, as the commander-in-chief, she must bear some responsibility.
Even if no one would blame her.
Oh, no, there is still someone.
Thump!
Danzo's wooden cane slammed hard on the ground, and the muffled sound broke the eerie silence in the camp.
"This time, the alliance between the Sand ninjas and the Rain ninjas was something we didn't expect, but I didn't do badly, successfully guarding the border of the Land of Fire, but paid a heavy price for it."
Having been with Hiruzen Sarutobi for so long, Danzo had learned some of his nice words.
"This is my responsibility, not having made enough preparations, and not investigating the alliance between the Sand ninjas and the Rain ninjas clearly."
Tsunade took the initiative to take responsibility, this was the responsibility she had learned to bear since she was a child.
"No, Lady Tsunade, you can't be blamed for this!"
"That's right, Lady Tsunade has exhausted all of her chakra to save people, we have all witnessed your efforts."
"We couldn't have predicted the surprise attack, but if it weren't for Lady Tsunade, I'm afraid our losses would have been even heavier."
In the camp, people kept expressing their opinions.
This matter really can't be blamed on Tsunade, after all, no one would have thought that the Rain ninjas would suddenly join forces with the Sand ninjas.
Seeing that Tsunade's prestige was so high, Danzo couldn't help but frown.
Until he stepped forward.
He said in a deep voice: "Tsunade indeed doesn't have to be responsible for this, but in this battle, your consumption was not small, take a good rest first, I will temporarily take over the command."
Saying that, he took out Hiruzen Sarutobi's appointment scroll.
Tsunade glanced at Danzo, without saying a word, took the scroll, and strode towards the outside of the camp.
When she reached the entrance of the camp, she caught a glimpse of Qifeng and Shizune, who were shrinking in the corner to reduce their presence, waved her hand, and motioned for the two to follow.
Shizune didn't speak, and obediently followed.
Qifeng smiled awkwardly, expressed his apologies to the big shots in the camp, and then followed out.
No one would care about a corpse collector.
