Just as Jiraiya said, the task book was delivered to Chen and Sakumo a few days later, which meant that they were about to leave this war zone.
This kind of mobilization is actually quite common. Each high-end combat force can exert different strengths in different environments.
For example, if a Water Release ninja has a Land of Wind full of yellow sand and a Land of Water full of water, his combat capabilities will definitely be completely different.
It may not have much impact on Chen and Sakumo, but judging from the competition during this period, Konoha has no other more suitable candidate besides the two of them.
Along with the mission, there were other orders from Orochimaru, which were to bring the dead ninjas and the prisoners captured by Konoha back to the village.
Standing in the tent, Chen looked at the death list in his hand. After a cursory glance, he found that there were many familiar people.
After a moment of silence, he put away the list and said, "I will count the bodies and check this list later."
"Yes." Orochimaru nodded, then seemed to remember something, and said in a hoarse voice, "Call Minato. Jiraiya told me yesterday that he wanted him to go with you to count."
"Minato?" Chen said softly, and in an instant he understood Jiraiya's intention.
"I understand, let's go first." Chen nodded towards his teacher, and then walked out of the tent with Mikoto.
"Mikoto, go and pack the things we need to pack. We will leave back to Konoha tomorrow." Chen said to the girl who had been following him.
"Yeah." After a gentle response, the two of them separated.
The Ninja's body storage station is located in the northwest corner of Base.
Different from the depressing and dull environment as imagined, there is a bit of hustle and bustle in this neighborhood. The reason is very simple, because it is next to the Konoha Base hospital.
This is also done for convenience. Ninjas who are declared dead in the hospital can be immediately transferred to the death area next to them, and then registered and sealed.
The extremely developed Sealing Scroll technology has made ninja items extremely easy to carry, ranging from ordinary luggage to some ninja tools. The high-end production technology can even store chakra.
Although Chen would rather call this Blue Bottle.
The corpse is no exception. In order to prevent it from rotting, the Base ninja will immediately seal the corpse in Sealing Scroll, then take it back to Konoha and bury it in Memorial Stone.
So the question is, if Shinobi World also has the tradition of cremation, the troubles in the future will be reduced by at least half.
When they arrived at the station where the corpses were stored, Minato had been waiting for a long time. He was wearing a white coat and was squatting in the corner looking at Flying Thunder God's Scroll, looking silly and cute.
"Minato, you are dressed like this..." Chen couldn't help laughing, "Are you changing your career to become Medical Ninja?"
Minato raised his head, with a warm smile on his handsome face, "No, Kana is too busy here, so I'm here to help, carry a stretcher or something."
"Your boyfriend is really competent at what he does..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are just ordinary friends." Minato waved his hand, motioning for him to keep his voice down.
"They are indeed ordinary friends, just an unusual relationship among ordinary friends." Chen shrugged, "Then let's go in."
"Yeah." Minato immediately stopped smiling and stood up.
The person responsible for keeping the body Sealing Scroll is one Jonin from Konoha.
Because he was a bit old, he was no longer suitable for high-intensity battles, so Orochimaru did not send the opponent to the battlefield, but left him in the camp to keep and record the bodies of the fallen ninjas.
"It's Jonin Uchiha Chen and Minato Namikaze, Lord Orochimaru has already said hello in advance."
The kind-hearted Jonin smiled and brought the two of them into the white tent.
"Here is the list of ninjas who have died. Please check it with the list in your hand. If you have any questions, just ask me."
"Yeah." Chen nodded, and then handed half of the list to Minato. Originally, he came here for such a thing.
There are actually quite a lot of people on the list. Except for Jonin, which is relatively small in number, Genin and Chunin have the largest number. This is actually something that is easy to understand.
Chunin and Genin do not have as strong survivability and strength as Jonin. Even on the edge of the battlefield, the death rate remains high.
The two of them compared the famous lists carefully while listening to Jonin beside them chattering in their ears.
Maybe it's because there are so few people here, but the older Jonin has been holding it in for a long time. Seeing Chen and Minato sitting here comparing lists, he learned a lot about the ninjas who died in this war.
"This one in your hand was killed at the beginning of the war. At that time, Sunagakure was the first to destroy Konoha's supply line. This guy took two teams there. As a result, he was ambushed by Sunagakure halfway. He was seriously injured in the end. He had to protect his ninjas, but in the end he was tortured to death by the Suna ninja.
These grandsons are not good at fighting, but they are really ruthless when it comes to poison. If Lady Tsunade is here too..."
"And this." Even without looking at the name on Scroll, this Jonin can accurately tell the story of Scroll Jonin. This is definitely not because the other party's memory is good, but because he has really remembered the things about these heroes in his heart.
Jonin rambled on and on until the sunset, but could not finish telling the stories of the ninjas lying quietly in Scroll.
But it is conceivable that as time goes by, these stories will only be slowly forgotten by people, and then turn into cold names on the solace cups.
"It would be great if Lord Orochimaru could also send me to the battlefield..."
When Chen and Minato left, the other party was still staying in the small tent, but some sad words still reached their ears.
"Let's go have something to eat together and treat it as farewell."
As night approached, Minato suggested this while looking at the brightly lit Base.
"Okay, let's go." Chen nodded, and then channeled a little snake to tell Mikoto that he had other things to do and asked her not to wait for him to have dinner.
"Master Chen, and Master Minato, welcome."
If you want to make a war fortune, you need more than just courage. The owner of the small restaurant is obviously good at recognizing people. Not to mention the famous Chen, even Minato, who has just emerged, can accurately call out names.
"Would you like a drink?"
Minato As a strict and disciplined ninja, it is quite surprising that he can talk about drinking.
Chen and Minato have known each other for so long, and he only saw each other drinking once. That was several years ago, when Chen left Konoha to work for Guardian Ninja.
"Then drink less." Chen nodded and sat down with Minato at the small table in the corner.
