Whether he needed it or not was another matter, but he had to have what others had.
Anyway, his strength didn't come from cultivation but from looting corpses.
If he were to cultivate on his own, he probably wouldn't reach the Jonin level even if the ninja world was destroyed.
At the same time, with the use of the two cards, a system prompt popped up in front of Qifeng.
[Comprehensive evaluation improved, Special Jonin!]
Special Jonin!
The system rating finally improved again, and it was the Jonin that Qifeng had been expecting for a long time.
Special Jonin is still a Jonin; don't underestimate the 'Special' part.
He couldn't help but open the system panel, and his attributes improved again quite a bit.
[Character: Maruyama Qifeng]
[Age: 14 years old]
[Attributes: Fire, Earth, Wind]
[Strength: Special Jonin]
[Kekkei Genkai: Shikotsumyaku (Medium), Sharingan (Left Three, Right One), Scorching Release]
[Body: 55]
[Spirit: 47]
[Ninjutsu: 35]
[Genjutsu: 42]
[Control: 33]
[Seal: 37]
[Taijutsu: Flowing Water Sword Technique]
[Ninjutsu: ......]
[Items: ......]
Unknowingly, he finally reached the strength of a Jonin in the system's strength evaluation.
Qifeng automatically ignored the word 'Special'.
Closing the interface.
Slowly closing his eyes, he circulated chakra, and when he opened them again, his eyes turned crimson.
Compared to the three tomoe in the left eye, the single tomoe in the right eye seemed a bit lonely.
"I have to say, three tomoe looks better."
Looking at himself in the mirror, Qifeng narcissistically touched his eyes and smoothed his hair.
Putting away the Sharingan.
But he couldn't be arrogant about his increased strength. There were too many people stronger than him in the ninja world. If he was targeted by some big shot, his life would be difficult.
"It seems like Orochimaru has already targeted me. I have to think of a way to disappear from his list of attention."
Slowly rubbing his chin.
He was really being targeted by a snake.
The days that followed.
Qifeng's life became very ordinary.
During the day, he was busy processing corpses with Shizune, and at night, he repaired and manufactured puppets, while also taking time to loot corpses and steadily improve his strength.
After the first unsuccessful raid, Sunagakure and Amegakure became silent.
Danzo really took over the position of commander-in-chief of Konoha, and Tsunade turned to only be responsible for the medical team's tasks.
Everything became very calm.
But everyone knew that under this calm, what was hidden was a more violent storm that might be coming.
...
Seven days later.
Land of Waterfall.
Qifeng, back on the battlefield of the Land of Waterfall in the body of a puppet disciple, looked at the town in front of him, which was fragmented because of the war.
Wearing a turban, covering half of his face, wearing a black vest, carrying a shovel on his back that was somewhat out of tune with his attire, he stepped into the town.
Coming towards him was a strong smell of gunpowder, mixed with a faint fishy stench.
The biggest impact of war is often on the residents of these small countries.
The reason why the Land of Fire can still maintain a peaceful scene is only because the ninjas of Konoha have intercepted the battlefield outside the Land of Fire.
There is no such thing as a good time; it's just that a group of people are moving forward with heavy burdens.
It's just that the Land of Waterfall doesn't have ninjas who can bear this responsibility.
Or, it's not that they don't want to, but that they can't.
Small countries living in the cracks of big countries are often so sad.
Dilapidated houses, unextinguished flames, muddy ground mixed with blood, and corpses nowhere to be placed.
The cruelty of war is vividly displayed.
"In this world, if you don't have enough power to protect yourself, the ending will be so miserable."
Qifeng didn't pity them.
He was also experiencing war, and gradually adapting to it, until he ignored it.
Weakness in this world is a sin.
