I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

I Recovered Corpses in Konoha (Author: Atomic Signal)

Summary:

He transmigrated into the Naruto world and became a member of the Konoha Village Medical Department's Corpse Disposal Team.

Uchiha Natsu, who was of mediocre talent, thought he would live a life of leisure and then run away on the night of the massacre of his clan.

Until one day, while disposing of the corpse of an S-rank rogue ninja, he discovered...

Chapter 1 Rare Corpses

On the outskirts of the Land of Fire, in the forest.

A battle had just ended, and the open space was somewhat messy. Several masked ninjas dressed in ANBU uniforms silently turned and left.

On the spot lay a still-warm corpse.

"Natsu, handle this." The captain said in a deep voice as he brushed past Uchiha Natsu.

One by one, the team members passed by, except for Kakashi, who was about the same height as Uchiha Natsu and had silver hair, who paused for a moment.

The eyes beneath the mask gave Uchiha Natsu a scrutinizing look.

Then, he silently turned and left.

Uchiha Natsu sighed, raised his hand to straighten his mask, and then went to the corpse.

This corpse was an S-rank rogue ninja, one of the targets of this mission. We had just gone to great lengths to deal with him.

Of course, the process had nothing to do with Uchiha Natsu.

Looking at the corpse, Uchiha Natsu couldn't help but think of his past.

He is a time traveler from a blue planet in another dimension.

I thought that after transmigrating into the Uchiha clan, I would soar to great heights, possessing unparalleled talent.

Unexpectedly, reality slapped him hard in the face.

I started school at the age of five, and in my first year, I experienced what it meant to be a "good-for-nothing".

No matter what the exam, he could always compete with Obito Uchiha for the bottom spot.

Most of the time, Obito couldn't beat him.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two gradually became a disgrace to the Uchiha clan.

Original ambitions gradually faded with the passage of time, leaving only helplessness in the face of fate.

The final straw that broke the camel's back was when Uchiha Natsu's parents died in battle when he was eight years old.

Even more outrageous, whether it was due to incompatibility of souls or some other reason, the death of both parents failed to enable him to awaken the Sharingan, the bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan.

This also made Uchiha Natsu realize just how useless he really was.

And he, a person without talent, happened to be born in a time of war, during the Third Shinobi World War.

One wrong move and you could die on the battlefield.

All these experiences completely wore down Uchiha Natsu's sharp edges and ruthlessness, making him cautious and timid.

In order to save his life, upon graduation, Uchiha Natsu immediately enrolled in the almost unpopular medical department and was assigned to the even less popular corpse disposal team, intending to survive until the night of the clan's massacre and then escape.

Honestly, I've been using Wildfruit Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and works on both Android and Apple devices.

And so, he endured several years of ridicule from his clansmen.

Uchiha Natsu, however, did not take these taunts seriously.

Looking at these clansmen, it was as if I were seeing the corpses scattered on the ground on the night of their extermination.

After all, the one who survives to the end is the winner.

Just a few days ago, Konoha suffered a devastating attack from the Nine-Tails, leaving the village severely understaffed.

In addition, the Konoha leadership conducted a rigorous investigation of the village, uncovering many ninjas who had committed "illegal and criminal acts."

This led to many ninjas defecting.

This time, because the ANBU squad chasing the rogue ninja were not very good at handling corpses, Uchiha Natsu was temporarily transferred in and forced to act as a cleanup crew.

For this reason, the Third Hokage specially promoted him from Genin to Chunin, since Genin are nominally not allowed to participate in such missions.

Or should my situation be called a Special Chunin?

The entire five-person team consisted of the captain and Kakashi, who were Jonin, and the other two members, who were Special Jonin. Only Uchiha Natsu was a Chunin who didn't live up to his title.

Therefore, the level of danger here is self-evident; one could lose their life at any moment.

However, precisely because he was too weak, the captain would always order him to stay far away during battles and then clean up the mess afterward.

Pulling himself back to reality, Uchiha Natsu crouched down, preparing to use a special medical ninjutsu to completely destroy the corpse.

Sudden.

Uchiha Natsu felt a moment of disorientation.

When I came to my senses, I found that a building that looked like a shop had appeared in my mind.

As the "click-clack" of the keyboard sounded, a bunch of words appeared above the shop.

—The host has detected a rare corpse for the first time, and the corpse retrieval system has been activated.

Please touch the body so that the system can retrieve and identify it.

"A corpse recovery system? Is this a perk that's been ten years overdue?"

A long-lost feeling suddenly stirred within him, and Uchiha Natsu reached out and carefully placed his hand on the corpse's feet.

"Shh!"

The corpse in front of him suddenly turned into dust and vanished, while the shop door in his mind opened wide.

It was clear that the corpse appeared out of thin air in his mind and was sent into the door by a force.

The door then closed, and shortly after, the sound of keyboard typing resumed, and the system displayed:

—Corpse score: 62 points, credit rating bonus: 0 points, total score: 62 points.

—Recycling successful. Obtained trade item: Bloodline Activation. Effect: Activates the host's bloodline power, improving physical condition.

Please choose to take it or discard it at your own discretion.

Uchiha Natsu hesitated for a moment, then tried to think in his mind: Receive.

The next moment, Uchiha Natsu felt a power spreading out from within his body.

At the same time, my eyes felt hot, and my vision seemed to be covered by a red film.

Arriving at the edge of a puddle, looking down, one could see that his pupils had turned blood red, with two black tomoe lying beside each of his pupils.

Two-Tomoe Sharingan!

"The system is real!" Uchiha Natsu was overjoyed.

Now, everything in his field of vision is very different from before. His observation skills have greatly improved, and the amount of chakra in his body has also increased significantly.

I can say with 100% certainty that he has indeed awakened the Sharingan.

It seems that there's always a way out. After living in constant fear for so many years, Uchiha Natsu finally has a chance to survive.

"Hey, I'm leaving now that I've finished. There are still two targets left." A somewhat indifferent young voice rang out, and Kakashi appeared behind him without anyone noticing.

"Oh, okay." Uchiha Natsu calmly deactivated his Sharingan, then turned and walked back to the group, pondering to himself.

This system resides in the mind, very secretly, and the process of disposing of the corpse looks like a special decomposition technique.

Therefore, even if someone sees the body being retrieved, it can be explained as a kind of ninjutsu.

The fact that corpses that were originally to be destroyed could be recycled and traded was undoubtedly a godsend for Uchiha Natsu, who came from the corpse disposal team.

Today we had three rogue ninja targets: two S-rank and one A-rank. We just finished off the first S-rank.

Of the remaining two, one is a Jonin, whose exchangeable items should be no worse than those from Bloodline Awakening; the other is a Special Jonin, so they shouldn't be too far off.

Uchiha Natsu is now somewhat looking forward to it.

Kakashi lagged behind, glanced at the spot where the corpse had been, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes. He then turned around and followed Uchiha Natsu.

With the entire team assembled, and the team leader "Jackal" just putting away the map, the five of them set off again.

The group began navigating through numerous tree trunks, heading towards the border of the Land of Fire.

The captain and two other team members walked in front, and the fourth was Uchiha Natsu. Kakashi brought up the rear, also to protect Natsu, who was part of the support staff.

This put Uchiha Natsu at ease, since enemies always like to pick on the weak first.

Before long, the squad's speed decreased.

Following the predicted route, they had approached the escape route of another A-rank rogue ninja.

Chapter 2 Giant Bear

"Found it, Captain, it's at one o'clock, nine hundred meters away," said the team member codenamed "White Horse."

He is a ninja of the Hyuga clan, possessing the Byakugan bloodline limit, which allows him to observe everything within a one-kilometer radius.

Upon hearing this, the jackal made a gesture, and the entire group immediately changed direction and slowed their pace.

Uchiha Natsu also mobilized all his strength to slow his pace.

Previously, he had a very difficult time doing these things, but after activating his bloodline limit, it became much easier.

Before long, the group arrived at their destination and found a good spot to ambush.

Uchiha Natsu consciously left the ambush site and hid a few dozen meters away.

After thinking for a moment, he got up and retreated more than ten meters. After checking that there was no danger around him, he used [Earth Escape: Mental Decapitation Technique] to burrow underground before he felt at ease.

This "Heart-Breaking Technique" is a ninjutsu that Uchiha Natsu has studied and trained every day for many years, and has been used at least a thousand times, all for the purpose of using it in this situation.

After all, he was facing a Jonin, and who knew how far the fighting would spread? He, a Chunin, couldn't withstand it.
