In Konoha, I collected corpses on the battlefield for ten years

Furthermore, the scroll also stated that if one wanted to preserve the puppet's previous abilities and chakra to the greatest extent, it was best to keep the puppet's body active during creation.

In other words, using a living person would create a more perfect puppet, while using a dead person would result in some loss.

However, Qi Feng had struggled for a long time even with using corpses, let alone living people.

He would never cross that line.

To create a human puppet, one must first completely drain the corpse of blood, so that only chakra needs to flow through its meridians in the future.

He didn't need to do this.

Because in the previous battle, Tuhe had already released almost all of his blood through self-mutilation.

After that, if there were special materials, one could try to strengthen the puppet to a certain extent, such as adding some strengthening agents, similar to metallic substances, into the muscles, while ensuring that the puppet's flexibility was not affected.

For example, what Qi Feng was now preparing to do was to replace the bones!

The normal approach would be to inject some metal into the puppet's bones for reinforcement, preferably a metal that could conduct chakra, so as to ensure the puppet's original strength while strengthening it.

Qi Feng had a great advantage in this regard.

As a ninja with the Corpse Bone Pulse bloodline limit, replacing the bones in the puppet with reinforced bones made by himself could greatly enhance the puppet's abilities, making up for some of the shortcomings of using a corpse to make a puppet.

And the most important point was to preserve the corpse's original strength, that is, the ninja's abilities, including chakra, bloodline limit, ninjutsu, and so on.

Tuhe did not have a bloodline limit, so it was relatively easier to handle.

However, the creation of a human puppet was a long process, even for Sasori of the Red Sand, who was known as the most talented puppeteer in the ninja world, it would take some time, let alone Qi Feng, a newbie.

But he was not in a hurry, believing that the conflict between Iwa and Konoha would not be so intense in the near future.

After emerging from the shock of the tragic end of the advance team's clash, he realized the situation between Konoha and Iwa.

Although the three major hidden villages had officially declared war on Konoha, they were not of one mind.

Whoever really clashed with Konoha first, the other two hidden villages would inevitably benefit.

After all, although taking Konoha and the Land of Fire was the best option, taking another hidden village with the least loss was also a good option.

With Onoki's cunning and scheming comparable to Danzo, he would definitely not be the first to rush in.

So, he still had time.

Chapter 55: Sarutobi's Hint (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, and Monthly Tickets)

Konoha.

Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's office.

A snake slowly crawled onto his desk.

Seeing this snake, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had a solemn expression, relaxed slightly.

The three advance teams had already been sent out, but no intelligence had been obtained so far.

The appearance of this snake at least meant that Orochimaru's team had information, whether good or bad.

Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura, the three elders, were sitting beside him.

Seeing the appearance of this snake, they all focused their attention on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The snake opened its mouth and spat out a scroll mixed with mucus.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't feel disgusted and opened the scroll, concentrating on reading it.

His brows kept changing, frowning, relaxing, frowning.

The content on it made him feel like he was on a roller coaster.

"Hiruzen, what did Orochimaru say?" Danzo couldn't help but ask.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered slightly and handed the scroll to him.

Danzo didn't hesitate to take the scroll and read it, and his expression didn't change much from Sarutobi Hiruzen's.

After reading it.

"In this case, although we suffered heavy losses, Iwa suffered even greater losses. Orochimaru did a good job in carrying out such an exchange under the circumstances of the opponent's sneak attack." Danzo said in a deep voice, leaning on his cane.

Danzo felt that this wave was not a loss!

But Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was not as optimistic as his.

"No matter what the final losses of Iwa are, we can't afford such consumption. Every Konoha ninja is Konoha's precious wealth and the foundation of Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very distressed.

He and Danzo were like the sensibility and rationality of one person. Only by combining the two could Konoha be developed to this point.

The outbreak of the war not only solved the internal factional conflicts of Suna, but also covered up the internal conflicts of Konoha.

"However, the front line of Iwa should be temporarily stabilized. Onoki is not an impulsive person." Danzo saw through it very clearly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and looked at Utatane Koharu, "Koharu, Orochimaru needs enough medical units. Tsunade is not here, so please arrange it."

"Okay, Hiruzen." Utatane Koharu nodded and walked out.

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Mitokado Homura again, "Homura, now that the advance team has stabilized the situation, the subsequent army and supply lines can also be implemented."

"Hmm." Mitokado Homura glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo with a meaningful look, and walked out of the office after Utatane Koharu.

After the two left, Danzo frowned and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, asking in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

He could clearly feel that Sarutobi Hiruzen was dismissing the two.

He saw another snake crawl up from under the table again, spitting out a scroll.

Seeing this scene, Danzo raised an eyebrow.

Sarutobi Hiruzen reread this second scroll from beginning to end with a serious face.
