"Do you want to see me for anything?"
Namikawa Yū looked at Nonō in front of him and spoke softly.
"Well, I have something to ask of you."
Facing Namikawa Yū, Nonō had a smile on his face, "I have to leave the village for something. During this time, can I entrust you to take care of Kabuto?"
"Leave?"
Namikawa Yū thoughtfully. "Are you going to perform a mission again?"
"Yeah."
Nonō had a smile on his face and pretended to be relaxed, "After all, there are so many more children in Orphanage, and the funds approved by the village are almost running out."
"As a dean, I always have to think of some ways."
For a ninja, the best way to make money is undoubtedly to go out and perform missions.
From this aspect, what Nonō said seems not surprising.
But Namikawa Yū knew that Nonō's so-called outing mission was not as simple as she said.
If nothing else, all she needs to perform are the tasks assigned to her by Root.
Go out to search for information for Root, and even act as a spy.
"Does it have to be like this?"
Namikawa Yū sighed deeply, "Compared to the shortage in life, what the children want more is actually your peace."
As the dean of Orphanage, Nonō has a heartfelt love for the children in Orphanage.
She loves these children and treats them as her own.
Likewise, these children also love and care for the dean.
If they knew that Nonō would risk their lives to carry out the mission so that Orphanage could have enough funds, they wouldn't be so willing to do so.
From their point of view, they would rather save money and save money. Even if everyone works hard together, it is much better than letting Nonō take risks alone.
"I know."
Nonō said with a smile, his tone was still gentle and nothing had changed. "But as a mother, how can you want to see your children living a hard life?"
"Instead of doing this, it would be better for me, the mother, to work harder."
"Then just be careful."
Namikawa Yū spoke softly, "After some time, the situation will be very different.
"Before that, Teacher Nonō...
... Don't let anything happen to you."
What he was talking about was the upcoming Hokage campaign.
What Root can use to blackmail Nonō at this moment is nothing more than Orphanage's funds.
If Nonō disobeys, he will cut off Orphanage's funding so that Orphanage cannot continue to operate.
This kind of thing would have been nothing before, but when Namikaze Minato comes to power, everything will be very different.
As the polished commander, Namikaze Minato can indeed be called a polished Hokage when he first took over.
But no matter how naked he is, he is still the Hokage.
It would be okay if he didn't know what Danzo did, but if he knew about it, with Namikaze Minato's character, he would fight back Danzo's actions without Namikawa Yū saying anything.
At that time, Nonō will be able to achieve true peace, and just as she wishes in her heart, she will always be her dean Orphanage here with peace of mind.
All this won't take long.
"Yeah, okay."
Nonō smiled and said, "Then I will wait for the good news from You."
At this moment, she did not take Yu's words seriously.
Only those who have actually stayed in Root can know how huge the energy Root is.
Given Nonō's situation, it would be very difficult for her to completely get rid of Root's control.
Namikawa Yū's words are just a comfort to her.
But she was still very happy about this, and couldn't help but hug Yuu in her arms and pat his head.
"You should live a good life while I'm away."
She whispered softly, her voice as gentle as ever. "Grow up well, work hard, and don't think too much."
"No matter what, I'm still here...
Listening to Nonō's words, Namikawa Yū was stunned for a moment, and then reacted with a smile on his face.
"I will."
He walked out of Nonō's arms, waved to her, and then walked out.
Behind him, Nonō watched him leave, watching quietly.
Her eyes were as gentle as ever.
Namikawa Yū walked out of Nonō's office and came outside.
When he found Itachi Uchiha, he saw a scene that surprised him.
Inside Orphanage, Itachi Uchiha was walking around and cleaning.
Beside him, Kabuto Yakushi was also busy.
In Orphanage, the two of them seemed to be like ordinary children at the moment, helping everywhere and cleaning.
Looking at the appearance of Itachi Uchiha and Kabuto Yakushi, they seem to be familiar now.
Although I can only say a few words, considering the character of Itachi Uchiha, this is already very rare.
After all, for his precocious mind, ordinary children are too naive.
There are not many children who can talk to him.
But if it's Kabuto Yakushi, that's not surprising.
Although this child has lost his memory, he is also naturally precocious and thoughtful, no less than Itachi.
In terms of communication, he is much better than Itachi. He can chat happily and harmoniously with people who are far inferior to him, and he can also communicate with precocious people like Itachi.
Just like in the original plot, he can have a good chat with the stubborn Naruto Uzumaki, and he can also have a pleasant communication with someone like Orochimaru.
It's not surprising that these two people can connect at this moment.
"Are you helping?"
He walked forward, looked at the two people in front of him and asked.
"Ah, Brother Yu, are you here?"
Kabuto Yakushi was a little surprised when he looked at Namikawa Yū in front of him, but he quickly laughed, "Orphanage is doing some cleaning. It's okay for us to just stand there, so we stopped by to help."
"As for Itachi, he is my new friend."
He cast his gaze on Itachi beside him, with a pure smile on his face.
Friends?
Facing his gaze, Itachi Uchiha looked calm and just nodded silently, acknowledging this.
There are not many children who can chat with him in normal times, and there are very few children like Kabuto Yakushi.
To him, calling him a friend didn't seem too much.
"It seems like you guys get along pretty well."
Namikawa Yū smiled, "In that case, I will also come to help."
He was not idle, but joined in the work like the children beside him.
After one day, he took the two of them away.
Nonō had already given Kabuto Yakushi to his care. In this case, he did not leave it in Orphanage and simply took it home together.
Anyway, his home is quite spacious, and he usually lives alone, so it doesn't matter if he has one more person now.
The next day, he came to Namikaze Minato's home early in the morning.
"Ah, are you ready to open a store?"
Namikaze Minato looked at Namikawa Yū in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face at this moment.
"Yeah."
Namikawa Yū smiled and said, "I see that many children in Orphanage are not doing very well due to lack of funds, so I want to find ways to make some money."
"So what exactly do you do?"
Namikaze Minato asked.
"What about prepared foods?"
Namikawa Yū said, "Such as all kinds of instant noodles, instant noodles and so on...
"I have investigated for a while and found that many ninjas in Konoha currently need to bring their own food when they go out on missions."
"Foods such as instant noodles and instant noodles are very convenient to use, and they are much easier to carry than normal food."
The largest consumer group in Konoha is still ninjas.
As for the ninja industry, whether it is Jonin or Genin, it requires frequent tasks.
In this case, normal food will be very inconvenient to use.
Foods such as instant noodles are different from instant noodles.
On the one hand, it is easy to carry, has a long shelf life, and you don't have to worry about others poisoning it.
And it's easy to use, just use it directly.
The taste is also guaranteed, and it is much more delicious than those messy foods.
"This is a good idea."
Namikaze Minato nodded repeatedly listening to Namikawa Yū: "If it tastes good, it should sell well."
He has worked his way up from the lowest level of ninja and has performed many missions.
The source of food for most ninjas is indeed a big problem when performing ninja duties.
Sometimes when there is really no other way, insects and wild beasts in the wild can be sources of food.
But there are big problems with doing this. On the one hand, it affects your own condition, and on the other hand, there is a risk of being poisoned by the enemy ninja.
In this case, it would undoubtedly be a good choice to have such a portable food as a supplement.
"But doing business must be difficult, right?"
Namikaze Minato asked, "Yu, do you have any experience?"
He is a pure ninja, he has never done any business in the past, and he has no confidence.
The portable food business sounds good, but it's really hard to say what it will be like in practice.
"It's hard to say it's hard, but it's easy to say it's simple."
Regarding Namikaze Minato's doubts, Namikawa Yū just smiled.
When it comes to business, if you don't have resources or experience, it will be very difficult to start from scratch.
But for those who have the resources, it is very simple.
As it happens, Namikawa Yū now has resources on hand.
Namikaze Minato is now a popular candidate to compete for Hokage.
Not to mention having a good relationship with him, the number of ninjas who support him are not a small number just from Akimichi, Nara and other families.
Not to mention, he now has the support of the Uchiha Clan.
There are already a lot of ninjas from these families alone.
Considering the relationship between Namikaze Minato and them, I would like to put aside the excessive demands. I would like you to arrange some Namikawa Yū products for the ninjas in the clan. Is this okay?
As long as it can reach this point, Namikawa Yū's products will have no worries about selling.
This is a very rich resource.
After all, it couldn't be easier for those who have the resources to make some money.
The reason why no one has done this before is simply that no one thought it could be played like this.
