Two hours later, at Konoha Orphanage.
"Don't worry, Guy. I'll take good care of these children."
Yakushi Nonō made her promise with a gentle but determined look in her eyes.
She looked at the newly arrived children in the yard, who were still a little timid.
She felt a deep sense of responsibility.
Guy nodded.
"Sorry to trouble you, Director Nonō."
Nonō smiled and shook her head, her voice warm.
"This is a good thing. You don't need to say that, Guy."
"The orphanage has its grass jelly business now. Things are much better."
"And the new women can help share quite a bit of the work."

This was the first time Guy had received anything like this from a system gift pack.
He took a closer look at the system's description.
[Shaolin Wooden Dummy: A special training tool that slightly improves Taijutsu training results. Repairs itself automatically.] [Maximum force it can withstand: 10,000 jin.]

Every one of them.
They were nowhere near ninja level, but it was a good start.
And the orphanage's meals
