"Here is"
Looking at the increasingly familiar environment in front of him, Namikaze Minato finally reacted.
Isn't this the Konoha Orphanage I stayed at when I was a child?
"Kizaru brother, in front"
"Orphanage!" Before Minato could finish asking, Kizaru had already answered.
Nodding, Minato was more curious about the child Kizaru mentioned.
Orphan? I wonder what happened to my former friends in the village?
Hearing Kizaru's words, Kushina thought of Land of Whirlpools, who had been destroyed by the enemy, and his childhood friends!
Sensing something strange about Kushina, Kizaru smiled and lowered his head, putting his hand on her shoulder, "In the future, you might become good friends."
Friends!
Kushina raised his head suddenly, feeling a bit of anticipation for the person he was going to see next.
After comforting Kushina, Kizaru sped up and led several people outside Konoha Orphanage.
"What a coincidence!" Kizaru said with a smile, looking at a little girl with light orange-blond hair who was taking care of her companion not far away.
Following Kizaru's line of sight, the three people around him also looked over.
"That girl?" Minato said softly, looking at the little girl not far away who had the same gentle smile as himself.
"Yes!" replied aloud, Kizaru stepped forward and walked towards the little girl.
He pulled up his companion who fell to the ground. As the most outstanding and caring child among Orphanage, Yakushi Nonō was just about to speak out to comfort his companion when he felt the light around him dim and someone seemed to be approaching.
Pulling his companion up, Yakushi Nonō instinctively protected his companion behind him and looked at the person coming.
With a smile on his face, Yakushi Nonō recognized Kizaru.
"You are the big brother from last time!" Looking at Kizaru, Yakushi Nonō said softly.
Taking a step forward, Kizaru sat directly on the ground casually, looking down at Yakushi Nonō slightly.
"It's been so long! Nonō!" Seeing this little kid, Kizaru's smile became a little brighter.
"You are not allowed to take your sister away!" Behind Yakushi Nonō, a little boy about five years old also recognized Kizaru. He stepped forward nervously and stopped behind Kizaru and Yakushi Nonō.
"Oh ho ho, what a brave little kid!" Seeing the little boy glaring nervously at him, Kizaru laughed happily.
"Kazuma, don't be rude!" Pulling Kazuma back to the side, Yakushi Nonō looked at Kizaru and said firmly, "Brother, I want to stay at Orphanage."
"I seem to have become a bad guy, hahaha!" He complained to himself, and Kizaru laughed.
Seeing what Kizaru said, the smart Yakushi Nonō immediately reacted. Kizaru didn't want to take him away this time.
"Brother, what's wrong with you Orphanage?" Yakushi Nonō asked after relaxing.
"I'm here to return the favor! Nonō!" Putting his hands on his knees, Kizaru replied with a smile.
"Gift in return?" Yakushi Nonō was a little confused about Kizaru's answer.
"Brother, please bring the box." Kizaru turned slightly sideways and shouted to Kakuzu behind him.
After being ordered by Kizaru again, Kakuzu walked up to Kizaru with a cold face, holding a suitcase.
Frightened by Kakuzu's appearance and momentum, Kazuma, who had just glared at Kizaru, hid behind Yakushi Nonō in fear.
After grabbing Kazuma's little hand, Yakushi Nonō gave him a gentle smile and looked at Kizaru and Kakuzu again.
"Last time, you bought me a bowl of water. Today I'm returning the favor!" Facing Yakushi Nonō's gaze, Kizaru explained aloud.
After being reminded by Kizaru, Yakushi Nonō also remembered it.
That was the first time Kizaru met her. At that time, she was sitting alone outside, reading a book in the sunshine, and met her big brother who had just finished training.
This elder brother took the initiative to walk up to him, said strange words, and asked his name.
After knowing his name, his elder brother asked him for a bowl of water.
After I ran back to the house, picked up a bowl of water, and handed it to my elder brother to drink, I received his invitation.
He wanted to take him away from Orphanage, bring him to his family, and adopt him.
Unable to let go of Orphanage's companion, I rejected him and worried about this for several days, fearing that I would be forcibly adopted and taken away.
"It's just a bowl of water, no need to reciprocate, big brother!" Looking at the big brother in front of him, whose name he still doesn't know, Yakushi Nonō smiled and refused.
"This gift is not just for you! This is a gift from me to the whole Welfare Institute." In front of the two orphans, Kizaru didn't want to say Orphanage's real name, but changed it to another way.
Welfare Institute!
Hearing the title of Kizaru, Yakushi Nonō also understood the intention of Kizaru's name, and looked at Kizaru with a lot of good feelings.
"Then I'll call the dean, please wait a moment." Yakushi Nonō said politely, pulling Kazuma behind him, and ran towards the house.
Smilingly watching Yakushi Nonō running into the house with Kazuma, Kizaru withdrew his gaze and looked at Kakuzu.
"Brother, please count 20 million out of the cash box." Kizaru trusted Kakuzu's computing power and asked with a smile.
Taking only 20 million is not because Kizaru is stingy, but because the money given is too much, which is not a good thing for Orphanage!
Damn it, does this guy really regard me as his subordinate?
"I'll treat you to barbecue tonight!" Kizaru said with a smile after observing the change in Kakuzu's expression.
Considering Kizaru's strength, Kakuzu didn't say anything, but silently opened the cash box and started counting the money.
Just when Kakuzu started counting the money, Yakushi Nonō came out of the house with an old man and a middle-aged woman.
Behind the three people, many children were secretly standing at the door, looking at Kizaru curiously and cautiously.
The old man brought out by Yakushi Nonō is the current dean of Orphanage.
Seeing Kizaru, the dean immediately recognized his identity.
"Sir Kizaru." The dean shouted with great respect for this genius and war hero who came from a wealthy family.
"Just call me Kizaru." He interrupted the dean's greetings, and Kizaru stood up with a smile.
"Um Kizaru, I wonder what's the reason for you coming here this time?" Looking up at the tall Kizaru, the dean asked carefully.
"This guy next to me wants to donate 20 million taels to Welfare Institute." As he spoke, Kizaru turned to look at Kakuzu and gave him a look.
The mature Kakuzu immediately understood what Kizaru meant. After nodding, he silently started to take money from the cash box.
One bundle, two bundles, loose bundle.
Although the amount of each banknote is large, the amount of 20 million is still not small, and the dean alone cannot handle it.
The nurse aunt on the side saw this and quickly stepped forward to help. Together, they took down the 20 million.
With so much money, the dean and the nursing aunt were both a little excited.
They are not greedy for money, but they know what these 20 million means to Orphanage!
Dilapidated houses and furniture can be refurbished, children can get new clothes, and food can be improved.
"Sir Kizaru, I really don't know how to thank you." This time the dean called Kizaru "sir" sincerely.
"Hahaha!" Kizaru laughed happily. He raised his hand and patted Kakuzu, who was silent beside him, and said with a smile, "If I want to thank you, I would like to thank Mr. Kakuzu. He donated all the money. I! I just led the way!"
"Mr. Kakuzu, thank you for your help to Orphanage!" After hearing Kizaru's words, the dean and the nursing aunt looked at Kakuzu with grateful faces and expressed their sincere thanks.
Nodding silently, Kakuzu looked at the smiling Kizaru next to him with deep eyes.
"The gift has been delivered, it's time for us to leave." Kizaru smiled and clapped his hands, and looked back at Yakushi Nonō who was looking at him gratefully, "If you feel that the return gift is too heavy, come and have a barbecue with me! Nonō!"
After receiving the invitation from Kizaru, Yakushi Nonō did not answer directly, but looked at the dean's grandfather and aunt beside him.
"Go! Nonō!" The dean felt very sorry for this most obedient and sensible child in Orphanage. He smiled kindly and said to Nonō.
"I'll keep an eye on the children, you don't have to worry. Go ahead, Nonō!" The nurse aunt on the side also persuaded with a smile.
After being persuaded by the dean and aunt, Yakushi Nonō hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, bowed deeply to Kizaru and Kakuzu and said, "Brother Kizaru, Mr. Kakuzu, thank you for your help."
After saying that, Yakushi Nonō raised his body, looked at Kizaru, showed a rare naughty smile that a child should have, and said with a smile, "I will trouble you next, big brother Kizaru!"
