Light green light flickered, and the speed of healing the wound suddenly accelerated.
"Okay."
Seeing this, Yakushi Nonō nodded slightly.
I haven't seen you for a long time. Medical Arts of Kiyoshi must have made great progress again.
As expected, the Medical Arts in Kiyoshi's hands was so exquisite that it took only a moment to heal Orochimaru's hands.
"In that case, I'm going out first."
Orochimaru Pull down the cuffs to cover your arms.
Before leaving, he turned around and said one more thing:
"Danzo is here too."
After saying that, Orochimaru opened the curtain and went out.
"Danzo?"
Kurenai Yuhi is unfamiliar with this name.
"He is a senior executive of Konoha."
Seeing the goddess' confusion, Asuma Sarutobi immediately explained, wanting to show his knowledgeable side.
Anbu is very mysterious to most ninjas, but Root is even more mysterious than Anbu.
They are responsible for the darker and darker stuff, so naturally they are not suitable for publicity.
"..."
Yakushi Nonō's eyes flickered slightly under the lenses.
Shimura Danzō is here, which shows that her previous guess is very likely to be correct.
"Kiyoshi, please help me take care of these injuries. Children know very little."
Yakushi Nonō said.
The conditions of the orphanage are limited, so it is naturally impossible for these children to undergo any serious ninja training.
Being able to select so many children who can use the most superficial Medical Arts is the result of these children working harder than ordinary people in private.
"Okay."
Kiyoshi nodded.
Shimura Danzō came here just to put pressure on Yakushi Nonō, pressuring her to go back and continue.
Yakushi Nonō hurried out.
"Nobuhiko also needs treatment."
Himondo Hyuga is carrying Nobuhiko Hyuga.
Being on the road for a long time, Nobuhiko Hyuga's empty eye sockets are easily infected.
Moreover, his body after being tortured could not withstand the long journey, and his ability to survive until now was the limit.
"Kiyoshi, could you please help Nobuhiko check it out later?"
After Himondo Hyuga, Ginka Hyuga looked at Himondo Hyuga who was carrying Nobuhiko Hyuga, and then looked at Kiyoshi, with a slightly unnatural expression.
"Put it aside."
Kiyoshi pointed to an open space and indicated that they could lay out a sheet and put Nobuhiko Hyuga on it to lie down.
Nobuhiko Hyuga's injury was not serious, but it was just troublesome, so he followed them back among the first batch.
As far as Kiyoshi knew, Hyuga Hiashi's injury seemed to be more serious and required the use of some sophisticated equipment. There were Hyuga people who took him back day and night.
Calculating the time now, it should be Konoha.
I don't know the specific injury Kiyoshi, but it seems that the lower limbs were affected.
"Thank you... thank you..."
Ginka Hyuga didn't expect Kiyoshi to be so easy to talk to, and his eyes were complicated for a moment.
"Kabuto, help me get the scalpel."
Kiyoshi said to Yakushi Kabuto who was standing next to him.
"Oh... ok."
Yakushi Kabuto was stunned for a moment. He recognized Kiyoshi and remembered that Kiyoshi seemed to have some relationship with the previous dean.
He had met Kiyoshi Uchiha before.
After Yakushi Kabuto brought the scalpel, he would strike at Kiyoshi from time to time.
Kurenai Yuhi is also doing what he can.
As for Asuma Sarutobi, he has already gone to the back to set up a tent.
This kind of thing that consumes physical strength requires a strong-backed person like him to do it.
Orphanage, in the wooden house on the first floor.
There were two people sitting at the only small table in the room, namely Yakushi Nonō and Shimura Danzō.
Standing behind Yakushi Nonō are Fat Nun and Caretaker Old Man.
Behind Shimura Danzō are Orochimaru and Ryoma Aburame.
"Long time no see, your complexion is getting worse and worse, Nonō."
Shimura Danzō's voice was as gloomy as ever, and his words meant something.
During this period, the information submitted by his subordinates all showed that the orphanage was deteriorating.
It was at this juncture that Shimura Danzō came to Yakushi Nonō.
Yakushi Nonō is short of money. Besides him, who else can come up with such a large sum of money?
Kiyoshi?
That kid and Tsunade were lucky enough to win once in the casino.
The daily expenses required to maintain the orphanage cannot last long.
Who made the kind-hearted Yakushi Nonō adopt too many orphans?
"What do you want to do when you come to me? We have already discussed the aid fund with Konoha. Why are you now..."
Yakushi Nonō means more than that.
What she wants to say is that she has obviously withdrawn from Root, which was also allowed by Shimura Danzō at the beginning.
As a result, Shimura Danzō has gone back on his word and acted like a monster again.
"Haha, Nonō, it seems that the comfortable environment of the orphanage has corrupted you and made you naive."
The left half of Shimura Danzō's face was covered with white bandages, and he stared at Nonō with only his right eye exposed.
"We're not just here for the aid money."
Shimura Danzō said.
"Then what else..."
"During this battle, we found out that Iwagakure was greatly affected by the battle of Kannabi Bridge. It is suspected that he is re-formulating a combat plan and wants to continue to invade Land of Fire."
As Shimura Danzō's right-hand man, Ryoma Aburame said.
Root has absorbed many people from the ninja clan, and Ryoma Aburame is one of the Aburame Clan's former geniuses.
"Kannabi Bridge?"
Yakushi Nonō, who has withdrawn from the ninja world for a long time, feels unfamiliar and dull to these situations.
"Ho ho, this is the achievement of your disciple Kiyoshi."
Orochimaru briefly introduced the mission to Yakushi Nonō, as well as the current battle situation of Five Great Nations.
"...Kiyoshi also did these things?"
Hearing this, Yakushi Nonō's heart ached inexplicably.
All she got was Kiyoshi's hard-earned money.
Just by listening to Orochimaru talk about the incident in an understatement, one can imagine the critical situation at that time.
Kiyoshi and another team are obviously... baits.
Yakushi Nonō bit her lips.
"So you want me to continue being a spy?"
"Yes, if it is not intercepted in time, it may change the situation of the war. We need you to investigate the time, location and specific content of this plan, follow up long-term, and report at any time."
"Please allow me to think about it."
Yakushi Nonō wanted to refuse directly.
But the face of Kiyoshi echoed in his mind, the face that kept working hard to gain her recognition.
I started to feel guilty.
To be honest, when I saw Kiyoshi for the first time today, in addition to the joy of meeting Yakushi Nonō, I also had some expectations of getting money.
But after listening to what Orochimaru said, Yakushi Nonō decided not to do that again.
As soon as you have difficulties, you ask Kiyoshi to borrow money, which will form path dependence.
Borrowing money is essentially passing on the pain, passing on her pain about money to Kiyoshi.
Let Kiyoshi walk around the orphanage on his back.
How shameless this is.
Yakushi Nonō recited scriptures praising God in his heart, hoping to make his heart calmer.
"Consider? Does this still need to be considered?"
Shimura Danzō's tone became colder.
"You don't understand at all!"
Beside, Caretaker Old Man, who was wearing glasses, suddenly stood up and interrupted excitedly:
"Have you ever thought about how important the director is to the orphanage and the children? He has to worry about raising funds so that he can barely maintain the expenses of the orphanage!"
Fat Nun also interjected angrily:
"For such a dangerous mission, can't it be enough for people from Root to come? Why do we have to find the dean!"
Shimura Danzō waved his hand impatiently:
"Except for your dean, no one is qualified for this long-term latent mission. It may be difficult for anyone at Root to remain loyal under mental pressure, but I believe that Nonō will never betray Konoha."
Shimura Danzō paused, his voice as cold as ice:
"If you refuse, the orphanage will not be able to receive aid funds in the future."
"That's unreasonable!"
Caretaker Old Man The old man couldn't get angry and continued:
"We submitted an application to Third Hokage, and he will never allow you to go so far!"
Ryoma Aburame had a sneer on his lips.
"Third Hokage is Third Hokage. Your orphanage seems to be easily visited by thieves. Why not hire someone to look after the door? Also, there are so many adopted orphans with unknown backgrounds, so there is still some use value..."
Ryoma Aburame said.
"!"
Fat Nun and Caretaker Old Man looked pale and shocked.
How can the dignified Konoha be so despicable?
"Are you considered ninjas like this?"
"You are the ones who are confused about the status of the needle."
Shimura Danzō held his face with his left hand, interrupted Caretaker Old Man and said:
"As long as I can protect Konoha, all this is nothing."
"Give me a few more days to think about it."
Yakushi Nonō sighed.
If this was the only way, Yakushi Nonō would like to stay and spend a few more days with the children.
Once you infiltrate the enemy's country, it will take a lot of time, and coming back will become a luxury.
"Consider it? Considering that you have been working for me for many years, you can. However, in order to obtain this information, one of my subordinates died. I will choose one of your children as a replacement."
Those children who learned Medical Arts themselves proved to have ninja talents.
Root will only absorb children. If they are trained to eliminate inner emotions from an early age, they will become Root's sharp blade.
"Isn't this too much?"
Yakushi Nonō didn't expect Shimura Danzō to be so greedy.
"These two things are calculated separately. We will prepare the money next time, but this time the money must be exchanged for a person in your courtyard."
"And no matter what, how can you be sure that none of the children you adopted wants to be our Konoha ninja? Just ask, maybe there is one?"
"..."
The result of this conversation was really not pleasant, and in the end Nonō came out with a heavy heart.
"Dean, the new ninja is so powerful. He has healed many people."
Urushi opens.
This is a good thing. The more people you treat, the more burden you will have on the dean.
"Yes, Mr. Dean, and that ninja is very handsome. Are all Konoha ninjas like this?"
The chirping voices of children sounded around Yakushi Nonō.
Yakushi Nonō forced a smile and responded to the children.
Although there has been some degradation in all aspects, Yakushi Nonō's acting skills are still good. None of the children in front of him noticed the reluctance in Yakushi Nonō's smile.
"Sister Nonō, is it convenient for us to talk in private?"
Kiyoshi came out of the tent, showing no signs of fatigue after consuming a lot of Chakra to heal others.
He also got a new entry called [Battlefield Medic (green)]. The efficiency of healing others and himself on the battlefield will be increased by 10% on the original basis.
For Kiyoshi it is better than nothing.
"Okay."
Nonō nodded and followed Kiyoshi to leave.
noon.
"Where's the dean?"
After working for a long time, Yakushi Kabuto came out of the tent and found that there was no sign of the dean.
"The dean went to discuss matters with the ninja named Kiyoshi Uchiha."
Urushi pointed in the direction of the orphanage building.
"Discuss something?"
Yakushi Kabuto murmured.
Without thinking much, he went to get a handkerchief to wipe his sweaty face.
Such high-intensity labor is still a bit difficult for a child like him.
"Hey, we're ready to eat. Everyone, come here quickly."
Fat Nun tapped the wooden barrel filled with rice with a spoon.
Recently, in addition to what the children eat, they are also responsible for what the ninjas eat.
The orphanage can earn an extra amount of money through this.
"Come on, Kabuto."
Urushi urged.
If you go late, there won't be anything to eat.
"Coming."
Yakushi Kabuto put down the veil in a hurry and followed Urushi.
As a growing man, he was very hungry after working for a long time.
After they finish eating, they have a two-hour nap.
There is still work to be done in the afternoon, so it is best to get a good rest.
On the other side, Kiyoshi and Yakushi Nonō arrived on the second floor of the orphanage.
The second floor is where Nonō works, which is more private.
"Teacher Nono, you have looked haggard recently."
Kiyoshi's eyes fell on Nonō.
She was still wearing an old-fashioned nun's uniform.
Similarly, the convex figure can also be revealed under the cover of the thick robe.
With the gentle movements of Yakushi Nonō, the thick nun's uniform will tighten and reveal graceful curves.
Plump... this is the greatest feeling.
The orphanage is in a period of money shortage, but Nonō can still have such a figure.
It can only be said that it is due to talent.
"It's because I'm getting older."
Yakushi Nonō shook his head slightly.
"How could it be possible? Teacher Nono will always be so beautiful in my mind."
Kiyoshi opens.
It would be better to say that the upper-year series has more bonuses and can speed up the attack.
Mikoto, Tsunade, Kushina, which one is not full of feminine charm?
This is not comparable to Rin Nohara and Kurenai Yuhi.
They have gone through years of precipitation. As the saying goes, women are like wine, the more they age, the more fragrant they become.
Of course, forget about old ones like Chiyo and Utatane Koharu.
This seemingly heartfelt feeling allowed Nonō to capture the burning in Kiyoshi's eyes.
"Kiyoshi, you should pay more attention to the girls of the same age around you."
Nonō wants to persuade.
However, Kiyoshi fumbled around for a while and took out a Sealing Scroll.
"Teacher Nono, you must be short of money now, otherwise you wouldn't have taken on these businesses. You said you wanted to retire from the ninja industry."
Blah blah blah...
A pile of banknotes fell on the table, with the Konoha mark clearly visible.
Money, lots and lots of money.
Yakushi Nonō After a quick estimate, the money here is no less than 700,000 taels!
It was even a full 100,000 taels more than the 600,000 taels donated by Kiyoshi and Tsunade last time.
For ordinary people, it takes a long time to earn money, which is boring but not fatal.
Ninjas need to perform more tasks that may endanger their lives!
The heavy weight of all this money fell on Yakushi Nonō's heart.
The words she spoke also brought a sense of heaviness:
"These are your hard-earned money. The orphanage is short of money, but it's not enough for you to resist."
"It's okay. I'm very good. If the money is gone, I can still make it again."
Kiyoshi shook his head.
He also took out some pastries and handed them to Yakushi Nonō.
"Teacher Nono, try these, you haven't had them in a long time."
Yakushi Nonō looked at the three-color meatballs in Kiyoshi's hands and fell into deep thought.
She hadn't eaten these for a long time.
She would not buy these to eat herself. Only when Konoha was there, Kiyoshi would take the initiative to buy them for her from time to time.
Now that I am in the orphanage, I have to worry about food, rice, oil and salt every day, and it is even less possible to buy it.
"Kiyoshi, you are still young. Just because you can make money now doesn't mean you can always make money in the future."
Ninja business is an unstable one.
You get one mission per mission, and the success of the previous mission does not mean the success of the next mission.
Once the task fails, it will be a trivial matter in vain, and more likely, death or even permanent disability.
Nonō knew a "Ten Thousand Years Genin" Maruboshi Kosuke. When Second was in power, when he was young, he was eager for quick success and quick success in the execution of his mission. He rashly commanded and ordered the death of two companions. Under the psychological shadow, he vowed to only be Genin to atone for his sins.
Later, Third came to power, and Maruboshi Kosuke, who was in middle age, unfortunately suffered a disability in his left eye due to his mission.
This is a microcosm of Shinobi World. In fact, Maruboshi Kosuke's strength is also among the elite in jounin power.
Those real Chunin and Genin, I don't know how many have faded out of the ninja industry, leaving behind lifelong sequelae.
To put it bluntly, if Kiyoshi encounters any accident, the money will only be enough for him to support himself in his old age.
Known as "Walking Miko", she has been to many places and seen many things.
There are countless examples of these, so many that they have become the norm.
"Isn't this the fate of ninjas?"
Kiyoshi not only did not feel sad about spring and autumn, but his eyes became even hotter.
"It is precisely because of this that I want to try more things. After all... I don't know when I will die. I just want to experience more beautiful things while I am alive."
Kiyoshi's words made Yakushi Nonō not sure how to refute.
Live in the moment?
For ninjas, and ninjas during war, this should indeed be thought of.
"Don't say such unlucky words."
Yakushi Nonō stared at Kiyoshi without looking at the money on the table.
In any case, Kiyoshi is her first disciple.
This status is naturally somewhat special.
Before that, she was still the cold first sister of Root's intelligence team.
Kiyoshi broke in just when her human side was beginning to grow, leaving more traces.
"Teacher Nono, after the reward for the next mission arrives, I will continue to assist the orphanage because I don't want to see you looking sad."
"... you."
Yakushi Nonō felt moved and remorseful at the same time.
This child was moved to know how to be grateful.
I blame myself for not teaching this child well.
Perhaps Kiyoshi is unrealistic about himself because of the influence of childhood shadow.
These children are okay, and everyone from the orphanage is accompanying them.
Kiyoshi, an orphan, could only stay alone in Land of Lightning and eat hundreds of meals. When Konoha arrived, Uchiha Clan didn't like him very much at first.
"Nonō... Have you ever had a boyfriend?"
"No."
Yakushi Nonō shook his head slightly.
She didn't even have a false identity to carry out spy missions. She performed them all alone, and the only identity she could use was a single identity.
"The life of a ninja is so short, Teacher Nono, why not give it a try?"
"Who should I... try?"
Yakushi Nonō frowned slightly.
He reacted immediately.
Kiyoshi's eyes kept scanning her body.
It's true to say that the master-disciple relationship between the two has never been a serious apprenticeship.
They are more like friends when we get along.
The only thing that stood between them was their age. She was much older than Kiyoshi.
"Just for a moment, just let me experience it."
The atmosphere in the room with only the two of them suddenly became a little strange.
Wow...
A wad of money fell from the table to the ground, the tied strings shattered, and the bills inside spilled all over the floor.
After repeated weighing, thinking, and constant struggle and hesitation.
Yakushi Nonō sighed deeply.
The things you can't get at a young age will eventually trap you for the rest of your life.
Children who lack love will spend their whole lives looking for love, not to mention, Uchiha is a loving family.
Kiyoshi can be forgiven for inadvertently going astray.
She was the one who made the mistake.
Didn't fulfill its due responsibilities.
If you let Kiyoshi get what you want, you may find that it is nothing more than that.
Just like the nature of children, they always like the new and hate the old.
She wants to educate Kiyoshi correctly.
It starts with a correct understanding of relationships.
She squatted down.
It seems to be to pick up the money scattered on the ground, or maybe it is the broken lines?
The midday sun gradually grew stronger, and the warm light projected outside the window became fiery.
The sunlight is bright and white, illuminating a large area of light and shadow.
In the corners where sunlight cannot reach, where there are shadows, there is a vague silhouette of an animal appearing.
Its burly and ferocious appearance is unparalleled.
"Won't the dean come out for dinner?"
"Maybe I finished my exchange with my disciples and went to rest early."
"That's how it should be."
Fat Nun and Caretaker Old Man and a group of children began to clear away the dishes.
Yakushi Nonō sometimes falls asleep directly on the table in her office because she is too tired.
"Okay, you guys go back to bed quickly."
After cleaning up, Fat Nun greeted the children.
The ninjas in the shantytown are looked after by their own people, and there is not much they can do in the orphanage. They can only help with some chores. After all, they are just a group of children of a few years old.
Mainly rely on Yakushi Nonō for treatment.
As soon as the disciples of Yakushi Nonō came today, they healed many people and greatly reduced their stress.
"Got it."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded.
Follow Urushi and a group of friends to the sleeping room.
"Urushi, did you hear any swallowing sounds?"
Yakushi Kabuto's ears twitched slightly.
His talent in controlling Chakra is very good. At the same age, the Chakra he refined is much better than other children.
Therefore, he was in better health than others. He vaguely heard some noise coming out.
It's like a hot summer traveler who picks up popsicles and eats them to relieve the heat.
"Is there any?"
Urushi was stunned.
"Hey, do you hear me?"
Urushi Ask others.
"Sound? There is no sound."
"Kabuto, you must be tired and confused."
No one except Yakushi Kabuto heard anything.
Am I really too tired?
Yakushi Kabuto thought so.
