Konoha Orphanage.
The night was pitch-black, and the Orphanage had very little lighting, so Shinichi could only feel his way inside in the dark.
If anyone who didn't know better saw him, they might well think a burglar had arrived.
I wonder where that brat Kabuto is...
Shinichi wondered, a little puzzled.
I must have too much time on my hands, choosing to visit at night. Couldn't I have come during the day?
Following the only light in the Orphanage, Shinichi slowly made his way inside.

"Of course I believe you didn't do it on purpose, Mr. Shinichi."
Nonō discreetly hid
