Chapter 199 Orphanage
Chapter 199 Orphanage
“Ow, that hurts.”
The little kid with three fox whiskers on each side of his mouth and short golden hair patted his butt, stood up, and looked at the expressionless face next to him.
"Master, where are we?"
"master?"
After looking for a long time without any answer, he just stared blankly at the master in the distance.
The blond boy looked in the direction he was looking.
The four faces on the Hokage Rock, the iconic building of Konoha Village, could be clearly seen.
"Ah, we're still in Konoha."
"But why are there only four faces on this Hokage Rock and no grandpa's?"
The man with the paralyzed face did not answer, but just listened to the voice of a pink turtle on the ground, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
────
"That's just the way it is."
In the Hokage's office, Uchiha Minami embraced Tsunade's plump body with both hands, lowered his head and inhaled a breath of fragrance while saying
"That means you will master Wood Release in the future."
Tsunade ignored the man acting so unruly in her arms, and reluctantly accepted the idea that Danzo Shimura would study her grandfather's cells and that this guy would enjoy the results.
"Damn old dog! I really want to dig him out and kill him again for daring to desecrate Grandpa's body cells."
"Yes, yes, that old dog deserves to die."
Uchiha Nan was concentrating on talking elegantly while making perfunctory remarks.
"Go away, you bastard. I have some official business to attend to."
Feeling the pain in her chest, Tsunade, who was already in a bad mood, pushed Uchiha Minami out of the office door.
"Alas, the duck in hand flew away again."
When Uchiha Nan was standing at the door of the office sighing, a timid voice beside him interrupted him.
"Yes, is it Master Nan?"
"Yes"
Hearing the sweet voice mixed with a hint of fear, Uchiha Nan immediately turned his head away.
He saw a tall and well-proportioned woman wearing a nun-like outfit, emitting a special glow and looking at him timidly.
The pair of black-framed glasses on her face added a bit more temptation to her little face, making her look as if you wanted to lock her up in a small dark room.
Yakushi Nono stood at the entrance of the Hokage Building, feeling the burning gazes on his body, and his already limited courage was almost running out.
Before coming to find this person, he had heard from his companions that this new Root leader was powerful and brutal.
On the battlefield, countless enemy ninjas were killed.
There are even rumors circulating that the Third Hokage and Lord Danzo were killed by this person.
If the orphanage had not run out of funds, it wouldn't even have enough money to buy new clothes for the children.
He would not come to look for this new leader who looked very difficult to deal with.
But thinking of the eager eyes of those children, and the new child who always gave way to others and helped her with housework.
Yakushi Nono's belief became firmer.
For my kids, I'm not afraid of anything!
"My Lord."
Uchiha Nan was awakened by the weak voice and swallowed secretly.
Wow, this woman looked just like him. Every detail of her body captured his heart.
"What's the matter with you?"
"My eldest son, I am Yakushi Nono, a member of the Root. I came to you this time to ask for funding for the orphanage."
Nono replied
"Orphanage!"
After hearing what she said, Uchiha Nan seemed to remember who the person in front of him was, a tragic woman.
Originally a spy under Danzo, his real identity is the director of an orphanage.
Later, in order to get rid of the identity of a spy, he was designed by Danzo to fight against the children he had raised.
In the end, he died at the hands of that child without knowing it, which can be regarded as a great tragedy in Naruto.
Nono was frightened by Uchiha Minami's tone.
I thought that the new leader of the Root was just like Shimura Danzo, who didn't value this facility at all and didn't want to waste money.
He quickly bowed and lowered his body, praying in a slightly trembling voice.
"Please, I will agree to whatever you ask for. If I had no other choice, I would not come to you for help. If you don't allocate funds, the children will not even have food to eat."
Looking at this humble woman, he almost thought of a movie.
Dean, you don’t want these children to not even have food to eat, right?
Uchiha Nan quickly shook his head to get rid of the evil thoughts in his mind, and then thought of Kabuto Yakushi, who was born in an orphanage in the original work and inherited all of Orochimaru's skills.
I don't know if this child has joined an orphanage now. If possible, with training, he can become a major pillar of Konoha in the future.
"Get up, I'm going to the orphanage to see if what you said is true."
Uchiha Nan pressed Yakushi Nono's shoulders with a little force to help her stand up.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I thank you on behalf of those children."
Pharmacist Nono stood up with tears of gratitude, and the smile on his face could hardly be suppressed, and he secretly said in his heart
Who said that this adult was cruel and ruthless? He was clearly a kind, amiable, handsome and good-looking young man.
In a corner of a village not far from the root, there stands a courtyard with mottled walls and criss-crossing cracks.
Entering the inner room, the incomplete tiles on the roof even revealed the sky.
The facilities inside the house were extremely rudimentary. The dormitories were overcrowded, the beds were worn out, and the quilts were as thin as a cicada's wing.
Uchiha Nan followed Yakushi Nono to tour the entire orphanage, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.
"What do the village's high-ranking officials do for a living? That's how they treat the future flowers."
Looking at the children who were huddled in the corner, looking at him from afar and not daring to approach him, Uchiha Nan became even angrier.
But at this time, Yakushi Nono interrupted him.
"Sir, this is a facility under the name of the Root. Normally, no one is allowed to approach. It just collects orphans who have lost their relatives, so the village cannot affect here."
"Uh"
Uchiha Nan's heart stagnated. After talking for a long time, he finally cursed himself. Did he have to be responsible for the orphanage's current state?
No, it was all done by that old dog Danzo. He just freed these poor people from the hands of the devil. He was great.
"Don't worry, Nono, the funding will arrive tomorrow and will be increased tenfold."
"Thank you, sir!"
After hearing the good news that he would no longer have to live a hard life in the future, tears kept flashing under the black frame of Pharmacist Nono.
"Thank you sir"
A young man with silver hair who had been following Nono and helping all the way also bowed his head to express his gratitude.
But Uchiha Nan looked at him with interest, looking at his clear and bright eyes.
"This kid's name is Kabuto, right? Are you interested in learning ninjutsu from me?"
"Ah" Yakushi Kabuto was stunned and couldn't help but raise his head to look at Uchiha Minami.
Deep down in his heart, he didn't have much desire to become a powerful ninja.
But he understood that one cannot survive in this world without force, and for the sake of the orphanage and the director, she must become stronger.
And if he agreed to this important person, the director would no longer have to worry about the orphanage's funds.
But I really don’t want to leave here.
