Chapter 199 Nonou was overcome with deep guilt

Unless someone performs the entire task alone, they can only accept the money; otherwise, the money must be split equally.

The team needs to be divided according to the number of people in the team.

In the past, she could easily earn this money, but after leaving the ninja industry, Yakushi Nonou discovered that she simply didn't know how to make money through legitimate means.

The only legitimate source is using medical ninjutsu to heal people.

"Sigh, you guys put this money away first, I'll go talk to that kid."

Yakushi Nonou's expression changed, and she went to Kiyoshi's room.

"Kiyoshi, are you free?"

Just as Kiyoshi was about to close the door, Yakushi Nonou blocked the entrance.

"certainly."

Kiyoshi made a gesture of invitation.

Click.

The door was closed.

The two went inside to be alone.

The empty corridor was empty except for the old caregiver and the plump nun looking at each other. They picked up the money scattered on the ground and carefully placed it in the office of the pharmacist, Nono.

This is also where various documents are stored.

"The dean's disciple is really capable; he's so generous with his money."

"The plump nun remarked."

So young, yet so generous, he must be a formidable figure even among ninjas.

"Yes, the blonde female ninja next to me is also very kind-hearted."

"Didn't she say that all this money was won by the dean's students?"

"Who knows?"

Their voices echoed in the corridor.

After receiving the money, the two looked much better.

They all breathed a sigh of relief for the dean.

That way, the dean won't be so tired.

……

In the children's sleeping quarters at the orphanage.

Looking at the people his age around him, Kabuto Yakushi felt wide awake.

He lay blankly on the bed, thinking about the hospital director today.

Yakushi Nonou's face became increasingly sacred in his heart.

"Kabuto... My name is Kabuto Yakushi."

Kabuto carefully remembered the precious gift the headmaster had given him.

This is all he has now that he has lost his memory and has nothing left.

Suddenly, the pharmacist felt an urgent need to urinate.

He glanced at Uluxi, whom he had met earlier that day, who was still fast asleep.

Sorry for waking everyone, he tiptoed out of bed.

Kabuto the Pharmacist needs to go to the toilet.

As he passed by one of the rooms, Kabuto Yakushi vaguely heard some noises.

He originally intended to walk straight over, but when he heard the dean's compassionate and gentle voice, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

……

"Seiji..."

The lights were off in the room.

Only the moonlight from outside filtered through the window screens, dappling the floor and casting a moonlit glow.

Kiyoshi's figure was hidden in the darkness.

Yakushi Nonou took a few steps, and the moonlight shone directly on her face.

The area was bathed in white light, like the pristine ice crystals of the snow-covered mountains.

"If Ms. Nonou thinks it's not enough, I can bring out more."

Qing Si seemed to be in a hurry.

He even made a gesture of rummaging through his pockets.

"Silly child, it's not about the money."

Yakushi Nonou was amused by Kiyoshi's actions.

After the laughter came heartache.

Her azure eyes gazed into Kiyoshi's dark eyes.

Those eyes were like the deepest darkness of night, making it impossible to see what Kiyoshi was thinking.

Yakushi Nonou could see Kiyoshi's excitement and...and longing in his eyes.

He felt excited by her gaze, anxious about the distance between them, and even developed one-sided emotional fantasies.

Kiyoshi's symptoms were much more pronounced than when she left.

This is because she failed to provide proper guidance.

Thinking about this, Nono felt a little guilty.

"Kiyoshi, you've given me enough money, but you should also think about your own future. You're still a ninja, and you still need to spend money on ninja tools, armor, scrolls..."

Yakushi Nono talked on and on.

These are all essential needs in war.

No ninja would complain about living too long.

Therefore, every ninja should buy the best equipment they can. If the enemy buys it and you don't, it's like you're at a disadvantage out of nowhere.

"These are no big problem; they're all completely exposed under my Sharingan!"

Kiyoshi acted like a child who had received a favorite toy.

He excitedly showed off his skills to Yakushi Nonou.

Looking at the tomoe on those scarlet eyes, Yakushi Nonou sighed again.

Having worked in Root for many years, she is very familiar with the Uchiha clan.

Behind the ability to awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan lies a great deal of "pain" that cannot be told to outsiders.

The two-tomoe Sharingan in his right eye seems to highlight Kiyoshi's unusual nature.

He is likely to face discrimination within the Uchiha clan.

Yakushi Nonou had only been to the Uchiha settlement once, and having been away for a long time, she wasn't sure if her guess was correct.

However, under the subtle influence of Shimura Danzo over the years, Yakushi Nonou also developed a biased view of the Uchiha clan.

In her view, all Uchiha except Kiyoshi were born evil.

The only difference is the degree of evil.

As he spoke, Kiyoshi got closer and closer to Yakushi Nonou.

Just as they were about to touch, Yakushi Nonou reached out and gently pressed down on Kiyoshi's shoulders, helping him sit on the bed.

"Kiyoshi, the so-called 'dependence,' 'worship,' and 'adoration' are not actually the same thing."

Yakushi Nonou paused and continued:

"You are a vibrant young man, while I am a retired woman, merely serving as the director of this orphanage. Your future holds many wonderful prospects; you shouldn't stop here."

"Nonou-sensei, you're too modest."

Kiyoshi shook his head stubbornly.

Yakushi Nonou was only 31 years old when she died, how old could she have been?

It could be said that it died at the perfect age, like a ripe peach.

Kiyoshi naturally had to change this outcome!

After all, when you think about it, Nono U really treated her well.

"In my heart, you will always be young."

As they spoke, Kiyoshi grabbed Yakushi Nonou's wrist.

Yakushi Nonou stiffened and bit her lip.

I want to continue explaining the pros and cons of these two things to Kiyoshi.

"It hurts so much..."

A soft murmur came from outside the door.

Hearing the noise, Yakushi Nonou gently pulled her pale wrist away and pressed the doorknob.

squeak……

Outside the door stood the figure of Yakushi Kabuto.

He fell to the ground, looking timidly at Yakushi Nonou, seemingly afraid of her reprimand.

The plump nun at the end of the corridor heard the commotion and, seeing Yakushi Kabuto running out, quickly ran over.

"What are you doing here at this hour? It's bedtime!"

The fat nun scolded.

Not every child is docile.

On the contrary, children at this age are more likely to cause trouble, so a strict approach is needed to discipline them.

"This child has just arrived here and is unaware of the orphanage's schedule and regulations."

Pharmacist Nono shook her head, telling the plump nun not to make things difficult for a child.

"Honestly, Dean, you're too soft-hearted."

The plump nun muttered to herself.

The dean is always so kind and gentle; it's easy to worry about him.

"Is this the child you adopted today?"

At that moment, Kiyoshi's figure emerged from the dimly lit room.

"Yes, this child's name is Yakushi Kabuto, that's the name I gave him."

"I see……"

Kiyoshi was not annoyed by the interruption; he simply looked at Yakushi Kabuto quietly.

Kiyoshi didn't intend to use any drastic methods in the room.

He always played the role of a naive teenager in puberty.

That requires a gradual approach.

The first time was planting a seed.

The second time was watering.

The third seed has already taken deep root in the earth, and by then, it will not be easy for it to leave that soil.

Kiyoshi plans to redeem Yakushi Nonou using gentle methods.

That's right. It can change the way someone dies in the original story and also increase their eye power. Kiyoshi calls it redemption.

To defeat Shimura Danzo, improving one's strength is essential.

Despite the seemingly abstract act of Shimura Danzo stabbing Susanoo with a kunai, his mastery of Wind Release was actually quite high, and he quickly enchanted the kunai with Wind Release techniques.

Ultimately, it failed because the kunai was made of too ordinary material.

What if we replaced his sword with Sasuke's Kusanagi sword?

There's also his trump card, the "Inner Four Symbols Seal," which he's been suppressing because he's always been wary of Obito.

"Hey, come here and see this clock? It's been 20 minutes past lights out."

The plump nun pointed to the clock on the wall and said to Kabuto Yakushi.

"So please remember the lights-out time."

The plump nun looked at Yakushi Kabuto.

The pharmacist squinted, unable to see clearly.

"What time is it? You better answer me properly."

Despite the fat nun's persistent questioning, Kabuto Yakushi remained bewildered.

Yakushi Nonou noticed that Yakushi Kabuto was nearsighted, so she gave him her round-framed glasses.

Coincidentally, Kabuto Yakushi's prescription and Nono Yakushi's prescription are almost identical.

"Dou is also a talented person."

Kiyoshi thought to himself.

If it weren't for his appearance, Orochimaru would have considered Kabuto to be the best assistant.

This is also one of the few ninjas who can reach the top without relying on bloodline.

Without Kabuto Yakushi's "Impure World Reincarnation Technique," it would have been much more difficult for Obito to start the Fourth Shinobi World War.

If the opportunity arises, it wouldn't be bad to recruit them as subordinates.

"It's getting late, I'm going to sleep now, Nono-sensei."

Kiyoshi interrupted this deeply moving scene and went back to his room.

"……OK."

Yakushi Nonou's eyes were complicated; she still didn't know how to face Kiyoshi.

After Kiyoshi went inside, the plump nun took Yakushi Kabuto to the toilet and then back to his bedroom.

As he left, Kabuto Yakushi kept his eyes fixed on Kiyoshi and the director.

He always felt a sense of sadness, like discovering a treasure with great difficulty only to have someone else snatch it up first.

"Dean..."

……

Early the next morning, Kiyoshi and Tsunade continued their journey to the battlefield.

Their primary objective was to determine whether Iwagakure would launch a feint attack on Konoha.

Even Kiyoshi cannot guarantee that reality will unfold exactly as the story unfolds.

After all, the butterfly effect he brought about has already changed many things.

Several days later, the two finally crossed the border of the Land of Fire and arrived in a neighboring country.

But this was not the end. Following the information, the two continued their journey to the more distant Land of Earth.

The Land of Earth is located to the northwest of the Land of Fire, and their territories do not border each other.

It is also separated by small countries such as the Land of Waterfalls, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Rain.

These smaller countries served as buffer zones between larger nations. (End of Chapter)
