They failed to fulfill their due responsibilities.

If Kiyoshi gets what he wants, he might find it's not all that great.

Just like children, they are always prone to getting bored with the old and wanting the new.

She wanted to provide Qing Si with the correct education.

Let's start by understanding relationships correctly.

She squatted down.

It seems to be to pick up money scattered on the ground, or perhaps to retrieve broken lines?

The midday sun gradually grew stronger, and the warm light shining through the window became intense.

The bright sunlight cast a large expanse of light and shadow.

In the shadowy corners where sunlight couldn't reach, the faint silhouette of a beast seemed to descend upon the world.

It was burly and ferocious, and arrogant.

…………

"Isn't the dean coming out for dinner?"

"Perhaps he finished his conversation with his disciples and went to rest early."

"This should be."

The plump nun, the elderly caregiver, and a group of children began clearing away the dishes.

Pharmacist Nonou sometimes falls asleep right on her desk in her office because she's too tired.

"Alright, you guys go back to sleep."

After tidying up, the plump nun called to the children.

The ninjas in the shack area have their own people to look after them, and there's not much the orphanage can do except help with odd jobs. After all, they're just a bunch of little kids.

The main treatment still relies on Yakushi Nonou.

Today, as soon as Yakushi Nonou's disciple arrived, he treated many people, greatly reducing the pressure on him.

"understood."

Kabuto Yakushi nodded.

Follow Urushi and a group of companions to their sleeping room.

"Urushi, did you hear any swallowing sound?"

The doctor's ears twitched slightly.

He has a great talent for chakra control; at the same age, the chakra he refines is much better than that of other children.

Therefore, his health was better than others, and he could vaguely hear some sounds coming out.

It's like a traveler who's unbearably hot on a hot summer day grabbing an ice pop to eat in order to cool off.

"Have it?"

Uruxi was taken aback.

"Hey, did you hear me?"

Uruxi asked the others.

"Sound? There's no sound."

"Dou, are you out of your mind from exhaustion?"

No one except Yakushi Kabuto heard anything.

Am I really just too tired?

Yakushi Kabuto thought to himself.

Chapter 229 Nonou's Confession: Please God Forgive My Sins (66k)

In the office.

He looked up and gazed into the distance. The blazing sun shone on the mountains, as if they were gilded with a layer of gold.

The power of the pupils is constantly increasing.

It's like a wide river, with new tributaries constantly flowing into it, increasing the water level.

In this state, Kiyoshi's thinking became more active.

Some questions that I hadn't been able to figure out before have now become clear.

"Is the progress 99% complete?"

Qingsi closed the entry panel.

Tonight, we might be able to get the Fire Release Jonin entry to 100%.

Other basic entries, such as Swordsmanship Jonin, Wind Release Jonin, Earth Release Jonin, etc., all have progress bars exceeding 70%.

Kiyoshi categorized the entries obtained through professions as "basic" and those obtained by triggering certain events as "special".

Thinking of this, Kiyoshi looked down at Yakushi Nonou.

Nonou's long, golden hair, cascading down her back from beneath her nun's cap, was smooth and silky.

Kiyoshi couldn't help but stroke her hair a couple more times, his fingertips twirling around it.

……

Soon, Kabuto returned to his room and fell asleep.

He dreamt that Yakushi Nonou smiled at him, and that the children in the orphanage had a bright future.

Only the ever-present feeling of swallowing kept him uneasy.

Unable to bear it any longer, Kabuto woke up from his afternoon nap and looked up at the clock.

Click.

It happened to point exactly to 1:30 PM.

Kabuto glanced at the sleeping giant, tiptoed out of bed, and gently opened and closed the door.

"The sound was clearly coming from the second-floor office."

Yakushi Kabuto's astute deduction of this point suggests he was born with the potential to be a spy.

He carefully made his way forward, step by step, across the stairs, and finally reached the second floor.

At the end of the corridor is where Yakushi Nonou is located.

As he listened to the increasingly distinct sounds of eating and swallowing, a thought flashed through Yakushi Kabuto's mind.

"What is the dean secretly eating?"

But Yakushi Nonou isn't the kind of person who would secretly hide food to eat.

The pharmacist was completely baffled.

If you have doubts, you have to find solutions.

He walked over step by step.

Raise your hand gently.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, Kabuto felt inexplicably uneasy.

He put his hand down.

It was placed on the cold doorknob.

Kabuto felt the warmth firsthand.

He planned to go straight in and see what the dean was doing.

Click...

As he pressed down, someone suddenly touched his shoulder.

Yakushi Kabuto was startled and looked up to see the stern face of the fat nun.

"The dean might be resting. Why would you disturb him?"

"Ah, no, it's me..."

Caught off guard, Kabuto didn't know how to explain.

Click...

Kabuto released his hand from the doorknob and gestured in front of his chest, as if to say that he did not mean to disturb the director's rest.

Unfortunately, the fat nun bent down and stared at Yakushi Kabuto with a disbelieving look.

On the very first night that he was taken in, the child broke the rules.

At nine o'clock, when it's time to sleep, he's still not asleep and is running around everywhere.

“It’s nap time now. The dean gave you her glasses, and you can tell time, so why are you breaking the rules?”

"I didn't mean to break the rules... I just drank too much water this morning and needed to use the restroom."

In a flash, Kabuto Yakushi came up with a lame excuse.

He couldn't very well say that he felt uneasy and came to check on things, using such a vague and unfounded reason to dismiss the fat nun.

That would be seen as being perfunctory...

"Hmph, considering how hard you've been working for the orphanage lately, this won't happen again."

The plump nun spoke softly.

I was afraid that my argument with the pharmacist would disturb the dean's rest.

Moreover, she had witnessed the children at the orphanage helping with chores recently, and she had seen Kabuto Yakushi perform medical ninjutsu on some ninjas.

"Thank you...thank you."

Yakushi Kabuto breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said he would go back right away.

Before leaving, he glanced back at the tightly closed door.

What's behind the door?

…………

Click...

The door, which had been closed for a long time, made a scraping sound as it was being opened.

Kiyoshi and Yakushi Nono walked down from the second floor side by side.

"The children are all working very hard."

Kiyoshi looked at the children after their afternoon nap. Not one of them was lazy; they all immediately went to do what they could.

"Yes...yes."

Yakushi Nonou nodded deeply, feeling deeply moved.

However, he couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly when he spoke.

This is due to both the children's guilt about doing these things and the soreness from over-chewing food.

Looking at Kiyoshi, who was taller than her, her emotions were not relieved; instead, she felt even more guilty and regretful.

God, I hope this child won't get into this mess.

At this moment, Yakushi Nonou prayed fervently to the gods, hoping that they would forgive her sins.

"Dean!"

The listless Kabuto finally saw Nono Yakushi and couldn't help but shout out.

"Hey, hey, you're already this anxious after only a short time away from the dean? You're not a child anymore."

Urushi patted Yakushi Kabuto on the shoulder with an air of superiority.
