Inevitably, this involved infiltration and infiltration by ninjas from enemy countries.

Konoha does the same, sending ninjas to infiltrate other countries.

After a quick resupply, the group headed toward the orphanage.

…………

The shantytown below the orphanage.

The simple tent stood silently on the dark earth, with cries of agony rising and falling from within.

Every half meter, a faded square sheet was casually spread out, on which lay ninjas injured to varying degrees, densely occupying the entire space.

A casual glance revealed a dense mass of them lying on the ground.

hum...

Inside the tent, faint green light flickered intermittently, a testament to the use of medical ninjutsu.

As Orochimaru looked at the child who had healed him, a thought came to mind.

Orochimaru, who prides himself on being a genius, also felt somewhat overshadowed by that genius's brilliance.

Uchiha Kiyoshi!

It's hard to imagine what he will achieve in the future.

"Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."

Kabuto looked up and said.

"This amount of time is within a reasonable range."

Orochimaru's voice was hoarse.

His voice has a naturally husky, magnetic quality.

"Dou, can you still hold on?"

Seeing that Kabuto's face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat, Yakushi Nonou couldn't help but feel a little worried in her voice, "Why don't you go and rest for a while?"

"It's alright, Dean!"

Kabuto immediately stood up straight, revealing a determined smile. "I can still go on!"

Seeing how hard the children were trying, Yakushi Nonou sighed.

She certainly didn't want these children to go out and do work.

The village is broke, the country is broke, and of course, her small orphanage is broke too.

So many orphans need food, drink, clothing, and education; we can't let them become illiterate.

These expenses add up to a significant monthly expenditure.

The money that Kiyoshi gave her had long been used up.

Prices, which had been stable recently, have started to rise.

The villagers all said that bandits were on the move, but Nonou could sense something unusual about it.

As the former top intelligence officer of the Root organization, she was very familiar with these methods.

Danzo Shimura.

Yakushi Nonou vaguely sensed that this man was behind it all; Shimura Danzo was just that kind of person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Konoha... is short-handed.

While Yakushi Nonou was pondering, Urushi couldn't help but complain to Yakushi Kabuto:

"We're so busy, yet we earn so little money."

He glanced around and saw that many of his companions were already panting heavily, but they were still gritting their teeth and continuing to perform surgery or move the wounded.

Those numerous ninjas, each with varying injuries, were like heavy hills pressing down on the children's shoulders.

"Even if it's for the orphanage's sake, this is too much..." he muttered under his breath.

"The dean said that if you want to gain something, you must give something in return. Even a penny or two is still money, and how much flour can you buy with that?"

Kabuto Yakushi quoted something that Nono Yakushi had said.

Uluxi could only nod.

He was just complaining; everyone saw how hard the dean worked for everyone.

I wish I could share more of the burden for the kind and gentle dean.

"Even someone who isn't a proper medical ninja can use ninjutsu like this..."

As he spoke, Orochimaru glanced at Yakushi Nonou, and seeing that her expression was normal, he continued:

"If you become a medical ninja, I think you will become a great ninja."

Kabuto smiled slightly, a hint of helplessness in his voice:

“I had no such intention. I just wanted to earn a little money for the orphanage and stay here to help the director. But the director has been so good to me, and I haven’t even been able to repay her with a decent gift.”

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's lips curled into a slight smile. He extended a tongue longer than usual, slowly licked his lips, and calmly said:

"Oh, I see... That's such a pity."

"What's there to regret?"

Yakushi Nonou asked Yakushi Kabuto to take care of the other enemies, while she personally treated Orochimaru.

A rich, bluish-green light appeared three centimeters above the wound on Orochimaru's arm.

"Heh heh, you, who's known as the 'Walking Shrine Maiden,' are actually taking care of these children."

Orochimaru spoke with a hint of wistfulness.

"Lord Orochimaru, I think children are quite nice."

Qing Si's voice came from the tent entrance.

"Kyoji-kun..."

Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly.

When did Kiyoshi arrive here? Why didn't he notice anything?

Is the "immortal technique" subtly enhancing Kiyoshi's strength?

Or is it caused by something else?

"Seiji?"

Another surprised voice rang out.

Yakushi Nonou looked at Kiyoshi, who hadn't been there for a long time, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

Then he recalled his fruitless discussion with Kiyoshi last time.

Ultimately, she failed to correct the child's behavior, leading Kiyoshi to develop distorted feelings towards her.

this is not right.

Yakushi Nonou sighed inwardly.

"Nonou-sensei, I'm here again."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

The long-unseen Yakushi Nonou not only showed no signs of aging, but her compassionate and saintly aura had become even stronger.

This must be the result of being influenced by his long-term role as the director of an orphanage.

"There are many wounded here."

Kurenai's little head peeked out from Kiyoshi's side and came in through the curtain.

"Lord Orochimaru, you're here too."

Because of the master-disciple relationship between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru, Asuma Sarutobi was no stranger to Orochimaru.

Or rather, he was familiar with the legendary Sannin, who were incredibly mysterious to others.

"We are the ones who are here this time..."

Uchiha Yakumi came in and explained to Orochimaru the purpose of their visit.

Behind him were various ninjas: Uchiha clan, Hyuga clan, and commoner ninjas...

Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, is in charge of a unit that was the very unit that Yakushi Nonou was treating.

"Hehe, I see. You can just set up another shed area next to it."

Orochimaru spoke.

Uchiha Yakumi immediately led a group of people out to arrange for ninjas to set up temporary tents nearby.

With Orochimaru's troops looking out for each other, this place will be much safer.

One by one, a bunch of the people who came with him left, but Kiyoshi stayed behind.

"Nonou-sensei, let me help you."

He moved closer to Yakushi Nonou.

Chapter 228 Nonou's Education of Kiyoshi (6k)

A pale green light flashed, instantly accelerating the healing of the wound.

"it is good."

Seeing this, Yakushi Nonou nodded slightly.

It's been a long time since we last met. Kiyoshi's medical ninjutsu must have improved a lot.

As expected, Kiyoshi's medical ninjutsu was incredibly skillful, and in no time at all, he healed Orochimaru's hands.

"In that case, I'll head out now."

Orochimaru pulled down his sleeves to cover his arms.

Before leaving, he turned back and said one more thing:

"Danzo has arrived as well."

Having said that, Orochimaru lifted the curtain and went out.

"Danzo?"

Kurenai Yuhi was unfamiliar with this name.

"He is a high-ranking official in Konoha."

Seeing the goddess's confusion, Sarutobi Asuma immediately explained, wanting to show off his extensive knowledge.

The Anbu are mysterious to most ninjas, but the Root is even more mysterious.

They are responsible for things that are more underground and dark, so it's not appropriate for them to be widely publicized.

"..."

Yakushi Nono's eyes flickered slightly behind her glasses.

The arrival of Shimura Danzo suggests that her earlier guess was very likely correct.

"Kiyoshi, could you please look after these wounded children for me? They don't know much about the world."

Yakushi Nono said.

Due to limited resources at the orphanage, these children naturally couldn't undergo any proper ninja training.

The fact that so many children were able to be selected who could use even the most basic medical ninjutsu is the result of these children working harder than ordinary people in private.

"it is good."

Qingsi nodded.

Danzo Shimura came here simply to put pressure on Nono, the pharmacist, so she could go back and continue her work.

Yakushi Nonou hurriedly left.
