In the orphanage, every child actually regarded Yakushi Nonou as their adoptive mother and the person they respected the most.

However, everyone is patient and expresses their love through their actions of contributing to the orphanage.

After all, to be able to come here, one must either have been abandoned by their parents or have lost their parents and are left to wander outside.

Without Yakushi Nonou, they would have died outside long ago.

In small countries that don't even have orphanages, people starve to death every day.

Small countries are in a state of chaos, lacking both the funds to operate orphanages and stable locations to allocate to them.

"It seems the children really like the director."

Qingsi smiled.

"They are all lovely children."

Yakushi Nonou agrees with this point.

But there was one more thing she didn't say.

Little Seiji used to be just as adorable, but unfortunately, due to her negligence, the current distortion has occurred.

"It's getting late, we should go."

Kiyoshi glanced at the sky.

We arrived at the orphanage this morning, and now it's afternoon; it's time to continue our march.

The necessary supplies were replenished in the town in a timely manner.

"If anything happens at the orphanage, please let me know immediately, and I will do my best to help."

Qingsi spoke.

Danzo Shimura doesn't dare to cause trouble openly right now, so he can only resort to underhanded tactics behind the scenes.

To put it bluntly, the core group is just a bunch of lowlifes.

Just like Danzo Shimura.

During the Nine-Tails' rampage, no one from Root could be found.

When Pain attacked, no one from Root could be found.

When one of his subordinates wanted to leave, Danzo Shimura leisurely said no.

When are you most proactive?

Only on the night of the massacre did Danzo Shimura lead the Root to immediately seal off the Uchiha clan.

They also took the opportunity to collect a large number of Sharingan eyes.

It's impossible to transplant so many Sharingan eyes onto an arm in one go.

This requires numerous experiments and consumes a large amount of Sharingan material.

Hearing Kiyoshi's sincere words, Yakushi Nonou sighed deeply.

"I will."

Yakushi Nono nodded.

In this way, she wouldn't have to deal with Danzo Shimura, and could better lead these children.

Based on her understanding of Shimura Danzo's character, she knew that even if she went, the orphanage wouldn't fare well, and her own fate would be uncertain as well.

Sometimes, no matter how much you've sacrificed for the village, if you possess a large amount of crucial intelligence, you're already on the verge of death.

Kiyoshi nodded, then walked toward the Uchiha Medicine Scent.

Yakumi agreed with Kiyoshi's suggestion; they had indeed had enough time to rest.

A ninja is someone who endures hardship. If someone can't even bear this much suffering, then they are definitely a coward.

"You take Hyuga Nobuhiko with you."

Uchiha Yakumi spoke to several Hyuga clan members.

Not long after, Hyuga Nobuhiko was carried out again, but this time the person carrying him was Hyuga Tetsuya.

After everyone had arrived, the group prepared to set off.

"let's go."

Uchiha Yakumi gave the order.

"Kiyoshi, remember to eat more and sleep more..."

Perhaps because she spends so much time with children, Yakushi Nonou has become quite talkative.

She explained many things to Qing Si.

"I understand, Ms. Nonou."

Seiji smiled.

Watching Kiyoshi and his group leave, Yakushi Nonou still held the scroll Kiyoshi had given her.

My mouth... hurts again.

This weight is something she finds hard to let go of.

The current situation is far from stable, so this money must be used wisely.

This is for the orphanage, and also for Kiyoshi, who works hard to earn money.

…………

Several days passed.

Kiyoshi finally returned to Konoha, which he had been away from for so long.

The atmosphere on the streets of Konoha remained bustling.

That's because wealthy merchants would occasionally come to Konoha to stay for their own safety.

They also boosted Konoha's economy, allowing the villagers to earn a lot more money.

Only families with relatives who are ninjas will be filled with worry.

"You have worked hard."

After the routine coordination was completed, only Hiruzen Sarutobi was left in his office in the Hokage Building.

Before long, high-ranking officials of Konoha, including Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado, arrived one after another.

This incident is also a major event for Konoha.

Just like Kushina Uzumaki back then, this almost led to the outflow of bloodline.

The good news is that the Hyuga bloodline has been preserved, and the enemy's surprise attack did not expect them to actually be able to steal Hyuga Nobuhiko's eyes. Furthermore, none of the summoning ninjas there are capable of reverse summoning.

The bad news is that two Byakugan have leaked out, which will inevitably lead to the emergence of two very powerful reconnaissance ninjas.

The Byakugan's abilities are only transplanted by Kirigakure to already excellent ninjas, allowing them to form powerful alliances.

"What a troubled time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

In the battle at Kannabi Bridge, they finally gained the upper hand in the war against the Land of Earth.

Konoha was also able to take a deep breath and recuperate.

This incident happened again recently. Although it was a close call, what else might happen in the future?

The village established by the First Hokage has only been around for a few decades; it absolutely cannot perish in the generation of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Otherwise, he would be a sinner for all time, and even if he went to the Pure Land, he would have no face to see the First Hokage and Tobirama-sensei.

"Hmph, Uchiha Kiyoshi is getting more and more disobedient."

"I said in a cold tone," Shimura Danzo said.

He had just agreed to Yakushi Nonou's suggestion to consider it for a few days when, on his way back, he heard his subordinates' latest report.

Yakushi Nonou rejected him!

why?

Because that kid Uchiha Kiyoshi somehow produced a huge sum of money and donated it to the orphanage!

Originally, Shimura Danzo wanted to make a fuss about this, but Uchiha Kiyoshi, a newly promoted Jonin, couldn't possibly have that much money.

An investigation revealed that the guy had some connection with the Daimyo of the Land of Demons, the Shrine Maiden.

It seemed that only Kiyoshi could cure Daimyo's symptoms, so he gave him a lot of money.

This made it difficult for Danzo Shimura to make a move, since he wasn't the real Hokage yet.

If anything goes wrong, Hiruzen Sarutobi will definitely hold him accountable.

The current Konoha still needs funding from the Daimyo, and rashly doing anything to another Daimyo would arouse the sensitivity of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

There are connections between the powerful figures. In the end, no matter how fierce the fighting is, the powerful figures will always remain in power and will not be shaken in the slightest.

Even if a country is destroyed and one can no longer be a daimyo, one can still attach oneself to another daimyo and become a new noble.

This kind of game has been played countless times in the ninja world over the past thousand years, and other daimyo have also tacitly accepted this rule.

Because this is a way out.

Therefore, it is rare for a famous person to go to extremes.

"Hiruzen, Uchiha Kiyoshi's strength is indeed showing signs of slipping out of our control."

Mitokado pushed up her glasses.

Beneath his glasses were a glint of caution in his eyes.

“That’s right, Yan is right. Uchiha Kiyoshi is indeed too dazzling.”

Xiaochun, who was turning over to her room, spoke up.

What they wanted was an obedient Uchiha, not an overly powerful one.

If Uchiha Kiyoshi is too strong, he could become another Uchiha Madara if he's not careful.

It's important to know that after Madara Uchiha left Konoha, he even planned to bring the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha.

That time, Hashirama Senju intervened; what will they have this time?

Even though Konoha has many rising stars, such as Minato Namikaze and Kakashi.

However... once the Uchiha enters another realm, they will obtain the power of "Susanoo" and possess two incredibly mysterious eye techniques.

Not only that, but it also possesses the terrifying secret technique "Izanagi".

"Izanagi" was a ninjutsu that caused quite a few problems within the Uchiha clan before it was resolved and sealed away.

This is one of the reasons why the Uchiha clan is so feared.

Every Uchiha who awakens their Sharingan has the potential to have two minutes of invincibility. Who wouldn't be afraid of that?

As for the difficulty, no one dares to gamble on how many Uchiha members can learn it.

The office fell silent.

The only sound was Hiruzen Sarutobi puffing on his cigarette.

Whenever Hiruzen Sarutobi falls into deep thought, he likes to smoke, using nicotine to numb himself and bring forth new ideas.

He was also the Hokage of all time who loved smoking the most.

"The situation is unclear right now. If the Uchiha clan is stronger, it will be good for the village."

After a long pause, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke.

The war isn't even over yet, and people are already thinking about what the consequences would be if their allies were too strong.

First, Konoha has to live to that time.

Without the power of Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, to quell the chaos of the Warring States period, none of the Five Great Nations dared to claim victory or face the threat of national annihilation.

"Hmph, Hiruzen, one day you'll regret your optimism."

Danzo Shimura was furious that Kiyoshi Uchiha had ruined his plans.
