There are poor people everywhere, even the most prosperous Konoha is no exception. Here even Matt Dai had to ask others to borrow money, let alone a helpless orphan.
A few ordinary dishes of side dishes and rice tasted like a big meal when Nonoyu ate them.
Kushina didn't say anything, and silently placed her rice in front of Nonoyu, watching her throat keep swelling.
"I remember, doesn't Konoha have an orphan relief fund? Why does she look like she was reincarnated as a starving ghost?" Naoki asked in a low voice next to Uchiha Tatsu's ear.
"Nasaki, do you know how many orphans there are in the village? It is true that Konoha has relief funds, but the recipients of this relief are war orphans and some descendants of ninjas.
The orphans in Konoha Village alone are not enough, let alone outsiders like Nonoyu. Therefore, the money she can get is actually very little, and she can barely survive starvation. "
Naoki couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. Even Konoha was like this. He couldn't imagine how miserable the outside world was.
Several people just watched Nonoyu sweep away like a wind and a lingering cloud. She swallowed four or five bowls of rice in a few minutes, and then looked at Kushina with the bowl still unfinished: "One more bowl."
Uchiha Tatsu almost fell down when he heard this, but he couldn't feed her any more, it would be a tragedy if it hurt his stomach.
Kushina also knew this, so she quickly brought a bowl of noodle soup for her to eat. Nonoyu drank half a bowl of noodle soup, and then he covered his stomach with satisfaction.
"It's so delicious. I'm almost half full."
Hearing these words, Kushina grinned to the back of her head. This was the first time someone praised her delicious food.
She glanced proudly at that hateful crow, it was the first one who dared to spit out her food!
"Nanoyu, where is the aunt who brought you to Konoha? She didn't take care of you?"
Uchiha Tatsu asked while stroking the shivering crow.
"...she's dead."
Uchiha Tatsumi and Naoki looked at each other: Is that kimono woman dead? !
"About half a year ago, Qianye took me to Konoha. Then she took on a mission. She said that as long as she completes this mission, she doesn't have to go out again.
Not long afterward, a masked ninja found me and said that Qianye was dead. "
Nonoyu's extremely calm voice seemed to be saying something insignificant. But the calmer he is, the more he can feel the sadness in the girl's words.
Several people were silent after listening.
Kushina took Nonou's hand and asked: "Then what are you doing now?"
"Qianye signed me up for ninja school before she died, and I'm in school now. She said girls should be able to protect themselves."
"Can you help her?" Kushina looked at Uchiha Chen eagerly.
Nonoyu's experience made her feel sympathetic. As an orphan from outside the village, she understood this feeling of loneliness very well.
After Uchiha pondered for a moment, he said: "I have a very good recommendation. Uncle Dai told me several times that we are short of manpower. If you are willing, you can go to the weapon shop to help in your spare time. The salary can definitely support yourself." "
Nonoyu nodded gratefully after hearing this. She really needs a job to support herself. As for why this young man helped her, she could only attribute it to his kindness.
"That's great." Kushina stood up excitedly and then touched the crow's dog head.
"Then let's go, Nonoyu. Go to my room. I found some clothes for you. You have too little to wear."
Kushina pulled Nonoyu and ran outside happily.
After the two ran out, the smile on Uchiha Tatsumi's face slowly faded.
"Chen, that woman is dead, do you want to tell Mr. Orochimaru?"
"No, teacher, he should have known about it a long time ago."
"Okay. I didn't expect to die like this." Shen Shu said with emotion. "That woman is lurking in the town and running a hotel. It seems that she is either an Anbu or a ninja from the root."
Uchiha Tatsumi nodded. In fact, he leans more towards the roots. Noonoyu acted as a spy for Root in the original work.
An orphan like her with unknown origins would have been impossible to be absorbed without the guarantee of a ninja at the core.
Naoki stood up, stretched out, and took out a shogi set from the cabinet, "Would you like a game?"
"OK."
After laying out the chess game, Naoki hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Chen, I never quite understand. First I helped a ten thousand year genin, and now I'm an orphan. If things continue like this, are you going to open an orphanage in the future? ? Can your weapons shop still make money?"
Uchiha Tatsumi took the flying car one step forward and said: "It doesn't matter whether they make money or not. It's just for fun anyway. I value their potential more than making money."
"You said... they have potential?" Naoki was stunned, "Why didn't I see it? How can a ten thousand year genin and an orphan have any potential?"
Uchiha Tatsumi smiled and said nothing. No one understands the potential of both men better than he does. One is the one who killed four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen by himself, and the other is the famous "Walking Miko" in the root.
You must know that after Tsunade left, Nonoyu grew up to be the captain of Konoha's medical force.
In his opinion, the medical minister is like the silver general on the chessboard. Although he does not protect the king like the gold general, he is still extremely important.
Especially after Tsunade carried out reforms, the medical department had more say.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with Nonou, a guy who may become the next minister.
Everyone knows that in shogi, one against twenty is bound to lose, so we must try our best to keep these chess pieces firmly by the king's side.
As the sharp weapon in the hands of the Hokage, Anbu represents an important golden general. And the personal relationship between ANBU Minister Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Tatsuya is even better.
In the future, when it comes to Hokage's election, he will not say that he fully supports it, but at least he will not vote against it.
The senior advisor of Konoha represents another golden general. Among the three senior Gu, Xiaochun had a crush on him because of the mirror. This shows that there is already a gap inside the enemy.
As another silver general, the Nara clan is the most important think tank of Naruto. And he fought side by side with Nara Shikaku on the battlefield of the Land of Rain. This kind of comradeship was not understandable to ordinary people.
So unknowingly, Uchiha Tatsumi has accumulated a lot of power. These are all seeds. Once it takes root, no one can stop it, not even the Third Hokage.
Because this is the general trend!
Thinking this, Uchiha Tatsumi secretly frowned, "So, is there another root?"
