Unless the mission is completed entirely by one person, the money must be split equally.

The amount is divided according to the number of people in the team.

In the past, she earned this money easily, but after leaving the ninja industry, Nono realized that she didn't know how to earn money through legitimate means.

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

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

Nono's expression softened as she went to Kiyoshi's room.

"Kiyoshi, are you free?"

As Kiyoshi was about to close the door, Nono blocked the doorway.

"Of course." Kiyoshi gestured for her to come in.

Click!

The door closed.

The two were alone inside.

The empty corridor was left with the caretaker and the plump nun looking at each other. They carefully picked up the scattered money on the floor and placed it in Nono's office.

This is also where various documents are stored.

"The director's disciple is really capable, so generous right off the bat." The plump nun exclaimed.

So young and so generous, he must be a powerful figure among the ninjas.

"Yes, that blonde female ninja beside him is also very kindhearted."

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

"Who knows?"

The voices of the two echoed in the corridor.

With this money coming in, the expressions of the two were noticeably better.

They both breathed a sigh of relief for Nono.

This way, Nono won't be so tired.

…

In the orphanage children's dormitory.

Kabuto looked at the peers around him, feeling wide awake. He lied listlessly on the bed, thinking about Nono.

Nono's face became more and more sacred in his heart.

"Kabuto… My name is Yakusho Kabuto."

Kabuto carefully remembered the precious thing Nono had given him.

This was everything he had, having lost his memory and being left with nothing.

Out of the blue, Kabuto felt a sudden urge to urinate. He looked at Urushi, whom he had met today, still fast asleep.

Not wanting to wake everyone up, he tiptoed out of bed. He needed to go to the toilet.

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

Originally, he wanted to walk straight past, but when he heard Nono's compassionate and gentle voice, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

…

"Kiyoshi…"

The lights were not on in the room.

Only the moonlight from outside filtered through the window screens and sprinkled on the floor, reflecting a patch of moonlight.

Kiyoshi's figure was hidden in the darkness.

Nono took a few steps, and the moonlight happened to shine on her face.

It shone a snow-white light, like the pure ice crystals of the snowy mountains.

"If Nono-sensei thinks it's not enough, I can take out more." Kiyoshi said eagerly.

He even made a gesture of rummaging through the pockets on his body.

"Silly child, it's not like that."

Nono was amused by Kiyoshi's actions.

After laughing, she felt heartache again. Her azure blue eyes gazed at Kiyoshi's dark eyes.

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

Nono could see Kiyoshi's excitement and… desire in them.

Excited by her gaze, anxious about being estranged, and even having one-sided emotional fantasies.

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

This was because she hadn't guided him properly.

Thinking of this, Nono felt a little guilty.

"Kiyoshi, the money you gave is more than enough, but you should also think about your own future. You are still a ninja, you still have to spend money to buy ninja tools, protective gear, scrolls…"

Nono rambled on about many things.

These are all necessities in war.

No ninja thinks they will surely live long enough.

Therefore, every ninja buys the best equipment they can afford. If the enemy buys it and you don't, you are inherently weaker.

"These are no big problems, under my Sharingan, everything is exposed!"

Kiyoshi behaved like a child who had received a beloved toy.

He eagerly showed off his power to Nono.

Looking at the tomoe on those scarlet eyes, Nono sighed again in her heart.

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

The Three-Tomoe Sharingan...

A lot of "pain" is hidden behind it that outsiders can't understand.

And the Two-Tomoe Sharingan in his right eye seemed to show Kiyoshi's uniqueness, he was likely to be discriminated against in the Uchiha clan.

Nono had only been to the Uchiha settlement once. Having left for a long time, she was not sure if her guess was correct.

But under Danzo's long-term subtle influence, Nono also had a filter on the Uchiha.

In her opinion, all Uchiha except Kiyoshi were inherently evil. The only difference was the degree of evil.

As he spoke, Kiyoshi got closer and closer to Nono.

Just as they were about to touch, Nono reached out and gently held Kiyoshi's shoulders, making him sit on the bed.

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

Nono paused and continued, "You are a young man in the prime of your life, and I am a retired woman who only plays the role of a director in this orphanage. Your future still has many wonderful sceneries, and you shouldn't stop here."
