There are poor people everywhere, and Konoha is no exception. Here even Might Duy asks others to borrow money, let alone an orphan who is no one to rely on.

A few ordinary dishes and rice, just like this, Nono tasted a big meal.

Kushina didn't speak, and silently placed her meal in front of Nono, looking at her throat trembling constantly.

"Don't I remember that Konoha has an orphan relief fund? Why is she looking like a starving ghost?" Nawaki asked quietly while leaning against Uchiha Tatsumi's ear.

"Nawaki, do you know how many orphans there are in the village? Konoha has a relief fund, but the audience for this relief is those war orphans and some ninja descendants.

Orphan in Hidden Leaf Village is not enough, let alone an Outsider like Nono. So the money she can get is actually very small, I guess she can barely starve to die."

Nawaki listen After all, even Konoha is like this, he can't imagine how miserable the world outside is.

A few people looked like Nono strong wind scattering the last clouds and swept like this. She swallowed four or five bowls of rice in a few minutes, and then she felt like gazed Kushina: "One more bowl."

Uchiha Tatsumi almost fell over after hearing this, so she can't give her any more. If you eat it, it hurts your stomach.

Kushina knew this too, so she quickly brought a bowl of noodle soup to her to digest. Nono poured half a bowl of noodle soup, and then he covered his belly contentedly.

"It's so delicious, I'm barely full."

Kushina's mouth reached the back of her head when she heard this. This is the first time anyone has praised her. The food is delicious.

She glanced at the hateful crow proudly and dared to spit out her food. It was the first one!

"Nono, where is the Aunt who brought you to Konoha, she didn't take care of you?"

Uchiha Tatsumi asked while stroking the shivering crow.

"...She is dead."

Uchiha Tatsumi and Nawaki glance at each other: That kimono woman is dead? !

"About half a year ago, Qianye took me to Konoha. Then she took a mission. She said that as long as the mission is completed, she won't have to go out again.

Not long afterwards, a ninja wearing a mask found me and said Qianye was dead."

Nono's voice was extremely calm, as if to say something insignificant. But the calmer you are, the more you can feel the sadness in the girl's words.

After listening, several people were silent.

Kushina took Nono's hand and asked, "Then what are you doing now?"

"Qianye signed up for me at the Academy before he died. I am now attending the Academy. . She said that girl must be able to protect herself."

"Can you help her?" Kushina gazed Uchiha Tatsumi with a gloomy look.

Nono's experience made her feel sympathetic. As an orphan who is also from outside the village, she knows this kind of loneliness.

Uchiha Tatsumi muttered for a while, and said: "I have a very good recommendation. Dai Uncle told me a few times that there is not enough staff. If you want, you can go to the weapon shop to help in your spare time. You can definitely feed yourself."

Nono thank you nodded after listening. She really needs a job to support herself. As for why this youngster helped herself, she can only attribute it to the kindness of the other side.

"Really very good." Kushina stood up excitedly, and then touched the crow's head.

"Then let's go, Nono. Go to my room, I found some clothes for you, you wear this too little."

Kushina pulled Nono excitedly moved towards ran away outside.

After the two ran out, the smile on Uchiha Tatsumi's face slowly faded.

"Tatsumi, the woman is dead, do you want to tell Orochimaru Teacher."

"No, Teacher, he should have understood."

"Okay Well. Didn't expect to die like this." Nawaki said emotionally. "That woman lurks in the small town and runs a hotel. It seems that it is either Anbu or Root's ninja."

Uchiha Tatsumi nodded. In fact, he prefers Root. Nono has been active as a spy of Root in original work.

An orphan of unknown origin like her, if there is no Root ninja guarantee, it is impossible to be absorbed in.

Nawaki stood up and stretched out, took out a game of shogi from the cabinet, "Would you like to have one."

"Okay."

After spreading out the chess game, Nawaki hesitated for a while and asked, "Tatsumi, I have never understood. First, I helped an Eternal Genin, and now I am an orphan. With this development, do you want to do an orphanage in the future? Huh? Can your weapon shop still make money?"

Uchiha Tatsumi took the flying car a step forward and said, "It doesn't matter whether you make money or not. Anyway, it's just a ticket. To make money, I value their potential more."

"You said...they have potential?" Nawaki was taken aback, "Why didn't I see it. An Eternal Genin plus an orphan, where What potential is there?"

Uchiha Tatsumi smiled without saying a word. No one knows their potential better than him. One is to kill four of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist by the strength of oneself, and the other is Root's renowned "Walking Priestess".

Be aware that after Tsunade left, Nono grew up to become the Medic Corps of Konoha.

In his view, the Minister of Health is like a silver general on the chessboard. Although he is not protected by the Royal General like a gold general, it is also extremely important.

Especially after Tsunade's reforms, the medical department's voice has become more important.

So it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with Nono, who may become the next minister.

Everyone knows that a pair of twenty in shogi will undoubtedly be defeated. Therefore, these chess pieces must be firmly guarded by Royal General as much as possible.

As a sharp weapon in Hokage's hands, Anbu represents an important golden general. The personal relationship between Anbu Commander Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Tatsumi is even better.

In the future Hokage elections, he will not say that he fully supports it, at least he will not vote against it.

And the Konoha high-level consultant represents another golden general. Three high-level Gu Zhong, Utatane Koharu has a good impression of him because of the mirror. This shows that there are gaps in the enemy.

Nara Clan, another silver general, is Hokage's most important think tank. And he fought side by side with Nara Shikaku on the Land-of-Rain battlefield. This kind of friendship is not understandable by an average person.

So unconsciously, Uchiha Tatsumi's has accumulated a lot of power. These are all seeds. Once it takes root, no one can stop it, not even Third Hokage.

Because this is the trend!

Thinking so, Uchiha Tatsumi secretly frowned, "So, is there still a root?"
