Ninja World: I'm really a support-type ninja

Because everyone is involved, this happiness survey is highly credible and very helpful for Minato Namikaze and others to adjust their policies.

As the saying goes, good steel should be used where it's needed most. Now that Konoha has money and detailed data, it's natural to focus on improving areas where there are shortcomings.

For this reason, the orphanage founded by Yakushi Nonou became a key target for support within Konoha Village.

Of course, while providing support is important, simply taking in money without spending it will result in a deficit for Konoha's finances.

Therefore, when some of the children in the orphanage grow up and become capable, it becomes a natural thing for them to go out and earn money to give back to the orphanage.

Yakushi Nonou naturally understood these things as well.

As the director of the orphanage, she was ostensibly a medical jonin of Konoha, but secretly she was also Root's top spy.

This kind of woman must be exceptional in character, skill, and ability.

Although Yakushi Nonou did not want these people who had become orphans because of the war to continue to go to the battlefield, she did not refuse to let them become ninjas.

Of course, this only applies to the medical ninja category.

This would not only allow these war orphans to earn a living when they grow up, but it would also be of great help to Konoha, which would be worthy of Konoha's strong support policy for orphanages.

This normal and perfect cycle is the main reason why the orphanage has reached its current size.

As for Kabuto Yakushi, he naturally came to work at Konoha Hospital because he had reached a certain age. While earning money to support himself, he also gave back to the orphanage that had taken him in.

Kabuto Yakushi has a high talent for medical ninjutsu, and with the dedicated guidance of Jonin Yakushi Nonou, his growth rate is very fast.

During his time working at Konoha Hospital, Kabuto Yakushi quickly caught the attention of Konoha's upper echelons due to his talent and medical ninjutsu skills.

This includes Orochimaru, who greatly admires Kabuto's abilities and, after briefly examining Kabuto's character, feels that he is more to his liking.

By a twist of fate, Kabuto Yakushi became Orochimaru's assistant. In addition to continuing his research into medical ninjutsu, learning some scientific research methods from Orochimaru became Kabuto Yakushi's second skill.

Besides the two points mentioned above, Orochimaru was also very satisfied with Kabuto in other aspects as well.

In short, besides being Orochimaru's capable assistant in scientific research, Kabuto also became Orochimaru's personal secretary in daily life.

It can be said that with Kabuto Yakushi by his side, Orochimaru was finally able to focus on his research without having to spend too much energy on trivial matters in his daily life.

Therefore, Orochimaru became increasingly satisfied with Kabuto Yakushi, and taught him more and more, including many confidential matters.

However, neither Tsunade nor Jiraiya were familiar with Kabuto Yakushi, and after the three met, their curiosity about Kabuto was immediately suppressed.

"Orochimaru, we've been in Konoha for most of the day, why haven't you come looking for us?"

Tsunade immediately punched Orochimaru in the chest, showing no respect whatsoever.

Because of Akira Hatake's involvement, Orochimaru did not defect from Konoha, and had a more legitimate reason to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi. Therefore, the relationship between the three legendary Sannin of Konoha is still the same as before, and their feelings for each other are very deep.

"Ha, I didn't need to look for you, you came over anyway, didn't I?"

Orochimaru smiled, and Kabuto could tell that the smile on Orochimaru's face was a genuine smile, completely opposite to his usual cold and ruthless smile.

This made Kabuto, who was standing to the side, envious, and he couldn't help but glance at Jiraiya and Tsunade a few more times.

How he wished Orochimaru could smile at him like that even once...

"You're still as passive as ever."

Jiraiya didn't notice Kabuto's envious gaze and stepped forward to hug Orochimaru.

"You're the same as before, you become a completely different person when you stand in front of Tsunade."

Orochimaru smiled as he looked at Jiraiya, and immediately delivered a critical hit to him.

"Orochimaru, what are you saying!"

Jiraiya couldn't help but blush, frantically giving Orochimaru meaningful glances, "Don't talk nonsense, I, Jiraiya, am known as the Hero of Konoha, and I've always been like this."

"Heh, those who know, know."

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya with a smile, "Do you think I don't know what you're like normally?"

"The intimacy you gave me last time..."

Before Orochimaru could finish revealing his shortcomings, Jiraiya reached out and covered his mouth, his eyes flashing frantically, even with a hint of pleading in them.

If Jiraiya were alone with Orochimaru, he could ignore everything else and absolutely shut Orochimaru down.

But things are different now. With Tsunade by his side, Jiraiya can't let loose so easily. Instead, he is suppressed by Orochimaru at every turn.

What are you two talking about?!

Tsunade glared at the two of them. "You two have always been so secretive together since you were little. How come you're still as childish as before, even though you're all grown up?"

With Tsunade involved, Jiraiya and Orochimaru naturally wouldn't delve deeper into this topic.

"Cough cough."

Jiraiya coughed lightly. "Orochimaru, it's been a long time since the three of us have seen each other, and it's also been a long time since we've gotten together. How about we drink until we drop tonight?"

"Then you'll definitely be the first one to leave."

"Ha, Orochimaru, don't you know exactly how much alcohol I, Jiraiya the Gallant, can handle?"

Faced with Orochimaru's provocation, Jiraiya immediately issued a challenge: "If you get drunk in front of me today, you must promise to do one thing for me in the future."

"What if you get drunk in front of me?" Orochimaru asked with a smile.

"I can't possibly get drunk before you!"

"A bet is only a bet if there are winners and losers. If you get drunk before me, how about you promise to do something for me?"

"Okay, it's settled!"

Seeing that the two had made a verbal bet, the gambling factor hidden in Tsunade's genes began to boil.

"Then I'll take a bet with you!"

Tsunade patted her chest confidently, while Jiraiya couldn't help but stare in disbelief.

However, Orochimaru remained very calm. He appreciated Tsunade's gambling skills, but he avoided her gambling luck like the plague.

He had suffered from Tsunade's strange gambling luck before, and more than once.

Therefore, Orochimaru always avoids gambling games involving Tsunade and never gets involved.

"Tsunade, please don't get involved."

Orochimaru only felt normal camaraderie and close friendship towards Tsunade, but not romantic feelings for her.

So the rejection was so decisive that it made Tsunade, who was still interested, twitch her eyelids twitch.

Not only that, Tsunade's appearance became visibly worse, almost as if her unhappiness was written all over her face.

Seeing this, Jiraiya quickly stepped in to ease the tension between the two, "Ignore Orochimaru, how about you make a bet with me?"

"You? You don't gamble!"

Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya, decisively refused, and turned to leave.

Jiraiya glared at Orochimaru and then chased after him, while Orochimaru shook his head and prepared to follow.

"Dou, take good care of things at the base, especially the boy I recently brought back. Please take good care of him for me as well."

"Don't worry, Lord Orochimaru, I won't make any mistakes."

"I don't have to worry about you doing anything."

With a smile, Orochimaru responded to Kabuto, then turned and left, quickly catching up with the two who were walking further and further away.

The three legendary Sannin of Konoha reunited, and naturally, they had countless topics to discuss, chatting non-stop as they walked.

However, after the three left, Kabuto Yakushi felt lost and could only walk into a laboratory with little enthusiasm.

"Kimimaro, how have you been feeling lately?"

"very good."

Kimimaro was handsome, and despite his young age, he looked like a porcelain doll. His complexion was much better than when Orochimaru first brought him back.

However, because Kimimaro was imprisoned since childhood, he is now uninterested in anyone and only speaks a few words when Orochimaru is around.

Kabuto Yakushi was a steady and reliable person from a young age, and he was extremely good at reading people's expressions. He naturally noticed Kimimaro's estrangement from him.

However, he didn't care. He was just a 4-year-old kid. He couldn't be bothered to argue with him. As long as he completed the task assigned by Orochimaru, Kabuto didn't care about anything else.

Although Kabuto disliked Kimimaro for being too young, he wasn't much older; he was only 9 years old at the time.

It is said that orphans learn to be independent early. Without Danzo Shimura's interference, Kabuto Yakushi would now be a rising star in Konoha, a true genius in medical ninjutsu.

As Kabuto approached Kimimaro, his palm glowed with a luminous green light, and he pressed it against Kimimaro's chest without warning.

Kimimaro instinctively wanted to attack Kabuto, but just as he was about to make a move, his gaze met Kabuto's reflective glasses, and he immediately extinguished the desire to attack Kabuto.

After a moment, Kabuto withdrew his hand. "Very good, you've recovered very well."

Picking up the notebook beside him, Kabuto wrote and drew in it while constantly giving instructions to Kimimaro.

"You should be careful to use your bloodline limit ability less often. Lord Orochimaru said that this ability is a double-edged sword, and he has already found considerable hidden dangers in your blood."

"Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, you can live to adulthood if you cultivate your character and temperament properly, but if you don't listen to advice, no one can say for sure how long you will live."

"I would rather die in battle."

Kimimaro said coldly, seemingly expressing his dissatisfaction with this kind of life.

He still remembered what Orochimaru said to him when he brought him back, but his current life was completely different from the life of a tool he had expected.

It's not that I'm disheartened, just that I'm slightly dissatisfied.

"As expected of the Kaguya clan, known as battle maniacs, you will have that chance."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses. "Once Lord Orochimaru's experiments are complete, your wish will come true."

After saying that, Kabuto ignored Kimimaro and walked into another laboratory.

Another laboratory is located next to Kimimaro's residence, where Mizuki Haku of the Mizuki clan lives.

"Kabuto-sama."

Mizuki Haku's attitude towards Yakushi Kabuto was completely opposite to Kimimaro's; he was extremely respectful towards Yakushi Kabuto.

This is inseparable from Haku's personality, and it is precisely because of his personality that Kabuto Yakushi treats Haku much better than he treats Kimimaro.

"Bai, how have you been lately?"

"It's alright, just a bit idle..."
