Shenyue Xingyun keenly noticed the difference in this mission.
'Triggering task'.
This is the first time I've encountered a task like this.
Muttering to himself that the system always manages to come up with something new, Shingetsu Seiun looked at Yakushi Nono.
"I have time now."
Uchiha Itachi: "!??"
"Wh...what?" Yakushi Nonou was also surprised by the other party's answer.
Shenyue Xingyun: "I said, I have time right now."
He gave a kind smile, which made Yakushi Nonou blush slightly.
—It wasn't an act.
"Well...that's perfect, Jonin Nebula, come with me to take a look."
"Alright." Shingetsu Seiun looked down at Uchiha Itachi: "Itachi, you should go back now."
"I have something to do, let's hang out another time."
Uchiha Itachi suddenly felt that the three-colored dumplings in his hand were no longer appealing.
He glanced at Shenyue Xingyun, then at the slightly flushed blonde woman beside him, and his vigilance reached its peak.
"Brother Xingyun, when are you coming back?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "It's hard to say."
"Itachi, let's go back first."
Having no other choice, Uchiha Itachi reminded Shingetsu Seiun once again before leaving: "Brother Seiun, remember to come back early after you've finished watching."
"Mom is waiting for you."
"Remember to come over for dinner~"
"Understood." Shinzuki Seiun waved her hand, then looked at Yakushi Nonou: "Let's go."
"Oh...oh oh!" Yakushi Nonou replied in a flustered manner, "Nebula Jonin, come with me."
In the northwest corner of Konoha Village, there is a remote place far from the village center.
The land here is not valuable, and the village approved it for pharmacist Nono to run an orphanage.
Shingetsu Seiun followed Yakushi Nono to this place and saw that there were still quite a few orphans in the orphanage.
They ranged in age, some were physically healthy, and some had clearly suffered injuries.
“They are all orphans from the Land of Fire.” Yakushi Nonou looked at the children running in the distance and introduced them to Shinzuki Seiun in a soft voice: “They lost their families in the Third Shinobi World War, so I brought them here.”
Shen Yue Xingyun looked at the children's faces, which were mostly cheerful and full of life, and nodded, saying, "It seems they are doing well here with you."
Yakushi Nonou sighed, "I'm barely managing."
“The village is short of funds, and the support for the orphanage is only enough to keep it afloat. I have no choice but to work with the children to alleviate some of the financial burden.”
“That’s good,” Shenyue Xingyun said. “The principle of self-reliance is much more important than economic support.”
A fleeting hint of disdain and disappointment flashed in Yakushi Nonou's eyes, but before Shinzuki Seiun could notice, it transformed into a gentle smile.
"Hmm, I think what you said makes a lot of sense."
"That's how I taught them too."
No sooner had she finished speaking than, with a 'whoosh,' Shenyue Xingyun suddenly stretched out her hand in front of her.
Yakushi Nono's gaze immediately turned to astonishment.
money.
Lots and lots of money.
She didn't think she had ever seen so much money since the orphanage was founded.
With her gaze fixed on a stack of large-denomination bills, Yakushi Nono heard Shinzuki Seiun's voice.
"While we should strive for self-reliance, we must still ensure that we have basic food and nutrition."
"There's not much I can do to help, but this is just a small token of my appreciation."
Yakushi Nonou's pupils turned into coin symbols. The overwhelming surprise almost made her dizzy! Fortunately, her professionalism as a seasoned spy remained, and she quickly regained her senses, putting on an embarrassed look.
"This...this is not possible."
"No! There's too much!"
Chapter 276 Nono's Feelings
“Why not?” Shenyue Xingyun said, “Take it. Consider it a gift from my colleagues.”
There's some truth to what he said.
Because this money was the salary he had received from the secret service over this period of time.
Dark Division Captain.
In terms of rank, he surpasses many Jonin in the village, ranking only below the Hokage and a handful of advisors and elders. Nominally, he and the old man Danzo are on equal footing.
To be in a high position in the true sense.
In such a position, even if he doesn't deliberately seek to make money, he won't lack it.
Even though he had generously increased the bonus to the maximum for the secret service missions, the remaining amount he received as commission and salary was still a very considerable sum.
This is also why Kakashi Hatake gossiped about him behind his back.
Kakashi Hatake was the one working himself to the bone, but in the end, Shinzuki Seiun, who worked in the office, earned more than him.
Shenyue Xingyun had nowhere to spend this money.
There are only a few people in my family.
He didn't cultivate his own power base. Danzo needed to maintain an army, but he didn't.
His cultivation... mainly relies on the system and his own hard work, and has little to do with resources.
After counting and counting, apart from food, clothing, housing, and transportation, there really isn't much else to spend money on.
As for giving your girlfriend a gift... what kind of gift?
It's all his girlfriends who remember all sorts of random holidays and give him gifts!
Occasionally, in special cases like when Uzuki Yugao graduates, the little thing called the perfect attendance lottery machine, along with a little bit of your own hard work, is enough.
Obedient and peaceful.
So—"Take it, I really don't know where to spend this money."
Hearing this, Pharmacist Nono was moved. Of course, she didn't believe it; how could someone have money to burn?
Once you're convinced it's a 'white lie' from the other person, your opinion of them immediately improves significantly.
She carefully put the money away and sincerely said, "Thank you on behalf of the children."
"Come on, I'll show you inside."
Yakushi Nonou led Kamitsuki Seiun on a tour of the orphanage's buildings. There weren't many: the kitchen, living quarters, study and play areas, the restrooms (no need to visit), and Yakushi Nonou's office.
Along the way, Yakushi Nono and Shinzuki Seiun grew closer and closer, crossing the 50-centimeter safety line. Towards the end, their shoulders occasionally brushed against each other.
"This is my office. I sometimes rest and work here."
At the end of the tour, Yakushi Nonou took Shinzuki Seiun to her office.
The office is small and simply furnished, but a few handmade items that look like children's creations add a touch of warmth.
"Stay for lunch later."
"It won't be a big meal, but it will be enough to fill our stomachs. I'll introduce you to the children later."
"No need," Shenyue Xingyun declined the other party's suggestion. "The sentiment is enough. I don't know the children anymore."
"Compared to the children, actually... I want to understand you more."
"Miss Nono."
"Bang." The door was casually closed by Shenyue Xingyun.
The atmosphere in the small office suddenly changed. Shinzuki Seiun approached Nono step by step, looking directly into her eyes.
Nonou's eyes widened in panic. "Nebula Jonin...why are you suddenly saying this?"
As Shingetsu Seiun drew closer, Yakushi Nono was already able to sense his presence as he spoke.
"I want to know, Ms. Nonou, whether you want to be with me."
Yakushi Nonou: "?!!"
A hint of surprise flashed in his large eyes.
Yakushi Nonou stared blankly at Kamitsuki Seiun for a moment, then suddenly frowned: "What do you mean?"
"So, your recent donation was just for..." "No!" Shenyue Xingyun interrupted, "The past is the past, the present is the present."
"The question I'm asking now has absolutely nothing to do with what you just did."
Yakushi Nonou breathed a sigh of relief.
She said it herself. Shenyue Xingyun doesn't seem like the type to take advantage of someone's kindness.
Yakushi Nonou: "Then why are you suddenly saying these things?"
Shingetsu Nebula: "Forgive me for being a bit direct sometimes."
"I just think that life is too short. Instead of hesitating and wasting time, it's better to cut through the Gordian knot and get to the bottom of things."
Yakushi Nonou looked at Shinzuki Seiun's handsome face, which was so close to hers, and gently turned her head away.
"What do you want to... figure out?"
