Uchiha Makoto crossed the street and came to the door of the meatball shop.
The little boy begging just now was standing outside the meatball shop, smelling the sweet fragrance wafting from the shop.
He looked at the people sitting in the shop eating meatballs with envy.
Seeing this, Uchiha Makoto walked into the meatball shop.
"Huh? Uchiha Itachi?" Uchiha Makoto looked at the boy sitting on the second row of tables and was stunned.
At this time, Uchiha Itachi was still a shota. He was eating his favorite meatballs like an ordinary child, with a satisfied smile on his face. No one would have thought that he had already fought on the battlefield with Uchiha Fugaku at the age of four. Killed the enemy.
"Itachi is also 5 years old this year, and time is getting increasingly urgent." Looking at Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Makoto felt a move in his heart.
Although the specific time is not known, if nothing unexpected happens, the battle of Shenwubi will still break out, and it will be another fierce battle.
Uchiha Makoto's current strength is not the same as that of the Battle of Mount Kikyo, but he still cannot be careless in the melee of hundreds of ninjas.
Uchiha Makoto had no intention of saying hello to Itachi, so he just bought a pack of meatballs and walked out.
He took out a bunch of meatballs and ate them while walking. He came to the little boy just now and handed over the oil paper bag containing the meatballs.
"Um."
"Are you the ninja just now? What are you doing? Are you going to take me to jail?" The little boy looked at Uchiha Makoto with an uneasy look on his face.
"I'll send you to the orphanage." Uchiha Makoto said straightforwardly without asking any nonsense questions.
Begging is not allowed in Konoha. After all, under the leadership of the Third Hokage, how could Konoha allow beggars?
Children whose parents are ninjas will receive a pension after their parents die in battle. The amount is not large, but it is enough for them to persist until they become genin.
Those war orphans who are not native to Konoha will be sent to welfare homes.
According to the urinary behavior of some people in the police force, if Uchiha Makoto does not report this incident in time, the child may be beaten next time he begs.
"No! No need!" The little boy panicked when he heard this and waved his hands repeatedly.
"If you go to the orphanage, you will have a place to stay. It will be much better than now." Uchiha Makoto was stunned for a moment.
"Actually... I ran away from the orphanage." The little boy said timidly. He didn't know why he felt a special sense of closeness to Uchiha Makoto, just like the big brother next door, unconsciously Just told the truth.
"Escaped secretly?"
"Because...because I don't have enough to eat..." The little boy looked at the aroma of the meatballs emanating from the oil paper bag and swallowed hard.
Uchiha Makoto's face changed slightly, but he didn't guess anything. Instead, he shook the meatballs in his hand, "What's going on? Tell me the truth, and I'll give you all these meatballs!"
"My appetite is too big. One person can eat enough for three people. The orphanage has insufficient funds. In order to save money, the director and the aunt who takes care of us only eat two meals a day, and sometimes only one meal. How can I be embarrassed? Eat more, so..." The little boy lowered his head, seeming to feel a little embarrassed.
"What do these people at the top do for a living? They are infighting and fighting among themselves all day long, and they can't even do this well!" Uchiha Makoto was furious.
At this time, he remembered a 'big boss' who walked out of the orphanage - Kabuto Yakushi.
Kabuto Yakushi's childhood situation was so miserable, Danzo could not escape his involvement.
Makoto Uchiha remembered that it was Danzo who used the funds allocated to the welfare home as a threat to let the director Yakushi Nonou continue to perform espionage missions, and then took Kabuto into the Anbu to train as spies, and finally let them kill each other, Yakushi Kabuto The collapse started with his own hands as the dean.
Scientific research talents are precious talents in any world. At this stage, Uchiha Makoto cannot find the great scientist Orochimaru, but Yakushi Kabuto is a very good choice.
After all, human energy is limited. Uchiha Makoto naturally wants to devote most of his energy to practice. As for scientific research, he naturally has to leave it to professional talents.
I don’t know if Kabuto Yakushi was taken into ANBU by Danzo at this time.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Makoto had a plan in mind, and he said to the little boy:
"I'll take you back to the orphanage. Don't do this kind of thing next time because the village's regulations don't allow it.
As for the funding, I will also report it to the senior management. "
That being said, but unlike the matter of setting up a stall, Uchiha Makoto can't say much at this stage when it comes to funding matters, but he has his own methods.
"Really? Then we don't have to be hungry in the future?" The little boy looked surprised. In his opinion, Uchiha Makoto must be a big shot, and his words will definitely work. So did the three fierce ninjas just now. He was easily scared away by Uchiha Makoto.
"Of course! I keep my word, by the way! I forgot to ask your name, my name is Uchiha Makoto."
"My name is Da Zheng, let's go quickly. The dean will definitely be very happy to know this news."
At this time, Taisho took the oil-paper bag from Uchiha Makoto's hand, then grasped the opening of the oil-paper bag tightly, then twisted it a few times and stuffed it into his arms.
Seeing Uchiha Makoto looking at him, Taisho smiled, "I want to take it back and share it with my companions, is that okay?"
"You decide what to give you." Uchiha Makoto nodded.
Taisho brought Uchiha Makoto back to the orphanage with a smile on his face.
As soon as he returned, the children who were playing in the open space of the orphanage immediately gathered around him.
After asking, I found out that the dean and the aunt who took care of them had gone out to look for Tai Zheng.
Uchiha Makoto glanced among the children and found no sign of Yakushi Kabuto.
"Dean, have you found Taisho?"
At this time, a voice sounded, and a boy who looked about seven or eight years old walked out of the room. He was holding a bottle in his hand and feeding the baby in his arms.
"Huh?" Uchiha Makoto looked at the boy who had just walked out and his eyes changed. He had round glasses and white hair. He was definitely Kabuto Yakushi.
At this time, Kabuto still looked harmless, feeling very shy.
"Who are you?" Kabuto Yakushi looked at Uchiha Makoto with confusion.
"My name is Uchiha Makoto. I met Taisho on the road. He happened to be back at the orphanage, and he also had something to do with your dean." Uchiha Makoto smiled slightly.
Kabuto Yakushi was stunned for a moment and carefully looked at the ninja in front of him.
The girls in the orphanage all gathered around Uchiha Makoto. They were not afraid of strangers at all, and even pestered him with questions.
Seeing a group of little lolita surrounding him, Uchiha Makoto felt a little helpless. Having too high a charm value can sometimes be troublesome.
After waiting for more than an hour, as it was getting dark, the director of the orphanage, pharmacist Noonoyu, came back with a tired face.
"Taisho! Are you back?!"
"I'm sorry, Dean." Da Fang looked ashamed.
"Just come back." Pharmacist Nonoyu did not blame Taisho.
She noticed Uchiha Makoto, who was surrounded by girls in the middle of the yard. When she saw Uchiha Makoto's jounin mail armor and Uchiha clan emblem, her eyes changed slightly, "Who are you?"
"It's this big brother who sent Taisho back." Before Uchiha Makoto could answer, the girls on the side rushed to answer.
"Really, thank you so much." Yakushi Nonou showed gratitude on his face and bowed slightly towards Uchiha Makoto, "I am Yakushi Nonou, the dean of the welfare home."
"You're welcome, it's just a way to stop by." Uchiha Makoto looked at the pharmacist Nonou who was dressed in a nun's uniform. She had blond hair and wore round glasses like Kabuto. She looked gentle and beautiful, like a girl next door. She has the feeling of a sister. Anyone who meets her will never connect her to Danzo's roots.
"By the way, I actually have one more thing to do when I come." Uchiha Makoto took off his bulging backpack, looked at the children around him, and said to the pharmacist Nonou, "Dean Nonou, let's go to the room. Let’s talk alone.”
Yakushi Nonou was slightly startled when she heard this, then nodded, but felt a little uneasy in her heart because she didn't know if Uchiha Makoto was Danzo's. Recently, she had already approached Danzo about the orphanage's funds. .
Thinking of this, she pointed inside and said: "Chengjun, please."
"Hey~ So eldest brother likes a mature type like the dean?"
"Since she is the dean, I won't compete with her."
...
After the two left, the girls in the orphanage suddenly started chattering.
Arriving in the room, Uchiha Makoto and Yakushi Nonou sat opposite each other.
He put his backpack on the ground, unzipped it, took out a bunch of money and put it on the table in front of Nonoyu.
"Mr. Cheng, what do you mean?" Pharmacist No Naiyu looked confused. She noticed that the denomination of the coin was one thousand taels, and every time she threw money, it was no less than one hundred thousand taels.
Uchiha Makoto patted the fifteen thousand taels on the table and said: "Dean Nonoyu, here is a total of one and a half million taels, all donated to the welfare institution in my own name."
"This..." Yakushi Nonou was shocked by Uchiha Makoto's straightforward behavior, so he donated money as soon as he came up, and it was a huge sum.
She is worried about funding recently. The orphanage originally adopted 45 children, and recently four more children were adopted, including two babies. The money for milk powder is almost running out.
This money comes at the right time and is so crucial! Just because during this sensitive period when Danzo was withholding funds, she had to think more.
"Dean, you don't have to think too much, I have no other intentions." Uchiha Makoto smiled, "After going to the battlefield, I often feel physically and mentally exhausted. Seeing the smiles of these children always makes me feel healed. I met Taisho today. I like this kid very much.
It just so happened that I just completed an important task today and received a large reward, which was just a little bit of kindness.
If there's nothing wrong, I'll leave first. "
With that said, Uchiha Makoto stood up directly.
Seeing Uchiha Makoto was about to leave without saying a word, Yakushi Nonou was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up, "Wait! Makoto-kun!"
Uchiha Makoto stopped, and the pharmacist Nonou came to him, clasped his hands and lowered his head, "I would like to thank you for your donation on behalf of these children. It is really a big help!"
"You're welcome, I will come to visit the children when I have time in the future." Uchiha Makoto smiled, waved his hand, and left the room.
Before leaving, he glanced at Kabuto standing at the door.
One and a half million taels is just a small investment. He is not short of money anyway, just a drizzle.
Now that it is confirmed that Kabuto is still in Konoha, it will be easier to handle.
After Uchiha Makoto left, Nonou walked out of the room with a strange expression, and Yakushi Kabuto hurried forward.
The children also gathered around.
Nonoyu touched Taisho's head and said to the children: "To celebrate Taisho's safe return, we will have an extra meal tonight. You can eat whatever you want!"
"Really?"
"Dean, are you telling the truth?"
"Did I hear correctly?"
"I want to eat barbecue!"
"It's better to eat fish. Fish is...cheaper."
Listening to the children's sensible words, Nonoyu's face showed a distressed smile, and then said softly: "You can eat whatever you want today."
Kabuto looked at Nonoyu, hesitating to speak, looking worried about the welfare home's finances.
Nonoyu smiled and told him not to worry.
