CH 12

“If it works, it will be a big help,” Nono said with a smile, but she did not expect anything.

She was pleased that Nagasawa was so kind, but Nagasawa was just an ordinary Shinobi. There was a limit to how much an ordinary Shinobi could do, so Nono did not have any expectations for this.

“Do you want some fruit? We planted it ourselves. Even though it’s a little sour, it is good.” Nono asked. After that, he stood up and pretended to go get the fruit.

Nagasawa quickly stopped her and shook his head. “There’s no need for that. I just had dinner.”

He was here to reduce the burden on the orphanage, not to increase it.

“Actually, I came here to discuss something with you,” Nagasawa said.

“What is it?” Nono asked curiously.

Nagasawa pointed at Kabuto that had just finished eating dumplings. He said, “I want Kabuto to attend the Academy. I will pay for the tuition.”

Kabuto was a talent that he wanted to nurture. It was a waste if he just cooped up in here

There were two benefits to entering the Academy. Aside from providing children with a proper childhood, they could also learn knowledge about Shinobi.

Although the Academy only taught the basics, it was essential.

A trace of hesitation was reflected in Nono’s face. She said, “he is clumsy. Plus, he’s from an orphanage. I’m afraid he will be bullied in school.”

The orphans who had no money or power and were clumsy were most vulnerable to bullying.

As a former member of Root, she had seen too much darkness and understood a lot. She just didn’t want to see those things again, which was why she left and became the head of an orphanage.

She didn’t want Kabuto to have a traumatic childhood in the Academy. She only hoped that she could grow up normally. It was fine if Kabuto didn’t become a Shinobi.

Nagasawa smiled and called Kabuto over. He poked Kabuto’s cheek and said, “You don’t get it, do you? Look at this cute, good-looking young man with short white hair. He will be very popular among the girls. Even if he’s clumsy and barely speaks, others would only consider he’s cool.

“Nono, this world is very realistic. Only the fat and ugly ones are called unsociable. People like Kabuto and me are called cool.”

Nono was stunned when she heard this. In the end, Nagasawa was actually praising himself in such a roundabout way.

“I just can’t beat you when it comes to words,” Nono said, speechless.

Nagasawa was kind, but sometimes he said some strange things. They were obviously of the same age, but the closer she got to Nagasawa, the stranger things Nagasawa would say, and she could not understand most of them.

“However,” Nono changed his tone, “Kabuto must agree. He has the right to choose his own path in life.”

Nagasawa quietly looked at Kabuto without saying a word, and so did Nono.

The two of them only waited for him to make a choice.

Kabuto looked at Nono and Nagasawa. He was a little confused. How did it suddenly become like this? Things were fine just now.

Looking at the somewhat bewildered Kabuto, Nagasawa smiled and said, “Kabuto, don’t feel pressured. You won’t leave the orphanage and Nono even if you go to the Academy.”

“Even if you don’t want to go to the Academy, I visit to see you as usual. So you can relax. If you want to go, then go. If you don’t, then don’t.”

Hearing that he would not lose anything because of making a choice, Kabuto instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he firmly said, “Then I want to attend the Academy!”

Nono felt strange since Kabuto made a decision so quickly, so she asked, “Kabuto, do you really want to experience Academy life?”

Kabuto shook his head and said, “After graduating from Academy, I will become a Shinobi. Shinobis can take missions to make money. I want to make money to take off some of your burden.”

On a dark night, Kabuto happened to see Nono, who looked extremely distressed. She was counting money and sighed afterward.

That was something that could not be seen during the day. Nono only had a smile in front of the children.

When he heard that Shinobis could earn money by completing missions, Kabuto had the idea of ??becoming a Shinobi to earn money. He did not want to see Nono with such a depressed face again.

“Kabuto, you…” Nono was momentarily speechless.

Nagasawa patted Kabuto’s shoulder and smiled, “Indeed, Shinobis make a lot of money by completing missions. The S-rank missions are worth more than one million Ryo, if not more.”

“So you have to work hard. Only powerful ninjas can accept high-level missions.”

When Kabuto heard one million Ryo, a golden light appeared in his eyes, and he nodded repetitively.

Then, Nagasawa encouraged Kabuto with positive stories and left.

He also had something to do, such as looking at the information Minato gave him and the revolution plan for the new Anbu.





Two days later, Nagasawa finished reading the information given by Minato and was ready to go see Kakashi.

He had to go and see Kakashi’s progress as today was already the sixth day.

If Kakashi couldn’t do it yet, he would have to use Points to help Kakashi directly learn Soru.

After all, he could not really drive Kakashi out of Anbu. Kakashi was a perfect subordinate. If he trained him well, he could save him a lot of trouble in the future.

However, if Kakashi really failed to master it, maybe he overestimated Kakashi’s ability a little.

Nagasawa first went to Kakashi’s house to take a look, but Kakashi was not there.

Finally, Nagasawa found Kakashi in the training ground using the Color of Observation Haki.

He found that Kakashi was sparring with Might Guy.

The sun was high in the sky, and the fierce battle between the two set off a burst of yellow smoke.

Might Guy felt that he was done with his warm-up. His eyes were focused, and his momentum suddenly became stronger.

Fourth Gate, The Gate of Pain, open!

After opening the fourth gate, Guy instantly overwhelmed Kakashi, and Kakashi was forced to be on the defensive due to Guy’s high-speed and strong attack.

Nagasawa looked at Kakashi, a little interested. There was no doubt that if this were a normal spar, Kakashi should be stronger.

But since he came here, he had not seen Kakashi use Ninjutsu, and he had been solely using Taijutsu to fight Guy.

“Do you want to corner yourself through the pressure of the battle…?” Nagasawa silently looked at Kakashi and guessed in his heart.

Right when Might Guy’s Leaf Whirlwind was about to hit Kakashi, Kakashi instantly disappeared from Guy’s sight. He reappeared behind Might Guy and punched Might Guy, sending him flying to the ground.

Nagasawa’s eyes widened. It didn’t look like he had just learned how to use it. It seemed like Kakashi had was quite proficient with it already

Might Guy, who fell to the ground, was happy instead of angry. He got up and laughed, revealing his shining teeth. He gave a thumbs up to Kakashi and said, “is this result of your power of love? I can feel it. The power of love is really strong!”

“However, the power of youth is not weaker than the power of love. Gate of Limit, open! Come on, Kakashi, let me see the limit of your power of love!”

Kakashi looked at Guy in confusion. What did he mean by the power of love?
