Chapter 61 The Crybaby Medical Genius – Pharmacist Nono (Ch 61)

“Yeah.” Haruki’s mood became depressed when Tsunade asked about such things.
At this moment, Tsunade had clenched her fists, and there was a crackling sound between her finger bones.
“A bunch of old bastards.”
“You keep talking about the Will of Fire, yet you do something so outrageous.”
After a long while, Tsunade’s anger subsided, and she and Haruki came to the grass to play with the children.
Tsunade took this opportunity to sense whether the yang chakra in their bodies was active when her palms touched their bodies.
But during this process, she had to put on an ugly smile on her face.
For most children, the life energy in their bodies is far lower than the normal level of their peers.
This has nothing to do with talent, but is caused by years of malnutrition.
“Big sister, if you are unhappy, you can cry. You will feel much better after crying.” A quiet, thin little girl with brown hair and a yellowish khaki color walked up to Tsunade, raised her head, squinted her eyes, and a pure smile was on her face.
“Hahaha, crybaby Nono is trying to persuade others to cry again.”
The older boy who had led the way just now pointed at Nono and laughed at him.
Before Tsunade could make a move, Haruki hit him on the forehead with her fingers.
“Taidou, how many times have I told you not to laugh at your fellow orphanage members?”
Taidou raised his hand to cover his forehead and said in pain: “But crying will cause trouble for the dean.”
Even his own eyes were slightly red from the pain, but he still tried hard not to shed tears.
“That’s not the way to go. You can go and help the dean take care of everyone. That’s what a man should do.” Qingguang corrected.
He was careful just now and controlled the strength, which only made him remember it a little.
I didn’t expect that this kid, who usually looks like a troublemaker, actually has such thoughts in his mind.
“I understand, Brother Qingguang, you hurt me, can you be gentler next time?”
“Brother Qingguang apologizes, but you’d better not do it again next time.” Qingguang squatted down and looked Taidou straight in the eye.
“Um.”
While Harumitsu and Taito were talking, Tsunade, with her hand on Nono’s head, was so surprised that she was speechless.
This child is so thin, but the Yang chakra in his body is so strong.
In fact, she is almost catching up with her when she was a child.
If it weren’t for malnutrition, she might have reached the same level as she did back then.
She immediately took Harumitsu to the other side and asked him about Nono’s news.
“This child’s father is a special Jonin in the village, and her mother is a medical ninja who died in a special operation. She grew up in an orphanage. The name Yakushi is the last thing her parents left her.”
“What is her talent?” Qingguang asked curiously.
Although he brought Tsunade here for Nono, he still had to pretend that he knew nothing.
“Very good. In fact, as long as she works hard enough, she will definitely be better than I was back then.” Tsunade said firmly.
She loved to play when she was a child, and even picked up the bad habit of gambling from Hashirama. If Mito hadn’t forced her to read medical books and study and train, she wouldn’t have achieved what she has today.
“Where are the other children?” Qingguang asked again.
Speaking of this, Tsunade shook her head regretfully: “She is the only one. Some of the other children are already severely malnourished. When I go back, I will ask that old man to distribute more funds to the orphanage.”
It was not until the dean prepared lunch that Tsunade saw the black bread on the long table and the thin white porridge with chopped vegetable leaves floating in the big pot.
“Is this all the children can eat?” Tsunade looked at Haruki and asked in a low voice.
“Well, we didn’t even have bread before, only porridge. The wild vegetables in it were dug by the dean and the children from nearby. Now that winter is approaching, there are fewer wild vegetables.”
At this moment, Nono brought her small bowl of vegetable porridge and black bread and placed them in front of Tsunade.
“Sister, eat more. Once you’re full, you won’t feel uncomfortable.” She still had that smile on her face.
Tsunade even felt suffocated.
“It’s okay, you don’t need to. Just eat it. I’ll give you my portion too. When we get back, I’ll have a big meal for you and Qingguang.”
Hearing Tsunade say this, Nono seemed relieved and smiled even more brightly.
“That’s good~”
Feeling the hard-to-swallow black bread in her mouth, paired with the somewhat bitter wild vegetable porridge, Tsunade realized at this moment how happy her childhood life was.
He also understood that there were so many children in Konoha who could not feel the glory brought by the will of fire. Instead, they were treated as firewood and thrown into the fire, and some people squeezed out the last value from them.
By the afternoon and evening, the children had already crawled into rows of bedding spread out on the wooden boards.
The temperature gradually dropped, and they could only stay warm by staying under the quilt, whispering to each other until they fell asleep without realizing it.
Outside the orphanage, the director escorted Haruki and Tsunade to the door, bowed deeply to Tsunade, and said, “Lady Tsunade, I want to ask you a favor. If you have a child you like, please treat her well after you take her away.”
“It’s OK even if the village doesn’t allocate funds to the orphanage.”
Qingguang helped the dean up: “Don’t worry, dean, the big sister is not that kind of person. We will apply for funding from the Hokage for the orphanage.”
On the way back, Tsunade became silent and found Senju Jurei that night, asking her to help compile a list of the orphanage’s funding amounts in recent years.
She received the summary the next morning. Looking at the accounts and the names of the people who signed the accounts, the anger that had accumulated yesterday finally erupted completely at this moment.
Headed straight to the Hokage’s office.
At the same time, Qingguang also set out to head there.
Since he had promised the dean that he would help him apply for funding for the orphanage, he would naturally not go back on his word.
Winter is coming, and the children urgently need the money to buy more clothes and supplies, otherwise they will find it difficult to survive the snow.
If the village really cannot afford the money right now because of preparations for war, then he can only think of another way, even if doing so will arouse suspicion from Sarutobi Hiruzen.
But when Haruki just arrived downstairs of the Hokage building, he looked up and heard Tsunade’s unrestrained and angry cursing.
The two guards downstairs looked at Harumitsu with awkward expressions: “Harumitsu, Tsunade-sama is discussing something important with Hokage-sama right now, how about you come back later?”
“It’s okay, I’ll take care of it.”
With a smile from Qingguang, the crisis is gone.
The guards immediately made way as if they had seen a savior. Who didn’t know that Haruki was Sarutobi Hiruzen’s adopted son?
I hope Qingguang can go up and resolve this farce.
Little did they know that Haruki was on Tsunade’s side.
