Chapter 181 Kiyoshi's filial piety turns sour, and Nonou has a headache.

Chapter 181 Kiyoshi's filial piety... has gone awry, and Nonou's headache.

"yes."

Samui paused in his wiping of the table.

She had received intelligence about Kiyoshi's situation on the battlefield, and she was shocked and puzzled.

Yugito, the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails, has gone berserk, and the reason for his berserk state is Kiyoshi!

This value and potential make Kiyoshi even more sought-after.

It is said that after the Third Raikage finishes dealing with matters in Kumogakure, he will come to deal with Kiyoshi's problem.

However, by then, these ninjas who failed to complete their mission will be punished.

"Pack yourself up, your sister is going out."

Samui dried his hands with his apron, went to the kitchen to rummage around for a while, and then brought out a gift box.

We don't expect Kiyoshi to defect, but we should at least get him to reveal some information about Konoha.

This will also make it seem like progress is being made, and that no funeral has been held.

Atsi, who had originally planned to share with her sister Samui, suddenly became serious.

The thought that her sister was going to have to grovel and try to win over Kiyoshi again made Atsui feel uneasy.

If he could, he would like to go and win over Kiyoshi instead of his sister, but Kiyoshi said that his sister should do it.

Atzii was completely unaware of the details of each of their transactions.

"Wasting so much time on a traitor..."

Atsi muttered to himself.

Despite being born in the Land of Lightning, Kiyoshi became a member of the Uchiha clan because the Uchiha clan recognized his talent first.

In his view, it's forgetting one's roots!

…………

Konoha Hospital.

"It's time to go."

Yakushi Nonou sighed.

Her desire to leave Konoha is growing stronger.

Through her intelligence network, she discovered that the ninja academy is currently expanding its enrollment.

Moreover, the training content is much more extensive than in peacetime, which is clearly aimed at cultivating more potential troops.

These dark scenes made Yakushi Nonou increasingly reluctant to stay in Konoha.

The reason she's still in Konoha is because she took on a disciple; otherwise, she would have left long ago.

Bang bang.

There was a knocking sound coming from the half-closed office door.

Yakushi Nonou was puzzled at first, but then, in less than a second, a smile appeared on her lips.

Through her senses, she already knew who the person was.

"Teacher Nono, it's been a long time since I last greeted you."

Kiyoshi pushed open the door and entered, placing the gifts he was carrying on the table.

"It must have been tough on the battlefield."

Yakushi Nonou beckoned to Kiyoshi to sit down.

She didn't know how to tell her disciple that she was considering leaving.

"Xiao Qingji..."

"Is Ms. Nonou leaving?"

Kiyoshi was much more perceptive than Yakushi Nono.

Perhaps noticing a hint of surprise on Yakushi Nonou's face, Kiyoshi promptly added:

"I've seen some people who have left the ninja profession, and the melancholy on their faces is just like that of Ms. Nono."

As Kiyoshi spoke, his tone became somewhat melancholic, and his expression turned forlorn.

But his heart remained as still as a mountain.

He already knew that Yakushi Nonou was leaving, and seeing her hesitant expression today, he guessed it was today.

They arrived later than Kiyoshi had expected.

He thought Yakushi Nonou would leave while he was on the front lines, but it has been delayed until today.

This shows that she holds a high position in Yakushi Nonou's heart.

The first apprentice always evokes different feelings.

"Looks like you guessed it."

Yakushi Nonou sighed softly.

The handover is now complete, and she can leave at any time.

She had already prepared the funds for opening an orphanage and chosen the land in advance.

"Could you tell me where Nonou-sensei is going?"

Kiyoshi's gaze was fixed on Yakushi Nonou.

People's expressions and demeanor can be faked, especially Kiyoshi, who has the Sharingan and can observe other people's subtle expressions every day.

Over the years, his understanding of expressions and emotions has far surpassed that of others.

The stronger one's pupils, the more one can observe.

That gaze was somewhat intense.

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Yakushi Nonou's heart.

She had worked as a spy for many years and was very familiar with all kinds of glances.

To teach Kiyoshi, she even looked up some psychological analyses of adolescence.

Kiyoshi's condition is clearly that of a restless teenager going through puberty.

Hormonal changes during puberty can spark curiosity about the opposite sex, while the gentle qualities of older women may trigger a subtle sexual attraction.

Filial piety, as it is commonly known, has gone awry.

But Yakushi Nonou knew very well that she and Kiyoshi were not a good match, as their age difference was too great.

Being with Kiyoshi would only harm him, and she also knew that this feeling was more symbolic than true "love".

This is a normal phenomenon during growth and should not be simply denied or ridiculed.

"I'll open an orphanage."

"Yakushi Nonou said."

Harsh intervention may exacerbate Kiyoshi's rebellious mentality or sense of shame.

This could even lead to a series of consequences, such as Qing Si feeling inferior.

Especially when she saw Kiyoshi's face showing reluctance to let her go, as if she were an abandoned child.

"An orphanage?"

Kiyoshi was stunned for a moment, then quickly searched his body and found the scroll containing the money.

"This is my savings, and I hope it can help Ms. Nono."

Yakushi Nonou's heart sank.

Kiyoshi was getting quite deeply involved.

Adolescents will actively approach and seek attention, feel excited by the other person's approval, feel anxious when they are distant, and may even have one-sided romantic fantasies.

This blurs the lines between "dependence," "worship," and "adoration."

"Kiyoshi, you should keep this money."

Yakushi Nono declined.

"I don't need this money right now. The war isn't over yet, and there will be many other places where I'll need the money later."

Yakushi Nonou said a lot, the gist of which was that she didn't need Kiyoshi's hard-earned money.

Seeing this, Qing Si had no choice but to put it away.

At this point, Pharmacist Nono had not yet suffered the harsh realities of society. It wasn't until she opened the orphanage that she realized how expensive it was.

To make up for the orphanage's financial shortfall, he even returned to the ninja profession, went back to Root to continue his old ways, and infiltrated enemy countries as a spy.

"Is there anything you want?"

Yakushi Nonou patted Kiyoshi's head, praising his gratitude and filial piety.

However, the response was one of absolute reluctance to respond.

She didn't even know what to do.

Kiyoshi's current state is partly due to her poor guidance.

"I...I want a batch of medical equipment."

Kiyoshi revealed the true purpose of his trip.

She added at the end, "This way, my medical ninjutsu can continue to improve, so as not to let down Teacher Nonou's reputation, and in the future I can also help treat the children in the orphanage."

"Alright."

Yakushi Nonou nodded.

She could easily accomplish this by leveraging her connections. Since she was already planning to leave the ninja industry, she might as well let these relationships shine one last time.

Pharmacist Nonou took Kiyoshi to a laboratory and, after discussing it with Sarutobi Biwako, granted Kiyoshi exclusive access to a particular laboratory.

Finally, she handed Kiyoshi a ninjutsu technique.
