Nara Langui left Konoha alone, carrying a backpack.
Seeing that the time was approaching noon, he slightly changed his itinerary plan. Instead of returning directly to his tribe in Platycodon City, he went to the Platycodon Orphanage first.
Platycodon Orphanage has its own precise schedule.
When Nara Langui came to the Platycodon Orphanage, the children in the orphanage were gathering in the kitchen to enjoy lunch.
Outside the kitchen.
The fat nun and the thin monk - let's call them that - were holding the pharmacist Noono Uu and telling them something.
Nara Langui moved closer, and the conversation between the three of them could be clearly heard.
"Dean, the subsidy allocated by the village this month is much less than in the past."
"With the war approaching, not many families are willing to adopt children."
"It has been unable to make ends meet for a long time, and the operating conditions of the orphanage have become increasingly tight."
"And if the war breaks out, there will definitely be more children in the orphanage..."
Pharmacist Nonoyu listened quietly to the reports from the fat nun and the thin monk. After the two of them finished speaking, she slowly spoke.
"I will find a way... You two, please give me a little more time."
The fat nun and the thin monk looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
They also know that this kind of thing cannot be forced.
Yakushi Nonoyu is able to open such an orphanage for orphans as a ninja, and use his own mission income to fill a large amount of operating funds, which is a bodhisattva's heart.
What more could the fat nun and the thin monk ask for from such people?
"Dean, you want me to say something."
The fat nun pursed her lips.
"We can ask the village for more money - who's there?!"
The sorrowful expression on the fat nun's face instantly subsided, and she changed to a serious look specially designed to intimidate children.
But wait until you see clearly who is coming.
The fat nun's expression instantly changed again, becoming kind and approachable.
"It's Xiao Nara! Why did you come here at noon? Have you eaten?"
"Fat nun, thin monk."
Nara Langui nodded to the two directors of the orphanage, and then looked at the pharmacist Nonoyu.
"I'm here to see Sister Nonoyu."
The thin monk originally wanted to say something more, but looking at the ninja forehead protector on Nara Langui, he moved his lips, but still did not make a sound.
The pharmacist Nonoyu nodded to the fat nun and the thin monk, and then went to the latter's exclusive small room with Nara Langui.
Entering the room, pharmacist Nonoyu's waist, which had been straight just now, suddenly became a little rickety, and a look of exhaustion appeared on his gentle oval face.
Even though she always looked like a gentle and approachable nun in the past, she looked so mature and reliable.
But in fact, Yakushi Nonou is only just over twenty. (21 years old)
"Sister Nonoyu."
Nara Langui put her backpack on the bed, walked over and returned with a glass of warm water.
"Drink some water and catch your breath."
"Thanks."
Pharmacist No Naiyu took the tea cup with both hands, held it in his hands, and took a sip.
"It's really a joke for you, Lan Gui."
"What's this?"
Nara Langui sat on the bed and shook his head.
"As early as the day Sister Noonoyu opened the Platycodon Orphanage, I expected this moment to happen.
"It's just that what I didn't expect was that Sister Nonoyu, you could persist until now."
If one were to rank the Konoha ninjas according to their belief in the will of fire, then Yakushi Nonou would definitely be at the top.
Gather orphans, protect children, and provide them with a place to stay as much as possible.
In this bloody and dark ninja world where wars are frequent and people are cold and heartless, only this gentle and amiable blonde nun can bring some warmth to the children.
A glass of warm water given by Nara Langui seems to have injected great strength into the pharmacist Nonou.
She put down the teacup, her bright face showing her usual gentle smile.
"Lan Gui, you haven't had lunch at this time, right? I'm going to prepare it right now."
"No need, Sister Nonoyu."
Nara Langui raised her hand to stop the pharmacist Nonoyu's actions and pulled her to sit on the bed.
"You take a rest first and then listen to me."
Pharmacist No Naiyu adjusted the round glasses on the bridge of his nose and said softly: "Speak, I'm listening."
"I heard what the fat nun and the thin monk just said."
Nara Langui stood up again, poured a glass of warm water from the pharmacist Nonoyu, and put it into her hand.
"There is indeed a shortage of funds in the Kikyo Orphanage, right?"
Pharmacist No Naiyu shook his head and was about to say something.
"Do you still remember our previous agreement?"
Nara Langui interrupted the other party in advance.
"If something goes wrong at the Platycodon Orphanage, let's discuss how to make money to support the family."
"Don't speak so ambiguously, like a little adult."
Pharmacist Noonoyu gently tapped Nara Langui's forehead. The fingertips that had just left the wall of the teacup were warm and soft.
"I'm my sister."
"Anyway, about this issue of making money."
Nara Langui pushed his head forward and knocked away the fingers of the pharmacist Nonoyu.
"Sister Nonoyu, have you ever considered it?"
"Since that night, I have been thinking about this issue when I have free time."
Pharmacist No Naiyu nodded and said softly.
"I'm a ninja, and I also know some medical ninjutsu... Lan Gui, what do you think of me opening a medical clinic next to the Platycodon Orphanage?"
Nara Rangui was shocked by the "genius idea" of pharmacist Nonoyu.
"...You mean to open a small medical clinic next to the gathering place of the Nara clan?"
"Isn't it possible?"
Pharmacist Nonou stared at Nara Langui, his brown-green almond eyes revealing a clarity that has not been tainted by society.
"Actually, I am quite confident in my medical ninjutsu.
"In addition, the Nara clan is good at escape, and Kikyo City also lacks specialized medical ninjas. I think opening a medical clinic is a good idea, and there is no need to prepare an additional venue."
"Ah, it sounds like this. There is a lack of competitors, the market has broad prospects, and the barriers to entry are very low..."
Nara Langui gave a few dry compliments and then changed the subject.
"Sister Nonoyu, do you want to listen to my idea?"
What competition? What prospects? What thresholds?
Pharmacist No Naiyu was a little confused when he heard this, and nodded subconsciously.
"Before discussing how to make money, let's first integrate the resources and capabilities we have."
Nara Langui said seriously.
"Sister Nonoyu, what kind of human resources do you think the Kikyo Orphanage has? In other words, the labor force that makes money?"
Pharmacist Nonoyu looked at Nara Langui carefully and said softly.
"Me...and you?"
"And these children in the orphanage!" Nara Langui said helplessly, "and the fat nuns and thin monks."
"No, no!"
Pharmacist No Naiyu shook his head subconsciously, and the frame of the mirror was almost tilted by her.
"The children in the orphanage are so young and can't refine chakra, so they can't do the task at all.
"Nuns and monks are ordinary people and cannot do the work of ninjas."
"Don't bring in the ninja mentality, Sister Nonoyu."
Nara Langui sighed.
"There is a big difference between ninjas and ordinary people in how they make money."
"Sorry, Lan Gui."
Pharmacist Nonoyu bit his lips lightly, but still spoke frankly.
"I don't understand...and what you said before, I didn't quite understand either."
"It's me who should be sorry. What I said was a bit out of line."
Nara Langui self-examination.
"Then skip the professional nonsense and get to the point.
"Sister Nonoyu, based on our own capabilities and conditions, I think what we should do is in the catering industry, which has low barriers and low risks.
"How much does Ms. Nonou know about Konoha's food and beverage shops?"
"No, not too much."
Pharmacist Nonoyu said with some stuttering.
"But after I deliver the mission and collect the bounty, I occasionally buy some snacks from the Guoguo House and bring them to the children."
"The Guozi House is a family, but other than that..."
Nara Langui nodded and counted the many famous restaurants in Konoha Village.
“A meatball shop that sells three-color meatballs with rice cake and red bean soup,
“Gan Ligan is responsible for high-end desserts;
“Barbeque Q, which specializes in hosting gatherings and dinners;
“Ichiraku ramen shop opened recently.
“Other types include various izakayas and teahouses.
“Including mobile oden shops, barbecue stalls, etc.
"As for those ultra-high-end restaurants, such as Rizhao Ryotei, which only caters to the Hokage and various big shots, we will not consider them."
Pharmacist No Naiyu's eyes widened and his pink lips slightly opened, "Okay, so awesome!"
"Just doing a little research."
Nara Langui shrugged his shoulders. Anyway, it was the clone who was tired, not himself.
"When you heard the names of those shops just now, what do you think, Sister Noonoyu?"
"Konoha...there are many people?"
Pharmacist Nonoyu racked his brains to come up with an answer.
"So...want to eat many types of food?"
For pharmacist Noono U, even if she is asked to kill people, it is easier than asking her to answer questions about market economy.
"almost."
Nara Langui nodded.
“Konoha has a large population and people’s tastes are diverse.
"So if we want to enter the catering industry and make money as quickly as possible, we need to segment the market. It is best to target a separate target group and creatively develop a new dish.
"Considering the location of the Kikyo Orphanage, I am planning to target a certain ninja clan..."
In order to save the face he had just lost, the pharmacist Nonoyu quickly answered: "The Nara clan?"
"……No."
Nara Langui glanced at the pharmacist Noonoyu with a subtle expression.
"What I want to say is the Akimichi clan.
"The Akimichi clan has a huge demand for food, especially high-calorie food.
"My plan is to sell fried chicken in front of the Akimichi clan's house."
The shops that appear in this chapter are all original shops.
The opening time of Ichiraku Ramen is based on the movie version of The Lost Tower.
