Therefore, Yakushi Nono currently lacked no opportunities to execute good missions, and her income was considered quite high among all Genin.
For this small orphanage, she had already become its pillar.
Therefore, she was also filled with gratitude toward Tsunade and Uchiha Gen, who had brought all of this to her.
And when Uchiha Gen appeared outside the door carrying two bags of gifts, Yakushi Nono was even more excited beyond measure.
"Lord Gen, and this elderly gentleman, please sit!"
Inside the small house, Yakushi Nono scrambled to serve the two of them the best tea the orphanage had.
"Hmm, alright."
Uchiha Gen sat down on a chair and, looking at the group of children inside the room who were curiously sizing him up, revealed a smile.
"Are you Uchiha Gen? Sister Nonou often mentions you to us!"
A bolder child poked his head out and asked Uchiha Gen.
"If there is no other Jonin in Konoha Village with this name who also knows Medical Ninjutsu, then the person you are talking about should be me."
Uchiha Gen blinked at the child and replied.
"Wow! It really is you!"
"And Lady Tsunade!"
"Yes, they are both such good people!"
"Everyone outside says you are amazing, the youngest Jonin."
Watching the interaction between Uchiha Gen and the group of children, Yakushi Nono's eyes beneath her glasses immediately crinkled into two smiling crescents.
"Alright, children, Lord Gen and this gentleman have come to find Yakushi Nonou, they must have things to discuss as Ninja, let's go back to the room to sleep first."
After interacting with the children for a while, the old woman took the initiative to speak, leading the children away from the spacious room.
"Lord Gen, did you come to find me because you have something to instruct?"
After everyone else left, Yakushi Nonou asked Uchiha Gen softly and respectfully.
"I do have something to ask for your help with. Rest assured, it is very safe and pays well, no need to look like you are going to be a suicide soldier."
Uchiha Gen reassured Yakushi Nono.
He wasn't Danzo.
Yakushi Nonou breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression remained quiet and calm.
"Rest assured, Lord Gen. Since I became a Ninja, I have come to terms with certain things, I just can't let go of the old woman and the children in this orphanage."
"I already said I'm not sending you to die, I'm sending you money."
Uchiha Gen waved his hand and said.
You have talent, obvious weaknesses, and no background, no wonder in the future you will be coerced by Danzo into Root and repeatedly sent abroad as a spy.
When the dirt and intelligence you held became enough to affect Danzo himself, you were removed without hesitation, in the cruelest way, dying at the hands of the most familiar stranger.
"Lord Gen, please give your orders."
Yakushi Nonou remained polite.
"Just a moment ago, the Jounin Council Meeting ended. The meeting passed the plan proposed by teacher Tsunade to build the Medical Ninja system in Konoha Village, though it will only be in the initial stage for the short term."
The Uchiha Clan will cooperate with Teacher Tsunade to provide support for the development of Medical Ninja, so we plan to select and train a group of clansmen within the clan.
I have other things to do recently and don't have time to attend to this.
In the Land of Rain, you were my assistant, and I am very confident in your Medical Ninjutsu foundation.
These people are just beginners who need an introduction, and your level is completely sufficient, which is why I brought the Great Elder of the clan to find you."
Uchiha Gen looked at Yakushi Nonou, observing the expression on her face as he spoke.
If it were Yakushi Nonou ten years later, who had already grown up and had a certain understanding of the power structure of Konoha Village, even with more money, without holding her weaknesses against her, even if playing on her gratitude, she likely wouldn't be willing to get involved in the power struggle between the Uchiha Clan and the Konoha high-level officials in the Medical Department.
However, the current power struggle between Konoha's high-level officials and the Uchiha is still very secret, and has not expanded into a major conflict that everyone can see like in the original timeline.
Yakushi Nonou is just a Genin who has been a Ninja for a little over a year, and with a mediocre background, before climbing to a sufficiently high level, no platform could provide her with the vision, and it is not yet time for her to see these things.
For such a talent, Uchiha Gen hoped to mark her with his own signal early on.
If she were to fall into Danzo's hands again, while she could certainly play an important role as a top-tier spy Ninja in the Ninja World, that would be somewhat regrettable.
"Regarding the compensation, you don't need to worry. The Uchiha never mistreats anyone who helps the Uchiha."
The Great Elder, who had not spoken since entering the room, spoke up at this moment.
"Ten thousand Ryo for every day of teaching, continuing until the Medical Department assessment begins in one month."
Ten thousand a day is a very high income; even for experts at the Jonin level, not everyone can have such strong earning ability.
However, it only lasts for one month, a total of 300,000 Ryo, which is just pocket change for the Uchiha Clan.
As long as she can train qualified students to pass the Medical Department's assessment, this money won't be wasted.
Yakushi Nonou was dazed by these two sentences from the Great Elder.
One month, 300,000 Ryo?
Her income was already considered very high among Genin, but to earn 300,000 Ryo, she couldn't do it within a year.
If such a sum of money were used for the orphanage, how much of a difference could it make?
But it wasn't over yet.
The Great Elder's voice continued: "For every Ninja trained who passes the Medical Department assessment, an additional bonus of 10,000 Ryo will be given. If the number exceeds twenty people, an additional 10,000 Ryo for each person."
Yakushi Nonou immediately became even more energized.
If she could really train twenty people who could enter the Medical Department, that would add up to 700,000!
"Lord Gen, and this—"
"I am Uchiha Gen."
"Elder Gen, please leave this matter to me!"
Yakushi Nonou said with a determined face.
"You are the person Gen selected. I trust Gen's judgment, and naturally, I believe you can do it."
As the Great Elder said this, he took a bag from his waist.
"Thirty days of wages, I will give you half as a deposit first. Prepare the necessary teaching materials tomorrow, and you can come to the Uchiha Clan grounds to start teaching the day after tomorrow morning. At that time, someone from the Police Force will come to pick you up."
Yakushi Nonou cupped her hands, took the bag, lowered her little head, and said gratefully: "Lord Gen, Elder Gen, please rest assured, Nonou will definitely live up to the trust!"
"The Jounin Council Meeting is over, the Great Elder is handling matters within the clan, and there is Nonou for the Medical Department. Now, these trivial matters are finally resolved, and I can focus my energy on cultivation with peace of mind."

Under the starry night, Uchiha Gen, who had parted ways with the Great Elder, did not return home immediately but came to the training ground.
"Training Acceleration Card, activate!"
Start grinding!
