I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"I only modified one set; the rest was done by Isabella."

Orochimaru pointed at Isabella, who smiled and bowed to Chiaki. Orochimaru continued, "Basically all the rules you set have been refined by her, forming a set of regulations. Ultimately, the Dean has to make the final decision."

"Look, the dean is over here."

Chiaki gestured to Yakushi Nonou, "She will be in charge of everything at the orphanage from now on. Of course, I will cover the initial operating losses, and the orphanage will be responsible for its own profits and losses in the later stages."

"I will definitely assist the director in achieving the orphanage's revenue target as soon as possible, please rest assured."

Isabella smiled sweetly, but Yakushi Nonou was already speechless with shock.

Future blinked. Although she had never experienced anything like this before, she came from the information age and wasn't too surprised.

Yakushi Nonou was quite taken aback; she was stunned by everything before her.

The orphanage's decor was not only high-end and elegant, but it also had nuns with special uniforms and a unified plan and organization.

This orphanage... seems to have a complete set of operating rules.

Chapter 227 Loyalty in the Blood

Yakushi Nono was somewhat bewildered.

Honestly, anyone would feel lost and helpless in this situation.

She was prepared to start from scratch and gradually improve her orphanage. After a period of hard work, with her love for children and dedication to her career, she finally realized her dream and became a respected orphanage director.

We strive to run the orphanage, adopt war orphans, find good homes for them, and ensure their happiness while receiving donations to help them live better lives.

But what happened...

Starting from scratch?

Working hard to manage it?

Looking for a good family?

How can we make life better for children?

No need at all!

You start with a fully-equipped orphanage at max level, a fully-equipped and capable mother, and ten nun assistants.

The adoptive parents of the children have been confirmed. The initial profit and loss of the company, which was most likely to fail, has been directly taken over by the big boss. Apart from the unresolved issue of the source of the orphans, everything else has a set of complete rules that can be followed step by step.

As for the origin of the orphans...

Isn't that easy to do?

There are so many orphans outside of Konoha. The previous wars swept across the entire ninja world, and with the possibility of a third ninja war in the future, there are as many children as we need, so there's no need to worry.

Goodness, the orphanage's operation is indeed not a problem, but Yakushi Nonou herself is.

Everything at the orphanage was orchestrated by Qianqiu; none of the things she had envisioned would ever happen.

Pharmacist Nonou felt like she was just there to hold a sinecure as the director of the orphanage; in reality, it didn't really matter whether she was there or not.

Isabella is extremely capable; she alone is enough to run the orphanage very well.

In comparison, I, who only care about children and gather intelligence and read people's expressions, seem much inferior.

Not only did Yakushi Nonou feel this way, but Orochimaru also thought that Chiaki's actions were somewhat unnecessary.

"Lord Chiaki... I don't think I'm very suitable to be the director of the orphanage..."

Yakushi Nonou bowed deeply to Chiaki and said apologetically, "I'm afraid my abilities are insufficient to support such a perfect dream island."

Isabella paused for a moment, straightened up, and turned her gaze to Qianqiu.

She had heard that Pharmacist Nono was extremely capable, and that it was Chiaki, the big boss, who specifically requested her to be appointed as the dean.

Isabella could manage this orphanage all by herself. Wouldn't it be better for her to just become the director and take care of herself?

Now that Yakushi Nonou has voluntarily resigned, Isabella has a different thought in her mind.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chiaki smiled, touched Yakushi Nonou's forehead, glanced at Isabella almost imperceptibly, and asked Yakushi Nonou, "Would you betray me?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

Yakushi Nonou suddenly raised her head and said resolutely to Chiaki, "No matter what happens, I will never betray Lord Chiaki!"

"Then it's over."

Chiaki smiled and reached out to stroke Yakushi Nonou's cheek. "All I want is someone who will never betray me, not just someone with great abilities."

"After all, this kind of person can be replaced at any time, right?"

Her alluring peach blossom eyes stared straight at Isabella, who held her breath and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look into Qianqiu's eyes.

Isabella understood. She was indeed capable, but she had not gained the trust of Chiaki, the big boss.

Since Orochimaru was able to find her from the countryside to manage the orphanage, he could find another person of similar talent.

No matter how capable a person is, if they truly want to be valued by their superiors, the only way is to gain their full trust.

For troublesome bosses like Chiaki, building trust is the most difficult thing.

"Therefore, you are the only one who can take on the roles of the owner of Dream Island and the director of this orphanage."

Chiaki released her grip and smiled at Yakushi Nonou, saying, "Abilities can be cultivated, but loyalty flowing in one's blood is the hardest thing to cultivate."

"Yes!"

Yakushi Nonou nodded heavily, her eyes filled with tears, and clenched her fists, saying, "I will absolutely not let Lord Chiaki down!"

"I will definitely use all my talents to make Neverland even more dreamy and wonderful!"

It feels really good to be trusted.

Moreover, Chiaki still gave up another better candidate than herself and firmly chose her, entrusting this dreamlike fantasy island to her hands.

This kindness is truly beyond repayment; the only way I can repay it is by doing my utmost to run the orphanage well for Qianqiu.

"Mmm!"

Chiaki nodded in satisfaction and looked at Isabella, who had a perfect smile. "Just do your best to assist Nonou. I think you won't do anything to disappoint me."

"Of course."

Isabella trembled slightly, but still maintained her perfect smile as she bowed to Chiaki, saying, "You can fully trust me."

"Oh?"

"How do you want me to believe you?"

Qianqiu stared at Isabella, who felt a chill run down her spine. She looked around, and when she looked out the window at the door, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"My lord, I believe the opportunity to prove my loyalty has arrived."

"Qianqiu, a group of people has arrived at the door, numbering about thirty or more."

Future moved closer to Chiaki, took her hand, and said...

"Doorway?"

Qianqiu unexpectedly walked to the window and looked out. She saw a masked man standing at the entrance of the orphanage, and the orphanage was surrounded by a large group of masked men.

"Anbu?"

Chiaki raised an eyebrow, and Yakushi Nonou immediately shook her head.

"It's not the dark side, it's the root."

"The masks of the Dark Division are different from those of the Root Division, and the newcomer has a menacing aura, clearly here to cause trouble."

"Oh?"

Chiaki blinked. "People from the Root? What are they doing at my orphanage..."

"I guess they want us to join the Roots and provide them with well-trained children."

Yakushi Nonou lowered her voice, her thoughts racing. "I suspect they'll use a few methods to coerce or entice us. Just as Isabella said, her chance to prove herself has arrived."

Isabella stared at Yakushi Nono in surprise, and Orochimaru glanced at her as well.

Just by glancing at the ninjas outside, Yakushi Nonou was able to deduce so much?

It seems that this woman does indeed have some talent, just as Qianqiu said.

Chapter 228 Community Warmth

"Open the door!"

"We are from Konoha's Root, here to investigate the situation on Lord Danzo's orders!"

A man wearing an oil-painted mask stood at the entrance of the orphanage, his gaze sweeping over the entire building.

Another masked ninja, clearly a henchman, was banging on the door.

The architectural style of this orphanage is quite out of place with the overall architectural style of Konoha. It's hard to tell where this building suddenly came from.

What's even more outrageous is that the Root organization had absolutely no information about this orphanage, not even when it passed the review or when it was built.

If they don't even know this information, then they must be even more unclear about who is actually in control of the orphanage.

The information that even Danzo, the second-in-command of Konoha, couldn't know is clearly directly related to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This orphanage was directly built by Hiruzen Sarutobi, so his own people might not be able to obtain any information about it.

There is no other possibility.

Therefore, Danzo had to get the Root organization to investigate what exactly this orphanage was.

If it's really just an ordinary orphanage, why not use the most common architectural style instead of this never-before-seen style?

Moreover, the orphanage's name, "Dream Island," sounds completely unrelated to an orphanage, raising many questions.

If Neverland isn't an orphanage, what does Hiruzen Sarutobi plan to do with it?

Danzo was curious and also had some expectations.

Regardless of the outcome, Danzo felt he could benefit from it.
