Nono had carried out countless high-difficulty missions in the ninja world, and was very good at reading people's expressions, so she silently stopped talking to Ningxia.

Even though she couldn't help but open up to Ningxia and talk about many topics she wouldn't normally reveal, she couldn't cause Ningxia any trouble.

"Lord Ningxia, thank you so much! You're like an angel! If there's anything I can do for you in the future, I... I'll definitely help!"

For Nonoyu now, every little bit counts, and she must fight for it. For the sake of the children's healthy growth, she must please Ningxia in front of her.

Ningxia understood why Nonoyu was acting this way and interrupted her with a light laugh.

Please do not regard me as an angel, for the true angels are before me.

With a teasing tone, Ningxia casually adjusted Nono's glasses and handed her the Ouroboros company's check.

"well?"

Nonou was taken aback by Ningxia's sudden intimate gesture, and a strange, inexplicable emotion welled up inside her.

And then there's Ningxia's statement that the real angel... is himself?

"well!!!"

Nonou didn't come to her senses until Ningxia left, and involuntarily let out a low moan of shame, like a kettle boiling. It was the first time she had been teased like this, and... she didn't hate it.

Thinking back to my brief time with Ningxia, even though we only met today, it felt just like the stories she told the children.

When the female protagonist is in dire straits and despair, the prince will descend from the sky like a hero.

Nonou shook her head. What was she thinking? Ningxia was probably just joking. It would be rude of her to take it seriously!

Although she knew the truth, Nonou's heart had been unconsciously influenced by Ningxia. Suppressing this strange emotion, Nonou finally had time to look at the check.

When she saw the number on the check, Nono instinctively thought her nearsightedness had worsened, so she wiped her glasses and looked at it more closely.

But no matter how you look at it, the number is still two zeros more than what she expected.

If she were frugal, this money would be enough to operate the orphanage for three years, and it could also buy the children new warm quilts, as well as various necessities that should have been purchased long ago.

Nonou's first reaction wasn't surprise, but bewilderment. She wanted to catch up with Ningxia and ask if she had accidentally written too many zeros.

"Dean Nono."

Bai blocked Nono's way. Although Ningxia and Nono had been chatting and laughing, which made her a little uncomfortable, she knew how great Nono was, having been a wanderer herself.

Therefore, her respect for Nonou outweighed any slight resentment towards her.

"Sister Bai, you've come at the right time. Just now, was Lord Ningxia...?"

Nonou was anxious to return the check, but Bai said that this was the amount Ningxia was going to give, and it should be considered a small gift.

In addition, he would write a letter of introduction for Nono, and as long as she took the check to a bank under the name of Ouroboros, she could get Ouroboros' help.

Nono didn't quite understand these things, but she knew it was Ningxia's help.

"Sister Bai, please...please thank Lord Ningxia for me. I...I will repay this debt with my life!"

Bai frowned slightly, interrupting and correcting Nonoyu, explaining that Ningxia helped Nonoyu because he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see children living in poverty.

Therefore, Nono doesn't need to worry about how to repay Ningxia; Ningxia doesn't need it.

"Is that so...?"

Nono also realized that Ningxia could give away such a large sum of money so easily, and she was also related to the Ouroboros Company, which was all over the ninja world. How could she possibly care about an old woman like her?

"But... please thank Lord Ningxia for me."

Nono pushed up her glasses and made a solemn request.

"I will."

Ningxia didn't care what her unintentional goodwill might bring, and went to the ninja tool shop to pick up the Flying Thunder God kunai she had ordered.

"Brother Ningxia!"

A cute little girl with her hair in a bun, looking adorable, skipped and hopped to welcome Ningxia.

Ningxia smiled and responded to Tiantian, reaching out to pat her little head before asking about Kuwu's situation.

"Hmph~ I was already prepared!"

She proudly stands with her hands on her hips every day, looking charming and adorable.

Every day, Ningxia was led to the back of the ninja tool shop, where she took out a large box of kunai. Naruto was currently tinkering with the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Ningxia had prepared kunai for her in advance.

"Thank you, Tian Tian."

Although Ningxia wasn't a ninja, she knew that the kunai were well-made and made with high-quality materials. She praised the quality of Tenten's kunai while touching her bun.

After playing with the energetic little girl for a while, Ningxia took the scroll home.

"Hey! Ningxia."

Just as Ningxia and Xiyan were discussing what to eat for dinner, a lewd voice came from behind. Ningxia glanced at Jiraiya, who was leaning against the wall with a bruised and swollen face. He had obviously had an accident while gathering material.

Faced with Jiraiya's lewd smile, Ningxia took a half-step back in disgust.

"Hey! Are you serious about taking half a step back?!"

Jiraiya was also very angry. He had helped Ningxia a lot when Ningxia was studying medicine with Tsunade.

For example, he was beaten and suffered a broken bone for peeping, and he volunteered to be a test subject for Ningxia.

He occasionally worked part-time as a drug tester. Once, he took a muscle-building drug from Ningxia, and his head became very spiky for several months.

Although it was because he couldn't afford the medical bills, that's why he settled his debts this way...

"Jiraiya, spit it out."

Ningxia shrugged, not giving Jiraiya a friendly look, but Jiraiya didn't seem to mind.

He stayed because he had promised Minato that he would keep watch in Minato's place until Danzo revealed everything.

Secondly, he wanted to see Naruko, since she was his student's daughter, and he had to meet her at least once.

"I want to see Naruko."

Ningxia didn't refuse either, and Jiraiya kept talking the whole way, but most of the conversation focused on the other two teammates.

"How are things between you and Tsunade?"

Jiraiya asked casually, others might not know, but he knew all too well that Tsunade was concerned about Ningxia.

Back in Konoha, Tsunade knew everything about Ningxia – who she contacted, how long they talked, and what they talked about – even better than the Anbu.

After leaving, Tsunade immediately went to Ningxia and then followed Ningxia closely every day.

At that time, many noblewomen were eager to go to Ningxia, but without exception, they were all rejected by Tsunade.

Even Orochimaru knew what Tsunade was planning, but the problem was...

Ningxia treats Tsunade like a NEET older sister. Although he complains about her, no matter how useless he is, he will still take care of Tsunade for the rest of his life.

Tsunade is a giant in action, but she's sharp-tongued and can't bring herself to say things like "I like you" clearly, so the two sides are stuck in a stalemate.
