Chapter 259:
Yakushi Nono, trained by Danzo from a young age, had become one of Konoha's top spies under his tutelage.
Her espionage missions were exemplary, and in less than two years, she earned the title of "Wandering Miko."
However, she never shared Danzo's ideology.
When the Second Shinobi War ended prematurely due to Orochimaru's intervention, Nono resigned from Danzo's Root division without hesitation.
She moved to the western border of the Land of Fire and established this orphanage to care for war orphans.
Running an orphanage was no small feat. Raising children, even during times of war, required significant resources for food, clothing, and shelter.
While Orochimaru had given her 10 million ryo, Nono viewed that money as a last resort and refrained from using it unless absolutely necessary.
As a result, most of the orphanage's funding came from Konoha.
