Chapter 261:
In her current situation, Nono didn't need to fear Danzo's threats.
After all, not only did she now possess Magnet Release, but she also commanded a small army of clones as subordinates.
With such strength at her disposal, Danzo bringing only three people wasn't much of a concern.
However, neither Magnet Release nor the clones could solve her financial problems. Supporting the orphanage required money, and in the long run, she still had to rely on Konoha's aid.
Moreover, she felt that revealing the existence of the clones to anyone in Konoha, especially someone like Danzo—might bring trouble for Orochimaru.
This was why, despite her newfound power, she chose not to bargain with Danzo earlier.
When he made his demand, Nono had been carefully thinking about how to carry out the mission without compromising the orphanage. She was even preparing how to explain her decision to Orochimaru.
But then, Orochimaru had appeared out of nowhere.
With just a few words, he had persuaded Danzo to retreat, a result Nono had never dared to imagine.
