"Sakamoto, you explained it so well. You've cleared up my doubts from before."
At Konoha Hospital, Yakushi Nono walked over to Tatsuma, who was holding his ribs, carrying a notebook, a bottle of water, and a drink, smiling as she spoke to him.
"Cough, cough... Thanks, cough."
Tatsuma started coughing. If it weren't for Tsunade sparing his life, he would probably have been hammered to death. Indeed, one shouldn't expose others' weaknesses, especially when they are weaker than you.
"Sakamoto, you've been coughing all day. Are you injured?"
Nono asked with concern, handing him the drink and saying, "Here, have some water."
Tatsuma nodded, not refusing, took a few sips of water to catch his breath, and then said, "Are you planning to become a medical ninja?"
"Hmm."
Nono nodded vigorously, then continued, "That's also part of the reason."
Hearing this, Tatsuma looked puzzled. Judging from Nono's tone, the main reason for attending the trial class wasn't to delve deep into the medical field.
Nono didn't conceal anything and said, "Although the war didn't break out in the Land of Fire, there are still many war orphans in the surrounding areas due to the war."
"By joining Tsunade-sama's training class, I won't have to go on team missions outside the village, so I'll have more time to help at the orphanage."
"I haven't been back to the orphanage in many years."
The so-called orphanage is the Konoha Orphanage, but since the term "orphanage" has negative connotations, even though everyone knows it as such, they try to avoid mentioning it and instead use the term "welfare home."
Tatsuma's original self was also taken in by the orphanage. Early education was also conducted there, but he was a bit brighter and could live independently early on. Therefore, he switched to village support, freeing up space in the orphanage to accommodate other orphans.
However, those memories were too distant for Tatsuma to recall clearly. Perhaps he had met Nono and even Minato earlier, but he had forgotten.
Tatsuma suddenly frowned and asked, "It must be difficult for the orphanage these days. The village subsidies haven't been distributed yet, and there are more war orphans."
Nono nodded, her smile fading. "Yes, but there are still kind-hearted people who voluntarily provide support, which can sustain us for a while."
Hearing this, Tatsuma nodded. His commission fee from the war hadn't been paid yet, but he had some savings from the visit to the Daimyo's estate. He looked up and said, "I probably don't have much time to visit the director and my siblings. If it's possible, after the practical class, could you accompany me to the bank? I'll also contribute some funds."
"Sakamoto, I'm not..."
Nono became somewhat flustered. She feared Tatsuma might misunderstand her intentions for having this conversation, but Tatsuma waved his hand and said, "That's settled then. After all, I can't take care of them like you do. I can only help in a more ordinary way."
Upon hearing this, Nono looked at Tatsuma for a moment before saying, "Thank you."
Tatsuma nodded, avoiding Nono's shining eyes. He coughed twice and said, "Cough... Let's get ready for the practical class. Your practical performance will be more convincing to the village for Sensei's proposal than theory."
"I understand. I'll do my best."
Nono nodded vigorously, speaking earnestly. Then she returned to her seat, reviewing the theoretical content Tatsuma had taught, occasionally taking a sip from her water bottle.
