To be honest, Lei Luo was not too surprised by Nohara and Nonoyu's thoughts. After all, he had understood Nonoyu's character in his previous life and knew that she was a woman who looked smart and wise but was actually gentle and considerate.
.
From the animation, Lei Luo can see from the way Noonoyu took care of the young children meticulously when he was the director of the orphanage. He was no different from the Virgin Mary in the traditional sense.
As for Nohara, although Lei Luo didn't know the relationship between her and Nohara Lin in later generations, this did not prevent him from observing and concluding that the other party also belonged to the Holy Mother's nature.
Because of him, these two saints came together by chance, which can be regarded as a kind of fate.
With similar interests, after they communicated and encouraged each other, even if they came up with any unrealistic ideas and planned to put them into practical actions, Lei Luo didn't think it was strange.
The only thing he didn't expect was that they actually planned to use him to achieve their goals.
Of course, this kind of relationship is not in-depth. Judging from the request Nohara just made, Lei Luo believes that these two women are quite measured and do not touch his bottom line of interests too much.
Therefore, considering the favor he owed to Nohara, Lei Luo decided to help them in order to repay the favor no matter how unwilling he was to do such a thankless thing.
"You want to build an orphanage together. There is nothing inherently wrong with that. After all, it is also a good thing that benefits the village."
First, he lightly affirmed the legitimacy of their actions, Lei Luo paused for a moment, and seeing that both Nohara and Nonoyu were listening carefully, he continued:
"But have you ever thought about it, if you just mess around with a public welfare institution like this from a private standpoint without official support, it is absolutely impossible for you to set it up."
With that said, Lei Luo pointed at himself, changed the subject, and poured cold water on them without hesitation: "On this point, even if I are added, the result will still not change at all."
Hearing Lei Luo's conclusion, Nohara's face fell slightly, and there was a faint feeling of disapproval in his eyes.
But there was no obvious change in Nonoyu's expression. He just continued to look at Lei Luo with focused eyes, as if waiting for the latter to continue.
From this point, it seems that the difference between Nohara and Nonoyu can be seen. After all, the former is a doctor who has been in the hospital for a long time.
Whether it is his vision or his calmness of character, he is far different from Nonoyu who started working as a spy when he was only seven or eight years old.
Although, Nohara is nearly ten years older than Nonoyu.
Taking in all the expressions of the two, Lei Luo sighed secretly in his heart, and then stopped talking about it and threw out his thoughts:
"Let me explain in advance that I am not a public figure. I am just a ninja with some strength and a reputation outside."
"There may be a large number of low-level ninjas in the village who pay attention to me, worship me, and admire me, but they are essentially in awe of my power. Apart from that, there are no other factors at play."
"And this..." After a moment of pause, Lei Luo shook his head slowly and patiently explained:
"It's not enough for others to support all my actions, especially things that involve their personal interests."
In Lei Luo's view, if you want to successfully build a large orphanage, you must spend a lot of money. Now is the war era, and all the tasks of the ninjas are basically linked to combat.
Under this situation, Lei Luo didn't think that ordinary low-level ninjas would spend their hard-earned savings, or even their lives in exchange for mission rewards, to build an inexplicable orphanage just for a word from him.
Yes, it's just baffling.
Because as far as Lei Luo knows, most Konoha ninjas today actually don't need such a public welfare organization at all.
First of all, it's not that there are no orphanages in Konoha, but they are very small, and the ones adopted are basically orphans whose parents were Konoha ninjas before they were alive.
The reason why the scale is small is because the children of the Ninja clan will still have their family elders to take care of them even if their parents die.
As for civilian ninjas, as long as they don't lose their lives just after having a child, the wealth they have accumulated from many years of performing missions is enough to buy a house in the village for their children to live in.
Even if their parents are dead, it is not too difficult for these orphans to live alone because they have a house and some relatives and friends who helped them during their parents' lifetime.
This is essentially the case for Lei Luo and Lei Tong. Although Lei Luo's predecessor did not remember any relatives or friends taking care of their brothers when they were young, this did not prevent them from growing up smoothly with the help of their parents' savings.
Especially "Lei Luo", he has grown far beyond the imagination of everyone who knew him in the past.
Therefore, unless the child is born without any relatives and has no place to live, no elder in his right mind would be willing to send a child who is related to him to an orphanage.
In addition to this, there is another important reason that limits its current scale: that is, unless there are special reasons, Konoha Orphanage will never take in orphans from outside the village.
After all, welfare benefits are always internal but not external.
There is nothing wrong with the minds of Konoha's top brass. It is impossible to spend limited resources to raise some war orphans who have no connection with the village.
No matter how miserable those children live, no matter how much they make people cry, Konoha is not a charity after all, and the fate of people outside the village is not within the scope of consideration by people inside the village.
Only on this point, from the top management of Konoha to the ordinary ninjas and low-level civilians, everyone's position is the same.
Therefore, the "customer group" of Konoha Orphanage has never been large, and this is also the reason why its scale has remained small. Because the audience is only a few people, there is no need to expand its scale.
No one in this world is a fool. No matter how many civilian ninjas respect him, Lei Luo, Lei Luo still doesn’t think that others will pay for themselves and then spend money to build such a useless institution.
Money earned through hard work and life.
Similarly, Nonoyu and Nohara are not fools. They should not be unable to understand the situation in the village.
Therefore, in Lei Luo's view, the reason why these two Madonnas still proposed to build a large orphanage must have their own internal reasons:
Nohara may have been taking care of some children in the village for a long time, so his heart was overflowing with maternal love, and he wanted to do something practical to change the current bad situation. To put it simply, it was idealism.
Nonoyu's motives are very subtle. She is different from Nohara. As a top spy in the root, Nonoyu can be said to be well-informed and knows exactly what kind of life people outside the village, especially those orphans, live.
What life.
It's hard to say...whether Nonoyu may have had some unnecessary sympathy for the orphans outside the village, and then encouraged Nohara to make this decision with her.
