Nonō Yakushi

was an ANBU from Konohagakure and a former member of Root. Sometime after leaving Root, she became a caretaker of orphans at an unspecified location

Background
While out one day, she found a wounded child near a deserted village. She healed the young man and brought him back with her to the orphanage. As the child could not remember anything, at Urushi's behest, she named the child Kabuto for the helmet he was wearing at the time. One night when he was caught out of bed past curfew, the other caretakers brought him to the clock in order to teach him time. Noticing that he was squinting, she took off her own glasses and gave them to him. This caused the young Kabuto to break down crying, thanking her for everything as she comforted him.

Three years after taking Kabuto in, the orphanage was treating wounded Konoha shinobi, with Orochimaru taking an interest in Kabuto. Root leader Danzō Shimura with two Root guards approached Nonō with a proposition; infiltrate Iwagakure and gather information on their plans, or the orphanage will be attacked by agents of Root. Nonō agreed to work with them before learning that Kabuto, who had spied on the meeting, agreed to train in Konoha as well. Five years into Kabuto's work in Konoha, he was sent on a mission to infiltrate Iwa where Nonō attacked him but was critically wounded as a result. A panicking Kabuto tried to treat her wounds, but Nonō no longer recognized him.

Personality
From all indications, she is a very kind and calm woman, taking in Kabuto and then later begging for them to let him stay even when they could not afford it. She also displays a great capacity for generosity, giving the young Kabuto her glasses.

Appearance
She is a young woman with shoulder-length light-coloured hair covered by a coif and light-coloured eyes. She wore a black, loose-fitting gown with a white apron over it with sandals. She also wore circular glasses before giving them to Kabuto.

Abilities
Not much is known about her abilities other than she is able to use enough medical ninjutsu to heal wounds.

Intelligence
Nonō was regarded as being a elite Shinobi in the Intelligence department and regarded as one of Roots Finest according to Danzō Shimura, so much so that he stated even though she werent of root anymore she was the only shinobi he could trust with the task of infultrating the Hidden Rock Village.
