Writing a Diary in the Shinobi World, and the Kunoichi Are Shocked

Seeing this paragraph, Kurenai Yuhi and Yūgao Uzuki exchanged glances, both noticing a strong sense of jealousy in each other's eyes.

At the same time, they found it quite absurd.

Lady Tsunade must be around forty years old by now, right?

Due to the excessive strain on their bodies, ninjas often look even older than they actually are.

Lady Tsunade's face probably already has wrinkles, doesn't it?

So, Night Star prefers this kind of older woman?

This preference is honestly hard to accept.

"Yo, Yūgao, Kurenai, you're here too?"

Hearing this youthful and energetic voice, the two women didn't even need to look up to know who it was.

"Guy."

However, when they saw Kakashi Hatake standing beside Might Guy, wearing an Anbu uniform and a mask, they felt a bit surprised.

Ever since Rin Nohara's death, Kakashi had joined the Anbu and rarely interacted with peers from his generation.

On this path filled with darkness, he had walked too far and could barely return.

At this moment, a green flash of light appeared in Kakashi's vision, wearing a tight green bodysuit.

And forcibly dragged him out for breakfast.

"Kurenai, Yūgao."

Kakashi nodded slightly, greeting them in a calm tone.

Yūgao and Kurenai exchanged glances and simultaneously asked in unison:

"By the way, do you know what kind of girls Night Star likes?"

"Likes?"

Might Guy's thick eyebrows twitched as he gave a thumbs-up.

"Night Star is just like me, wholeheartedly dedicated to pursuing the path of youth. How could he be distracted by such matters!?"

"So the answer is, he doesn't like girls!"

Hearing this answer, Yūgao rolled her eyes at Might Guy.

She had already guessed asking him would be pointless.

"Kakashi, do you know?"

Kakashi was silent for a moment, as if recalling something, and only after a while did he speak slowly.

"Night Star once mentioned that in this ninja world, one's own strength is the most important thing."

Hearing Kakashi's words, the two women showed thoughtful expressions.

So...

Night Star likes strong kunoichi?

It turns out what attracted him to Tsunade wasn't her figure or looks but the formidable strength of one of the Sannin?

No wonder. That makes sense now.

However, upon further thought, Yūgao and Kurenai both felt somewhat defeated.

As a direct subordinate of the Hokage's Anbu unit, Yūgao's situation was better; at least she was a special jōnin, nominally on the same level as Night Star.

Kurenai, on the other hand, was worse off she was still just an ordinary chūnin.

To be honest, becoming a chūnin at sixteen was already quite rare, especially as a genjutsu-type ninja. Her talent could be considered outstanding.

It's just that her generation of peers was full of monsters.

People like Kakashi Hatake and Night Star Uchiha didn't even need to be mentioned.

Asuma Sarutobi had already passed the exam to become a jōnin.

Yūgao Uzuki and Hayate Gekkō both joined the Anbu in their teens and were selected for the Third Hokage's personal guard.

Even Obito Uchiha, who had always been considered the underdog, awakened dual tomoe Sharingan during the mission to destroy Kannabi Bridge.

In comparison, Kurenai's talent indeed seemed lacking.

Realizing this, a trace of gloom appeared between her brows. She stood up and forced a smile.

"I have something to do, so I'll head back first."

"Hey, Kurenai..."

Yūgao called out, but Kurenai didn't even turn her head, leaving the shop and returning home.

As soon as she entered, she saw her father, Shinku Yūhi, a Konoha jōnin, packing his luggage, seemingly preparing for a long trip.

"Father, where are you going?"

Shinku looked up at his daughter and smiled as he replied.

"The batch of ninjas on the Kirigakure front line is scheduled to withdraw tomorrow, so the village has arranged for others to replace them."

"You're heading to the battlefield..."

Seeing her father's worried expression, Shinku laughed carefreely, patting her on the shoulder.

"As ninjas, it's our duty to fight in wars. Don't worry. Kirigakure's forces were severely weakened after losing a near-hundred-man unit, so they shouldn't launch another attack anytime soon."

Hearing her father mention this, Kurenai couldn't help but ask the question lingering in her mind.

"Father."

She looked directly into Shinku's eyes, her expression serious as she asked.

"On the night of the Nine-Tails' attack, were you saved by Night Star Uchiha?"

Seeing Kurenai's expression, Shinku knew his daughter had already guessed the answer.

He sighed helplessly.

"That did happen, but..."

Lowering his voice, he continued.

"The village leadership issued a gag order to all ninjas involved in the battle, forbidding anyone from mentioning this incident. You mustn't bring it up in front of others."

Kurenai frowned, puzzled.

"Why? Night Star saved you and the other ninjas. Why would the village want to hide this?"

Shinku gave a bitter smile, patting her shoulder and speaking earnestly.

"You'll understand when you grow up."

"Some things in the village are not as simple as they seem on the surface."
