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

Meanwhile, at the Misty Hidden Frontline.

Tsunade pulled Night Star behind a big tree and asked in a low voice.

"Does the name Nawaki mean anything to you?"

Night Star is response was something Tsunade did not expect at all.

"Can I ask you something first?"

Night Star looked puzzled and confused.

"Who are you?"

Tsunade froze for a moment, thinking, "You've written in your diary about me being soft and fair, and yet you don't know who I am?"

But then she considered that the other party might not actually know that what they wrote in their diary could be read by others.

Moreover, the two of them had never met before.

This meant that, logically, since she hadn't introduced herself, Night Star truly didn't know who she was.

"This kid really has a deep mind."

Seeing Night Star is seemingly genuine expression, Tsunade thought to herself that the line written in his diary about his impeccable acting wasn't an exaggeration.

This level of acting could be described as flawless.

"I'm Tsunade. You should have heard of me."

"Tsunade..."

Night Star pretended to think about the name and, after a while, looked up with a slight smile and said.

"Oh, Lady Tsunade, one of the Sannin. A pleasure to meet you."

Tsunade was genuinely puzzled.

Based on the diary's contents, Night Star Uchiha personality should be proud, arrogant, and cold.

But now, standing in front of her, he exuded a completely gentle demeanor.

Adding to his striking appearance, which even she found hard not to admire, Night Star is personal charm seemed to surpass that of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

So, which one was the real Night Star Uchiha?

"Let's skip the pleasantries."

Tsunade waved her hand and spoke in a deep voice.

"Have you heard of the name Nawaki?"

This time, Night Star didn't hesitate and nodded directly.

"Yes, I heard from my clan. He was your younger brother and died on the battlefield, right?"

"That's right."

Recalling the scene of her brother's death, Tsunade's fair shoulders trembled slightly.

She took several deep breaths, suppressing the pain in her heart, and looked Night Star straight in the eyes, speaking slowly.

"Does Nawaki is death have anything to do with the village's higher-ups?"

She tried to find the answer she wanted in the subtle changes in Night Star is expression.

But to Tsunade's disappointment.

Even when he heard her suddenly say such a shocking statement, there wasn't a ripple in his eyes. He simply smiled and replied.

"Lady Tsunade, how would I know about something like that?"

Just as Tsunade was feeling disappointed, Night Star leaned close to her ear and spoke softly.

"Even if I knew the truth about this matter, why would I risk my safety and that of the Uchiha clan to tell you the truth?"

As he spoke, his breath brushed against Tsunade's fair, jade-like ear, faintly showing blue veins, causing her cheeks to flush red.

At this moment, however, Tsunade couldn't focus on the sudden intimate gesture and the embarrassment it brought. She quickly asked.

"Do you mean to say that my brother Nawaki is death indeed has some suspicious aspects?"

Night Star didn't answer Tsunade's question directly but instead asked her.

"What kind of ninja was Nawaki?"

Tsunade hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Although he was only a Genin, because he had been trained by the Senju clan since childhood, he was somewhat impulsive in character but could be considered a qualified ninja."

"How many ninjas did the explosive tag trap kill at that time?"

Tsunade murmured in response.

"Only Nawaki."

"What has Konoha Village traditionally done to prevent possible traps on the battlefield?"

"It's... it's to have members of the Hyuga clan with Byakugan conduct reconnaissance in advance."

"Then why, in Nawaki is team, wasn't there a Hyuga ninja conducting reconnaissance?"

Hearing this, Tsunade's beautiful eyes widened as she covered her mouth and lowered her voice.

"Are you suggesting..."

"I have no suggestion."

Night Star waved his hand, cutting off Tsunade's words, and spoke in a calm tone.

"I'm merely pointing out all the strange signs behind Nawaki is death. As for how you interpret it, that's your own matter and has nothing to do with me."

Seeing Tsunade's incredulous expression, Night Star smiled, shrugged indifferently, and said.

"Assuming—I'm just saying hypothetically—that Nawaki is death was orchestrated by the village's higher-ups, what would you do? Kill everyone involved to avenge your brother?"

"I... I..."

Listening to Night Star is sharp question, Tsunade's lips trembled, yet she couldn't utter a single word.

Killing was something she strongly resisted.

Even though, when reading the diary, she had made a vow in her heart in a fit of rage that she would avenge her brother, even if it meant killing her teacher.

But as this possibility grew stronger and closer to the truth, Tsunade began to hesitate.

Seeing her unable to answer and looking conflicted, Night Star just smiled, turned, and left, leaving behind a single sentence.

"If you're not prepared, knowing the truth will only add unnecessary pain to yourself."

"Come back to me when you've made up your mind."
