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

The women watching the diary were all stunned when they saw this sentence.

Tsunade never expected that after she left the village, her teacher would secretly do such a thing.

Sacrificing hundreds of lives just to replicate a ninja with Wood Release powers like her grandfather, Hashirama Senju?

Tsunade shook her head, her beautiful eyes filled with a complex expression.

It's true that the First Hokage's Wood Release was an incredibly powerful force, capable even of suppressing the Nine-Tails.

But even as Hashirama's direct descendant, the Princess of the Senju Clan, Tsunade herself didn't inherit the Wood Release.

In the history of the Senju Clan, only Hashirama Senju was able to wield Wood Release.

This proves that Wood Release wasn't a power within the Senju bloodline but rather a unique strength of the First Hokage himself.

For Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Third Hokage, to secretly conduct experiments involving cell transplants using the village's own ninjas as test subjects?

This would be considered an extremely serious crime throughout the entire ninja world!

Not to mention, as a medical ninja, Tsunade found such disregard for human life utterly abhorrent.

"Indeed, leaving the Hidden Leaf Village was the best decision I've ever made."

Meanwhile, in the Land of Rain, Konan maintained her usual cold expression, her heart filled with disdain.

"The great nations truly are great, even willing to sacrifice their own village's ninjas so casually. It's disgusting."

As for Mei Terumi,

She also found the matter absurd and wanted to mock the old and confused Third Hokage.

But then she thought again.

The Hidden Mist Village she belonged to had implemented a cruel policy known as the "Bloody Mist." The annual graduation exams alone, which involved mutual killing, led to the deaths of hundreds of students.

Especially after the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, came to power, this situation became even more severe.

In essence, what Hiruzen Sarutobi did wasn't fundamentally different from that.

At the same time, in the Hokage's office in the Hidden Leaf Village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat behind a large desk, looking worriedly at the battle reports sent back from the frontlines.

After the Nine-Tails' attack, the Hidden Leaf Village had suffered immense losses in strength.

Originally ranking mid-tier among the Five Great Ninja Villages, it was now competing with the Hidden Sand for the last place.

To make matters worse, the Hidden Mist and Hidden Cloud Villages, seeing the Leaf's weakened state, immediately launched wars.

The only consolation was that the Hidden Cloud's actions were more bark than bite; neither the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki nor the Fourth Raikage had appeared on the battlefield, likely just trying to profit from the war.

This was typical of the Hidden Cloud's behavior.

But as for the Hidden Mist, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't make sense of their hostility.

Why did the Hidden Mist harbor such intense animosity towards the Leaf?

A few years ago, in an attempt to sabotage the Hidden Leaf, they had even implanted the Three-Tails into a medical kunoichi named Rin Nohara.

It's well known that a tailed beast is the most critical strategic weapon for any ninja village.

For the Hidden Mist to do something like this was akin to self-destruction.

Moreover, during the Third Great Ninja War, the Hidden Mist's Seven Ninja Swordsmen had already suffered significant losses, with four of them killed by Might Duy.

Wouldn't it make more sense for them to focus on recuperation?

But judging by the reports from the frontlines, the Hidden Mist seemed hell-bent on fighting the Leaf!

The only thing that comforted Hiruzen Sarutobi was the extraordinary talent displayed by a young Uchiha boy named Shisui in this war.

Although Shisui was only ten years old this year, his strength was already remarkable, earning him the nickname "Shisui of the Body Flicker."

"Indeed, the descendants of Kagami all possess the Will of Fire," Hiruzen thought to himself. If only all members of the Uchiha Clan were like Shisui, steadfastly upholding the Will of Fire, how wonderful it would be.

Just then, an ANBU member suddenly burst into the office, looking tense as he reported.

"Hokage-sama, Uchiha Yaxing has left the clan grounds and is heading toward this building!"

"Hm?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned upon hearing this and pondered for a moment before waving his hand.

"If he's coming to see me, do not stop him."

"But, Hokage-sama..."

Hiruzen cast a sharp glance at the ANBU member and said in a deep voice.

"I trust that Yaxing harbors no ill intent toward me. You all must stop holding such prejudices against the Uchiha Clan."

"I... I understand, Hokage-sama."

This moment highlighted why Hiruzen Sarutobi became Hokage while Danzo Shimura remained in the shadows.

Both were disciples of Tobirama Senju, and their attitudes toward the Uchiha were essentially the same.

The difference lay in this:

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew how to conceal his thoughts.

Before long, Yaxing entered the office, accompanied by several ANBU members.

Judging by their expressions, the ANBU seemed to be on high alert, ready to act at any moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, however, showed no such tension. He stood up and greeted Yaxing with a smile.

"Yaxing, what brings you here to see me today?"

"Third Hokage-sama."

Yaxing smiled as he greeted him and simultaneously wrote a line in his diary.

[Heh, the old man is really putting on a kind and amiable act.]
