Hinata Can See the Diary

Leaf Village.

Evening.

Hyuga Clan estate.

Hinata, with her short dark blue hair and pair of white eyes, had just finished sparring with Hanabi.

Drenched in sweat, she headed to the bathroom to wash off as she always did.

As the water soaked her fair skin, she reached for the body wash, but instead, Hinata felt something hard.

It was an exquisitely crafted diary with gold-threaded edges, and on the cover was written: [Takasaki's Diary (Hinata Hyuga)]

Inside an ordinary bungalow.

Takasaki lay on a wooden bed, staring at the translucent panel before him and the diary that had suddenly appeared on his table.

After checking it several times, he finally let out a sigh of relief: "Three years after transmigrating, the system has finally arrived."

There was no point in dwelling on his past life; his current identity was an ordinary student at the Leaf Village Ninja Academy, in the same class as Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura Haruno. His parents had died long ago in the war, leaving him with a house and just enough money to scrape by.

He took another look at his home environment.

He lived in a bungalow on the outskirts of town.

The walls were lime-washed, though the paint was peeling and cracked from age.

A low-wattage bulb hung from the ceiling, casting a dim, yellowish light, with the wiring exposed.

Fortunately, the wooden floor was clean, having been mopped by Takasaki.

The mirror in the bathroom looked as if someone had punched it; it was covered in pockmarks and cracks, making it impossible to see a complete reflection of his face.

A wooden bed, a solid wood table, a few stacked stools, and a wardrobe—that was basically all the furniture Takasaki owned.

Of course, the iron pot in the kitchen, which was too small to fit two people, might fetch a few coins if he sold it.

Simply put, he was dirt poor.

The good news was that his looks were every bit as handsome as Sasuke's, and his length was sufficient to conquer every female ninja in the Ninja World.

The bad news was that his talent was truly mediocre. He couldn't even fully master the Three Body Technique, making him a "dead last" in school, just like Naruto.

Next, he needed to understand the system's functions.

As long as he wrote in the diary provided by the system, he could receive various rewards.

Moreover, the diary could be retracted into his consciousness space at any time, so he didn't have to worry about anyone else seeing its contents; he could write whatever he wanted, completely unrestrained.

It was a simple feature: he really could get stronger just by writing a diary.

Takasaki no longer wanted to be the dead last in his class, so he picked up his pen and began to write:

[Who writes a serious diary? If I'm going to write, I'm going to write some improper content.]

[Anyway, no one else can see my diary, so I'll just let loose.]

[I borrowed Hinata's notebook today. She's still the same, blushing whenever she gets shy. With her body still developing, she probably doesn't know how magnificent her figure will become, right? It'll be easy to "break" her once I marry her and bring her home.]

[There are so many beauties in the ninja world. Kurenai Yuhi-sensei, that mature woman—I could play with those beautiful legs for a year.]

[Ino, the young lady of the Yamanaka Clan, will have a figure just as good as Hinata's when she grows up. Of course, her personality is spicier than Hinata's; once we're together, I can just let her take the lead.]

[The most "illegal" figure has to be Tsunade. With that pair of snowy, bountiful granaries, my children with her will definitely never go hungry.]

[As for Sakura Haruno, she's pretty, sure, but unfortunately, she's a simp for Sasuke. I don't want her unless she becomes my simp. Since she's so good at "licking," her technique must be quite good.]

[And then there's Mei Terumi, Temari, Konan, Karin, Tenten, Hanabi... all of them are stunning kunoichi. Who should I marry?]

[Only children make choices. If I have the chance, of course, I want them all!]

[It's a good thing they can't see these improper words in my diary, otherwise, it would be hard for me to survive in the ninja world.]

[That's enough for today's entry. Time to rest; I need to return Hinata's notebook to her in a bit.]

He finished writing.

Takasaki put down his pen and waited, full of anticipation.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes passed, and no reward appeared.

Takasaki didn't panic and waited patiently. The system wouldn't lie; it probably hadn't determined if his entry was complete yet.

Ten minutes passed.

The system's voice echoed in Takasaki's mind:

[First diary entry completed.]

[Friendly reminder: As this is your first entry, you receive a reward without evaluation. Your subsequent entries will require evaluation to ensure they contain real and valid events.]

[Reward received: Chakra volume and physical stamina increased by 100%.]

[Obtained Basic Three Body Technique: Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, Transformation Technique.]

The Three Body Technique was a skill he had never been able to learn at the Ninja Academy. After all, he was just the child of civilian ninjas, and compared to those classmates with bloodline limits and family legacies, his progress had been agonizingly slow.

He had even been worrying about the Ninja Academy graduation exam three days away.

Now, the situation was different.

Takasaki felt a warm current washing over his body, flowing through him in the form of chakra and merging into his cells.

His previously exhausted body became brimming with vitality.

Energy surged through his entire being.

His physical state was so good that he wanted to find someone to fight with ninjutsu right now!

Takasaki had paid close attention to the system's gentle reminder.

In other words, the next diary entry had to record a real and valid event to receive a reward.

It didn't seem difficult.

However, Takasaki's attention was currently focused on the ninjutsu he had acquired, and he couldn't wait to try them out.

"Clone Technique!"

Takasaki immediately formed the hand seals, and a puff of smoke appeared beside him.

As the smoke cleared, an exact replica of him stood there.

He then proceeded to use the Substitution Technique and the Transformation Technique, mastering them perfectly.

The Three Body Technique could not be called a sophisticated ninjutsu, but it was the foundation for many others and possessed strong practical combat capabilities.

The key was that it would allow his grades to improve from being the dead last in the class to successfully graduating.

After his chakra reserves doubled, his total amount of chakra could not be called abundant, but it had reached the average level for his class.

Of course, he couldn't compare to Naruto.

After all, Naruto had the Nine-Tails as a cheat code.

His own cheat wasn't bad either.

This was only the first diary entry, and he believed the future rewards would only increase.

Although he had mastered the Three Body Technique, he wasn't proficient yet.

He planned to practice the Three Body Technique more thoroughly today to lay a solid foundation.

"Clone Technique!"

Takasaki formed the hand seals again, only to find that he couldn't successfully execute the Clone Technique; if he forced it, he would feel a sense of dizziness.

"What's going on?"

"Where is the problem?"

With a thought, Takasaki opened his character attribute page.

[Name: Takasaki]
[Age: 12]
[Ninjutsu: Level 1 Clone Technique (1/100) (6 chakra points), Level 1 Substitution Technique (1/100) (6 chakra points), Level 1 Transformation Technique (1/100) (6 chakra points)]
[Chakra: 2/20 (1 point recovered every 2 minutes)]
[Stamina: 20 (1 point recovered every 3 minutes)]

He understood.

His chakra reserves were insufficient to perform the Clone Technique again; otherwise, he would fall into a state of shock from chakra exhaustion, which could be life-threatening.

He had to admit, this civilian ninja body was truly quite trashy.

Since he was idle anyway, Takasaki simply began to study his personal attributes.

"I didn't understand the content in the first set of parentheses after each ninjutsu, but I understood the second; it means the amount of chakra required to use that ninjutsu."

"I just used the Three Body Technique one by one, consuming 18 points of chakra, and now I have 2 points left, which matches up."

"By the way, what does the level before each ninjutsu mean?"

Takasaki focused his attention on the level of the Clone Technique, and the next second, a system prompt appeared.

[Gentle Reminder: The base level for every ninjutsu you learn is Level 1. You can increase the level by training to gain proficiency. Level 2 ninjutsu will consume half the chakra and increase power by 50%. Level 3 ninjutsu will double casting speed and increase power by 100%. Level 4 ninjutsu will increase power by 200%. Level 5 ninjutsu will trigger additional effects.]

[Each time you use a ninjutsu, you gain one point of proficiency.]

[When proficiency reaches 100 points, the corresponding ninjutsu can be upgraded to Level 2; 200 points for Level 3; 500 points for Level 4; 1000 points for Level 5.]

Understood.

It was just a matter of grinding for proficiency.

Takasaki wasn't in a rush to grind for proficiency immediately; he planned to write another diary entry to see what kind of reward he could get.

The problem was, just as he picked up his pen to write the second entry, the system's voice echoed in his mind:

[Gentle Reminder: The Clone Technique must reach Level 3 to unlock the permission to write the next diary entry.]

Takasaki realized what was happening.

So, the diary couldn't be written in at any time; there was a ninjutsu rank restriction, requiring one to reach the corresponding level first.

Takasaki could see through his mind that each ninjutsu rank had a progress bar, and currently, the progress bars for the Three Body Technique were all at 1/100.

"Grind!"

"It is both to make my own ninjutsu stronger and to unlock the writing permissions for the next diary entry."

If he didn't grow strong as quickly as possible, once the ninja world war broke out, Pain could just carry a sack of rice and crush him to death with it.

Hyuga Clan estate.

In the bathroom, Hinata tilted her head, examining the diary in her hands: "Why would Takasaki's diary appear in my home? And why is my name on it?"
