In the Land of Hot Water, at an izakaya, Tsunade's ample breasts rested on the tea table. Half-drunk from drinking, she was discussing where to go gambling next with Shizune.
Tsunade wasn't willing to accept having lost a whole box of money.
Surely she couldn't be this unlucky every time.
Next time, she'd definitely win it all back!
Then she thought of the diary and abruptly changed the subject. "Shizune, do you know anyone named Takasaki?"
"Takasaki?"
Shizune's heart skipped a beat. Then she shook her head. "No, I don't."
She actually wanted to meet Takasaki too, and try getting to know him. Maybe if he wrote her name in his diary a few more times, she'd receive more rewards.
She really didn't know who Takasaki was, either.
There was no way to tell which country Takasaki was from based on just the first diary entry.
"This Takasaki guy really makes me feel offended," Tsunade muttered.
The next second,
she suddenly sensed something.
It was an indescribable, wondrous feeling that let her immediately sense that the diary hidden in her mental space was being updated.
Takasaki was writing his second diary entry!
Tsunade, who had been half-drunk moments ago, seemed to perk up instantly.
She didn't take out the diary right away.
The diary had warned her before never to let anyone else know its secret, or she would die immediately.
She had no doubt that the diary was capable of that.
So she had to find somewhere private to read it.
"I'm going to the restroom."
"I'm going to the restroom."
Tsunade and Shizune both stood up and spoke at almost the same time, then froze.
Shizune clearly knew Tsunade's reason was the same as hers. Of course, she couldn't say that, so she smiled and said, "I drank too much. I need to pee."
"This liquor really does make you pee," Tsunade said, not thinking much of it as she hurried toward the restroom.
Once inside a stall, she didn't even bother pretending. Without taking off her pants, she immediately pulled out the diary and opened it to read.
Konoha.
After dinner, Sakura Haruno went out for a stroll.
At this time of day, she would usually wander around Sasuke's house, hoping to bump into him by chance, pretend their meeting was a coincidence, and smoothly turn it into a date.
This time, though, a different thought popped into her head.
Should she try going to hang out with Takasaki?
Putting aside the fact that Takasaki was the dead-last in their class, he was actually pretty good-looking.
More importantly, if she spent some time with Takasaki, maybe he'd write about her in his next diary entry and she'd get more rewards.
Whenever she thought of the promiscuous things Takasaki had written in his first diary entry, Sakura felt that he was just asking for a beating.
What kind of decent person liked so many girls at once?
But it wasn't just Takasaki's promiscuity that bothered Sakura.
The main thing was that he liked so many girls, yet he didn't like her!
That really frustrated Sakura.
Was she not pretty?
If she weren't pretty, would Naruto be so relentless in chasing after her?
She was at least prettier than Ino, so why did Takasaki like Ino but not her?
"I'm not going to find Takasaki. I'm going to find Sasuke!" The more Sakura thought about it, the angrier she got.
The next second,
she suddenly sensed something and stopped in her tracks, her face lighting up with delight.
Takasaki was writing in his diary!
What was he writing about? Would she get a reward?
Last time, she'd received a 10% increase in her chakra reserves. What would she get this time?
Sakura didn't have time to think. She didn't even bother trying to meet Sasuke. She hurried home, delighted, went into her bedroom, locked the door, then eagerly took out the diary to read.
At that moment,
Takasaki had no idea
that the contents of his diary were about to be publicly exposed.
Takasaki didn't care much about what he wrote in his diary.
As the old saying went, what decent person kept a diary?
If you were going to write one, you might as well write an indecent diary.
Anyway, he was just going through the motions for the system.
He was writing:
[I'm liking Hinata more and more. Today, I went to see Hinata and asked her to teach me the Three Body Technique. She didn't look down on me for being the dead-last like everyone else. Not only did she let me into her house, she even had someone pack up more than ten skewers for me, so I could eat my fill.]
[What a wonderful girl. She invited a guy to eat and didn't even make him pay. Where else are you going to find someone like her?]
[Thanks to Hinata's teaching, the chakra efficiency of my Three Body Technique has indeed improved quite a bit. That's not the point. The point is that Hinata was unbelievably adorable while tutoring me.]
[If I'd known she would poke the back of my hand and my face with her finger when she noticed me spacing out during the lesson, I would've deliberately spaced out a few more times.]
[It's just a shame that her cousin Neji seemed pretty unhappy about me coming over.]
[If he'd just spoken to me properly and asked me to leave his house, I would've respected his wishes. But what was with him mocking me as a dead-last every other sentence?]
[Normally, I couldn't be bothered to argue with him. But Hinata's my future wife. He mocked me in front of my wife. Was I supposed to put up with that? Of course I had to fight back.]
[Of course, I only fought back verbally. When he came at me, I had to run, since I still couldn't beat him. But I tricked him three times, and he didn't get the better of me, either. All in all, I don't think I embarrassed myself in front of Hinata.]
[Anyway, I'm a very magnanimous person and don't hold grudges against kids. But if anyone disrespects me in front of my future wife, even if it's Tsunade, I'll pounce on them, grab those ample breasts, and give them a good squeeze!]
[Of course, Hinata's still growing. Once those ample breasts of hers mature, I won't let even one opportunity to squeeze them go to waste.]
After finishing the diary entry,
Takasaki waited quietly for ten minutes. Sure enough, the rewards page on the Control Panel in front of him changed.
[You have finished writing your second diary entry. The contents are being evaluated.] [Diary entry evaluation passed. The contents are true and valid.] [Reward: Total chakra increased by 100%; chakra recovery speed increased by 100%.]
The next second,
a warm current surged through Takasaki's whole body. He felt his stamina and chakra reserves instantly fill to the brim.
His chakra reserves in particular had already exceeded their previous limit.
Takasaki checked his character attributes.
Sure enough,
his total chakra had changed.
Before, it had been [Chakra: 20 points].
Now it was [Chakra: 40 points].
His chakra recovery speed had also improved, from one point every two minutes to one point every minute.
From the perspective of a transmigrator, having a cheat was seriously awesome.
He'd been worrying about his low chakra reserves just moments ago. Then he used the diary cheat, and his chakra reserves immediately doubled, along with his recovery speed. That meant he could improve his jutsu proficiency twice as fast from now on.
[Reminder: Raise your Clone Technique proficiency to level 4 to unlock permission to write your next diary entry.]
He had to raise his Clone Technique proficiency to level 4 before he could write another diary entry.
In other words, he needed to gain nearly 500 points of Clone Technique proficiency.
Got it.
He'd keep grinding jutsu proficiency until Pain came to Konoha to collect the rice.
Hyuga Clan Mansion.
Training Room.
Thud!
Hinata was sent crashing to the ground by a single strike of Neji's Gentle Fist.
With nearly all her chakra and stamina depleted, she still hadn't managed to defeat Neji.
Usually, whenever Hinata lost to Neji in their sparring matches, she felt dejected and thought she was useless, that she'd never be worthy of shouldering the burden of the Hyuga Clan.
But this time,
even though she still hadn't managed to beat Neji, she wasn't discouraged at all.
Usually, she couldn't last even half a minute against Neji.
This time, she'd lasted a full three minutes before she fell.
"Hinata, you've gotten stronger!"
Usually, after sparring with Hinata, Neji would glance coldly at her lying on the ground, then turn and leave.
But this time, he walked over and helped Hinata to her feet.
It wasn't because he'd grown fonder of her. After all, Hinata had indirectly caused his father's death, and that was a grudge that couldn't be erased.
The main reason was that Hinata's improvement made no sense.
He was curious about how she'd gotten stronger. "Hinata, last month you couldn't last half a minute against me. You've improved so much this time. What have you been through over the past month? Why have you made such a huge leap?"
