Takasaki Offended Me in His Diary Again

Konoha Bay Apartments.

Takasaki's bedroom.

[To be honest, I really don't have the habit of keeping a Diary. What kind of serious person writes a Diary anyway?]

Just as Takasaki finished writing the last character of his first sentence, he noticed the ink from his ballpoint pen was skipping.

He breathed onto the tip of the pen, scribbled quickly on a piece of scrap paper nearby, and the ink began to flow smoothly again.

Takasaki continued writing in his Diary:

[Fortunately, enough happened today that some things are worth noting down. I'll focus on these people: Lady Hinata of the Hyuga Clan, Ino of the Yamanaka Clan, the civilian Sakura Haruno, and Kurenai Yuhi-sensei.]

[Hinata is as fascinating as ever. We had breakfast together, and she insisted on paying—can you believe that? This is the second time Hinata has treated me to a meal. The key is that when I asked her if she could help me cheat on the written exam this morning, she pinky-promised me she would, and she actually let me copy the answers off her test paper during the exam.]

[I really love Hinata so much. Such a wonderful girl must be cherished. Even if all my future wives object, I am determined to marry her if she wants to be with me.]

[Hinata wasn't the only classmate who helped me cheat; Ino did too. She wrote the cheat sheet right on my palm. This was my first time seeing Ino's figure up close.]

[Ino is still just a young girl and hasn't fully matured yet, but being that close to her, I could feel the sexiness of her midriff-baring outfit. Her flat stomach was a sight to behold. It would be a real shame not to use such a beautiful belly to carry my children in the future.]

[Moving on to Sakura Haruno—just looking at what she did to me today, I can only describe her with two words: "Ugh, pathetic."]

[I really don't know what's wrong with her brain. She went to such lengths to report me for cheating, as if she'd get paid for it.]

[No wonder Sasuke always calls her an idiot. Damn, she really is an idiot. What possible benefit could she gain from offending me? I can't figure it out, and I can't be bothered to argue with someone like that. It's pointless. Anyway, if I see her in trouble later, I'll just watch from the sidelines while snacking on melon seeds. The most I'll do is not kick her while she's down; expecting me to save her is just wishful thinking.]

[As for a girl like her, whoever wants to marry her can have her. Even if she came with a dowry, I wouldn't want her.]

[Kurenai Yuhi-sensei is different. If I could marry a woman like her, I could enjoy her loving hugs every single day.]

[It's also thanks to Kurenai being the proctor today that she helped me erase the evidence when Sakura reported me, preventing my exam results from being canceled.]

[At the time, when Kurenai came over and rubbed my palm, it felt so good I wanted to close my eyes and enjoy it. I didn't even realize she was just using Water Release to wash away the cheat sheet.]

[To be honest, I really thought she was covering for me because she wanted to have an affair with me.]

[So, when she called me into her private office, I was incredibly excited. I had even picked out names for our future children. It's just a pity that Kurenai only wanted to tell me that she had a life-or-death friendship with my parents, which is why she risked her teaching license to protect me.]

[All in all, my trip to Kurenai's office wasn't a total loss. I pretended to be very sad and heartbroken, tricking her into giving me a loving hug.]

[How could a mature, intellectual woman like Kurenai refuse? So, I succeeded. Although it was just her arms gently patting my back without her chest pressing against me, it still felt warm and soft.]

[It's a shame that Kurenai was the one hugging me, and I couldn't initiate it myself. Plus, she let go after only a few seconds. The moment was beautiful but fleeting.]

[However, thinking about how Kurenai is Asuma's girlfriend and I managed to take advantage of her, I do feel a bit guilty toward Asuma-sensei. But I'd do it again—at least I didn't get caught.]

[Alright, that's enough for today's Diary. Time to sleep.]

Diary entry finished.

Takasaki waited in silence.

Ten minutes passed, and a system prompt appeared on the translucent panel in front of him.

[Ding. Third Diary entry completed. Verifying the authenticity of the events recorded.]

[Ding. Verification complete. The Diary is authentic. Distributing rewards.]

[Ding. Reward received: Chakra capacity increased by 100%, Stamina increased by 100%.]

[Learned Ninjutsu: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.]

A warm current flowed into Takasaki's body.

In an instant, Takasaki felt his previously depleted chakra reserves become full.

His exhausted body also felt revitalized and full of energy.

Most importantly, Takasaki felt the hand seals for the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, as well as the method for circulating chakra during the technique, appear in his mind out of thin air.

"I remember that the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique is a fire jutsu that Sasuke, who was labeled a genius, practiced diligently from a young age. Now, thanks to the Diary, I can master it instantly," Takasaki thought with delight.

He wanted to write another entry immediately to get more rewards.

The problem was, when he saw the requirements to unlock the next entry, his heart sank.

[Friendly Reminder: You must reach max level in Substitution Technique, level 2 in Transformation Technique, and level 2 in Clone Technique to unlock the writing permission for the next Diary entry.]

This time, the Diary imposed three ninjutsu proficiency limits.

Reaching level 2 in Transformation and Substitution was easy enough; since both were currently at level 1, he just needed 100 proficiency points for each.

The problem was the Clone Technique, which needed to be maxed out—he was still 1,000 points short.

With his current total chakra and recovery rate, it would probably take him several days of grinding to finish it.

Whatever.

I'll just keep grinding slowly.

After all, it'll be a while before Pain comes to Konoha to "carry the rice."

Let's check my personal stats first.

[Name: Takasaki]

[Age: 12]

[Ninjutsu: Level 4 Clone Technique (0/1000) (2 Chakra), Level 1 Substitution Technique (4/100) (4 Chakra), Level 1 Transformation Technique (6/100) (4 Chakra), Level 1 Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu (0/100) (30 Chakra)]

[Chakra: 2/80 (Recovers 1 point every 60 seconds)]

[Stamina: 40 (Recovers 1 point every 60 seconds)]

Chakra capacity increased from 40 points to 80 points.

Stamina increased from 20 points to 40 points.

Both my chakra and stamina have doubled, significantly boosting my overall strength. It's just a pity that the chakra recovery rate hasn't increased much. If I spend five days grinding ninjutsu proficiency, I should be able to meet the requirements to unlock the writing permission for the next diary entry.

After marveling at the 100% increase in his chakra and stamina, Takasaki turned his attention to the ninjutsu rewarded by the system.

Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.

A fire-style technique of the Uchiha clan.

Actually, when he first saw the reward, Takasaki had been delighted, but upon seeing the chakra cost, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Using the Fireball Jutsu once requires 30 points of chakra.

What does that mean?

He only has 80 points of chakra in total, which means he can use this ninjutsu at most twice when fully charged.

He couldn't really blame the high chakra cost of the Fireball Jutsu; he could only blame the low chakra capacity of the body he had transmigrated into.

It was so low that even though his chakra was now eight times what it originally was, it was still only 80 points—truly not enough to go around.

Forget it, he would go test the power of the Fireball Jutsu first.

A ninjutsu of this magnitude certainly couldn't be tested within the village, or it would easily cause a fire.

He needed to find an open space, preferably outside the village.

Takasaki left the Konoha Bay Apartments and headed toward the outskirts of the village.

Meanwhile.

Hyuga Clan Mansion.

Hinata's bedroom.

Hinata, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. Feeling something, her hazy, sleepy eyes became exceptionally alert. Takasaki seems to have finished writing in his diary!

She rolled out of bed, turned on the small desk lamp, and after confirming that the curtains were drawn and the door was locked, she took the diary out of her consciousness space.

She took a quick look first.

There really is a new entry! Takasaki must have just finished writing it not long ago!

Would her name be in this entry?

Would she receive a reward?

Even though she was just peeking at a diary, Hinata felt even more nervous than when she had helped Takasaki cheat on his exam that morning.

She took a deep breath and, by the light of the desk lamp, began to read carefully.

However, after only a moment, Hinata's cheeks flushed a brilliant crimson. Her tone of accusation was tinged with a hint of shyness: "Takasaki's diary content is as outrageous as ever. How could he say such things? He's offending me in his diary again."
