Ino locked her bedroom door and drew the curtains before taking out the diary.
A brand-new entry had indeed appeared in the diary.
It was written by Takasaki.
Ino read it intently. When she first saw her name on the page, she let out a heavy sigh of relief and beamed with joy. "I knew it! Taking the risk to help Takasaki cheat was worth it. Takasaki wrote my name in his new diary."
The problem was, the smile on Ino's face didn't last more than a few seconds before it quickly faded.
"This guy Takasaki, he really isn't as polite as he looks!"
"When I was kind enough to help him write a cheat sheet on his palm, he was actually checking out my figure!"
"He looks so refined, polite, and humble, but deep down, he's still a pervert!"
Fortunately, the words Takasaki used to describe Ino's figure in the diary were all compliments, which made Ino feel a little better.
Women, after all, regardless of their age, always believe they are beautiful.
Even if Ino was still just a young girl who hadn't fully blossomed yet.
"Is my midriff really that pretty?"
Ino looked down at her stomach and suddenly felt a bit lucky.
She had gone to school in a rush today and grabbed a random T-shirt from her closet. It turned out to be one from a few years ago, so it was a size too small, leaving her navel exposed.
Yet, this very outfit was what made Takasaki think she looked good.
To be honest, under normal circumstances, if a boy were to stare at her exposed midriff like that, she would find it incredibly presumptuous—especially since this boy was a social outcast and a dead-last student.
The issue was that she hadn't expected to be noticed by Takasaki in such a way that he would write about it in his diary.
Should I try to wear crop tops whenever I'm around Takasaki from now on? The thought crossed Ino's mind.
Thinking about it was one thing.
Actually doing it was not so easy.
Because the moment she thought of Takasaki's bottom-tier grades, she subconsciously felt a sense of repulsion.
Especially when she saw Takasaki writing in his diary about wanting to get her pregnant.
It was truly presumptuous.
It sounded as if she actually wanted to bear Takasaki's children.
"I will only ever have children for someone I love. It could never be Takasaki. There is no way I could ever like a dead-last student." Ino frowned, feeling deeply displeased.
A line of text appeared in the diary: [You have been mentioned in Takasaki's diary more than 5 times. Reward obtained: Chakra capacity increased by 10%.]
When she saw this line, Ino was stunned for a moment. Once it registered, she was exceptionally delighted. "I got a reward!"
The reward was exactly the increase in chakra capacity she had been hoping for!
Before she could think too much, she suddenly felt a warm current surge through her body.
Her chakra and physical stamina felt incredibly abundant at that moment.
Feeling that her internal chakra reserves were indeed 10% higher than before, Ino stomped her feet in excitement inside her room.
After calming down a bit, she opened her door and shouted downstairs, "Dad! Come up! I have a surprise for you!"
"What is it?"
The sound of Inoichi Yamanaka's footsteps echoed as he climbed the stairs.
Ino was already at her doorway, facing the corner of the staircase, and formed the hand seals for the Mind Transfer Jutsu. She aimed directly at Inoichi Yamanaka just as he reached the landing: "Mind Transfer Jutsu!"
Seeing this, Inoichi Yamanaka chuckled. "Ino, your current chakra levels aren't enough to perform the Mind Transfer Jutsu yet. Just train slowly, there's no rush..."
He hadn't even finished his sentence.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and his consciousness instantly dissipated.
A few minutes later, he regained his senses. Once his mind cleared, he looked up at Ino sharply. "Ino, you learned it!"
"Yes, I just learned it."
Ino collapsed by the door, exhausted, her eyes filled with a joyful smile. "Dad, I finally mastered the secret technique of the Yamanaka Clan before graduation. I didn't embarrass you, hahaha..."
Inoichi Yamanaka chatted with Ino for a while, his eyes full of pride for his daughter. "I'm going to tell everyone in the clan about this! I want the clansmen to know just how talented my daughter is, hahaha!"
After the father and daughter chatted for a bit, Inoichi Yamanaka left.
Ino returned to her room and lay on the bed to rest.
Even though successfully performing the Mind Transfer Jutsu once had consumed almost all of her chakra, she was very happy.
Mainly, she had finally seen her father, who always cared for her, feel proud because of her.
She could imagine the looks of admiration she would receive from the other clansmen once they learned she had mastered the Mind Transfer Jutsu.
Just thinking about it made her feel at ease.
"That big pervert Takasaki really did me a huge favor!"
She had taken a risk to help Takasaki cheat, and because Takasaki recorded her name in his diary, the diary rewarded her with chakra, allowing her to successfully master the Mind Transfer Jutsu.
All things considered, it was a real bargain.
Ino recalled the content Takasaki had recorded in the Diary regarding her.
Suddenly, she felt that the offensive remarks written there didn't seem so capable of making her angry anymore.
So Takasaki likes seeing me in crop tops, huh? If I wear them every time I appear before him from now on, I wonder if he'll keep writing my name in future entries.
But, just thinking about how he praises my stomach while simultaneously wanting to get me pregnant makes me feel like he's so shameless.
As Ino was thinking this, she suddenly felt a shift in her senses.
New content was appearing in the Diary!
Ino didn't have time to complain about Takasaki; she hurriedly took out the Diary to inspect it, only to discover that it wasn't a new entry, but rather a line of text appearing at the bottom of the previous one.
[In this diary entry, Kurenai Yuhi was mentioned the most times. Kurenai Yuhi receives an additional reward: Chakra capacity increased by 20%.]
Ino was stunned at first, then suddenly realized: "Kurenai Yuhi actually has a Diary too!"
Another additional reward!
The person who received the extra reward in the last entry was Hinata, and this time it was Kurenai Yuhi!
A 20% increase in chakra capacity.
Ino was truly envious.
If she could receive this extra reward, she wouldn't be this exhausted after using the Mind Transfer Jutsu.
"No wonder Takasaki was reported for cheating several times during the exam today, yet Kurenai Yuhi never caught him. It turns out she was doing it on purpose."
"She even lured Takasaki into handing in his paper early and enticed him to her private office. She even hugged him, it seems."
Looking at it all, Ino only had one feeling regarding Kurenai Yuhi's actions in the Diary.
Kurenai Yuhi was really going all out. To get Takasaki to write her name more often in the Diary, she even lured him to her private office, and it seemed she even took the initiative to hug him to comfort him.
Takasaki mentioned in the Diary that the reason Kurenai Yuhi was so good to him was because her parents had a life-or-death friendship with him.
Was that really the case?
Ino didn't believe it for a second.
"That must just be an excuse for Kurenai Yuhi to get close to Takasaki. Every action she takes toward him is just to get him to write her name in the Diary more often."
To be honest, even Ino thought this behavior was a bit shameless, but the problem was, it was very effective!
Kurenai Yuhi had successfully obtained the extra reward.
Ino was truly envious as she watched.
Along with that envy, there was a tiny hint of jealousy.
After her stamina recovered slightly, Ino headed to the bathroom to wash off the sweat caused by the massive consumption of chakra.
As she peeled off her clothes one by one, Ino stood under the showerhead, letting the water wash over her fair body, when a flash of inspiration suddenly struck her: "Kurenai Yuhi can use her sexy, mature body to seduce Takasaki, but can I?"
