He treated Kurotsuchi to Konoha's Three-Color Dango, too.
They parted at the apartment only when it was nearly dark.
Back at the place she was renting,
Kurotsuchi hurried into her room and immediately took out her diary.
She wanted to see
whether Naruto Uzumaki would mention her in it after all her efforts that day.
But
even after waiting more than an hour, she saw no new entries.
Kurotsuchi felt a little down.
Did Naruto not like me after all?
"No way."
"Naruto kept calling me his wife."
"Besides, he treated me to ramen today, bought me Three-Color Dango, and spent so long showing me around Konoha. There's no way he doesn't like me."
Kurotsuchi tried to reassure herself.
Finally,
more than two hours later,
new writing appeared in the diary.
[Ohayo~] [I killed Utatane Koharu today. Mission accomplished!]
None of the women were surprised to see that.
After all,
that morning,
Naruto had written in the diary
that he was going to kill Utatane Koharu.
[That old hag actually planned to hand me over to Shimura Danzō's Root, have me brainwashed, and then throw me into a dungeon.] [How vicious!] [And every business the Utatane Clan owns now was seized by that old hag.] [Many of them originally belonged to the Senju Clan—my dear wife Tsunade's clan.] [She dared steal from my wife. I couldn't let that stand!] [I burned that old hag to ashes today. That should give my dear wife Tsunade some satisfaction.] [Come to think of it, the Ninja of the Utatane Clan must be frantic by now, right?] [No matter. Once the Chunin Ninja Exams are over, I'll send them to join that old hag.]
The women sucked in a sharp breath as they read the diary.
That was Naruto
