Konoha: The Diary's Exposure Broke the Female Ninja

Watching Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju disappear, Tsunade felt a little down.

Their brief reunion had let her feel a family's warmth for the first time in ages.

If she had a choice,

she truly didn't want her granduncles to leave.

"Come on, Tsunade. Don't look like that."

Naruto Uzumaki smiled as he tried to comfort her.

"You brat, who said you could call me by my name like that?"

"Call me your teacher!"

At Naruto's words, Tsunade collected herself and slipped back into her usual manner.

She knew he had probably said it to ease her sadness, but she was still flustered and annoyed.

The cheeky little brat.

How could he tease his own teacher like that?

Tsunade hooked an arm around Naruto's neck, determined to teach him a lesson for running his mouth.

With those enormous Pet Bears pressed against his face, Naruto smiled in triumph.

A fan-service queen.

She really was generous.

A few words were all it took to earn this kind of treatment...

As far as Naruto was concerned,

it was well worth it.

Good morning~

The women all silently replied as they read the Diary.

this feeling of talking across a distance.

[The Chunin Ninja Exams are finally over, so the curtain can fall on the first big show.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi got what he deserved in the end.]

[I'd give myself a nine out of ten for today. I'm taking off one point so I don't get too proud.]

The women
