Konoha: After the Diary Was Exposed, the Kunoichi Fell Apart

[I've written quite a bit. I'm getting hungry, so I'll grab something to eat first.]

After finishing his diary entry, Naruto Uzumaki tossed the pen aside.

The next second,

the Diary vanished into thin air.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host, on completing your first diary entry. Reward: Perfect Sage Body.]

As the system notification sounded,

Naruto Uzumaki felt warmth flood his body.

Under its influence,

his body brimmed with energy,

as though every cell were cheering.

"No wonder it's called the Perfect Sage Body. This feels incredible!"

Naruto Uzumaki sensed the changes in his body, and joy spread across his face.

He had originally possessed the Uzumaki Sage Body.

It was powerful too,

but

compared with the Perfect Sage Body,

the Uzumaki Sage Body fell far short.

In the Original Story, Hashirama Senju probably had the physique closest to the Perfect Sage Body.

His passive regeneration alone rivaled Tsunade's ultimate move.

Add his terrifying reserves of Chakra and the speed at which he refined it...

That showed

just how absurdly powerful the Perfect Sage Body was!

And

this was only the reward for writing one diary entry.

As time went on,

he believed

he would achieve

far more than Naruto Uzumaki had in the Original Story!

Could Naruto Be the Savior of the Shinobi World?

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the Fourth Hokage's son, the future savior of the Shinobi World..."

"H-how... How is that possible?!"

Watching the words slowly appear in the Diary, Sakura Haruno gaped in disbelief.

She had never met the Fourth Hokage, but she had heard his story.

He was an extraordinarily gifted Ninja who had once led Konoha to victory in a war through his own strength.

What was more,

he was the hero who had saved Konoha from the Nine-Tailed Fox!

Naruto was his son?

What kind of joke was that?!

How could someone like Naruto have an identity like that?

And

how could a dead-last like him

possibly become the savior of the Shinobi World?!

"It has to be a prank, right?"

Sakura Haruno said to herself.

But

deep down, she knew

Naruto could never have pulled off something so unbelievable.

And

when she thought back to how strangely he had acted today,

Sakura Haruno grew more frightened by the moment.

What the Diary said might really be true!

Otherwise,

she could think of no other way to explain Naruto's change.

But if the Diary was telling the truth,

then Naruto's identity was staggering.

The Fourth Hokage's son!

And the future savior of the Shinobi World!

A born protagonist!

Wasn't that a little too much?!

For the first time,

when Sakura Haruno thought of Naruto, she no longer felt superior to him. Instead, she felt a little inadequate.

Her parents

were both ordinary people who weren't even Ninja!

"Judging by the Diary, Naruto must have awakened memories from another world. In those memories, he learned about things that will happen in the Shinobi World's future."

Once Sakura Haruno calmed down, she began analyzing the Diary's contents.

Unfortunately,

most of it went right over her head.

After all,

the events and people it mentioned were far beyond her reach.

So

aside from Naruto calling her a Sasuke-obsessed fangirl and saying Hinata would become his wife in the future,

Sakura Haruno couldn't make much sense of anything else.

"Looks like I'll need to find a chance to sound Naruto out at the Ninja Academy tomorrow."

Sakura Haruno murmured.

She didn't know why the Diary had appeared here, but judging from its contents, Naruto probably didn't know she could read it.

I can't let Naruto find out!

Sakura Haruno told herself.

After all,

if Naruto discovered that she could read his Diary,

he might stop writing in it.

So

she had to keep it secret.

She couldn't tell anyone.

Having made up her mind, Sakura Haruno closed the Diary.

As she worried about where to hide it, the Diary vanished into thin air.

At a thought from her, it appeared again just as suddenly.

Seeing this, Sakura Haruno became even more certain that the Diary was telling the truth.

After all,

as far as she knew, only a handful of people in the entire Shinobi World could use an ability resembling Space-Time Ninjutsu.

And she

had somehow acquired it out of nowhere!

A power that miraculous couldn't possibly be a prank.

Konoha.

Inside a room in a lavish Manor.

Hinata Hyuga stared blankly at the Diary. Her skin was as red as a boiled shrimp, and wisps of steam even rose from her head.

When she returned from the Ninja Academy, she had immediately spotted the Diary lying quietly on her desk.

[Naruto Uzumaki's Diary (Hinata Hyuga)]

Overcome with curiosity, Hinata Hyuga opened the Diary and read what it said.

One look

nearly made her faint.

"W-will I become Naruto-kun's wife in the future?"

"W-will that really happen?"

"Will Naruto-kun have accepted me by then?"

"He must have."

At that thought,

Hinata Hyuga, whose heart had been brimming with sweetness, suddenly froze.

"D-does that mean... Naruto-kun has already noticed how I feel?!"

"Wh-what am I going to do?!"

She was happy to learn that she could become Naruto-kun's wife in the future, but she wasn't ready to confess her feelings yet.

After all,

she had always watched Naruto-kun secretly from a distance.

Now that Naruto-kun had noticed how she felt, how was she supposed to face him?

At the thought of seeing Naruto-kun at the Ninja Academy tomorrow, Hinata Hyuga's vision went black, and she fainted on the spot.

The Diary in her hand vanished along with her consciousness.

Inside a Flower Shop in Konoha.

Ino Yamanaka locked her door and lay on her stomach on the bed, looking at the Diary before her with a smug expression.

"Heh heh heh~"
