Konoha: The Diary's Exposure Sent the Kunoichi Spiraling

For a moment,

the women were filled with questions.

[What a shame. The Mind's Eye of the Kagura lets me see anywhere within ten kilometers clearly, but I can't hear a thing. Such a shame...]

Are you going to finish what you were saying or not?!

Who cares whether you can hear anything?!

Tell us about Otsutsuki Kaguya!

Isn't that the important part?

And another thing,

didn't you say you were only peeking to study an ultra-S-rank jutsu?

Why are you so disappointed that you can't hear anything?

Pervert!!!

The women felt like they were losing their minds.

Stopping halfway through is maddening!

I'll give you flowers, votes, monthly tickets, even donations. Can't you write more of what I want to read, you bastard?!

Only Uzuki Yugao remained as calm as ever.

After all,

she hadn't looked at the Diary since earlier.

"What do I do? This is so embarrassing..."

It was bad enough that bastard peeked. Did he have to give a live account in the Diary too...?

At the thought that everyone who owned a Diary could read it, Uzuki Yugao wanted to crawl into a hole.

I can never show my face again!

Konan: I'm Willing to Be Your Wife!

Meanwhile,

Kurenai Yuhi, who was also taking a bath, hurried out of the Bathtub and wrapped herself tightly in a towel.

"Looks like that so-called system is no good either, rewarding that huge pervert with a jutsu like this!"

Kurenai Yuhi gave an indignant huff, then felt a little relieved.

From what Naruto had written in the Diary, the Mind's Eye of the Kagura seemed to have a range of only ten kilometers.

Her home was farther than that from Naruto's.

Still,

that Naruto...

Why couldn't he write more about Otsutsuki Kaguya?!

Tonight,

who knew how many people would lose sleep again?

Just then,

Kurenai Yuhi noticed several new messages in the Group Chat.

Ino Yamanaka: "None of you are taking a bath, right?"

Sakura Haruno: "That bastard Naruto! How dare he peek at girls bathing? He's awful!"

Hinata Hyuga: "I-it's actually okay. If it's Naruto-kun, I... I wouldn't mind..."

Kurenai Yuhi: "If he dares peek at any of you, I'll castrate him myself!"

Ino Yamanaka: "Kurenai, you're amazing!"

Sakura Haruno: "Kurenai, you're amazing!"

Hinata Hyuga: "Um... isn't that punishment a little too harsh? I don't think being seen is such a big deal."

Reading Hinata Hyuga's reply, Kurenai Yuhi, Sakura Haruno, and Ino Yamanaka all covered their foreheads in exasperation.

No wonder Naruto called Hinata the perfect wife.

With a personality like that,

that huge pervert would walk all over her someday!

Ino Yamanaka: "Anyway, Kurenai, do you know what kind of person this Otsutsuki Kaguya Naruto mentioned is?"

Sakura Haruno: "Right. I've only heard stories about the Sage of Six Paths. I don't know anything about his mother."

Hinata Hyuga: "I don't think our clan has any records of Otsutsuki Kaguya either."

Kurenai Yuhi: "If even the Hyuga Clan has no records of her, I doubt there are any elsewhere."

Ino Yamanaka: "It's all Naruto's fault. That jerk always gets me curious and then stops talking. It's infuriating."

Sakura Haruno: "Let's find a chance to ask Naruto. Maybe he'll write the answer in the Diary."

Kurenai Yuhi: "Good idea. I'll leave it to you, then."

Sakura Haruno: "Leave it to me. Oh, yeah~"

The Land of Rain.

Inside a tower,

Konan stared blankly at the drizzly sky.

"Looks like approaching Naruto in secret won't be possible now."

"I'll need to change the plan."

She had originally intended to sneak into Konoha and observe Naruto without his knowledge.

Now it was clear she could never hide that from him.

After all,

he possessed a sensory jutsu as powerful as the Mind's Eye of the Kagura.

Across the entire Shinobi World,

there was probably no one who could approach him unnoticed.

"Konan, what are you thinking about now?"

Nagato's voice came from behind her.

"Nothing."

Konan shook her head slightly.

"The organization's members are still getting used to working together. Once things settle down, you can go to Konoha."

Nagato spoke slowly.

"I know."

"Nagato, you mustn't let your guard down around Madara Uchiha."

Konan warned him.

From Naruto Uzumaki's Diary, she had learned that the man calling himself Madara Uchiha was actually someone named Obito Uchiha.

His true goal

was to revive the Ten-Tails and carry out the so-called Eye of the Moon Plan.

She still didn't know exactly what the Eye of the Moon Plan was.

But

he had concealed too much crucial information to have good intentions.

"Don't worry. Without Madara, I wouldn't have mastered the Rinnegan."

"Even if he has plans of his own, they won't affect ours."

"Besides, I'm a god now. Even Madara Uchiha couldn't defeat me."

Nagato spoke with pride.

"Ah..."

Hearing his words, Konan sighed inwardly.

Ever since mastering the Rinnegan's power, Nagato had grown increasingly arrogant.

She, too, had once believed that Nagato, who possessed the same eyes as the Sage of Six Paths, was the Shinobi World's savior and would surely fulfill Yahiko's dream.

But now,

she knew

the Shinobi World's true savior was Naruto Uzumaki.

And Nagato

might well become a mortal enemy Naruto encountered while saving the Shinobi World.

By the usual logic,

an enemy like that

was destined to become a stepping stone for the hero.

What was more,

the Diary had just said

that in the Future,

even the Sage of Six Paths' mother—Otsutsuki Kaguya—would appear.

Against someone like her, what could even Nagato, with his Rinnegan, do?

No. No matter what, I have to change Nagato's fate!

Konan made up her mind.

She, Nagato, and Yahiko had grown up together. They were each other's closest family. Yahiko was already dead; she absolutely could not let anything happen to Nagato.

"All right. The meeting's about to start. Let's go."

With that, Nagato slowly disappeared into the darkness.

Konan followed silently.

Naruto Uzumaki,

if you can save Nagato from the darkness, I'll gladly become your wife!!!

Sasuke: Turns Out I Was the Clown

"After all these years, someone in the Shinobi World still remembers my existence?"

"Judging by what's written on these pages, the owner of this Diary seems to know the Shinobi World's history very well."

"And this person seems to know about the Ōtsutsuki Clan too."

"Could they have traveled here from the future using Karasuki?"

Deep inside the moon,

in a space untouched by daylight,

a woman with long, flowing hair murmured to herself.

That woman

was Otsutsuki Kaguya, sealed within the moon by her two sons.
