Konoha: The Female Ninja Fell Apart After the Diary Was Exposed

And here he had thought his performance lately had completely outclassed Naruto's.

The moment Sasuke Uchiha remembered what he had just said to Naruto, he wanted to crawl into a hole.

Who would have thought

that the joke was on him?

But alongside his anger, Sasuke Uchiha was stunned.

If that bastard Naruto's Shadow Clone could complete D-rank missions, how strong was Naruto himself?

Sasuke knew he couldn't do that.

Just as Sakura had said,

even if he had known, he would still have had to carry out the missions.

After all,

with his mental strength and Chakra reserves,

forget completing D-rank missions—he couldn't even maintain a Shadow Clone for a full day while doing nothing else.

"Damn it!"

"Bastard!"

"Idiot!"

Sasuke Uchiha clenched his fist and slammed it into the wall.

His pride shattered in an instant.

Sasuke,

what are you doing?

If even a dead-last can surpass you, how will you ever take revenge on that man?

You have to get stronger!

Powerful emotions swirled through Sasuke Uchiha's mind.

The next second,

his eyes began to change.

His One-Tomoe Sharingan, dormant since the Night of the Uchiha Massacre, finally awakened again.

You're a Sakura Bitch When You Fawn Over Someone Else. Me? That's Different!

"Naruto, you should've seen Sasuke's face just now. It was hilarious."

Sakura followed Naruto Uzumaki, excitedly recounting what had happened.

Ever since she had turned her attention to Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha had begun to get on her nerves.

After all,

once the "dream guy" filter wore off,

Sasuke Uchiha's aloof, show-off personality was hard to like.

"I didn't want to do it either."

"He just kept showing off in front of me."

Naruto Uzumaki spoke evenly.

From the moment he arrived in the Shinobi World, he had made up his mind.

There would only be one king of showing off in the Shinobi World,

and that would be him, Naruto Uzumaki!

"But... Naruto, with Sasuke's personality, will he be okay after a blow like that?"

Once she had calmed down, Sakura asked uncertainly.

"Don't worry."

"He'll be back to his old self before long."

Naruto Uzumaki waved a hand dismissively.

They didn't call him Sunny Sasuke for nothing.

In the Original Story,

Sasuke got beaten down practically every time he showed off. Did it ever change his personality?

Not a bit.

Get stronger—show off—get beaten down—get stronger again—show off again—get beaten down again...

That was how Uchiha Sasuke had gone through life.

Today's blow was nothing more than a splash of water.

"That's good."

Hearing Naruto Uzumaki's answer, Sakura Haruno nodded.

Then,

she asked as if the question had just occurred to her, "Oh, Naruto-kun, who do you think was the first person to control Chakra?"

"I read a book yesterday that said the Sage of Six Paths founded Ninshu, and that's how Ninja came to be."

"Wouldn't that make the Sage of Six Paths the ancestor of the entire Shinobi World?"

"If the legend is true, I wonder how powerful he was."

"I wonder if he was even stronger than the Third Hokage, the strongest Hokage."

"Naruto, do you know anything about that?"

Sakura Haruno put on an innocent look as she asked.

"You know I've never liked reading."

"But... I bet even the Sage of Six Paths wasn't as strong as our Third Hokage."

Naruto Uzumaki gave a soft snort.

"Oh."

Sakura Haruno said nothing more after hearing his answer.

She had said everything she needed to. Now she just had to see whether Naruto would reveal anything in the Diary.

"Sakura, I'm home."

"Oh... Naruto, do you have any ingredients at home?"

"How about I make you dinner before I leave?"

Sakura Haruno asked cautiously.

"Sure."

"Great!"

A happy smile spread across Sakura Haruno's face when Naruto Uzumaki agreed.

Tonight,

Naruto was sure to write about her in the Diary again.

"Naruto, I'm heading out~"

Naruto Uzumaki watched Sakura Haruno leave, then looked away.

He had to admit,

Sakura knew how to fawn over someone.

One meal,

and she had made him feel thoroughly pampered.

It really did fit the saying.

Fawn over Sasuke and I'll call you Sakura Bitch. Fawn over me... and we're good.

Naruto Uzumaki closed the door and slowly sat down at the table.

He still hadn't written today's diary entry. He needed to finish it before midnight.

[Ohayō~]

The familiar words appeared in the Diary, and all the women stopped what they were doing.

*Ohayō~*

[Another pleasant day.]

[Sasuke's face turned green when he found out I'd been using a Shadow Clone to do missions with him.]

[I have to admit, showing off in front of Uchiha Sasuke feels amazing. No wonder he's so addicted to it.]

[That said, Uchiha Sasuke really has it rough. Uchiha Itachi had his whole life planned out for him.]

[Speaking of Uchiha Itachi, that guy was a traitor.]

[Classic Uchiha personality: extreme and arrogant.]

[To resolve the conflict between the village and the Uchiha Clan, he raised his blade against his own people. With the support of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and others, he killed every clan member except Sasuke Uchiha—including his own parents!]

[In exchange for becoming a Missing-nin and infiltrating Akatsuki to gather intelligence, he made the village guarantee Sasuke Uchiha's safety.]

Everyone reading the Diary drew a sharp breath.

So,

was that the truth behind the Uchiha Clan's destruction?

Uchiha Itachi had attacked his own clan... on the village's orders?!

In a tavern,

the cup in Tsunade's hand shattered, but she barely noticed.

"Lady Tsunade, are you all right?"

Shizune hurried over.

"I'm fine."

"Heh... Shizune, how did that old man end up like this?"

Tsunade asked, her eyes hazy with drink.

Why had the Shinobi Hero, once so upright that the entire Shinobi World feared him, become like this?

Power—

could it really change a person this much?

Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru...

They were reviled because they threatened your hold on power, weren't they?

I thought you had simply grown old and weak-willed.

But I never imagined

you had a hand in the Uchiha Clan's destruction too.

To be so ruthless toward Ninja from your own village...

You've really opened my eyes.

With that thought,

Tsunade picked up the bottles on the table and poured their contents down her throat.
