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

He had also become a missing-nin wanted by Kirigakure.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Just be careful and stay alive."

"I'll contact you when the time is right."

After speaking, Mei Terumi turned her gaze to Haku.

"By the way, that kid with you is quite something."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Haku spoke to Mei Terumi respectfully.

"Heh... What a well-behaved kid."

Mei Terumi smiled. She was about to say more when her expression suddenly changed.

The diary

had updated again.

[Good morning~]

The women: Good morning~ (eager.jpg)

[Hahahaha... Just as I thought, my strength is as invincible as my little brother's!]

The women: ???

[After that fight, even an Elite Jonin like Zabuza couldn't put any pressure on me.]

[Speed, strength, endurance, Chakra, Ninjutsu...]

[I outclassed him in every way!]

[And if I entered Kurama Mode, it wouldn't even be a contest.]

[I could take someone like him down in an instant.]

[Still... I'd better keep a low profile for now. There's no need to show all my cards.]

[Why not stay behind the scenes, get stronger, and find myself a wife? What's not to love?]

At that,

the women covered their mouths in surprise.

What was "Kurama Mode"?

Was it something like Kumogakure's Lightning Release Chakra Mode?

If he could use it to take down an Elite Jonin like Zabuza in an instant...

Did that mean

Naruto had already reached Kage Level?

No,

even a Kage Level fighter

wouldn't dare make a claim like that, would they?

To possess that kind of power at twelve...

Wasn't that terrifying?

And another thing:

Stay behind the scenes, get stronger, and find a wife?

You're the savior of the Shinobi World! Could you please show a little ambition?

That laid-back attitude did not inspire confidence!

[There is one strange thing, though.]

[In the Original Story, Mei Terumi didn't appear during the Land of Waves mission.]

[But today, she showed up.]

[I'm glad I got to meet the future Fifth Mizukage, but it still feels strange.]

[Could my arrival in this world have caused a butterfly effect?]

[Let me remind myself again: reality isn't exactly like the Original Story. I can't let my assumptions trip me up!]

"I... I'll become the Fifth Mizukage in the future?!"

Mei Terumi froze.

She had considered the possibility, but she had never pinned much hope on it.

After all,

although she possessed two Kekkei Genkai, she had no powerful connections.

The higher-ups in Kirigakure were unlikely to support her rise to power.

Could it be...

that she would launch a coup and succeed?

At the thought,

Mei Terumi felt as though her heart might leap out of her chest.

[And while I'm at it, Mei Terumi is gorgeous right now. She doesn't have that fully ripened, peach-like allure she had in the Original Story yet, but she has a more youthful energy instead.]

[That soft skin, that sexy figure, those two hefty "pet bears" she carries around... and that classic mature-woman voice...]

[Man... she's incredible!]

Reading the diary, the women all inwardly scoffed.

That shameless pervert.

What went through his head all day?

Couldn't he think about something serious for once?

"Hefty pet bears"...

Only he could come up with that!

Mei Terumi, meanwhile, looked relieved.

Good thing she hadn't insisted on speaking with Naruto.

Otherwise,

he might really have noticed something.

Besides,

she was delighted by Naruto's high praise today.

Hmph!

My charms

are no less than those women in Konoha's!

"Lady Mei Terumi?"

Haku's voice sounded beside her. Mei Terumi snapped back to herself and found both Zabuza and Haku looking at her in confusion.

"Ahem... You two should go."

"I'll contact you if I need anything later."

Mei Terumi forced herself to sound composed.

"Oh."

"Then we'll be going."

Zabuza wasn't especially curious. It was odd that Mei Terumi had suddenly started blushing and smiling to herself, but he had no desire to investigate.

With that,

he took Haku and left using the Body Flicker Technique.

Once they were gone,

Mei Terumi continued reading the diary.

Then

her eyes sharpened.

Here it comes!

[Come to think of it, Kirigakure should still be enforcing the Bloody Mist Policy, right?]

The Truth Behind the Bloody Mist

Here it comes!

As the words appeared in the diary, Mei Terumi grew tense.

She desperately wanted to know

why Kirigakure had become what it was today.

And why the Fourth Mizukage had implemented the Blood Mist Policy!

Was all of it

finally about to be revealed?

Suppressing her excitement, Mei Terumi quietly waited for the diary to update.

[Kirigakure was once one of the five strongest Ninja Villages in the Shinobi World.]

[But... ever since the Blood Mist Policy began, Kirigakure's strength has plummeted.]

[Its powerful Ninja either died or fled. Even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, once feared throughout the Shinobi World, have vanished.]

[Under Karatachi Yagura's leadership, Kirigakure also began slaughtering clans with Kekkei Genkai or inherited Secret Techniques.]

[The Kaguya Clan, the Yuki Clan, and other Ninja clans disappeared one after another.]

[If Kirigakure weren't isolated overseas, other villages would probably have swallowed it up long ago.]

At that,

Mei Terumi sighed inwardly.

Naruto was right.

Kirigakure was no longer the powerful Ninja Village it had once been.

Otherwise,

she wouldn't be scheming to launch a coup.

[Honestly, though, Kirigakure has had it rough.]

[After the village was founded, it grew steadily stronger under the First Three Mizukage.]

[Unfortunately... after the Third Shinobi World War ended, Madara Uchiha set his sights on Kirigakure.]

[To turn Obito Uchiha into his pawn, Madara Uchiha sealed the Three-Tails inside Rin Nohara and used Genjutsu to control Kirigakure's Ninja. He intended to send Rin Nohara into Konoha as a living weapon.]

[To save Rin Nohara, Kakashi fought dozens of Kirigakure's elite Ninja alone.]

[In the end, everything went according to Madara Uchiha's plan. Kakashi killed Rin Nohara with his own hands.]

[Obito Uchiha saw the girl he loved die at the hands of his closest friend, and his grief awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.]

[And so Obito Uchiha inherited Madara Uchiha's legacy and began moving through the Shinobi World under Madara Uchiha's name.]
