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

After all,

The Scroll of Seals contained countless powerful Forbidden Techniques and was kept under tight guard by the village.

If Naruto tried to steal it, the Anbu guarding it might kill him on the spot.

If anything happened to Naruto, the future savior of the Shinobi World, they would be in trouble.

"I see..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered Uzuki Yugao's words for a moment.

Yugao was a member of the Anbu and had once been assigned to secretly "protect" the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

So,

Hiruzen noticed nothing unusual about what she had said.

"Yugao, starting today, you'll resume protecting Naruto."

Hiruzen gave the order.

He had known about this for some time and had already prepared a careful plan, but there was no need to tell Yugao.

"Yes, sir!"

Yugao answered firmly.

"You may go."

"Yes, sir!"

As Yugao left the Hokage Building, a faint smile appeared on her face.

Ever since reading the Diary, she had been agonizing over how to get close to Naruto.

Now,

She finally had her chance.

Thinking of the generous rewards Naruto had mentioned several times in the Diary, Yugao could hardly contain her excitement.

Her strength had barely improved since becoming a Special Jōnin. Taking another step forward had seemed all but impossible.

Now,

With the Diary's help,

None of that was a problem anymore.

"Yugao!"

While Yugao was lost in thought, a delighted voice called out from behind her.

"Gekko Hayate?"

"Yugao, it's been ages. What have you been busy with lately?"

Hayate asked with a smile.

"Nothing much."

Yugao answered offhandedly.

"Really?"

"Then let me treat you to dinner today."

Hayate offered.

"No thanks. I have a mission."

Yugao turned him down.

She was about to leave when she suddenly remembered Naruto calling her "my wife Yugao" in the Diary.

She stopped and spoke to Hayate again.

"Oh, and don't come looking for me anymore. We're not right for each other."

Hayate stared after Yugao, utterly baffled.

What just happened?

Hokage? Pervert!

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host! You completed a diary entry and received a reward: Taijutsu Mastery!]

[Host's Taijutsu has reached Genin level. Automatically upgraded to Chunin-level Taijutsu Mastery!]

As the system notification sounded, Naruto Uzumaki felt a warm current surge through his body.

"Chunin-level Taijutsu Mastery... Not bad."

Naruto clenched his fist. Feeling the strength in his body, he smiled with satisfaction.

By writing in the Diary every day, he had earned plenty of rewards.

He had not received anything as powerful as the Perfect Sage Body again, but he had gained various Wind Release, Fire Release, and Earth Release Ninjutsu, along with abilities related to Taijutsu and Genjutsu.

In less than a month, he had reached Chunin level.

And,

He had no weaknesses!

At this point,

With the power he now possessed,

Beating Uchiha Sasuke would be a breeze.

"About time I headed to school."

Naruto checked the time, then set off for the Ninja Academy.

The Graduation Exam was today. He could not be late.

By the time he reached the Ninja Academy, the classroom was already full.

"Naruto, over here!"

Ino spotted Naruto immediately and waved her arm excitedly.

Beside her,

Hinata Hyuga and Sakura Haruno looked just as excited.

"How did Naruto get so popular with the girls?"

"Yeah! He's a dead-last. What does he have that I don't?"

"Hmph. I heard this exam covers the Transformation Technique and Clone Technique. No way he passes."

"Speaking of the exam, Sasuke's bound to come first again, right?"

"Of course. Sasuke Uchiha may be stuck-up, but they call him the last pride of the Uchiha Clan!"

Hearing the boys' chatter, Ino Yamanaka, Hinata Hyuga, and Sakura Haruno all pouted.

Those idiots.

Naruto was the future savior of the Shinobi World.

How could Sasuke Uchiha possibly be better than him?

"Naruto, don't listen to them. I know you'll pass the Graduation Exam."

"Me too, Naruto-kun. I know you'll become a great Ninja."

"You've got this, Naruto!"

Ino, Hinata, and Sakura did their best to reassure Naruto.

"Heh, don't worry. I won't take it to heart."

"Sasuke really is talented."

Naruto sounded completely unconcerned.

"Tch."

"He's just a black-haired sore loser."

The words slipped out of Ino's mouth.

Naruto: ?

Hinata: (°△°)

Sakura: (°△°)

Sasuke Uchiha, who had been pretending not to care while watching Naruto the whole time: ???!!!

"Ahem..."

"Ino, that's brilliant."

Naruto gave Ino a thumbs-up.

Seeing that Naruto had noticed nothing unusual, Ino, Hinata, and Sakura all breathed a sigh of relief.

They had learned the phrase "black-haired sore loser" from the Diary.

If Naruto caught on, they would be in trouble.

"All right, quiet down."

"When I call your name, come with me for the exam!"

Umino Iruka strode into the classroom and raised his voice.

Then,

The Graduation Exam officially began.

[Hahahaha... I can't stop laughing. The look on Mizuki's face was priceless.]

[Too bad the Diary doesn't have a camera. Otherwise, I'd definitely save a picture of Mizuki looking like he couldn't take a dump.]

Naruto lay sprawled over his desk, writing furiously.

Today,

During the Graduation Exam,

He had easily passed the Transformation Technique and Clone Technique tests and received his Ninja Forehead Protector.

Mizuki, who had been certain Naruto would never graduate, had gone green in the face.

That expression—

It had been priceless.

Naruto's awful.

Reading the Diary, the girls all grumbled to themselves.

From now on,

They would have to be careful around Naruto.

He was far too devious.

[But... now that I've passed and gotten my Ninja Forehead Protector, will Mizuki still try to lure me into stealing the Scroll of Seals?]

[He probably will, right?]

[After all, that old Third Hokage is probably behind all of this.]

Lord Third Hokage?
