Chapter 20: 020 The Truth of the Senju Clan
When they saw this passage, all the women who were reading the diary had the same evaluation of Danzo.
A complete beast.
Especially Tsunade, who was from Konoha Village. She never would have imagined that Elder Danzo could have done something so heinous.
No matter what, the Uchiha were still part of the village.
To harm Uchiha ninjas was equivalent to killing comrades.
This was an even more severe crime than betraying the village!
With such a parasite hiding in the village, it was no wonder Konoha had suffered losses in the Third Shinobi World War.
Immediately after, a new passage emerged in the diary.
[Hiruzen Sarutobi must have known about Danzo's underhanded actions in the shadows.]
[But he certainly wouldn't have interfered.]
[After all, the disappearance of the Senju clan might very well have been his doing.]
When this sentence appeared, Tsunade's pupils contracted in shock.
She remembered that after Hiruzen Sarutobi came to power, he proposed that the Senju clan should give up their surname to fully integrate with the village.
Tsunade's lack of a surname was a result of this.
She had always found it strange that, from that point on, the number of Senju clan ninjas began to dwindle.
Could it be that this was also orchestrated by Hiruzen Sarutobi?
Tsunade didn't want to believe that her teacher could do such a thing.
But recalling how Hiruzen Sarutobi had conducted human experiments that led to the deaths of hundreds of ninjas in the village, she couldn't help but have doubts.
Was Hiruzen Sarutobi really the person she thought he was?
Tsunade waited for a long time, but the diary did not continue updating, leaving her very frustrated.
Why did Night Star Uchiha always stop explaining at the critical moments?
It left her restless, unable to eat or sleep well, and constantly overthinking.
If she ever met this kid, she would definitely flick his forehead hard!
"Tsunade-sama."
Shizune's call brought Tsunade back to reality.
"It's time for us to move on."
"Alright, let's go."
Tsunade stood up expressionlessly. What Shizune didn't notice was that the small pebble in Tsunade's hand had already been crushed into powder by her immense strength.
Doubt had already taken root in her mind—was her younger brother Nawaki's death really just an accident?
If Hiruzen Sarutobi had anything to do with it…
A faint killing intent flashed in Tsunade's almond-shaped eyes.
If that were the case, she would avenge her brother, even if it meant bearing the name of a teacher-slayer.
...
The next morning.
[Ding! Daily record completed. Reward received: Water Release talent enhancement, Chakra capacity increase.]
Just as Night Star woke up, he heard the system notification echoing in his mind.
After using the system for some time, he had roughly figured out the patterns of the diary's rewards.
First and foremost, the best rewards came from special record tasks, like the one with Asuma.
But such tasks were rare and hard to come by.
He had thought that yesterday's encounter with Mangetsu Hozuki and Fuguki Suikazan might trigger one, but the diary didn't react at all.
In hindsight, it made sense. Their strength was far inferior to his, and it was much less interesting compared to teaching Asuma a lesson in front of the entire Konoha Village.
Night Star hadn't pursued the two from Kirigakure yesterday, not because he couldn't kill them.
It was because he believed that killing Fuguki Suikazan and Mangetsu Hozuki wouldn't be beneficial.
At least, not beneficial to the Uchiha.
Currently, Konoha was under external wartime pressure, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi without the focus or resources to deal with the Uchiha issue.
Once peace returned, who could say how Konoha's internal situation might unfold?
From this perspective, the wars with Kirigakure and Kumogakure were actually buying time for the Uchiha clan to grow.
Night Star wouldn't miss any opportunity to write in the diary, and this latest analysis was no exception.
On the battlefield, Mei Terumi read the newly updated diary entry and felt a bit surprised.
Although she had never met Night Star, she felt a faint sense of camaraderie with him.
Mei had always been deeply dissatisfied with Kirigakure's harsh policies.
Not just because she was a Kekkei Genkai user herself, but also because the cruel graduation exams at the Ninja Academy made it clear that Kirigakure had no sustainable future.
Many young students who might have been lacking in combat ability were gifted in other areas, such as medical ninjutsu, research, or even ninja tool manufacturing.
But under the Bloody Mist's examination system, these talents were completely disregarded in favor of brute strength.
This produced Kirigakure ninjas with strong combat abilities, but most lacked clear minds and had excessively bloodthirsty and violent personalities.
Simply put, Kirigakure could win battles but not wars.
"Uchiha…"
Through Night Star is diary entries, Mei Terumi had gained a clear understanding of the Uchiha clan's plight in Konoha.
A strange thought suddenly occurred to her.
Perhaps she and Night Star...
Could cooperate?
