Seeing this passage, Kurenai Yuhi seemed to awaken from a dream and murmured to herself.
"So that's how it is."
After the Nine-Tails incident ended a year ago, her father, the Jonin Shinku Yūhi, had once mentioned that someone saved his life in a critical moment.
However, Shinku never revealed who that person was, always keeping it a secret.
"Wait, this doesn't add up."
Kurenai furrowed her brow, thinking back to the time of the Nine-Tails' attack. Didn't the higher-ups say that the Uchiha clan's ninjas didn't come to help at all?
But Night Star clearly participated in the battle and even saved her father.
Moreover, according to Night Star's record, Fugaku Uchiha, the clan head, had intended to lead his people to provide assistance, only to be stopped by that elder called Danzo.
Shouldn't the blame fall squarely on Elder Danzo?
After all, from an outsider's perspective, the night the Nine-Tails went berserk, with the image of the three-tomoe Sharingan in its eyes, it was almost obvious that this incident was tied to the Uchiha clan.
Adding to that, the Uchiha police force didn't come to provide backup on the night of the attack, which only deepened the villagers' suspicions.
Now, looking at things, the truth seemed to be something entirely different.
Kurenai thought, no matter what, just reading this diary wasn't enough.
Perhaps she needed to find time to question Night Star personally.
Just as this thought crossed her mind, a sudden sense of crisis arose in her heart.
In the blank space of the diary, a line of black ink slowly emerged.
"The existence of this diary and its contents must not be revealed to anyone under any circumstances."
"Those who violate this rule will face the punishment of death."
Kurenai, having participated in the Third Shinobi World War and been on the battlefield as an excellent ninja, had never in her life felt such an intense sense of crisis as she did now.
This proved that the diary's warning was no mere bluff.
Meanwhile, in a cave within the Land of Rain, a woman with short blue hair, stunningly beautiful but carrying a cold and commanding aura, also saw this passage.
"Uchiha Night Star… a person who can see the future?"
Konan's beautiful eyes reflected a complex expression.
First came the mysterious masked man claiming to be Madara Uchiha, proposing cooperation with the Akatsuki to collect the Tailed Beasts.
Now there was this strange diary and the individual named Uchiha Night Star, who seemed capable of seeing the future.
The shinobi world had become utterly chaotic.
Konan continued reading.
"It's now a year after the Nine-Tails incident, and during this period, the shinobi world doesn't seem to have many truly strong individuals."
"The ones to watch out for are Killer Bee, the perfect Jinchuriki of the Hidden Cloud Village, and Obito, who possesses the abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan."
"Oh, and also Hanzo of the Salamander, called the 'Demi-God' from the Land of Rain."
Seeing the diary finally mention something of interest, Konan's gaze turned serious.
Hanzo of the Salamander was her greatest enemy in this lifetime.
It was that man who had collaborated with Danzo from the Hidden Leaf Village to destroy the Akatsuki.
Her friend Yahiko had died because of him, Nagato's legs were crippled by an explosion trap, and the overwhelming power of the Rinnegan had left Nagato a disabled man.
This hatred was something Konan could never forget.
She wanted to know how the owner of this diary would evaluate Hanzo of the Salamander.
"I always found it odd. Hanzo's displayed strength doesn't seem to match up with his 'Demi-God' title."
"I remember Nagato eventually killed Hanzo through a sneak attack after creating the Six Paths of Pain."
"But the current Nagato is completely a wreck, unable to even walk on his own. Even with the Rinnegan, he wouldn't be a match for me."
Reading this, Konan's brows furrowed.
Did this Uchiha Night Star have so much confidence in his strength?
He knew Nagato possessed the Six Paths Sage's eyes, yet he didn't show a trace of fear. Just how powerful was this person?
The mention of the Rinnegan in the diary only further convinced Konan.
The diary's owner was certainly no ordinary individual, someone who seemed to know everything.
The content below suddenly shifted in tone.
"The Angel of the Hidden Rain Village, Konan, with her sacred and icy demeanor Wuhoo!"
"Konan's appearance should rank among the top in the original story, right?"
"Six billion explosive tags, a certified rich woman."
"I'd really love to see Konan in a swimsuit."
"Speaking of which, should I join the Akatsuki?"
Reading this, Konan felt a surge of joy in her heart.
She didn't know how powerful Uchiha Night Star truly was, but with him holding so much vital information, if he could join the Akatsuki, her goal of killing Hanzo would be one step closer.
"Forget it, no need. The path of lust is a path to doom."
"Hanzo of the Salamander isn't someone easy to deal with."
"Besides, if Nagato were in full health, he wouldn't even need the Six Paths of Pain; he could defeat Hanzo himself."
"Speaking of which… with the Uzumaki bloodline, if he were to implant the cells of the First Hokage, he might gain the power necessary to fully wield the Rinnegan."
"Alright, that's all for today's diary. Time to claim my reward."
