Writing a Diary in the Shinobi World, and the Kunoichi Are Shocked

Amid the smoke of the barbecue, Asuma's face grew increasingly blurry, and no one noticed the deeply conflicted look in his eyes at that moment.

"By the way."

Night Star placed a piece of beef on the iron plate, listening to the sizzling sound of the oil and speaking with a light laugh.

"Perhaps the Hokage had long known that the Nine-Tails' rampage had nothing to do with our Uchiha clan, yet still allowed the villagers to pin the blame on us."

Hearing such disrespectful words about Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kakashi frowned slightly.

"That's a bit much. At the time, the Nine-Tails' eyes showed the three-tomoe Sharingan pattern. It's a reasonable suspicion for the Hokage to think it was the Uchiha clan, right?"

Night Star glanced at him and retorted.

"You also have a Sharingan. Why wasn't it you controlling it?"

"That..."

Kakashi was left speechless because he did indeed have an implanted Sharingan from Obito.

"Oh? You truly weren't suspected?"

Seeing Kakashi's reaction, Night Star is expression turned somewhat meaningful.

[It seems Kakashi Hatake hasn't informed the village higher-ups about possessing a Mangekyou Sharingan.]

Yugito and Mabui, who were reading the diary: Seriously?

Does Konoha have another Mangekyou?

Wait, Kakashi Hatake?

Isn't he the son of Konoha's White Fang, known for copying all ninjutsu with the Sharingan, one of Konoha's most famous prodigies?

Kakashi's talent and strength were already well-known in Kumogakure, though they hadn't yet encountered him on the battlefield.

If that guy possesses the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan, like Madara Uchiha...

How terrifying could his power become?

Kakashi had no idea that, because of a single line Night Star wrote in his diary, he had become one of Kumogakure's most guarded enemies.

[Why didn't he say anything?]

[Logically, even if Kakashi passed out when the Mangekyou activated, he should still have noticed that his left eye had changed significantly, with his visual prowess greatly enhanced.]

[There are several possibilities.]

[The first is that he doesn't want the Uchiha clan to know that Obito's eye has evolved into a Mangekyou and to reclaim it.]

[After all, it was his friend's final gift to him.]

[The second is that he simply doesn't know about the Mangekyou Sharingan beyond the three-tomoe form. Being a non-Uchiha, he might think such power is normal for a three-tomoe Sharingan.]

[The last possibility, and the one I most hope for, is this.]

[Kakashi Hatake deliberately concealed information about the Mangekyou Sharingan because he doesn't fully trust the village higher-ups.]

[It makes sense.]

[When Kakashi was a child, he might not have noticed, but as an adult with a sharper mind, how could he not suspect the many inconsistencies surrounding his father's death?]

Reading these words, Tsunade, who had just returned home from dinner, froze in place.

Not only her younger brother Nawaki, but even Konoha's White Fang's death was related to the village higher-ups?

[Sakumo Hatake, known as Konoha's White Fang, was a hero of the Second Shinobi World War, someone even the Sannin called a senior.]

[I recall that when Kakashi was young, the shinobi world was not in a state of war; it was a time of peace.]

[In peacetime, what kind of critical mission could lead a hero of White Fang's caliber to be condemned by the entire village for a single failure?]

Tsunade furrowed her brows, taking a deep swig from her sake bottle.

Indeed, as Night Star said, for ordinary shinobi, mission failure is an unforgivable matter.

But for someone like White Fang or the Sannin, tasked with the most challenging missions, it's impossible to succeed every time.

Take her, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, for instance. During their mission in the Land of Rain, their unit was wiped out due to Hanzo's interference.

Condemned by the entire village for a single mission failure? It truly is bizarre.

Tsunade sighed deeply, leaning her smooth forehead against her hand and murmuring.

"Teacher, just how much wrong have you done over the years?"

[Perhaps Kakashi could be useful to me.]

After jotting down this conclusion, the day's diary entry was complete.

During dinner, apart from the silent Asuma, the group chatted and laughed together.

Since graduation, it had been a long time since they had all gathered like this.

Toward the end, Might Guy patted his round belly and suddenly sighed.

"If Rin and Obito were here, it would be perfect."

Kakashi keenly noticed that when Guy mentioned these two comrades who had died on missions, Yugao and Kurenai's expressions turned peculiar.

Usually, hearing Rin and Obito's names would bring sadness to their eyes.

Now, they seemed to be hiding something.

As Kakashi pondered this, Asuma suddenly slammed his chopsticks on the table, staring directly into Night Star is eyes, and said in a firm tone.

"I'm leaving the village tomorrow morning, but before I go, I want to spar with you one more time!"
