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

While turning away, Night Star is mind was once again filled with the sound of a notification.

[Ding! Mission triggered.]

[Objective: Uncover the truth behind Nawaki's death.]

[Reward: Slight increase in chakra reserves.]

[Additional Task 1: Discover the true reason behind the Senju clan's disappearance.]

[Completion Reward: The power of Wood Release.]

[Additional Task 2: After completing the above objectives, gather all evidence and reveal the truth to Tsunade.]

[Completion Reward: Significant enhancement in medical ninjutsu talent, Yin Seal, and Creation Rebirth Technique.]

Night Star did not expect that after triggering the task of healing Nagato, he could take on another mission simultaneously.

This diary is surprisingly user-friendly.

However, the missions issued this time seem simple on the surface but are actually much harder than healing Nagato.

These three objectives clearly indicate that the demise of the Senju clan and Nawaki's death harbor an unknown conspiracy.

Night Star didn't even need to guess to know that it was likely another underhanded act by the "Konoha Four Elders."

The Senju clan what kind of existence was that?

They were the clan that produced two Hokage and co-founded Konoha alongside the Uchiha!

If Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura had indeed conspired in secret to silence the Senju clan, their downfall would be inevitable once exposed.

In the best-case scenario, they would be forced to step down amid public outcry. In the worst-case scenario, they might be labeled as traitors.

Such crucial evidence that pertains to life and death must be hidden in an extremely secret place.

While contemplating, Night Star didn't miss the chance to record in his diary and immediately began writing.

[The truth behind Nawaki's death is the task I should prioritize first.]

[Come to think of it, he was the direct descendant of the First Hokage and the heir of the Senju lineage.]

[Look at Asuma Sarutobi what kind of treatment does he receive in the village? During his Genin days, he never left the village for missions.]

[Even when he became a Chunin during the Third Shinobi World War, he was sent to carefully selected, relatively safe locations without overly powerful enemies.]

[This is what proper protection looks like.]

[The idea that Nawaki could sacrifice himself by stepping on an explosive tag trap is utterly absurd.]

[During my conversation with Tsunade earlier, I mentioned a detail to her.]

[Why wasn't the Hyuga ninja, mainly responsible for trap detection, part of Nawaki's team at that time?]

[Given the personalities of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, they would typically shirk all responsibility and prearrange a scapegoat.]

[In this case, the most likely scapegoats are the Hyuga clan.]

[This means I need to start by investigating the Hyuga clan to find a breakthrough.]

Hiding behind a large tree, Tsunade felt her diary heat up slightly and immediately took it out.

She was curious to know what Night Star was thinking.

The first sentence that caught her eye left her stunned.

[The truth behind Nawaki's death is the task I should prioritize first.]

This single line of small black text seemed to etch itself onto her heart, making it impossible for her to look away.

"So… Night Star cares about my request so much that he calls it the first task to complete?"

This thought made Tsunade's face flush with warmth.

The two had never had any prior interaction.

The Senju and Uchiha only cooperated briefly during Konoha's founding.

Later, due to Madara Uchiha's control of the Nine-Tails and the policies implemented during the Second Hokage's tenure, irreconcilable animosity arose between the two clans.

Then why?

Why does Night Star care so much about her request?

Tsunade could only think of one explanation.

"But… there's such an age gap between us…"

She muttered to herself, feeling her face heat even more than the diary in her hand.

Meanwhile, Night Star remained unaware that his simple words had left such a profound impact on Tsunade.

To him, it merely seemed like the easiest task with the most basic reward, so it made sense to prioritize it.

"Orochimaru."

Hearing Night Star is call, Orochimaru, who was crouching and analyzing the battlefield traces, raised his head with a sly smile.

"What is it, Night Star-kun?"

Night Star wasted no words and went straight to the point.

"I need cells from the First Hokage. The more, the better."

Hearing the mention of the First Hokage's cells, Orochimaru's slit pupils glinted, and his smile instantly vanished.

"How do you know about that?"

"It doesn't matter."

Night Star replied calmly, staring directly into Orochimaru's golden, slit-like eyes without showing the slightest hint of panic despite the intense killing intent emanating from him.

"You are a researcher. You should understand the value of knowledge. Bring me the First Hokage's cells, and I'll exchange them for valuable knowledge I possess."

"Oh? Interesting."

Hearing the word "exchange," Orochimaru licked his lips with interest.

"Even though I'm the head of the research department, it'll take considerable effort to secretly retrieve those cells without drawing attention. Does the knowledge you possess hold equivalent value?"

"Of course."

Night Star smiled slightly and said slowly.

"With the knowledge I provide, you'll be able to develop the long-pursued jutsu that transcends death."
