NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 28: 028 Awkward Friend
Seeing that Night Star did not respond, Mei Terumi felt uneasy in her heart.
Even with the diary's contents as a backup, she could not be certain what his true thoughts were.
There was another detail that Mei Terumi paid close attention to.
When facing her, Night Star always maintained a very relaxed sitting posture.
This could only mean one of two things: trust, or...
The two had never met before and were from opposing camps, so it was certainly not due to trust.
That left only one explanation.
Even knowing she possessed two Kekkei Genkai abilities, Night Star still did not feel that she posed any threat.
This composure was something only a top-tier strong individual could emanate.
Mei Terumi did her best to calm the nervousness in her heart. She didn't want Night Star to notice any flaws and maintained her composure as she spoke.
"I'll be straightforward. I want to eliminate the top-tier ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village who support the Bloody Mist policies. Without them, there is hope for the future of the Hidden Mist."
The next second, Mei Terumi mustered her courage and met Night Star's gaze directly.
"Frankly speaking, your Uchiha clan, as Konoha's police force, has always done the kind of work that offends people. The Uchiha also need an opportunity to showcase their importance to the village."
Night Star had to admit that Mei Terumi's words made a lot of sense.
He hadn't forgotten about the diary. Since it was a new day, he immediately recorded his thoughts.
[Just like Mei Terumi said.]
[With the Uchiha clan's immense strength, they should be admired and respected by the villagers, not loathed and resented as they are now.]
[The root cause lies in the police force's position.]
[It's said to have law enforcement power, but in reality, it's just a job that constantly offends people.]
[Most importantly, the Uchiha clan's Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan, requires strong emotional fluctuations to activate.]
[Since the police force's establishment decades ago, the Uchiha's overall strength has significantly declined compared to the Warring States Period.]
[Even the Hyuga clan dares to claim they are the strongest in Konoha now. How laughable.]
[Second Hokage Tobirama Senju truly lived up to his name.]
[The establishment of the police force seemed to grant the Uchiha privileges, but in reality, it created a cage for them.]
Tsunade, who had just finished washing up by the river, was startled when she saw this new update in the diary.
She hadn't expected her granduncle to be so deeply strategic.
She had always thought her granduncle created the police force and handed it to the Uchiha clan merely to appease them.
It turned out her perspective was too narrow.
Meanwhile, in Konoha Village...
Yugao Uzuki and Kurenai Yuhi were sitting in a breakfast shop, chatting and eating.
Suddenly, both of them froze.
Every time the diary updated, there was a distinct burning sensation.
"Uh..."
Unable to contain her curiosity, Kurenai Yuhi wanted to see what Night Star had written today. She immediately stood up and, pretending to be calm, said:
"I need to use the restroom."
Yugao Uzuki had a similar reaction, brushing her hair aside.
"Oh, I just remembered I need to go buy something."
Their words came out almost simultaneously.
They froze again, their gazes meeting mid-air.
Without speaking, the two, who had been friends for years, understood each other's thoughts.
Do you have a diary too?
I do. Didn't expect you to have one as well.
"Haha..."
Both of them laughed awkwardly, sat back down, and pulled out their diaries to read.
Since the diaries were invisible to others, they didn't worry about being punished for reading them.
"So, the purpose of the police force's establishment was this..."
Reading Night Star's updated entry, they both had the same thought.
The next second, Yugao Uzuki and Kurenai Yuhi exchanged a glance. Their faces suddenly flushed as if they had thought of something embarrassing.
"I'm doomed, I'm doomed. Kurenai can also see the diary. Doesn't that mean she knows I went to look for Night Star and said something weird?"
Yugao Uzuki wished she could find a hole to crawl into at this moment.
Although Night Star hadn't explicitly written what she had said, that made it even more embarrassing.
What if Kurenai Yuhi imagined something strange?
Coincidentally, Kurenai Yuhi felt the same way. She found it incredibly awkward that her friend Yugao Uzuki now knew about her going to talk to Night Star.
Silence blanketed the moment.
...
Elsewhere.
After writing his entry, Night Star looked up at Mei Terumi in front of him and smiled.
"So, you think there's a way to both elevate the Uchiha clan's position in the village and take this opportunity to get rid of those in your village… let's call them the Bloody Mist faction, right? You think there's a way to eliminate those ninjas from the Bloody Mist faction?"
Seeing his smiling face, Mei Terumi was momentarily dazed.
He looked unbelievably handsome.
