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

Chapter 32: 032 The Struggle Between Humans and Tailed Beasts



Faced with the imposing and oppressive chakra fluctuations of the Mizukage Yagura, Night Star merely smiled.

"Is it just you?"

Although Yagura was controlled by the Mangekyou Sharingan, it only achieved complete obedience without robbing him of his consciousness.

Seeing Night Star so relaxed in the face of himself, Yagura's body was covered in a dark red chakra cloak as he spoke coldly.

"Arrogant brat. Even in the face of death, your mouth is still so sharp. Truly, a member of the Uchiha clan."

Despite his baby face, Yagura was already quite old, so calling the sixteen-year-old Night Star a brat was perfectly normal.

"Three-Tails..."

Seeing the three chakra tails behind Yagura, Night Star merely sneered dismissively.

"If it were the Nine-Tails or the Eight-Tails, perhaps it would be tricky to deal with. But it seems like you overestimate the power of the Three-Tails."

Engaging in battle with a Jinchūriki was undoubtedly an intriguing matter for him, and naturally, he recorded it in his diary.

[If it's just the Three-Tails, dealing with it shouldn't be too difficult.]

When this line appeared in the diary, kunoichi across the Shinobi World reading it fell silent.

They rubbed their eyes and confirmed several times that they hadn't misread it—Night Star had indeed written this sentence.

"This boy has gone mad!"

Tsunade's pupils contracted, and her fair hands trembled slightly.

In the Shinobi World, there was an unspoken rule everyone understood:

The only thing that can counter a Tailed Beast is another Tailed Beast.

In front of those monsters with enormous chakra reserves, humans seemed so insignificant.

Even the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash, an unparalleled warrior during the Third Great Ninja War, had to sacrifice his life to seal the Nine-Tails.

While the Three-Tails was weaker than the Nine-Tails, it was still a genuine Tailed Beast!

Was Night Star planning to face the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails from the Mist Village alone?

It was sheer madness, akin to a death wish!

Tsunade gritted her teeth, thinking that no matter how rational Night Star usually was, deep down, he was still an Uchiha—proud and arrogant to a fault.

If it were anyone else from Konoha marching to their death, she would have remained indifferent.

But Night Star was different.

Tsunade had begun to harbor suspicions about many things.

The truth she sought might very well be found through Night Star Uchiha.

Even for this alone, she couldn't let him die.

Resolving herself, Tsunade crossed her arms and called out.

"Shizune!"

"Lady Tsunade."

"Inform the Yamanaka clan ninjas to use every means possible to contact Orochimaru on the front lines immediately!"

Seeing the rare seriousness on Tsunade's face, Shizune asked no questions, responding promptly and setting off to arrange it.

The Yamanaka clan's secret techniques, in addition to controlling enemy bodies during combat, could also be used for remote communication.

In fact, this ability was originally not designed for battle.

Thirty seconds later, Shizune returned, leading Tsunade to a group of Yamanaka clan ninjas wearing communication equipment and looking strained.

"Lady Tsunade, we've made contact with Lord Orochimaru's unit."

"Good."

Tsunade nodded and issued her command.

"Tell Orochimaru to use a secret technique to search the surrounding area within several dozen kilometers for any intense chakra fluctuations and report the precise location to me."

"Understood, Lady Tsunade."

Meanwhile, on the front lines:

"Lord Orochimaru, Lady Tsunade, the rear command officer, has sent a request to search for any strong chakra reactions nearby!"

A pale-skinned man with unnerving golden slitted eyes and purple markings around them smirked playfully at the report.

"Oh? Tsunade taking the initiative to contact me—how rare."

Orochimaru licked his lips with interest.

He recalled that when Tsunade left years ago, she had declared that no matter what happened in Konoha, it would no longer concern her.

Her sudden contact now was truly intriguing.

As Orochimaru was about to continue, another subordinate burst into the tent, looking anxious as they reported.

"Lord Orochimaru, five kilometers southeast of our camp, the Hyūga clan has detected a Tailed Beast's chakra presence, and..."

"And what?"

"They also saw someone summoning the Triple Rashōmon and engaging the Jinchūriki in battle!"

"Rashōmon?"

Hearing this name, Orochimaru was momentarily stunned.

That technique was one of his signature jutsu.

While he had taught it to his disciple Anko Mitarashi, her talent was limited—she couldn't even summon one Rashōmon, let alone three.

Was there another person in the Shinobi World who could use this jutsu?

Orochimaru stepped out of the tent, gazing in the reported direction, a smile creeping onto his face as he murmured to himself.

"Interesting."

"It's been a long time since I've been this curious."
