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

"Are you saying... the legendary Rinnegan?"

Even with Orochimaru's temperament, when hearing this astonishing news, an expression of disbelief flickered in his eyes.

"Does someone in this world really possess such eyes?"

"When the time comes, you'll see it with your own eyes and believe it."

Faced with this condition proposed by Night Star, Orochimaru found it hard to refuse.

The Sage of Six Paths was the founder of Ninjutsu and revered as the progenitor of the ninja world, akin to a god.

What kind of power could be hidden within his eyes?

Perhaps the answer to life and death itself lay within them.

"Alright."

Without the slightest hesitation, Orochimaru gently pushed the glass bottle toward Night Star.

"First, tell me the knowledge about developing the ultimate forbidden jutsu."

Night Star placed the glass bottle into his chest pocket, then took out a scroll and placed it before Orochimaru.

"It's all recorded in there."

With that, he stood up and left the laboratory.

Unable to restrain his eagerness, Orochimaru opened the scroll. However, the instant he saw its contents, his expression changed.

The way he held the scroll shifted from a casual single-handed grip to carefully cradling it with both hands as he meticulously read every word.

The more he read, the more pronounced the shock in his golden slit-pupiled eyes became.

The contents were simple Night Star is theories linking chakra, soul, and body into an interconnected whole.

To an ordinary ninja, this information was utterly useless, as understanding it would be impossible.

Moreover, even if they could comprehend such advanced theoretical knowledge, it wouldn't directly enhance their strength. So, what would be the point?

But for Orochimaru, who was currently researching the Living Corpse Reincarnation technique, this scroll was nothing short of priceless!

It illuminated a new path for him.

If the role of chakra could ensure the soul remains undamaged during body transfers, wouldn't that essentially grant immortality in another form?

And through this method, he could even utilize others' unique kekkei genkai abilities while occupying their bodies!

This was nothing less than a heaven-defying revelation.

"Fascinating. Truly fascinating."

Orochimaru licked his lips, recalling how his former friend Hiruko had once mentioned a similar technique to seize others' talents.

Who would have thought that beyond his astounding strength, Night Star Uchiha also possessed such incredible talent in scientific research?

What a pity he was born into the Uchiha clan.

Otherwise, Orochimaru would have considered taking Night Star as his apprentice.

...

Elsewhere, after leaving the laboratory, Night Star walked down the street, making notes in his mind.

"The First Hokage's cells are now in my possession. Next, it's time to head to the Land of Rain."

Upon seeing this entry appear in the diary, Konan, who was nibbling on a grilled fish with her hands, couldn't help but smile.

Night Star Uchiha truly was reliable. It had only been just over a month, yet he had already prepared everything.

"I'll bring Orochimaru along. He'll be an additional Kage-level ally."

"Orochimaru?"

Seeing this name, Konan couldn't help but recall when she, Nagato, and Yahiko had first met Jiraiya years ago.

At the time, Orochimaru and Tsunade had been by Jiraiya's side.

For the three orphans from the Land of Rain, Tsunade's approach had been to share food, Jiraiya's was to take responsibility, while Orochimaru's had been brutally honest.

He had suggested that rather than leaving the three children to suffer through war, he could personally end Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato's lives to bring them peace.

Of course, Orochimaru's attempt had been stopped by Tsunade and Jiraiya before he could act.

The killing intent she'd felt from Orochimaru back then still made Konan's skin crawl whenever she recalled it.

Now, Night Star intended to bring Orochimaru along?

A Kage-level ally?

Did that mean he would assist her and Nagato in killing Hanzo the Salamander?

But what would the cost be?

Konan had come to realize that while Night Star is diary often included casual remarks, he was, in truth, an extremely pragmatic person who wouldn't be swayed by mere beauty.

Hanzo the Salamander was renowned as a demi-god of the ninja world, a figure on par with Konoha's Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

What kind of price would be required to trade for his life?

Sighing softly, Konan put the diary away and stepped into a cave.

Inside stood a man with orange hair, black piercings across his face, and a cold, lifeless demeanor.

Or rather, he was nothing more than a corpse.

"Nagato, I need to talk to you."

The Deva Path Pain, controlled by Nagato's Rinnegan, replied in an icy tone.

"Do not call me Nagato. From now on, I am Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki."

Konan sighed lightly, gazing at the figure crafted from Yahiko's corpse, her eyes brimming with complicated emotions.

She could sense Nagato's mind becoming increasingly twisted.

Was the Akatsuki still the same organization the three of them had founded, aiming for peace?

Yahiko's dream of achieving eternal peace through mutual understanding and dialogue seemed like nothing more than a pipe dream now.

"I know someone who can heal your body. He should arrive in the Land of Rain in the coming days."

Pain's expression remained unchanged as he replied slowly.

"Night Star Uchiha?"

Konan froze for a moment.

"How do you..."

"Zetsu already informed me. He said you went to the frontlines of the Mist and Leaf conflict and met someone named Night Star Uchiha."

"That guy..."

Konan frowned slightly, thinking about that half-black, half-white creature and its loose tongue.

Standing before the massive Gedo Statue, the Deva Path Pain raised his hands.

"Only mortals require healing."

"A god needs no assistance from anyone."

.....

Later.

"Hey, old man! One bowl of pork bone char siu ramen!"

Teuchi, busy behind the counter, heard Night Star is order and slung his towel over his shoulder with a cheerful response.

"Got it! Coming right up!"

As a transmigrator, Night Star naturally knew about the most famous eatery in Konoha and the entire ninja world Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto's favorite spot.

Having tasted it once, he could attest to its deliciousness.

Plus, this was one of the few establishments in the village willing to serve members of the Uchiha clan.

A few minutes later, a cute little girl wearing an apron brought a steaming bowl of ramen to him.

"Lord Night Star, please enjoy."

The girl, Ayame, was only six years old at this time, not yet the charming young woman whose smile was said to be the best seasoning at Ichiraku Ramen.

Night Star smiled and nodded.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Ayame blushed slightly and shyly returned to the kitchen.

Just as Night Star picked up his chopsticks to start eating, he heard the sound of approaching footsteps.

"Bang!"

A sake bottle slammed onto the counter, and a fragrant aroma wafted to his nose.

"Hey, kid!"

Tsunade, her face flushed with drunkenness, slung her left arm around Night Star is neck and spoke boldly.

"Why haven't you come to see me lately?"
