Diary System—Chapter 3: Smart Little Angel!
"Hanabi! You go ahead first. I have some things to take care of here. I'll join you in a moment," Hinata said with a soft smile, her gentle demeanor reflecting her caring nature.
"What's the matter? Do you need my help?" Hanabi blinked her big eyes, an expression of concern washing over her delicate face.
"No, that's not necessary, Hanabi. You should go ahead first, and please don't keep Father waiting too long," Hinata replied, her voice steady and maternal as she considered their father's expectations.
"But... Sister, do you not need my help?" Hanabi's voice was tinged with worry as she stood there, her small hands clenching nervously.
"Be good, Hanabi. Be obedient!" Hinata gently reached out and touched her sister's head, her tone a blend of love and authority that resonated deeply with what it meant to be a member of the Hyuga clan.
After hearing her sister say this, although Hanabi still had some doubts in her heart, she nodded obediently. "Okay! Then, Sister, I will go first."
Hinata watched as Hanabi's figure gradually faded away, her little footsteps echoing softly down the corridor until she completely disappeared around the corner. Finally, Hinata breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a mixture of pride and protectiveness.
Then, she carefully opened the diary in her hand again, the worn pages tingling with the weight of secrets.
Hinata knew very well that she was not doing this because she wanted to pry into others' inner thoughts, or because she was curious about the so-called time travelers.
The reason she cared so much about this diary was simply that she wanted to confirm whether this teacher named Haruki was dangerous or not.
After all, for Hinata, protecting the important people around her always came first.

[Alas, it's a pity that Hinata is only twelve years old now, and there is still a long way to go before she becomes an adult. I can't have those unrealistic thoughts; otherwise, I will face serious consequences if I'm discovered!]
[But then again, Mitarashi Anko and Yuhi Kurenai in the village are worth considering. Outside the village, there seem to be Mei Terumi, Tsunade, Mabui, Konan, and Kurotsuchi. Hehe, why does it seem like it would be a good idea to travel through the world of Naruto!]

When Hinata read the words in front of her, her heart was instantly overwhelmed by complex emotions.
On the one hand, she felt ecstatic because although Haruki Sensei liked her, he was able to control his emotions well and did not do anything that crossed the line. This perfect restraint made Hinata feel warm and reassured, a feeling that wrapped around her like a comforting blanket.
On the other hand, Hinata couldn't help but feel extremely surprised. What she never expected was that Haruki Sensei was so fickle and liked many girls simultaneously. This revelation left Hinata dumbfounded, her mind racing.
However, surprisingly, despite knowing these circumstances, Hinata instinctively did not think that this was a big problem.
Perhaps it was because she knew that Morikawa Haruki was a time traveler, and in the shinobi world, the strong were respected, so some wealthy tycoons or daimyo married multiple concubines.
Therefore, Hinata believed that she could fully understand Morikawa Haruki's behavior—time travelers had their own set of rules, after all.

[However, at this moment, I am just an insignificant Genin in Konoha Village.]
[Fortunately, I have a wealth of theoretical knowledge and am regarded as an excellent "Successor of the Will of Fire," so I was able to serve as a teacher in the Ninja School!]
[But facing these accomplished kunoichis with distinct personalities and charming features, how could I dare to have any thoughts easily? After all, with my current strength and status, I really can't compete with them!]
[You know, the shinobi world is turbulent and full of dangers.]
[In the unknown future, the extremely powerful Pain will come to Konoha Village. What's even more surprising is that he will carry rice!]
[The Fourth Shinobi World War is about to break out, and various Susanoo giants will engage in a thrilling melee. Even those powerful Kage-level shinobi may become cannon fodder in this war.]
[In addition to the chaos within the Otsutsuki family, there is also an alien invasion. So, in such a serious situation, I should keep a low profile to avoid bringing disaster upon myself.]

At this moment, the many kunoichi who had a copy of the diary showed various complicated expressions on their faces.
"I never thought this guy was a time traveler, and he even knew all the confidential information about Pain. But... what exactly is this 'carrying rice'?" Konan, standing in the Land of Rain (Amegakure), stretched out a slender jade hand to gently touch the raindrops falling from the sky, her brow furrowing in suspicion.
In her other hand, she tightly clutched a copy of Morikawa Haruki's diary—a version that belonged to her filled with his thoughts and revelations.
"The Fourth Shinobi World War broke out... It seems that this catastrophe was instigated by Nagato. He wants to make the whole world immersed in endless pain." Konan whispered, her voice barely above a murmur as she continued to flip through her diary, her doubts growing stronger with each line.
"It's not surprising that a Kage-level shinobi can only serve as cannon fodder in such a war. After all, in front of those powerful beings who are like gods, their power is indeed insignificant." Konan sighed slightly, feeling helpless about this cruel reality that loomed over the world like a shadow.
"But who are the Otsutsuki family? And why did aliens suddenly invade our world?"
After careful consideration, Konan finally confirmed the authenticity of the diary.
She believed that most of the content recorded in it was at least 70% credible. However, with her knowledge and experience, she could only barely guess some possible answers regarding the details before the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Yet, when it came to information about the Otsutsuki clan and alien races, it was completely beyond her understanding and became an unreachable blind spot.
Recalling the fierce wars that had taken place between the five major countries, each one had brought countless traumas and sorrow to the world.
Konan couldn't help but worry: if Akatsuki's plan was successful, would it mean that a more brutal planetary war would be triggered?
"As for anime, it should essentially be the same as traditional storybooks and novels written by Jiraiya-sensei."
At this moment, even Konan, who was usually calm and composed, could not suppress the surprise in her heart.
She frowned slightly, pondering the direction of this puzzling plot, her mind racing as she considered the implications.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in Konan's ears without warning.
"Konan, what happened?"
