The Damp Diary

The following is Hinata's "fantasy" diary—

[When I woke up this morning, my pants and sheets were wet again. Last night, Ying was definitely to blame...]

[No, that's not right. It was me... It was me shamelessly fantasizing about Ying again in my dream. He took off my clothes, caressed my body, and even...]

[I'm truly a wicked and shameless woman.]

[I actually fantasized about Ying lifting my legs and having me brace myself against a wooden post. Then, he held my feet and used his tongue to...]

[Compared to him kissing my eyes, this made me tremble ten times more in my dream.]

[However, it was such a strange dream. I not only heard him speak, but I heard him with exceptional clarity. For example, he called me 'Hinata-baby' and said something about finding a good day to 'deflower' me and 'Tsunade'...]

[Tsunade? That's the name of one of the Legendary Sannin. But why would I dream of that name? And what does 'deflower' mean?]

[It's so strange. I'm also strange. When I looked in the mirror this morning, I couldn't help but touch myself again, and Hanabi caught me. Honestly, I've completely lost my authority in front of my little sister.]

[But thankfully, besides my sister, no one else could possibly know I'm obsessed with Ying.]

[Also, the experience of fighting Ying in my dream seems to have carried over. Yesterday, when I sparred with Father after school, I actually landed a punch on him!]

[Father rarely praises me, and Hanabi was very happy too. But this is all thanks to Ying. Although it was the Ying in my dream, he was so amazing. He actually found a way to counter my father's techniques.]

[I really hope the real Ying is this amazing as well. And if only the real Ying also felt the same way about me...]

At this point, Hinata shyly put down her pen and tucked the notebook inside the lining of her shirt, close to her heart.

The real Uchiha Ying wouldn't like her, let alone do *that* to her. He would only continue to glare at her with disdain.

Forget it. Since Uchiha Ying hates me so much, I might as well let him vent his frustration.

Classes are about to be reassigned. I don't know if I'll be able to see him often afterward...

"S-Sorry, Uchiha Ying... I..."

"Why the sudden apology?"

Uchiha Ying couldn't quite understand this Byakugan girl's train of thought. Given his constant observation of her, *he* should be the one apologizing.

"During the last sparring session, I... I..."

"It was just sparring. Why would I be angry about that?"

"So, please hit me to get it out of your system! I'll wait for you in the hallway around the corner!"

Because of the 'dream,' Hinata's body involuntarily flushed whenever she saw Uchiha Ying, and her mind became a jumble. Mustering the courage to say these words had already exhausted her. So, she completely missed Uchiha Ying's reply.

"Hey..."

This girl didn't seem to listen at all. He already said he wasn't angry, yet she kept trying to run out of the classroom. And she even used the word "please," as if she was eager to be hit.

Could Hinata-baby have masochistic tendencies?

"Sit down and listen!"

Uchiha Ying quickly grabbed Hinata's wrist, stopping her from leaving. However, he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but when he grasped her wrist, the Byakugan girl shivered, her whole body trembling.

"Yes."

Now, the girl became exceptionally quiet and docile. After responding with a soft "yes," blushing and looking down, she sat motionless beside Uchiha Ying without making a sound.

"So, she *does* have a masochistic side?"

Looking at the girl who quieted down with a single word, Uchiha Ying couldn't help but silently think to himself while studying her.

"Oh no, it seems a little..."

Hinata, meanwhile, was mortified to discover that the pants she had just changed this morning were becoming damp again.

He touched my hand, and it was so warm, just as warm as in the dream...

Ahhh, why am I remembering last night's dream now?!

The moment Uchiha Ying touched her, Hinata's mind flooded with all sorts of compromising positions and memories of the exquisite pleasure she only experienced in her dreams.

Ugh...

Thankfully, Uchiha Ying only touched her briefly before letting go; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to control herself.

"Hiruzen, what did Tobirama-sensei give you?!"

Danzo arrived at the Hokage's office early in the morning, having just woken up.

Last night's dream had allowed him to see his teacher, Senju Tobirama, after so long. And Tobirama's first words had reignited his already fervent ambition.

Unify the ninja world!

As expected, only Tobirama-sensei and I have such grand aspirations.

Hmph, and that fool Hiruzen didn't even tell me about something this important!

That's a treasure capable of unifying the ninja world. Since Sensei gave it to you, he must have wanted us to work together to make Konoha great again and then unify the ninja world!

Finally, all of Hiruzen's strange behavior these past few days made sense.

Personally visiting the Senju clan compound, then secluding himself in the Hokage's office, and then summoning a large group of Anbu but doing nothing!

Typical Hiruzen.

Hesitant, weak, utterly useless!

This ambition to unify the ninja world will ultimately fall to me.

Danzo stared intensely at Sarutobi Hiruzen, his heart ablaze as he recalled last night's 'dream.'

What could this treasure that could unify the ninja world be?

Damn it, Tobirama-sensei is so biased, giving the treasure to Hiruzen without even telling me!

Of course, this was all orchestrated by Uchiha Ying to sow discord between Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"You dreamed of Tobirama-sensei too?"

"Tell me, what is this treasure?!"

"Don't be so hasty..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed on his pipe, frowning deeply at his old friend and colleague who was practically in his face. If he weren't Hokage, he believed Danzo would use any excuse to search his home and office.

And yesterday, he had explicitly warned Danzo not to provoke the Uchiha and the Nine-Tails again, yet he disobeyed and sent men to nearly assassinate Uchiha Ying.

Had he given Danzo too much leeway over the years?

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered deeply.

"Sensei favors you, so of course you're not worried. But this is a momentous event. Sensei said he wanted us to work together. Do you intend to hoard it all for yourself?"

Danzo practically spat the words. If Sarutobi Hiruzen weren't Hokage, he would have grabbed him by the throat and demanded an answer.

"Haven't you considered that someone might be manipulating our dreams?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen found it odd that the usually suspicious Danzo had no doubts and simply believed the Tobirama-sensei in his dream.

"Of course I don't..."

Danzo's voice dropped significantly.

Of course, he didn't suspect trickery or genjutsu, because his right eye housed the Mangekyo Sharingan with Kotoamatsukami, the ultimate genjutsu.

How could there be genjutsu in this world that he couldn't see through?

But he couldn't tell Sarutobi Hiruzen this.

"Of course, I suspect someone is behind this, but I still need to know what the treasure is."

Danzo quickly found an excuse, relentlessly pursuing the 'treasure' Sarutobi Hiruzen had obtained.

"It's not a treasure."

Sarutobi Hiruzen almost told Danzo about the 'Future Diary,' but the thought of the diary containing the date and method of his death silenced him. He believed Danzo would help him unify the ninja world, but he also believed that given the opportunity, his old friend would not hesitate to kill him.

"Impossible. If it wasn't a treasure, why would you have mobilized the Anbu yesterday..."

Danzo realized his slip of the tongue and quickly stopped.

"So you *have* been monitoring me?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long drag on his pipe, his expression hardening.

"No, that was just... occasionally..."

Danzo felt a pang of guilt, but he justified his actions. The Hokage should be subject to oversight; he was merely upholding Konoha's laws.

"Enough. Whether our dreams were real or not, you will obey my orders!"

"Hiruzen, you can't do this! You can't keep Sensei's treasure to yourself!"

"I said it's not a treasure. You may leave."

Sarutobi Hiruzen refused to say more.

"You, you'll regret this! Hiruzen!"

Seeing that he wouldn't get anything out of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo slammed the door and stormed out of the Hokage Tower.

"Danzo, remember, *I* am the Hokage!"

After Danzo left, Sarutobi Hiruzen stared out the office window, alone and cold.

Whether the dream was real or not, that 'Future Diary' must never be seen by anyone!
