However, a few girls also started to become curious about Lin Mo's appearance.
Is he really that handsome?
"So annoying!" Anko's face flushed crimson, and she attacked again.
Her arms instantly transformed into countless snakes, striking at Lin Mo from all directions.
"Bang!"
Smoke billowed as Lin Mo once again dodged using the Substitution Jutsu (Kawarimi no Jutsu).
But a serious expression had already appeared on his face.
To the other teachers, he seemed to be fumbling, afraid of being hit.
But in reality, he was considering how to contend with Hiruzen Sarutobi if he exposed his strength.
He could be low-key and patient, but he would never allow himself to be bullied without fighting back.
Anko had attacked him, and no matter the reason, he had to respond.
"Swish!"
A shuriken appeared in Lin Mo's hand.
He began to form hand signs, preparing to activate the Shuriken Clone Jutsu.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared between the two of them, shouting, "Stop!"
This person wore an animal mask, clearly an Anbu member under the Hokage.
"Anko Mitarashi, please control your behavior."
The Anbu member walked up to Anko and gave her a look.
Although Anko didn't understand his meaning, she took the hint, snorted, and turned to leave.
"Tsk..." A dangerous glint flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.
Although his and his Shadow Clone's Chakra weren't much, they were definitely much stronger than Anko Mitarashi.
Coupled with the Shadow Clone and the Flying Thunder God Technique, he wasn't afraid of the opponent at all.
But there were many people present now, so there was no need to rush to save face.
However, he couldn't do nothing either.
"Special Jonin Mitarashi, please wait a moment," Lin Mo said.
"What? Do you want to fight me?" Anko turned around and asked, "I always aim for the face when I hit people. Even if you're handsome, I won't go easy on you."
"No, I just have something I want to tell you."
Lin Mo smiled and walked up to Anko.
"What is it? Hurry up and say it," Anko asked, raising her eyebrows, her tone sharp.
This guy was indeed good-looking, but he was terrible at talking.
"Just a heads-up."
Lin Mo quietly approached Anko's ear, gently patted her shoulder, and whispered, "Eat less sweets, or you'll get as fat as a little pig!"
Bang!
As soon as the words "little pig" came out, Anko punched Lin Mo in the stomach.
But the next second, smoke filled the air, and Lin Mo had turned into a log.
Substitution Jutsu (Kawarimi no Jutsu) again!
The teachers present secretly admired him, thinking this guy had truly mastered the Three Body Jutsu, skillfully evading even a Special Jonin's attack.
"You infuriate me! I'm definitely going to teach you a good lesson."
Anko quickly formed hand signs, preparing to activate a Ninjutsu.
But the Anbu member was even faster, reaching out to stop her and saying coldly, "Jonin Anko, don't force me to act against you."
The meaning was clear: she shouldn't make a move.
"Hmph!"
Anko glared angrily in a certain direction, then turned and jumped out the window.
Seeing this, the Anbu immediately followed her out.
The two used the Body Flicker Technique and instantly arrived on the rooftop of a tall building.
"Yūgao, why did you stop me from hitting him?" Anko turned around and asked.
"I just wanted to ask, why are you hitting people for no reason?"
The Anbu member removed her mask, revealing a beautiful face; it was Yūgao Uzuki.
She had originally been observing Lin Mo from a hundred meters away, and not long ago, she saw her senior and best friend, Anko Mitarashi, who was two years older than her, storm into the Ninja Academy in a rage.
She felt something was wrong, so she approached to take a look and happened to see Anko ambush Lin Mo.
"What 'no reason'?" Anko said angrily, "That guy can't talk properly."
"Can't talk properly?" Yūgao Uzuki feigned confusion and asked, "What did he say to you?"
Anko blurted out, "He said I would become, become..."
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Anko suddenly got stuck.
Because she remembered that everything Lin Mo had said was written in that mysterious diary.
But she couldn't show the diary to others, so she couldn't prove that what she said was true.
Wasn't this just falsely accusing someone?
"Become a big fat girl?" Yūgao Uzuki suddenly said.
"How did you know!" Anko's eyes widened.
"Because I have this too."
Yūgao Uzuki raised her hand, and Lin Mo's diary copy (Yūgao Uzuki's exclusive) immediately appeared in her hand.
"You have one too!" Anko's face lit up with an excited smile.
She had originally thought she was the most special.
She didn't expect her junior and best friend to be the same.
"Mhm." Yūgao Uzuki nodded gently, then asked, "When did you get this diary?"
"Probably yesterday afternoon," Anko recalled.
"Then we should have gotten them around the same time."
"Is that so? Then do you know why we got this diary?"
"The specific reason isn't clear yet, but I guess it might be because we have some special common ground."
"I see. Besides you and me, does anyone else have this diary?"
"I checked, Hyuga Hinata and Ino Yamanaka both have it. Also, I think Kurenai Yuhi might have it too."
"Yuhi? Speaking of her, I really didn't expect her to end up with Asuma Sarutobi."
"Don't talk nonsense about things that haven't even happened yet." Yūgao Uzuki waved her hand, "From what I know about Yuhi, if she also has this diary and sees its contents, she definitely wouldn't let that happen."
Anko nodded in agreement.
Kurenai Yuhi appeared gentle on the outside, but she was actually very opinionated on the inside.
Even if she knew she was being manipulated, she wouldn't easily be at Hiruzen Sarutobi's beck and call.
"But, you also have this diary, and you still think I shouldn't teach that rude guy a lesson?" Anko asked, her face stern again.
"Should you teach him a lesson?" Yūgao Uzuki retorted, "Did he say you've gained weight recently, or that he would make you gain weight?"
"He just knows the future and has seen me when I'm fat. He just mentioned it casually."
"Not only should you not teach him a lesson, but you should also get along well with him."
Hearing this, Anko's eyes widened instinctively: "Why?!"
"Why not?"
"Because he can help you not turn into a big fat girl!"
Yūgao Uzuki shook her head: "He's seen you when you're fat, so he might also know why you'll get fat. If you know the reason beforehand, wouldn't you be able to avoid it?"
Anko's expression instantly froze upon hearing this.
Thinking it over carefully, she realized she had indeed made a mistake.
Lin Mo wasn't making her fat; he just knew her future and casually mentioned it in his diary.
And she had overreacted.
"Then... what should I do now?" Anko showed expressions of regret and nervousness.
She had inexplicably ambushed him, and her reason was so flimsy.
If she were Lin Mo, she definitely wouldn't give her a good look.
How could she figure out the reason for her weight gain and how to avoid it?
"Oh, you..."
Yūgao Uzuki sighed.
She knew Anko was always impulsive.
Some experiences after Orochimaru's defection had made her sensitive and irritable.
She hadn't expected her to be so impulsive.
"Come up with a plausible reason, and then apologize properly."
"That's the only way I can think of."
Yūgao Uzuki offered her advice.
Seeing Anko hesitate a little, she said seriously, "Of course, if you really can't bring yourself to do it, you can continue to provoke Lin Mo. Maybe when he writes his diary, he'll incidentally write down the reason for your weight gain."
"But I have to warn you, this Lin Mo is a transmigrator. You'll never know how many cards he has up his sleeve. Going against him will only lead to a huge loss."
"Also, this diary is quite strange, and its three reward mechanisms are also quite appealing."
"Although I don't know why we were thrown into this copy, it must be related to Lin Mo."
"If you fall out with him, you might never get the diary again."
"That's all I have to say. As for what to do specifically, you decide for yourself."
What else was there to consider?
"What do I need to consider? I'm not an idiot."
Anko bounced over to Yūgao Uzuki, saying cheerfully, "Yūgao, you have to help me all the way. Give me an idea for an excuse, and then help me figure out the best way to apologize."
Yūgao Uzuki gave a wry smile and said, "Before that, let me see your diary copy."
"Why look at the diary? You have one too?" Anko was full of confusion.
But she was quick, and with a thought, she brought out her diary copy.
"I want to see if the content we're reading is exactly the same."
"Or does this diary display different content for different people?"
Yūgao Uzuki opened her diary, and also had Anko open hers.
The two diaries opened simultaneously, and at first glance, the contents were exactly the same.
Just then, a voice emerged in their ears:
"Detected another diary copy within one meter. Do you want to enable the friend function and add the other party as a friend?"
Yūgao Uzuki and Anko involuntarily looked at each other.
Then, with a shared understanding, they both nodded: "Yes."
"Friend function enabled."
"Sending friend request."
"You have received a friend request from Yūgao Uzuki (Anko Mitarashi). Do you accept?"
The two immediately selected "Yes."
The next second, both diaries automatically flipped to the last page.
Their respective names were written in the upper left corner of the page, with their exclusive avatars next to them. The friend list showed the other person's name and avatar.
They could tap the avatars with their fingers or operate with their minds.
After tapping, a dialogue box popped up, and they could also leave messages on it mentally.
Yūgao Uzuki: Hello, Anko.
Anko Mitarashi: Yūgao, you're absolutely stunning!
The two girls excitedly started experimenting.
After some exploration, they finally understood how to use the friend function.
In fact, it was just a real-time remote chat tool, somewhat like a radio.
However, this diary's chat methods had three modes: "message," "voice," and "video."
Message was typing chat, voice was talking chat, and video was chatting while seeing what the other person's side looked like.
All three methods consumed Chakra.
The farther the distance, the more Chakra was consumed.
If the distance was the same and the content was also the same, video consumed more than voice, and voice consumed more than message.
Yūgao Uzuki was a Jonin, and Anko Mitarashi was a Special Jonin, so both of them had ample Chakra.
Within a hundred-meter range, they could chat all day in voice mode.
As for sending messages, that depended on the number of words.
"So fun."
"And quite practical."
Yūgao Uzuki said with sparkling eyes, "From now on, we can completely use this to chat, and even transmit intelligence."
"Even when going out on missions, we can contact each other and send out messages."
"This speed is incredibly fast. If it were used on the battlefield..."
Yūgao Uzuki's heart trembled fiercely.
Back in the Third Great Ninja War, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was Konoha's great hero.
Not only did he have outstanding military achievements, but he could also instantly transfer across battlefields using the Flying Thunder God Technique, transmitting messages as fast as lightning.
And now, she and Anko also had this ability.
"That's amazing!" Anko exclaimed, "Yūgao, you're right, I need to go apologize to Lin Mo."
"I can't bear to return something so fun."
Yūgao Uzuki was speechless, thinking: You finally get it!
In fact, Yūgao Uzuki and Anko Mitarashi weren't the only ones who discovered this function.
Hyuga Hinata and Ino Yamanaka had discovered it even earlier than them, but these two girls didn't delve much into it and were temporarily just using it for convenient private conversations.
Ino Yamanaka: Hinata, class is almost over, are you ready?
Hyuga Hinata: Mhm.
Ino Yamanaka: Remember, as soon as the bell rings, we bolt. I'm afraid Teacher Lin Mo went out to buy food.
Hyuga Hinata: Mhm mhm, okay.
"Ding~"
As soon as the class bell rang.
"Alright..."
Iruka clapped his hands, about to announce the end of class.
"Charge!"
Ino Yamanaka suddenly pulled Hinata to her feet and rushed straight for the classroom door.
Bang!
By the time the two ran out the door, Iruka had just come back to his senses, his mouth twitching.
If Naruto did that, he would definitely stop him.
But Ino and Hinata's grades were top-notch in the class.
So... was his class really that hard to endure?
"Whoosh!"
Sakura Haruno, who was first in the theoretical exam, also rushed out of the classroom.
"Is class over?"
Naruto stood up, picked up his apology letter, and said, "Teacher Lin Mo, I'm here."
Another one rushed out of the classroom.
Iruka was speechless: ...I'm exhausted. Maybe I should just cancel this class!
"Finally, it's time."
"For lunch, I'll still go to Ichiraku Ramen."
As soon as the class bell rang, Lin Mo slowly stood up from his chair. He had been slacking off and daydreaming all morning.
He had sensory abilities, and had actually recognized Yūgao Uzuki early on, guessing that she was sent by the Hokage to keep an eye on him.
So when Yūgao Uzuki took Anko away, he didn't stop her. He also took the opportunity to provoke Anko, secretly leaving a Flying Thunder God Mark on her, planning to get revenge later.
He never let his guard down easily with anyone, even if they were beautiful women.
Then he started thinking about cultivation.
Although he had a diary and could learn Ninjutsu by writing in it daily, he thought it would be good to practice with Shadow Clones, try to learn some simple Ninjutsu, and increase his combat skills.
The whole morning had just drifted by like that.
The soul of an eater was calling; it was time to eat.
"Hmm?"
He opened the office door and paused.
He saw Hyuga Hinata and Ino Yamanaka standing at the doorway, panting, their faces slightly flushed.
