Naruto's Diary
June 11th, 1932
Arrrrrrgh!
Who's idea was it was it to have a "pure genjutsu" competition? Most boring thing imaginable. It's an illusion contest where we don't get to see the illusions. Honestly, they just sit there, maybe do some motions with their hands, until one gets uncle. Heck most get called by overtime, under "technical points" The most interesting thing that happens is maybe one of em randomly starts clucking like a chicken.
But Ino was competing, and Sakura dragged me along. One minute fighting like cats then forcing everyone else to go watch, I will never understand girls. Now I have nothing but respect for Ino, she's always classy, but damn if this ain't the most boring thing possible. Most interesting thing that happened was before the competition there was a big fight with some of the other genin. Didn't understand it myself, something bout them wanting Ino barred. Something about Ino's being genjutsu vs ninjutsu, I asked Sakura but she just went on about chakra connections, and effect vs illusion and ugh. She affects people's minds, nothing real, that's all genjutsu is. Luckily the proctors agree with me, would've felt real bad for her if not.
The only other incident was with one young lady with a guitar, she started strumming that thing and… Well it was the prettiest thing I heard, or saw. I think every guy (and maybe a few girls) in the audience was mesmerized (wish I could see Sasuke then, bet that old eye might not of been so high and mighty) but like I said I was just focused on her.
Lot o' her opponents just gave in themselves, or judges declared her the winner. (little know fact bout the pure genjutsu competition: mesmerizing the judges counts as a win) But Ino was cool as a cucumber, took her right over and then changed the lyrics, so it was bout her big nose and silly face, ended the illusion right there. Boy was she pissed, made a scene.
Now we have to go watch the applied genjutsu. That's a bit better, it demonstrates genjutsu's usage for setting up advantages, not the knockout punch. So they can use basic ninja techniques, but no other chakra stuff.
Ino's diary 6/11/32
Sorry I haven't had time to write, all the genjutsu competitions are today and I've just had no time.
Diary, some people can jest be so... uncouth. Jealousy is a terrible thing, and to block someone from completion just because they can't stand up to my techniques? Well it's just the saddest thing, isn't it? Luckily the judges saw things my way.
The other finalist… well I don't want to be rude, and it would be just un-Christian to insult a guest, but guests ought to have some manors. And some people, it's just so sad. She had to strum that guitar of hers, leading all those hearts on. Now you know I think nothing's more sacred than love, and I just couldn't see her go on like that. So I waited till we fought each other, and I showed them all what she was really about.
Nothing's sadder than a woman who can't admit defeat. Sakura, bless her heart, is smart as a sage in most things, but just can't admit when she's beat in love. Still, Sakura was a saint next to the Sound girl. She was a wailing and a hollering and a threatening, even after she lost. There's nothing more noble than to surrender with dignity, even if you lost you still have your pride. Getting all emotional and angry is just sad.
Now I gotta go, the practical rounds starting up, and I aim to sweep this as well.
...
THAT BITCH, SHE HIT ME IN THE FACE WITH HER GUITAR IN THE FINAL ROUND! I'M GONNA MAKE HER HANG HERSELF!
