Ninja World Live Stream: My Pet Rabbit is Kaguya?!

[Senju Tobirama]: If you weren't Hokage, you'd be called a fat lamb too.

[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Eh...

[Fifth Mizukage - Mei Terumi]: Let's get back on topic.

[Fifth Mizukage - Mei Terumi]: Jiraiya, what do you mean about Nagato?

[Fifth Mizukage - Mei Terumi]: He also has the Rinnegan? Wasn't his name Pain originally?

[Minato Namikaze]: …

[Minato Namikaze]: Now that you mention it, I do remember Jiraiya-sensei mentioning the Rinnegan.

[Pervy Sage]: …

[Pervy Sage]: About that…

[Pervy Sage]: Sigh…

[Pervy Sage]: Here's what happened.

[Pervy Sage]: During the Second Great Ninja War, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and I participated in the battle with Amegakure. On our retreat, we encountered three children.

[Pervy Sage]: They were all from the Hidden Rain but begged Konoha ninjas to teach them ninjutsu.

[Pervy Sage]: They wanted the strength to protect themselves.

[Pervy Sage]: I couldn't bear to refuse, so I taught them.

[Pervy Sage]: I also discovered that one of the children—Nagato—was a member of the Uzumaki Clan and possessed the Rinnegan.

[Pervy Sage]: I used to think that was just a legendary eye.

[Pervy Sage]: At that time, I had already begun training at Mount Myōboku and made some progress.

[Pervy Sage]: Then, I was entrusted by the Great Toad Sage with a mission to find the Child of Prophecy.

[Senju Tobirama]: The Child of Prophecy?

[Senju Tobirama]: What's that supposed to mean?

[Pervy Sage]: Uh, that...

[Minato Namikaze]: I know this story. Jiraiya-sensei told me once. It started when he was a kid, taught by the Third...

[Senju Tobirama]: ?

[Senju Tobirama]: Hiruzen was connected to Mount Myōboku?

[Pervy Sage]: Uh, let me explain.

[Pervy Sage]: I was a talentless kid, dead last in class, so the Third Hokage tried to give me extra training.

[Pervy Sage]: He gave me a summoning beast contract—supposedly to form a contract with Enma. But I failed and accidentally reverse-summoned myself to the beasts' realm.

[Pervy Sage]: That place turned out to be one of the three great training grounds—Mount Myōboku.

[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: That's incredible. You reverse-summoned yourself right from the start.

[Senju Tobirama]: And the place you ended up in was actually one of the great training lands.

[Fifth Mizukage - Mei Terumi]: The Three Great Training Grounds… Why have I never heard of them?

[Senju Tobirama]: …

[Senju Tobirama]: Probably because of differences in the summoning system.

[Senju Tobirama]: In the Hidden Mist, summoning beasts are usually water-based and live near the sea. But in Konoha, it's more related to forests.

[Pervy Sage]: Exactly. Tsunade's summon is also from one of the three great lands—Slug Sage from the Shikkotsu Forest.

[Pervy Sage]: And Orochimaru is connected to Ryūchi Cave.

[Senju Tobirama]: …

[Senju Tobirama]: Orochimaru… let's skip that topic for now.

[Pervy Sage]: …Okay.

Jiraiya could tell from the atmosphere that the previous Hokage already knew Orochimaru had become a rogue ninja. He felt guilty—he hadn't protected his students nor stopped Orochimaru from straying down the wrong path.

So Jiraiya continued his story.

That accidental visit to Mount Myōboku started an inseparable bond.

The Great Toad Sage was ancient—over a thousand years old, rumored to be a brotherly figure to the Sage of Six Paths, and even saved the ninja world once.

He occasionally had prophetic dreams and had foreseen Jiraiya's arrival at Mount Myōboku, which amazed him.

The Great Toad Sage asked Jiraiya to train there.

Once Jiraiya had completed his training, the Great Toad Sage told him about another prophetic dream: Jiraiya would one day become the teacher of the Child of Prophecy.

Jiraiya's task was to find and properly guide this child.

Jiraiya's influence would be pivotal—if the child was taught well, he would save the world.

But if taught poorly… the child might destroy it.

And so Jiraiya began looking into the Child of Prophecy.

[Pervy Sage]: That's about how it all happened between me and Mount Myōboku.

[Pervy Sage]: So when I met Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko in Amegakure and saw Nagato's Rinnegan, I thought of the prophecy.

[Pervy Sage]: That's why I stayed in Amegakure for a while—my focus was on Nagato.

[Pervy Sage]: But Konan and Yahiko were amazing too. All three of them were good kids.

[Pervy Sage]: They were the kind who, after being rained on, would want to hold an umbrella for others.

[Pervy Sage]: They struggled to survive in Amegakure, often starving, but still dreamed of creating a peaceful world without war.

[Pervy Sage]: Later, I heard they founded the Akatsuki—an organization that aimed to build peace through dialogue and understanding.

[Pervy Sage]: …But later on, I heard that those kids died.

[Pervy Sage]: So… does Akatsuki still exist? Are Nagato and the others really dead?

[Senju Tobirama]: …

[Senju Tobirama]: Damn that Danzo.

[Pervy Sage]: ?

[Minato Namikaze]: Jiraiya-sensei, Danzo is already dead.

[Pervy Sage]: I see…

[Pervy Sage]: But, Lord Second, what does this have to do with Danzo?

[Senju Tobirama]: …

[Senju Tobirama]: Kitahara Kaede told me that the leader of the Akatsuki was once betrayed by Danzo—so he harbors hatred toward Konoha.

[Senju Tobirama]: Damn that Danzo.

[Senju Tobirama]: I once thought he was the student most like me, but he ended up causing the most trouble.

[Pervy Sage]: Eh? Kitahara Kaede?

[Pervy Sage]: Oh, I saw him when I entered this place—the system shows three hours of daily livestreams from him, right?

[Minato Namikaze]: Yes, Jiraiya-sensei. Thanks to Kitahara-kun, my son Naruto was able to escape prejudice and find friends.

[Minato Namikaze]: I'm very grateful.

[Pervy Sage]: …

[Pervy Sage]: …

[Pervy Sage]: Minato… your son isn't dead?

[Minato Namikaze]: …

[Minato Namikaze]: …

[Minato Namikaze]: …

At that moment, Jiraiya and Minato locked eyes—both unable to speak, overwhelmed with emotion.

Minato was stunned. Jiraiya sensed something was wrong and felt a wave of guilt.

[Pervy Sage]: So that's how it is…

[Pervy Sage]: I just assumed your child died in the Nine Tails attack. There was no mention of your son.

[Pervy Sage]: The Third must've kept it hidden.

[Minato Namikaze]: Yeah… he did.

[Minato Namikaze]: My son is Uzumaki Naruto—named after the main character in your "Tale of the Gutsy Ninja."

[Pervy Sage]: …

[Pervy Sage]: So it was that name.

[Pervy Sage]: That was already fifteen years ago.

[Pervy Sage]: The older I get, the more I recall the past.

[Pervy Sage]: …Minato, I'm sorry.

[Kakashi Hatake]: I understand that feeling.

Kakashi chimed in.

He knew Jiraiya's apology was because he hadn't investigated thoroughly and left Minato's son without care or protection.

[Minato Namikaze]: …

[Minato Namikaze]: It's all in the past now. And this isn't about Naruto anymore. He has his own thoughts, and I support him.

[Minato Namikaze]: Even if he resents me, I'll accept it all.

[Minato Namikaze]: Because as a father, I never did anything for him.

[Minato Namikaze]: Right now, the situation is—Sunagakure has joined under Konoha's control…

[Pervy Sage]: Eh? Sunagakure joined Konoha!?

[Pervy Sage]: What? I was immersed in writing for a few years, and the ninja world changed this much!?

[Cowardly - Ōnoki]: It hasn't changed that much. All this just happened in the past two months.

[Pervy Sage]: …

[Pervy Sage]: Ōnoki's here too?

[Cowardly - Ōnoki]: Of course I'm here!

[Pervy Sage]: …Mm.

Jiraiya began listening to Minato and Kakashi explaining the recent developments to him.

Then—

[Pervy Sage]: The Rinnegan… Rinnegan…

[Pervy Sage]: Wait, are you sure Kitahara Kaede also has the Rinnegan? The same Rinnegan as Nagato!?

[Pervy Sage]: Are you certain?

[Pervy Sage]: Lord Second!

[Senju Tobirama]: Slow down!

[Pervy Sage]: Mm… sorry… I got a little too excited.

[Senju Tobirama]: …It seems your whole life really has been guided by that prophecy.

[Senju Tobirama]: In that case, I'll share something with you.

[Senju Tobirama]: Your student, Nagato, might still be alive.
