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

However.

Black Zetsu, Obito, and Pain were already prepared.

Or rather, they had always been waiting for the night to fall.

Nightfall meant the appearance of the moon—and luck was on their side today: it was a full moon.

"...It's about time…"Black Zetsu said.

"Wait a little longer…"Obito replied."Let the moon get a bit brighter."

"Yes, I'd also suggest waiting a little more," Pain said. "We still can't accurately confirm the moon's coordinates."

"And we also can't precisely calculate the distance between the moon and here."Pain added.

"..."Black Zetsu.

???

Black Zetsu felt that night had basically fallen already, so it should be a good time to start testing.

But what was with these two?

Not only were they extremely cautious, but they were also very steady and methodical.

What were they planning?

Still, Black Zetsu was technically Obito's superior, and Pain was Obito's underling. Although the three of them were part of the same chain, they generally didn't communicate directly.

So.

Black Zetsu ended up silently waiting with them for another two hours.

Finally.

The sky was completely dark.

Night had fallen, and the brightest object in the sky was the full moon, radiating a pure and gentle glow.

From the surface of the ninja world, the distant moon was clearly visible.

"It can begin now," said Black Zetsu.

Obito and Pain raised their heads at the same time.

The two of them gazed at the brightest moonlight in the night sky.

Obito directly took out a sealing scroll.

He sealed two launch devices separately—

On Pain's side… he brought out the Six Paths of Pain.

Including Deva Path - Pain.

The reason was simple.

This afternoon, he and Konan had discussed and agreed that if they could directly send Tobi away, that would be the best outcome.

If not, they would see if there was a chance to attack Tobi. If they could eliminate him, even better.

So.

The Six Paths of Pain had to be fully prepared.

·····

Elsewhere.

Hidden Cloud Village.

Moonlight gleamed brightly.

"What the hell…"

"We were discussing how Konoha is swallowing up Sunagakure. And now both Kirigakure and Iwagakure have agreed. They're doing a three-on-one takeover and not including us?!"

"This is outrageous!"

"And you're telling me you couldn't even guard our village's classified storage? The launch devices got stolen?!"

The Raikage was furious.

Seated before him was his student, Darui.

Also, his chosen successor for the next Raikage.

And yet this was the result—his well-trained disciple couldn't even guard a warehouse.

The Fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud had a fiery temper—or rather, he often skipped using doors entirely and went in and out through windows.

Hidden Cloud was also the village with the fewest rogue ninjas.

The reason was simple.

Anyone who defected was personally hammered to death by the Raikage.

Both the Third and Fourth Raikage followed this policy.

The Fourth Raikage was the Third's son. The Third once fought ten thousand Iwagakure ninjas, and though he eventually died from exhaustion, he outlasted all ten thousand enemies.

Extremely formidable.

The Fourth wasn't weak either.

He frequently fought with Killer Bee—Jinchūriki of the Eight Tails, who had a good relationship with his tailed beast and could fully transform.

And even though Killer Bee's strength had increased drastically, he still wasn't a match for the Fourth Raikage.

"…Actually, I had already secured the real launch device,"

"And the ones that were stolen… were all broken."

"All three of them were defective."

"I don't get why the thief didn't just take all three. That thing takes up space, after all."Darui apologized, prostrating on the ground.

"..."Raikage.

"Oh, then it's fine."The Raikage said, then leapt straight out the window.

"..."(Wang Le Zhao) His secretary was speechless.

Because the village's biggest expense was fixing the windows the Raikage kept jumping through.

······

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

Temari wiped the thin sweat off her forehead.

Today, she had finished organizing the list of deceased ninja that the villagers had voted to resurrect with Edo Tensei.

By all rights, all that was left was to perform the jutsu.

However, the Akatsuki members hadn't arrived in Sunagakure yet, so Kitahara Kaede's team had once again been delayed.

And after confirming again that the reason Sunagakure had attacked Konoha during the Chūnin Exams was due to a lack of resources, he had arranged for Sasuke and Naruto to go out and gather intelligence.

Neither Sasuke nor Naruto had any particular complaints—if anything, they felt this mission had helped them grow a lot.

Because if they had fought alone, they wouldn't have been able to beat Sasori.But working together, they achieved an incredible synergy.

With continuous effort and persistence—saying and doing what they promised—

Enduring pain and pushing forward.

With that kind of resolve, they truly could grow stronger.

"Mm."Kitahara Kaede walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the glass, moonlight poured down in a silver cascade.

Looking up, he saw the full moon.

Back in Konoha, in Kitahara Kaede's apartment, by the window, a snow-white ninja rabbit sat silently, also gazing up at the same night sky.

It could feel the cold clarity of the moonlight, but even it didn't know what it truly was.

Was it Ōtsutsuki Kaguya?

Or… had the seal already been undone, and it simply didn't know?

The ninja rabbit.

"..."

So, it had been here for three days now. Kaede needed to hurry up and return.

If he awakened even half of his power, then he might gain the ability to [fly], and could help it scout things out.

Or perhaps… if it drained all of his chakra, then it could fly on its own.

········

Under the same moonlight...

"%￥…, Refund request!" ×3

Looking at the duds—defective launch devices stolen from Hidden Cloud—Black Zetsu, Pain, and Obito all had unpleasant expressions.

Black Zetsu felt that Obito, this lackey of Uchiha Madara, was terribly unreliable.

Madara never handled things this sloppily.

Look at this—what kind of mess was this? If it couldn't be done, why give people hope?

"..."Obito was thinking that Hidden Cloud had three total devices. If he had known, he would've just stolen all of them. At least one might've worked, and then he could've launched Black Zetsu straight to the moon.

But no, he got cocky and only took two.

And both turned out to be duds.

He had told Pain that these were the Sage of Six Paths' ninja tools, so naturally, they couldn't just whip out another one.

So now he was thinking about how to send Pain away, and then sneak back into the Hidden Cloud for another attempt.

"..."Pain simply felt… disappointed.

He had thought this was some kind of divine tool from the Sage of Six Paths, and that he could take advantage of Tobi's interest in such relics to send him off to the moon.

That way, he and Konan could finally relax.

But.

This ninja tool was complete junk.

Pointless.

He, Pain… had wasted his time today. And now Konan would have to continue stockpiling explosive tags.

"..."Black Zetsu.

"..."Black Zetsu again.

Black Zetsu once more concluded that Obito was completely unreliable.

So, was there really no other way?

"…Come to think of it, Leader Pain, you can use repulsive force to float in midair, right?"Black Zetsu asked.

"Mm…"

"I can do that. But it's not flying," Pain replied.

"It's just hovering in place."

"..."Black Zetsu.

How dull.
