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

"Can't fly? Then how do you get to the moon?"

"..." Obito.

Obito looked at Black Zetsu, and from the way Black Zetsu spoke, it was clear—it really wanted to go to the moon.

And its eagerness to go hadn't lessened at all. So, Obito thought, he really would need to go steal a launch device again later.

"..." Black Zetsu.

But at this point, Black Zetsu no longer wanted to waste time on Obito.

Because… if Obito couldn't be relied on, then it had no choice but to call on its most trusted lackey.

And that lackey had a name that made Obito's head hurt.

Uchiha Madara.

The person it had tricked most thoroughly.

The weather in the shinobi world followed a pattern—after a full moon, it was often rainy and gloomy, which dampened the mood.

But the full moon here lasted two nights, so the next night would still be a full moon.

Meaning, last night's test could be retried.

However—

Black Zetsu, currently disguised as [Zetsu] of the Akatsuki, was stationed in Amegakure.

But…

It couldn't sit still anymore.

Obito had already rushed back to Kumogakure overnight to steal another launch device. But to Black Zetsu, making a mistake once already meant Obito was either careless or just plain incompetent.

So...

Its trust in Obito didn't just decrease—it flatlined.

In times like these, only its old, reliable tool would do—Uchiha Madara.

But Madara was already dead.

So, what now?

Simple.

Madara himself had considered the possibility of dying of old age, so he placed his Rinnegan in Nagato's care, waiting for him to grow strong enough to use Rinne Tensei and fully resurrect him.

But Nagato never truly matured to that point… and when he did, Obito wasn't too keen on letting him use the jutsu to revive Madara.

And Black Zetsu wasn't strong enough to make it happen on its own, so it could only wait for Obito to act.

But damn that Obito—he just wouldn't move!

Now, though, there was a much more flexible method available.

Black Zetsu even felt annoyed with itself that it had missed the Forbidden Jutsu—Tobirama's Sealed Jutsu Scroll.

If it had started from there earlier, maybe the plan could've accelerated.

Because after joining the group chat and seeing Tobirama using Edo Tensei, Black Zetsu realized—

There were still "revival tokens" for Uchiha Madara to be cashed in.

Of course, to Black Zetsu, undoing Kaguya's seal required Madara's participation.

At first, Black Zetsu thought it could do it on its own.

If it could directly revive the Sage of Six Paths with Edo Tensei, it could get his Rinnegan and complete the plan.

Unfortunately, reviving the Sage of Six Paths via Edo Tensei was impossible—he had been cremated.

Edo Tensei required two things: a living sacrifice, and a piece of the deceased's body.

So the Sage was out of the question.

Previously, Black Zetsu had aimed to seize the Rinnegan of the Sage and undo Kaguya's seal, but due to its own low power level and the Sage's immense strength, it had no choice but to start manipulating the Sage's eldest son—Indra.

But Indra lost to Ashura… and also couldn't beat the Sage.

Indra, of course, was the ancestor of the Uchiha clan.

Thus, one layer of manipulation led to another, until eventually, it was manipulating Uchiha Madara.

You could say that the Uchiha line had been Black Zetsu's target of manipulation from ancient times until now.

But Madara was unique among them.

Or rather, Madara was strong—stronger than any Uchiha before him.

But…

He was arrogant.

Well, that was exactly what Black Zetsu liked.

Because arrogance made people easier to manipulate.

And the Uchiha were, after all, a clan of great love—yearning for peace in the shinobi world.

Madara was no exception.

Madara was outstanding—he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, then took his brother Izuna's eyes to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyō.

Black Zetsu saw his potential and bet everything on Madara unlocking the Rinnegan.

So it deliberately altered the stone tablet left behind by the Sage of Six Paths to the Uchiha clan.

Making it say:

"Gather the Tailed Beasts, awaken the Rinnegan, summon the Ten Tails, restore its power, become the Ten Tails Jinchūriki, and during the full moon, open the Rinne Sharingan to cast Infinite Tsukuyomi.Absorb all the world's chaotic chakra and bring peace to the shinobi world."

This long section? All written by Black Zetsu.

It was written to make Madara believe he was the prophesied savior.

And due to the Uchiha's naturally arrogant tendencies, Madara took the bait easily.

Of course—

The original stone tablet was a heartfelt letter from the Sage to Ashura.

But somehow, it had ended up in the hands of Indra's descendants and became the Uchiha's family doctrine.

Quite the cruel irony.

But ignoring all of that, Madara's abilities were still undeniable.

In over a thousand years, only he awakened the Rinnegan.

This made Black Zetsu ecstatic.

Except that unlocking the Rinnegan nearly killed him.

If not for absorbing chakra from the Ten Tails, he would've died right there—and Obito would've never been manipulated.

So, when Black Zetsu saw Kitahara Kaede's Rinnegan for the first time, it was shocked.

Because—was the Rinnegan as common as cabbage now?

It had schemed for over a thousand years just to find Madara, the perfect candidate.

But now wasn't the time to be thinking about that—it had a job to do.

Wake up, Uchiha Madara. You've rested for over ten years. It's time to get back to work.

While Black Zetsu hadn't yet revived Madara, over in Sunagakure, Kitahara Kaede was already awakening the village's shinobi.

The ninjas and civilians of Sunagakure had all gathered.

Everyone stood in the vast sandy training ground of the village.

In a corner sat a chubby raccoon dog, with short legs and big arms—

That was Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast.

In the past, it had always been Sunagakure's tailed beast.

It had been sealed in Bunpuku and later in Gaara.

Today's assembly also included Gaara.

He stared silently at Shukaku.

Shukaku stared silently back.

Neither said a word.

Not everyone dared to approach Shukaku like Gaara did. Many still feared him.

Two days ago, when Shukaku suddenly appeared in the village, it scared the villagers into a panic.

So now, most villagers were still quite timid.

"Hmph—"

But Shukaku didn't bother holding grudges.

Or rather, it had long accepted that tailed beasts and humans could never coexist peacefully.

It had been that way since ancient times.

So… that liar, the Sage of Six Paths.

Your mother appeared again, and you just vanished? Leaving us to be treated like food by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya…

How terrifying that was.

As Shukaku muttered and reflected, it felt the rhythmic thump of a heartbeat in its chest.

This was the sensation of being alive—freely roaming the sands.

This was the freedom it had always longed for.

"I'M FREE, DAMMIT!"

And it was actually pretty satisfied with its current life.

[Descendant Chat Group (^_-)]

[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Ha! So it's finally happening today?

[Tobirama]: Yeah. Looks like the first Edo Tensei trial has begun.

[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: So, it's finally time for Edo Tensei to start, huh?

[Tobirama]: Oh? You seem quite interested, Uchiha Izuna.

[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: …What? Is that a problem?

[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: Tobirama, you bastard—are you trying to make Kitahara Kaede Edo Tensei my entire Uchiha clan?

[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: You damn Senju really are evil.

[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: Trying to enslave the Uchiha!

[Tobirama]: But weren't they the ones who betrayed your brother? In a way, this is helping you get revenge, isn't it?

[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: …

[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Alright, alright. Tobirama, if possible, try to Edo Tensei Izuna too.

[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: …Now that's more like it.
