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

So that means they need to prepare paper-based documents.

For a Hidden Village, every mission required a paper record. These would include a written report from the leading jonin describing the mission, a summary and assessment of how each team member performed, and evaluations from the team leader about their teammates' contributions.

In the ninja system, completing a mission not only gave immediate monetary rewards but also added contribution points toward the village.

When both strength and contribution points reached a certain threshold, a ninja could be promoted—say, from chunin to jonin. These were the two key requirements.

It sounded troublesome, but this system ensured the enthusiasm and diligence of ninjas when carrying out missions. In the long run, it was quite beneficial.

And this system was developed by the Second Hokage himself—so naturally, he was the one now buried under mountains of paperwork.

He worried the Third Hokage might be sloppy in his work and also wanted a clear and fast understanding of each ninja's capabilities. So, he had to go through piles upon piles of mission reports.

While thinking about all this, Kitahara Kaede had already arrived home.

Thud.

He didn't bother to unlock the door or do anything else. Instead, he raised his left hand.

With his index and middle fingers pressed together, he formed a seal—and his body vanished from the apartment entrance, reappearing inside the room.

He quickly located a pure snow-white ninja rabbit sitting on the windowsill. It tilted its head slightly as it stared into the sky.

It washed its face with its paw.

Just then, it sensed someone's presence.

The little white ninja rabbit probably didn't expect Kitahara Kaede to return at this time and froze.

But Kaede already scooped it up into his arms.

He rubbed its body against his cheek.

The ninja rabbit's red paws seemed to want to push him away, but quickly realized it couldn't.

So, it gave up struggling.

"You used to be so cold—like a block of wood."

"But now you don't even resist anymore."

"Hmm… I wonder what you'll become in the future," Kaede mused.

"…" The ninja rabbit remained silent.

What would it become? Likely, it would eventually return to being Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

"But…"

"Even though we've been apart for long stretches before, this time felt different."

Kaede gently stroked its tiny paw.

"It's only been three days, but it feels like it's been forever."

"I really want to be with you more." Kaede said.

"…" The ninja rabbit.

The rabbit seemed surprised.

So, it wasn't just it feeling that way.

It tried to move slightly, but Kaede had already set it down and headed into the bathroom.

The conditions in Sunagakure were harsh, so hot showers weren't a daily luxury.

But there was one solution: station the Second Hokage there. He alone could supply enough water for the entire village.

After showering, Kaede changed into clean clothes and came out.

From the balcony, he could hear the hum of the washing machine working.

Kaede took out a pen and the mission report form.

"If you're not bored, why not help me fill out this mission report?" he said.

He thought the ninja rabbit would refuse, but as soon as he said that, it hopped onto the table.

So Kaede used his left hand to gently hold the rabbit's paw and began writing the mission content.

The ninja rabbit watched his handwriting.

It wasn't bad—in fact, it was ridiculously beautiful.

But…

Scratch—

As Kaede continued writing with his fountain pen, the rabbit hugged the pen with its paws.

It stepped on the kanji for "Crane" in "Shukaku" that Kaede had just written—it was a typo.

So Kaede crossed it out and rewrote it.

Once the correction was confirmed, the rabbit returned to his left hand.

"Oh…" Kaede stared at its fine, silky fur.

It really did feel strange.

As if just from this brief trip away, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had become much more tolerant.

Even for this kind of boring and dry work, she was willing to accompany him.

Had she really become someone who couldn't bear to be left alone anymore?

·······

Kaede had returned to the village at 10 AM, and by the time he finished writing the report, it was already noon.

He shared lunch with the ninja rabbit.

There was one thing he was quite happy about—the rabbit had learned to open the fridge on its own. Seeing the food he'd prepared was already eaten made him feel good.

But just as he was about to praise her, he remembered—this was Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

You're raising the progenitor of the entire ninja world like a pet, and you're rewarding her like she's a well-behaved pet. Isn't that a bit much?

Still, when he patted her head, she didn't resist or shield herself with her paws.

"…"

"…" Kitahara Kaede.

Something was off about this ninja rabbit.

Just from being apart for a few days, it had become super clingy.

After feeding it some chakra, Kaede got ready to submit the mission report and restock supplies.

"If staying at home feels boring, you can come out for a stroll with me," Kaede offered.

"…" The ninja rabbit.

It tilted its head, seemingly considering.

Then, its small body vanished—and reappeared inside the pocket of Kaede's shirt.

"Hey—"

Kaede poked at the little paw resting near the edge of the pocket.

Then he pushed the door open.

But just as he stepped outside—bang!

A figure suddenly dashed in.

It was Hyuga Hinata, now wearing the green flak vest of a chunin.

But this was Black Hinata.

She had a fishnet outfit under her vest.

"Ha…"

"Knew you'd be here…" She looked very cheerful, or maybe she'd learned somewhere that he was back and rushed over.

Otherwise, such vigorous movement wouldn't have her chest rising and falling like that.

"You returned to the village and didn't even tell me…"

She seemed a little hurt.

She reached out to pat Kaede's chest—then stopped.

Her gaze locked with the ninja rabbit's.

"Uh…"

Hinata immediately stepped back.

"Why are you bringing that thing—?"

She was clearly afraid of the ninja rabbit.

She instinctively hugged her arms around herself, nervous.

But the ninja rabbit just stared at her blankly, its eyes full of indifference.

Hinata had no choice but to avert her gaze and stay about 60 centimeters away from Kaede.

"Well…"

Kaede said, "Just got back. It had been locked up for a few days too, so we're just going out for a bit."

"And also—" Kaede looked at her, "It's not great if you keep being scared of it."

"…" Hinata.

"…" Hinata.

That's true.

She only got to come out one week per month. If she stayed afraid of his little white rabbit, wouldn't that reduce the time they could spend together even more?

And right now, Kaede was already spending more time with the ninja rabbit than with her.

What kind of logic was that?

She couldn't even compete with a little white rabbit?

"o(￣︶￣)o Hmph, still…"

Hinata reached out her hand toward the ninja rabbit. "I won't be scared of you!"

But the rabbit shifted its paw slightly, staring at her mercilessly.

"Wah…"

"It just looked down on me…"

Hinata was devastated.

"Well…"

"Take your time."

Kaede figured the rabbit's disdain probably had something to do with Hinata's Byakugan.

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya belonged to the Ōtsutsuki clan, born with the Byakugan.

Their Byakugan was on an entirely different level, so naturally she'd see the Hyuga's version as inferior.

And honestly, the Hyuga clan's Byakugan… well, it was hard to praise.

But if the Tenseigan were to appear—maybe the ninja rabbit would change her view of the Hyuga.

"…" The ninja rabbit.
