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

[Minato Namikaze]: Huh? You marked mine too?

[Fourth Raikage - A]: ??? What the hell are you people still doing in my Cloud Village!? Haven't you messed it up enough already!?

[Tobirama Senju]: …

[Tobirama Senju]: Kitahara-kun said that if we encounter another attack on the same level as Toneri—like Truth-Seeking Orbs or a Tailed Beast Bomb—landing in Konoha would be disastrous.

[Tobirama Senju]: And Flying Thunder God was tested before, wasn't it?

[Tobirama Senju]: It's not just us who can teleport—we can also take others with us.

[Tobirama Senju]: So naturally… we can redirect attacks too.

[Nine Tails - Kurama]: So you're saying Tailed Beast Bombs or Tailed Beast Cannons can be teleported away too?

[Tobirama Senju]: Exactly. Even when formed, Tailed Beast Bombs take a bit of time to explode. So in theory, they can be redirected.

[Minato Namikaze]: I see now.

[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Ohh, that's good! This makes the village much safer.

[Tobirama Senju]: Yes, it does.

[Fourth Raikage - A]: …

[Fourth Raikage - A]: …Safer for you! You've just shifted all the danger into my Cloud Village's territory!

[Fourth Raikage - A]: ?? How could you do this!?

[Tobirama Senju]: Yesterday you were still praying Toneri would destroy the ninja world, so how about you shut up now?

[Fourth Raikage - A]: …

After being called out like that, the Fourth Raikage actually fell silent.

Because… he suddenly realized—Toneri had made it all the way to Konoha and still couldn't do anything…

So what could he or his father possibly do?

Cloud Village… really was finished.

[Tobirama Achievement - Izuna]: Anyway, Tobirama Senju, enough of this nonsense.

[Tobirama Achievement - Izuna]: Tell us about my brother already.

[Tobirama Senju]: …

[Tobirama Achievement - Izuna]: Say it!

[Tobirama Senju]: …

[Tobirama Senju]: Last night, while we were placing Flying Thunder God markers, we saw Uchiha Madara fly to the moon. And then… he used his massive Susanoo to slice it apart.

[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: He… sliced the moon?

[Tobirama Senju]: Yes. That guy must have actually obtained Myōboku's Sage Spell Scrolls.

[Tobirama Senju]: So it's likely he's been fully revived.

[Tobirama Senju]: His power seems to have grown. He flew to the moon and… split it apart.

[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: The moon…?

[Tobirama Senju]: Mhm.

[Tobirama Senju]: Though it's strange—he didn't just split it once. He cut it into many pieces.

[Minato Namikaze]: Then if the moon is gone, wouldn't the ninja world's nights be…?

[Future Mizukage - Mei Terumi]: That's because we now have an even bigger moon.

[Minato Namikaze]: A bigger moon?

[Coward - Ōnoki]: So… it was Madara who caused the moon thing…

[Coward - Ōnoki]: Ahem… carry on.

[Future Mizukage - Mei Terumi]: Uchiha Madara was slicing the moon, but the fragments were absorbed by the Chibaku Tensei that Kitahara-kun created during Toneri's sealing.

[Tobirama Senju]: That's right.

[Tobirama Senju]: Madara shattered the moon, and Kitahara-kun's Chibaku Tensei, which had flown near the moon, absorbed all the surrounding debris.

[Minato Namikaze]: I see.

[Minato Namikaze]: So everything is still under control.

[Minato Namikaze]: But then, what exactly is Uchiha Madara trying to do?

[Tobirama Senju]: …We don't know.

What Uchiha Madara is up to—most people don't know.

But in Mount Myōboku—

"Ancestor…"

"What should we do next in Mount Myōboku's development?"

"Little Jiraiya has already formally bid us farewell," Fukasaku the Toad reported to the Great Toad Sage.

The temple roof had been blown off by Madara, and the wind kept blowing through the cracks. The toads had since moved the Great Toad Sage to their residential hall.

From his throne, the Great Toad Sage opened his eyes.

There was sweat on his brow.

"Things have gone completely off the rails!"

The Great Toad Sage muttered. "I had just intended to take a nap and see if I could have a prophetic dream…"

"But…"

"The dream I had just now scared the hell out of me."

"I saw an old friend—the Sage of Six Paths."

"He invited me… to experience Chibaku Tensei together!"

"His own descendants betrayed him, and he still wants to drag me into some 'Chibaku Tensei experience'?"

"I really misjudged that guy!" the Great Toad Sage exclaimed.

"Wait, so that was…?" Fukasaku blinked.

"That wasn't a prophetic dream. Most likely just a nightmare," said the Great Toad Sage.

Then he added, "Anyway, what did you report? Jiraiya's cutting ties with us?"

"Yes."

"He says fifty years have passed without finding the Child of Prophecy. He's giving up and wants to spend the rest of his passion teaching at Konoha," Fukasaku explained.

"..." The Great Toad Sage.

"..." The Great Toad Sage sighed. "Little Jiraiya still doesn't understand."

"The Child of Prophecy does exist."

"He once brought Minato to me…"

"I almost misjudged back then." (王王好)

"But Minato had a child, didn't he…"

"Then…" Shima the Toad suddenly realized. "That means the Child of Prophecy…"

"Yes."

"So Jiraiya returning to Konoha is actually in line with fate."

"That means…"

"The ninja world still has a future, doesn't it?"

"So long as Jiraiya returns and guides the way—"

"Ancestor!"

Just then, another toad came hopping in.

"Why are you all bouncing around today?" The Great Toad Sage grumbled. Ever since seeing Madara, his mood had soured. "Don't tell me Uchiha Madara is here again?"

"No way."

"He already took the Sage Spell Scroll!"

But the toad quickly spoke, "It's not Madara… your old friend has arrived."

"Old friend…"

"What old friend!?"

The Great Toad Sage was so angry he laughed.

But suddenly—the air grew still and dark.

A withered, elderly figure floated into the room.

This person had brown hair, wore a long white robe.

The robe had six black magatama symbols across the chest.

On the back—a red spiral crest.

And below that—nine arranged magatama symbols.

Everything about this man's appearance was completely unique.

Not just that.

His skin was pale with a blue tint.

And atop his head—a pair of horns.

Because this was none other than—

The Sage of Six Paths - Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.

An aged Hagoromo.

The Sage of Six Paths!?

All the toads around were too stunned to speak.

"No…"

Even the Great Toad Sage jumped.

"Hagoromo," the figure addressed him. "It's been a long time."

"And…"

"What's going on?"

"I sensed the Chibaku Tensei seal was undone."

"Hagoromo" was the name only one person could say so familiarly.

That person was his old friend.

The one who once bore the burden of humanity and rebelled against his own mother, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, for the sake of the world.

The filial son, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.

To just call him "Hagoromo" might sound unfamiliar.

But his other name was…

The Sage of Six Paths.

The founder of the ninja world. The one who distributed chakra to humanity. The creator of Ninjutsu.

The origin of all ninja.

He separated the Ten Tails' chakra into nine parts.

He created the Nine Tailed Beasts.

Every ninja knew his legacy.

But for the Great Toad Sage—
