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

"Then splitting the moon directly is no big deal!"

"Oh, that moon is the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei that sealed Kaguya!"

"…"

"You unfilial child!" The Sage of Six Paths slammed the table and stood up instantly. "As I thought, it was too naive of me to believe in Ashura and let him handle Indra."

"Indra's stubborn and rebellious nature has actually been passed down through generations!"

"But…"

The Sage of Six Paths continued, "When I chose the successor of Ninshū, Ashura and Indra fought."

"And at that time, Indra swore that he would continue to resist for generations."

"While Ashura vowed to oppose him for generations as well."

"Ashura believed that one day, he could persuade his older brother."

"So, I placed my faith in Ashura's strength and determination."

"I allowed them to act as they wished."

"Then… now that Uchiha Madara has inherited Indra's power—who's the one that inherited Ashura's power?" said the Sage of Six Paths.

The Great Toad Sage quickly recalled all the data that Jiraiya had gathered over the years and made a judgment.

"It should be Uchiha Madara's old rival, Senju Hashirama."

"But Hashirama has long been dead."

"And while Uchiha Madara was also said to be dead, he was resurrected using the current world's Edo Tensei technique."

"Then he used one of Mount Myōboku's treasured artifacts to return to life," the Great Toad Sage explained.

"…" The Sage of Six Paths was silent.

To the Sage, what was this 'Edo Tensei' technique? He had never even heard of it.

But he could still roughly piece together the situation.

Indra and Ashura hadn't lied—though both were long gone, their chakra continued to be passed down generation after generation.

Their struggle continued.

But… a bug had appeared in the system.

The previous reincarnation of Indra's chakra—Uchiha Madara—had suddenly hacked reality.

And rebelled in the most outrageous way.

He directly sliced the moon in half, destroying the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei!

And released Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

"…" The Sage of Six Paths was dumbfounded. "So this time… this is the bloodline of Indra, the unfilial son..."

"For Madara to do something like this, how am I supposed to persuade him?"

"I must unite the powers of Indra and Ashura. Only then can I reseal my mother!"

"But Uchiha Madara has already split the moon..."

The Sage felt an overwhelming headache.

"No…"

Suddenly, he changed his tone.

"What is it?" asked the Great Toad Sage, feeling that the data he provided shouldn't be wrong.

"Gamakichi, you said that both Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara are dead?"

"Yes," the Great Toad Sage replied. "And the current Madara has been resurrected..."

"…" The Sage of Six Paths fell silent again.

"Then that means… this era still holds new inheritors of Indra and Ashura's chakra," he said.

"Eh?"

The Great Toad Sage froze for a moment.

"Help me find those two."

"As for Uchiha Madara… he already split the moon. It's basically impossible to reason with him."

"But..."

The Sage continued, "There's still a chance with the next generation."

"Oh!"

The Great Toad Sage understood.

"You mean…?"

The Sage stroked his long beard.

"I am, as you described, merely a contingency."

"Relying on me alone to reseal my mother is no longer possible."

"So…"

"I need the strength of a new generation. If it's the next generation, perhaps they will understand my intentions more readily," said the Sage.

In other words, even with a living, breathing Indra reincarnate like Madara right in front of him, the Sage had given up trying to reason with him.

Instead, he turned his focus to the new reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, who had been born after the original ones died.

"Then there's no time to waste—go find them!"

"Gamakichi!" the Sage ordered.

"Right," the Great Toad Sage sighed in relief.

This meant the Sage still believed that Kaguya would bring disaster to the shinobi world, and that she must be resealed.

So yes... Ōtsutsuki Kaguya must be sealed again as soon as possible.

"If that's the case..."

"I actually happen to have two leads."

"I've detected that there are currently two people in the shinobi world who possess the Rinnegan."

"One is Nagato, the other is Kitahara Kaede," said the Great Toad Sage.

"Good." The Sage of Six Paths nodded. "Gamakichi, your insight is truly sharp."

"...? Eh?" Fukasaku froze.

Wasn't that information reported by Jiraiya? How did it suddenly become something the old Sage had "detected"?

But before he could say more, Shima smacked him, and he quickly shut up.

So Fukasaku and Shima took the crystal ball from the Great Toad Sage.

This was for the Sage to use the Telescope Technique.

The Telescope Technique could track someone based on their chakra properties through a crystal ball, displaying their current situation.

As a spiritual remnant, the Sage of Six Paths—as he had said—was now just a contingency: a weak existence formed by the chakra he had left behind.

He could no longer perform the sealing with his brother as he had in the past.

That's why he needed others.

And not just anyone—it had to be those with immense chakra. In other words, his descendants, the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura.

These two sons battled each other, and their chakra was destined to be reincarnated endlessly, opposing one another.

The Sage had known this, and that's why he left this backup plan—so that even if something went wrong in the future, he could seek out his sons' chakra and make them work together again to solve the crisis.

And now the problem was… how to find the two successors.

Gamakichi was a big help here.

And the Sage himself… he was essentially the Rinnegan embodied.

So it stood to reason that his chakra's descendants would likely also have the Rinnegan.

At least, that was their assumption.

If Black Zetsu were here, he'd probably click his tongue and say:

"Tch, look at how diluted the chakra in this shinobi world has become..."

Rinnegan?

Sage, keep dreaming!

But back to the present.

"This is Nagato..."

The crystal ball emitted light from the Great Toad Sage's hands.

It locked onto Nagato's chakra.

Then—

In the crystal's view, everyone saw a dark space, where a thin, red-haired man was soaking his legs in a tank of nutrient fluid.

"This is…"

"My descendant…" the Sage of Six Paths muttered.

"This is Nagato," said the Great Toad Sage.

"Can you sense whether he inherited Indra or Ashura's chakra?"

"…" The Sage fell silent.

"Let me sense it," he said.

He closed his eyes.

And all the toads around him instantly noticed—the moment he shut his eyes, all the surrounding light disappeared.

Even as just a remnant soul, the Sage of Six Paths was still this terrifying!

"I've sensed it."

"This Nagato carries Indra's chakra…" the Sage declared.

"…Then that's one confirmed."

The Great Toad Sage finally relaxed.

Since things were progressing smoothly, then even if Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had been unsealed… they could reseal her quickly.

That meant Mount Myōboku could avoid disaster.

The Great Toad Sage breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, record Nagato's location," said the Sage.

"Once we identify the inheritor of Ashura's chakra, I will bestow upon them the power of the Six Paths."

"And teach them the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei sealing technique," the Sage added.

So the Great Toad Sage clasped his front limbs together, and the crystal ball's glow vanished, returning to its regular form.

But that wasn't the end—now they were preparing to find the next child of destiny.
