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

Shima and Fukasaku??

Clack—

Just as the Great Toad Sage was frowning in confusion, the door was pushed open, and Shima and Fukasaku hopped in.

The Great Toad Sage immediately looked over.

"Fukasaku, your ancestor already told you to bring the wine…"

"Do you have any idea what kind of battle Mount Myōboku just went through?"

"If your ancestor hadn't stepped in, there wouldn't be this peaceful life right now…"

The Great Toad Sage was in a very good mood—one might say, feeling quite pleased with himself.

However—

"It is nice to drink a little wine," a voice replied to him.

???

The Great Toad Sage blinked in surprise.

That voice was unfamiliar. Then, Shima opened the door all the way—and the Great Toad Sage saw someone standing behind her.

Light fell on the figure and illuminated his face.

A strikingly handsome face.

"Kitahara Kaede!"

The Great Toad Sage was stunned.

Then, as if realizing something, he added, "You came for the ninja rabbit, didn't you…"

"Unfortunately, the ninja rabbit has already been sealed."

"So you should already know—your little white ninja rabbit is actually the Sage of Six Paths' mother, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya."

"I know you're capable, but the one who sealed your rabbit was the Sage of Six Paths himself, and he's already vanished."

"So if you're looking to blame someone, look for him."

"Mount Myōboku is innocent."

"And don't forget—Jiraiya was still your teacher Kakashi's teacher…" The Great Toad Sage assumed Kitahara Kaede came blaming him for losing the ninja rabbit.

But…

He was terrified of Kaguya knocking on the door. Now that it was just Kitahara Kaede, he figured he was just a junior.

"Ancestor…"

But as the Great Toad Sage was giving his explanation, Fukasaku let out a sigh.

"…" The Great Toad Sage.

??

The Great Toad Sage immediately turned to Fukasaku. His reaction earlier, when Hagoromo appeared, had already been odd.

And now…

"Ancestor…"

"I think… you're misunderstanding something," Fukasaku said quickly. Shima next to him also let out a long sigh.

"Look closely at Kitahara Kaede's current condition," Fukasaku urged.

"His… condition?"

The Great Toad Sage narrowed his eyes.

"Hm?"

"Oh…"

"Byakugan!"

"The Hyuga Clan?"

The Great Toad Sage immediately noticed something different from what he saw in his crystal ball surveillance technique—it was the color of the eyes.

Not golden anymore—but Byakugan.

Byakugan.

"Wait a second…"

In that moment, the wisdom of the ancient sage frog exploded, a spark of insight flashing in his mind.

He was very old—his brain had slowed down—but in this one moment, some kind of powerful survival instinct had awakened.

Was it… survival instinct?

Had it suddenly kicked in?

Heh.

Realizing this, the Great Toad Sage almost laughed out loud.

Just earlier, neither the appearance of the Sage of Six Paths nor Kaguya's unsealing triggered such a flash of intuition.

Could it be that the current situation was… that dangerous?

Dangerous enough to threaten his very life?

"Byakugan… the Hyuga Clan…" the Great Toad Sage murmured.

"If not Hyuga… then could it be… the Ōtsutsuki clan…"

"Haha…"

He chuckled—

And then immediately cursed.

"Shit…"

"That means… this is Kaguya's Byakugan…"

"Kaguya was sealed… but her eye techniques were passed to Kitahara Kaede?" the Great Toad Sage muttered.

Smack!

Seeing the old frog still hadn't figured it out, Fukasaku slapped his own face with his webbed hand.

"To be exact, I borrowed Kaguya's power," Kitahara Kaede said. "And now… I might've surpassed her."

"But to think you couldn't even figure out something so simple…"

"I'm a little disappointed, honestly."

"Never thought the Toad Maru who tricked the Sage of Six Paths into sealing his own mother would become this stupid."

"You didn't realize any of it."

"So tell me—why were you so sure Hagoromo was the one who won?"

As he spoke, purple ripples began to appear in Kitahara Kaede's eyes.

Rinnegan.

The ground—Mount Myōboku's earth—began to crack and collapse.

"You're kidding!"

The Great Toad Sage realized his body was being sucked up by compressed black chakra orbs.

He instinctively tried to resist.

As a thousand-year-old summoned beast, he should've had some form of reaction or counter.

But the Great Toad Sage… had none.

His body was sucked straight in.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Chunks of earth buried his body.

"You're kidding!"

"You're kidding!"

"You're kidding!"

"Don't tell me…"

"Don't tell me…"

"Hagoromo failed!?"

Though he was shouting, he already knew the truth.

Hagoromo failed—or more precisely… it wasn't Kaguya who had been sealed, but Hagoromo.

And with sharp eyes, he noticed it was only him being sealed—while Shima and Fukasaku remained untouched.

"You two…"

"Are you betraying me too?" the Great Toad Sage asked in sorrow.

Shima was about to speak, emotions rising—but Fukasaku held her back with his webbed hand.

Fukasaku shook his head.

"Ancestor… you've lived a thousand years, but…"

"The toads of Mount Myōboku are still young."

"So…"

"I'm sorry."

Fukasaku said solemnly, gripping Shima tightly. She wanted to speak, but in the end… kept silent.

"..." The Great Toad Sage.

"..." The Great Toad Sage.

The Great Toad Sage understood—Hagoromo was finished.

The Sage of Six Paths was done for.

But—

"Why…"

"Why do I have to be sealed too…?" the Great Toad Sage cried.

Kitahara Kaede replied expressionlessly:

"Because even though Hagoromo was the founder of the ninja world, it's too tragic for him to be sealed alone."

"So…"

"I'm sending you to keep him company."

"Weren't you his friend?"

"Then isn't it only natural to accompany your friend?"

"Or… were you never really his friend at all?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

"…" The Great Toad Sage was stunned.

Because denying it… would be bad.

But not denying it… would be even worse.

This one question utterly froze him.

And in that opening, black earth completely buried his head—and the colossal Chibaku Tensei rose into the sky.

"..." Shima.

"..." Fukasaku.

"..." Fukasaku.

The two toads stood in stunned silence, watching their ancestor get sealed and rise into the sky.
