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

Kitahara Kaede's Ninja Rabbit is Kaguya-sama's true form.

Maybe she broke free from the seal with her own power, but paid a heavy price. So even though the seal was undone, she lost her power and turned into the form of a ninja rabbit.

Another possibility is that, just like how Black Zetsu was created, she used part of Yin-Yang Release while sealed and separated her consciousness.

The reason is simple—Black Zetsu had been working on Kaguya-sama's unsealing plan for a thousand years, yet it never worked...

So, the sealed Kaguya-sama no longer had hope in him, and decided to save herself again... creating a fourth child. But this time, when creating the ninja rabbit, she infused her consciousness into it.

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu suddenly felt a headache.

Because—does this mean he's been rejected?

Even though he had worked so hard for all these years.

But... because he failed to accomplish the goal, Kaguya-sama no longer had hope in him?

Kaguya-sama... doesn't believe in him anymore...

Just that thought alone made Black Zetsu feel like he was going insane.

Because that would mean his entire existence was meaningless.

He could afford to be indifferent, aloof, and treat the Shinobi world's history as his playground for a thousand years. Everyone was his pawn.

But if Kaguya-sama abandoned him... then he's nothing. Even worse than Uchiha Madara, whom he fooled so miserably!

So...

Black Zetsu could not accept the second possibility.

But Black Zetsu was a filial child.

Even if he was only willing to believe that Kitahara Kaede's ninja rabbit is Kaguya-sama's true body, he still had to consider—what if that wasn't the case? Then he really couldn't hand over the Tailed Beasts right now.

If the Tailed Beasts were eaten by the rabbit now, and it turned out Kaguya-sama's real body was still on the moon...

How would they unseal her?

So Black Zetsu smacked himself in the forehead. He realized that after all his thousand-year plans, he almost ruined everything due to a lapse in judgment.

Thus—

After speaking with Kitahara Kaede, Black Zetsu immediately disappeared underground and left in a hurry.

The top priority now was to confirm whether any trace of Mother Kaguya still remained on the moon.

The matter of the Tailed Beasts—would have to wait.

··········

Watching Black Zetsu dive underground and flee rapidly, Kitahara Kaede touched his chin in thought.

Then he stepped onto Shukaku's hand and climbed onto its shoulder. Though Shukaku was fat, it was still a Tailed Beast—massive in size.

Shukaku held its breath, or rather, it was dumbfounded.

Because the conversation between Kitahara Kaede and Black Zetsu had revealed way too much, and all of it was alarming.

"So you're the mastermind behind capturing the Tailed Beasts!" it blurted out.

But then realized that was dangerous to say.

So it quickly corrected itself,

"...Ugh... I-I mean, I didn't hear or see anything."

As Kitahara Kaede stood on its shoulder, Shukaku's survival instincts kicked in immediately.

It now knew that the little white ninja rabbit of Kitahara Kaede was none other than the mother of the Sage of Six Paths—Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

And it also knew that Kaguya had been sealed by the Sage.

But...

When it first realized the ninja rabbit was Kaguya, it hadn't fully processed it.

But after that eavesdropping session—now it understood.

Kaguya needed chakra, wanted to collect chakra—and who had the most chakra directly available? The Tailed Beasts!

Suddenly, the Tailed Beasts became extremely endangered!

And what had it done?

Kaguya wants chakra, and it is chakra—meaning Kaguya is its natural predator!

But it had chosen to join Konoha… so…

Isn't this just like… the dark version of Pleasant Goat, joining Hotpot City right at the start?

Walking straight into the pot... this is insane!

Hey hey hey...

Didn't the Sage of Six Paths say that if the Tailed Beasts waited patiently, one day someone would gather them all and create a world where beasts and ninja coexist peacefully?

But now—what's come instead is the terrifying devourer Kaguya!

"What are you panicking for?" Kitahara Kaede noticed Shukaku's mood. "Even if my ninja rabbit does need chakra..."

"She won't take yours."

"You're not even worth one-tenth of the Nine Tails," Kaede said. "You'd be useless."

"..." Shukaku.

"..." Shukaku again.

Was it really that inferior to one-tenth of the Nine Tails?

"Ugh..."

For Shukaku, who had always disliked the stinky fox, this was infuriating—how could it be so insulted?

But given the situation...

"Yeah, that dumb fox does have way more chakra than me."

"You know, we Tailed Beasts are actually chakra constructs."

"After we gained self-awareness, we were all housed in the body of the Sage of Six Paths. When he was about to die, he split up that chakra."

"But I think the Sage was bad at math."

"He gave a piece to me, then gave a piece to the Nine Tails. Gave a piece to the Two Tails, then another to the Nine Tails. Gave a piece to the Three Tails, and again to the Nine Tails…"

"So somehow, the Nine Tails ended up with the most chakra."

As a fellow Tailed Beast, Shukaku instantly sold out the Nine Tails.

Because...

Right now it was in danger. Without a jinchūriki, it was like being disarmed.

It could be captured and eaten on the spot.

And this wasn't some fearful speculation—it was historical fact.

That dumb fox had said so: during the First Shinobi World War, it had been partially devoured by the Gold and Silver Brothers who swallowed some of its chakra.

So despite how fierce Tailed Beasts may seem—they were, undeniably, food.

Shukaku realized for the first time—being sealed was actually protection.

"I don't even lack chakra," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Even if I did need it, I'd use the Nine Tails first." Kaede added. "More efficient, more chakra."

"You really don't need to worry."

"Just join Konoha in peace."

"Ugh…"

Shukaku hesitated. "Unless you give me a written guarantee…"

"Hm?" Kaede looked over.

"No—I get it." Shukaku instantly retracted its long arms and chickened out.

Still, it really did want that written guarantee.

Because for a Tailed Beast, going to Konoha was just too risky.

Terrifying.

It seriously suspected that Kaede was raising Tailed Beasts to feed to his little white ninja rabbit (the Sage's mom).

"Then… can I not go back to Konoha?" Shukaku asked quickly.

Before, it had been sealed inside Gaara, who was assigned to return to the Sand Village, so naturally, it had to follow.

But now it was completely free of Gaara. It had freedom, and the chance to be placed in Konoha—or worse, face off again with that terrifying rabbit.

That would be like living every day as a piece of meat with the predator walking past.

Shukaku felt it was too much.

"Sure."

Kitahara Kaede said.

"The Sand Village has little power, so I was planning to station you here anyway."

"R-Really—" hearing that, Shukaku breathed a sigh of relief.

First, the sandy environment of the Land of Wind suited it well.

Second, as long as it didn't have to go to Konoha and face the ninja rabbit, it was safe.

"But before that, you still need to do something," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Hm?"

Shukaku blinked, while Kaede looked toward the coastline—where Sasuke and Naruto were fighting Scorpion together.

Their combat experience wasn't great, but Naruto was super resilient, and his Shadow Clones disrupted Scorpion's rhythm badly.

Sasuke coordinated well with Naruto, and their teamwork put pressure on Scorpion.

Seeing Scorpion take off his cloak, Kaede knew—the fight was nearing its end.

He commented:

"Scorpion's strength is just so-so."

"Barely entry-level Kage-tier."

"Why did you keep running away?" Kaede asked.

The question was for Shukaku.

Shukaku was a Tailed Beast. Although many Kage could take one down, and the Raikage even fought the Eight Tails head-on—

Shukaku still had decent power, enough to fight Scorpion.

Tailed Beasts had their own advantages.

But Shukaku didn't show any of them.

"Ugh…"

"Scorpion's boss in the Akatsuki—Pain—has the Rinnegan."

"And I got beaten before…" Shukaku muttered.

So it got scared?

"Ah…"

Shukaku suddenly remembered something. "Wait, Scorpion and Deidara said that if they failed to capture me, then their leader Pain would come in person."
