[Little Gui's Livestream]
"I think… Master Kucha still has a conscience."
"When he raised the question of how the doctor could possibly pay attention to mortals, I knew things were about to get complicated."
"Let's continue watching!"
Little Gui clicked on the screen.
The plot continued.
...
"Transfer Subject Three to Denisovan 22? Why!?" Master Kucha's questioning voice rang out.
"The answer is simple. You won't graduate. According to Denisovan 22's report, you're steering the experiment in the wrong direction."
"No, let me go and ask her for clarification!"
However,
when he found the Umbra Headmistress,
she was already delivering her vision as the representative of the Seventeenth Laboratory!
All the lab staff were visibly stirred by her inflammatory speech!
Then,
the scene shifted.
Master Kucha demanded, "Denisovan 22, what on earth is going on?!"
"I've already graduated. You should call me Ape 22 now."
The Umbra Headmistress said coldly and arrogantly,
"Still asking why? That was a new human cultivated through the painstaking efforts of the institute, selected through the atavism experiment. Yet, you turned her into a lunatic. The research apes have decided that I will take the lead in cultivation from now on."
"I don't care who holds the lead, but you can't continue the experiment. She'll be ruined!"
Master Kucha was visibly agitated!
But the Umbra Headmistress said coldly, "It's fine. I'm already cultivating Subject Four. If something goes wrong, we'll just replace her."
Hearing this,
Master Kucha's suppressed emotions finally erupted!
"Master's Secret Curse, that's the child we raised from infancy. Don't you have even a shred of morality?!"
"Morality? You're talking to me about morality?"
The Umbra Headmistress also became agitated,
"In Bacchus-, morality dictates that the second son of every family must be sacrificed to Nanook; in the Pegasus Interstellar Duchy, morality requires bipedal beings to become slaves to quadrupedal beings; on Capakara, morality forbids blue-eyed people from stepping onto the streets."
And she herself had a pair of blue eyes.
"Morality shackled the wisdom of those people and ended the future of those worlds. That's why Dr. Primitive chose them as targets for the atavism experiment."
"Our sacrifices aren't for such vulgar things, but for a future where humanity can be happy, the universe can progress, and the Doctor can be satisfied!"
...
"So, Master Kucha really cares about Rappa!"
"The phrase '[the child we raised from infancy]' fully reveals his feelings for Rappa."
"Master Kucha seems more like a father, but Denisovan 22 doesn't see it that way. She doesn't consider herself a mother."
"...This part was quite serious, but seeing the Master's Secret Curse made me want to laugh."
"Now I understand what kind of people follow Dr. Primitive. These are individuals who were hurt in their own worlds, leading to twisted psyches and paths of harming the innocent."
"In comparison, Master Kucha is truly a breath of fresh air in the lab."
...
The scene changed again.
Rappa looked at the Umbra Headmistress in disbelief.
"Umbra Headmistress, are you... destroying the Cosmic Ninjutsu Inscriptions? Why?"
"Isolating cognition is the first step in curing the Memetic Entity virus. Your genius-level intellect was stifled by this garbage."
The Umbra Headmistress said coldly,
"—Tear it up. Tear it up yourself."
"Th-this is the Dazzling Ninja's treasure. It must not be..."
The Umbra Headmistress was visibly displeased. "Strange, I remember you always being obedient. Whatever Denisovan 75 said, you did. Why is it different with me?"
"As long as you perform well, both Denisovan 75 and I can benefit. You wouldn't want to disappoint him, would you?"
Rappa, still in a daze, nodded again.
"I understand now. This must be a test from Master Kucha, to challenge my resolve in the Ninja's path of detachment..."
...
"Ahhh, this part is heartbreaking... It's her first attempt at refusal, for something she loves!"
"Damn you, Umbra Headmistress!! No, Denisovan 22! You have no heart at all!"
"There's a sense of helplessness, like wanting to slap someone through the screen..."
"Is this old hag still alive?"
"The mission description here says that the current Rappa could crush fools like flies, but she didn't do it for the sake of that master."
"Wuwu, my dear Rappa..."
...
Entering the next scene.
Master Kucha and the Umbra Headmistress were arguing again!
And this time,
It was more intense than ever!
"Denisovan 22, you can't just dispose of her!"
The Umbra Headmistress spoke condescendingly, "Number Three is also a failure. She trespassed into the containment room, caused chaos, and was disrespectful to the research apes. Just for that, she's already failed."
"But you know, it was just an accident."
"I'm a research ape, not a BananAdvisor. You're the one who raised her into this cursed state. The lab should hold you accountable."
"Bastard..."
After the Umbra Headmistress left.
Rappa, still confused, stepped forward.
She asked, "Master Kucha, did I... do something wrong?"
Master Kucha looked at Rappa...
And suddenly became gentle.
He said, "...No, Rappa."
"You did very well. A true Ninja Hero should wholeheartedly follow their Ninja path."
"You thwarted the evil ninjas' conspiracy, saved many innocent people. Without a doubt, you already possess the qualities of a true ninja."
...
"Suddenly, he became so gentle."
"He really has feelings for Rappa."
"Only Master Kucha has been using the name Rappa chose for herself!"
"Perhaps, at first, Master Kucha also treated Rappa as an experiment, but gradually, Rappa awakened his humanity and conscience."
"I hated him for brainwashing Rappa at first, but now I can't hate him anymore..."
"It's not too late to turn back."
"But people like Denisovan 22 have completely lost their minds. The best way is to send her to her grave!"
"She's doomed! Once the plot is exposed, players from across the universe will hunt her down!"
...
Master Kucha's expression turned grave.
It seemed he had finally made up his mind.
He said to Rappa:
"You have been my disciple for five years, enduring the hardships of rigorous training, facing the dangers of trials, and mastering all the ninja techniques."
"Today, I bestow upon you the title of Chaos Ninja. You will become our vanguard in the fight against evil ninjas, leading the Ninja Capital forward."
"I am deeply honored, Master Kucha..." Rappa said respectfully.
"Take this scroll. It contains the essence of Chaos Ninjutsu, capable of unleashing a brilliance that terrifies evil spirits and destroys the evil ninjas' formations."
"Spread it across the Ninja Capital, use its ink to dispel the city's gloom, and raise the banner of resistance against evil."
"What should I draw, Master?" Rappa asked.
"I don't know, ninja disciple."
"You can draw anything, a picture that reflects what's in your heart. This is your own ninjutsu."
"—So, you must decide for yourself."
...
"This is the third time this phrase has appeared, and only now do I fully understand its meaning…"
"Actual situation: Use modified spray cans to graffiti and destroy the security system."
"Mission introduction: As a girl who has become a ninja, use your ninja talismans to revive the colors of the Ninja City! As for the content of the talismans… nothing is more fitting than your name—Unwavering Heart, Destroy Evil and Uphold Righteousness!"
"Here it comes!"
"Finally, we're going to break this cage!"
"Master Kucha, well done!"
"These words sound like they're from a true master."
"Go, Rappa! Turn this imperfect story into what you desire!"
