[Ding!
Detected Host conspiring with the Seven-Tails to leave behind a decoy beast, thoroughly scamming the entire Hidden Waterfall Village.
This action is truly shameless!
Reward: Ninjutsu +10, Physique +7, Genjutsu +10.]
‘Whoa, now that’s a massive surprise.’
Originally, Senzan had only planned to snatch Chomei for his own personal benefit.
He never expected it to perfectly align with his Invincible Shamelessness System.
He immediately pulled up his status screen.
[Gekko Senzan] [Age: 14] [Hidden Leaf Village, Gekko Clan Chunin, Jinchuriki (Seven-Tails)] [Kekkei Genkai: Transparency (Perfect Mastery)] [Ninjutsu: Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu, Eight Inner Gates, Flying Thunder God Jutsu, Fire Style (Fireball Jutsu, Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu), Earth Style (Mud Wall, Headhunter Jutsu)] [Tailed Beast: Chomei.

Note: Stats are based on the Official Fanbook/Databook (Rin no Sho), on a scale of approximately 1:10.]
Feeling the sudden surge of strength fortifying his physique, along with the sharp increase in his jutsu stats, Senzan felt like he was practically floating on air!
From within Senzan’s body, Chomei sensed the boy’s sudden burst of pure, unadulterated joy.
It felt a bit baffling.
‘What the hell are you giggling about, kid?’ Chomei grumbled in his mind.
‘Hurry up and get us out of here.
I don’t want to spend another second in this damp cave.’
For some inexplicable reason, Chomei suddenly felt like it and Senzan were a perfect match—like two peas in a very weird pod.
But that didn’t mean it wasn’t going to rush him.
Hearing Chomei’s impatient urging, Senzan reined in his wandering thoughts, nodded, and instantly activated his core Kekkei Genkai—the Transparency Jutsu.
‘Tsk, tsk.
No wonder you managed to slip right in,’ Chomei marveled from the mindscape.
‘Even I didn’t sense you when you entered.
What kind of jutsu is this?
Complete invisibility, and it even erases your chakra signature.’
Senzan chuckled, his chest puffing out with pride.
‘It’s my clan’s Kekkei Genkai, the Transparency Jutsu.
It completely camouflages my body and perfectly masks my presence.’
‘Tch.
A bloodline limit like that, paired with your utterly shameless personality?
It really is a match made in heaven,’ Chomei snorted.
‘Hey, watch it, Chomei.
Don’t just blurt out the honest truth like that!
Besides, I’m not shameless.
It’s called playing it safe, okay?’
Honestly, how was he shameless?
If it weren’t for this damn system, would he really be out here pulling these ridiculous stunts every day?
‘Well…
okay, maybe staring at deep ravines and towering peaks all day isn’t so bad for the eyes,’ Senzan admitted to himself.
Maintaining his Transparency, Senzan carefully tiptoed his way out of the sealing cavern.
Whoa.
The moment he stepped out, the area was absolutely packed.
Because Chomei had ordered its decoy shell to thrash violently, Takigakure had been thrown back into a state of high alert.
After all, if the seal broke and the Seven-Tails broke loose, it would spell absolute disaster for the village.
It was precisely because of this volatile sealing barrier that Senzan hadn’t dared to use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu directly inside the cave.
If teleporting through the spatial distortion accidentally triggered a chain reaction with the seal, he’d be in deep trouble.
‘Hmph!
Look at these idiots!’ Chomei gloated as they passed the sweating guards.
‘I’m out of here!
And I’m never coming back!’
Watching the crowd desperately struggling to secure a fake shell while the actual Tailed Beast casually strolled right out the front door brought Chomei an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Senzan took it one steady step at a time.
The moment he cleared the cavern and the immediate sealing zone, he instantly triggered the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, the scenery completely shifted.
This abrupt transition stunned Chomei.
‘Holy crap, kid!’ Chomei yelled.
‘What did you just do?!
How did the scenery change so fast?!’
One second they were surrounded by the buildings of the Hidden Waterfall, and the next, they were standing in the middle of a dense forest!
Was this kid a magician?
‘Not bad at all.
I’ll definitely make him do party tricks for me when I get bored.’
‘Don’t freak out, Chomei.
This is just another one of my jutsu,’ Senzan explained casually.
‘It’s a space-time ninjutsu called the Flying Thunder God.
It’s the absolute best technique for running away.’
‘Space-time ninjutsu?’ Chomei was genuinely impressed.
‘You actually know something like that?
Very nice.
That drastically increases our survival rate.
Yes, this kid is definitely growing on me.’
‘I’m going to regroup with my teammates first, and then we’ll head straight back to the Leaf Village,’ Senzan added.
‘Oh, by the way, those bugs I fed you earlier?
They belong to one of my teammates.
He’s from the Aburame clan.
They specialize in breeding bugs.’
‘Bugs?!’ Chomei’s mouth instantly began to water.
The previous snack had been so delicious that it had only succeeded in waking up its appetite.
Now, it was absolutely starving.
Now safely outside Takigakure, Senzan sprinted straight for their designated rendezvous point.
Sure enough, he found Nara Suzaku and Aburame Shibi sitting in a clearing, staring boredly at the sky.
“Hey, you two.
How much longer are you planning to slack off?”
The sudden voice startled both of them.
Suzaku and Shibi whipped their heads toward the sound.
Senzan slowly dropped his invisibility, revealing a deeply aggrieved expression on his face.
As a seasoned slacker, Senzan knew perfectly well that if you were going to put on an act, you had to commit to the bit.
He had just been sent on an incredibly dangerous, highly annoying solo infiltration mission.
Throwing a little tantrum was the most natural response in the world.
You’re back!” Suzaku gasped in relief.
“About time, kid!
We’ve been waiting here so long the flowers are starting to wilt.”
Senzan stared blankly at the flower in Shibi’s hand, which had already been chewed down to the stem by his kikaichu bugs.
He was utterly speechless.
But the moment Chomei spotted those insects, its eyes lit up like floodlights!
‘Bugs!
Delicious bugs!’ Chomei cheered in his mind.
‘Quick, kid, grab those bugs for me!
I want a full meal!’
Senzan immediately muted Chomei’s voice in his head.
‘Just wait until we get back to the village.
You’ll get everything you want then, but you can’t eat his bugs right now!’ he shot back.
“Hmph!
You guys sure look comfortable out here,” Senzan complained loudly, crossing his arms.
“Let me tell you, I didn’t eat or sleep well in there for days!
I had to survive on nothing but stale food pills!
You two owe me five thousand Ryo each for emotional damages!”
Aside from his perverted tendencies, Senzan had another highly prominent character flaw: absolute greed.
He was practically a walking collection of vices.
“Five thousand Ryo?!
Are you insane?!” Suzaku choked, looking like he was about to have a heart attack.
“Five thousand?
That is acceptable.
I will pay you when we return,” Shibi replied calmly.
The two men perfectly demonstrated the sheer contrast in their financial values.
Suzaku was horrified; despite being a Nara, he wasn’t particularly wealthy.
He enjoyed a good drink and the occasional gamble, meaning he had basically zero savings.
Shibi, on the other hand, was the heir to the Aburame clan.
He was absolutely loaded.
“Alright, whatever.
Let’s just get out of here,” Senzan grumbled, rubbing his temples.
“Just looking at this waterfall gives me a headache.”
‘Exactly!
Hurry up and leave!’ Chomei echoed enthusiastically.
‘I hate this place more than you do!
To the Leaf Village!
I want bugs!’
“Oh, right.
Shibi,” Senzan added smoothly as they turned to leave.
“I put your bugs in a glass bottle for safekeeping, but I ended up losing it somewhere along the way.
Sorry about that.”
Shibi stared at him.
‘…My bugs…
no wonder they all died at the exact same time.’
