Synopsis
In the shadows of Konoha, a cunning rogue rises—Moonlight Chiyama, the ninja world’s most unpredictable thief! Starting his legendary journey by stealing the Seven-Tails and becoming its Jinchūriki, Chiyama wields a unique Kekkei Genkai, Transparency Release. Is it just for spying? Or is it the perfect tool for his daring heists? With forbidden jutsu like the Flying Thunder God Technique and Chōmei's flight abilities, his escapades leave even the strongest shinobi baffled. But Chiyama isn't just a thief—he's chaos incarnate. From the "Not-a-Decent-Person System" to his infamous "Three-Steal Policy," his antics shake the ninja world to its core. Whether it’s stealing forbidden scrolls, sabotaging legendary warriors like Edo Tensei Madara, or even outsmarting the Sage of Six Paths, Chiyama’s audacity knows no bounds. Hiruzen Sarutobi fumes: “Chiyama, you scoundrel! When did you steal the forbidden jutsu?!” Jiraiya laments: “Half the content of Icha Icha Paradise came from Moonlight Chiyama. For that, I sacrificed half my ninjutsu!” A thrilling blend of action, humor, and rebellion, this story will keep you hooked as Moonlight Chiyama redefines what it means to be a ninja. ———————————————————————————————————— Original Title: 木叶老六,开局成为七尾人柱力 Original Author: 杠精萝卜头 patreon.com/WhiteGold388

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Pranking Jiraiya Right from the Start

[Mind Archive]

[Focusing on non-stop fun, with all sorts of wild shenanigans when not fighting. Hope you enjoy!]

[A lighthearted daily life story. Not your cup of tea? No need to roast.]

[As for the heroine, whether it's a single or multiple love interests hasn't been decided yet. Suggestions are warmly welcome – really, I do take them seriously!]

[Regarding the timeline, it strictly follows the databooks and established chronology without major deviations. If something feels off, please double-check the manga – especially Minato's rescue of Kushina, which has clear canon references.]

[Story Begins]

"So big... so pale..."

"Tsk tsk, top-notch inspiration..."

"That one's not bad either..."

Outside the hot spring bathhouse in Konoha Village, a white-haired man was peeping while blushing.

While peeking, he was even jotting down notes.

"Huh? That figure over there is even better! Outstanding material!"

"You got that right. I dig that one more too! Check out that waist, those curves! Tsk tsk – and completely natural too!"

Suddenly another voice sounded beside the man, genuinely startling him. Completely forgetting his situation, he shouted:

"Who's there!"

This exclamation failed to locate the voice source but instead exposed his hiding spot.

Inside the bathhouse, an explosion of noise erupted.

"There's someone peeping!"

"It's over there!"

"That white-haired creep! He's peeping!"

"Sisters, beat him up!"

Well, this immediately gave him away.

The white-haired man hurriedly tried to gather his things and escape, but just then the voice from earlier rang out again.

"Better you die than me, Lord Jiraiya. Sorry about that!"

Jiraiya hesitated slightly, only to feel his foot caught by something. The next moment he fell flat on his face, and someone jumped over him.

"Bastard! I know who you are now!"

"Don't run! Kid!"

Just as Jiraiya angrily shouted, more than ten women wearing bathrobes rushed out from the bathhouse behind him, each looking fierce as they surrounded Jiraiya directly.

"Oh? Pale legs… so many pale legs…"

"Don't hit my face! Ow! I'm sorry!"

...

...

When Jiraiya finally managed to escape, his face was already full of bruises with bumps all over his head.

"Tsk tsk, Lord Jiraiya – gotta hand it to you, you sure can take a beating..."

That voice appeared again, watching the increasingly annoyed Jiraiya curse,

"Chiyan, you went too far!"

"We could've escaped together, yet you had to drag me down!"

A figure slowly emerged before Jiraiya.

It was indeed appearing slowly, as if he hadn't existed at first, his body gradually taking form from transparency into a human figure.

He was a teenage boy, smirking slightly, with heavy eye bags beneath both eyes.

Black hair, black eyes, perfectly balanced features, and messy short locks – definitely a heartthrob.

"Lord Jiraiya, come on now, you clearly failed to escape on your own. How could you blame me?"

"Good one, brat! You actually pranked me!"

The boy's name was: Gekko Chiyan.

From the Gekko Clan of Konoha.

Well, he also has a younger brother who's just learned how to walk, named Hayate Gekko.

Of course, he isn't originally from this world, but rather someone who reincarnated into the womb and became one of only two survivors from the Gekko Clan.

His father perished during the Second Great Ninja War, leaving only him and his younger brother behind.

His mother passed away shortly after giving birth to Hayate Gekko. From then on, only the two brothers remained in the Gekko Clan.

Now, four years have passed since the end of the Second Great Ninja War, and Gekko Chiyan had already become a Chunin.

Originally, he was a promising young man from the 21st century, but due to accidentally peeking at some steamy scenes, he ended up bleeding to death.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in the world of Naruto.

Of course, as a transmigrant, he naturally obtained the standard system power-up.

Whether it was because he died from peeping in his previous life or not, his system was both infuriatingly (yet delightfully) annoying, practically forcing him onto the path of no return.

Because his system's name is: The More Despicable, the Invincible!

[Ding! Detected host peeping on 15 ladies bathing for 1 hour, specially rewarding physique +1.]

[Ding! Obstructed Jiraiya's escape, causing him to be beaten by a group of women, specially rewarding physique +1.]

Chiyan felt a surge of warmth rushing through his body. Tsk tsk, not bad, his physical body had grown stronger again.

As a member of the Gekko Clan, his Kekkei Genkai was Transparent Escape.

A special Kekkei Genkai that allows him to turn transparent and completely conceal all his presence.

Moreover, his Transparent Escape was far more powerful than Hayate Gekko's in the original story; even Sensor techniques couldn't detect him.

This made him wonder whether Hayate Gekko hadn't mastered his own Kekkei Genkai properly, how could he be so weak.

Although it provided no offensive capabilities whatsoever, when it came to concealment abilities, he could confidently claim second place, knowing nobody dared to contest the first.

Relying on this Kekkei Genkai, he seamlessly moved around the village doing all sorts of unscrupulous deeds.

Peeping, tripping passersby—every trick imaginable was at his disposal.

He rose to the rank of Chunin solely thanks to the system.

[Gekko Chiyan]

[Age: 14]

[Konoha Village, Gekko Clan Chunin]

[Kekkei Genkai: Transparent Escape (Perfectly Mastered)]

[Ninjutsu: Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, Eight Gates, Flying Thunder God Technique, Fire Release Techniques (Great Fireball, Phoenix Sage Fire), Earth Release Techniques (Earth Flow Wall, Inner Decapitation).]

[Strength: 45]

[Speed: 60]

[Chakra: 55]

[Physique: 63]

[Ninjutsu: 50]

[Taijutsu: 40]

[Genjutsu: 30]

[Hand Seals: 50]

[Ding, notice, the stats are set referencing the Scroll of Seals, roughly maintaining a 1:10 ratio.]

[Conclusion: You're a highly balanced ninja; but balance also means lacking any truly standout traits.]

Looking at the Ninjutsu he'd learned, it could be said he'd acquired several major overpowered techniques.

Who knows how exhilarating it felt sneaking into restricted areas using Transparent Escape, gazing at the Scroll of Seals.

On that day, holding the Scroll of Seals while standing by the window, he sighed, "There is no equal to me in this world!"

Returning to the present moment.

Jiraiya rubbed his swollen cheeks and looked at Gekko Chiyan with envy. "Your Kekkei Genkai is truly amazing, kid."

"It's absolutely made for peeking!"

Hey, you white-haired guy, how dare you describe our noble Transparent Escape so bluntly?

What do you mean "made for peeking"? This ability is genuinely—

Incredible!

Gekko Chiyan never claimed to be a good person; otherwise, in his previous life, he wouldn't have died from excitement after accidentally seeing certain scenes.

And now with his [Don't-Even-Act-Human System], there was even less reason for him to pretend to be one.

Wouldn't it be great to just keep going all the way down this despicable and lecherous path? After all, 'The More Despicable, the Invincible.'

Once he rose to power, even Otsutsuki wouldn't be safe from his peeping eyes!

As for how he met Jiraiya? Naturally, they'd met while both were peeking.

"Hehe, Master Jiraiya, weren't you on a mission? Why are you back already?"

"And as soon as you returned, you came straight here to peek again. If Hokage-sama finds out, he'll break your legs before saying—"

"You idiot! You did something like this without inviting me along!"

Just thinking about how Elder Sarutobi Hiruzen had specially invented the Telescope Technique just for peeking.

What a tsk-tsking role model among peepers.

"Hahaha! You brat, you're not wrong at all! Let me tell you, Sarutobi's just a dirty old man!"

"I've actually been back for several days already, and I even took on a disciple—someone from your generation."

"Minato Namikaze, heard of him?"

Of course he'd heard of him. The other day Minato even saved Kushina Uzumaki, the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

He's the future main character's dad.

"Oh man, Master Jiraiya! For a second there, I thought you'd take me as your student!"

"After all, in the art of peeping, how fated are we two!?"

"My poor heart! You've broken it! No way am I keeping quiet unless you offer serious compensation!"

Jiraiya: ??? Are you seriously not even acting like a human anymore?! Now you need an excuse to blackmail me?!
