Outside the hot spring bathhouse in Konohagakure, a white-haired man with a ruddy complexion and strikingly mischievous air was peeping through a crack in the fence. His sharp eyes darted back and forth, and every now and then, he scribbled something into a notebook with a fervent enthusiasm.
"So big… so fair," he muttered under his breath.
"Tsk tsk, such a good material…"
"That one is not bad either. Hey? That one over there has a better figure! Excellent material!" He adjusted his angle, nodding appreciatively.
Jiraiya leaned in closer, his pen working overtime as his gaze locked onto another target.
Suddenly, a voice sounded right next to him. "Yeah, I like that one too! Look at that waist, those curves! Wow, it's still pink!"
The unexpected remark made Jiraiya jump, his heart skipping a beat. Whipping around, he shouted, "Who!"
However, the owner of the voice was nowhere to be seen. Worse yet, his outburst had attracted the attention of the bathhouse's occupants.
A sharp yell erupted from inside.
"Someone's peeping!"
"Over there!"
"That white-haired guy! He's peeping!"
"Ladies, kill him!"
Jiraiya's eyes widened in horror. "This time, I'm definitely exposed!" He hastily tried to gather his notes and tools, fumbling in his panic.
Before he could make a clean getaway, the mysterious voice chimed in again, full of feigned sorrow.
"Friendship means more than life itself... but... Lord Jiraiya, forgive me!"
Jiraiya froze in confusion, and in that instant, he felt a sudden tug at his feet. He toppled over with a startled yelp, his belongings scattering everywhere.
"Bastard! I know who you are!" he roared, struggling to get up.
But before he could regain his footing, someone leapt onto his back and vaulted out of the area, leaving him sprawled in the dirt.
"Don't run, kid!" Jiraiya bellowed, furious.
His shout barely echoed before the sound of hurried footsteps erupted behind him. A dozen women in bathrobes stormed out of the bathhouse, their faces livid. They immediately surrounded Jiraiya, their expressions a mix of outrage and vengeance.
"Oh? White legs… so many white legs…" Jiraiya murmured, his face caught between awe and terror.
"Don't hit my face! Ouch! My bad!"
...
When the chaos finally subsided, Jiraiya managed to escape, though he was a battered mess. His face was bruised, large bumps adorned his head, and his clothes were in tatters.
As he stumbled away, the same voice called out again, brimming with mockery.
"Wow, Lord Jiraiya, I gotta say, you can really take a beating..."
Grinding his teeth, Jiraiya yelled, "Kazuyama, you've gone too far!"
"We could have run away together, but you had to get me into trouble!"
A figure slowly emerged in front of him, materializing out of thin air. At first, it was translucent, but its form gradually solidified. The boy was young, with tousled black hair, dark eyes, and an impish smile that danced across his face. Heavy bags under his eyes hinted at sleepless nights, but his attractive features gave him an almost ethereal charm.
"Lord Jiraiya, you're joking. It was obviously your own fault that you couldn't escape, so how can you blame it on me?"
Jiraiya's face contorted with rage. "You little brat, how dare you trick me!"
The boy in front of him was Kazuyama Gekkō, a member of Konoha's Gekkō Clan.
Despite his mischievous demeanor, his background was anything but lighthearted. Kazuyama was the elder brother of Hayate Gekkō, a child who had only recently learned to walk. The Gekkō siblings were the last remnants of their clan.
Their father had fallen during the Second Ninja World War, leaving behind a grieving wife and two young sons. Tragically, their mother passed away shortly after giving birth to Hayate, leaving Kazuyama to shoulder the burden of raising his younger brother alone.
Though only four years had passed since the war's end, Kazuyama had already achieved the rank of Chūnin. His ascent was remarkable, though not entirely straightforward.
In truth, Kazuyama wasn't originally from this world. He had been a young man in the 21st century, living an unremarkable life until an incident changed everything. During an impulsive act of voyeurism, his blood had boiled in excitement—quite literally—and he had died on the spot. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the world of Naruto as a child.
As a Transmigrator, Kazuyama had the fortune—or misfortune—of gaining a unique System. However, the System's nature was peculiar and vexing. Named "Unbeatable When You're Shameless!" it rewarded him for shameless acts.
His System operated under a simple yet frustrating principle: the more outrageous and brazen his actions, the greater the rewards.
[System Notification]
Detected: Host peeping on 15 ladies taking a shower for 1 hour. Special reward: +1 physical strength.
Special reward: +1 physical strength for obstructing Jiraiya's escape and causing him to be beaten up by a group of women.
Kazuyama felt a surge of warmth coursing through his body. His strength had increased once again. "Not bad," he thought, pleased with the results.
As a member of the Gekkō Clan, Kazuyama inherited a unique Kekkei Genkai: Transparent Escape.
This ability allowed him to render his body and presence completely undetectable. However, Kazuyama's mastery far exceeded what Gekkō Hayate would achieve in the original timeline. His Transparent Escape was so advanced that even Perception Ninjutsu couldn't sense him.
This led Kazuyama to speculate about his younger brother's limitations. Had Hayate simply failed to fully master their clan's abilities? Or was Kazuyama's proficiency due to his System-enhanced potential?
Regardless, Kazuyama used his Transparent Escape for a variety of exploits around the village. From harmless pranks like tripping passersby to more audacious acts like peeping, his mischievous streak knew no bounds.
Despite his antics, his rise to Chūnin was undeniably linked to the System's rewards.

System Evaluation:
Ding! Based on the power's scaling system (1:10 ratio), you are a well-balanced ninja. However, "well-balanced" can also mean there's nothing particularly outstanding about you.
Looking at the ninjutsu he had mastered, it could be said he had conquered all the major systems. God knew how exhilarating it felt to sneak into forbidden places and examine the Scroll of Seals.
That day, as he stood by the window holding the Scroll of Seals tightly in his arms, he declared, "No one in this world can match me!"
But shifting the perspective back to the present.
Jiraiya rubbed his swollen cheeks, looking at Gekkō Kazuyama with envy. "This brat's Kekkei Genkai is really amazing," he said. "This is totally made for peeping."
Hey, you white-haired guy! How dare you describe our noble Transparent Escape as ordinary? What do you mean, made for peeping? This is incredible! This is greatness!
Kazuyama Gekkō prided himself on not being a virtuous person; otherwise, he would've not died of excitement in his previous life just from peeping at certain images. What's more, with an inappropriate system, there was no need to act like a saint.
It was wonderful to tread the path of obscenity—with this Unbeatable When You're Shameless System. By the time he rose in power, he would even dare to peek at Kaguya Ōtsutsuki!
As for how he met Jiraiya, it was through peeping together.
"Hey, hey, Lord Jiraiya, didn't you go on a mission? Why are you back?"
"And as soon as you come back, you're peeping? If Lord Hokage finds out, he'll break your legs and say, 'You bastard, how could you do something like this without me?'"
Just thinking about it made him laugh. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had even invented a special peeping technique using a telescope. Truly, a role model for all voyeurs.
"Hahahaha, you little brat, you're right! I'll tell you what, that old man is a real pervert!" Jiraiya laughed. "I've been back for a few days now, and I've even taken on an apprentice—someone from the same year as you."
"Minato Namikaze, do you know him?"
Che, of course I know him. He saved the life of the future Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, Kushina Uzumaki, just the other day. The parents of the future protagonist.
"Ah! Lord Jiraiya, I thought you would take me as your disciple!" Kazuyama exclaimed dramatically. "After all, we are so fated in the path of voyeurism!"
"It's over. You've hurt my young heart! Without a lot of compensation, I'll tell Lord Third about your peeping!"
Jiraiya blinked. "???"
You scoundrel! You need a reason to blackmail me, don't you?
