Chương 122: Pervert

If he's going to steal ocular power, it must be something worthwhile. A Three Tomoe Sharingan doesn't make sense for him, he needs something more.

Chen wasn't interested in just any kind of ocular power; a regular Sharingan wasn't enough. He needed something on the level of the Mangekyō Sharingan, but he knew that even one or two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan wouldn't be enough to elevate the power of his Tenseigan.

He estimated that he would need at least hundreds of pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan to make a difference. Even considering the entire history of the Uchiha clan, such a quantity of Mangekyō Sharingan had never existed.

However, there was another ocular power that interested him: Madara's Rinnegan. A predatory smile spread across his face as he thought of it. 'I don't care whose Rinnegan it is. If it serves my purpose, I'll take it for myself.'

"For the sake of my immortality, it seems I'll have to start with Madara's eyes," he murmured, his gaze fixed in the direction of the Land of Rain.

Looking up at the sky, he observed the full moon shining in the dark night. The moon was no longer as round as it had been years ago; it had a visible hollow, and that made him realize something important.

"Of course! How could I forget that?" he said to himself, slapping his forehead.

Looking at the moon, he could almost imagine the enormous Tenseigan that was there, as if it were calling him. "Is that giant Tenseigan already created? If not, I'll create it myself," he said quietly, a cold light flowing through his eyes.

He took a deep breath, deciding it wasn't the right time to go to the moon. But his thoughts were clear. If the enormous Tenseigan was already created, he would take it for himself. And if it wasn't, he would simply eliminate the inhabitants of the moon, take their eyes, and build it himself. Either way, the Ōtsutsuki clan that inhabited the moon was facing its doom.

The ruthless Chen would show no mercy to the Ōtsutsuki clan. In his mind, they were just another obstacle on the path to immortality.

"What are you looking at? Those eyes of yours are scary," said a soft voice, pulling Chen out of his thoughts.

Kushina nudged him lightly, bringing him back to reality. The murderous intent in Chen's eyes faded immediately. He turned to her, and with a mischievous smile, pinched her nose.

"Hmph! Stop pinching my nose!" Kushina said, pushing Chen's hand away while smiling. "Mikoto prepared a midnight snack. Do you want to come eat it?"

"A midnight snack, huh? Well, dinner left me pretty full, but if Mikoto already prepared it, it'd be a waste to leave it untouched, don't you think?" Chen said with a mocking smile.

"Just admit you want to eat it! Why do you have to beat around the bush? I really don't understand you!" Kushina replied, giving him a disdainful look.

Chen smiled and gently tapped Kushina's head. "What do you know?"

"What I do know is you always end up hitting my head," Kushina said, pouting and looking at him sadly. Then she took the opportunity to pinch Chen's waist firmly.

Chen smiled, unable to help himself. "You really like causing trouble, Kushina!"

….

Upon entering the dining room, Tsunade, Mikoto, and Konan were already seated at the table, waiting.

Chen approached and sat down, then took the sake from the table, poured himself a glass, and drank it in one go, savoring the sweet taste with satisfaction.

"What were you doing outside? Were you thinking of some pretty girl?" Tsunade asked with a mischievous smile and a teasing voice.

"Oh! How did you guess, Tsunade?" Chen responded with an exaggerated "shocked" expression, placing a hand over his chest as if surprised.

"What?! You were seriously thinking about another woman and not me?!" Tsunade exclaimed as she stood up, her gaze suddenly sharp, as if she wanted to pierce Chen.

Mikoto, who had been smiling sweetly until then, suddenly turned dark as if a black cloud had enveloped her. Her eyes locked on Chen, showing pure rage.

Kushina, who had followed Chen into the dining room, was clearly furious. Her eyes burned with anger, and her red hair floated as if alive, emulating the Nine Tails' tails.

Even Konan, who remained silent, pouted and threw Chen a disapproving look.

A drop of sweat ran down Chen's forehead. He never thought an innocent joke could cause such a reaction.

"Of course, I was thinking of pretty girls... but they were you," he said with a big smile, trying to dissipate the tense atmosphere with his charm.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes for a moment, then snorted before sitting down again. Mikoto returned to her sweet smile, as if nothing had happened. Kushina's hair also fell, and Konan let out a giggle, finally relaxing.

"You know how to get away with things, Chen," Kushina said with a somewhat forced smile.

"What do you mean 'getting away with things'? You shouldn't have doubted me in the first place! Do you think I'm shallow enough to think about other women?" Chen replied with indignation and a confident smile.

The four girls, including Konan, exchanged glances and then stared at Chen, their gazes full of skepticism.

Chen couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

"Do you really not realize, Chen? Don't you have any self-awareness?" Tsunade said with an ironic smile.

"Chen, you've always been a big pervert. Ever since we were kids, you already showed your colors. I remember the first day of class at the academy, you followed me around all morning," Mikoto said, with a nostalgic smile and a glint of mischief in her eyes.

"Big pervert! That's what you've always been, a big pervert since you were a kid," added Kushina, frowning and looking at Chen with disdain.

"So, Big Brother was a pervert from childhood... wow, that's really scary," Konan commented, showing a frightened expression while covering her mouth with her hand.

Chen, unfazed, shrugged and said shamelessly, "Come on, I'm a man! What's wrong with enjoying sex? What's wrong with being a little perverted? I'm proud of my nature!"

"Not only are you a pervert, but you're also the most shameless man I've ever known," Tsunade replied, rolling her eyes.

The girls were left speechless, looking at Chen, who was so proud of himself. Seeing him take such pride in being shameless left them perplexed. Did he really think that being so shameless was something to be proud of?

"Anyway, there's nothing we can do to change you... is there?" Kushina sighed, resigned, crossing her arms.

"Come on, enough talking, let's eat! If you keep arguing, I'll eat everything by myself," Chen said, looking at the food on the table and smiling cheekily.

There wasn't much food for dinner, and he wasted no time devouring what was there. More than half of the food had already disappeared into his stomach while the girls were still talking.

"HEY! Don't eat everything, leave something for us!" Kushina exclaimed, looking at the almost empty plates, clearly annoyed.

Chen laughed, "That's what you get for talking so much and eating so little!"
