Couldn't agree more. Plus I think there's a reason he can't see his mother, she might be dead. Though its funny how Chouko is having ninja line up for her to be there master, though its understandable with her attitude and how she treats them (more than just a tool).

Him asking if she’d sleep with him and my mind was just screaming “yeeees I would”
