Chapter 19: A Different Gekko Shiyu

"The amount of chakra has almost doubled!"

Said Shiyu when he got up to wash himself the next morning. Then he looked at himself in the mirror.

Since his chakra is full, his physical and psychological state is very good.

Shiyu looked very energetic, and at the same time felt the amount of chakra in his body.

Sure enough, compared with before, the amount has doubled now.

If the genius, Sasuke, is used as the subject of measurement, then Shiyu's chakra has reached sixteen or seventeen times that of Sasuke's.

At the same time, compared with Naruto, his chakra's amount only caught up to one-third of Naruto's chakra capacity.

Compared to before, the increase in the amount of chakra has slowed down almost imperceptibly.

This is also normal, just like elevating internal strength, the further you go, the slower it will be!

"It seems that after returning from the academy, I have to spend time updating the status of the chakra refining technique!"

Otherwise, regardless of this, the amount of chakra enhanced by the chakra refining technique will continue to improve slowly.

In fact, chakra that doubles in one day is not slow at all. But Shiyu was unsatisfied with this.

Greed is also the driving force behind human struggle.

After tidying up, Shiyu opened his door and walked towards the academy.

When he came to the school's gate, he immediately attracted attention.

The current Shiyu's outfit is completely different from before, and it could be regarded as extremely handsome for his age.

He immediately attracted the attention of a large group of girls.

"This is... Classmate Shiyu! You are so handsome today!"

"What are you talking about, the former Shiyu is also very handsome!"

"But in the past, Shiyu's clothes were too ordinary, and he did not show his handsome face at all!"

"That is true!"

A large group of girls watched Shiyu enter the school.

This striking feeling, Shiyu also felt differently.

When he entered the academy, he met some acquaintances.

The other party froze for a moment and looked at Shiyu in surprise, "You... Dude, what happened today? How come you feel like a different person!"

"Am I?"

"No."

Shikamaru looked at Shiyu with a look of surprise. The previous Shiyu is not like this.

Shikamaru admits that Shiyu is handsome, but the expression of helplessness between Shiyu's eyebrows could not be concealed before.

But today, Shiyu exudes a sense of self-confidence all over his body.

At the same time, Shiyu's aura also changed, as if giving off a faint sense of oppression.

Is this an illusion?

Shikamaru's own strength is much stronger than Shiyu's, how could he make himself feel oppressed.

"I also feel that today's Shiyu seems to be different!"

Chōji, who was eating potato chips beside Shikamaru, said seriously.

Shiyu rolled his eyes. "Continue eating your food Chōji!"

"Ok! You want some?"

"Thank you!" (A/N: it was pretty confusing convo between these 2. So, I changed it.)

After entering the classroom, the classmates in the same class may feel that Shiyu is different from before.

He was right. One classmate after another looked at Shiyu.

Even Sasuke couldn't help but look at Shiyu a bit more.

'This guy changed his clothes. But, why does he feel like a different person?'

"Wow! Shiyu-san's... this change seems to be cooler than Sasuke-kun today!"

"Such charming eyes. I think I'm falling in love!"

As Shiyu's old desk mate, Ino, saw him, her mouth has not closed since she saw him.

Ino's mouth was so far opened, that is seemed like she could swallow a dozen eggs.

Shiyu sat down calmly and turned his head and glanced at Ino. "What's the matter? You do not know me anymore?"

Ino usually has a good relationship with Shiyu, and she often secretly peeks at him throughout the day.

But today, Ino blushed when Shiyu glanced at her.

She is not Hinata. Therefore, she does not have her shy personality and stutter. But today, she seems to be a bit out of control with her speech.

"I...I...I didn't!"

"No?"

Shiyu continued to approach, and his face was even closer to that of Ino's.

"Your perfume smells different from usual!"

Shiyu said lightly, and then looked at Ino who was so nervous that her heart beat faster.

Shiyu is very satisfied with the effect he has on her.

"Yes...it is!"

"As long as Shiyu-kun likes it!"

"Hmm! I really like it!"

"Really...really?"

Both Shikamaru and Chōji looked at Shiyu and Ino who were sitting in front of them.

 "Shikamaru, I feel like Ino can't talk anymore. She is stuttering!" Choji said.

Shikamaru rolled his eyes, "Of course! It is because today's Shiyu is too lethal!"

"Lethal? How is he lethal?"

"Ah! You don't need to know. You probably will never understand this! It's to troublesome!"

While Ino was stuttering and whispering to Shiyu.

Naruto, pretending to be cool with his mouth raised and a swagger in his steps, walked past Shiyu, and then turned back towards him.

Naruto grabbed Shiyu's shoulders so that Shiyu is facing towards him.

Ino was speechless. Her and Shiyu were talking. Where did Naruto come from and what is he about to do?

"Shiyu! Have you had plastic surgery?"

Shiyu looked at Naruto calmly.

"What do you think?"

Shiyu usually has a good relationship with Naruto, therefore, Naruto can talk to him so freely.

Naruto looked at Shiyu in surprise. "Why does it feel like you are more handsome than before?! Damn it!"

"It's okay to have Sasuke, but you seem to be more handsome than Sasuke. So isn't Sakura-chan going to..."

Looking at Sakura who is also peeking at Shiyu, Naruto feels that there is one more rival in love now.

Sasuke looked at Naruto unhappily. A rival in love? Why would he focus on these idiots?! How dare this guy use such words to describe himself!

At this moment, Iruka walked in. He waved towards Naruto, "Go back to your seat so I can start class!"

As he spoke, he also noticed Shiyu. Iruka was also surprised by Shiyu's change. But it didn't go too far like Naruto and the others.

He just glanced at Shiyu differently.

"Shiyu, you seem to be different today!"

Shiyu smiled "The real change, Iruka-sensei, you will know later!"

"Is that so? You seem confident. That is what a shinobi should be like. If you don't even believe in yourself, how can you perform the task well!"

"Okay, let's start class!"

The class for the day is soon over.

Class time was a kind of enjoyment for Shiyu before, but now, it is a kind of torment.

There is no way to refresh the skill status. He can only stare at the passive skill bar and run the skill over and over again.

The only interesting thing to do is to tease Ino, who is sat at the same table as him.

Unlike the cool tempered Ino before, now she remains flustered from beginning to the end of class. It is very interesting that the top of her head is almost steaming. (A/N: too flustered, for those that didn't know.)

After finally getting out of class, Shiyu said good-bye to Ino, Shikamaru and the other Rookie Nine, and ran away in a hurry.

Going home to update the skill status is the most important thing for Shiyu right now.

But Shiyu was destined to not get his way. After reaching his home, there was a knock on the door, right after he entered.

"Who is it?"

"Shiyu, are you home? It's me! Uncle is here to see you!"

Uncle Masano?!
