"Shigure-kun! Bye! Make sure you co early tomorrow!"
Ino waved cheerfully as she saw Shigure off.
Shigure gave her a small nod in return.
Finally—Friday!
Ever since developing Boil Release, Shigure had spent the past few days taking it easy.
He went to class like a model student and focused on steadily increasing his chakra reserves.
His passive skill bar remained unchanged: Chakra Refinent, Kenjutsu, and Genjutsu.
Every evening after school, he would go ho and train in chakra refinent, constantly updating the technique to maintain efficiency.
After all, as his chakra capacity increased, keeping that growth rate stable beca harder.
On his walk ho, Shigure sighed softly to himself.
"I should be practicing elental jutsu and kekkei genkai tomorrow…"
"But Ino's so excited about this. How could I turn down a girl's invitation?"
He smiled wryly.
Ino had been acting noticeably more enthusiastic toward him lately.
Actually, a lot of girls had.
Which only made Ino feel even more threatened, leading her to invite him to her house on Saturday.
Her excuse?
"My dog can hula hoop, Shigure-kun! Want to co see?"
Shigure had to admit—it made him laugh.
Dog or not, if anyone could hula hoop, it was probably Ino herself.
Coincidentally, Shigure had also been planning to go out tomorrow to visit a ninja tool shop.
He needed to commission a custom sword.
Though he'd been diligently training in swordsmanship, combining it with Boil Release had produced incredible power—so much so that his basic ninja blade had already begun to crack just from practice.
The explosive force behind his Boil-infused strikes was simply too much for a standard weapon to handle.
A customized, high-grade sword was now a necessity.
Once he got ho, Shigure took a short break before starting on dinner.
After eating, he prepared to update his chakra refinent technique, as usual.
His chakra had grown significantly over the past few days.
At this point, he could honestly say—even a chakra monster like Naruto, born with the absurd vitality of the Uzumaki clan, might not have more than him.
Naruto's chakra was largely tied up suppressing the Nine-Tails.
Shigure didn't have that problem.
So in terms of usable chakra, he might actually surpass Naruto.
"Tomorrow... maybe it's ti to start developing the Rasengan."
After all, every transmigrator worth their salt knew how to do it. It'd be a waste not to.
"If possible, I need to get the Shadow Clone Technique and Body Flicker from Gekkō Hayate soon!"
Shadow Clones were practically a cheat code, even if they might not be the most efficient for him.
Still worth a shot.
But more importantly—Body Flicker.
Speed was a ga-changer in any world.
"I wonder what mission Hayate's on… Haven't seen him in days."
It wasn't unusual for jonin to be out on missions, but Hayate's absence had gone on longer than expected.
Clearly, this assignnt wasn't so quick errand near the village. It must be far away or high-level.
Later, Shigure stood in front of his mirror.
His abs were clearly defined now, and his body had beco leaner and more proportional.
He'd even grown two centiters in the past week.
Rapid growth wasn't uncommon for children his age, but this rate was still shocking.
Thanks to the passive effects of the Konoha-style kenjutsu, not only had his swordsmanship improved, but his physique had as well—albeit gradually.
But even gradual gains added up.
His ntal strength had also seen a sharp boost.
And the best part?
His chakra refinent ti had dropped from five minutes to four.
If things kept progressing like this, maybe one day… it would reach zero.
At that point, he would have truly infinite chakra.
With today's gains in both physical and ntal strength, Shigure didn't want to waste ti.
He needed to update his chakra refinent technique again.
Even if the returns diminished with each update, not updating it would slow down his growth.
Ti to begin another round of chakra refinent.
[Great Sage: Calculation ability restored by 20%. Capable of assisting the host with skill update computations.]
The sudden system prompt made Shigure freeze for a mont.
His eyes snapped open, locking onto the translucent screen now floating in front of him.
"You..."
He blinked in disbelief, staring again at the skill interface.
The na of the skill—
Great Sage!
That's right.
Not "Great Wise Man
