Eren in Shock – Who Are You, Little Brother!?
After a long bath, Satoru stepped out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed and energized.
But the moment Eren saw him—he froze in place!
He instinctively covered his nose, his face scrunched up in disgust.
"Little brother! Are you sure you actually washed up!?"
Eren took two steps back, looking at Satoru with deep suspicion.
"Did you… did you mess up in there!? Or did your digestive system finally collapse after eating too much!?"
Satoru's face turned as black as the bottom of a burnt pot. A vein throbbed on his forehead.
"Big brother, has your mind finally snapped!? Since when do you talk this much!?"
Eren was about to curse him even more, but then—he suddenly widened his eyes in pure shock as he took a good look at Satoru.
He stared up, then down, then up again…
"Hey… hey hey hey! Little brother!"
"Are you really my little brother!?"
"Who are you, and what have you done with the real Satoru!? My little brother always had a shameless, brazen face! But now… you look like a refined celestial being!?"
Satoru sighed helplessly, realizing the terrifying effects of that damn elixir.
He begrudgingly explained everything about the **Nine-Turn Celestial Pill**, from its benefits like chakra enhancement and unlocking the **Governing Vessel**, to its absurd side effects like **+500 years of lifespan, increased handsomeness, and irresistible charm to women.**
Eren fell silent.
But in his mind—
*"First, he smelled so bad that I almost puked. Then, he walked out of that bath looking like a celestial prince. This extreme contrast… My brain can't keep up!"*
He felt like his mind had just been slapped back and forth repeatedly.

**Eren Demands the Pill – Satoru Pulls a Fast One!**
After recovering from the shock, Eren calmly stretched out his hand.
"Little brother, hand it over."
Satoru blinked. A giant question mark appeared above his head.
"Hand what over, big brother?"
Eren didn't move, his hand still extended.
His eyes gleamed with a dangerous light, but his voice was unnervingly calm:
"Little brother… don't mess with me."
Satoru took a step back, feigning innocence.
"Big brother, just say what you want. We're family, after all."
Eren's eyes twitched.
"Family, my ass! You had a Celestial Pill and didn't share!?"
"I thought we were brothers!"
Satoru burst out laughing shamelessly.
"Big brother, calm down! There will be a next time!"
"NEXT TIME MY ASS!?"

**Village Chaos – Satoru Becomes a Sensation!**
The next morning, Satoru headed toward the Hokage's office.
With hands in his pockets, he whistled a carefree tune, feeling on top of the world.
Eren walked behind him, expressionlessly as if he had completely given up on life.
But today… something felt off.
As they walked through the village, people stopped whatever they were doing and turned to stare at Satoru.
**Young women:** "AAAAAH! Who is that!?"
**Housewives:** "He looks like a celestial being descended to the mortal world!"
**Old men:** "Must be a new genius in the village!"
Even in front of Ichiraku Ramen, several female shinobi dropped their chopsticks, gawking at Satoru as he passed by.
Satoru looked up at the sky, sighing in frustration.
*"Sigh… Being too handsome is also a burden!"*
He had been a shut-in otaku in his past life, spending 24/7 indoors. Now, being stared at like this made him want to immediately master **Earth Style: Head Burial Jutsu** to hide from the world.
But…
Something was off.
Yes, he was incredibly good-looking now. His facial features were refined, his aura exuded the grace of a celestial swordsman, and his posture was effortlessly elegant.
But…
There was just something that *didn't* fit.
Yes, he was handsome.
Yes, his posture was refined.
But…
His **shameless grin, hands-in-pocket strut, and cocky attitude completely ruined the perfect image!**
Every man in Konoha who saw him had the urge to punch his face!
Every woman felt a mix of admiration and frustration—how could someone with such celestial looks **act like such a smug bastard!?**
Eren, watching from the side, thought to himself:
*"If my little brother gets beaten up… I'll pretend I don't know him."*
After thinking for a moment, Eren added:
*"Actually… if possible, I might even throw in a few punches myself."*

**Meeting Hokage – A Surprise Promotion!**
When they finally arrived at the Hokage's office, Hiruzen nearly choked on his pipe.
"Satoru… why do you look so different!?"
Satoru casually waved his hand.
"Just a small breakthrough in training, unlocked some meridians, and uh… I guess I got more handsome."
Hiruzen stroked his beard, feeling a hint of jealousy.
"Strange… I've trained with chakra for decades, yet I never experienced a side effect like 'becoming more handsome'…"
Eren stood beside him, coldly thinking:
*"My little brother is truly shameless."*
After reporting his two-month training plan with Jiraiya, Hiruzen nodded in approval.
But then—
Hiruzen suddenly smiled and placed a file on his desk.
"By the way, Satoru, I have some good news for you."
Satoru tilted his head.
"What is it?"
Hiruzen's smile widened.
"As of today, you have officially been promoted to **Jonin – Elite Ninja of Konoha.**"
Satoru: **"Huh!??"**
Hiruzen continued:
"Your salary will be tripled. Plus, you'll earn extra for every mission."
Satoru: **"Triple salary!?"**
His eyes sparkled like a man who just won the lottery.
He immediately bowed deeply, grinning shamelessly.
"Thank you, Lord Hokage! I have always seen you as a grandfather figure! My real grandpa was just as kind and generous as you!"
The system: **"Satoru… you are truly something else."**
Hiruzen chuckled kindly.
"Also, we will announce this promotion in the Konoha Shinobi Gazette and notify the allied villages."
Satoru stiffened.
He cursed internally.
*"Oh no! If this news spreads, I'll become a prime target for every dark force out there!"*
*"Every genius who gets too famous ends up being hunted! Now I'm just a giant walking jackpot for bounty hunters!"*
He suddenly wanted to run outside and scream:
**"I'M NOT READY TO BE HUNTED YET!!!"**
