Missed... This is a word almost impossible to hear in the Zoldyck family, renowned worldwide as the "World's Number One Assassin Family."
Either eliminate the assassination target, or turn around and eliminate the employer. In short... a mission must never fail. But... did the Young Master's action count as a mission?
Tsubone was slightly stunned, sowhat in disbelief. At least, in the old butler's eyes, Roy at this age was definitely not weak, or even... stronger than Master Zeno and Master Silva at the sa age.
The old butler pushed up the glasses resting on her nose. As the two pink ponytails behind her head swung, she looked at the father and son, one standing and one lying down, both silent... She faintly felt that things were not simple...
"I killed the person, but it didn't feel real." Roy lay on the rocking chair, watching the great sun fall towards the mountain peak outside the window, recalling the battle just now... Guzman, Ohtsuka Yu, and the two n and won at the scene had successively turned into rag dolls. For a mont, it made him wonder if the person behind the scenes manipulating all this was the one from the original story... who once joined the Phantom Troupe and was later killed by Hisoka—
[Divine Puppeteer] and "Eye Collector", Omokage!
Equally famous for "puppets," and equally able to deprive the opponent's Nen ability for his own use through "puppets." The difference was... he wasn't that strong!
[Eye of Revelation] could see through illusions... [Heart Worm] could pry into others' inner voices... Roy knew very well that the person he fought was indeed [ntal Morphine] Guzman. It was just that, at the very mont he was about to kill him with a slash... he, along with Ohtsuka Yu and that pair of man and woman, were "swapped" by soone!
"Do you want to step in?" After a long while, Silva spoke faintly.
He tilted his head to look at Roy. The boy stood up. Having not seen him for a while, he seed to have grown taller again, almost reaching the tip of his nose. Silva added, "No charge."
Roy smiled, smiling very happily. He didn't speak, just took a step forward, opened his not-so-broad arms, and hugged Silva... just as he had hugged himself in the dream. Pat pat~ He patted his back and said, "I can still handle it."
"If it really doesn't work out, I'll tell Father then."
Silva's tall body visibly stiffened. Both hands were in his pockets. Just as he was about to take them out, a sudden gust of wind blew... Looking up again... the boy stepped on a whirlwind and went out the door, disappearing in the blink of an eye...
Silva: "..." For a mont, he felt a sense of loss.
Bang~ The study door was gently closed. The man turned his back, arms crossed over his chest, standing in front of the window, and suddenly said, "Investigate, investigate this thoroughly for !"
"I want to see who is targeting my son!"
Tsubone bowed slightly: "Yes!"
The old eyes hidden under the glasses flashed with a cold glint.
Tap... tap... Footsteps sounded in the mottled corridors of the Zoldyck family...
Leaving his father's study, Roy strolled alone under the setting sun. After a few steps, he saw a person at a corner not far from the study.
Illumi leaned against the wall, imitating Silva with his arms crossed over his chest. Seeing him look over, he said faintly, "Let go."
"I will help you kill him!"
"Kill who?"
"That Guzman."
"Can you find his true body?"
"Look slowly, I'll find it eventually." Illumi looked over stubbornly: "You don't believe ?"
Roy remained silent, just looking at him faintly. Illumi dropped one hand to his waist, reaching into his pocket to stroke the [Shinso Wooden Nail], and said stiffly, "I have the wooden nail you gave ."
"And then?"
"Have you learned [En]?"
"Have you learned [Ken]?"
"Have you mastered [Breathing Style]?"
"No..." Illumi said weakly.
Roy flicked a finger, giving him a flick on the forehead. "Then what are you standing there for, why aren't you going to practice?"
Illumi lowered his head, his voice as quiet as a mosquito: "Yes..."
Lifting his feet again, he walked silently towards the training room.
The wind blew the boy's long, straight black hair, the ends swaying... Roy stopped, watching him leave. As his thoughts churned, he looked at the setting sun and gently exhaled.
The vast world is full of wonders. The world of Nen abilities is bizarre and grotesque. It finally taught him a lesson.
Although Father didn't say anything, the fact remained that he didn't truly kill that Guzman. This point was worth his vigilance!
The young boy quietly watched Illumi leave until he disappeared around the corner, then said, "Grandpa, don't you get tired of always peeking?"
In a corner where the sunlight couldn't reach, the darkness squird, revealing a head of swaying white hair. The eight large characters "One Kill a Day, Active for Life" on his chest were displayed. Zeno walked over with his hands behind his back, standing shoulder to shoulder with the boy, watching the setting sun outside the window, and said in a muffled voice, "Your Great-Grandfather said he wants to eat the food you cook tonight."
"I didn't prepare the ingredients."
"He has already prepared them for you."
Roy: "..."
"Are you unwilling?"
"How could I..."
"Mm." Zeno reached out and pulled the boy in front of him, foot to foot, comparing their heights. He patted Roy's shoulder with so emotion and said, "You are older now. You should be more open-minded about so things. Failing once is nothing; you will fail more tis in the future."
"Huh?"
"Is it strange?" Zeno glanced at him and faintly held up four fingers: "Your Grandpa also failed four tis back in the day."
Roy was stunned. Zeno pretended not to see his dumbfounded look, gazing faintly out the window. "Don't disbelieve it, your father also failed three tis back then..."
The old man hunched his back and said aningfully, "So, Roy... don't be discouraged. A failure is a failure. Beat the young ones, the old ones will co... If you can't handle it, let and your father back you up."
"If we can't,"
"Then I will do it." A faint, light, hoarse voice drifted over, coming from that dim little room.
Maha listening to cartoons, rocking in his rocking chair, enjoying himself... seed to appear right before his eyes.
Roy ca back to his senses, his heart warm. Rolling up his sleeves, he said, "I know. We're having a big feast tonight."
Zeno's old eyes were full of gratification, and he smiled: "That's how it should be."
"Heh heh heh..." The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled.
Passing each other, one went to the kitchen, the other to the training room, going their respective ways... At night, after eating a hearty feast, Roy shook off the exhaustion of going out, returned to his bedroom, dove into the bathroom, and started adding points.
Going out to rescue Razor, accompanying Ging to the bottom of the sea, and during this period, opening the second "Gate of Cognition"—the Naruto Gate.
Roy opened the panel and saw a series of [Believers] and [Potential Believers] continuously providing him with "Faith Power"...
Note, [Faith Power: 45 points]
[Life Energy: 70 points]
He turned on the shower, letting the water pour down from the showerhead...
As usual, he spent a few seconds ntally preparing himself, and enduring the pain... he added all the "Life Energy" to "Physique".
[Prompt: "Life Energy" has been emptied]
[Physique: 877.5 -> 944.5 (Note: Normal human is 1)]
[Manifested Aura Volu: C (40517/100000) -> C (51420/100000) (Note: Rating is based on Chira Ants as a reference)]
[Potential Aura Volu: C (67157/100000) -> C (87841/100000)]
[Evaluation: C (Note: Peak Chira Ant Squadron Leader level)]
The familiar severe pain arrived as expected. Cell division accelerated, bone density increased, muscle fibers tore and reorganized, becoming thicker and thicker... Finally, accompanied by a muffled sound of the heart, Thump~...
A muffled sound...
Roy stumbled, his fingers digging into the wall, leaving ten deep finger marks on the spot.
Phew~ One second, two seconds, ten seconds, one minute... After about a minute and a half, the severe pain faded away...
The boy opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of turbid air. He then looked at the [Faith Power] and, without hesitation, added all of it to the "Nen Ability Property Change" column...
[Prompt: "Faith Power" has been emptied]
["Nen Ability Property" 45]
[Nen Ability Property Change: Yang: Lv4 (42416/100000) -> Lv4 (43515/100000)
Yin: Lv2 (743/1000) -> Lv3 (142/10000)
Fire: Lv3 (3451/10000) -> Lv3 (6471/10000)
Water: Lv3 (1450/10000) -> Lv3 (2474/10000)
Wind: Lv1 (94/100) -> Lv2 (547/1000)
Earth: Lv2 (457/1000) -> Lv2 (987/1000)]
[Note: The "amount" of Faith Power provided depends on the importance of the "Believer"...]
[The stronger the "Believer's" strength, the more points provided.]
[The greater the "Karma" involved with the "Believer", the more points provided.]
[Vice versa.]
The panel's prompt sound rang out. Roy used the shower to wash away the dirt on his body, taking a special look at "Karma". The so-called "Karma" referred to those important people who could change the world situation.
Demon Slayer's "Ubuyashiki" and the "Nine Hashira"; Hunter's "Zoldyck", "Ging", "Netero", "Beyond", "Pariston"...
Naruto's would be... the Third Hokage, the Sannin, Danzo, the major Kekkei Genkai families, and the Uchiha!
And among the Uchiha, it would be Shisui, Itachi, and... Obito Uchiha!
"Nii-san... Wake up... Brother Obito has co looking for you..."
