At first, Gon Freecss did not understand why Uchiha Hiko was making him do this. By the end, he discovered that hauling fish was truly no easy task.
The fish Uchiha Hiko pulled up from the sea seemed to be getting bigger and bigger!
This depended on Gon Freecss's method of carrying the fish. It was not merely a matter of strength; it also required balance while running.
That sense of balance gradually formed a unique method of controlling his aura.
It had only been a training method Uchiha Hiko came up with on a whim, yet it taught Gon Freecss a distinctive way of fighting.
A stroke of inspiration.
The days passed one by one. Thanks to the fish Uchiha Hiko caught, Mito and the others began to prosper, and their lives improved by the day.
Then, on a stormy night, Little Beauty gathered her courage and slipped into Uchiha Hiko's room.
By then, the house was no longer the simple little cabin it had once been. Uchiha Hiko had personally gathered wood and mixed cement to build a European-style seaside villa.
Naturally, Uchiha Hiko did not reject the beauty's kindness.
The result was that the next day, the little boy barged in and was shouted out of the room.
An innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.
Afterward, Uchiha Hiko held a simple wedding for Mito. The little boy really did change how he addressed him, calling Uchiha Hiko both Uncle and Master.
It sounded utterly awkward, so Uchiha Hiko simply had him go back to calling him what he had before.
The family of four lived on Whale Island like that for a year.
One hundred... two hundred... one thousand... That was about enough.
Uchiha Hiko felt that Gon Freecss's aura had gone from stumbling like a toddler
