Kite's Speculation

The terrifying blade and oppressive aura coalesced into a Tatsumaki that stretched across the night sky amidst the clouds...

All the Chimera Ant present were instantly decapitated! It was too fast...

By the time I came to my senses, I had already collapsed.

"So strong!"

Killua and Gon, who were below the mountain, were deeply moved by what they saw.

This was the first time they had witnessed Kite's Nen and true power! Even though they were below the cliff and could only catch a glimpse of the scene, the overwhelming pressure emanating from her still sent shivers down their spines.

The two kids quickly leaped up, and when they got there, they saw Kite alone, holding an exaggerated scythe, surrounded by ants lying in pools of blood. The radiation from the attack had blown away the soil within a hundred meters radius, and it didn't fall back down for a long time.

After the attack, Kite's weapon shattered and transformed back into the Crazy Slots with a bang.

Seeing that Kite seemed about to put it away, the clown became very unhappy and started chattering...

It strongly suggests that Kite is using something and then discarding it.

But Kite completely ignored it and withdrew her Nen on her own.

Then, looking at Killua and Gon who had jumped over, he pointed ahead and said, "The rest are yours!"

Killua and his companion looked over and discovered that four Chimera Ant were still alive, which Kite had deliberately left behind.

The purpose is obvious: to refine them.

"Be careful, these Chimera Ant are completely different from the Soldier Ant we saw before..." After saying that, Kite crossed her arms and walked to the side to observe.

I don't intend to get involved.

Gon and Killua also got serious and moved closer to the ants.

The few ants that survived were sergeant captains under the command of the two Squadron Leader... They heard clearly what Kite said to the two human brats.

Realizing the white-haired man's terrifying strength, they knew that running away was futile.

The only way to survive is to kill the two human imps.

Just deal with it for now...

Their expressions showed that they didn't take Gon and Killua seriously.

Meanwhile, Kite turned her gaze away from the boy and fixed it on the two dead Chimera Ant Squadron Leader.

His expression darkened.

A bad thought arises in my mind.

What is he going to do?

The area left behind by Oboro was clearly intended to provide the ants with a hunting route, and also to lure members of the Association deeper into the territory for investigation. However, Oboro himself didn't report this to the Association, but instead used someone else's words... Judging from the current situation, Oboro and his team stayed in NGL for a long time, not just as Menchi claimed, when they first arrived and noticed the Chimera Ant. It seems more like... a premeditated plan, deliberately letting members of the Association be captured by the ants... thereby awakening their Nen.

Of course, this is just Kite's guess.

He wasn't quite sure... because his understanding of Oboro came entirely from Ging Freecss.

He himself had never met Longmeng.

What he couldn't understand was why Oboro would do this? What benefit would it bring to the Chimera Ant by making them more dangerous? Oboro was also Hunter x Hunter; he should have stood on the side of humans!

"For the president?"

Kite frowned.

I had a feeling that I had fallen into a trap.

The situation was more complicated than he and Jin had imagined... This matter had to be communicated to the Association immediately, but they were currently in NGL and unable to contact the outside world, so the mission had to be the priority.

"I'm no match for him..."

Kite, being quite self-aware, looked up and adjusted her hat, her expression serious.

Even his teacher found Long to be quite troublesome.

Not to mention him...

The threat of death he faces is probably not just from ants, but also from Oboro's schemes... If his thoughts are correct, it also shows that Ging Freecss's judgment of Oboro is very accurate, and the Association must be wary of this person.

"Should we tell them both..."

Kite glanced at Killua and Gon, who were engaged in a fierce one-on-one battle with the ants, and ultimately gave up the idea.

When he made this guess, it meant that Oboro would not let him leave alive and would pass on the message... Telling Killua and Gon was like giving the two children a bomb, and Gon seemed to have special feelings for Oboro.

Most importantly, this could be a power struggle within the Association, and involving two teenagers in it... is not a good idea.

The main problem is that the opponent is Oboro, and Gon and Killua are simply not capable of dealing with him.

What he thinks of, Oboro will also think of.

With this thought in mind, Kite looked around and gazed at the wilderness under the night sky.

It seems... to be looking for something.

"No wonder he is his disciple."

Below the cliff, in the forest that Kite and her two companions had just passed through, Oboro leaned against a tree trunk and smiled slightly.

He had been hiding along this specific route, waiting for Kite and her two companions to arrive.

And it remained hidden in the shadows, undiscovered.

They were observing their every move.

Anthony and Fante were not allowed to follow because, given Kite's abilities, even if Anthony and Fante were well hidden, they could still be discovered.

Although they were some distance apart, Oboro, with her keen sense of aura, knew that Kate had become suspicious of her after noticing a slight change in Kite's aura.

For the first time since she appeared, Kite's steady breathing faltered.

Even when two Squadron Leader appeared with a swarm of ants, Kite remained extremely calm.

A person's temperament is closely related to their inner state.

"What a pity... Perhaps this is your inescapable fate..."

He murmured softly.

Soon, Kite's round-robin refereeing session came to an end.

Gon and Killua defeated four captains... Although they looked tired and were injured, they still won.

This greatly excited the two kids.

Kite, unusually, praised the two of them, while also pointing out their shortcomings in the fight.

"Let's go."

Then, he continued to lead them forward.

"If we turn back now, we'll probably encounter even greater dangers... If we're wrong, going back will just be a waste of time, giving the ants a chance to react. If we're right, even though Oboro won't show himself, he'll definitely have a way to keep us from getting out... So, the only way forward is to go."

"This is a dead end..."

Kite thought.

"Mr. Kite, what's wrong?"

It has to be said that Gon's keen perception is sometimes truly amazing... Even Killua didn't notice, but Gon noticed that Kite seemed to have suddenly become a little absent-minded.

"It's nothing... I was just wondering what class those ants belonged to in the ant colony, and whether there were anything more powerful than them."

Kite made up a pretext on the spot.

"Oh..."

Gon responded.

Then he smiled and said, "Mr. Kite is so capable! I believe you will complete the mission successfully."

"Um."

Kite nodded to him.

At this point, there's no need to dampen the children's enthusiasm.

"Has Oboro... already left?"

Killua interjected.

He and Gon had heard what the ants had just said.

"Hmm... I think so."

Gon chimed in.

"Tch! He has absolutely no sense of responsibility as Hunter x Hunter... He's already gone to such lengths..." Killua.

Perhaps... there are more important things to do...

Gon.
