The Zoldycks' Tenderness × The Theory of Causality
A mistake... This is an almost unheard-of word in the Zoldyck, known as the "world's number one assassin family".
Either eliminate the assassination target, or turn around and deal with the employer; in short... the mission absolutely cannot fail, but... Young Master, is this even considered a mission?
Tsubone was slightly taken aback, somewhat incredulous. At least, in the old steward's opinion, Roy at this age was definitely not weak, or even stronger than Lord Zeno and Lord Silva of the same age.
The old butler pushed up his glasses, his two pink ponytails swaying behind his head as he looked at the father and son, one standing and one lying down, both silent... He had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
"I killed them, but it didn't feel real." Roy lay in his rocking chair, watching the Great Sun sink behind the mountain peaks outside the window, recalling the battle just now... Guzman, Otsuka Yu, and two other people present had all turned into puppets. For a moment, he wondered if the person behind all this was... someone from the original story who had joined the Phantom Troupe and was later killed by Hisoka.
[God Puppeteer] and "Eye Collector" Omokage!
Both are known for their "dolls" and can use "dolls" to steal the Nen Ability of others for their own use, but the difference is... he's not as strong!
The [Eyes of Truth] can see through illusions... The [Heart Worm] can spy on the thoughts of others... Roy knew very well that the person he was fighting was indeed [Mental Morphine] Guzman, but at the very moment he was about to kill him with a single blow... he was "switched" along with Da Xiong and the couple!
"Should I make a move?" After a long pause, Silva finally spoke.
He turned his head to look at Roy, Sun-Earring Boy had stood up and seemed to have grown taller in the time he hadn't seen him; he was almost up to his nose. He added, "No charge."
Roy laughed, a genuine, hearty laugh. He didn't speak, but simply stepped forward, opened his not-so-broad arms, and embraced Silva... just as he had embraced him in his dream. He patted Silva's back and said, "I can manage."
"If it really doesn't work, we'll talk to Father then."
Silva's tall frame visibly stiffened. His hands, which were in his pockets, were about to be taken out when a gust of wind suddenly blew by... When he looked up again... the Sun-Earring Boy had stepped out the door in a whirlwind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Silva:
For a moment, I felt a sense of loss.
"Bang!" The study door closed softly. The man turned his back, crossed his arms, and stood by the window. Suddenly, he said, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"
"I'll see who's targeting my son!"
Tsubone bowed slightly and said, "Yes!"
A cold glint flashed in the old eyes hidden behind the glasses.
"Tap... tap..." Footsteps echoed in the Zoldyck's dilapidated corridors...
After leaving his father's study, Roy strolled alone in the sunset. After walking a few steps, he saw a person around a corner not far from the study.
Illumi leaned against the wall, mimicking Silva by crossing his arms, and when he saw Silva looking at him, he said calmly, "Let me go."
I'll help you kill him!
"Who to kill?"
"That Guzman."
Can you find his true identity?
"Take your time, you'll find it eventually." Illumi looked at him stubbornly. "You don't believe me?"
Roy remained silent, merely watching him indifferently. Illumi's hand fell to his waist, reaching into his pocket to stroke the [God Spear Wood Nail], his neck stiff as he said, "I have the Wooden Nail you gave me."
"Then what?"
Have you learned how to make a circle?
[Jian] Have you learned it?
Have you mastered the Breathing Style?
"No..." Illumi said weakly.
Roy flicked his finger and gave him a light tap on the forehead. "What are you standing there for? Go practice!"
Illumi lowered his head and said in a voice barely above a whisper, "Yes..."
He lifted his foot again and walked silently toward the practice room.
The wind blew through the Sun-Earring Boy's long, straight black hair, the ends swaying... Roy stopped in his tracks, watching him leave, his thoughts swirling as he watched the sunset, and gently exhaled.
The world is full of wonders, and the world of Nen Ability is bizarre and fantastical. It certainly taught him a lesson.
Although my father didn't say anything, the fact remains that he didn't actually kill Guzman, and this is something I should be wary of!
The Sun-Earring Boy watched quietly as Illumi left, disappearing around the corner, before finally asking, "Grandpa, aren't you tired of always spying?"
In a corner where the sunlight couldn't reach, a head of white hair swaggered out from the shadows, the words "One Kill A Day, Active Service for Life" prominently displayed on his chest. Zeno walked over with his hands behind his back, stood beside the Sun-Earring Boy, and looked out the window at the setting sun. He said in a deep voice, "Your great-grandfather said he wants to eat your cooking tonight."
I didn't prepare any ingredients.
He's prepared everything for you.
Roy:
"You're not happy?"
How could this be...
"Hmm." Zeno reached out and pulled the Sun-Earring Boy in front of him, touching feet together to compare heights. He patted Roy's shoulder with a sigh and said, "You're all grown up now. You should be more open-minded about some things. Failing once is nothing; you'll fail many more times in the future."
"Ah?"
"Is it strange?" Zeno glanced at him and casually held up four fingers. "Your grandfather also failed four times back in the day."
Roy was stunned. Zeno pretended not to see his dazed expression and looked out the window, saying quietly, "Don't disbelieve me, your father also failed three times back then."
The old man, his back hunched, said meaningfully, "So, Roy... don't be discouraged. Failure is failure. If you beat the young one, the old one will come... If you can't do it, then let your father and I cover for you."
"If we can't,"
"Then I'll do it." A soft, hoarse voice drifted down from the dimly lit room.
The image of Maha listening to cartoons, rocking back and forth in his rocking chair, completely absorbed in his own world... seems to appear right before my eyes.
Roy snapped out of his daze, feeling a warm glow in his heart. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "I understand. We'll have a big meal tonight."
Zeno's old eyes were filled with satisfaction as he smiled, "That's how it should be."
"Hehehe..." The grandfather and grandson exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.
They passed each other again, one heading towards the kitchen, the other towards the practice room, each going their own way... After a sumptuous dinner that evening, Roy, relieved of his fatigue from going out, returned to his bedroom, went straight to the bathroom, and started adding more exercises.
They went out to rescue Razor, accompanied Jin on a trip to the bottom of the sea, and during this time they also opened the second "Gate of Cognition" - the Gate of Hokage.
Roy opened the panel and saw a series of [Believer] and [Believer] continuously providing him with "Power of Faith".
Note: [Power of Faith: 45 points]
[Life Energy: 70 points]
He turned on the shower and let the water pour down.
As always, I mentally prepared myself a few seconds in advance, and endured the pain... I put all my "Life Energy" into my "physical condition".
[Note: "Life Energy" has been depleted]
[Physical Fitness: 877.5 → 944.5 (Note: Average person's score is 1)]
[Manifested Aura: C(40517/100000)→C+(51420/100000) (Note: Rating is based on Chimera Ant)]
[Potential Aura: C+(67157/100000)→C+(87841/100000)]
[Rating: C+ (Note: Peak Chimera Ant Squadron Leader level)]
The familiar, excruciating pain arrived as expected; cell division accelerated, bone density increased, muscle fibers tore and reorganized, thickening and growing... finally accompanied by a "thump" from the heart.
A muffled thud...
Roy stumbled, his index finger digging into the wall, leaving ten deep finger marks on the spot.
"Whew~" One second, two seconds, ten seconds, one minute... About a minute and a half later, the excruciating pain subsided...
The Sun-Earring Boy exhaled a breath of stale air, then looked at the [Power of Faith] and, without hesitation, added it all to the "Nen Ability Nature Transformation" section...
[Note: "Power of Faith" has been depleted]
[Nen Ability Nature +45]
[Nen Ability Nature Transformation: Yang: 1v4 (42416/100000) → lv4 (43515/100000)]
Yin: lv2(743/1000)→lv3(142/10000)
Fire: Iv3(3451/10000)→lv3(6471/10000)
Water: Level 3 (1450/10000) → Level 3 (2474/10000)
Wind: Level 1 (94/100) → Level 2 (547/1000)
Earth: lv2(457/1000)→lv2(987/1000)
Note: The amount of [Power of Faith] provided depends on the importance of the [Believer].
The stronger the "Believer," the more points they provide.
The greater the "cause and effect" involved in a "Believer's " actions, the more points are awarded.
vice versa.
The notification sound on the panel rang. Roy washed the grime off his body with the rain and focused on the word "cause and effect." The so-called "cause and effect" must refer to those important people who can change the course of the world.
Demon Slayer is to Ubuyashiki and the Nine Pillars, just as Hunter x Hunter is to Zoldyck, King, Netero, Byondo, Beyond Pariston.
The Hokage is... Third Hokage Sannin, Danzo, the various bloodline limit clans, and the Uchiha!
Among the Uchiha, Shisui, Itachi, and... Uchiha Obito!
"Nii-san... wake up... Obito here to find you."
