Hunter x Hunter: The Zoldyck Family's Legendary Item Master

“Zipo Nian, give them two punches each, so they'll remember it and know it hurts.”

"Understood, young master." Having served the Zoldyck family for so many years, he knew better than anyone how to beat someone to a pulp!

"Thump~ thump." After a few punches, the little spiders transformed into giant shrimp, curled up in excruciating pain.

"Hehe. You've taught the man a lesson and vented your anger, young man, how about we call it even?" A gentle breeze stirred up raindrops, which dripped onto the ground. The half-closed door creaked open, and two figures appeared before Sean's eyes.

"Oh~ I've been watching from the shadows for so long, I thought you weren't going to show up." Sean turned his head to look at the newcomer.

An elderly man dressed as a priest, with a cross hanging around his neck, walked unsteadily into the hall, accompanied by a veiled, slender "nun".

Upon noticing the two, Ziponian's expression tightened. He quietly approached Sean and stood beside him, whispering in his ear, "Young Master, both of these people are Nen users."

"Not just." A six-pointed star flashed deep within his right eye. Sean grinned. "I didn't expect to find two 'First Level Breakthrough' powerhouses in this abandoned land, willingly choosing to live here. Father, you and this beautiful mortician beside you are no ordinary people!"

The priest and the "nun" were both shocked when the priest revealed the "nun's" true identity!

Unexpectedly, the young man's abilities were so varied and his eyes were so sharp. He couldn't help but sigh, "God above, compared to you, young man, Lianzi and I are nothing."

The priest chuckled, glancing at the "nun" out of the corner of his eye.

The mortician, named "Lotus Seed," remained silent. Noticing Sean's bright, large eyes, she frowned for no apparent reason, thinking to herself, "Such beautiful eyes, yet they're so annoying."

At this moment, the drizzle outside the window gradually stopped, and sunlight filtered through the thin dark clouds, casting dappled patterns of light.

The spiders, including Kuroro, recovered from their pain by smelling the familiar "sacred aura" and gathered around the priest and Miss Renko.

"Children, learn from your mistakes. Remember this: you can't be hostile to outsiders all the time, nor can you blindly trust them. At least..."

The priest patted Kuroro's head: "Don't rashly fight others until you are strong enough to protect yourselves."

So, "Be grateful they spared your lives, Kuroro."

The young spider leader gritted his teeth and remained silent. After a long while, he took a deep breath, stepped forward, faced Sean, and for the first time, bent his back: "I'm sorry, I was presumptuous."

“Sean.” Salazar twisted her fingers together and looked at Sean pleadingly.

Sean gave the priest a deep look, then shrugged: "If you want to help, then help. Why are you looking at me?"

"Okay~" Upon hearing this, Sarasa's little face blossomed into a bright smile. She reached out to help Kuroro up, pouting and complaining, "I told you they weren't bad people, but you wouldn't believe me. Now that the priest has said it, do you believe me?"

"Sarasa, stop with that. I just want to ask, what's with the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and the 'Multiply Technique'?" Phinks, that blockhead, always manages to say the most inappropriate things at the most inappropriate times.

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes fixed on Sean.

Chapter 46 The Charm of "Ninja Tune" X Kuroro's Little Note

Sean glanced at Finks and chuckled, "What are you looking at me for? Do I have something on my face?"

Besides, "What? What happened?"

"Aren't 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and 'Expansion Technique' ninjutsu that you can learn just by watching 'Naruto' once?"

"You all keep calling him 'Teacher Ben' (the author of this case study), acting like you're worshipping him, but it turns out you haven't even read his works."

"If the teacher in this case knew this, she would definitely be heartbroken."

You are not allowed to tarnish my deep admiration for the teacher in this case!

"I! A devoted follower of the Master of the Case!" Phinks yelled, pulling back his disguise to reveal the four large characters "Master of the Case." Then, some of the Spider-Men pulled out homemade headbands, others drew self-sharpened shurikens, and even more outrageous was Uvogin.

This guy had two thick eyebrows stuck to his chest; it was unclear whether they were crooked from being hit or what. Upon closer inspection, Sean noticed that everyone, including Kuroro, had some elements of "Ninja Storm 4" on them—it was truly eye-opening.

"Hehe~ These kids are currently preparing for their second performance, so..." The priest smiled and extended a hand to Sean. "It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Young man, how about you do me a favor and stay as an audience member?"

Is this old man really good at playing peacemaker?

Sean didn't say anything immediately.

Nearby, Sarasa seemed to have caught a whiff of the "sign of reconciliation." Her eyes darted around, and she scrambled to her feet, tossing her two ponytails.

With great effort, he dragged out the box of packed "Naruto" manga, opened it, and facing Kuroro, Uvogin, Nobunaga, and the rest of the little spiders, he waved his arms vigorously and shouted, "Everyone! Please believe that our young master meant no harm! He specially donated one hundred copies of the latest chapter of 'Naruto' to give to us!"

"Among them are twenty specially signed copies by the teacher in charge of this case study!"

"Haha. The teacher's signature in this case?" Uvogin's eyes widened!

The pain in the back of his head had subsided, and he hooked his arm around Nobunaga's neck, struggling to wriggle forward: "Old man, give me a hand, I absolutely have to get the teacher's signature in this case!"

"Get the hell out of here! I told you not to call me an old man!" The hilt of the knife shoved into Uvogin's kidney, and Uvogin cried out in pain, watching helplessly as Nobunaga strode towards Saraza. For the first time, the man, harder than steel, felt what it meant to be weak and powerless.

"Damn Feitan, help me grab one, my leg hurts. I bumped into a pillar." Phinks grabbed Feitan.

Feitan remained silent and, even faster than Nobunaga, arrived in front of Sarassa in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Machi, the Swordsman, even the composed elder brother Franklin, and the "rational princess" Paknotan, all seemed to have forgotten the unpleasant experience of being tortured earlier and immediately rushed to "Ninja Tune".

Sean was left standing there, completely bewildered.

"Oh ho ho ho. Survival in a place like Meteor City is tough enough as it is. Forget entertainment, there aren't even any anime to watch."

“Jeg, look at Sean’s expression. He has clearly underestimated the appeal of ‘Ninja Tuna’ and has no idea what kind of impact a currently popular comic would have on these children who have lost their parents at a young age.” Netero narrowed his eyes as he watched the young spiders frantically grabbing for “Ninja Tuna” through his “surveillance glasses.”

As he said, in the original work, Uvogin Chrollo could fight to the death over a tattered cassette tape of "Cleaning Squad," let alone the most popular manga right now, "Nagano Ninja," which is far more famous than "Cleaning Squad"!

"Everyone has their own dreams and lives a wonderful life." Jugg poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "For these children, 'Ninja Tune' is the door that opened their understanding of the world. Through it, they satisfy all their yearnings for the outside world, which is also a kind of tragedy."

"Hey, isn't it pathetic?" Netero glanced at Sean in the image, smiled meaningfully, and said, "The real teacher in this case is right in front of them, and these kids don't even know it. It is indeed pathetic."

However, on the other hand, "I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of astonished expressions they'll have when they leave Meteor City and realize that Sean is actually the teacher they've always admired. Hehe~ Just thinking about it makes me excited!"

"Hehe." Jag chuckled along, thinking to himself, "That brat's got some nerve. He probably never intended to be open and reveal his identity from the start. That makes sense, though. Assassins hide themselves, conceal their identities, and keep their names hidden, avoiding the whirlpool of danger to achieve their goal."

A faint arc of electronic light flickered. Jagger adjusted the "surveillance glasses" perched on his nose. The scene shifted—

The church, little Salazar, was overrun by young spiders.

"Don't fight! Don't fight! Everyone will get some."

Sarasa's skirt was almost torn; the situation was completely out of control.

Seeing all one hundred copies of "Ninja Tune" instantly wiped out sent chills down Sean's spine.

"Ziponian, if you had brought out the comics sooner, wouldn't it have saved us a lot of trouble?"

Why the hell are you fighting? A book like "Ninja Tutorial" could have solved this, but you have to resort to fighting and killing. It seems that no matter where you are, the world of martial arts is ultimately about human relationships and social interactions.

"Young Master is wise." Zi Po nodded in deep agreement. This was the first time the old steward had ever witnessed what "fanaticism" was!

While at the butler's manor, I heard many of the younger butlers mention terms like "fans" or "fandoms." Now it seems these kids in front of me are all part of the young master's "fandom."

Ziponian involuntarily straightened his back, suddenly feeling a sense of pride.

This was a feeling she had never experienced with Zeno or Silva.

But in that case, "it's not easy for the young master to refuse to be a spectator."

“Yeah, it’s always hard to resist the enthusiasm of fans.” Sean put his hands in his pockets, glanced at the priest, and raised an eyebrow. “As an audience member, do you get free food?”

"God above, Father, I'm not afraid to admit it, but I'm quite picky about food~"

Father Rouye visibly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes narrowing as he smiled: "If we neglect our guests, the Lord will punish us."

"Young man, I am Cooper Jeffrey, representing the Meteor Street Church. Welcome to our church."

"Kuroro, I'm leaving the rehearsals to you. Don't let our guests down."

"Yes." Kuroro was the only kid who didn't try to steal "Ninja Tune" after excluding all the other Spider-Men. He was about the same age as Sean, and his calm eyes always seemed exceptionally mature.

He gave Sean a deep look, stepped in front of him, and gestured for him to enter.

"Hmm," Sean nodded noncommittally, and walked straight past Ziponian with him. As their figures crossed, a note silently fell into Sean's hand.

I wish you all a Happy New Year!

In good health!

Good luck!

Chapter 47 Nen Ability Training X Epic Meeting

"See you at the Clock Tower at 8 PM tonight."

Kuroro led the little spiders down to rehearse. According to the priest, the upcoming performance was the first major climax of "Naruto" in a true sense—the Chunin Exams.

Considering the thick eyebrows glued to Uvogin's chest, Sean found it hard to imagine what he would look like as Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Young master, this church is no ordinary place." As evening approached, a touch of sunset red appeared on the horizon.

Having enjoyed a free, sumptuous dinner, Ziponian followed Sean toward the room the priest had arranged for him to rest in.

In the aisle, Sean opened the note, glanced at it, and crushed it into scraps with his fingers: "A church that can stand in a place like this must be extraordinary."

"That goes without saying. What interests me is that woman's 'thought'."

"That 'Miss Lotus Seed'?" Pushing open the door and closing it behind her, Zi Po Nian narrowed her eyes. A powerful surge of "spiritual" energy erupted from her, instantly spreading outwards and covering the entire room in the blink of an eye.

"【round】?"

Let the "qi" expand outward from itself as the center, and capture people or things that rely on the "qi" to maintain their form.

This is an advanced application technique of Nen ability derived from the four elements of [Entanglement] and [Training].

Sean leaned against the window frame, observing Ziponian's "circle" with great interest. The pink-haired silverback gorilla was unassuming, but judging from the size of the "circle," its radius exceeded ten meters, easily...

Zi Po Nian nodded, carefully checked the room, and found nothing unusual. He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and then said, "To be honest, young master, I also noticed that woman."

"For a moment, the way she looked at the young master was very strange."

"Maybe she just dislikes people with big eyes," Sean chuckled. He remembered that in the original story, Machi was criticized by Lianzi to her face because of her big eyes, so ultimately it was just jealousy from a woman with small eyes.

"What does 'young master' mean?"

“Her color is wrong.” Sean condensed a ball of “thought” at his fingertips and said in a deep voice, “Normal people, including you and me, have ‘thought’ that is mainly milky white, but Lotus Seed is different. The light spots through her body are green.”

The old thing's "nian" line is golden.

"Well, there's nothing surprising about that," Zipanian said casually. "That woman's Nen ability has already exceeded its limits."

"The green that the young master sees is her own unique understanding and transformation incorporated into her 'thoughts'."

"Didn't you say she was an embalmer? Perhaps it's related to her profession."

"Nen ability has broken through its limits?" Sean's eyes flickered, and he looked at Ziponian with interest, saying, "Tell me in detail."
