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

Unless it's something important, given Zeno's nature, he would never come looking for him. The grandfather and grandson both knew this perfectly well.

“Nothing can be hidden from Grandpa.” Zeno hunched over and said in a deep voice, “Little Killua will be three years old after the New Year. I’ve come to discuss his future training plan with Grandpa.”

After all, he has silver hair and is the designated next head of the Zoldyck family.

The training of Killua definitely needs to be reported to the old man.

"Is that all?" Maha rocked back and forth in his rocking chair, saying impatiently, "You can decide for yourself."

"I'll decide for myself?" Zeno frowned. "It's not impossible, but..."

Old man, is it really okay for you to be so perfunctory?

Zeno was greatly surprised and was about to ask another question when a snoring sound came from behind him. Maha had fallen asleep at some point.

Helpless, Zeno could only gently close the door and turn to leave.

"Squeak~" The door closed, but at that moment, a voice drifted out through the crack in the door.

Jienu stopped in his tracks, listened intently, and was immediately startled!

"Times are changing, Zeno~"

"The Zoldyck family's legacy won't necessarily be all silver-haired in the future."

"Six thousand, seven thousand, eight thousand, ten thousand!"

From sunrise to sunset, midnight has passed. Ten thousand "gratitude push-ups" are complete.

Sean lay down on the spot, collapsing into a puddle of flesh.

I'm so tired. My arms are so sore and numb. It got more and more agonizing towards the end.

Thankfully, I gritted my teeth and persevered until I finished, and I successfully received a notification from the "wise man," which confirmed the feasibility of the "gratitude push-ups."

The only drawback is the timing.

"How long did it take me to become a 'sage'?"

[20 hours.]

"Two hours slower than Niterlo."

Come to think of it, the opponent was the strongest human being, with top-tier talent, and was already forty years old when he comprehended the "Grateful Fist".

Looking at myself, it's already quite an achievement that I've managed to complete my first "Wanben Suzhen" at this age.

Sean calmed himself down, then immediately ripped off his blindfold, mask, and earplugs, breathing heavily. His eyes darted around, and Silva and Illumi were no longer in the training room.

"Master took Young Master Illumi to take a medicinal bath."

"Tell me to wait here."

Medicated bath? Real man play?

With Illumi's fair skin, it must feel so smooth and soft that even his father couldn't resist touching it?

Sean glanced at the sycamore tree.

The young housekeeper cat seemed to have been waiting in the corner for a long time.

Seeing Sean looking over, he brought over a bowl of chicken soup and said, "Young Master, this is freshly made chicken soup. Drink it while it's hot."

After the strenuous exercise, Sean was already starving and naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony with him.

He took the huge bowl, which was bigger than his head, and gulped it down.

It's fresh, fragrant, tender, and smooth to the taste, with a unique aroma of many medicinal herbs. Clearly, the kitchen has put in a lot of effort.

"You put your heart into it." The soup was all gone, and Sean smiled at Wutong.

Wutong placed his right hand on his chest and said respectfully, "Young Master, you don't need to be so polite. This is our duty."

"Hmm," Sean hummed in response, saying nothing more.

Feeling the electrolytes and proteins lost in my body being replenished, I supported myself with my arms and stood up.

By then, the moon had already set in the west, and having eaten and drunk our fill, it was time to go back and take a bath to rest.

Sean took off his training clothes, tossed them to Wutong, and walked shirtless toward his room.

While walking, he communicated with the "sage": "Sage, are there any other methods to quickly improve one's physical condition?"

The Heart Source Flow technique is indeed useful, but the efficiency of increasing physical fitness by only one point after 10,000 push-ups is truly appalling!

"Perhaps my understanding of Shingen-ryu is still superficial and lacks the guidance of a master."

"If I have the chance to meet Biski or Netero later, things will probably change."

[Sage's divination in progress]

[Calculation complete.]

[Considering the host is currently serializing "Ninja Pot Shadow," the following solutions have been summarized.]

[1. Kumogakure "Ninja Taijutsu": Relying on lightning-attribute chakra to continuously stimulate the body and enhance physical fitness.]

[Second: The Akimichi Clan's "Multiplication Technique": They accumulate energy in ordinary times, then multiply their body upon release, drastically increasing their physical strength.]

【Three: Shadow Clone Technique: Creates chakra clones, enhancing physical constitution through multiple methods (Note: The clones' training efficiency is only one-third that of the original)】

After the sage finished his summary, Sean's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but drool.

They're all good stuff, it's a pity. Having lived two lives, Sean understands the principle of not biting off more than you can chew.

He simply said to the "sage," "Just tell me how much it will cost?"

[The "Ninjutsu" technique requires 100 "Feedback Points".]

[“Multiply Technique”: 100.]

[Shadow Clone Technique: 200.]

【"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique": 500.】

Sean: "."

He glanced at his pitiful "70" points of "reader feedback value" and sighed heavily.

It seems it's time to speed up the serialization of "Ninja in the Pot".

Chapter 8 Ninja Techniques X Bloodline Theory

A week later.

The latest episode of "Ninja in the Pot" has finally been completed thanks to Sean's overtime work.

After the skirmish, the three returned to Konoha and began preparing for the next climax—the Chunin Exams.

New characters, including Ino-Shika-Cho, Lee, Hinata, Aburame, Inuzuka, and Tenten, also made their appearances.

Each had its own tradition and strengths, captivating the old man. Among them, Xiao Li particularly aroused the old man's sympathy.

Mah put down the line drawing and sighed: "It's a pity about Xiao Li. It's unfortunate that he's hanging out with a bunch of geniuses."

Indeed, Kishimoto, the original author of Naruto, is a staunch supporter of the "bloodline theory".

Of the Konoha 12, all except Rock Lee have powerful clans behind them, except for one.

But, "In my opinion, besides Naruto and Sasuke, Rock Lee has the greatest potential for future achievements." Sean snatched the line drawing from Maha's hand, tidied it up, and sent it out.

When the old man heard Sean say that, he frowned and couldn't help but say, "Sean, don't blame the old man for being nosy."

“Drawing comics also requires logic, and Xiao Li’s starting point was clearly not as high as others.”

"He himself has no talent for ninjutsu, so you absolutely cannot ruin this manga by forcing him into a role."

Are you in a hurry?

Indeed, effort is nothing compared to talent.

But, "Who told you that Xiao Li had a low starting point?"

Sean glanced at the "Eight Gates" lying in the "Sage" panel, which was in dire need of cultivation, and said meaningfully to Maha, "His teacher, Kai, almost kicked the final chapter out of the game."

Huh? Maha's eyes widened, dumbfounded.

Spoilers, huh?

"How can you be so unprofessional?" A second later, the old man realized what was happening and became furious.

You brat, you have no sense of what a cartoonist should do. How are you going to let this old man spend the rest of his life worrying about this "unsolved mystery"?

However, Sean's answer was—but!

Integrity?

That old man is really shameless.

Who had the audacity to say "kill the client"?

"My dear grandfather, I learned this from you!"

Sean rolled his eyes, pushed aside the mahjong, stood up, opened a bottle of Coke, and waited while drinking it—a new round of "feedback" was coming.

A week has passed, and Haku's death in shielding Zabuza from a knife must have brought tears to many readers' eyes.

As expected, about ten minutes later, Ms. Nanako sent her congratulations.

At the same time, the "Sage" notification sounded in Sean's mind.

[Congratulations, host, for receiving a new round of feedback from readers.]

[Reader Feedback +50]

[Current feedback value balance: 120]
