194 HxH: The Strongest Assassin
🕑 Added 2024-12-21 06:00:07 +0000 UTCMastering toughness requires an exceptional level of aura control.
Kaizen stared at the compressed aura in his hand, his mind drifting to an idea.
Chakra...
The concept of chakra in the Naruto world bore striking similarities to aura. In that universe, chakra control was split into two key aspects: shape transformation and nature transformation.
Aura followed a comparable principle.
Ten, Zetsu, Ren, Hatsu, In, Gyo, Ken, Ko, Ryu—these were all techniques that could be viewed as shape transformations of aura.
The stronger one's control, the more refined and precise these transformations became. At the pinnacle of mastery, terms like "Ten" and "Ren" lost their significance.
The aura followed the wielder's intent, responding seamlessly to their will.
Kaizen reached his limit as he pushed his compression technique further. The aura began to destabilize, no longer under his control.
He raised his hand, releasing the tightly packed aura toward the ruins in front of him.
BOOM!
The ground quaked.
The dilapidated structure collapsed under the force of Kaizen's attack, sending debris flying in all directions.
Kaizen's eyes gleamed with satisfaction.
First, he noted the improvement in his aura control and power after rigorous training. Second, he realized that his battle instincts had sharpened—his ability to deliver an unexpected attack from unconventional angles had significantly improved.
"Condensed aura forms the foundation of Nen techniques," Kaizen mused, recalling a similar training method from Naruto. He thought of the Rasenshuriken, a wind-style chakra technique.
(T/N: Bombs is probably about Killer Queen)
"Physical strength, aura control, and Nen techniques are interconnected. My primary strength lies in my Specialist ability and the Nen Beast, but if my physical body lags behind, it will only hinder the beast's potential."
Kaizen laid out his plan:
"From now on, aura control will be my main focus. Physical conditioning and Nen techniques will act as secondary training. This approach will maximize efficiency."

Killua's Journey
Meanwhile, Killua finished his matches at Heavens Arena and left the venue, hands stuffed in his pockets.
He avoided the luxurious hotel Silva had initially booked for him, opting for a modest room instead. Killua's funds were limited, and he preferred to spend his money on sweets rather than expensive accommodations.
"Chocolate or ice cream…?" Killua pondered as he walked.
Behind him, Sally and Nina tailed him discreetly.
Nina glanced at the tabby cat that came into view. Smiling, she meowed softly, and the cat responded.
With her ability, Nina took control of the tabby.
The feline trotted toward Killua as Nina and Sally followed at a safe distance.
At just six years old, Killua had already undergone grueling training within the Zoldyck family. Yet, he remained inexperienced compared to seasoned Nen users.
Nina observed Killua with curiosity. "He's so small, barely six or seven. How could his parents let him compete in Heavens Arena at this age?"
Sally shrugged. "The captain said he's just a target. Maybe someone hired us to keep an eye on him."

Kaizen's Training
Back at the ruins, Kaizen took a deep breath, calming his mind as he prepared for his final exercise of the day.
"Ko!"
Aura flared around him like a blazing fire. Kaizen compressed it into his right hand, forcing the energy to condense into a glowing sphere.
BOOM!
The impact from his aura shattered the ground, forming a crater where the ruins once stood.
Silva observed from a distance, nodding in approval.
"I didn't expect Kaizen's aura manipulation to reach this level," Silva thought. "Perhaps he's ready for the mission after all."
