Naruto: I Am Not Really Related

Chapter 493: 3 Questions

Among the Shadow Beasts is Owl, whose Nen ability is called "Magic Wrap Cloth."

It can shrink objects and even encase enemies, reducing their size, capturing them, and quickly securing victory. Afterward, everything can be restored to its original state.

It's an ability that's very effective for ambushing.

This one managed to transfer all the auction items away, and upon hearing about the death of the Ten Dons, he decided to pack up and take everything.

With the Phantom Troupe members drawing attention upfront, no one noticed him.

However, he underestimated the Phantom Troupe, and Nobunaga and his group captured him during his escape.

Thus, the sought-after items were 'regained.'

The total value of these items is in the trillions, and the payment to Haru was just a drop in the bucket.

"Let's go."

After completing the transaction, Haru left nonchalantly.

Uvogin seemed disappointed, "Just let him go like that?"

"Tell me, once you've healed, do you stand a chance in a one-on-one fight against him?"

Uvogin nearly dusted his teeth but eventually spat out two words, "No."

"What do you think we must sacrifice to keep him here?"

Uvogin suddenly fell silent.

A conflict of egos is meaningless!

This situation was the best outcome—they got what they wanted, and the Ten Dons were dealt with.

At worst, it's like missing out on one set of 'Greed Island.'

As Chrollo and the others were leaving, Kurapika was about to follow them when someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

Kurapika's face changed dramatically, Damn!

He didn't even realize someone had gotten behind him. If the person had intended to kill him just then, even ten lives wouldn't have been enough.

Although it was a bit late, Kurapika quickly turned around to create distance.

"Hey, what a coincidence~"

"You again!"

Kurapika's gaze hardened, anger evident.

Haru waved, "Come on, don't look at me like that. I'm a bit embarrassed to have stolen your prey, but you don't think I can't shake you off, do you?"

"So you deliberately led me here?"

"Sort of. Weren't you looking for the Spider? The one I just traded with is the Phantom Troupe's leader, Chrollo Lucifer. The little girl beside him is Elena, the one with the sword is Nobunaga, and the one you caught earlier is Uvogin. What else do you want to know? Since you helped me earn extra, I can tell you what you want to know about the Phantom Troupe or help you recapture Uvogin. Or do you need money? That's the easiest. How about ten billion jennies?"

Kurapika, hearing this, was tempted, "You're ready to discuss this with me here?"

Haru smacked his lips and looked around at the bustling crowd and vehicles, "Let's go. I'll take you for some good food."

He chose a local specialty restaurant, circled a few unappealing dishes, and then told the waiter to bring one of everything else.

Nouveau riche?

No, just a big eater.

The restaurant only cares if you can finish the food or not as long as you pay. They'd rather every customer ordered this much.

"Have you decided which one?"

"I chose the first. Tell me about the Phantom Troupe."

"I knew you'd choose that, but information about the Phantom Troupe is costly, so I'll only answer three questions as compensation. Think carefully before you ask."

"The first question, I want to know the Nen abilities of all the Phantom Troupe members," Kurapika asked without hesitation.

Then, Haru was at a loss.

"You can't call that one question."

"But it is indeed one question. What, are you going to back out now? Even if you choose to back out, I can do nothing about it."

"Poor attempt at provocation, but I know the answer."

Haru is very knowledgeable about the abilities of each member of the Phantom Troupe, as their presence in the original story made a deep impression on him.

So, he shared the information he knew with Kurapika.

Kurapika listened more intently, his expression growing more serious, and eventually, he borrowed some paper money from the restaurant staff to start taking serious notes.

He was still determining whether the other party was bluffing or deceiving him.

Because there was no need for that.

He said he could only hold it if the other party told him nothing.

But when a name came up, Kurapika was taken aback, "Hisoka?"

"What, you didn't know? I made it obvious last time. Phantom Troupe member number 4, Hisoka, has a spider tattoo on his back."

"No way! Hisoka has shown me his back before, and there was nothing there!" Kurapika said.

Haru was taken aback momentarily, then seemed to realize something and laughed, "That cunning guy. Hisoka has two abilities: one is 'Bungee Gum,' and the other is called 'Texture Surprise.'..."

"He must have used 'Texture Surprise' to create a fake spider tattoo to fool the Troupe members and removed it beforehand to fool you."

Kurapika finally understood why Hisoka wanted to work with him.

It was to use him!

And blatantly so.

So, the question arises: does Hisoka count as a member of the Phantom Troupe?

Would his Nen ability work on Hisoka?

"What else do you want to know?"

Haru continued eating while casually reminding him.

"I want to destroy the Phantom Troupe. How do you think I should go about it?"

Haru was somewhat surprised by Kurapika's question, "The Phantom Troupe isn't as simple as you think, but if isolated, with your Chain Jail enhanced by Limitation and Vow, you stand a considerable chance."

Kurapika's heart tightened. Limitation and Vow... seen through, huh?

Then he heard the other continue: "With your current strength, the most likely way to destroy the Spider is to start with the leader. Chrollo is the soul of the Phantom Troupe, indispensable. Without him, the Troupe would immediately fall into disarray, and your chance will come. One by one, until there's none left."

Kurapika pondered internally, "If I face more than two members of the Troupe at once..."

"You'll die horribly. That's not a question, but advice for you."

Kurapika nodded without any arrogance.

"Last question, the Spider... where are they?"

Just now, Kurapika felt that the dowsing chain on his ring finger suddenly lost its direction.

This meant that someone had cracked his ability, and he could no longer continue to track Uvogin to find the others.

Haru glanced at him, then finished the food on his plate, "Waiter, the check."

"Since you're so impatient, let's go. I'll take you to find the Spider."
