Ryu watched Meruem leave and left. He didn't know what path they will choose but with just the three of them the world wouldn't be in that much of danger but somehow Ryu knew that won't be the case.
He appeared where Gon was currently resting. Killua and Alluka sat near the bed.
Seeing Ryu, Killua asked " Will he be alright? "
Ryu reassured " Don't worry, he is alright."
After several hours Gon woke up, he was confused for a while and looked around. It was at this time Killua walked in, he was happy when he saw Gon awoke. Alluka who was behind Killua hugged Gon and was yelling excitedly.
Killua gave Gon a hard knock on his head and started rebuking him. Ryu watched this scene with a smile.
Gon saw Ryu and asked " Ryu san, what's happening to me? "
Killua was panicking when Gon asked that " What's wrong? Does it hurt anywhere? "
Gon shook his head " No. It's just that..... my body and Nen seemed to have gotten stronger."
Killua and Alluka were astonished. Ryu on the contrary smiled
" It's obvious isn't it. You enhanced your body using your Life Force but since you weren't strong enough your body crumbled after some time. I used my powers to restore and remake your body but your Nen was already enhanced by you before.
After you reverted some of that enhancement remained thus enhancing your Nen by a large margin. As for your body, it was destroyed and then remade. Your body is now stronger and faster than before. With this disaster you have profited."
All three of them were astonished. Gon was shocked at this revelation, he did feel the changes in his body but he didn't know how far he had strengthened.
Ryu continued " Gon, as an Enhancer your body must be strong enough to withstand a hail of bullets without even using an ounce of Nen. Now your body is on the right track, train hard, get strong."
Gon smiled and thanked Ryu. He was eager and wanted to test his strength.
Ryu suddenly got a message from the Hunter Association. He went back and found the place to be in a mess.
His arrival was noticed by Netero's trusted assistant, Beans.
Beans " Sir Ryu!! We have been looking for you, please come inside! "
Beans lead Ryu inside a conference room, twelve people sat inside. Ryu raised an eyebrow when he saw this, he felt something not right.
' What the f**k did you do, Netero!? '
He stood before the twelve Zodiacs, Ryu was impressed by the strength each possessed especially Gin and Pariston. Both of them were slightly stronger.
Beans quickly introduced " Since all of you are here, I will announce Chairman Netero's Will. Before his death he resigned as Chairman and appointed a new person.
Let me introduce, This is Ryu Uzumaki! The new chairman of Hunter Association!! "
Ryu cursed inside ' F**k you Netero!! why the fudge did you appoint me as chairman!?? '
Even the ever calm Gin was surprised. He looked at Ryu and tried to scale his powers but the moment he did so his face grew grave.
The Zodiacs were looking at Ryu and assessing him, all of them had one thought
' For Chairman Netero to choose him, he must be strong.'
Ryu was having a headache, he didn't want any form of power handed to him but he didn't want to just leave after the Old man placed such trust in him.
Ryu said annoyed " This is such a headache, i really don't want to be the Chairman as such the Chairman position will be vacant until a suitable person comes along."
Preston ( Rat ) showed a bright smile and suggested " If that's the case then I nominate myself."
Suddenly every other Zodiac released their Nen completely.
Dragon " Don't get cocky, you won't become Chairman."
Snake " You better dial down Preston ( Rat )."
Preston still had a smile " It's just a suggestion, no need to get angry."
Dog " Like the Chairman said, the seat will be vacant until a suitable candidate comes along."
Ryu got tired of their bickered, his aura was released. All twelve of them felt a suffocating pressure descent on them.
Ryu spoke coldly " Shut up! I will decide who the next Chairman is until then all decisions will be handled by Beans and all of you will act as consultants. Understand? "
His voice was cold and cruel, none of them dared disagree. Preston was still showing a smile but it was constrained, he never thought the one Netero appointed was such a monster.
Ryu left Hunter Association. He had some work to finish, he needed to make portal to this world. Hunter world was rich in resources, this was also a good place for training.
Ryu started his work, his actions were only known by Bean and the Zodiacs. They were astonished when he revealed such actions but quickly regained calmness, the Hunter world was never short on strange happenings.
While he was busy with his work the world went on its way. Among Netero's will was his wish for the Hunter Association to explore the Dark Continent. Beans had asked Ryu his opinion and he gave them permission do the exploration.
Ryu and the rest had already cleared out most of the dangerous beings within that continent so it was relatively safe but there were still tremendous danger for the Hunters even with the Zodiacs level.
*********
Two more months passed.....
Ryu had already done his work. Now all of them were prepared to go to their next world but before that Ryu needed to head back home for some time. He needed to be with his family for some time, after all that's his home. No matter how far he goes, no matter how many worlds he travel to he would always return there..... Home.
