Illumi had left his father's room, when he remembered he had no idea how was Earth. He went back into his father's room and asked: « Is there anything I should know about Earth? »
« You can't use Nen, » Silva replied. « But you can use dragon chakra. Come with me in the forest, I'll explain you. »
They went to the forest. Silva explained him about the several types of dragon chakra. He then tested him and saw he had night and water power within him.
« Normally, » he explained. « You should be able to find out how to use your dragon chakra by using your Gyo. All you've got to do after that is get used to this kind of chakra and find out which techniques you could use. The chakra element techniques are those the shinobis use. The planet in which there are these shinobis is very close to here. You could take a rocket and go to this planet; and ask one of the shinobi teachers to train you. But you'll have to train by yourself for the other power you've got. »
« I think I'm just going to take a book at the library. »
« OK. Illumi, for all your life, I taught you to make your own rules and ignore the one the law dictated. But this one time, I'd like you to obey this rule: don't use dragon chakra on people who don't have it within them. »
« Why? » Illumi asked.
« Officially, the committee that created this rule says it's because it would create divisions, but the truth is that it creates an explosion of one mile perimeter. They keep the true reason secret because they're afraid the terrorists would use this particularity. »
« OK. But how come people obey this rule? The excuse is stupid. »
« Someone disobeyed once, and it resulted in a explosion, so the people assumed the committee had made the person explode. » Silva said.
« OK ».
Illumi left Kukuru Mountain and went to a library to get a book about chakra, but he had to show his Hunter license to have access to the book.
Silva thought, « Well, that was a big lie, and he believed in it. The committee never lied about the rule and the explosion never happened. I never thought I'd be able to lie to him. Anyway, the assassin techniques are more effective than dragon chakra when it comes to kill people who don't have dragon chakra within them, so it won't be a problem if he obeys the Rule. But it's still a good thing he learned about dragon chakra, because he might have to fight Kiru. »
Illumi was sitting in the library reading the book:
Water techniques: Wave; Rain; Suiton Rasengan (a water version of the Rasengan); Sharpy ice; Water gun; Daibakufu no jutsu; Suiryudan no jutsu; Sujin heki; Suiton daibakuryu; Suiro no jutsu; Kirigakure no jutsu.
« It's boring, » he thought. « I'll just find someone to fight and make up a few techniques. »
He gave the book back to the librarian and left the library. Once he was in the street, he used Gyo to see if there was any one able to use dragon chakra. He saw a black-haired woman with blue eyes. She seemed to be about thirty years old and there was some powerful pride in her eyes. « She looks like an interesting person to kill, » Illumi thought. He went toward her and asked her, « Will you come with me in the woods and fight me? I just learned about dragon chakra and I have to train. »
« Why not, » she answered with a patronizing smile. « What is your name? »
« Gitarakuru, » he replied. « And you? »
« Kathrin. »
They both went into the woods and then faced each other. Illumi counted down to three and jumped into a three. He then felt a breeze on his skin, and before he could realize that it was the Kathrin's power, the breeze had turned into a tornado that made him fall of his tree. His mind was racing but he couldn't find what to do.
He got thrown into a wall and he saw the woman running toward him with a Rasengan. And the second before she hit him, he found out what to do. « The attraction create by the moon can be stronger than the wind, all I've gotta do is create water and use the moon's power; since there's a tornado, the water will stay where it is instead of moving. Then, I can freeze it and turn it into a wall of ice, and then will be able to fight for real. » he thought. He did all these things, and after the Rasengan hit him, there was already a wall of ice surrounding them.
« Don't think you can get me in hand-to-hand combat, » Kathrin thought as she created another Rasengan. She hit Illumi with the Rasengan, and Illumi responded with another Rasengan. He tried to inundate the place but she created a bubble in which she could breathe so he made the water disappear.
Illumi then made a kunai out of ice.
Kathrin was surprised, « He's planning to kill me. All right then, I'll kill him. »
He tried to stab her with the knife but she got hold of it, transferred her wind chakra-release into it, so that it would be sharper. She tried to stab him in his heart but the kunai went in his shoulder instead.
Then, she saw a change in Illumi's eyes. He really meant to kill her. She felt power emerging from him, and she was beginning to fear him. He made needles out of ice, and threw them at her without killing her. The pain she got in was unbearable, but she managed to stay up and try one last attack. In the worst case, it would kill both her and Illumi. She created all sort of winds with all different direction and different temperature. The wall of ice exploded.
The last thing Kathryn saw was a bloody Illumi, limping toward her, and stabbing her with an ice kunai.
Illumi stood up there for a while. He was feeling strange; he had taken pleasure in a different way this time. In a way that also made him feel sad.
What he didn't know was that for a few minutes of his life, he had loved someone.
He went to the hospital so that he could heal before he went on Earth.
