Hunter x Hunter is a shounen manga by by Yoshihiro Togashi. It has several derivative works including two anime adaptations.

A Hunter is one who travels the world doing all sorts of dangerous tasks. From capturing criminals to searching deep within uncharted lands for any lost treasures. Gon is a young boy whose father disappeared long ago, being a Hunter. He believes if he could also follow his father's path, he could one day reunite with him.

After becoming 12, Gon leaves his home and takes on the task of entering the Hunter exam, notorious for its low success rate and high probability of death to become an official Hunter. He befriends the revenge-driven Kurapika, the doctor-to-be Leorio and the rebellious ex-assassin Killua in the exam, with their friendship prevailing throughout the many trials and threats they come upon taking on the dangerous career of a Hunter.

Was it not possible to see Illumi's needle with gyo?

Hisoka uses In to conceal his bungee gum which is visible with gyo, so I figured Illumi must have also masked his needle with In. I think anyone could see with gyo that Killua has a different aura on him, even a little. Because that is certainly a…
