A Hunter Chronicle – 12

Naruto asked, still watching the screen.

Kurapika was heading up next to fight a rather disturbing muscular man with extremely bad, possibly painful, facial surgery.

"We shall be on who would win this fight? If you win, I will let you do whatever you want for one time."

Lippo answered with a smile, believing the boy would choose the obvious one fighter from the pair.

"I pick Kurapika."

Naruto declared with a smile while Lippo was surprised and asked him why he had chosen the skinner combatant instead.

"Because Kurapika is my friend, I choose him because I want him to win."

Naruto replied, biting down some more biscuit.

Kurapika won his match as predicted by the blond as Lippo sweat dropped.

He wonders if Naruto had some devilish luck.

"Aren't you going to stop that."

Naruto said, pointing at another screen recording Hisoka fighting with someone in two curve knives.

Lippo looked at the offending panel and wondered how did Togari, a hunter and former examiner sneaked into the tower without him knowing.

"That guy has made his choice. I'm not his baby sitter, but… I will if you want to use up your win."

Lippo said with a pause, reminding Naruto that he could do whatever he like for one time. Naruto was about to say something but Hisoka just beheaded Togari after making a mockery of him. Naruto sighed and decided to think of something else.

"I wish to move along with my friends' fight, they just wasting time waiting for that guy to wake up."

Naruto said as Lippo nodded, accepting the request.

"Very well, Naruto."

Lippo said and took the microphone to tell the group to move on to the next round.

The prisoners heard the speaker and nodded.

One of them asked if they could use the unconscious guy in a bet, which Lippo agreed.

"So, who do you pick this round."

Lippo asked Naruto, who shrugged.

"Actually, I'll skip this one, I have no idea how this battle will turn out."

Naruto denied the bet, watching Leorio volunteered to go up because his opponent was a girl.

The blond sweated a little and really wanted to cheer for the girl instead of the pervert.

"I bet 10 hours you're a male."

Leorio said as Gon and Killua looked at each other.

Kurapika face palmed while Kurama smirked, laying on top of Gon's head.

"I really like him."

Kurama called out, shocking all the prisoners that the fox could talk.

Lerio grabbed the microphone immediately after seeing it.

"Oi, isn't that fox also a candidate? Why are there six of you!? Where is your badge?"

Lippo called out as Naruto tapped on his shoulder. He pointed at the two badges on his chest.

Lippo sweated and starts screaming at the blond.

"What's going on up there?"

Gon asked, hearing Naruto and Lippo shouting over the speaker.

"Probably Naruto driving another examiner insane."

Killua answered with a smirk.

Kurapika nodded in agreement while Leorio asked if the round could go on, he wanted to check if the girl in front of him was an actual girl through physical examination, which will be carried out him.

Lippo decided to calm down after some verbal insults.

Every badge had a microchip in them to monitor each of the contestants, and they were not allowed to remove it under any circumstances.

Apparently, Naruto was wearing both throughout the whole exam without any one giving much thought.

That would explain why there are 6 candidates doing the Majority Rules route, which set for five people only.

Lippo decided to ignore the fox since it would mess up the game if included now, but he couldn't ignore his headache.

"Why did you only check her asset? She could have it implanted, pull down her pants! Show it to us!"

Kurama called out as Leorio looked at his hand, he had carried out his examination.

Leorio eyes sparkled and looking at Leroute, who shriek and didn't want to.

Leorio started to chase her around while Kurama egged him on.

Everyone else sweat dropped at the sight.

"Okay enough, I assure you she's a girl."

Lippo called out on the speaker, wanting to move the round along, and didn't really want to embarrass his own prisoners anymore.

Leorio lost as expected while Naruto enjoyed more biscuits.

Killua was the last one and his opponent was called Johness the Dissector.

The name amused Naruto somewhat.

"Aren't you worried?"

Lippo asked, but Naruto shook his head as a reply.

The sage had checked the serial murderer's movement and posture when he was walking into the ring.

While the muscular framed man's grip strength was impressive, but that was all.

Johness was slow, incredibly so.

Killua was far faster than he let on, and Naruto knew Killua was a natural born assassin, not a murderer, an assassin, a perfect killer!

If Killua was born during Naruto's era, he would eventually be a Hokage or a Jounin commander given enough time.

The sage shivered a bit, knowing Killua could some impossible feat without the aid of Charka or Nen at all.

'What would happen if Killua is able to use Nen… he would be incredibly deadly.'

Naruto thought and smiled.

He really wanted to fight that Killua in a friendly match.

"This battle's going to be…"

Naruto didn't finish his sentence as Lippo jaw dropped at how the spikey silver-haired boy just ripped out a full-grown man's heart almost instantly.

"Well, they have to be hold back for a while, I might as well finish this level."

Naruto said, looking at several screens in front of him.

There was nothing that stands out.

Hisoka managed to reach the end first.

The clown looked around and then directly at the camera with a smirk.

'What is it with this year candidates? I have a murdering clown, an odd ball and an assassin to deal with. I'm not even sure what Naruto is. He's already a Hunter and he still want to do the exam? This is getting very strange and very interesting.'

Lippo thought.

Naruto stood up from his seat and headed toward the center of the room and took out his Kunai.

Lippo eyes widened as the boy start cutting the steel tiled floor of the monitoring room with a regular Kunai.

'Is he using Nen? To cut through this room floor with just a kunai, he must be extremely proficient at it.'

Lippo thought as he channeled Nen into his eyes and saw the Kunai was wrapped in some sort of energy that he was not familiar with.

Lippo snapped out of when the boy picked up the square metal slab that he just slice out the floor and threw it to the side, readying to jump down to the lower floor.

"Oi, STOP! I GET IT, YOU CAN PASS THIS STAGE EASILY. PLEASE DON'T DESTROY THE TOWER ANYMORE!"

Lippo shouted as Naruto quirked an eyebrow.

"But that's not right, I want to reach the bottom on my own power."

Naruto refused the offer as Lippo tried to stop the boy from creating more shortcut through the tower on all the level for everyone.
