And we back! I'm glad you guys enjoyed the last chapter. Also as most of you noticed yes that was the second to last phase from the hunter exam on Hunter x Hunter, I wondered how many of you would pick up on that. In this chapter there'll be one direct reference which I'm sure you'll be able see when it happens. Anyways this chapter will show a bit of the exam as well as more interaction with Midnight. Anyways I hope you guys enjoy it, hopefully I can push out another chapter either from this story or another after this one.

About an hour and a half had passed by when the last person left the boat. They had gone one by one in two minute intervals until everyone had gone. A large majority took off sprinting the moment they touched land, trying to get the best hiding spot they could to get their target.

"Alright time to go." The blond commented as he headed for the platform. Once he touched land he walked into the sea of trees. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a black device and pressed a button on its side. "Testing, testing, Vlad, Eraser can you hear me?" He spoke into the walkie talkie.

Eraser's monotone voice was the one who replied "Loud and clear. All cameras are active and everything is in order."

"Perfect, what are they doing right now?"

"Some are in hiding, keeping an eye open. Others are…not exactly gifted in stealth. No one has made a move yet." Vlad replied. The blond nodded at the information but didn't respond. He pulled out his phone and made a call.

"Yes" came the high pitched voice of the principal over the line.

"Just making sure everything is working on your end."

"Oh yes, signal and audio are crystal clear. Though I do have to wonder, how many do you think are going to try to take your tag?"

"I'm going to say at the very least, two. It also depends on how their hunt goes." He replied. "Also, it's a three day long exam, are you planning on watching all 72 hours?" He added.

"Some volunteers and I are rotating every few hours. But everything is being recorded so if something amazing happens we'll see. Do a good job now." He added before the line went dead.

Knowing everything was in working order he walked further into the forest for a bit, glancing around to see if anyone was nearby. There wasn't. Knowing he wasn't going to be seeing anyone from here he looked up and smiled when he saw a relatively tall tree. He walked forward and jumped before using each branch as a stepping stone to get to the top.

"Yes!" He cheered to himself when he looked down. The gaps between some trees were large enough for him to see plenty of the surrounding land. Figuring it would be a little while before people actually decided to strike he sat down and rested his back against the tree and allowed himself to relax. Though he allowed himself to close his eyes he made sure to stay alert. There was no sound of activity yet, only the sound of birds chirping nearby. Everyone is still playing it safe.

He stayed there for a few hours until he heard something. It was very faint but he still heard it. The sound of footsteps. Standing up he glanced down through the trees when he saw who had made the sound. It was Midoriya, he was walking through the dirt path, glancing around constantly. From the blonds standpoint he could see that not too far up ahead was a chubby boy with light blue hair also looking around. He'd never seen him before so that had to mean he was in class 1-B.

Midoriya must have noticed him as his footsteps slowed considerably and he hid behind a nearby tree. The boy moved closer, hiding behind another tree.

"Did he find his target or is he going for a single point?" The blond thought to himself, interested in how this would play out. The green haired boy was within ten feet of his target. He watched as Midoriya picked up a rock and threw it into the grass to their right. Naruto raised an eyebrow at this but couldn't help but smirk as the chubbier boy's attention moved to where the sound had been made.

He made the mistake of turning his body to get into fighting position but didn't know that in doing so he'd given his back to Midoriya. This was it, if he was going to act now was the time.

Sure enough the greenette dashed forward and jumped onto the boys back. His arms wrapped around his neck while his legs wrapped around his body. The blue haired boy struggled, trying to forcibly remove the arms that were cutting off his oxygen but it was no use as he was forced onto the ground.

Quickly pulling out the walkie talkie he clicked and spoke. "Vlad, the chubby light blue haired boy in your class, what's his name and his quirk?"

"That's Shoda Nirengeki, his quirk is called Twin Impact. Basically put it allows him to strike a target and the point of impact will receive a second hit with more force than the first" The 1-B homeroom teacher replied. He gave a quick thank you and turned all his attention back down. No doubt they were gonna switch screens to see why he'd suddenly asked.

The boy, Nirengeki had suddenly gotten a second wind and tried again to remove Midoriya from him but it wasn't enough. Soon the struggling died down and he was put to sleep.

"He couldn't strike Midoriya's arms because if he did, he ran the risk of hurting himself badly in the process. The second impact would be more powerful than the first and could damage this throat. Meanwhile his opponent didn't use his quirk since it would result in breaking his bones and possibly killing his fellow student." Naruto analyzed silently. Overall he was impressed with what he'd seen.

He watched as Midoriya took the boy's tag and pocketed it before looking around and continuing walking. So he went for the single point after all. He pulled out his phone and recorded the time, battle, and his thoughts for the teachers to go over during grading. Not noticing anyone else around he activated his quirk and disappeared from the tree top.

A couple hours later the blond had retreated to the boat to have some lunch. The two teachers picked him up before heading back further from land. Though he wasn't on the island he and the two teachers were watching what was going on over the multiple monitors the boat was equipped with.

Naruto took a bite of his sandwich and looked at a notebook sitting next to Aizawa's plate. "How are they doing so far?"

"So far only four have made some progress." He said after finishing his bite. "Midoriya has his own tag as well as a single point tag. Todoroki has his tag as well as that of his targets, though he did take some damage in the process. Monoma from 1-B has his tag as well as two single pointers. Finally, Kendo also from 1-B has her tag and a single pointer."

Naruto finished his sandwich and drink and asked to be taken back. There was still a little time left, maybe he'd see something good. The two teachers didn't look happy, they never did, but still complied and took him back before once again dropping anchor a bit away from shore.

Once again heading through the woods he glanced around, trying to find where the sound of a tree breaking was coming from. That was a battle he'd like to see. As he wandered through the forest he couldn't help but wonder how worried some of the students must be. They didn't know that they could still pass the exam without getting the tags. As long as they performed well and showed they could strategize, use the surrounding environment, and acted well under pressure it would be enough.

He sighed and glanced up at the sky. The sun was setting but it was still high enough to have a large amount of land be lit up. "When I pitched the idea I didn't expect this." He mumbled to himself. He continued walking and only momentarily stopped when his phone went off.

His mood instantly changed for the better when the words Mistress Kayama was displayed as the caller.

"Hey…should I refer to you as Midnight or Kayama right now?" He asked.

"I'm not at UA for these next few days because of the exam and I'm not on speaker so Kayama is fine" She replied.

"Alright so what's up?" He ducked under a branch to get to a clearing before making a left.

"Not much. After all the teachers were told of the exam we were all given access to watch it in real time. This is the first time a normal exam is held like this you know. Anyway you were looking a little bored so I decided to give you a call."

"Well I definitely appreciate it. What are you up to?"

"Just at home. I finished my patrol already so now I'm here with some Italian food and a nice glass of wine while I watch some students battle it out."

"Lucky you. I sat through lunch with Vlad and Eraser, I'm sure you can imagine the great conversation we had." He told her, the sarcasm clear in his voice.

She laughed. "Well it was your idea after all."

"Well I didn't expect for him to actually put me in it. I figured at best he'd just like the idea and use it." He replied before quickly looking to his right. The invisible girl from 1-A was a few feet away from him. Her floating clothes moved, slowly backing away from him as if afraid he was going to try and take her tags. When she was far enough away he could tell she ran by how fast her clothes were moving.

"I don't think anyone did. But look on the bright side, Nezu trusts you enough to be around the students. Even if everything is being heavily monitored."

He sighed "Yeah I guess that's one way to look at it. Honestly though I'd rather be at home with the air conditioner blasting while I buy stuff online." He whined.

"Hmm. That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I could use some new pajamas."

"What's wrong with your current ones?"

"They're old and completely unflattering. It's a black tank top and a pair of white shorts." His eyes widened as he pictured her in said clothes. He was about to ask how she knew he was gonna ask but she spoke again "I'm watching remember? I could see the word 'What' forming on your mouth. Also don't think I didn't see how your eyes lit up when I told you what they were. You pictured it didn't you?" She teased.

Naruto scoffed "You're imagining things." He really did picture it but he wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of knowing that.

"Judging by how you glance at me when you think I'm not looking I'm inclined to believe you're lying." She added. He couldn't see her but in his head he could see the smug smirk she must be wearing knowing she was right.

"I don't know what you're talking…oh? Looks like someone's gonna try and take my tag." He spoke into the phone. He'd sensed someone following him since he answered the phone but only now did they actually have an intent to strike.

"Oh yeah I can see that. Looks like you're gonna be busy, I'll call you back in a few minutes." She offered.

"No it'll be fine." Having known her a little better over the last couple weeks he could imagine her raising an eyebrow in response to his statement.

"Those are UA hero course students. I wouldn't underestimate them." She cautioned.

"I'm not but I'm confident in my abilities enough to say that whoever it is won't touch me." He responded with full confidence.

"Is that so? Wanna bet on it?" Now it was his turn to raise an eyebrow.

"What are the stakes?"

"If the student so much as grazes you, you have to do all my paperwork at school for a month" He could tell she was hoping he'd take the bet. He'd seen her sometimes scowling as she went over papers. This was his golden opportunity.

"I'll take that bet. However, if I win…" He made a show of tapping his chin in thought. "I get to take Nemuri Kayama out to dinner this Saturday night."

The line was silent for a second before she responded "Well aren't you bold. Alright I accept."

"Good. Here they come." He said as he tilted his head to the right as a flying fist passed him by. He turned, his right hand still with the phone to his ear, to see who had finally come to try.

It was a green haired girl, he'd guess from 1-B since he didn't recognize her. Setsuna Tokage, Midnight informed him through the phone. She didn't say anything else though.

"Just curious, do you have your targets tag already?" He questioned the girl

She shook her head. "At the moment I have my own. Everyone is already calling it a day and heading to the houses. I'm not getting another one today and since I found you on my way I figured I'd give it a try."

"Alright, you're welcome to try it." The girl noticed he was still on the phone and narrowed her eyes. She got into a punching stance and punched the air. One hand then the other. Her two fists detached from her body and flew at him at impressive speeds one a few feet above the other.

He stepped forward and planted his left hand on the ground much to the girl's confusion. Using that to add a bit of spin to his jump, he spun in the air, his body parallel to the floor as he jumped in between the gap the two fists had between them and landed unscathed.

He quickly moved aside as one of the fists came back faster than the other and ducked as the young woman had gotten close and tried to kick his head.

"So you can detach your limbs and move the pieces freely…how interesting." He observed.

He ducked under three fingers and side stepped another fist to the right. "You know if you wanted to try me you should've waited until the last day."

"I told you it's only because you happened to be in view when I was heading towards one of the houses. Those ten points will be a great help for the next exam. Plus the fact that you only dodge tells me you can't retaliate." She deduced

He merely smiled "Well I can but I'm just choosing not to" He jumped between two limbs again much to her anger. He watches her limbs reattach and she takes a deep breath. Quickly he stuck his right hand out and caught a fist from his side. He stared in fascination as the fist flailed in his grip.

"You distracted me just now with the two attacks and secretly sent out a fist to wait until my guard dropped. Not bad. What happens if I don't give this back? Or if I destroy it? I'm not gonna do that, I'm just curious."

She sighed in defeat and the fist stopped moving. "If I have to I can regenerate it. But it takes time and leaves me vulnerable for a bit." She held her arm out and let the fist he'd let go of reattach itself. "We're done here. I only gave it a shot but it's not that important." She says before stepping past him and walking away.

Grabbing his walkie talkie he clicked. "By any chance did you guys catch that?"

"Yes we marked it down" Vlad responded before cutting the line.

Turning his attention back to the phone he spoke again. "So what did you think?"

"Well color me impressed. You didn't even use your quirk or retaliate against her." The tone she used let him know she was curious why he didn't.

"She was coming at me not believing she'd get it. It was more of a whim type thing. Whoever comes at me with actual intent to take it can possibly make me retaliate. Lightly at that." He noticed that the area had darkened considerably since he'd gotten back. "It looks like people are calling it for today. Guess I'll head back. Oh and before I forget, make sure you have a formal dress for Saturday night."

"Formal huh, alright. I'm curious to see what you have planned. Bye." She hung up. Knowing that the action was done for the day he called Eraser and had them come get him, much to their annoyance.

Final day of exam

It was finally winding down. Today was the final day of the exam and he knew the students must be on edge. On day two the students had been very active. Those that hadn't made any progress had gone on the attack. He didn't know if they'd found their specific target or not but the sounds of battle went on most of the day.

At around 2pm some students who'd managed to rack up the six points necessary had found him and asked where they could go since they were finished. He chuckled at the memory. Their faces of disbelief when he told them they had to rough it out until the end and not get those tags taken. Later that night Eraser relayed the message to everyone while they were in the houses. Chaos soon followed.

This morning when he went to scope out the island there was a lot more noise. It seemed those who'd had their tags stolen were trying to get them back, or just trying to get six others. As the day went on though the fighting decreased no doubt everyone had burnt themselves out. It was only about noon at the moment and the blond decided to do one more quick walkthrough before they called it.

As he walked he once again tilted his head to avoid a flying fist. "Tokage is back?" He thought. No. Judging by the size of the fist this was a guy.

Turning around he found he was right. It was a blond haired boy from 1-B. "Isn't that your classmates quirk?"

"It is." The boy confirmed "I'm just borrowing it for a little bit."

He raised his eyebrow wondering what the young man was planning. "What's your name?"

"Monoma Neito."

"There's only an hour left. Don't you wanna secure tags while you can?" The proctor asked.

Wasting no time Monoma held up four tags. "It's already been taken care of. I have some time so I came looking for you. If I can take your tag I'll show everyone why they shouldn't sleep on me."

Naruto had a feeling by 'everyone' he was referring to either his classmates or UA for putting him in class 1-B. "Alright let's see what he's got."

Similar to the original user he dodged the limbs as they came. Though he noticed that Monoma was shooting smaller pieces and they were moving faster. He glanced around and noticed all the pieces were circling him. One by one they tried to hit him one after the other. He ducked, dodged, and weaved as he tried to keep an eye on all of them.

Suddenly he smirked to himself as he saw through the blond boy's plan. What will he do now? The 1-B student used the moment his fellow blond dodged to run up and swipe kick at his head, an attack that the older blond avoided by leaning back.

All of his body parts were now back on the boy and he decided to try his luck at hand to hand combat. Unfortunately Naruto had far more experience in that field. He parried every punch, smacking all the fists coming his way away. Once he saw an opening he palmed the boys forehead and pushed him back.

He brought his hands up to block immediately as he felt the change around them. Immediately he jumped back to avoid a punch to the body. Taking a breath he reached out to the left and caught a fist coming his way.

"So you copy quirks and understand how to use them. However, you also get them in their base form. Unfortunately for you I know mine so well I can easily stop you."

Monoma, who was now a few feet away from Naruto, had a hand on his knee as he panted for breath. His other hand reached into his pocket and held up a tag.

Naruto feigned shock and looked to his chest to see his tag gone. He looked back at the boy and clapped. "Congratulations, you did it." The boy didn't respond and merely turned around ready to walk away only to stop when Naruto called out to him. "Are you really going to leave without these?" He asked, holding four tags in his hand.

Monoma looked shocked and patted his other pocket only to find it empty. "When you first tried to kick me I swiped them from you but you didn't notice." He chuckled "You're good. You used the detached limbs to keep my focus on them. When I looked away you ran forward to try and kick me but had one of the detached limbs flick my tag off. Seemingly without me noticing. You came at me again to try and make me believe you were still trying, instead of leaving immediately since that would lead me to chase you down to get it back. I'm honestly impressed. You copied a quirk that you knew would help you and used it as if it was your own. Not to mention you came up with a decent plan." He complimented. "You'll make a fine hero some day."

Monoma however looked upset. "You didn't take me seriously from the start. Just like UA who threw me into 1-B." Two words jumped to his mind. Inferiority complex.

"You believe they overlooked you in favor of people with flashier quirks and perhaps they did. Maybe they made a mistake putting you in 1-B, but keep in mind the people that make those decisions are human. They're bound to make mistakes." He began lecturing. "Don't let the fact that you were put in B make you feel lesser than them. I didn't even go to UA and I can confidently say the only people stronger than me are All Might and one other man." Though All Might would be for a little while only until he got back to full power.

"Prove to UA that they made a mistake by getting stronger. Don't taunt 1-A to make yourself feel better. Get strong enough to have everyone else wonder why you were put into 1-B. Here." He threw the boys tags back to him.

Monoma caught the tags and looked ready to throw his back to him. However, Naruto's voice stopped him before he could do it. "I'm not taking it back."

"But I didn't take it fairly. You're giving it to me."

"No you did take it. You planned it out so well that had I been a regular student it would have worked. Tell you what, hold onto that tag even after the exam ends. Once you're strong enough I'll take it back." He proposed.

Monoma looked confused "How will I know when I'm strong enough?" Though he got a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach when the blond smiled and disappeared. He didn't know what happened until it was too late.

The blond appeared in front of him and his fist collided with his cheek hard enough to send him tumbling to the ground. The smaller blond bounced a few times on the ground until coming to a stop.

Naruto walked over to the downed form of the hero in training and crouched down. "When you're able to punch me in the face just like that, I'll take it back." He told him before standing up and walking away. "Once you're up I'd start heading back to the starting point, the exam is over soon."

An hour later everyone was back on the boat on their way to UA. From there the students would be free to go home. They'd been informed by their two teachers that their results would be told to them on Monday.

Everyone finally had a chance to relax now that the exam was over. Students from both classes were talking to each other going over the battles they'd fought and strategies they'd used. Nobody failed to notice the usually loud mouth blond boy sitting by himself with an angry look on his face as he stared at the water.

And I'll end it there. What did you guys think? Similar to my other story he's gonna be giving Monoma some tips here and there. I really believe the guy is underrated in the series and doesn't get enough love. Anyways the next chapter Naruto goes on a date with Midnight. As always if you guys have any suggestions or comments feel free to leave them in a review or PM me.
