Hey, guys! Here is the sixth chapter of Super World Adventures! For the second and final part of the Hero Exams, the Union are in for a very challenging battle against their mentors. Hope you like it.
Chapter 6 - Hero Exams: Part Two
Heroes Office, Nakimichi Street, Kamurocho, Shinjuku, Tokyo
It is right now nighttime as everyone hit their beds to get ready for the final part of the exams tomorrow.
The only ones up around likely 10:49 PM were Naruto, Luffy and Izuku for some odd reason.
Ichigo, Kiba, Akamaru, Usopp and Kaminari saw them as they came from the downstairs bathroom.
"What the heck are you guys still down here for? Let's get to bed." Kiba explained.
"Hey, guys…" Naruto said, in a low tone.
"Did you see… a ghost?" Luffy asked.
Ichigo, Kiba, Akamaru, Usopp and Kaminari gulped.
"Y-You're messing with us. There's no ghost here." Kiba explained.
Akamaru whined.
"I-It's just your imagination…" Kaminari said, though his shaking legs say otherwise.
"Just your imagination…" Usopp said, shaking like a leaf.
"T-They're right, Naruto-san. Luffy-san. Just our imagination." Izuku explained, shaking as much as Usopp.
"Y-You guys are right. It was just our imagination." Naruto and Luffy explained in unison.
Suddenly a footstep was heard behind Ichigo, Kiba, Akamaru, Usopp and Kaminari, causing them along with Naruto, Luffy and Izuku to scream.
Only that footstep belonged to Kirishima (with his hair down) and Inasa (without his hat).
"What are you guys doing? Go to bed." Kirishima explained.
"You bums! It's just Kirishima and Yoarashi!" Kaminari hollered, hitting Naruto on the head.
"Yeah. But they look different. It's like the ghost changed them!" Naruto hollered, noticing the differences of Kirishima and Inasa (before and after).
Luffy, Ichigo, Kiba, Usopp and Kaminari laughed.
"That's what Kirishima looks like when he's not in his spiky hair!" Kaminari hollered.
"Is that is attempt to look taller?" Kiba asked.
"And I didn't think Inasa would be as bald as Ikkaku!" Ichigo hollered.
"This is hilarious!" Luffy and Usopp hollered in unison.
"I'm not bald! Just shaved my head!" Inasa hollered, in his usual grin.
"You jerks make fun of my hair again, I'm gonna-" Kirishima explained, before a hand came on Kirishima's shoulders.
It revealed to be Brook. "Please keep it down. People are trying to sleep."
Brook's attempt to calm everyone present only caused them to scream even louder and calling Brook the ghost, which caused the Straw Hat musician to scream as well.
"ALL OF YOU, SHUT UP~!" Nami yelled.

It was now morning, and everyone were having breakfast before getting ready for the exams at Ground Delta.
As for Naruto, Ichigo, Luffy, Izuku, Kiba, Akamaru, Usopp, Kirishima, Kaminari and Inasa, they got a deadly scolding from Nami and left with big bumps on their foreheads last night.
"Next time you idiots cause trouble in the night… don't!" Nami hollered, making the 10 flinch.
"I didn't hear anything." Shoto said.
"You had earplugs, which by the way, you never wore back home." Sanji commented.
Shoto shrugged.
"Oh, Todoroki-san!" Momo hollered.
"Yeah?" Shoto asked.
"You left some milk on your chin." Momo replied.
Shoto noticed some leftover whole milk left on his chin and attempted to use his napkin to wipe it off. But Momo was quicker, since she was sitting next to him at the table this time, and dabbled at his chin gently, getting rid of the milk, smiling as Shoto froze in shock with blushing cheeks.
"All better now." Momo said.
Shoto continued to be shocked, as did Naruto, Ichigo, Luffy, Izuku, Iida and Sanji pretending to not have witnessed what they've saw. Sakura, Rukia, Kyoka and Itsuka were giving the best shit-eating grins at seeing such a development.
XXX
It was now 10 AM, and everyone immediately gathered at Ground Delta, which changed the scenery to the Chunin Exams Finals Stage.
"Now this takes me back." Naruto said.
"It's like we're taking part in the actual Chunin Exams." Shikamaru said.
"Which I recall you forfeited your match, but became a chunin anyway." Ino commented.
"Don't bring that up." Shikamaru said, now annoyed.
"We should stay focused, extras." Bakugo said.
"Why's that?" Usopp asked, in a frightened manner.
"Because we've got incoming." Bakugo replied.
True to the explosion user's word, a large fireball came flying straight towards the Union at high-speed.
Sasuke quickly drew his sword and charged it with electricity, slashing through the fireball in half easily.
"Nice one, Sasuke-kun." Sakura commented.
"And we can guess who shot that fireball." Naruto said.
"That's correct, Naruto." A voice commented.
The Union turned to the floor opening up with smoke coming out, clouding their vision for a while. Coming from the smoke were six figures.
The Union became surprised to see the people coming out of the smoke.
"You're kidding, right?" Naruto asked.
XXX
Appearing from the smoke were Kakashi, Gaara, Kisuke, Jimbei, Sabo and All Might, in his muscular form.
(A/N: Here comes an epic battle!)
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Naruto, Ichigo, Luffy, Blizzard, Sakura, Ino, Kiba, Tenten, Rukia, Renji, Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Franky, Bakugo, Kirishima, Kyoka, Itsuka, Tetsutetsu and Inasa exclaimed in unison.
"You're all the last part?!" Iida exclaimed.
The rest became scarred with their souls popping out of their bodies like ghosts.
"Didn't think this was easy, right?" Kisuke asked.
"This will test your resolves." Gaara said.
"Look on the bright side, we'll only fight with 30% of our actual strength." Jimbei explained.
"But if we went WAY too easy on you guys, then what's the point?" Sabo asked.
"It's been a while since I tested against my own students. Time to see if you're all ready?" All Might asked.
"And be quick before we make the first move." Kakashi said.
Most of the Union were now totally unsure if they can take on mentors strong enough to be considered the best in their own worlds.
But the ones who refuse to flinch were the Acts of Hope.
"Well, I'm looking forward to it! Believe it!" Naruto hollered.
"I'm game too. No way I can pass an opportunity like this." Ichigo explained.
"I've always wanted to fight Sabo myself." Luffy said.
"E-Even if it's All Might… I can't back down!" Izuku hollered.
Everyone else began to feel at ease thanks to the confidence of the Acts of Hope.
XXX
Inside Naruto and Gaara, their respective Tailed Beasts Kurama and Shukaku, were having a conversation of their own.
"There's no way in hell Naruto and I would lose to you, dumb tanuki." Kurama said.
"As if Gaara and I will lose to you, you damn fox!" Shukaku hollered.
"Big words. I love to see you try." Kurama said, which angered the One-Tail.
XXX
"Let's do this, gang!" Naruto hollered.
"YEAH!" The Union shouted in unison.
Moving around fast, the Union began fighting using hit-and-run tactics against Kakashi, Gaara, Kisuke, Jimbei, Sabo and All Might.
"Looks like they won't go down easy." Gaara commented.
"We better step our game a bit." All Might said.
Izuku realizes All Might is making his move.
"EVERYONE, WATCH OUT FOR ALL MIGHT!" Izuku shouted.
"Texas… SMASH!" All Might shouted.
All Might punched forward, shooting a powerful air blast at the Union head-on, quickly forcing them out of the way but left a large hole in the wall that the air blast struck.
Most of the Union were shocked.
"That was intense!" Usopp hollered.
"I can do that too!" Luffy hollered.
"Third Gear… Armament Hardening!" Luffy shouted, activating Third Gear on his right arm and coating it with Armament Haki.
"DID HIS ARM GREW BIG?!" Naruto, Ichigo and Class 1-A exclaimed in unison.
"Gum-Gum Elephant Gun!" Luffy shouted.
Luffy launched the enlarged right arm at Kakashi and the others, only for Jimbei to intercept with Shark Brick Fist.
"You've gotta deal with me first, Luffy-kun!" Jimbei hollered.
Luffy gritted his teeth.
Sabo used his intangibility Logia ability to phase through attacks from Rukia and Tetsutetsu.
"Sorry. But no cigar." Sabo said.
Rukia growled, while Tetsutetsu snickered.
Naruto was locked in close-quarters combat with Kakashi, but was kicked aside.
"Guess we need to step up our game as well." Naruto thought.
The Union continue their battle with Kakashi, Gaara, Kisuke, Jimbei, Sabo and All Might.
XXX
The rest of the Union's allies continue to watch the action on the big screen in the waiting room.
"This is getting intense by every minute." Rangiku said.
"They need to be very careful." Tsunade said.
"Has anyone Aika-chan, Kumi-chan, Eri-chan or Kon?" Koala asked.
"They said they're getting some sandwiches to eat. Sanji left it for them before he left." Rangiku replied.
XXX
"I can't believe we went back to get sandwiches when we're missing the action!" Aika hollered, as she, Eri, Kumi and Kon are running from the kitchen to reach the second floor by taking the stairs.
"Yeah. But we can't let these sandwiches go to waste Uncle Sanji made." Eri explained.
"Can someone explain to be why I'm hanging by Kumi's teeth?!" Kon asked, in an angry manner as the Akita pup was holding Kon by her teeth.
"I don't trust you with either Aikia or Eri alone, you little creep!" Kumi hollered.
"I SHOULD REPORT YOU FOR TOY ABUSE!" Kon shouted, a red tick mark appearing on his forehead.

A few minutes later…
"There you four are!" Lucky hollered, or barked.
"We're sorry for being late!" Eri hollered.
"It's okay." Aizawa said.
"How's everyone doing?" Aika asked.
"Unfortanetly… poorly." Rangiku replied.
Proving the Squad 10 lieutenant's point, the people in the waiting room sees most of the Union backed into a corner against Kakashi and the others as most of them were sitting out after being defeated.
Only Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Luffy, Blizzard, Zoro, Sanji, Izuku, Bakugo, Shoto, Tokoyami, Mirio, Nejire and Tamaki continued to hold strong.
"WHAT THE?! They're getting crushed!" Kumi exclaimed.
"My poor Rukia!" Kon hollered, comically crying before being silenced by Rangiku.
"They would've known to not be this easy. But they must surpass their limits to overcome this." Aizawa explained.

The battle raged on as the remaining Union members were getting overpowered by Kakashi, Gaara, Kisuke, Jimbei, Sabo and All Might.
"Don't tell us that's all you got?" Gaara asked.
"Shit…" Ichigo muttered.
"We need to think of something… or else we're through!" Blizzard thought.
"We're… not finished yet!" Izuku hollered.
"Out of respect for your courage…" All Might said.
"We'll unleash our favorite moves to show our strength." Kisuke explained.
"Here they come!" Sasuke hollered.
"Watch out!" Rukia hollered.
"Lightning Blade!" Kakashi shouted.
"Sand Shower!" Gaara shouted.
"Scream, Benihime!" Kisuke shouted.
"Arabesque Brick Fist!" Jimbei shouted.
"Fire Fist!" Sabo shouted.
"Detroit Smash!" All Might shouted.
Combining their attacks, the six authority figures overwhelmed the Union's mightiest with sheer strength.
Now there was only Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Ichigo, Luffy, Blizzard, Zoro, Izuku and Mirio left standing.
"Don't count us out yet." Naruto said.
"We're far from done!" Naruto hollered.
"That's right." Hinata and Ichigo said in unison.

"Bankai!" Ichigo hollered, transforming into his Bankai state as a massive burst of red and black energy enveloped Ichigo.
Once the energy dispersed, it reveals Ichigo now wielding his Bankai, Tensa Zangetsu.
"Tensa Zangetsu." Ichigo said.
Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, Luffy, Blizzard, Zoro, Izuku, Mirio, and even Sasuke were amazed.
"Guess we better get serious too, eh Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"I don't need you to tell me twice, loser." Sasuke replied.
Naruto and Sasuke activated their respective power-ups, Sage Mode (as Naruto has already placed a shadow clone to gather nature energy behind a tree way before the match began) and Mangekyo Sharingan.
Feeling the flow once again, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Ichigo, Luffy, Blizzard, Zoro, Izuku and Mirio charged at Kakashi, Gaara, Kisuke, Jimbei, Sabo and All Might without fear.
The two Hokage, former Squad 12 captain, former Warlord, Revolutionary Chief Commander, and the Symbol of Piece are starting to become overwhelmed by their incredible resolve.
"Amazing." Kakashi said.
"Sage Jutsu: Rasengan Barrage!" Naruto shouted.
"Chidori!" Sasuke shouted.
"Cherry Blossom Clash!" Sakura shouted.
"Eight Trigrams Air Palm!" Hinata shouted.
"Black Getsuga Tensho!" Ichigo shouted.
"Gum-Gum Jet Gatling!" Luffy shouted.
"Bullet Fang!" Blizzard shouted.
"Three Sword Style… Ultra Tiger Hunt!" Zoro shouted.
"St. Louis Smash!" Izuku shouted.
"Justice Uppercut!" Mirio shouted.
All 10 combined their attacks to overpower their teachers, but they took little damage in the aftermath.
"Aw, c'mon!" Naruto, Ichigo and Luffy exclaimed in unison.
"Whoa! They're really tough." Mirio commented.
"Guess we need to kick things up a notch once again." Zoro said.
However, a huge alarm rang at the last second.
"Time's up!" Tsunade hollered.
Everyone soon realized the battle was over.
Feeling successful, the Union won because they were fighting a battle of lasting long.
"ALRIGHT!" Naruto, Sakura, Ichigo, Luffy, Blizzard, Izuku and Mirio shouted in unison.
Sasuke, Hinata and Zoro smiled in their victory.
Those that were defeated got up and felt the immense joy of winning.
Kakashi, Gaara, Kisuke, Jimbei, Sabo and All Might smiled at the growth of the children.
"These rookies have come a very long way." Kakashi commented.
"Yep." Gaara, Kisuke, Jimbei, Sabo and All Might said in unison.
Inside the minds of Naruto and Gaara, Kurama snickered while Shukaku growled in defeat.

A minute later…
Most of the Union were bewildered by what Aizawa told them… that those facing the punishment was a lie?!
"That was just a logical deception to make sure you all gave it everything you've got." Aizawa explained.
"A LOGICAL DECEPTION?!" Naruto, Ichigo, Luffy, Blizzard, Izuku, Orihime, Nami, Ochaco, Sakura, Ino, Choji, Kiba, Tenten, Rukia, Uryu, Renji, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Franky, Brook, Kirishima, Mineta, Kaminari, Mina, Kyoka, Nejire, Tamaki, Hatsume, Itsuka and Inasa thought in unison, totally shocked.
"Curse it all… I should've known…" Iida muttered, feeling ashamed he didn't realize this was Aizawa's deceptive nature to push his students beyond their limits.
"That said… this was also a test of your friendship." Kakashi explained, getting everyone's attention.
"I've heard some of you have broken the rules to protect others aside from my young ninja here…" Kakashi continued, making Ichigo's group, the Straw Hats, Izuku, Shoto, Kirishima, Iida and Momo flinch.
"But there's something I want you all to remember: in the ninja world, those who break the rules are regarded as scum." Kakashi continued.
"But… those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum." Kakashi finished.
The entire Union, as well as those who just met up from the waiting room, became stunned and in awe of hearing Kakashi's words.
The Hidden leaf ninja, Tsunade and Gaara smiled.
"I want you all to remember that from now on your comrades are priority one aside from the Elemental Stones." Kakashi explained.
"You are not just friends for this mission. You are… family." Kakashi explained.
Everyone became touched by that sentiment. Even those who are in different says what their hearts say.

It was now evening as everyone gathered in the Common Area to have a big party with an all-you-can-eat Japanese buffet.
The glutton group of Naruto, Luffy, Choji, Kiba, Lee, Kirishima, Kaminari and Inasa were pigging out while Usopp, Chopper and Brook did the peculiar (if not, vulgar) dance with chopsticks in their noses and lower lips. Everyone else were having petty brawls like idiots, or conversing normal like ordinary citizens as Iida tried in vain to calm down the chaos.
"Do these idiots know any manners at all?" Sakura asked, pinching the bridge of her nose in irritation.
"Afraid they don't." Nami replied.
"Nii-san's silly as ever." Aika said, making Nami smile and pat her younger sister figure on the head.
"Guess they're all having fun as ever." Toshinori commented, having came out of his All Might form and back to his true form before anyone (aside from the young Heroes and Aizawa who've known All Might's weakened state since the Battle of Kaminoku Ward).
"If they could learn to clean up after themselves…" Toshiro and Aizawa muttered in unison.
"They are still children. They deserve every now and then to let loose." Kisuke explained, in an indifferent manner.
Aizawa and Toshiro grunted, as everyone in the Common Area continued partying without a care.
Suddenly, the Soul Reapers present felt a strange presence, as did Uryu, Orihime, Karin and Sado; Luffy, Blizzard, Zoro, Sanji and Sabo felt the same presence with their Observation Haki.
The atmosphere of the party died down when something became wrong.
"You guys sense that?" Renji asked.
"It's not spirt energy." Toshiro replied.
"It's coming from the back." Sabo said.
XXX
Reaching the backyard of the Heroes Office, a portal of energy appeared in the center as Kakashi, Tsunade, Gaara and Kisuke entered outside first.
They were shocked to see who's in front of the portal.
"Hey… I've seen this guy in this world's history of mythology." Kakashi explained.
"Yeah… that's…" Tsunade said.
"Heracles!" Tsunade hollered.
Exiting from the closed portal and collapsing on the ground with severe wounds is the legendary Son of Zeus and one of the most famous heroes of Greek mythology Heracles.
Everyone else quickly came outside and either screamed in fright or stood shocked upon seeing the mighty hero.
Why is Heracles here?! What's going on?!
Preview Skit:
Tetsutetsu: I can't believe that's Heracles!
Itsuka: I've heard stories about him. But to see him here…!
Robin: Anything could happen. The Straw Hats have been through that a lot.
Sai: This is very unprecedented.
Itsuka: We need to assess the situation quickly!
Sai: Agreed.
Robin: Once he wakes up, we'll get the full situation.
Tetsutetsu: And whoever did this to this manly man is gonna get my steel fists!
Itsuka deadpanned, Sai remains stoic, and Robin giggled.
Tetsutetsu: Next time: Chapter 7 - God of the Underworld: Part One!
Tetsutetsu: Let's kick some ass!
Itsuka: Settle down, Tetsutetsu.
Did you enjoy it? Kakashi's lesson to Team 7 is now becoming a philosophy to the Union when the real mission begins! As a family, their safety aside from the stones becomes a very serious priority. To all, no mission is worth sacrificing your comrades, and it's more cruel than death as those who die before their friends is cruel.
