Chapter 8

The Other Enemy (もうひとつの敵, Mō Hitotsu no Teki) is the 8th chapter of the Hunter × Hunter manga, written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi.

Synopsis
As Satotz continues his explanation, a man who claims himself to be the real examiner appears. He tells everyone that Satotz is a fake, and is one of the Man-Faced Apes living in the forest. With this, the candidates become confused. Suddenly, two sets of cards fly towards the two examiners. The new man is killed immediately as 3 cards stick into his head while Satotz catches all the cards. It turns out to be Hisoka who has just attacked both of them to clear the confusion, because a real Hunter can block such a simple attack.

They continue their way to the second exam site through the swamp with only 311 candidates remaining. This is another marathon. As they keep running, the fog gets thicker by each second which makes it harder to see. Killua tells Gon that they should move further ahead, away from Hisoka, because he feels that Hisoka wants to kill someone and will make use of the thick fog to do so.

A good number of candidates then get tricked by the creatures in the forest while Gon, Kurapika, Leorio and some other candidates are attacked by Hisoka.
