As of now, there are officially eight story arcs, with an unofficial ninth arc also recognized by fans.
Hunter Exam Arc
Hunter × Hunter's initial story arc is the Hunter Exam arc, where the journey of the protagonist, Gon Freecss, begins. To become a Hunter, Gon faces a series of peculiar and dangerous tests. These tests include navigating through a deadly jungle, hunting other applicants, slaying a wild boar, enduring an extraordinarily long underground marathon, and showcasing his culinary skills by making sushi.
Throughout the Hunter Exam, Gon forms friendships with three other applicants: Kurapika, Killua, and Leorio. Amongst the applicants, Gon also encounters the first antagonist, a complex and enigmatic villain named Hisoka. Hisoka uses playing cards as weapons and takes an interest in Gon, seeing him as a potential challenge to be defeated in the future.
Meanwhile, Gon's newfound friend, Killua, faces a personal challenge during the exam when his brother, Illumi, compels him to abandon the exam and return home prematurely.
The Hunter Exam arc is covered in both the 1999 and 2011 anime adaptations as well as the manga. The 1999 anime version spans 38 chapters and 31 episodes, while the 2011 anime adaptation covers 38 chapters as well but is condensed into 21 episodes.

The "Dark Continent Expedition" arc continues the story after the "13th Hunter Chairman Election" arc. It revolves around the ambitious and dangerous expedition to the forbidden Dark Continent, a mysterious and uncharted land filled with perilous creatures, ancient civilizations, and unknown dangers.
Under the patronage of the Kakin Empire, Isaac Netero's son, Beyond Netero, spearheads the expedition. However, there are concerns and opposition to the expedition from various parties, including the powerful V5 (Five Great Calamities) organization. The V5 wants to put a stop to the expedition due to the potential risks it poses.
The remaining Zodiacs, the elite group of Hunters, take it upon themselves to try to halt Beyond's mission. They seek the help of Leorio and Kurapika in their efforts. Simultaneously, Ging, another member of the Zodiacs, joins Beyond's expedition party but also attempts to obstruct Pariston, a fellow Zodiac member, from interfering with the expedition.
As the story unfolds, tensions rise, and various factions maneuver to influence the fate of the Dark Continent expedition. Eventually, the V5 endorses Beyond and Kakin's project, and the Hunter Association is hired to act as a chaperone for the expedition.
