Naruto meets Yugi: Ninja and Duelist Chaos

By: DJ Rodriguez and Saiyan Moon Goddess

(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! Sorry again for the immense delay! Just been a bit of a lazy ass, but I believe I got my creative energy back.

Saiyan Moon Goddess: Many were starting to worry if this was going to be abandoned.

DJ: Not a chance in Hell! I just needed a kick-start, and some movies that opened up recently have gotten my creative juices flowing again.

Saiyan Moon Goddess: Any case, time to give this story a serious kick in the ass! Time for some action!

We do not own Yugioh, Naruto, and any other characters that we used here. Now on with the fanfic!)

Chapter 24

Naruto was facing off against what seemed to be a very formidable beast. He had seen and fought many a strange and powerful foe before, but this one seemed to take the cake. 'Damn! It maybe a Duel Monster card, but it's really freaky! Almost as bad when seeing Gaara transforming all the way back on the last Gennin Exam!' he thought. The blonde shinobi quickly regained himself and started to analyze the situation.

"Let's see… I still got Goblin Attack Force and Master Kyonshee. My goblins automatically went into Defense mode after my turn ended, so my Life Points are safe. But my zombie guy… he's in trouble!" Naruto said to himself. He had no other Trap card other than his Call of the Haunting, so he was in a difficult situation.

Odion called out to his beast, "Mystical Beast Serkit, destroy his zombie now!" The massive scorpion launched its pincers at the small undead martial artist, grabbing it and swallowing it whole. To everyone's confusion, the monster started to glow and on its back emerged multiple blades.

Odion declared, "You see boy, my monster has a unique ability. When it destroys a monster in battle, said beast is removed from play rather then going to the Graveyard. In addition, my scorpion beast gains an extra 500 ATK points." Now that got Naruto worried, along with most of the audience in the stands.

"Damn! I got to figure out a way to make a comeback before he takes me out for good!" the blonde warrior muttered to himself. His LP was now 8350, and the Egyptian's LP was still at 9350. Odion ended his turn, not bothering to put down any more Trap cards on his side of the field. Naruto hoped that he drew a good card when he did. Now his turn, he drew a card and smiled a little.

'Not much, but it'll have to do!' he thought. He placed a Spell card on the field, which was Pot of Greed. He activated it, drawing two more cards to his hand. Having a total of four cards, he started to check on what to do with them. Looking at his remaining hands, he started to come up with a plan to get rid of the large scorpion beast.

In the stands, Orochimaru was looking at the entire thing with interest. Since he was an official Kage representing his small village, he was immune from attacks. At least, for the moment anyway during the Chunnin Exams. He looked at the small young man sitting next to her, Yugi Motou, and was still puzzled on how he could house such power. 'From the reports I have gained, this young man has a power and ability that no one on this continent has seen in ages. Its strange that he is like he is, small and weak.' the Snake Sannin thought.

Deciding to know more, he turned attention to Tsunade though his eyes were still on the field of battle. "This is an interesting match you have decided to show us, Tsunade. Tell me, who came up with this game? This… Duel Monsters?" Orochimaru inquired. The beautiful blonde leader of the Leaf cast a hard gaze at him, but shortly put her eyes back on the field.

"This game was created by Maximillion Pegasus and Seto Kaiba, according to Yugi. However, there is much more to the game then what you see before you." she answered back. She felt a truth to her answer, since there was much more then Yugi or his Egyptian friends let on. Deep down, she knew that a much more sinister and deadly truth to the monsters, Shadow Realm, and even the Millenium Items.

However, Yugi and his allies were entitled to their secrets and felt that one day, she would be entrusted to the complete secrets they had. Orochimaru merely smirked and replied, "I see. Answer me this as well. I heard from my… trusted associates that little Yugi Motou here is called the King of Games. Care to enlighten me, Mr. Motou?"

Yugi looked at the Sound Kage, very much not trusting him because of his finely tuned sixth sense. He was very careful to answer him, "I was given that title because I defeated many opponents in the Duel Monster game, including the ones who created the game itself." It was true in a way, Yugi having defeated Atemu in his world before being sucked into this one, earning him the title of King of Games.

Orochimaru looked again at Yugi, and was still perplexed on how a child like him could defeat both Itachi, Sasuke, and also remove his Curse Seal. 'This brat… what kind of power does he contain? It is not demonic; otherwise I would have sensed it within him. It is… something else. I need to find out what it is!' he thought. The other Kages were having similar thoughts, but on a less sinister scale. They all wanted to see what Yugi could do, as well as hear more about this new game, Duel Monsters.

Back at the action, Naruto was on one leg and panting. He was not doing so well. He had tried to make some kind of counter attack, but Odion would simply use Trap Cards to negate his own traps and Spell cards, while his mystical beast continued to gain more power by destroying his defenses. His LP was now at 2000, while Odion was at 5000. Even though Naruto couldn't attack him directly, he compensated his disadvantage by using Spell cards and Effect Monsters that damaged his LP.

Naruto had four cards left, and he was pleased. He could finally initiate his plan! Getting back up, he took a firm stance against Odion. 'Damn! For a game, the attacks from the monsters seem real enough! Felt that scorpion freak's pincers when it slammed them on me!' he thought. The blonde warrior pulled one of the four cards out and put it on his Duel Disk.

"Ha! Now your monster is going down! First, I summon Lady Ninja Yae (Attribute- Wind, Type- Warrior, Level- 3, 1100 ATK/200 DEF) to the field!" Naruto declared. In front of him materialized a sleek and beautiful kunoichi, purple ninja attire with white leggings and bandages around her arms. A bright red, long ribbon around her neck in two streams, green hair and wielding a kodachi. Standing up, she looked to be at least Jounin-class.

Kakashi, as well as most of the males in the audience, whistled and cheered at seeing such a beauty. Of course, all paid for it including the Copycat ninja with a huge SMACK on the back of the heads from their girlfriends or wives. Jiraiya got smacked down by Tsunade, digging him about a four-foot impression deep in the ground.

"I'm not finished yet! I equip her with Fuhma Shuriken! It increases her ATK points by 700 points!" the holder of Kyuubi declared. In the kunoichi's right hand appeared a gigantic shuriken, similar to the ones that real shinobi used. Sasuke recognized it because he used something similar against Zabuza Momochi back in Wave.

Odion laughed and stated "You must be a true knucklehead that everyone states! Your kunoichi's ATK points are only at a mere 1800. My Mystical Beast Serkit is still more powerful, with an ATK of 4000. How can you possibly destroy it with such a low power level?" Naruto merely smirked at Odion, seeing that the almost bald Egyptian did not know about his monster's special ability.

"Let me break it down for you, Odion. Yes, Yae is weak. However, it's her effect that will let me win. You see, I realized that if I can't destroy your monster, I can get rid of the thing that allowed it to come out in the first place." Naruto started to say. He turned over one of his last two cards to show to him that it was a Duel Monster, Roc from the Valley of Haze.

"Yae's effect is this, to discard one Wind-attribute monster from my hand to the Graveyard. After that, all of your Spell and Trap cards go back into your hand!" Naruto declared. With his card now in the Graveyard, Yae started to glow a bright silver color! She made a hand gesture and wind whipped around her. She shot her hand out towards Odion, and the tunnel of wind shifted and surrounded him.

The audience raised their hands to protect their faces, the wind actually real! Odion grunted as he saw his cards being taken off their slots and going back into his hand. He looked in horror as his temple went back to the ground, and his Duel Monster now flailing as if in pain. "No, my Mystical Beast Serkit!" he called out as the monster started to flop around like a fish out of water.

Naruto gave his famous foxy grin and exclaimed "Thought so! Without your temple, your scorpion can't exist without them! So when it goes… so does it!!" As soon as he finished that sentence, the massive scorpion started to glow with white light piercing from its body! In a few moments, it let out a final roar before dematerializing in a truly spectacular way!

Hinata jumped up and down in joy, very much happy that her Naruto pulled through in a brilliant upset. "He did it! Naruto-kun did it!" she whispered to herself excitedly. Most of the audience were surprised too, seeing Naruto pulling off such a clever move, especially since this was his first time playing the game. But they all knew one thing; Yae's special ability did not mean she attack, and Odion was now wide open.

"Ha! Now its time for my monster to attack you directly! Yae, hit him with Wind Slice!" Naruto declared. The kunoichi bowed to her master, and changed at Odion. The giant shuriken started to spin, and at its tips were tendrils of wind. Leaping high, she came down on a defenseless Odion! The Egyptian man cried in pain as the spinning blue buzz saw of wind slammed into him, reducing his LP by 1800.

Leaping back to her master, Yae and Naruto gave off identical smirks as Odion was on one knee. His LP was now at 3200, and his siblings were caught a bit off guard by Naruto's maneuver. "Sister, this is not possible! Odion has been trained since infancy to duel, and this Naruto character is a novice! How can this be?!" Marik inquired to his sister. Ishizu was perplexed as well, but Atemu merely smiled at this.

"It happened because Naruto believed that he could defeat Serkit, and when he put his faith into the draw, it saw him through. Didn't Yugi and I go through similar situations in past, hmm?" he told to his two subjects. Marik and Ishizu had the decency to look a bit sheepish at that, now realizing that Yugi and their Pharaoh did go through similar problems like Naruto just now.

Yugi was proud of Naruto, as was Tsunade and Jiraiya. "Heh, the little punk actually came through. He displayed something that all Chunins must have; a cunning mind and also using the right abilities at the right time." the Godaime spoke. Even the Toad Sage had to admit that Naruto's use of cards and thinking were good.

"Okay Odion, I place my last card face-down and I end my turn. Come on, get up and bring it!" Naruto exclaimed as he saw his opponent rise. The Egyptian man was mad, seeing that he was outwitted by a loudmouth punk. Rising back to both feet, he looked at his hand, which held now 5 cards, most of them Trap and Spell cards.

'Damn! I underestimated the brat, and it cost me my monster! I can't bring it back from the Graveyard, and my Spell cards can't be activated without a monster on my side of the field! My Traps are also worthless without a monster.' he thought. There was also the facedown card that was behind the female ninja, he had no idea what it could do or how it could affect the match. With no monsters to defend him, he was virtually wide open for an attack.

In a move that stunned everyone, Odion put his hand on his deck. He was signifying that he was surrendering! "I forfeit the match, Naruto. You have displayed courage, a never-say-die attitude, and also a cunning mind when pushed against the wall. You have earned this victory, my friend." he told him before bowing to the young shinobi, Egyptian-style.

The entire crowd cheered and Naruto took it all in like he did when he beat Neji in his first exam, shouting for joy and blowing kisses to all. Sakura had to giggle at that, seeing that her friend was repeating on what happened in the past. Sasuke merely smirked, but he also had some new respect for his former teammate. 'He actually did it. He actually won a game that required use of one's mind. Heh, miracles can happen I guess.' he thought.

Both players deactivated their devices, shook hands and congratulated one another, then finally left the field. Tsunade rose back up from her chair and declared "With this over, I now declare that the real Chunin Exam begin!" The cheering continued when the contestants for the exam walked in on the field. Many were young and eager to begin, wanting to show what they got to their people and superiors.

Walking back to the stands, Naruto was greeted by a warm hug from Hinata and some pats on the back from some of the Rookie Nine members, minus Sasuke of course. Yugi and his friends congratulated the young man, even Pegasus. Seto hung back, same as Sasuke. "You did it, Naruto-kun! You actually won!" Hinata stated happily. The young blonde shinobi returned the hug, which made him feel all warm and tingly inside.

"Yeah! And with this win, my position as a Chunin is in the bag!" Naruto exclaimed. The Rookie Nine were now pleased, seeing that their friend would finally join up in the ranks. The little gathering was broken up by Jiraiya, who actually came in to congratulate his pupil.

"I have to say squirt, you did okay. You actually made me rethink my decision in having you stay at Genin. A knucklehead you still are, but it seems that you have the mindset now to actually think ahead. Well, most of the time." Jiraiya said. That last comment made Naruto face-vault into the ground, him coming back up very red in the face. He was very embarrassed and angry on his teacher's comment.

"Listen, brat. With Orochimaru here, he'll try to lure Emo-boy back to his side." Jiraiya spoke seriously, earning a death glare from Sasuke due to the nickname. Jiraiya merely shrugged him off and continued, saying that not only would he try to gain Sasuke back, but also get Yugi as well. He suspects that the other Kages would do the same, to lure him into working for them.

Yugi firmly stood and said "I will not be swayed by their words or shows, but I will travel to their countries. Let's face it, the voice that sent me here said that my destiny is to be continued here. I need to know everything about this world in order to see what I can do, and just looking inside of scrolls and books won't be enough."

The shinobi and kunoichi of the Leaf knew that Naruto was right, even the Sannin saw the truth in his words. Yugi Motou and his allies were visitors from another dimension and universe, and they needed to know all they could in order to see what could be done. Before anyone could say anything, Temari emerged from around the corner and took Yugi from the group. "Hey!" shouted Ino.

Temari looked back at her, smirked and replied "I promised Yugi here a little lunch after the match, so I'm fulfilling that promise now. Bye, little piggy." With some kunoichi speed, the Sand-nin lifted Yugi into her arms and ran away fast. Ino was now seeing and turning red, anger and total embarrassment on her face from Temari's little nickname for her. All the males beated a hasty retreat, not wanting to let her vent the anger on them. The females took their sweet time to get back to the stands.
