Naruto 5Ds: Shinobi Signers

Chapter 2: Blazing Malestrom Revolution

Today, we find ourselves back within New Domino City where we find ourselves with no other than Officer Trudge pacing around like a caged animal as an officer telling him stuff.

Trudge yells out, annoyed, “Just cut it on, Dean! Do you have any clues on who did this?!”

The Sector Security officer replies, nervously, “No, sir.”

Trudge screams out, angrily, “Then find a clue, damn it! I don’t care what it takes! I want to find to piece of gutter trash that did this crime right now!”

The officer replies, nervously, “Yes, sir!” The officer runs off before Trudge gets even angrier at him while we find Mina Simington crying her eyes out.

Mina says, wiping her tears, “How can something like this happen? Jack-sama and the others protected and saved the world.”

Trudge says, with a serious tone, “The scum wanted the power of the Crimson Dragon, Mina-chan! It is the only possibility! You and I know all too well the power of that huge creature!” Trudge says, with a snarl, “Yusei and I may have had our difference, but he and the others NEVER EVER deserved such a fate! They deserved a happy life! And I swear that I will find the piece of gutter trash that did this if it is the last thing that I do!”

Mina asks Trudge, “But what about Ryu and Ayane?”

Trudge tells Mina, “Their bodies weren’t there, Mina-chan. We can only hope that they are alive.” Trudge goes over to a phone, dials a number, and he talks into the phone, activating an intercom system, “Now hear this everyone! This is Commander Trudge! As you know, sometime ago, the greatest duelists and person in New Domino City were just murdered days ago! If it wasn’t for them, New Domino City wouldn’t be the city today and the two halves of the city wouldn’t be united as they are! And to be honest, some person friends as well. I want the maximum amount officers and detectives on this case! I want no stone unturned! We will find murderers of Yusei Fudo, Akiza Fudo, Jack Atlas, Carly Atlas, Crow Hogan, Luna, and Leo as well as Jack’s and Carly’s son! And we won’t stop until we find Ryu and Ayane Fudo! If they are still alive, they will be found! That’s all everyone!”

After Trudge turned off the intercom, Mina asks Trudge, “But how will we find them, Trudge?”

Trudge tells them, “If they are still alive, we will. I know Yusei all too well, Mina. If his children has his best qualities, they will find a way to survive and if they have made friends with good people, all the better.” Trudge says, looking at the window of his office, “Yusei, I’ll find your kids and bring them home. It is the least that I can do for you and Akiza. And I will get you justice. I just hope and pray that Ryu and Ayane are safe.

(Joining up with the Fudo twins; Around a day or two after leaving Wave)

Right now, we find ourselves within some kind office where we find Kakashi Hatake and the Fudo twins, Ryu and Ayane, in front of an elderly male with a few ‘liver spots’ with white hair and white goatee as well as wearing official looking robes. The male is sitting in front of a desk inside of the office with a large and long glass window behind him in which he is reading reports on his desk.

When he is done, the elderly male tells Kakashi, “While I’m not sure that it was wise to continue on, I’m glad that you have brought your team home. However, it was wise to add to the mission when this ‘situation’ came up. You and your team will have the Wave mission upgraded to an A-rank and you shall also be counted for completing an S-rank mission as well, Kakashi.”

Kakashi replies, “Thank you, Hokage-sama. But what about our young ‘Signers’?”

The elderly male says, with a smile, “Yes, indeed. But first, introductions are in order.” The elderly male tells them, “I am Hiruzen Sarutobi, Third Hokage and current leader of the Leaf Village. And you are?”

Ryu says, plainly, “I’m Ryu Fudo.”

Ayane says, with a bow, “And I’m Ayane Fudo, Ryu’s twin sister.”

Sarutobi replies, with a nod, “Twins, huh?” Sarutobi tells them, “We are firmly sorry for what happened to your parents and since it was ninjas from the Elemental Countries, we will try to find out what happened. However, for now, the person that saved you was wise to send you here. You can be assured that you will be protected as best as possible while you are here, young Signers.”

Ryu says, with a nod, “Thank you, sir.”

Sarutobi says, with a kind smile, “It is my pleasure and honor to help guardians of our world. Now, I need to speak with Kakashi alone. Please wait outside for his return.”

Ayane says, with a nod, “Sure, sir.” Soon after, Ryu and Ayane left the room and close the door behind them in which Sarutobi uses some kind of privacy seals in the room to make sure that no one can hear what they are saying.

Sarutobi tells Kakashi, “This doesn’t bode well, Kakashi. The death of their family and the ‘Signers’ that fought the returned Earthbound Immortals those years ago is a dark sign of things to come and since it was ninja that attacked them, there is someone in the Elemental Countries that desires the power of the Crimson Dragon, an ancient entity’s who’s power far exceeds the Nine-Tailed Fox. And it is a force of protection and life for our world and possibility, the universe. Great disaster comes if that power is ever abused. Those two are current the last of the Signers, but what gets me is that they only two pieces of the Crimson Dragon. The head and one of the claws.”

Kakashi tells Sarutobi, “Do you think that it is possible that the other three ‘Marks of the Dragon’ will be passed down onto new welders?”

Sarutobi tells Kakashi, “I don’t know, Kakashi, but for now, we will work on the assumption that there will not be any new ‘Signers’ until evidence shows us otherwise. Since you and your team were the ones that found them, they will trust you and your team the most. Until the Chunin Exam times, I am assigning you and your team to handle this top level mission to keep an eye on ‘Signers’. In order to help with that, you shall only take D-rank missions to ease that burden.”

Kakashi says, with a nod, “Good idea, Hokage-sama. However, the girl possesses that power that we have heard rumors about: The power of a ‘Psychic Duelist’.”

Sarutobi tells Kakashi, with a nod, “I understand, Kakashi. It seems to be a strong power within the girl and from what you were told, she has gotten it from her mother. And unfortunately, there are people in this village that would like to ‘replicate’ that power for our ninja forces.”

Kakashi says, nods his head and sigh, “Don’t we know it, Hokage-sama? But you know that Danzo and those civilian… assholes are going to want to us her.”

Sarutobi tells Kakashi, with a smirk, “The ninja clans won’t allow since they all respect the legend of the Crimson Dragon and Signers. They will revolt and make sure that the civilian council is dead before they allow that to happen.”

Kakashi tells the Third Hokage, “Once they know that they can’t do anything to the ‘Signers’ publicly, they will try to do things in secret. They must try to use Naruto to get them away from us, Hokage-sama.”

Sarutobi says, with a sigh, “True, Kakashi. For now, this information will not leave the room and you will tell your students to try to keep it a secret.”

Kakashi says, nervously, “That might be a problem for Naruto, Hokage-sama.”

Sarutobi tells Kakashi, “I know, Kakashi. That’s why I’m taking every precaution. There is one person in the whole of Fire Country that can make that those two are safe from the ‘sinister forces’ in our own village and his family has respected the ‘Signers’ for a long time since his family keeps a vital piece of the heritage of the People of Stars which has been a sacred duty for generations.”

Kakashi asks Sarutobi, “You mean HIM, Hokage-sama?”

Sarutobi tells Kakashi, “Indeed, Kakashi. For now, the ‘Signers’ shall live in your place until we can get them some special arrangements, but prepare for them to stay with you for the long term, Kakashi.”

Kakashi says, with a nod, “Right, Hokage-sama.” Sarutobi turns off the privacy seals and Kakashi leaves the room to return to the Fudo twins. Afterwards, Sarutobi starts to write something on a blank scroll and he put some kind of personal insignia on it. Sarutobi then snaps his fingers and a group of black clad ninja with grey armor as well as animal masks on their faces appear around the Third Hokage.

One of them, one with long violet hair and a feline mask, asks, in a female voice, “You call Hokage-sama?”

Sarutobi gives them the scroll and he says, with a plain tone, “This scroll is to be delivered to the Fire Daimyo directly. You are not to open it and this is top rank level mission. Leave immediately and get it to him within a few days. This is a matter of the greatest importance, Neko!”

The cat masked ninja replies, “Yes, Hokage-sama!” All of the black clad and masked warriors vanish in swirls of leaves to go on their mission.

Sarutobi looks at a picture of a person that looks like an adult version of Naruto and he says, “Minato, what would you have done? Personally, I know that you would be enraged for what the village has done to your son and now, a new danger seems to be rearing its head. Is the battle of the Crimson Dragon and Earthbound Immortals starting again since the Crimson Dragon’s warriors has been killed and new ones are taking their place. What evil is coming onto the world? You should have let me done the seal, but something tells me that I don’t truly understand what happened that day. Did the seal on Kushina fail? Or did something else? Something more sinister happen that day?”

(That evening; Elsewhere)

Right now, we are outside of the Leaf Village, a large village surrounded by massive wooden walls high as several story building or more, in which we find a figure looking down at the village.

The figure says, with a sinister nasty tone and male voice, “So, this is the place where all the evil that I know started? I’m not surprised that it is most unassuming ones! It is time to correct the mistakes of this time and ensure that this village vanishes from the pages of history!” As the figure heads towards the village, we can only assume that it has sinister plans for the village that our Fudo twins are staying at right now.

(During that same evening; Within the Leaf Village)

Right now, we find our blond haired ninja, Naruto Uzumaki, looking around in horror as he sees the Leaf Village in flames.

Naruto yells out, horrified, “What’s going on here? What’s happening?”

Just then a demonic voice calls out, “What do you think boy?!”

Naruto gasps and he whips around to see a massive orange-red fox with blood red eyes and nine tails in front of him and he yells out, “You! You’re the Kyuubi!”

The massive fox replies, “That’s right, boy! I’m free and you didn’t have to die to set me free! But now, it is high time that I take revenge on the last child of the ones that sealed me away!”

Naruto asks, confused, “What are you talking about fox?!”

Kyuubi yells out, strongly, “You will never know, boy! I can’t your blood stay here on this planet to threat me ever again!” Kyuubi prepares to attack, but then a bright crimson red light engulfs the whole of Naruto and Kyuubi in which the fires are put out. Naruto looks up to see none other than the Crimson Dragon above them.

Naruto asks, perplexed, “What is that?” Just then he hears the Kyuubi roar out in pain and he looks to see the Nine-Tailed Fox get sucked into none other than Red Dragon Archfiend. The Nine-Tailed Fox struggles, but Red Dragon Archfiend absorbs the whole of the Nine-Tailed Fox and then transforms into a deep red and black more demonic-like looking dragon. Naruto asks, stunned, “Who or what was that?”

Just then a male voice calls out, “One of the most powerful creatures in existence! The dark dragon of flames, boy!” Naruto looks to the source of the voice to see a figure with spiky hair and a glowing crimson red mark on his right arm that looks like a pair of dragon’s wings. The male figure tells Naruto, “Listen to me well! That fox fiend is going to get free and you are the only one that can stop it! Only the power of my dragon and the power within your very being can stop it! And it is not some kind of ‘bloodline’ or some kind of ninja seal! It is the power within yourself, boy! The fires of your spirit, the burning passion of your heart, and the inferno of your very being! You have been chosen of my successor since you hold the same blazing spirit as I do! Now get out that and show that overgrown kitsune the power of… Burning Force!” Just then the Crimson Dragon unleashes a bright light and Naruto yells out as he is forced to cover his eyes, but not until he sees the same ‘dragon’s wings mark’ on the figure’s right arm appear on his right arm! Soon after, Naruto wakes up in a cold sweat and he gasps for air.

Naruto says, stunned, “What a weird nightmare, but it… it felt so real!” As Naruto sees that it is morning, he gets to his feet and prepares for the day, but the ‘nightmare’ continues to play on his mind and he can’t stop thinking about it.

(Later that day; At Kakashi’s residence)

Inside of Kakashi’s residence, we find Naruto inside of a room that looks like it is a guest with two futons on the ground for beds for the Fudo twins who are living with Kakashi until permanent living arrangements in which both of them are in separate rooms as they try out some new clothes that Kakashi got for them yesterday with funds sent by the Hokage himself. On the while, Naruto is in the room and waiting for them in which Kakashi told Naruto of the Third Hokage’s orders in which he wants him to show the Fudo twins around today. Naruto then spies the dueling decks of the ‘Signers’ on the table, but one of them give him a ‘weird feeling’ and he can’t help himself to go over to them. He takes one of the card pouches, opens it, and takes out the cards in which he immediately sees the Red Dragon Archfiend (3000/2000) Synchro Monster card in which Naruto gasps in shock.

Naruto thinks in his mind, stunned, “This is the dragon from my nightmare! The one that swallowed the fox and transformed into a bigger monster!”

As Naruto tries to get his thoughts together, he hears Ayane’s voice calls out, “Naruto?!” Naruto yelps out and on pure instinct, he puts the deck into his pocket and closes the pouch in which he goes over to the side and away from the card decks. Soon after, Ayane and Ryu enter the room.

Ryu is wearing black muscle shirt with no sleeveless, black fingerless gloves, similar pants to Kakashi, and black open-toed sandals.

Ayane is wearing red Chinese style sleeveless shirt, black fingerless fighting gloves on her hands, black skirt that goes down to half-way of her thighs, and blue open-toed sandals.

It can also been seen that they are wearing their duel disks on their left wrists with their parents’ dueling decks in them and Ayane tells Naruto, with a kind smile, “What do you think?”

Naruto says, with a sight blush, “You look great, Ayane.”

Haku enters the room and she says, “Good morning, Naruto.”

Naruto says, with a smile, “Morning, Haku! Staying with Kakashi-sensei, huh? I guess that you take your job seriously!”

Haku says, with a nod, “As I should, Naruto. I made a promise to Zabuza-sama that I will protect the Signers and it is my mission to.”

Naruto asks Haku, “So, how did everything go with the Old Man?”

Haku says, with a smile, “Since I am an orphan and never got into any ninja academy, I am not officially a ninja and even through I was with a missing ninja, I am not a missing ninja, so, it was much easier for your Hokage to let me in.” Haku says, with a sigh, “However, this does have a feeling like I did back home, but this time, it is because people want my bloodline.”

Naruto asks Haku, “Really, Haku?”

Ryu tells Naruto, with a sigh, “Some people in what your leader calls the ‘civilian council’ wants to turn Haku-chan into a ‘breeding factory’ to create a clan of bloodline users.”

Ayane says, with an annoyed tone, “That’s so sick!”

Haku says, with a plain tone, “Worst of all, your Hokage warned me that they may want to do the same with Ayane-dono and her unique powers since they seem to have been passed down from her mother.”

Naruto says, with a sigh, “Yeah, I know. Those kind of assholes want to make the village into a bully that no can defeat and they feel that bloodlines and powers such as Ayane-chan’s are what they need. And I keep hearing the Old Man complaining about their methods.”

Just then Kakashi’s voice calls out, “That’s why those kind of people are dangerous, Naruto.” Kakashi comes into the room and he says, “Unfortunately, there are people that are just as bad or worse than Gato in our village. Unlike the Mist village, now, our village and plenty of other villages believe that bloodlines are power and they will find ways to get their hands on the most powerful bloodline by whatever means even if they are dishonorable. The thing is, there are those like that in the Leaf Village too. That’s why you need to keep a close eye on them, Naruto. Do you think that you and Haku can keep them safe?”

Naruto says, excitedly, “No problem, Kakashi-sensei! They are my friends! There is no way I’ll let get hurt!”

Kakashi tells Naruto, with a nod, “That’s good to hear, Naruto. I’m going to see Hokage-sama, but like I said before, our team will most likely do D-rank missions in order to perform our top level A-rank mission of guarding our ‘newest additions’. Ryu and Ayane need to get used to our village and we are the only people that they trust in which it is our duty to protect them.”

Naruto says, with a nod, “Right, Kakashi-sensei!”

Kakashi tells everyone else, with a smile, “I will see you later, everyone.” Soon after, Kakashi heads out for the Hokage Tower, which is the residence of the Hokage, leader of the Leaf Village.

Naruto tells everyone, “Ready to go on ‘Naruto’s Grand Tour’?”

Ryu says, with a smirk, “Sure, Naruto.” Haku and Ayane nod their heads in agreement and all of them head out for the tour of the village by our blond haired ninja not knowing what’s to come.

(Around the same time; Elsewhere in the Leaf Village)

In another part of the village, around the same time that Naruto, Haku, and the Fudo twins were taking off to give Haku and the Fudo twins a tour of the Leaf Village, we find ourselves with the figure observing the Leaf Village last evening in the shadows of the streets and roads of the Leaf Village.

The figure thinks in his mind, with a mental snarl, “These people think that they are all that! They are no better than the demons that they fear so much! They shall soon get what they deserve soon enough!” He then creates an image of Naruto and the Nine-Tailed Fox in his right hand in which the figure gives a sinister grin that’s so quiet that no one could even near the figure as he vanishes in a mysterious manner.

(Later on; In another part of the Leaf Village)

Right now, we find Naruto, Haku, and the Fudo twins walking to a good sized ramen bar known as Ichiraku Ramen Bar and goes inside in which we find a chef male that looks like that he is in his early 40s with a young girl in a female chef’s uniform who looks to be in her late teens.

Naruto says, excitedly, “And this is my favorite restaurant in the whole world: Ichiraku Ramen!”

The male tells Naruto, with a smile, “Hey there, Naruto! Who are your new friends?”

Naruto says, with a grin, “You noticed, huh? These two are Ryu and Ayane Fudo and they are twins! And this person with long black hair is Haku!” Naruto says, motioning to Haku, “She tries to act like a guy that’s being more ‘girly’ so that the perverts… you know.”

Haku asks, curiously, “What do you mean by a ‘girly guy’?”

Naruto replies, nervously, “You know what I mean, Haku-chan! And personally, between you and me, I hate perverts!”

Ayane says, with a giggle, “Naruto, you are guy after my heart!” Naruto rubs his head nervously and he says, taking out some money and coupons, “And it is my treat today since I got some cash and coupons!”

Ryu tells Naruto, “To be honest, Naruto, Ayane and I never had ramen before.”

Ayane says, with a sigh, “Uncle Jack, through, really liked ramen back home.”

Ryu says, with a weak smile, “Uncle Crow and dad would tell us about Uncle Jack’s ‘obsession’ with ramen and how it got them into trouble a few times through it helped out at least once or twice.”

Naruto says, with a smile, “He sounds like my kind of guy. I wish that we could have met.”

Ryu says, with a smile, “You would have got along real well. Uncle Jack would have loved a place like this.”

The waitress of the two asks Naruto, “Naruto, what’s wrong with your friends?” Naruto leans over and whispers to them in which the chef’s and waitress’ eyes widen at this.

The male says, with a sigh, “I thought as much.”

Naruto tells them, “I can’t say much about them since the Old Man has made an S-class order to keep who they really are a secret.”

The male tells Naruto, with a smile, “Our lips are sealed, Naruto. In fact, for your new friends, the first bowl is free.”

Ayane asks, amazed, “Really?”

The female tells Ayane in reply, with a smile, “Really, Ayane-san. It is so horrible that you lost your parents in such a way. By the way, I’m Ayame and this is my father, Teuchi, in which he is the owner of our little restaurant and Naruto is our favorite customer.”

The man, Teuchi, replies, with a grin, “And any friend of Narutos is a friend of ours!”

Haku says, with a nod, “Thank you, kind sir.”

Teuchi says, with a grin, “No problem, Haku-san.” Teuchi tells his daughter, “Ayame, it is time to get to work! Let’s give them our special!”

Ayame says, with a nod, “Right, dad!”

Soon enough, the two of them start to get to work on the order and seeing the father and daughter reminded the Fudo twins of their lost parents which gives them solemn looks in which Haku tells them, “Do not worry, we will find those who sent those men to kill your family and loved ones.”

Naruto says, with a smile, “They’ll get what they deserve and your parents will be able to rest in peace!”

Ryu says, with a smile, “Thanks, Naruto. You too Haku-chan.”

Haku tells Ryu, “It is nothing, Ryu-sama. As I said, I have made it my mission to protect you with my life.”

Naruto says, with a grin, “It’s no problem! We’re friends, right?! It is what friends do!”

Ayane says, with a nod, “Yeah, Naruto.” Ayane rubs a few tears from her eyes and cheeks and prepares to enjoy some ramen with her brother and their newest friends.

(In a secret location in the Leaf Village; on the meanwhile)

Within some kind of top secret location, we find the figure that has sinister plans for Naruto standing in front of a elderly male with shaggy black hair, bandages over his right eye, a ‘X’ shaped scar on his chin, white shirt under a brown robe which covers the left side of his body, and he has a cane in his left hand.

The elderly male tells the figure, “You have done well to shown your power, but do you really think that I can trust you?”

The figure replies, slyly, “With the ancient powers in my hands, I can do a better job than the Fourth Hokage of containing the Nine-Tailed Fox. You help me forcing the brat into a duel and you can have the Nine-Tailed Fox, Danzo.”

The elderly male replies, curiously, “What do you want get out of this?”

The figure replies, with a smirk, “Defeating the son of the Fourth Hokage will bring me fame throughout the Elemental Countries.” Danzo’s only exposed eye widens at that and the figure replies, with a smile, “I’m smarter than you think, my friend.”

Danzo tells him, “This must never be linked to me.”

The figure replies, with a nod, “This meeting never took place and I was never with you at all.”

Danzo replies, with a plain tone, “As you wish, but if you fail me, you will not like the results, my friend.”

The figure says, with a nod, “I understand, Danzo-dono.” The figure thinks in his mind, slyly, “Pathetic old man, you will be dead soon enough! And the rest of this filthy village will be joining you as I erase you from history!”

(Rejoining Naruto; Sometime later)

Right now, we find Naruto, Haku, and the Fudo twins heading through the village on their way to Training Ground 7 where Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura took their true Genin test with Kakashi to gain the right to keep their headbands and start their ninja journey under his teachings. After they were done eating, an ANBU arrived to inform them that the Third Hokage wanted them to meet at Training Ground 7 and not his office which they have to see to find out.

Naruto asks, curiously, “Why would the Old Man want us to meet him on my team’s training ground and not in his office?”

Haku tells Naruto, “The ANBU wasn’t sure how to describe it, Naruto.”

Ayane asks, curiously, “What do you think that it is, Ryu?”

Ryu replies, “I don’t know, sis. It must be important if he asked us specifically.” As they continue on through the village, Ryu and Ayane were noticing that the villagers were staring at Naruto with ‘strange’ stares, but Haku knows those types of stares all too well.

Haku thinks in her mind, “Why do the people look at him like the people of my home look at people like me? People with bloodlines? It can’t be that Naruto has a bloodline because people, here, respect and horrifying, crave and greedily want the power like mine! Wait! That strange sinister chakra that Naruto had used in our battle! Could that be why they stare at him with such hatred?! What is that chakra?!” However, Ryu also knows what kind of stares that many of the villagers are giving Naruto and wondering why they are staring at him in that way.

(At the same time; in another part of the village)

Right now, we find ourselves in another part of the village where we find ourselves looking at three teens around Naruto’s age and a puppy walking through the village.

The first teen is a male with spiky brown hair covered a furry hood connected to a grey coat, Leaf headband on his head, sharp black eyes, fang marks on his cheeks, canine-like teeth in his mouth, grayish-brown pants, and blue open-toed sandals. With him, he has a small white puppy with white and brown ears.

The second teen is male with dark bushy brown hair, pale skin, black glasses over his eyes, very tall for someone of his age, and he is wearing a sea-green/grey jacket that covers his mouth down to the lower parts of his legs and blue open-toed sandals.

The last teen is a female with short dark blue hair, fair skin, lavender-white pupiless eyes, and she has on a cream colored hooded and puffy jacket with a fire symbol on the left and right upper sleeves, navy blue pants, and blue-open toed sandals.

The feral looking teen with fang marks on his cheeks yells out, annoyed, “What a pain! Another boring D-rank mission! How are supposed to improve ourselves with these base jobs?”

The teen with the dark glasses says, plainly, “They are supposed to help us grow as a team Kiba.”

The female teen nods her head and replies, shyly, “Shino i-is right, Kiba.”

Kiba says, with a snort, “Whatever, Hinata. I just want to get out there and show them my stuff!” Just then the puppy starts to bark and Kiba asks, curiously, “What is it boy?” Immediately, someone that looks like the animal masked warriors that met with the Hokage appears in front of them.

Shino asks, plainly, “An ANBU?”

The warrior replies, plainly, “Lady Hinata, the Hokage wishes to see you.”

Hinata asks, shyly, “M-Me?”

The ANBU replies, with a nod, “That’s correct, Hinata-sama. He needs to speak to you on an important matter.”

Hinata says, with a nod, “O-Okay.” Hinata goes over to the ANBU and the two vanish in a swirl of leaves.

Shino says, plainly, “I guess there is something going on with her clan.”

Kiba says, suspicious tone in his voice, “Maybe, Shino. But Akamaru and I smelled something a bit off with that ANBU. He smelled pretty much the same, but something smelled off.” Akamaru barks in agreement with Kiba and Shino’s right eyebrow raises up.

Shino tells Kiba, “I think that we should go to Kurenai-sensei with this matter, Kiba.”

Kiba asks Shino, confused, “Really, Shino? That ANBU didn’t smell too off.”

Shino says, with a nod, “I know, Kiba, but it is better safe than sorry.”

Kiba replies, confused, “Okay, Shino, sure.” Soon enough, Shino, Kiba, and Akamaru head off to find their Jonin teacher, Kurenai Yuhi, and explain what just happened here.

(At Training Ground 7; a good time afterwards)

At Training Ground 7, we find Naruto, Haku, and the Fudo twins amazed to see Yusei’s, Akiza’s, Crow’s, and Jack’s Duel Runners in front of them along with the duel disks of said Signers before the Fudo twins took their parents’ place as Signers and with Leo’s and Luna’s duel disks which have been modified to handle their adult arms before they died. With those, there are craters containing clothes and suitcases of Duel Monsters’ cards as the Third Hokage, a group of ANBU, Kakashi, and the other members of Naruto’s team, Sasuke and Sakura.

Ryu says, amazed, “These are the duel disks and Duel Runners of our family!”

Haku says, with a plain tone, “I can see why you wanted to bring us here.”

Kakashi says, with a plain tone, “They came here in storage scrolls with a mysterious message to give them to the Signers and they are in good condition. The message also mentioned to check just in case.”

Ryu says, with a nod, “I can check them out. My dad taught me all of my mechanical skills.”

Ayane says, with a weak smile, “You had inherited many of daddy’s skills while I had inherited mom’s powers, Ryu.”

As Ryu goes over to inspect the Duel Runners and Duel Disks, Sakura asks, perplexed, “What are these things?”

Ayane says, with a sigh, “Duel Disks are devices that we use to play Duel Monsters. It creates holograms, what you can say technology created illusions, to play Duel Monsters.”

Sasuke tells Ayane, “Those monsters that you brought out weren’t illusions.”

Kakashi tells Sasuke, “That’s because of her powers, Sasuke. She has the ability to make attacks from these ‘illusions’ to become real. It is unique power held by people known as ‘Psychic Duelists’ since that kind of ability seems a form of telekinesis, which is usually moving objects with your mind, but it can be cover a range of ‘mental powers’.”

Sakura asks, curiously, “So, people in the outside world play Duel Monsters with these technology created illusions? Does it make the game more exciting?”

Ryu says, with a smile, “I think that we can show you. Our duel disks work very well, but then again, Duel Disks are supposed to work anywhere on the planet these days.”

Ayane says, with a nod, “That’s a good idea, Ryu!”

Haku tells Ryu, “Ryu-sama, maybe you should check out all of this to make sure that there is nothing wrong. This person that sent this might have feared them to be tampered with.”

Ryu says, displaying his duel disk, “My duel disk is working just fine and Ayane’s duel disk too. We can duel ourselves and show you how we play Duel Monsters in the outside world.”

Naruto asks, amazed, “Really?”

Ayane says, with a kind smile, “Sure, Naruto.” But then Kiba, Shino, and a beautiful young in her late 20s with long black hair, red eyes, purple eye-liner over her eyes, deep red colored lips, and her clothes is unusual with what looks like bandages over a red blouse with only the right arm visible, Leaf headband on her head, and blue open-toed sandals revealing her red colored toenails.

Kakashi asks the woman, surprised, “Kurenai, what are you doing here?”

The woman asks the Third Hokage, “Hokage-sama did you ask for Hinata to meet with you?”

The Hokage replies, surprised, “No, I didn’t, Kurenai. Why do you ask?”

Kurenai tells Kiba, “Kiba, you and Shino better explain what happened and fast.” Soon enough, Kiba and Shino explain about what happened and the Hokage and Kakashi gasp in surprise.

Third Hokage yells out, seriously, “ANBU, get search parties and look for the imposter and Hinata Hyuga immediately!”

One of the ANBU replies, with a nod, “Immediately, Hokage-sama!”

As soon as the ANBU leaves in a swirl of leaves, Naruto asks, perplexed, “What’s going on?”

Sasuke replies, “That ANBU that left Hinata was a fake, Dobe. She has just been kidnapped.” Naruto and Sakura gasp in shock and horror.

Kiba yells out, angrily, “Damn it all! I should have known, but I couldn’t smell anything wrong with the guy!”

Shino tells Kiba, plainly, “Most likely, the imposter managed to find some way to fool your senses through not completely. My bugs and I couldn’t sense anything at all, Kiba.”

Kiba tells Shino, surprised, “You were fool, Shino?” Kiba says, with a snort, “Just great! It must have been dumb luck that I sensed anything at all!”

Naruto yells out, “What are we standing around here for?! Let’s go find her.”

Just then a voice calls out, “There is no need, Naruto Uzumaki.” Everyone whips around to see none other than the figure that met with Danzo right in front of them.

Kakashi thinks in his mind, surprised, “How did he get past our senses? Not even Kiba or Shino sensed anything wrong with their clan abilities until he spoke up!”

Sakura asks, seriously, “Who are you?”

The figure replies, snapping his fingers, “This should answer your question quite clearly.” Just then a burst of flames appears and when the flames fade enough, they see none other than Hinata Hyuga tied to a post surround by flames.

Kiba and Kurenai yell out, shocked, “Hinata!”

Kakashi says, with a plain tone, “So, you were the one?”

The figure says, with a plain tone, “I had arranged her kidnapping, but it was only to get what I want. But first of all, allow me to introduce myself.” The figure then throws off a cloak that he was wearing to conceal himself and the figure looks like someone that’s a combination of Primo, one of the Emperor of Yliaster, and Paradox from the movie ‘Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time’ with Primo’s hairstyle, but Paradox’s blond hair, Paradox’s eyes and Primo’s skin tone, and wearing black and grey uniform of Primo’s ‘outfit’ with gold and black version of Paradox’s duel disk that has a dueling deck inside on his right wrist showing that he is a left handed duelist. The figure says, with a sinister smile, “Just call me Neo Paradox.”

Sakura asks, confused, “Neo Paradox?”

Ayane says, with a plain tone, “Daddy faced someone named Paradox. He was a time traveling duelist that tried to change history and dad had to go back in time to the times of Yugi Moto and Jaden Yuki to stop him before he altered history.”

There were looks of shock and Haku asks, curiously, “Is this thing ‘normal’ for your family, Ayane-sama.”

Ryu says, with a nod, “Dad says that this kind of thing happened to him and mom all time with the other Signers.”

Kurenai thinks in her mind, shocked, “Signers?!”

Neo Paradox tells them, with a sly smirk, “If you are thinking of trying to capture me or trying to get the girl out of there, don’t even try. The instant that I die, you come close to her, or try to even attack me, she dies instantly. And trust me, I am not bluffing.”

Kiba says, with a snarl, “You’re bluffing, weirdo!”

Neo Paradox says, with a glare, “Do you wish to try me, pup? I can assure you that I can kill her anytime.”

Kakashi tells Neo Paradox, “Fine, you aren’t bluffing. What is that you want?”

Neo Paradox replies, pointing to Naruto, “In order to get her back, he needs to beat me in a duel: A Duel Monsters’ duel that is.”

Sasuke asks, curiously, “You went through all this to challenge Naruto to a game of Duel Monsters?”

Neo Paradox says, with a sinister smile, “I can assure you, Uchiha. There is more to this than meets the eye. Now, either he accepts or the girl goes the way of the dinosaur.”

Naruto yells out, strongly, “Fine, asshole! No one hurts my classmates and gets away with it! I’ll take you on!”

Neo Paradox tells Naruto, “Fine, Uzumaki, but you must duel me the way that the Signers do. I believe that those duel disks are working. I will give you about half-an-hour to an hour for them to teach how to use a Duel Disk and then we duel.” Neo Paradox tells them, “No tricks. My body is one huge sensor and I’ve made sure that I’m ‘wired’ to detect anything.”

Naruto goes over to Ayane and Ryu and he asks, “You don’t mind?”

Ryu tells Naruto, “No way, Naruto! Let me check them out first!” Ryu quickly checks out his dead family’s duel disk to make sure that they will work while everyone else gathers around him.

Sakura tells Naruto, “Naruto, this has got to be a trap!”

Naruto replies, “And if I don’t duel him, Hinata will pay the price!”

Kiba says, with a snort, “Hey, dope! He has got to be bluffing!”

Sasuke says, with a plain tone, “Something tells me that he isn’t. If he is crazy enough to set all of this to get to Naruto, then most likely, he isn’t bluffing about trying to stop his plans.”

Kakashi says, with a sigh, “I fear that you are right, Sasuke.”

After awhile, Ryu says, with a sigh, “They all seem all right, but maybe you should…” However, Naruto takes Jack’s duel disk and points to it.

Naruto says, seriously, “Sorry, Ryu, but I really don’t have time. Just tell me how to use this thing to play Duel Monsters.” Soon enough, the Fudo twins explain about the Duel Disk, how it works, and how to use it to play Duel Monsters. During this time, there are many ninja and civilians gathering around the area.

Kakashi tells Neo Paradox, “Quite a crowd we are getting. I take it that you have something to do with this, Paradox?”

Neo Paradox says, with a grin, “I’m preparing a grand event in your world’s history and I think that everyone will want to see this.”

Just then an adult male with long black hair, pale white eyes, and wearing robes leaps down and he yells out, “How dare you kidnap my daughter?! You shall pay for such an attack on the Hyuga clan!”

Third Hokage tells the man, “Hiashi, stand down and that’s an order! If we kill this man or even attack him as well as try to rescue your daughter, he has made it sure that she will die instantly!”

Kakashi tells the man, “He isn’t bluffing, Hiashi-sama!”

Hiashi asks, seriously, “And what do you wish for me to do?” Just then everyone looks to see Naruto step out with Jack’s duel disk attached and he gasps as he realizes that he doesn’t have his own dueling deck with him!

Naruto thinks in his mind, stunned, “Oh, crap! I don’t have my deck with me! I left it in my ‘hiding place’ back at home!” Naruto thinks in his mind, “But then...”

Neo Paradox asks Naruto, “Is there a problem, Uzumaki?”

Naruto says, taking out Jack’s deck, “There is no problem at all!” Naruto puts Jack’s deck into Jack’s duel disk and Naruto thinks in his mind, “Sorry I took your deck, Jack-san, but if you are out there, I hope that you will help someone like me protect my friends and classmates including your best bud’s kids!” Just then strange markings that looks like the seal around Naruto’s waist appear around Neo Paradox and Naruto and surround them an impenetrable barrier.

Sakura yells out, shocked, “Naruto!”

Sasuke says, seriously, “He’s trapped!”

Kakashi and Third Hokage think in their minds at the same time, “Those symbols…!”

Naruto asks, stunned, “What is this, jerk?!”

Neo Paradox tells Naruto, with a smile, “Just something so those little people won’t disturb us.” Neo Paradox’s and Jack’s duel disks then activate, their decks are shuffled, and the life-points counters display 4000 life-points as they draw five cards from their decks.

Neo Paradox and Naruto yell out in unison, “Duel!”

Starting Score:
Naruto: 4000
Neo Paradox: 4000

Naruto says, drawing a card, “I go first, baka!” Naruto thinks in his mind, looking at his hand, “It is a good thing that I learned about the latest things in Duel Monsters including Synchro Monsters and stuff! So, let’s see…” Naruto says, putting one card on the duel disk, “I play Magic Hole Golem in defense mode!” Immediately, Magic Hole Golem (0/2000) appears on the field in defense mode. Naruto says, amazed, “Oh, wow! These are supposed to be illusions! They look so real!”

While many other people look at the hologram in amazed, Ayane asks, curiously, “Is that one of Uncle Jack’s cards?”

Ryu says, with a nod, “It is, Ayane.”

Naruto says, putting two cards into the spell/trap slots, “I end with two cards face-down.”

Neo Paradox says, drawing a card, “Is that all, Uzumaki? I think that you can do better or maybe you can’t.” Neo Paradox says, putting a card into the Field spell slot of his duel disk, “First, I play my Malefic Universe Field Spell!” Just then field transforms into a black and red version of the Milky Way galaxy and Neo Paradox says, closing his eyes, “And there is more. With this card on the field, I can have more than one ‘Malefic’ monster on my field!”

Naruto asks, confused, “Malefic?”

Neo Paradox says, his tone getting serious, “That’s right, Naruto. These are regular monsters changed by the negative and evil emotions of humanity that I channel, boy. In order to turn the evils of humanity against them, but then again, you know the true evils of humanity in this part of the world, don’t you, Uzumaki? If you have forgot, allow me to remind you!” Neo Paradox then removes a Stardust Dragon (2500/2000) Synchro Monster card from his Extra deck and yells out, putting a card on his duel disk, “By removing one Stardust Dragon from my Extra Deck, I play Malefic Stardust Dragon in attack mode!” Out of the earth, Malefic Stardust Dragon (2500/2000), a corrupted version of Stardust Dragon with dark metal wings, kneepads, and faceplate, appears on the field in attack mode.

Ayane yells out, “That’s looks like our daddy’s card!”

Ryu says, with a snarl, “More like a corrupted version of our dad’s Stardust Dragon, sis!”

Neo Paradox yells out, “Malefic Stardust, teach this boy the true evil of humanity! Sinister Cosmic Flare!” Malefic Stardust Dragon unleashes a corrupted version of Stardust Dragon’s attack that destroys Magic Hole Golem and while Naruto doesn’t lose any life-points, due to the monster being in defense mode, the explosion causes a huge amount of dust to be thrown and Naruto yelps from feeling the shockwave.

The Fudo twins gasp and Ryu yells out, “That was no hologram! That was real!”

Neo Paradox says, with a serious tone, “That’s right! Do you see how serious I really am? I can’t afford to lose this duel! Sorry, Uzumaki, you are a good person compared to the scum that live here, but in order to complete my mission, I must win this duel!”

Naruto asks, confused, “Mission?”

Neo Paradox says, putting two cards into the spell/trap slot, “You shall see soon enough, boy. I shall end my turn with two cards face-down.”

Sasuke says, with a plain tone, “His attitude has change. That whole ‘madman’ stuff was just an act. He is deadly serious!”

Kakashi yells out, “Naruto, this person is not kidding around! He is deadly serious! And his powers are anything similar to Lady Ayane’s powers, you are in real danger! You must take this duel like I told you to take our first mission! You must duel him with the intent to destroy him!”

Naruto thinks in his mind, “Easier said than done, Kakashi-sensei, but he’s right about one thing! This guy isn’t kidding around! I can see it in his eyes! He is deadly serious!” Naruto says, drawing a card, “It’s my turn!” Naruto says, putting one card on his duel disk, “Since you have a monster and I don’t, I play Vice Dragon in attack mode!” Immediately, Vice Dragon (2000/2400-1000/1200) appears on the field in attack mode. Naruto says, putting another card on his duel disk, “However, since I played him this way, his power is cut in half! But that was a Special Summon, so, I can Normal Summon Dark Tinker in attack mode!” Immediately, Dark Tinker (1000/1300) appears on the field in attack mode.

Neo Paradox says, with a smirk, “A tuner, huh? Nothing you Synchro Summon can stop me on my mission, Naruto.”

Naruto yells out, strongly, “We’ll see about that, pal! I tune my Dark Tinker with my Vice Dragon in order to Synchro Summon Chaos King Archfiend in attack mode!” Dark Tinker turns into two stars that turn into two rings that surround Vice Dragon causing him to be transparent in which a column of light appears on the field. Naruto puts a Synchro Monster card from the Extra deck on his duel disk and Chaos King Archfiend (2600/2600) appears on the field in attack mode. Naruto says, drawing a card from his deck, “Now, I can use Dark Tinker to take a look at the top card of my deck and see if it is good enough to stay on top or go to the bottom.” Naruto looks at the card and puts it back on the top of the deck. Naruto calls out, “And now, my Archfiend’s ability allows him to switch your monster’s attack power for its defense when it attacks! Chaos King Archfiend, get rid of that faker of a dragon!” Chaos King Archfiend moves in to attack in which Malefic Stardust Dragon’s stats switch from 2500/2000 to 2000/2500.

Neo Paradox says, pushing a button on his duel disk, “I activate my Malefic Stamina trap card!” Neo Paradox’s face-down card is revealed to be a trap card with a picture of monsters withstanding attacks from other monsters by some kind of dark aura and Chaos King Archfiend’s attack hits home causing to growl as he loses 600 life-points, but Malefic Stardust Dragon remains on the field. Neo Paradox says, with a plain tone, “Due to my trap, when any Malefic monster is attacked, this card prevents its destruction and allows me to draw a card!” Neo Paradox draws one card from his deck.

Naruto says, with a plain tone, “You are going to need it, pal! I end my turn!” Malefic Stardust Dragon’s stats go back to their original 2500/2000 with the end of Chaos King Archfiend’s ability no longer in effect.

Current Score:
Naruto: 4000
Neo Paradox: 3400

Neo Paradox draws a card and he yells out, putting one card on his duel disk, “I play my Malefic Parallel Gear in attack mode!” Just then Malefic Parallel Gear (?/?) appears on the field in attack mode. Neo Paradox yells out, “And now, I tune my Parallel Gear with my Malefic Stardust Dragon in order to Synchro Summon my Malefic Paradox Dragon!” Just then Parallel Gear turns into two stars that turn into two rings that surround Malefic Stardust Dragon making it become transparent. When Neo Paradox takes a Synchro Monster card from his Extra deck and puts it on his duel disk, a column of light appears on the field and Malefic Paradox Dragon (4000/4000), a huge black and yellow sinister dragon, appears on the field in attack mode.

Naruto yells out, shocked, “What is that?!”

Neo Paradox replies, “The beginning of the end, Naruto! When Paradox Dragon is successfully Synchro Summoned, I can bring back one removed from play Synchro Monster back to the field no matter what the Summoning Conditions! And I choose Stardust Dragon!” Immediately, the original Stardust Dragon (2500/2000) appears on the field in attack mode. Neo Paradox says, “And now, your monster loses attack points equal to the attack points of the Synchro Monster that I have revived and that twenty-five hundred!”

Naruto cries out, flabbergasted, “No way!” Chaos King Archfiend’s stats reduce down from 2600/2600 to 100/2600!

Ryu yells out, shocked, “He has no defense!”

Neo Paradox yells out, “Paradox Dragon, take out his peon with Chaos Wrap Blast!” Malefic Paradox Dragon unleashes a powerful blast of sinister energy that warps time and space causing Chaos King Archfiend to explode with terrific force and Naruto cries out in extreme pain as he loses 3900 life-points causing him to covered in burns and cuts. By this time, Hinata has woken up and she is horrified to see Naruto blasted.

Hinata yells out, shocked, “Naruto-kun!” She then finds herself bounded to the pole and she can’t escape. By this time, Naruto collapses to his right knee, but then the seal on his chest and the one on the ground glows an ominous red glow.

Naruto groans out, “What’s this…?!” Just then Naruto cries out as a sinister red chakra comes out of the ground and from the seal in the ground as well.

Kakashi yells out, horrified, “Oh no! This chakra!

Third Hokage says, lowly and shocked, “It can’t be…!!” The red chakra then starts to swirl and take form of a familiar shape.

Just then a demonic voice calls out, “At long last, I am finally free! Free from that little brat that you fools dare to compare to me!”

Sakura asks, fearfully, “What is that?” Soon after, the chakra takes the form of none other than Nine-Tailed Fox and he gives out a mighty roar of power!

Kurenai yells out, horrified, “It’s the Nine-Tailed Fox!” Nearly instantly, panic starts to set in and plenty of people began to run for their lives.

Kiba calls out, stunned, “But I… I thought that the Fourth Hokage destroyed the Nine-Tailed Fox at the cost of his life!”

Kyuubi replies, with a demonic sly tone, “Wrong, mortal! Do you really think that any mere mortal could destroy me?! The best that you mortals could do was contain me within a person using their body as a jail and that person as a jailer! The Third Hokage hide the truth about that day for you of the younger generation so my container could have a chance for a normal life. The Fourth Hokage couldn’t destroy me, he could only put into a ‘container’ of flesh and blood in which the human ‘container’ keeps me imprisoned within himself or herself! And the only person that would do is a newborn baby and the baby that he chose on that day is right in front of me! My container: Naruto Uzumaki!”

There are many gasps of shock and Sasuke asks, in a rare surprised tone, “Naruto had the Nine-Tailed Fox spirit inside of him?”

Sakura asks Kakashi, “Kakashi-sensei, this has to be some kind joke! Right?”

Kakashi replies, lowly, “It isn’t a joke, Sakura. It is the absolute truth. The Third Hokage made it a law for those old enough to remember this day never to speak of what Naruto contained. It was a chance for Naruto to have a normal life.”

Kyuubi yells out, “And what did it get him?! Nothing, but pain and misery! All of you called me evil and you do this to one of your own spawn, mortal?! Ha! You compared him to me and tried to kill him many more times than be counted! Does that little brat look anything like me?! If he was me, the instant that you attacked me, I would have obliterated every one of you with a but a whip of my tails! Like it or not, many of you, mortals, are just as evil or more so than I could ever be!”

Neo Paradox retorts, with a snarl, “Isn’t that a fact?”

Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Sakura, and Sasuke look at the weak Naruto and Hinata thinks, stunned, “So that why’s they look at him with such hatred and anger? Just because he had the Kyuubi contained inside of him?!”

Naruto says, weakly, “How did… how did you get…?”

Neo Paradox says, with a plain tone, “I learned much about the seal that the Fourth Hokage contained the Nine-Tailed Fox in and this battlefield is replicating the seal in which the Nine-Tailed Fox will be released when you lose this duel!”

Kakashi yells out, strongly, “So, this was your plan all along, Paradox! To lure Naruto into this duel and release the fox!”

Neo Paradox says, with a nod, “It was. But don’t worry, the boy will survive. Unlike other extractions of Biju from ‘containers’ like Naruto, he will survive the extraction through he will be weak and badly wounded.”

Kyuubi replies, with a demonic serious tone, “Not when I am done with him! It is nothing personal, but then again, it can be, however, I can’t let the blood of the man that sealed me inside of his child survive!”

Naruto asks, confused, “What do you mean by that?”

Kyuubi gives a demonic laugh and he yells out, “What I mean is this?! The man that sealed me inside of you is your own father! Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, is your father!”

There were tons of gasps and Naruto chokes out, “My father was the Fourth Hokage?!”

Neo Paradox tells Naruto, with a plain tone, “That’s right, Naruto. Your full name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, the son of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of the Leaf and the ‘Yellow Flash’, and Kushina Uzumaki, the ‘Red Storm’ of Leaf and Whirlpool.”

Third Hokage thinks in his mind, shocked, “How does Paradox know of Naruto’s heritage?!”

Kurenai asks Kakashi, “Kakashi, you were the student of the Fourth Hokage, is this true?”

Kakashi lowers his head and he replies, “It is true. Naruto is Minato-sensei’s son. His true name was hidden due to the fear of his father’s enemies coming after him. I thought that I was doing the right thing when I swore to secrecy until Naruto found out the truth for himself. That’s why I tried to protect him all this time as Inu in the ANBU. He is my sensei’s true legacy and I had to protect him as best as I could through I could have done better if those… assholes in the civilian council kept trying to stop the Third Hokage-sama and I at every turn.”

Kyuubi says, with a demonic sly sneer, “Ha, foolish mortal! That didn’t work out too well, did it?! If you people would have been smarter and seen that this boy was my container and didn’t compare this weakling child of the Fourth Hokage to me, you wouldn’t be in this mess! He might have been strong enough to deal with opponent like Paradox here who wants to free me! Instead, you villagers took out your pain and misery on him and didn’t give him the strength not knowing while you were praising the Fourth Hokage, you have been spitting on his face and the face of his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, by hurting their child! You piece of trash beings betray even your own words! At least, I am honest about what I do, mortals!” Kyuubi says, looking at Naruto, “And when Paradox is done, I shall be soon rid of the Uzumaki clan last heir! And then there will be no one to threaten me other than the Uchiha especially that piece of trash, Madara Uchiha!”

Naruto asks, confused, “What do you mean?”

Kyuubi says, with a demonic sly tone, “Since you are going to die even through my extraction won’t kill you, I will tell you, boy. You are the last of a clan that has been keeping contained for half a century since the day that Madara Uchiha fought the First Hokage all those years ago! You see, Madara Uchiha gained a powerful Sharingan known as the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan which has power, which I hate to admit, can control even me. He used me against the First Hokage in the Valley of Ends, but the First Hokage’s Wood Style allowed him to weak and contain me costing Madara his victory! Then a member of the clan that you are descendant from, the Uzumaki clan, a female member, sealed me within her to prevent Madara from getting me!”

There are plenty of gasps and Naruto asks, weakly, “Wait, fox! You mean that I’m not the first to contain you!”

Kyuubi replies, with a demonic sly tone, “That’s right, boy. You are only my THIRD container and here is a surprising fact: My second ‘container’ was your mother, Kushina Uzumaki!”

There are gasps of shock and Kakashi yells out, “Kushina-sama was a ‘container’ of the Nine-Tailed Fox?!”

Kyuubi says, with a demonic sly tone, “Ask the Old Man that you call the Third Hokage over there. He is one of the few still around that knew the truth.”

When there are plenty of people looking at Third Hokage, he says, with a sigh, “It is indeed the truth, but like her predecessor, this fact was concealed expect from those closest to her and a few others. My wife, who died on that horrible day, knew this fact. We didn’t want anyone coming after Kushina to use the Nine-Tailed Fox’s power for their own evil ends as Madara did so long ago. The Uzumaki clan from Whirlpool were a legendary clan known as ‘The Clan of Longevity’ since they had powerful life-forces giving them long lives, some of whom lived for over one hundred years, and enhanced stamina and such. They were also the best in the sealing arts and the only ones that ever rivaled or exceed them was Jiraiya and Minato in which Kushina taught some sealing to Minato, but Minato improved on it with Jiraiya’s help. Kushina was chosen to take on the duties of containing the Nine-Tails from the predecessor in the Uzumaki clan. However, there was only one time that a seal was weak in a female Jinchuriki, those that contain Biju, and that time was childbirth.”

Kurenai asks, stunned, “Childbirth?”

Kakashi says, with a serious tone, “So that’s why Kushina-sama and Minato-sensei vanished before the fox attacked the village? But that means since the fox attacked the village…”

The Third Hokage says, with a plain tone, “My wife and some select and trusted ANBU and medical personal went with them and from what I know, the childbirth went right, but something horrible happened. I believe that someone seeking the Nine-Tailed Fox attacked them and released the fox from the seal.”

Kyuubi replies, slyly, “Correct, mortal! The instant that this gaki was given birth, Madara himself came to reclaim from inside of that woman’s body! Thanks to his accursed Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he still remains in this world when he was supposed to be dead! He fooled all of you to thinking that he was gone for this mortal coil! He threatened the gaki’s life and the Fourth Hokage saved him allowing Madara to take the woman away and rip me from her! Due to her Uzumaki clan blood, she was still alive and might have survived, if she was sent to get medical attention, but in the chaos of the battle, the Fourth Hokage battled Madara once he had sent me to attack your pitiful little village! He got me out of his control and the Fourth Hokage decided to seal me in none other than his own son! The reason: In order to keep Madara from getting me and two, he thought that you are some ‘chosen one’ from some prophecy. His teacher, Jiraiya of the Sannin, thought that your father was some kind of ‘chosen one’ destined to save the world and bring a new ‘golden age’ of peace like the Six Path Sage, who is in fact a real person, tried to do so long ago.”

Neo Paradox says, plainly, “Noble, but there was one flaw. The Fourth Hokage, one of the few good people here, didn’t see the evil inside of his own village.”

Third Hokage asks Neo Paradox, “Who are you, Paradox?”

Kyuubi tells Neo Paradox, “Indeed, entity. You are not like any ordinary human. You are a part of this world, but not of this time. You must be…”

Neo Paradox says, with a glare, “That’s right… I’m from the future! And I’m here for one thing and one thing only: To destroy the Leaf Village before it destroy the whole world!”

There are gasps of shock and Sakura yells out, stunned, “What?!”

Neo Paradox says, with a sneer, “Let me show: My world and your future!” Just then he creates an image to show forests on fire, cities that look like were destroyed by nuclear bombs, and desolate wastelands filled with horrible creatures of all shapes and sizes. Neo Paradox says, with a sneer, “This is the future that I come from and this is all the Leaf Village’s fault! It was the evil of its people that destroyed not only the Elemental Countries, but the whole world in the process. Humanity only served through the power of Duel Monsters and the ancient Shadow Games as well as all other ancient forces connected to Duel Monsters including the power of the Crimson Dragon, but not even that mighty dragon could heal the damage of the Earth that was caused by this place! So, the only one way to save the village is to get rid of this scum filled village off the map and with the Nine-Tailed Fox, it shall be done! All I want from the fox for releasing it is to get rid of this place of death and destruction to be wiped off the map!”

Kyuubi says, with a demonic sly tone, “You want me to destroy this village?! It would be my pleasure!”

Kiba yells out, shocked, “You’re insane!”

Kakashi says, seriously, “He may be, but he is completely serious! He truly believes that future he comes from is caused by our village and he believes that he is on the side of good and justice!”

Neo Paradox says, with a serious tone, “I AM on the side of justice, fool! And now, Stardust Dragon, end this duel and unleash the Nine-Tailed Fox on the world! Cosmic Flare!” Stardust Dragon unleashes its attack right at Naruto.

Ayane and Ryu yell out, stunned, “Naruto!”

Naruto says, putting a card on his duel disk, “Since you attacked me directly, I can play my Battle Fader in defense mode!” Immediately, Battle Fader (0/0) appears on the field in defense mode and Naruto says, with a weak, but serious tone, “And thanks to its ability, it immediately stops the Battle Phase when he comes out this way!” Just then Battle Fader makes sounds like Big Ben and creating sounds waves that negate the attack.

Neo Paradox replies, with a plain tone, “You are only avoiding the inevitable, Naruto! Once you lose your last life-points, this duel is over and Kyuubi is unleashed to ensure that this village dies and stay dead in the eyes of history!”

Kyuubi tells Naruto, “Why do you defend them boy?! After all, this rotten village has spat in the face of your father and mother and they have do nothing, but inflict pain and misery upon you! Out of everyone, you should allow this village die and pain for their sins against you! If you quit this duel and let me loose, I will allow people that treated you right live. However, I can’t say much for the Uchiha and your teacher. I can’t allow the Sharingan, the dojutsu of that accursed Madara Uchiha, to survive!” Kyuubi roars at Sasuke and this time, the Uchiha felt a level of fear that he never felt before even more than his first encounter with Zabuza.

Naruto says, with a serious tone, “Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei didn’t do anything to you! It was that Madara jerk!”

Kyuubi replies, with a plain tone, “Every Uchiha are just like Madara and this boy is no different. I can’t allow the Sharingan to survive.”

Naruto says, with a serious tone, “I can’t let you just run around and do what you want!”

Neo Paradox tells Naruto, with a plain tone, “Show me, boy! I end my turn!”

Current Score:
Naruto: 100
Neo Paradox: 3400

Naruto draws a card from his deck and he says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I play Monster Reborn in order to play Vice Dragon in defense mode!” Just then Vice Dragon (2000/2400) appears back on the field in defense mode. Naruto says, putting one card on the duel disk, “Then I play Dark Resonator in defense mode!” Immediately, Dark Resonator (1300/300) appears on the field in defense mode. Naruto says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I end my turn with a face-down!”

Neo Paradox says, drawing a card, “Is that all? Paradox Dragon, destroy his pathetic Vice Dragon now!” Paradox Dragon unleashes his attack at Vice Dragon.

Naruto yells out, pushing a button on his duel disk, “And I play my Mirror Force trap card!” Naruto’s face-down card is revealed to be the Mirror Force trap card.

Neo Paradox yells out, “I activate Stardust Dragon’s ability and negate your Mirror Force trap card!” Just then Stardust Dragon vanishes into stardust which wraps around Naruto’s Mirror Force and destroys it.

Naruto says, pushing a button on his duel disk, “My Shift trap card will change your tune!” Naruto’s next face-down card is to be the Shift trap card and Naruto says, with a sly tone, “This trap card will shift your attack to my Dark Resonator!” Paradox Dragon’s attack shifts to Dark Resonator and its ability protects it from the powerful Malefic monster.

Neo Paradox says, “I end my turn and Stardust Dragon return to the field in attack mode!” Immediately, Stardust Dragon (2500/2000) reappears on the field in attack mode.

Naruto says, pushing a button on his duel disk, “Not while I have my Harmonia Mirror trap card!” Naruto’s other face-down card is revealed to be the Harmonia Mirror trap card and Naruto says, with a grin, “Now that you played a Synchro Monster in a way other than Synchro Summoning, I get control of it! You won’t use the monster that belonged to Ryu’s and Ayane-chan’s dad for evil! Come over to the good side, Stardust Dragon!” Immediately, Stardust Dragon switches from Neo Paradox’s side of the field to Naruto’s side of the field.

Neo Paradox says, with a plain tone, “It depends on who believes that who is good and who is evil, Naruto. And what I am not doing is evil, it is to prevent evil from destroying this world’s future!”

Naruto says, drawing a card, “It’s my move!” Naruto says, seriously, “I switch Stardust Dragon to defense mode and Vice Dragon into attack mode!” Soon after, Stardust Dragon switches to defense mode while Vice Dragon goes to attack mode. Naruto says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate Synchro Gift spell card! Now, I reduce the attack points of one Synchro Monster to zero while giving that power to any non-Synchro monster on my field! So, Stardust Dragon gives Vice Dragon a boost!” While Stardust Dragon’s stats go down from 2500/2000 to 0/2000, Vice Dragon’s stats go up from 2000/2400 to 4500/2400! Naruto yells out, “Okay, Vice Dragon, get rid of that overgrown lizard!” Vice Dragon unleashes its attack on Paradox Dragon and destroys it in which Neo Paradox yelps as he loses 400 life-points.

Neo Paradox says, with a smirk, “Is that all, Naruto? Because now, I activate my Malefic Tune trap card!” Neo Paradox’s face-down card on the field is revealed to be the Malefic Tune trap card and he says, drawing two cards, “When a Malefic monster gets destroyed, I get two cards! And now, since you destroyed a Malefic monster in battle, I cut my life-points in half in order to play my ultimate creature! The mighty Malefic Truth Dragon!” Neo Paradox’s life-points are cut in half and when he puts a card on his duel disk, Malefic Truth Dragon (5000/5000), a huge golden and white dragon, appears on the field in attack mode.

Naruto yells out, stunned, “Five thousand attack points?!”

Neo Paradox says, with a plain tone, “That’s right, Naruto. I told you that I’m on a mission and nothing will stand in my way. It is nothing personal, but this duel has to end.” Naruto ends his turn in which Vice Dragon’s power returns to its 2000/2400 while Stardust Dragon goes back to 2500/2000.

Current Score:
Naruto: 100
Neo Paradox: 1500

Neo Paradox draws a card and he yells out, “Malefic Truth Dragon, end this duel and show this people the truth about their evil!” Malefic Truth Dragon unleashes a powerful attack that heads straight for Vice Dragon.

Kakashi yells out, horrified, “If this attack goes through, Naruto is finished!”

Hinata yells out, “Naruto-kun!”

Kiba, Sakura, and the Fudo twins yell out in unison, “Naruto!”

Naruto says, pushing a button on his duel disk, “I play my Zero Gravity trap card!” Naruto’s final face-down card is revealed to be Zero Gravity trap card and Naruto says, with a serious tone, “Now this card changes the battle positions of all monsters on the field and since your monster is going into defense, its attack is stopped!” Malefic Truth Dragon and Vice Dragon go into defense mode while Stardust Dragon, Battle Fader, and Dark Resonator go into attack mode.

Neo Paradox says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Trap Booster spell card! Now, I discard one card to play one trap card!” Neo Paradox discards one card from his hand and he says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “And now, I play my Final Attack Orders trap card! As long as this card remains on the field, all monsters must stay in attack mode and can’t change their positions!”

Naruto yells out, stunned, “Oh no!” Vice Dragon and Malefic Truth Dragon switch to attack mode.

Ayane says, shocked, “That means that Naruto can’t defend himself and once that attack gets through, his last life-points are gone!”

Kyuubi yells out, excitedly, “And I will finally be free! There is nothing that you can do boy! Thanks to this village, you have nothing of your father’s qualities in you! They didn’t give you a chance and I don’t get why you just let them pay for their crimes against you.”

Neo Paradox says, with a plain tone, “Since I already attacked this turn, I end my turn. This is your last turn, Naruto.”

Naruto draws a card from his deck, sees that it is a Pot of Greed spell card, and he thinks, very weary from this duel, “Could that rotten fox be right? Is there anything I can do? What if I don’t draw what I need? I just… I just don’t know anymore…” With the fatigue of the duel and doubt in his mind making him weary, Naruto collapses onto the ground and into unconsciousness.

Ryu and Ayane yell out in unison, horrified, “Naruto!”

Kiba yells out, “Get up, Naruto!”

Hinata says, horrified, “Naruto-kun!”

Sasuke says, for the first time feeling despair, “It’s no use. The Dobe is finished. He can’t take anymore of this fight since he has been pushed to his limits and without that ‘demon’ inside of him, he doesn’t have the stamina and healing ability that he had before.”

Sakura says, horrified, “Isn’t there anything we can do? We need to stop this!”

Kakashi says, solemnly, “There is nothing we can Sakura.”

Third Hokage thinks in his mind, solemnly, “I have failed, Minato… I have failed you and Kushina…”

Kyuubi yells out, with a demonic sly tone, “Look well, mortals! Your final defense falls! He was the only thing holding me back! If you had cared for him and honored the wishes of the Fourth Hokage, he would have had the strength to counter me, but all you did was weaken him and this is the result! He has no ability like his father and that means there is no one to stop me from destroying your pathetic village as part of my payback against your Fourth Hokage and your former allies, the Uzumaki clan of Whirlpool! And by the way, the Fourth Hokage may have separated my chakra into two parts, but I can feel my full power being returned! My Yin and Yang chakra are reunited and there is nothing or no one that can defeat me now!” Kyuubi laughs evilly feeling that his freedom and victory are near while those that were watching had feelings of despair and hopelessness feeling that there is nothing and no one that can save them from the Nine-Tailed Fox this time.

However, as we focus on Naruto, we go into his mind and we find him inside of a sewer where there is a cage that was supposed to contain the Nine-Tailed Fox, but there is only a strand of chakra remaining since the Kyuubi hasn’t been fully released.

Naruto asks, perplexed, “Where am I?”

Just then a voice calls out, “You are in your mind, my son.” Naruto whips his head to see none other than an older version of himself wearing a white and flame designed cloak under an outfit that Kakashi is wearing.

Naruto says, “Fourth Hokage… no, dad.”

The man replies, with a nod of his head, “That’s right, but I wish that you didn’t find out like this.” When the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, goes to his son, Naruto slams his fist into his stomach causing him to cough out as the air is knocked out of his lungs. When he regains air into his lungs, Minato says, with a sigh, “I knew that this was coming, Naruto.”

Naruto asks Minato, “So, it is all true? What the fox and Paradox said?”

Minato says, with a nod, “It is, Naruto. Your ancestor in the Uzumaki clan in the First Hokage’s time was the first Uzumaki to have held the Kyuubi within her and your mother was a second. On the day that you were born, a masked man came to take the fox out of your mom and he made an attempt on your life to do it. I saved you, but he succeeded in his plan. Your mother survived the extraction due to her Uzumaki stamina, but she did die in the end in which I used the last of her special chakra which was a reason that she was chosen to contain the fox before to aid in the creation of the seal. Jiraiya-sensei said that I was this ‘chosen one’ that’s supposed to save our world from a great evil and change our world forever, but I knew, on that day, you were the one and you were the one to stop that man because I knew that man, who the fox said it was Madara Uchiha, will cause chaos and destruction throughout the Elemental Countries, but the ‘Signers’ also make even more so.”

Just then another male voice calls out, “If you are talking about some kind of ‘destiny’ crap, give it a rest! If this kid is anything like me, he makes his own destiny like my friends and I did!” Minato and Naruto whip over to see none other than Jack Atlas in front of them.

Naruto asks, stunned, “Who are you?”

Jack replies, seriously, “Who am I? Do you people live in rocks?! Don’t answer that! The name is Jack Atlas! And that’s THE Jack Atlas, one of the greatest all-round duelists there is or was, boy! And one of the bearers of these babies!” Jack displays his ‘Mark of the Dragon and he yells out, strongly, “The Mark of the Dragon?!”

Minato asks, stunned, “The Mark of the Dragon? It means that you are a ‘Signer’!”

Naruto yells out, shocked, “Wait! Jack Atlas?! You mean Ryu and Ayane-chan’s uncle?!”

Jack replies, plainly, “Godfather to be more exact, but the twins called me that. But enough about me!” Jack says, pointing to Naruto, “It’s about you that we’re talking about! You are in the duel that has the fate of so many people on the line! Are you just going to lie down on the job?! You have power to seal away that overgrown fox and you need to get back up and crush these peon that calls himself after one of our foes!”

Naruto asks, shocked, “Me?! But I don’t know any great sealing jutsu that my dad does!”

Jack yells out, strongly, “You don’t need it, kid! All you need is right here!” Jack points to his heart and he yells out, strongly, “I didn’t need some kind of fancy ‘sealing power’ to get rid of that rotten demon, Red Nova! I may have had help from the Crimson Dragon, but I used the flame passion of my heart and the determine fire of my very being to seal that monster away! And you have that power too! The people of this village speak of a ‘Will of Fire’, guess what, kid?! You have that living representing of that power in your very being! You are my heir, kid! Now, it is time that you act like it!” Jack tells Naruto, “Tell me, Naruto! Do you let that rotten fox win and destroy everyone just to make them pay for what they did even through they rightly deserve it? Do you let your dream die here?! Do you let the hopes and dreams of everyone that you care about die?! You let the people that you consider precious pay, Naruto?! Do you dishonor the legacy of your father, your mother, and everyone that cared for you right here and now by giving up?! Forget about prophecies, ‘chosen ones’, and so-called ‘destinies’! This is your life and you chosen what you do! And you are also chose for others too?! Answer me, Naruto! It is time to make a choice! Do you become a coward or show these peons what you can truly do?! What is your choice, boy?!” Naruto is take back by surprise by Jack’s word and as Minato prepares to stop him, he hears Hinata’s, Kiba’s, Ryu’s, Ayane’s, Kakashi’s, and the Third Hokage’s voice along others in which Haku’s words ring out through his mind. Those images and all of those words renews Naruto’s strength as he lowers his head as a strange red aura, but not of the Kyuubi’s chakra surrounds him.

Naruto says, lowly, “No way… I won’t let it…”

Minato looks at his son in surprise and Jack yells out, “What’s that, boy? I can’t hear you! Shout out! Show the world who you and what you mean to do!”

Naruto screams out as the red aura blasts from his body and he yells out, “I WON’T ALLOW IT! I’VE COME TOO FAR! THERE IS NO WAY THAT I WILL BE BEATEN BY SOME BAKA FROM SO CALLED FUTURE AND LET HIM HURT ANYONE THAT I CARE ABOUT! MY NAME IS NARUTO UZUMAKI NAMIKZE, THE NEXT HOKAGE OF THIS VILLAGE, AND I WON’T BE BEATEN BY ANYONE ESPECIALLY NOT THE KYUUBI!! I WILL PROTECT… EVERYONE!!!” The aura then transforms into the mighty Crimson Dragon and the mighty dragon roars as Jack’s Mark of the Dragon appears on Naruto’s right arm, but there is also a figure in the shadows of Naruto’s mind in which the only thing can be seen is his purple-grayish eyes with multiple rings leading down to the pupil.

The shadow says, in a deep male voice, “At last…” Back in the ‘real world’, Naruto groans as he slowly wakes up and groans which catches everyone’s attention.

Ayane asks, amazed, “Naruto?”

Naruto says, “This duel isn’t do… yet, Paradox-baka.”

Kyuubi tell Naruto, “You confuse me to no end, gaki! These people have spat on the name of your family when they say that they honor them when they attack and try to kill you! Your father begged for you to be treated like a hero and they turn back on your father’s dying words for you knowing that they won’t forget the fox and figure out that you contained me unlike my other two ‘containers’! They don’t deserve you or your loyalty!”

Naruto says, with a plain tone, “That may be true, but if I just abandon them. If I just let you kill all of them, then I am no better than you, fox! And plus, there are people that cared for me and reached out to me! They saw beyond the fox! It is for them and my father and mother that I continue to protect this village! To protect them, to honor them, and honor my mother and father, who loved me so much! Dad transferred his memories into the seal and I know that they never wanted this life for me and wanted a loving family! However, this Madara took it away and I’m going after him! Not for any revenge, but to make sure that he gets the justice that he deserves and he never does it to anyone! And there is no way I’m going to dishonor my mom and dad or give up because I’m giving up on the future of everyone! Keep your so-called future! If that’s what’s to be, then I’ll change it here and now! For me, there is too much on the lie for me to lose! So, get ready asshole because you are going down! Believe it, Paradox!”

Neo Paradox tells Naruto, “Big words, Namikaze.”

Naruto yells out, seriously, “I’ve got this to back it up! I tune my Dark Resonator with Vice Dragon!” Dark Resonator hits his tuning fork and transforms into three stars that turn into three rings that surround Vice Dragon making him become transparent. As Naruto takes a Synchro Monster card from the Extra Deck, he chants out, in his own voice and Jack’s voice, “The ruler’s heartbeat will now file through here! Take witness to its creation-shaking power! Synchro Summon!” Naruto puts the Synchro Monster card on the duel disk and yells out, “Taste the power of my Red Dragon Archfiend!” Out of a column of light, Red Dragon Archfiend (3000/2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

Ryu yells out, amazed, “That is Uncle Jack’s deck!” Just then Naruto’s right arm glows and displays none other than Jack’s Mark of the Dragon!

Kiba calls out, stunned, “What is that mark on Naruto’s arm?”

Ayane yells out, “Uncle Jack’s ‘Mark of the Dragon’! That means that… Naruto is a Signer!”

Neo Paradox says, with a snort, “Do you think that this surprises me? In the history books, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze becomes a Signer after the murder of their parents and their fellow Signers!” Neo Paradox thinks in his mind, seriously, “But not this soon!”

Just then a voice calls out, “Then what do you think about this?!” Everyone looks to the source of the voice to see none other than the spirit of Jack Atlas appear by Naruto.

Kiba calls out, perplexed, “What the?!”

Ryu and Ayane yell out in unison, “Uncle Jack?!”

There are plenty of looks of surprise and Third Hokage thinks, “It is the spirit of the previous ‘Signer’ that held the ‘Mark of the Dragon’ that Naruto holds now!”

Jack or Jack’s spirit yells out, “I may be gone, but I will be sent into the netherworld of the Earthbound Immortal than give my successor and my godchildren a chance for a better future. You can keep your future, Paradox! The ‘Signers’ beaten Yliaster and their so-called ‘disaster future’ and my successor and my god kids will do it again! Okay, Naruto, show them why you are going to be the best there is around here! What it really means to be a Signer!”

Naruto says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “Now, I activate my Pot of Greed! This card allows to draw two new cards!”

Neo Paradox tells Naruto, “Draw what you like, it won’t help you! Even if you win, it means that the future that I’m trying to stop will come to past!”

Naruto says, with a serious tone and closing his eyes, “No way, asshole! I won’t allow to happen! If it means everyone has a happy future, then I will fight to create that future! I make my own destiny and your so-called future isn’t a part of it! I fight… FOR EVERYONE!!” Naruto’s eyes shoot open to reveal grayish-purple eyes with multiple rings leading down to the pupil.

Shino says, plainly, “His eyes…”

The Third Hokage thinks, stunned, “Could those be…?!” However, before anything more could be said or thought, Naruto’s right hand blazes with an intense and bright purifying flame.

Naruto says, strongly, “I draw!” Naruto then draws two cards and he creates a shockwave from drawing these two cards.

Kyuubi yells out, confused, “What is this power? Where did you get this power?!”

Naruto says, putting one card on his duel disk, “You are going to find out, fox! Since I have a level eight Synchro Monster, I can Special Summon Creation Resonator from my hand!” Immediately, Creation Resonator (800/600) appears on the field in attack mode. Naruto says, putting one more card on his duel disk, “And then I play another Tuner monster, Attack Gainer, in attack mode!” Soon after, Attack Gainer (0/0) appears on the field in attack mode.

Neo Paradox asks, perplexed, “What’s the point, boy?” Neo Paradox then gasps and he says, realizing, “It can’t be! You never had THAT power in my future!”

Naruto yells out, “I Double Tune my Creation Resonator and Attack Gainer with Red Dragon Archfiend!”

Sakura asks, perplexed, “Double Tuning?!”

Ryu and Ayane thinks in their minds at the same time, “Could Naruto be…?!” On the meanwhile, Creation Resonator and Attack Gainer turn into blazing rings that surround Red Dragon Archfiend.

Immediately, Naruto is surrounded by a crimson red glow and he yells out, “Get ready, fox! You are going back and your power is going to be mine forever! You are never getting out ever again!” Soon after, the seal appears around Naruto’s waist, but it then transforms into a brand new seal with a yellow chakra shroud around his body with a spiral in his right hand that’s connected by ‘links’ leads down to a spiral around his chest in which the ‘links’ go down to his eyes as well as six magmata around his neck, but there is also a bright complete Crimson Dragon mark, all five ‘Marks of the Dragon’ connected to the body of the Crimson Dragon, around the spiral around his waist.

Neo Paradox calls out, stunned, “It is! It is the power of the legendary Signer, the one that sealed away Red Nova, the most powerful of the Earthbound Immortals!”

Kyuubi gasps in horror and he yells out, knowing what is happening, “No, brat! I won’t let my power be taken from me! And not by a little boy like you!” Kyuubi lashes out with his claw at Naruto, but he is stopped an intense crimson light that takes the form of the Crimson Dragon!

Neo Paradox, Ryu, Ayane, Kakashi, Third Hokage, and Hiashi yell out in unison, “The Crimson Dragon!”

The Crimson Dragon gives out a mighty roar and Kyuubi roars out, “Crimson Dragon! How dare you interfere?!” But then Kyuubi notices his own chakra body being sucked away and he looks to see Red Dragon Archfiend sucking up its body and chakra into itself. Kyuubi roars out as it is been sucked inside of the mighty Signer Dragon.

Kurenai asks, stunned, “What happening to the Nine-Tailed Fox?!”

Kakashi says, amazed, “Naruto is somehow sealing him into that dragon!” The Nine-Tailed Fox struggles, but even with its full power, it can’t seem to break free as a card appears in Naruto’s hand with the same symbol as Naruto’s new seal appearing on it before becoming a blank Synchro Monster card. Naruto’s body, the card, and Red Dragon Archfiend glow in unison as Nine-Tailed Fox is getting sucked into the dragon which Naruto’s own body is reacting.

Naruto then chants out, as the Nine-Tailed Fox continues to get absorbed, “The ruler and the fiend, here and now, shall become one! A Blazing and Fiery Spirit! Lift up the very cries of Creation itself! Synchro Summon!” At that moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox cries as its spirit is sucked into the center of the seal while its power goes into Red Dragon Archfiend and Naruto at the same time in which Naruto puts the card on his duel disk causing him to call out, “Burn a scar through the earth, pal! Meet Red Nova Dragon!” Just then Red Dragon Archfiend is covered in flames and out of those flames, Red Nova Dragon (3500/3000) appears on the field in attack mode as the blank Synchro Monster cards transforms into that said card!

There are gasps of amazement and shock and Ryu yells out, amazed, “I can’t believe it! Naruto recreated Uncle Jack’s ultimate ace monster: Red Nova Dragon!”

Kakashi says, awestruck, “Hokage-sama, I can’t believe what I just saw.”

Third Hokage says, his shocked look turned into a smile, “Nether do I, but remember who we are talking about. Naruto has done the impossible! Without any sealing jutsu, he has separated the fox from its chakra and sealed its power into that dragon and himself! He has gained complete control of the fox’s full power!”

Neo Paradox yells out, perplexed and shocked, “How can this be?! It is said that Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze became a Signer, but never gained Red Nova Dragon or Jack Atlas’ legendary power, the Burning Force or Burning Soul! How can this be?!”

Naruto tells Neo Paradox, “It looks like your ‘history’ needs work, pal! I don’t believe in destiny and we make our own future! And I’m going to make mine and no one else decides it for me! However, I will honor the memory of my family! I don’t know that I had family, but now that I know that I do and knowing that my father was the Fourth Hokage gives me strength also I know that his spirit is with me along with the spirits of Ryu’s and Ayane’s family! Time to show you what a Signer can do, pal!”

Jack tells him, “You said it, kid! Now, take out this chump once and for all!”

Naruto yells out, “Red Nova Dragon’s special ability gives him five hundred attack points for every Tuner monster in my grave and since I have four… Well, figure it out jerk!” Red Nova Dragon’s stats rise from 3500/3000 to 5500/3500 and Naruto yells out, “And my Attack Gainer also drained one grand in attack points for one of your monsters when used in a successful Synchro Summon!” Just then Malefic Truth Dragon cries out as its stats are reduced from 5000/5000 to 4000/5000!

Neo Paradox calls out, flabbergasted, “But that…?!”

Naruto tells Neo Paradox, with a strong tone, “Enough to end this and you, asshole! If that’s going to be the future, I’ll change it! No matter what it takes, Paradox, but I won’t do it in the way that you are doing it! I won’t do it ways that makes me just as bad as the Nine-Tailed Fox or that Madara asshole that took my family away from me! I will forge my own path and make my dreams come true! And I’ll create a new future for everyone! Believe it, jerk!” Naruto says, with a serious tone, “Red Nova Dragon, time to end this pal! Finish his dragon with Burning Force!” Red Nova Dragon flies high into the sky, does a mid-air loop, and dives down as he is covered in flames.

Neo Paradox thinks in his mind, before the end comes, “Was my theory wrong or did Namikaze do the impossible and change the future?” Soon after, Red Nova Dragon blasts right through Malefic Truth Dragon and it causes a massive explosion that causes a shockwave that’s felt for miles in which everyone around minus Naruto yelps out while Neo Paradox cries out in pain and shock as he loses 1500 life-points, ending the duel.

Final Score:
Naruto: 100
Neo Paradox: 0

With the immediately end of the duel, Naruto and Neo Paradox are covered in smoke and Neo Paradox turns into golden stardust which scatters into the wind before vanishing while the flames around Hinata vanish along with pole that she is tied up to causing her to fall to the ground.

Kiba yells out, “Hinata!” Immediately, Kurenai goes over to Hinata and helps her to her feet.

Kurenai asks Hinata, “Are you okay, Hinata?”

Hinata replies, “I-I’m okay, Kurenai-sensei, but what about…?!” When Hinata looks towards the smoke, everyone looks to see the smoke fade and Naruto is there by himself in which he is holding his right hand in the air and pointing his finger right into the sky.

Ayane thinks in her mind, “That’s like Uncle Jack!”

Naruto lowers his right hand and he says, with a smile, “And that’s game, pal… I told you so…” Naruto then collapses down to the ground, but before anyone could say or do anything, Jack’s spirit reappears and catches Naruto somehow in which he manages to put him onto his right knee as the others come over to him.

Jack says, with a smile, “Great job, kid. That’s putting that chump into his place and showing who’s boss.”

Ayane asks, stunned, “Uncle Jack, is that you?”

Jack looks at Ayane and Ryu and he says, with a smile, “Who did you expect? I’m the ‘Master of Faster’! Remember that Ayane!”

Ryu tells Jack, “We miss you, Uncle Jack.”

Jack tells Ryu and Ayane, “Sorry about leaving you like that, but you should know that we went out fighting and took plenty of those goons with us. Your mother really did a number on them too. Sorry, but I can’t stay long here. Let’s just say us, spirit, can’t stay with all of you for long, but you need to know that all of us are with you.” Jack then looks at the Third Hokage and he yells out, “Hey, you! You are the leader of this place?!”

Third Hokage says, nervously, “I am.”

Jack tells Third Hokage, “I’ve been through my successor’s memories and I don’t like what I see! How can you let those assholes treat a kid like that?! And don’t give me any excuses! From what I saw, you are supposed to be the ‘supreme leader’ of this village, right? So, act like one! Your position is supposed to be and I quote ‘the most powerful ninja in this village! Well, you don’t act like that! And I don’t mean just in body! Your spirit is weak, old man! If you want to be powerful, then you need to be it in body, mind, AND spirit! And if you don’t give my successor what he deserves and needs and threaten the safety of the world in the process, when you die, I’ll be coming looking for you in the afterlife pal!” When Jack smacks his fists together, the Third Hokage cringes from the powerful stare from the Signer spirit. Jack tells Ryu and Ayane, with a grin, “Now, you two be good now and show these chumps what Singers are made of. And I want you two to be World Champion Duelists one day and follow in footsteps of me and your dad, got it?!

Ryu and Ayane say in unison, with tears in their eyes, “We promise, Uncle Jack!” Jack smile as his spirit fades away back into whatever afterlife he is a part of. Ryu and Ayane smile and wipe the tears in their eyes as Naruto regains his senses and gets to his feet in which his eyes open to reveal they are back to his normal blue eyes.

Naruto says, weakly, “What a headache…”

Ayane asks Naruto, “Are you okay, Naruto?”

Naruto says, nodding his head, “I’m okay, Ayane-chan.” Just then everyone hears a mighty cry and everyone looks up into the sky in which they see the Crimson Dragon!

Third Hokage says, amazed, “The Crimson Dragon!”

Kurenai says, amazed, “I thought it only a legend.”

Naruto, Ryu, and Ayane then notice their ‘Marks of the Dragon’ glowing and Naruto says, amazed, “Oh, wow!” Just then the Crimson Dragon vanishes in a flash of bright light in which the ‘Marks of the Dragon’ stop glowing in which Naruto rolls up his sleeve to see the ‘Mark of the Dragon’ part of his own skin of his lower right arm. Naruto asks, stunned, “Does this mean…?”

Haku says, with a smile, “I believe it does, Naruto-sama.”

Ryu tells Naruto, with a grin, “Welcome to the Signers, Naruto.”

Naruto yells out, excitedly, “This is so cool!”

Third Hokage thinks in his mind, with a smile, “Minato, something tells me that you know that your son has become a great person and I know that you are proud of him!”

However, Sasuke glares at Naruto intently and Kakashi thinks in his mind, “I don’t like that look that Sasuke is giving Naruto.”

Naruto yells out, amazed, “I can’t believe that I did it!”

Just then a male voice calls out, “You indeed did, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. And you have done well, young ninja.” Everyone whips around to see the cloaked figure that saved Ryu and Ayane on the day that their parents were killed and the figure says, with a plain tone, “You have shown much of the same spirit as any ‘Signer’ and burning heart and spirit much like Jack Atlas which have given you the legendary Burning Force power, the power of the legendary Signer, and his successor, inherited the wings of the Crimson Dragon.”

Ryu says, stunned, “I know your voice! You are the same ninja that saved sis and me and when our family and loved ones were murdered!”

The figure nods his head and he says, “I am glad to see you and your sister well, Ryu Fudo.” The figure tells the Third Hokage, “It has been a long time, Sarutobi, my old friend. You and Kakashi have changed much over the years.”

The Third Hokage says, with a smile, “So, it is you.”

Kurenai asks Third Hokage, “Hokage-sama, do you know this person?”

Kakashi tells Kurenai, “We both do, Kurenai. He is an… old friend, you can say.”

The figure tells Naruto, Ryu, and Ayane, “As you must have figured out, there are going to be three new Signers to replace Jack Atlas, Crow Hogan, and Luna, who’s lives were brutally and wrongfully taken.”

Ayane asks, curiously, “You mean that there are going to be two more people that will inherited Uncle Crow’s and Aunt Luna’s ‘Marks of the Dragon’?”

The figure replies, with a nod, “And their Signer Dragons, Black-Winged Dragon and Ancient Fairy Dragon, as well. For a new war is going to start, one unlike the Elemental Countries have ever seen before and the Signers are going to a central part of it.”

Ryu says, with a sigh, “Something tells me that you were going to say that one.” In the aftermath of the battle between Naruto and Neo Paradox in which Naruto has seems defeated the Nine-Tailed Fox once and for all, the mysterious figure that saved Ryu and Ayane shows up to tell them that their journey is just beginning…

Next Time in Chapter 3:

Ayane: So, there are going to be two more new Signers other than Naruto?

Ryu: Who could they be?

Kakashi: We’ll have to figure that out later. The aftermath of Naruto’s duel with Paradox has left us in quite a bit of chaos.

Naruto: Not to mention this old guy with one eye looking at Ayane, Ryu, and me! He is totally creepy!

Kakashi: That’s Danzo and he is not one to be underestimated.

Naruto: Something about him doesn’t seem right. It is like I can tell that he is bad news.

Third Hokage: Enough, everyone! As of now, Naruto is going to be given what is rightfully his! His father’s name, his clan estate, and his legacy! Also, since Naruto is a Signer, all Signers are under Namikaze clan protection!

Naruto: What are these in my dad’s home? Duel Monsters’ Cards?!

Ryu: What does your mother and father has in connection with the history of Duel Monsters?

Ayane: Who are you?

Mysterious Male: I am here to see if you, Signers, are the keys to what I want. Game on!

Naruto: Next time on Naruto 5Ds: New Friends, New Foes

Ayane (stunned): Elemental Hero Neos?! But how do you have that card? Who are you?!

And that’s it, folks! I don’t think many of you were surprised when I made Naruto ‘inherit’ Jack’s ‘Mark of the Dragon’ or his ‘Burning Soul’, which is called Burning Force in the Tag Force video game, but you must be asking about how he can recreate Red Nova Dragon with the Nine-Tailed Fox’s power even at the fox’s full strength. And that’s right. As Naruto fans know, Naruto had the fox’s spirit and his Yang chakra in him, but in my story, the special seal not only took the Nine-Tailed Fox and his Yang chakra out, but reunited them with its Yin chakra as well. Anyway, you are going to have to wait until the next chapter for the explanation and stay tuned since there are going to be more surprises to come! Later and best wishes, Naruto and Dueling Fans!
