Like I mentioned in the previous chapter, I found out recently that Leo is going to be a SIXTH Signer holding a new Mark of the Dragon and his Signer Dragon will be known as Life Stream Dragon. Since there is the case of a SIXTH Signer, I’m adding my own sixth Signer into the ring, but you are going to need to read to find out who it is!

Naruto 5Ds: Shinobi Signers

Chapter 16: Sannins and Signers

Right now, we find Itachi and Kisame, in some kind of ‘wavy image form’, surrounded by figures that are cloaked just like them including the one known as Pain, the one with the Rinnegan eyes same as Naruto. At this moment, the two Akatsuki members are giving them a report on their mission and some parts of their report are quite ‘disturbing’ to the Akatsuki members to say the least.

One of them, having hair in a ponytail, yells out, “Whoa! You’re joking!”

Kisame says, with a plain tone, “Do we look like we’re laughing Deidara? That little brat used the same Shinra Tensei or Almighty Push that Leader-sama uses.”

A hunchback Akatsuki member asks, “So, the Kyuubi Jinchuriki has the Rinnegan like Leader-sama?”

Itachi replies, plainly, “That’s correct, Sasori. He also knows his father’s Rasengan jutsu which is an A-rank ninjutsu of incredible power. Kisame was lucky to survive it intact due to his high levels of chakra and stamina.”

Kisame says, with a sneer, “Don’t remind me, Itachi! That really hurt! When I meet that brat again, he is really going to get it!”

Itachi tells Kisame, “We won’t be able to get to Naruto easier this time. He will be on his guard and while we know some of the things he can do, we don’t know how much he can do. His rate of growth was stunted when I left my home village, but that could have and it looks like it has been changed in which Naruto’s growth has become accelerated.”

Pain asks Itachi, “Are you saying that Kyuubi Jinchuriki is developing his powers at an accelerated rate?”

Itachi tells Pain, “Kushina Uzumaki had a talent for ninjutsu and her son seems to have gained that talent. If you combine his high chakra levels, the Uzumaki stamina and endurance, the Rinnegan, and the Dragon Sword together, he has the potential to grow into a powerful that rivals any of us, Leader-sama.”

Pain says, with a plain tone, “This is disturbing news, Itachi. If we let the Kyuubi Jinchuriki grow in power, he could become the greatest threat to us, but we are not ready to hurt the Jinchuriki as of yet.”

Itachi tells Pain, “And with Jiraiya-sama knowing of us and the element of surprise being gone, another attempt on Naruto could prove costly even for Kisame and I in which even through we have seen Naruto in action, we don’t know the full extent of his abilities. But if we give him time to develop, he might become too powerful for all of us, Pain-sama. It is no-win situation.”

Deidara yells out, “No way!”

Sasori says, with a plain tone, “Itachi has a point, Deidara. However, we know the identities of the five Signers.”

Itachi says, with a plain tone, “However, Naruto is one of them and the Hyuga heiress is another, but the other three, I believe come from beyond the ‘Veil’ that separates the Elemental Countries from the outside world. However, one of these Signers from the outside has a strange power. It seems like she has the ability to make the creatures of Duel Monsters come to life.”

There are plenty of gasps and Deidara asks, with a giggle, “Are you kidding, Itachi? Making monsters from a card game come to life?”

Pain tells Deidara, “Itachi never jokes, Deidara. And you should remember well that Duel Monsters actually comes from the ancient Shadow Games in which the monsters are very real in which the Crimson Dragon and the five Signers, namely their dragons, also are connected to Duel Monsters as well. Duel Monsters, created by Maxamillion Pegasus years ago, was actually Pegasus reviving the Shadow Games into a new ‘modern’ format. And this female Signer, did she has some kind device attached to her left arm?”

Itachi says, with a nod, “She did, Pain-sama.”

Pain says, with a nod, “That explains part of the story and makes it quite valid, Itachi. That device you saw is called a ‘Duel Disk’, an advanced piece of outside world technology which people use to play Duel Monsters. These devices create ‘holograms’ which are in a way, technology based Genjutsu.”

Sasori asks, perplexed, “Humans outside of the Elemental Countries can create Genjutsu through technology?”

Pain says, nodding his head, “In way, Sasori. But they use these technology based and created Genjutsu for recreations rather than military usage to make playing Duel Monsters more exciting and these technology based Genjutsu can be very realistic much like how real Genjutsu can be. However, there are those known as ‘Psychic Duelists’ who can make the cards of Duel Monsters come to life inflicting real damage and such using technology of a Duel Disk as a medium as well as mysterious and powerful ‘psychic abilities’. We’re not sure that these ‘Psychic Duelists’ abilities are based chakra, but they are powerful. If one is not careful, the damage that they could inflict could be lethal. I believe that female Signer is one of the ‘Psychic Duelists’.”

Itachi says, with a nod, “I see, Leader-sama.”

Pain says, “She could be very useful because ‘Psychic Duelists’ can pass on their powers to their offspring much like a Kekkai Genkai. We must keep a close eye on this Signer along with the Kyuubi Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.”

Kisame asks, curiously, “So, what shall we do? Do we attack after we rest up?”

Pain replies, “No, Kisame. Even through it isn’t wise to allow the Namikaze to get one second to increase his abilities, if we were to rush in now, we might get him, but we will lose a good number of us and we can’t afford that early on. We have no choice, but to wait and think up of plans to counter his development as well as the powers and abilities of his fellow Signers.”

Itachi says, with a nod, “Understood, Pain-sama.” Soon enough, the other Akatsuki members start to leave and then we find Itachi and Kisame alone.

Kisame tells Itachi, “And now, Itachi, I think that it is time that you spill the beans on what you know about Madara-sama.”

Itachi tells Kisame, “As you wish, Kisame, but only if you tell me of what you know of Madara Uchiha.”

Kisame says, with a grin, “That’s fine by me. I’ve got nothing to hide.”

(Rejoining our Signers group; on the meanwhile)

With our Signers group, we find Ayane, on her Duel Board, preparing to Turbo Duel against Vizor AKA Bruno, a friend of her parents and family when they were fighting against Aproia AKA the Three Emperors of Yliaster and ZONE, in which they are dueling in a large and deep depression full of twist and turns in which made it a naturally made Turbo Dueling ring. The others are watching through the screen of Yusei’s Duel Runner, Yusei Go, which Naruto helped put in a special storage scroll.

Jiraiya says, with a plain tone, “I’m not sure that we have the time for this. We need to get going and find Tsunade as quickly as possible.”

Ninja Ayane says, with a plain tone, “She is doing this to help Leon-san and she is doing this with her honor as a duelist.”

Kalin says, with a nod, “That’s correct, Jiraiya-sama. Like warrior have their warrior’s honor and pride, we, duelists, have our own in which the ‘unwritten’ rule says if you or your group is challenged to a duel, unless there is something dire at stake, you can’t back down from a challenge.”

Leon says, with a nod, “Kalin is right, Jiraiya-sama. The Signers were challenged as a group and they couldn’t just back down. I know they’re doing it to find my mom and dad for me as well as the whole world since my dad is needed for the battles to come, but the Signers’ honor and pride as duelists were also challenge. What if your honor and pride as a ninja was challenged, Jiraiya-sama? If there was any great need for you or you weren’t on some kind of vital mission, you couldn’t just let your honor get tarnished like that.”

Jiraiya replies, with a plain tone, “Point taken, Leon-san.”

Vizor asks Ayane, “Are you ready, Ayane?”

Ayane says, with a nod, “I am, Vizor!” Soon after, Vizor activates the Speed World 2 Field Spell in his Duel Runner in which Ayane pushes buttons on her duel disk to activate the program in her duel disk causing a wave of holographic energy to surround the area in which their life-point counters display 4000 life-points, their speed counters are displayed at zero, and they race off into the distance as their decks are shuffled in which they draw five cards.

Vizor tells Ayane, with a smile, “Let’s see if you can keep up like your dad did, Ayane.” Vizor then races off ahead in which Ayane activates the jet boosters in her Duel Board, custom made of course, to keep up in which she uses a small upward slant to fly over Vizor and his Duel Runner getting ahead of him. Vizor says, with a grin, “Since you made the first turn, you get the first turn!”

Ayane says, with a grin, “How nice of you, Vizor!”

Ayane and Vizor yell out in unison, “Let’s ride!”

Starting Scores:
Ayane: 4000 SPC: 0
Vizor: 4000 SPC: 0

Ayane says, drawing a card, “It’s my move!” Ayane says, putting one card on her duel disk, “First, I play my Twilight Rose Knight in attack mode!” Just then Twilight Rose Knight (1000/1000) appears on the field in attack mode. Ayane says, putting one card on her duel disk, “And then I use his ability to play one level four or below Plant monster from my hand and I choose Cactus Fighter in attack mode!” Just then Cactus Fighter (1900/400) appears on the field in attack mode. Ayane yells out, “And now, I tune my Twilight Rose Knight with my Cactus Fighter!” Soon after, Twilight Rose Knight turns into three stars that turn into three rings that surround Cactus Fighter making it become transparent. When a light appears on the field, Ayane takes a Synchro Monster card from her Extra Deck and chants out, “Chilling flames engulfs the entire world. Pitch-dark flower, set into bloom! Synchro Summon!” When Ayane puts the Synchro Monster card on her duel disk, she yells out, “Meet my Black Rose Dragon!” Out of the light, Black Rose Dragon (2400/1800) appears on the field in attack mode.

Vizor says, with a plain tone, “Interesting, Ayane.”

Ayane says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Overboost speed spell! For this turn, I get four more speed counters, but at the End Phase, they drop to one!” Ayane says, putting one more card into the spell/trap slots, “Then I activate my Speed Fusion speed spell card! Since I have four speed counters, I can fuse monsters in my hand and field!” Ayane then displays Rose, Warrior of Revenge (1600/600) monster card and she yells out, “And now, I fuse my Black Rose Dragon with my Rose, Warrior of Revenge!” The said monster then appears on the field, goes into a fusion vortex with Black Rose Dragon, and Ayane calls out, as she puts a Fusion Monster card from her Extra deck on her duel disk, “Meet Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste in attack mode!” Out of the fusion vortex, Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste (3200/2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

Back on the sidelines, Naruto says, amazed, “Whoa!”

In the duel, Vizor thinks in his mind, with a smile, “Interesting, Ayane.”

Ayane says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I end my turn with this card face-down.” Soon enough, Ayane’s speed counters go down to one due to the effect of her Overboost speed spell.

Vizor says, drawing a card, “It’s my move!” Both Ayane’s and Vizor’s Speed Counters go up by one and Vizor says, putting one card on his duel disk portion of his Runner, “Since I control no monsters and you have a monster on the field, I can play my Tech Genus Striker in attack mode!” Just then Tech Genus Striker (800/0) appears on the field in attack mode and Vizor says, putting another card on his duel disk, “And since a level four or below monster was special summoned, I can bring out this card from my hand: Tech Genus Werewolf!” Soon after, Tech Genus Werewolf (1200/0) appears on the field in attack mode. Vizor yells out, “And now, I tune my Tech Genus Striker with my Werewolf!” Striker then turns into two stars that turn into two rings that surround Tech Genus Werewolf making it become transparent. Vizor says, putting a Synchro Monster card on his duel disk, “And I play my Tech Genus Gladiator in attack mode!” Out of the light that come from the Synchro Summon, Tech Genus Gladiator (2300/1000) appears on the field in attack mode. Vizor says, putting another card on his duel disk, “Next, I play my Tech Genus Cyber Magician!” Tech Genus Cyber Magician (0/0) then appears on the field in attack mode and Vizor says, with a sly smile, “And this tuner allows me to Synchro Summon when I have the other Synchro Material Monster in my hand!”

Davis asks, stunned, “In his hand?!”

Vizor displays Tech Genus Rush Rhino (1600/800) monster card and he yells out, “I tune my Magician with the Tech Genus Rush Rhino in my hand!” As the monster appears on the field, Cyber Magician turns into a single star that turns into a ring that surround Rush Rhino, making it become transparent, and then a column of light appears on the field. Vizor says, putting a Synchro Monster card on his duel disk, “And now, I Synchro Summon Tech Genus Wonder Magician!” Soon after, Tech Genus Wonder Magician (1900/0) comes out of the column of light in attack mode. Vizor says, with a plain tone, “And now, I can select on spell or trap card on the field and destroy it, Ayane! Too bad that you have one card on the field, Ayane!”

Ayane says, pushing a button on her duel disk, “I activate my Skill Successor trap card!” Ayane’s face-down card is revealed to be the Skill Successor trap card and Ayane says, with a smile, “Too bad, Vizor. This trap card causes one monster on my field to gain four hundred attack points until the End Phase of this turn!” Soon after, Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste’s stats go up from 3200/2000 to 3600/2000!

Vizor says, with a smile, “Interesting, Ayane. I guess that I should really ‘rev it up’ then.” Just then Vizor’s speed starts to increase as blue slip-stream of some kind appears and Vizor yells out, “You should remember that my Wonder Magician is also my Synchro Tuner monster! And now, I tune it with my Gladiator! Accel Synchro Summon!” Wonder Magician then turns into five stars that shoot out and turn into five massive rings that cause Vizor’s Duel Runner to go faster and faster into it vanishes in a flash of light.

Ayane and Naruto yell out, “He disappeared!” But then a bright flash appears behind Ayane and Visor, still on his Duel Runner, bursts out in which Tech Genus Blade Blaster (3300/2200) Accel Synchro Monster hovering over him.

Haku asks, amazed, “So, that’s his Accel Synchro Monster? The same as Ryu-sama’s and his dad’s Shooting Star Dragon?”

Ryu says, with a nod, “That’s right, Haku.”

Veemon says, amazed, “Cool.”

Davis says, with a plain tone, “For now, Veemon, but when he ends his turn, Ayane’s trap card will end and her knight will be weaker.”

Ryu says, with a plain tone, “And Blade Blaster can negate a spell or trap by allowing him to discard one card from his hand.”

Naruto says, nervously, “That’s not good.”

Vizor says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “And I end my turn with a face-down, Ayane.” With the end of Vizor’s turn, Draco-Equiste’s stats go back down to their original 3200/2000.

Ayane says, drawing a card, “It’s my move!” After Ayane’s and Vizor’s speed counters go up by one counter, Ayane says, removing Skill Successor from her graveyard, “Now, I use my Skill Successor’s other effect, Vizor! By removing it from my grave, I can boost the power of my Draco-Equiste by eight hundred until the end of this turn!” Draco-Equiste’s stats then go up from 3200/2000 to 4000/2000 and Ayane yells out, “Attack Blade Blaster!” Draco-Equiste then charges in to attack Blade Blaster.

Vizor says, with a serious tone, “I activate Blade Blaster’s ability and remove him from play until the end of the turn!” Blade Blaster vanishes in which Draco-Equiste continues on towards Vizor and he yells out, pushing a button on his Runner, “And then I activate my Stronghold, the Moving Fortress!” Vizor’s face-down card is revealed to be the Stronghold, the Moving Fortress continuous trap card in which Vizor says, with a smile, “This card is also a monster with two thousand defense points and while it won’t survive, my life-points are safe!” Just then the trap card turns into Stronghold, the Moving Fortress (0/2000) in defense mode. Draco-Equiste attacks the trap monster and destroys it with its lance.

Ayane says, putting a card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Angel Baton speed spell card! Now, I draw two cards and discard one monster card from my hand!” Ayane draws two cards, discards one Shield Warrior (800/1600) monster card, and she says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “And I end my turn with a face-down!” Soon after, Tech Genus Blade Blaster (3300/2200) and Draco-Equiste goes down from 4000/2000 to 3200/2000.

Vizor says, drawing a card, “It’s now my move!” Vizor’s and Ayane’s speed counters go up by one and Vizor yells out, “Blade Blaster, attack her Draco-Equiste!” Blade Blaster then moves in to attack Ayane’s monster.

Ayane removes her Shield Warrior (800/1600) monster card and she yells out, “I remove Shield Warrior from play in order to keep my Draco-Equiste on the field, Vizor!” Just then Shield Warrior’s image appears in front of Draco-Equiste as Blade Blaster’s attack slams home, but while her monster is safe, Ayane loses 100 life-points.

Vizor says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I put one card face-down and end my turn!”

Current Score:
Ayane: 3900 SPC: 4
Vizor: 4000 SPC: 3

Ayane says, drawing a card, “It’s my move!” After Ayane’s and Vizor’s speed counters go up by one, Ayane says, putting one card on her duel disk, “I play my Money Tree in attack mode!” Just then Money Tree (300/1000), a monster that looks like a good sized tree with various forms of currency growing on it, appears on the field in attack mode. Ayane yells out, “Now, by releasing my tree, I choose the weakest monster on my field and I get one card from every two stars that my monster has!” As Money Tree vanishes from the field, Ayane says, drawing five cards, “However, since my Draco-Equiste is a level ten, I get five new cards!”

Vizor says, with a smile, “Very clever, Ayane.”

Ayane says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Speed Energy speed spell! This card boosts one of my monster’s attack points by the number of speed counters that I have times two hundred!”

Vizor says, discarding the last card in his hand, “I use the ability of my Blade Blaster and discard one card in my hand to negate the activation of your spell and destroy it!” The hologram of Ayane’s speed spell card shatters into pieces as its ability is negated.

Ayane says, putting a card into the spell/trap slots, “I place one card face-down and end my turn.”

Vizor says, drawing a card, “It’s my turn!” After Vizor’s and Ayane’s speed counters go up by one, Vizor yells out, “Tech Genus Blade Blaster, attack Draco-Equiste!” Vizor’s monster then move in to attack Draco-Equiste.

Ayane says, pushing a button on her duel disk, “I activate my Scrap-Iron Scarecrow trap card!” Ayane’s face-down card is revealed to be the trap card Scrap-Iron Scarecrow and Ayane says, with a smile, “And this trap card negates your attack!”

Vizor says, discarding one card from his hand, “I activate my Blade Blaster’s ability and discard one card to negate your trap as well as destroy it, Ayane.”  Ayane’s Scrap-Iron Scarecrow glows as it shatters apart by Blade Blaster’s ability.

Ayane says, pushing another button on her duel disk, “I wanted you to do that, Vizor! I activate my Reinforcements trap card!” Ayane’s other face-down card is revealed to be the Reinforcements trap card and Ayane says, with a smile, “Since you have no cards in your hand, you can’t stop my trap card and this one gives my Draco-Equiste a five hundred attack points boost!”

Vizor says, pushing a button on his Runner, “I think not! Activate Trap Jammer!” Vizor’s face-down card is revealed to be the Trap Jammer counter trap card and Vizor says, with a smile, “I thought that you had that planned, Ayane, but I had this planned for you and now, your trap card is now negated!” Ayane’s Reinforcements trap card glows and shatters as it is destroyed as well as its effect made useless.

Hinata says, shocked, “Ayane…”

Naruto tells Ayane, “Come on, Ayane!”

However, Ayane smiles and she says, displaying a monster card known as Alchemy Plant (0/0), “I activate the effect of my Alchemy Plant! By discarding this card to my graveyard, when I lose two spell or trap cards in a single turn, I can play one spell card from my hand!”

Vizor asks, in a shocked tone, “From your hand?!”

Ayane discards the said monster card and she says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Speed Spell Power Baton! I need six or more speed counters to play this speed spell and now, I choose one monster from my deck and send it to my grave! And then, my monster gains attack points equal to the attack until the next Damage Step of the Battle Phase!” A card comes out of Ayane’s deck and she says, discarding Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 (3000/1800) monster card, “And I discard Hours the Black Flame Dragon level eight and my Draco-Equiste gains three grand in attack points!” Draco-Equiste’s status go up from 3200/2000 to 6200/2000 in which Draco-Equiste counterattacks causing Blade Blaster to get destroyed in which Vizor yelps as he loses 2900 life-points.

Davis yells out, excitedly, “Way to go, girl!”

Naruto says, excitedly, “She did it!”

Vizor says, with a smile, “I end my turn.”

Current Score:
Ayane: 3900 SPC: 6
Vizor: 1100 SPC: 5

Ayane says, drawing a card, “It’s my turn, Vizor!” After Ayane’s and Vizor’s speed counters go up by one, Ayane yells out, “Draco-Equiste, end this duel now!” Draco-Equiste charges in for the kill while he goes back down to its original 3200/2000 stats in which the attack hits home causing Vizor to yelp as he loses 3200 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:
Ayane: 3900 SPC: 7
Vizor: 0 SPC: 6

With the end of the duel, Vizor’s Duel Runner activates its air brakes in which he skids to a stop in which Ayane goes over to him.

Vizor tells Ayane, “You have done well, Ayane. You are just as strong as your parents were.”

Ayane tells Vizor, with a nod, “Thank you, Vizor.”

Vizor tells Ayane, “However, you need to become even stronger than your mother was, Ayane. You need to ‘evolve’ beyond the original Signers and more, Ayane.”

Ayane tells Vizor, “Evolve, how?”

Vizor tells Ayane, “That’s up to you and your fellow Signers, Ayane. For now, you shall be given your prize. Jaden Yuki is no longer in this world, but in the world where Ancient Fairy Dragon is great guardian.”

Ayane asks, curiously, “You mean the Duel Monsters Spirit Realm?”

Vizor says, with a nod, “That’s right, Ayane. He and Alexis Rhodes are within the Duel Monsters Spirit Ream, but in order to get there, only the Signer of Ancient Fairy Dragon can guide the way.”

The rest of the group overhears this through Yusei’s Duel Runner, they look at Hinata, and Hinata asks, stunned and confused, “Me?”

Ancient Fairy Dragon tells Hinata, “That’s correct, Hinata. You and I are the link between the realm of the humans and the realm of the Duel Monster Spirits which makes you special among the Signers like Ayane, Hinata.”

Vizor tells Ayane, “You and others have much to learn and a long way to go to gain the strength, but due to your dad, mom, and their friends, your family, taught me that the future is always changing in which it is not done in stone. I wish you and the other Signers luck, Ayane.”

Ayane asks, curiously, “You are going to leave?”

Vizor tells Ayane, “For now, Ayane, but before I leave, there is something for you.” Vizor then takes out a blank Synchro Monster card and he tells her, “Take this, Ayane.”

Vizor throws her the card, she catches it, and she asks, confused, “A blank Synchro Monster card?”

Vizor tells Ayane, “You will unlock its powers when the time is right, Ayane.” Vizor then zooms off into the distance through his Duel Runner, Delta Eagle, in which Ayane looks at the card causing her to wonder.

(In the unknown base of the Dark Signers; on the meanwhile)

Returning to the base of the Dark Signers, we find Kushina returning to the room where she was talking with the Dark Signer of the Spider Mark where she finds that Dark Signer along with another Dark Signer wearing a green and black cloak with a glowing lizard mark on her lower right arm.

The Spider Dark Signer tells Kushina, “You’re back already, Kushina?”

Kushina replies, with a dark plain tone, “That pathetic peon was nothing and his tools are nothing against real ninja and duelists.”

The Spider Dark Signer tells Kushina, “I see, Kushina.”

Kushina tells the Spider Dark Signer, with a dark annoyed tone, “When do I get to give that ungrateful village their dues?”

The Spider Dark Signer replies, “Easy, Kushina. The time is not right. And like it or not, you are a Dark Signer and your boy is a Signer.”

Kushina replies, with a dark snarl, “Don’t remind me!”

The Spider Dark Signer tells Kushina, with a dark plain tone, “Calm yourself, Kushina. Your revenge shall be ripe, but only when the time of the true final battle between the Signers and Dark Signers have come.”

Kushina says, with a dark snort, “Fine.” Soon enough, Kushina teleports away in swirls of darkness leaving her fellow Dark Signers alone in the room in which they just look at each other silently.

The Lizard Dark Signer says, in a female voice, “You know that she is too hard to control.”

The Spider Dark Signer replies, with a dark plain tone, “I really don’t care, my dear. She will fulfill her duty as a Dark Signer and her desire for revenge against her beloved’s home for what they did to her child will fit in her perfectly.”

(Later on; Rejoining our heroes and heroines)

Back with our heroes and heroines, we find them walking along in which we find them talking and discussing including Ayane’s duel with Vizor as well as the mysterious blank Synchro Monster card that he gave her.

Naruto then asks, curiously, “This Tsunade person, my godmother, is a Sannin like you?”

Jiraiya replies, with a nod, “Yep, kid.”

Naruto asks, curiously, “What is she like?”

Jiraiya tells Naruto, with a grin, “Want to know more about her, huh? Well, gaki, she is quite unpleasant. And she has quite the gambling problem.”

Ayane thinks in her mind, “Gambling problem?”

Jiraiya says, with a grin, “She really likes to gamble, but she has no luck and no skill at it. In fact, she is quite legendary. Tsunade is known as ‘The Legendary Sucker’.”

Davis asks, a bit surprised, “Legendary Sucker?”

Jiraiya says, with a nod, “That’s right, kid. And Tsunade is not one to grow old gracefully. She has a special transformation jutsu that makes her look in her twenties when she is actually in her fifties. This jutsu doesn’t dispel unless she suffered from major chakra exhaustions or something of the sort. In fact, I hear that she is transformation on the fly going from her teens to her forties to escape the massive amount of debts that she got with her gambling.”

Naruto says, stunned, “That’s terrible! She must be quite the charmer!”

Davis says, with slight disgust in his voice, “No joke, Naruto!”

Ryu says, with a plain tone, “That kind of stuff makes one hard to believe that she is such a legendary ninja, but then again, legendary ninja are only human.”

Jiraiya coughs at this and Ayane says, with a plain tone, “At least, she will be easy to find.”

Jiraiya replies, shaking his head, “Not likely, Ayane-san. Despite her being so ‘legendary’, she is not an easy person to find and she makes sure that it is difficult to find her.”

Haku says, with a plain tone, “Do you expect it to take long to find her, Jiraiya-sama?”

Jiraiya says, with a nod, “All we can do is ask around and hope to find her, Haku. It is best that we look in place that she would like.”

Ryu asks, plainly, “Places where you can bet and gamble, right?”

Jiraiya says, with a nod, “Yep, Ryu.”

Davis asks, with a plain tone, “Is she really that bad? I mean everyone has got to get lucky once in awhile. She can’t lose all the time, right?”

Jiraiya says, with a plain tone, “She does win, VERY rarely, but whenever she wins, which is usually winning big, something bad happens or something bad is happening.”

Naruto asks, curiously, “You’re joking, right?”

Jiraiya says, shaking his head, “Not really. Personally, I thought that it was some kind of freaky coincidence or something when she told me, but she proved me wrong. It seems like when she gets lucky and wins big, a great danger or disaster, not just to the Leaf Village, but someone in the Elemental Countries, is happening or will happen.”

Davis says, surprised, “Ouch! It makes one not want to win at slots or anything.”

Veemon asks, curiously, “But why not stop gambling if those kind of things happen?”

Ryu tells Veemon, “People with gambling problems can’t help themselves. They just got to bet on something. In fact, it is called a gambling addiction through technically it isn’t called an addiction.”

Jiraiya says, with a nod, “And that’s it right there.” Jiraiya says, with a sigh, “The only thing, at times, that kept Tsunade for going ballistic from the things that she had to endure in life was sake for one and gambling for another. And if you need to ask, the death of Naruto’s mom and dad were among them which really broke her down since she lost loved ones before then.”

Ayane asks, curiously, “She lost people that she cared for before?”

Jiraiya says, with a sigh, “Can’t say anymore. If Tsunade found out that I was blabbing, she would do to me worse than when I peeked at her in the hot springs for my research. And if you need to know, she broke both my arms, about six of my ribs, and damaged a number of my internal organs.”

Ayane thinks in her mind, amazed, “That’s what I call ‘girl power’!”

Kasumi thinks in her mind, stunned, “Lady Tsunade must be as powerful as she if she is able to do that to a fellow Sannin.”

Naruto says, with a snort, “That’s what you get from peeking on your teammate like that Pervy Sage and something tells me that she was going easy on you.”

Jiraiya thinks in his mind, rolling his eyes, “Tell me something that I don’t know, gaki.”

Naruto tells Jiraiya, “Anyway, Pervy Sage, I thought that you said that we were going to work on Rasengan and improve it!”

Jiraiya says, with a sly grin, “That’s right, Naruto. Your dad would be proud to know that you managed to finish his work on it, but he wanted to mix with his Wind chakra and I think that we can take it one step further than that.”

Naruto asks, with a nod, “Okay, but what about my dad’s other jutsu?”

Jiraiya tells Naruto, “I told you that you are not ready for the Hiraishin, just yet. That jutsu is the reason that your dad was called ‘The Yellow Flash’ and gave him his ‘flee on sight’ order.”

Kasumi asks, curiously, “Leaders of enemy villages told them to flee on sight?”

Jiraiya says, with a sly grin, “That’s right, Kasumi. Only his wife and Naruto’s mom, Kushina, had ever got that order and that’s shows how powerful and feared as well as legendary both of them were too.” Jiraiya tells Naruto, “And this jutsu is not some kind of jutsu that you study and you get it down right away, gaki. This is an elite jutsu that takes work hard and it is combination of ninjutsu and the sealing arts since his jutsu requires a special seal mark to allow him to teleport from place to place, Naruto. We’re not planning to spend too much time on the road.”

Ninja Ryu says, with a plain tone, “That’s wise, Jiraiya-sama. I fear that Orochimaru might be after Tsunade.”

There are a few gasps and Haku asks, seriously, “Orochimaru will be after Lady Tsunade too?”

Jiraiya says, with a plain tone, “With what Naruto’s mom did to his arms, Orochimaru will seek her out to heal his arms.”

Ayane asks, curiously, “Will Orochimaru convince her to help him?”

Jiraiya says, with a sigh, “I can’t be sure, Ayane. Tsunade is loyal to the village, but after the pain that she suffered including what happened with Naruto and his parents on THAT day, I can’t be sure.”

Ninja Ayane says, with a serious tone, “And that makes our journey even more important than ever before. We need to make haste to find Tsunade-sama before Orochimaru does. In her mental and emotion condition, Orochimaru could use her weakness to convince her to help him.”

Jiraiya says, with a plain tone, “I’m hoping that our gaki here can be able to convince her otherwise.”

Ninja Ayane says, with a plain tone, “We are going to have to see, Jiraiya-sama.”

Haku says, with a plain tone, “The loss of people that you call ‘precious’ isn’t easy to get over.” Naruto, Ayane, and Ryu look at Haku who sighs remembering Zabuza and how he died along with his final wish for Haku to protect the Signers.

(Days later; Back in the Leaf Village)

Within the Leaf Village, we find Third Hokage, still awaiting news from our Signers group, is sitting down with the ninja council as they bring in Sai, bound with chakra chuff and seals to make sure that he can’t do anything, with the Leaf ANBU that saw what happened at Danzo’s former headquarters in the former Land of Whirlpools, the home of the Uzumaki clan, putting Danzo’s cane, broken into two pieces in front of them.

Third Hokage tells the ANBU, “This is disturbing news, Tenzo.”

ANBU replies, with a nod, “I know, Hokage-sama. This is what I saw and I found that it was one of Danzo ROOT bases. However, something or someone destroyed it along with everyone inside of it. I found the corpse of a ROOT member with the same device that two Signers from the outside world use.”

Hiashi asks, curiously, “And the boy?”

Tenzo replies, “One of the few surviving ROOT, Hiashi-sama. Calls himself ‘Sai’ and based on Signer Motomiya-sama’s ‘report’, he is the one that he dueled. He has a special jutsu that brings ink drawings to life.”

Inoichi says, with a plain tone, “Interesting, Tenzo. It must have taken you some work to get him.”

Third Hokage says, with a smile, “Not as hard as you think, Inoichi.” Third Hokage says, with a plain tone, “However, it looks like that it was Kushina because she is the Dark Signer of the Hummingbird and that was indeed what was shaped on the ground by the dark flames.”

Tenzo says, with a nod, “Yes, Hokage-sama. And those flames weren’t ordinary flames. They seemed to be… unnatural.”

Shikaku says, with a sigh, “I guess that Kushina knows about Danzo’s attempts to turn her boy into a weapon.”

Choza says, with a sneer, “At least, he is one less thing to worry about.”

Hiashi says, with a plain tone, “While true, Kushina is still a danger along with the other Dark Signers. With the darkness corrupting her mind, she plans to wipe out the village for what the morons of our village have done.”

Third Hokage says, with a nod, “It doesn’t mean that any of us aren’t guilty of transgressions against Naruto. I feel that Kushina was right and I should have been a stronger Hokage. I am the Hokage and my word is law, but I allowed others to take advantage of my weakness and Naruto suffered for it.” Third Hokage says, with a stern tone, “However, while Kushina’s anger is justified, her actions are not and she is not herself. The Earthbound Immortals have corrupted her and we must stand firm. However, only the Signers can defeat the Dark Signers and we can only strength ourselves as well as recover as quickly as we can until the Signers and Jiraiya return with Tsunade.”

Inoichi asks Third Hokage, “Hokage-sama, what will you do?”

Third Hokage replies, “I plan to become one of Tsunade’s advisors and unlike two former comrades of mine, I plan to do my job right.”

Shikaku tells Third Hokage, “Well, Hokage-sama, you are going to pass on plenty of troubles to Lady Tsunade. As you know, Sasuke Uchiha has met with Itachi and Kisame and has fallen for the same jutsu that Itachi used on Kakashi.”

Hiashi says, with a plain tone, “While Tsunade will be able to restore them, physically, it is the Uchiha’s mental condition that I worry about. His spoiling by the civilian council and elders and his craving for revenge and power may only be made worse by his encounter with Itachi. He may try… desperate methods to get what he wants.”

Third Hokage tells Hiashi, “While there is valid support for your theory, Hiashi, we can’t do anything until Sasuke Uchiha has recovered and has done something to bring that attention. However, when Tsunade has taken the mantle of Fifth Hokage, you can bring that issue with her, but I will highly recommend that the Uchiha, when he recovers, is to be watched as extensively as we can observe and very closely.”

Shikaku says, with a nod, “Wise idea, Hokage-sama. However, the report that Jiraiya-sama and his team said that Itachi and Kisame know Madara Uchiha personally which brings the fact that he is indeed alive even after so many years.”

Third Hokage says, with a plain tone, “There is knowledge that Madara Uchiha was among the first of the Uchiha to gain Mangekyo Sharingan and then he gained a more powerful version of the Mangekyo Sharingan, an ‘Eternal’ Mangekyo Sharingan, through the means of taking his brother’s own eyes and fusing them with his own.” There are gasps of shock and Third Hokage says, with a plain tone, “As you know, much about Madara has been lost to history other than the facts that he was the leader of the Uchiha clan during the time of founding of the village and First Hokage, he was banished by his own clan, and he, as a renegade, fought the First Hokage at the Valley of Ends. However, with recently events, it seems Madara survived his battle with First Hokage-sama than we were led to believe. It is also a fact that he can indeed control the Nine-Tailed Fox with his powerful Sharingan. It seems, most likely, he still lives and he may most likely after be Naruto. He also go after the Signers for the power of the Crimson Dragon.”

Inoichi asks Third Hokage, “But what about the reports of someone else possessing the Rinnegan like Namikaze-sama, Hokage-sama?”

Third Hokage says, with a plain tone, “This is indeed disturbing news. If this Akatsuki organization is being led by someone that possesses the same legendary dojutsu that Naruto has, he may be a very dangerous. To be able to lead a group of S-class missing ninja including Itachi Uchiha means that he may be very powerful, but we have no information at the moment. But with what happened recently, this Akatsuki organization is to be considered dangerous and we need to gather as much information as possible on them. However, we will need to wait for Jiraiya’s return to the village.”

Hiashi asks, plainly, “What about this ROOT?”

Sai says, with a fake smile, “I believe that I will not be much trouble, sir.”

Tenzo tells Sai, “Count out with the fake smiles, Sai. They will not work here.”

Third Hokage says, with a plain tone, “Put him in an ANBU cell and guard him closely, Tenzo. We are short on people due to the invasion, but as a ROOT member, he is dangerous and even through it seems like Kushina destroyed Danzo and his ROOT, we need to make sure.”

Tenzo says, with a now, “Of course, Hokage-sama.” Soon after, Tenzo and Sai teleport away in a swirl of leaves in which Third Hokage sighs at the information that he and the ninja council have learned.

(Elsewhere; on the meanwhile)

Within a mysterious lab, we find a group of scientist people looking over files in which we see that they are files about Davis Motomiya and his family, both electronic and paper.

Just then a figure enters the room and says, in a female voice, “What do you have?”

One of the scientists tells them, “This is all of the information that we can get on the last Signer, ma’am.”

As the figure looks over the information, she says, when she is done, “It looks like we have a new ‘Jaden Yuki’ in the making here.”

Another scientist says, with a plain tone, “He does have a great dueling talent, ma’am.”

The figure replies, “As do all of the Signers and that’s why we need them. Plus, we can truly create the ultimate fighter from the people of this world. However, they have proven to be more dangerous than we originally thought when that Orochimaru character and his group stole some of our equipment. However, his abilities may prove useful in our research and his desire for immortality and power may also aid in our research. We need to keep an eye on him carefully.”

The first scientist that spoke says, “We have found him and the Signers on the move. It looks like that they are converging on a single town and they are looking for a powerful female known as Tsunade, a legendary kunoichi of their realm.”

The figure says, with a sinister sly tone, “Interesting, my friend. I think that it is time for Y1 to make his appearance and aid in capturing the Signers at last.”

There are plenty of gasps and another scientist asks, concerned, “Are you sure, ma’am?”

The figure says, with a wicked sly tone, “I’m sure. Let’s see how the Signers deal with the strength of the first ever King of Games.”

(In another part of the Elemental Countries; Later on)

Right now, we find ourselves with a large town, for the Elemental Countries, known as Tanzaku Quarters where we find two women looking up at a Japanese Feudal style castle known oblivious as Tanzaku Castle.

The first female looks to be in her late 20s with shoulder length black hair, dark eyes, and she is wearing just a long black and white kimono held together by a white obi in which she has open-toed sandals with low heels.

The second female is a beautiful youthful looking woman with blond hair tied in two ponytails, violet rhombus, fair skin, brown eyes, pink colored lips, and she is wearing a tight fitting grey kimono-like blouse that’s low revealing a good portion of her massive cleavage held together by a dark grey-blue obi holding it together, there is a grass-green robe above the blouse with the word ‘gamble’ in Japanese Kanji, she is wearing tight fitting blue pants, and she has black high-heeled open-toed sandals revealing her red colored toenails which are the same color as her fingernails.

With the two females, there is a pig with a robe on and the black haired female says, with a smile, “Oh, wow! Tanzaku Castle does have a commanding presence! They didn’t make it a culture icon I suppose!”

The blond haired female says, annoyed, “Stop lollygagging around, Shizune! We have to get out of this town!”

The black haired female, called Shizune, tells the blond haired female, “Don’t you want to get a better peek at it? It doesn’t cost anything to look, you know?” As the black haired heads after the blond haired female who was walking away at a quick pace, the blond hair female stops suddenly and Shizune asks, surprised, “Lady Tsunade?”

The blond haired female, Tsunade, looks toward the castle and she thinks, “What is this chill that I’m feeling?” Just then the large castle explodes in a large cloud of dust and dirt and out of the dust and dirt, there is a massive snake with Orochimaru and Kabuto on top of its head.

Shizune asks, surprised, “Is that…?”

Tsunade says, with a sneer, “Orochimaru.”

Orochimaru says, with a sly smile, “I’ve finally found you, Tsunade.” Soon after, Orochimaru and Kabuto jump off and the snake vanish in a large cloud of smoke in which Tsunade and Shizune are facing Orochimaru and Kabuto.

Tsunade tells them, “It has been quite a long time, hasn’t it Orochimaru?”

Orochimaru replies, with a sinister sly tone, “Indeed, Tsunade. I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”

Tsunade tells Orochimaru, “What do you want with me after all this time? Do you want to kick around and talk about the good old days?”

When Tsunade looks at him and his bandaged arms, Tsunade thinks, “His heartbeat is racing and his temperature is higher than normal for him. Obvious signs of fatigue and those arms…”

Kabuto tells Tsunade, “Lady Tsunade, I’m sure that you have surmised by now…”

Tsunade says, interrupting, “Find someone else because I haven’t treated someone in years, pal.”
Kabuto tells Tsunade, “That won’t do. Surely you can see his wounds are so serious that no one can heal him expect for the legendary Sannin and medical genius, Lady Tsunade.”

Tsunade tells Orochimaru, “Those arms of yours, Orochimaru, they aren’t any ordinary injury, huh? What have you gotten into?”

Orochimaru says, with a plain tone, “Nothing much really. I was just trying to kill the Third Hokage and destroy the Leaf Village.”

There are gasps of shock from the two female and Tsunade says, with a snort, “That’s impossible.”

Orochimaru says, with a sly grin, “It’s true. However, I didn’t succeed due to some unforeseen ‘surprises’.”

Tsunade asks, plainly, “Really?”

Orochimaru says, with a wicked smile, “It is but a trifle including members of the Hayabusa and Mugen Tenshin clans appearing in the Leaf Village and managing to give the Leaf Village a better idea of my attack.”

Shizune asks, surprised, “Mugen Tenshin and Hayabusa clan? What are they doing in the Elemental Countries?”

Orochimaru says, with a sly smile, “Just being an annoyance in another of my plans and they will be taken care of soon enough.” Tsunade glares at him and Orochimaru says, with a sly smirk, “Tsunade, don’t give me that dirty look. You know as well as I do that things will decay and fade away including men. You should know this better than anyone since you are the one that let the two people that you care about most march off to their deaths.”

Kabuto thinks in his mind, “Let the two people most dear to her die? I see, Orochimaru-sama. This is a most wicked game that you are playing.”

Orochimaru says, with a wicked smile, “It is such a shame. It was a horrible way to die.” Shizune, enraged, attacks with senbon shooters on her right arm hidden under her kimono sleeve, but Kabuto manages to block the attack.

Kabuto says, with a plain tone, “Needles dipped in poison.” Shizune then attacks Kabuto with a scalpel while Kabuto prepares to counter with curved blade.

Tsunade yells out, “Shizune, calm down!” When Shizune stops, both Kabuto and Shizune had their respective blades under each other’s necks.

Kabuto thinks in his mind, “This assistant is powerful.”

Tsunade’s lips curled in a kind looking, but sinister smile and she says, “Orochimaru, you were always this twisted even when we were kids. Come, you know the gal that I am. Don’t kid with me.” She then lowers her head, slams her right fist into a nearby wall behind, and it crumbles to the ground as well as into dust in which Tsunade asks, looking up with a killer look in her features, “Or shall I kill you where you stand?”

Kabuto thinks in his mind, “She’s strong and terrifying. I had better keep a close eye on her.” Kabuto tells Tsunade, pleadingly, “Lady Tsunade, we aren’t here to fight. We are here to negotiate.”

Tsunade asks, with a sneer, “Negotiate? Are you trying to make me laugh?” Tsunade says, with a deadly plain tone, “Now, get out of here!”

Kabuto says, with a plain tone, “I’m afraid that’s not possible.”

Tsunade replies, with a deadly venomous tone, “I said get out of here.”

Kabuto says, “You are the only one that can cure Orochimaru-sama’s arms, you know that!”

Tsunade says, with a deadly tone, “I’m warning you.”

Kabuto says, seriously, “We are not asking for charity. We can make a deal.”

Tsunade says, with a deadly tone, “I’m going to count down from five and I suggest you leave before I’m done.” Kabuto tries to plead to Tsunade, but his efforts seem to be in vain as she starts to count down.

But when she reaches one, Orochimaru says, with a sinister smile, “I’m offering to bring your loved ones back to life with a forbidden jutsu that I developed.” Tsunade’s eyes widen at this and Orochimaru asks, with a sly smile, “I can see that you haven’t chased us off, yet. I can assume to say that we have a deal, Tsunade?”

(On the meanwhile; Just outside of Tanzaku Quarters)

Outside of the stairs that leads up to Tanzaku Quarters, which on a bit of a plateau, we find a young teen girl of about fifteen to sixteen years of age looking up in which she is covered mainly by a cloak, but we notice that she has blond hair in two long pigtails with the buns of her pigtails being like meatballs, she has circle rubies in the buns of her pigtails, two pairs of three small white feathers are in the left and right part of the forward part of her scalp, a golden crescent moon sigil on her forehead, beautiful cerulean blue eyes, and golden crescent moon earrings attached to her ears.

The teen girl says, “I hope that the help that I need is here. This place is my last hope to get my friends back. They are the only people left that I have in this world.” Soon enough, the teen girl covers her head and hair in the hood in which her hair seems to magically vanish in the hood in which she heads up into the town.

(Around the same time; Elsewhere within Tanzaku Quarters)

Inside of Tanzaku Quarters AKA Tanzaku Town, we find Naruto holding up his frog-shaped wallet in which it is bloated showing that it is full of money.

Naruto says, with a giggle, “You look so much cuter when you are full, huh, Gama-kun? Yes, you do.”

Davis says, amazed, “Dude, you won big from just one scratch off card! I still can’t believe it!”

Leon says, scratching his head, “Neither do I, Davis.”

Ryu says, with a plain tone, “Something tells me that Naruto is ‘gifted’ with major good luck. When he gets lucky, he gets lucky big.”

Haku says, with a nod, “A good theory, Ryu-sama.”

Rachel says, with a wide smirk, “I’ll say, kid. It makes me wish to have some of that kid’s luck.”

Jiraiya thinks in his mind, “I can’t believe that he won so much from just one scratch off card! This kid must been have born with both of the luck of his mom and dad! Minato and Kushina were always so lucky! Wish that he was so good with his jutsu like his dad, but his mom was far from bad, so, it is good that he has that talent from his mom. But where could that woman be? The best way to find her is to go onto high ground. And this place has Tanzaku Castle, the highest place in this area.” When Jiraiya looks at Ninja Ryu, he and Ninja Ayane nod their heads in unison. Jiraiya yells out, “Naruto, you and the others follow us! We’re going this way!”

Naruto says, with a nod, “Okay!”

Veemon asks, curiously, “Why?”

Kasumi says, with a plain tone, “In order to find Lady Tsunade, we’ll need to get onto high ground and this way leads to the highest ground in the area. We’ll be able to see more of the area if we go up there.”

Haku says, with a nod, “Wise idea, Jiraiya-sama.” Soon after, all of them prepare to head up towards Tanzaku Castle, not knowing that the castle is no more due to Orochimaru.

(Evening hours; Some distance outside of Tanzaku)

On hillsides overlooking Tanzaku Town, we find a group of figures dressed similar to police SWAT teams looking at the town from a distance in which a figure in a black long jacket walks up. The figure’s face can’t be seen due to the darkness of the night.

The figure asks, in a male voice, “Is this the place?”

One of the people that looks like police SWAT replies, “Based on the information that we have gathered, this is the place. However, our targets are being escorted by an elite same as that Orochimaru person.”

The figure says, with a sinister sly tone, “I know and that’s why we are going to get our targets by making them to fight in a battle that their ‘duelist pride’ can’t back down from.”

The person asks, curiously, “Is Y1 ready?”

The figure replies, with a wide smile that can be seen on his lips from a change in the light from the night’s sky, “Better than dreamed, my friend.”

(That same evening; rejoining our Signers group)

Right now, we find our Signers group wandering around Tanzaku continuing their search for Tsunade. After they went up the hill, they found out that the castle had been destroyed by what the locals in the area call a ‘monster’ in which they tell about a huge snake in which our group linked to Orochimaru and they also arrive at the area where Tsunade and her assistant, Shizune, and Orochimaru and Kabuto were in which they were already gone through the ‘signs’ of their meeting were still around. Now, they are looking for any signs of them in the town itself.

Naruto says, with a snort, “This is getting ridiculous. How many places are you going to drag me to? I’m starting to think that this old woman doesn’t exist.”

Haku tells Naruto, with a sigh, “I know that you are getting frustrated, Naruto, but Jiraiya-sama said that it would be hard to find her.”

Ayane says, with a nod, “No joke, Haku. And he wasn’t kidding.”

Davis says, with a nod, “When this old woman doesn’t want to be found, she doesn’t want to be found.”

Leon says, with a plain tone, “Something tells me that it is going to take luck to find her.”

Ayane says, with a giggle, “Then we should be okay with Naruto.”

Jiraiya says, stopping in front of a tavern, “Anyway, we should stop for a bite to eat here.”

Naruto yells out, stunned, “Hold up! This is a tavern! We’re under aged, here! Are you trying to be a bad influence on us?”

Davis tells Naruto, “Dude, as ninja, you are technically classified as adults.”

Naruto gives a surprised look and Haku says, with a nod, “That’s correct, Naruto. When you become a ninja, unlike civilians, you are classified as adults the instant that you get your headband through it is more like a tradition than a rule. I think that the saying goes: ‘Old enough to kill, old enough to drink’.”

Ninja Ayane says, with a nod, “Haku is correct, but typically, it is encouraged not to do things that are more ‘mature’ until they are of proper physical age.”

Jiraiya tells Naruto, with a plain tone, “And there you go, gaki. Look, no one is making you do anything. And plus, many tavern are also like restaurants and they serve food here, not just ‘adult drinks’, okay?”

Naruto says, with a sigh, “All right, if you say so, Pervy Sage. But I don’t get why we do it here.”

Ryu tells Naruto, “No one can live on ramen alone and while plenty of us think ramen tastes, we also like other foods, Naruto.”

Jiraiya says, with a plain tone, “And plus, these are the perfect places to look for information.” After they enter the tavern, Jiraiya looks at one table and right in front of them is none other than Tsunade, looking like she had too much sake, and Shizune as well as the pig that was with them. Jiraiya and Tsunade make eye contact and Jiraiya yells out, shocked, “Tsunade!”

There are gasps from our Signers group and Tsunade yells out, shocked, “Jiraiya?! What the heck are you doing here?”

Jiraiya says, with a sigh of relief, “Finally, I’ve been looking all over for you. I should have known that you were here.”

The others look shocked and Naruto thinks in his mind, “That’s Tsunade?”

Ayane whispers, amazed, “Wow, that’s her. She’s beautiful.”

Ryu tells Ayane, “You have to remember that she is using some kind of jutsu to look like she did when she was younger.”

Rachel says, with a smile, “But you have got to admit that she is quite the looker. She must have the talk of the village back in the day through I wonder if those ‘knockers’ of hers are real.”

Kalin coughs and he tells Rachel, “Excuse me, Rachel-san, but I think that it is best not to say such things with our young Signers around.”

Rachel says, with a grin, “Come on, it is like Haku here said that they are classified as adults.”

Ayane says, pointing to Naruto and Hinata, who is blushing, “They are the ninja. Davis, my bro, and I are not, Rachel-san.” Soon enough, while Naruto sits by Jiraiya, the rest of our heroes and heroines sit down in nearby tables and order some food.

Shizune thinks in her mind, “I can’t believe it! To meet two of the other Sannin in just one day.”

Tsunade says, after taking another drink of sake, “It is like a reunion. Some of the old faces coming back after sometime.”

Jiraiya says, with a plain tone, “You mean Orochimaru?” Shizune gasps in surprise and Jiraiya asks, curiously and in a serious tone, “What just happened?”

After Tsunade glares at Shizune, she replies, “Nothing much. We said hello and that’s about it.”

Ninja Ryu replies, with a plain tone, “Forgive me for disagreeing with you, Lady Tsunade, but I don’t think that someone like Orochimaru comes to you to say hello.”

Tsunade asks, glaring, “And who are you?”

Ninja Ryu tells Tsunade, “My name is Ryu Hayabusa, leader of the Hayabusa clan.”

Tsunade’s and Shizune’s eyes grow wide and Shizune thinks in her mind, shocked, “So, it is true! A member of the Hayabusa clan is here like Orochimaru said! But what is he doing here?”

Ninja Ryu says, motioning to Kasumi, Ninja Ayane, and Momiji, “And these are Kasumi, former heiress of the Mugen Tenshin clan, her half-sister, Ayane, and Momiji, one of the Dragon Shrine Priestess.”

Momiji says, with a bow of her head, “It is an honor to meet you, Lady Tsunade.”

Tsunade replies, with a sigh, “I’m sure, Momiji-san.” Tsunade takes out a deck of cards, shuffles them up, and passes them to Jiraiya. Tsunade then asks, “So, Jiraiya, why have you been looking for me?”

As Jiraiya cuts and reshuffles, he says, “I’ll cut right to the chase. The Third Hokage and the ninja council in their great wisdom have nominated you to succeed the Old Man as Fifth Hokage.” Shizune and Tsunade give looks of surprise and she then deals out the cards. Jiraiya tells Tsunade, “I’m sure that you heard about Orochimaru’s attempt on the Third Hokage’s life and his attempt on the village.”

Tsunade says, with a plain tone, “That’s right. I heard that he had the Old Man on the ropes and he then ran into unexpected trouble.”

Naruto thinks in his mind, with a sigh, “Like my mom revived as some kind of undead or whatever Dark Signer bent on becoming what I refused to let those jerks in the village turn me into.” Naruto asks, seriously, “Hey, what do you know about that snake?”

Jiraiya tells Naruto, “Did you forget that Orochimaru is one of us, a Sannin, like Tsunade and myself?”

Naruto replies, “Oh, yeah. But I don’t get it! The three Sannin come from the Leaf right! Why did he betray and abandon the village like that?”

Tsunade asks, plainly, “Who is this brat with you?”

Naruto growls at Tsunade and Jiraiya tells her, “You really don’t recognize him, do you? But then again, you never saw him when he was born, so, I’m not surprised. However, I thought that even through he isn’t as handsome as his pops, I thought that the eyes and hair would give it away.”

Tsunade tells Jiraiya, annoyed, “Just tell me who he is already, Jiraiya.”

Jiraiya replies, seriously, “He is the son of my last student and your last student, Tsunade: Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.”

Tsunade gasps in shock, nearly dropping her cards, and she asks, stunned, “Kushina’s son…”

Shizune asks, stunned, “But I thought…?”

Jiraiya replies, plainly, “You were lied to, Tsunade. He lived and he was indeed was the one that his dad sealed the fox into.” Tsunade looks at Naruto, sees an image of both Minato Namikaze AKA Fourth Hokage and Kushina over him, and she looks at her cards in which her fingers start to crush the cards.

Tsunade says, lowly and her tone filled with venom and anger, “Those rotten little assholes... they used my grief of Kushina’s death… to… they knew what I would if I knew that…”

Jiraiya tells Tsunade, “Take him away from the village and keep him far away, Tsunade? And that’s the point. They wanted to keep him here and use him as many things in which they are all not good. And you know what his life in the village was most likely like, Tsunade. However, you must have noticed that I used his full name now.”

Tsunade asks, seriously, “I did notice that, Jiraiya. What are you thinking?”

Jiraiya tells Tsunade, “The world already knows. With your traveling around, I’m not surprised that you didn’t hear, but I thought the way that the news spread, I thought that you would hear something. Around a few months ago, there was an ‘incident’ in the village and Naruto’s heritage became public to the village itself. It caused quite a bit of an uproar with a few villages refusing to believe that he is Minato’s kid due to you know what. The complete morons of the village I assure you. However, the Old Man tried to keep it secret, but we know that the information leaked out when Stone Village teams went after Naruto during the Chunin Exams. However, the excuse was enough to allow the Old Man to get the Fire Daimyo on this and you know how close the Fire Daimyo was to Minato and Kushina. These days, let’s just say that those in the civilian council are… out in the cold.”

Tsunade says, with a snort, “About time those assholes got the boot.”

After Jiraiya traded in some cards for others, he gain a full house, smiles, and he tells Tsunade, seriously, “Anyway, that’s a story for a later day. Right now, I’ll say it again. The Old Man and the village have named you his successor, the Fifth Hokage. So, what’s your answer? Do you accept it Tsunade?”

As Tsunade remains silent, Shizune thinks in her mind, worriedly, “She can’t be seriously thinking about taking Orochimaru’s offer?”

Tsunade puts all of her cards down and she says, plainly, “Impossible, I decline.”

There are plenty of shocked and surprised look as well as gasps in which Jiraiya says, with a grin, “You know, it is kind of funny. Those are the same words on the first and only time that I asked you out.”

Naruto yells out, annoyed, “Hey, Pervy Sage! We need her back in the village to help Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke! This isn’t time to go back and talk about your life story here!”

Jiraiya tells Naruto, “Easy, Naruto. She can’t refuse. There is no one better for this job. No one gave more in the great wars of the past. She did more even than your dad. She combined the skills of a warrior with being an unparalleled healer. Plus, she is the granddaughter of the First Hokage and grandniece of the Second Hokage, the First Hokage’s brother. In heritage and skill, she is the only choice to be Fifth Hokage. And once she accepts her destiny, we can bring her back to heal your teammate and your teacher, Naruto. This was thought of well by the ninja council and the Old Man himself. Sorry, Naruto, no disrespect, this isn’t anything that a young Genin like you is supposed to know.”

Naruto tells Jiraiya, “Hey, Pervy Sage, I’m the kid of a Hokage too! And my dad is also a legend!”

Jiraiya says, with a nod, “True, Naruto. However, you are still growing and when your dad took the position from the Old Man, he was fully ready to take the position and trust me, he was ready. You need far more time to mature, if you can with your mother’s blood in your veins, and gain experience which Tsunade greatly outranks you in that department. You show great promise, but you are nowhere near ready to take the position of Hokage like your dad was when he took the position.”

Tsunade tells Jiraiya, “You are slipping, Jiraiya. So, you are taking Minato’s kid as your new student, but he is nothing like his dad. He is loud-mouthed, a fool, and funny looking too!”

Naruto asks, with a growl, “Oh, yeah?!”

Jiraiya tells Tsunade, with a grin, “To be fair, it would be hard for Naruto to match up with his dad. Minato had all the signs to become the greatest ninja of all talent. Brilliant, popular, full of talent and ability, and to top it all off, almost as good looking as his teacher. However, those words that you mention Naruto was like, I remember Kushina was made fun of as a kid because she was ‘funny looking’ and she was also called ‘loud mouthed’ too if I do remember and remember how she turned out? She was almost as famous as her husband. She went from ‘Red Hot-Blooded Habanero’ to ‘Red Storm’ in which she had you to thank for that, Tsunade. You should also remember that he comes from the Uzumaki clan, the legendary ‘clan of longevity’, and while he hasn’t inherited all of his dad’s good looks, he has inherited his mom’s talent for ninjutsu. Take a look at what he is wearing and as you can see, he is a Chunin already. Even the exams were interrupted by Orochimaru, he has shown the knack of doing well.”

Tsunade says, with a plain tone, “Fine, Jiraiya. You have made your point. So, Minato’s and Kushina’s kid is a pretty good ninja after all. However, his old man, the Fourth Hokage, had all that you said and where did it he end up? Throwing his whole life away for the sake of the village and not only that, they turned his own child, after all he did for them, into the scapegoat for their troubles not to mention making him an orphan. Money is one thing and lives are another. To risk your life and the life of those closest to you, it is a sucker’s bet.”

Naruto thinks in his mind, angrily, “A sucker’s bet? She is calling what my dad did for other’s a sucker’s bet?!”

Tsunade says, with a plain tone, “My grandpa and granduncle gave their lives to the village and they are dead and gone in which the village is no safer than it ever was.”

There are plenty of shocked looks on the ninja group and Kasumi thinks in her mind, stunned, “This is the legendary Leaf kunoichi, Lady Tsunade?”

Jiraiya tells Tsunade, with a plain tone, “It sounds like you have changed, Tsunade. I don’t know what made you like this, but to say such things out loud?”

Tsunade replies, with a wicked smirk, “Don’t forget that I’m not as young as I look. The years taught me a great deal. Sarutobi-sensei should have known better and it looks like he is finally doing the smart thing for once by trying to put the job on someone else. What did he expect trying to be a hero at his age? Playing at Hokage? Count me out! It is a fool’s game!”

Naruto slams his fist into the table, breaking off a chunk of it, and he yells out, angrily, “All right, that does it, your rotten piece of dirt! No one and I mean no one insults the Old Man! I may have my issues, but I still have a lot of respect of him! And not only that, you are insult my dad! Insulting all he did and spitting on his grave much like those assholes back in the village did! That pisses me off to no end! I don’t care if you are a lady! I’m going to snap you like a twig and make you say your sorry on my dad’s grave!”

Jiraiya thinks in his mind, sweatdropping, “Here we go, folks. Tsunade just had to push the wrong buttons like that.”

Hinata says, lowly, “Naruto-kun…”

Tsunade then says, with a smirk, “Are you challenging me, squirt? You’ve got guts, brat. Let’s take this outside.”

Shizune says, nervously, “No, Lady Tsunade! This is Kushina-sama’s child!”

Naruto says, with a sneer, “Fine by me! I’m going to make you regret insulting my dad and the Old Man like that! Lady or not, you are going to get the beat down that you deserve!”

With the others, Ayane thinks with a sigh, “This is going to end well. I know that Naruto is pissed off! If someone insulted the work that my dad and mom did, I would be pissed off too! But my dad taught me about ‘biting off more than I chew’.”

Haku thinks, with a sigh, “Like Naruto-sama’s friend says: ‘This is going to be troublesome.’” Back in the Leaf Village, two male members of the Nara clan sneezed loudly that the village could hear it.

(A short time later; back outside)

Right now, we find Tsunade and Naruto facing off against each other with Shizune by Tsunade’s side and the others besides Naruto with Hinata having a worried look on her face.

Haku tells Naruto, “Naruto-sama, don’t you think that you are taking this too far?”

Davis says, with a plain tone, “That hag insulted his pops, so, he has a right to be pissed off.” Tsunade gives an annoyed look at Davis for his ‘hag’ comment.

Tsunade says, with a smirk, “You might be Kushina’s and Minato’s kid, but you are still a snot-nosed Chunin, brat! And me, a legendary Sannin, going up against a snot-nosed Chunin like you? I should be ashamed of myself.”

Davis thinks in his mind, with a snort, “Yeah right, you bag of bones.”

Naruto yells out, annoyed, “Who are you calling snot-nosed?”

Tsunade holds up one finger and she says, “See this finger, brat? This is all I’m going to need to take you down. You might be Minato’s and Kushina’s kid, but this is all I’ll need to take you down because I knew Kushina and you are just like her to a capital ‘U’ for Uzumaki.”

Ninja Ryu replies, “I think that you are underestimating Naruto’s abilities, Lady Tsunade.”

Shizune asks, pleadingly, “Please, Lady Tsunade, don’t!”

Tsunade asks, slyly, “What are you waiting for?”

Naruto yells out, “Don’t ever underestimate me!” Naruto attacks with two shuriken in which Tsunade dodges with ease and Naruto comes at her with a kunai, but with only one finger, she disarms him, uses the kunai to knock his headband clear off his head, and with one finger of that finger, she sends crashing on the ground rolling end over end for about ten yards or so.

Shizune calls out, shocked, “Lady Tsunade!”

Hinata and Ayane yell out in unison, stunned, “Naruto-kun/Naruto!”
Naruto thinks in his mind, stunned, “A flick to the forehead and she sent me flying?” Just then his kunai and headband land on the ground in front of him hard and he thinks, shocked, “Whoa! She is strong!”

Davis says, with a whistle, “Whoa, man! I heard that she was powerful, but that’s nuts!”

Veemon says, with a nod, “No kidding, Davis!”

Tsunade yells out, “Hey, kid! One question before you pass out! What I don’t get is that they treated you like dirt and insulted you and spat on the memory of your dad and mom after all they did for the village. They betrayed your dad’s last wish for you to be treated as a great hero and yet, you want to be Hokage? Why do you care? And why so touché about it?”

Naruto says, with a smile, “Unlike you, it is my goal. To become just like my dad and prove those rotten assholes that they were wrong about me. I have more reasons to become Hokage than that, but remember this: To be Hokage, it is my dream.” Just then Tsunade sees images of two people that makes her eyes widen in which she lowers her guard down thinking about them. Naruto thinks in his mind, closing his eyes, “She let her guard down. She might be a pain in the ass, but she is no joke! I need to go all out against her and while I really hate to use IT’S chakra, I may have to like I did for that asshole snake. But she isn’t expecting something like this, believe it!” Naruto’s eyes shoot open revealing his Rinnegan eyes.

Shizune says, stunned, “His eyes…!” When Tsunade looks to see Naruto’s Rinnegan eyes, it was too late.

“Shinra Tensei!”

Tsunade is then blasted by a powerful gravity force that sends her flying to the air much to the shock of her assistant.

Shizune exclaims, shocked, “Lady Tsunade!” However, Tsunade manages to recover from the attack and manages to flip back onto her feet.

Tsunade thinks in his mind, “His eyes… it can’t be…!” Naruto then puts his hands together in familiar hand sign.

“Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!”

Just then Naruto brings dozens upon dozens of Shadow Clones of himself in which many of them charge with kunai in their hands and attack Tsunade, but she manages to, barely, fend them off using her one finger through using a kunai stolen from a Shadow Clone in the process.

Tsunade thinks in her mind, “So many clones and they are solid clones! But then again, with the fox sealed inside of him, he must have massive chakra reserves and with fox enhancing his Uzumaki stamina, he must be able to produce hundreds if not thousands of clones!” But then the real Naruto charges in with a flaming sphere of fire chakra being formed with the help of two of his Shadow Clones and heading straight for Tsunade who thinks in her mind, “That jutsu… it looks like…”

“Fire Style: Flare Rasengan!”

Tsunade then slams her finger into the ground creating a deep crevice to form in the ground causing Naruto to trip in which Tsunade leaps out of the way while Naruto’s attack goes off course in which it slams into the ground causing a large explosion of flames which sends Naruto flying back head over heels.

Tsunade looks at the deep crater form by the attack and she thinks in her mind, surprised, “I can’t believe it! That jutsu! It looked liked Minato’s Rasengan, but more… more advanced! It had a chakra nature added to it!”

Hinata asks, concerned, “Naruto-kun, are you okay?”

Naruto says, rubbing his head, “I’m okay, Hinata-chan. She got lucky that’s all.”

Ryu tells Naruto, “I believe it was more than lucky.”

Veemon says, amazed, “She split the ground with just her finger!”

Jiraiya thinks in his mind, “She is just as strong as ever. I remember the time that she punched me so hard that she sent me one hundred meters in the other direction. Ouch. Naruto, what were you thinking of taking her on? You might have the Rinnegan and created more advanced versions of the Rasengan, but you are nowhere near the combat abilities of Tsunade, drunk or not.”

Tsunade asks Jiraiya, “Okay, Jiraiya, what was that? Did you teach this brat the Rasengan?”

Jiraiya says, with a sly grin, “And why not? It is his dad’s jutsu and by all rights, it belongs to him. And by the way, he managed to learn it in just under two weeks too.”

Tsunade and Shizune gasp in shock and Tsunade yells out, stunned, “No way, Jiraiya! That’s impossible! He may be Minato’s and Kushina’s son, but even with Kushina’s ninjutsu talent, he couldn’t have done it in under two weeks.”

Jiraiya says, with a grin, “Well, Tsunade, he did. And he knows how to use Shadow Clones to accelerate his training too which helped him complete the Fourth Hokage’s jutsu in which you just saw and that was over two weeks later.”

Tsunade thinks in her mind, “Shadow Clones? Now, it makes sense! Unlike regular clones, Shadow Clones transmits its experiences back to the original when dispelled and with this kid’s chakra levels, due to the Nine-Tailed Fox, and his massive stamina and endurance due to a combination of his Uzumaki heritage and the fox, he can produce hundreds to thousands of Shadow Clones which can accelerate his training to levels not seen before.”

Jiraiya tells Tsunade, “Even you have got to admit that if that attack hit home, you would have been in real pain right now.”

Tsunade replies, with a snort, “Okay, fine, the brat has got some skills, I’ll admit that, but do you really think with the Rinnegan and the blood of Minato and Kushina flowing through his veins that he can truly become Hokage himself?”

Naruto says, with a snort, “Shows how much you know, you old hag!”

Tsunade glares at Naruto and she asks, with a deadly glare, “What did you just call me brat?!”
Naruto yells out, “You heard me you selfish old brat! I will become Hokage! Personally, I wouldn’t deal with someone like you if not for the reason that you are the only one that can help my comrades! After you are done healing my friends, I really don’t care what you do, but lives are at stake here and I’ve had enough of your mouth! I’m going to bring you back even if I have to beat you to a pulp to do it! Believe it!”

Tsunade says, with a smirk, “Big talk from a snot nosed brat!”

Naruto says, with a glare, “Fine, witch! I didn’t want to use this, but you give me no other choice! Sorry, Hayabusa-sensei and you, Pervy Sage, but this has to be done!” Naruto then focuses and unleashes the Kyuubi’s chakra which forms its classic chakra cloak around Naruto’s body.

Shizune asks, stunned, “What the?!”

Jiraiya says, with a sly smile, “Oops. I think that I forgot to mention this too. He has complete control of the Nine-Tailed Fox’s chakra too.” Tsunade’s eyes grow wide, but she doesn’t have time when Naruto vanish and reappears right in front of her, landing a powerful blow to her mid-section, sending her tumbling backwards.

Shizune yells out, shocked, “Lady Tsunade!” Naruto leaps into the air and dive-bombs Tsunade who manages to leap out of the way as he slams into the ground causing a huge eruption of dirt and dust from his form crashing into the ground.

Tsunade thinks in her mind, with a sneer, “Jiraiya, you asshole!” But then chakra arms come out of the dirt and dust cloud in which they grab onto her causing her to gasp in shock as Naruto flies towards her and rearing back for another powerful punch, but Tsunade puts her right arm into a fist and lands a blow right in Naruto’s face sending him flying backwards into the ground creating an even larger explosion of dirt and dust which Tsunade would have been pulled into if her attack on Naruto did cause Naruto’s chakra arms to lose their grip on Tsunade.

Hinata exclaims, horrified, “Naruto-kun!”

Tsunade lands on the ground safely, winches from pain in her right hand, and she thinks, “That chakra… punching that dense yokai chakra can’t be done too many times. That kid might have control over it, but due to his Uzumaki heritage and having the fox sealed in him on the day he was born is the only way that his body isn’t damaged. People like me need to watch out when we contact that chakra.” Out of the smoke and dust, Naruto leaps out and lands on the ground safely not looking too much worse for the wear.

Davis asks, amazed, “He’s okay?”

Jiraiya says, with a plain tone, “It’s due to his stamina and endurance combined with that chakra cloak. If he didn’t have it up, Naruto would have been in real pain despite his endurance.”

Naruto massages his jaw and he yelps out, “Ow, man! That really hurt!”

Tsunade says, with a smirk, “I’ve got to admit that you can take a punch well just like your mother.”

Naruto says, with a snort, “And what right do you have to talk about my mom much less say her name? With that kind of attitude and your words, you just spat in the face of my mom!”

Tsunade yells out, angrily, “How dare you? I cared about your mother a lot! She was like a daughter to me!”

Naruto retorts, “Oh, yeah! Then why go and insult my dad, the person that she loved more than anything?” Tsunade yelps in surprise and Naruto says, with a serious and nasty tone, “When you insulted him, you also spat in the face of my mom, who my dad loved very much and who my mom felt the same, you hypocrite!” Tsunade growls at Naruto, but she lowers her head knowing that he does have a point.

Davis says, winching, “Ouch!”

Ayane asks, winching, “Isn’t Naruto hitting a bit below the belt?”

Rachel says, with a plain tone, “Maybe, kid, but he does have a point. And hitting her ‘below the belt’ might be the only way to make her see thing our way.”

Jiraiya thinks in his mind, “I’m surprised that Naruto knows what the word ‘hypocrite’ means, but then again, he is full of surprises.”

Naruto then deactivates his Kyuubi chakra cloak and he yells out, “You know what?! I’m done with a selfish old bag like you! I’ll find another way to help Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke! Believe it! And then I need on focusing saving the world!”

As Naruto walks away, Tsunade replies, with a smirk, “Chickening out, brat?”

Naruto replies, with a snort, “I never back down from a fight, but my senseis always taught me to ‘see the bigger picture’ or something like that. Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke don’t have time for me to fight a glorified washed up old bag of bones, Granny!” Tsunade growls at Naruto in annoyance and he yells out, “They need my help and they need it now! I can’t become Hokage standing around fighting you all night, Grandma! And I also got more important things to do like saving the world and that stuff! Believe it!”

Tsunade asks, annoyed tone in her voice, “And what do you mean by that, brat? Trying to be a hero?”

Ninja Ryu replies, with a plain tone, “It is his duty as one of the warriors of the Crimson Dragon.”

Shizune and Tsunade give looks of surprise and Shizune thinks in her mind, stunned, “The Crimson Dragon?!”

Tsunade says, with a scoff, “So, you are bringing fairy tales into the picture? Come on…!”

Naruto says, displaying his ‘Mark of the Dragon, “It’s no fairy tale, lady!” Shizune and Tsunade gasp in shock when they see it in which Ayane, Ryu, Hinata, and Davis display their ‘Marks of the Dragon’ as well.

Shizune thinks in her mind, shocked, “It is just like the legend spoke of!”

Jiraiya tells Tsunade, “I’m sure that you felt that spike in power over a few months ago, Tsunade. That was the Crimson Dragon.”

Tsunade says, her expression still showing shock, “That power… it was…”

Haku tells Tsunade, “It was Lady Tsunade. That ‘incident’ that Jiraiya-sama told about Naruto-sama’s heritage getting revealed involved the Crimson Dragon and it is partially the force that aided him in gaining control of the Kyuubi’s FULL power.”

Jiraiya tells Tsunade, with a plain tone, “Orochimaru is also after Crimson Dragon’s power too. It is a long story, but I’m sure that he gave you an idea when you said ‘hello’, Tsunade.” Tsunade then remember her ‘talk’ with Orochimaru and he mentions about destroying the Leaf Village after his arms were healed as well as getting something that he desires greatly.

Tsunade says, with a plain tone, “He may have implied something like that. But even if it is true, they are just kids. Encouraging them to become heroes?! Ha! All they’ll do is just flying to their deaths just like the gaki’s dad here.”

Davis says, with a snort, “Like Naruto said: ‘Shows how much you know, you bag of bones.’”

Tsunade glares at Davis and Ryu says, displaying his ‘Mark of the Dragon’, “We might be facing death, but I know that as long as we have our friends and each other, I know that as long as the power of our bonds hold, we won’t lose to anyone just like our parents before us.”

Tsunade asks, curiously, “What do you mean by that?”

Jiraiya sighs and Ninja Ayane says, plainly, “The previous Signers, including Lady Ayane’s and Ryu-sama’s parents, were murdered just over two months ago.”

Shizune and Tsunade gasp in shock and Kasumi says, “Ninja from the Elemental Countries murdered the previous Signers in which Ryu-sama’s and Ayane-sama’s parents, Yusei and Akiza Fudo, had their ‘Marks of the Dragon’, the Crimson Dragon’s head and front claw, passed down to them. A friend of the Third Hokage aided Ryu’s and Ayane’s escape from them and sent them here in the Elemental Countries to find allies to help them in which they ran into Team 7, Naruto-sama’s team, in Wave Country. Soon after, Lady Hinata, Naruto-sama, and Motomiya-sama became the newest Signers, their ‘Marks of the Dragon’ passed down because of the qualities that they possess, Lady Tsunade.”

Ninja Ayane says, with a plain tone, “Among our many quests, we are trying to find the people that murdered the previous Signers and why as well as stop whatever evil plans that they have for the Signers and the Crimson Dragon.”

Shizune says, horrified, “That’s horrible.”

Naruto tells Tsunade, with a glare, “But why should you care? And don’t give us any crap about your lost loved ones! Yeah, Pervy Sage didn’t give me any details, but he just mentioned it!” Tsunade looks at Jiraiya in which he winches from her glare and Naruto says, with a plain tone, “Well, guess what? I lost people and I never got to know them! And it was because of some freak that wanted to use the fox to destroy the Leaf Village!”

Tsunade asks, surprised, “Huh?”

Jiraiya tells Tsunade, with a sigh, “I should have told you that before. You see, the Nine-Tailed Fox attack on the Leaf Village on the day of Naruto’s birth. We just found out that the fox didn’t come to attack our village at random or something like that. Someone was controlling the Nine-Tailed Fox. Someone very powerful that we thought was dead and this person is the same person that your grandfather fought in the Valley of Ends.”

Tsunade asks, stunned, “Wait! You mean… Madara Uchiha?”

Jiraiya replies, with a plain tone, “The very same and there is something else that you need to know. There was a reason why you weren’t chosen to help Kushina when she was giving birth to Naruto, something the Old Man kept hidden for a pretty good reason, despite what others might say.”

Tsunade asks, seriously, “And what is that Jiraiya?”

Naruto yells out, “We don’t have time for this, Pervy Sage! If she isn’t going to help us, then we need to find someone that will Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke! She might be this great ‘super-healer’ or something, but it doesn’t mean that there isn’t another way to help Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke! And I’ll find it! Believe it! I’m not going to waste time with this old bat!”

Tsunade says, holding Naruto’s wallet, “Oh, really? I think that you will give me the time of day, brat.”

Naruto yells out, shocked, “Gama!” Naruto goes through his Chunin vest and jumpsuit in which he yells out, angrily, “Hey, you! How did you do that?!”

But before anything else can be said or done, plenty of the group sense ‘presences’ around them and Jiraiya says, with a plain tone, “We know that you are there. It is time to come out.” Soon after, footsteps can be heard and the figure with the group of dressed like SWAT units appear in front of them.

The figure says, with a sly tone, “Nice work, but I’m not surprised with you people. Anyway, my business with the people with those ‘birthmarks’ on their right arms.”

Davis asks, seriously, “And what do you want with us?”

The figure says, with a plain tone, “Simple, I want the Signers to create the ultimate duelist and I want the five of you to come with us.” As the group starts to flinch, the people dressed in SWAT gear with the weapons prepare to attack and the figure says, with a sinister sly tone, “I wouldn’t try it. Plenty of you might escape, but those members of your little group that don’t have your skills might not be so lucky.”

Jiraiya asks, with a deadly glare, “And what makes you think that you will be use your weapons in time?”

The figure asks, with a wicked sly tone, “Do you wish to find out?” The figure says, with a sly tone, “Anyway, I have a better way to do this. We challenge one of you to a duel. If you win, we leave you alone for now. But if you lose, all of you agree to come with us. However, remember, you have you in our sights and if you don’t care about yourself, what about the others?”

Davis says, stepping forward, “I’ll take you on then.”

Ayane asks Davis, “Are you sure about this Davis?”

Davis tells Ayane, with a grin, “What kind of opponent can they throw against me?”

The figure replies, with a sinister sly tone, “This kind of opponent, kid.” Everyone then looks to see what seems like Yugi Moto himself come out into the open.

There are gasps and Ayane asks, stunned, “Is that Yugi Moto, the first world-wide Duel Monsters Champion?”

Ninja Ryu says, with a plain tone, “No, it is a copy of him. The real Yugi Moto was twenty-seven years old when Jaden Yuki was just fifteen and Leon, his child, is in his an adult here, so, the real Yugi Moto would be way older if he was still alive. These people must be members of the rogue group from the DOAETC, who left the DOAETC after their leader was killed in the fourth Dead or Alive tournament. And DOAETC had cloning technology.”

Kasumi says, with a nod, “They cloned me many times and created an ‘advanced clone’ of me as well.”

The figure says, with a sly tone, “You are right. This isn’t the real Yugi Moto. This is the Y1, a clone of Yugi Moto in his prime, and if you want to know how we got his DNA, it was easy for us.”

Ninja Ayane says, “The DOAETC had much influence all over the world and still has. It wouldn’t be surprising that the current DOAETC has some ‘moles’ working for their rogue group.”

The figure tells Y1, the clone of Yugi Moto, “You know what to do, Y1?”

Y1 replies, in Yugi’s voice when he was an adult, “Of course.”

Davis says, as he takes out Crow’s Duel Disk from a storage scroll, “If you think that I’m going to lose to some fake, then you are nuts.”

The figure tells Davis, with a sinister smile, “While he isn’t the real deal, he is exactly like Yugi Moto in his prime and we have duplicated his deck, minus the God Cards, perfectly.”

Ryu then takes out a card and he says, throwing it to Davis, “Davis, take this card!” Davis takes the card, his eyes widen at it, and he gives a smile as he adds it to his new deck putting it into Crow’s former duel disk. Soon after, Y1 and Davis activate their duel disk with Y1’s Duel Disk begin a modernized version of Yugi Moto’s Battle City Duel Disk similar to Yusei’s Duel Disk, their decks are shuffled, and they draw five cards as their life-point counters display 4000 life-points each.

Y1 yells out, “Let’s duel!”

Davis calls out, “Game on, pal!”

Starting Scores:
Davis: 4000
Y1: 4000

Y1 says, drawing a card, “I’ll take the first turn! My draw!” Y1 says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Ancient Rules spell card! This card allows me to play one level five or higher Normal Monster from my hand!” Y1 says, putting one card on his duel disk, “And I choose my Dark Magician!” Just then Dark Magician (2500/2100), much like the one that Yugi Moto/Atem played in the past, appears on the field in attack mode. Y1 says, putting two cards into the spell/trap slots, “I shall end with two cards face-down!”

Davis says, drawing a card, “It’s my move!” Davis says, putting one card on his duel disk, “Since you have monsters on the field and I don’t, I can special summon Blackwing-Sirocco the Dawn in attack mode!” In front of Davis, Blackwing-Sirocco the Dawn (2000/900) comes to the field in attack mode. Davis says, putting another card on his duel disk, “And since I have another Blackwing on the field, I can Bora the Spear as well, dude!” Just then Blackwing-Bora the Spear (1700/800) appears on the field in attack mode and Davis says, putting a third card on his duel disk, “And for the same reason, I can play my Gale the Whirlwind as well!” Soon after, Blackwing-Gale the Whirlwind (1300/400) appears on the field in attack mode as well. Davis says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “Next, I activate my Delta Crow-Anti Reverse trap card from my hand and I can do that since I have three Blackwing monsters on the field! Now, all face-down spell and trap cards on your field are destroyed!

Y1 says, stunned, “Oh no!” Just then the two face-down cards on Y1’s field are destroyed.

Davis says, with a serious tone, “And now, I tune my level five Sirocco the Dawn with my Gale the Whirlwind!” Gale the Whirlwind then transforms into three stars that turn into three rings that surround Sirocco the Dawn making him become transparent before a column of light appears on the field. As Davis takes a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck, he chants out, “Darkened gales, become the wings that soar from resolved hope! Synchro Summon!” Davis puts the Synchro Monster card on his duel disk and yells out, “Time to fly, Black-Winged Dragon!” Out of the light, Black-Winged Dragon (2800/1600) appears on the field in attack mode.

When the five Signers ‘Marks of the Dragon’ glow in unison, Shizune thinks in her mind, amazed, “They’re… They’re glowing.”
Tsunade thinks in her mind, “So, the legends are true.”

Davis says, putting one card on his duel disk, “Since I successfully Synchro Summoned, I can play this monster: The Tuner monster, Synchro Magnet, in attack mode!” Just then Synchro Magnet (1000/600) appears on the field in attack mode. Davis says, putting the last card from his hand on his duel disk, “Finally, I play my Tuningware in attack mode too!” Tuningware (100/300) then appears on the field in attack mode. Davis yells out, “And now, I tune my Synchro Magnet with my Bora the Spear and Tuningware!” Synchro Magnet turns into three stars that turn into three rings that surround Bora the Spear and Tuningware making them become transparent before a column of light appears on the field. Davis chants out, after taking a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck, “The ruler’s heartbeats will now file through here! Take witness to its creation-shaking power! Synchro Summon!” Davis then puts the card on his duel disk and he yells out, “Meet another of my new friends, the mighty Red Dragon Archfiend!” Out of the light, Red Dragon Archfiend (3000/2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

There are plenty of gasps and Naruto yells out, “No way! That’s my Signer Dragon!”

Ayane tells Naruto, with a sigh, “Didn’t we tell you about how Davis got a copy of our dragons too, Naruto?”

Naruto says, with a nervous smile, “Oh, yeah, you did Ayane.”

The figure thinks in his mind, “Two Synchro Monsters in the same turn?!”

Davis says, drawing a card, “By the way, fake, I get one more card from Tuningware since he was used for a Synchro Summon!” Davis says, displaying a spell card with a picture of group of Synchro Monsters assembled around a present, “Now, I activate my Synchro Surprise spell card! Now, for every Synchro Monster on my field, I get two extra cards and since I have two, I get four new cards!” Davis draws four new cards from his deck and he yells out, “Black-Winged Dragon, destroy his Dark Magician! Noble Stream!” Black-Winged Dragon launches its dark red energy attack that slams into Dark Magician, destroying him, and causing Y1 to lose 300 life-points. Davis yells out, “Red Dragon Archfiend, you’re next! Absolute Power Force!”

Red Dragon Archfiend charge in with a flaming right claw, but Y1 says, discarding one Kuriboh (300/200) monster card, “By discarding Kuriboh, all damage to me is negated!” When Y1 discards the card, an image of Kuriboh appears to protect Y1 from the attack.

Davis says, putting two cards into the spell/trap slots, “Why am I not surprised, pal? You might have Yugi’s deck, but not his heart!”

Current Score:
Davis: 4000
Y1: 3700

Y1 says, with a serious tone, “We shall see who’s heart is stronger!” Y1 draws a card, puts into the spell/trap slots of his duel disk, and he says, “I play Pot of Greed and draw two more cards!” Y1 draws two more cards and he says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “Then I play my Silent Doom! I can now revive one monster from my grave! Return, Dark Magician!” Just then Dark Magician (2500/2100) returns to the field in defense mode. Y1 says, putting one more card into the spell/trap slots, “Next, I activate the Dedication Through Light and Darkness! With this spell card, I can release my Dark Magician to play my mighty Dark Magician of Chaos!” A card comes out of Y1’s deck and when he puts on his duel disk, Dark Magician vanishes in which Dark Magician of Chaos (2800/2600) appears on the field in attack mode. A card comes out of Y1’s graveyard and he says, “And now, I can take one spell card from my graveyard and add it to my hand! I choose Pot of Greed and activate it again!” Y1 puts the said spell card into the spell/trap slots and then draws two more cards. Y1 puts another card into the spell/trap slots and he yells out, “Then I play my Awakening from Beyond! I get to put one monster card from my graveyard into my hand while you get to draw two more cards!” A card comes out of Y1’s graveyard while Davis draws two more cards.

Davis thinks in his mind, “It’s a no brainer on what monster he chose from his grave! He has only one monster card there!”

Y1 says, putting one more card into the spell/trap slots, “And now, I activate Polymerization! I fuse my Dark Magician with my Buster Blader to create my mighty Dark Paladin in attack mode!” Y1 discards two monster cards, Dark Magician (2500/2100) and Buster Blader (2600/2300) appear on the field before going into a fusion vortex, and when Y1 puts a Fusion Monster card from his Extra Deck on his duel disk, Dark Paladin (2900/2400) comes out of the vortex in attack mode. Y1 says, with a serious tone, “My Dark Paladin gains five hundred attack points for every dragon monster on the field and in our graveyards! And since you have two, my Dark Paladin gains one thousand attack points!” Dark Paladin’s stats go up from 2900/2400 to 3900/2400! Y1 yells out, “Dark Paladin, destroy his Red Dragon Archfiend now!” Dark Paladin attacks Red Dragon Archfiend using mystical waves to cut it into piece and Davis yelps out as he loses 900 life-points.

Davis says, pushing a button on his duel disk, “I activate my Miracle’s Wake!” Davis’ face-down card is revealed to be Miracle’s Wake trap card and Davis yells out, “Now, I can revive one monster destroyed in battle!” Soon after, Red Dragon Archfiend (3000/2000) returns to the field in attack mode.

Y1 says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I shall end my turn with one card face-down.”

Current Score:
Davis: 3100
Y1: 3700

Davis says, drawing one card from his deck, “It’s my turn now!” Davis says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Fusion Birth spell card! I send the top five cards in my deck to the graveyard and if there are Fusion Material monster in those cards, I can Fusion Summon said monster!” Davis draws five cards, discards a Fusion Sage spell card, a Spy Hero spell card, a Necro Gardna (600/1300) monster card, Gaia the Fierce Knight (2300/2100) monster card, and Curse of Dragon (2000/1500) monster card, and Davis says, taking a Fusion Monster card from his Extra deck, “Since Curse of Dragon and Gaia was there, I can play Gaia the Dragon Champion!” Soon enough, Gaia the Dragon Champion (2600/2100) appears on the field in attack mode, but Dark Paladin goes up from 3900/2400 to 4900/2400. Davis says, puts one more card into the spell/trap slots, “Then I activate my Synchro Gift spell card! I take the power of one Synchro monster and transfer it to a non-Synchro Monster for this turn! So, my Black-Winged Dragon gives my Gaia a power boost!” As Black-Winged Dragon goes from 2800/1600 to 0/1600, Gaia the Dragon Champion goes up from 2600/2100 to 5400/2100! Davis says, putting another card into the spell/trap slots, “Next, I activate my Card Hexative spell card! This card allows me to pick a number of face-down cards and as long as they remain on the field, they can’t be used!”

When Y1’s face-down card is chained up, he says, seriously, “My trap card is useless!”

Davis yells out, “Gaia, destroy his Dark Paladin!” Gaia attacks Dark Paladin and impales it with his spear causing Dark Paladin to shatter in which Y1 loses 500 life-points. Davis says, with a serious tone, “Red Dragon Archfiend, destroy his Magician with Absolute Power Force!” Red Dragon Archfiend slams his flaming dragon right claw into Dark Magician of Chaos destroying it and costing Y1 200 more life-points. Davis says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I end my turn with one card face-down!”

Y1 says, drawing a card, “My move!” Y1 says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I play Card of Sanctity! This spell card forces both of us to draw until we have six cards in our hands!” Y1 and Davis draw from their decks until they have six cards in their hands and Y1 says, putting one card on his duel disk, “And since I drew my Watapon due to the effect of a spell card, I can special summon to the field immediately!” Just then Watapon (200/300) appears on the field in attack mode. Y1 says, putting one card on his duel disk, “And now, I release my Watapon in order to summon my Dark Magician Girl!” Watapon vanishes and Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700-2300/1700) appears on the field in attack mode. Y1 says, with a plain tone, “And since there is a Dark Magician in my grave, she gains three hundred attack points!” Y1 says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “Next, I play my Mage’s Power equip spell card! Now, my Dark Magician gains five hundred attack points for every spell and trap card on my field including itself! Since I have two, my Dark Magician Girl gains one grand in attack power!” Dark Magician Girl then goes up from 2300/1700 to 3300/1700 and Y1 says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “Next, I play my Double Spell card! By discarding one spell card from my hand, I can use one spell card from your graveyard as my own!” Y1 discards a Swords of Revealing Light spell card and Y1 says, with a serious tone, “And I choose your Card Hexative and make you unable to use your face-down cards!”

Davis says, nervously, “Oh, crud! That’s not good!” Davis’ face-down cards are then chained up making him unable to use them.

Y1 says, with a serious tone while putting the last card into the spell/trap slots, “And now, I use my Dark Burning Attack spell card! This card is a special card that can only be used by Dark Magician Girl! This card is allows her to attack all monsters on your side of the field, but I am unable to use spell cards until after my next turn!”

Naruto says, nervously, “That’s not good.”

Ryu says, plainly, “For Davis, Naruto.”

Y1 yells out, strongly, “Dark Magician Girl, destroy his monsters with Dark Burning Attack!” Dark Magician Girl unleashes waves of energy that destroys Gaia, Black-Winged Dragon, and Red Dragon Archfiend in which Davis winches as he loses 1500 life-points. Y1 says, with a smile, “I end my turn. You have fought well, but it looks like the heart of the cards is on my side.”

Ayane says, with a worried tone, “This is not good for Davis. He has lost three powerful monsters and he is taking one a pumped up Dark Magician Girl! Plus, his face-down cards are useless!”

Veemon tells Ayane, with a smile, “Don’t worry, Ayane! I know that Davis will pull through!”

Current Score:
Davis: 1500
Y1: 3000

The figure tells Davis, “Do you surrender, Motomiya? You might be a Signer, but it doesn’t mean squat against with the power of the first ever King of Games.”

Davis says, with a wide sly grin, “You think that faker has Yugi’s power. Give me a break! He may have his moves, his skills, his brains, and everything down to the bone, but he is not Yugi Moto because he doesn’t have the very essence of Yugi Moto and you can’t copy that! And I’m me and there is only one true me even if you cloned me a million times! My clones can never truly have what I have! I’m not going to lose because like Yugi, I have faith, and as long as I have something to fight for, I’m never ever going to give up! And I know that I’m not alone! I have people that care about me, friends, family, teammates, and more! And I know that together, we’re going to take you down!” As Davis prepares to draw his next card, the five ‘Marks of the Dragon’ vanish from their arms and the full Crimson Dragon mark appears on Davis’ back as he draws his card. When Davis looks at the card, he gives a look of surprise, but he then gives a wide grin.

Naruto asks, with a grin, “Is he smiling?”

Veemon says, with a smile, “Davis has got this duel in the bag now!”

Davis says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate Monster Reborn to revive Black-Winged Dragon!” Soon enough, Black-Winged Dragon (2800/1600) returns to the field in attack mode. Davis says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “And now, I play my One for One spell card! By discarding one monster card, I can play one level one monster from my deck!” Davis discards one Elemental Hero Bladedge (2600/1800) monster card and Davis says, putting a card that comes out of his deck on his duel disk, “And now, here comes Winged Kuriboh!” Soon after, Winged Kuriboh (300/200) appears on the field in attack mode. The little monster then chirps at Davis and he tells it, telepathically, “Nice to see you too, partner! Let’s rock and roll!”

Hinata thinks in her mind, “Is that monster…?”

Ancient Fairy Dragon replies, mentally, “That’s right, my dear. That monster is a duel spirit as well. I believe that it is his ‘spirit partner’ like I and others from Luna’s deck are yours, Hinata.”

Davis yells out, putting one more card on his duel disk, “And now, I play Majestic Dragon in attack mode!” Just then Majestic Dragon (0/0) appears on the field in attack mode.

Ayane gasps and Ayane asks, “Is Davis doing what I think he is doing?”

Ryu says, with a nod, “I believe so, sis.”

Davis calls out, “Let’s rock and roll! I tune my Majestic Dragon with my Black-Winged Dragon and Winged Kuriboh!” Soon after, all three monsters fly up into the sky and Majestic Dragon grows to engulf Black-Winged Dragon and Winged Kuriboh causing a brand new Synchro Monster card to appear on Davis’ duel disk in which he chants out, “From darkened winds, a new light shall shine on the world! Become the new wings that miracle’s soar! Synchro Summon!” When the new card fully appears on his duel disk, Davis exclaims, “Let’s fly, Majestic Winged Dragon!” Out of the light, Majestic Winged Dragon (3600/2400), a massive monster that has a head similar to Black-Winged Dragon, eight massive versions of Black-Winged Dragon’s wings, no legs, black and silver body, and a long feather filled tail, appears on the field in attack mode.

There are plenty of awe-struck looks with the others and Y1 asks, amazed, “What is this creature?”

Davis replies, with a sly tone, “Your defeat, pal! Now, I can place one Majestic Wing token on your monster and it loses its special ability for this turn which means that Dark Magician Girl has a bit of a power loss!” Just then Dark Magician Girl goes from 3300/1700 down to 3000/1700 and Davis says, with a grin, “However, I can remove that token in which your girlfriend regains her abilities, but her attack points are zero until the end of the turn! But you also lose life-points equal to half of your monster’s original attack points!”

Y1 yells out, shocked, “Oh no!” Majestic Winged Dragon unleashes a series of feathers that causes Dark Magician Girl to go from 3000/1700 to 0/1700 and Y1 loses 1000 life-points.

Naruto exclaims, excitedly, “All right, Davis! Take it on home!”

Davis calls out, “You heard Naruto, partner! End this duel with Majestic Feather Stream!” Majestic Winged Dragon then turns into a twist of red energy and feathers in which slams into Dark Magician Girl causing her to yell out as she is destroyed in which Y1 yelps out as he loses 3600 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:
Davis: 1500
Y1: 0

With the end of the duel, Y1 collapses to his knees while the final holograms fade away in which Davis smirks at his victory.

Davis says, with a grin, “I won, so, it is time for you to bug off!”

The figure replies, with a smile, “Did you really think that I would play fair, boy?” As the SWAT-like men around the figure prepare their guns, a strange staff that comes out of seemly nowhere and knocks the figure on the head. He yells out, looking around, “Who did that?” They hear footsteps and they see a cloaked figure walking towards them in which they focus on her for the moment, which was a big mistake in which it gave the ninja time to attack and take them down. The figure is thrown violently to the ground in which his neck has Ninja Ayane’s and Ninja Ryu’s sword at his neck.
Ninja Ayane tells him, plainly, “Surrender, you have lost.”

The figure replies, with a sly tone, “Not quite.” Just then a smoke grenade comes out of his sleeve and explodes creating a huge amount of smoke. After a short while, the smoke was blown away in which they find that Y1, the figure, and the SWAT dressed personal are gone!

Naruto asks, stunned, “Where did they go?”

Kasumi says, with a plain tone, “That man isn’t ordinary.”

Jiraiya says, with a plain tone, “He might be a shinobi from here, Kasumi-sama.”

Ryu says, with a smile, “Nice work, Davis. Now, we have four Majestic Signer Dragons.”

Davis says, with a grin, “No big, Ryu.” Hinata goes over, picks up the staff which is a pink and red staff with a pair of pink and red wings just below the top of the staff, with the red wings having a red heart with a golden crescent moon sigil attached, and the top of the staff has a ruby orb surround by golden rings that makes the rings and ruby orb looking like the top of a formal crown with a silvery-white flower on top, and goes over to the figure that threw it.

Hinata tells the figure, “Thank you for your help.”

The figure replies, in a female voice, “It was no problem, but I’m the one in need of your help.” The figure takes off her head to reveal the young blond female with the pigtails who’s buns looks like meatballs and the crescent moon sigil on her forehead.

Ayane gasps and she asks, amazed, “What are you doing here?”

Jiraiya asks, curiously, “You know this girl?”

Davis says, with a plain tone, “Know her? Anyone in Japan knows that girl. She is a super-heroine from the district of Juuban in Tokyo. Her name is Sailor Moon.”

The teen girl replies, “That’s right. I’m Sailor Moon.”

Ryu asks, curiously, “What are you doing here?”

Sailor Moon replies, “Looking for those with that mark on their arms. I need the Crimson Dragon’s power to save my friends. You are my only hope.” There are plenty of gasps from those that are not of the Elemental Countries.

Ninja Ayane thinks in her mind, “A famous super-heroine needing the help of the Crimson Dragon? I fear that things are starting to spin out of control.” As everyone looks at the female superhero from Japan who just said that she needs the help of our Signers, there are plenty that wonder the same thing if not have other questions in their minds including what’s to come next…

Next time in Chapter 17:

Ayane (shocked): Sailor Moon’s family has been murdered and her friends, the Sailor Scouts, have been kidnapped by Orochimaru and someone else?!

Naruto (angrily): That asshole! Who many lives that does that snake have to ruin before he is taken down for good?

Ninja Ryu: Tell us what happened, Miss Moon.

Sailor Moon: It started about one month ago when this Orochimaru and someone else attacked us. My family… momma… poppa… Sammy… were all murdered before my eyes…”

Mysterious Sailor Scout: I’m sorry, Sailor Moon, but Crystal Tokyo is dead. And this time, it is dead for good. You need to know the whole story and the mistakes that Pluto made that doomed that future.

Ryu: That horrible future that my dad and the original Signers fought to change was when you were ruler of the planet? And the Ener-D reactor and Machine Emperor invasion was caused by an enemy of the Sailor Scouts?

Sailor Moon: It was, but your parents and their friends, the original Signers, stopped that, but Pluto made a horrible mistake to ensure that future never happened while Crystal Tokyo happened.

Mysterious Sailor Scout: While that future is dead, there is still a way to bring it back or make it even better than before. The future is not set in stone, but you need those that weld a light just as strong as yours, Sailor Moon. Seek out the Signers, warriors of ancient protector the Planet Earth, the Crimson Dragon. There might be other ways, but this is the best way. However, I warn you, if you do, your destiny and the destinies of many others shall be changed forever Sailor Moon.
Tsunade: Okay, brat, I’ll make a bet with you. If you succeed, I’ll admit that I’m wrong and go back to the village with you, no strings attached! In face, if you win, I’ll give you my necklace!

Shizune (horrified): Lady Tsunade, you can’t do that! Not the necklace!

Ryu: A cursed necklace?

Davis: If I gave something precious of mine away to people that I care about and they died soon after, I would think that my item is cursed too.

Haku: You have the Crystal Beasts and Rainbow Dragon?

Naruto: The old lady will restore Orochimaru’s arms if he brings back her brother and boyfriend that died when she was young and then he’ll try to destroy the Leaf Village again?! No way! I don’t care if she is my godmother, I’ll take her down if I have to!

Orochimaru: What is your answer Tsunade?

Sailor Moon: Who are you?

Mysterious Enemy: I am the one that will end your hope and the hope of the Signers, Sailor Moon. Duel!

Naruto: Next time on ‘Naruto 5Ds’: A New Hokage, A New Hope Reborn

Mysterious Enemy: Impossible! She lives?!

Ryu: That’s the Dragon Heart’s Mark of Dragon! And wait… A SEVENTH Signer Dragon?!

And that ends this chapter, folks! Anyway, like I said before, I recently learned that Leo is indeed going to be a sixth Signer and he has gained the original Fifth Dragon, known as Life Stream Dragon. Well, I’ve just added that into my story and you can probably guess who the sixth Signer in this story is going to be! However, I’ve added my own new twist! If you want to find out what that twist is, just keep reading and find out everyone! Later and best wishes, Naruto, Dueling, and Crossover fans!
