Naruto 5Ds: Shinobi Signers

Chapter 30: Duel of Ninja Legends

Back within the Namikaze clan mansion, we find Naruto sitting down with rest of his fellow Signers, minus Hinata, Ninja Ryu, Ninja Ayane, Kasumi, Haku, Veemon, and his mom listening at what happened while Naruto was out while Kushina displays her newest possession: Loki, Lord of the Aesir (3300/3000) Synchro Monster card.

Naruto asks, surprised, “So, my mom has become the new owner of this Aesir monster?’

Kasumi says, with a nod, “That’s right, Naruto-sama.”

Ayane says, with a grin, “And it does make sense that she gets it. Loki is Norse deity of mischief AKA a prankster deity.”

Kushina says, with a smile, “I think that it fits me my boy.”

Ayane says, with a grin, “I think that we know why.”

Davis says, with a grin, “Like they say: Like mother, like child.”

Kushina thinks in her mind, drolly, “Don’t remind me, Davis-sama.”

Serena gets to her feet and she says, with a smile, “Anyway, I’m going to visit my friends in the hospital.”

Haku tells Serena, “Allow me to escort you, Lady Serena.”

Serena says, with a smile, “Thanks, Haku-san, but I’ll be just fine.” Serena then gets to her feet and heads off for the hospital to visit Rei and Lita.

After she is gone, Naruto asks the Fudo twins, “What about that Sayer baka?”

Ayane says, with a snort, “Snuck away in the chaos with those members that weren’t killed or captured.”

Naruto says, amazed, “I just can’t believe that they managed to kill one of the Akatsuki.”

Ryu says, with a plain tone, “They got lucky since the two that went after them underestimate the power of the abilities and the weapons from outside of the Elemental Countries, Naruto.”

Naruto asks, curiously, “So, where is that guy’s body?”

Haku replies, “They have his body in the morgue part of the hospital where it is being examined.”

Ayane asks, curiously, “Wouldn’t his former home village want his return?”

Kushina says, with a grin, “If they knew about it, my boy. It is a good thing that we managed to keep it quiet for now.”

Haku asks, curiously, “Won’t the Stone Village learn about this soon enough?”

Davis says, with a smile, “I’m not sure that they want to take on the child of their greatest enemy as well as his wife.”

Kushina says, with a nod, “They better not!”

Ayane says, with a plain tone, “What worries me is these ‘Biju cards’ that were developed by Industrial Illusions.”

Naruto says, stunned, “I can’t believe that they created cards based on the fox and his kind!”

Kyuubi says, with a sly tone, “And why not, brat?”

Ryu says, with a plain tone, “All we know is that these cards were developed by Pegasus on some kind of secret trip to the Elemental Countries and they were developed into Synchro Monster cards so he must have done it late in life probably after he created the first Synchro Monster cards.”

Haku says, with a plain tone, “Based on what the Hidden Waterfall Village knew, the cards became as dangerous as the real creature as the same yokai flows through the cards and since they are in synch with the spirits of the Biju that they are based on, you can probably guess the will of the Biju is infused with them. It is said that the Jinchuriki of the Biju that these cards are based off of are the best chance of controlling the cards, but…”

Ryu says, with a plain tone, “They are no sure thing, everyone.”

Naruto says, with a proud smile, “Oh, come on! I already gained control of that fox’s chakra, so, I can control its card!”

Ninja Ayane tells Naruto, “The fox yokai in that card contains the hatred and anger of the Biju. There is a risk that it could allow the Kyuubi a chance to regain control of the chakra that you took from it.”

Naruto asks, nervously, “Really?”

Kushina says, with a nod, “That’s a good possibility, Naruto. The card might be too dangerous even with your Signer abilities.”

Ninja Ryu tells Kushina, “And the same for you, Kushina. You still have some of the Kyuubi’s chakra in you, but unlike your son, some of the remnants of the fox’s will remain in that chakra.”

Kushina says, with a snort, “Tell me about it, Hayabusa-dono.”

Naruto asks, curiously, “Isn’t there anything that we can do?”

Kasumi tells Naruto, “Naruto-sama, this is your mother, the Red Storm, we are talking about. I’m sure that your mom has everything under control for now.”

Ayane thinks in her mind, “It is later that I’m worried about. Since Naruto is exactly like his mom, he must get his temper from her.”

Kushina says, nervously, “I do have it down for the moment, but I must admit that Naruto gets his temper from me through I wish that he didn’t.”

Naruto rubs his head nervously and he then asks, plainly, “But what about my new ‘house guest’?”

Haku tells Naruto, “As you well know, Naruto-sama, Fu-dono wasn’t treated right because of her ‘condition’ and she doesn’t have faith in humanity other than the Signers and hopefully, her fellow Jinchuriki. You can understand why she doesn’t like people.”

Naruto says, with a sigh, “Don’t I know it, Haku.”

Kushina tells Naruto, “She trust the Signers because she knows that warriors of the Crimson Dragon are warriors of justice and the Crimson Dragon wouldn’t chose anyone that’s like the people that mistreated her, but even that level of trust is limited. We’re hoping that someone that went life like her can help her open up and start to trust in others. Adding the fact that you are a Signer too could help her open up to the Signers more which would be a good start.”

Naruto tells Kushina, with a smile, “Don’t worry, mom. I’ll help the best way that I can. I helped Gaara and I’m sure that I can help her too.”

Veemon asks, curiously, “Since she is one of those people that these bad people, the Akatsuki, want, won’t they want to target the village more?”

Ninja Ayane tells Veemon, “The village already has a ‘bull’s eye’ on it since they want both of the Jinchuriki and the Crimson Dragon in which since Naruto is both contains the Kyuubi and is a Signer, it makes him a big target.”

Naruto asks Ninja Ryu, “But are you sure that they won’t make a move because they are waiting for the Three-Tails?”

Ninja Ryu says, with a nod, “That’s right, Naruto. As you know, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, the Fourth Mizukage, was recently killed, but his Biju didn’t die with him. However, the Three-Tails is going to need three years to complete ‘reform’ and regain its full strength. Since the Akatsuki want the Biju, they’ll need the Three-Tailed Biju.”

Ryu asks, plainly, “Why not captured the other Jinchuriki while waiting for the Three-Tails to reform?”

Ninja Ayane says, with a plain tone, “Hayabusa-sensei feels that they are capturing the Biju in order ranging from the weakest to the strongest. They will start with the One-Tails and work their way up to the Nine-Tails.”

Kasumi says, with a plain tone, “Which we have warned the Sand Village to watch out just in case.”

Davis asks, curiously, “Why would they do that?”

Kushina says, with a plain tone, “We are not going to give them a chance to find out, Davis-sama. With the death of one of their members, we believe that this will set them back. Hopefully, we can take advantage of this through we’re not sure that examining his body will do any good.”

Naruto says, with a serious tone, “At least this brought that Pervy Sage out of hiding and I can some training done.”

Ayane tells Naruto, drolly, “Don’t count on it, Naruto.”

Ryu says, with a plain tone, “Something tells me that whatever mission that he is on has to do with the Akatsuki.”

Naruto asks Ryu, “What makes you say that?”

Davis says, plainly, “Him returning to the village after learning we have the body of a dead Akatsuki member, Naruto.”

Naruto yells out, annoyed, “Well, why didn’t he tell me?”

Kushina tells Naruto, with a smile, “You would have insisted to come along, wouldn’t you?” Naruto rubs his head and replies with a nervous giggle showing that his mom was right.

Haku says, with a nod, “So that’s why that he made Naruto-sama assume it was something else. He didn’t want him to be at risk of getting captured on this mission to gather information on the Akatsuki.”

Kushina tells Haku, with a nod, “That’s right, Haku-san.”

Naruto asks Kushina, “You knew mom?”

Kushina replies, shaking her head, “No, but Pervy Sage’s mannerisms told me that it was a serious mission and not his smut research, my boy. Dealing with that major perv for all these years and you tend to know him… through I’m not sure it is a gift or a curse.” At around this time, we find Jiraiya with Tsunade and Shizune as they are with medical personal examining Deidara’s body in which Jiraiya sneezes for reasons that he doesn’t know.

Davis asks Naruto, with a grin, “By the way, what’s this about not coming to your village’s recently opened Duel Academy for the first ever ‘school duel’ today?”

Naruto replies, nervously, “Well, you see…”

Davis tells Naruto, “Don’t worry about it, bro. I was just teasing you! I guess that you want to go on a date with your cute girlfriend. And I don’t move in on another person’s girl, bro.”

Ayane gives a mental sigh and she asks, curiously, “Where is Hinata anyway?”

Naruto says, with a smile, “She went to visit her dad and cousin.”

Veemon asks, curiously, “After what they did to her?”

Naruto replies, with a grin, “I think that Neji learned his lesson. I don’t know, but I can feel that there is something different about him. In fact, his own uncle, Hinata’s dad, is training him despite what the rest of the Hyuga clan thinks.”

Kushina thinks in his mind, “That’s because Hiashi is a better person than the rest of his clan, but because of his position, he makes him look like just another asshole Hyuga. I think that what happened gave him enough guts to finally defy his clan elders in the open now.”

Ryu says, with a plain tone, “Anyway, we’ve got a mission to take care. We need to find Thor and this mysterious fourth Aesir card as well as train and prepare for the battles ahead.”

Ninja Ryu says, with a nod, “A good plan, Fudo-dono.”

Ninja Ayane says, “You have many enemies now including Lady Serena’s former foe who has escaped and others that wish to claim the Crimson Dragon’s power.”

Davis says, drolly, “No kidding. And knowing what I do, things are going to get worse before they get better.”

Ayane says, drolly, “That’s good to know, Davis.”

Kushina says, with a plain tone, “However, Davis-sama has a good point. We need to be ready for anything.” Plenty of the rest of the people in the room nod their heads in agreement through they didn’t know what was next.

(Inside of the former Uchiha district; that evening)

Deep within the former Uchiha district inside of Shinto style known Naka Shrine, we find dark clouds forming in the inside of the shrine and the shrine becomes mainly dark with a little light as a human-like figure forms in the darkness with a golden glow of the Millennium Ring appear around his neck.

The figure says, in a deep male voice, “At long last, the darkness of this place has allowed me to return after I have revived. I have been gone a long time and it has been many years since I fought little Yugi and the Pharaoh in modern times. However, I sense powerful forces that might be able to stop me. I must find these forces and destroy them in which no one shall stop me from getting the other Millennium Items which I know have reappeared in the world and covering this world in eternal darkness!” The figure gives such an evil laugh that can make anyone shiver in fear.

(The following morning; Joining up with Sayer)

With the leader of the two Arcadia Movements, we find him working inside of an abandoned warehouse somewhere in the Elemental Countries giving a sigh.

Sayer says, with a plain tone, “Well that was a disaster.”

One member says, with a plain tone, “We lost a lot of members there, sir.”

Sayer says, a bit annoyed, “I know, but I know that they won’t do anything too harmful to them. These Leaf Village people can’t do much to our people since we are from their world. Most likely, they will send them back to Neo Domino City to be imprisoned and our agents there will free them.”

Another member is examining the mysterious Synchro Monster card with the Seven-Tails picture on it and this member, a female, says, amazed, “Sayer-sama, this card contains incredible amounts of a strange energy.”

Sayer says, with a nod, “I know what it is, my dear. They call it chakra. And since it was created in the form of a powerful creature known as a Tailed Beast, a yokai or demon, it is said to resonant with the creature and brings out its chakra. I would have liked the ‘container’ of that ‘monster’ to figure out if indeed our own powers are linked to the power of chakra. However, this card will have to do and once we figure out to use this card, safely, we will be unstoppable.”

(Returning to the Leaf Village; Later that morning)

Inside of the Leaf Village, we find ourselves inside of the Torture and Interrogation Department building where we find two Neo Arcadia Movement members that are nervous in the form of their sweat flowing them like bullets from a machine gun as Ibiki and Anko look at them with Anko having a sadistic look on her face.

Anko asks, slyly, “Okay, boys and girls, ready to go again?” Nearby, we find Kin and Tayuya, who were pulled into ‘assisting’ Anko through she doesn’t need any assistance.

Tayuya whispers to Kin, “Geez, Kin, this woman is nuts.”

Kin tells Tayuya, in a whisper, “She was given the raw deal by Orochimaru and she was made the butt of the village because of that.”

Tayuya says, in a whisper with a nod, “Yeah, the snake would make anyone go nuts.”

Anko yells out to the two former Sound ninja, “Okay, girls!” When the two females look at Anko, she says, with a sinister smile, “I need you to get my ‘toys’.”

Kin and Tayuya pale and Tayuya yells out, shocked, “You’ve got to be joking! You already fucked up their minds without them!”

Ibiki tells Tayuya, “She already knows that, girl. Better go do what she says.” Kin and Tayuya head off to do what Anko says either feeling sorry for those Neo Arcadia Movements members or glad that they aren’t them.

(At the Namikaze mansion; around the same time)

On the grounds of the Namikaze mansion, we find Naruto and Hinata resting under the shade of a tree in the grounds of the Namikaze clan compound taking time to relax through Naruto wants to keep training, but he decides that spending some time with Hinata was good especially when he found out that woman on the lake was Hinata performing her training to perfect her own version of the Gentle Fist Taijutsu of her clan in which not to mention that he saw her without a shred of clothing on her through he didn’t know that since it was dark. Let’s just say that Hinata wasn’t the only one that fainted from that fact.

Hinata thinks in her mind, with a blush on her cheeks, “I can’t believe that Naruto-kun and I are alone like this!”

Naruto tells Hinata, a bit nervously, “Hinata-chan, I… I’m sorry about what happened… about… you know?”

Hinata’s whole face becomes red and she says, shyly, “It wasn’t… your fault… you needed to go… and you c-couldn’t help to b-be curious…” Hinata asks, while still blushing as she is, “Naruto-kun… did you think that I was… beautiful…?”

Naruto replies, nervously, “Yeah, you are… but don’t think…”

Hinata replies, shaking her head, “No, Naruto-kun! I don’t think that you are… you know? It is… you see… my father says… that I’ve ‘matured’ faster than other girls of my age.”

Naruto asks Hinata, “Matured faster, Hinata-chan?  What do you mean by that?”

Hinata replies, still having deep blush on her facial features, “Well, Naruto-kun…” But before she can say anything more, they sense someone and they look to see Fu escorted by Haku coming towards them.

Naruto tells Haku, “Hey, Haku!”

Haku says, with a smile, “Naruto-sama, this is Fu-dono of the Hidden Waterfall Village.”

Fu looks at Naruto and she thinks, “So, this is the container of the Nine-Tails? It doesn’t look like that he went through I did, but yet…”

Naruto tells Fu, with a smile, “It is nice to meet you, Fu-dono!”

Fu says, with a nod, “It is an honor to meet you, Namikaze-sama. The legend of your father and mother is well-known throughout the Elemental Countries.”

Naruto says, with a foxy smile, “Yeah, I know. It has caused me quite a few problems.”

Fu says, with a plain tone, “I had heard that you and another had the Crimson Dragon’s ‘Mark of the Dragon’ on you.”

Naruto says, with a nod, “Yep!” Naruto then displays his ‘Mark of the Dragon’ and Hinata does the same causing Fu’s eyes to widen.

Fu says, with a plain tone, “So, you are the last of the Signers that I heard about.”

Hinata says, with a nod, “We are, Fu-dono. It is nice to meet you.”

Fu raises a suspicious eyebrow and Naruto asks, seeing that, “Is there something wrong, Fu-dono?”

Fu asks Naruto, plainly, “Is it true? Are you the same as me?”

Haku and Hinata give nervous looks and Naruto says, with a sigh, “Yeah, I am. My dad sealed the Nine-Tailed Fox in me on the day that I was born because some asshole released it from my mom since he took advantage that female Jinchuriki’s seals weaken in childbirth.”

Fu thinks in her mind, “A female Jinchuriki’s seal weakens in childbirth?”

Naruto says, with a plain tone, “This asshole has a powerful dojutsu that allows him to control even the Nine-Tailed Fox and this asshole’s name is Madara Uchiha. My dad knew that he would be a danger to the world, so, he negated his control over the fox and sealed half of his chakra, the yang half, in me. He wanted me to take on Madara Uchiha and stop him before whatever mad plans that he has comes to fruition.”

Fu asks, curiously, “That’s why your dad sealed the Kyuubi in you?”

Naruto says, with a nod, “That’s right and I think that’s added to the reason that why my dad wanted me to be treated like hero, but…” Naruto says, with a plain tone, “They didn’t honor his wish and used me as their scapegoat in which they spat on his memory while yelling out that they are honoring it.”

Hinata thinks in her mind, solemnly, “Naruto-kun…”

Fu thinks in her mind, with her eyes widening, “He is like him! I can tell in his eyes… he holds much of the same pain that I do…” Fu asks Naruto, “Why, Naruto-sama? Why don’t you hate and loath them?”

Naruto replies, plainly, “I did… once. However, there are a few people that showed me light and kindness and showed me out of the dark. And when I became a Signer and gained a new family of sorts, I left the dark and never turned back.” Naruto says, smiling while looking at Hinata, “And there is Hinata-chan…”

Fu asks Hinata, “You care about him even knowing what he is?”

Hinata replies, “Naruto-kun is Naruto-kun to me, fox or no fox. Naruto-kun was my inspiration and my strength to become a stronger person and a stronger ninja. I’ve loved him for so long. To me, Naruto-kun is Naruto-kun and the Kyuubi is the Kyuubi.”

Fu gives a look of amazement in her eyes and she says, with a sigh, “I see. Naruto-sama… I wish that I people like your friends and your ‘family’ when I was growing up.” Naruto and Hinata give looks of surprise as Fu turns around and walks away in which she thinks, “Namikaze-sama, you were lucky. You suffered like people like us do, but you were lucky to become a Signer. You gained something that I wished that I had: People’s respect and the love of a ‘family’ and friends. I can’t help to be jealous of you, but I can’t help to feel something…” Fu puts her left hand over her heart and she can’t help to get a ‘warm feeling’ which is something that she never felt in quite a long time.

Just then a female voice calls out, “Hey, Naruto!” Naruto, Hinata, and Haku look to see Sakura running up to them.

Naruto asks Sakura, “What’s up, Sakura?”

Sakura says, with a plain tone, “Something is up at our new Duel Academy. Someone else from the outside world just arrived and this guy is a family friend of Ryu-sama and his sister.”

Naruto’s, Hinata’s, and Haku’s eyes widen and Haku asks, surprised, “Really, Sakura?”

Sakura says, with a nod, “Oh, yeah. Lady Ayane and her brother recognized him immediately.”

Naruto asks Hinata, “Want to meet him, Hinata-chan?”

Hinata says, with a nod, “I’m curious too, Naruto-kun.” Soon enough, Naruto and Hinata get to their feet and Haku, Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura head off to Duel Academy to meet with the Fudo twins’ ‘family friend’ that has come to the Hidden Leaf Village.

(A short time soon after; at the Leaf Village’s Duel Academy)

On the grounds of the Leaf Village’s new Duel Academy, we find the Fudo twins, Ninja Ryu, Ninja Ayane, and Momiji in front of none other than Greiger who has his recently rebuilt Beast Duel Runner by the side with Sarutobi, Tsunade, and Shizune watching on the side.

Ryu tells Greiger, “It is good to see you, Greiger-san.”

Greiger says, with a nod, “It is good to see you and your sister, Ryu. I was horrified to learn of Yusei’s and your family’s deaths and I feared the worst.”

Ayane says, with a nod, “We lost our family and they killed our parents to try to make whatever plans easier for them since the new Signers were to be ‘weaker’ than our family.”

Greiger says, with a nod, “It sounds like something like Yliaster my friends.”

Ninja Ayane says, with a plain tone, “It is a theory that we are working on Greiger-san.”

Ninja Ryu asks Momiji, “What’s the news on the village?”

Momiji replies, “We have gotten all of your news including the newest Signers, Ryu-sensei. About what Luna-san said about Lady Serena, we have knowledge about her former kingdom and she may be indeed those that were spoken about by your father, Ryu-sensei.”

Ninja Ryu says, eyes narrowing, “I see. We’ll need to discuss this with her, Lady Hokage, and Sarutobi-dono.”

Just then a familiar male voice calls out, “Hey, you guys!” Everyone looks to see Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, and Haku running towards them.

Ayane says, with a smile, “Hi, Naruto!”

Hinata asks, looking at Greiger, “Who is this?”

Ryu says, with a plain tone, “This is Greiger, he lives in the area of Nazca Lines, and he is a friend of our dad.”

Hinata says, with a bow, “Nice to meet you, Greiger-san.”

Greiger asks, curiously, “And you are?”

Ayane says, pointing to Naruto and Hinata, “These are Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and Hinata Hyuga, they are the successors to Uncle Jack and Aunt Luna, Greiger.”

Greiger asks, surprised, “They have the Crimson Dragon’s wings and back claw?”

Naruto says, with a grin, “That’s right!”

Ryu tells the newcomers, “Greiger’s people are actually descendants of people that lived with the People of the Stars.”

Hinata says, amazed, “Incredible!”

Greiger asks them, “If you don’t, may I see your ‘Marks of the Dragon’?”

Naruto says, plainly, “Okay, if you say so.” Naruto and Hinata reveal their ‘Mark of the Dragons’ and Greiger’s eyes widen.

Greiger thinks in his mind, “So, the ‘Marks of the Dragon’ have been passed down to new Signers after all.” Greiger asks Naruto, “Naruto-san, was it? Did you face against a creature known as Red-Nova?”

Naruto says, with a sigh, “Don’t remind me. That overgrown freak was trying to get back the power that was sealed in Red Dragon Archfiend in order to go on another rampage, but before he could try anything, I sealed him away good with my Burning Force power!”

Greiger thinks in his mind, wide-eyed, “He not only inherited Jack’s Mark of the Dragon, but his Burning Force power as well?”

Hinata asks Greiger, “So, you are a friend of Ryu’s and Ayane’s parents, Greiger-san?”

Greiger says, with a smile, “In a manner of speaking, young one. If it is no trouble, I would like to make a request.”

Hinata asks, curiously, “What is that?”

Greiger tells Hinata, “I would like to duel the new Signer of Ancient Fairy Dragon in a friendly duel.”

Hinata asks, curiously, “Why me?”

Ryu says, with a smile, “I think that I know, Hinata.” Ryu and Ayane then relate the story of Greiger dueled Leo instead of Hinata’s predecessor of Ancient Fairy Dragon in the Fortune Cup.

Ayane asks Greiger, “So, you want to duel her to find out somewhat what it would have been like to duel the real Aunt Luna right Greiger?”

Greiger says, with a nod, “Yes, Ayane. I never did get the chance to duel her.”

Naruto asks Hinata, “What do you think Hinata-chan?”

Hinata tells Greiger, “It would be my honor to duel you, Greiger-san.”

Greiger says, with a smile, “The honor is all mine, young Signer.” Soon enough, Hinata and Greiger have their duel disks attached to their wrists with their dueling deck inserted into their duel disks.

Ayane calls out to Hinata, “Hold on, Hinata!” Ayane throws Hinata a card, Hinata’s eyes widen when she sees it, and Ayane tells her, with a wink, “Use it, Hinata! You are going to need it against Greiger’s deck! And girls got to look out for each other, right?”

Hinata says, with a nod, “Yeah, Ayane.” Hinata puts the card into her Extra Deck, the two of them activate their duel disks, and after their decks are shuffled by their duel disk, they draw five cards from their decks while their duel disks register 4000 life-points each.

“Duel!” Hinata and Greiger yell out in unison as their duel begins.

Starting Score:
Hinata: 4000
Greiger: 4000

Greiger tells Hinata, “It is always ladies first, my dear.”

Hinata says, nodding her head, “Okay, I draw.” After she draws one card, Hinata says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Take Over Five spell card! By discarding the top five cards in my deck, my deck is not effected by cards that send cards from my deck to the graveyard anymore and as long as this spell card remains in my graveyard, I get one card during my Standby Phase.” Hinata discards the top five cards in her deck and she says, “And now, I remove my Sunlight Unicorn and Sunny Pixie from the graveyard from play to bring out my Soul of Purity and Light in attack mode!” The two said monster cards are removed from Hinata’s graveyard, she puts one card on her duel disk, and Soul of Purity and Light (2000/1800) appears on the field in attack mode. Hinata says, putting one card on her duel disk, “Next, I play Spore in attack mode!” Just then Spore (400/800) appears on the field in attack mode and Hinata says, “I tune my Spore with my Purity and Light!” Spore turns into one star that turns into one ring that surrounds Purity and Light making it becomes transparent before a column of light appears on the field.

Greiger thinks in his mind, plainly, “Here it comes.”

Hinata takes a Synchro Monster card from her Extra Deck and chants out, “The holy light of protection, shine now and become eternal life! Synchro Summon!” When Hinata puts the said Synchro Monster card on her duel disk, “I bring out my Ancient Fairy Dragon!” Ancient Fairy Dragon (2100/3000) appears on the field in defense mode. Hinata says, putting one card on her duel disk, “Next, I use her ability to play one level four monster from my hand and I choose my Armored White Bear!” Soon after, Armored White Bear (1800/1400) appears on the field in attack mode. Hinata says, removing one Glow-Up Bulb (100/100) monster card from her graveyard, “Now, I remove my Glow-Up Bulb to replay Spore in attack mode!” Soon after, Spore (400/800) returns to the field in attack mode. Hinata says, “And now, my Spore gains the extra level from Glow-Up Bulb due to its ability! Now, I activate my Dark Verger’s ability from the graveyard! Since I’ve got a Plant Type tuner monster, I can revive it in attack mode!” Soon after, Dark Verger (0/1000) appears on the field in attack mode. Hinata says, “And now, I tune my level two Spore with my level four White Bear and level two Dark Verger!” Spore turns into two stars that turn into two rings that surround White Bear and Dark Verger making them transparent before a column of light appears on the field. Hinata takes a Synchro Monster card from the Extra Deck and she chants out, “Clustering hopes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon!” Hinata puts the Synchro Monster card on her duel disk and she yells out, “As Ayane and her brother says: ‘Let’s rev it up, Stardust Dragon!” Out of the column of light, Stardust Dragon (2500/2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

Greiger asks, surprised, “Stardust Dragon?”

Ryu tells Ayane, “That’s the card that you gave her.”

Ayane says, with a grin, “It is best defense against Greiger’s deck and we girls have got to stick together.”

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

Greiger thinks in his mind, with a grin, “That’s not bad. Stardust Dragon’s ability makes my Flying Fortress Sky Fire’s ability useless.” Greiger says, drawing a card, “It’s my draw, young one.” Greiger says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Star Blast spell card! By lowering my life-points by five hundred, I can return one monster’s level by one level until the end of the turn!” Greiger’s life-points lower by 500 points, Greiger puts one card on his duel disk, and he yells out, “And I choose my Summon Reactor-SK which I can summon to the field now!” Summon Reactor-SK (2000/1400) then appears on the field in attack mode and Greiger puts one card into the spell/trap slots in which he says, “Then I play my Foolish Burial which allows me to put one card into my graveyard!” A card comes out of Greiger’s deck and he puts it into his graveyard slot in which he says, putting another card into the spell/trap slots, “Then I play my Monster Reborn to revive the monster that I just sent: My Trap Reactor Y-FI!” Soon after, Trap Reactor Y-FI (800/1800) returns to the field in attack mode. Greiger says, putting another card into the spell/trap slots, “Then I play my Double Summon and now, I can Normal Summon again this turn! And I play my Spell Reactor RE in attack mode!” Just then Spell Reactor-RE (1200/900) appears on the field in attack mode. Greiger yells out, as a card comes out of his deck, “And now, I play my Summon Reactor’s ability and send it along with Spell Reactor and Trap Reactor in order to play Flying Fortress SKY FIRE in attack mode!” The three said monsters vanish as Flying Fortress SKY FIRE (3000/2500) appears on the field in attack mode.

Naruto calls out, stunned, “Whoa! What a monster!”

Greiger exclaims, “SKY FIRE, attack her Stardust Dragon now!”

As SKY FIRE unleashes a barrage at Stardust Dragon, Hinata says, pushing a button on her duel disk, “I activate my Waboku trap card!” Hinata’s face-down card is revealed to be the Waboku trap card and Hinata says, with a plain tone, “This trap card protects my monster and negates all battle damage for this turn.” Three maidens appear to protect Stardust Dragon from SKY FIRE’s attack and negate it in which Hinata does get any battle damage.

Greiger says, plainly, “I end my turn.”

Current Score:
Hinata: 4000
Greiger: 3500

Hinata says, drawing a card, “It’s my turn!” Hinata says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I play Pot of Greed and draw two more cards!” Hinata says, putting two cards into the spell/trap slots, “And I place two cards face-down and switch Stardust Dragon from attack to defense mode which will end my turn.” Stardust Dragon switches from attack to defense mode as holograms of two more face-down cards appear on the field.

Sakura asks, curiously, “That’s weird! Why didn’t he use his monster’s ability? When Hinata puts any cards face-down, SKY FIRE can destroy one of them and costing Hinata eight hundred life-points. Why didn’t he use that ability?”

Naruto gives a moment for thought and he yells out, “Oh, yeah! Stardust Dragon’s ability! He uses his own monster’s ability and Stardust Dragon will take it out.”

Haku says, with a nod, “True, but if he can take out Stardust Dragon then Hinata’s cards will be helpless against it, Naruto-sama.”

Greiger says, drawing a card, “It’s my turn now, young lady.” Greiger says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “And I use Aurora Draw! Since I have no other cards in my hand, I can use this card to draw two more!” Greiger draws two more cards, his eyes widen, and he thinks in his mind, “This is perfect! Just what I need to make my strategy complete!”

Ayane says, plainly, “I don’t like that look in his eye.”

Ryu says, plainly, “He must have drawn what he needed from his deck.”

Greiger says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I play my Black Salvo in attack mode!” Soon after, Black Salvo (100/1100) appears on the field in attack mode and Greiger says, with a plain tone, “And now, my Salvo can bring back one level four Dark monster from my grave and I bring back my Trap Reactor!” Trap Reactor Y-FI (800/1800) appears on the field in defense mode and Greiger yells out, “And now, I tune my Salvo with my Trap Reactor in order to Synchro Summon my Dark Strike Fighter!” Black Salvo turns into three stars that surround Trap Reactor, making it become transparent, and when Greiger put a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck on his duel disk, a column of light appears and out of that light, Dark Strike Fighter (2600/1800) appears on the field in attack mode.

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

Greiger says, putting the last card in his hand into the spell/trap slots, “And now, I play my Junk Dealer spell card! And now, I revive two monsters from my graveyard with half of their attack points! And I choose Summon Reactor and Black Salvo!” Just then Summon Reactor SK (2000/1400-1000/1400) and Black Salvo (100/1100-50/1100) appear on the field in attack mode and Greiger calls out, “And now, I tune my Salvo with my Summon Reactor to Synchro Summon my Dark Flat Top!” Black Salvo turns into three stars that turn into three rings that surround Summon Reactor making it become transparent. When a column of light appears on the field, Greiger puts a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck and out of that light, Dark Flat Top (0/3000) appears on the field in defense mode. Greiger calls out, “And now, I use my Dark Strike Fighter and release SKY FIRE in order to inflect damage to you equal two hundred life-points times its level!”

Sakura says, shocked, “That’s two thousand life-points!” SKY FIRE vanishes from the field in which Hinata yelps as she is assault causing her to lose 2000 life-points.

Hinata says, pushing a button on her duel disk, “I activate my Doppelganger trap card!” One of Hinata’s face-down is revealed to be the Doppelganger continuous trap card and Hinata says, “When I take effect damage from your cards, you lose the same amount in life-points, Greiger-san.” Greiger yelps from a blast of light from Hinata’s trap card causing him to lose 2000 life-points.

Ayane yells out, excitedly, “Way to go, Hinata!”

Ryu says, with a nod, “And as long as that trap card remains on the field, he can’t use Dark Strike Fighter’s ability unless he wants to defeat himself too.”

Greiger says, with a plain tone, “And now, I use my Flat Top’s ability and revive SKY FIRE, young Signer!” Soon after, an orb of energy appears on Dark Flat Top in which Flying Fortress SKY FIRE (3000/2500) reappears on the field in attack mode.

Naruto says, drolly, “Oh, great. Here we go again.”

Greiger shouts out, strongly, “SKY FIRE, take out her Stardust Dragon!” SKY FIRE unleashes a barrage of missiles right at Stardust Dragon.

Hinata says, pushing a button on her duel disk, “I activate my Fairy Breath trap card!” Hinata’s next face-down is revealed to be the Fairy Breath counter-trap card and Hinata says, with a plain tone, “Due to my Ancient Fairy Dragon being here, Stardust Dragon’s defense points go up by three thousand!”

Greiger says, shocked, “Oh no, but that’s…!” Stardust Dragon goes from 2500/2000 to 2500/5000 in which Stardust Dragon uses its wings to blow back the missile that slam into Greiger causing him to yelp as he loses 2000 more life-points, ending the duel.

Final Score:
Hinata: 2000
Greiger: 0

With the end of the duel, the final holograms fade away and Greiger gives a smile towards Hinata in which the Fudo twins and Naruto go over to her.

Naruto yells out, excitedly, “That was great, Hinata-chan!”

Greiger tells Hinata, “Indeed, it was a great duel. You have shown to worth of the Crimson Dragon’s mark and worthy to be called a protector of this planet and all life in it.”

Hinata says, with a bow, “I’m honored by your words, Greiger-san. However, Naruto-kun and the others help me become stronger and stronger every day.”

Greiger says, with a nod, “As it should be, young Signer. The greatest strength of the Signers is the bonds that they have with each other and Yusei and the original Signers proved that in their battles long ago. You need to build up that bond and make it strong so you can get it through the times ahead.”

Ryu tells Greiger, with a nod, “We will, Greiger.”

Just then Naruto senses a powerful evil aura and everyone hears clapping in which a voice says, “Indeed she will.” Everyone whips around to the source of the voice to see none other than Madara Uchiha in front of them.

Sakura yells out, seriously, “Who are you?”

Ayane says, seriously, “He is wearing the same cloak as Itachi and Kisame were!”

Tsunade asks, seriously, “Who are you? And what are you doing here?”

Madara tells Tsunade, “Lady Tsunade, lovely as ever I see. We haven’t met personally, but I know your history quite well. The last of the mighty Senju through you don’t have your grandfather’s Wood Style abilities.”

Within Naruto, the Kyuubi yells out, in pure rage, “That fucking asshole! How dare he show his masked face to me again?!”

Naruto asks, perplexed, “You know this freak fox?”

Just then a female voice booms out, angrily, “MADARA!” Everyone looks to the source to see Naruto’s mom, Kushina, with a cloak of the Kyuubi’s chakra surrounding her.

Madara tells Kushina, plainly, “Kushina, I see that the rumors are true and you have been revived by your own child.”

Kushina yells out, her voice filled with venom and demonic-like in tone, “Madara Uchiha, you son of a bitch! You dare show your face in the Leaf Village again!”

There are plenty of gasps and Sarutobi asks, stunned, “This is Madara Uchiha?”

Madara says, with a bow, “It is a best that I don’t make any kind of show and just ‘in the flesh’.”

Tsunade asks, seriously, “What do you want here?”

Madara says, pointing to Naruto, “Why do you think that I’m here? I want the boy, but not to capture him for the fox. You see, he made a stupid mistake. He became too powerful for his own good and I must kill him now.”

Kushina yells out, angrily, “Not while I breathe, you freak!” Kushina then charges in and lashes out with her cloak, but she passes right through Madara and rolls on the ground before regaining her balance.

Madara says, turning his head to Kushina, “Foolish, Kushina, but then again, you weren’t around when your beloved husband fought me and know what I am capable of.”

Naruto’s voice booms, “Oh, yeah! How about this?” Madara then turns to see Naruto attacking him with a kunai, but he passes through Madara too.

Tsunade yells out, stunned, “What the? Naruto and Kushina went through him!” When Naruto has gone through Madara, Madara swings around, grabs Naruto by the back of his collar, and throws him into a tree, knocking the tree down.

Hinata and Ayane yell out in unison, “Naruto/Naruto-kun!”

Madara tells Naruto, “Wasted effort, boy. You don’t know what I am able to do.” But then the ‘Naruto’ that Madara threw vanishes in a poof of smoke and he asks, surprised, “Shadow Clone?”

The real Naruto’s voice booms, “That’s right! Time to take care of business!”

“Rasengan!”

The real Naruto charges in with his sphere of chakra, but like the last time, he passes through Madara and his attack slams into the ground creating a strong explosion and small crater when the explosion dies down.

Naruto calls out, shocked, “What the heck is going on here? My mom and I went through him… like he was some kind of ghost!”

Madara tells Naruto, “As I told you mom, you have no idea of my abilities.”

Ninja Ryu calls out, “But I do, Madara.” When Madara looks towards Ninja Ryu, he says, with a plain tone, “I believe you should remember my father who fought you to a standstill and knows your secrets well. I am Ryu Hayabusa, son of Joe Hayabusa.”

Madara asks, in a rare shocked tone, “Hayabusa?”

Ninja Ryu tells Naruto, “Naruto-sama, my father fought against Madara some years ago when Madara quested for the Dark Dragon Blade which he fought would aid him in his plans for the Biju. My father fought Madara to a standstill and learned his secrets. As you know he has the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, the most powerful form of that dojutsu, which is maybe the only thing that keeps him alive beyond how long he should live, but there is more. He has his own space/time ninjutsu that rivals your father’s legendary jutsu, the Hiraishin, but it doesn’t need formula seals to use. It also allows him to make himself slightly out of phase of our space/time making Madara like a ghost.”

Sarutobi says, with a serious tone, “That’s why Kushina’s and Naruto’s attacks went through him! Being slightly out of phase of our reality allows attacks to be useless against him.”

Naruto yells out, “How do I fight against that?”

Ninja Ryu says, with a sly tone, “There are two weaknesses to his space/time jutsu. One, he has release his intangible to grab, hit, or hurt you in anyway.”

Naruto asks, surprised, “So, when he grabbed my clone…?”

Madara thinks in his mind, angrily, “Curse you, Hayabusa! You and your child!”

Ninja Ryu says, with a sly tone, “And two, he can only maintain his intangibility constantly for only five minutes.”

Naruto’s feature twist into a smirk and he says, with a grin, “So, the mighty Uchiha has a weakness after all? Now, I’ve got you.”

Madara tells Naruto, with a confident tone, “You might know my jutsu’s weakness, but what does that leave you?”

Naruto activates his Rinnegan eyes and he yells out, putting his hands into a familiar cross sign, “That means, asshole, if I don’t give you a break, you’ll have to keep up that jutsu and when five minutes are up, game over! And if you become solid for a moment, I have you asshole! Time to finish what my dad started once and for all, Madara!”

“Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!”

Naruto then creates around five hundred Shadow Clones in which they take up kunai knives into their hands while the real Naruto takes the Dragon Sword into his hand.

Madara thinks in his mind, seriously, “So, the boy has the Dragon Sword, huh? I may have to get serious with him after all.”

Naruto yells out, strongly, “Let’s go!” Naruto and his Shadow Clones charge as they prepare to face the infamous ninja that used the Nine-Tailed Fox to attack the village and forced his dad to give his life to seal the fox within his own child.

(Within the former Uchiha district; on the meanwhile)

Deep in the former Uchiha district, which was now owned by the Namikaze and Uzumaki clans by the order of Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, as part of Sasuke Uchiha’s punishment for the abandonment of the Leaf Village, we find Jaden Yuki and Alexis Rhodes walking down the empty streets and stores of the former Uchiha district.

Alexis says, with a plain tone, “This is the place where that horrible massacre happened, huh? It is really creepy.”

Jaden says, with a nod, “Same here, Lex, but we’ve seen creepier which includes Camula’s home.”

Alexis says, with a nod, “You have a point, Jaden-kun.”

Jaden asks, mentally, “Yubel, are you sure that ‘dark aura’ you sensed is here?”

Yubel replies, “I do, Jaden-kun. And that ‘stink’ is flowing through the streets and grown stronger by the dark energy that stinks of this whole area.”

Alexis asks Jaden, “Did Yubel say where this ‘dark aura’ is?”

Just then an evil laugh is heard and a sinister male voice calls out, “I believe that I can answer that for you my dear!” Everyone looks to see the form of Yami Bakura with the Millennium Ring around his neck walk up to them.

Jaden says, seriously, “That’s the Millennium Ring!”

Yami Bakura says, with a sinister smile, “Very good, boy! I can two more items in this pathetic excuse of a village!”

Jaden says, with a plain tone, “You aren’t getting it… Zorc!”

Yami Bakura’s eyes widen and Alexis tells Jaden, “I thought that you didn’t pay attention in Duel Monster’s history class.”

Jaden says, with a grin, “I really don’t, but it is one of the things that I do know.”

Yami Bakura says, with a sinister smirk, “So, you know of me? It won’t help you survive boy!”

Jaden tells Yami Bakura/Zorc, with a smirk, “You and what army, pal?”

Yami Bakura says, with a wide grin, “This army, boy!” Soon after, Diabound appears behind him.

Jaden says, a bit nervously, “Okay, that army.”

Yami Bakura calls out, “Diabound, attack with Spiral Wave!” Diabound flies up and unleashes a spiral vortex at Jaden and Alexis in which Jaden activates his duel disk attached to his left wrist which a Neo Domino City Duel Disk in Slifer Red colors and puts his Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) and Yubel (0/0) monster cards on it.

Jaden calls out, “Yubel! Neos! Time to help out!” After the two said monsters appear in which Yubel uses her ability to negate Diabound’s attack and uses the power to attack Diabound itself causing Yami Bakura to yelp out in pain.

Neos says, seriously, “Good work, Yubel. It’s my turn now!” Neos then moves in and attacks Diabound with its Cosmic Crush attack knocking it down to the ground causing Yami Bakura to growl in pain even more.

Jaden tells Yami Bakura, “Sorry, Zorc, but you aren’t the only one that can use real monsters!”

Yami Bakura says, with a smirk, “I can see that now and I can also sense the power of the shadows flowing through you, but it is a different dark energy.” Yami Bakura asks, curiously, “What is your name boy?”

Jaden says, with a grin, “I’m Jaden Yuki, the successor of Yugi Moto as the second King of Games!”

Yami Bakura asks, stunned, “What?”

Jaden says, with a smirk, “That’s right, Zorc.”

Yami Bakura asks, with a sinister smile, “Interesting, but based on how much time has passed, little Yugi must be long since dead. You should be a lot older or is there more to this than meets the eye?”

Jaden tells Yami Bakura, “Want to find out?”

Yami Bakura’s left arm gains an old fashion Battle City Duel Disk, a dueling deck appears inside, and he says, “I would very much would and there is only one way to take care of you, boy. Prepare for a Shadow Game!”

Jaden tells Yami Bakura, with a grin, “Don’t think that you are going to psyche me out, Zorc! I’ve seen plenty of my share of Shadow Games!”

Yami Bakura retorts, “Really, boy? Let’s see about that!” Yami Bakura’s Millennium Ring glows and the area around them is surrounded in a dome of dark violet and black shadows.

Alexis thinks in her mind, “I really hope that Jaden-kun knows what he is doing.” Both Jaden and Yami Bakura prepare for a deadly Shadow Duel in which both of them don’t know of the big battle happening at Leaf Village’s recently opened Duel Academy.

(Sometime soon after; back at Leaf’s Duel Academy grounds)

Returning to the grounds of Leaf’s Duel Academy, it has become a mini-war zone as Naruto and Madara continue the battle which some watching is a continuing of the battle between his dad and Madara himself on the day of his birth many years ago. Madara’s space/time jutsu continues to protect him, but Naruto continues to attack forcing Madara to keep up his defenses. However, even through Madara is on the defensive, his vast experiences shows as makes an excellent defense not giving Naruto time to make a strike when he makes himself solid to attack a Shadow Clone or two in which he disguises as allowing Naruto’s and his Shadow Clone’s attacks hit each other making Naruto unable to tell when Madara has lowered his jutsu to make himself solid thus allowing him to attack.

Madara tells Naruto, “You do have some of your blasted father in you, boy. However, you are more of instinctual level than your dad. Too much of your mom I believe.”

Naruto says, with a sneer, “You’ll see that too much of my mom is too much for you.”

Madara tells Naruto, “Really, boy? I believe not.” At this point, ANBU have assembled in, but all they can do is keep everyone else safe since Ninja Ryu and Ninja Ayane advised not to interfere in which Tsunade and Kushina greatly protested. However, Madara finally made a mistake of striking another group of Shadow Clones after some kunai passed through him, but Naruto noticed Madara’s attack and knew that he was solid.

“Shinra Tensei!”

Before Madara can go intangible again, he was hit with a powerful gravity force that sent him flying high into the air.

Madara thinks in his mind, “Damn it all! I let my guard down! He managed to see the moment!” Hundreds of shuriken and kunai fly after him, but Naruto sending Madara into the air gave him time to use his space/time jutsu and the shuriken and knives just pass through him.

Naruto thinks in his mind, “Crap! He managed to get his jutsu back on!”

Madara swings around in mid air and yells out, while doing familiar hand signs, “Well done, Namikaze. You have shown to be a good annoyance, but this farce comes to an end now.”

“Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!”

Madara then unleashes a powerful fireball that looks like a massive meteor that heads straight for Naruto and his Shadow Clones!

Naruto calls out, “No way! Not even Sasuke did that!”

Madara tells Naruto, “Who do you think I am boy?”

One of the ANBU calls out, “Everyone down now!” The ANBU immediately tackle down in which one of them grab Kushina before she can try to rush over to Naruto as the massive fireball slams into him and his Shadow Clones dispelling them in the massive explosion of flames!

After the explosion dies down, there is a large crater near the Duel Academy with a column of smoke heading into the air and Tsunade and Kushina call out, horrified, “Naruto!”

After Madara lands safely and gracefully on the ground, he says, “I haven’t done my clan’s jutsu in a long time, but I’m not surprised that I haven’t lost my touch.”

Naruto’s voice booms, “Nice try, jerk!” Out of the smoke, Naruto charges in with the Dragon Sword and he passes through him in which when he does, Madara whips around and grabs him by the neck.

Madara tells him, “I’m impressed that you have survived my assault boy. However, you were stupid to charge right in knowing that my jutsu was still active.”

Naruto replies, with a foxy smile, “It isn’t now.” When ‘Naruto’ vanishes in a puff of smoke causing the Dragon Sword to fall to the ground, Madara gives a rare gasp of shock in which before he can gasp, Naruto, Kyuubi chakra cloak surround him, bursts out of the ground and lands a solid punch to his mask with a kick to his gut sending him flying into the crater that he made for the attack. Just then Sailor Moon lands by his right side and Naruto tells her, “Thanks a lot, Serena. Your teleportation really saved my bacon.”

Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “No problem, Naruto.”

After Naruto deactivates his chakra cloak, Madara’s voice booms, “Ah, yes. The young princess with the crystal.” Everyone looks to the source of the voice to see Madara coming out, but the right side of his mask has crack apart to his short spiky black hair with blue tint and Sharingan right eye. Madara says, with a plain tone, “In my life, I have heard legends of great humanoid civilizations in the heavens and other celestial bodies, but I didn’t put too much thought into them until your recent appearance of course.”

Sailor Moon asks, curiously, “Who is this guy?”

Naruto says, stepping in front of his female fellow Signer, “This baka is Madara Uchiha, who was around before the founding my village, and he is something like in his hundreds or something in which his life is prolonged due to his Sharingan having reached its final form which allows him to control ‘monsters’ like the fox and that one within raccoon within Gaara.”

Sailor Moon asks, amazed, “You’re kidding right?”

Naruto says, shaking his head, “No way, Serena. Believe it. And he was the one that attacked my mom and dad to get his hands on the fox who was inside of my mom at the time and attack my home on the day that I was born!”

Madara replies, with a taunting reply, “And if I was, Namikaze?” Madara tells Naruto, “Anyway, I do have some business with your fellow Signer over there.”

Naruto yells out, strongly, “Over my dead body, asshole!”

Madara replies, with a sinister sly tone, “That’s the idea, Namikaze.” Soon after, Madara then teleports away which has his whole form seemly swallowed into his right eye.

Naruto asks, perplexed, “Huh? Where did he go?”

Ninja Ryu tells Naruto, “Naruto-sama, be careful! That was teleportation power of Madara’s space/time jutsu and it seems to have the ability to teleport anyway without the need of formulas like your father’s jutsu.”

Naruto says, looking around, “Just great, Hayabusa-sensei. That means he can pop up just about anyway!” Naruto thinks in his mind, “And I can’t sense him anywhere right now!” Naruto tells Sailor Moon, “Serena, get with the others.”

Sailor Moon asks, curiously, “What about you?”

Haku goes over to Sailor Moon and she says, “It is best that you do what he says. Madara may use you as a shield against Naruto-sama.”

Just then Naruto senses Madara’s aura and he yells out, “He’s here! I can feel his aura!”

Everyone starts to look for him and Sakura asks, curiously, “Where Naruto? None of us see him!”

Hinata activates her Byakugan, she gasps, and she yells out, “Watch out! He’s below…!” However, Hinata doesn’t get to finish as Madara bursts out of the ground behind Haku, Sailor Moon, and Naruto quick as a flash. Madara ruthlessly knocks Haku out and throws Sailor Moon to the ground, hard! Before Naruto could make a move, Madara grabs him by the face, slams him into the ground face-first, and sends him flying into a building which he goes through the solid wall on impact creating a loud ‘crash’ inside.

Ayane and Hinata yell out in unison, “Naruto-kun!”

Madara says, plainly, “Earth Style: Hidden Mole Jutsu. It can be a useful technique especially launching surprise attacks.”

Tsunade thinks in her mind, “So, this is the power of Madara Uchiha? He is really good. We need to attack him now.” Kushina, her Kyuubi chakra cloak flaring, was about to, but Madara had grabbed the stunned Sailor Moon by the neck and move himself into a position that he used her as a good shield.

Madara says, with a sly tone, “I wouldn’t think so, Kushina. Not if you want to kill your son’s precious friend.”

Tsunade calls out, angrily, “You coward!”

Madara tells Tsunade, “You outnumber me, so, I had to even the odds.”

Sailor Moon groans out, “Let me go, you creep.”

Madara tells Sailor Moon, “I’m sorry, but like I said I have business in you and Orochimaru is interested in that crystal of yours. The level of power that it produced has caught my interest too, my dear.”

Sailor Moon tells Madara, “Only I can use its power… too bad for you.”

Madara tells Sailor Moon, with a sly tone, “That’s why I’m taking you after I kill the Namikaze, but I’m not sure about that teleportation power of yours. I had better strip you of your powers first.” Madara then grabs Sailor Moon’s broach, but then her broach unleashes a blinding burst of silver light and Madara cries out in pain as the silver light seems to pierce his body in which he drops Sailor Moon and covers his right Sharingan eye.

Momiji asks, perplexed, “What happened?”

Ninja Ayane says, plainly, “It seems like the power of her crystal has a negative effect on Madara.”

Madara calls out, confused and in pain, “My eyes! What did you do to my eyes?!”

Just then Naruto’s voice booms up, “That’s not going to compare what I’m going to do to rest of you jerk!” Madara looks to see Naruto zooming towards him with his Nine-Tails cloak fully activated in which he tries to get his space/time jutsu up, but something is wrong and he can’t seem to activate it which results as Naruto slamming his fist into his gut sending him flying into the forested area behind Leaf Village’s Duel Academy.

Ayane yells out, excitedly, “He got him!”

Sarutobi says, with a plain tone, “He has, but Madara had ample time to reactivate his space/time jutsu.”

Shizune asks, curiously, “Did Lady Serena’s crystal weaken him somehow?”

Sarutobi says, with a plain tone, “I believe so.”

Naruto goes over to Sailor Moon and he asks, concerned, “Are you okay, Serena?”

Sailor Moon coughs out and she says, holding her head, “Ask me that when my head stops ringing Naruto.”

Naruto asks, confused, “From what I saw, it looked like that crystal of yours hurt him, Serena. Why is that?”

Sailor Moon asks, confused, “Beats me, Naruto. My crystal is used to purify stuff like those Curse Seals like I did with that Anko woman. Why did my crystal affect him?”

Kyuubi booms out in Naruto’s mind, “Let me give you the heads up, gaki! The Sharingan, those cursed eyes, are a demonic mutation of your Rinnegan! My power came from the Jubi, as you already know, which was sealed in the Six Path Sage. He was the one that divided the Jubi’s chakra to create us, the Nine Biju, and sealed its body into the moon. However, before he sealed us, he had two kids and the older one inherited his eyes, but his eyes were demonically mutated by the Jubi, who passed on a piece of its will into the older son of the Six Path Sage. When he was going to pass down his will, the Sage asked the boys what would bring your realm peace and while the older one said might, the younger one said love and compassion which was the way of his dad and thus, the Sage chose his younger son to be the successor. The older son hated that choice and declared eternal war his sibling which has turned into the cycle of hatred of the ‘ninja world’. And guess what? The younger son’s descendants became the Senju while the older one’s descendants became the Uchiha.”

Naruto thinks in his mind, stunned, “No way!”

Kyuubi tells Naruto, “Believe it or not, gaki, it is truth. And that’s the reason that Uchiha are the way that they are. Why I am telling you this? You piss me off gaki, but I hate that man, Madara Uchiha! I would do anything to make sure that man is erased from existence! Now, believe me or not, it is your choice, but that girl is your greatest hope.”

Naruto tells Sailor Moon, “Serena, I think I know why your crystal had such a nasty effect on that jerk! The Sharingan is a demonic mutated version of my Rinnegan!”

Plenty of other people heard that and Tsunade asks, stunned, “Did Naruto just say what I thought he said?”

Shizune says, amazed, “I think so, my lady.”

Sailor Moon says, amazed, “My Silver Crystal does have an effect on anything demonic and since he is filled with pure negative energy and his powers come from his demonic eyes…”

Madara’s voice then booms out, “I see that my former pet has been opening its big mouth.” Just then Madara bursts out of the ground in front of them and Naruto tries to attack him, but he passes through him in which Madara quickly grabs Sailor Moon by the throat in which he leaps to the roof of Duel Academy.

Sailor Moon says, weakly, “Let me… go!”

Madara tells Sailor Moon, “I think not, my dear. Your crystal has done something to my eyes and I must not let a threat to my power and I live. So, farewell.” Madara then starts to choke Sailor Moon hoping to break her neck.

Sailor Moon thinks in her mind, as her vision starts to fade away, “I can’t… I can’t die here… there are too many people counting on me… my friends… they are all counting on me… I can’t let them suffer anymore… and my new friends… I can’t let any of them down…!!” Soon after, Sailor Moon’s body is surrounded by a silver glow as Naruto leaps onto the roof.

Madara asks, perplexed, “What is this?”

Just then the golden crescent moon sigil turns into a golden eight pointed star sigil as Sailor Moon erupts in burst of silver and golden light forcing Madara to drop her and Naruto calls out, “What’s with the light show?” When Madara looks towards Sailor Moon, she is floating in front of him with an omnipotent look in her eyes in which she unleashes a burst of energy that causes Madara to scream out in pain as Sailor Moon collapses to the ground afterwards in which Madara is holding his face as the light damaged his Sharingan.

Madara yells out, in pain, “My eyes! What did you do to my eyes, you wench?!”

Naruto goes over to Sailor Moon and he asks her, “Serena, are you okay?”

Sailor Moon replies, weakly, “Yeah, I’m okay.”

Naruto tells Sailor Moon, looking at the thrashing Madara, “I don’t know what you did, but you damaged his eyes somehow.”

Sailor Moon tells Naruto, “Naruto, form your Rasengan. I can give you what you need to end this madness.” Naruto was confused, but he did what he was told and formed his Rasengan with his Shadow Clone in which Sailor Moon sent her crystals energy into causing it to glow with silver energy.

Naruto says, amazed, “Awesome, Serena!” Naruto says, charging in, “Okay, time to end this Madara!” Madara takes his face away from his eyes and tries to activate his space/time jutsu, but his Sharingan has suffered damage from the energy of Silver Crystal making him unable to in which Madara takes out a hidden blade, but Naruto makes it that blade goes through his left shoulder while slamming his attack home.

“Shining Rasengan!”

When the attack hits Madara, he yells out in extreme pain and agony as his body seems to erupt from silver light which causes his Sharingan to lose all of its power. But as he is dying, Madara sees a black crow coming towards him.

Madara yells out, as he shatters into pieces, “This isn’t over, Namikaze! You got lucky, but I shall return and you will pay…!!!” Madara then seemly vaporizes into nothingness as a column of silver light appears on the roof of Duel Academy forcing Naruto cover his eyes. When the light fades away and he opens his eyes, there is nothing left of Madara at all.

Soon enough, Sarutobi, Shizune, Tsunade, Kushina, and some ANBU appear on the roof and Tsunade yells out, while she and Kushina are running over to him, “Naruto!”

Shizune asks, curiously, “Where is Madara?”

Naruto says, plainly, “Gone. When I purified his Sharingan with Serena’s power that she put into my Rasengan, I guess without his Sharingan, he couldn’t stay in this world.”

Sarutobi asks Naruto, “What do you mean by ‘purified his Sharingan’?”

Naruto says, with a plain tone, “The fox told me that the Sharingan was a demonic mutated version of the Rinnegan, Old Man.”

There are plenty of gasps and Shizune asks, plainly, “Why would the Kyuubi tell you that?”

Kushina replies, “The Kyuubi hated the Madara more than anything. He used it as his puppet and got it sealed away twice.”

Tsunade says, with a nod, “That would really piss me off too.” Tsunade says, with a snarl, “And this just gets me pissed off. They bashed your boy, my godson, while praising a demonically created dojutsu.”

Shizune says, amazed, “Since Madara’s Sharingan was the thing that kept him alive, this means that…”

Ninja Ryu, Ninja Ayane, and Momiji appear on the scene and Ninja Ryu says, “Madara Uchiha is dead. Without his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he can’t stay in this mortal plane.”

Ninja Ayane replies, “Good riddance to bad rubbish.”

Naruto says, with a nod, “I’ll say.”

Just then a female voice calls out, “Do you really think that this is over?”

Everyone whips their heads to see Sailor Charon in front of them and Sailor Moon says, weakly, “Sailor Charon…”

Sailor Charon tells Sailor Moon, “I am glad that you are well, princess.” Sailor Charon tells everyone, “While you have indeed sent Madara Uchiha to his demise, he is far from done.”

Naruto yells out, “He’s dead! How can he come back from that?”

Sailor Charon tells Naruto, with a plain tone, “You tell me, young Signer. What is the one force that can revive the dead through they are still no longer among the living?”

Tsunade says, shocked, “Don’t tell me…”

Sailor Charon says, with a nod, “Madara Uchiha will return as a Dark Signer.”

There are plenty of gasps and Naruto calls out, “Oh, man! Not again! We barely beat this asshole this time!”

Sailor Charon tells Naruto, “Only because my princess’ crystal weakened his Sharingan which is indeed a demonic mutation of the Rinnegan allowing you to damage it and destroy his life-force. However, the Earthbound Immortal sense his great darkness and knows that he will be valuable for the battles in the future against you and the other Signers. Even as we speak, he is being revived.”

Kushina says, drolly, “Just wonderful.”

Sailor Charon tells them, “The battles ahead will make even this one seem like a picnic. Goodbye and good luck to all of you.” Soon after, she opens a portal and goes through the portal before any can say or do anything to stop her. However, what they didn’t know that Zetsu, the Akatsuki member with the Venus Fly-Trap like head, vanishes into the trees some distance away from prying eyes.

(Around the same time; Back with Jaden and Alexis)

Returning to Jaden and Alexis, we find Jaden and Yami Bakura/Zorc about to duel in a deadly Shadow Game in which both of them have activated their duel disks, drawn their first hands, and their life-points counters register 4000 life-points each as they are about to start their duel.

Starting Scores:
Jaden: 4000
Yami Bakura: 4000

Jaden says, drawing a card, “Okay, Zorc, time to get your game on!” Jaden says, putting one card on his duel disk, “I play my Elemental Hero Clayman in defense mode!” Soon after, Elemental Hero Clayman (800/2000) appears on the field in defense mode. Jaden says, putting three cards face-down, “I throw down three face-downs and end my turn!”

Yami Bakura says, with a smirk while drawing a card, “Is that all, boy?” Yami Bakura says, putting one card on his duel disk, “I play one monster card face-down!” Yami Bakura says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “Then I play my Dark Door spell card! As long as this card remains in play, both of us can only attack one per turn!”

Jaden says, annoyed, “That stinks.”

Yami Bakura says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “And finally, I’ll end with a card face-down to end my turn.”

Jaden says, drawing a card, “Okay, Zorc, it’s my turn now!” Jaden says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Fusion Birth spell card! This sweet card allows me to discard the top five cards in my deck and if there are two Fusion Material monsters among those cards, it is time to fuse!” Jaden takes the top five cards in his deck, discards Elemental Hero Avian (1000/1000) monster card, Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (1200/800) monster card, Elemental Mirage trap card, Cocoon Party spell card, and Wrath of Neos spell card, and Jaden says, taking a Fusion Monster card from his Extra Deck, “Since Avian and Burstinatrix were there, I can combine them together to form Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!” When Jaden puts the Fusion Monster card on his duel disk, Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (2100/1200) in attack mode and after the monster appears on the field, Jaden calls out, “Flame Wingman, show hello!” Flame Wingman then unleashes a blast of flames from his dragon head right hand/arm that slams into the face-down, destroying one Morphing Jar (700/600).

Yami Bakura says, discarding his hand, “Now, my Morphing Jar forces us to discard our hands and draw five more cards from our decks!” Jaden discards the two cards in his hand and both Jaden and Yami Bakura draw five new cards from his deck.

Alexis thinks in his mind, “What is he up to?”

Jaden says, with a grin, “But Flame Wingman still makes you lose life-points equal to your monster’s attack points.” Flame Wingman then unleashes flames and Yami Bakura yelps as he loses 700 life-points causing a portion of his arm to vanish.

Alexis says, stunned, “His arm!”

Yami Bakura says, with a grin, “That’s right, girl! Every time that we lose life-points, a piece of us will go to the shadows!”

Jaden says, with a plain tone, “Like I didn’t expect that kind of Shadow Game before.”

Yami Bakura says, with a smirk, “We’ll see how confident you are when you are being drawn into the shadows.”

Jaden says, with a plain tone, “Okay, Zorc, I’ll end my turn.”

Current Score:
Jaden: 4000
Yami Bakura: 3300

Yami Bakura says, with a grin, “And the start of your destruction, boy.” Yami Bakura says, with a grin, “And now, by removing three Fiend monsters in my graveyard, I can play one of my strongest creatures! Meet Dark Necrofear!” After Yami Bakura removes Headless Knight (1450/1700), Doomcaliber Knight (1900/1800), and Earthbound Spirit (500/2000) monster cards from his graveyard, he puts one card on his duel disk and Dark Necrofear (2200/2800) appears on the field in attack mode. Yami Bakura calls out, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “Then I play my Ancient Rules spell card! This card allows me to play one level five or above Normal Monster, so, meet The Earl of Demise!” Yami Bakura puts one card on his duel disk and The Earl of Demise (2000/700) appears on the field in attack mode. Yami Bakura says, putting another card into the spell/trap slots, “And then I play my Spiritualistic Medium spell card! I discard the rest of my hand and my Earl gains five hundred points for every card that I discard! That’s two for another one thousand!” Yami Bakura laughs evilly as The Earl of Demise goes from 2000/700 to 3000/700!

Jaden says, nervously, “That’s not good!”

Yami Bakura says, with an evil grin, “Not for you, boy! Earl of Demise, take out his pathetic hero!” Earl of Demise then charges in to attack Elemental Hero Flame Wingman.

Jaden says, pushing a button on his duel disk, “I activate my Delta Barrier trap card!” Jaden’s face-down card is revealed to be the Delta Barrier continuous trap card and Jaden says, “Due to this trap card, I can play up to two Delta Barrier trap cards in my graveyard like the two that you forced me to send to the graveyard earlier!” Soon after, two more Delta Barrier continuous trap cards appear on the field and Jaden says, with a grin, “And now, with three Delta Barrier trap cards, I can negate your attack!”

After a triangle barrier stops Earl of Demise’s attack cold, Yami Bakura says, plainly, “Not bad, boy, but you won’t get lucky next time.” The Earl of Demise’s stats go from 3000/700 to 2000/700 since Yami Bakura’s spell card has lost its effect with the end of the turn.

Jaden says, drawing a card, “Lucky, Zorc? We’ll see about that!”
Yubel tells Jaden, “You had better use the cards that I had given you. The power that’s yours as the Supreme King.”

Jaden replies, “Okay, I don’t like it, but someone like Zorc is no joke!” Jaden says, putting one card on his duel disk, “I release all three of my Delta Barrier trap cards to play Uria, Lord of Searing Flames in attack mode!” The three Delta Barrier trap cards vanish and Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (0/0-3000/0) appears on the field.

Yami Bakura asks, stunned, “What is that?”

Alexis thinks in her mind, “So, Jaden-kun did have the Sacred Beast cards when Yubel and Jay-kun fused into one.”

Jaden tells Yami Bakura, “This is one of the Sacred Beast cards, Zorc! And time for you to meet my pal first hand! Uria, take out Dark Necrofear with Hyper Blaze!” Uria unleashes a powerful blast of flames that destroys Dark Necrofear causing Yami Bakura to yelp as he loses 800 life-points causing another part of him to vanish. However, when the spirit of Dark Necrofear appears on the field, he starts to laugh.

Yami Bakura says, evilly, “Thank you, boy! Now, I can use the power of my Necrofear to possess your powerful beast! Go, Necrofear!” The spirit of Necrofear goes into Uria and it roars out as it moves to Yami Bakura’s side of the field.

Jaden says, pushing a button on his duel disk, “I don’t think so! I play my face-down card: Remove Brainwashing!” Jaden’s face-down card is revealed to be the continuous trap card Remove Brainwashing and Jaden says, with a grin, “Due to this sweet trap card, my Uria remains with me!” Soon after, the spirit of Necrofear is expelled and Uria returns to Jaden’s side of the field. Jaden says, with a grin, “And that ends my turn, Zorc!”

Current Score:
Jaden: 4000
Yami Bakura: 2500

Yami Bakura says, drawing a card, “You are going to pay for that one boy!” Yami Bakura says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I play Pot of Greed! And with it I draw two more cards!” Yami Bakura smirks after he drew the two cards and he yells out, “First, I switch my Earl from attack to defense mode!” The Earl of Demise switches from attack to defense mode and then Yami Bakura says, putting one card on his duel disk, “Next, I play Necro Wall in defense mode!” Soon after, Necro Wall (0/0) appears on the field in defense mode and Yami Bakura says, with a grin, “And now, this wall makes one ‘Necro Wall Token’ for any other Fiend monster other than itself during my End Phase!” Yami Bakura says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “So, I’ll end with a face-down and bring out one Necro Wall Token!” Just then a Necro Wall Token (0/0) appears on the field in defense mode.

Jaden says, drawing a card, “It’s my turn!” Jaden says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I play my Spy Hero spell card! This card allows me to use one spell card from your graveyard as long as I discard two random cards from my deck!” Jaden discards two cards from his deck, a card flies out of the graveyard slot of Yami Bakura’s duel disk, and Jaden says, displaying his Ancient Rules spell card, “And I choose your Ancient Rules spell card which I play now!” Jaden puts the card into the spell/trap slots and Jaden says, putting one card on his duel disk, “Like you said, I can play any level five or above Normal Monster from my hand, so, say hello to Neos!” Soon after, Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

Yami Bakura says, with a smirk, “Like your spaceman is going to help you, boy!”

Jaden says, putting another card on his duel disk, “He is, but he is going to get some help in the form of Neo-Spacian Glow Moss!” Soon after, Neo-Spacian Glow Moss (300/900) appears on the field in attack mode.

Yami Bakura says, with a laugh, “You expect a pile of outer space goop to help you? Ha! That thing barely has any power!”

Jaden yells out, “Oh, yeah! Then try this! Neos! Glow Moss! Contact Fusion!”

As the two monsters leap into outer space which just appeared, Yami Bakura asks, perplexed, “Contact what?”

Jaden replies, slyly, “Contact Fusion! When Neos and a Neo-Spacian is on the field, they can combine together to form a brand new monster! And here comes the one and only Elemental Hero Glow Neos!” The two monsters combine in a bright light as their monster cards are sent back to Jaden’s deck and when Jaden puts a Fusion Monster card from his Extra Deck on his duel disk, Elemental Hero Glow Neos (2500/2000) appears on the field in attack mode. Jaden says, with a grin, “And now, once per turn, Glow Neos can destroy one card on the field and he gains ability based on what he destroys! And I choose your Dark Door spell card!”

Yami Bakura says, shocked, “Oh no!” Glow Neos unleashes a burst of energy that destroys Yami Bakura’s Dark Door continuous spell card.

Jaden says, with a grin, “And with that, Glow Neos can attack you directly!”

Yami Bakura yells out, in disbelief, “This can’t be happening!”

Jaden yells out, “Glow Neos, direct attack!” Glow Neos then unleashes a glowing energy sphere that slams into Yami Bakura and he yelps out as he loses 2500 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:
Jaden: 4000
Yami Bakura: 0

With the end of the duel, Yami Bakura starts to fade away into the Shadow Realm and he yells out, slyly, “Well done, boy! I had indeed underestimated you, but next time, you won’t be so lucky! Remember, I am the Shadow Realm and I shall return somehow and someway, boy!” Yami Bakura gives an evil laugh before he vanishes completely into the Shadow Realm leaving the Millennium Ring behind and the dark shadows that surrounded all of them faded away.

Alexis tells Jaden, with a smile, “Great work, Jay-kun!”

Jaden says, with a grin, “Yep, Alexis-chan! I’ve still got it!” Jaden then goes up to the Millennium Ring and he says, “Three down and four more to go.”

Alexis says, with a nod, “Do you think that Zorc’s aura is still in there? Based on our history books, he sealed a bit of his essence into that Ring.”

Yubel tells Jaden, “I don’t sense Zorc in it right now, but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have a connection to the Millennium Ring still. You had better make sure that the Ring is kept away from the other Millennium Items.”

Jaden tells Alexis, “Yubel says that she doesn’t sense any of Zorc in the Ring right now, but we had better keep it away from the other items.”

Alexis says, with a nod, “Let’s bring it to that Hayabusa guy. He knows plenty about the Shadow Games.” Alexis says, pointing to the distance, “Uh oh! Jaden-kun look!”

When Jaden looks into the distance, he sees smoke coming from Leaf’s Duel Academy and he says, “Oh, boy. That’s from this village’s new Duel Academy.”

Alexis tells Jaden, “We had better check it out.” Jaden nods his head and taking the Millennium Ring with them, they head off to find out what’s happening.

(Much later; Returning to the Hidden Rain Village)

In the Hidden Rain Village, we find Pain, Konan, and Zetsu assembled together and discussing what has just happened in the Leaf Village in which Konan’s eyes are widened.

Pain asks, plainly, “So, Madara-sama was killed by the Kyuubi Jinchuriki?”

Zetsu says, with a nod, “He was. The newest Signer and her crystal weakened and damaged Madara-sama’s Sharingan allowing the Namikaze to kill him with the same power.”

Pain tells Zetsu, “Itachi knows about Madara-sama. Don’t tell him anything. He is actually a spy for the Leaf Village that Madara tolerated thinking that he wouldn’t be able to do anything due to his circumstance.”

Zetsu says, with a nod, “Why is that? You think that it would be best to eliminate him.” Zetsu then says, in a darker voice, “Yeah! Get rid of the fucker for good!”

Pain tells Zetsu, “That may be a wise idea, but with the loss of Deidara, we can’t afford to lose another member. We need to make Itachi feel that Madara-sama is still alive so he won’t turn against us.”

Zetsu says, with a nod, “Of course, Pain-sama.”

Soon after, Zetsu vanishes into the ground and Konan asks Pain, once Zetsu is gone, “What should we do Nagato?”

Pain tells Konan, plainly, “This could be a blessing in disguise, Konan. We can now run the Akatsuki our way. I’ve always known that Madara-sama and I had the same goal, but different ways of doing it. Now, we can use the Akatsuki our way and other than Itachi, Kisame, and Zetsu, they don’t know about Madara-sama. However, we can’t make the same mistake that Madara did and that was underestimated the Namikaze and his allies.”

Konan says, plainly, “I don’t get why he insisted that he go alone.”

Pain replies, plainly, “If we went in full force, we would have been spotted and the whole village would have been mustered against us in which while we may have gotten the two Jinchuriki, we would have suffered major losses and losses that we could not afford at this moment. Madara-sama most likely thought that he could easily retreat if the situation got too bad, but he didn’t expect the sixth Signer’s mysterious artifact to damage his Sharingan so much. Right now, we need to collect the other eight Biju if we hope to stand a chance against the Kyuubi Jinchuriki and it will take time due to the Three-Tails needing time to reform and as you know, by then, Namikaze may exceed his own father in power. We are going to need to use the power of the other eight Biju if we are to get the Nine-Tails.”

Konan says, with a nod, “I see, Nagato.”

Pain tells Konan, “The best chance is to wait despite giving Namikaze and his fellow Signer a chance to grow in power.”

Konan says, with a nod, “I understand, Nagato.” Konan then asks Pain, “But what about what Zetsu said that the sixth Signer’s mysterious ally told him?”

Pain tells Konan, “Then we must be ready for Madara’s wrath and this time, he will no longer be human or among the living. However, this may be turned to our advantage since the Dark Signers’ main target is the Signers and since the Kyuubi Jinchuriki is one, Madara may more focus on revenge which could work to our advantage, but we must wait and prepare Konan.”

Konan says, with a nod, “Agreed, Nagato.” Konan thinks in her mind, “Through why I do I fear what the future may hold?”

(Elsewhere; on the meanwhile)

Within a dark place, we find the Spider Dark Signer looking at a similar cloaked figure, but his cloak had violet markings on it.

The Spider Dark Signer tells him, “Welcome to the Dark Signers, my friend.”

The cloaked figure tells him, “What you purpose is a wise idea, my new ally.”

The Spider Dark Signer asks the cloaked figure, “What about your organization? The one that you created?”

The cloaked figure tells the Spider Dark Signer, “They shall help both of us, my new ally. While Pain rushes to gain control, he shall be aiding us in our plans. Pain may believe that he is in control of the Akatsuki, but we shall be control like I was when I was among the living just awhile ago.”

The Spider Dark Signer tells the cloaked figure, “Very clever as always, eh… Madara Uchiha?”

The cloaked figure replies, slyly, “Indeed. And Namikaze and the Signers shall pay for what they have done to me and they shall know the terror of Madara Uchiha… The Condor Dark Signer!” We can see a Sharingan right eye with black irises in the figure’s hood and a glowing violet Condor mark like the one in the Nazca Lines in his back.

Next time in Chapter 31:

Naruto: Man! I thought that I had finished off that asshole and now, he is going to be hanging over our heads!

Serena: At least, we managed to defeat him for the moment, Naruto. And now, it is time for me to start training.

Sakura: Wow, Lady Serena! You are really getting into the healing arts!

Davis: Huh? Digimon and Ninja have kidnapped Kari?!

Tai (strongly): We need to go after her!

Hinata: I’ll help as much as I can! I need to prove that I can be a strong ninja on my own like Naruto-kun!

Sakura: Huh? Who are you?

Mysterious Figure: I can give you all the power and strength you need to gain all that you need and desire, young one.

Ayane: Hey, Haruno, what’s wrong with you?

Kushina: She’s… possessed! Something is controlling her and it is… a Duel Monster Spirit?

Possessed Sakura (slyly): This girl was so easily swayed since her heart was full of ache and she would do anything to fill that void in which I will help to fill in a way, young Signer.

Ayane (angrily): How dare you? Sakura and I may not have gotten along sometimes, but that gives you no right to do control her like that! I’ll fight for her freedom! Let’s duel!

Serena: Next time on ‘Naruto 5Ds’: Possession is Nine-Tenth for a Duel

Hinata: I’ve got prove my strength!

Davis and Ayane: Game on!

And that’s it, everyone! I bet that you didn’t expect this kind of fight so soon, but I’m sure that you figured out the ending of this fight! However, I don’t think that you expected this kind of ending and Madara may seem underplayed, but like Pain said, he didn’t expect his Sharingan to be weakened by anyone or anything not to mention about someone that knows about the secret of his space/time jutsu which he seems to rely on too much. But like I said before, Madara will be back in the future through not in the near future obviously folks. And what happened with Sasuke and Sailor Charon? You are going to have to wait and see, everyone! Later and best wishes, Naruto, Dueling, and Crossover Fans!
