Naruto meets Yugi: Ninja & Duelist Chaos

By: DJ Rodriguez & Saiyan Moon Goddess

(Author’s Notes: Success!! The finals are done! Hopefully, I passed them my classes with C’s. Man, it’s been a very trying week.

Darien: DJ and SMG are tired, but thankful it is all over. Now, they can concentrate more on their fanfics and DJ is hoping to do that!

DJ: Yugi is not going to join a team, but he will take time to know each one of the Rookies. Hopefully, his Shadow Realm powers will develop more fully in time.

Saiyan Moon Goddess: And I'm going to work on a new Yugioh fanfic!

Now, on with the fanfic!)

Chapter 9

Yugi moaned a little, pain racked all over his body. He moved slightly, and felt a firm yet soft material beneath his body. A thin and slightly cold sheet was on his torso, and the boy came to the assumption that he was lying on a bed of some sort. He slowly opened his eyes, and was greeted by the sight of Tsunade & Temari.

"Yugi-san, welcome back to the world of the living." Tsunade said with a small smirk. Temari looked relieved to see him alive, her face showing a few obvious signs.

Yugi groaned and asked, "What happened? Where am I?" The last thing he remembered was talking to Mahado (Dark Magician) while witnessing Itachi being swamped with vicious Duel Monsters.

"You’re in Konoha Hospital again. Sakura brought you back." Temari answered. Tsunade stated, "Yugi, I think we need to talk about what happened earlier. What the others saw back in the forest… well, we all need to know something."

Yugi heard the seriousness in her voice and assumed that something very bad happened and it involved him. "Yes ma’am. How soon can I leave the hospital to explain?" he replied.

Tsunade answered, "Right now, actually. You were just knocked out when Sakura brought you in, and I thought it best to keep you in the hospital just to be safe."

Yugi nodded his head, understanding her decision. He saw his clothes were still on his body and he was grateful for that, because if he was wearing a hospital gown his backside would be exposed and he didn’t want to offend the two ladies. He got up off the bed, put on his duel disk that was sitting at the small table, and went out with the two.

The small duelist walked out of the hospital, still receiving stares from the crowd. He blushed slightly, knowing it was his clothes, duel disk, and most of all his hair that stood out of the crowd. Tsunade led the way back to the academy, but Temari hung back a bit to talk to her new crush.

"Yugi, do you think you can teach us the Duel Monsters card game? I mean, it looks pretty complicated but cool to play." she asked him.

The teenager answered "Sure, Temari. The duel disk isn’t necessary to play the game, it just makes it more realistic, that’s all." Temari was a smart woman, and wanted to test her mental skills on something more then Shoegi. The two then talked about things related to the game, and Yugi was warming up to the girl.

"Okay, you two. Enough chattering. We’re here." Tsunade said, ending their conversation. Yugi went into the building first, Tsunade second, and Temari last. Upon entering and walking back to the classroom, he found the rest of his new acquaintances waiting for him. He took note on the look of slight fear in Hinata’s and Ino’s eyes.

Yugi took his place at the head podium and was sweating nervously as all eyes were on him. "So, what happened after I got knocked out?" he asked.

Ino answered "First off, you were glowing in gold light and had a golden upside down pyramid around your neck! Second, you seemed to have scared off Uchiha Itachi which is a big deal!" This surprised Yugi greatly. It wasn’t when she mentioned Itachi and scaring him off, it was the part when she said he had the Puzzle.

"Yugi, how did you do it? You were held under Itachi’s Tsukuyomi, then it was him gasping for dear life and having cuts and burns on his body. No one has been able to turn the tables on him when he does that, but you did." Kakashi asked calmly, but on the inside he was slightly shaken.

"I-I don’t know, honest I don’t! It’s not possible for me to have the Millenium Puzzle, because it’s still back in my world! I don’t know how it could just appear on me!" Yugi exclaimed.

Tsunade stepped in and raised her hand to gain everyone’s attention. "I think that looking for the answers will have to wait. For now, I have my own announcement to make." she said. She was doing this because it would give Yugi the time to figure out what did happen, and also to implement her new plan.

"From what I heard in the reports, many nins from the other countries and villages are looking for Yugi. The Cloud nins and Stone nins from the battle escaped, and no doubt reported back to their respective leaders. I’m afraid that they will send their nins to try and capture him." Tsunade started to say.

Amber, Ino, and Temari were very upset at this. The rest were, but not so much as those three. "That is why as of now, Yugi will be staying with one of the teams for a week. After a week has passed, he will go to another team and stay with them." she continued.

"Why is that, Tsunade-sama?" Ten-Ten inquired.

The Godaime answered "I want Yugi to get to know all of us better, and also be able to see how we live as shinobi. He’s not going to be a member per say, but rather as a special guest. Also, it’ll be easier for him to be protected from outside nins."

Asuma took a drag from his cigarette and asked "So, which team will Yugi be staying in?"

Tsunade answered that he would be in Team 8 for now. She turned to Kurenai and said "He’s all yours for a week, Kurenai. I hope your students don’t drive him mad."

The Genjutsu specialist chuckled and replied "I’ll make sure of that. Although, I’m pretty sure Kiba and his dog will drive him up the walls soon." The dog-boy and his faithful companion bristled slightly at the comment, but everyone else just laughed. Yugi thought that this arrangement was a good idea.

"But Tsunade-sama, where will Yugi stay? After all, he is a stranger and has no home to go." Hiashi pointed out. The family heads, including the prestigious ones, wanted Yugi to stay with them. After some thought, Tsunade came to a conclusion.

"He will stay with Naruto in his apartment."

That caused a massive uproar of protest, Yugi puzzled by this. ‘Why does everyone not want me to stay with Naruto? He doesn’t seem to be bad at all.’ he thought. Tsunade allowed the protests to continue for a few moments, until she calmly and slowly raised her fists… and smashed downward through a desk and broke it into tiny pieces. The crowd of adults became silent.

"That’s better. Now, I want for Yugi to stay at Naruto’s apartment because I feel those two will get along quite well. Besides, its about time the brat learned about what’s its like having a roommate. Maybe he'll get tips on 'how to clean a room'." Tsunade said with a smirk.

Naruto muttered "You’re evil, baa-chan." It was all in fun, though. Naruto was glad to have some company in his room for once.

The Godaime announced "This meeting is over." The crowd got up and slowly left the room in single file. She turned to Yugi and suggested that he get acquainted with his new friends. Before he could leave, she whispered to him so no one but him heard her.

"Naruto is hyperactive and unpredictable; he might just get on your nerves. Once thing's for sure." She grinned. "You'll never be bored."

The young man nodded smiled at her and went off the podium and walked towards Kurenai. He bowed slightly to her, as was the formal greeting custom.

"Good to have you with us, Yugi-san. Come, I’ll introduce you to the team." she said. Taking Yugi by the shoulder, the two walked side-by-side and out the door. She led him in another direction, towards one of the training grounds that her team trained at most of the time.

As they were walking away from the others, Naruto caught up with them and started to talk with Yugi. "Hey, Yugi! I bet you’re excited to be crashing in with me at my apartment, right? Not many people get to share a room with the #1 ninja of Konoha." he asked with energy. Yugi smiled inwardly, the hyperactive boy reminding him of Joey.

"Sure am, Naruto. I’m glad that Tsunade-san made this arrangement. I just hope we get along, that’s all." Yugi replied. In Yugi’s eyes, Naruto was a cool kid. A bit hyper and loud, but overall good. He was still trying to figure out what the adults had against him.

"I bet we will! Well, got to go. See ya!" the hyperactive blonde exclaimed before leaping out the window. Yugi smiled at his departure, and Kurenai just shook her head with a small smirk on her face. ‘Naruto’s still a big prankster at heart. I hope this Yugi kid can survive the storm.’ she thought.

Naruto was walking back to his apartment when he felt the Kyuubi stirring wildly. Once the teenager was back in his dirty apartment, he sat on his couch and went into a kind of trance. From being in his filthy home, he was now in a dark dank area in front of a gigantic cage that held the giant demon fox. However, Naruto saw that Kyuubi was pacing back and forth quickly, something he had never seen before.

"Hey, fuzzball! What’s wrong with you?" Naruto asked.

The Kyuubi growled and faced the human, his face features sharp and scary. "Its that human, brat! That kid… this Yugi, he holds something that is extremely powerful! Maybe even more so then me." the demon replied sharply.

Naruto retorted "I highly doubt that, fox. Sure, he showed freaky powers back there. But, there’s no way that he could have something more powerful then you. I mean, you’re the greatest of demons! There should be nothing that could be more powerful then you."

Kyuubi shook his head and said "Foolish mortal. Listen, and listen well for I will not repeat myself. There is a reason why there are two planes in the afterlife; heaven and hell. I may be the strongest out of the demons, but that’s just it. I’m a demon. The only thing that has ever intimidated us demons are the gods."

Naruto soaked up what the Kyuubi was saying. The fox continued "The demons, both humanoid and beasts, once tried to take the heavens for ourselves. We craved more power, the power to be absolute. Alas, that was our folly. The gods banded together, and their power was truly omnipotent. We were defeated, and cast back to our world in shame."

The massive beast swung its tails around wildly, bitterly remembering on how it was defeated by deities of immense power and strength. "Now you know why I am suspicious of this Yugi brat. He holds the same power that the gods have. It is vastly different, but the feeling is the same. My word is do not provoke him, brat. If he does have the power of the gods, do not bring me in for I will not help." Kyuubi concluded.

Naruto was very much taken aback by this information. "I’ll keep that in mind, fuzzball. But for now, Yugi has the benefit of a doubt. I’ll just treat him like I do anyone else." he stated

~Back at the training grounds~

Shino, Kiba (with Akamaru), and Hinata were waiting for their sensei to show up with their new guest. Shortly after the meeting at the academy, the three high-tailed back to their learning space on orders from Kurenai. The bug expert was once again studying bugs from a nearby tree while Kiba played with his large dog. Hinata, however, was thinking back to what see saw the forest two hours earlier.

‘Naruto-kun and Yugi… what are they? They had more then one chakra source, and both seemed to have an endless amount of power! How can that be?’ she thought. She was broken out of her musings when her sensei appeared on the horizon with their new guest in tow.

"Everyone, gather around! Time to introduce ourselves to our new member." Kurenai stated. Shino and Kiba stopped their activities and joined Hinata in forming a small semicircle around Yugi. All sat on the ground, which was okay for them.

"So, what do we do now?" Yugi inquired. He was a bit nervous due to the nature of the people around him. Shino really creeped him out, Kiba and his dog put him on edge, and Hinata’s eyes really surprised him.

"First, we tell our names and then say what our hobbies, likes/dislikes, and dreams are." the beautiful woman replied. She cleared her throat and started out "My name is Yuuhi Kurenai, and my hobbies are practicing my genjutsu skills. I like men who are strong at heart, and I dislike cowards. My dream is to be the #1 Jounin in all of the world."

Yugi admired Kurenai’s dream, for it mixed in well with her personality. Shino was next "My name is Aburame Shino. My hobbies are collecting all types of bugs. I like to study them, and I dislike people who hate bugs. My dream is to collect and examine every single species of bug."

Yugi smiled nervously and sweatdropped. ‘He reminds me a bit of Weevil Underwood. Only more serious and calm, not buggy and crazy like him.’ he thought.

Kiba took the stand "My name is Inuzuka Kiba, and this is my partner Akamaru. My hobbies are taking care of my family’s dogs, especially Akamaru. I like dogs, and I dislike losers and cats. My dream is to…" He looked towards Hinata and blushed a little. It was no surprise to all, except for Yugi, that Kiba had a crush on Hinata. The young Hyuuga girl was flattered, but her heart belonged to a certain loudmouth blond boy.

Hinata was the last person to go "My name is Hyuuga Hinata. My hobbies are flower arrangements and medicine. I dislike narrow-minded and arrogant people, and I like…" She blushed again, thinking about Naruto. She continued "And my dream is making changes in my family clan."

Yugi said "Its nice to meet all of you. I have a feeling that it’s going to be good being with you guys for a week." Shino was stoic, Kiba and his dog just nodded their heads, and Hinata bowed slightly towards him. Kurenai stated that now it was Yugi’s turn to introduce himself.

"Okay. My name is Motou Yugi. My hobbies are collecting Duel Monsters cards, dueling, and playing games. I like people who are true to themselves and solving puzzles, and I dislike bullies and people who try to harm others to get what they want. My dream is to protect the ones I care about more then anything else."

Kurenai was impressed. This kid was unique, and this was not counting on his special ability. ‘This kid kinda reminds me of Naruto. If he had some shinobi training, he could make chuunin quite easily.’ she thought. Kiba and Shino remained passive, but Hinata admired Yugi’s dream. She lined it on par with Naruto’s dream.

"Shino, how about you and Kiba spar so Yugi can see how we shinobi train?" the beautiful kunoichi suggested. The bug-user shrugged his shoulders, but Kiba and his faithful canine companion were ecstatic. The two got up and went to position, the three onlookers taking their place to see the match. Yugi was sandwiched between the two ladies, any man killing to be in his place right now.

"Might as well start things off! Gatsuga (Double-Piercing Fang)!" Kiba exclaimed. Both himself and Akamaru dove fast and hard towards Shino, spinning at incredible speed and velocity. Yugi’s jaw dropped down in amazement. He had never seen anyone attack so fast and furious.

Shino remained calm, stretching his hands out and muttering "Predictable. Mushi Kabe no Jutsu (Bug Wall Technique)." Coming forth from his hands was an insurmountable number of bugs, creating a wall that blocked Kiba and Akamaru’s attack. Both retreated quickly when coming into contact, knowing that the bugs would eat and drain their chakra fast.

"Whoa! What was that?!" Yugi exclaimed. Kurenai explained that both Kiba and Shino came from a family that was dedicated to animals, and used that to their advantage. Hinata put in that Shino’s family had a deep connection with bugs, and the insects would listen to their commands. Kiba’s family was the same, only toned down a bit.

Kiba exclaimed "Argh! Try and stop this, bug boy! Jujin Bunshin (Beast Human Clone)!" Akamaru vanished in a puff of smoke and a clone of Kiba stood in his place. Shino remained passive, as he had seen this technique before and knew how to counter it.

"It doesn’t matter. Try and hit me." the bug user said coolly. The two Kiba’s became angry and started to attack in an animal-like manner. Shino was able to dodge/counter the attacks with ease. Yugi was amazed by this, thinking he was seeing a live DBZ fight.

After two minutes of attacking and not getting any results, Kiba decided to use his final major attack. "Akamaru, get ready! Jinju Konbi Henge: Sotoro (Man Beast Combination Transformation: Double-Headed Wolf)!" the dog-boy exclaimed. Akamaru and Kiba then fused together, to create a large double-headed wolf!

Yugi’s eyes widened immensely at the sight. ‘They can do fusion?!’ was his thought as the wolf howled and charged straight at Shino. The boy kept his cool, not even flinching at the sight of the beast. The wolf’s two heads charged in, biting at the boy’s arms only to have the body dissolve into many bugs.

The wolf was puzzled for a moment, until it felt numerous bugs crawling all over its legs and going upward. "What was that?" Yugi inquired. Hinata explained that Shino created a replica of himself with his bugs, and now he was using them to consume Kiba/Akamaru’s chakra. And it was Kurenai that explained to Yugi that chakra was a life-energy that many shinobi could manipulate and control to various extents.

The bugs started to bite and drink the fusion beast’s chakra, causing the wolf to howl loudly in pain. In a matter of seconds, the beast split back to Kiba and Akamaru. Both were panting hard, the fusion costing them a lot of chakra and the bugs just draining more. Shino appeared from behind Kiba, using the Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique) to appear and lay a hard blow on the boy’s back. Kiba went down hard, and Akamaru stood over his prone body to protect his master.

"I give up." Kiba muttered sadly. It was bad enough he was beaten, but in front of Hinata was much worse. Shino’s bugs retreated back to their master’s body, and Hinata stood up to help Kiba up. Yugi went to them as well, very much impressed by what he saw.

"That was so awesome! You guys are unbelievable!" Yugi exclaimed in awe. Shino just nodded, while Kiba managed a weak smile. Kurenai came to the tri-colored haired teenager’s side and asked if they could see another demonstration of his duel monsters.

"Okay. But, I wish I had more cards then the ones I have now. I bet that Shino would be pleased to see an Insect-type monster." the young man replied. No one really noticed, but the cards glowed blue for a moment before dying down. The team went to the sidelines, seeing Yugi preparing his duel disk.

Once the projectors were set, Yugi took out five cards. However, his eyes widened in amazement when he saw the cards in his hand were not his own. ‘Petit Moth, Cocoon of Evolution, Great Moth, Man-Eater Bug, Needle Worm?! These cards aren’t mine!’ he thought. Somehow, his deck changed to that one used by Weevil Underwood.

"Yugi, what is wrong?" Hinata asked. Yugi shook his head a little to clear it and said it was nothing. He laid one of the cards in the monster slot and out popped Petit Moth. Shino’s interest was piqued at this development. When Yugi used Cocoon of Evolution, the bug boy’s eyebrows rose slightly.

Meanwhile, Temari was sitting in her bedroom in the apartment were she and Gaara were staying at. She was feeling all tingly inside, thinking about Yugi. Earlier on, she spied on him when he introduced himself to Team 8 and admired his dream for protecting the ones he cared about.

‘He barely knew Gaara, yet he saved his life. Who is this mysterious man who has captured my heart? I want to know more about him!’ she thought with a lovesick sigh. Heh, little did she know that two other kunoichis were thinking along the very same lines. Their names were Ino and Amber.

~At the Akatsuki~

Itachi was brought before the nine leaders, his body still having the marks that the monsters left on him. Sasori and Zetsu were still a bit surprised on what happened. A seemingly weak boy displayed a power unlike they had ever seen before, and was able to bring Itachi to his knees.

"Itachi, care to tell us on what happened?" one of the men spoke, shrouded in complete darkness.

Itachi breathed in heavily and answered "We have found the target, and his name is Motou Yugi. We attempted to capture him, but were sidetracked by Naruto and other Leaf shinobi. I was able to defeat the demon-carrier, and locked Yugi into my Tsukuyomi genjutsu. I had him but… something occurred."

He continued while the others listened on in rapt attention "We were transported to a labyrinth of some sort, filled with doors and stairs that went everywhere and defied the laws of physics. I was confronted with a strange man who called himself the Dark Magician. From the darkness came more beings, all of them creatures who I had never seen before in my existence."

Itachi finished it up "For some reason, my abilities had been disabled and my strength zapped from me. They fell upon me, but before I was attacked… I saw three massive creatures, ones that would loom over Kyuubi himself. They radiated with such power and strength..."

Sasori reported "Whatever those creatures did to him, it allowed him to be hurt physically hence the scars, burns, and broken bones."

The man in the middle, the leader of the Akatsuki, stood up and said in a low voice "Take Itachi to recover from his wounds. From now on, we will concentrate solely on this Yugi brat. I believe that now our plans have changed. Inform our spies to observe and record Yugi’s actions."

Itachi was removed from sight, and the council blended back into the darkness.

~At the Sound Village~

Orochimaru was hearing from Sasuke what had happened on his mission. He was very much impressed on how his "student" held his own against Kakashi, but frowned when he heard the part of Itachi falling to the ground in pain because of Yugi. Even he feared the Uchiha man, and this kid took him down?

He was amused when he learned that Yugi looked weak, but possessed extraordinary power and the ability to summon creatures that had never walked the earth before.

"That little bastard, robbing me of the chance to hurt my brother…" Sasuke muttered after finishing his report. He really wanted to throttle Yugi, to make him pay for ruining his avenger duty. Kabuto calmed him down, saying that his time will come.

Orochimaru merely chuckled and said "Inform our spies to observe this Yugi kid. I want to know everything about him, then I will make plans to bring him to our side."

Kabuto, who was by his side, bowed and inquired "What shall we do about this power he possesses? From what Sasuke-kun told us, Yugi will not likely made a slave easily."

The snake Sannin moved his head to the side thinking and replied "I will figure out a way. But for now, we plan. I have a feeling that this Yugi kid holds the power I want. The power to become an immortal."

~In other parts of the world~

The Raikage was not happy. He had heard from the shinobi who went to Konoha that the mission was a failure. However, he did gain two important details. One was that the target’s name was Motou Yugi, and also that he showed a power that even sent the infamous Itachi to his knees. He knew a power like that would send the Cloud into a new height of power.

"Raikage-sama, I fear that capturing this Yugi fellow would cost greatly. There is little chance for success, if the Fifth Hokage is watching over him." one of the Raikage’s advisors stated.

The leader of Cloud stood up and replied "I know that, Akiko. However, I believe that she has not made him a citizen of the Leaf and that opens up to another plan. I propose that we send envoys to the Leaf Village and try to convince Yugi to come and see our village. We can then show him that being with the Cloud is a better choice then siding with the Leaf."

A male advisor called Bokkai smirked and said "If direct approaches to not work, try the most subtle and stealth way. Politics and diplomacy."

Meanwhile, the Stone nins reported back to the Hidden Rock Village, reporting to their leader the Tsuchikage. The old man was upset that their mission had failed, but like the Raikage he had learned about Yugi’s name and what he did. The Stone nins managed to listen in on the Cloud nins musings before leaving. He followed the exact plan that the leader of the Cloud did, but he made a drastic addition of his own.

‘Let us see how the Leaf like it when every Hidden Village in the world hears about this boy, and want him for their own.’ he thought before sending messages out on messenger birds. He had written to the Lands of Water, Rain, Grass, Waterfall, Lighting, Wind, and Waves. Every hidden village in the entire world was going to be aware of Yugi’s existence… and soon of Naruto too.

~Somewhere in Fire Country~

A white-haired old man was traveling atop a giant red frog, hopping in the direction of Konoha. ‘What I felt earlier… what was that power?! It was on league with Kyuubi, but different. I have to see what is going on!’ the man thought as the toad continued to hop.

He was also busy writing some things down in a little yellow notebook, a goofy smile on his face and girlish giggles escaping him. A book was in his pocket, and the title read Icha Icha Paradise.

(Author’s Notes: So, everyone. What do you think so far?

Darien: Yugi’s going to have a good time with each team, and also with Naruto. But, can he handle what he has seen and will about to see?

Saiyan Moon Goddess: Tsunade is going to have her hands full too, when she receives messages from every Hidden Village concerning Yugi. Will she try and keep him in Konoha, or will she have to let him go? What about the Akatsuki and the Sound?

R&R, no flames, enjoy, and leave long reviews!)
