DJ: In the meantime, Atemu and his Egyptian friends will try to educate Yugi Motou in using the Shadow Realm properly. He's had some good advancements so far, but he needs to handle the Realm's power with finesse and control.

Now, on with the fanfic!)

Chapter 22

The sun was rising slowly over the village of Konoha, signaling yet another day to come. The first to awaken was Yugi Motou, yawning and stretching from his spot on the couch. 'Man, some night.' he thought as he rose slowly from his spot. It was a hectic time yesterday, his friends from his own world dropping in like that. He got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower and change into his clothes after that. Twenty minutes later, he emerged wearing the goth-like clothes that he wore on some occasions. He put on the Millennium Puzzle, feeling that it was a part of him. He learned that after unlocking an Item, he could keep it out as long as he wanted.

"Well, Naruto will wake up soon enough. Best not to disturb him in any case." Yugi whispered to himself as he quietly exited the home. Indeed, Naruto did have a rough time last night. He got in some extra training with his sensei and Tsunade, which was surprising. The two sennins pushed him to the limit in just three hours max., and the blonde boy stumbled into his home looking like a zombie. Stamina Naruto does have, but coupled against a protective leader and a perverted yet strong Toad hermit, it didn't matter much.

As Yugi exited his temporary home, he made his way to one of the hotels that close by the district. The establishment not only served good food, but also housed his companions and friends. "I need to thank Tsunade on making the arrangements for all of them." he said to himself as he closed in on the building. Upon the way, he had gotten looks of respect and admiration from some of the villagers who were awake at this time. The people admired that he had intelligence and also favored to using it often, unlike Shikamaru despite his high I.Q. As Yugi made it to the door, he came into contact with a blue-haired girl who was wearing civilian clothes.

"Hello. Are you Yugi Motou?" she asked him. Yugi answered that it was he, and the girl squealed in delight like a fan girl. "Nice to meet you at last, Motou-san! My name is Michiru and I'm a huge fan of yours!" she declared. Yugi was taken by surprise by the young lady's attitude and demeanor. The blue-haired beauty said that she had heard of his exploits and seen his dueling skills the other day. She asked Yugi if he could teach her the basics on dueling so they could one day duel against one another. The spiky-haired teen said that he would, if he had time that is. That puzzled the teenage girl a bit, and was about to ask why when Yugi apologized before going past her.

As the young man entered the building, he did not see the girl smiling sinisterly and vanishing in an instant like a kunoichi. Yugi entered the hotel and rang for an attendant. A man in his early thirties answered the call and asked on what Yugi wanted. "Can I have the room numbers of where my friends are?" Yugi asked before reciting their names. The worker flipped through a large book and soon found what he was looking for. "They are all on the sixth floor, rooms 26 through 30." he informed him. The duelist thanked him before leaving the lobby and going to an elevator.

Arriving at his destination, Yugi went to number 26 and knocked on the wooden door. Few minutes later, the door slowly opened to reveal a groggy Joey. "Yug, what's up?" he asked. Let it be known that for some people, Mr. Wheeler was never a morning person and his looks could be classified as what something the cat dragged in through some barbed wire about now. Yugi smiled nervously while sweatdropping at the sight. "Please, can I come in?" he asked. The brown-haired duelist nodded his head groggily and let his friend in.

"By the way Yug, Vivian and Rebecca suddenly vanished last night while we were talking. Tristen too. It looks like they got sent back home." Joey informed his friend. Yugi thanked him for the info and hoped that the three returned home safely. "Joey, how about today we all see Tsunade and ask if any of you can receive some shinobi training?" Yugi inquired. That threw the Wheeler boy for a loop. He had seen some ninja movies back home, and to be able to do moves like the ones on the big screen was an opportunity of a lifetime! "You bet Yugi! Just think, after some training I can finally be like those kick-ass ninjas in the movies! Only for real!" he declared loudly.

Yugi Motou sweatdropped at the sight, sometimes forgetting that Joey acted like a kid sometimes. He went out and to the next room, leaving his friend to his highly active imagination. In the next room, he found his grandfather and Odion still sleeping in their respective beds. Deciding to wake them up later, he proceeded into the next room. Inside were Seto, Mokuba, Pegasus, and Duke. Seto and Mokuba were sleeping in the two beds, Pegasus and Duke sprawled out in separate areas on the floors. Moving on, the next room had Téa, Serenity, and Mai. The three angels looked very peaceful, and radiant as well. Yugi smiled to himself before closing the door quietly.

The last room held the Egyptians, but to his surprise they were not there. "Wonder where they are?" he asked himself. He scanned the room until he came across a piece of paper that was on one of the beds. Taking it up, he read the writing on it.

Dear Yugi,

Tsunade has called us for a special meeting. She also requests that you come as soon as possible to the Hokage Tower. We have much to discuss.

Sincerely,

Atemu (Yami)

Yugi was a bit puzzled by this new development. 'Why would Tsunade want to see them for? I don't understand.' he thought. Seeing on how Tsunade was the leader of the village, he assumed that it was something of importance. "I better get over there now. Might as well see what this is about." Yugi said to himself before leaving the room and the hotel.

~At the Hokage Tower~

Tsunade was just finishing her meeting with Marik, Ishizu, and Atemu. "You understand the assignment that is now given to you?" she inquired seriously. The three nodded their heads, stating that they understood perfectly. Normally, Tsunade would not give out assignments but rather missions. However, this was a special case and also a bit outside of her jurisdiction as Hokage. Before any more could be said, a jounin entered the room with Yugi following behind. "Hokage-sama, Yugi is here as you predicted." he stated. The blonde said okay, and the jounin vanished in a rush of air. For Yugi, he was still getting used to that sort of thing.

"Yugi, please come and sit down." Tsunade requested. The young teen did so, sitting between Atemu and Ishizu. "So, what is it that you needed all of us here for, Tsunade-san?" Yugi asked. The leader of Konoha explained that she called the three Egyptians in for a reason. "Yugi, from what your friends told me, adding in to the one you explained to me before, they have knowledge about the Shadow Realm that could be useful to you." she started to say. Yugi was puzzled by this, until Marik decided to step into the arena.

"Yugi, listen and listen well. What Tsunade here is suggesting is that we train you in the ways of the Shadow Realm, just like what our past selves did back in Egypt." he stated firmly. This caught Yugi by surprise totally. Ishizu continued onward "Listen young one. From what we learned, you hold the entire power of the Shadow Realm and the Millennium Items. Without proper training and guidance, most likely the power will destroy and harm you and others." Atemu finished the conversation "Tsunade has requested that we train you in any way possible. With the situation right now, you will need it for the future."

Yugi was looking bewildered at the proposal. 'Me?! Getting trained in the art of the Shadow?!' he thought. Tsunade explained that due to the other Kages, not to mention the Akatsuki organization, Yugi would be in jeopardy on a daily basis unless he had some fine control over the items and the Shadow Realm. "I have instructed for the jounins and ANBU to assist you all if need be, but the areas in which you are training in are top-secret. You must not tell anyone who you trust with this information. Understand?" the gambling addict commented. The four responded that they understood and would obey her instructions. Yugi was pumped up, determined to learn what he needed to in order to protect his friends from harm.

~Near the Hyuuga Estates~

In the woods behind the homes of the Main Family, one Téa Gardner was walking around the splendid forest. She had woken up some time ago and decided to take a little walk. "This place is amazing! More beautiful and clean then anything back home." she said to herself. Despite having a lack of technology, the world she was in was amazing and beautiful. It had a natural beauty that beat whatever she had seen back home in Domino City. The young beauty sat down near a small brook, enjoying the peace and quiet plus the gentle sounds of nature that was everywhere.

"I see you have a fondness for natural settings, I see." a voice called out to her. She sat up abruptly and found herself gazing into the eyes of one Nicholas "Phoenix" Hyuuga. Téa was entranced by his milky white eyes, but assumed that he was blind because of that. "How can you see me? You're blind, right?" she asked. The Hyuuga laughed loudly at that, but it was not in the arrogant or conceding tone that most Hyuuga's adopted. It was good-natured and also in understanding. "No, my dear. I can see just fine. My eyes are the result of having the Byakugan, a special trait that exists only in the Hyuuga family." Nicholas explained. Téa was blushing in embarrassment so much, looking so red she resembled a cherry.

"Oh, how rude of me to not introduce myself. My name is Nicholas Hyuuga, pleasure to meet you, dear lady." the Hyuuga introduced with a little bow. Téa smiled and introduced herself as well. Before anything else could happen, Mai Valentine stomped into the area looking pissed. "That arrogant jerk!! Who does he think he is anyway?!" she huffed out in anger. Téa and Nick were taken by surprise of this little intrusion. "Mai, what's going on? How did you find us here and why are you looking so ticked off?" Téa inquired. The hot-blooded blonde angrily retold her tale on the visit she made to Sasuke at the Uchiha residents.

~Flashback: Fifteen Minutes Ago~

Mai Valentine was busy going through the sections in the village, checking out all the shops and such. Despite being in another dimension and universe, she wanted to be able to keep up with the fashions. Right now, in her current attire, she was turning heads everywhere. Girlfriends and some wives had to slap their respective others upside the head in order to bring them back down to reality. Mai really enjoyed the attention, feeling sexy and brilliant as the males gave her lustful stares.

As she went past the Uchiha district, she heard the sounds of someone fighting something. Curiosity got the better of her and she went inside the desolate place to see what was up. She soon discovered Sasuke beating up a training dummy, sweat on his body and looking positively pissed off. "Hey, broody boy! What's up?" she called out. Sasuke was startled by the intrusion, and more so on who the person was. 'Damn it! I didn't even sense her! Am I really that weak?!' he thought as he ignored Mai and continued to hit the wooden post.

Miss Valentine was not one to take being ignored lightly, doing something unexpected by yelling into the boy's ear. She yelled out "HEY, ANSWER ME YOU IDIOT!!!" Sasuke backed off a bit, his head and ears ringing from the blast. "Geez, woman! What is it you want?" Sasuke grumbled. The blonde simply smirked at him and replied "I came to see on what you were doing. By the way, name's Mai Valentine." The raven-haired teen merely grunted and went back to training. "You're friends with that Motou boy, right?" he inquired which was more or less of an order.

"Yeah, I'm friends with Yugi. Kid's got talent, but he lacks some confidence when it comes to girls." Mai answered while looking at the buildings around them. They were in good shape, but had a gothic quality that was rather depressing. "Hn. I don't care about that, I only care on how he got to acquire such power." Sasuke stated coolly. Mai just chuckled darkly, a small smirk on her face. "Heh, it seems that we have something in common kid. You and I, we are a bit alike." she stated. Sasuke stopped his attack on the dummy, now hearing her story. "We both wanted power, enough to get what we wanted. But unlike you... I actually saw that I was a fool to do so." Mai said softly.

Sasuke was now uninterested in hearing her story now. "Cut out the crap, lady. Power is power, and I want the power Yugi has so I can kill my brother." he declared coldly. That earned him a hard slap from the blonde, a deep red handprint now on his right cheek. "You idiot!! I was once like you, wanting only power thinking it was my only way to redemption! But... I was unworthy of it! Yugi had power, but the kind I felt was useless. But, he and his other friends showed me I was wrong. His strength came from his friends and family, and that's how he was able to defeat the one who gave me power." Mai growled out. The blonde started to go out of the district, leaving a stunned Sasuke behind.

"Let me explain something to you, jerk. Yugi's power is from within, something you need to find on your own. I know what you are, Yugi and his friend Naruto telling us yesterday. You sought power from another and relied on it, and look where it got you. You have a lot to learn before even ATTEMPTING to reach a fraction of that power that Yugi has." Mai finished saying before leaving. Sasuke was stunned into silence, and in the trees above watching over him, Sakura was surprised too. Mai was in the same boat as Sasuke, but it seems that Mai actually learned her lesson and was now better then before she acquired power.

'That girl is right, Sasuke-kun. You need to see what you got and look inside before attempting to get stronger.' Sakura directed her thoughts at Sasuke before vanishing out of sight.

~End Flashback~

Téa and Nicholas were surprised at Mai's story. "I have to say that your impressions on the Uchiha is accurate. Personally and professionally, Sasuke was an idiot in his drive for power. He has a second chance, but I doubt he will use it wisely." the Hyuuga stated. Mai went on to say that it would take a miracle for the Uchiha to get a clue, but Téa was an optimist at heart and suggested that Sasuke had a chance to make things right. The three soon left the wooded areas and started to look around Konoha, Nicholas being a tour guide of sorts. Téa and Mai already seen a good part of Konoha, but still enjoyed looking around just for the heck of it.

~Meanwhile in the Forest of Death~

Naruto was doing some exercises, warming up and such in order to prepare for the exam. In the middle of his warm-up, he heard some voices coming from some distance away. "Wonder who's out here besides me?" Naruto asked himself before going over to where the voices were. Thanks to Jiraiya, and some of his perverted excursions, he learned on how to be quiet as a mouse and suppress his chakra to a level that made him unnoticeable. In a few minutes, he found a bunch of shinobi together in a small clearing. All of them had various different metal protectors, indicating that it was a meeting between ninjas from different countries.

A shinobi wearing a protector with the Cloud symbol on it said "That's what I heard. The Raikage is very interested in this Mutou kid, especially after seeing his match against that Shikamaru character." A kunoichi from Rain added in "Same here with our Kage. Although, I don't blame him. That kid is so kawaii! I bit on the short side, but yummy enough to eat!" Naruto had to fight off a chuckle and blush that was threating to come up. A shinobi with a Mist protector interjected "The only reason our leaders are interested in this kid is that he has a power that may surpass demons! From what I heard in one of our jounins reports, this kid can even catch up to the legendary Demon Kyuubi." Naruto could hear Kyuubi muttering inside his mental cage, saying that it was a disgrace to be compared with a tiny mortal.

"Nevertheless, we have our orders. We are to monitor the kid and use what we can to our advantage in order to make him join either of us." a kunoichi with a Stone protector on. She went on to add that the reason all of them were working together in the first place was to turn the tide in their favor, have Yugi ally with them against their number one enemy nation... Konoha! Naruto had to reign in his anger, and waited until the ninjas departed from the scene. Emerging from his hiding place, he knew what he had to do.

"I need to go tell old lady Tsunade about this!" he exclaimed to himself before vanishing in a blur of speed. Had he taken more notice of his surroundings as he sped towards the Hokage Tower, he would have noticed four individuals doing some activities on his right side. It was Yugi, Atemu, Ishizu, and Marik. The four had decided to undergo training right away, Ishizu teaching Yugi on how the Shadow Realm was a place with a will all its own. The number one unpredictable and unbelievable shinobi was training for the exam while the newcomer was training to harness a power that many craved to control. It was going to be a very long weekend indeed.

(Authors Notes: I hope this satisfies some of you out there. In the next chapter, its Naruto's time to shine! Yes folks, he is going to undertake his exam and show the people what he is capable of!

Saiyan Moon Goddess: Let's not forget about dueling, which Seto and Pegasus will teach! Yes folks, the Kaiba Brothers and the Cartoon User himself are going to be teaching a class on dueling. A kind of blending of this series and Yugioh GX, more or less. Holy shit.... What a nightmare this will be.

DJ: Which reminds me, what kind of monster would you like to see the Brothers and Pegasus show the boys and girls of their class? Also, how should the Egyptian teach Yugi in his control of the Shadow Realm and Millennium Items?

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