Naruto meets Yugi: Duelist & Ninja Chaos

By: DJ Rodriguez and Saiyan Moon Goddess

(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! Sorry for the immense delay, but I have been in a bit of a slump and also enjoying my release from college life. Sure I have just work now, but still... no more tests and exams are a huge welcome for me!

Darien: DJ recently saw a promising fanfic writer say that he is quitting and leaving the Fanfiction game for good, and he got his fire back. He now remembers his passion and love for writing, so now he's going to make damn sure to stick to the game no matter what and continue on for all his life.

Saiyan Moon Goddess: That's DJ for you, gets worked up and when he does, he loses himself entirely in what he sees. Also, this fanfic will be broken down into sagas of sort. After we finish Chapter 30 here, we're going to continue with a new fanfic that is a continuing saga.

DJ: I would like to thank everyone that has participated in this story, and also given us helpful advice on how to move the fanfic along and make it better. Rest assured that we're not quitting on any of you! Not one damn bit!

Now, on with the fanfic!)

Chapter 24

The next day was bright and sunny, a perfect day for fighting and other activities. Right now, the stadium in Konoha was filled to the brim with onlookers, judges, and guests from all parts of the globe. Yugi was seated in a special VIP area with the Kages, sitting next to Tsunade who was in her Hokage robes. His friends were scattered throughout the stadium, all with shinobi/kunoichi from the Rookie Nine.

Mai was with Sasuke and Bill, Téa sitting next to Nicholas and Neji, Joey with Lee and Chouji, Solomon with Shikamaru and Tenten, Serenity with Hanabi and Hinata, and Duke Devillin with Sakura and Ino. Seto & Mokuba Kaiba, Pegasus, and the Ishtar family along with Atemu were seated together with the other jounins. Mako vanished in the morning, indicating he made it back to Yugi's dimension safely. Michiru was also sitting in the stands with Amber, looking on with interest like all the others.

'Well... this is it! No turning back now!' came the thought of a certain blonde shinobi. He walked out of the area underneath the stands and came into the light, revealing it to be none other then Naruto! The stadium started to cheer for the unpredictable shinobi, who smiled and waved to the crowd.

"Wow... Naruto seems so calm and full of confidence." Yugi commented as he saw his friend approach the middle of the arena. The crowd slowly died down as Tsunade stood up and raised her hand for silence.

"This is a special case for the Chunin Exam, different from the rest. Today, we evaluate if one Naruto Uzumaki is qualified to become a chunin-level shinobi. Tomorrow, we will resume normal testing for the rest of the genin." she called out. From the other side of the stadium, opposite from where Naruto entered, emerged two people wearing chunin-vests. It was Alex Ryu, which was surprising considering he was an ANBU shinobi.

'Thank Kami that he's a special circumstance.' Tsunade thought. Alex was indeed a chunin-level warrior, but he had more skill and control in executing jutsus then most people thus he was appointed to the ANBU section. The other person was a girl with light espresso brown hair with red and bronze highlights, a lean hourglass body structure, and looked to be about eighteen years of age. She wore a delighted smirk on her face, eager to do to battle and confident about her abilities.

Nicholas recognized the woman instantly. 'That's Sarah Yamata, also nicknamed The Dragon Princess. She specializes in jutsus that have dragon forms and names, and uses little else. Her taijutsu and ninjutsu are supposed to be up there in jounin-class, but she chooses to remain in the chunin-class until the time is right for her.' he recollected. The Hyuuga knew that the woman chunin was not to be underestimated by any means necessary.

Tsunade stood up once again and called out "Naruto Uzumaki, you will be tested by Alex and Sarah in the areas of endurance, stamina, and strength. You have fifteen minutes to defeat them and move on to the final test, the test of strategy." She lifted up her arm, and the monitor above the stadium changed to show the time of 15:00. Naruto tensed his muscles, getting into a loose fighting stance and prepared to do battle. The two chunins did the same.

The Godaime dropped her arm, the clock started to count down, and the three warriors went at it! Naruto showed impressive speed and strength as he engaged Sarah in a display of taijutsu skills. Sarah used a combination of fist and open palm attacks, channeling her chakra into her limbs that would make the attacks stranger then one would lead to believe. The blonde shinobi countered by using his Kage Bunshin as extending limbs of sort, moving them in precise ways that they were more like shields and swords.

"Naruto actually thought this out. The Kage Bunshin is more then what it lets on, and it seems he found a way to use it to his advantage." Sakura commented. She had to give credit where credit was due; the energetic young man had changed greatly from the boy she met during their first meeting as a team. Alex soon got into the game, going through some hand seals and slamming his palm on the ground.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)!" Alex shouted and a puff of smoke bloomed all around him. The wind lifted it away to reveal a large blue wolf, about the size of Akamaru. "Time to get serious, Lighting! Transform!" Alex ordered. The wolf nodded and started to glow blue, vanishing and reappearing on the young man's body in the form of armor. Shoulder, head, chest, and leg armor with the wolf head insignia on it plus a large staff with a pointy object attached at the end that resembled a fang. The chunin charged quickly into battle, surprising everyone who considered the youth to be slower given the armor.

Naruto broke away from Sarah just in time to avoid a downward slash from Alex, and the blonde had to use his speed yet again to avoid the raining slashes and kicks from the male chunin. 'Dammit! I taken into consideration everything that they threw at me, but I never expected someone using weapons other then kunai and shurikens!' Naruto thought as he leaped over a devastating downward slash attack. The blonde got a surprise when the fang attached at the staff shot out, a chain attached to it in a secret compartment. It wrapped around Naruto and Alex took it as his cue to spin him around like a human lasso.

Naruto was yelling out for the ride to stop, which had everyone produce sweatdrops on their head. Alex thought 'Well, time to end it then.' He snapped his weapon and the container of Kyuubi was sent flying into the stonewall. Luckily for him, he regained his wits just in time to stick to the wall with his feet via chakra. However, the impact of said landing caused the wall to crack and shudder a bit. Naruto looked up at the board and saw that he only had ten more minutes to finish off the chunins and advance into the final part of the test.

"Here Naruto, try this one on for size! Katon: Ryuuka no Jutsu (Fire Element: Dragon Fire Technique)!" Sarah called out and her body was soon engulfed in flames! Yugi and the others from his world were really surprised and taken in by the fight and the techniques the three warriors used. The flames surrounding Sarah concentrated in intensity and the woman opened her mouth to release a beam of fire that flew fast and furious towards the #1 unpredictable shinobi in all of Konoha.

"Damn! I got to think of something fast!" Naruto said to himself. His brain was jogging a mile a minute until he came up with the solution. 'I hope Kakashi-sensei doesn't mind using the move he used on me.' he thought before going through some hand seals. In a fraction of a second before the fire beam hit, Naruto vanished and disappeared before the audiences' eyes. Most thought the fire was incinerating him. Yugi and his friends were looking all over for him, but Hinata had her Byakugan activated and saw what her boyfriend was up to.

Sarah looked at the action and thought 'I think I got him... I just hope he isn't too hurt.' She got her answer when she felt hands grab her ankles. She let loose a surprised cry before being dragged underground and her head was all that was left visible above the ground. Naruto popped up in front of her and gave the woman a foxy smile. "Hehehe... gotcha with my Doton: Shinjuu Zanshuu no Jutsu (Earth Element: Inner Decapitation Technique)." he said. Sarah struggled to get out, but felt arms keeping her in place.

Alex jumped in, letting out a howl like a wolf. Naruto dodged his attack at the last minute, turning to the board to see that he had only 5 minutes left on the clock. "Time to see if you can take this, kid! Wolf Electrical Impact!" Alex shouted out before his staff charged and hummed with electrical energy. The chunin ran towards Naruto at full speed, intent on disabling him with a paralyzing electrical stab or slash. Naruto thought for a minute, and then came up with a wild gamble. The young warrior created a shadow clone and started to power-up a Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere).

"Let's see if you can hit me with sand in your eyes!" Naruto shouted before pushing the powerful wind orb into the ground in front of him. Sand and dirt kicked up everywhere, forming a mini-tidal wave that hit Alex hard and fast. Said shinobi halted in his footsteps, covering his eyes to avoid getting sand in them. The added pressure from the Rasengan turned the area he was in into something similar like a desert storm, if only for a few minutes. Which was all the time Naruto needed as he ran straight into it.

Alex could not see anything, until it was too late. Naruto dashed straight into him, a low-level Rasengan in hand. He had a shadow clone assist him in making one during his charge in. "Try this on for size, wolf-man! RASENGAN!!!" Naruto screamed as he shoved the orb into Alex's chest. The chest plate armor tried to withstand the damage, but it was too much and a loud howl was let out by both human and animal as the beast vanished, the rest of the armor and weapon going with it. The dust soon settled, the buzzer sounded off, and everyone saw Naruto standing victoriously over Alex.

Tsunade stood up and announced proudly "Naruto Uzumaki has defeated both Alex Ryu and Sarah Yamata! He has advanced to the final test!" Many clapped and cheered for the blonde warrior, especially Hinata. Naruto waved to everyone, a smile on his face and a light sheen of sweat on his body. It was a good workout, at least for him. Medic-nins escorted Alex and Sarah off the field, but both warriors gave the #1 unpredictable shinobi looks of respect and pride. From the loudmouth boy they first knew him as, he had really grown into a strong and skilled fighter.

Jiraiya watched his student pass his first test with really good colors. However, he was disappointed that Naruto did not take his advice. 'If he becomes a chunin, he'll be more of a target for the Akatsuki. Not to mention the Rock and Cloud when they link his looks with the Yondaime, Minato Namikaze.' he thought. The Fourth Hokage of the Leaf was responsible for many deeds, both good and bad for the Leaf and other villages. Not only that, he and Tsunade recently gathered information that Naruto had more in common with the Yondaime then one would lead to believe.

"I just hope that we tell the brat when the time is right, and that he takes in the news well." Jiraiya muttered to himself. He turned his attention back to the arena floor, where he saw Shizune come out and give Naruto one of those new Konoha Duel Disks. The whiskered-faced teen snapped the disk to his right arm and gave the busty Hokage a puzzled look. From the place where Alex and Sarah emerged, another figure stepped out from the shadows. Yugi held in a gasp as he saw who was to be Naruto's final challenge... Odion Ishtar!

Odion spoke out "Young Uzumaki, you have proven your worth on the battlefield. But now, it is time to test your mental prowess and your Hokage has chosen me to test that area of yours!" The Egyptian was tall and intimidating, similar to Ibiki Morino. Nicholas and Bill were well-trained shinobi, and instantly knew that this young man was no fool when it came to strategic fighting. Naruto just smirked at Odion and activated his Duel Disk, seeing Yugi using it so much ingrained the instructions on how to properly use it.

"Bring it on, Tattoo-Boy! I ain't backed down from a challenge, and I ain't starting now!" Naruto proclaimed. Shizune came back to the field with a silver tray, six 40-card decks on it. The beautiful assistant of Tsunade explained to Naruto to choose one to use against Odion. After some thinking, the foxy shinobi took the deck on the upper-right hand corner. Bowing to him and wishing him luck, Shizune left the arena to be at Tsunade and Yugi's side. Odion slipped his deck into the slot, Naruto following suite.

"IT'S TIME TO DUEL!!!" both yelled out at the same time as the Life Points on both disks activated and the duel began in earnest! Yugi was really worried about Naruto now. 'I taught him the basic mechanics of the game for a while, but this is different. Odion is a true Trap Master and if he has the same deck that he used against Joey, minus the fake God card from last time, then he's in big trouble!' the tri-color haired teen thought. After a game of rock-paper-scissors, it was determined that Odion go first for the duel.

After drawing five cards from his deck, and drawing again due to it being his turn, Odion put on a more serious face. "This is one lesson in dueling you won't soon forget, fox child! I first activate my Field Spell card, Temple of the Kings!" Odion called out as he inserted said card into the Field slot. The entire arena soon glowed a bright yellow-white, and out of the light emerged a temple of sort that none have ever seen before their lives! The audience was really impressed by the display, while some looked on with keen interest.

Odion put three cards in the Trap/Spell slots and ended his turn. Naruto smirked as he drew his card and stated "You think this ugly temple is going to help you out? Ha!" Atemu frowned slightly, seeing that Naruto's lack of caution was evident. The carrier of Kyuubi slammed down on the Monster area a card, and materializing before him was a large zombie-like warrior. His face was covered with a mask of some sort with kanji written on it in red, carrying a large curved blade and wearing clothes similar to Tenten's.

"Meet my friend, Master Kyonshee! He maybe a dead guy, but he's more then enough to inflict some serious hurt on you! Go on now, attack that guy with your moves!" Naruto commanded. The zombie warrior did a stance before leaping into the air and coming straight down at Odion for a dive attack. The protector of Marik simply glared at the monster and lifted up his arm, performing a sweeping motion and one of his cards from the Trap/Spell section lifted up to reveal itself.

"That was a foolish mistake on your part, boy! I activate my Trap card, Negate Attack!" Odion called out. The zombie monster hit a spiraling barrier that sent it back to Naruto, who looked both shocked and amazed at the display. Already, he was trying to figure out on how to argument the move into one of his techniques. "Your monster's attack is neutralized, and your Battle Phase has now ended." he furthered commented. Naruto bit back a growl, seeing that his first move was already taken into consideration and countered easily.

Checking the cards in his hand, he Set two cards in the Trap/Spell zone and ended his turn. Odion drew a card, and during his Main Phase One activated another of his traps. "I now activate a special Trap card for you, Uzumaki! Embodiment of Apophis!" he exclaimed. From the Trap/Spell zone, moving onto the Monster zone, was a weird snake-human hybrid that wielded armor, a shield, and weapon that was all snake related. Orochimaru and even Anko looked interestingly at the monster, automatically assuming that there was a snake summons that looked just like what Odion brought up but couldn't summon yet.

"After activation, young fox, the card is immediately treated as if were a Normal Monster card. It is Reptile-type, Attribute is Earth, Level Four, and 1600 ATK/1800 DEF points. Another thing is that it is Special Summoned to the field, which means in turn I get to summon another monster to the field if I so wish it." the Egyptian man stated. Ishizu and Marik were feeling proud of their adoptive brother, seeing him duel with finesse and with style. Atemu knew that Odion was a superb player, but felt that Naruto could still win... if he actually used his head and started to think ahead rather then on the fly like he just demonstrated in the first test.

"Now I summon Vorse Raider so he can take care of that zombie of yours!" Odion declared as he put on the Monster zone another card. Next to the snake warrior appeared a humanoid fighter, but this one freaked out Naruto and most audience members. This being had sharp, razor-like teeth curved into a wicked/sinister smile, having a build that most men interested in strength would kill to have, and wielding a weapon that was unique to the eye and also very dangerous to boot. It pointed its blade at Naruto, the smile even more sinister now to the demon-container.

"Go Vorse Raider, attack his kyonshee with Axe Cut!" Odion commanded. No sooner then the words escaped his lips then the horrific Beast-Warrior charged straight at Naruto's monster, its axe raised to deliver a crushing blow! Or, it would have been crushing had Naruto not activated a trap of his own. A silver round shield appeared in Master Kyonshee's hand, and when Vorse Raider's axe penetrated it, a bright dome of green surrounded the martial arts zombie and the raider was thrown back to Odion's side of the field.

"Ha! I may not be an expert like Yugi, but I know something about Traps myself! I activated Draining Shield, which negates your attack and my Life Points increase by the number of the attacking monster. Which means my Life Points go from 8000 to 9900!" Naruto declared. Many of the onlookers in the stands were impressed by Naruto's thinking ahead, especially Tsunade and Sakura. Yugi however, was proud of the move as was Hinata. Odion knew that his Apophis was not strong enough to attack Naruto's monster, so he ended his Battle Phase.

"Do not feel so confident yet, boy! My ultimate monster has yet to be unleashed! For now, I place two cards face-down and I end my turn." the Egyptian protector of the tombs stated as he placed two more cards in the Trap/Spell zone. Naruto was now cautious here, trying to figure out of what his opponent laid out were Traps or Quick-Play Spell cards. Seeing that it was his turn, he drew a card and then a huge smile was on his face. To most who knew Naruto best, they saw that he had just drawn a very good card that would turn the tide for him.

"It looks like luck is on my side! I sacrifice my Master Kyonshee to summon this monster!" Naruto exclaimed. His monster vanished in a burst of white light, and in its place appeared a gigantic golem that seemed to be made out of both rock and metal. Its arms were as thick as tree trunks, and its armor was certainly impressive to see. "Meet Granmarg the Rock Monarch! Not only is he powerful, but also I just saw his special effect. Once he's Tribute Summoned successfully, I can destroy one face-down card on the field. That means one of your spells or traps are going to be destroyed!" the blonde stated confidently. This, however, did not seem to faze Odion one bit.

"Granmarg, destroy the face-down card that's in the middle!" Naruto ordered. The golem roared loudly and extended his right arm to hover above said card that was near Odion. It brought it down, smashing the card to pieces and kicking up a bit of dust everywhere. Odion knew it was another Embodiment of Apophis card, but he decided that it was not needed for now. The monster retracted its arm and awaited further instruction from his master. "Now that is taken care of, go on and smash his Vorse Raider to bits! Crush him with... with... hmmmm. What to call the attack?" Naruto said to himself which earned some sweatdrops from the audience and his opponent.

"Aha! Got it! Crush him with Boulder Fist!" the blonde warrior declared. The rock beast roared loudly as it heaved its massive left arm and formed a fist, diving down to end the existence of the Beast-Warrior before it. Odion's eyes widen and lifted up his right arm. The card on his right side was brought up, and a strange javelin burst forth to pierce the monarch of rock! It seemed to do nothing as it smashed the Vorse Raider anyway. Naruto and everyone else was confused, until they saw Odion's Life Points increase a lot then decrease a little so the overall total was 9900.

"Let me explain it to you, boy. My Trap card that activated was called Enchanted Javelin, it increases my Life Points by the amount of the monster attacking me. My Life Points increased by 2400, but decreased by 500 after your monster destroyed by Vorse Raider. Thus, I now have 9900 Life Points, same as you." Odion explained in a cool tone. Now things were getting interesting. Naruto simply growled and had his monster return to his side. He put one card face-down in his Trap/Spell zone and ended his turn.

The Ishtar man drew another card. He turned his gaze back to Naruto and said "I set one card face-down, and I summon Familiar Knight to the field." On cue, another monster materialized next to the snake one, a human clad in strange blue armor and wielding a double-edged sword. Odion also switched his Apophis monster to defense mode, ending his turn. Yugi knew the effects of the monster Odion just summoned, but what struck him as strange was that rather then Set the monster down he Summoned it instead. "I believe it is now your move, Uzumaki." Odion stated.

Naruto was a bit confused on why Odion summoned a weaker monster then his earth monarch, but he assumed that the duelist had no other card to play. "Okay, if that is how it is." Naruto said as he drew a card. He smiled widely and decided to show his card later on. "I play my Trap card, Call of the Haunted! I can now Special Summon from my Graveyard any monster onto the field, and I choose my Master Kyonshee!" the whisker-faced teen declared. As he said, the zombie monster he played earlier was brought back to life and appeared next to the rock golem. To make matters interesting, he summoned to the field another monster, which was the card he drew earlier. It was Goblin Attack Force, a monster card with 2300 ATK and 0 DEF points.

"Time to let the beatdown commence! Goblins, attack his snake freak!" Naruto ordered. The goblin horde dashed into the field to attack, clubs raised to pound the snake into dust. Once the horde was upon the snake, it started to pound away until all that was left was snake bits before it dematerialized away. Next up was the kyonshee, who jumped high in the air and delivered a devastating diving kick in the middle of the knight's chest area. It exploded as the zombie warrior leaped gracefully back to his master's side.

Odion lost 550 LP, making his total LP now 9350. He was not fazed declared "Now that you destroyed by knight, each of us can now Special Summon one Level 4 monster from our hands." He summoned on his side of the field a large dark silver dragon, Rare Metal Dragon while Naruto summoned to his side Element Magician, a beautiful human female that got the attention of a lot of preteen and teenage males in the audience. Seeing that his golem was on par with the dragon, Naruto ordered it to smash it to pieces. Both creatures attacked and the two destroyed each other in a wave of dust and debris. Naruto grinned, seeing that Odion was left wide open.

"Okay girl, attack Odion directly!" Naruto commanded. The beautiful Light-attribute magician powered up a spectacular atom-shaped ball of power and shot it directly at Odion. But the Egyptian would have none of it, and revealed another Trap card. It bore strange hieroglyphs and what was more prominent was an eye similar to that of the Eye of Ra. It projected an image of said eye onto the goblins, and the glowing ball soon changed trajectory automatically and hit the goblins instead! The monsters were not destroyed, but a stray club was sent at the girl like a missile! It struck true, and the girl dematerialized instantly. Naruto noticed that he lost about 800 LP, now his total coming out to 9100.

"That, Uzumaki, was my Trap card. It is called Eye of Wdjat, and it stops Direct Attacks on the owner. It then transfers the attack to any monsters on my opponent's side of the field, which in case was your Goblin Attack Force. Since her attack was lower then it, she was destroyed and you lost 800 Life Points." Odion explained. Naruto gritted his teeth together in frustration, seeing that Odion actually planned this out. Seeing that he had two monsters on his side and that Odion had none, his smile returned and he ended his turn.

Odion drew a card and his face instantly became more serious. "Naruto Uzumaki. You fought well, but this duel is about to end quickly. I have in my hand the card that will seal your fate." he stated firmly. He then asked Naruto on why he used Temple of the Kings when no effect of any kind activated when they were dueling. The blonde man thought for a second, then realized that Odion was speaking true. During the entire duel, no increase or decrease in monster ATK and DEF points were seen on either side of the field. No other effects were included rather then the special effects of the monsters themselves.

"This Field Spell card has a unique effect for only one purpose, to ensure the beginning of the end! I now play the card I was hoping to draw! Here it is, the Seal of Serket!" Odion declared as a strange seal of sort appeared behind him above the sarcophagus. Odion then played another Spell card, Cup of Sealed Soul. The two items joined together, and hovered over the sarcophagus behind Odion. They vanished and slowly... the coffin door slid slowly off and soon came crashing down at Odion's feet. Out of it emerged a titanic, horrific-looking scorpion that had most of the audience gasp in shock and awe! Even Naruto flinched a little at seeing such a beast.

It had the body of a scorpion, but its mouth was filled with razor-sharp teeth that looked to grind and slice anything it ate. On its back was the Eye of Ra, mounted on a strange shape of some sort that was attached to the back. It gazed at Naruto and let out a high-pitched roar. "When the Temple of the Kings, the Seal of Serket, and the Cup of Sealed Soul are joined on the field together, they allow me to Special Summon this beast from my hand or Deck! Meet my most prized monster, Mystical Beast Serket (Attribute- Earth, Type- Fairy, Level 6, 2500 ATK/2000 DEF)!!" Odion declared while laughing manically.

This was bad, very bad news for Naruto. 'How will he get out of this mess?' was the thought on nearly everyone's mind, and Naruto was thinking the same thing as well.

(Author's Notes: I hope it was nice and long for all of you. Just a reminder that I ain't quitting the fanfiction business! It is my life, therefore I will keep on writing!
