Let's put is simply: I do not own Naruto or the card game.

NARUTO TCG: CHUNIN BATTLE TOURNAMENT DUELS-

CURSE OF THE SAND

Chapter 1:

Prologue

Long ago, at the dawn of the ninja world,

there was a powerful sage known as Rokudo Sennin.

He not only invented ninjutsu, but able to develop it into a peculiar card game.

But this game erupted into a war that threatened to destroy the world.

That is until the sage is forced to seal the magic away, imprisoning it within nine magical cards.

Now, in the present era, a twelve-year-old boy named Naruto Uzumaki discovered the sacred "Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit" card. Infused with this driving incredible force, fate has chosen him to save the world from a dark and terrible force, which has revived from its imprisonment for 8000 years.

The story thus far…

After Naruto and Squad 7 return home from the Land of the Waves, a traditional competition takes place in the Village Hidden in the Leaves, in which shinobi compete to rise up to the rank of Chunin. People from all over the Land of Fire and Sand came for the exams. Among those were the three sound ninja, and Kabuto Yakushi, whom is discovered to be the spy of the sound village. During the second exam in the Forest of Death, Squad 7 confronts their leader, Orochimaru. Sasuke was the first to fall victim to his skills. Then Naruto, who gave his all, had his powers sealed away from further use. Before his leave, Orochimaru implants a seal onto Sasuke, whom he is certain to seek him for power, leaving Sakura to tend to her friend's wounds.

The next morning, when she was then confronted by the 3 sound ninja, a martial artist named Rock Lee challenged one of the sounds to a duel. Lee made an outstanding victory, but to no avail, as Dosu uses his real sound techniques to injure the Green Beast. When they are just getting closer to kill Sasuke, Squad 10 came to the rescue and used their amazing teamwork to defeat the sound ninja.

With just one more day, Squad 7 must hurry to get the second scroll card to enter the tower in the middle of the forest. Just a few hours away from the tower, they are trapped in a genjutsu created by the Rain ninja. As Naruto and Sasuke, along with the help of Kabuto, battle the Rain in a duel, most of their attacks and jutsu have no effect on the Rain shinobi and their illusionous abilities. But after creating an opening, Naruto landed the finishing blow, in which the gained the Heaven Scroll card and access to the tower. After Naruto and Kabuto part to their designation, they prepare for the next stage in the Chunin Battle Tournament.
