A/N: This is a Naruto fanfiction story with elements from Yu-gi-oh. IE: The millennium items, the Egyptian God cards, and Exodia.
Chapter One
Rock Lee, a ninja of Konoha, had just arrived from a solo mission. The mission was a C-class mission that consisted of him escorting the President of Industrial Illusions, Maximillion Pegasus, back home to Celestial Country. For his appreication, Pegasus gave Lee four duel monsters cards. They were personally created by him. These cards were Exodia: The Forbidden One, Obelisk: The Tormentor, Slifer: The Sky Dragon, and the Winged Dragon of Ra. These four were the strongest monsters and weren't in circulation. Pegasus knew Lee was a fan and knew these would enhance his deck. But that wasn't the really reason. Pegasus sensed trouble was rising and wanted to stop it before it got out of hand.
Flashback:
Pegasus was a member of the Millennium Clan. The clan had only seven members. Each member wielded a golden relic called a millennium item. These relics had given the wielder unique abilities. The six other members were Yugi Motou, Marik Ishtar, Ishizu Ishtar, Odion Ishtar, Ryo Bakura, and Shadi.
Pegasus had the millennium eye. The eye replace his left one and it gave him the ability to read the minds of others as well as see through their eyes. It also gave him the ability to seal souls.
Yugi had the millennium puzzle. It was an upside down pyramid-like pendant. It gave him the ability to see what a person was capable of. The puzzle had a small ring on top of it. This allow Yugi to wear around his neck via a rope or chain.
Marik had the millennium rod. It was a scepter-like relic that gave him the ability to bend the will of others through mind control. It also allowed him to telepathically communicate with those he controlled. The rod hid a sword in the sheath part of it.
Ishizu, Marik's older sister, had the millennium necklace. It gave her the ability to see through time. It offered glimpses of the past and future.
Odion Ishtar, Marik's older brother, had the millennium scale. It had the ability judge a person's heart against the feather of Ma'at (A/N: Ma'at was the ancient Egyptian goddess of truth). If a person lies while being interrogated by Odion or is revealed to be truly evil, the side opposite the feather will lower as if being weighted down by the person's sins. If the side opposite the feather bottoms out, the person's soul would be sealed.
Bakura had the millennium ring. It acted as a guide to where ever he wanted to go just like a compass. Just like Pegasus, Bakura also had the ability to seal souls. But unlike Pegasus, the millennium ring gave Bakura the ability to summon the monsters that were on the cards.
Shadi had the millennium key. It gave him the ability to unlock the doors of a person's soul, giving him access to the "Room of the Soul". There, the person's thoughts can be observed. The "room" couldd even be rearranged allowing Shadi to alter a person's personality. The brainwashing process can only be undone, if and when the person touches the key. The key can make Shadi and others invisble. The key can also force images, scenes, or visions into the minds of others well as communicate telepathically.
Before Lee left Celestial Country, Pegasus approach Lee with a offer that threw him for a loop. Pegasus, Yugi, Marik, Bakura, Shadi, Ishizu, and Odion was going to teach Lee how to use the power of the millenium items. Lee couldn't believe it. When Pegasus told Lee about the items, Lee was intrigued but knew only the chosen ones could wield the power of the items. However, Lee was a chosen one. Lee wondered how that possible when there was only seven items. Pegasus explained that there was an eighth item that had the power all seven items. This item was called the millennium sword. Pegasus explained that when the millennium sword was created before the other items were forged, King Atem used it to destroy a malevolent being known as Zorc Necrophades.
The days leading up to Lee departure from Celestial Country, Lee was tested by the sword to confirm Pegasus's claims. Lee passed and he felt the sword's power surging throughout his chakra network. Soon Lee was trained and mastered his shadow powers.
The day Lee left, Pegasus gave Lee a mission he thought was crucial for the protection of humanity. Pegasus told Lee to seal the tailed beasts within nine cards and destroy them. Lee wondered if that would be safe as far as the well being of the hosts. Pegasus assured him that sealing the tailed beasts in the cards wouldn't harm the hosts. Lee accepted the mission.
End of flashback
Lee was in the Hokage's office when Tsunade noticed the golden sword. The sword was a long bladed katana with a handle that had a dragon's head and wings. The handle had seven gems on both sides of it. These gems were ruby, amber, topaz, emerald, sapphire, cobalt, and amethyst.
Lee told Tsunade of the Millennium Clan and of Pegasus's request.
"I see." said a concerned Tsunade. "What does he want you to do with the tailed beasts once you have sealed them?" she asked.
"Destroy them." Lee answer.
"How?" she asked. "These are the tailed beasts. They can't be killed."
"Yes they can." Lee informed. "If a card that holds the soul of a person is destroy, then the soul of that person will cease to exist."
'So Sarutobi-sensei's stories of the Millennium Clan were true.' Tsunade thought. 'I better keep this from Danzou, Homura, and Koharu. It's no telling what they would said or do.'
"Shizune!" Tsunade yelled.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked as she entered the office.
"Where is Naruto?" Tsunade asked.
"I believe he and Kakashi are at the training grounds." Shizune replied.
"Good. You and Lee come with me." Tsunade ordered.
Lee automatically knew what Tsunade was thinking.
"So you want to take out Kyuubi no Yoko first?" he asked.
"Exactly." Tsunade simply answered. "Getting rid of the strongest tailed beast should be the start of your mission."
As Tsunade, Lee, and Shizune walked to the training grounds, Lee explained to Shizune what he was about to do. Shizune was worried that sealing Kyuubi away in a card would kill her little cousin. But Lee assured her that Naruto wouldn't be harmed. As the three arrived at the training grounds, they saw that Jiraiya was there as well.
"Yo Bushy Brow!" Naruto greeted
"Afternoon Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, Master Jiraiya." Lee greeted back.
"I see your solo mission was a success?" The toad sage asked.
"Yes it was." Lee answered.
"Jiraiya, the stories of the Millennium Clan are true." Tsunade said while looking at her former teammate seriously.
"Yeah right." said an unbelieving Jiraiya.
"Fine then." Tsuande said. She looked at her grandson. "Naruto take off your shirt." she ordered.
"Why?" Naruto asked.
"Just do it!" Tsunade barked.
"Okay, okay, okay." Naruto said while taking off his shirt.
"Now what?" Naruto asked.
"Just stand there." Tsunade said. "Now, Jiraiya, Lee will show you sensei was right."
Lee took out a card that had no image on it.
"Lee, this isn't the time for duel monsters." Jiraiya said.
"Be quiet and observe before opening your perverted mouth." Lee shot back.
Lee pointed the card at Naruto as an eye made of golden light appeared on his forehead. Before Lee started the sealing, he searched for Kyuubi in Naruto's mind. He found the demon fox. Kyuubi noticed Lee presence but Lee was unfazed. Lee began to search Kyuubi's mind to find the answer to everyone's question: Why did it attack the village all those years back? Lee found what he wanted.
"That impossible!" said a very shocked Lee. "I thought the First Hokage killed him!"
"Who?" asked a concerned Jiraiya.
"Madara Uchiha." Lee answered
Everyone accepted Naruto was stunned.
"What are you saying, Lee?" Tsunade asked.
"Kyuubi attacking the village wasn't a natural occurance." Lee said. "Kyuubi attacking the village was the work of Madara."
"Are you sure?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes." Lee answered. "It seems Madara used a heighten level of the mangekyo sharingan called the eternal mangekyo sharingan to control Kyuubi."
"This isn't good." Jiraiya said. "If he's still alive, then he must be planning something."
Lee began the sealing.
"Hey, Lee what are you doing to me?" asked a nervous Naruto. "I feel…"
Before Naruto could finish the sentence, his body stiffen and his eyes and mouth opened wide. The card began to glow as it drew out Kyuubi from Naruto's body. Kyuubi was fighting to be free but it's attempts were useless. When the process was over, Naruto's body fell down on the dirt and grass. Shizune and Kakashi immediately checked on Naruto to see if he was alright.
"What the hell did you do to him?" asked a angered Jiraiya.
"Calm youself, Jiraiya." Tsunade said. "Lee just sealed Kyuubi within that card."
"Impossible." Jiraiya retorted.
"Is it now?" Lee asked. "Then what's this?"
Lee show the toad sage the card which now had Kyuubi's image on it.
"What the hell?" asked a very surprised Jiraiya. "Didn't this card have no image on it?"
"It did." Lee answered. "But now it's the card that has Kyuubi trapped inside."
"Shizune, is Naruto okay?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes." Shizune answered. She looked at Lee. "Thank you."
"Hopefully the Fourth Hokage and Lady Kushina will be happy with this." Lee said while looking up towards the partly cloudy sky.
"I know they are." Tsuande said with a smile. "Did you forget that the Fourth was my son?"
After several minutes, Naruto had awakened.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Lee just removed Kyuubi from your body." Kakashi answered.
"What?" Naruto asked surprisingly. He shot up quickly and ran to the lake. Naruto looked at his reflection in the water and saw that his whisker marks were gone as well as the seal that was on his stomach. He looked at Lee.
"How?" Naruto asked.
"With the power of this." Lee answered while unsheathing the millennium sword.
"I thought Sarutobi-sensei said there were only seven millennium item." said a confused Jiraiya.
Lee explained to Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Naruto his secret mission and the power of the millennium items.
"Amazing." Kakashi said as he stared at the sword. "This sword is the key to stopping the Akatsuki from collecting the tailed beasts."
"Lee, I have an idea." Shizune said.
"And that is?" Lee asked. Something what telling him that Shizune had a solution that could stop the Akatsuki in their tracks.
"Can the millennium items work in long distances?" Shizune asked.
Lee quickly caught on what Shizune was thinking.
"That should do the trick!" Lee said enthusiastically.
"What are you two talking about two?" Tsunade asked. She began to feel out of the loop.
"I'm going to try and capture the other eight tailed beasts from one spot." Lee said causing surprised looks on Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Naruto's faces.
Tsunade looked a Lee seriously. "Okay then." She said. "But you'll will have to do it in secret. The forest in the perfect place."
"I know." Lee replied as he took out the cards Pegasus gave him.
"Lee, what are those four creatures?" Tsunade asked.
"You'll find out tomorrow." Lee said as he smirked.
"Something tells me this is going to be good." Naruto said as he put back on his shirt.
"Oh, it will be." Lee said. "Because tomorrow I plan on summoning the largest sky dragon this village will ever see."
