Hey all, it's a new story, and my first crossover ever! I'm so excited. Hopefully, I'll have enough inspiration (cough-reviews-cough) to keep this going. Now then, welcome to the first in a series of Naruto crossovers, which include Naruto from the Erosennin-verse dimension traveling through different worlds. The idea in inspired by one of the most talented Naruto writers I know, Kyuubi16.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Yugioh GX, nor do I own any of the characters. I do own most of Naruto's cards, because I thought of them myself.
Ok, let's begin! The Shinobi Duelist – Chapter 1!
People in the park stared after the brown blur that sped past them. Most shook their heads in amusement or sighed and turned back to whatever they were doing, while only a meager few continued looking after the running boy.
"Oh man, I'm gonna be late!" Judai Yuki shouted, as he dodged a hot-dog cart. "I can't believe I overslept on the day of the entrance exams! But now I'm all set, I've got my deck, my duel disk, and my... hey, look out!"
A man with tri-colored spiky hair turned and barely even flinched when Judai crashed into him and bounced off, scattering his deck on the ground.
"You're a duelist, aren't you?" The man asked, as he watched Judai pick his cards up.
Judai laughed. "Yeah, you got me! I'm actually headed to join Duel Academia right now."
The man smirked. "You don't say." He murmured thoughtfully, as he reached into his deck pouch and pulled out a card.
Judai finally gathered his stuff and stood up. "Sorry about..." he trailed off when he finally saw who he was talking to. "Hey, you're..."
The man smiled and handed Judai a card. "Why don't you take this? I have a feeling it belongs with you."
Judai took the card and looked at it, seeing a picture of Winged Kuriboh. "Sweet. " He turned after the man, who was already walking away, and bowed. "Thank you. I'll make you proud!" He declared.
"I'm sure you will." The man agreed. "Oh, and when you get to Duel Academia, tell a friend of mine, Naruto Namikaze, that I said hi."
Judai nodded, still smiling, and sped off.
Unnoticed by anyone, Yugi's smile widened. Judai Yuki...I look forward to meeting you again.
"Ma'am, we have a last minute entry at the gates, and he's demanding to take his entrance duel exam."
The 'woman' scowled. "I an not a woman. I am Doctor Chronos de Medici, with a degree in dueling. As for the boy, send him away. He's late, so he doesn't get to try out. Tell him to come back next year."
The man nodded and started turning away when a third voice spoke. "Hold on."
Both men turned to see a blond woman in her late twenties approach them. Chronos started sweating slightly. "Vice-Chancellor Namikaze-sama. To what do I one the pleasure?"
Naruto frowned. "Samejima-sama wants you to avoid the mistake you made last year, when you shut off entry time for applicants too early and caused the Academia a public scandal." She turned to the other man. "Tell the applicant that he will be tested shortly." The man nodded and left.
Chronos seethed. Because of some slacker I'm in hot water with Namikaze-sama. That brat is going to pay. "Namikaze-sama, please allow me to test the applicant myself."
Naruto smirked, seeing through the man immediately. "No need, Chronos-sensei. I'll do it myself." She smiled in anticipation. "It's been a while since I last pushed myself. I hope this kid can give me a challenge."
She leaned forward, checked the entry list, and activated the intercom. "Will Judai Yuki please proceed to Test Field 3, your test opponent will be there shortly."
Judai looked up from where he was talking to two friends he made already, Shou Marufuji and Daichi Misawa. "Alright, it's my turn! Time to get my game on!" His two friends watched as Judai ran down to the duel field.
"I wonder how he'll do." Misawa muttered to himself.
A boy with spiky raven hair sneered. "Look at the little kid, thinking he can play around with the grown-ups." He commented snidely.
One of his lackeys laughed, while the other nodded. "You said it, Manjoume-san."
Another pair of teenagers was watching Judai walk down to the field, where Naruto was looking through her deck.
"So, interested in how this guy does?" The blond girl, Asuka Tenjoin, asked her companion. "I mean, he definitely seems confident."
Kaiser Ryo said nothing, focused intently on Judai.
Down in the field, Naruto smiled as she and Judai shook hands before their duel.
"Judai Yuki, my name is Naruto Namikaze." Naruto introduced herself. "I'm the Vice-Chancellor of Duel Academia, and today, I'm also your examiner." She smirked and activated her Duel Disk.
Judai smiled. "I'm looking forward to seeing how good you are, sensei." He commented, activating his disk as well. "Oh, and Yugi says hi."
Most of the students gaped at him. Chronos had actually fainted.
Naruto nodded. "My thanks for relaying the message." She drew five cards from her deck. "Now let's duel!"
"Get your game on!" Judai shouted as he drew his five cards.
"I'll go first." Naruto drew a card, looked at her hand and laughed. "With this hand I'll win quickly!" She announced. "First I play the spell card Cost Down. By discarding one card from my hand, I get to lower the levels of all my monsters by two." She slid one card into the graveyard. "Now I can summon the ace of my deck, 'Godaime Hokage – Naruto Namikaze' (6/2500/1500) to the field."
Judai and the onlookers watched as a carbon copy of Naruto materialized on the field. "This card, along with most of my deck, was made specially for me by Pegasus. No one else in the world has those cards." Naruto explained as her holographic self crossed her arms and scowled.
Naruto slid two cards into her disk. "I set two cards face down and end my turn."
Judai grinned. "My turn. I draw!" He exclaimed, drawing a card.
"At this point I activate a trap!" Naruto shouted, revealing one of her face-down cards. "I activate Clan Union! Because Godaime Hokage is on the field, I can Special Summon 'The Uchiha Clan Head – Shisui'" (5/2000/2000) from my hand." A man with black hair and spinning red eyes appeared next to the holographic Naruto.
Judai smiled. "Two strong monsters already. Sensei, you really know your stuff." He commented, before choosing a card from his hand. "But it ends here! First, I activate Elemental Hero Captain Gold's effect. By discarding him, I can put the spell card Skyscraper in my hand." Judai took one card from his deck. "And now I activate the field spell Skyscraper!"
Naruto watched, impressed, as tall buildings rose up all around her, with the tallest one standing directly behind Judai. Said boy chose another card from his hand. "Now I activate the spell card Polymerization! I fuse Avian and Burstinatrix from my hand to create Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!"
A humanoid monster, partly green and partly red, appeared on Judai's field. "Thanks to Skyscraper's effect, if one of my Elemental Heroes has less attack points than your monsters, it gets an extra thousand attack points during the battle phase. Now, Flame Wingman! Attack the Godaime Hokage!"
The monster jumped up into the air and sent a burst of fire at the holographic Naruto. The girl screamed for a few seconds before disappearing. Shisui seemed to be crying, although that was logically impossible.
Judai smiled. "I activate Flame Wingman's effect! When he destroys a monster in battle, you lose life points equal to the destroyed monster's attack points."
Naruto sighed as her life points went down to 3400, then sank even lower all the way to 900. "I activate the trap card Family Support! Because you destroyed Naruto, I can now Special Summon a monster with 'Namikaze' in its name from my hand or deck. And the monster I choose is 'The Survivor – Kushina Uzumaki' (10/4000/4000)!"
Judai's smile faded as a red-haired woman appeared on Naruto's field and glared at him. "I throw down a face-down and end my turn."
"My turn. I draw!" Naruto drew a card and smiled. "Because you destroyed Godaime Hokage while Shisui was on the field, due to his effect his attack points increase by 500." The hologram of the Uchiha seemed to get slightly taller. "Now I attack your Wingman with Kushina!"
"I activate my trap card! Hero Barrier lets me negate the attack from one of your monsters if I have an Elemental Hero on my field!" Judai sighed in relief as a force field appeared before his monster, then gaped when Kushina rushed straight through it and destroyed his monster.
"But how?" Judai asked as his life points fell to 2100. Naruto smiled.
"Kushina's effect. When on the field, she can negate the effects of trap cards that prevent attacking. Now, Shisui. Attack Judai directly!" Shisui's hologram smirked and threw several kunai at the boy, causing his life points to fall to zero.
"Looks like I win." Naruto observed, walking over to Judai. "Still, you put up a better fight than most. Some arrogant prick earlier lost to me during my first turn, thinking he was going to win because he had the five VWXYZ monsters on his field. Why he didn't combine them I don't know." Up in the stands, Manjoume was gnashing his teeth.
Naruto smiled and started walking away. "Judai, I suppose you get back to your friends now. All the new students will be headed to Duel Academia Island real soon."
Naruto looked over her shoulder and smirked. "By the way, welcome to Duel Academia, Judai Yuki. I have a feeling that with you around it'll be a lot of fun."
Judai nodded as he watched her retreating form. A manic grin slowly spread across his face. With duelists of her level, I'm really going to enjoy myself here.
Author's note: Ok I was actually hoping this would be longer, but even so, it's the longest first chapter in my stories yet, and I'm proud of it. I'm not going to reveal anything about Naruto's past in her world, since those would be spoilers for Nidaime Ero-sennin, but her past in several words before this one will be explained eventually, either through this story or separate stories for those other worlds. How she got her deck will be explained in this story later on, and how she knows Yugi will be explained in a different one, which I'm hoping to get started on later.
At the same time, Nidaime Ero-sennin is NOT abandoned. In fact, now that my make-up exams are done, I'm hoping to get back to writing and updating both this and Nidaime Ero-sennin quite frequently.
So thanks to all my fans and readers, and you'll be reading more from me soon.
Peace out,
Cole Martin.
