"Haku! I will not forgive you for what you've done to Sasuke!" Naruto shouts out. His voice is once again deep and heroic. "If it's a shadow game you want, it's a shadow game you'll get!"

Haku is ready for another round "Alright. Let us begin."

Both duelists converted their shields into duel mode.

"LET'S DUEL!!" they both shouted out.

THE BEAST WITHIN

PART 2: Naruto vs Haku

Both ninja are ready for battle. But this time, they are going for 10 battle rewards.

"I go first(7)." Naruto says "I play Naruto Uzumaki (healthy: 1/0\ injured: 3/1) onto the field. Next I discard 1 card to my chakra zone(CZ:1) to play the mission card An Outcast's Dream! That ends my turn(4)."

"(7) I place 5 cards into my chakra zone(CZ:5). I end my turn(2)."

"(5) I place 4 cards into my chakra zone(CZ:5) and attack!" Naruto avatar dashes towards Haku and kicks him in the chest, giving him 1 battle reward(BR:1). "I end my turn(1)."

"(3) I discard 1 card(BR:6) to play the Failure mission card. This allows me to target 1 mission card and destroy it." Just then Naruto's mission card shatters off the field. "I end my turn(1)."

"(2) I allow Naruto to attack!" doing the same thing, his avatar attacks Haku and receives another battle reward(BW:2). "That ends my turn."

"(2) I play Demon Brother Gouzu (E:2/ H:0/ Healthy/ 3\2/ Injury: 1\1) to the field and attacks Naruto." Gouzou attacks Naruto's avatar with a clawed hand, forcing him into injured status(3/1). "I end my turn(1)."

"(3) I was hoping you would do that. I discard 1 card to play the mission card One Morning, which lets me draw 2 more cards(CZ:7)(3). Next 1 discard another card(CZ:8) to play the mission card An Outcast's Dream. Then I use 1 chakra card to equip Naruto with a Kunai(5/3) and attack!"

A kunai is thrown at Gouzou which forces him to injured state(1/1). "And that's not all. Due to the effect of An Outcast's Dream, When Naruto damages a ninja, he gains a 'ninja blade' token which gives him 1 extra power point(4/2)." A strap forms around his avatar's right shoulder with 1 kunai. "I end my turn (0)."

"(2) I discard 1 card(CZ:8) play Zabuza Momochi (E: 5/ H: 1 /healthy: 6\2 /injury:4\1) and activate his ' thick fog' ability, which decreases all non-mist ninja by one (Naruto: 3/1), and then attack." Zabuza shashes Naruto with his mighty sword and deletes him. "I end my turn(0)."

"(1) I play Naruto Uzumaki (healthy: 0/0\ injured: 2/0) and end my turn(1)."

"(1) I attack with Zabuza." Zabuza slashes at Naruto, forcing him to injured state(2/0). "What?! But what happened? Their combat power"

"Naruto has a unique ability. It's called 'imposter'; And it works like this: see, while you attacked me, his Impostor ability activates. When he receives damage, I can flip a coin. If heads, the damage becomes 1. And oh, look," Naruto holds up a coin. "It landed on heads."

"… I end my turn."

"My draw(1)! I use 1 lightning card with 5 more (CZ:2) to play Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu! With this, I can increase his power by the number of the extra cards times 2!" Naruto's avatar then multiplied to 12 and increased his power.

"Now, with my new ninja army, Naruto has more than enough power to wipe Zabuza off the field(11/0). Attack!"

The Naruto shadow clones race toward their target.

"Shadow Clone Stampede!!"

A flurry of punches not only damaged Zabuza, due to the difference in their combat power, he is deleted from the field. Afterwards, he gained a ninja blade(3/0).

"I end my turn."

"(2) I discard 1 card(CZ:9) to play the mission card Bingo Book. With this card, I can look at the top 3 cards of my deck. And if there are any ninja among them, I can choose 1 and return the other 2 into my deck, and reshuffle." Haku picked up the 3 cards, "I choose Haku(CZ:10)." And put the rest back in his deck shuffled. "Then I play him on the field(E:3/ H:0/ health:4\2/ injury:3\1) and attack." Haku's avatar swirls around and kicks Naruto, but his kick was blocked.

"Remember, Haku," Naruto said. "my ninja has the Impostor ability, which means he can avoid 1 damage every time a coin toss lands on heads."

"It can't land on heads forever. I end my turn(0)."

"(1) I end my turn."

"(1) I attack with Haku."

His avatar did the same thing, but had the same result.

"What was it that you said," Naruto said. "about my luck not lasting forever?"

Haku was becoming annoyed. "I end my turn."

"(2) I discard 1 card(CZ:3) to play a second Outcast's Dream mission card. I end my turn(0)."

"(2) I discard my Haku ninja on the field to play a stronger Haku(E:3/ H:0/ health:4\3/ injury:1\1)(1). I end my turn."

"(1) I end my turn."

"(2) I end my turn."

"(2) I use 1 chakra card(CZ:2) equip Naruto with a Kunai to boost his power(5/2). Now attack!" Naruto throws a kunai at Haku forcing him into injured state(1/1) and giving him 2 more ninja blades(6/0)(CZ:3). "I end my turn(1)."

"(3) I place 1 cards into my chakra zone(CZ:11). Next I use 3 water cards(CZ:8) to use the Crystal Ice Mirror jutsu card(1)." Several mirrors of ice surround the two shinobi and entered Haku's avatar into the one above him. "Now the real battle begins. When this jutsu is activated, your ninja loses 1 power point for each card in both of our hands. That includes yours too. And since we hold a total of 2 cards in our hand, he is weakened by 2 points(4/0). And that's not all. I use 3 more water cards(CZ:5) to play the jutsu card Senbon Rainstorm(1)! You're not the only one with coin toss effects. Here's how it works. When this jutsu is being used, I get to flip a coin twice, and your ninja receives damage equal to the number of heads." Haku flips 2 coins and let them drop to the ground. One landed on heads. Just then a flurry of needles fire from each mirror at Naruto.

"Naruto! Activate Impostor ability now!"

Naruto flips a coin and let it drop, only this landed on tails. The needle skewered Naruto's ninja and deletes him. "Now that you don't have any defenses on your side of the field, I can attack directly. Haku, attack!" Haku throws a needle at Naruto giving him 1 battle reward(BR:1). "I end my turn."

'(2) I don't have any ninja in my hand to defend me.' "I end my turn."

"(2) I discard 1 card to play Zabuza onto the field. Attack now!" Zabuza slashes through Naruto while Haku stings him with needles, giving Haku a total of 3 battle rewards(BR:4). "I end my turn."

'(3) Ugh, still nothing.' "I end my turn."

"(1) Perfect. I play Gato onto the field."

"What?! A client card?"

"Correct. Although it doesn't play as a ninja, it's just the card I needed to help me win this duel. Haku, Zabuza, attack!" both of Haku's ninja attack Naruto, giving Haku 3 more bathe rewards(BR:7). "Now Gato's special ability activates. When I win at least 3 battle rewards in a turn, you lose one of yours, which means you only have 1 battle reward. I end my turn.

Naruto is getting weak. He could barely even stand. And with only 2 attacks away from losing, he isn't sure if he could even win now. 'I don't know if I could beat this guy. If I get out-dueled in this shadow game, I might now be able to get Sasuke back. We could all be sent to the shadow realm for good.'
