Chapter 54: Final Duels P3; Duel of Heart! Ten-Ten vs. Rua

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh 5ds or Naruto, I do own Kasumi and her deck which is based off of Fire Emblem Female characters also she does have one one male Fire Emblem Character.

It was my fourth time setting foot out of the Leaf Village. Technically to be fair, the Forest of Death was part of the Leaf Village so those times I went in it didn't count as leaving the village entirely. So this was my fourth time setting foot out it. This time with the make it or lose it mission, if we could beat the Signers before they reached the Leaf Village, we would be able to prevent Orochimaru from using it when he wanted it too at the gates of Konoha. My bodyguards gathered around me as we continued out the gates. Once more I turned to the gates of Konoha and knew that it would be in flames once I came back. The Flames of war would spread.

"Are you coming Lady Kasumi?" Naruto asked impatiently.

I turned "Yeah I am, just looking back before we go" I told him.

"Just let her be" Haku said "You got to remember she's seen her home in flames before."

"From that Orochimaru" I muttered gripping my hand "If it wasn't for him, none of this would've happened! But then the plus side is..." I turned to my friends smiling "The plus side is if things never happened, I wouldn't have found you all. Nor would I know the three Jutsus I know to day. This is why we must make sure history at least for me doesn't repeat itself."

Hearing my speech I was earned with everyone nodding their heads with approval.

"We won't lose!" Haku spoke for the team and I was forced to smile "We will save the Leaf Village, and you will be reunited with your true family."

"If everything goes well" I said happily.

Hinabi turned towards me "But will you move back to New Domino City when that happens?"

I shook my head "New Domino City had too many evil moments, with that Ark's Craddle incident, plus I can't ignore my security guard duties at Duel Academy now."

"That and you are Hinabi and my's teacher for the next two years in the school" Naruto said "You can't slack off with your teaching duties like you have been doing for the last two months!"

"Excuse me?" I shot back at him "Hinabi was I really slacking off?"

"No" Hinabi said "You gave us twice as much homework during that and your lessons were harder."

"You will always side with her you know that?" Naruto muttered.

"Well it was you that lied" Hinabi told him "She's been just as tough as all the other teachers. You know it, I know it."

"Fine, fine," Naruto muttered "But all I'm saying is that she shouldn't slack off when her family is united."

"I won't" I told him "Not for at least two more years."

"Besides" Shikamaru joked "When have you ever been concerned when it came to school? I mean whenever we went to the Academy you were always skipping classes, and acting like the class clown."

"Yeah well you were sleeping threw all of them" Naruto muttered.

"Not always" Shikamaru defended himself "Ino was always waking me up with her talk about Sasuke and all."

"Somehow" I muttered "I can see Ino doing that."

"Besides" Hinabi said "I've heard one rumor involved with you Naruto."

"W-W-What sort of Rumor?" Naruto asked.

"Well I don't know if it's true or not" Hinabi joked "But rumor has it you kissed Sasuke."

"W-W-W-Where did you hear that from Hinabi?" Naruto asked blushing and I knew it was true due to him blushing bright red and then trying so hard to deny it.

Hinabi smiled "I guess it's true seeing that your face is bright red. Anyway Sakura told me."

The mention of Sakura telling it caused Naruto to start sulking and I couldn't help but let out a small giggle. So after Naruto was done sulking, we continued our path sticking together. Suddenly we heard movement as it soon turned to night. Hiding behind rocks we watched as Sound Ninja and Fire Nation Soldiers began marching towards the Leaf Village. I remember looking up at the red commit in the sky. When the movement stopped we continued our path. A bit further from the Leaf Village we heard the confrontation as the war began! Despite the painful cries of both Sound and Leaf Village ninja we continued onward. We had to prevent the Signers from reaching Konoha. I had the experience to remember my first time walking out of Konoha to pay attention to my surroundings.

"What's up?" Naruto asked as I was looking around.

"Naruto...Have you forgotten you're first time out of Konoha?"

"Oh yeah when the Demon Brothers attacked?" Naruto asked.

"Yes," I said "I'm just making sure we aren't being tracked by Sound Ninja of Fire Nation forces."

Just as I said this a Fire Nation Airship approached.

"Me and my big mouth" I muttered.

We wondered for a bit if they spotted me. We got our answer when someone came down from the ships cockpit and went onto it's ledge.

Even from high up I managed to watch as the person began to Fire Bend.

"Incoming!" I shouted in alarm.

Haku groaned as Hinabi looked a bit shocked as Takara raced up taking the fire and just like before absorbed it then flung the Fire Back at the Blimp. I watched as the person Fire Bending gasped as the giant flame attack from Takara came at him. He tried to scamper away but the flames met the blimp and destroyed it. The blimp came forward but thanks to my Earth Bending skills crashed into a rock wall exploding. There was no hope for anyone surviving the impact of the crash. However just as we thought everything was done...Fire Nation Soldiers lead by Princess Azula appeared.

"Well, well" Princess Azula spoke out cruel as ever "Looks like we've found the Signer."

I shifted taking her on was going to be easy but then I caught sight of Prince Zuko. I could handle the heirs to the Fire Nation throne.

"What do we do now?" Naruto muttered.

"Split up and fight our way threw" Shikamaru said.

"Agreed" Haku said.

"Where do we meet up at?" Hinabi asked.

Luckily Shikamaru had a built in memory and he let us know it only he whispered it to us "There is another six way intersection at least five meters from here. We'll join up there

"Alright" I said.

Soon enough everyone split up. The Fire Nation Soldiers fled after my Bodyguards.

"You idiots!" Princess Azula roared "You were supposed to help us fight the Lady Signer!"

I grinned after all they were just as confused when we put our plan into action.

"If it's me you two want" I told them shifting "I'll take you two on."

"Brother if we team up together we can overcome her" Princess Azula said.

"Yeah" Prince Zuko said "But remember she's proven hard to beat, and father forbids you killing her."

"What's the use of having her alive when we have the five Signers?" Princess Azula asked "She wants to oppose him, then we'll let her oppose him."

"Father's orders and Orochimaru's orders" Prince Zuko said.

"Well alright" Azula said "For this let's team up."

"We'll need to" Prince Zuko said remembering that I had beaten him twice already when it came to combat.

I watched them get into position surrounding me at all ends or well trying to. I say there were trying to because I wouldn't let them. It was time for Lady Tsunade's training to pay off and so far it was working. She had taught me never to let both opponents surround you. Always try to have them in front of you. Takara was the only friend I had to help me. She too was circling around my enemies. Princess Azula would be the first to strike. She sent out blue flames at me but I easily Earth Bended. Even with my powers not in their Prime State I sensed Prince Zuko also Fire Bending and neatly Earth Bended so it looked like I was wedging myself in between the two rocks. Then I focused my psychic energies then with my Earth Bending Skills sent the rock walls towards my foes! The Prince and Princess of the Fire Nation were taken by surprise as the Rock Walls hit them forcing them back. I watched as they came right back at me. Fire Bending away this time Takara once again ran into the blasts taking them and absorbing them. Then together Takara breathed out her fire attack and I sent out a boulder. The two attacks connected and formed a molten Fire Ball. The two heirs quickly dodged most of the blow. While they were doing this I managed to use Kakashi-Papa's speed training to my advantage and took them off guard seeming to appear everywhere at once as I landed them a well aimed Gentle Fist. Princess Azula was taken down bleeding from the mouth as I had landed her a blow in her stomach while Prince Zuko managed to block it with his fist and looked at me "Bad idea, Kasumi, I've learned sense last time we fought in close combat."

"How long can you last?" I asked him as Takara was making sure Princess Azula wasn't getting up anytime soon by trapping her in a vortex of fire.

He punched out at me but I blocked it, then I lashed out two fingers and he expertly caught it and ducked then nailed me in the chest. I backed away as he lashed out a kick at me. He then Fire Bended at me and I ducked under it. He then came at me once again and I rolled on the ground then grabbed him by my legs then flipped over and slammed him into the ground. He would've landed face first and it would've ended the fight right then had he not used his arms to protect himself from landing on his face. He then jumped onto his feet taking a rock to his chest backing away once again then Fire Bended a whip which caught me in the side. The force of the attack knocked me off my feet as it burnt my right flank. He then unleashed a Fire Wave at me. I neatly countered by Earth Bending a small wall. This time Prince Zuko's fire smashed threw the wall but I then used Earth Bending again to send the destroyed wall over to him as if they were bullets. He dodged most of them but was stuck by five pieces and he was starting to bleed as he nailed me another Fire ball in the chest luckily I used my Substitution Jutsu just in time.

"You have improved" I said to him as I appeared at his side.

He turned to me punching out at me but I just waved my hand knocking his fist out of the way then lashed out my fingers at his shoulder they connected and he backed away.

"I can say you improved as well" Prince Zuko said as I dodged his fist "The first two times you beat me you were using your Psychic Powers in their Prime state...But now, your not."

"Not as much" I told him as I nailed him again with two fingers this time in his left shoulder. He winced bringing up one hand to his shoulder. He then kicked me and I rolled backwards but regaining my ground on all fours first then got onto my two feet as he came at me I closed my eyes timing it perfectly then spoke out "You're in the Area of my Sixty-Four Trigram Rotation!"

I saw him gasp as he fell for it again "I forgot you had this move!"

"And it's going to cost you" I told him then I began nailing him hearing his painful grunts as I nailed him in his Chakra points "Two Palm, Four Palm, Eight Palm, Sixteen Palm, Thirty-Two Palm...Sixty-Four Palm rotation."

He stumbled backwards as completed the attack, I spun around and pushed out at him. He went rolling over laying on the ground bleeding from his mouth once again.

"Vulpix!" Takara shouted in alarm as the Fire vortex vanished revealing Princess Azula whom had recovered from my Gentle Fist.

"You're strong" Azula shouted "But let's see you try dodging this!"

She started to gain up lighting then hurling it at me. This is when the tide started to turn, I quickly used Earth Bending on the first lighting blast, the second I dodged barely, the third I jumped over, the fourth hit me right in my leg and forced me to fall face first into the ground in deep pain. I was still trying to recover when Azula came closer "Surrender now."

"I will never surrender to Orochimaru" I told her "Finish me if you dare."

"You brought it on yourself!" Princess Azula shouted and she brought up one of her hands and it was glowing with blue fire then in the other lighting "I'll kill you now!"

She sent both of the attacks at my head. I just closed my eyes for a second letting the attacks draw closer to me and eventually striking me.

"Azula!" Prince Zuko shouted as what he thought was my dead body "We weren't supposed to kill her!"

"Well she left me no choice" Azula told him.

Then I surprised them both as I reappeared behind her using Shadow Possession Jutsu thanks to the burning blimp besides us.

The two arguing heirs were caught in my shadow and I smiled "Actually I'm very much alive Princess Azula."

"H-H-H-How?" Princess Azula asked shocked that I survived "I blew off your head with my combined attack!"

Prince Zuko then understood how I did survive as he turned his head to see wood "Think again sis, look at the wood."

Princess Azula turned to see the wood as well then cursed me shouting "Substitution Jutsu!"

"Correct" I told her "And now I'll finish you both off!"

"How?" Azula snapped.

"Like this" I told her and then she and Prince Zuko felt the shadow's arm stretch up to their necks "Konoha's Secret Technique...Shadow Strangulation Jutsu!"

I then heard their painful screams as I heard a crack from both of their necks and then they fell limp. No they were not limp as I found out as I limped over to the two heirs and felt their pulse. They were alive but their necks were certainly broken which meant they weren't going anywhere soon. Then after my fight with the heirs and stuffing Takara between my breasts I limped over to the area where we were suppose to meet at. It turns out the first one waiting for was Haku, big surprise there. As soon as he saw me limping he gasped before running to help me "I knew we shouldn't have left you alone? Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine" I told him as he forced me to lay down "Rest up for now, until the others get her Lady Kasumi."

"Alright" I told him.

Shikamaru and Hinabi were the third people to reach the area while Naruto and Ten-Ten were the last to reach the area.

There we decided to rest up for a while and it was then Ten-Ten noticed a burn mark in my leg "Lady Kasumi you're hurt!"

"I know that" I told her "But no pain no game."

Haku knew better as Ten-Ten thought it was a Fire burn "Lady Kasumi, allow me to take some of the pain in your leg,"

"I'll be fine" I told him.

"Lighting bolts to the leg can slow you down quite a bit" Haku told me.

"Lighting?" Ten-Ten asked.

Haku nodded "Princess Azula maybe a Fire Bender but some Fire Benders can also bend lighting as well. Now Lady Kasumi please allow me to ease some of the pain, I mean I might not be able to cure the wound entirely but I can make it so you won't feel as much pain."

"Alright" I told him.

Soon Haku preformed his Water Bending healing skill. All of us watched mystified as Haku Water Bended a small ball of water.

"How will that help her?" Naruto asked.

"You'll see" Haku told Naruto he walked over to me "Now Lady Kasumi, while I move the water up and down please tell me where you feel the most pain in."

"Alright" I said and I watched as Haku passed the water up and down my leg.

He finally nailed it just right where my skirt ended "Right there."

Haku quickly placed the ball on the wounded area and the intense heat of the lighting begin to be felt again "Hold her arms." Haku commanded "I can't do this properly when she's kicking her legs and arms.

"Sorry" I muttered "It just hurts right there."

"There, there Troublesome" Shikamaru said grabbing hold onto my arms "It'll be all fine!"

Feeling my boyfriend's strong arms on mine caused me to relax a bit giving Haku enough time to complete the process. I still cringed a bit but in seconds the pain was gone.

"You did it Haku" Ten-Ten said.

"Of course" Haku said to her "When have you ever known me not to be able to tell a lie?"

"Good point" Ten-Ten said.

"There is one more thing I'd like to address" Haku said "During our Duels with the real Signer you must battle the Signer's true Signer Dragon."

I looked at him confused as he continued and answered my question "What I mean is sure we might have the Signer's mark which will prevent them from dying but what if Orochimaru brought them to life and immediately when we beat them they lose their Signer abilities?"

"Good point" Shikamaru said "So we have to face the Signer's true Dragon."

Haku nodded "Only by defeating the Signer's Dragon will we be sure to save their lives from Orochimaru's control and the Forbidden Jutsu"

"Besides what you told us why?" I asked

"There has got to be a catch" Haku said "Reviving the dead isn't easily done and is truly a Forbidden Jutsu, there has to be catch...Trust me Aki-Sensei had me do a report on Forbidden Jutsus for extra credit...That wasn't fun having to explain to the entire class about Forbidden Jutsus."

We were all silent at this, and I had to admit Haku was right, there had to be a reason why it was a Forbidden Jutsu. Just before we could relax any further, we heard rumbling sounds. We shifted then a figure appeared. It wasn't a Sound Ninja nor was it a Fire Nation soldier. It was Uncle Rua.

"Uncle Rua?" I asked in disbelief.

Hearing my voice Uncle Rua turned to me "Kasumi?" He asked "Come back to your father and mother, they are worried about you!"

"Not until you come to your senses" I told him.

"You are disobeying a direct order from your father and mother?" Uncle Rua asked "You were always obedient"

Ten-Ten strolled up and Uncle Rua glared at her "What have you done to her kidnapper?"

"Kidnapper?" Ten-Ten asked in disbelief.

"Orochimaru told us that the Leaf Village kidnapped Kasumi!" Uncle Rua said "And that is why we are agreeing to destroy it."

"Orochimaru's lying" I told him.

"Yeah" Ten-Ten said.

"Besides" Haku said stepping up "Would Aki-Sensei really doubt to words of her best student?"

Uncle Rua sighed "Well too bad, I'm going to take Kasumi and reunite her with her parents then the Leaf Village will be gone!"

His mark started to glow and he was surprised when Ten-Ten strolled forward her own mark glowing adding on more to his confusion "Uh, how are you a Signer?"

Ten-Ten winked at me "Simple, we are trying to save you from Orochimaru's control, with my mark, I will free you and you will come to your senses!"

"Fine" Uncle Rua told her activating his Duel Disk then his eyes lit up with excitement as he had always done when knowing a Duel was around "Let's get too it."

Ten-Ten sighed turning to me as I was smiling "That's the Rua I've been raised to know."

She turned to Uncle Rua this time his eyes showed his true self and that he knew he was being controlled without his free will. Ten-Ten saw this too "Don't worry Rua, I will save you...Just do me a favor, hang in there."

She activated her Duel Disks and the two shouted "DUEL!"

(Ten-Ten's Life Points: 4000)

(Uncle Rua's Life Points: 4000)

"I'll go first" Ten-Ten began.

Uncle Rua nodded "Ladies are always welcome to go first."

"Then, I'm up" Ten-Ten began "I draw!"

She drew a card "First I'll start buy summoning Masked Dragon in defense mode!"

Masked Dragon appeared but in defense mode (DEF: 1100, ATK: 1400)

"Next" Ten-Ten began "I'll place one card face down, turn end."

"Then it's my turn," Uncle Rua began "I draw!"

He drew a card "First I'll activate the Field Spell Card Morphtronic Map!"

Uncle Rua played a Field Spell Card and the field turned into a map with strange everyday items in it.

"This is a weird Field Spell" Naruto muttered.

"Incredible of the setting though" Hinabi admitted "Everything feels and looks so real."

"Because the damage is real" Haku said.

"Alright then" Uncle Rua said "When any monster on the field's changed this Field Spell gains one Morphtronic Counter, for each Morphtronic Counter, all Morphtronic monsters gain one hundred attack points."

"Interesting" Ten-Ten muttered.

"And now" Uncle Rua announced "I'll summon Morphtronic Celphon!"

A Cell Phone robot appeared on the field (ATK: 100, DEF: 100)

Naruto burst out laughing "I thought Cleric Mist was weak."

Hinabi hit him in the head causing Uncle Rua to laugh as she shouted at Naruto "Am I the only one that pays attention in class? A Morphtronic Monsters have two abilities each ability depends on the mode they are in!"

Uncle Rua nodded "And now I'll activate Celphon's effect, once per turn he can choose any number one threw six, and then I get to pick up that amount of cards, if any are level four or below Morphtronic Monsters, then I can Special Summon one of them! So..." he did a funny arm movement "Dial on!"

The numbers on Celphon began to glow until it landed on three. Uncle Rua picked up three cards then smiled "Oh boy and what do you know, one of them is a Morphtronic Monster! So come on out, Morphtronic Radion!"

Another Morphtronic monster appeared (ATK: 1000, DEF: 900)

"Why play that?" Naruto wondered.

"Simple" Uncle Rua said "When Morphtronic Radion is in attack mode all Morphtronic Monsters gain eight hundred attack points!"

I watched as Radion's attack rose and so did Celphon's. (1000-1800) (100-900)

"Next" Uncle Rua began "I'll have Radion attack your Masked Dragon!"

Morphtronic Radion unleashed it's attack on Masked Dragon destroying it.

"I'll activate Masked Dragon's special ability!" Ten-Ten announced "When one is destroyed I can special summon one Dragon Type Monster with an Attack fifteen hundred or less!"

She Special Summoned one Dragon Type Monster "Now come on out Twin-Headed Behemoth!"

A twin headed Dragon appeared on the field (ATK: 1500, DEF: 1200)

"Smart move" Uncle Rua said.

"Thank you" Ten-Ten told him.

"Next" Uncle Rua began "I'll place one card, face down, turn end."

He placed one card face down and ended his turn but that was when Ten-Ten shouted "Activate Trap Card, Dust Tornado!"

A dust tornado appeared on the field as she announced it's effect "Now I can destroy one Spell or Trap Card on your side of the field!"

Uncle Rua groaned as his Trap Card was destroyed.

"Then" Ten-Ten began "It's my turn, I draw!"

She drew a card.

"Alright now" Ten-Ten began "I'll summon Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv4!"

Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv4 appeared on the field (ATK: 1600, DEF: 800)

Seeing the new monster Uncle Rua grinned "Bring it on, it's not strong enough to defeat Radion!"

"Not yet" Ten-Ten said "Now it will be when I activate the Spell Card Level up!"

"Go Ten-Ten!" Naruto shouted encouragement.

"Now" Ten-Ten said "By discarding one lower Level monster from the field to the Graveyard, I can upgrade it to a higher level form of the monster. So please meet, Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv6!"

With this Horus Black Flame Dragon disappeared but in it's place was Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv6! (ATK: 2300, DEF: 1600)

"Uh-oh" Uncle Rua muttered "This isn't good."

"And now" Ten-Ten announced "I'll have Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv6 attack Morphtronic Radion!"

With this Ten-Ten's monster attacked and destroyed Radion damaging Uncle Rua's Life Points.

(Uncle Rua's Life Points: 3500)

The explosion caused Uncle Rua to gasp in surprise but he was injured. He held onto his shoulder as particles from his destroyed monster struck him and he was slightly burned.

"Sorry" Ten-Ten told him as he noticed Celphon's attack was now back to normal (900-100) "Now Twin Headed Benomoth attacks Celphon!"

Twin Headed Benomoth attacked Celphon destroying it and once again caused damage to Uncle Rua's Life Points. He was burned again then flung backwards a bit hitting a tree as a result of the Life Point damage.

(Uncle Rua's Life Points: 2100)

"Next" Ten-Ten began "I'll throw one card face down, turn end."

"I'm up then" Uncle Rua began but Ten-Ten smiled "Not so fast, during the turn Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv6 destroys a monster I can discard it to bring out it's final form!"

With this Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv6 vanished and Ten-Ten announced as it evolved into it's strongest form "Please meet my favorite monster...Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv8!" (ATK: 3000, DEF: 1800)

Uncle Rua's eyes widened as he knew what he was up against.

"Ten-Ten should have this one in the bag" Naruto muttered to me.

"She should but don't count him out yet" I told him.

"Then it's my turn" Uncle Rua began "I draw!"

He drew a card "First I'll activate the Spell Card Morphtronic Accelerator,"

A Spell Card appeared "Now by returning one Morphtronic monster from my hand to the Graveyard, I get to destroy one of your monsters on the field" Uncle Rua explained.

"I don't think so" Ten-Ten objected "I'll just activate Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv8's Special ability, he can negate the activation of any Spell Card and destroy it!"

Uncle Rua gritted his teeth as the Spell Card he played was negated and destroyed as Ten-Ten looked at him "Sorry Rua, but you're going to half to find another way to destroy Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv8. Spell Cards just won't work in your case."

"Then" Uncle Rua began "In that case, I'll summon Morphtronic Scopen!"

A machine type monster that looked like a scope appeared on the field (ATK: 800, DEF: 1400)

"While Scopen's in attack mode" Uncle Rua began "Once per my turn, I can Special Summon one Level Four or below Morphtronic Monster from my hand, however if it's still out in the end of my turn, it is destroyed at the End Phase of my turn."

So with this he selected a Level Four monster "Now Morphtronic Boomboxen!"

A boombox appeared on the field (ATK: 1200, DEF: 400)

"Okay" Naruto muttered "Now that's just weird, from what I see it, none of his monsters can beat anyone's deck."

Haku nodded "Normally that would be the case but..."

"But what?" Naruto asked.

"But Morphtronic Scopen is a Tuner Monster" Hinabi answered for Haku "A Level Three one and with the Level four Boomboxen that equals what now?"

"A level seven Synchro Monster!" Naruto shouted and I swore he would've kicked himself in the butt for missing out on it.

"And now" Uncle Rua began "I'm going to tune my Level Three Scopen with my Level four Boomboxen!"

With this the three Synchro Monsters began to join forces with Scopen turning into three rings and Boomboxen being scanned threw them as Uncle Rua chanted down "Docking Strength with Courage to protect the Earth's Peace! Synchro Summon! Envoy of Love and Justice, Power Tool Dragon!"

"And here it is" I muttered as Power Tool Dragon appeared on the field (ATK: 2300, DEF: 2500)

"Interesting monster" Ten-Ten told Uncle Rua "But it's not strong enough to defeat Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv8!"

"Not right now" Uncle Rua said "But it will be especially when I activate his special ability Power Search!"

Ten-Ten looked puzzled as Uncle Rua announced it's effect "Once per turn, I can randomly select three equip Spell Cards and choose one of them."

With this his deck was shuffled and he drew one random Equip Spell Card.

"Nice!" he said looking at his card "And now I'll activate the equip Spell Card, Double C&D!"

I watched as Uncle Rua equipped Power Tool Dragon with it "Now I can only equip this card to Power Tool Dragon or a level four Morphtronic Monster...Anyway during my turn, the equipped monster gains one thousand attack points!" Uncle Rua shouted.

Sure enough Uncle Rua's monster gained one thousand attack points. (2300-3300)

"And now" Uncle Rua began "It's stronger than your favorite monster...Power Tool Dragon attack Horus Black Flame Dragon with Crafty Break!"

Power Tool Dragon took off after Horus Black Flame Dragon LV8 with it's drill roaring but Ten-Ten held her ground "I don't think so I activate my Trap Card Switch!"

Uncle Rua gasped as Ten-Ten announced "Now instead of you choosing the attack target, I get to!"

So she picked Twin Headed Benomoth as the attack target.

"Good idea" Naruto muttered smiling at "Or is it?"

"If Ten-Ten's to stand a chance in defeating Power Tool Dragon next turn" Haku began "It would be better if she had her Horus Black Flame Dragon LV8 survive this round."

So Power Tool Dragon's drill slams into Twin Headed Benomoth's chest and causes Ten-TEn to feel like a Spear went threw her chest as Twin Headed Benomoth was destroyed and Ten-Ten's Life Points fell heavily and it looked like did take a javelin or some sort of spear to the chest as blood was poring from the wound.

(Ten-Ten's Life Points: 2200)

"Ten-Ten!" I shouted as she got up and it was then I realized it was just a small wound but the wound went right threw her.

"I'm fine" She gasped "I'll activate Twin Headed Benomoth's special ability, when he is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard I can bring him back but with only half of his defense."

"No you won't" Uncle Rua said "Because thanks to Double C&D's effect when the equipped monster gets destroyed the destroyed monster's effect is negated!"

Ten-Ten was panting now "Alright then fair enough."

"Turn end" Uncle Rua said.

Both Duelist were injured, Uncle Rua had burn marks while Ten-Ten had a nasty bleeding hole in her luckily it wasn't where her heart is but you still get how grossed out I was.

"It's my move" Ten-Ten said "I draw!"

She drew a card and looked at it "Alright then, I'll set one monster"

A horizontal card appeared in Ten-Ten's monster zone!

"And now" Ten-Ten began "I'll attack Power Tool Dragon with Horus Black Flame Dragon LV8!"

Horus Black Flame Dragon charged Power Tool Dragon and sense it wasn't Rua's turn Power Tool Dragon's attack was normal at twenty-three hundred.

"I don't think so" Uncle Rua shouted "I activate Power Tool Dragon's Special ability...By Discarding one equip Spell Card from him, I can negate it's destruction by battle or by a Card Effect!"

With this Power Tool Dragon's Double C&D vanished but Ten-Ten sighed "Big deal you're still going to take the damage!"

She was right as soon as Horus Black Flame Dragon's black fire attack hit Power Tool Dragon it rushed over burning Uncle Rua.

He grunted in pain as his Life Points lowered by seven hundred. (Uncle Rua's Life Points: 1400)

"Next" Ten-Ten began "I'll place one card face down, turn end."

"Then I'm up then" Uncle Rua began "I draw!"

He drew a card.

"So far" Haku said "Thanks to Lady Tsunade, we are evenly matched against the Signers."

I nodded "Even if Ten-Ten wins the Duel she'll be feeling the after effects for days."

Uncle Rua looked "Alright now, I'll summon Morphtronic Remoten!"

A remote appeared on the field (ATK: 300, DEF: 1200)

"Another Tuner?" I asked.

"That's right Kasumi, you are a smart niece aren't you?"

That was probably what Uncle Rua would've said if he wasn't controlled so I didn't know wither to blush because he was controlled or not to. I choose half way blushing and halfway not.

"And now" Uncle Rua began "I'll be tuning my Level 3 Remoten with my Power Tool Dragon."

"Wha?" Naruto asked "What's he planning?"

"Simple" Uncle Rua said as he chanted down "Revolution of strength and courage to protect one's future! Synchro Summon! Evolve Life Stream Dragon!"

In a bright flash Life Stream Dragon appeared on the field (ATK: 2900, DEF: 2500)

"Now that you've seen my Signer Dragon" Uncle Rua said "I'll activate it's ability, now I can get Life Points to four thousand once again."

Sure enough Uncle Rua's Life Points rose (Uncle Rua's Life Points: 4000)

"And now" Uncle Rua began "I'll equip Life Stream Dragon with the Equip Spell Card Fairy Meteor Crush!"

I groaned when I heard this Spell Card.

"When the equipped monster attacks a monster in defense mode" Uncle Rua began "And it's attack points are higher than your monster's defense, the battle damage is calculated as damage!"

"Oh-no!" I shouted.

"And now" Uncle Rua began "Life Stream Dragon attack Ten-Ten's face down monster!"

Life Stream Dragon began to attack Ten-Ten's face down monster.

"Trap Card activate!" Ten-Ten shouted "Gift of Mystical Elf!"

Her Trap Card activated "Now for each monster on the field, I'll gain three hundred Life Points."

I sighed she would survive this round. (Ten-Ten's Life Points: 3100) Her hole wound looked like it would recover but Uncle Rua's Life Stream Dragon hit the horizontal card which happened to be Princess of Tsurugi which only had seven hundred Defense Points. When the attack hit Ten-Ten she was thrown off balance and her wound reopened and she slumped down as her Life Points feel "Boy" she muttered and I could tell she was in pain "Had I not played that Trap Card, I would've been a goner for sure." (Ten-Ten's Life Points: 900) She then turned to Uncle Rua "Thank you Rua because now Princess of Tsurugi's effect activates causing you to lose five hundred Life Points for every Spell or Trap Card on the field.

Crystals were sent at Uncle Rua but Life Stream Dragon just blocked the crystal's way and Uncle Rua explained why "Sorry but when I would take damage from a Card effect, while Life Stream Dragon is out, the damage is Zero!"

"Oh man" Ten-Ten muttered.

"Next" Uncle Rua began "I'll throw one card face down, turn end."

"I'm up then" Ten-Ten began "I draw!"

She drew a card.

"First I'll activate the Spell Card Pot of Greed" Ten-Ten announced "It allows me to draw two more cards."

She drew two more cards.

"Next" Ten-Ten began "I'll activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Reload!"

She placed the Quick-Play Spell Card "Now I get to put all the cards in my hand then shuffle the deck, then draw the same number of cards that put in the deck."

So she drew four new cards then sighed, there was a way for her defeat Uncle Rua.

"Good" Ten-Ten said she looked up "Alright now I'll start by summoning my Lord of D"

Lord of D appeared on the field (ATK: 1200, DEF: 1100)

"Next" Ten-Ten began "I'll activate the Spell Card, Flute of Summoning Dragon!"

Flute of Summoning Dragon appeared in the Lord of D's hands "Now, I get to Special Summon two Dragon type monsters regardless of level!" Ten-Ten announced then she picked the cards.

"Now I'll Special Summon my Magna Drago Tuner Monster and my Prime Material Dragon!" Ten-Ten announced.

Prime Material Dragon and a red dragon known as Magna Drago appeared on the field (ATK: 2400, DEF 2000) (ATK: 1400, DEF: 600)

"And now" Ten-Ten began "I'm tuning my Level two Magna Drago with my Level Six Prime Material Dragon."

The two monsters began to form together with Magna Dragon formed two rings while Prime Material Dragon went right threw it as Ten-Ten chanted out " For people to survive wars they must rely on both the Sun and the Moon to defend the world...Shine...Synchro Summon...Light End Dragon!

A white Dragon appeared on the field (ATK: 2600, DEF: 2100)

"What do you plan to do with that?" Uncle Rua asked "In case you have forgotten I have Four Thousand Life Points!"

"That maybe the case" Ten-Ten admitted "But I have one more card to play, and this is it, it's the Spell Card Monster Reborn! To bring back, my Prime Material Dragon!"

She played the Spell Card and Prime Material Dragon reappeared on the field (ATK: 2400, DEF: 2000)

Uncle Rua groaned "What else do you have? I'll still survive!"

"Oh" Ten-Ten said "My Dragon's are plenty strong enough."

"How?" Rua demanded.

"Simple" Ten-Ten said "I'll attack with Light End Dragon first!"

"You must be crazy!" Uncle Rua shouted "My Life Stream Dragon's stronger than her!"

"Not for long" Ten-Ten told him "Because when she attacks, I can have her lose five hundred of her Attack point permanently in order for her to decrease your monster's attack by fifteen hundred points!"

"What?" Uncle Rua asked as he noticed the changes. (2600-2100) (2900-1400)

"Oh-no!" Uncle Rua shouted in alarm he looked down at his set card and I heard his thoughts I thought I was in the game with the Quick-Play Spell Card Battle Tuning, that won't save me!

He watched as Light End Dragon attack his monster with a powerful burst of light but he shouted "You wont' beat me so easily! I activate Life Stream Dragon's special ability, buy removing from my Graveyard one Equip Spell Card he can't be destroyed in battle or by a Card effect!"

"Good job" Ten-Ten told him "But you're still going to take the damage."

Just as if Life Stream Dragon was Power Tool Dragon, the light attack hit and after engulfing Light Stream Dragon, Uncle Rua's Life Points went down and he was now gasping for breathe and he was struggling to regain his eye site. (Uncle Rua's Life Points: 3300)

"Now" Ten-Ten began "I'll attack with Prime Material Dragon!"

Prime Material Dragon attacked Life Stream Dragon but this time Uncle Rua didn't have any Equip Spell Cards to remove from his Graveyard, so this time when Prime Material Dragon attacked, it destroyed his Synchro Monster and when it did I was it's spirit gliding over towards Ten-Ten and striking her in her Mark of the Dragon. She groaned in pain a bit but Uncle Rua was now gasping for breathe again as shrapnel from his destroyed monster caught him in his body causing him to bleed and go rolling onto the ground. (Uncle Rua's Life Points: 2300)

"And now" Ten-Ten paused looking sad at Uncle Rua "But now it's time to free you Rua! Horus Black Flame Dragon LV8 end this!"

Horus Black Flame Dragon LV8 attacked Uncle Rua directly. He was screaming in agonizing pain as his Life Points went down to zero.

(Uncle Rua's Life Points: 0)

All of which Ten-Ten weakly limped over to Uncle Rua's form and with my nod of approval activated her Birthmark. She was groaning in pain as the mark left her a joined Uncle Rua's birthmark. She noticed the spirit of Life Stream Dragon nodding towards her as it spoke out to her "You have done it, you have freed the Signer Rua from Orochimaru's control. I congratulate you."

Ten-Ten nodded in response as it vanished into Uncle Rua's deck once again then Ten-Ten collapsed.

"Ten-Ten!" I shouted.

She was grasping her chest as Haku came closer to her "Man I knew what I was up against when damage was real but I got to hand it too you it still hurts."

"Hold still" Haku told her "I can get your bleeding to stop and even begin to heal that wound."

"Alright" Ten-Ten said.

As Haku was healing Ten-Ten with his Water Bending abilities, Uncle Rua began to stir. The first thing he saw was Ten-Ten and Haku with Ten-Ten having a hole in her chest and Haku doing his best to heal her with his Water Bending.

"N-N-N-N-Ninjas!" Uncle Rua shouted.

"It's okay" he heard another female voice speak up.

He turned to see a girl around my age with white eyes "Uh forgive me but are you blind?" Uncle Rua asked Hinabi.

"No" Hinabi said "I was born this way."

It was then he saw me looking over at Ten-Ten with a worried look and once her saw me he quickly jumped onto his feet and unexpectedly hugged me.

"Uncle?" I asked.

"Yeah it's me" Uncle Rua said he looked around confused "Why am I in a forest? Where's Ruka, Jack, Crow, and your parents?"

He turned to Ten-Ten "What happened to you?"

He then saw Haku and smiled "Yo how's it doing Haku?"

Haku smiled at Rua "Nice to see you too Rua."

"I can see you've gotten better at Water Bending so care to tell me what happened to your friend?"

"You and I dueled each other" Ten-Ten answered weakly.

"No way!" Rua shouted "I would never do that to a girl like you even if it was just a game."

"You weren't yourself" I told him.

He looked at me strangely as Haku finished healing Ten-Ten as best as he could as he sighed "I've never been a good medical ninja...Now I wish we hadn't left the Leaf Village without a medic ninja.

We got Uncle Rua to sit down and it was Shikamaru along with Naruto whom explained the situation with me nearly crying.

"So you're saying I was killed?" Rua asked which I nodded "Then after all this time we've been brought back to life so Orochimaru can summon the Crimson Dragon in order to..."

"That's right" Naruto said "Destroy the Leaf Village."

Uncle Rua turned to me "Kasumi...That must've been hard on you knowing your mother and father died."

I nodded "It was...Now I must do what I can to stop the other Signers."

"I'll go Duel Ruka" Uncle Rua said.

"I don't think so" Shikamaru told him.

"Why not she's my sister?" Uncle Rua said.

"I know your protective of her" I told him "But sadly the Temporary Signers must be the ones that Duel against the true Signers...As you can see Ten-Ten lost hers so she can save you."

Uncle Rua turned to Ten-Ten "You didn't have to do that."

"If it's one thing we've learned from Lady Kasumi" Ten-Ten said to Uncle Rua "Is that she'll do whatever it takes to save her friends, and sense she's like that I myself will help her. Besides I am registered as one of her bodyguards you know."

Uncle Rua then caught sight of my leg "I hate to ask this but what happened to your leg?"

"I was struck by lighting" I told him "Fighting against Prince Zuko and Princess Azula of the Fire Nation."

"You didn't Duel them?" Uncle Rua asked me.

"I'm pretty sure I could've defeated them easily" I admitted "But they didn't bring their Duel Disks and they were wanting to capture me."

"Well we'll rest up" Haku advised "For the night, Ten-Ten you stay here with Rua, protect him at all cost."

"Alright" Ten-Ten said "But hey I want to see the rest of these Duels."

"Right now" Rua said to her understanding Haku's advise "You are injured thanks to me, it's best we wait till a medic ninja arrives or until even I deem it's okay for you to walk again...Don't worry we'll catch up to them."

"Well okay" Ten-Ten said.

So for the first night we took a rest but no one would get any sleep as war still raged on.
