I own nothing.
Pairings are: Naruto x Serenity W. x Ishizu I. x? x?

Chapter 3 part 2: Arrival to Duelist Kingdom & Yugi vs. Weevil
Seething at the fact that he was played by this upstart duelist Weevil glared at Yugi for destroying his army of insect monsters. Weevil growled at his now empty field.
"Ha! Great play, Yugi!" Joey cheered for his friend.
'Great play indeed' thought Naruto as he smirked at Yugi's triumph against the insect duelist.
"You wiped out Weevil's bug army in one move!" cheered Tristan.
"All right! You've got him on the ropes!" cheered Tea.
"Ha ha ha! Yeah, right!" said a familiar voice that got the groups attention and Naruto's who seethed.
"Huh?" asked Tea.
"Mai" said Joey getting both Tristan and Tea's attention.
"You know her?" asked Tristan.
"Not really, we noticed her back on the boat, then Naruto told us who she was and said to stay away from her" said Joey causing Mai to flinch a bit.
"Really Naruto said that… I wonder why?" asked Tristan.
"Don't know, all I know is that he used to date her, but they broke up and from the tone of his voice… it must've been bad" said Joey.
Mai felt hurt that the person she use to date would still such a grudge against her 'Naruto… do you still hate me that much' she thought as she tried to keep up her attitude.
"You losers don't seem to realize who your little pal is up against. Weevil's regional champion, He's got moves your shrimp couldn't dream of" Mai said trying to forget what the group said.
This pissed off Tea as he love interest was being insulted, however before she could retort, a figure leaped from the trees and landed in front of them "Mai insult my brother again and your next opponent will be me" the figure said revealing himself to be Naruto U. Moto.
"Naruto!" Joey, Tristian and Tea said in unison.
"Hey guys I see my little brother has the upper hand, but he shouldn't get too cocky… Weevil may have a few surprises left" Naruto said as he turned to see his brother duel.
The other did the same thing ignoring Mai.
"You may've flattened my army of bugs, Yugi, but you haven't won. I still have plenty tricks up my sleeve" said Weevil.
"You've done an awful lot of buzzing throughout this whole duel, Weevil, but I'm still here waiting for the sting" Yugi said with a confident smirk.
"Since you're new to the whole dueling tournament thing, I'll try to make this simple for you" Weevil said seethed.
"I'm gonna wipe that goofy grin from your face" he said plotting his next move.
"Now let's see which lucky bug gets to take the first bite" Weevil said as he drew his next card.
"Hehehe. Oh! But this little bug won't stand a chance against all your ferocious monsters. Oh well I'll play it in defense mode" he said with a mock defeated tone while chuckling in his mind.
"Hmm. That would've been a nice bluff, but I still haven't forgotten the trap card you played" Yugi said as he remember Weevil playing the trap card a few turns ago.
'He didn't trap me then, and he's not gonna trap me now. Weevil's trap card will activate as soon as I call an attack, and it'll destroy all the monsters I have on the field. But what if I get my monsters off the field first and then destroy Weevil's trap? That's it!' Yugi thought.
"I'll spring your trap, Weevil. But first… the Monster Recovery Card; It allows me to call back all the creatures I have on the field. Monsters return to your cards!" Yugi said recovering all his monsters. Weevil seethed at this new course of action.
"Now your trap has nothing to snare, and once my monsters are all safely back in my deck, the recovery card also lets me draw a new hand" Yugi said as he shuffled his deck.
"Now all I have to do is sacrifice one of my weaker monsters and your trap is sprung. Kuriboh, Attack!" Yugi commanded.
"Yeah!" Weevil yelled as he was forced to activate his card.
"Trap cards only work if they catch you by surprise. Next time don't give your plan away" Yugi said.
1350 – 300 = 1050 Yugi
"Hee hee hee hee. Ha ha ha ha ha!" Weevil laughed.
"I didn't! I don't give a bee's behind about that stupid trap card!" Weevil announced shocking Yugi.
"I tricked you into recalling your monsters so you wouldn't attack this!" he said as he flipped the monster revealing it to be Larvae Moth this made Naruto wide eye because for Weevil to have summoned that can only mean trouble for Yugi.
'It's just a simple little Larvae Moth. That tiny creature can't be much of a threat. What is Weevil up to now?' Yugi thought.
'Yugi brace yourself because I know what comes next and I hope that you pull through' Naruto thought as he worried for his brothers outcome.
"Hee hee hee hee hee. Sure, he's just a little slug now, But the Cocoon of Evolution (0/2000) will change all that." He said.
"What!?" said a now surprised Yugi.
"Isn't it beautiful" he said as his Larvae Moth was incased by the cocoon.
"Eww" Yugi said in disgust as he watched the worm incased in the cocoon.
Meanwhile down below everyone looked on with disgust "eww. That's just gross" Tea said.
"Weevil's bug is sealing itself in a cocoon" Joey said.
"And here I thought that kid couldn't get any more creepy" Naruto said as his right eye brow twitched a bit.
'I told those chumps that Weevil would turn this duel around…. If it were Naruto he was dueling, then I wouldn't doubt Naruto's ability to win, but his brother doesn't have the same skill set as Naruto' Mai thought.
"Behold my Cocoon of Evolution! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Within that cocoon sits my tiny little Larvae Moth, and over the next 5 turns he will undergo a startling transformation… from harmless caterpillar to unstoppable Great Moth" Weevil said.
"Then I'll crack your cocoon before that happens" Yugi stated.
"Easier said than done, Yugi, for my Cocoon of Evolution gets a field power bonus from the wilderness around us, increasing its defense points. It'll be so strong; you won't be able to scratch its surface! Just 5 more turns, Yugi. In 5 turns my Great Moth will fully evolve and finish you off" Weevil stated.
Cocoon of Evolution ATK: 0/ DEF 2000+600= 2600
'If what Weevils says is true, I'd better act fast that thing is getting bigger and stronger with each passing turn' Yugi thought now realizing how much trouble he's in.
'I have to figure a way to break open that cocoon now. I can't let that moth get to its fifth stage of evolution. Do I have a card that's strong enough to stop it?' Yugi thought as he looked at his hand.
"Hmm… Gaia, The Fierce Knight (2300/2100)" Yugi said summoning an armoured horseman with two lances and rode an armoured purple stallion.
'Yugi don't!' Naruto yelled in his mind.
"Shatter that cocoon!" Yugi ordered his knight. When the knight attacked the cocoon it did nothing.
"The field power bonus makes it too strong" Joey said.
Naruto said nothing, but shake his head in disappointment because his brother made a rookie mistake, one that he taught Yugi to avoid at all costs, but it seemed that his lessons didn't sink in.
"That's one turn down! Care to try again? Ha ha ha ha ha!" Weevil mocked.
'Weevil's cocoon is gonna be tough to crack, and for each attack that fails, my life points go down' Yugi thought.
YUGI: 1050 – 300= 750
"Yugi made a rookie mistake one that may cost him and if he does it again, then he's finished" Naruto said looking at the match.
"Oh, no" said Tea concerned for Yugi's chances at winning his first tournament duel.
"Hang tough, Yugi. You'll pop that pus bag" said Joey.
"Ha ha ha ha" laughed Mai getting Yugi's friends and Naruto's attention.
"Just what do think you're laughing at?!" asked Tea.
"All that stupid cheerleading you're doing. You make it sound like your Yugi still has a chance" she said mocking Yugi.
Before anyone could say anything, Naruto got in front of Mai and gave her a soul piercing glare with his remaining eye. Mai visible didn't seem fazed, but inside she was terrified. "My brother has more of a chance of winning this duel than you do against me, so congratulations you're officially now on my list of people on this island I want to duel" he said making everyone within earshot fearful of those on that list and hoping it's not them. Naruto then returned to Tristan's side to get away from Mai who was now sweating because from what she had seen and heard was that Naruto was a merciless duelist when angered and the last person who pissed him off that bad was utterly humiliated in front of national tv.
'Crap, me and my big mouth' Mai thought.
*Timeskip* (AN: we all know what happens from here Yugi uses curse of dragon along with Burning Land to destroy the forest, thus giving his Gaia the chance to destroy the cocoon, but the moth evolved enough to survive, Weevil uses Great Moth to destroy Yugi's monsters and by some BS reduced Gaia the dragon champion due to again some more BS and destroyed it, thus leaving Yugi with 50 life points left, so here we are)
Weevil: 555
Yugi: 50
"I activate Swords of Revealing Light! This will stop your monster from attacking for three whole turns" said Yugi as glowing swords appeared surrounding Weevils Great Moth.
"Heh. How desperate of you Yugi. What possible of a three turn stall tactic do for you?" asked Weevil.
"He's right, what do I do?" asked Yugi internally.
"I don't know what to do with any of these cards, they're just a bunch of… pieces. How can I use them to defeat a duelist of Weevils caliber?" asked the young Moto.
"For someone who claims to have faith you're giving up too easily Yugi. Listen, sometimes the very cards we hold, are like a puzzle. You have to pull the different pieces in their proper place" said an apparition of Solomon.
"Like the Millennium Puzzle?" asked Yugi to the spirit of his grandfather?
"Exactly my boy, each piece can build a greater being" he said as he was pulled away from Yugi's mind.
"Grandpa!" Yugi said reaching out to his grandfather, but was too late as the old man was pulled back to his prison.
"Like the pieces of a puzzle, remember" Solomon's words echoed in Yugi's mind.
Pegasus Castle
As Pegasus was watching Yugi's duel with Weevil, he then noticed the card used to hold Solomon Moto's soul was glowing "W-what's going on?" he asked as he unveiled his Millennium eye to see what was going on. He saw the old man's spirit talking to Yugi coaching him on how to win.
"That's enough of a reunion" Pegasus said using his eye to pull Solomon's spirit back into the card. Upon seeing the card, Solomon had a look of hope and determination that his grandchildren will succeed in freeing him.
Back to Yugi
"Puzzle, when did I hear that before…?" Yugi thought. Then it hit him.
"Wait what did grandpa and big bro say" he remembered.
Flashback
"Listen Yugi, in the game of duel monsters there is one unstoppable monster; Exodia the Forbidden One…" Solomon said, but Naruto cut him off as he was ready to leave for Egypt.
"That monster can only be summoned by drawing all 5 very special cards, that is one of the most difficult tasks to ever achieve, hell I've tried in the past, but I always win my duels before ever summoning him" Naruto said.
"Well maybe Yugi will do it after all he's putting the Millennium Puzzle together and if he could solve that monster of a mystery, then I'm sure he can pull it off" said Solomon having faith in his youngest grandson in pulling off the impossible.
Flashback End
"Grrr…. Quit your stalling Yugi just because you have three extra turns to live, does mean you can waste my time" said Weevil pissed that he has to wait three turns to finish Yugi off.
"Keep talking Weevil, all I hear from you is buzz" he said as Yugi drew his next card, he noticed it was a right leg, and then he looked at his hand and saw that he had another leg, left leg and a left arm "Yes just one more card and I'll achieved the impossible, grandpa is counting on me to win".
Weevil then played a monster then ended his turn. Yugi did the same, but it wasn't what he needed, so he ended his turn. Then Weevil drew and played a new monster while smiled because he knew that the spell Yugi used to buy time was about to vanish.
"Heh heh hehe… This duel is as good as mine, face you Yugi you've lost" said an overly confident Weevil as he ended his turn and swords of revealing light then faded.
"Don't listen to him Yugi!" yelled Joey.
"Come on Yugi I know you can do it" said Tea.
"We believe in you" Tristan added.
"Come on little brother, I know you can win, believe in the heart of the cards the same way myself and grandpa believe in the heart of our cards" said Naruto knowing that Yugi can pull a victory.
"Weevil's right my only chance is to draw the final piece of Exodia, but the odds are against me. I don't think I can do this" thought Yugi as he began to doubt himself.
As Yugi went to draw his next card, the deck began to pull away from him as if sensing his doubt "T-The deck it senses my doubt" said a shocked Yugi.
"Don't lose focus Yugi… Don't lose faith…Concentrate" the older persona said to the younger, then he remembered the symbol Tea drew on his hand, then he sees his friends and brother standing around the deck with their marked hand hovering over the deck.
"Yugi we're right here with you" said Tea.
"Yugi you got to believe in yourself" said Tristan.
"You can do it, just kick these Weevil creeps butt" said Joey.
"I have faith in you Yugi, so don't lose faith and believe in the heart of the cards" said Naruto.
"They're right, I have to believe in the cards like my friends and family believes in me" Yugi said to himself as he drew the next card.
"Draw your last pathetic card so that I may squash you like the bug that you are" sneered Weevil confident that he'll win the duel.
"My grandfather's deck has no pathetic cards Weevil, but it does contain the unstoppable Exodia" Yugi said revealing Exodia the Forbidden One. This shocked everyone including Naruto because no one not even him or their grandpa had ever achieved to summon him.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" yelled a very shocked Weevil.
"I've assembled all 5 special cards, all 5 pieces of the puzzle" Yugi said as the pentagram appear and from it came Exodia as it stared down Weevils Great Moth.
"E-Exodia… i-it's not possible no one has ever been able to call him" quivered a very fearful Weevil as he backed away.
"Exodia… Obliterate!" Yugi commanded as the mighty Exodia brought its hands together creating a ball of energy. Then it shot the energy ball at Great Moth destroying it completely and taking the remainder of Weevils life points.
Yugi: 50
Weevil: 0
Yugi: Winner
As everyone was cheering at Yugi's victory, most were shocked that this newbie not only defeated the regional champion, but called forth the impossible to summon Exodia on the final turn of Swords of Revealing Light which meant that the kid had the devils luck, or was just a fluke, but in the end the results of the duel don't lie.
"Way to play Yugi!" yelled Joey.
"I knew you could do it" said Tea.
"You the man Yug!" said Tristan.
"…" Naruto didn't say anything because he knew that there was nothing to be said. He knew that his brother was more than capable of handling things on his own… oh wait he's not alone he has his friends here with him and of course there is himself, but Naruto wasn't planning to stick with this brother. It was harsh, but he needed to let his little brother grow out and become the great duelist his big brother knows he can be.
So, Naruto smiled as he turned to leave as Yugi came down and walked over to Weevil to retrieve his winnings, but he also noticed his brother leaving. He wanted to stop him, but what his brother said before the tournament started still rang true to his very soul. He knew his brother loved him more than anything, but he also knew that Naruto couldn't coddle him especially with their grandfather counting on them, but Naruto had someone else to worry about.
Naruto
As Naruto walked away, the spirits of his monster cards emerged from his deck to keep him company. The Six Samurai monsters and the Blue Eyes White Dragon floated around him communicating with each other and communicating with their master.
"Master…. Are you sure it is wise to leave your younger brother alone?" spoke Shogun Shien expressing his concern for Naruto's younger brother.
"I agree with the red armoured human… shouldn't you be with your brother?" asked the Blue Eyes in a deep, but feminine voice.
"My brother will be fine, he has his friends to protect him and his goal to drive him to reach the top where I'll be waiting" Naruto said in a cryptic manner that the two current boss monsters understood what their master was implying.
"So, you plan to duel against your brother for the chance to battle this Pegasus for your deepest desire" stated Shien understanding his master's thought process.
"Yes" Naruto answered.
"But why?" asked the white dragon.
"To him I'm the greatest challenge he'll ever face, call it a final test to see if he is truly ready to cast his own shadow" he said know full well the Yugi is capable of beating him, but lacked the experience that most duelist on this island possess.
Shien merely nodded understanding his master's way of thinking.
Blue eyes, or Kara as she was called by Naruto was worried for the young Moto, but knew that her master would never leave his brother if he wasn't sure that young Yugi could defend himself, hell before this whole tournament began, Naruto had trained Yugi in Judo and Taekwondo as a means for self-defense, but Yugi preferred to be a passive-aggressive and would only use violence as a last resort when needed.
"I understand you two are worried, but have faith that you be seeing then at Pegasus's castle once they acquire 10 star chips and speaking of star chips… I need to begin the process of weeding out the weak, so it's time to get my game on" the older Moto sibling thought as he raced to his next challenge.
