Chapter 4 The Pendulum Ninja meets the Fusion Feline (Rough Draft Page.)
Naruto was keeping his eyes tightly closed as he is currently having a nightmare. A really bad one since he is also having some beads of sweat on his face and clutching the blanket on his bed that was across the room next to Yuya's bed. A few days he came here Yoko managed to get a bed for Naruto.
The young blond stood before a ruined Konoha. Buildings lay demolished not a single thing remained, only... destruction. The structures around him were nothing more than smouldering ash and rubble. The Hokage monument was reduced to nothing more but an empty mountain the faces of all the past Hokage lay either on the ground shattered or smashed into near by buildings or atop the poor souls unfortunate to have been in their path.
"What happened?" Naruto looked around the village that he once called his home in utter horror laying before him were nothing but a pile of lifeless corpses men, women, children all dead. He searched aimlessly hoping to find at least someone still alive in the village.
What he found was anything but...
"N-no way! This cant be real!" Naruto exclaimed in sheer horror at the sight before him. It was his friends
Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, and Asuma were impaled straight threw their hearts, Choji's stomach had been cut wide open his bowels hanging loose as blood leaked from his lips Shikamaru arms had been severed torn straight from his body like a child pulling off a bugs wings. Ino's eyes and lips had been sown shut knives embedded in her body.
Kiba and Akamaru's heads had been cut off and placed on the others body, while Shino and Kurenai hung from a noose.
Gai and Lee lay on the burnt dead grass their signature green suits ripped and torn evidence the two did not go down without a fight. Lee's legs had been cut clean off while Gai's hands and feet were impaled by was near an eyeless Neji who was off to the side of the fallen green His usual Stoic Hyuga mask was replaced by a face of pure agony as his hands cradled his head. Tenten's the only injury was a giant sword embedded into her stomach and pinning her to the ground as she reached out towards Neji's body.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" Naruto screamed as he dropped to his knees and gripped his head as he became frantic he quickly got up and ran soon found himself in front of the ruins of the Konoha Academy reduced to nothing. He sifted through the rubble, trying to find anything anyone who could have survived. Naruto pushed aside the boulders only to come to the chard corps of Iruka, though his body was reduced to blackened bone he somehow knew it was him, just as he knew the three children were who he had been protecting were Konohamaru, Mogei, and Udon.
"I-Iruka-sensei!" Naruto said tears streaming down his face as he touched the decaying hand of the man he had seen as his father. "It can't, it can't! Nooooooo!" Naruto screamed to the heavens clutching his head in agony.
He got soon got back on his feet and ran as fast as he could as he did he came across the dead bodies of the Ichiraku's mutilated was slumped down against a huge hole in his chest even greater than his own wound from the chidori. Naruto soon came before the Hokage tower, he walked into the building walking bast the wreckage and fallen door weary of the cracked ceiling.
"Naruto..." a voice called at causing the blonds ears to perk up. Naruto turned around and ran to the direction where the voice had come. He soon came to a large hole within the building and ran through the pathway of nearly endless darkness till he came before a large tree. But it wasn't like any he had seen before, it was enormous rivaling the Hokage mountain in size, but what stuck out the most was it was black, pure black from the roots and branches to the very leaves which tripped with a strange black ooz. Naruto felt something hit his head and reached up with his finger to wipe it off. Naruto looked at what strange ink like substance was and gave it a sniff and was taken aback, he may not have had as good a nose as Kiba...but he knew the smell of blood.
"Naruto..." The voice called out to the young jinchuriki once again.
Naruto looked up towards the tree and couldn't believe his eyes or rather wanted not to both Tsunade and Hinata were both inside the tree naked and covered in the ooz.
"Hinata-Chan! Baa-chan!" Naruto quickly ran towards the tree but before he could even reach them something burst from the ooz like a geyser. A pair of crimson red eyes glow as the glared down towards Naruto who glared back.
"Are you the one who did this!" Naruto demanded but got no response. "It doesn't matter let them go right now!"
The creature turned back to it's captives and flashed a bright red light from it's eyes causing Hinata and Tsunade to sink into the ooz.
"NO!" Naruto screamed sitting up dispersing the crimson aura and waking Yuya in alert.
"What's wrong?!" Yuya exclaimed turning to Naruto concerned.
"I just had a horrible nightmare." Naruto assured putting a hand on his forehead.
"It must've been so horrible for you to scream like that." Yuya said and Naruto couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Naruto shook his head. "Sorry for waking you up like that." Naruto apologized.
Yuya waved the apology off. "It's cool. What was your nightmare about?" Yuya asked.
The morning soon came and Naruto and Yuya were soon in school with Yuzu. But the young shinobi could not get the events of last nights nightmare out of his mind, why was he suddenly thinking about his old home, and what was that strange tree and the black ooz. The image of Hinata The image of Hinata and Tsuande sinking into the dark slime flashed through his eyes causing him to clutch his head in pain.
"Naruto are you alright." Yuzu asked with concern breaking Naruto out of his reverie and turned to the girl.
"Yeah i'm fine Yuzu." Naruto said with his classic grin and though it did seem convince Yuzu she could still feel something was wrong with Naruto.
School lasted for 5 hours, at least Sora wasn't around making the day annoying like yesterday. Naruto, Yuzu and Yuya were now walking out of the school with Naruto wearing his normal jacket, happy to have that School jacket off again.
"Yuya! /Naruto! /Yuzu!''. Naruto, Yuzu and Yuya heard Ayu, Tatsuya and Futoshi's voices. They turned to see Ayu, Tatsuya and Futoshi waving at them from the front of the school. Naruto, Yuzu and Yuya waved at them.
Ayu, Tatsuya and Futoshi had excited looks on their faces as they look at Naruto, Yuzu and Yuya.
"Are you guys going to the duel school right now?" Ayu asked with older trio nodding.
"Yay! Dose this mean will get to see Naruto-nisan and Yuya-nisan duel each other!" Tatsuya said excited at the idea of two pendulum users facing each other.
"I get shivers just thinking about!" Futoshi said with a wiggle.
Naruto smiled at the three kids they were so much like Konohamaru and his friends with how much they looked up to Yuya like they did with Naruto. Naruto then saw something strange. On the other side of the street was a black cloaked person with the cloak only showing her nice legs. Naruto narrowed his eyes before turning to his friends.
"You guys go without me." Naruto said walking between the three little kids.
"Where're you going?" Yuya asked.
"There's something I have to do first! I promise I'll be there!" Naruto then jumped from building to building as following the cloaked stranger leaving his friends gobsmacked at his agility.
"Naruto is no ordinary guy is he?" Yuzu asked wide eyed.
"No..no he is not." Yuya replied in equal astonishment.
Naruto soon found himself at a nearby warehouses that overlooked the sea. He looked around for the person, but couldn't find them anywhere. All of a sudden he sensed the same presence behind some crates and turned to them.
'Kurama do you sense her anywhere?" Naruto asked the tailed beast
"Yeah i can sense she's somewhere." Kurama replied before Naruto turned behind him.
"I know you're behind there. You can come out now." Naruto said with a serious face.
"How did you know I was here?" The figure questioned coming out from the crates, the voice apparently sounding female.
"I just took a guess''. Naruto said not telling her about his powers. Though he could not see her face Naruto could tell she was in no mood for games.
"Are you an XYZ user." The cloaked person said Naruto with a serious tone.
Naruto was confused by the girls question but then recalled the destruction of Heartland City. 'Does that mean she's with Academia.' Naruto thought as he narrowed his eyes toward the girl.
'Careful Naruto this girls a hell of alot stronger than your last two opponents.' Kurama said warning his host.
Naruto nodded. The girl glared at Naruto she did not like being ignored. "Answer me!" she yelled in a more demanding tone.
"And what if i am?" Naruto said with a smirk.
The cloaked person then revelled their left arm that had a shield shape Duel disk. "Then I challenge you to a duel''. The girl said as she activated her sword shape duel blade.
"I don't feel comfortable dueling if my opponent is hiding their face." Naruto said. The girl removed her hood as she was told. She had dark purple hair tied into a ponytail with a large yellow ribbon, and green eyes. She also has two light blue bangs that fall to either side of her face. What shocked Naruto the most is what her face looks like. "Yuzu?!" Naruto said with shock
The blue haired girl gave him a confused look "Yuzu? My name isn't Yuzu it's Selena." the girl now know as Selean said.
'Another girl with the same face as Hinata and Yuzu.' Naruto thought staring at Selena intently unlike Hinata and Yuzu Selena had much tougher and serious look in her eyes than the gentle and kind one he had seen in Hinata and Yuzu.
"Judging by that duel disk you must be from the fusion dimension." Naruto said surprising Selena.
"If you know that, then you must be an Xyz user." Selena said with s smirk. 'Final this is my chance to prove myself to the professor.'
Well, well. I have finally found you miss Slifer Slacker. And your hanging around another ruffian. A voice spoke out making Naruto and Serena drop their stances and Duel Disks. Stepping into the was a man who wore a blue overcoat-like uniform with golden trimmings and a ruffled pink collar, shoulders, upper chest, and sleeves. He had blond hair tied in a long ponytail with crescent moon earrings and had purple lipstick.
"She a friend of yours?"Naruto questioned causing the the figure to stumble.
"I'M A MAN!" The man exclaimed in anger as a large tic mark formed on his head before turning to Selena.
"The Professor is losing his patience young lady and sent me to drag you back." The man said.
"Not yet, I still got to prove myself! Selena yelled. I'm not going until he finally acknowledges my strength!"
"Why must you be so difficult?" The man sighed "Oh well guess I'll have to take you back by force." The man said as he walked closer to Selena putting his arms out and glaring at the older blond.
"Back off Fukusōtōsaku-sha! (Transvestite)" Naruto said causing Crowler to become red with anger while the girl had to cover her mouth to stifle her laughter.
"Why you insolent little brat! No one insults me! Do you know who I am!?" The man yelled.
Naruto shrugged his shoulders. "Um a Fukusōtōsaku-sha?" Naruto said again enraging the man even more while the girl burst out laughing.
The man growled holding up his duel disk up to Naruto with a twisted grin. "Let's see if you think this is funny! You miserable rat!" The man laughed as his duel disk released a bright flash of purple light on Naruto.
"No!" Selena said with shock. She couldn't believe the vice-chancellor would go to such extremes over something as little as being teased.
When the light finally died down the Vice-Chancellor lowered his duel disk with a triumphant grin. "That will show you what happens to those who dare to insult the great Vice-Chancellor of Academia." Crowler tauted only for his eyes to widened to utter disbelief along with Selena.
Naruto stood where he was completely unaffected by the light, Naruto looked over himself for any signs of injury but there wasn't anything.
"Um, what was that suppose to do?" Naruto asked while Crowler was taken aback.
How can this be?!" Crowler exclaimed before checking over his duel disk. "A Malfunction? No, it can't be! There is nothing wrong with the Duel Disk, The Professor personally designed them without flaw. Selena were also equally confused why the boy wasn't carded.
"You…who are you?! What are you?!" Crowler demanded.
"Naruto gave a proud grin before pointing to himself. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki! Proud Genin Konoha, and student of You Show Duel School! And more importantly the guys who gonna kick you clown ass!" Naruto declared.
Selena suddenly felt a strange sensation within her and clutched her chest. What was it. What was this strange feeling that had suddenly come over her. She looked over to Naruto and she couldn't help but feel this strange presences around him, it felt warm, peaceful and safe. She had never felt like this before.
'Who is this boy?" Selena though curiously.
Crowler was looking at the boy the same way but not for the same reason as Selena but more about the fact that he hadn't been carded. The Professor and Doktor had developed the carding system and it had worked flawlessly. But here was this boy who somehow wasn't effected by it, he secretly reached into his pocket and pressed a putton on a small device he had in it.
Beginning Scanning Process.
"Very well than, if carding you didn't work." Crowler said activating his duel disk. "Then I guess I'll have to crush you in a duel!"
Naruto held up his arm and as his duel disk materialized on his arm the gem shining brightly as he took his stance against his opponent. Both Selena and Crowler looked at the boys duel disk in shock.
"Alright then Fukusōtōsaku-sha! Let's Duel!" Naruto shouted as Crowler grit his teeth in anger.
Naruto: 4000
Crowler: 4000
"I shall take the first turn!" Crowler declares as he draws his card. "First oi activate the Spell card, Magnet Circle Lv2. Thanks to this I'm able to summon a level 2 or lower machine type monster from my hand. I summon Ancient Gear(100/100), and thanks to its ability I can special summon another." Crowler said as two small machines comprised of gears and cogs appeared on the field.
"He special summoned two low level monsters. He must be planing to summon I high level monster." Naruto whispered looking at Crowler who had an arrogant smirk.
"Now I'll sacrifice both my Ancient Gears to summon my Ancient Gear Golem(3000/3000)." Both Crowlers monsters were soon engulfed in a pillar of light before they were replaced by a massive giant gladiator like machine.
Selena gasped. "There it is the Legendary rare card." Selena had heard much a lot about this card and how only duel academies top students were allowed to posses it.
"I end my turn." Crowler declared.
"Is that all?" Naruto asked confusing Crowler.
"What do you mean by that?" Crowler asked.
"All you did was bring out some rusty pile of scrap metal." Naruto said as Crowler fumed with rage while Selena looked at Naruto like he was crazy.
"Oh well." Naruto said before drawing his card and smiled. "First I activate the Spell card, Pendulum Call, now by discarding one card from my hand I'm able to add two Pendulum cards to my hand." Naruto said as he slots one card into his gauntlet before two cards appeared in his hand.
"I set the Scale with Scale 1 Dragonpulse Magician and Dragonpit Magician!" Naruto said as he set the two cards on his duel disk the word PENDULUM flashing across the blade. Two pillars to transparent light appeared with Dragonpulse on the left and Dragonpit on the right as a giant version of Naruto's necklace swung back and forth.
"What!? What is this!? There shouldn't be this kind of summoning method in standard!" Crowler said as he watched on.
"I'm now able to summon monsters from level 2 to level 7 simultaneously!" Naruto said as his necklace shined brightly.
"Swing Pendulum! Swing towards the path that leads to destiny!" Naruto chanted as the necklace swung back and forth. "Pendulum Summon! Come and join my side my monsters" Naruto yelled raising his hand as a portal opened in the sky and three lights flew out from the portal.
"Come to my side my faithful partner! Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon(2500/2000)!" Naruto said as his faithful dragon appeared by his side letting out a mighty roar.
"Faithful mighty mage with dual colored eyes, Iris Magician(1500/1000)." The young spellcasters swung his sword as he stood ready for battle.
"Sorceress of the sky swoop down you foes with blinding speed White Wing Magician (1600/1400)
"He summoned three monsters at once, and one of them is a level 7!" Serena gasped.
"That's not possible!" Crowler exct with shock.
"I activate Dragonpulse Magician's ability! If I discard a Pendulum monster from my hand, then I'm able to destroy one of my opponents monsters!" Naruto declared as he slotted Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon to the graveyard.
Dragonpulse held up his bow creating as he gathered energy from the earth around him forming and arrow before launching it to the ground creating a large fissure in the earth. Crowler looked on in horror as his ace monster fell down the crack before shattering.
"MY PRECIOUS GOLEM!" Crowler screamed in terror.
"Odd-Eyes, Iris Magician, Attack Fukusōtōsaku-sha directly!" Naruto declared as his three monsters struck the clown man directly with their respective attacks sending Crowler crashing into a nearby crate.
The Vice-Chancellor was on the ground with swirls in eyes laying on the ground defeated. Unknown to Naruto and Selena standing on top of the warehouse was a young man their he had blue hair sectioned in three layers, his grey eyes positioned between the three bangs closest to his face, he wore a black overcoat with white trimmings and sharp edges with matching pants and shoes. He looked down at Naruto with much interest especially at the dragon he had summoned.
"Naruto Uzumaki. Quite an interesting guy." The boy said as a small smirk appeared on his face.
"I don't believe it he defeated the Vice-Chancellor in one turn." Selena said with disbelief at how easily Academia's top instructor had been defeated.
Crowler struggled to rise up glaring at Naruto before pressing a button on his duel disk.
"This isn't over whisker boy.." Crowler vowed as he vanished.
"Alright!" Naruto cheered jumping into the air with his fist raised in victory.
"Hold it!" Selena said as she stepped forward with her duel disk raised.
"Oh yeah,i forgot about you." Naruto said raising his own duel disk ready to fight again.
"I'm impressed that you managed to defeat the Vice-Chancellor, but don't let that go to your head I will not fail as he did. And once I've defeated you the professor will finally acknowledge my skills and then I can help with our palms to unify the Four Dimensions." Selena said while Naruto glared at her.
Suddenly Selena's Duel Disk glowed bright alerting Serena forcing her to back away from Naruo "Oh no, not now!"
"What' happening!" Naruot exclaimed.
"I'm being forced back by the Professor! I don't want to go yet!" She cried.
"Where did she go?" Naruto mumbled in shock.
(Draft End.)
Well there you have it I know it does seem rushed and I would agree as I'm actually trying to speed things along. Mostly I have plans for after Arc-V and some new villains to add in. Also can anyone guess the identity of the boy watching Naruto I bet you will all be surprised if you figure out please leave it in a review or P.M me.
