Hello everyone I'm sorry it's taking me so long to update this story, I've just been having a hard time coming up with some new ideas, and especially OC Pendulum Cards for Naruto, Yuzu, and Gongenzaka to use in future duels. I've also been looking over my previous chapters and see I've made alot or errors. When I write the chapters I'm mostly driven by my impulses and I just write what I think up, and I want to make this story the best I can make it. Also I've recently come up with a newer idea for Na-Ru-To Arc-V which will follow the original storyline of Naruto The Supreme King but with some new additions. But I'll add that at the end of the chapter.
Also I've put up a poll deciding in which Naruto characters I should have revived and brought into the story with the top 3 characters being added in.
So far the choices are
Kushina Uzumaki/Deck choices: Heroes/Red Dragon Archfiend
Haku Yuki-Male: Ice Barrier/Custom made deck
Zabuza: Shark/Six Samurai
Jiraya: Magician/Junk Deck
Minato: Dark Magician
Also I've decided to add some new girls to the harem so as it stands now
Naruto Harem
Naruto world: Hinata, Satsuki (female Sasuke-you'll see how this happens soon)
Fusion: Selina, Alexis
Synchro: Luna (older)
Xyz: Rio
Potential additions: Rin, Sayaka, Matsumi, Anna (Zexal), Shizuka, Amaru, Tenten, Blair.

It was nighttime in Miami City, and everyone was peacefully asleep. At the Sakaki residence Yuya and Naruto were both innocently slumbering away after a long day of training, Yuya had been making great progress in his training under Naruto who he found out was a rather 'difficult' task master. The sleeping entertainment duelist shivered as he recalled his training under Naruto.
.
.
"Come on Yuya, you can dodge better than that!" Naruto yelled as he flung several kunai at Yuya who was struggling to maintain his balance atop a spiked tip of a stone sweating running down his face with a look of fear in his eyes.
"Naruto your insane!" Yuya screamed with horror as he narrowly avoided another kunai.
Naruto simply rolled his eyes. "Ha! You should have seen the crazy bastards I had to deal with." Naruto laughed as he began throwing several more kunai at his screaming friend/student.
.
.
"Ah, now doesn't it feel good to rest up after a long hike." Naruto said taking a sip of his soda. He looked behind him to see a pale faced dehydrated Yuya who's anime ghost soul was leaking from his mouth wanting to ascend to the afterlife to escape this torture.
.
.
(Flashback: Early Today)
"996, 997,998,999,1000!" Yuya groaned as he finished his set of push-ups.
"Nice work Yuya." Naruto said clapping his hands before walking up to his friend and placing a heavy boulder onto his back forcing Yuya down groaning in pain.
"Now do double that amount with this weight." Naruto said smiling as he crossed his arms.
"Wwwhhhhyyyy!" Yuya cried out in agony crying anime tears.
.
.
Both Naruto and Yuya slammed their fists into a nearby tree, their bandages starting to turn red both bitting their teeth hard as they fought against the pain.
(Flashback end.)
.
.
It had been harsh training but in the end Yuya found he had become far more agile and had gotten stronger as well, he even was able to endure Gongenzaka's monstrous bear hugs.
Naruto also had his own reasons for putting Yuya through this training, he knew eventually they couldn't waste to much time taking opponents on in duels and the need for physical force would eventually need to be taken. Naruto regretted having to eventually make Yuya go against his gentle nature but they would soon have to face a dangerous threat. And not every battle could be solved through a card game, especially from what he had seen from the destruction of Heartland city.
As they two friends snoared away a mass of darkness began to form arising from it was a young man dressed in a tattered black cloak. He looked around the room until his eyes fell on Naruto's black deck case containing his Xyz deck. He walked up up towards the desk as he held up his hand causing several cards to fly out from the case each one bearing a symbol resembling a Number, they were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 13, 31, 35, 43, 70, 77, 84, 96, and 93. He took the Numbers from 1 through 4 while a black miasma seeped out from the reaming 10 causing them to turn completely blank as they essence fell into the mans hand causing him to grin. He took one last glance over at the slumbering blond as he prepared to take his leave.
"Soon Naruto, we'll have our reunion very soon." He vowed as he walked through the vortex.
.
.
The portal reopened within a dark cave, the cloaked figure removed his hood revealing Menma Uzumaki, the elder of the Uzumaki twins held up a blank card which soon bore the image of a dark creature with the Numbers 96 emblazoned upon it. Menma sat atop his stone throne as he began to pour a small amount of chakra and darkness into the card, the soon hovered into the air gathering vast amounts of darkness into it slowly a creature began to take on form. Menma looked on with a smirk leaning into his knuckles as he chuckled standing before him was a being resembling a being of astral world only its body was pitch black with green and red markings covering its body.
"Where...where am I?" 96 questioned as he gazed upon his fully restored body.
"Greetings to you Number 96." Menma said catching the dark Numbers attention.
"Who are you? Are you the one responsible for reviving me?" 96 questioned.
"Yes, my name is Menma Uzumaki, and I have need your services. If you succeed this new life you haven been granted will be everlasting." Menma said.
96 observed the young man in front of him, he was not like the other humans he had encountered, nor was he like Vector, he could sense a dark and monstrous power dwelling within this boy as he could seen crimson blackish aura surrounding him he could have sworn he saw a pair of eyes glaring down at him.
"Very well then what is it you need of me?" 96 asked cupping his chin. Menma waved his hand conjuring an image of Naruto. "Who is this young man, he looks identical to you, a family member perhaps?"
"This is my brother Naruto Uzumaki, I want you to kill him." Menma stated.
"Is that all you need for me to do a simple task." 96 chuckled seeing this boy would be no threat.
"Do not take him lightly, he is very strong." Menma stated as he narrowed his eyes not liking the show of disrespect towards his twin. "You should also be aware he is the new inheriter of the Number cards." He said causing 96's eyes to widen with disbelief.
"This boy has the Number Cards!?" 96 exclaimed.
"That he does, if you were to defeat him the power of the Numbers will be yours to command." Menma stated earning a smile from 96.
"Are you sure it wise to tell me this? I could very well use this power against you." 96 said recalling his previous attempts to destroy the three worlds.
"Do as you wish, if you seek to destroy this world I want give a damn." Menma replied.
96 was stunned by how calm Menma was, he could wipe out all dimensions in existence and he wouldn't even care. He could not help but sense the ominous air surrounding this boy a sense of malice he had not felt since his creator Don Thousand.
Menma reached into his pocket and tossed five cards to 96. "These cards are..." 96 uttered with shock.
"Yes, the first five Number cards to ever exists in this world use them however you see fit." Menma said
"Very well then, I will carry out this task for you." 96 said taking a small bow. Menma looked over his shoulder as Maria walked out handing 96 a purple orb. "What is this?"
"That orb contains all the knowledge we have on Naruto, use it however you wish to ensure Naruto's destruction." Menma said with a smirk.
96 chuckled. "Very well, I will make sure not to disappoint you." 96 said as he vanished with a vortex of darkness.
"Are you sure he can be...who am I kidding you know what your doing." Maria said with a giggle as she looked over at Menma.
"Yes I do, and if Naruto does fail. Well then..." Menma held out his hand as a black orb resembling the rasengan formed in his hand before he shot it forward creating a massive hole in the stone walls. " I'll just crush that worthless shadow myself. I only need him to give me the necessary energy I need. " Menma said as he turned over to four cards contained with a purple orb of darkness. "Once I've gained enough power to undo the seal...the real war will begin."
.
.
Yuya smiled, he then placed his deck into his deck box before he left his room and grabbed the pole and slide down it with a smile on his face,
"Alright, first of all I need a good breakfast! Mom's pancakes here I come!" Yuya said with a grin.
"Hey wait up!" Naruto shouted following behind his friend.
.
.
"I feel like eating 30 pancakes in order to get the energy to get my 30th win…" Yuya said with excitement but it soon turned to shock as he and Naruto walked into the kitchen.
"Uh, were are Yoko-san and Sora?" Naruto said looking around to find the kitchen was empty, the table that was empty of food as well.
They then looked around the house but couldn't find them anywhere in the house, they couldn't even find Yoko's pets.
Yuya sat down on the couch, "Alright this is weird, where could all of them have gone?" Yuya said.
"Maybe she went out for groceries and Sora went along to score some snakes." Naruto said with a shrug.
Yuya said ad he sighed, "Well I was supposed to meet Nico at the You Show Duel School, so we should get going". Yuya said as they got up and walked out through the door.
.
.
Naruto and Yuya was eating sandwiches as the stood inside
the elevator of You Show. The younger boy sighed "Seriously, today is the important day that will decide if her son will be able to take his first step to becoming a pro and mom didn't even make breakfast so I would have plenty of energy for my duel today." Yuya said with a sad look on his face.
Naruto frowned seeing the disappointment on his friends face, how could Yoko-san just up and leave on such an important day for Yuya. It didn't make sense.
Yuya's eyes then widened in shock as they found the school was empty as well. "Seriously? Where is everyone!?" Naruto exclaimed
"Even the Principal is… how come Yuzu isn't here to cheer me on?" Yuya said with a hurt expression especially from Yuzu not being here as well.
Yuya looked around the duel school, "Alright time to come out now, Ayu, Futoshi and Tatsuya, I know you must be hiding to surprise me and I'm surprised alright so please come out". He called out however no one appeared. "How could it be that there is no one at home or at the duel school? Just what's going on here?"
"I've got no idea man, this is unlike them." Naruto said scratching his chin.
"Indeed, I wonder what could have happened?" The boys turned around and saw Nico standing by the elevator with a smile on his face,
"Nico!"
Nico bowed at Yuya, "At your service! Good morning Yuya and you as well Naruto Uzumaki it is an honor to finally meet you." Nico said offering a hand to Naruto.
"Nice to meet you too, thanks for helping Yuya qualify for this championship." Naruto said
"Oh it was nothing." Nico waved offed "Speaking of which did you get a good night sleep for your duel today?"
"Well yeah but more importantly, where is everyone else?" Yuya replied.
"Is it bothering you?" Nico asked
Yuya narrowed his eyes "Of course it is! Where is everyone?" Yuya questioned.
Nico ignored his question however and looked at his watch with a smile, "Oh my, look at the time! We should get going or you will be late for your duel!" Nico then grabbed Yuya and Naruto's wrists, "Now let's go!"
.
.
The trio were walking along the road towards the destination of Yuya's final match.
.
.
"Thanks for agreeing to come along with me Naruto." Yuya said with a smile.
"Hey I wouldn't miss this for anything. This your final match to qualify for the tournament. And I just know your gonna ace it." Naruto said patting Yuya's back.
"Thanks, I couldn't have gotten this far in the tournament without you helping me. You, Nico, my mom, the Principe, Sora, Ayu, Futoshi, and Takeshi, Gongenzaka and most of all..." Yuya was about to finish when Naruto cut him off.
"Yuzu~." Naruto said wiggling his eyebrows causing the tomato haired boys cheeks to flush pink. "Just suck it up and ask her out already man, I know you like her, Gong knows you like her, your mom knows you like, heck bet even dad probably knowns. So what's the problem, its obvious that she feels the same way." Naruto said looking over at Yuya who lowered his head doubts in his eyes.
"I...I don't know, Yuzu has always been the most important person in my life. She been their for me since we were babies, when my dad disappeared she would always try and cheer me up." Yuya said with a smile recalling a time Yuzu had helped him through the pain he went through.
.
.
(Flashback: Ten years ago)
Yuya sat alone on a swig his eyes covered by the bangs of his hair as tears ran down his cheek. Everywhere he went people would insult his father, calling him so many insulting names, wimp, chicken and most of all coward. They we're all wrong his father wasn't a coward he was the best duelist in the world, he would never runaway from a duel.
"My dad...my dads not a coward." Yuya said wiping away his tears.
"Yuya!" A voice called out. "Where are you Yuya!?"
Yuya looked up to see Yuzu looking around for him, she soon spotted him and ran over to the swing set.
"Don't listen to what they say Yuya, uncle Yusho isn't a coward he's the best duelist in the whole world." The pink haired girl said hugging the red/green haired boy tight letting Yuya cry into her shoulders.
.
.
"See Yuya you do care about Yuzu more than simply friendship. You need to let her know how you feel. Believe me she feels the same." Naruto said patting his friends shoulders. Yuya looked at his friend and could not help but feel at ease.
.
.
The three of them soon arrived at a familiar dojo, the one owned by the Gongenzaka family.
"Hold on, my fourth opponent is here? Don't tell me that it's…" Yuya said with disbelief.
"What's up Yuya?" Naruto asked.
"You can confirm it for yourself." Nico said as he walked inside of the dojo with Yuya and Naruto following behind. Once they were inside there stood Gongenzaka with a his arms crossed a serious expression on his face.
Naruto could swear for a second he was seeing a image of his good friend Rock Lee standing in front of him right now.
"About time, I was getting tired of waiting for you Yuya!" Gongenzaka stated.
Yuya sighed "Why did you go out of the way to make me duel against Gongenzaka? I mean we have already dueled plenty of times in the past." Yuya said
"That's true I've seen you guys have tons of practice matches." Naruto said.
Nico nodded. "It's true that the two of you have faced each other plenty of times in the past, however you have yet to face him in a serious duel" he said causingYuya's eyes to widened in shock over that Nico knew about that. "And I also know that he's your best friend, also I know that after your father Yusho Sakaki disappeared right before his Championship match, your dear friend Gongenzaka put his own body on the line in order to protect you from the cruel public." Nico stated as with anime tears falling down his eyes.
Naruto recalled Yuya telling him about how Gong had always been there to stand up for him like a protective guardian. He felt a bit jealous of his friends wishing had someone like that when he was growing up, Iruka had always been more of a father figure to him than an older brother and he hadn't crossed baths with the scar nosed Chunin till he was ten years old.
"I was so moved when I heard about the beautiful friendship between you two." Nico said drying his eyes before he placed his hands on Yuya's shoulder "However, even though you two are best friends, a real match is a different matter entirely, even more if you're aiming to become a pro".
Gongenzaka nodded. "He's right Yuya. You and I have fought countless of times in the past, but there was never been any seriousness in any of those matches." Gongenzaka stated before closing his eyes. "I couldn't really fault you for feeling hurt because of your father's sudden disappearance. However I have realized that feeling pity for you only served to make me weaker." He said shocking Yuya .
"Make you… weaker? What do you mean Gongenzaka?" Yuya replied unable to comprehend what his best friend was saying.
Naruto narrowed his eyes at those words, they reminded him greatly of the way Sasuke spoke to him back when he left to go and join Orochimaru.
Gongenzaka looked at him with a serious look in his eyes, "In the third match of the You Show Duel School vs LDS, I wasn't able to win it even though we were tied one for one." Gongenzaka said recalling his previous duel with Yaiba.
Yuya walked towards Gongenzaka, "But you managed to make it a draw. You gave us another chance to win." Yuya said
Gongenzaka shook his head, "The reason I didn't win was because of weakness in my heart. Being unable to break free from my own softness was the reason I couldn't win that duel, which means that I need to push myself even further if I want to purge myself of such a weakness." Gong said clenching his fist tightly.
"And with that in mind, Gongenzaka shockingly went as far as betting his entry into the Junior Youth Championship in this duel".
"W-what are you talking about Nico?"
"It's simple, he won matches until he was just one away from the 60% win record requirement and then he refused any other duel challenges while he waited for you to win enough matches".
"Then that means, both of them are just one duel away from qualifying for the Junior Youth Championship." Naruto concluded.
Nico nodded his head, "That's right Naruto, just one more win, he waited until the two of them were in the same important situation. To put it simple, he set it up so that only the winner of this very duel can enter the Championship." Nico said
"He's got a flare for the dramatic I'll give the boy that." Kurama commented.
"B-but why would he go so far?" Yuya asked wondering why his best friend would go so far. W hy would he risk not being able to qualify for the Junior Youth Championship?
"Because I thought that if I didn't do this much, I wouldn't be able to get a serious match from you." Gong said as Yuya look on with confusion as Gongenzaka shocked who closed his eyes with a smile on his face, "I'm gonna inherit this dojo eventually, so this duel will also be a test in order to hone my steadfast dueling style. He said before pointingYuya, "I'll set aside my pity and defeat you with all I've got because you're my best friend, now prepare yourself Yuya!" Gongenzaka declared while Yuya looked on with a horrified expression. How could Gongenzaka, the man who had always stuck by him say such things.
.
.
(Flashback: 3 years ago)
Eleven year old Yuya was walking through the streets, the kids around him looking at him with distain, and mocking expressions, he could hear them calling him the coward's child, and talked about how his dad ran away from the duel. Yuya gritted his teeth while he had his goggles over his eyes.
Lost in his thoughts Yuya failed to notice the figure in front of him and soon found himself falling to the ground on his butt, he sat there on the ground sad before he felt someone pull up his goggles. He looked up and gasped in shock when he saw a large boy in front of him with white T-shirt with an image of Strong Ishijima on it.
The boy looked at Yuya with a smirk, "I you're gonna fight in your father's place, then I will be fighting for Strong Ishijima! Now then, let's duel weakling." The boy taunted as he held out his hand towards Yuya who gasped in shock again. "What? You don't to fight? Are you gonna run away scared just like your old man did? Jeez, you really are a helpless weakling aren't you?"
Yuya stood up and glared at the boy, he may have been afraid but the wouldn't let anyone else mock his father. But before he could make a move.
"Stop it right now!" A voice cried out and both of them turned to see Gongenzaka run towards them causing the larger boy gritted his teeth.
Gongenzaka stood in front of Yuya and were face to face with the boy that was just as big as himself and spread out his arms to protect Yuya from the bully.
"I, the man Gongenzaka, won't forgive bullying the weak! Have you forgotten the iron rules of our Gongenzaka dojo?" Gong said not at all pleased with hid upperclassmen's actions.
The boy just smiled "You're wrong, I wasn't bullying him, I just asked him for a duel, that's all. We were going to prove who's stronger between Yusho Sakaki and Strong Ishijima for them." The bully replied.
Gongenzaka narrowed his eyes and walked closer to the boy and almost pressed his forehead against the boy's forehead,
"Our dojo didn't teach you our steadfast dueling style for things like this. Those who take part in meaningless fights are excommunicated at once, no matter if you are a senior disciple to me or not, I won't let it slide!" Gong stated with unwavering convection in his dojo's teachings. But more importantly he wasn't about to allow anyone to bully his best friend.
Yuya looked at Gongenzaka, "Gongenzaka, you…" Yuya said with a happy smile at how Gongenzaka defended him and his beliefs in his father.
(Flashback End)
.
.
Yuya and Naruto stood next to Gongenzaka in front of Nico and Gongenzaka's father while Yuya still had that troubled expression on his face.
"Have you not yet steeled your resolve Yuya? Well it is understandable. After all you have to strike down the man that has had your back all of these years. But if you don't do it then you won't be able to participate in the Junior Youth Championship." Nico said "And of course, in order to become a pro, you need the strength to fight alone when you have to Yuya. After all, until now you have been protected and supported by not only Gongenzaka, but also a lot of other people. They have always being cheering you on and the encouragement you got from then gave you the strength to fight."
'So the tomato haired gaki is hesitant to face his friend. That sounds familiar doesn't it?' Kurama said looking down at Naruto who was more focused on the situation at hand.
Nico adjusted his glasses, "However, being a pro means being able to display own skills even as the away team, even if everyone around you is cheering for the enemy instead of you, that's the reason why I had your cheer crew take a leave of absence this time." Nico stated but Yuya still held a look of doubt in his eyes.
"Do it Yuya!" Naruto said shocking his friend and the others.
"Naruto...?" Yuya looked over to his blond friend who gave a hard glare.
"You owe this not only to yourself but also to Gongenzaka. What Nico said is true both in dueling and in life. Some times you've got to do things you do not want to and even have to go up against your friends." Naruto explained knowing from his own experiences as a shinobi.
.
.
Unknown to Naruto and Yuya, his mother, Yuzu, Sora, Shuzo, and the kids were in another room in the dojo watching the events unfold.
Shuzo narrowed his eyes. 'This will be their first serious match against each other, good luck Yuya' Shuzo thought with a serious expression.
"Yuya..." Yuzu uttered with a trouble expression on her face. Gongenzaka had always been like a big brother to Yuya protecting him from bullies. Yet now they were being forced to fight each other.
.
.
"Now then Master Gongenzaka, shall we begin the duel?" Nico asked
Mr Gongenzaka nodded and stood up, "Dueling is to polish one's soul, diligently cultivating each other's character while possessing an immovable spirit no matter the circumstances, that's the path of our Gongenzaka dojo travels on. The two of you shall clash with each other fair and square in this fight, and what I wish for is that you two will polish each other's souls." He stated while his son had a determined expression on his face. Yuya however still had a troubled expression on his face.
Mr Gongenzaka then held out his hand, "And now… action field on! Activating the field spell Cemetery of Swords!"
.
.
The ARC system in the dojo activated and a familiar action field appeared, it was the very same field that Gongenzaka had dueled against Yaiba on when they tried to take over You Show Duel.
Yuya looked around shocked over field his friend had chosen "This is…the field you dueled against Yaiba Toudou on." Yuya said
Gongenzaka nodded his head, "That's right, this is the very same field I fought on in the third match against LDS." Gongenzaka replied.
"But why did they pick this field? Did you choose which field we would battle on?" Yuya asked.
"Yes I did, and you will soon find out why I choose this one, now let's go!" Gongenzaka smirked before he threw out with his arm and activated his Duel Disk.
Yuya nodded activates his own Disk, Naruto stood beside him leaning against a nearby halbard.
Gongenzaka then stared at Yuya, "Duelists locked in battle…" Gongenzaka began
"Kicking against the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters…!" Yuya continued
"They storm through this field!" Naruto added as hus fiends continued
"Behold! This is the latest and greatest evolution of dueling! Action…. Duel!" They shouted as the Action Cards scattered over the graveyard battlefield.
Yuya: 4000
Gongenzaka:4000
"I'll make the first move, it's my turn!" Gongenzaka announced. "I summon Superheavy Samurai Kageboushi from my hand (500/1000) in attack mode". A purple mechanical monster that played on a flute appeared on the field. "I activate Kageboushi's special ability, during the turn this card was normal summoned, I can tribute him in order to special summon a Superheavy Samurai from my hand." Gongenzaka announced slotting Kageboushi into his graveyard, "Now appear in defense mode, Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei(1000/3500)!". Big Benkei then appeared on the field twirling around it's spear as it took a stance."And with that, I now end my turn."
The kids looked shocked when they saw Big Benkei appear on Gongenzaka's first turn,
"He summoned a level 8 monster right away on his first turn?" Tatsuya said stunned.
Sora who licked on a lollipop. "Looks like Gon-chan is giving it his all right from the beginning, he's really serious about defeating Yuya." Sora said with a smile on his face.
Yuzu however looked over towards Yuya with a hint of worry in her eyes. This wasn't just a battle to decide which one of them would be allowed to participate in the Junior Youth Championship. It was a duel between two best friends.
"Don't worry about it to much Yuzu." Naruto said walking up behind the pink haired girl. "I'm positive Yuya is gonna do just fine. You just have a little faith in him."
"Of course he is, after all both of their entries into the Junior Youth Championship are riding on this duel". He closed his eyes, "I want Gongenzaka to win since he has been such a great help to us, but… as the principal of the You Show Duel School, I also want Yuya to win this duel…" Shuzo said with a conflicted expression clenching his fist "What should I do?!"
WHACK!
Next thing he knew has was laying face down on the ground nursing a huge lump on his head.
"Be quiet dad! Don't yell like that! What will you do if Yuya hears us?" Yuzu scolded.
"That's right Principle, Nico told us to quietly watch here today" Ayu said to the You Show headmaster.
"Sorry" Shuzo apologized rubbing his head.
"I wonder how Yugo will answer to Gon-chan's fighting spirit this is going to be fun" Sora said as he looked back towards the duel.
"It's my turn, i draw!" Yuya declared as he drew gritting his teeth. "Why, Why does my most important duel ever have to be against Gongenzaka of all people? After all it's because of him that I have even come this far. The fact that I even have reached 50 matches this year is because introduced me to disciples at this very dojo. 'Yuya lowered his gaze with a sad expression on his face,
"And yet, now I have to defeat the very same person that has helped me so much and make him unable to enter the Championship? Why did this have to happen?" Yuya whispered questioning why fate had decided to put him against one of his friends.
"SUCK IT UP YUYA!" a voice shouted causing Yuya's eyes to snap open and looked over to see Naruto standing atop one of the swords with a serious expression on his face. "It doesn't matter that your face Gongenzaka! Do you honestly think this duel is any easier on him than it is on you!?" Yuya looked up at Naruto with a shocked expression on his face he was surprised to see the blond sage was here but also by his words, it was true Yuya was more worried about how this duel was effecting him without even considering how this was effect Gongenzaka.
"I know it's never easy when your forced to fight a friend, a specially one that you share a close bond." Naruto's eyes narrowed shimmering as he remembered his battles against Sasuke. "But this a fight that he chose to take, and showing him pity would be a sign of disrespecting, not only to him but to you and everyone else who has put their faith in you! You need to let go of your doubts and fight this duel with every ounce of your strength just as much as Gongenzaka is. Right Gongenzaka?" Naruto said looking over to the Steadfast duelist who looked over to Yuya.
"That's right Yuya, i won't settle for anything less as Naruto said pitying your opponent so much is the same as disrespecting them. Fight me with everything you have!" Gongenzaka shouted clenching his fist.
Yuya lowered his head as he took in both Naruto and Gongenzaka's words. His eyes shot open with a new found fire in his eyes. 'There right I can't show any hesitation in this duel, if i do I'll let down everyone who's put their faith in me up to this point.' Yuya thought.
"That's right, I won't hesitate any longer! I'll fight this battle with everything I have." Yuya declares causing both Gong and Naruto to smile.
"I'll start by summoning Performapal, Hip Hippo!" Yuya announced summoning his trusty pink hippo to the field. "But I'm far from done." Yuya announced holding up a card looking over to Hippo who nodded.
"I'll tribute Hip Hippo, to special summon Performapal Sleight Hand Magician (2500/2000)!" Yuya announced as his pendant began to shine brightly as a new monster descended onto the field.
"I've never seen Yuya use that monster before." Yuzu said shocked at the sight of Yuya's new monster.
"I now activate Slight of hand Magicians ability! By discarding a card from my hand I'm able to destroy one of my opponents monster's!" Yuya announced as he slotted into his graveyard. "I choose to destroy Big Benki!" Yuya announced pointing towards the large mechanical samurai.
"Alright!" Tatsuya cheered. "If this works Yuya will deal some major damage!"
"Go Pendulum Magic!" Yuya exclaimed as the red clad jester unleashed a stream of blue energy destroying Big Benki. "Now Sleight of Hand Magician direct attack!" Yuya declared as his monster took to the sky producing a black sceptre in his hand releasing another blast upon Gongenzaka. ( Gongenzaka: 4000-1500).
"I activate the ability of Superheavey Samurai Soul Anchors!" Gongenzka announced as tattered black cloak with a shinning red eye appeared before firings two metal anchors into ground ripping Big Benki out from the earth surrounded by a black aura. "When I take battle damage, I'm able to banish this card and revive any Superheavey Samurai from my graveyard, furthermore, my life points increase equal to half that monster's Atk of Def!" Gongenzaka announced as a green aura covered both him and Benki as his life points went up. ( Gongenzaka: 1500-3250.)
Naruto whistled. 'Not bad, he was able to revive his monster and recover a good amount of life points to. Gongenzaka has really made some improvements to his deck since we last saw him.' Naruto thought watching the steadfast duelist battle cupping his chin. 'Now what are you planning to do now Yuya.'
"I end my turn." Yuya finished surprising everyone.
"He's ending his turn!?" The kids exclaimed.
"He's not even going to set a card!" Shuzo shouted.
'Yuya, what are you thinking?' Yuzu pondered wondering what her childhood friend could be thinking.
.
.
Meanwhile on the battlefield Naruto smiled seeing what Yuya was up to.
'Your changing as well Yuya.' Naruto thought suddenly he clenched his head in pain as an image appeared in his mind.
.
.
Two young boys were sitting together playing against each other in a duel one of them appeared to be around 10 years old the other 8.
"I'll summon Odd-Eyes in attack mode, and attack!" The boy declared.
"Did you forget I have a face down card?" The older boy said only to surprised as the younger boy held up a card Mystical Space Typhoon earnings a smirk from the older boy. "Your getting better and better every day...little Z-chan."
"Nii-san!" The boy addressed as Z-chan began to blush in embarrassment pouting as he puffed up his cheeks before the older boy rubbed his head tenderly.
"Hey, hey, you shouldn't get so worked little bro. Besides I'm sure Ray-chan will be happy to see you get stronger." The teased causing the younger boy to blush.
"Re-really?" He said poking his fingers together earning a grin from his brother.
"You can bet on it, if only her dad wasn't such a jacka..." The boy immediately covered his mouth looking down to his kid brother who had a confused expression on his face. "Rabbit! Yeah a Jack...rabbit! That's it. Hahaha." He chuckled rubbing his head sheepishly.
"You think Akaba-san is a jack rabbit? You sure can be weird sometimes nii-san." The boy said with a sweat drop.
.
.
Naruto clenched his chest breathing rather heavily. 'This..this feeling, why does it feel so familiar to me.' Naruto wondered before he recalled Kaguya and Holtacie words.
'The sleeping soul that now dweells within you shall help guide your path.' The creator of light stated placing her finger onto Naruto's heart engulfing him in light.
'The soul that dwells within me. Could those be his memories.' Naruto thought to himself, those words has always been on his mind since he met the two goddesses. He recalled the young boy who was with Kurosaki and the girl from Academia, could he also have a counterpart from this world. He was soon brought out of his thoughts by a loud cry from Gongenzaka.
"My turn! I draw!" The large boy shouted drawing his card causing a strong gust of wind to blow pushing Yuya back while Naruto stood unfazed by it thou he could not help but be reminded of Temari, and her fans gale force winds. He wondered if a certain lazy pineapple headed Nara finally told her how he felt.
.
.
Across the dimensions in the village hidden in the leaves Shikamaru Nara let out loud sneeze. "Aaaachoo!"
"You okay Shikamaru?" Temari asked her boyfriend as he wiped under his nose.
"I've just got this feeling that somebody is making jokes about me." Shikamaru thought as he and Temari walked through the village to meet up with Ino and Choji.
"Do you think it's..."
"Maybe...I really hope it is." Shikamaru thought as he looked over to an empty apartment building where a certain blond lived. 'Naruto...just where in the world are you?' He thought after several weeks the Konoha 11 including Sai had noticed the young sages absences and became worried. When they finally confronted the Hokage on the subject he revealed that Naruto had left the villiage. When they all questioned why he simply said it was to train but the boy genius could tell there was more to that and Kakashi knew it. He had also noticed Naruto's sudden change and noticed he was acting less and less like the happy go lucky blond they knew.
"Where ever you are, I hope you okay man." Shikamaru whispered before he and Temari kept on walking.
.
.
"An attacking Yuya and a defending Gongenzaka, the opening act of this duel went as we would expect from these two." Nico said smiling with excitement.
nodded. "Indeed, no matter how the opponent may move around, one must always hold a steadfast stance. That is the fundamental fighting style of our Gongenzaka Dojo." He stated crossing his arms as he looked over at his son. "Well done Noboru, I expected no less from the successor of my dojo."
"Pierce through the Junior Youth Championship with your Steadfast Dueling!" He shouted encouraging his sons victory.
"Your getting ahead of yourself father." Gongenzaka said closing his eyes as he smirked. "This match has only begun, and I haven't exerted my full strength yet. It's my turn, draw!" Gongenzaka stated as he drew his next card creating a shockwave. He looked over at the card in he had just drew. "It's here"
"I the man Gongenzaka have cast off my shell and have steeled my heart in order to defeat my best friend!" Gong declared shocking both Yuya and Naruto as the muscular boy gained a large smirk.
"Now watch this father!" Gongenzaka shouted. "This is the new Steadfast Dueling I aspire to create I summon the level 2 tuner monster Superheavy Samurai Horagai in attack mode" Gongenzaka said as he swiped the card appearing on his field was a small mechanical sphere like monster wielding a spear.
"A Tuner monster!?" Yuya exclaimed while Naruto narrowed his eyes at Gong's new monster a small smile crept across his face.
Gong held up his fist towards Yuya. "Here I go Yuya! I tune level 2 Superheavy Samurai Horagai with my level 8 Big Benkei!" He shouted as both his monsters jumped into the air Horagai blew on his horn before turning into two transparent green rings that encircled Big Benkei.
"Raging deity, in unison with the roar of a thousand blades, come forth in a spiralling sandstorm!" Gongenzaka chanted before a pillar of light erupted behind him. "Synchro Summon, Superheavy Samurai Warlord Susano-O (2400/3800)!" A large mechanical monsters appeared crossed legged wielding a large halbeard as his red eyes flashed.
"Gongenzaka...Synchro Summoned." Yuya said stepping back in shock.
.
.
Everyone else observing the duel was shocked at the sight of Gongenzaka's new monster.
"He really Synchro Summoned!" Yuzu gasped
"Was this the reason why he chose this field for this duel? In order to prove that he have grown stronger than last time he fought on it by beating Yuya on it?" Shuzo remarked.
'Yuya...' Yoko thought looking at her son.
.
.
"Here I come Yuya, the real battle begins now! Prepare yourself!" Gongenzaka declared with a serious expression.
Yuy grit his teeth. "I can't believe Gongenzaka Synchro Summoned! Also his new monster has 3800 Def which is higher than Big Benkei's." Yuya said as he gazed upon his best friends Synchro monster. "How am I gonna beat that thing?"
.
.
"That's enough!" Mr. Gongenzka announced as he stood up holding out his hand. "My son Noboru has lost this match!" He declared causing everyone to look at him shocked, wondering what he was talking about the master of the dojo looked over to his son. "Steadfast dueling means that having an immovable spirit is crucial!" He pointed at his son, "From the moment you stole techniques from another school in order to win you lost the duel".
.
.
"I did not steal them, I requested him to teach it to me." Gongenzaka replied turning to his father who narrowed his eyes.
"Requested...wait do you mean?" Yuya said looking over at Naruto who waved at his friend. "Naruto, your the one who taught Gongenzaka Synchro Summoning?!" he exclaimed shocking everyone.
Naruto nodded. "Yes, just like Yuzu, Gongenzaka asked me to train him in the ways of the other Summoning Techniques. He said that he wanted to reinvent himself and give birth to a new Steadfast Dueling style." Naruto stated
"A new Steadfast Dueling style?" Mr. Gongenzaka said narrowing his eyes.
"Dueling evolves every day father!" Gong said holding up his right fist. "It's necessary for the Steadfast Dueling style to evolve as well so it won't be left behind along with an era." Gong said as he turned towards Yuya. "Save your judgements on my decision until after you witness this match."
"From my hand I activate the effect of Superheavy Samurai Shinigami (0/0) from my hand." Gong announced holding up a card a new card depicting a mechanical skelton draped in black tattered cloak. "By banishing both Shinigami from my hand and Big Benkei from my graveyard I am able to perform a Fusion Summon!" Gong announced as black vortex opened in front of Gong as Benkei arose with Shinigami hovering above him shooting out chains wrapping themselves around its shoulders as they entered a transparent orange and blue vortex.
"Chilling spirit who dwells in the depths of the abyss, and raging deity, now join as one and call forth the mighty blade that craves a raging torrent across the valley of death!" Gong chanted as a golden light erupted behind him as he bumped his fists. "Fusion Summon, Superheavy Samurai Fiend Des-Scythe! ( Fusion/Machine/Lv:6/Atk:0/Def:0/: You can equip this to one Superheavy Samurai monster you control. When attacking discard three cards from your deck, reduce your opponents monsters Atk by 200 for every Superheavy Samurai in the graveyard.)! Hovering above the field was a large halbeard with black blade with crimson inscriptions. "I now equip Fiend Scythe to Susano-O
Susano-O held up his hand as he clutched the blade causing a purple aura to erupt around him as his eyes flashed twirling the blade.
"Battle, Susano-O attack Yuya's Sleigh of Hand Magician!" Gong announced as his warlord twirled his blade. "Fiend Scythe's ability activates, when attacking I can discard the top three cards of my deck." Gong stated as three cards shot out from his deck. "Furthermore your monster loses 200 Atk for each Superheavy Samurai in my graveyard. The current number of cards I have is six!" Six beams of light struck Yuya's sportscaster (Sleigh of Hand Magician (2500/2000-1300/2000), before Yuya could react Susano-O roared as he swung his massive blade slicing Sleight of Hand Magician in half causing him to shattered as Yuya was struck as well skidding across the graveyard of weapons (Yuya:4000-1500)
Yuya struggled to rise to his feet looking up at Gongenzaka who had a look of determination on his face.
The steadfast duelist looked over towards the young blond haired teen who had taken him under his wing and gave a grateful smile.

(Flashback: 5 Weeks ago)
Naruto was walking back home after another victory over another snobby punk from LDS came to challenge him to a duel when he spotted a familiar face standing in his path.
"Gongenzaka what's up?" Naruto asked sensing that something was troubling his friend. The larger boy said nothing as he marched towards the Jinchuriki until he was standing eye to eye with Naruto looking down at the blond with a hardened gaze. "Um...did I do something wrong?" He asked, with out warning Gongenzaka fell down on his hands and knees bowing his head to Naruto. "Gongenzaka, what are you doing?"
"Naruto, I beseech you! Please take me on as another of your students! I vow that I will train hard!" Gongenzaka pleaded surprising Naruto.
"You want me to train you?" Naruto repeated.
Gongenzaka raised his head and nodded. "Yes, after seeing how far Yuya and Yuzu have come along since undergoing your training, I've come to realize how far behind I am. I wish to become stronger so that I can duel at the same level as my friends and further grow as a duelist." Gongenzaka stated before clenching his fist tightly. "But even more than that, I wish to further evolve my families Steadfast Dueling Style!"
"Evolve your families Steadfast Dueling style." Naruto said.
The two friends decided to find a nice place to chat and sat on a bench in the park.
"Your dueling style is one that is centred on only using monster cards isn't it?" Naruto said recalling what Yuya had told him during the team duel against LDS.
"Yes, it was a way of dueling founded long ago by my family." Gongenzaka said looking up at the sky. "It was a school for duelist who wanted to focus on dueling without having to rely on the help if Magic and Trap cards, my great, great grandfather Tsuyoi Gongenzaka was its founder,his deck lacked any form of balance, and he was often regarded as failure as a duelist because of his inability to use Magic and Trap cards usefully, he would also use the cards at the wrong moment or out right announced the card he would set."
"I can relate to that." Naruto said recalling his past in Konoha's Shinobi Academy. "So what did he do about that problem?"
"He decided to forego to use of Magic and Trap cards and would focus on utilizing the skills of his monster cards alone. He knew it was foolish to do so but he held on to his dream...to create a new form of dueling not seen by anyone before!" Gongenzaka stated as he rose to his feet slamming his fist onto his chest. "He spent countless years researching and studying on monsters that could help him in this task, and in his search he found those cards."
"Superheavy Samurais." Naruto concluded
"Indeed so, the cards were heavily rejected in the dueling world and looked upon as worthless." Gongenzaka said as he pulled out his deck looking at the image Benkei. "But grandfather Tsuyoi so the value of theses cards and through many trails was able to forge the Steadfast Dueling style which has been principal style of of families dueling."
"So why are so interested on changing it?" Naruto replied.
"In my duel against Yaiba, I came to realize how far behind the Steadfast Dueling style is behind other schools. While we stay to the past other schools continue to grow and evolve with time. Such as You Show, not only have it's students become the birthplace of a new summoning, but it's students have started mastering the other summonings as well. I've come to realize that if our school is to every grow stronger than we to must evolve. However I still fully intend to stay true to our family legacy tapping into the full strength of the Superheavy Samurai deck!" Gongenzaka shouted with conviction.
"You know, relying on the strength of monsters alone, some might call that stupid." Naruto said as he ruffled hair a bit.
"I understand, but I will stick to this style and evolve it further." Gongenzaka replied
Naruto couldn't help but chuckle at Gongenzaka's resolve. "You know something Gongenzaka, you remind of a good friend of mine." He said catching the larger boys attention. "He was told he was a failure who could never accomplish anything because he couldn't do genjutsu or ninjutsu, the only thing he was good at was Taijutsu. And do you know what he did with that?" Naruto asked looking over to Gongenzaka.
"What?"
"He worked hard, never gave up and pushed himself harder than anyone else, and he ended becoming one of the strongest people I've ever know." Naruto said putting a hand in Gongenzaka's shoulder. "If you truly believe in this, then I promise you I'll help you go farther then you ever thought you could go, cause your just like him, you've got that same burning spirit, loyalty to your friends...and unbelievably big eyebrows." Naruto said chuckling at the last part while Gongenzaka gave him an anime deadpan look.
(Flashback End)
.
.
'Naruto, thank you. For making not just me, but all of us stronger. I will show you that training we endured together was not a waste." Gongenzaka vowed.
'Gongenzaka's gotten so much stronger now, I'd never imagined he'd learned both Fusion and Synchro Summoning, and I bet he's got Xyz and Pendulum summoning down as well.' Yuya thought looking over the cards in his hand. 'But I've also come along way thanks to Naruto pushing me the way he did.' Yuya thought smirking thinking back to the harsh training he was forced to endure during his long training under Naruto. 'And it's because of Naruto that I've been able further evolve my Pendulum summoning then I ever imagined. Isn't that right Odd-Eyes.' Yuya looked over his shoulder to see the after image of his partner duel monster.
"I set the Pendulum Scale with scale 4 Odd-Eyes Dissolver, and scale 8 Timegazer Magician!" Yuya announced setting the two cards on the far ends of his duel disk causing the word Pendulum to spread out in rainbow colored words. Two transparent pillars of light soon appeared with Odd-Eyes Dissolver on the left and Timegazer on the right. "With this I'm now to summon monsters from level 5 to 7 simultaneously!" He announced as massive version of his pendant swung back and forth between the pillars.
"Swing, Pendulum of the soul, draw an arc of light across the ether, I Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters!" Yuya chanted as the pendant swung back and forth between the pillars. "Appear my monsters!" Yuya shouted raising his hand a portal appeared between the two Pendulum Zones and two beams came down from it,
"First, appear Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000)!". Odd-Eyes appeared on the field with a roar. "Second, come forth Odd-Eyes Light Phoenix (2000/1000)!" Light Phoenix soared through the air with loud screech before landing beside Odd-Eyes
"Next I activate Pendulum Gift!" Yuya announced holding up his spell. "For each Pendulum card on my field, I'm able to draw that number of cards." He stated as drew four new cards and smiled. "I active Polymerization from my hand!" Yuya announced as massive wind erupted around him as both his monsters were swallowed up.
"Dual Colored Dragon, fly with the fury of the winds and blow away everything in your path!" Yuya chanted as a green aura covered his body and the astral form of Odd-Eyes appeared surrounded by green flames as it roared as he brought his hands together.
"Fusion Summon! Fly Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon!" Yuya shouted
A few moments later, Odd-Eyes rose out of the vortex in a new form. Its body had become covered in green armor with white and gold trim, with gold lightning bolt-shaped blades running down the sides of its neck and tail. Its right eye burned red while its left eye glowed blue. On its back were two pairs of gold and white blade-like wings.
"His fusion monster!" Gong exclaimed seeing Yuya's wind attribute Odd-Eyes soaring in the sky.
"Vortex Dragon's effect now activates which returns one of your cards back to your hand! I choose Susano-O!" Yuya declared pointing towards the massive synchro monster who was soon swallowed up by the powerful winds causing it to shatter into yellow particles.
'Good job Yuya, .' Naruto thought with a smile on his face before looking over Gongenzaka who's only remaining card was Fiend Des-Scythe, that monster was a risky one to use from the start as its stuck in attack mode. 'Even with Vortex Dragon, Gongenzaka will still have life points remaining. So what's the rest of your plan Yuya?" Naruto ponders.
"I activate Odd-Eyes Dissovers ability, one per turn I can fusion summon on dragon using monsters from my hand or field as fusion material! I'll fuse both Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon and Silver Claw in my hand!" Yuya announced holding up two card which ascended into the sky while Dissolver held up it's staff shining a bright emerald light.
"Prideful silver wolf, become one with the arcane dragon and give birth to a new power!" Yuya chanted as he brought his hands together above his head as a golden light flashed behind him. "I Fusion Summon! Come forth, level 8, ferocious dragon with luminous feral eyes, Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (3000/2000)!"
Three eyes glowed in the darkness one yellow and one green with a massive yellow eye while the top one was larger and golden revealing a monster very similar to Odd-Eyes. but with a more bony look, and covered by dark blue fur in some points, spikes on its back, claws on the top of its fur and around its horns, it had fur around the horns and neck and throat.
"Beast-Eyes attack Des-Scythe, Hell Dive Burst!" Yuya shouted as he jumped up on Beast-Eyes's neck and grabbed a hold of its horns before the dragon jumped in the sky while Gongenzaka gasped in shock as he saw the dragon gather fire in its mouth. Beast-Eyes unleashed a stream of fire that took the shape of Beast-Eyes's head and roared as it flew towards Des-Scythe causing it to shatter apart while Gongenzaka was pushed back by the force of the shockwaves (Gongenzaka:3250-250).
"Beast-Eyes effect activates, when it destroys a monster in battle, I'm able to deal my opponent damage equal to the Atk of the Beast type monster I used to summon it!" Yuya announced. "And since Silver Claw's attack points is 1800, this duel is over Gongenzaka".
Beast-Eyes got surrounded by fire and unleashed a stream of fire towards Gongenzaka and slammed in to his chest and sent him flying to the ground (Gongenzaka: 250-0)
"I've won Gongenzaka." Yuya said as he and Beast-Eyes landed on the field which soon vanished.
"Nice job Yuya!" Naruto shouted wrapping his arm around his friends shoulder.
"Thanks Naruto, I couldn't have done it with out this card you gave me." Yuya said looking at his Beast-Eyes.
"Pfft, no way this victory was all thanks you and your determination." Naruto said waving off before looking over to a nearby door. "You guys can come out now!" He called out confusing Yuya before he was suddenly tackled to the ground by Tatsuya, Ayu, and Futoshi.
"Yuya-niichan!" The children cried out in joy.
"You did it, you won!" All three of them said.
"You guys… were you watching this whole time?" Yuya said with shock
Ayu nodded"Yeah of course we did, but Nico told us that we couldn't cheer you on in person so…"
Tatsuya smiled "We watched in secret, after all this was your most important duel of the four, so there was no way we were gonna miss it."
Yoko then walked over to them, "If you're aiming to become a pro, you'll have to be able to win even when you're the away team in the duel".
"Mom!?" He exclaimed in shock seeing his mother her as well.
"That's true Yuya." Naruto said with a nod.
"And you managed to pull off a splendid victory! You were on fire Yuya, really hot-blooded!" Shuzo shouted with a bright smile on his face.
Sora placed his heads behind his head with a large lollipop in his mouth, "No kidding, I got quite excited as well as we watched the duel, never expected you to use a Pendulum ability to Fusion Summon, or that you would Fusion Summon twice on top of that." Sora remarked impressed by Yuya's plays.
Yuya then turned towards Yuzu who walked towards him with a happy smile on her face, "Yuya, congratulation". She was happy that he had managed to win the duel despite being in a disadvantage throughout most of it.
Yuya looked at them shocked before he got a happy smile on his face and shook his head 'I see now, they were watching over me and supporting me even though I wasn't aware of it, I should've realized it earlier' Yuya though with releaf, however Yuya was soon broken out of his thoughts when he saw
Gongenzaka walk up to him and got a troubled expression on his face,
"Gongenzaka…" Yuya muttered before looking down on the floor "I'm sorry, since I won, your entry into the Junior Youth Championship is…"
However Gongenzaka simply smiled "Don't worry about it too much Yuya, there is a week left before the Championship starts so I still have a chance to qualify in time for it. I'm just glad that I was able to push you this far". He said as he held out his hand towards Yuya who smiled and shook hands with Gongenzaka.
"So moving! This is truly a friendship between men!" Shuzo cried shedding tears of joy however he was soon on the floor groaning in pain from a massive lump on his head courtesy of his daughter.
"Calm down dad".
Mr Gongenzaka were also crying at the moving scene "Noboru, you fought well! You both are splendid duelists!" He drying his tears with his sleeve.
Nico looked at Yuya with a smile, 'Well done Yuya, I knew that I had chosen the right duelist, you have what it takes to become a pro as great as your father Yusho Sakaki, if not even greater.' Nico thought as he watched Gongenzaka hugging Yuya as he cried in happiness while Yuya struggled to break free while Naruto just pointed and laughed.
Yuya managed to break free from Gongenzaka's hug and moved away from him. Yuya felt a hand on his shoulder and turned his head to see his mom smiling
"Well done Yuya for qualifying for the Junior Youth Championship, however I knew you would make it." Yoko said as Yuya smiled.
"We all did pal." Naruto said placing his hand in Yuya's free shoulder before leaning in closer. "Maybe this duel finally gave you boost in your confidences, hmmm?" Naruto remarked as Yuya's cheek gained a reddish tint.
"Hahahaahaha!" Kurama laughed from within his mindscape.
"He's right about that Yuya." Yoko said agreeing with Naruto, it was time.
Yuya took a deep gulp "I-I-I have no idea what you're talking about!" He stuttered.
Yoko chuckled"Yuya, I'm your mother and from how you sometimes look at her, I could easy see that you have strong feelings for Yuzu".
"See! Even Yoko-san knew! Look you enough is enough man, now is the time!" Naruto whispered in a hushed tone as he brought Yuya in close.
"But...but what if I.." Yuya took a look over in Yuzu's direction as she talked with Gongenzaka. "What if i mess up."
"Just have faith man." Naruto replied.
.
.
As the You Show group made their way out the dojo, Yuya walked close up behind Yuzu and decided now was the time and gently poked her shoulder.
"Yes Yuya?" Yuzu asked turning back to face Yuya who was rubbing the back of his head. "What's the matter?"
"Um...um Yuzu. I was wondering if. .if you'd like to. Go out on...date." Yuya said blushing at the last part as Yuzu gained a pinkish tint in her cheeks.
.
.
Here it is the first half of chapter 10, I'm working on the remaining addition which will include Yuya and Yuzu's date and Naruto's duel against the deadly Number 96. Also if you have suggestions for custom cards for Naruto or any other characters please send them in via P.M or Reviews. I hope you've all enjoyed the first half of the 10th chapter of Naruto The Supreme King, once this chapter is done I'm planning to go back and look over my previous chapters cause I feel I could have done better, and I feel I should have Naruto earn the Legendary Duelist cards over being handed them, as such Naruto may have the Number cards but is only bale to access Utopia at the moment until his eventual duel against 96 and the Xyz Arc.
