Naruto vs. Kaiba Rematch!
One week later….
It has been a week since Yugi defeat Weevil Underwood and eliminating the little pest from the tournament. Since then, Naruto has been making head way in the tournament and has been labeled as the number one contender with Yugi, Mai, and Joey following after him. Within the first three days, Naruto has been challenged by various duelists all wanting a piece of him, but all they got was a through ass whooping and the loss of their star chips. Naruto currently has thirty star chips three times what he needs, but figures that they would come in handy later on.
Right now, Naruto was standing at the stairs that'll lead to Pegasus's castle where he'll challenge the man who stole Solomon's soul and save both his grandfather and his girlfriend's sight. As he walked the stairs he heard a familiar voice.
"STOP!"
Naruto recognized the voice as his younger brother Yugi and from the sound of it he was in distress. Naruto ran up the stairs to see the end of a duel between his brother and Kaiba. Yugi was on his knees and hands looking as if he had done something unforgivable and Kaiba who was standing in the ledge and looking at Yugi as if he completed what he set out to do. Kaiba walked off the ledge to the center of the floor picking up ten star chips, pocketing them and walked away. At this Naruto ran to Kaiba.
"Hey dick weed clench you teeth!" he yelled getting everyone's attention.
Before he knew it, Kaiba was punched in the face with enough force to launch the bastard to the nearest wall. Kaiba slammed into the wall and slid down, but was stopped when Naruto grabbed him by the collar and held him at eye level.
"What the fucking was that?!" he asked furious that this fool would go to extreme lengths to win.
"What did it look like… I won the match" Kaiba said almost unfazed by being punched.
"By holding yourself hostage… have no honour?" Naruto growled.
"Hmm…. Honour is for the weak" Kaiba said as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He stared Naruto who glared at him with his single visible eye.
"It would seem you learned nothing from our last duel. It would seem you need a refresher course, now duel me here and now" Naruto said still not letting go.
"Why should I, I have all that I need" Kaiba sneered.
"Because knowing you dueling my brother wasn't satisfying enough because it was I who humiliated you, so knowing you your pride won't let this opportunity to defeat me pass up. So, are you a betting man?" he asked playing to Kaiba's ego.
"I know you're playing me, but you're right…. My pride won't be satisfied until I see you groveling at my feet like the dog you are" Kaiba said pushing Naruto away forcing him to release Kaiba. Then the two older duelists walked to the middle of the dueling floor as Kaiba gave Naruto the duel disc. Then the two walked onto either side and inserted their respective decks into the deck slot.
NARUTO: 2000
KAIBA: 2000
"Duel!" they shouted.
"Are you ready for our rematch Kaiba?" asked Naruto still pissed that Kaiba would stoop so low as to crush his brother in a humiliating duel just to get to him.
"This is it Naruto. Whoever wins faces Pegasus and whoever loses, well, you'll be left a broken man, just like your brother" said Kaiba causing Naruto to flinch as he remembered when he was left broken the first time was then his parents died and the last time was when he was betrayed by someone he once trusted. As Naruto growled, the magatama around his neck stared to glow and the symbol of the Six Samurai appeared on his forehead, then the image of samurai appeared overlapping his figure and merging with the spirit of the samurai. As he did his posture changed, his only visible eye glowed an emerald green; while under his eye patch crimson light can be seen escaping from the cracks. When the glowing stopped, Naruto was a few inches taller, his hair had grown and now reached the center of his upper back and his blonde hair acquired red-black streaks. He had removed his eye patched revealing a single crimson eye with a slit pupil. His whiskers had darkened.
"Kaiba it'll be you who will be left broken because unlike my brother…. I play for keeps" Naruto said glaring at Kaiba whose eyes slightly widen as it did with everyone on the sidelines.
Sidelines
"Yug… you're brother he isn't serious is he?" asked a concern Joey, but got no response from his best friend who was still shaken up from what he was so close to doing.
"Yugi-kun… please" begged a concern Tea, but even she couldn't get a response.
"Well whatever the case, this duel is going to happen and from the looks of things, both are determined to crush the other" said Bakura.
"Seems like we're about to see a bloodbath" added Tristan.
Duel
"Stand back and prepare for battle" said Kaiba as he launched his duel disc.
"I play Ryu-Kishin Powered (Dark Attribute; 4 stars, Fiend; ATK: 1600/Def: 1200; A gargoyle enhanced by the powers of darkness. Very sharp talons make it a worthy opponent) in attack mode" Kaiba said summoning the fiend then 4 holographic cards appeared in front of him. This caught Naruto's interest.
"Interesting Kaiba, but not good enough" Naruto as he launched his disc.
"I active Gateway of the Six and Six Samurai United" Naruto said as the two cards flipped revealing what they were. This caused Kaiba to growl because those two cards alone were a threat, but together made the deck super effective in its swarming capability.
"Then I active the field spell card Shien's Castle of Mist (Spell card; Field Spell; When a "Six Samurai" monster is attacked, the attacking monster loses 500 ATK during damage calculation only)" Naruto said as a castle came into view, but was shrouded in mist.
"What are you up to Moto?" asked if not demanded Kaiba.
"Setting up the field to my liking Kaiba, but just so you know… my turn isn't done. Now I summon The Six Samurai- Irou (Dark attribute; 4 stars; ATK: 1700/ DEF: 1200; Warrior/ Effect: At the start of the Damage Step, if this card attacked a face-down Defense Position monster: Destroy that monster. You must control a face-up "Six Samurai" monster with a different name to activate and to resolve this effect. If this card would be destroyed, you can destroy another face-up "Six Samurai" monster you control instead) in attack mode" he said summoning a purple armoured samurai with an oversized sword. Upon it summoning both Gateway and United acquired their respective number of Bushido counters.
"Now Irou attack Kaiba's Ryu-Kishin… Swallow Strike" Naruto ordered. Then Irou moved his long katana to the slide, then with blinding speed launched at Ryu-Kishin, but in an instant Irou was standing behind Ryu-Kishin as if nothing happened, but then Ryu-Kishin howled in pain as it was cut clean in half, then the creature exploded with Irou appearing on Naruto's side of the field.
1700-1600= 100
NARUTO= 2000
KAIBA=2000-100=1900
"Then I set one card face down and end my turn" Naruto said as a facedown card appeared.
Kaiba then caught his duel disc "you're good, but not good enough, don't you think I expected that attack? And once again you've played right into my hands, Blondie" said Kaiba with a confident smirk, but Naruto looked completely unfazed.
"Are you done?" asked Naruto.
"W-what?"
"I asked are you done because I have a million better things to do right now than listen to a perpetual child, so make your move or I'll go again" said Naruto who was completely irritated. At this Kaiba growled because this fool wasn't taking him seriously, well he'll show him what it means to cross Seto Kaiba.
"Fine then…" Kaiba said as he drew his next card and smiled.
"I play Sword Stalker (Dark Attribute; Lvl 6; Warrior; A monster formed by the vengeful souls of those who passed away in battle. ATK/2000 DEF/1600)" he said as he summoned his monster.
"The Sword Stalker gathers the life force of a fallen ally, raising his attack points by 20%. Watch" (AN: this is some serious level bull shit. Where on this card does it say that? I call Hax on this series)
Sword Stalker 2000 + 400= 2400 (ATK/2400 DEF/1600)
"So that's why Kaiba allowed me to destroy his monster…. It won't matter since I have everything set" Naruto thought completely unfazed by what just happened.
"Attack now, Sword Stalker!" Kaiba ordered. But as Kaiba's monster charged at Irou, the castle behind Naruto then started to release mist which then covers the field.
"W-What's going on?!" Kaiba asked.
"Shien's Castle of Mist is a field spell that activates when you attack a monster with 'Six Samurai' in its name and those attacking monsters lose 500 attack points" Naruto said as Kaiba's monster grew weaker.
Sword Stalker's Attack power: 2400 – 500 = 1900
"Grrr… that still won't be enough" Kaiba said.
"True… if it wasn't for my face down card" he said as the card flipped over to reveal a trap card.
"I activate Reinforcement (Trap; Increase one monsters attack by 500 points.) And I use its effect to increase Irou's attack power" Naruto said.
The Six Samurai- Irou Attack power: 1700 + 500 = 2200
"Now Irou counter attack" Naruto ordered. Irou then burst from the mist and drove his blade through the weakened Sword Stalker.
2200 – 1900= 300
NARUTO= 2000
KAIBA=1900 – 300= 1600
"Alright, hey Kaiba, Naruto put the moves on you again!" said an excited Joey.
"Hmm. Clueless. If those fools only knew what's in store for blondie" Kaiba muttered.
"My turn… Draw" Naruto said as he drew from his deck.
"I summon The Six Samurai- Yaichi (Attribute Water; Lvl 3; Warrior/ Effect; Once per turn: You can target 1 Set Spell/Trap Card; destroy that target. You must control a face-up "Six Samurai" monster with a different name to activate and to resolve this effect. This card cannot declare an attack during the turn this effect is activated. If this card would be destroyed, you can destroy another face-up "Six Samurai" monster you control instead. ATK 1300/ DEF 800) in attack mode and with him, I gain 2 more bushido counters on Gateway of the Six and one more on Six Samurai United, so now because there are two counters on United, I send it from the field to the graveyard and draw two cards" Naruto said as he moved the spell card from the field to the discard pile and added two new cards to his hand.
"Now I activate Gate's second effect by removing 4 bushido counters I can add one six samurai monster to my hand from either my deck or my graveyard" he added as he searched his deck and found what he was looking for.
"Now with two different Six Samurai monsters on the field I can special summon Great Shogun Shien ( Attribute Fire; Lvl 7; Warrior/ Effect; If you control 2 or more face-up "Six Samurai" monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). Your opponent can only activate 1 Spell/Trap Card each turn. If this card would be destroyed, you can destroy a face-up "Six Samurai" monster you control instead. ATK 2500/ DEF 2400) and I play one card face down and end my turn" Naruto said as his ace monster took center stage with both Irou and Yachi flanking him.
"I'll take on your swordsmen with a magician I summon La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp (Dark Attribute; Lvl 4; Fiend; A genie of the lamp that is at the beck and call of its master. ATK/1800 DEF/1000) my wish is his command"Kaiba said, but didn't attack know full well that duel to the field spell out on the field his monster would be destroyed via counter attack.
"Hmmm… good card, however, it still won't be enough and I know what you're planning with that monster since I know full well what card pairs with that card, so instead of charging in blindly…" Naruto said getting a growl from Kaiba because he'd hoped that Naruto was the same as his younger brother, but that thought was thrown out the window.
"I activate Yaichi's special ability you see once per turn: I can target 1 Set Spell/Trap Card and destroy that target. However, to resolve this effect I must control a face-up "Six Samurai" monster with a different name to activate and to resolve this effect. The price for such ability is that this card cannot declare an attack during the turn this effect is activated. So sine I control Irou who happens to be a Six Samurai monster, my Yaichi's ability activates. Go Yaichi find the trap and clear the path" he ordered his yellow armoured samurai who then armed his yumi bow and aimed at his intended target and fired. The arrow then pierced the card revealing it to be the Ancient Lamp (AN: I don't know why this is a trap card when it's a monster card in the OCG and TCG). At this Kaiba growled.
"Now that your genie has nowhere to hide, I shall send it to the grave, go Shien destroy La Jinn with vengeful strike" he ordered. Then Shien drew his blade which then ignited in red flames. The red clad warrior then launched and drove his blade into La Jinn destroying said monster. The shock wave of the explosion knocked Kaiba on the ground.
2500 – 1800 = 700
NARUTO= 2000
KAIBA=1600 – 700 = 900
"Well look at that… face down with another man beating your ass… is it Wednesday already Kaiba" asked Naruto. This caused Kaiba to growl while Joey, Tristan and surprisingly Bakura were laughing at the gay joke Naruto made to the rich kid.
"That's it Moto you're fucking dead" Kaiba said in a menacing tone as he got up.
"Oh my I made him angry…. Oh well I play a card face down and end my turn. Your move" Naruto said with a smirk.
Kaiba then pulled the disc back to him "that's it… I'm done playing games. Now behold monster with no equal for I activate Polymerization and fuse the three Blue Eyes in my hand to summon the unstoppable Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon (Light Attribute; Lvl 12; Dragon/ Fusion; Blue Eyes White Dragon x 3; ATK/4500 DEF/3800)!" he said as his three dragons became one powerful monster. When it appeared the dragon gave a mighty roar.
"Hahaha face it blondie you've lost" Kaiba said in his usual arrogant tone, but was slightly surprised that Naruto hadn't flinched or coward at the face of his all-powerful monster. Naruto then flipped his face down card and what it was shocked Kaiba.
"I activate a very rare trap card called Solemn Judgment (Counter Trap; When a monster would be Summoned OR a Spell/Trap Card is activated. Pay half your Life Points; negate the Summon OR activation, and if you do, destroy that card) and by paying half my life points I negate the summoning of your dragon and destroy it" Naruto said as an old man appeared from the trap card and shot out his hand. When he did the dragon was disintegrated into particles. This made everyone go wild eye with shock because Naruto had done something that took Yugi from his last duel with Kaiba several turns to do and Naruto did it in a single turn.
2000 – 1000 = 1000
NARUTO= 1000
KAIBA=900
"Kaiba I hope that wasn't your best because if it was then I'm sorely disappointed" Naruto said in a disinterested tone with Kaiba still shocked that his best was stopped by a never before seen card.
Sidelines
"Wow did you see that?" Tristan asked.
"I saw alright, but for Naruto to destroy that monster with a single card was impressive" Bakura said.
"Well don't be too surprised, Naruto is one of the strongest duelists I've seen to date and this just proves that" Joey said knowing that Naruto was here for Serenity and Solomon Moto.
Yugi remained motionless, but watched his brother and Kaiba duel and came to the realization that he was still in his brothers' shadow, hell even the spirit in the puzzle could sense the overwhelming potential in Naruto and wondered if his host would one day obtain the same level of confidence and skill as the older sibling.
With Naruto vs. Kaiba
Kaiba was shocked his most powerful monster destroyed with ease and he had wasted three powerful monsters with no way of getting them back because he did have Monster Reborn in his hand. Kaiba gritted his teeth and stared at Naruto "Naruto if I lose here then any chance of saving my brother will be lost forever, but I have a strategy that'll tip the scales into my favor" Kaiba said, this got everyone's attention because those were the same words Kaiba said when he held himself hostage.
"Oh and pray tell will you be doing to accomplish that?" Naruto asked not caring what his opponent was planning to do.
"I'm going to force your hand and win this battle" Kaiba said as he backed away and climbed on to the ledge. This action caused everyone, but Naruto to look on with shock because Kaiba would do the same against Naruto as he did with Yugi.
"Go ahead and attack anything I summon, and whip out the remainder of my life points, however, the resulting shockwave s might cause me to lose my balance" Kaiba said, but was slightly shocked that Naruto didn't flinch almost as if he didn't care if Kaiba lived or not.
"Don't tempt me Kaiba, because you won't like how I'll respond to this opportunity that you've presented to me" Naruto said in a cold and uncaring tone that horrified everyone even Kaiba and the spirit of the millennium puzzle.
"Y-You're bluffing" Kaiba said.
"Am I? Am I really bluffing or are you shocked that I don't value your life as I do with my family and friends. Kaiba I still haven't forgiven you for what you did to my grandfather. My grandfather is a kind and gentle person who everyone who knew him had much respect for and the one who raised both me and Yugi after our parents passed away and you put him in the hospital all because he wouldn't give you his Blue Eyes White Dragon card… that is something I'll never forgive a cowardly scum like you for" Naruto said with enough hatred that even Bandit Keith who was watching the duel to shiver of the thought what Naruto planned to do to Kaiba.
'T-This can't be happening I was hoping that blondie would adhere to the same moral compass as Yugi, but from the way he said that he doesn't have a compass, so what happened to this guy to snap' thought Kaiba trying to rationalize what was going on.
"So, are you going to end your turn, or are you going to give everyone here a performance you circus clown reject" Naruto said with his arms folded and tapping his right index finger on his left bicep.
Kaiba growled, this blondie not only destroyed his monster, but made his efforts to getting on the field pointless. Kaiba then pulled back his disc and played a monster in defense mode.
"I play a monster in defense mode…. That ends my turn" Kaiba said in a defeated tone.
"My turn… draw" Naruto said as he drew his next. When he looked at the card he smiled and devilish grin.
"Well Kaiba… guess I win this duel and show you why I'm the last person to ever anger" Naruto said as he pulled the disc to him. Naruto then played the card and threw the disc back out.
"I play Monster Reborn" he said getting wide eye looks from everyone.
"N-No you can't" said a terrified Kaiba.
"Oh I can and will now rise BLUE EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON!" he yelled as the three headed dragon appeared behind him and his samurai. The dragon the unleashed a mighty roar what sent shivers down everyone's spine.
"Now Kaiba this can go either one of two ways…. I can attack your monster and as you said the shockwaves will cause you to lose your balance and you'd fall to your untimely demise or you surrender the duel" he said getting shocked looks from everyone.
"And why would I surrender?" asked Kaiba.
"Because 1) if you continue then you're brothers only hope of freedom dies with you 2) the children in the audience haven't been exposed to actual death and 3)…." He said as he pulled out a small brown bag and juggled it in his hand. Upon doing so, everyone heard the sound of metal hitting one another.
"I have more than the ten star chips needed to gain entry into the castle, so this duel was never about star chips Kaiba… it was about resolve of being able to push aside one's moral compass to save the people you care about…. But know this Kaiba I'm sparing your life on a whim, so surrender and go save your brother, while I tend to mine" Naruto said as he put the bag away.
Kaiba at first wanted to tell the blonde duelist to go screw himself, but his argument basically left no room for any sort of argument. So, sucking in his pride, Kaiba placed his hand over his deck "I surrender the duel" he said as the holographic monsters faded.
Naruto took his cards from the disc and placed them back into his deck box. Kaiba who had jumped on the ledge and back on the castle ground approached Naruto to get back his disc.
"Remember Kaiba… I let you live on a whim, if you ever try something like this again don't expect any mercy for you shall receive none" he said as he left to check on his brother. Kaiba was a bit shocked, but knew that if the roles were reversed, he would've done the same thing. So, after regain his composure, he collected his duel disc and left to face off against Pegasus.
With Yugi & co.
Naruto approached Yugi and his group, but a bit hesitant because of the looks he received from said group. Naruto knew that Yugi and his friends saw a side to him that he kept hidden because that side was only meant for those who had hurt his family and of course wanted Yugi to never see that side of him. Steeling himself, he approached his brother who looked horrified at his brother.
"N-Naruto nii-san…. W-were going to…" Yugi asked, but was too scared to say it.
"Sigh… Yugi there are things I've done to protect you and grandpa that I can never take back and I've made peace with myself in knowing as long as my family was safe… I don't care if the devil has made a claim on my soul, but I will do anything and everything to protect my family. You, grandpa and Serenity are the only one's keeping me sane and if I lose any of you… I fear that my soul will forever be trapped in the darkness that has engulfed my heart" he said as he put on his eye patch which caused him to revert to his original form.
"B-But nii-san…" Yugi tried to say, but was stopped when Naruto placed his hand on Yugi's head and rubbed it.
"Yugi… what you did was something I couldn't have done and I'm proud of you for not letting the desire to win get in the way of your morals" Naruto said as he pulled out the bag with the extra star chip. He then pulled out 5 and placed them in the 5 empty slots.
"Now why don't we go and win back our grandfathers soul and the prize money for Serenity" he said getting a cheer from Yugi's friends and a weak cheer from Yugi who was still coming to terms with what had happen during his duel and with what his brother's duel against Kaiba.
Naruto then went on a head leaving Yugi's group. Joey then turned to Yugi "Yug… I understand where your brother is coming from, because if Serenity were ever put in your shoes when you dueled Kaiba just now… then I would show no mercy for hurting my sister" Joey said which everyone looked at their blonde friend in a different light.
"So, don't hate your big bro Yug because for better or for worse he's always looking out for you because he loves you. Like any sibling should" Joey said right before following Naruto.
Yugi looked on as his brother and friend walked away and took what Joey and Naruto said to heart. The same could be said about the spirit in the millennium puzzle who looked on at the older siblings with respect for they'll do anything to protect their family even if it meant following a dark path just to keep the younger sibling in the light.
