The Nine-tailed duelist!
Disclaimer:I don't own Naruto or anything of thing of the Yugi-oh franchise because honestly if I owned either then I would have bought my own super collection of cards and been declared the pimp of dueling, fear my Harpy lay #1, I said fear it!
Chapter Two: Duels and deals!
Another day in the slum sector as young Uzumaki prepared himself for his first lesson in dueling, his destination came closer to the man he sought out to teach him, Yusei Fudo. Yusei was a man known throughout the slum sector for his skill on working with any D-cycle, or anything with an engine for that matter. The people knew this man was meant for greater things, he just needed to escape the slums. The man stood outside anticipating the blonde's arrival his black hair with gold highlights and blue eyes stared on as Naruto came into view in the distance. Yusei's attire consisted of a long-sleeved blue jacket with a high collar and amber gems, over a sleeveless black shirt with a red symbol, and wears gloves below his elbows with an amber gem on them. His lower body consists of black jeans with amber knee pads, a belt with two Deck holsters hidden under his jacket, and calf-high motorcycle boots.
"I don't see why you're helping him Yusei, I mean isn't it odd to you? He traded cards off left and right for favors or cash even the real good ones." His gaze never faltered, even as the boy jumped in front of his gaze all to often. "It doesn't matter Rally as long as he wants to learn I'll teach him the game." The now named Rally grumbled in silence as Naruto approached them all giving each person a friendly wave. "I'm warning ya Yusei, this has bad written all over it." Even before the Young man could even reply, Rally took off back to the subway system leaving the men alone. Yusei sizing up the orange clad boy while Naruto sweated nervously under his future teacher's gaze.
"Let's see your deck then, Naruto." They glanced at each other again, this time it was the other way around the young Uzumaki's turn to test Yusei's character and he never flinched a second. "Well see here is the problem Yusei I don't have a deck on me, but I do have the cards to make one." His gaze unyielding, and even making the boy starting to regret even asking for help in the first place. "Alright we'll get started on making a deck then." The obvious annoyance in Yusei's blue eyes, faded watching Naruto make a fool of himself for even remotely trying to some sort of victory dance. "Uh where do I start then?" In all the liveliness both had forgotten about the fact that they lived in the slums, and cards brought out the worst in people around here. "We'll go downstairs then Rally won't mind, and I'll admit that I do want to see what cards you brought with you."
WIth that in mind both slowly headed toward the subway, Naruto holding the box of treasured cards close to him. His eyes darting back and forth knowing Rally was nearby. Even as nice as Rally acted towards him, Naruto knew better than to drop his guard around him the locater marks on Rally's face said it all especially when the little guy was a thief, first and for most. It was many hours before Naruto had his deck constructed, and the concept of dueling burned into his head. His hands absent-mindedly shuffling his deck to keep himself busy as Yusei strode forward with Rally, one smirking while the other looked on impassively. "So Naruto you are happy with your new deck?" The blonde nodded hesitantly as he prepared himself to leave the duo to their own devices, it wasn't long before another voice shouted out interrupting the blonde's retreat home.
"Duel me Uzumaki." Rally yelled aloud, while Naruto never stopped walking away. "That's right Uzumaki, run away from my challenge like the coward you are." Naruto froze midstep as the word coward came form Rally's mouth. It was a little known fact that you could get Naruto to do almost anything for a bowl of Ramen, and take up almost any challenge with uttering one simple word, Rally hit home with calling him a coward. "Fine, I accept your challenge Rally." The boys looked at each other for a brief second as the challengers duel disk hummed to life and the challenged fiddled with his duel disk trying to activate it like his opponent just had. The confused look elicited a fit of giggles from Rally, and one brief chuckle from Yusei. "You're supposed to activate the duel disk by pressing inserting your deck into it, then you press the button on its underside got it?" It hummed to life in the blonde's hand as his eyes brightened at the simplest of tasks. "So are we going to duel, or are you going to sit there like a child, admiring your only accomplishment for today." The small flash of red emanated from his duel disk, before both shuffled their decks and shot five cards into each of their hands. "DUEL!"
Naruto 4000
Rally 4000
Rally drew his sixth card and began the duel.
"I'll set one monster face-down and one card face-down as well and that ends my turn." The tension rose as Naruto drew his card and frowned still trying to figure what could he possibly do. "I set one card facedown and activate the field spell Konoha (Konoha a field spell card, that gives all Ninja type (ninja type are only exclusive to the elemental nation collection.) monsters an increase in 500 attack points. All cards with Hokage in its name cannot be destroyed in battle while this card is on the field.) and end my turn." Yusei grimaced at the lack of cards Naruto had on the field, like he imagined with Rally as his opponent Naruto was going to need more than what he had on his field now.
"Like I thought all talk and no action, just like Jack." Rally's eyes sought approval from Yusei, but all that was reflected in those orbs was one of anger at the topic of Jack Atlas. The next card was drawn and Rally smirked at the luck today was bringing, first the chip he "found" and now his deck was just on fire today. "I flip summon Genex controller(Level 3, Dark attribute, Machine type tuner Att1400/Def1200) to the field and Now I'll summon to the field Genex Neutron(Level 4, Light Attribute, Machine type During the end phase of the turn this card was Normal Summoned: You can add 1 Machine-Type Tuner monster from your Deck to your hand.)" Yusei's face turned from one of impassiveness to just pure disbelief, Rally's offense was just becoming that one meant to destroy the competition, no subtlety at all. "Now I'll attack you directly with Genex controller." As the holographic monster shot forward, Naruto's instinct kicked in crossing his arms in front of him and watched as the hologram passed right through him and his life-points decreasing at the attack.
Naruto's LP 4000-1400=2600
"See now that's what I'm talking about, Uzamaki stir fry coming right up. Attack him directly Genex Neutron!" Rally's eyes brightened as the attack hit home as Naruto's Life-points decreased to 800. "I activate Ninja Registration(Ninja Registration, quick play spell card. This card can only be activated when your opponent attacks directly and deals 1500 or more damage to your life points. You may summon one ninja type monster equal to or less than the damage you took from your hand.) and I'll summon to the field Iruka Umino(Iruka Umino Level 5, Attribute Earth, Ninja type Att1600/Def1600. If this card is special summoned to the field you may search your deck for any level four or less ninja type monster with 1200 hundred or less attack from your deck, to your field in attack mode.) Now that he's special summoned to the field I can search my deck for a monster."
Naruto's eyes scanned through the deck before taking one card into his hand and letting the duel disk's automatic shuffler doing it's job. "Alright say hello to Hinata Hyuuga.(Hinata Hyuuga, Level 3, Attribute Light, Ninja type, Att800/Def1600. If this card destroys a monster as a result of battle and sends it to the graveyard, then you may summon one monster with Hyuuga in its name, from your hand. During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent. This card cannot be equiped with any equip spell cards.) The newest addition to the field did nothing to intimidate Rally, instead it gave him more of a reason to defeat his opponent. "Since your done with that combo, let me show you my next trick." His face-down spell revealed the card Double Summon (You can Normal Summon 1 additional time this turn. You can only gain this effect once per turn.) "Now I summon to the field, Treeborn Frog.(Level 1, Attribute Water, Aqua Type, Att100/Def100. During your Standby Phase, if this card is in your Graveyard and you do not control a face-up "Treeborn Frog": You can Special Summon this card. You must control no Spell/Trap Cards to activate and to resolve this effect.)"
Yusei anticipated what was next to come, as Naruto stared off at the card confused at the purpose of such a weak card. "Now I will Synchro summon to the field Genex Ally Axel(Level 8, Dark Attribute, Machine/synchro type, Att2600/Def2000. 1 "Genex" Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters. Once per turn, you can discard 1 card to select 1 Level 4 or lower Machine-Type monster from your Graveyard, and Special Summon it. The ATK of that monster is doubled until the End Phase, but it cannot attack your opponent directly. Remove that monster from play during your End Phase.) and with that I'll call it a turn." The turn ended as Treeborn frog summoned itself into defense position and he added a Genex controller to his from the deck. Naruto stared at the lumbering monster, his thoughts became clearer as he glanced at his hand and then at the empty spell/trap card zone this was the chance he was hoping for thanks to the cards he had on the field, as the next card he drew slipped into his hand.
"Alright ready for my Uzumaki barrage?" His confidence at an all time high as he looked on at everyone. "Alright I summon to the field Arashi Kazama.(Arashi Kazama, Level 4, Attribute Wind, Ninja type, Att1500/Def 1400. If a card on the field that is a ninja type monster is destroyed as a result of battle instead of sending that card to the graveyard you may remove this card from play instead.)" They all stared in disbelief at what was transpiring even getting a few chuckles from Rally. "Is that it, because if that's the Uzamaki barrage then I'm so scared." The laughter stopped from Rally's frame, as the red-head began watching Naruto's next move. "I activate the Will of Fire(Will of fire, A normal spell card, When this card is activated all cards on your field receive a x100 points in Att and Def for each ninja on both players fields.) "Now if your dumb, that means I gain a three hundred point bonus. Now Go Hinata attack that frog." The Lavender haired Hyuuga destroyed the frog with the simplest grace, as her face became a small blush and Rally's life points began to drop.
Rally's Life points 4000-1500(800+500+300-100)=2500
"Now time for the real deal, I summon to the field Hiashi Hyuuga.(Hiashi Hyuuga, Level 7, Attribute Light, Ninja type, Att2100/Def2400. While this card is on the field all monsters with Hyuuga in their name gain 500 Def points except this card. During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent. This card cannot be equiped with any equip spell cards.)" The cards eyes stared forward at the lumbering giant. "Now I attack your Genex Ally Axel with Hiashi Hyuuga.(Axel Att 2600 vs. Hiashi Att2100+500)" The cards exchanged blows before both monsters shattered into pieces and swiftly sent into their respective graveyards. If Rally didn't catch on by now, Naruto was sure that he would realize it now. "Iruka attack him directly." The life points lowered to a staggering one hundred points, and then finally zero as Arashi's attack hit home.
Naruto Uzumaki Victor, remaining Life points 800
The realization started to settle in on the boy as he obtained his first victory. "How, what dammit he just got lucky." The protests just came spewing out of Rally's mouth, as his defeat to a beginner no less settled in. "Rally, the duel was fair and square and you know it. Naruto since that was your first duel and all you can keep the disk as a token of your victory." Yusei's face didn't change, but inwardly he was smirking at the hyperactive idiot jumping up and down at the joy of getting a present for his first victory, before heading towards the stairs this time leaving the two alone. "That kids something Rally, I mean he had no idea what was going to happen if you had another turn." Their eyes met before nodding to each other, letting each other know that Naruto could be trusted. "We'll ask him tomorrow to help us out with that little project." Yusei motioned towards the tarp hanging over his D-cycle.
The two never noticed the girlish figure holding her arm in phantom pain as she watched the duel in its entirety. "Dammit why now, the pain it hurts so much." The cries didn't go unnoticed as Naruto went over to see Akiza Izinski holding back tears in the pain she was in. "Hey are you alright, you look like you're in pain." As soon as Naruto's voice reached the ears of Akiza she bolted, leaving a very confused Naruto by himself. His confusion faded as he began his trip home wondering who the girl was and hoping she was going to be alright. His trip reached its inevitable end as he returned home letting his duel disk rest in the moonlight, as he hung his jacket and going to bed for tonight.
Sector Maximum Security prison
The cell was dark as young Xander sat down talking to what seemed to be nothing. "Nibi be quiet it's the only way to get out of the slums unless you have a better idea?" The bridge of his nose held a yellow mark, a brand like many of the other prisoners worn on their face. His emerald car-like eyes shone in the moon light, darting back and forth, before eventually settling down and in his eyes stood a chibified version of the Nekomata he had come into possession with. It's tails flickering back and forth, sometimes disappearing in a flicker of flames and reappearing on the opposite side it disappeared. "Such ignorance in front of your superior, and I was sure you knew better by now." His eyes settled on the cat before they both came to a mutual understanding. "We need a new deck now they confiscated everything , but you of course." His eyes panned away staring at the card placed on his pillow. The neko disappeared and that's when he knew he had company.
Rex Goodwin considered himself an outstanding role model to all the people in satellite. His Gray suit stood out among the rabble in the prison, the murmurs of said rabble grew louder as he approached the room of Xander Nii. His powdered white gloves gripped the door handle opening it ever so slowly, the prisoner didn't rise to the obvious taunt, as he remained on his bed staring at his frame. "Mister Nii, a pleasure to finally meet you face to face." The two stared each other down, one looking a cat ready to pounce, and the other like a condor waiting for the slightest mistake to swoop down on its prey.
"You have me at a loss, you know my name but sadly I don't know yours." Goodwin smirked at the gall of the prisoner before him, not many insulted him without some sort of punishment. "I believe that request is reasonable enough, my name is Rex Goodwin and I'm the director of Sector security of both sections of our fair city." His eyes beamed with approval as the Young Nii tried to understand the implications of what he said. "So I take it your here to turn me and change my ways thanks to the outstanding list of crimes I've committed?" Emerald and silver eyes met again before Goodwin started motioning himself to follow him, and the young man did just before slipping Nibi into his back pocket.
"Your crimes are ones of resisting arrest and causing minor wounds to our fine police force are exaggerated, those wounds were caused by negligent driving on both parties and from the lack of any medical treatment on your part tells me they are to blame for the damage they sustained." his eyes never peeled back to Xander following him, their was more to the injuries than reckless driving, but no one could prove a "hologram" caused their injuries so the officers pinned the crime of reckless endangerment on him instead. "I wish to give you a second chance, young Xander I see potential in you like many other great duelists. I believe you could reach star status among the current king Jack Atlas. All you need to do is listen to a long-winded speech and even do a simple report with a nobody reporter about to make the scoop of the century, and you can be on your way to the big leagues."
Xander was no idiot, countless sector security members could attest to that statement. This bargain Goodwin was presenting, had to have some sort of catch he was sure of that thanks to countless deals he'd already made in his life. "Oh and your first pro league duel will be in my own personally built and funded tournament, all I ask in return is to duel at your fullest potential boy nothing more." His mind had already been made up, as Goodwin carried on if the idiot wanted him to set him free then he wouldn't complain in fact he would ride his coat tails for as long as possible if necessary. "Well Director Goodwin you drive a striking deal, and I'm most inclined to agree if you could get my deck back into my possession." It was as the director had planned, as his right arm reached into his coat pocket pulling out the deck. "Then I believe we have an arrangement then. My assistant Lazar will handle the rest, now just interview with the nice reporter I brought here and everything will be on its way." Goodwin left Xander standing in front of a door before venturing off farther into the detention center.
Xander's reaction was one of surprise as the door opened, as the door opened introducing himself to Goodwin's appointed reporter. "Um I was expecting someone much uglier here, instead of this. His hands motioned towards the girl standing before him. The girl was an average height with grey-colored eyes covered by a pair of trifocal glasses. The black hair she had that pointed down in the shape of an arrow. Her outfit consisted of a blue and white striped shirt which was covered by an orange vest. She also wore a bag that hangs over her shoulder, to go along with the blue knee-length pants with a belt and orange sneakers.
"Hello mister Nii, my name is Carly Carmine, I'll be interviewing you today." Any tension that Xander lacked seemed to be come back in full force thanks to the brief introduction with someone of the opposite gender, that wanted to talk to him. "Well lets begin then, the first question I have is what do you have to say for your crimes against the people in new domino city." Carly's eyes flinched as he sat down just across from her, it was unnerving as his eyes skimmed over her face, and she visibly flinched as he took her glasses away and set them down in front of her. "Their that is so much better, it makes me feel at ease staring into those beautiful eyes of yours.. My reply to these horrid crimes, would be I'm sorry for any damage I have caused to this fair city. I lashed out in anger and harmed many fellow citizens, I do not ask for forgiveness but I plead for a second chance to make up for my mistakes and wrong doings." While Carly was flabbergasted even a little teary eyed at the emotion he poured into his response, Xander just did what came natural to him in any of these types of situations, he listened to the million year old hell cat on his shoulder.
The questions went on, some questions rose his character from the cold callous reports in Carly's mind. Xander's mind was more focused on miss Carmine before him, her questions weren't really that stunning just the conviction she said them with was more of a welcome surprise. "Now the last question Xander, if you were to duel the King Jack Atlas, what advice would you want to give him for the duel?" His eyes hardened ignoring the whispers of advice Nibi sent to his ears, just gazing at Carly who just shrank under his gaze. "My reply to that is easy, don't treat me like some nobody or I'll beat his smug ass in to the ground, in fact I am going to do just that in Director Goodwin's Little tournament count on it miss Carmine." Her eyes didn't bat as the emerald eyes stared into hers one last time. "Off the record of course, but you have lovely eyes indeed I'm glad I made you take them off." He bade the now flustered and blushing Carly a farewell, leaving her alone as he left the room. "Nibi we got a lot of work to do if we are going to do win this little get together now aren't we." All he received was a yawn as he walked through the gates of the sector security prison. "I guess a catnap couldn't hurt either."
Author's Note: AND done, How do you like those apples, anyways thanks to everything that is said and done I hope you review my wonderful work of art. Also Hot damn 364 views with 16 favs and followers I must be doing something right I guess. I have to thank Masane Amaha King again for this wonderful challenge of a fanfic, this is by far the easiest one I've ever done. Also thanks for the wonderful review from Masane Amaha king. A very special thank you to daniel 29 for the help with the two biju cards I requested help with and he was the only one to reply, so I will ask again this time seeking help for Sanbi card.
Now if your reading this you are probably wondering a few things I imagine well let's get down to the matter of the subject. First and foremost Naruto Uzumaki is the main character in the story, no matter what may happen in the story Naruto is the main guy and no one else, no Xander or Yusei will change that.
Second the reason I made an obvious blatant Oc was because well I needed someone more along the lines a rival to Naruto in different ways, but mainly lacking in the not give a damn for personal safety department, also I forgot to mention his eyes were cat-like so blah.
Thrid this a Naruto/Akiza fic not a harem because I can't see Akiza sharing or Naruto cheating, but other pairings are possible.
Fourth I am going definitely into the dark signer saga and a good possibility the WRGP as well, because I'm that awesome. Fifth I'm not going to abuse the Kyuubi card or give Naruto any sort of chakra based abilities, unless it falls along the lines of him healing at advanced rate and nothing more, chakra doesn't exist and it doesn't need to for this story.
Sixth because the child's name is Arashi instead of Naruto is because well that would be so confusing of it was his name in the story the Konoha cards are based off and he had himself on a damn card, because that would inflate my ego ten fold thier.
Finally the Ninja type is a legit thing and will stay because it would just be a bother to describe the cards in a different matter.
Now on to some RWR&R(Reading while resting and relaxing) because my hands starting to get a major cramp thanks to this chapter, and Rally's deck was based on one of the ones I found he had in one of the Yugi-oh games, so it's legit. See ya in a week or two and expect a Naruto and Yusei based chapter next with no Xander appearing as these next are based off Yusei and Naruto's trip to New domino city, and expect our favorite witch to get more screen time then this chapter. Review to help me gain strength and here's the Konoha Cards in this chapter of the story once more.
