And now to begin, Duel Datteybayo!
Chapter 5: The Kingdom is open, time to duel!
General POV
All the best duelists from around the world had come. Some came to earn honor, to help a loved one, or for many they came for themselves. Naruto looked around at the gathered masses, he had to admit it was nice to be back on Duelist Kingdom again. He had moved out from his father's household when he turned thirteen to begin his career and start looking for Kami's chosen one in this world. He was able to support himself through his professional dueling career and his career as a pro skateboarder. (A.N. I know I haven't done any chapters or parts of a chapter where I describe his skills but I'm gonna do that after the Duelist Kingdom arc) He had been lucky really, he had been at the right place at the right time. He had entered an amateur skating competition, and had pulled off some moves that no one there, or anywhere for that matter, had seen before. There had apparently been a famous manager in the skating world who had been looking for new talent and after that he had started to get sponsors almost immediately.
But anyway, he had missed Duelist Kingdom. It had been his home when he came to this world for six years, and he had come to love it as much as he had loved Konoha, maybe more. Playing pranks on the guards with other guards and his father, reading, learning about this new world, and bonding with his adoptive father. This island had truly become a new home for him, and he loved and would protect it like he had tried and done with Konoha. Naruto stood there in a daze and thinking about his life here, when he felt a dark presence from the woods and saw a silver, spiky haired kid over in the woods just out of everyone's sight. Naruto focused his negative emotion sensing ability, form Kurama, even further and he actually felt the dark presence from something under the boy's shirt. It was focused in a ring shape, Naruto suddenly remembered the story Pegasus had told him when he first came to this world, about how he had gotten the Millennium Eye. He had said that there had been other items in the tablet from which the eye had come from. He had said that there had been a ring shaped pendant in the stone. If Naruto had to guess he would say that the kid had this Millennium Ring, and that's where he sensed the evil presence. Naruto decided not to do anything about the boy and his dark Millennium Item for now. But he would deal with it if it posed any harm or issues to his charge: Yugi.
Naruto turned back to the balcony that overlooked the area where all the duelists were gathered. They were waiting to be addressed by his father, and considering he knew how his father thought this was gonna be one heck of a grand spectacle. And with that Pegasus stepped out from the castle onto the balcony and addressed his waiting and adoring crowd of fans and duelists. He knew that his father was always one for theatrics, it scarily reminded him of Jiraiya truthfully. But that was a good thing...in a way.
5 minutes later (after speech)
Naruto looked around, he was trying to figure out what he should. He could go after someone or someone's that were weak, fight strong opponents, or he could go with Yugi and get his Star Chips at night from the Eliminators by beating them. Looking around Naruto saw that Yugi and his friends were chasing after Weevil, who had run off into the forest. Naruto had memorized that placement of all the duel platforms on the island, and also the field power bonuses they gave. So he knew based on the direction that Weevil had run that there was a platform that way that gave Bug type monsters a boost. 'These kids are gonna be the death of me, I can already tell. At least that Tea girl seems beautiful and luckily for them smart,' and with that Naruto ran off to see if Yugi and his friends needed help, and try to tell Yugi the new rules before it was too late. And with that Naruto took off for the way that Naruto saw Yugi, Tea, and the others go.
Having finally caught up to Yugi, Naruto realized that he was too late to help him. He saw Yugi and Weevil on the duel platform dueling. He focused mainly on Yugi and saw the slightly distressed look on his face from finding out about the field power bonus… the hard way. He switched over to Weevil and saw his disgusting smirk of triumph. If Yugi wasn't dueling at that moment he was pretty sure he would've knocked the pain in the ass out onto his ass. "Yugi, be careful. The field that you are on is for earth element monsters," Naruto yelled out to the kid. Having suddenly been yelled at Yugi quickly turned to Naruto. When he saw who it was all he did was smile and nod at the new information from a new possible friend.
"Thank you Naruto," was all he said before he turned back to the duel at hand. Everyone else saw Naruto and ran over to him.
"Hey, how do you know that Naruto," asked Joey. He'd seen Naruto duel on TV and beat Weevil, so he knew that Naruto was skilled.
"Well a few reasons, 1: my father designed everything here so he made me learn all the rules for this tournament. And 2: as winner as the National Tournament when I fought Weevil I was given the new rules as a prize," Naruto told Joey. Naruto inspected the boy that he had saved from the ocean when he had helped Yugi get back his Exodia cards. He saw that the kid had a slight bulge in his jacket pocket in the shape of cards, so he was pretty sure the kid was a duelist. Then he remembered that this was the kid that Yugi had given one of his star chips to, so that he could board the boat.
"So you're the idiot that jumped off the side of the boat to get Yugi's Exodia cards back right," he inquired to Joey. At this Joey puffed up his chest and nodded his head proudly, he thought he was gonna be praised for helping his friend like he had. He was wrong. At this Naruto looked at the guy and swung his fist hitting him on the head, "you idiot, next time you do something like that I'm gonna let you die!" Joey pulled his head out of the foot deep hole that it became buried in and looked up at Naruto dumbly and nodded. "But good job trying to help your friend, but don't do it again."
(The duel between Yugi and Weevil happens pretty much exactly as in the show)
"How, how could I lose! I'm the National Championship runner-up," Weevil cried out in shock and sorrow. Yugi walked over to Weevil and took the star chips that were bet, now having a total of three star chips.
"You lost because you win by cheating and lying Weevil, that is not the makings of a true champion," Yugi told the bug duelist in disgust. Weevil had tried to destroy some of the precious cards his grandfather had given him in confidence. The fact that without Naruto's help he probably would have lost most of the Exodia cards and that Joey had been hurt because he was trying to get said cards back, did not help matters.
"And I'll be relieving you of your dueling gauntlet," Joey said as he took off Weevils glove and put his one star chip into one of the slots. With that Weevil fell over in shock and despair. He, the runner-up in the National Championships, beaten by a noob who had probably gotten lucky when he beat Kaiba.
Naruto leaned and looked at Weevil, while drawing on some of Kurama's chakra to give him a more demonic look to get his point across he said, "Weevil if I see, hear, or even think that you are using less than upstanding methods to win duels again I'm gonna gut you like a fish, got it?" Weevil pissed himself as he heard Naruto threaten him with those blood red demonic eyes, all he could do was nod before he passed out.
"Hey, what did you say to him Naruto," asked Tea. She hadn't heard what he said really, just some growlish-whispers, and then Weevil passed out after he had pissed himself. She wanted to know what he could have said to get that kind of reaction from the pint-sized bug duelist.
"Trust me Tea-chan, I don't think you want to know. Now I'll call some guards to take Weevil to a boat to get him of this island and we can move on, ne," Naruto told them, as he tilted his head at the 'ne' part cutely. Tea just stood there blushing up a storm, that would make Hinata proud if she was there, and nodded. She shouldn't be having this strong of a reaction from the blonde/ red-head she had just met, even if he was unbelievably handsome.
"Well, let's go," yelled Joey. With that they all started to walk in a random direction for a little bit, with Joey admiring himself with the dueling gauntlet, Tristan walking with his hands in his pockets with a far off look in his eyes, Yugi looking through his cards trying to decide whether or not he should put Exodia back into his deck, Tea admiring the natural beauty around her while stealing glances at a certain blonde/ red-head, and finally Naruto was walking working on his skateboard which he had taken off his back to do maintenance and upgrade the magnetics within it with some new ideas he had and some seals. Eventually after an hour of walking they came to a field that bordered the ocean, forest, and the mountainy area off to the north. There they found a multitude of young duelists battling it out, in hopes of getting into the castle to battle Pegasus and win the grand prize.
"Alright I think that it's time the great Joey Wheeler, future champion duelist extraordinaire gets himself some more star chips, don't you think guys," Joey shouted with pleasure.
Everyone looked up from whatever they were doing/ thinking about and said, "huh, did you say something Joey?"
In the Narutoverse
Kakashi sitting behind the Kage desk for Konoha suddenly felt so proud of his old student ha hadn't seen in years: Naruto. He wiped away a tear, as Gai came in and they began their never ending routine.
Back with everyone in the Yugioh-verse
Joey after having heard them not even hear him face-faulted. When he picked himself up he went into a corner and cried, while muttering, "mean friends, don't even listen to me proclaim my awesomeness." Yugi and Tea walked over and started to pat him on the back telling him it was alright, while Naruto and Tristan stood and looked at each other and then back thinking the same thing 'idiot.'
"No way, there's no way you won. You never even looked at your cards," everyone in the group heard someone yell. They turned to find that there was a random duelist over by a duel arena yelling at Mai for winning a duel.
"Suck it up you big baby, if you're not gonna follow through with the Duelist Kingdom rules then I'll go get some of the island ref's and you can deal with them instead of just giving me the star chips without the pain you'll receive from them," said Mai to the duelist she had beaten. 'Honestly these guys are starting to get tedious. "Just give me the star chips you big baby," she said in finality. The guy relented, not wanting to get the crap beaten out of him by the oversized ref's for the tournament, and gave her the star chips he owed her.
The group stood there wondering what the hell, when Mai saw them and walked over to them smirking. "Hey there losers, looking for a duel," Mai asked as she tossed the star chips in her hand up and down before deciding to secure them in her gauntlet.
"Hey Mai, yeah we were looking for someone to start Joey off on," Yugi replied to the busty blonde good-naturedly.
"Well I just finished with a duel I've got and itching for another duel sooo….," she trailed off as she looked at the group of friends and Naruto. She began at Yugi, moved to Naruto (and lingered there for a minute), then looked at Joey. "I challenge you Joey!"
Everyone except Naruto stood there in shock at what she said, honestly he didn't care. He had already heard about Mai's scent trick in the past, and knew that he wouldn't be fazed by it one bit. But the fact that she wanted to duel Joey did not bode well for the amateur duelist. "I heard you and Yugi talking on the boat about you each only having one star chip, so I'm gonna knock your amateur ass out of the tournament now and get an easy star chip. So Joey you gonna man up and face me or hide behind Yugi and that sexy blonde champion forever, so what's it gonna be Joey?"
Joey stood there in shock, then gained a determined look on his face and said, "alright Mai you're on, Let's Duel!"
