Hello all Storm here with a new story! And one that's actually been in the works for a long time, but I've finally gotten around to it. As here we'll be seeing Naruto once more taking a trip to the world of Duel Monsters, but far into the future as he'll be swinging into action in Arc-V! So, without further ado.
I own nothing
'So, this is it then.' Thought Temujin as he sat down in the center of the Space-Time Hole he'd just opened up, while around him the Energy of Gelel was being sucked inside before it could destroy half the continent.
Temujin couldn't help but find it ironic, the power he'd spent nearly his entire life searching for, he's now sacrificing his own life to destroy it. It's honestly something he never thought he'd do, but after the revelation of Haido's deceit and lies, seeing just how dangerous the Vein of Gelel was for himself. Temujin knew that it needed to be destroyed so that no one else could ever use it for evil again, and as atonement for his own actions he'll give his life to make sure it happens.
'I only wish…I could have helped create a utopia.' Temujin thought, wishing that he could have seen the creation of the utopia he and his friends dreamed of, one where there'd be no more wars or fighting, only peace and hope.
The knight did nothing as the platform began breaking apart underneath him, letting himself falling into the Space-Time Hole. Remembering when Haido first took him in, his hand held out and the kind smile that he now knew was nothing but a lie, and the promise of creating a better world.
"Come here."
"That's enough." Temujin muttered as he closed his eyes and prepared for the end, his mind then turning to the person who helped show him the truth and how important his friends truly were.
'Naruto…perhaps you will be the one to create the utopia we all dreamed of. Good luck, my friend.' Thought Temujin, believing Naruto would be the one to create a true utopia while putting an end to violence and war.
But suddenly, Temujin felt himself being grabbed his arm before he could fall into the Space-Time Hole, making him look up only to be shocked to see Naruto had grabbed him. Seeing the whiskered blonde had created dozens of clones forming a makeshift chain of them.
"Temujin, whatever you do, don't let go!" Naruto shouted, with Temujin not believing anyone could be this reckless.
"What are you, stupid?! You'll only get yourself killed too!" Said Temujin, refusing to have both of them end up dying.
"Will you shut up, I don't wanna hear it!" Retorted Naruto, grunting as his clone chain swung around as the Energy of Gelel swirled around them, before shouting as they began pulling Temujin away from the Space-Time Hole.
"Stop now, you'll only get pulled in with me!" Temujin yelled, trying to make Naruto let go and save himself.
"Forget it, I'm not gonna let you die like this, you hear me! I…I've lost too many friends already, and I don't plan on losing another!" Naruto said, refusing to lose any more friends no matter what the risk was, he wouldn't give up.
With Temujin looking at him in surprise and disbelief before he grabbed hold of Naruto's wrist as well, feeling a new determination to survive flowing through him. The Uzumaki nodded in relief that Temujin wasn't going to let himself die, before having his clones start pulling them up away from the Space-Time Hole. Only to suddenly grunt when he felt a piece of debris slam into his side, making Naruto look around only for his eyes to widen when he saw multiple pieces of debris were flying straight at them.
"Hold on!" Naruto said before he began pulling Temujin up, giving a shout as he threw the knight up above him passing him to his clones.
"What're you doing?! Naruto!" Temujin yelled in shock when Naruto broke free from his clones and jumped to a piece of debris, sticking to it with his Chakra.
"Just keep going! I'll be right behind!" Said Naruto, jumping to more debris, while his clones began pulling Temujin out of the vortex.
Naruto gritted his teeth as he kept jumping from debris to debris to escape the Space-Time Hole, while Temujin tried getting free of the clones to help him. Only to soon be grabbed and pulled onto a ledge by Kahiko.
"Stop, you can't go back in there! You'll only get pulled back in!" Kahiko said, holding Temujin back.
"Let me go, old man! Naruto's still in there!" Said Temujin, refusing to let his friend die in his place after risking his life like that.
"I told you, I'd be right behind you!" Naruto yelled, jumping to another piece of debris where they could see him, much to their relief that he wasn't sucked in.
Only for their relief to turn into horror just as Naruto jumped off towards the ledge, a large piece of debris slammed down on top of him. Making the Uzumaki cry out as he was falling into the Space-Time Hole.
"NO!" Temujin shouted, shoving past Kahiko to go in after Naruto only for Kahiko to manage to grab and hold him down.
"Stop! It'll be suicide to go in there, now! Naruto wouldn't want you to throw your life away, that's why he went to save you!" Said Kahiko, stopping the knight from trying to jump back in to save the whiskered blonde.
"Let go! I need to save him! Naruto!" Yelled Temujin as he tried to break free from Kahiko, despite knowing he was right.
There's nothing he could do to save the Uzumaki.
Neither of them being able to do anything, only looking in horror and sadness as Naruto fell into the Space-Time Hole along with the last of the Vein of Gelel. The two watching as the blackhole began shrinking and sealing itself shut until soon it was completely gone, taking Naruto and the Vein of Gelel with it. Leaving Temujin and Kahiko alone, forced to accept what had just happened.
Naruto Uzumaki…was gone.
*Standard Dimension*
*Later*
"Owwww…" Naruto groaned as he slowly began regaining consciousness, feeling like he went on another ride with Gamabunta and only to then be stepped on by him.
'Ugh…is this what Granny Tsunade feels like after a night of drinking?' Thought Naruto while bringing his arm over his head, wincing as even just moving his arm felt taxing combined with the pounding feeling in his head.
Taking a few moments to recover, Naruto moved his arm to try and see where he was. Only to immediately groan and cover his eyes when he saw the blinding light from the sun.
'Well…I know I'm outside at least…yay.' Naruto thought as he slowly opened his eyes again, shielding them from the sun as he looked around at where he was.
Before his eyes widened in shock when he saw he was in the middle of a desert with nothing in sight as far as he could see, only an endless ocean of sand.
'What…what hell?! How did I end up in the Land of Wind?!' Thought Naruto as he scrambled to get up despite his body screaming in protest, still feeling sore and exhausted from…
The memories made Naruto stumble slightly, recalling how he'd jumped in to save Temujin from the blackhole he made to destroy the Vein of Gelel. Only to get hit by some of the debris from the cavern, separating them. With his clones pulling Temujin to safety where Kahiko grabbed him, pulling him up onto the ledge away. Far enough away, where they wouldn't get sucked into the vortex.
'But I…didn't…I fell through and…now I'm here…' Naruto thought looking around, now wondering if he really was in the Land of Wind or somewhere else.
He wasn't even sure how he's still alive right now, since Temujin believed anything that fell through the Space-Time Hole would be destroyed and that anyone who fell through would die.
'I'm still alive though, at least I'm pretty sure I'm alive since I feel tired and exhausted. But if I'm here, then what about everything else that fell through? What about the Gelel energy, that bastard Haido and those girls?' Naruto thought, having seen the bodies of Haido and those two female knights with him be sucked into the blackhole, but he didn't see any signs of the bodies.
'Were they destroyed because they were already dead, or did their bodies end up somewhere else? Maybe I just got really lucky in surviving or maybe the Space-Time Hole doesn't actually destroy what's sucked into it, instead sending it to another location?' Thought Naruto, unsure what other explanation there could be.
Before the whiskered blonde shook his head about how and why he survived. Knowing he can worry about that later after finding where he even is and how he can, hopefully, get back to the Land of Fire.
"Let's just hope I find civilization soon." Muttered Naruto as he began trekking through the desert, hoping he's going in the way of civilization.
*Timeskip-Six Days*
"Note…to…self…if I…somehow survive…this…make sure…to pack…plenty of…rations…water…and clothes…for…extremely…hot…or cold…climates…" Naruto muttered weakly as he stumbled through the desert.
He'd been walking for days now, only stopping to take short breaks, while making the most of what little rations he had last as long as he could. But he didn't have much beyond a few Soldier Pills, given how quickly everything happened from a simple mission of trying to find a pet ferret to saving the world.
'How do I keep getting into those situations?' Naruto thought to himself as he took a moment to wonder why is it that every mission he takes, he always ends up needing to fight a dictator or tyrant, save a country or the world, or save a princess or Daimyō?
Sometimes all three at the same time.
'Another note to self, if I survive this I'm asking for a vacation. A long vacation…preferably somewhere without any sand.' Thought Naruto, shaking his head as he focused back on his current situation.
He'd run out of Soldier Pills after four days of trekking through the desert, leaving him to simply try and conserve what energy he had and kept moving. Hoping he'll find a town, a village, even just a building soon for shelter. He'd even take a big enough rock with some shade, anything to get out of the heat for a moment.
Unfortunately, Naruto hadn't managed to find any form of shelter since he started walking. Forcing him to continue moving, knowing if he stopped for even a moment then it's unlikely he'll be able to keep going.
"Just…gotta keep…going…gotta…get out…of…here…need…to…get…" Muttered Naruto as he kept moving forward only to groan as he felt himself falling forward, coughing and gagging as sand got into his mouth.
'I. Hate. Sand!' Naruto thought as he tried getting back up only to collapse again when his arms could barely support his weight.
'Damn…it…I can't…I…die…not…now…someone…help…' Thought Naruto, struggling to keep his eyes open, knowing the moment he closed them then it's over.
Looking forward, Naruto hoped to see something, anything, real. Something to give him the energy to get up and keep moving. To know that he managed to reach something.
Unfortunately, no matter where he looked the only thing he saw was more sand. Much to his despair that he might actually die, here.
'Damn it…why…' Naruto thought, feeling his eyes begin to close as the heat and humidity bared down on him, sapping away what little energy he had left.
The last thing he saw before he closed his eyes was a blurry figure appear, walking towards him. Leaving Naruto unsure if it was a real person or just another mirage playing tricks on him, before he passed out. Unknown to the whiskered blonde, the person he saw was very much real as they soon reached Naruto's unconscious body. The person was wearing a long, hooded brown cloak, frowning as he knelt down beside Naruto.
"Don't worry, this is not the day you die." The person assured, despite how the boy couldn't hear them.
Before the stranger lifted Naruto's prone form up onto their shoulder and began walking forward, right towards a sandstorm that had suddenly appeared. Yet the stranger didn't hesitate as they walked into the storm. And just as quickly as they entered, the stranger and Naruto both emerged from the sandstorm, now standing just outside of a city as the stranger continued forward. Making their way to a hospital, walking inside while getting the attention of the nurse at the front desk.
"Please, this boy needs help! He's been out in the desert for days without food or water!" The stranger said in an urgent tone, making the nurse quickly call a doctor as a gurney was brought out to bring Naruto to a hospital room.
*Later*
"I may not know how or why this kid was out in the desert, but he's certainly lucky you found him when you did. Not only is he dehydrated and overheated, but with the injuries he had it's nothing short of a miracle he's still alive." The doctor said to the stranger, sitting beside Naruto's hospital bed.
The stranger merely gave a lighthearted chuckle as they looked at the Uzumaki, knowing it's more than just a miracle.
"His name is Naruto. And he's lucky the Egyptian Gods didn't wish for him to meet his end, this day." Said the stranger, knowing that this boy has a much greater role to play in the coming days.
The doctor looked at the stranger curiously while mentally filing the boy's name away before chuckling in good humor, figuring it's just a joke. Before taking his leave to check on the other patients while the boy rested. Once the doctor left, the stranger couldn't help but sigh at the reaction. Knowing what the doctor must've thought and wasn't really surprised by it.
(Play-Yu-Gi-Oh - Pharaoh Atem's Theme)
"It has been centuries since Yugi and our friends' time, even longer since my time, and everyone knew about the God Cards. I suppose it's to be expected for the Egyptian Gods to return to the realm of Myths and Legends." The stranger said before lowering his hood.
The stranger had spiky tri-colored blonde, magenta/red, and black hair, dark purple eyes, while wearing a circlet with the Eye of Wdjat on the front and large gold earrings.
If one were to see this strangers face they'd be shocked to see the first King of Games himself, Yugi Muto. But in truth this was not Yugi, instead it was perhaps his closest friend and ally and the man who helped Yugi become the Legendary Duelist he is. The man who he once shared his title of King of Games with. He had been known by many titles during that time, the Nameless Pharaoh, the Spirit of the Millennium Puzzle, Yami and many more. His true name having been lost for all time, even to himself. Only remembering it when the time was right for him to finish what he started in life and finally cross over to join his friends and family in the afterlife.
He was the son of King Aknamkanon of Egypt, the Pharaoh Atem.
Placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder Atem smiled. While he may not know everything about Naruto, he felt that he was similar to Yugi and knew just like Yugi he'll do great things.
"I know you will accomplish great things and do what is right, Naruto." Atem said before reaching into his cloak and pulled out two items, setting them on the table beside his bed.
The first being a Duel Monsters deck, the very deck he and Yugi used throughout their adventures, with some new additions with the creation of Synchro and Xyz monsters. Knowing even in this time, where dueling has grown and evolved far more than it was during Yugi's time. It will still be a formidable deck that will help guide Naruto through even the toughest of challenges. While the second item was the Millennium Puzzle, having originally been buried in the sands of Egypt after the Ceremonial Duel until Kaiba uncovered and reassembled the pieces. With Atem bringing it with him back to the afterlife, after returning one last time to help Yugi defeat the Millennium Ring-possessed Aigami.
But now…he believed Naruto would have need of the Puzzle. Knowing it will help him just as it had helped him and Yugi.
"Good luck, Naruto Uzumaki. Perhaps we will meet again, one day. Until then…trust in yourself and your deck." Atem said while putting his hand on Naruto's shoulder.
With his work completed Atem vanished a burst of golden particles, returning to the afterlife once more. The Millennium Puzzle's eye glowing for a moment before fading away, just as the doctor and nurse returned. Only to be confused when they saw the stranger was gone, even more so at the items left behind.
*Timeskip-One Year*
'Maiami City. I'm finally here.' Naruto thought as he stepped off the plane, an excited grin on his face at having finally arrived.
The whiskered blonde having not changed much since his arrival in this new world, aside from having grown taller and changing his clothes. While he now wore black shoes, dark blue pants, a belt to hold his deck holster, a burnt orange shirt, and a dark blue jacket over it. All while the Millennium Puzzle hung from its chain around his neck along with a backpack slung over his shoulder, having a few other supplies inside it, including his Duel Disk.
'Still hard to believe a year has already passed since I arrived here.' Naruto thought while looking up at the sky, thinking over what's happened since waking up in that hospital room.
At first, when he learned he was in a new world, Naruto had been depressed and saddened that he'd likely never be able to return to Konoha again. But over time his sadness eventually faded away with Naruto even finding himself relieved to be in this new world.
He no longer had people hating and fearing him, he no longer had to work himself to the bone to get people to notice him, to earn their approval and recognition. He also no longer had to go on missions that usually ended with him nearly dying. Even if he did feel good at all the people he was able to save on them, he could've done without nearly dying or ending up in the hospital afterwards all the time. Not to mention, he didn't have to worry about being hunted down by S-rank Missing-Nin anymore either. For once in his life Naruto felt true happiness, he just wished it didn't require being sent to a different world to happen.
Plus after some time, Naruto came to realize his friends in Konoha weren't really his friends.
Sure he hung out with Shikamaru, Chōji, and Kiba when they ditched class together, and though Sasuke and Sakura were his teammates, they weren't really his friends. Considering they always made fun of him when he failed at something and hung the fact that he was the deadlast over his head. Not to mention they'd laugh at his dream of becoming Hokage or never tried speaking in his defense whenever he was being put down, if they weren't putting him down in the first place.
Naruto had just been so desperate to have friends that he ignored the fact they all only saw him as a loudmouth loser.
'Even if things had been starting to get better, I was always still the one left out.' Thought Naruto, having not liked the realization, but accepted that he had always been separate from the rest of the Rookies, even his own teammates.
Before shaking his head as he continued on his way, having come to Maiami City for one specific reason and one reason only…to join a Duel School.
Having learned about the game Duel Monsters after waking up in the hospital, finding the deck and Millennium Puzzle the stranger who brought him to the hospital left him. With the Uzumaki finding the game pretty fun and cool, though also having no idea how to play it.
Leading him to learn more about it, along with the new world he was in, while he was recovering in Egypt. Which he discovered was to be the birth place of Duel Monsters, where Pegasus J. Crawford took inspiration from the Stone Tablets that legends said were used by Ancient Pharaohs in what were known as Shadow Games to create what would eventually go on to become Duel Monsters. Legends, that Naruto was quick to learn, were in fact very much true.
With another interesting thing he learned was how in recent years, a new popular form of dueling was made called Action Duels. A form of Dueling that also involved performing tricks and parkour on an Action Field, where the terrain is modified using a Field Spell Card. Making the Duel more interesting and allowing the Duelists to move around, even interact with their monsters and ride them. It was something that really excited Naruto, knowing it's something he'd definitely be good at with his Ninja training. With him only needing to learn how Action Duels worked. Leading to his decision to travel to Maiami City, where Action Duels first originated from to enter a Duel School that taught Duelists everything they'd need to know about dueling and Action Duels.
And Naruto already knew the perfect Duel School for him to enroll at.
'You Show Duel School, get ready for your newest student!' Naruto thought, making his way to the You Show Duel School.
Before Naruto looked to the side when he heard a chirping sound, smiling when he saw Kuriboh appear beside him.
"Are you excited too, huh, Kuriboh?" Naruto asked, with the small Duel Spirit bouncing in the air making positive noises.
Being eager to be able to take part in duels again, especially with how much dueling has evolved since he dueled alongside Yugi and Atem. And from what Naruto's learned of Action Duels, now the monsters won't just be holograms but will be as real as their duelists and even move around the field and interact with objects. Something that made Kuriboh excited for the chance to help out more than with just his special ability.
"Lots of us are excited to be part of duels again! Even better, we'll really be part of the action!" Said a voice as Apprentice Illusion Magician appeared alongside Kuriboh while sporting an excited smile on her face.
She was among the more excited monsters in Naruto's deck to take part in duels due to her card having been made long after Yugi's time, leaving her to only hear about the adventures he and his friends had from those that had been part of his and Atem's deck. Much to her annoyance at missing out on so many adventures and saving the world. Though now she's getting her chance to finally show what she can do.
"Don't worry, all of you will be getting a chance to be part of a duel." Naruto said, knowing plenty of the monsters in his deck were eager to take on powerful duelists.
"Just don't forget to not rush into challenging any opponent. There are sure to be many powerful duelists in this city." Black Luster Soldier said as he appeared next.
Aware that with how much dueling has changed, there were much more powerful cards that could likely even make the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon look weak in comparison. Something that had been a blow to the pride for many of the first Duel Spirits to exist. That many that their cards became irrelevant after enough time had passed with newer, stronger cards taking their place.
Though it also relieved many when new cards were made to support them or even newer versions for some. Giving them new abilities and greater power.
"Agreed. It would also be best if we remain on guard for any dangers in the city." Stated Buster Blader as he appeared as well with Buster Whelp also materializing flying beside his friend and father-figure, chirping in agreement.
Even if the city looked peaceful, even utopic, they could never be too careful in a new place. Especially one where dueling had such a large influence and even more so with how the Pharaoh believed it important enough to give Naruto the Millennium Puzzle.
"You think we'll be targeted by someone?" Naruto asked with a frown, not wanting to end up having to deal with being hunted by someone else.
"Perhaps not intentionally, perhaps not even for the Millennium Puzzle since it's doubtful anyone would even know what it truly is. And on the chance someone does recognize it, they'll most likely believe it's just a replica. But still…there seems to be…something here, a strange energy." Black Luster Soldier said while frowning, unable to shake the feeling that there was something happening in Maiami City.
"Are you sure that doesn't sound just a little paranoid? We've only just gotten here and you're already acting like the world is ending." Apprentice Illusion Magician asked, not liking how they were bringing the mood down.
"But they aren't wrong." Silent Magician said softly as she materialized beside her fellow Duel Spirits.
"You don't have the same experience yet, but some of us can feel it. An abundance of Dueling Energy is in the air, as if it's soaked into the atmosphere." Silent Magician continued, being able to feel the energy around them.
"Is that really surprising? I mean this is the place where Action Duels were born, along there being various Dueling Schools here. So it'd make sense that a lot of duels would be happening." Naruto said, knowing it wouldn't be surprising if there were both regular Duels and Actions Duels going on all over the city right now.
"Yeah, it's probably nothing and you all are just used to dealing with all kinds of dangers. Lighten up and enjoy the chance to just have fun in duels rather than for the sake of the world." Apprentice Illusion Magician said, believing that everything will be fine and they'll all have fun here.
"Perhaps it is nothing. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be ready in the event something does happen." Another voice said, making all the Duel Spirits turn to the new voice, seeing the Dark Magician himself appear.
While he might not be the strongest monster in Naruto's deck, he's the one all of them respected and/or looked up to. Given how he was both Yugi's and Atem's ace monster along with the fact that he had once been Mahad. The Pharaoh's most trusted friend and protector before sacrificing himself while fusing his Ba and Ka together, creating the Dark Magician to continue serving Atem long after he was gone.
And it's because of that trust and devotion that Atem also entrusted Mahad to return as the Dark Magician once more to help watch over and guide Naruto. A task Mahad had accepted without hesitation before returning to the living world as part of Naruto's deck. Which had also made him one of the de facto leaders of the deck, being able to get the rest of the monsters to listen and fall in line whenever the moment called for it.
"Master is right. It's better to be ready in case something happens than to be caught unaware if something does happen." Another voice added as Dark Magician Girl appeared beside her master.
Though she wasn't just Dark Magician Girl, but also Mana, another of Atem's trust friends and allies along with Mahad's student when they were alive. As like her master, Mana had merged her Ba with her Ka, the original Dark Magician Girl, at the end of her life. Knowing that there would come a day that Atem would return, as well as Mahad as the Dark Magician. And she intended to be there beside them, helping fight off the evil forces that would threaten the world. With her merging with Dark Magician Girl having not changed much given how similar their personalities were, leaving not much changed, besides her magic grew stronger from combining her Ba and Ka.
And like her master, she'd been trusted by Atem to help guide and help Naruto when he needed their help.
"Awww, none of you are any fun." Said Apprentice Illusion Magician, puffing her cheeks out as she pouted, only yelp when Mana lightly bonked her on the head with her wand.
"Now we didn't say Naruto can't enjoy dueling. That's the whole reason he came here. To learn more about dueling and have fun, that's what is most important. But it won't hurt to also be ready for anything dangerous. We wouldn't want him to get hurt." Said Mana while giving her duelist a smile as she floated behind him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Thanks Mana. And I do see your point, even if nothing does happen, it's better to be ready just in case." Naruto said, knowing that while he'd prefer to just enjoy his new life in this world, it never hurt to be prepared.
"That's all we ask Naruto." Said Mahad, the others nodded in agreement, even if they hadn't been with him long, none of the monsters in his deck wanted the Uzumaki to get hurt.
Before all of the Duel Spirits vanished returning to the deck, until only Mana was left as she stuck around a little longer.
"Just try not to worry too much Naruto, it won't do you any good if you end up stressing about something that might not happen and forget to have fun. And also try not to purposefully go looking for trouble." Mana said teasingly, given how they've all seen his memories after joining him, so she knew how often he went looking for trouble by rushing into things.
"That's not my fault…most of the time. Trouble just usually ends up finding me first." Said Naruto, knowing she's only teasing but also couldn't deny there were also plenty of times he went looking for trouble himself.
"I know, but even if trouble does show up you'll have me and the rest of your deck here to help." Said Mana while smiling at the Uzumaki, which he returned.
"Yeah, I know. Thanks Mana." Naruto replied, having no doubt they had his back if danger did show up.
"Good. Now get moving, you don't want to end up being late for your first class." Teased Mana as she returned to the deck, though not before giving Naruto a quick peck on the cheek as she vanished.
Blushing at the peck, Naruto rubbed his cheek while grumbling to himself. Not really surprised by Mana's action, given she seemed to enjoy any chance she got at teasing him.
'She knows exactly what she's doing.' Naruto thought, being able to hear the female Spellcaster giggling in his deck before falling silent.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we first start out at the end of the Stones of Gelel movie with Naruto saving Temujin from the blackhole, only to end up getting knocked into instead. Leaving Temujin and Kahiko believing Naruto has died. Unaware that rather than being destroyed, Naruto instead has landed in a new world, right in the middle of the desert of Egypt. Forcing Naruto to begin spending days walking through the desert trying to find civilization with little success.
Before we see him saved by a stranger and brought to a hospital, as we see the stranger is Atem himself. Having returned from the afterlife after Naruto's arrival in the Standard Dimension and brings him to safety. While leaving behind the deck he and Yugi used, with plenty of upgrades from how much dueling's advanced since their time, along with the Millennium Puzzle. Believing Naruto will need it in the coming days, as he then returns to the afterlife.
Next we get a year long timeskip, with Naruto arriving in Maiami City as we learn what he's done since arriving in this new world. Being left saddened after realizing what's happened, but also relief as he accepts some hard truths about his life in Konoha. Along with how he no longer has to worry about being hunted down or nearly dying on missions anymore. While also deciding to become a duelist after about Duel Monsters and Actions Duels, intending to join the You Show Duel School in Maiami.
Finally we see Naruto conversing with some of his Duel Spirits, among them being Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, with both Mahad and Mana joining him as Atem's request. With us also learning how Mana fused her own Ba and Ka together just as Mahad had done, allowing her to continue alongside her friend and master when the time came. With her also showing to be rather fond of Naruto, before he heads to You Show. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
Storm out
