Lu Yan did not activate the cover card and took the direct attack from the ninja dog.

Lu Yan LP3200 - LP1700

"I continue with the Spell Card, 'Naraku-no-jutsu', which reduces the ATK of the monsters on your field by 200."

【Naraku Sight Technique】A quick-attack spell that reduces the attack power of all monsters on the opponent's field by 200.

"I will switch Ninja Dog Blue to Defense mode."

"Copy Ninja, attack 'Millennial Soul Ida Iryu'"

The Thousand-Year Soul Ida Iryu is a very troublesome monster. If it is not eliminated this turn, its attack power will reach 3,000 points next turn.

Lu Yan watched indifferently as his monster was destroyed and entered the graveyard.

【Luyan LP1700 - LP1600】

"End of round"

Kakashi reduced Lu Yan's health to just over a thousand in one go, feeling victory was in sight, and he planned to completely defeat Lu Yan in the next round.

Kakashi, who was playing Yu-Gi-Oh! for the first time, didn't know that the life points in Yu-Gi-Oh! are a very misleading thing. There's not much difference between 4,000 points and 100 points. As long as you still have life points and can draw cards, you always have a chance to turn the tide.

So what if you have 4,000 health? It's not difficult to reduce 4,000 health in one round.

Don't be fooled by Kakashi's current higher HP; he could very well be instantly killed in the next round.

It was finally Lu Yan's turn to draw a card.

Looking at the card in his hand, Lu Yan smiled slightly: "Finally got it! Kakashi-sensei, let me show you my ace monster!"

"I activate the Spell Card 'Dark Spark Lens'."

【Dark Sparkler】Spell Card: Activate this card to Special Summon 'Dark Tiga' from your hand to the field this turn, and return 'Dark Tiga' to your hand next turn.

Lu Yan revealed a card from his hand depicting a pitch-black giant.

A dense dark power swirled around the card, putting immense pressure on Kakashi even before Dark Tiga was summoned.

"What's with this feeling? That card is actually making my heart race."

Lu Yan laughed wildly: "Come out! The strongest warrior of the ancient times—Dark Tiga!"

Dark particles danced in the air, and dark clouds filled the sky as a towering figure descended upon the Naruto world.

A terrifying pressure swept across the land. Kakashi's clone ninja on the field knelt on one knee, while his ninja dog trembled in fear.

Even Naruto and Sasuke, who were still fighting Kakashi's clones in the distance, were stunned and stood there in shock.

Chapter 64 Dark Tiga Descends

"What happened there? What is that giant?" Naruto asked in a panic.

Sasuke, standing nearby, also had a dry mouth: "How could such a monster appear in Konoha Village with such a powerful oppressive force?"

Beneath the dark clouds, churning like a black ocean, a giant stands tall on the earth.

The training ground was relatively remote, and Dark Tiga did not show any chakra reaction, which is why only a few people, including Naruto and Sasuke, saw him, and he did not attract the attention of other ninjas.

Otherwise, if Dark Tiga were summoned in a densely populated area like the Nara clan, it would likely cause panic in Konoha again.

Even though the location was remote and people couldn't see Dark Tiga, the sudden appearance of dark clouds still made people in Konoha uneasy.

……

Kakashi's clone was much calmer than the two of them when Dark Tiga appeared.

He had seen the information about Ultraman Tiga that Lu Yan summoned during the duel.

Although the Dark Tiga before them was much taller and more imposing than the Light Tiga.

However, apart from the color, the two are almost identical in appearance, so Kakashi only considered them as another form of Tiga.

"Teacher, should the battle continue?" Naruto asked. "Should we go over there and take a look?"

"No need, let the battle continue, don't worry about what's happening over there," Kakashi's clone said.

"But aren't you curious, teacher? Do you know about the giant's origins?"

"I know a little bit about it; those are all illusions manifested by Lu Yan's dueling game."

Kakashi didn't hide anything from the two of them. After all, Lu Yan himself didn't intend to hide anything, so he naturally didn't need to keep it a secret from them.

"You said it was an illusion manifested by Shikamaru?" Sasuke didn't believe it: "How could that real sense of oppression just be an illusion?"

Sasuke abandoned his mission to steal the bell without hesitation and headed towards Dark Tiga.

More than stealing the bell, Sasuke was curious about the abilities of the deer flame. Driven by revenge, Sasuke was interested in anything that could enhance his power.

"Sasuke!" Naruto called out, and seeing that Sasuke didn't stop, he chased after him.

Kakashi's clone smiled helplessly and released himself by forming hand seals.

By the time Sasuke and Naruto arrived at the location where Kakashi's true form was fighting Shikayan, Shikayan had already launched his final attack.

"Dark Tiga, attack the clone ninja."

【Dark Tiga】Attack power 4500. This card's Normal Summon requires the Tribute of three monsters. This card's Normal Summon cannot be negated.

When this card is successfully summoned, the effects of Spell, Trap, and Monster on your opponent's field cannot be activated during your turn.

Trap Card effects targeting this card are negated. This card cannot be destroyed by Trap Card effects. This card cannot be countered or have its control changed.

Dark Tiga is Lu Yan's true destiny card, and its effect is far superior to that of Light Tiga, which is just a mortal card.

Kakashi gritted his teeth and drew a card: "I activate the Spell Card 'Substitution Jutsu'."

【Substitute Technique】A Spell Card. This card can also be activated from your hand during your opponent's turn. Discard one card from your hand and banish one monster from your field to negate your opponent's attack.

"It's no use. Dark Tiga's effect means that during my turn, you cannot activate the effects of spells, traps, or monsters."

In terms of effect handling, Dark Tiga's effect takes priority, so even though the [Substitute Technique] states that it can be activated in the opponent's situation, it cannot be used.

[Copy Ninja] Attack power 2400.

Dark Tiga swung his right fist, terrifying dark power swirling around his fist.

With a single punch, ripples spread through the space, creating a vacuum passage in front of him. The clone ninja's effect could not be activated, and he was directly hit, instantly reduced to ashes.

Kakashi, LP2000 - LP0

The aftershocks of Dark Tiga's attack brushed over Kakashi, and even the slight pain from the card duel made Kakashi feel as if he had experienced a life-or-death terror the moment he was attacked.

After the attack ended, Kakashi let out a long sigh of relief; his back was soaked with sweat.

"What a realistic illusion! For a moment, I almost thought I was going to die." Kakashi's face was pale, and he was still shaken.

After losing the match, the bell at his waist was forcibly pulled by the game rules and flew into Lu Yan's hand.

"Teacher, I got the bell. Is the exercise over?"

In this card game, neither Lu Yan nor Kakashi used their full strength. Kakashi only showed one of his Sharingan cards, and he didn't show any of his other abilities such as Kamui, Susanoo, Rasengan, Eight Gates, or Chidori.

With just his Ninja Dog deck, Kakashi fought Shikamaru to a standstill. In the end, it was Shikamaru who summoned Dark Tiga to end the match. Otherwise, if Kakashi had used all his trump cards, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Kakashi glanced at Naruto and Sasuke, then said to Lu Yan, "You've passed, but the other two haven't. Of the two bells you have, who do you plan to give the other one to so they can pass?"

Naruto looked at Shikamaru with hope: "Choose me, Shikamaru. I finally became a ninja after a lot of hard work, and I don't want to have to start all over again."

Sasuke didn't say anything, but if Shiro didn't intend to give it to him, he would take it by force.

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Teacher Kaka, we're all a team. What you just said was clearly an attempt to sow discord among us. So, my choice is..."

Lu Yan tossed the two bells in his hand to Naruto and Sasuke respectively.

"If someone has to go back to the ninja academy, then let me go back."

Lu Yan knew that the important thing about this assessment was not to grab the bell, but to test team spirit.

If Lu Yan were to actually possess both bells, he would ultimately fail Kakashi's test.

Naruto froze, glanced at the bell in his hand, then at Shikamaru, gritted his teeth and threw the bell on the ground: "Shikamaru, if you don't want it, I don't want this bell either. What bell is more precious than a friend? If we're going back to the Ninja Academy, let me, the bottom of the class, go back!"

Sasuke coldly tossed the bell aside and said, "I will not accept anyone's pity. If I want to pass the test, I will have to earn it myself."

Kakashi looked at the three of them and suddenly smiled: "Congratulations, you have passed my test."

"Huh!? Kakashi-sensei, aren't you going to make things difficult for us anymore?" Naruto said blankly.

"The so-called bell-snatching test is to test the bond between you. The moment you choose your companions and are willing to go back to the drawing board, you have already passed."

"So that's how it is! Kakashi-sensei is so cunning!" Naruto exclaimed.

Lu Yan, on the other hand, wore an expression that said, "I knew this would happen," and remained very calm.

"Alright, to celebrate the official formation of our Team 7, I'll treat everyone to barbecue," Kakashi announced.

"Long live Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto instantly cheered.

The four of them chatted and laughed as they headed toward the barbecue restaurant.

Sasuke lagged behind, walking alongside Lu Yan. He wanted to ask about Dark Tiga, but didn't know how to start.

Lu Yan saw through Sasuke's thoughts and said, "What, Sasuke, are you starting to get interested in dueling games too?"

Sasuke shook his head and said, "Shikayan, I just want to know about that dark giant. Was it really just an illusion?"

Sasuke wasn't interested in playing cards; he was only interested in Dark Tiga, who possessed immense power.

“It’s true,” Lu Yan replied.

Sasuke's eyes lit up. "What kind of being is that? How did you obtain the power of that dark giant?"

Lu Yan said, "That was an ancient warrior from 30 million years ago. I obtained his power by chance, but I can only summon him in duel games."

Although Lu Yan obtained the power of Dark Tiga through the quantum space, he could not transform into Dark Tiga without the Spark Lens and the light particle converter.

"Can it only be summoned in duel games?" Upon hearing Lu Yan's words, Sasuke instantly lost interest. If he couldn't summon it directly to fight, wouldn't this dark giant be a useless existence?

Sasuke's mindset is still that of a traditional ninja, and he is less accepting of dueling games than Kakashi.

He believed that only real combat, where ninjutsu is used to fight, constitutes true battle; dueling games are merely games.

No matter how powerful the abilities in the game are, Sasuke has no interest in them if he can't use them directly.
