Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

Chapter 65 Naruto, I'm Going to Become the Duel King!

After experiencing the night of the massacre of his clan, Sasuke's personality changed drastically, and he became extremely obsessed with the pursuit of power.

However, Dark Tiga, which can only be used in dueling games, is not the direction he is pursuing.

Sasuke was influenced by traditional combat, believing that ninja battles were all real fights, and he didn't really see dueling games as real combat.

Seeing that Sasuke wasn't interested in playing cards with him, Lu Yan didn't mind. After all, Sasuke's perspective was limited at the moment, and he couldn't see the potential of the Duel Game. Once the Duel Game became popular throughout the Naruto world, he would know how powerful the Duel Game was.

Moreover, Sasuke's current strength is too weak; even with his materialization deck, most of his cards are ordinary ones.

Even a fool could guess that Sasuke's deck consisted of cards like the One-Tomoe Sharingan, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Uchiha Throw, and the Three Body Technique.

Perhaps we could add a card for the Night of Extinction or a card for Brotherhood.

But this still doesn't seem very interesting. Only when Sasuke grows stronger will his deck become somewhat interesting.

Once Sasuke finishes his training with Orochimaru, his deck will likely have many more powerful cards, such as Cursed Seal, Chidori Stream, Orochimaru-style ninjutsu, and the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Right now, Lu Yan would rather play cards with Naruto than with Sasuke!

Although Naruto only knows the Shadow Clone Technique, he has many other things inside him, such as the Nine-Tails sealed within him and the residual chakra of his parents, all of which can be transformed into Naruto's cards.

Especially the Nine-Tails; Shikamaru wanted to try and seize the Tailed Beast through a card game to see if it would cause the Jinchuriki's death.

Of course, this experiment won't be conducted with Naruto. It's not too late to try it when we have the opportunity to meet Jinchuriki from other ninja villages.

To celebrate the establishment of Class 7, the four of them had a big feast at a barbecue restaurant.

After finishing their meal, everyone went home.

When they left, Lu Yan and Naruto went in the same direction.

Naruto has a cheerful personality and chatted with Shikamaru the whole way.

"Lu Yan, I never imagined that your card game could be applied to ninjutsu. Your duel with Kakashi-sensei during the day was really exciting. Although I don't know how to play this game, that black giant was really cool..."

Naruto understood the dueling game as a type of ninjutsu, and Shikamaru didn't correct him.

Lu Yan looked at Naruto and said, "Naruto, do you want to play cards with me?"

"Me?" Naruto scratched his head. "Sorry, I can't remember such complicated rules!"

When Naruto was at the Ninja Academy, he watched Shikamaru play cards with others, but the complicated rules left him completely bewildered.

He couldn't understand Special Summon, Ritual Summon, or Card Chain.

Not to mention the timing, instant activation effect, spell speed, etc., which are all shrouded in mystery.

Indeed, the game Yu-Gi-Oh!, without a computer to handle effects and rules, relies solely on handwriting and drawing to play cards, which can feel incredibly complex. Players often argue endlessly over the activation of a single effect, leading to real-life battles.

Even with a computer to help process the effect rules, looking at each effect on the card still makes me feel scalp-tingling and completely confused.

A card with hundreds of words listing effects one, two, and three only leaves you more confused.

However, Lu Yan's duel system is different. The system can imprint the effect of each card in the player's mind when the card deck is materialized. Even someone like Naruto, who gets sleepy when he sees text, can understand the effect of the card.

"You don't need to memorize complicated rules. Duel games are actually very simple," Lu Yan coaxed. "You'll see when you play a game with me."

Naruto waved his hand and said, "Sorry, Shikamaru, I'm really not interested in this kind of word card game."

Having no other choice, Lu Yan resorted to his trump card: "Naruto, do you know that duels bring smiles and you can make more friends through dueling games?"

"Really?" Naruto asked doubtfully.

"It's true. Do you know what the first Duel King, Yugi Muto, wished for?"

"Who is Yugi Muto? What is his wish?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Yugi Muto is a short and ordinary student who is always bullied at school. His wish is to make true friends."

Upon hearing that Yugi Muto's wish was to make friends, Naruto felt a sense of resonance and eagerly asked, "Did he succeed?"

"Of course, Yugi Muto made many close friends through duels, and with their encouragement, he eventually ascended to the throne of the Duel King."

Naruto was breathing heavily; what he craved most was recognition from others and to gain true friends.

Since someone has already made friends through dueling games, he certainly can too.

Naruto has become interested in dueling games.

"By the way, Lu Yan, what is the Duel King? Does it mean that once I become the Duel King, everyone will acknowledge me?"

"The title of Duel King is the highest honor in dueling games. Naruto, if you become the Duel King, everyone will recognize you."

Naruto was a little conflicted. His dream was to become Hokage, but if he changed it to becoming the Duel King, would it be contrary to his dream?

But his fundamental purpose in wanting to become Hokage is to gain recognition from others. Since becoming the Duel King can also gain recognition from others, what is the difference between becoming the Duel King and becoming Hokage?

Naruto voiced his thoughts: "Shikaren, my dream is to become Hokage, or even the King of Duels. Will that conflict with my dream?"

"No, Hokage is a position, and Duel King is a title. Just like the Third Hokage, whose position was Hokage and whose title was 'Professor of Ninjutsu,' the two do not conflict with each other."

Naruto's eyes lit up: "Alright, then I'm going to become Hokage and the King of Duels!"

Naruto was completely swayed by Shikamaru's few words, and he grabbed Shikamaru, saying, "Shikamaru, teach me how to duel right now! Please!"

"No problem, let's go to the training ground now."

Naruto excitedly followed Shikayan to the training ground.

The two stood still, and Lu Yan raised the duel disk in his hand, shouting, "Duel!"

An invisible barrier was created, enveloping the two of them.

A duel disk appeared on Naruto's arm, and his card deck materialized accordingly.

"Wow, that's amazing! So this is a dueling game? I understand the rules in my mind now. I finally know how to play!"

【Naruto LP4000】

【Lu Yan LP4000】

Both players draw five cards, with Naruto going first.

"I usually summon 'the blonde ninja' in attack mode."

A young ninja who looked about 80% like Naruto appeared on the field.

[The Blonde Ninja] has an attack power of 1000.

Effect: When this card is Normal, Flip, or Special Summoned, you can activate this effect to Special Summon 'Ninja Lackey' from your Deck.

"I activate the effect of 'Blonde Ninja' to Special Summon 'Ninja Lackey' in Defense Position."

[Ninja Sidekick] Attack power 300, Defense power 500.

Effect: This card will not be destroyed by battle while in attack position, but the player still needs to calculate the damage.

The ninja henchman was a little brat who looked somewhat like Konohamaru. He had a long scarf wrapped around his neck, snot hanging from his nose, and was crouching on the ground in a defensive posture.

"Great, now that I have two monsters on the field, I can level up and summon even more powerful monsters next turn."

Naruto excitedly said, holding a card that read "Sealed Tailed Beast" in his hand.

When Naruto stole the Scroll of Seals, Mizuki had already revealed that he was the Nine-Tailed Fox, so it wasn't surprising that he had a 'Sealed Tailed Beast' card among his own.

As for hating the Nine-Tails and not wanting to use its power, Naruto wasn't that pedantic.

It's just playing cards, why can't I use the Nine-Tails' power?

Chapter 66 Naruto's Card Deck

Naruto summoned two monsters, but there were no face-down cards in the magic zone, and the turn ended.

When it was Lu Yan's turn to draw a card, he glanced at his hand and said, "I activate the magic card 'Victory Team Emergency Deployment'."

【Victory Team Emergency Deployment】This card can Special Summon a Level 4 Machine-Type monster from your hand when you have no monsters on your field.

"I hereby Special Summon 'Victory Swallow 1'."

【Victory Swallow No. 1】Attack power of 1000. Effect: When Victory Swallow No. 2 is on the field, the attack power of both No. 1 and No. 2 increases by 1000 points.

"In addition, I usually summon the elite of the Victory Team, Horii."

【Victory Team Elite Horii】Attack 300, Effect: When this card is face-up on the field, your Machine-Type monsters gain 500 ATK.

The 'Victory Flying Swallow No. 1' has an attack power of 1,500.

"'Victory Swallow No. 1' attacks 'the blonde little ninja'."

Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 took off, its fuselage drawing a beautiful arc in the sky, firing a blinding laser cannon that killed the 'blonde ninja' below.

"Damn it, my 'blonde little ninja'!" Naruto cried out in grief as he saw the little ninja who looked eight-tenths like him being sent to the grave.

Naruto LP4000 - LP3500

Horii's attack power was insufficient to break through the ninja's subordinate's defense, so Shikaen did not launch another attack.

"I set a card face down, end of turn."

"Alright, it's my turn. I'm going to use the spell card 'Seduction Technique'."

【Seduction Technique】Reduces the attack power of one monster on your opponent's field by half.

"I want to use 'Victory Flying Swallow No. 1'."

Using sex techniques to lure airplanes, Naruto is truly a genius.

This kind of operation, which is breathtaking in reality, is completely reasonable in terms of the rules of the game.

Then Lu Yan saw a sleek, gracefully curved airplane materialize on Naruto's field.

Then their own "Victory Flying Swallow No. 1" immediately roared to life, the cockpit windows fogged up, the fuselage shook, and a moment later a wisp of black smoke billowed out of the aircraft.

[Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, Attack Power 750]

Lu Yan immediately retorted, "Are you an airplane? Can airplanes be seduced? Are you a male airplane or something?"

Naruto truly lives up to his reputation as the most unpredictable ninja; in just the second round, he managed to break Shikamaru's defenses and elicit a sarcastic remark.

"Next, I will sacrifice the 'Ninja Sidekick' to upgrade and summon the 'Blonde Ninja', in attack position."

【Blonde Ninja】Level 5, ATK 1900, Effect: If your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.

Because Naruto has a 'Ninja Sidekick' in Defense Position on the field, he cannot Special Summon it using the effect of the Yellow-Haired Ninja; he can only Level Up Summon this card.
