("Well this sucks, after beating down the Cyclops and taking control as Leader would give me a break. Oh how wrong was I.
For the past couple of days I've been dealing with the Grand Master of headaches due to Team 7 consist annoyance, Kurenai complaining about not finding her 'Daughter', and all the Rouge Spirits that seem to keep popping out of nowhere!
I want to pack up and leave, but I made a promise that I'll free this Island from Gato reign. Boy am I going to need a vacation after this…. ")
/Wave Arc Part3: Rookies vs. Spirits/
Sitting on top of one of the many trees a certain Blonde Duelist sighed. Now the reason Naruto was out here was so that he could get away from Team 7 well cool off from snapping at Inari, Tsunami's Son and Tazuna's Grandson, at his attitude as well as saying how Gato will kill them all.
/ / /Flashback/ / /
"Why even bother, Gato just going to kill them like every other who try to stand up to him." A young Boy wearing a White turtle-neck shirt, Green overalls, and a White and Blue Bucket hat over his spiky Brown hair said in a monotone voice while glaring at the Konoha Ninjas.
"Inari!" Tsunami exclaimed, looking at her Son.
"But it's true! They're just going to die anyway since Gato is very powerful!" Inari yelled back, glaring at those from Konoha. "They don't know what we all suffered from, I bet every one of them have comfy lives with everything handed to them so all of this is poin-"
(SLAP! ! !) Inari was interrupted by a slap to the face as Naruto glared at him.
"What would you know about suffering! Are you the one living in the streets? Are you the one living like an animal scratching around for food? Are you the one who lost everything? NO! So don't think you'll the only one suffering, because this whole Island is suffering!" Naruto exclaimed, glaring hard at the brat.
"Your Grandfather is risking his LIFE building this Bridge to save this place while you STILL get warm meals and have a MOTHER who really cares about YOU! Everyone in this room lost something, Princess over there lost his entire Clan to his Older Sister in a Shadow Duel, Kurenai lost her Parents when she was YOUR age, and me, my OWN Parents abandoned me as a baby leaving me to fend for myself, but do you see me crying? NO! Because unlike you, I don't anchor myself to the past whining about my life, instead I push myself forward becoming better." He added before heading towards the door.
"Where do you think you're going Loser?" Kiba said snarky, receiving a hammer to the head knocking him back anime style.
"To take Night watch." Naruto said angry before walking out and slamming the door behind him.
/ / /Flashback Over/ / /
"I can't wait to get home once this Mission is over." Naruto grumbled to himself, not noticing his Deck holster glowing for a quick second before familiar winged arms wrapped around as two big soft round objects pushed into his back.
"Try to hold out a little while longer Naruto." Airo softy said, hugging the Blonde Genin closer to her, her F-cup breasts pushing deeper against his back, causing a certain Toad to sneeze as their Pervert senses were tingling.
"I know, but with Team 7 annoying me as well as Kurenai's consist complaining, it's just too tempting not to just go to the nearest Bar and drown my sorrows with Sake." Naruto said, causing a certain Busty Slug to sneeze before groaning at her misfortune.
"So have you seen any Duel Spirits you would like to add?" the Demonic Harpy Lady asked as Naruto just slugged his shoulders.
"Nothing really, so far all the Rouge Spirits we've faced were acting on baser, more primal instincts." Naruto said, causing Airo to nod in agreement since for the past few days they dealt with Lesser Dragons, Bladeflies, Killer Needles, Man-Eating Plants, and Feral Imps.
Plus what could happen since there aren't really any Spirits that could harm Tazuna and is Family.
/ / /Unknown Location/ / /
Sitting in a fancy office was a very, very short Man with frizzy Gray hair and Needle Mustache wearing Black dotted sunglasses and Business Suit as he was drinking a glass of Wine.
This was Gato, CEO of Gato's Shipping Industry and Tyrant of Nami as he was discussing a deal with someone.
"So think your Guys can handle those Ninjas? I mean I hired Zabuza and he came back like a scared little kid." Gato said mockingly, ignoring the pain in his wrist where Zabuza's accomplice grabbed him, as he poured another glass of Wine before a hand reached out and grabbed it.
"Don't worry, soon all of them will be gone since in a Shadow Duel, you duel for your life." The person said, bringing the glass up to their mouth as they started drinking.
/ / /Tazuna's House/ / /
After Naruto left to take the Night watch, the remaining Konoha Nin where discussing either tomorrow's shifts or working on their Decks until…
KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM! ! ! ! !
"Hey Bridge Builder, Gato wants your head and our Boss sent us to get it!" a gruff voice yelled causing everyone to run outside and become shock at what they saw.
Outside across the yard, now with a huge scorch mark, were three figures with one being a slim Man with Red skin, pointed ears, Green eyes, and Blonde hair wearing a Purple suit and hat and White gloves. The second figure was a Brown Anthropomorphic Rat wearing a Red bandana, Grey shirt, Green baggy pants, and a Red Gauntlet with three sharp knife claws. And the final figure was a Man with a lean muscular top half while his bottom half was of a Blue furred horse with curved Ox horns on his head wearing a Green cloak and holding a giant Scythe.
In order, these three were the Spirits of Witty Phantom, Burglar, and Solitude.
"Ha, these are the Nins Gato is afraid of. They don't look so tough." Burglar laughed mockingly.
"Shut it you stupid Rat, for I'm Kiba Inuzuka, the Alpha of this group!" Kiba yelled, clearly angry that a giant talking Rat was mocking him.
"Boss said to take care of the kiddos, so fellas let take care of them!" Witty Phantom said tipping his hat that soon turned into a Duel Disk(Battle City Disk but the colors matches his suit) as Burglar's Gauntlet and Solitude's Scythe also transformed into Disks as well before a wire shoot from them and onto three random Genin's Duel Disks forcing them to activate and enter Duel Mode.
Nami's eyes widen as she was locked against Witty Phantom who grinned wickedly.
"This is so troublesome." Shikamaru sighed as he was locked against Burglar.
"… " Shino said nothing as he was locked against Solitude.

""""""Let's Duel!"""""" the six of them exclaimed, drawing their first five cards, as thick eerie fog surrounded the area.(All Duel are happening at the same time because I don't feel like going back and forth between each Duel.)
(Nami LP: 4000 vs. Witty Phantom LP: 4000)
"I'll start things off, that way this will end sooner." Witty Phantom said as he drew a card and began his turn. "First I'll play the Spell Restructer Revolution to deal 200 points of damage for every card in your hand, so that's 1000 points hitting you hard!" he said as the Spell appeared on the field before blasting the Orange hair girl hard.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHH! ! !... " Nami screamed as she was knocked back several feet, her life force sipping off her body due to the damage she took.
(Nami's LP: 4000 - 1000 = 3000)
'W-What was that, why does my body feels like I lost so much energy?' Nami thought, her legs wobbling as she struggled to get back up.
Witty Phantom chuckled watching the remaining Genin of Team 8 trying to get up. "Seems you notice the way your body is acting. Well my dear, the guys and I have forced you and your friends into a Shadow Duel." He said, causing the older people among the crowd to widen their eyes in shock.
"W-What's… that's suppose t-to mean?" Nami asked both scared and confused about this.
"You see in Shadow Duels, everything becomes real from the attack of the Monsters to the effect of Spells and Traps. So as our Life Points decrease, so does our life force, and once either of our Life Points hit zero, well… you can guess what's happens." He said causing the Rookies eyes to widen as their lives are literally on the line. "Now than, I'll set a Monster in Def mode and end my turn with a facedown." The Phantom added setting his cards down as he ended his turn.
'O-Okay N-Nami, just d-draw a card a-and start your turn.' Nami thought, shuttering in fear since she'll lose more than just a Duel if she doesn't play this carefully. Drawing a card, she started her turn.
"I summon Red Archery Girl to the field in Atk mode." Nami said as a giant clam appeared on the field before opening up revealing a Mermaid with long Sea-Green hair, tanned skin, and a Purple tail wearing a Light-Blue seashell bra over her D-cup bust as she ready her Red long-bow and spear-like arrow.
Red Archery Girl: Lv4
Element: Water
Type: Aqua
Atk: 1400/Def: 1500
"Now Archery Girl, fire your arrow and destroy his Monster!" Nami exclaimed as her Mermaid fired her arrow piercing the facedown Monster revealing it to be a humanoid Scorpion-like creature before bursting into light particles.
Skull Stalker: Lv3
Element: Dark
Type: Warrior
Atk: 900/Def: 800
"Next I'll play the Spell Red Medicine, recovering 500 Life Points." Nami said as she activated her Spell card.
"Nice try little girl, but I activate the Trap card Bad Reaction to Simochi. As long as this Trap remains on the field, every time you try to recover Life Points, you take damage instead." Witty Phantom said as his Trap shot a bolt of Purple lightning towards Nami's Spell, destroying it as well as causing damage.
(Nami's LP: 3000 - 500 = 2500)
Nami gasped, kneeling over as a bit more of her life force left her as Red Archery Girl looked at her worryingly. "I-I-I p-place two cards f-facedown a-and end m-my turn." She panted as her body was feeling weaker as she ended her turn.
"Now's my move." Witty Phantom said as he drew a card, grinning as he saw what he drew. "First I'll get rid of one of your facedowns by playing Twister, and I'm willing to pay a minimum of 500 Life Points to activate it." He added as a powerful Twister destroyed one of Nami's cards.
(W.P.'s LP: 4000 – 500 = 3500)
"Next I'll summon Jinzo #7 in Atk mode." The Red skin Fiend say as a Purple Android with a large Blue '7' on its chest appeared on the field.
Jinzo #7: Lv2
Element: Dark
Type: Machine/Effect
Atk: 500/Def: 400
"Next I'll equip this Android with Machine Conversion Factory increasing its Atk and Def points by 300." He said as Jinzo #7 as enveloped in a Green aura as its power increased.
Jinzo #7(Atk: 500/Def: 400 + 300 = Atk: 800/Def: 700)
"And thanks to its ability, Jinzo can attack you directly! Go Techno Shocker!" Witty Phantom exclaimed as the Android Monster created a sphere of Bluish Purple electricity and launched it at the Orange hair Genin.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !" Nami screamed as she was blast onto her back, her body twitching from the electricity as she lost more life force along with her Life Points.
(Nami's LP: 2500 – 800 = 1700)
"Now I'll end my turn with a facedown, looks like this will be over quicker than I thought." Witty Phantom said snickering as he ended his turn.
Nami groan out in pain as she struggled to get back up. 'T-This is insane, how could anyone deal with this?!' she thought as she try to draw her next card. "M-My d-draw!" she exclaimed as she drew her card and started her turn. "First I'll play the Spell Stray Lambs to summon two Lamb Tokens to the field in Def mode." She said as a White and Pink lamb appear on the field.
Lamb Token: Lv1 X2
Element: Earth
Type: Beast/Token
Atk: 0/Def: 0
"Next I'll tribute one of my Tokens to summon Catapult Turtle in Atk mode." Nami said as the Pink Lamb Token disappeared as a Black and Green mechanical turtle with a torpedo launcher on its shell appeared in its place.
Catapult Turtle: Lv5
Element: Water
Type: Aqua/Effect
Atk: 1000/Def: 2000
"First my Archery Girl will destroy your Android!" Nami said as the Mermaid fired her arrow towards Jinzo #7.
"I activate the Trap Magical Arm Shield, with this I can pick one of your Monsters as a new target, and the Monster I'm choosing is your Catapult Turtle." Witty Phantom said as a White hexagonal shield appeared before the center opened up as mechanical arms shot out.
"I activate my own facedown, the Trap card Trap Stun. With this, all Trap cards on the field are negated for the rest of this turn." Nami said, her own trap shooting two bolts of lightning towards her opponent's Traps, destroying Magical Arm Shield while paralyzing Bad Reaction to Simochi, canceling its effect.
With no more delays, Red Archery Girl's arrow pierced through Jinzo #7, destroying it, before getting stuck in the Phantom's knee.
Red Archery Girl(Atk: 1400) vs. Jinzo #7(Atk: 800)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! ! !" Witty Phantom cried in pain, blood dripping from his knee, as a bit of life force left from where the arrow hit.
(W.P.'s LP: 3500 – 600 = 2900)
"Now Catapult Turtle, attack him directly with Aqua Torpedo!" Nami exclaimed as her Monster readied the launcher on its back before firing a torpedo made of water, nailing Witty Phantom hard against a tree as he lost more life force along with his Life Points.
Catapult Turtle(Atk: 1000)
(W.P.'s LP: 2900 – 1000 = 1900)
"Now I'll play the Spell Token Thanksgiving. By removing every Token Monster on the field, I gain 800 Life Points for each one." Nami said as her remaining Lamb Token disappear while increasing her Life Points.
(Nami's LP: 1700 + 800 = 2500)
"Next I'll end my turn with a facedown." She added as she ended her turn, smiling to herself as she manage to turn things around.
"Got to say, you're tougher than you look, but don't think you've won yet." Witty Phantom said before drawing a card and beginning his next move. "First I'll play the Spell Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two more cards." He said as he drew two more cards. "Now I'll summon Ryu-Kishin Powered to the field in Atk mode." He added as a Dark Reddish-Purple skinned Gargoyle with sharp talons appeared on the field.
Ryu-Kishin Powered: Lv4
Element: Dark
Type: Fiend
Atk: 1600/Def: 1200
"Next I'll play Rush Recklessly to increase his attack power by 700. Now my Gargoyle, destroy her turtle with Talon Crusher!" Witty Phantom exclaimed as his powered up Monster slashed Catapult Turtle before the Aqua type Monster exploded.
Ryu-Kishin Powered(Atk: 1600 + 700 = 2300) vs. Catapult Turtle(Atk: 1000)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! !" Nami screamed as she was knocked back by the explosion as her body suffer heavy damage from both the impact as well as losing more of her life force.
(Nami's LP: 2500 – 1300 = 1200)
"Hmhmhmhmhm, look like you've reached your limit little girl. Seems this Shadow Duel became too much for you, so I'll just end my turn since there is nothing you can do now." Witty Phantom said as he ended his turn with his Monster's attack points returning to normal.
Struggling back up, Nami gave out painful groans since her body took some serious damage as well as having so much of her life force sucked out.
"Please Nami, get up, you can't lose now." Red Archery Girl said, her face full of worry as her Duelist couldn't handle anymore before turning her head to glare hatefully at the Phantom for doing this to her.
Coughing as she finally got back onto her feet, Nami shakily drew a card before making her move. "F-First I-I'll play t-the S-Spell Pot of Greed t-to draw t-two more cards." She panted tiredly as she drew two cards. "N-Now since I-I drew h-her by c-card effect, I-I can s-special s-summon Watapon to the f-field." She added as a Lavender color furball with big Blue eyes and antennas appeared onto the field.
Watapon: Lv1
Element: Light
Type: Fairy/Effect
Atk: 200/Def: 300
"N-Now I'll t-tribute Watapon t-to summon Beautiful Beast Trainer i-in Atk mode." Nami said as Watapon glowed in a blight light before being replace with a woman with long Blue hair and pointed ears wearing a Green Battle Dress with a Red sash around her waist as she was holding what looks like a combination of a Lasso and Sword.
Beautiful Beast Trainer: Lv5
Element: Earth
Type: Warrior
Atk: 1750/Def: 1500
"Next I'll activate my facedown card Aqua Jet, with it I can increase my Archery Girl's attack points by 1000." Nami said as her Monster became surrounded by a Aqua Blue aura as her attack points increased.
Red Archery Girl(Atk: 1400 + 1000 = 2400)
"Now Archery Girl, attack his Gargoyle with Tsunami Arrow!" Nami exclaimed as Red Archery Girl ready her bow, the arrow surrounded by a powerful swirl of water.
"Take this, you Bastard." She said as she released the powered up arrow as it shot right through Ryu-Kishin Powered, causing it to explode, before piercing Witty Phantom in the stomach.
Red Archery Girl(Atk: 2400) vs. Ryu-Kishin Powered(Atk: 1600)
(W.P.'s LP: 1900 – 800 = 1100)
"GGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !" Witty Phantom cried out, blood spurting from his wound, before fall onto his knees coughing blood as more life force left his body.
"Now Beast Trainer, finish him off with Whirling Slash!" Nami exclaimed as Beast Trainer began twirling the blade end of her Lasso really fast before letting go as the Sword end launched towards Witty Phantom, piercing him right in the center of his forehead.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !... "Witty Phantom cried out as his body slowly dissentaganted as his Life Points dropped to zero.
(W.P.'s LP: 1100 – 1750 = 0)
Smiling at her victory, Nami fell onto her back exhausted as she slowly blacked out as the Spirit forms of Archery Girl and Beast Trainer ran over to her with concern looks on their faces.
{/ /End Song/ /}
(Shikamaru LP: 4000 vs. Burglar: LP: 4000)
{/ /Play Shadow of the Days by Linkin Park/ /}
"I'll start things off, draw!" Burglar exclaimed as he drew a card with a grin on his Rat face. "First I'll play the Spell card The Inexperienced Spy to take a look at one card in your hand, and I choose the one second to the right." He said as the hologram of the Nara Heir's card appeared in front of him, revealing it to be a low level Monster. "Next I'll summon Armored Rat in Atk mode and end my turn with a facedown." The Rat man said, his grin never leaving his face, as a Brownish-Yellow Rat/Pangolin creature with a Red jewel on its forehead appeared on the field as he ended his turn.
Armored Rat: Lv3
Element: Earth
Type: Beast
Atk: 950/Def: 1100
"Troublesome, draw…. " Shikamaru sighed as he drew a card before starting his turn. "I summon The Melting Red Shadow in Atk mode and end my turn with a facedown, your move." He said uncaringly as a Red humanoid create made of liquid appeared on the field.
The Melting Red Shadow: Lv2
Element: Water
Type: Aqua
Atk: 500/Def: 700
"Ha, if that's all you got than this Duel will be easier than I thought." Burglar laughed as he drew a card. "I summon another Armored Rat in Atk mode and now both my Monsters, attack!" Burglar exclaimed as a second Armored Rat appeared before both of them charged towards Shikamaru's Red Shadow.
"I activate the Trap card Inspiration, this increases my Shadow's attack points by 700, making it stronger than your Rats." Shikamaru said as his Monster melted before grabbing one of the Armored Rats, squeezing tightly until it burst into light particles.
The Melting Red Shadow(Atk: 500 + 700 = 1200) vs. Armored Rat(Atk: 950)
(Burglar's LP: 4000 – 250 = 3750)
"Hn, as if I'm worried about a tiny bit of damage like that." Burglar snickered, losing only a small bit of life force, before continuing with his turn. "Since you destroyed my Rat, I can activate my facedown Call of the Haunted to bring him back in Def mode." He said, activating his facedown as the destroyed Armored Rat reappear onto the field this time in defense position. "Now I'll end my turn with another facedown, your move Sunshine." He added mockingly as he ended his turn as Red Shadow's attack points returned to normal.
"Sigh… fine, I draw." Shikamaru sighed as he drew a card. "First I play the Spell Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your facedown." He said as Burglar grunted that his facedown was destroyed. "Next I summon Mataza the Zapper in Atk mode." He added as the Green and Blue armor Samurai appeared on the field, drawing his Sword as he was ready to battle.
Mataza the Zapper: Lv3
Element: Dark
Type: Warrior/Effect
Atk: 1300/Def: 800
"Now because of his Effect, he can attack twice during the Battle Phase so Mataza, slice down his Rats with Double Katana Slash." Shikamaru said as his Samurai slashed through both Armored Rats, destroying them as the aftershock of his blade knocked Burglar off his feet.
Mataza the Zapper(Atk: 1300) vs. Armored Rat 1(Atk: 950) and 2(Def: 1000)
(Burglar's LP: 3750 – 350 = 3400)
"Now my Red Shadow attacks you directly, use Crimson Sneak." The Nara added as he Shadow melted, causing Burglar to quickly look around, before reappearing behind the Rat Spirit as back slammed him.
The Melting Red Shadow(Atk: 500)
(Burglar's LP: 3400 – 500 = 2900)
"GGGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrr…." Burglar growled in annoyance as he was losing to this kid, his head sweating as he lost a lot of life force.
"Now I'll end my turn with a facedown, your turn you troublesome Rat." Shikamaru said bored, wishing that someone else got their Disk forced into Duel Mode.
"You won't be dueling me for long you brat!" Burglar growled as he drew a card before smiling evilly as he looked at what he just drew. "First I'll play the Spell card Remove Trap to get rid of your facedown." He started activating the Spell as Shikamaru's facedown was destroyed. "Next I'll summon Giant Rat in Atk mode!" he grinned wickedly as a giant menacing looking Rat with Bluish-Gray fur and glowing Red eyes appeared hissing as it bared its teeth.
Giant Rat: Lv4
Element: Earth
Type: Beast/Effect
Atk: 1400/Def: 1450
"Now I play the Spell Rush Recklessly to increase Giant Rat's attack points by 700, now go and destroy his Shadow with Rage Fang!" Burglar exclaimed as his powered up Monster charged and bit the Nara's Red Shadow hard, causing it to burst upon impact.
Giant Rat(Atk: 1400 + 700 = 2100) vs. The Melting Red Shadow(Atk: 500)
(Shikamaru's LP: 4000 – 1600 = 2400)
Shikamaru grunted as he almost lost his balance before widening his eyes seeing his life force first hand. 'So this is what a Shadow Duel feels like, I thought this was all part of Naruto or our Sensei's idea of testing us! This just got a lot more troublesome.' He thought, realizing that this was all real and that his life really was on the line.
"HAHAHAHAHA! How do you like that kid, bet you never thought you would be in an actually Shadow Duel now huh!" Burglar said mockingly as he finally deal some heavy damage on the Genin before ending his turn while his Monster's attack points returned to normal.
"This whole thing may be troublesome, but if I don't win now, I'll have to deal with my Mother later." Shikamaru said before drawing a card. "I summon Kageningen in Atk mode." He started as a Crimson skinned Man appeared on the field.
Kageningen: Lv2
Element: Dark
Type: Warrior
Atk: 800/Def: 600
"Oh please, my Giant Rat is the strongest Monster on the field, so why summon a weaker Monster in Atk mode." Burglar chuckled since his Monster does have the highest attack points.
"Because I'm going to tribute him thanks to the Spell card Double Summon, which allows me to summon a second time." Shikamaru said, activating the card in his hand. "Now I tribute Kageningen to summon Shadow Ghoul in Atk mode." He added as his Monster disappeared into the shadows as a Dark Green Raptor/Mantis hybrid-like Monster with sharp talons and several Red orbs all over its body took his place.
Shadow Ghoul: Lv5
Element: Dark
Type: Zombie/Effect
Atk: 1600/Def: 1300
"Now for my Ghoul's Effect, allowing it to gain 100 extra attack points for every Monster in my Graveyard. I have two, so it gains 200 attack points." Shikamaru said as the orbs on his Monster glowed as its attack power increased.
Shadow Ghoul(Atk: 1600 + 200 = 1800)
"Now Shadow Ghoul, attack Giant Rat with Shadow Slash." The Nara Heir said as his Ghoul sank into the shadows before appearing behind Giant Rat, scaring the big Beast, and slashed it with its sharp talons.
Shadow Ghoul(Atk: 1800) vs. Giant Rat(Atk: 1400)
(Burglar's LP: 2900 – 400 = 2500)
"I activate Giant's Rat's Effect, when he's destroy by battle I can special summon an Earth elemental Monster with 1500 or less attack points straight to the field in Atk mode." Burglar said, taking his Deck out to pick a Monster before placing it back into the slot as his Disk reshuffled his cards. "Now appearing on the field is another GiantRat!" he exclaimed as a copy of the Monster appeared on the field hissing.
"Great, another one." Shikamaru groaned, ending his turn with a facedown.
"My move." Burglar said as he drew a card. "I summon Prevent Rat to the field in Def mode." He said as a Blue and Greenish version of Armored Rat appeared.
Prevent Rat: Lv4
Element: Earth
Type: Beast
Atk: 500/Def: 2000
"Now Giant Rat, attack his Samurai!" Burglar commanded as his Monster charged towards Mataza, ready to bite his head off.
"I activate the Trap Shadow Spell, this cancel your Monster's attack as well as decrease its attack points by 700." Shikamaru said as chains shot out from the shadows, trapping Giant Rat as well as weakening it.
Giant Rat(Atk: 1400 – 700 = 700)
"Grrr… end turn." Burglar growled as he ended his turn.
"My turn." Shikamaru said as he drew a card. "Shadow Ghoul, attack that Giant Rat just like the last one." He simply said as his Ghoul slashed the chained up Beast with its talons.
Shadow Ghoul(Atk: 1800) vs. Giant Rat(Atk: 700)
(Burglar's LP: 2500 – 1100 = 1400)
"And just like before, I special summon my third and final Giant Rat in Atk mode." Burglar said, sweating a lot as he lost more of his life force from that attack, as a third copy of his Monster appeared on the field, and just like the last two, it hissed.
"Now I'll end my turn with a facedown." Shikamaru said as he ended his turn
"My turn." Burglar said as he drew a card as a grin appeared on his face. "Haha, look at what I just drew. I play the Spell Pot of Greed so I can draw two more cards." He said as he did just that before a wicked smile appeared on his face. "AHA! Just the card I was looking for. First I'll switch my Giant Rat into Def mode, next I'll summon Last Tusk Mammoth in Atk and end my turn with a facedown." The Rat bandit said as a large Wooly Mammoth appeared on the field.
Last Tusk Mammoth: Lv3
Element: Earth
Type: Dinosaur/Effect
Atk: 800/Def: 1200
'Weird, why would he summon a Monster in Atk mode, unless he's trying to bait into attacking so he could activate his facedown.' The Nara thought, thinking of what to do as he drew his next card. Looking at the cards in his hand, he decided it would be better to go on the defense for now.
"I switch my Shadow Ghoul and Mataza the Zapper to Def mode along with setting a Monster in Def mode as well." Shikamaru said, his two Monsters kneeling into defense position as a set Monster appear next to Mataza before ending his turn.
"My draw." Burglar said as he drew a card. "I switch Giant Rat into Atk mode as well as summon Mad Sword Beast is Atk mode." The Rat Man said as a Black Rhino with a Turtle shell on its back as well as sharp blades for horns as well on its jaw and back dragged its front foot, ready to charge into battle.
Mad Sword Beast: Lv4
Element: Earth
Type: Dinosaur/Effect
Atk: 1400/Def: 1200
"Now Giant Rat attacks your Ghoul while my Sword Beast attacks your Mataza!" Burglar exclaimed as he Monsters attacked with his Rat biting hard on Shadow Ghoul while Mataza was pierced by the Rhino's sword horn as both of them were destroyed.
Giant Rat(Atk: 1400) vs. Shadow Ghoul(Def: 1300)
Mad Sword Beast(Atk: 1400) vs. Mataza the Zapper(Def: 800)
"Now for my Sword Beast's Effect, when it battle a Monster in Def, you take the differences as damage."

(Shikamaru's LP: 1800 – 900 = 900)
"With that I'll end my turn, this Duel is almost over." Burglar said, a wide grin on his face as he had this Duel won.

"I counter that with my facedown Trap Jammer." Shikamaru said activating his facedown. "If my Opponent activates a Trap during the Battle Phase, this card negates and destroys it." He explained as the whirlwind disburse as Hero of the East slashed Burglar across his chest.

Growling in anger, Burglar got back up and glared at the Nara Heir. "You're going to regret that brat, 'cause next turn will end you!" he yelled out, ready to bring some serious pain onto the Genin.
"There won't be a next turn because I'm activating the Spell card Hinotama which deals 500 points of damage to my Opponent's Life Points." Shikamaru said tiredly before walking away as a barrage of fire balls hit his Opponent.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !" Burglar screamed out in pain, his body burning to death as his Life Points hit zero.

Looking at the three injured Genins, he knew the first thing to do was crew out the Senseis for not doing anything.
