Chapter 2: Shingo Sawatari Annoys Shikamaru

Date: July 5th, 2022

"Oh man, what a drag. Why did I get stuck with this guy again? Why does he have to be so annoying?" These words come out of Shikamaru, one of the most skilled strategists in Konoha as he recalls what caused all this to transpire. But let's begin with what he didn't know. Shingo confidently said to Yuya before they and the other Lancers went into Duel Links for the day: "Hey Yuya! The great Shingo is going to defeat more duelists than you!" Yuya replies: "We'll see about that!" "It's on!" After that, they logged into the virtual world. However, when Shingo logged in, he did something clumsy and ended up somewhere else entirely: "Aaa Duel Links. Today is the perfect day for the great Shingo to take down a bunch of chumps! ...Wait. This isn't Duel Links. Where am I?" "Shadow Paralysis Jutsu!" A Konoha specialty ninjutsu move uses Shingo's own shadow to trap him in place: "Choji! Ino! I think I just found an enemy who was trying to hide himself before infiltratingthe village." Shikamaru is a black haired in a ponytail of sorts shinobi with the uniform of a Jounin of Konoha. Shingo is a duelist with short and pointy light brown and blonde hair, grayish blue eyes, and a Leo Institute outfit.

Upon hearing their friend and teammate on Team Asuma, Choji and Ino rush on top of the branches of the trees surrounding them in the woods outside of Konoha to see for themselves. Their sensei may be gone but they still pack a punch and impressive teamwork combination. Of course, Shingo didn't know this so he didn't even think to activate his duel disk. If he had, he would have been able to use the likes of Abyss Actor Funky Comedian to give Team Asuma a hard time. After all, duel disks equipped with the Arc technology give off solid holograms. Choji, a pleasantly plump spiky light brown haired shinobi with black eyes, swirl marks on his cheeks, and a red, gray, and green outfit combination reacts upon seeing Shingo: "Who's this guy? LID? What does that mean?" "Can someone explain to the great Shingo why he is trapped by his own shadow? And how could you not know about the Leo Institute for Dueling? It's the best place to learn and master Duel Monsters!" "Oh man. Why did I have to find someone like him? We just wanted to do some training but instead we gotta take care of this guy." "It's okay, Shikamaru. We'll just get him to the village and let the Analysis Team take care of the rest." Ino's kind and warm voice stops Shikamaru from complaining again.

She's a kunoichi with long platinum blonde hair, blue eyes, and a purple outfit. Shingo gets mad: "Hey! How dare you ignore the great Shingo?!" "Look pal, can you please stop being annoying? You're such a drag. Anyway, let's get this over with. I want to get back to training as soon as possible." Choji laughs: "Classic Shikamaru! Could we get some lunch on the way back? I'm starving." "Choji, you're always starving." They end their discussion and Shikamaru finally releases Shingo. Shingo laughs himself and declares: "Now that you've foolishly prematurely freed the great Shingo, he's going to outshine and defeat you!" And that's when it hits him: "Hey wait, I can't battle you because you apparently don't know what Duel Monsters is!" "Do you ever stop talking? You're outside Konoha, the ninja village. And you're an intruder." "Ninja you say? The great Shingo knows 2 ninja but they're clearly not here! Where are Yuya and Reji?" Shikamaru has had it. He uses his jitsu again but that doesn't stop Shingo from blabbering.

That's when Kakashi, a white haired black eyed shinobi with his left eye covered by his headband who wears the Konoha Jounin uniform finds them: "So that's where you went. I was wondering why you weren't training. Who is this with you?" Shikamaru groans: "This guy keeps referring to himself in 3rd person. He just showed up out of nowhere and keeps talking about some game I've never heard of called Duel Monsters. We're taking him to the Analysis Team by any means necessary." This is that moment that Shingo realizes he can still use his cards to fight and Shikamaru just so happened to have released him again: "The great Shingo will not be stopped! He will dazzle you with a performance so great you'll be speechless and on your knees begging for mercy!" The egotistical duelist tries to activate his duel disk but Kakashi is much faster. He throws a shuriken without even trying at the duel disk to stop it from activating: "Until we know who you are, we cannot allow you to do something like that. Come on Team Asuma, we'll take him together. As long as Guy doesn't ask me to do another of his foolish challenges today, I have nothing planned. After all, I'm not going on any missions related to the Akatsuki. I do hope Jiraiya makes it back okay."
