We Lived As Gods

One of my favorite games since a I was a kid was definitely Grand Theft Auto. It's always been. Anyway, I've decided to make a sort of heist fic. Some heists are from GTA, but I just love this. Although it is a Narusasu, the story is partly told in Kiba's point of view. The chapter begins in Kiba's present, but he then goes to speaking of the past. I don't own Naruto because in this story he fully belongs to Sasuke.

"You all say the same thing. You suits, you cops, you shrinks. You all sound alike: 'Tell us what happened. Give us your side of the story.' My side of the story."

Kiba laughed psychotically and rubbed his stubbled chin.

"My side. As if the truth were a box that you could fucking flip over when you want another side, another version. Well, there are no sides, no box, maybe no truth."

Asuma cursed, standing impatiently, cigarette in mouth, hands in his pockets. He stood closer to the door and stared out of it in annoyance. "This kid." he muttered.

Tsunade raised her hand in a cease motion, evidently the leader in this investigation. She sat on the table before Kiba. "Look kid. We want to help you. What you and your friends did….can keep you in jail for life. But, if you confess and give them away, you'll win."

Kiba laughed, but the policewoman continued. "You're only 22. You still have time. To live your life. Be free. Whatever."

The Inuzuka leaned back. "You don't really want my side of the story. You don't want to know me, understand me, crawl inside my head. You don't want to feel the things I've felt."

He leaned up. "You just want to know one thing: Why."

Tsunade glared and Kiba laughed. "Fine...fuckings cops. Fine. Here's why: them. I did it all for them."

The room grew quiet and Kiba rubbed his chin slightly, eyes glazing. But he wouldn't let these fuckers see the tears he didn't want. He missed his fucking friends.

He laughed. "We were heistmen."

Asuma, now interested, stood close behind Kiba. "Heistmen?"

"Yeah. Those guys who knew how to fuck with the government. We broke the system. The banks, the media, the city. And we didn't do it for the money. No. That was just a benefit. We did it because we wanted to show people that our government wasn't as mighty as they claimed to be. No government in the world was. We were the shit."

Asuma hummed in minor annoyance. This kid before him made a salary like a millionaire without going to school. This kid came from another crew of kids who knew their shit. "How'd you meet them?"

"Them?"

"Yeah. Your team."

Kiba laughed. "Oh them. Our story isn't like the others. Our story is way more than that. You gotta get me some coffee. Real good coffee. Leave the blood of the beans in it, too."

"Fucking nut. You wanna start respecting us. We might be the ones to judge how much time you deserve."

Kiba gave Asuma the most incredulous look. As if the man knew less. As if he were less of a man. "Your badge doesn't just give you respect. Respect is never owned. It's rented. And that rent is due everyday."

The tan cop grit his teeth. "We'll get that coffee for you when you start talking for at least ten minutes."

Kiba hummed loudly, but said nothing. Asuma cursed and stormed out to retrieve the coffee.

He and Tsunade sat in silence for a moment. "It's still morning, kid. You still have a chance."

Kiba shrugged. "First I'll tell you about them. There were four of us. Four guys just looking for cash. We were good guys that did bad things to make bad guys like you pay.

I was an immature shit. I was an idiot too, but I was an excellent gunman and driver. Anytime we needed to get away from something, we disappeared. We were all good at shooting."

"And the rest?"

"Sasuke was our money. He was the set up. Anything we needed to get our heist done. He provided it. He had been rich. Whole family got killed when he was 15 and he fell off the grid, taking the money with him. That was after the government did literally shit about finding the killer. You could tell him to steal a police getaway car or get us masks and shit, he was good. He had ideas too."

Asuma stormed in and indecently placed Kiba's coffee on the table. The Inuzuka stopped to sip it and grimaced.

"It tastes like shit."

Asuma smirked. "It is shit."

"Exactly what I wanted. Anyway, Sasuke wasn't the youngest of us, but he needed to be protected. He was like a little prince."

"Shikamaru was our hacker. The planner. He got kicked out of his house when he was fifteen and didn't really have it all together. He'd hacked a couple of banks before. But when the banks were closed, he needed fast money. That's what brought us together that night. He saw that alone, we were sloppy. We didn't have someone who we could teach or be taught. He saw that when we were together, we were a force. Dangerous, witty, unforgiving, savaged, mysterious. We made our own fate. We lived as Gods."

Tsunade hummed. "So he was the leader? Shikamaru."

"What? No. While he was good, Shikamaru refused to lead. No. Naruto was our leader."

"Naruto?"

"Yeah. He was the everything. A bit unaffectionate with lovers, but still a good guy. Grew up in the orphanage until he began robbing small stores. Naruto was the leader. He wasn't so smart, but he was a fucking rock, the big guy. The agent type shit. Guy used to come up with these ideas for our heists. Deadly when thought about, but they were always successful. No setbacks. Naruto was good with foreplay. He could easily play a part and fool anyone. He loved everyone too. That's why Sasuke fucked with him so much. He and Sasuke weren't so different. He easily became my best friend. We were a team and nothing could fuck us up."

Kiba breathed deeply as he clutched his gun to his chest. The store was dark on the corner, so he assumed robbing it fast would be easy.

The morning darkness showed that no matter how light the grimy city had become, people still weren't out and about. Kiba was alone and that was all he needed. He'd come to the store plenty of times to know and case it.

The cashier would stand right by the door. All he had to do was jump in and out of the armed robbery. He needed the money. The city didn't give a shit. They didn't want to give him jobs or help. His back was against the wall and the only way to get away was to break it down.

Loading the weapon and pulling down his mask, the brunette ran into the store. "Give me what the fuck you have!"

Kiba scanned the area. "Shit!" he hissed.

There was another man in the store, particularly a robber, pointing his gun at the store clerk. The man gave no effort of hiding his face. His eyes were brown, face bored, and long hair spiky and unkempt. Kiba thought he looked...good.

The store clerk did not look the slightest bit afraid of the guns being pointed at him. The man was big, exotice blue eyes, blond hair. He seemed okay with the situation, staring at both robbers as if his scrutinizing gaze would stop their actions.

The first robber growled at Kiba. "This is my fucking store. Get out of here."

"Fuck you." The Inuzuka snarled. His frustration built by the seconds and leaving this store without the money would kill him. "You'll have to kill me. I need this money."

"I do-"

The door opened again and a cop walked in. He was short, but obviously the real deal as his dark eyes narrowed. His uniform was crisp and clean. The store clerk's eyes fell on the beautiful being and the cop raised two pistols at Kiba and the other robber.

When he spoke, it had been uneven and unprofessional. "Too bad boys. This is my fucking store."

Kiba's eyes widened and he tore of his mask in utter shock. Here he'd been, attempting to rob a store, when two others were doing so as well. Konoha's grimy city had tons of small stores to steal from. Had word gotten out that this had the money.

One a normal kid; seemed bored, tired, and not very interested in the money any longer. The other a teenage policeman. It was a costume, but Kiba gave it to the raven. He played it well.

A slight chuckle ceased their staredowns and they turned to the clerk. He'd been relaxed the whole time and Kiba wanted to know why.

The clerk leaned forward, watching the cop's dark eyes. "None of you seem to understand. I came in here ten minutes ago. When I saw the right opportunity, I hit the clerk upside his head with my rifle. Knocked him out good. Went to get the camera feed. I stomped it then. And Just as I nearly opened the register, here comes this lazy guy. This, boys, is my store."

The bored robber raised a brow and looked over the counter, along with Kiba and the fake cop. And sure enough, the clerk had been sitting up, but sleeping.

Kiba's eyes widened. "How'd you do it?"

The blond shrugged. "I just did it. There's no use of going loud and dumb when you can go smart and quiet. I'm not interested in great. I want to know who raised him."

"Fuck. Names, you three have them, right? Mine's Kiba."

The blond nodded, still watching the raven police stare at him. He himself kept his gaze strict upon the raven. He was pretty, but he was sloppy too. An ammature about to go pro, the teen assumed. "Naruto."

The raven cop hummed and blushed slightly, finally looking away. "I'm Sasuke. I just came for quick cash."

They turned toward the last teen, who'd been carefully calculating them. "Shikamaru. This may sound troublesome, but I have a joint idea."

Naruto nodded, opening the register and counting quick. It was only a matter time before someone walked in.

"I see that we have skills. Different skills that can be placed in one cup. Skills that can be used for bigger work. How do you all feel about the government?"

Sasuke spoke first, his pretty eyes narrowing. "Fuck them. They let the worst shit pass by."

Kiba laughed boisterously. "Their idiots."

Shikamaru nodded and they turned to Naruto. Sasuke blushed again. "What about you? The government?"

Naruto shrugged. "The kids. The kids need better lives and the government doesn't give a shit about the orphans."

"Good." Shikamaru stated. "We're on the same page. Now I think we can help one another. How about we test a small….shop. If it works out, we can go from there."

Sasuke nodded. "I stole a cop car. We should decide now. I also have a warehouse mansion. It cost some money, but it's good."

Naruto folded his arms. "How can I trust you? You seem to have money already. Why rob a store? Not sure if I can trust someone so….pretty."

Sasuke lowered his guns. "Excitement. I've been off the grid for a few years after my family was murdered. And you can trust me. I swear to it." the teen had been blushing terribly as Naruto calculated him.

Eventually, the blond pushed a stack of money toward the raven. He handed another to Kiba and another to Shikamaru.

"Your cuts. We have 2000 yen each." He muttered.

Kiba stared astonished. "But...we didn't do much. You were here first and got the money before anyone."

Naruto shrugged. "Doesn't matter. You all made the trip." He closed the registers and wrote a note.

Sasuke leaned forward. "What's that?"

Naruto showed the note, and it's words. 'You forget a thousand things everyday. Make sure this is one of them.'

Sasuke laughed softly, Kiba boisterously. Naruto just shrugged. "Can't say it to him. Now, who's helping me out before this guy wakes up?"

Sasuke smiled. "I'm getting us all out of here."

Shikamaru smirked and when Naruto hopped over the counter, the raven pressed a button. An alarm.

Kiba held the door for the four. "I'm driving, Sasuke. Just incase you're a real cop."

The Uchiha shrugged. "Fine by me."

Naruto unconsciously held the small of Sasuke's back as they walked near the Konoha police car. "While we're driving, I'd like to hear about how you got that cop car and costume."

Shikamaru hummed.

Sasuke smiled up at Naruto, gleam in his eyes. "I'm a sneaky one."

They had been working and living together for three months. Naruto found that he worked well with all of them.

Even if they were all sixteen, they were good. Naruto decided that teamwork could maybe play a role in his life.

Shikamaru obviously worked well with him. Naruto brought ideas to the table and Shikamaru confirmed them. The Nara had sight in things no one else noticed and made sure to give a smart approach of their first job. Other than such, the teen was great to speak with and learn from. Naruto had learned a few tricks with hacking a system.

Kiba was like Naruto the most. They were both a little sadistic, ironic, and unsympathetic. They both liked loud approaches and were fiercely loyal to everything they believed in. But, there was more to Kiba than anyone knew. Naruto saw it. Kiba had heart. More than anyone. He had places to go and he'd do anything to get there.

And the last was Sasuke. Naruto rubbed his chin at the thought of him. Sasuke Uchiha. He'd never met another teen like him. Sasuke had been wealthy before and the raven only lived a life of crime for excitement. He was odd as well. He didn't seem man enough to Naruto. But, he was good with providing and good with a gun.

Besides that, Sasuke seemed comfortable with Naruto. Too close for the blond's sanity. There was no day that the two didn't argue. Either the blond would say something stupid or Sasuke would cling to him too much. Naruto wasn't an idiot. He knew flirting and infatuation when he saw it. But, they were supposed to be serious. Of course Naruto called him beautiful everytime he acknowledged him, but it was completely friendly.

For three months, they'd been attempting to find a place they could case. And finally, while out getting food for the others, Kiba saw it. A local jewelry store. Not too close to the warehouse mansion.

Standing, the Uzumaki walked to his door with only sweatpants on. It was time.

The living room had been full. Sasuke was sitting on a pallette, Shikamaru and Kiba across from him.

Jokingly, the Uzumaki leaned against the wall, arms crossed. "What game are we playing?"

At the mention of his voice, as usual, Sasuke's head shot up and a small blush formed on his chalk face.

He smiled softly and wiggled his eyebrows. "The love game." He stated, half-joking, half-hinting.

Without thought or word, Naruto turned back around to his room, already sensing Sasuke's hurt expression. It had to be proven fact the Uchiha had never attempted to court lovers before.

With a sigh, the blond turned back around, sitting next to the observant Sasuke. Without looking, he spoke in a joking manner. "Sorry. Forgot my heart, beautiful."

It had been quiet for a moment until Sasuke jumped on Naruto with a smile, making the others laugh too.

When Sasuke calmed himself, Naruto rubbed his neck. "So what are we really doing now?"

Shikamaru shrugged. "We're waiting on your call? You did say you had something."

Naruto's lips pierced forward. "My call?"

Kiba laughed. "Yeah, man. Come on. Show us what you have."

Naruto stood and began walking toward the setup room, his new team following.

"Alright. As we know, this jewelry store holds a lot of cash. So much that we each could walk out with more than one million…" Kiba's eyes lit up. "..If we do this right."

The Namikaze began writing on the board Sasuke had already set up. "We have two ways of doing this. Loud and dumb, or smart and quiet.

The blond picked up some photos of the ANBU police force and their vans.

"If we go loud, we'll have to hijack an ANBU police force van and get some carbine rifles for the heist. We need masks too. And some bikes."

Sasuke nodded.

"The plan is to go in with helmets and force the hostages down. Two of us ransack the jewelry cases while a gunman watches the hostages and another stays in the the city sewers with a truck, another thing we'll need."

Sasuke raised his hand.

"You don't need to raise your hand, beautiful."

"Oh...is there another plan to go through? Providing everything besides the carbine rifles may be easy."

"There's another. The best way is to go in smart. We'll still need the bikes and truck, but we'll also need gas grenades, gas masks, and extermination costumes."

Shikamaru nodded. "The other day, Sasuke and I went out and we saw that there's some construction going on in the building next to the store. Right next to that is the vent leading to the store."

Kiba cheered. "Alright! And all we have to do is use the bikes and escape to the tunnels."

"Right." Naruto spoke. "Today, we need to go out and get all of our things. Who's going where?"

Sasuke stood. "I guess I'll go and get the the masks, as well as three exterminator costumes. After I fix you a suit and make you look older, Naruto."

Naruto nodded. "So I'm going inside to case it out more?"

Sasuke nodded. "I have the perfect beard for you." the Uchiha laughed under his breath and walked out, making Naruto smile and shake his head.

Shikamaru stood and walked to the computer. "I guess I'll hack someone else's account and buy some non-fatal gas grenades from the ammo store."

Kiba smiled. "It is so fucking awesome how you could do that. Could you get me a location of an extermination company? Bugs or something? I need to get the van."

Shikamaru nodded and began typing. "I'll also have to give Naruto these camera glasses for the store."

Before Naruto knew it, Sasuke walked in with a black suit, shoes, and a fake blond beard. "I have your things, Mr. Uzumaki." He sang softly.

Naruto nodded. Having been in his own comfort zone and feeling comfortable with the guys, the blond pulled off his sweatpants, showing off his briefs.

Sasuke blushed and looked away, quickly handing him the clothes. "Hurry." he mumbled.

The blond nodded and first slipped on his pants and undershirt. Next was the jacket and tie. And finally the black shoes and socks.

He opened his arms. "How do I look, beautiful?"

Sasuke smiled softly. "Great, Dobe."

With a shrug, the Uzumaki waited for Shikamaru to give his glasses. The Nara handed them over.

"These are the real deal. When you get to the store, call us. That way, I can snap the pictures of the alarm system and vents when you look at them."

Naruto nodded and placed on his glasses. "How do I look?"

"Older." Kiba answered. "Ugly too."

Naruto chuckled. "Ass. Godspeed guys."

Naruto walked into the jewelry store with class. He looked around slowly as Shikamaru spoke in his ear. I need a good picture of the vents, Naruto.

The blond looked up at a white vent as it blew out air toward the entirety of the store. Got it.

To create subtleness, Naruto walked over and leaned down over a case of jewelry. "How are Kiba and Sasuke doing?" He asked in a soft murmur. Neither the guards by the door nor the cashier would know what he said.

Sasuke's just got back from the costume store with the exterminator overalls and masks. Kiba's found a way behind the extermination company factory where the vans are held. He should be back now. Get me sights on the alarm system.

Naruto looked up at the system and heard a small click. Alright, go ahead and case it as good as you can. Goodluck.

Naruto softly walked up to the counter as he heard Kiba and Sasuke's voices. Is my love done yet?

Where is that fox?

Then Shikamaru's hiss.

Shh. Guys, Naruto has to remain under control and case this. Listen, boys. You're about to see whether the history of our first heist is a good one.

Naruto smiled at the woman. "'xcuse me. Uh...I'm looking for something really good for my lady here. Really cheap, but still good quality. This ain't my wife we're talking about, thank god."

The woman giggled and Naruto knew he'd gotten her. She smiled. "Well sir, this jewelry is not only the best quality, but together they equal up to 4.9 million yen. However, I'm sure we can make out a deal."

Fucking A. Alright, N. We got her. Close it.

Naruto grimaced. "Uh. That's going to go out of my budget, I know. You know what, I'll see what else she likes. I'll come back to you though, pretty lady."

She giggled and Naruto walked out, walking to his car away from the store. He heard a huff in the background and assumed it had been Sasuke.

She wasn't pretty at all, Naruto. Don't be an idiot.

Naruto only laughed. It was time. They'd either fuck this up or live as legends. Naruto was ready for either.

"This is it, guys." The blond stated as he finished going over the plan for the eighth time. "This is going to make us fucking gods if we do this right. Anyone nervous."

All three of them nodded. Shikamaru bit his thumb. "Even if I'll be hacking the alarm system and using the truck, I've never been hands on."

Sasuke nodded. "I've done small stores, but never this."

Kiba nodded in agreement. Naruto understood. They didn't have instinct like him. That wasn't bad either. If it were the case, heads would bump and nothing would get done.

"If we keep our heads cool, We'll get away good. Don't worry."

Without thought, the blond leaned off the table. "Alright, Kiba. You're coming with me so that you can sneak up to the roof and throw the gas grenades into the vent. Sasuke bring the extermination truck.

Shikamaru, hook up the truck and give us sight. Bring the bikes out when you're ready."

Naruto fixed his extermination overalls, grimacing at the ugly red color. "Naruto." A timid voice called.

He looked up, finding Sasuke watching with a small blush on his cheeks. Naruto smiled. "Yeah, Sas?"

"Even with this ugly boiler suit, how do I look?"

Kiba shook his head with a smile and followed Shikamaru out. Naruto stared at the Uchiha for the longest moment. He'd turned the raven down before. Their work was professional, but Sasuke was persistent. Beautiful and tricky, but also timid and odd.

Sasuke smiled up at him, the large glint in his eyes of pure admiration. Naruto smiled and sat against the desk and Sasuke came and buried his face against his chest.

He sighed when the raven balled his fists into the blond's jumpsuit.

He didn't know how the Uchiha seemed so confident when he flirted with Naruto, but he felt diminished when it came to his looks. Did he think Naruto deemed him hideous?

He held the confidence in anything, but he self-deprecated himself. Naruto wanted to know where it all came from? The thoughts of the Uchiha being not good enough?

He hugged the Uchiha close. This is what made him weak. "You're beautiful." He mumbled, fully meaning it.

Sasuke laughed softly into his chest and moved away, placing his hands on Naruto's chest. "Are you ready?"

"Super." The blond mumbled, waiting for his own excitement to die down.

"Godspeed, Naruto."

"Godspeed to us all."

Sasuke walked out, Naruto following close behind.

When he and Kiba began driving, the blond averted his eyes to the beaming Inuzuka.

"The fuck's going through your head, man?"

"You and Sasuke."

"Me and Sasuke." The blond repeated, unsure.

"Yeah. I think he really likes you."

"We're teens, Kiba. That rich kid knows nothing about love. He sees something good looking and someone who can overpower him for once is all."

"I don't know. I think he genuinely likes you. I see how he looks at you. When you were talking about your life, he seemed very interested and genuine about your goals to help the orphanage."

"Hm." Naruto was intrigued.

"When you stayed in late, and he made you tea and soup. When he asks about you. Shika sees it. I see it. You see it too. What's the problem?"

"Don't know what he sees. I'm as average as he is. Even more so that he was nourished with wealth."

"I think that's why he likes you. He likes that you took control of your life."

Naruto pulled before the building. "Alright, Kibs. What about you and Shikamaru?"

Kiba raised a brow. "I have no interest in Shikamaru whatsoever."

Naruto snorted. "A good liar. Hey, go on in. I'll think about what you said, but right now, we have to get this together."

Kiba smiled and nodded. "Godspeed, N."

When the Inuzuka walked in, Naruto pulled out his intercom. "Shikamaru, Sasuke, come in. What's your status?"

The Uchiha spoke first. "I'm coming right around, Naruto. Park your car, please."

Then Shikamaru. "I'm delivering the bikes. I have two, so two of you are going to have to drive through the tunnels. The other has to destroy the van and pick up Naruto's car."

"Kiba's good with that." Naruto stated, parking his car and reminding himself of the location. "He's good with anything car related."

The blond hopped out and jogged the rest of the way to the jewelry store. Right where Sasuke had pulled up and fixed his hat.

"Kiba how's it looking up there?"

"I've got two in. Should I stop?"

"One more, you don't want to kill them."

Naruto walked up to the store, looking sideways slightly. He could hear the woman in the store yell. "I told them to fix that goddamn AC."

Laughing slightly, he watched as the store occupants fell down, slumbered. Sasuke placed his gasmask on and grabbed two heavy bags and another.

He hopped out and smiled softly at Naruto. "Ready, Handsome man?"

Naruto chuckled. "Ready, beautiful. Kibs, come down now."

"On it."

Sasuke and Naruto opened the doors, and with heavy gloves, began smashing the glass. They ran their forearms down the cases of jewelry, watching them drop into the bag with clangs.

Shikamaru spoke. "I killed the cameras and the alarm system. 120 seconds before it comes back on."

Kiba ran in and Sasuke threw him his own bag, going outside to watch. Kiba broke a case and slid the gold and silver in the bag.

"Fucking yes." He mumbled.

There were two cases left. Shikamaru sounded. "Ten seconds, guys."

Naruto went to one and broke it, Kiba to the other.

As they placed the case within, the alarm began to blare. Naruto dropped his bag and zipped it, slinging it over his shoulder. "That's us."

"We've got cops coming in one minute." Shikamaru stated.

"Just enough time for Kiba to take and destroy the van."

The walked outside and Kiba froze. Sasuke sat on his bike, but a security guard had been there, telling him to move.

"You can't be here, sir."

Naruto growled and grabbed the security guard, throwing him onto the floor. "You forget a thousand things everyday, pal. You make sure this is one of them."

Sasuke smiled as Kiba threw him the duffle bag of jewelry. "About to head out."

"Godspeed, Kiba. And leave no evidence."

Sasuke wiped his brow. "Please stay safe, Kiba."

"I will. I will."

When Kiba pulled out, Naruto and Sasuke made sure their duffle bags were strapped correctly. "Cops coming down the street."

The blond pulled off. "Follow me, beautiful."

When they pulled out into the streets, there were three ANBU police force cars behind them. The blond pulled out a small rifle. Still driving alongside the highway, he turned back to Sasuke. "Head down."

The Uchiha complied, watching as Naruto shot out the tires of two of the cop cars. "Nice."

"Sharp left here." The blond turned toward a damaged part of the freeway. It hadn't been finished, meaning that anyone could fall off through the gap.

Naruto had made it through successfully, but Sasuke had yelped.

"You got this, beautiful." Sasuke's bike flew off the the highway and down into a lower one.

"Shit!" He yelled, laughing nervously.

Naruto smiled and moved on. "Come on. To the tunnels. We're almost to you, Shika."

The tunnels were dark and moist, creating loud splashes as it kissed the tires of their bikes. "Naruto! I see a light."

Naruto nodded. "That's right, beautiful. Stay optimistic. Kiba, how are you doing?"

Static breezed in his ear, before Kiba's obnoxious voice sounded. "Alright. I just set the van on fire from where we sat and I'm bringing your car in."

The Inuzuka sounded nervous. "Keep a steady head, Kibs. If you go down, we all go with you. And it's not because you'll rat us out. It's because we're your friends."

Kiba laughed lightly. "Alright, man. I'm coming. Hold your horses."

"Shikamaru. We're coming out."

The blond reached the end of the tunnel first, smiling as his bike flew in the air for a hot second and splashed back down into shallow water.

Turning to the right, he watched Shikamaru pull up alongside of the plateau. "Where are the cops?"

Naruto didn't remove his helmet as he and Sasuke drove into the bus. "Lost them. Let's stash the truck and lay low for about four weeks."

Naruto happily munched on his cereal as he sat in the kitchen. Shikamaru was watching the television shakingly.

"I don't understand how you aren't nervous about this. We just fucking walked away with $1,263,538 yen each, Naruto. That's enough be unemployed for a few years. How can they not be on us?"

Kiba walked in with a yawn, followed by Sasuke, who came and sat upon Naruto's lap without thought. He yawned as well, laying his head against the blond's chest.

Naruto would give him consent, but only today.

"The problem with you three is that you're too pessimistic."

Sasuke laughed softly.

"We took our jewelry to four different villages in this country to pawn it for the money. That was four weeks ago. If they haven't found us now, they never will."

Kiba nodded in reassurance. "Yeah. Yeah, man. You're right."

"Fucking A. Now can we all relax? It's been five months since the job and we haven't celebrated yet."

Sasuke smiled. "We should definitely go out to a club tonight."

Naruto laughed wholeheartedly, making the Uchiha pout and attempt to kiss him. Naruto pushed him away.

"What's so funny, dobe?"

"I can't go out. We'll have to drink alcohol here. I'm completely broke."

Kiba's mouth opened as they all quieted down. "How the fuck did you spend over one million yen in five months?"

Naruto laughed. "Isn't the news on?"

Sasuke leaned up and grabbed the remote, flicking the channel to the news. Again, for the second time in three months, the mayor had been standing before the now closed down jewelry store.

The man was old, past his years, and yet still living. The news spokeswoman continued to speak to the camera.

"The police have turned up new leads in their investigation into the recent robbery of Daimyo's jewelers in the hidden leaf. They believe the crime was tied to a purchase of BZ gas.

The package of the seven grenades had no IP address and was shipped to a movie theater, where it had been stolen. Police also believe the van used by the robbers was recently stolen from a Pest Control Warehouse in Southern Konoha.

Despite making these connections, investigators are no closer to finding the suspects who cleaned out the store for nearly five million yen of jewels, escaped on motorcycles, and evaded police in the Sewage streams. The police are not yet close to making an arrest. Witness Fuka Rajem, although present, could not identify anything about the suspects."

Naruto laughed and Shikamaru calmed a little. The witness had been the same security guard who tried to move Sasuke.

"The guy, I don't know who he was, but he throws me on the ground and says some crazy things. Telling me that I forget a thousand things everyday. I was scared for my life."

Shikamaru laughed easily. "Naruto, you fucking nut."

The anchor returned to speaking. "While the heist had left the city to wonder, there is still good going on in the world today. Konoha orphanage, Konoha's haven for parent and guardianless children, holding more than fifty children, is in great spirits. The orphanage was blessed when an anonymous civilian donated exactly $1,000,000 yen to their expenses.

The orphanage head, Shizune, instantly placed the money within the children's education funding. Here's Yoshi at the orphanage now."

The camera changed to a young man, standing outside of the orphanage. In the background, the head stood hugging one of the younger children close.

The reporter walked over to the head for some words. "I have Shizune, the orphanage head, for words."

Shizune smiled with tears in her eyes. "Whoever did this will forever be remembered. After the wars, no one really understood how important it was for orphans to have the lives just as others did. I've raised so many children. Saw them come and go, but whoever did this, I will love them always."

Naruto smiled fondly as Sasuke stared back at him. "What?"

The Uchiha smiled. "Nothing."

They watched as the anchor crouched down to the child, asking him what he wanted to be.

"When I grow up, I want to be astronaut and have nice house. I want to help the orphanage just like they did."

The anchorwoman stood with a smile and Shikamaru clicked the television off. He turned to Naruto. "Where's the other $263, 538 yen?"

Naruto smirked with his eyes closed. "Shizune raised me since I was in diapers. Literally, there are pictures of me as I grew hanging in her office. She always told me 'it doesn't matter where you start, as long as you finish.'

When I was growing up, she was all I had. I gave her the rest of the money. She knows I donated."

Kiba gasped. "What if she-"

"She won't. She was the one who'd gotten me hooked into the heist business. Before she began running the orphanage, she was doing that."

Sasuke began to laugh crazily, shaking in Naruto's lap. Kiba only shook his head.

Naruto looked to his other friend, making sure he calmed himself. Shikamaru's shoulders sagged completely and he fell onto the countertop with a smile of his own.

The heist was simple greed and malice, a form of revenge toward the government served on a platter of ice. They took everything, sentimental as well as valuable on the market. With these guys, and Naruto as the calm leader, he felt secure. This was the pattern he was raised with, this was the world he knew.

The Nara clutched his fist. Even if he did get kicked out of the house at fifteen, he'd send a bit of money to his mother. It was the least he owed her. Just like Naruto felt indebted to the organization that gave him hope.

Shikamaru smiled and moved back, leaning on the heater. "You're right, N. You're a good leader."

Kiba smiled. "Don't stand too close to the heater, babe. Plastic melts."

The Nara laughed with the others. "Ass." He stuck up his middle finger to Kiba who simply blew a kiss.

"Don't laugh, Sas." Naruto stated. "That's advice for future reference."

Instead of laughing, Sasuke stood and punched Naruto. "Asshole." He muttered, walking out. "I'm real."

Naruto laughed a little, watching the Uchiha storm into his room and slam the door.

The other teens were snickering under their breaths quietly.

Eventually, the blond looked back at the television with a smirk. "He'll be fine. He loves me too much to stay angry."

And that's that. I really hope you guys like this story as much as I do. Also, Akamaru will be in this story. Sorry to those who really wanted to see other stories first. This was the main one I had worked out and I didn't want to put a stop to ones I really didn't have together. I hope you all understand my like of completing a story. Please review. :)
