"Get back here," yelled the police officer.
"Screw you dude," spouted a young teenage boy.
"This is your last warning," Yelled the police officer again.
"Sorry, but I got a date with the ground floor," with that the boy jumped from the third floor. He landed, tucked into a roll, got back to his feet, and continued to run.
The officer ran over to the edge pulled his gun and fired three bullets. The boy was hit in his right shoulder, but he continued to run. He performed a wall run into a vault over the high fence. When he landed he collapsed; he was loosing consciousness. Before he passed out a figure walked out of the shadows and asked," What is your name?"
" Uzumaki, Uzumaki Naruto," and with that the boy passed out.
3 Days Later…
Sprint, Wall Run, Vault, Roll. These were the sequences Naruto was taking in his dream. Just as he was about to jump the gap, "WAKE UP!"
Naruto shot up and immediately regretted it as pain racked his right side. His eyes shot left then right and he didn't see anyone, but even more important was the fact he had no idea where he was. Just as he was about to get up the door shot open to reveal a man. The man looked to be in his early twenties with a scar across his nose and his hair pulled back and tied with a rubber band. He wore a blue long sleeve shirt with a green vest with the white kanji for Konoha Legends on the front left side, a pair of blue cargo pants, and a pair of blue running shoes.
"Finally awake are we," said the man.
"Who are you and where am I," asked Naruto.
"I am Iruka Umino and you are in a room," responded Iruka saying the last part with a slight hint of sarcasm.
"Well this is great. I get chased by cops, shot, wake up with severe pain, and get a sarcastic asshole as my 'nurse'. How much worse can it get," stated Naruto in an annoyed tone.
"Hey Captain Iruka!" The voice was feminine and confident.
"Yes Tenten?" Just as Iruka was about to leave the room to talk to the girl now identified as Tenten she walked through the door.
Naruto was dumb struck at the sight of this girl.
She wore a white tank top with a pair of grey track pants and black running shoes. She light brown hair up in two buns with the most magical pair of brown eyes. Just as Naruto was admiring this girl he noticed his clothes were missing.
"Before you two start to talk I need to know where are my clothes and where is my vest?" Iruka looked at Tenten then at Naruto and said, "your clothes were tattered and old so we got rid of them and as for your vest," at this point Iruka walked over to the only closet in the room and pulled out the vest.
The vest was solid white with an orange-red fox head taking up the back of the vest. On the front right side was Kyuubi no Kitsune in black kanji and around the collar was fir dyed red and orange to look like fire was sprouting around the neck.
At the sight of the vest the girls eyes just about popped out.
"You're…you're-," before she could finish she was cut off.
"Was," started Naruto, " the leader of the Parkour no Bijuu." Tenten got stars in her eyes at this, "you were the most notorious free running gang of them all!"
Naruto just looked away and responded in a low voice, " until A.S.T.F captured Nibi, Sanbi, Yonbi, Gobi, Rokubi, and Nanbi." Tenten and Iruka looked confused at this announcement.
"Who are you talking about Naruto," asked Iruka.
"Well…wait, how do you know my name?"
"Easy. I was the one who found you and brought you back here," stated Iruka.
"Oh. Well thanks."
"No problem, but now tell us who this A.S.T.F is."
Naruto traded his look of sadness to one of absolute hatred, " it stands for Akatski Special Task Force. They are assigned to hunt down the members of Parkour no Bijuu by any means necessary." At this Iruka's eyes went wide and Tenten looked even more confused.
"So you are telling me that the police assigned an entire task force just to take down nine runners," said Iruka, "that's a little hard to believe Naruto."
"Well that's what happens when you accidentally stumble upon something the government doesn't want you to see." At this Iruka's eyes turned into saucers and Tenten went wide eyed.
"What did you find?"
At this Naruto realized what he had done, "look, just by telling you this and being here I have put you both in danger so I am not going to say anymore, and as soon as I get some clothes I am leaving so no one will get hurt."
"No you are not Naruto," said a man from the door.
"Says who?"
The man walked in, "Says your godfather!"
"My WHAT?!"
"You heard me Naruto. Your godfather," said the man in the doorway.
"And who the hell mite that be old timer," asked Naruto in a very annoyed tone.
"Me," responded the man. At this Naruto felt a mixture of emotions. Happiness, sadness, confusion, then finally anger.
".OF.! You let me sit in that orphanage thinking I had no one!"
"Calm down Naruto," said the man.
"You waltz into my life 16 years late and have the gall to tell me to CALM DOWN! Fuck you old man!"
"Stop calling me old man. My name is Jiraiya," said the now revealed Jiraiya.
"Well Jiraiya, I have one thing to say to you," Naruto paused then said," .HELL."
"Nice to meet you as well Naruto." Naruto glared at the man. He stood a good 6 feet tall and wore a silk crimson suit with maroon crocodile skin loafers.
"Frankly I don't give a damn if you are my godfather. You weren't there when I needed you so I don't care," said Naruto as he looked at Iruka. "Were can I get some clothes if you disposed of mine?"
"Easy. Tell Tenten here what you want and what size and I will send her into town to get it," stated Iruka.
"But I don't have any money Iruka," stated the blonde dejectedly.
"Money is no object Naruto," said Jiraiya as he started to walk over to Naruto's bedside.
"Well, if it wasn't an object then why is our world based around it," questioned Naruto in a sarcastic yet annoyed tone.
Jiraiya just looked at the boy a minute as if he was analyzing him and said, "let me rephrase that. I am going to buy your clothes."
"Thanks, but no thanks. I don't take hand outs, "said Naruto in an don't-you-dare-pity-me tone with a matching look.
"Think of it as an apology Naruto from Jiraiya," said Iruka as he tried to play peace-maker.
"What dos he have to apologize for. He only let me sit in an orphanage until I ran away when I was twelve. I don't want anything from him except for him to leave me alone." At this point Tenten decided to rejoin the conversation.
"Then why don't you let him buy your clothes and than you can work here with our 'delivery' company until you get the money to pay him back."
"I already told you all that I am leaving."
"Alright then Naruto," started Tenten, "get up and leave." At this Naruto blushed and mumbled something under his breath. "What was that Naruto? I cant understand you."
"I don't have any clothes," said Naruto in an defeated tone.
"Then I guess you have no choice but to accept his help. Now, tell me what you want to wear," said Tenten in a clearly victorious tone.
"Orange tank top, forest green cargo pants, blue sports sun glasses, and blue and red running shoes."
"O.k. Jiraiya give me some money." To this Jiraiya handed her a credit card at which Tenten looked confused. "Jiraiya, I don't know your pin number."
Jiraiya looked at Naruto and said, "Naruto, what is your birthday?"
Naruto looked at him and said, "October 10th. Why?"
"1010 right," asked Tenten to Jiraiya to which he nodded. "I will be back in a little while." With that said Tenten left to go do some shopping.
Naruto was confused by this. "Why is my birthday your pin number?"
Jiraiya sighed and closed his eyes, contemplating on what to say. Finally he looked up with regret filled eyes and said, "the truth is that I couldn't find you. I came to the orphanage once I got back in town, but you were already gone. Now I know why."
Naruto looked down, hiding his eyes from them. "I need some time to think." With that Naruto laid back down and turned away from the two men.
"We will leave you alone until Tenten gets back, " stated Jiraiya and with that Iruka and Jiraiya left the room. Shutting the door on the way out.
Naruto decided to take a nap as the darkness finally over took him.
