Chapter 1: A Mercenary For Hire

(Opening A/N: Okay, I don't know if this one isn't done before, but I'm going to give a shot at it. Naruto has come to the corrupt city of Ergastulum in hopes to make a name for himself. Naruto happens to be a lethal mercenary for hire. He did many jobs for different types of people, crime lords, politicians, police, and anyone who was willing to pay him money. He happens to see a lot of people kill and die in his carrer as a soldier of fortune. He specializes in guns and martial arts, and he has a record of 57 confirmed kills. He even has the nickname, "The Crimson Fox." Also insead of using ninja weapons, I'll be using guns. For this story, the pairing is going to be NarutoXAlex and FYI for those who don't read Gangsta, Alex is a Woman. And Naruto is going to be a full fledged adult. This story is rated M for the usual stuff, Blood and Gore, Graphic Violence, Adult Language, Nudity, Use of Drugs And Alcohol, and Strong Sexual Content. As for the disclaimer, I don't own Naruto for that is owned by Mashashi Kishimoto, and Gangsta is owned by none other than Kohske. Without further ado, LET'S GET IT ON!)

The city of Ergastulum, a city run by the four mafias, and a city of corruption, this is the story of how "The Crimson Fox" made history by making a name for himself in this corrupt city. Our so called "Hero" has a name, Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto was a former U.S. Army Ranger who served in the 5th batallion, he also made it to the rank of captain, after hat, he was given an honorable discharge for his services. But he wanted to fight more until he drew his last breath, so he became a mercenary and joined a PMC called "Hotel Foxtrot." He also happens to be a guerilla tactician knowing how and when to strike the enemy. A client has given Naruto an assassination job in Ergastulum, a corrupt politician who has a stake in prostitution of Ergastulum and uses that money to promote his campaign. He met the client at a local bar in another town with no name. The client placed a picture of the target that needs to be killed on the table.

"This man here, needs to be dealt a swift and painless death for what he did to us. Especailly for killing my girlfriend." The Client said as he slid the picture of the target to Naruto.

"Alright, but my services don't come cheap. Here's my rate, all up front and in cash." Naruto as he slid the price for his services, he then took a sip of his beer.

"Send me a photo of the dead politician and I will pay you double the price you are offering." The client replied, and Naruto swallowed the alcoholic brew with such fervor.

"Consider it done, but I will need a vehicle to get to the destination." Naruto said, and the client had it taken care of, he decided to give him keys to one of his Hummers that was taking up too much space.

The vehicle was parked outside, but the client had a $400,000 sports car, so he knew that he was going to be taken care of. Naruto loaded all of his stuff into the Hummer that the client has given him as part of his compensation. But the job was only the beginning, He took the new vehicle and drove to the outskirts of Ergastulum. He got out of the Hummer, and took a look at the city, it turned out that he knew someone there, they used to be friends when they were kids and hopefully she's still there. Her name is Alex Benedetto, and she was a resident of Ergastulum.

"So, this is Ergastulum huh? And the client wants the politician dead, huh? Well, first thing's first, I gotta find Alex and see if she can help me with this job." Naruto said to himself, he got back in the vehicle and drove into the city.

As he looked around he knew this place was a complete shit hole. Prosititues having sex in the alleys for everyone to see, kids playing around, and people getting killed. This was like the time he worked in another job in another place which I won't name, but it was located in Thailand. Just then a guy with a gun comes up to Naruto pointing an Uzi at the experienced mercenary. Naruto rolls down his window to see what he wants.

"You must be new around here, so why don't you get out of the vehicle and be a good little boy and step out of the car." The guy with the Uzi said, Naruto drew one of his dual Heckler and Koch Mark 23 semi automatic pistols and shot the guy right in the kneecap.

"Word of advice, if you're going to shoot, do it. Don't stand there like a bump on a fucking log." Naruto spat he then gets out of the vehicle and picks the injured guy up as if he were a sack of potatoes. "Where can I get a beer along with some information around here?" Naruto asked holding the guy who tried to shoot him by the collar if his shirt.

The two bit thug pointed to a nearby building which happened to be a local bar and an apartment complex. Naruto decided to show the thug some mercy since he's not really the low life that kills someone who doesn't deserve it, but the thug mistakened it for weakness and grabbed his pistol. Naruto beat him at the draw and shot the Uzi out of the thug's hands.

"What the fuck?!" The thug cursed, Naruto then holstered the pistol as he walked into the bar, the music was really loud and crappy, smoke filled the air causing Naruto to pull out a cigarette and light it up. He walked up to the bar, and the bartender placed an ashtray onto the bar for him.

"What can I get for you?" The bartender asked, Naruto only had one thing on mind as he pulled out his wallet.

"Can I get a beer?" Naruto asked as the bartender pulled out a bottle from the cooler and used a bottle opener to pop the top off.

"That'll be $4.50 for the beer." The Bartender said, and Naruto placed a $20 bill on the bar, the bartender held it up in the light and checked it to make sure that it wasn't fake or anything.

He saw that the bill was real so he went over to the regiester and rung up the purchase, he also made some change for the drinking mercenary and Naruto placed the money back into his wallet and slid his wallet into the back of his blue skin tight denim jeans.

"I have a question, a couple to be exact, one do you know this guy by any chance? And two, do you know where I can find Alex Benedetto?" Naruto asked, handing the barkeep the picture of the target, luckily the bartender had answers for those two questions.

"Okay, yeah I know this guy, he's trying o muscle in on the prostitution around here and cut the money from the four families in able to fund his campaign. And for the second, Alex is working for a couple of dudes that call themselves 'HandyMen' There's a deaf swordsman named Nicolas Brown and a one eyed giggalo guy named Worick Arcangelo." The Bartender said and Naruto took another drag from his cigarette and followed it down with a swig of beer.

Just then, the door to the bar gets kicked open and the buddy of the injured thug was looking for some retribution.

"Which one of you sons of bitches just shot my friend here?" The second thug asked as he was holding the injured guy by having his buddy's arm wrapped around his neck and limped into the room with the second thug looking to do some damage for the injury that the person did.

"So you're looking for some payback huh? Well your friend there should've killed me instead of relying on you." Naruto said as he smashed the bottle against the bar about to use it as a weapon. "Let's take this outside." Naruto insisted, and it turns out that he has experience in hand to hand combat.

"After you stranger?" The thug said as he walked outside.

Naruto hasn't been here three minutes and he's already starting a ruckus...
