The pavement cracked underneath his feet, another pit hole along the broken concrete mess that people called side walks. It was more like hop scotch the amount of time you had to jump across holes and doge the numerous scattered pieces of glass because the last pair of shoes you had, got basted off your feet in a fire bomb explosion, which you were still apologising to your friend about. Naruto Unzumaki 17 years old was walking back home with a bag full of alcohol, several tin of beans he stole and one bottle of fresh water, which he successfully stole from the Kakashi Hatake it was hard but he did it.

He came up to a run down apartment block, with broken widows, splinted doors and rotten door locks. However no petty thief would dare to enter their home, him and his friends were all trained assassins, elite projects of the ninja system for the reigning master group leaf. They were the upper dogs of this area and the ones who ruled, they had a collection of very powerful sub gangs, better known as clans who were on their side.

That was the world they lived in. A world of decay and anarchy, where humanity was the underdog and the cold and ruthless machine, genetically enhanced and altered super ego human soldiers ruled. Life was a battle field now the motto on the streets was kill, or be killed. Naruto and his two best friends Sakura and Sasuke were one of the only elite soldiers to ever escape the programme. All three were genetically altered to the specifically able to do their job, which was to fight for the Leaf against the Sound mafia. The three of them had abilities and skills that many would be terrified of. However these three were different, they were not like the rest of the cold blooded un feeling killing machines like all the other soldiers, oh no they had a conscience, they had emotions and the scope of rational thinking, they questioned orders and disobeyed if they did not agree. They were ultimately human, the incarnations of a lost humanity, just trying to survive and be happy in a world that was cruel and so unforgiving.

"Oi!" Naruto shouted as he walked inside the apartment, the living room was a disarray of empty beer cans and vodka bottles, with a worn out tatty sofa and an old plasma screen TV, Sasuke was trying to steal a top, state of the arts transparent fibre glass touchable screen with incoming call system and the inter web stream. Sakura refused to help, as she loved to watch him fail every single time he tried and Naruto wasn't that bothered.

A wave of pink came into his vision as Sakura stepped out of the bathroom, towel around her body, clinging to every beautiful curve on that perfect body she had. Her hair wet and falling across her bright green eyes and her lips were deep red, naturally, she was the perfect seductress beautiful and enticing, the most beautiful woman any man had ever seen which made life much easier for her; she could kill man she wanted dead. A prefect trained killing machine in the body of a Goddess.

"hey you get anything useful this time Naruto? I swear if I have drink another can of beer again I might just scream, do you know how tedious it gets to dilute it every single time to actually get water into the bloodstream?"

Ah yes, the very distinctive trait of a super solider from the elite programme. Because of their very nature they were made for ultimately battle in life/death situations so they had complete control over their bodies. This meant that the act of re-generation no longer took place in science lab. Oh no, these elitist were injected with a chemical that triggered steam cell growth whenever a new arm or leg needed to be grown back, the soldier had control over its growth. Perfect for on the battle field, now they could all fight until the very ghost of them was blow to pieces and forever washed up, all broken into the very fabric of reality.

"Hey Sakura we all have to do it okay shut up complaining," Sasuke said a smirk playing on his lips as he walked towards the pink haired beauty. Sasuke now he looked like any girls dream boy, tall, dark, brooding and had had a body of a God. He walked towards her sliding a hand around the hem of the towel as Sakura stared at him.

"Do anything funny I'll break your jaw again!"

"Oh! Sakura so feisty today you know I love it when your feisty your so much better in bed," His hands had circled her wrists and now locked them in a maniacal grip.

"Hey guys stop that for a minute would ya? I'm trying to feed us! Now who wants beans?" He pulled up a can and shook it in front of his friends with a hopeful grin on his face. Now beans were not the most exciting food, however you had to be part of the mafia higher ups to get anything decent. Sasuke looked at the sad tin with an incredulous look.

"No way man I'd rather get laid by this pretty little thing," His eyes turned back to Sakura and smouldered with black fire. There was no doubt that Sasuke had wanted Sakura ever since they were little, however his pride got in the way during their time at the programme and she became disenchanted with him, or so she claimed so now she would go around sleeping with other guys, all apart from Sasuke. They agrued a lot about it but they always made up in the end, she could never stay made at him for long, or naruto for that matter they were the most important things to her in the world. To naruto these two were like his brother and sister to him and for Sasuke, Sakura was some beautiful angel he would always protect whilst Naruto was like his brother. Their bonds deep and unbreakable.

Sasuke went flying across the room as Sakura had used her stupidly inhuman strength to over power him.

"God Sasuke get off me! And stop watching me fuck other guys please its so disgusting,"

"Hey! You stop getting jealous when I bring girls back here then," He retorted back looking quiet proud of his wit.

"I'm not jealous! it's a security matter, you can't just bring anyone here what if they aren't as thick as they seem? What if they figure out who we are? You know we are wanted by the mafia!" She half screamed and half whispered the last part.

"You bring guys back," Sasuke's face changed into a sour look.

"Yeah we know them,"

"GUYS! FOOD! ARE YOU LISRENING!?" Naruto screamed. The two of them signed and took the food off Naruto. Placing the can on their hands they ran an electrical current up their bodies to heat the can, they had the exo - skeleton stucture of a human being so their body was hot blooded, despite the major re- modling that had gone on in their bodies during The Programme.

Naruto and Sasuke kicked back with the several cans of beer and Sakura went off into her room returning back in a several sizes to small t shirt and hot pink shorts which were very small and empathised her delicious curves whilst the t shirt showed off her rather impressive rack. She reached for the bottle of water and settled down on the floor curling up next to Sasuke's legs.

"What we watching?"

"who knows," Replied Naruto his eyes just staring at the screen, beer can in hand and his bare chest chiselled to perfection was rising and falling softly.

The T.V projected its images all around the room, its government propaganda on again, glorifying the mafia and violence the blatant hatred that was splashed across the news about their rivals the sound. Everyday it was another story of the leafs dominance, the sounds loss. A mighty death toll of civilians was something to be proud of, not scorned and looked down at.

News of civilian bombs, houses, streets, water supplies, food supplies, energy resources was to be a victory to which ever side had managed this monstrosity this time round. No morals, no humanity, no love, no nothing and yet in this little apartment room; with a battered up old sofa a cheap T.V a room surrounded with beer and wine bottles lay three friends together. The pink haired girl asleep cradled up by the dark haired boy, the boy with the blond hair his head resting on the pinkettes shoulder a protective arm across her waist.

In a world so without morals, a culture of violence and the quality of humanity slowly fading isn't it good to know that somewhere amongst all this love exists between friends, a sacred and most unconditional love?

And hey who knows one day maybe this love could actually do some good to this world …. Don't you agree?

(first chapter. Not a story really about couples, it's more about the people, so of course there will be couple stuff going on but it will not be dominant in the story, however there will be lemon.
This fic will get more violent and gory so be warned.)
