The Year is 3413. Most of earth has been covered in factories, skyscrapers, and slums. You see, in 2849 scientists discovered a planet a few solar systems over with features, such as climate, atmosphere and natural resources, similar enough to Earth's that it was inhabitable by humans. They named this planet Hera. Right away these and several other scientists, mechanics, and inventors got together to build a space shuttle that could travel at the speed of light. The final product of their work, christened the S.-year(1), was finished in 2875. During that same year all of the people who could afford to moved to Hera. There were several reasons for this mass migration. The biggest reason was pollution. Earth had become so polluted that it was causing some of its residents to mutate. Now all the rich people are gone and only poor people and criminals live on Earth. The poor try to save up enough money to get themselves off of this wretched planet while the criminals just sit in the jails or work in the factories waiting to die or for their sentence to be over. The pollution has gotten so bad over the years as Earth became more and more industrialized that one out of every eight people is a mutant. This number would be higher but a large number of mutants just die at birth. However this story isn't about these people, it is about one boy. And this boy's name is Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto is a 15 year old orphan boy. He lives in a rundown little apartment near the factory he works at for his first job. Naruto's second job was as a programmer for a large electronics company. He worked in a little office building on the other side of town. Just a little while ago Naruto left his second job to go home. Currently he is running from group of thugs. "Hey kid! Come back! Don't you wanna play?" One of the thugs yelled tauntingly after Naruto. Naruto ignored the comment, running into an abandoned apartment tower.
He ran up three flights of stairs, into an apartment, out a window, and up a fire escape. Then he jumped onto a different fire escape and climbed threw the nearest window. Luckily right next to the window he had climbed in to was a closet. Naruto entered the closet and jumped up onto the top shelf. Removing a ceiling panel he crawled up into the apartment directly above the one he was previously in.
Next he ran out of the apartment and started weaving his way through apartments, up fire escapes, back into other apartments and up the stairs, all the while being chased by the thugs. When Naruto reached the roof he thought he had lost the thugs. But Luck wasn't on his side today, because waiting for him on the roof was the thug that had taunted him before.
A second man came out of the stairwell while a third climbed onto the roof from the fire escape. Naruto assumed the other thugs were still in the building. "Now come on baby. If you don't struggle I promise it won't hurt . . . much!" The thugs seemed to find this statement hilarious. The men then started advancing on Naruto who was backing up to avoid them.
Suddenly Naruto couldn't feel anything under his feet. He had fallen off the roof! After realizing this Naruto squeezed his eyes shut and waited for the inevitable; he heard one of the thugs yell "Holy crap! He took a dive!" and then, nothing.
