I do not claim any of the Naruto characters as my own.
I've written a modernized version of Naruto just to see where it goes and if I enjoy it :)
I hope you guys do too.

Dusting off his black suit, he fixed up his tie and picked up his handguns from the soot and rubble covered floor. Naruto dropped the empty magazine as he ducked behind a pillar, sliding the new magazines into the bottom of the gun. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, centring himself. He could hear the clicking of Sasuke's assault rifle being refilled, and he knew it was his chance to attack. He leapt out from behind the pillar, the handguns in each of his hands unloading, shooting in the direction of Sasuke, bullet after bullet racing towards his former friend. Sasuke dropped and dodged the bullets, falling behind a broken wall and Naruto landed behind another pillar.
"Just give it up Sasuke! Come back to the city," Naruto rubbed his temples and rested his head against the cool pillar. Pieces of plaster fell around him and he smirked. They'd torn the place up, yet somehow it was still standing, the old abandoned warehouse in Tulsa. Rounds of bullets were unloaded into the pillar that Naruto took shelter behind, shattering his protection into pieces. He scrambled from the fallen rubble and hid behind an unidentifiable piece of rubble. He stood and aimed in the direction of Sasuke's bullets, which were still being unloaded. Naruto jumped from the line of fire, but not before a bullet struck him in the chest. He fell, hitting the hard floor, his vision blurring…

Naruto rolled over and pulled the sleeping hat from his head, rubbing tenderly at his sleepy eyes. Though it seemed silly, even at the age of twenty two, to still keep hold, and wear, his childhood hat, he couldn't bring himself to throwing it away, no matter how old he got. Naruto stretched and glanced at the alarm clock beside his bed.
"9.30? Are you kidding me!" He leapt from the bed and dashed for the shower, stripping from his boxers and turning on the taps, too rushed to check the temperature before jumping in.
"Ahh!" Naruto squealed and blasted the hot water tap, dispelling the cold water that had chilled his muscular frame. He quickly soaped up and washed himself off, barely giving himself a chance to dry, before throwing on a pair of track pants and a singlet. He pulled on a hoody and fastened his sneakers, attaching his gun belt and securing his weapons, before heading to work.

He neatly parked his Nissan, alongside Sakura's delicate Mini. He smirked to himself and threw his bag over his shoulder as he walked into building that held the rest of his assassin workmates. He walked into the training room, throwing his bag to the wall and stretching his muscles, just as Kakashi, his teams Commander, walked in.
"Sorry I was late, I was…"
"Yeah, yeah save it Commander. We've got training to do, let's get to it," Sakura appeared at the doorway, Sai close at her heels. She wore a casual top, along with a pair of tights and sneakers. Sai smiled awkwardly at the team and stepped up beside Naruto. He wore a pair of track pants and a tank top too.
"Well then, ammo up,"
The team proceeded to load their weapons, Sai however, testing the sharpness of his blade. Sakura used handguns, like Naruto, but it gave her a chance for close combat moves, which she was excellent at. Naruto, however, liked using the handguns because of the way the cold metal fit snug within his palm, and how easy it was for him to aim and precisely kill his target, with such small and efficient weapons. He weighed the weapons on each hand and smiled down at them. He only used them when assigned to a target, but there would be a day these babies would bring down his arch enemy, even if it did pain him to think of what was expected of him when that day would come. His smile faltered and he looked up at his Commander, nodding.
"Let's get started. Sai, I want you to attack the holographic enemies in the next room. You need to beat your previous time score. But note, you will be required to think about your actions before you do them; keep this in mind," Sai nodded and marched through to the next room, closing the door behind him.
"Sakura," A tall man stepped forward, dressed in a flak jacket and a navy blue tracksuit beneath, their cities emblem, the shape of a Celtic leaf, stitched onto the sleeve. "You will be training with Yamiho. He specialises in close combat, and is a worthy opponent during your training,"
Sakura pounded his fist into her other palm and walked over the to the man, who took her into another room to train.
"Naruto, you will be training with me. We're going to work on your shooting ability, and trying to apply different motions for a more effective approach during a battle,"
A set of targets popped up before Naruto, spread across the training room.
"Lights," Kakashi called out and the lights blew out, an ultraviolet light above Naruto, his only source of vision. His white tank top glowed purple, the black emblem of the Celtic leaf standing out against the glow. "Aim for the targets,"
"Whatttttt? But I can't even see them!"
"That's the idea. You are a skilled handgun user, Naruto," Naruto mumbled under his breath and held his guns in front of his face. He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. He knew where the targets were, one was to his left, another to his right, then one straight ahead, off-centred to the right a little. 'This should be easy, no worries. I can do it,' Naruto aimed for the left, unloading two bullets into the target, pulling his hand to the right, he shot at the right one twice. He turned his body more to the right and pulled his left hand to sit alongside his right, shooting at the off-centred target.
"Piece of cake," He smirked. The lights switched back on, and Naruto growled, his hands dropping to his side. None of the bullets had lodged into the targets. In fact they missed them completely, digging into the training room walls.
"You've got to be kidding me! I aimed straight for them,"
"Obviously not, you need to concentrate harder Naruto," Naruto stood in the middle, and calculated the space between him and the targets. One fifty degrees left, the other fifty degrees right, the third in the back, forty degrees right. The lights blacked out once more, and Naruto closed his eyes. He turned fifty degrees to the left, shot at the target, fifty degrees back to the centre, drew in another breath, fifty degrees to the right, shot at the target, then ten degrees to the left, shooting once more.
"Done," The lights came back on, and all of the targets had received precise bullets to the centre of them. "Yes!" Naruto fist pumped his gun into the air and smiled victoriously.
"Nice. Now you must learn to shoot in motion,"
"Huh, you mean shoot and run?"
"And jump, and flip and land,"
"Oh cool…" A series of actions movies flitted through Naruto's mind. The stunt moves that seemed epic and impossible at the same time, Naruto was about to learn them all.
The door was opened and Shikamaru walked in, Hinata by his side, who smiled sweetly at Naruto. His stomach fluttered a little at the sight of her, the long hair pulled into a high pony tail and his body dressed in tights, boots and a purple jacket. 'Damn, she looks good today,' A cocky smile grew over his lips and he greeted them both.
"Shikamaru, what are you doing here?"
"Tsunade wants to see you Kakashi," Kakashi sighed and delicately placed the book he was reading during Naruto's training within his backpack, and slung it over his shoulder.
"Enough training for now Naruto," Shikamaru and Kakashi left the training room and Hinata stood before Naruto, her cheeks blushing a slight pink.
"So…" Naruto strutted towards Hinata and smiled cheekily at her. "Wanna go get some lunch?" Hinata flicked her hair over her shoulder and walked through the door, Naruto close at her heels like an obediently little puppy.
"As long as you're paying,"
