Naruto spent the next few days laying low and spending his money whenever he felt like it. He had bought a few extra pairs of pants and some shirts along with some other hooded jackets from a struggling store on the East End. Later on he had scoped out a few other places in the richer area of Gotham called the Diamond District while getting a 20 inch TV for his apartment.
He would've stolen the thing but they were nice enough to offer free delivery and instillation. So he just paid for it and went about his business.
Sitting in his apartment and flipping through the regular TV stations that the antenna got, he hummed while looking at one of the news channels that reported another heroic deed done by Batman or Batgirl.
"What idiots," he muttered to himself. He had tried to be a good person once, to be a 'hero' and be loved by all. But they only loved you so long as you meet their expectations, once you fail them then they see you as another costumed menace.
He had learned from his mistakes, there are no true living heroes and he would no longer strive for praise and recognition. Sooner or later, they too will learn what he had in time.
The news came back from a commercial and reported on a collection of rare and priceless jewels that were going to be showcased at one of the Museums in Gotham.
The idea of stealing them crossed his mind and made him grin, this would be fun.

Lounging on a large, soft bed a lovely and sophisticated blond woman purred while watching the large TV across from the foot of her bed that showed the Cats-Eye Diamond.
"Oh Isis, just look at it," she cooed as she rubbed her gray cat behind the ears, "And it's in Gotham, how lucky for us!"
The house cat just continued to purr as the woman rubbed it.
"I can't wait to have it," The blond sighed before looking at her pet, "Isis, mommy's got to go to work tonight, you'll be a dear and keep out of trouble right?"

Crouching high on top of the building across from the Gotham Museum of Natural History, Batman looked down and studied the building with the intensity of a hawk through his night vision binoculars. Every detail was watched for any small changes to show that something had been moved and any movement on the sidewalk was checked just in case.
"Are you sure Catwoman will try to break in?" Batgirl asked through the small radio in their cowls, "I mean it seems a little far off."
She was on another rooftop looking down to see anything that he couldn't. Mainly the small alleyway around back but it was far too small and he really didn't expect the thief to go that way. But then again, Catwoman had surprised him before.
"They have the Cats-Eye Diamond on display, she won't be able to resist." He intoned while looking down to see the guards changing shifts through one of the large windows.
Scanning the building again, he saw something that wasn't right, one of the lower windows were open, a small hole cut into the glass just big enough to fit a arm through and turn the handle.
"Batgirl, she's already inside, let's go." he said before placing his scope away and shooting his grappling hook to swing over.
"Ahh... Batman we have a problem," Batgirl suddenly told him.
"What is it?"
Looking down to the side street, one of the only roads that they could both see, Batman saw a hooded man walking towards the front door. He didn't recognize him at first but when he thrust his arm out, causing the door to explode inward, he knew that it was the same person as before that robbed the bank.

Catwoman smiled as she smoothly dodged the museum security, nimbly getting through the laser beam alarms, and finally reaching the glass case holding the diamond she wanted.
"Come to momma," she whispered while cutting a hole in the glass with her diamond tipped claws.
Halfway through the glass, she heard a loud crashing sound moments before the alarms went off. Deciding to forget stealth, she bashed the case and grabbed the large blue diamond and turned to escape, only for her exit to be blocked by a hooded man.
"Stealing diamonds huh?" Naruto intoned while cocking his head to the side.
"What... Gonna stop me?" she questioned.
Naruto chuckled, "Why would I? I'm here for the same reason." he told her before holding out his arms.
All around them, glass after glass shattered as multiple diamonds flew out of them and into a duffle bag that the hooded blonde carried. In moments millions of dollars worth of rare gems filled his bag, leaving Catwoman blinking as he turned and went to leave.
Only, when he turned, all he saw was a black boot just before it impacted with his face.
The sudden strike stunned him for a moment as he was knocked off his feet and thrown back a bit. While this happened, Catwoman was also attacked by Batgirl but managed to dodge with her catlike reflexes.
"Well if it isn't Batman and Batgirl," Catwoman mused while pocketing her prize, "Should've expected you to try and stop me."
Naruto held his nose and got to his feet, "Fuck that hurt." he winced while popping the cartilage back into place and wiping the blood off.
"It's over you two, your both going to jail," the Bat told them.
Catwoman grabbed her whip and smirked, "Sorry Batman but I'm no jailbird,"
They stopped at the sound a loud cracking sound and looked to the hooded blond, only to see him grasping at the large crystal chandelier that was shaking.
"Move!" Batman yelled, causing the Batgirl to leap away with him just before the light fixture fell and nearly crushed them.
Tucking her body into a roll, Batgirl jumped up and readied herself only to gulp when she found herself facing the hooded villain. She had to be honest with herself, she was a bit scared of him. Batman had told her about this guy in case she found him one day out on a solo patrol, warning her not to look into his eyes if they were red and to tread carefully.
Glancing quickly over to where Batman was, she saw him dodging Catwoman's whip as hard as he could and knew that she would get no help for now.
"Batgirl, so we meet again," Naruto mused while adjusting his duffle bag, "Strange that with all the crime in his city, you happen to show up where I am. Are you stalking me, you some freaky psycho stalker?"
"As if," she snipped, "I wouldn't date someone like you,"
"Good, your not my type anyway,"
"Oh really?" Batgirl shot back, "Am I too much for you to handle? A strong woman not your type?"
"Not in the least," he fired back blankly, "Your mealy too human for my liking."
That threw Batgirl for a loop, "Too human?" she questioned before noticing him make a small motion with his hand. Moving quickly, she managed to jump over a table that had once been holding the diamonds.
"Humanity is a cancer," Naruto told her darkly, "A vile cancer that eats away at the world and will do anything to continue it's existence no matter the cost. I've learned from my past that humans are not to be trusted, they see my kind as freaks and monsters that should be destroyed or studied like some animal in a cage."
"Not everyone is bad," Batgirl defended before rushing forward to attack the blond, jumping and dodging what he sent flying at her before trying to roundhouse kick him in the chest.
Naruto stepped to the side as fast as he could and s end out a palm thrust to the girl.
To his surprise, instead of striking her chest and probably being called a pervert, the girl flew back before his hand even got half a foot from her, almost as if he had used his TK (Telekinesis).
"Hmm," he exclaimed while looking at his hand for a moment, "That'll do,"
Glancing over to where he had thrown the girl, he found that she had knocked into Batman who had been fighting Catwoman, knocking him over and giving the female the chance to escape.
Following her example, he made himself scarce before the two got a hold of themselves enough to give chase.

Escaping from the Museum with her loot, the Cats-Eye Diamond worth nearly a million dollars on the black-market, Catwoman quickly got away from the crime scene by scaling buildings with the grace of a cat and running along the rooftops.
Figuring that she had run far enough, she slowed down to think about what had happened just a few minutes ago.
Things had been going so smoothly, she broke in without a problem, reached the diamond and had it safely in her hands when someone else had broken in, setting off the alarms and wrecking the place. Normally she'd see that as the act of an amateur but when she saw that he wasn't a normal thief she got curious.
But before she could knew it, Batman and his sidekick dropped in. Batman had kicked the hooded blonde in the face without warning and she had nearly been hit by Batgirl just moments later.
This new player was a mystery, and like a curious cat she became intrigued with the man. But as the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.

A couple days passed since the collection of gems and jewels, worth an astonishing 72.6 million dollars were stolen while the damages done to the building were in the hundreds of thousands, nearly reaching a million. Apparently, the large crystal light fixture that was destroyed had been a one of a kind masterpiece.
The news reported that a few of the jewels had been recovered, probably dropped by accident when the thief was escaping. Some were saying that there might be more just laying in the streets, sparking a citywide treasure hunt in hopes of finding a rare gem just laying on the ground.
But so far, only a few smaller ones had been found and those were only worth a few grand each.
Batman and Batgirl were trying to track down the stolen gems, using informants in the cities underground fencing rings and so far all they had found was that Catwoman had offloaded her loot to a buyer in Egypt just a day after she stole it. The few good informants they had couldn't find anything about the rocks, nothing on the 'North Star' diamond, 'Soul of the Ocean' sapphire, 'Heart of Ireland' emerald, or the 'Eye of Anubis' Onyx, four of the main rocks stolen.
Batgirl reached the Gotham bridge and stood on one of the maintenance balconies that the small tower directly in the middle had. Batman had left to go check on more leads and left her to do a patrol and look around.
She didn't mind doing a patrol on her own, sure it got a bit lonely at times when she took a break on top of the buildings but considering how much Bruce talked while in 'Bat-mode', it was almost the same. Sometimes she would look to her side and expect to see the man looking down at the city next to her, only to catch herself.
"Ow!" She exclaimed as something fell right on top of her head, it didn't really hurt but it had shocked her. But whatever had hit her fell, making a small clicking noise as it hit the stone flooring before bouncing down into the water below.
Looking up, she saw something falling down towards her again and caught it in her hand, "What the-" she exclaimed in shock.
In the palm of her hand was a tear shaped ruby just a bit bigger than an inch in length.
Another object fell, this time too far for her to catch and dropped into the deep water below.
Using her grappling hook gun, she fired the hook into a ledge above her and retracted the line, pulling her up quickly where she was able to climb up and onto the top of the bridge.
There she saw a shocking sight, the hooded man from before was sitting on the far edge, lazily looking through his bag and studying the gemstones inside one at a time then tossing them over his shoulder.
"What are you doing!" she exclaimed in shock, not staying silent like she should've to capture the man. But he had the audacity to steal such valuable stones and just threw them away like they were a broken children's toy.
Naruto looked up from his bag and turned, his face shadowed by the hood once more. Not to hide his face or to look cool... he wore it because it was fucking cold up there.
"Oh... it's you... ah... Rat-girl? No... Sap-girl... Fat-girl..." He glanced at her figure, ignoring the look of feminine anger at being called fat, "Definitely not that... not with that figure... oh now I remember, Batgirl."
She didn't know if she should be mad or feel good at that, he had just insulted her yet complimented her looks at the same time.
He stood up and stepped off the ledge, "And to answer your question, I'm throwing these rocks into the river,"
"Wh... why?" she asked dumbly, only for him to shrug.
"Because I can?" he replied, "Do I really need a reason to do what I do? These so-called precious rocks are worthless to me, I have no need for them and I certainly don't care about trying to sell them."
"Then why steal them in the first place?"
Naruto reached into the bag and pulled out a larger than normal Sapphire, the 'Soul of the Ocean' to be exact. "This thing is priceless to others, it took nature over billions of years to form and shape..." he told her before smirking and casually tossing it into the dark waters below, "All meaningless to me."
"You still haven't answered my question," she shot back.
"I stole them because I felt like it, not more... no less. I felt like stealing something valuable and throwing it away, only because I wanted to. What do I care if someone is out millions and millions of dollars? It's only cash."
"Then why rob the bank if you don't care about money... in fact who are you,"
He deadpanned, "I wouldn't be wearing a hood if I wanted you to know who I was... but I guess you can call me, Psycho Fox. And while I'm not motivated by money I still need it every once in a while."
She got into a stance, "Well then Fox, I'm still bringing you in, do you want to give up and hand over the gems or do you want to fight and I take them?" the girl questioned with a small smirk.
Naruto held no delusions that he could win in a fist fight with the girl, she was trained in it while he had been hindered for years until the point where he was relying on jutsu and chakra, spamming shadow clones and mobbing his target being the extent of his taijutsu.
Glancing behind him, he saw that he was back against the guardrail and turned to her while zipping the bag shut, "How about this," He started while hopping up on the railing, "It's time to make a human decision, the rocks... or me."
To her surprise, he slung the bag and sent it flying over her head before jumping off the other end. Not wasting a second, she ran and jumped over the railing and chased the blond, only for him to throw her back with his TK power with a smirk.
As she flew, sailing in the direction of oncoming traffic, she barely managed to fire her grappling gun just in time to pull her out of harms way. The hooded man was gone when she looked back, but when she got back up to more solid ground, she looked on the other side and saw the bag of gems halfway floating in the water below.
'At least it's not a total failure.' she thought to herself as she went to retreve the bag before it finally sunk. 'Psycho Fox huh... I'll remember that.'
