Naruto drove his Mazda into the area of town commonly known as Burnout Ridge. It was one of the best street racing tracks in the city, and one of the few places where the police never came. Saturday night was usually reserved for Rookies that wanted to get some experience driving, and everyone respected that.

"Ha, you lost, loser! Pay up." Or, almost everyone. Naruto sat on his hood and watched as a twenty-something year old man with silver hair berated a seventeen year old kid while counting money. "Go back to your momma, brat. You'll never be anything worth mentioning. Alright, which one of you loser's next. One hundred dollars says I can beat any one of you." (I'm using American dollars)

"Make it one fifty and you're on." Naruto said, narrowing his eyes at the man.

"150$? You're on." The man got into his sky-blue Mitsubishi. Naruto smirked and got into his car. He glanced to the side and saw Tenten in the crowd.

"What's the track?"

"Sprint, up to the old tunnel." The man smirked. "You're out of your league, brat. Just surrender now and I'll spare you the embarrassment." Red light.

Naruto smirked. "I could say the same to you. I'm gonna show you arrogant asshole just what this baby can do." Yellow light.

The man snarled. "You're gonna regret your words, brat." Green light. Go! (I found that the song 'Ignition' by TobyMac works nicely with racing. At least for me)

The engines roared and both cars sped off. Naruto glanced at his speedometer and then at Mizuki, the silver-haired man.

"Not bad, let's shift into fourth." He grinned and his car jumped from 40 to 60 in a second, making Mizuki fall back. The man snarled at the blond and shifted into fifth gear.

Naruto smiled as he felt the powerful machine roared. He turned his steering wheel at the curve and saw Mizuki gained some speed, now right next to him. The older man sneered at him and hit him with his car, messing up his control and sending him to the side of the track, knocking off his left mirror. As he regained control of his Mazda Naruto growled at the car that had gotten in front of him and hit it in the back, making it skid out of control and end up in reverse. Before Mizuki even noticed the new adjustment, Naruto already sailed past him and through the finish line.

"What the fuck did you think you were doing back there!" He yelled at the silver haired driver when he stopped the car. "I could've crashed!"

"Serves you right brat. To think you have the gall to be better than me. I should-" He was cut off mid-rant when Naruto decked him in the nose, breaking it. He then bent down and took 150$ from the silver-haired man's front pocked.

"Be grateful I didn't take more." He got in the car, picked up Tenten and got back to the Shop.

"Looks like I have my work cut out for me." She commented when she looked the car over.

"Yeah, sorry, this asshole…"

"I know, I saw the race. I'll start on it tomorrow. Goodnight, Naruto." He smiled and shook his head watching her leave. He pocketed the car keys and went home, sneaking into his room.

Meanwhile, at a nearby café, two men were drinking coffee and discussing current events.

"So, they did take after us?" One of the man asked the other.

"Yeah. Kid's got my style. And they're even using out old shop."

"Really? I was sure the city had the thing condemned."

"Not quite. I think they could use a little present from us, old friend."

"You're thinking…."

"Yeah. Tonight."

Deciding to take Sunday off, Naruto and Tenten met up at the Shop Monday afternoon.

"Tenten."

"Yes?"

"Someone was here." Naruto pointed to a few boxes with a label that said 'SRS' on them. Tenten opened them up.

"Tools."

"What?"

"They're full of tools. Ratchets, hammers, screwdrivers, blow torches, even those big trolleys with drawers. It's all here. And they all have the same three letters engraved on them."

"Let me guess: SRS?" Naruto said looking at the labels on the boxes. "Looks like we have a few unknown benefactors.

"What do we do with them?"

"We got a gift, so let's use it. Come on, time to fix my car."

I will make a poll with the same contents on my profile, and the result will be a combination of the two, so you can vote on either, or both. The poll will end when I post a new story, so I gather you'll know.
