Naruto, King of the Streets
Chapter 4
-----X-x-X-----
Disclaimer:
I do not own Naruto or any songs that may appear in this story.
I would like to remind all of you that this is a DARK and Evil Naruto story… think about it before you go off on me about something when you don't even know what will happen next.
I don't know if I mentioned this in the last chapters, mostly because I'm too lazy to look, but Naruto is a Yakuza boss, this is important.
One last thing, I want to say thanks Jin, you know who you are.
----------X----------
Last time on King of the streets…
I used to catch myself thinking 'Is it all worth it?' or 'Am I doing the right thing?'
Naruto stood in front of a mirror and studied himself, looking at the faint scars and tattoos along with the broken remnants of the seal. Dressed in only his jeans he sighed softly and leaned forward, letting his head touch the cool surface.
"Mmm… Naruto-kun,"
Naruto turned and looked at the sleeping form in his bed with a small smile.
I used to question that day in and day out after I was banished.
Hinata snuggled up in his bed, holding a pillow with a content smile, whispering his name every once in a while in her sleep. The clean white bed sheet was pooled around her, only covering her panties while showing off her beautiful pale back while the pillow kept her amazing bare breasts from view.
Walking to the bed, Naruto bent down and kissed her right next to the hickey he gave her hours before, but softly as not to wake her up.
I still catch myself wondering that every now and then
"…I love you… Naruto-kun" she sighed, holding the pillow closer.
Now I know the answer
"I love you too, Hina-chan"
----------X----------
Now on with the show… story…
"I love you too, Hina-chan" he muttered softly in her ear before standing up and turning away to hide the dark and sinister smirk that replaced his kind and gentle smile, '…For now'
Getting dressed in his day clothes; a pair of jeans, a white T-shirt and some white running shows, Naruto left Hinata in his room to rest peacefully after the night that they had together. He doubted that she would be getting up for awhile, much less walking straight after all the sake they drunk and made a mental note to have one of his employees send up a few aspirin… no, scratch that, a few bottles of aspirin.
Walking downstairs, the workers stopped what they were doing and bowed to him as he passed by. They were all dressed in matching uniforms; black slacks, a white long sleeve shirt with a black tie, a red vest with three buttons, and shiny black dress shoes for the men or matching heels for the women. (Not high heels) They worked at the Miyazu inn, a five-story building that basically put the already blooming border town on the map. Many important figures had come by and stayed a night or two while traveling; even the Fire lord had stayed at one time.
Reaching the lobby, Naruto stretched and yawned, "Good morning sir, is there anything I can do for you," asked a young man who looked just a few years younger than him from behind the front desk, while he bowed to his boss.
"Have the usual stuff sent up to my room, thanks" he replied, watching as the boy bowed again, nearly yelling 'Hai' at him and sprinting off.
Shaking his head, Naruto sat down on one of the couches that lined the wall, just as a masked man wearing a dark cloak seemed to faze out of the wall. Turning his head towards him, the man quickly averted his gaze and turned it to the floor, a show of respect that everyone in his crew showed him, no matter what their rank.
As the seconds ticked by, both were silent, Naruto wanted to see how tense the man could get and the man knew better than to break the unspoken rule of not speaking unless you have been spoken to or have been acknowledged by the leader when in his presence.
"Jiro…" Naruto spoke in a low voice, allowing the man to speak.
"Sir, I've received word that Goro has been arrested," the masked man, Jiro reported in a smooth yet tense voice.
Narutos muscles visibly tensed in anger while his face barley showed it, something that made Jiro nervous and tense as well but instead of anger it was fear.
"What happened Jiro?" Naruto asked coldly while closing his eyes.
Jiro gulped and took a deep breath, "I don't know exactly what happened but it happened in Konoha. From what I could find out, it was a new organized crime division."
"How long ago was he captured," Naruto questioned the man, leaning back and crossing his arms.
"Two days, I just found out a day ago and came here as quickly as possible" Jiro answered.
"So they've been questioning him for two days…" Naruto said to himself. "It doesn't matter, he was foolish and doesn't know a lot of valuable information besides our code names, my old alias of Shadow, our ranking system, and the locations of a few unimportant bases. You know that if we can't bust him out, we may have to drop him, and you may have to do it,"
"If I have to sir, it will be done." He replied slowly while bowing again to take his leave.
Catching the man before he left, Naruto had one last order, "Find out if or what he told them and if he betrayed us by giving up even the slightest amount of information and endangering our operation, kill him."
Jiro stopped and seemed to debate it before dropping his head in defeat, "Yes sir, it will be done"
Sensing the sadness in his voice Naruto looked away, "I know it is hard for you to think about killing him Jiro but Goro may have betrayed us. Normally I would send Shiro or Taro, but knowing them, they would torture and kill him anyway. So I'm going to send you instead so that you can make your peace with him if it comes to it… and remember, bring his ring back… I'm sorry but your little brother or not; he may be endangering us all and I won't allow anything to endanger the Kingdom." Naruto told him, never changing his tone or looking at him.
"I understand sir,"
"Good. Now get to the base and replace your gear before you go, it looks like shit."
----------X----------
Naruto's good mood had instantly vanished with the news of Goro's capture. Goro was the fifth and lowest Ouja-jin (Kings men), and truth be told the only reason he chose him was because of his older brother. The Ouja-jin was his five most trustworthy soldiers, the ones he puts in charge while he goes somewhere and if you looked at their code names it basically told you their ranks.
Taro was the first, followed by Jiro, Saburo, Shiro, and finally Goro, with Taro and Jiro being his right and left hands, the ones that makes sure things get done. But if things do get to the point where not even Taro or Jiro can get things done, Naruto, the king himself, takes over.
Shaking his head, Naruto cleared his mind, trying to rid himself of his foul mood.
He wasn't always a Yakuza leader living a complicated life of crime, before he was an illegal arms dealer, living an equally complicated but exciting life of crime. It wasn't until he was about 17 when he started gaining extremely loyal followers who would've died for him, and now that he thought about it, this place was one of the many roots that started it all.
Looking around, he couldn't help but think of how much the place had changed, at first it had been a nearly bankrupt inn that was owned by an elderly woman and her granddaughter. Being too weak to resist, Yakuza easily took over the place, using the rooms for pimping and drug deals.
At the age of 16 Naruto had already witnessed the horrors of the warring underworld, from civil wars in Mist to Yakuza wars in Demon country. He had seen the men who were still loyal to the old Mizukage of Mist get lined up against the wall before the rebels killed them one by one while their wives and children watched. To tell the truth, he was surprised that the rebels didn't set their sights on the families of the men still loyal to the Mizukage. Especially since many of the rebels had lost loved ones when they were identified as one of the rebels. Some had even lost their whole family to them, children were dismembered and killed while their wives were raped and murdered.
Naruto didn't particularly care about what happened to the hidden mist village or the people that lived there, because no matter which side did win the war, he made a huge profit. Why? You ask, he had been playing on both sides, selling each faction illegal poisons, weapons and supplies while the other countries refused to, hoping to keep the mist village weak so they could keep getting the missions that would normally go to them.
It seemed that he had become an instant star around the other countries near the end of the war and since no one knew his true name or what he looked like, he had turned into a near mythical crime figure known to all as 'The Shadow'. And the few interviews he did with an upstart reporter only solidified his reputation, too bad some of the tapes were stolen by spies from some ninja village before they could be used.
A few months after the civil war ended, he was back to his normal business, selling all types of weapons to yakuza, bandits, and militia groups even a few rouge ninjas. Then a young hunter ninja attacked him, hoping to gain fame and fortune for killing the mythical crime figure. Naruto easily killed the boy but had gotten careless and been poisoned.
He just happened to literally stumble in through the front door, half-dead from the poison that was supposed to cause instant death in humans, but had failed due to the fact that he was only half human. Upon seeing the young man, the old woman, who he come to know as Nanako or Nana, and her granddaughter Momoko or Momo, came rushing to his side and tried to nurse him back to health. Even though there was nothing that they could do since they had no money to call for a doctor and the Yakuza would have more than likely tried to kill the boy just for fun if they had seen him.
After two days of rest, Naruto was back up, much to the surprise of the two women and stayed there for a week, ignoring the yakuza and whores that he passed daily, seeing as they didn't really bother him, he didn't have a problem with them… at the time.
Near the end of he week, Naruto and Momo had become bedmates and after an X-rated night he was walking downstairs when one of the thugs ran into him and tripped, falling to the ground. Embarrassed that he fell in front of his fellow yakuza in the front lobby, the man made some excuse saying that the blonde tripped him and caused him to hurt his arm, trying to make him pay some large amount of money in compensation.
Naruto just laughed and told him to piss off before he really gave him something to cry about, but when the thug tried to punch him, Naruto broke his arm in four places and proceeded to beat the others until they screamed for mercy like little bitches.
Naruto grinned: reminiscing about the pain of others always put him in a better mood. But now he had to find a replacement to take on the title of Goro, even if he didn't betray them, he couldn't have a weak lieutenant.
Looking up at the rafters, Naruto stared at one spot, "Taro I know you're up there now get your tight ass down here, you have a new assignment" he spoke, watching as a similar cloaked and masked figure fell to the floor and landed in a crouch beside him.
"Yes master" came her seductive purr.
Naruto grinned; even with her mask on he could see the devotion in her eyes through the small slits. The thought of how he gained such devotion almost made him feel slightly guilty, but strangely aroused him.
She used to be a young Jounin who was madly in love with some single nobleman and after almost a year of dating, was finally asked to marry him. Months passed and their wedding date was only days away, then Naruto came into the picture.
Her and four of her friends were celebrating by drinking at some club and Naruto had passed by. One of her friends had noticed him and wanted the hot blonde to join them, being intoxicated all of the group thought it was a great idea. Unable to resist the will of the five girls, he gave in and joined them. After hours of drinking and partying, the group parted ways and the slightly drunken Naruto set his sights on the girl.
It wasn't hard for him to smooth talk her into going to his motel room where, ten minutes later, he had her on her hands and knees begging, almost crying for him to fuck her as hard as he could. Later that night, she was lying limply on top of him, eyes glazed over, drooling on his chest, and calling him Master. He had broken her body from ever enjoying sex with another man and maybe even her mind.
Two days later, during her wedding, she broke it off and declared herself a missing ninja before running away from the shocked crowed, hoping to find her blonde master, Naruto.
----------X----------
Kakashi slowly made his way down the bleak hallways of the Interrogation department, trying to keep from moving his head around too much.
"Damn Kakashi, you look like shit"
Kakashi turned and looked at the smirking scar covered face of Morino Ibiki, "I feel like it to," he mumbled, leaning against the wall and nursing his sore head.
"I heard about what happened, tough break. How did Kushina-sama take it?" the man asked
Kakashi sighed, "The same way she did when she returned, she started crying, blaming herself and then took her anger out on Jiraiya-sama who was surprisingly not doing anything perverted for once" he replied, wincing along with the head interrogator. Many men were mentally scarred thanks to the memory of Kushina literally stomping the pervert five-foot into the ground.
Pushing off the wall, Kakashi was escorted deeper into the building where the sounds of a person grunting in pain reached their ears followed by hissing and irritated growling.
Stopping at a window made of one way glass the two peered in to see a guy with tan skin and white hair that fell over his eyes, hanging against the wall by a pair of chairs. His shirt was torn and bloody, showing multiple punctures, slash, and bite wounds.
Across from him, Anko stood with both an annoyed and pissed off expression on her face, sporting a busted lip.
"We finally got some information out of him, but it took both me and Anko interrogating him at the same time for hours before he broke, even then it wasn't much. I sent the tapes and reports back to Tsunade-sama already." Ibiki said crossing his arms and watching as Anko tried to threaten the man in vain.
"Ah… what up with her, she looks like Orochimaru returned with a full pardon," Kakashi asked in fear, never before had he seen her like this.
Ibiki snorted, "More like he returned and asked her to merry him and have his child, but the reason why she's so pissed is because he head butted her and busted her lip just a few hours ago."
"Wow… that's a first"
"Yea, any way since you were… busy, I'll fill you in one what's been going on while you were out on your mission. This man was caught during a major drug deal, during our interrogation we learned that his title is Goro, the fifth in command of some organization called 'the Kingdom'. You know anything about that?" Ibiki questioned, watching as Anko unleashed a brutal combo of punches to the man, who returned the favor by laughing and spiting blood in her face.
Kakashi grimaced as Anko broke the mans jaw, "Only rumors, speaking of some mythic shadow government that has the power to control almost all the organized crime."
"Well apparently it's not a rumor, when he finally stopped fighting and broke, he confessed to being ordered to scope out Konoha by order of the 'King' himself. It seems that he would have succeeded too, if he hadn't tried to make some cash on the side by selling all those drugs"
Kakashi nodded slowly. "I hate to say it but, if he was able to get in the village with all those drugs and not get caught until he was ready to sell it all. What will happen if word gets out that he was caught and this 'King' person sends more people," he asked in an almost horrified voice.
"Yea… but that's not all, he confessed to working with the Shadow,"
Kakashi looked at the man with a wide eye, "You mean, 'The' Shadow, as in the legendary arms dealer, shadow. The man who single handedly armed all of Mist during the civil wars while other countries refused to trade with them."
Ibiki nodded, "Yea,"
"But I thought he worked alone" Kakashi mussed, having been sent on a mission to find the guy before.
"I was just as shocked but if he knows anything else, he ain't speaking. That was one of the last things he said before closing himself off, I think he's too afraid of the Shadow to say anything else. All he's been doing now is glaring or spitting blood at us."
"Then why is Anko still in there" Kakashi questioned.
Ibiki shrugged, "I don't know, but I think she's fallen for the guy. He's the only one to ever resist breaking from both of us for more than a day. Hell, he's the only prisoner to strike back at us without fear of dying a painful death"
"So basically, she's more of a sadist than Jiraiya is a pervert and if things were different, she would more than likely try to forcibly merry him… or rape him on a daily basis" Kakashi summed up with a sweatdrop.
Ibiki joined him in sweatdropping and nodded, "Pretty much, yea"

"Jiraiya, what do you know about this 'Kingdom' that these reports mentioned" Tsunade asked before taking a sip of her sake, ignoring the pile of paperwork she had stacked beside her desk.
Jiraiya frowned and gave a thoughtful hum, "That it is a criminal organization that makes other crime families look like childish schoolyard gangs and that they are into just about every kind of crime you can think of… that's about it." He answered making her look at him with wide eyes.
"You're joking," she asked looking at the bandage-covered man, who was still recovering from the beating that was giving to him by Kushina.
Jiraiya looked at her blankly and crossed his arms; "I wouldn't joke about something like this. Not one of my spies have been able to infiltrate them or find anyone that would be willing to sell information" he told her.
"Even if you threaten them?" she asked, knowing how most would buckle in fear at a threat from him.
Jiraiya sighed and took a sip from his own bottle, "I tried before… ended up fighting a small army. Turns out that there was a meeting between the higher ups AKA the Ouja-jin at the time. I was lucky to escape; there were many missing ninjas there."
Tsunade nodded and flipped through the papers before coming to the sheet that mentioned the shadow. "What does your spies know about the Shadow," she questioned, handing the sheet to him.
Jiraiya skimmed over the paper, "That he became notorious for arming both armies during the Mist civil wars as well as both the Snake Flower triad and the Toyatome crime family near the end of their war." He told her looking at both sides of the paper before sitting it down.
"Why both sides, wouldn't it be quicker if he were to just support one"
Jiraiya snorted, "It would be quicker, but if he were to keep the wars going, they would need more and more weapons. What makes him better than other arms dealers is the fact that he is able to get massive amounts of weapons, no matter what kind, and sells them for a low price. With every small bit of information and rumors I could get, I've been able to put together a small profile of the guy." He said unsealing a scroll and opening it,
"And you planned on giving this to me when?" Asked Tsunade, glaring at the pervert.
Jiraiya laughed nervously, "When the brain damage, Kushina gave me was fixed."
Seeing her glare, he started reading the paper, "During the end of the Civil war, a young reporter somehow got to interview the man, most of the tapes were stolen but I received a few from my spies. It turns out that he's vary clever, loves other peoples pain and is basically a true monster-"
Tsunade cut him off, "Stop, you said something about tapes, what tapes?" she demanded, looking at him with the aura of death.
"These," he whimpered allowing her to swipe them from his hand.
Placing the first on in a tape player, she pressed the play button.
You can't break a man like you break a dog or a horse, the harder you beat a man the taller he stands. To break a man's will, to break his spirit, you have to break his mind. Men have this idea that we can fight with dignity, that theirs a proper way to kill a man, it's absurd. We need it to endure the bloody horror of murder. You must destroy that idea, show 'em what a messy terrible thing it is to kill a man and then show 'em that you relish in it. Aim to wound then execute the wounded, burn them, take them in close combat. Destroy their preconceptions of what a man is and you become their personal monster, when they fear you, you become stronger, you become better. But let's never forget it's a display, a posture, like a lion's roar or a gorilla thumping at its chest. If you lose yourself to the display, succumb to the horror, then you become the monster, you become reduced, not more than a man but less and it could be fatal…-Click.
Tsunade stopped the tape player and stared at it in horror, "Jiraiya… what kind of man thinks like that"

This chapter is special, want to know why? It's because I have deleted scenes that I just couldn't find a place for.

Deleted scene #1
-It was better than my last job-
Hinata stared at Naruto with a horrified expression, she had always thought that he was a saint, that he could do no evil, but from what he just told her…
"Why would you be a drug dealer?" she asked with tears in her eyes,
Naruto looked at her with a raised eyebrow and shrugged before going back to counting his large stack of money, "It was better than my last job," he muttered. Wearing a green accountants visor (Cocked to the side) on his head, and a large cigar bobbing up and down from his mouth.
FLASHBACK
Naruto sat on a small wooden stool watching as people walked by. In front of him was a wooden stand with a large wooden sigh at the top reading 'Lemonade' in messy white painted letters?
"Hey you, buy this yellow drink" He demanded as an old man passed by, not even glancing at him.
Glaring at the man's back he decided to switch tactics as the next person walked by. "Excuse me sir would you like a glass of lemonade" he called out. Twitching at the guy ignored him, Naruto growled, "Well fuck you then"
Next was a younger woman carrying a baby, "Hey you, tubby" he yelled, pissed off that no one would even look at him, "Hey you dumb bitch, don't ignore me!" He yelled as the woman turned the corner.
Sitting down, he tried to calm himself but twitched as a larger man passed by, "Excuse me sir. Sir…oh to hell with this" he muttered, reaching behind his stand and pulling out a baseball bat.
Running up to the man, Naruto swung the bat and hit him hard in the back of the legs, sending him face down on the dirt road, screaming. Bringing the bat down again on the man's face to stop his screaming, Naruto bent down and took his wallet. "So we had to do it the hard way, hmm?
"10 bucks, that all?" he asked flipping through his wallet and stopping at a picture of what he suspected to be his wife, "Nice looking wife, maybe I'll look her up while you in the hospital" he said walking away, tossing the wallet over his shoulder.
Picking up a glass of lemonade, Naruto walked back and dumped it on the man's head, "Don't forget your lemonade"
FLASHBACK END
Naruto grinned before knocking the ashes off his cigar, "And I learned the hard way that being a crack dealer is worse than a normal dealer… even though you make more money"
"Why is that" Hinata asked.
"Because you can always wash your crack and sell it again" he told her with a straight face.
As Hinata's face went red in embarrassment, Naruto busted out laughing, only to laugh even harder as she pasted out on the floor.
