As Naruto drove up to the starting line, he felt his stomach twist and turn. He groan quietly. Something's not right. He thought, as a lady in a white revealing T-shirt and a short jean skirt came out and did the signals.

Naruto grip his steering wheel, sweat collecting against it.

GO!
The four cars were off, speeds going over 50 mph and so. Naruto was in third place before they had left the area and onto the blacktops, with Sasuke following in front.
"How are you holding up, kid?" Naruto blinked.
"Hinata? That you?"
"Of course it is. Who else, the Easter Bunny? When they bugged your car, they've also added this radio so we can talk. Now, how are you holding up?" Hinata asked. Naruto had speeded his car up a little, bypassing one of the cars, and was now in second place.
"Fine. Just gotta pass Sasuke and I'll be in first." He said, when suddenly, one of the cars, a Toyota Corolla Trueno Sprinter, pulled up beside him and bumped the side of his car, causing Naruto to loose control of his steering wheel, but only for a moment, but in that moment, the Corolla got in second. "Never mind. Back in third."
"I saw. The bastard. Listen, Naruto, I've manage to turbo-charge your engine, but only by a little. If you want more speed in your car, you're gonna have to win some stocks."
"Can't we talk about this later? When I'm NOT trying to win?" He asked, speeding up to 110 mph and passing the Corolla, but again, the Corolla wasn't having that, and speeded up to 130 mph and left Naruto in his dust. Naruto gritted his teeth as he continued to speed a little more, going 121 mph.
"Just thought you'd like to know, especially when you're losing this race. By the way, the cops are after you, that car, and Sasuke in three...two...one-"
And just like that, the sirens were signal, and sure enough, more than four cop cars were following the three cars. Naruto swored.
"Just remember what I've said-"
"Fuck what you said! I'm doing this MY way!" With that, Naruto speeded his car, nearling matching the Corolla's speed. The driver of that car was amazed, but wasn't impressed, but before he could do anything about it, Naruto smashed his car into his, causing it to spin out and in the way of one of the cop cars, while the rest avoided it and followed the two.
"Naruto! What are you doing?"
"You can't get mad at me when you put innocent lives in danger! Don't start telling me how wrong that shit is when you could have killed someone's kid!"
"..."
With nothing more to add, Naruto shoved down his foot on the gas pedal, and his car's engine roared as it manage to go pass 130 and into 140 mph, catching up with the raven haired boy's car. Said boy looked at his rearview mirror and raise an eyebrow.
"Naruto, you idiot, what are you doing?" Sasuke muttered, before speeding up, his car going over 140 mph. The cops, however, were not having this, and manage to hit 135 mph and called out to the two racers.
"Pull the fuck over! Now!" One of the officers yelled out, causing both Naruto and Sasuke to raise an eyebrow.
"Since when do we ever listen to the law?" Sasuke yelled back, smirking. Knowing the officers were getting pissed off, Sasuke drifted around the corner, along with Naruto and the cops. Suddenly, a helicopter was heard and Naruto rolled down his windows to see it was a cop helicopter taping everything they were doing. Shit. He thought before pulling up beside Sasuke. Sasuke raise an eyebrow.
"Now what?" He asked.
"This is were you shine, dude. Later!" Sasuke made a sudden sharp turn as Naruto continued going forward.
"Fuck!" He screamed before turning to the right, followed by three cop cars and the helicopter. Up ahead, Naruto saw another cop car pulling out spike strips, which meant Naruto will have to go the other way to avoid it. Gritting his teeth, Naruto turned again to the right, successfully avoiding the cop and the strips. As the pursuit reached a higher level, Naruto knew he was driving in circles. He needed help and fast.
"Hinata, you still there?"
"Yeah, I'm here. What's wrong?"
"Is there anyway I can loose the cops and win the race?"
"Yeah, hold on..." Silence. As Naruto drove deeper into the city, more and more cops followed the pursuit as Naruto avoided yet another cop that was about to hit him dead on, only to crash into one of theirs.
"Stupid motherfucker! Watch where you're going!" The victim yelled at his comrade. Said comrade shrink at the anger.
"Sorry!"
"You better be! This crash is coming out of your paycheck!" Meanwhile, Naruto was still on the run and he knew he was running out of road.
"Hinata,"
"Okay, the race is at the other side of the Water Valley's Harbor. To get there, you'll have to JUMP across the new bridge the city's putting up. Once there, turn left the moment you hit the ground, there should be an alleyway on the right side, large enough to fit your car. There's a underground tunnel for Underground racers only. It's how us racers gets out of some hairy stituation."
"But, the new bridge isn't done yet!"
"Exactly. Time to show what you got, kid." Naruto groaned before turning his car around, and drive head onto the crowd of cops that were behind him. The cops jumped out of the way as Naruto speeded through, hitting 180 mph while doing so. As Naruto raced across the street, payment practically burning while he did so, he saw the bridge he needed to jump out of his window and continued on his way of getting. The cops followed and as one of them matched his speed, they tried to use PIT on his Honda, but Naruto was smarter. Just like what happened to the guy who'd tried to sideswipe him, he left the cop car in his dust and the said car had spun out, the others avoiding the deadly collision as the officer of that car got out and started to swear at the high heavens.
"Whoa, man. That's the first time I've seen the police THAT pissed about something." At this, Naruto smirked.
"Does that mean I get a gold star on my rep meter?"
"I would say you get a silver star for that, but since there are none, you're still a beginner." Hinata responeded, causing Naruto to chuckle. As the bridge came closer to veiw, Naruto notice a roadblock near it and growled. "What's wrong?" Hinata asked.
"Roadblock near the bridge. Anyway I can finish this race WITHOUT jumping across?"
"Nope, sorry, but you'll have to hit one of the cars in the roadblock." Naruto shook his head, but continued to drive. When the police realize he wasn't stopping, they jumped out of the way and avoided the broken glass of the cars when Naruto crashed into them. Coming up to the bridge, Naruto used the turbo-charged engine Hinata had talked about earlier and found himself blasted off and across the ocean. Naruto knew, racing or not, that trying to change the car's position while in the air was not a good idea. There was no way of knowing how the car will land, and if it did, he wouldn't know if the impact would have enough force to flip his car over. Iruka will definitely kill him for that.
The cops watched in both amazement and anger as the car they had been pursuring go across the unfinished bridge, knowing they couldn't do anything about it now.
Back with Naruto, his car landed with a harsh thud, nearly tumbling his car to left side, but manage to keep it in once piece. He mentally cheered as he turned left just as Hinata had said, and went through the tunnels to the Underground. Everyone who had been watching the race cheered as well. Cops, well, were not so cheerful. Hinata smiled. You did good kid, She thought. You did good.
Naruto sighed as he found himself in the sewuage lines. Getting out of his car, he was surprise to find himself surrounded by people who were cheering, clapping, and baiscally were happy for him. This made Naruto smile for a bit. He can do it, he CAN do it!
Hinata, Sakura, Kakashi, and Sasuke watched the scene from behind.
"You're teaching him well, Hinata. Nobody's ever jumped across that bridge and made it besides us." Kakashi said. Hinata shrugged.
"He may be good, now, but he'll be better once he knows how to stock his car with Nitros and shit." She said, looking over at Sakura. "Hey, Sakura, gotta smoke on you?" Sakura looked surprise, but handed her a pack of cigarettes. Taking one out, Hinata lit it up and inhaled it before exhaling, sighing as well.
"Never knew you'd smoke again, Hinata." Sakura said.
"Not til I started teaching the blond, I didn't." She replied, repeating the same motion. Suddenly, the said blond came over to them.
"Hey guys, how did I do?" He asked.
"You did great, kid. You'd really left the crowd reeling for more." Hinata said, smiling. Naruto blushed and smiled as well.
"Not to mention pissing off the cops. That was a big 'Fuck You' sign when you left that cop in your dust." Sakura said, giggling. Hinata chuckled.
"Remember when I did that?" She said, looking at the pink haired female.
"Yep, I'm pretty sure they're still pissed about the bird as you did doughnuts in the middle of their parking lot." Naruto raise an eyebrow at that.
"Why?" Hinata smirked.
"Because I felt like it. I was fucking high as hell, so I didn't know better. It didn't matter, though, I still left them in the red." She said, giggling. Naruto shook his head at them.
"You guys are fucking weird." The group smirked.
"We're a bunch of misfits that became wannabe street racers; we're always fucking weird."
Naruto really couldn't deny the truth.
