(Here you go guys.)
One day at Bev High, Naruto was in a room where the newspaper club was assigned and the blonde ninja/spy was working at a computer, 'Wow I'm using techniques and skills I never even knew I had.'
"WHAAAAATTTT!" An ear splitting voice cried.
Naruto looked over seeing it was from Mandy. The one thing he didn't enjoy about this club was that she was in it, but he didn't let her presence ruin his fun, because he could always get back at her with a prank later, "But Joey, why're you assigning the newbie to the 'What's hot' column, that's my territory!" Mandy lashed out while pointing to Naruto whom she dubbed as newbie in the Newspaper club.
Joey who was the chief stood up, "Listen Mandy, this guy is gifted. Not only is he great at paying attention to details, not only does he treats the editor with the respect he deserves unlike 'some' people, but he is after all my years in the business the fastest darn typist I've ever seen!"
"You do realize you're a freshman, Joey." Mandy said dryly while frowning.
Joey scowled at her, "Nevertheless, I've reached my decision."
"And just what am I supposed to cover now?" Mandy asked.
"You may have the honor of being my secretary, and the first thing you can do is get me a mocha latte." Joey replied.
Mandy hissed and stormed off, while Naruto held in a chuckle, "Karma is a dangerous thing."
Suddenly the door opened and Sakura and Ino entered while carrying some papers, "Here Joey we got the latest of scoops." Sakura began.
"Fresh with juicy gossip." Ino added.
"Good work girls," The chief started, "I knew assigning you two on the gossip column was a smart thing."
Sakura handed some to Naruto who looked through them all, "Yes, good, ooh nice. Well Sakura, you and Ino sure know how to find good gossip."
"Naturally," Sakura replied. She then recalled about how not only Sam, Clover, and Alex got Hinata to talk and confess to Naruto, but they also drilled into her and Ino about being nicer to Naruto because they've never had a real reason to be so mean to him besides situations when it involves Sasuke, "Hey Naruto?"
"Yeah?" Naruto asked.
"I was thinking, since we haven't really spent any time with each other since we came to Beverly Hills, or in fact before then," Sakura started, "I was wondering if you'd like to I don't know catch a movie on Saturday?"
Naruto almost choked, "You-You mean like a date, Sakura?"
"Yes Naruto, a date." Sakura said wondering to herself if she actually said that to him of all people.
"Yes!" Naruto cheered, but calmed down, "I mean sure Sakura. It's a date." Naruto said as he turned to walk away but bumped into a pile of papers that came crashing down on him which got the attention of the whole club.
"Naruto you ok?" Sakura asked.
Naruto's head poked up from under the huge pile of papers, "It's all part of the plan… more or less." Sakura couldn't help but giggle at his misfortune.
Soon after the day was done, Naruto and Sakura met up with the spies, Hinata, and Ino in the cafe lounge, "So how was work today, Naruto?" Alex asked.
"My hands feel like they've been pounded with hammers after so much typing." Naruto replied.
"Don't worry I'm sure you'll get the hang of it." Sam assured him.
"Yeah after so many years of carrying shopping bags it's been cakewalk for me." Clover added.
"Speaking of shopping, anybody up for the mall?" Ino suggested.
Before any of them could answer their benches flipped over sending them into the ground down a tunnel, "I guess it'll have to wait!" Sam called as they slide down and land on the couch at Jerry's office.
"Morning spies, how goes things?" Jerry asked.
"Jerry we were in the middle of mall discussion." Clover replied.
"So sorry, but the mall will have to wait, you've all got a mission." Jerry replied.
"What's today's big time mission, Jer?" Naruto asked.
"We've just been informed an experimental tested space rocket has been swiped from NASA." Jerry explains.
'This NASA ring any bells in you, Kyuubi?' Naruto asked in his thoughts.
'The National Aeronautics and Space Administration', I know plenty,' Kyuubi started, 'They launched the first men into space like Neil Armstrong when he went to the moon, or the flight to the planet Mars.'
'Cool.' Naruto thought.
'Yeah I once worked there as a navigations expert.'
"So what would someone want with a rocket?" Alex asked.
"We're not sure yet, but we managed to find the perpetrator behind the abduction after we looked into NASA's security cams," Jerry explained as a screen was lowered down displaying video footage of a group of guys controlling the equipment on the launching area so that the rocket was set safely onto a long truck to carry it off. Jerry paused it and zooms into the drive side of the truck to reveal a man with long blonde looking hair in a perm fashion, dark stubble on his chin, and was wearing a skin tight black muscle shirt, and worn out jeans.
"Who is that?" Sam asked.
"And what's with his hair?" Ino asked
"Our records indicate this man is known as Otto Carlson, or as he prefers Roadkill Otto," Jerry explains, "He originally was a worker at NASA's rocket designing department, but was fired when he started designing rockets with engines and fuels that were just too unstable to launch into space."
"Obviously he's doing this for payback right?" Sam asked.
"Precisely." Jerry replied.
"Villains." The three experienced spies sighed.
"Another interesting tidbit about Otto is that he's brothers with Dr. Otis." Jerry added.
"Well there's one thing that you neglected to mention." Sakura said.
"Well you all got no time to lose so onto the gadgets." Jerry said giving the girls laser lipstick, the Expandable-Cable Bungee Belts, M-Ray Contact Lenses, Butterfly Beret Bomb, and Chewable, Glueable Tracking Gum. While Naruto got male versions of those gadgets.
"Be sure to pick up Fido before the mission Naruto." Jerry instructed.
"You got it Jer." Naruto replied.
"Ta-ta." Jerry said as he throws a switch and they were sucked back into the ceiling.
Soon the spies were in Washington D.C. undercover as tourists while Naruto was walking Fido like a regular dog, "First thing we need to do is find a clue onto where we can find Otto and the rocket." Sakura said.
"Well Jerry left us some handy info on him in our X-powders," Sam said looking at some data, "One of his favorite hangouts is the 'Wheelie Grill'." Sam read the info.
"That's not too far from here. Let's check it out." Ino said as they continued walking.
When they reached the grill Naruto noticed a sign on the door that red about not allowing dogs inside, "Sorry Fido." Naruto tells his dog.
"That is prejudice against all dog kind." Fido huffed while crossing his arms.
"Here will this make you feel better?" Naruto asked holding up one of the special treats Fido eats.
Fido opened his mouth panting. When Naruto tossed it to him he ate it. Then he started hugging himself while moaning in pleasure before he jumped high in the air and then floated down sighing. After Naruto tired him to a lamppost the spies entered seeing it jumping with bikers and riders. They sat at a table trying to blend in until they overheard a voice, "Say Otto I hear you got yourself a new ride." Someone said.
The spies turned to see at the far end of another table was their culprit talking to some other bikers, "Yup, hijacked myself a sweet rocket from the punks who let me go," Otto said, "Even added my own personal touch to it."
"So what're ya gonna do with it?" another biker asked.
"I'm gonna take it for a ride across country, it'll be the ultimate road trip." Otto explained to the bikers.
Naruto frowning jumped out of his seat and clicked on his X-Watch causing his tourist clothes to become his spy outfit, "You should really not gloat in public, Otto!"
"What the heck who're you?" Otto asked but was caught off guard as the girls clicked on their X-Powders and were suddenly in their spy suits.
"We're your worst nightmares." Sakura replied.
"Nah, I've seen scarier." Otto replied grabbing a tray and flung it like a boomerang at them only for the girls to dodge.
"Food fight!" Otto called causing everyone in the grill to start throwing food all around.
"Oh great!" Ino shouted trying to avoid the thrown food along with the others, but they ended up getting covered with numerous foods.
"Ugh gross!" Sakura cried.
"Girls he's getting away!" Naruto called to the girls as he ran through the food fighting bikers not caring if he was creamed with food. When they reached outside they found Otto running into an alleyway, "Fido let's go!" Naruto called as Fido ran beside Naruto but suddenly they stopped as a shadow covered them.
They looked up seeing the stolen rocket on wheels coming right around the corner. The rocket looked like is was tricked out with more engines to increase its speed, but also a new paint job of being colored dark blue with hot rod flames, "Nice look." Alex had to admit.
"Adios dude and dudettes. I got a cruise to ride!" Otto called as he fired up the rockets that started taking off.
"Let's go Fido. Jet mode!" Naruto called as Fido shifted to jet mode and Naruto rode him like a surfboard in the air. He tried riding after the rocket but was barely keeping up with it, "Damn! Can't you go any faster?" Naruto asked his dog.
"You know my jets don't run on nagging." Fido replied.
"Sorry kid, but no other ride can match my cruiser!" Otto called to Naruto who was way behind.
Naruto attempted to fire his bungee belt to latch onto the back of the rocket but it couldn't reach it, "Darn it!" Naruto growled, "I'm going to have to jump!" Naruto shouted as he jumped from Fido and landed on it, "I made it!" he shouted and climbed the rocket only to meet with Otto.
"No excess baggage!" he called kicking Naruto causing him to fall from the rocket but managed to chew the Chewable Glueable Tracking Gum and spat it onto the back of the rocket. He was than saved by Fido who swooped in and caught him.
"Gotcha." Fido said.
"Nice catch." Naruto said as they landed.
"Naruto!" the girls called as they made it over.
"What happened?" Hinata asked worried.
"He got away!" Naruto said looking down the street the rocket was driving down seeing it was already out of eyes reach.
"Great we'll never catch him now." Ino sighed.
"Don't worry Ino. I struck the tracking gum on his rocket so we should find out where he's going." Naruto said.
"New problem, look." Sam said pointing to the road seeing it looked like the pavement was melting.
"Whoa." Clover and Sakura gasped.
Alex put in the contacts while Hinata uses her Byakugan to observe below the streets and sees the bottom of it was weakening, "Looks like the flames from the jets, and the speed of the rocket flow is causing the ground below to collapse." Hinata gasped.
"And it looks dangerous." Alex added.
"If he continues to drive at that velocity he's going to cause the streets to cave in." Sam said.
"But he wouldn't be stupid enough to put it to full power right?" Sakura asked.
"He probably would." Alex said.
"Well we won't be able to stop him if we can't keep up with him. Not even Fido could catch him." Naruto added.
"Oh ya had to bring that up." Fido said in sarcasm.
"We better head back to Jerry and explain things." Sam instructed.
Soon back at WOOHP HQ, they were explaining the situation to Jerry, "And that's what happened." Naruto finished explaining the details.
"Oh my this is serious." Jerry said in shock.
"We know. What can we do?" Hinata asked.
"Well we managed to foresee this kind of event and we may have something that'll help you catch Otto and his ride." Jerry explained.
"What?" they ask.
"Follow me." Jerry said leading them out of his office and down below into a basement area.
"What're you going to show us, Jerry?" Naruto asked.
"Why this of course, behold." Jerry said in a displaying tone as a spotlight shined on a race-car looking automobile designed like Speed Racer's Mach 5, only the coloring was red with black flames painted on the back, and on the sides was the Uzumaki spiral symbol like the one on the back of Naruto's old orange jacket.
"Whoa, what is it?" Naruto gasped.
"I present to you the Uzumaki Mach 5 or what you would call it Naruto, your new ride." Jerry explained.
"For me?" Naruto asked
Jerry nodded, "Yes, your mother was the one who added the Uzumaki swirl on the side wanting it to have her own personal touch."
"I love it." Naruto smirked.
"But Jerry, Naruto doesn't know how to drive!" Ino called.
"Besides he's under age." Sakura added.
"Well we wanted to give him some practice runs, but apparently we got no time for that. After all desperate times call for desperate measures." Jerry answered.
"Will this be fast enough to keep up with Otto's ride?" Alex asked.
"There's only one way to find out." Naruto said getting into the drivers seat.
"Well good luck." Jerry said heading back to his office.
"I call shotgun!" Sakura called as she got in the passengers seat up front.
The others got in back but saw that it was very spacious and not cramped for either of them.
"Wow very spacious in the back." Alex noted.
"Courtesy of me." Max said standing in front of the car.
"Max, this isn't really the time." Sam said.
"Oh I know which is why I managed to set up a portal at the end of the tunnel that'll get you back to Washington D.C." Max replied.
"You're a lifesaver, Max." Alex said.
"So I've been told. See you later." Max croucheed down like he was sinking and he was suddenly gone.
"Think you can handle this, Naruto?" Ino asked Naruto from in back.
"No sweat." Naruto replied until he looked at all the knobs and levers that looked like they could trigger anything. Taking a chance he pressed a few buttons and pulled a lever, which in turn caused the car to cruise around out of control in zigzags until finally it positioned in front of the tunnel and drove off like a speeding bullet down the tunnel and through the portal.
Soon they were back in Washington D.C, with Naruto driving at a normal speed wanting to save fuel, "Now to find Otto," Naruto said pulling up a tracker that scanned the area and such for the tracking beacon he put on Otto's rocket. "Found him, and he's almost out of range. Time to rev it up!" he said pulling a lever that activated the cars turbo boosters causing the car to rocket off.
The girls were screaming from the velocity they were traveling while Naruto was laughing and cheering. Soon he had to put it on hold as he saw he was closing in on Otto and the rocket, "Oh yeah Roadkill Otto's cruising along baby!" he called in excitement.
"Hey Jeff Gordon, you're going over the speed limit!" Naruto called.
Otto looked down to the side seeing Naruto in his new ride keeping up with Otto's which was supposed to be unmatchable, at least according to him, "Whiskers?" he gasped recognizing him, "If you think you can outrace me in that jalopy you got another thing coming!" Otto called.
"Let's race than partner!" Naruto smirked as the two raced their vehicles all the way through Washington D.C, and going further through Virginia and Maryland.
As they raced, they were trying to knock each other off the road and using all sorts of gadgets their vehicles were tricked out with to get ahead of one another, "Naruto we have to stop this!" Sakura called.
"Sakura's right at this rate, the entire earth will cave in!" Sam added.
"Then I guess it's time to end this little race." Naruto smirked pressing a button labeled grappling hook. The Uzumaki spiral on one side of the car opens up and fired a grappling hook which was launched and pierces the rocket's outer layer.
"Hey watch the paint job!" Otto called.
"Time to do some disrupting!" Naruto smirked pressing another button which delivered a charge of energy through the grappling hook cable and into the rocket.
"Hey something's wrong." Otto said nervous as he was working his control consul but it doesn't respond.
"I wouldn't be driving straight ahead if I were you." Naruto smirked as he made a fast turn.
"Huh?" Otto wondered what he meant until he looked up ahead seeing he was riding straight for the docks leading to the sea, "Oh jeez!" As the rocket was skidding across the docks heading for the ocean Fido swooped in launching another grappling hook from his back catching Otto by the belt and pulled him off the rocket before it crashed into the water. Fido tied the grappling hook from atop a lamppost so that Otto was hanging from it, "No, my sweet ride, trashed!" Otto bawled in hysterics as he hung from the lamppost.
"Well you won't be doing much riding where you're going Otto." Ino called from below.
"If you're good we'll even get you a cell next to your brother." Clover added just to humor him.
"Well guys this was a fast mission." Alex joked but nobody got it.
"You know guys I think I found myself a new hobby here in America." Naruto said walking over to his car.
"What's that Naruto?" Hinata asked curiously.
"I think I'm going to take up race car driving for fun." Naruto smirked.
Soon enough, Otto was apprehended by WOOHP, and the rocket was fished out and returned to NASA to be repaired and unmodified from the stuff Otto added to it. Two days later, Naruto was parked out in front of the girl's villa having been told Sakura was waiting for him there. He was dressed in sneakers, a black suit and pants, along with a red dress shirt, along with having his hair nicely combed.
Soon Sakura exited the villa coming down the stairs. She was wearing pink sandals, a lovely red dress, carried a hand bag around her shoulder, and had her hair neatly done. When Naruto noticed her he blushed just like Hinata would, 'Wow, Sakura looks gorgeous.' He thought.
Sakura came down, "Hi Naruto. Ready to go?" she asked and noticed his look, 'Wow he actually looks handsome.'
"You bet," Naruto nodded as Sakura got in, "By the way Sakura you look great."
"Really, thanks?" Sakura smiled knowing he's being polite, "And you smell good."
"Thanks, just some cologne my mom bought me," Naruto replied, "Well let's ride." Naruto started up the car and drove it like a regular person and not like a race car driver.
"Well when you drive normally it's not too bad." Sakura said.
"Thanks." Naruto smiled as he drove.
"But won't people catch you? I mean you're still too young to be driving." Sakura added.
"Not to worry. Jerry tricked the windows and such with illusion images, so people will see me as a young adult," Naruto explained, "Saves me the trouble from constantly using henge."
"That's clever." Sakura admitted.
Naruto smiled as they drove to the theater and parked in the lot followed by Naruto putting a car alarm on his ride. The two got in the theater and were watching the movie which was one of those fantasy movies with a male and female warrior fighting evil to protect their home. Naruto watched in excitement from the actions scenes while Sakura admired the romance scenes. Suddenly Naruto heard nagging and criticism and turned to the side seeing Mandy who was being an obnoxious critic ruining it for the others, 'I'll show her,' He thought and whispered to Sakura, "You still have your laser lipstick?"
"Yes why?" Sakura whispered back.
"Because I got a plan." He smirked as he was given it and looked above the area Mandy was under to see a balcony and a drink was resting in a cup holder above Mandy. Naruto smirked as he quickly zapped the bottom of the cup causing the drink inside to slowly poor out and drip on Mandy's head.
Mandy realized something was pouring on her head she looked up and the drink poured onto her face and she shrieked, "Gah my hair!" she cried and suddenly an usher appeared.
"Ma'am I'm sorry but I'll have to ask you to leave for you disruption." He said escorting her out as she protested.
Naruto and Sakura giggled finally being able to watch the rest of the movie in peace. Soon after they exited the theater laughing, "Now that was some movie." Naruto said.
"Yeah the way how both of them managed to defeat the Dark King and got married at the end was so romantic." Sakura admitted.
"Yeah. Well its logic and fact that good always triumphs over evil. It's the way it was meant to be played." Naruto added.
"Speaking of triumph over evil, you sure did a number on Mandy back there." Sakura said.
"She was getting on my nerves, and I'm pretty sure everyone else's." Naruto replied.
Sakura nodded as she and Naruto got back in the car and drove off through the peaceful night. When they returned to the spy's villa Naruto walked her to the door, "Thanks for the night, Naruto. I really enjoyed it." Sakura said.
"You're welcome, Sakura. I'm glad you did." Naruto replied.
Sakura looked at Naruto in the eyes and for a moment felt like a new person, 'Wow I never realized it but Naruto is just so nice to me. And all I've ever been to him was a jerk because of Sasuke. I've wasted a lot of years trying to impress someone who didn't even know I existed. But Naruto's always valued my company even when I didn't appreciate him, I think I finally realized that I've viewed him the way my lust for Sasuke wanted me to view him. Well not anymore,' She thought, "Naruto?"
"Yes?" Naruto asked.
Sakura responded by kissing the blonde on his lips which caught the boy off guard, "Thanks for everything." She said as she went inside.
Naruto who was still in shock from that love peck went back to his ride and drove off until finally he cheered, "I did it!"
(Success to this.)
