Sorry for the spelling mistakes, English is not my mother language, I'm using a translator XD

Chapter 1.

The minutes passed and passed, the cold night did not spare him any second, but the night was not the only thing that did not spare any second, everything around him, if he made any kind of mistake, the city would give it back to him three times as hard, it was something he had learned during his short existence.

Drugs, violence, poverty and exclusion have not disappeared in the year 2077 and people have remained as they were centuries ago, selfish, closed-minded and weak. But not only are the ghosts of the past troubling humanity, but new problems have appeared. Psychopaths are accumulating, and the streets are full of people addicted to a new form of entertainment: Braindance, a cheap way to experience the emotions and stimulation of other people living a more exciting life.

Living a more exciting life... normally that was just an excuse to have a better existence, in the lower areas, you didn't live or survive, you lived badly, people with luck could afford it and if not, you went to the street and nobody would care about your existence, in the city, the only thing that mattered was the amount of money you have in your pockets, if you weren't born with a suit, normally your life will be a misery.

All that and more in the big city of Nigth City, the city of dreams, where you can get whatever you want... if you have the guts to do what it takes.

Sitting on top of a not so big building, was a blond boy leaning against the wall of the building on his back, beast a light brown jacket over a slightly tight black t-shirt, wearing slightly baggy black pants with black sneakers with white soles, being that he also had a backpack next to him that matched his jacket.

-Let's see if they arrive soon-, the boy said in a low voice, while he looked at the cliff beside him, on the street there were hardly any people passing by, it was early morning hours and the area he was in was not very visited by people, at least not the people who plan to go out partying.

And as if a divine being had heard him, the blond let out a small sigh of happiness when he saw how a car approached and entered inside the garage where he was, -At last they arrived-, he said again in a low voice, while he threw himself from the edge of the roof, Anyone who saw the scene might think that doing that was directly a suicide, but not for this boy, who landed on the ground as if it were nothing, without receiving any pain apart from a slight discomfort, but that did not affect him almost nothing.

Thus, the boy quickly entered the garage in which previously entered the car that seems he had been waiting for the last few minutes, so the boy hurried to get to the vehicle, from which 2 people got off.

One of them was quite corpulent, had his hair tied in a bun and the front part of his hair was marked in a circle that gave him a somewhat comical touch, having this of a black color, being that this beast with a black leather jacket and a tight jean of the same color, jean in which where the belt should go was one, but full of bullets.

The second person was dressed in a jacket that was a kind of dark brown, with a simple black T-shirt and black pants, having his hair quite short on the sides and at the top already a little more grown, having this same of a brown color.

-Hey, you finally arrived, V, Jackie," exclaimed the boy with a slight tone of happiness, while he called the attention of the two men in front of him, being that the most corpulent smiled pleasantly to tell him, "We didn't make you wait long, did we," while he placed his hand on the blond's head, which reached just below his chest, "Well, I got a little bored doing nothing, but I'm fine," he replied to his friend, whose name was Jackie.

-What a nice reunion, but nothing happened while we were gone, did it?", asked the other man, who as a throwaway we can assume is V, who got straight to the point, it seemed that they were not visiting the area, to which the blond got a little more serious to say, "Nothing, absolutely nothing happened, I'm sure our target is still here", he had arrived in the area about half an hour ago, to make sure that no one entering or leaving could interfere with his plans.

-Well... then we can proceed normally," said V as he began to walk towards the internal exit of the garage, which led to the upper floors, being followed by his other 2 companions, "Do you have your weapons," asked the same man as he checked that his gun was in good condition.

-Are you ready Naruto," asked Jackie as he loaded his pistol and removed the safety catch, To which the now discovered boy as Naruto, nodded his head while he made sure he had enough bullets for what was coming, -I was born ready Jackie-, he said it with a confident tone, which made the mentioned smiled and gave him a pat on the back to say, -That's the attitude, boy-, being so the 3 entered inside an elevator, and just at that moment they received the request to make a group call, to which they accepted mentally and a voice began to speak to them.

-The target is Sandra Dorsett. Her biomon went off a couple of hours ago. Possible kidnapping, target may already be dead, I don't know if they got there in time-, the one who had spoken to them was a bald black woman, to which Jackie replied, -We have time Bug, we have, even if you're not here, you're still part of the squad-, to which her partner named T-Bug said, -Squad... Great-, without much desire, -Bug, try to be a little more... nice-, -You want nice, call a helpline," having said those words, the team's netrunner fell silent.

-Even if we have time as Jackie says, we could have secured the objective if I had gone in by myself a while ago or if you guys didn't take so long," said Naruto while leaning against the elevator wall looking at the elevator door, "I already explained it to you, we had to take care of something else and we were already stuck there, We couldn't just leave, that's why we asked you to come and make sure that nothing strange happens while we are not there, and we don't know how many guys will be in there, that's why you didn't act alone-, he explained again the situation V to his younger partner, who said nothing and only nodded his head.

-All right ladies, the good part is coming," announced Jackie as she watched the elevator door open, and so, the team of 3 proceeded to walk down a long hallway, which led to the homes of the people who lived in the building.

-It's apartment 1237, the target will be inside, but I have no visual of his biomon, hopefully it's not too late, agh, this life or death shit sucks, hurry up," T-Bug informed them through the call they were still having in progress, to which Naruto during the journey noticed how a woman came out of the door of her apartment apparently excited, surely she was waiting for someone for a long time.

He was sorry to have to ruin the woman's excitement.

-Madam, enter your apartment, things are going to get a little ugly around here," the boy announced to the woman, who quickly understood what could happen, and with a nod she quickly closed the door of her home.

-Try to hack the door V, it shouldn't be too difficult," said the netrunner, to which the aforementioned nodded his head and looked at the door, while he internally hacked the door which opened as if nothing had happened, "Good, not a word," said Jackie in a low voice slowly entering the apartment trying to make as little noise as possible, which the other two boys repeated, So they silently entered the apartment, in which they walked through a small hallway which led to what could look like a dentist's room, with the difference that there was much more advanced technology, adding that on the seat was a corpse covered with a black plastic, with a considerable amount of blood around it.

-Shit V... Is that her? Sandra Dorsett is protected by grade 2 body immunity, fine thing," said V as he removed the plastic covering to reveal an open body in the area of the stomach and part of the chest, "I'm sure we're too late, damn it," exclaimed Jackie starting to worry, "Sandra Dorsett is protected by grade 2 body immunity, fine thing," said V as he removed the plastic covering to reveal an open body in the stomach area and part of the chest, This one is wearing black market Zetatech patches, patches and bad patches, she's not our girl, we have to keep looking," continued the man as he went over the information he had received from T-Bug.

Jackie approached the door that led to the next room next to Naruto, to which the older of the two of them slowly opened the door, seeing out of the corner of his eye that there was a guard or something hanging around the area, "Do you want to go get the boy," he proposed to the blond, who said, "You don't have to say it twice," as he crept into the room and approached the guy who was next to what looked like a freezer.

Approaching with almost no noise, the blond took out a knife from his pocket that seemed to be quite sharp, and so, he quickly parried and without hesitation, he cut the jugular of the man, who did not even have time to scream before noticing how his life was gone in a few seconds, and taking advantage of the freezer, Naruto opened it with one hand and pushed the corpse inside it, it would be a nuisance if they discover it.

-It seems that at least this room is clear," the boy announced, To which the now discovered boy as Naruto, nodded his head while he made sure he had enough bullets for what was coming, -I was born ready Jackie-, he said it with a confident tone, which made the mentioned smiled and gave him a pat on the back to say, -That's the attitude, boy-, being so the 3 entered inside an elevator, and just at that moment they received the request to make a group call, to which they accepted mentally and a voice began to speak to them.

He was sorry to have to ruin the woman's excitement.

-It seems that at least this room is clear," announced the boy, he knew he didn't have enough strength to knock someone out with a blow against something, or to strangle him, so he had to do it with a knife or similar if he wanted to do it quietly, anyway, he was also starting to train strength, so it was only a matter of time until he stopped relying on tools for these cases.

-That shit! ; Even I couldn't have done it better, the best on the planet-, Jackie congratulated the boy, who sighed slightly when he heard what his friend had told him, sometimes he found the words he used a little funny, -Well, let's go on-, V cut the conversation short while he advanced through a corridor that was in a corner, which at the end led to another room where there were more of these gang members, -Jackie, go to the other side, I'm going to bring them here", and without having to say anything else, his partner did as he asked, and then he picked up a bottle of beer that was right where he was, and the only thing he did was to throw this same can in the hope of making enough noise to attract the attention of the gang members.

Which to his luck he was able to do, -Did you hear that? asked one of the guys in the room, -It seems that it came from the hallway, Chay went that way to look for something, maybe it's just him-, said one of the gang members, to which his partner said, -Is something wrong Chay?-, but what he did not know, was that his partner had already died, -No answer, come, come with me to check if everything is all right-, asked one of the men to his partner, who nodded his head and both headed for the exit.

Too bad that was his death sentence.

V looked at Jackie, who nodded understanding what his partner wanted to do, so it wasn't many seconds before the two gang members had passed through the exit, and almost instantly both Jackie and V grabbed them both by the neck and dragged them as far away from the door as they could and then broke both of their necks and let them fall silently to the ground.

-Well... from what I see, there are only 3 other guys left in this room, a good clean shot in the head and everything will be ready, they are not cold, are they? proposed V smiling slightly to his companions, who smiled back and took their pistols out of their holsters, -When you say so V-, Naruto spoke to him, being so his companion entered the room without making noise followed by the other 2 guys, and made them a gesture with his head to choose their target, taking advantage of the fact that they were distracted watching other things.

And suddenly... 3 loud gunshots echoed throughout the room, followed by the sound of lifeless bodies falling to the floor with their heads blown off.

-Let's go people, we have to find the target fast, it can't be far away," announced V without caring in the least about the people he had murdered in cold blood, "Okay, spread out around the house, I'll check over here," said Naruto as he holstered his gun and went further into the apartment entering a small living room, in which there didn't seem to be many things, being that the other team members did as said by the blond, it was best to cover as much ground as possible to find their target as quickly as possible.

-Hey, I think I found her," said Naruto as he entered a room that was a bathroom, which was next to the room he had been a few seconds ago, and having said those words, his teammates quickly went with him and entered the bathroom.

-V said as he analyzed the place, noticing how in the bathtub there were what seemed to be 2 corpses, and the worst thing was that 1 of them was probably their target, -I think I have her, the target-, V continued speaking as he approached the bathtub and threw aside the body of a man without giving it any importance, since what they were looking for was the girl who was in the same place, -So, is she alive-, asked T-Bug wanting to know the situation, -I don't know-, he answered.

-You have to connect to your Biomon to find out, quickly," ordered the netrunner, to which V, without saying anything, took out a cable from the bottom of the palm of his hand as if it were the most normal thing, and connected the cable to a connector that was behind the girl's ear.

-Sandra Dorsett. NC570442. Trauma Team platinum-, was the medical identification that the woman had in her arms, -Platinum?, shit, Trauma should have come at the slightest sneeze-, Jackie was surprised by what had happened, Trauma was the VIP hospital of the wealthy, if any accident happened and you paid their plans, they would come to your rescue at the slightest irregularity, obviously if you paid a small fee for their services.

-They have blocked the signal, they must have hacked the biomon by reconfiguring the firmware or by inserting a neurovirus," he explained, -Bug, you're not here, the only thing there is is ice, hooks and butcher knives, I doubt they use something as advanced as that," he told the situation to the netrunner, who quickly understood what he meant and proposed.

-So a low budget hacking, look at his neuroport, is there a chip, just take it out, it will be silencing the biomon-, it was the most crude and useless way to try to hack a biomon, to which V followed the words of his companion, and noticed how next to the port where he was connecting to the biomon there was a chip, -And we have the culprit-, he said while he removed the aforementioned chip, and instantly a voice was heard saying.

-Greetings, Sandra. If you are conscious, adopt a recovery posture, an emergency evacuation unit has been sent and is scheduled to arrive at your location in 180 seconds-, voice that only V could hear, since this same voice was playing in Sandra's biomon, -The biomon says that Trauma will arrive in three minutes-, V was in charge of transmitting the information to his companions, -Your premium plan will cover 90% of the expected costs of your rescue and treatment-.

-We have to get her out of the ice," Jackie proposed, provoking a nod from V, who removed the cable that had connected the woman's biomon and began to take her out of the ice, but just at that moment Sandra had begun to convulse, which didn't look too good and V quickly said, "Syringe now! V exclaimed while he asked it to any of the 2 boys, being that Naruto was the one who reacted faster and ran to where the naked woman's body was while he took out a syringe from his backpack and injected it to the woman in the middle of her chest, which seemed to have recovered Sandra in an optimal state.

-Shit... just a little bit", said Naruto slightly nervous about what had just happened, "It's okay, we have to take her outside, Trauma will be here soon", said V while he took Sandra in his arms and started to walk towards the balcony, being escorted by Jackie who made sure that there was no unexpected intruder.

And so, V took the woman out of the apartment and almost instantly a Trauma team vehicle was seen arriving on the scene.

-Landing, move away, initiating security protocol, follow the instructions, it seems at the door," announced a voice coming from the vehicle, being if that V stayed at the door as ordered, being behind Naruto as Jackie who only watched as the vehicle down Trauma armed men who pointed at them at all times.

-One of the men ordered him while he threw something to the ground, which was quickly seen to be some kind of extendable stretcher, to which V approached at a safe pace while he left Sandra's body on the stretcher without making a fuss.

-Five steps back, now," ordered another of the men as V left his client on the stretcher while he pushed him, and the rest of the guys were in charge of stabilizing the woman's vital signs, and after that they quickly took her to their vehicle to provide her with better care and leave the place, without caring in the least about the rest of the people in the building.

-Well, I guess that's it, good job team! The show is over," said an already carefree Jackie with a big smile, while he took Naruto by the shoulder who nodded his head smiling a little, "Well people, I'm disconnecting, we'll meet again when necessary, soon, I hope," said T-Bug with a little smile, Although he sometimes had his frictions with the team, he liked working with them, -Let's get out of here-, said V already taking a more relaxed attitude, having a small smile on his face while he walked towards the door, pushing his friends aside, who started to follow him towards the exit.

-Look V, I have something to do, do you mind if I use your car," asked Jackie as they passed a door and walked down the hallway, not caring about the corpses they left in their path, to which V made a sound of thought with his mouth, to which his friend quickly added, "I have an appointment with Misty, but... I can't go by subway! I can't go by subway, I wouldn't look good at all-, that was the reason why he wanted to use the car.

-I'm not going to leave you stranded Jackie, but don't get used to it either," he gave his friend permission to use his car, who was happy to say, "You're a lifesaver V, thanks, how about I drive? I'll drive you both home," he proposed as a thank you, "I'll leave it in your hands, I'm in the shit-, he allowed himself the small luxury of not having to drive this time, he had had a long day and he just wanted to rest, "Just drop me off at the subway station, I'll manage from there-, said the blond while scratching the back of his neck, his house was quite far from V and Jackie's house.

So, in order not to waste their time, they always accompanied him to the subway only.

-As you wish gold, we will take you home in person," said Jackie with a small smile as they all left the apartment and started to head towards the elevator, "Yes... when you are free you can go, mom would surely like to see some familiar faces," commented the blond with a sad smile, "How is she, is she getting better," asked V for his partner's mother, "Yes... well... she is getting better, she can't work as much as she used to, so these errands are good for me to pay for my expenses, I can't work as much as I used to, so these errands are good for me to pay for my expenses. Well, she's getting a little better, she can't work as much as before, so these errands are good for me to pay for the expenses and medicines we need-, she didn't have the best quality of life, but little by little everything was getting better, slowly but surely.

-If you need more money, just ask for it man, it won't be necessary for you to do some kind of work, you are like family to us-, V spoke while he put his hand on Naruto's head to stir his hair a little, causing the boy to smile slightly to say, -Yes... I know-, it comforted him to know that at last, he has people he can call "friends", and be able to trust them...

Something he had never thought he would find.

The raindrops were hitting his window, causing him to have a slightly blurred vision, but that didn't prevent him from seeing all kinds of advertisements with neon lights or on screens scattered all over the streets, as if in one there wasn't an ad, the city would die in that instant.

If he had been asked a couple of years ago, he would never have imagined that he would be in this place, it had always been only rumors or loose words, but finally he was there, maybe it was not what he expected, but everything had improved considerably to where he was before...

He never wanted to go back to that place again.

-Night City never ceases to amaze me," said Jackie as she drove the car through the busy streets of the city, even if it was in the wee hours of the morning, "It's a city like any other, but very big," said V down, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not like any other, Morgan Blackhand, Andrew Weyland, Adam Smasher! Legends are born here-, claimed Jackie to his friend, being that Naruto quickly said, -And obviously I will become one too-, with a sarcastic tone, to which Jackie laughed to say, -Of course you will be, boy, just wait and see-.

And so, Naruto again leaned back on his seat looking at the window, longing for the day when he would no longer have to worry about anything and have a long and quiet life in the city, away from the problems, he knew that the deeper he got into this world, the harder it would be to get out, but it was this or working 20 hours in a gas station and barely being able to pay the debts, the choice was obvious.

-Well boy, here we are," announced V to his friend, who came out of his world with a small smile, "Thanks, guys, see you later," he said as he opened the door and got out of the vehicle listening to his friends' goodbye, "As soon as I get the payment I'll transfer you," said V finally, making the blond nod his head, and without saying anything else.

And so, the blond was left alone, watching as the car where V and Jackie were going disappeared around a corner, being like that he knew it was time to go home, he had to hurry to get to the subway if he didn't want to get completely soaked.

Already sitting on the subway seat, he just watched the raindrops hitting against the window, feeling that a quite relaxing sound that he could listen to for hours without getting bored.

But the thing that made him open his eyes from his little rest, was to hear a slightly fast and forceful footsteps coming from the carriage he was in, so he noticed a young woman with white hair and purple and red gradient pupils. With light red eye and lip makeup. Her hair cut in a parted mane, with the left side longer, and dyed with a colorful pastel rainbow gradient. Her eyes seem to mirror with the colors of her hair, wearing a cropped white jacket with a black netrunner jumpsuit with sleeves and thigh highs with red accents over a pair of white shorts and grey high socks, and black knee high boots.

Woman who seemed to be stealing the chips of people in suits, it seemed no, she was stealing the chips, it was clearly noticeable in her movements, plus she was using a kind of magnet to steal the small devices, it is not as if he was about to interfere, he also made a living doing quite questionable things, although the thing was going to change if that girl dared to steal his chip, so for safety he placed a hand where was the slot where he had it placed so he could not steal it.

Being that just at that moment, the white-haired girl passed in front of him sharing a quick conveying that he knew what he was doing, but that he was not going to do anything, which brought a small smile to the young girl who continued with her act of stealing chips.

And when it passed, Naruto again took a relaxed position while listening to the soothing sound of the drops hitting against the window, waiting for the subway to reach its destination so he could return home...

He didn't want to worry his mother to be arriving at this early hour of the morning.

-I'm home.

Naruto said as he entered his home, which was not so big, but it was perfectly suitable for just him and his mother, besides the rent was not too expensive either, so he could afford it quietly.

-Surely she must not even be awake-, he said seeing that he had not received any response from his mother, so most likely she is asleep in her room, so Naruto approached the bed that was not far from the door, since it was only a 2 room apartment with a bathroom, on the other side of the house was his mother's room and the kitchen...

And while he was taking off his slippers, he noticed that something was strange, because almost always his mother had the lights off, being that in those moments it was on, besides there was not a plate of food covered for him as his mother used to leave it when she went to sleep when he had not yet arrived.

-Mom, are you there," the blond asked a little distrustfully, while he broke with one of his hands the pistol he still had holstered, which he removed from it and got up from the bed, at the same time he began to walk slowly towards the other area of the small apartment with a confident step.

And passing the kitchen to see the door of his mother's room, he took the knob with caution, always holding the pistol that he manipulated with his right hand, and thus, he slowly opened the door where his mother was supposed to be, he entered with the pistol up, having his finger ready on the trigger to fire it if necessary, being so with a mental order he turned on the light of the room, which was illuminated to reveal that the bed was completely empty and with the sheets scattered by the same one.

-Mom?

The blond asked fearfully, feeling his heart racing with the fear of what might have happened, causing him to let his guard down for a moment, and poor him...

He had agreed to his sentence.

Out of nowhere, Naruto felt a force coming from his back that pushed him to the ground without him being able to do anything, -Agh, let me go," claimed the boy noticing how some men dressed in black armor reduced him, having his hands tied to the others with great force and unable to do anything, -What did they do to my mother?

Subject Number 6.2.3 has the right to remain silent-, were the words that the man had said, being that in addition a third man had entered the room to place a rifle in his head threatening to shoot, at the same time that they placed a cable in his connector behind his ear, being that just at that moment the blond had taken out what seemed like two blades or claws of his skin, that went from a little before his wrist to before the forearm, which upon receiving the information of the plugged cable quickly returned to be saved.

-He tried to stay in a firm position, but he knew it was only a mask, he was just a click away from passing to the other neighborhood, but while he was doing all that show, Naruto tried to call V or Jackie or anyone who could help him, but when he tried to do it he realized that the signal was blocked, apparently the cable that had been plugged in had disabled the possibility of making calls.

He was completely cut off.

-Well, well, well, well, but look who we have here.

A voice was heard coming from the door, and a middle-aged man, more or less, wearing a white coat and shirt with a black tie and glasses, with black hair combed to one side, could be observed.

-You...", said the blond with a great remorse, looking with great hatred at the person who had crouched down in front of him, "Is this how you receive me, I thought you would be a little happier to see me", he used a sarcastic tone in his voice, "Did you really believe that? Oh come on, you shouldn't be so angry to be reunited with your father, don't you remember all the fun times we had? those words had made Naruto even angrier, and he quickly responded...

-Don't you dare to say that you are my father, never!-Don't you dare say that you are my father, I will never remember you as such, your "happy moments", for me they were nothing but torture after torture, when I escaped from your dirty clutches, they were the happiest moments I have ever had in my life," he said with such hatred that it was palpable.

-I'm sorry that's what you think son, but I have the solution for that, you and I will have a comforting father and son time, without interruptions from Kushina," said the man while he smiled wickedly as he stroked the blond's hair, who frowned even more and shook his head so the man would take his hands off him, -I'll never go back to you, I hate you from the deepest part of my being," he continued to antagonize the man, maybe he couldn't face the situation, but his pride wouldn't allow him to take a step back, and much less with the sewer rat he was in the presence of.

-It's not a matter of whether you want to come or not, I mean you will come with us anyway, but if you don't come without putting up any resistance, your "mom", as you call her, will die-, those words had made Naruto go a little crazy for a moment trying to get up from the ground, but the gun he had in his head didn't move back an inch, -It wasn't so difficult to capture that woman, after all, what would a sick woman like her do," he knew that they were only provoking him, but he didn't like at all that they were talking about his beloved mother, he knew that they wouldn't kill him, he was too valuable to lose him, but his mother was something else.

-Let her go, she has nothing to do with this," to which the scientist replied, "Oh, yes she does, after all she helped you escape and integrate into this new life you have," at that moment, the man got up from the floor to start walking towards the door, to close the conversation with a few last words.

-You choose, either you come voluntarily and Kushina is still alive, or you come by force and she dies... although that would simply be rushing the inevitable-, he laughed slightly when he said the last sentence, which made Naruto even more furious, who understood that he could not do anything, he was not going to let his mother die for nothing, since he was cornered anyway, he was sure that outside the perimeter was closed, it would be impossible for him to escape.

So he completely stopped resisting the men who had captured him, and let his head fall to the ground with a downcast look, already knowing in advance the things that would happen in the coming days ...

I only hoped... that everything would end quickly...

Opening his eyes slowly, Naruto could see a blinding white light, which caused him to quickly cover his eyes with his arm and slightly squint his eyelids, noticing that once again...

-And here I am back-, said sadly the blond seeing how he was in a completely white room, from the clothes that beast, to the simple furniture that was in the place, which was reduced to a desk and a chair, including the bed in which he was lying and all that that entailed.

-I see you woke up-, said a familiar voice to the blond that irritated him too much, -I hope you had a good sleep-, a fake kindness was plagued in the voice of the scientist he hated so much, -Just tell me one thing Jayce, where is my mom, let me see her and then you can do whatever you want with me-, said Naruto as he sat on the edge of his bed looking at nothing.

-Mmm... You see, I would gladly show you your "mother", but unfortunately I can't do it, but don't worry, I promise it's okay-, he already knew that this was going to be his request, which he couldn't afford to accept, to which Naruto frowned a little to say, -Your promises are not the most reliable-, he claimed to the scientist who only laughed a little and then said.

-Well... it's not like you can do anything to change it, you can only take my word for it", and so, Jayce approached Naruto while he extended his hand to her, "Come with me, we'll spend some quality time together, what do you say?

-Let's end this quickly-, with a very angry tone, he knew he could do absolutely nothing in that situation, at the slightest false step his mother would die, he was too valuable to discard him, and even if he wasn't going to work for their purposes, they would use him to experiment how far he could go sane.

His only hope was that this whole bunch of assholes would make the slightest mistake that he could take advantage of and get out of their clutches, he had already done it once, he could do it again, although it would be much more difficult because they would most likely have greatly increased security.

But it didn't matter... he only needed...The slightest mistake...

How much time had passed?

One week? two? three? he had lost count, the only thing he had done in all that time was to go from point A to point B, which consisted of going to the laboratory and returning to his room.

In those four walls that he had to call his room, he was completely isolated from the world, he didn't even know the time, he had no idea if it was day or night, he had no means of entertainment apart from what they did to him in the lab, all that was done with the sole purpose of seeing to what extent he could keep sane, without falling into the cyber psychosis that plagued so much in Nigth City.

Being that also to his bad luck, he couldn't find any weak spots that he could take advantage of to be able to escape or anything like that, as he was constantly watched by cameras, with his technological enhancements completely disabled, being in that place, and the hallway he went to the lab through always accompanied by Jayce, only had one door that seemed to be super reinforced, and he was sure that upstairs or anywhere to where from that door is constantly watched, being that afterwards the lab he spends most of the day in...

He only had that stretcher on which he had suffered so much, with other scientists watching him from a higher point protected by a darkened glass that hid them, but it was very clear to him that they were there.

But what mattered and worried him the most, is that at no time of his entire stay in this prison, he had not seen his mother even once, that did not let him sleep at night... or days, he did not even know that, he felt that at any moment his mental stability would go down the ravine and it would not be because of cyberpsychosis.

-Good to see you Naruto, how did you sleep," Jayce asked having again his evil smile, making the blond frown, feeling the impotence in all his being, "Better than yesterday and better than tomorrow, let's just go to your stupid recreation room so I can be your lab rat," he stopped abruptly as he passed by Jayce and began to walk down the white corridor having as destination the laboratory where he would spend the rest of the hours of the day.

So the scientist quickly hurried to catch up with the blond and say, -I see that today you are in a hurry to arrive-, -Take me more, take me less, anyway I will end up in this stupid room-, he said with a palpable hatred, while he opened the door that led to the laboratory, where normally there was only a white dentist's table next to some apparatus that would induce him in a cerebral dance, which would show him the most macabre acts of cyber-psychopaths with the intention of breaking him, wanting to test how far he could go, and if he managed to pass absolutely all his tests. ..

He had no idea what could happen to him...

But when he entered the laboratory, Naruto saw something that stopped his heart for a second, where only used to be the stretcher to lie down, now there was a stretcher on which on the sides were several scientists with various tools distributed in trays on tables...

The time had come for a new implant...

That had caused Naruto to clench his fists tightly while frowning, one of the things he hated the most was that they put shit that he had not asked for in his body, so when he had escaped from this place, he tried never to use his implants unless they were very necessary...

Every time they put something like that in him, he felt like he was losing something of himself, apart from his organic parts obviously.

-Ah, yes, today is a great day boy, you're going to get a great improvement-, Jayce was saying while standing next to Naruto and adjusting his glasses, -Fuck you-, exclaimed with a great hate the blond, who couldn't do anything to avoid what would come in the following minutes, -Oh come on, you shouldn't get upset, it's a great advance for everyone-, he placed a hand on the blond's shoulder, who quickly took it off him to say.

-A breakthrough for you, you know how much I hate it when they put junk in my body," he exclaimed as he began to slowly advance towards the scientists who were waiting for him to begin his implant surgery.

-I know you don't like this, but if you manage to overcome this, you will pass to the final part of the plan, the objective for which you were born will finally be fulfilled," explained Jayce seeing how Naruto stayed a few steps away from the stretcher, noticing how the boy's hands began to drip blood from the hardness of his grip.

-That goal I don't even know it, it's a simple dream that they tried to impose on me by force, too bad that I won't voluntarily fulfill that stupid goal they want me to fulfill," he took off the white slippers he was wearing, and then lay face up on the stretcher on his back on the stretcher looking at the radiant white light of the spotlight, patiently waiting for his surgery to begin.

-Even if you don't like any of this, I think you at least have the right to know what we will put on you, not like the previous times," said Jayce while he approached one of the tables that had a black briefcase quite protected, which after a retinal scan and a mental check, opened to reveal what appeared to be a spinal exocolumn.

-What is that," asked Naruto who had no idea of what they were going to place this time, "How can I explain it to you... in itself, it is a neuralware, an operating system that like all implants are connected to the brain through your spine, with the difference that this is not a weapon itself, like some of the things we have placed on you," she carefully removed the valuable neuralware and brought it a little closer to Naruto for him to see it better.

-This beauty that humanity has created, is a military grade operating system, not even the strongest men in the entire army could endure using the power of this neuralware without falling into cyberpsychosis," he continued explaining what was what he had in his hands, which made Naruto worry a little, maybe that would be the day he would fall into madness, he had gone through many things, but never by any implant that is of military grade.

-This work of art is a combination between the powerful Sandevistan, which gives you a feeling that everything around you slows down, but what happens is that you move so fast that you feel that everything is slow, and to that you also have to add the great Berserker, which empowers absolutely all your physical and mental capabilities, if you manage to survive this you would be almost unstoppable-, he said with great excitement of what Naruto could become if the device was placed.

-This beauty, I like to call it... Order-.

The blond, listening to all the things that this new implant provided him, knew that it would not be very easy to be able to cope with so much pressure in his body, at least he thought so, since they were not telling him anything, all these enhancements should cost him something.

-And as I told you... if you manage to survive Order, something even greater is in store for you, and finally, the objective for which you were created will be fulfilled".

Jayce had a great emotion in his voice, the project in which he had worked for so many years, was slowly approaching its end, having results that even he did not expect at the beginning of everything...

One last effort... that was all he needed.

Naruto was a little afraid of what the future would bring if he managed to overcome the Order, even more if he could endure it, nothing assured him that at that moment he could become a cyber-psychopath, something that inside terrified him?

He... he still wanted to live...

-Jayce... before... before the surgery starts, let me at least talk to my mother... please-.

It was the first time Naruto asked something to Jayce with such a degree of sincerity, he wasn't sure he can overcome this, and if he didn't, the last thing he wanted to hear was his mother's voice before falling into madness... that was the only thing he wanted in those moments.

-Look, I can't bring her right now, but when the surgery is finished I will, I promise," he looked into the eyes of the blond, while he adjusted his glasses and smiled discreetly, being that Naruto didn't notice that and only nodded his head praying for that to be true, "Okay...", the boy said a little nervous, while one of the scientific surgeons placed a cable in his head so he would fall into a deep sleep, so they could perform the implant without any discomfort.

Thus, the last thing Naruto's eyes saw before falling into unconsciousness, was the radiant white light that illuminated all that room, in which he had grown up since he had been a baby...

He hated that light so much...

A loud sound that sounded like a fan echoed in his head, he did not know what he was doing there or how he had arrived, he only knew that things had changed radically in his life, everything... everything had fallen apart...

Naruto was sitting in the subway that he normally used to go home... home that he didn't know if he could call it that way anymore, after everything that had happened the only thing he wanted was to end all this at once...

But he couldn't, he couldn't afford that luxury, he had promised himself...

The blond was without his white shirt, he only had his white pants, which were stained with blood everywhere, as he did not have his shirt, he had his torso completely uncovered, also stained with blood, also noticing black lines on several parts of his body, which were small parts of his implants uncovered, and speaking ofin the part of his arm in both of them you could see the sharp blades that he had as an implant, noticing inside that a good part of his body were implants, besides that you could obviously notice his most recent "improvement". ..

The Order.

Everything that had happened was caused by that shit he had on his back, but it had also allowed him to escape, but at a great price... he would have preferred to have stayed locked up there if none of this had happened... but what they had done he could not have controlled the situation, but now... he had no idea what to do.

He had tried to call V or Jackie, but neither of them had answered him, he had also tried T-Bug, but nothing, apart from those 3, he had no one he could fully trust, he was going to try again later... Maybe they were on too important a job that they couldn't answer him, he didn't even know what day it was, he had no idea how long he had been locked up.

But something that had taken him out of his mind for a moment, was that he began to hear footsteps advancing surely through the carriage, turning his head to the left for a moment, there he saw again the girl he had seen a while before the day his sentence had been agreed, apparently she was still continuing with this job of stealing people's chips.

Even so without giving it importance, Naruto lowered his gaze back to the ground thinking about nothing, the only thing he wanted to do was to lie on his bed to rest for a while, and then he would think about what to do with his miserable life, his only hope was to be able to communicate with V or Jackie, if that plan didn't work, then he would be completely lost.

Although what made him come back to reality for a moment, was the feeling of something approaching the back of his head, and just at that moment he heard a beep at the back of his ear, or rather where his chip was, which contained important information or that would put him in danger if it fell into the wrong hands, most likely they were already looking for it with everything Arasaka had, and so, he felt how it flew out of his compartment, causing the blond to open his eyes quickly and activate the Order to capture the wrist of the girl who had his chip.

-I'm not in the mood for these things, don't try to steal me," Naruto said coldly as he lightly squeezed the white-haired girl's wrist generating a pressure in that area, although he hated having to use his implants, in this case he had to force himself to use it, after all he had very relevant information in that chip, which if it fell into the wrong hands would agree to his death sentence, something he could not afford.

So the girl stared at him for a couple of seconds, noticing a slight difference in height in favor of her, to which she quickly broke free from Naruto's grip while throwing her chip into the air, and he caught it easily to put it back in place.

-Come with me," said the white-haired girl while she dragged Naruto, who hesitated for a moment whether to play along, he was not in the mood for all this, but there was still a while to reach their destination and maybe this would distract him at least a few minutes of his misery, so he let himself be guided for a few seconds until they reached an empty part of the wagon.

-What the hell are you doing? you're ruining my job-, the girl claimed with a pose and voice of authority to Naruto, who simply frowned to say, -I'm sorry miss thief, but I can't let you steal my chip, the corps would offer a big part of their companies for this information, I can't let you sell it for a couple of edis-, replied the blond as he started to turn around while saying, -If you are just going to scold me because I don't want you to steal from me, then I'm leaving, I hope you succeed in your business-, he was about to start walking just at the moment the girl raised her eyebrow for a second to take Naruto's face between her hands and start to touch it indiscreetly, causing him to frown a little at the sudden act.

-I know you from somewhere," she didn't know why, but she felt that she had already seen this guy somewhere else before, and it wasn't that time they also saw each other in the subway when she was stealing more chips, "I doubt it," she began to take a few steps back feeling that this was not going to end very well, while the girl lowers her hands to her bare chest stained in parts by blood, being that in one part the Arasaka logo was marked a little...

For them he was just a simple product.

-But look what we have here," said the white-haired girl after having put Naruto against the wall who was simply leaving to see how far the girl was going to go, since he could escape very easily from her grip, so the thief's eyes lit up in a bright red, and so she scanned Naruto's body going to what interested her most which was the implant he had in his back.

-A child with a Sandevistan, no... it's not just that, it's a new model, it's not even registered, it hasn't even been announced apparently, it's like a combination even more powerful than a Sandevistan and the Berserker, how did you get this," asked the white-haired woman while she brought her face even closer to Naruto's, who remained relaxed having everything under control.

-I don't think that's information you need to know miss, after all, this is Nigth City, to each his own," he smiled slightly as he looked sideways at the woman, who smiled a little to say, "Oh yeah, I like you a little boy, how about working together," the woman proposed, to which Naruto raised his eyebrows a little incredulously to say.

-In what, stealing chips in the subway, sorry, but I already have a team where I get a better pay and with more exciting jobs-, to which the girl smiled a little more to say, -Well, it never hurts a few extra edis, and although it is not so exciting, you could do it almost always and not once in a while like some serious jobs-, she continued insisting him to work with her, to which Naruto frowned a little to think about it for a moment.

V had told him several times that sometimes it was also good to take smaller jobs to generate profit, and he was currently completely unaware of where his friends were, that they were the ones getting the jobs that they then performed.

-And who are you supposed to steal from, anyone you come across," he asked, turning his head a little to look at the woman, who answered, "No, I only steal from Arasaka executives," which made the blond frown a little and ask, "Then why did you steal from me, do I look like a corpse," without understanding why she had stolen from him, without understanding why he had stolen him, -Well, that Arasaka logo on your chest doesn't give much room for interpretation-, no implant that Arasaka made used to leave a mark or something similar, only the typical metallic edges that used to stand out, but that was more aesthetic than anything else.

-That's a long story that doesn't concern you-, Naruto answered without having intentions to tell the reasons why he had that logo on his chest, as soon as he has the opportunity, he would remove that shit from there, he didn't want to always have to see that shit there, -Ah yes you don't want to tell me, what a bad boy-, the girl said sarcastically to the blond, who answered him changing the subject.

-So your goals are those of Arasaka? to which the girl looked at him excitedly to say, "I count on you! Naruto slowly nodded his head, causing the white-haired girl to back away revealing that Naruto had a golden wire around his neck that constantly threatened to kill him, but just when she was going to start to unwind it, the blond made an implant appear on his neck, which was like a sharp blade that cut the wire straight, being that Naruto was always aware of that threat and could have countered it at the slightest action that could harm him.

Something that made the white-haired girl smile slightly and said, -Tell him, thanks to your parents for having made you so smart-, words that had bothered the blond a little, but he simply remained silent before those words.

-I'm sorry to say this, but I doubt that dressed like this I can go out to steal chips," Naruto said while he saw himself noticing the ugly smell that came from all the blood on his body, besides the fact that he wasn't wearing a shirt, to which the white-haired girl smiled a little to say, "Don't worry, anyway I was about to finish for today, shall we start tomorrow? asked the white-haired girl smiling a little, to which Naruto thought about it for a second, maybe this way he could distract himself for a while and not fall into the misery of his thoughts, so he took the thief's hand to say.

I'll try-, causing the white-haired girl to say, -Tomorrow at the next stop at 3 o'clock, do you think so?-, and the blond nodded his head with a small smile, -I think so-, at this point he had no plans for today, nor for tomorrow or the day after, so it was okay...

Maybe... it could be a new start for him... again...

-Naruto-, he said his name to the girl who would be his companion, who answered him with a small smile...

-Lucy.
