Naruto Uzumaki, a 24 year old Asian-American blond male, had for some reason in life decided to become a street racer…don't ask why he just likes cars and living at a quarter-mile at a time (see what I did there).

Anyway our scene takes place at a garage about 100 miles away from a certain racing city.

Naruto was wearing a pair of denim jeans, a black t-shirt and a Oakland Raiders cap (he's a bad boy so it makes sense he favours the bad boys of the NFL.), he had parked his rather busted BMW M3 into the garage to get repaired since some idiot was driving on the wrong side of the road so, Naruto reacted steering heavily to the right where a broken bottle cap sticked into his front right tyre as he steered back into the road.

Luckily luck was by his side, because he saw a sign saying the nearest garage was a few miles away. Naruto climbed out of his car as his new black Air Jordans XX touched the ground, he walked up to the garage and found no one in it.

"Hello?" he said as he didn't get an answer

"Hello, anybody in here?"

"Yo I'll be with you in a minute man calm down." He heard the voice coming from a man working under the hood of a 1975 Ford Mustang, Naruto had the time since he had lost the heat he got from 'the race.'

So he decided to mesmerize the Mustang since it was a beautiful car even if he favoured Tuner he had some experience with Muscle.

After what it would seem like a few minutes the man was done as rolled out under the car, he was a Hispanic male about in his mid-20s he wore brown overalls and had a goatee.

"Thanks for waiting, now I'm Hector Martinez how can I help you?" he said as he cleaned his hands due he got some oil on them when working on the car.

"Yeah, I just need a change of tyre and a spare just in case I need another one." Naruto pointed to his Beemer.

As Hector just whistled in astonishment "Wow, nice car holmes, you're a tuner lover?" Naruto just shrugged.

"Not really I'm a lover of all cars, but she's the nicest car I've driven."

"Really, then I guess she's really taken good care of you."

"That she has."

After that Hector changed the flat tyre with a new one as he then put the spare tyre in the back.

"Alright done." Hector closed the boot.

"Great so how much?"

"For you my friend it's on the house."

"Really?!" Hector nodded.

"Thanks, Hector, I really appreciate it."

"Hey don't mention it as a fellow Raider it's a'ight with me."

He said pointing at his garage sign that said 'Hector's Garage' and had a sticker of the Oakland Raiders on it.

"Huh who knew…anyway say Hector as a mechanic you might know a lot of things right?"

"It depends on what those 'things' are."

"Well, you know anyplace where a racer can you know 'let off some steam' cause where I ran away from I won't be back there in a while."

"How bad is it?" Hector asked as Naruto just rubbed the back of his neck. "Well it's a long story but it all started with the race..." Naruto spent 30 minutes telling Hector his story about how he had to run away from Palmont and he needed to go all around the country just to make a living, his last adventure was with Rachel in Bayview but just like Palmont he screw the chance to live in that city up. Finishing Hector couldn't believe what he heard.

"Jeez, Naruto it was that bad, huh but yeah I know a place it's called Rockport and let me tell you holmes the racers there they have some guts and will do anything to win and I mean anything."

"Yeah, as if that's not the first time I've heard about racers being like that."

"Well from what I could dig up from the racers who've been in my garage coming back from the city, there's this system they use called 'The Blacklist'"

"The Blacklist? Sounds like a TV show if you ask me but continue." Hector just shrugged off what Naruto said as he continued.

"Anyway, it's like a hierarchy you can't just face number 1 you need to go through number 15 and then work your way up."

"Right, sounds simple enough, so you know who number 15 is?"

"Nope but from what I could dig up from some guy that came here yesterday is that he drives a black Mustang GT with flames."

"So I need to look out for a Mustang with flames got it thanks, Hector."

"No problem, holmes just come back soon so we can share a beer but not too soon until you become number 1 then you can come back."

Naruto just chuckled as he climbed into his car and was about reverse out of the garage till Hector walked out of his garage. "Hey Naruto hold up." the blond rolled down his window as he looked through it. "What's up?" Hector approached the car as he looked into the car. "Could you like do me a favour and like when you get to Rockport, could you just try and find my sister, she left a couple months back and she hasn't called me since, I tried calling her but her phones is always on voicemail. So could you do me a favour and check the place if let's say she's around."

"Sure." Hector took out a folded picture from his pants as he handed it to Naruto. "That's how she looks like, her name is Isabel she's very feisty that I should warn you about her and that you shouldn't get on her wrong side. Other than that can you just tell her that her brother Hector is worried sick about her and that she needs to talk to me, okay?" Naruto nodded. "Thanks, man, see you." Hector hit the door as he walked back to his garage, Naruto continued to reverse back onto the street and drove towards Rockport City.

Two Days Later

Naruto looked through the windshield of his BMW as he saw Rockport City in front of him. He had been driving for a while but eventually saw a sign saying 'Entering Rockport City.' Which was a breath taker because Naruto needed to get some shut-eye due to him driving 24/7 after leaving Hector's garage.

But the sight of the city made him get some energy back as he began picking up speed and overtook the car that was Infront of him.

He continued keeping up a speed of 130 m/h as he swerved through traffic going left and right as if it was nothing.

After he had officially entered the city he saw a red Mazda RX-8 trying to catch up to him so he decided to reduce his speed so that he could see who was this that wanted to talk to him.

The Mazda drove beside him and when Naruto looked at the driver he saw a rather hot female redhead that just smiled at him. Naruto just quickly pulled down his window "Sup." He said as the girl just chuckled and drove past him.

"Oh, it's like that, okay." Naruto just smirked as he changed the gear and gained some speed. Both cars speed passing an above sign that indicated that the road was leading to Downtown Rockport but the cars went a bit off-road as they passed through an abandoned building.

They continued their little race but since the blond was a gentleman he decided to let the girl take the lead since he was a gentleman, but this flaw bit him in the ass as when they stopped at the traffic light a police-decked Corvette stopped in front of Naruto's Beemer and as you guessed the redhead left Naruto to fend for himself.

"Just great I just got here and I'm already in trouble." He muttered as the Corvette's window rolled down and in it was a Caucasian woman and African American man who both wore black tinted glasses.

'Great, officers who passed the fashion test, could this get any worse.' the blond thought as both detectives got out of the car the man shined his badge in front of Toby as he stopped at the door and whistled signaling to Naruto to roll down his window which he did.

The detective rested his right hand on the door while his left held his badge, he had an afro, a mustache and was laughing rather menacingly "Oh man did you pick the wrong street to run on."

"Morning officer isn't it fine…" the man just raised his hand signaling Naruto to shut up.

"Sergeant Cross and…" he said admiring Naruto's BMW "…this is a nice car, gauges, shifter, wheel..." he said as he looked at Naruto.

"Is this all for show or is there something more I should know about?" Cross asked Naruto "Of course not sir, see I got this baby from my dad and we lived in Bayview so I just came here for my education."

"Bayview? You came from that dumb of a city with this ride? For an education? You must think I'm an idiot, there's no way your old man could afford this car, especially with the kind of specs that are on it." Naruto was about to respond until the female detective spoke up

"I'd like to take a little peak under the hood." She said taking her glasses off "Good idea." Cross said

"Let me tell you what's going to happen where going to take your car. Tear it apart and see if its street legal…" as he then looked at his partner

"…you know I think the odds are against that, get a record down here."

"Looks like your racing days are over." She said pulling out her phone as Cross spoke up

"Let me let you in on a little secret, street racing in Rockport City is finished. I've got a beautiful little surprise that's going to tear you guys apart from the inside out. Now get outta the car." Cross opened the door holding his gun that was in his holster.

Naruto was about to get out until the police radio beeped "Attention patrol division, units are in a high-speed pursuit of a possible vehicle aggressively evading custody…" the blond witnessed seeing Cross's face looking pissed which almost made him laugh but he kept it in keeping a poker face.

"…units in the area, directed clear and head up to provide cover." When the operator finished transmitting the issue Cross slammed the door of the Beemer which signaled, he was pissed as his partner climbed back into the Corvette.

"Next time you won't be so lucky…" he said as he took out his Corvette's key as he scratched the car from the back to the front at the time Naruto just felt like punching the Sergeant, but he restrained himself to not doing so.

Cross finished by blowing the paint off his key "Nice pinstripe." He complimented his work "Thanks for the compliment officer you want me to give you the number of the dick that did this?"

Cross just chuckled and climbed into the car and drove away, Naruto just sighed heavily and just started his car "I just got here and I am already known by the police just great." He said sarcastically as he drove to find a motel since he was very tired due to his long travel.

A Day Later

Naruto was a very deep sleeper he had only awoken from his slumber a few hours ago and since it was currently November and he was able to watch the Lakers play the Spurs which ended with the Lakers and Phil Jackson dominating over Gregg Popovich and the Spurs.

After the game was done Naruto decided to look for a race since it was boring to just sit around so he left the motel, filled his car to the brim with gas, and hit the road.

After cruising for a small while he eventually found himself in a race with a guy that was in a lime green Supra, they had a small conversation as they where driving beside each other his name was Ronnie McCrea.

"So what's the prize money?" Naruto asked as McCrea smirked "$10,000" Naruto just agreed with the amount as he started his engine "Prepare to get smoked." Ronnie said starting his engine "You know you sure talk a lot." Naruto replied which made McCrea pissed.

When both cars were warmed up enough Naruto released the gear from neutral to one so fast that he got a quick start. This momentum stayed with for 25% of the race until the tough left turn he had to take that needed him to reduce lot of speed.

But after that, he continued to drive rather smoothly with McCrea just on his tail but since the track, they were racing on had a lot of curves Ronnie was at a disadvantage because Naruto's Beemer was good at drifting, so it was all smooth sailing for Naruto till the finish line which was at the docks.

After stopping to collect his prize money from Ronnie who had stopped and was in a rage just threw the wad of cash at Naruto who caught it "Follow me now!" Ronnie said in anger "Why?"

"There's someone I want you to meet." He said as Naruto decided to follow him.

Ronnie took him to a small car meet down by the docks where Naruto saw the black Mustang with flames parking between a couple cars. "So McCrea knows Number 15." Naruto muttered as he stayed in his car "What did I tell you?" Naruto saw a man wearing a black tank top talk to Ronnie "Razor he shadowed me I coul…" Ronnie couldn't finish his sentence

"Shut up!" Razor shouted as he then looked at Naruto "Another bolt-on wonder boy ready to get smoked, why don't we save the grief and peel those parts right now."

"Bolt on or…" they all turned their heads to where the voice came from to see the girl from earlier and damn did she look hot. 'Ah, crap not her again.' Naruto muttered, "…that car's pretty hot." The girl said as she rested her arms on Naruto's open window

"Faster than anything here." She said making Razor pissed "You obviously don't know your cars sweetheart."

"I know your ride doesn't have a chance." This remark made Razor chuckle

"My sixty footer quarter-mile, what ever you wanna throw at the table smokes anything here, including this pump gas kid car."

"Well where's your punk money then."

"Five grand…" he said as the girl looked at Naruto 'Don't look at me you might be hot but I haven't forgot you dipping on me a day back.' Naruto thought.

"FIVE GRAND says my boy will smoke this clown."

"What does your boy have to do with this?"

"I ain't racing this nobody and I ain't taking no orders from some chick who just rolled on to the scene." Razor said looking at Naruto.

"Yeah, this here is the Number 15 guy on 'The Blacklist', you got a lot of rep to earn before you get to run with him." Ronnie said

"Don't nobody want to hear you talk McCrea you've already had your own sight of tail lights?" Naruto said making Ronnie clutch his fists.

"So are we doing this or not?" the girl said

"I got him." Toru Sato said looking at Naruto with confidence in his eyes. 'He looks familiar.' the blond thought as he looked at the Asian racer.

"Why don't we make it 10 grand."

"Oh, yeah so you want to amp this up let's do it right." Razor took out his phone and dialled the emergency number.

"Yeah get me the police we got a couple of guys about to street race down here at the shipyard so you better send the cops right away, maybe an ambulance too." He finished the call as the on lookers all went to their cars started their engines and left the yard.

"When Toru is through with you I never want to see you again."

"Can you get your bad breath out of my face, you're a racer but you don't know a thing about personal hygiene! Now that's just nasty." Naruto told Razor as the girl chuckled at the comment, Razor just looked chuckled dryly as he banged the door and walked to his Mustang. "Smoke that wannabe for me Toru." he told his subordinate who nodded.

Anyway after the race was set up he meet up with Toru in front of the shipyard as they began warming up the engines.

When the race started Naruto got a perfect launch which made him get a head start above Toru, he continued to drive as he drove on the freeway where he saw the Police cruisers which also saw him.

"Great one time." He said as the cruisers turned on their emergency sounds which Toby was used to.

The police made the race rather slightly rather difficult for Naruto as they where ramming on his car but he was eventually able to shake them off by make the units crash into in coming traffic and splitting them up.

In the end he won and Toru just threw the cash through the window. "Hey, nobody likes a sore loser." Naruto winned as Toru just rolled his eyes. "What does it matter you got your money, now leave."

"Excuse me?"

"Leave the city, Uzumaki." Naruto looked shocked this guy knew his name, how? "How do I know your name? Like I would tell you, the only thing I know is that your nothing but trouble Uzumaki so I'll tell you again leave this city before Razor puts you on his shit list, consider this my only warning." with that he sped off to tell Razor that he lost.

Naruto was only left to wonder, who in the hell was Toru Sato and why did he know his name.

Since Naruto had raced for two hours now he felt jet lagged so he decided to get some food and rest a little bit since he would need all the energy he had to get the respect he needed to earn.
