He really didn't like seeing her like this.

He was sat by a hospital bed, one hand holding her's to his forehead while she rested as best as she could. It broke his heart to see her like this.

His name is Naruto Nathaniel Walker, a half black, half japanese nineteen year old living in North Philadelphia. He was raised by his mother who barely made ends meet by working two jobs. She was constantly stressed, which was a factor in her need to smoke cigarettes. He knew she would sometimes go hungry just so he could eat, and he, at times, would hear her cry at night when she thought he was asleep, and that caused him more pain then anything.

He heard a light knock at the door, and saw the last person he'd expect to see. "Why are you here, Lucious?"

Stood at the door was Lucious Lyon, a former well-respected rapper and music mogul, now the founder and CEO of Empire Entertainment, a world-famous and renowned record company. "It's time to come home, son."

It took a lot of effort for him to not shout while his mother rested. "Ain't hear shit from you in over ten years, and now you wanna be a father? Ma ain't had an easy day since I became her responsibility, but at least she made the fucking effort. You just tossed me to her and left, and now you want me to-"

"Sochi."

A weak, whisper of a voice spoke up. Naruto's rant was cut off immediately, as he gave his mother his full attention.

"Hai, kaa-chan? Would do you need?"

"You were never a burden, sochi. I adored every moment I had with you." She whispered in Japanese.

"But, kaa-chan-"

"Shh. Go, sochi. This… this life… is not for you. You are destined to be greater then… the Fox of Philly." His eyes widened at this reveal. "You hate your father, yes?" He nodded. "Then the best way to pay back a prideful man like him is to become an even bigger star then he ever could've been."

They both gave each other matching grins. "Go, sochi. Keep making me proud."

"I will, kaa-chan."

She gave a smaller, more genuine smile at that, bringing his hands up to kiss them, then she sent a sharp glare to Lucious. "You will take care of my son, or Hell will be Heaven compared to what I'll do to you."

"He'll be properly taken care of, Kushina, I promise you." Lucious assured with a smile.

With one last glare to Lucious, she patted Naruto's cheek lovingly before going back to rest. Naruto didn't know it then, but that was the last time he would ever get to speak with his mother.

He got up, and walked to Lucious. "I'll go, but I'm not living with you."

The man smiled and clapped him on the shoulder. "I'll have an SUV sent to pick you up tomorrow morning."

"That's sounds fine."

He left without another word and went to his car. It was a black 2010 Dodge Challenger, that he built from scratch. He was truly proud of himself at his accomplishment, and he knew that someone would be stupid enough to steal it, so he put a tracker in it.

Sure enough, a new gang, only about a dozen strong, decided they should take his car. He went to the traphouse they were occupying, and beat everyone of them black and blue without a single injury on his person. The hoes they had there scattered while he found his keys in one of the gangbanger's pockets. He also stole all the cash they had, as well as the weed, but left the hard drugs.

It was that night that gave him respect in the streets, while he used the alias Fox to sell drugs. The police couldn't connect him to any crimes, but not from lack of trying. The fear and respect he had on the streets kept everyone's mouth shut, not to mention the general "I ain't seen shit" mentality everyone had in the hood.

Naruto never understood where the skills he had came from. He vaguely remembered dreams and nightmares he had as a kid. They were all filled with a blonde haired kid that shared the same name as him. That kid grew to be a commander of a stealth branch of shinobi, and those skills slowly bled into the current Naruto.

Multiple gangs and mobs tried to recruit him, but he turned them all down. Some were stupid enough to try and use his mother against him, and he killed them all, then took all their money and some drugs as payment for their stupidity. Other gangs were quick to take as much territory from the wiped out gang as they could. They all quickly learned to leave Naruto be.

Naruto was saving up to finally get out the ghetto, but his mom got cancer, and his funds went directly to paying her medical bills. As a hobby, he learned how to play several different instruments, and he began to make beats. He posted them on youtube using the name CashMoneyFP. They all quickly became popular nationwide and people were asking to buy his beats.

Seeing another opportunity to make money, he followed step by step instructions on how to build a website. He made a site with the sole purpose of selling beats, the prices varied with how much effort he put into making the beat. He even had a commission tab where people can either upload something they want him to sample or they describe the kind of beat they want for a price. He made sure to keep anonymity for that business. There were a lot of artists that used his beats and wanted to fly him out to work on some projects together, but he declined.

As he drove, he idly wondered what project he should drop first. If he's going to be a legend, then he's going to need to have consistent bangers.


Nia Ward just finished moisturizing and oiling her whole body to keep her skin smooth, and to entice her man. She sat on her bed watching TV, and waiting for him to come home. He visits his mother in the hospital twice a week to bring her flowers and just share her company, and he would always come home to her seeking affection afterwards because it hurt him to see his mother like that.

She loved him, and she knew he loved her too, but she felt she was too damaged to be anything significant in his life. Her parents overdosed when she was young, and her uncle took her in. She was abused mentally, emotionally, and physically to become solely dependent on him. Thankfully, she wasn't sexually abused, but she could barely make decisions for herself when she was with him. Her uncle was a part of one of the gangs that tried to use Naruto's mother as a hostage to make him work for them, and he was killed right in front of her in an alleyway.

He was smacking her around for some reason or another before a knife thunked into his head and he dropped as if his strings were cut. She felt a sudden sense of loss when he died, until she looked into the eyes of the man who did the deed. She latched onto him from that day forward.

He, thankfully, didn't push her away, and helped her become a bit more independent. He taught her some self defense, and how to project confidence even though she internally feels terrified. She's definitely gotten better at being alone, but there were times when she relapsed and needed Naruto there to comfort her.

They were each other's first time, and she really tried to keep up with Naruto, but he had too much energy. She became a stripper with the stage name Stackz both so that she could work on her confidence, and so that she invite women to their bed, and she encouraged him to fuck other women, so long as he came back to her. She discovered that she liked to watch him fuck other women while she masturbated.

As she sat watching TV, she heard the front door open and a smile grew on her face.

He entered the bedroom and she got up and hugged him. No words were spoken as they just held each other.

He undressed as she disrobed, and they laid on the bed, kissing and caressing each other.

"We're moving." He suddenly said.

"Where we moving to, daddy?" She asked, kissing his chest.

"My punk ass sperm donor finally decided that, after thirteen years, he wants to be a father. Before I could tell him he could suck my dick, ma told me that if I hate him so much, then I should be a bigger star than he ever was. I agreed, so a car is coming to pick me up tomorrow. The building for Empire is over two hours away, so it would make more sense to move. Start looking into houses and land I could buy in New York. It'll be a year at most before I get the funds, but it's better to have a plan."

"Will we get to design the house, or are you gonna buy one already built and renovate it?"

"Shit, it depends on how much I got to spend."

"You'll figure it out." She assured as she began to stroke his dick. When he got hard, she climbed on top of him, and slowly slid his dick deep inside her causing them both to moan. "I love your big dick, daddy."

They began kissing as he gripped and molded her big ass while she slowly ground herself on his crotch. She straightened slightly, and he began to lick and suck her sensitive nipples. She used to be self conscious about her small breast, but Naruto was an ass man through and through, and she was toting a wagon.

Bouncing on his dick, it didn't take long for her to start creaming on it. They spent the next couple hours making love, slowly and passionately.


Naruto stood outside his apartment building talking with his friend. He wore a black hoodie with a grey wife beater, a pair of black jeans, and black low top converse. "Nigga, I swear you rap like an Uzi."

"What that even mean?" His friend laughingly asked.

"It means, when you're not mumbling like a possessed nigga, you rap fast." Naruto replied.

"Yeah, whatever nigga. When I make it, I'm gonna change the game."

A black SUV pulled up to the curb. A man in a black suit exited and opened the back door.

"Guess this me. Aight my nigga, I'm out. Be safe." Naruto dapped up his friend, and walked to his ride.

The drive was uneventful, but Naruto spent that time listening to his beats, and thinking of lyrics to them.

When he made it to Lucious' mansion, he could admit that it looked good. He rang the bell and waited a bit until a maid opened the door. He entered to see Lucious standing next to a beautiful woman. She had short black hair and red lipstick that matched her dress and heels.

"Welcome to my home, Naruto. Your brothers will be here soon." Lucious greeted. "This is my girlfriend Anika. Anika this is my second born son, Naruto."

"Nice to finally meet you, Naruto." Anika said while shaking his hand.

"Likewise." Naruto replied politely.

"Anika, I have a meeting to get to. Why don't you show Naruto around?" Lucious invited.

"I'll be happy to." Anika accepted as she began to give the tour, and Lucious left for his meeting.


Naruto's meeting with his brothers was… something.

Andre is an ass-kisser that tries too hard to get their father's approval.

Jamal is gay. He does an decent job hiding that from their father, but Naruto has seen enough DL niggas to tell the difference.

Hakeem is a little rich boy who wishes he was a gangbanger. He and Naruto will definitely have issues in the future. Naruto is a certified hood nigga, raised in the trenches, while Hakeem wishes to live the life Naruto has, just so he could say he did.

Before Naruto could leave, Lucious got a text about a get together with some rich and powerful men. He was about to decline immediately due to the fact he stopped gambling after he nearly lost his company, but he hesitated. He figured a party like that could help Naruto integrate with rich people, maybe help him network. He offered to let Naruto go with his invite, and he accepted. Lucious could've sworn he saw a smirk on his son's face, but it came and went too fast for him to properly see.

Now, Naruto is spending his evening idly walking through a massive mansion with Nia, after he went to pick her up. Powerful people like Jeff Bezos, Simon Stern, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, David Geffen, Mayor Robert Weldon and his Deputy Mayor Raquel Alvarez, the Chief of police, and the District Attorney, the US Attorney and more were in attendance.

Naruto got a glimpse at how corrupt they all were, so he discreetly had his phone recording conversations and how they would disappear with other men into rooms.

He spent a good amount of time getting dirt on as many people as he could before stopping. He decided to do as the Romans do, and joined in the festivities. He enjoyed some champagne and even got some head from Janet Blakely, someone he recognized as a member of the board of directors at Empire, and Raquel Alvarez.

Raquel gave him some interesting information while he fingered her. She was apparently Andre's contact at City Hall, and fed him information since she had a wide net of info to pull from. They made use of a room, and Naruto went above and beyond. He got both their numbers, and a hope to repeat the performance every once in a while. Nia came almost as much as the other girls by just masturbating at the sight.

Now, he calmly made his way to the gambling tables with a flushed Nia attached to his arm.


Currently, the French businessman, François-Henri Pinault, looked over his cards at his new rival, and just observed the young black man who had dominated these high-stakes poker games. Naruto had won stock, cash, a private plane, a superyacht, deeds to houses and businesses.

It was supposed to be a "harmless" game. Who would be the first to break the hoodlum that doesn't belong? Then, it quickly devolved to a game of Pride.

Naruto kept winning and the men didn't want to leave with their pride damaged. It's not like they couldn't easily make back the money they lost.

Simon lost all his clubs, and his private plane. Bill lost the small percentage of his controlling shares in Microsoft. Elon also lost stock in Tesla and 30 million, David lost his precious yacht, and Jeff got the worst of it. He lost all of his shares in Amazon making Naruto the new controlling shareholder.

They all had left the table highly upset and their friends had stepped up to redeem them, only to lose as well.

Pinault wanted to win their stuff back, not to give it to them, but so that he could add it to his already growing empire. He watched Naruto, trying to get his tell but he just saw Naruto looking at the party down below at his girlfriend who was shaking her ass with some other girls.

"I fold." Naruto said as he threw his cards down and looked over as Pinault scooped up the pot.

Pinault's mistress, Shiori, sat nearby sipping a cocktail. She stared at Naruto and the young man nodded in greeting to her.

"Gentlemen, the next ante will be 200,000,000." the announcer stated.

These games had been going on for hours, and soon people were leaving.

Pinault raised.

Naruto folded again.

The next hand Naruto raised.

Pinault matched and raised again.

The two men stared at each other as the dealer flipped over another card. Shiori rubbed Pinault's shoulders as the billionaire checked his cards. He matched another raise from Naruto.

The dealer flipped the last card. "Bet to Mr. Walker." He said.

"All in." Naruto slid his chips to the center of the table. Naruto had been winning and had an uncanny knack for folding whenever Pinault had a great hand. If Pinault won the hand, they would be about tied. If he lost he'd be done. If he folded, he might last another hand or two.

"Let's make this the last hand, kid." Pinault offered having placed a contract signing away all his stocks in the pot and Naruto did the same with the contract he got from Jeff.

"What are you proposing?" asked Naruto.

"Winner takes all."

Naruto shrugged. "What do you got?"

"Two pair. Kings and Jacks."

Naruto flipped his cards over. "Four aces."

Pinault's heart sank as Naruto scooped the pot up. "I'll give your company back if your lady spends the night with me." Naruto joked as he stood, causing Pinault to scoff.

"I'll do it." Shiori said. Naruto, Pinault, and the just arriving Nia to look at her.

"Shiori." Pinault said smiling. "Good girl. You get my woman for the night."

"Shit, I was joking. You serious?"

"Yes." Pinault affirmed. Naruto shrugged and looked at Shiori.

"The whole week." Nia interjected, causing Naruto to smile at her assertiveness.

"Deal." Pinault said so long as his company remained his.


Naruto, with his newfound wealth, booked a luxury suite in a hotel, and didn't waste time with Shiori. Turns out, he wasn't being racist when he thought to himself that she looked familiar. She was the Japanese pornstar Shiori Tsukada, infamous for her thick ass, and big breasts.

Naruto was very quick to find out that the lame ass, noisy ass blowjobs that Asian pornstars usually do is all for show. Shiori worked his dick over like the pro she is, despite it being between twice and three times the size of the dicks she's worked with in her videos. She was quick to bathe and lather his dick with spit, and stroke it with both hands. She swirled her tongue at the tip, while being at an angle to allow drool to easily lower itself on his dick.

Then she began to slide his entire length down her throat. He was completely surprised by this action, and it cemented the idea that filmed Asian blowjobs were faked. He'd never seen her, nor any other JAV woman deepthroat. He held her by her hair and kept her going at a steady pace. Nia slowly played with her slit while watching this.

Shiori's astounding chest flopped slightly when she pulled her strapless mini dress down, and immediately wrapping them around his dick. He groaned as she kissed and swirled her tongue around the couple inches that were still exposed. She looked up at him, in the demure way she was known to do.

"Do you like that, Naruto-sama?" She asked in Japanese. "Kami, your dick is so irresistible." She proceeded to suck on it faster.

"Get up, Shiori-chan, and bend over the bed." He practically growled. She was quick slurp her lips off, and rushed to the king sized bed. She bent over in that awkward way all JAV models do. "Arch your back downward, like a proper whore, and stick that ass up." He smacked her massive ass, causing her to yelp, and comply.

When she arched properly, her ass became more pronounced, and like a magnet, he couldn't stop himself from being pulled directly between her cheeks. He kissed her anus, making her gasp, then lowered himself to her pussy, and began to eat it.

He didn't know just how long he was down there, so enthralled he was, but he came back up from his worship when her legs wouldn't stop shaking. He stood back a bit and observed the labored breathing woman. "T-too much. You made me cum so many times."

He smacked her ass again. "Come on. Arch that back." She complied, still trembling, and he began to slide in her absolutely soaked pussy. He went slow because of how tight she was, but with how wet she was, he was able to fully sheath all his inches deep inside her.

He just stood there for a moment, just basking in the pleasure he was feeling, while Shiori unconsciously clenched and unclenched her walls, getting used to his size.

He started slow, letting her get used to his size, making her mewl in pleasure. He gradually sped up his tempo until he was really fucking her. She had tears freely flowing from her eyes as the amount of pleasure she was feeling overwhelmed her. Her filmed orgasms were all faked for the camera, so she's never truly experienced a real one. The onslaught that she's being assaulted with kept her mind in a constant haze of pleasure.

Her clarity only returns whenever he smacks her ass, something else that was a novelty to her. She was used to being fondled and groped softly in weird ways and in even weirder places. The kisses were oddly aggressive, with the tongues being all over the place, just making a mess.

It was different with Naruto. When he kissed her, it wasn't a slobbery mess, but a dance that he leads. He gripped her ass, then caressed it, then spanks it. She was soaked before he even dropped his pants. They always had to use a lot of oil to hide the fact that none of the men she had to sleep with made her wet.

"Oh, K-Kami!" She cried as the biggest orgasm she received tore through her. Naruto simply pounded harder prolonging her pleasure. He stuck a thumb into her ass while she came, and that seemed to trigger something as she fainted, her body still trembling.

Not keen on fucking an unconscious woman, he raised her fully up the bed, next to where Nia was furiously fingering herself, going through her own orgasm. He stepped back and plopped down on a seat in front of the bed. "Nia. Come ride this dick.

Nia, through slightly shaky legs, rushed towards him and quickly lined herself on his dick, then slammed herself down. Both groaned as she ground herself on his lap.

She leaned forward, close enough that Naruto had no trouble wrapping his lips around her nipple. She rested both her hands on the very top of the chair, and started bouncing her ass up and down on Naruto's rock hard tower. Her ass jiggled and shook hypnotically as her pussy juices seeped from her.

He smacked her ass while his arm was wrapped around her back possessively. "Shit!" Naruto groaned.

"You like that, Daddy? Hm? This tight pussy feel good, don't it Daddy? It's yours. Nobody else. It's all yours." Nia whispered in his ear while she slowly wined her hips. He held her tighter as she spoke. She kissed him, then looked into his eyes. "Please put it in my ass, Daddy."

They kissed as Naruto pulled out, and began to hotdog his dick between her cheeks. She rose and took hold of his dick, then slowly lowered herself and impaled his dick into her well lubricated ass. She's been planned on asking him to fuck her ass, so she lubed and had various toys to prepare herself.

She rested, fully hilted on his dick, one hand on his knee, and the other rubbing her pussy. Holding her beneath her thighs, he began fucking her. She fingered herself furiously while began to build momentum.

Next thing she knew, she was face down, ass up, while Naruto came deep into her bowels. Shiori was awake and sitting on her back while deeply kissing Naruto.

"Got DAMN!" He breathed heavily, Shiori kissing his neck. He stumbled his way backwards into the chair, and Shiori already had him in her throat by the time he got comfortable.

She cleaned his dick, and suck out any lingering sperm, before getting up, turning around, and impaling herself onto his dick.

He rested his arms on the armrests, occasionally smacking her ass, making her already wet pussy gush. She groaned in pleasure instead of the squeaky noises she made on film.

"That's right, bitch. Take this dick. I got you for the whole damn week to become obsessed with it." He smacked her ass again, and felt her cum.


Naruto looked up at the building in slight awe. Sure, He's seen it many times on TV but whenever he does, his... father was on talking about some shit he didn't care about.

He entered to see the hustle and bustle of all the employees. He took notice of his father standing by the reception desk, and made his way there.

"Welcome to Empire, son. I would love to show you around, but I have a board meeting to get to. Won't take long. 30 minutes to an hour. If you need anything talk to Lucy, the receptionist." Lucious says walking off towards an elevator.

Naruto scoffs. 'The fuck am I even doing here?'

Walking closer towards the desk, he leans over and clears his throat getting Lucy's attention. She was your average, bottle blonde receptionist. "Good morning, sir. How can I help you?"

"Can you show me to the studio?" He asked.

Raising an eyebrow, but not questioning it, she gets up and leads the man towards an elevator, and presses the second to last button. As the door closes, she takes a closer look at the teen who she's escorting. At first glance, she thought it to be one of her bosses sons but upon closer inspection, she notices his eyes are slanted. 'Maybe he's part Asian? I shouldn't assume that.' She thought.

"I don't believe I've seen you around before." She stated.

"Yeah, I just got here from North Philly." He replied.

"You don't sound too happy about it, what brought you out here then?" She asks, intrigued.

"Lucious is my father. He finally decided to acknowledge that I'm one of his kids and sought me out yesterday." He says curtly, looking at the numbers on the screen show the number 3 before dinging.

Walking out, he notices her shocked expression. "What's good with you?"

"Lucious never mentioned having another son." Lucy managed to get out, completely flummoxed.

Naruto snorted. "Yeah, I bet."

They walked to a door and entered. Hakeem was talking to his entourage, not noticing someone walking in.

Stepping further into the room still unnoticed, he sees a guy with a black bandanna wrapped around his forehead and a high top fade, A Denim Jacket by Supreme X Levi's, a Vintage t-shirt, blue Saint Laurent jeans, white sneakers by Vans, a So Icey Boyz diamond chain and a diamond watch.

Hearing the beat, he walks over.

"What's good, bro. You mind letting me hear that from the start?" Naruto asked.

The guy raised an eyebrow at him, then shrugged before starting the beat over.

"Damn! Ayo, lemme spit sum real quick."

The guy shrugged again, and began setting everything up.

Naruto walks in, unaware that his father walked in just as he entered the booth.

[Play: Who's Stopping Me - Big Sean]

As he was rapping, he gained the attention of Hakeem and his entourage. Everyone was bobbing their heads, both to the beat and the lyrics. Hakeem glanced at his dad and saw the pride that was in his eyes.

Stepping out the booth, he ignored everyone and made his way to the producer. "Aye bruh, that shit was dope. Naruto Walker." He held out his hand, and the producer dapped him up.

"Thanks, bruh. My name's Leland, but I go by Metro Boomin."

"Aight, young Metro. Let's parlay."


It started small-ish. He downloaded tiktok as his alias CashmoneyFP and posted beats on there for singers and rappers to freestyle on, and grew a quick and massive following on that. When he revealed his identity, and that he was going start dropping his own music, he received a lot of support from both fans, and artists he worked with in the past.

He made several viral songs on tiktok, no real skill involved, just some catchy lyrics with 808s bumping. When he generated enough buzz with those, he posted the full songs on all streaming platforms. Then, he dropped a couple of music videos, the one with the lowest views being 100 million. Then, he dropped a couple mixtapes to showcase his lyricism and truly became popular.

He's networked with multiple celebrities, and slept with even more. He was already considered an A-List celebrity, despite not dropping an album.

Currently he was sitting in his father's mansion cooking on a laptop. He had a beat stuck in his head that wouldn't go away until he made it. He was with two of his brothers in the gaudy dining room.

Hakeem's feet were up on the table as he drank a beer, while Jamal sat casually.

"You gonna release another single?" Jamal asked.

"I wanna take my time, cut a whole album first. I think that's why the first one didn't catch on." Hakeem said as his first album flopped.

"Yeah, you're probably right. That's smart to take your time." Jamal nodded.

"Oh, so NOW your ass didn't like it?" Hakeem said.

Jamal laughed. "Nah, it was good. But I think cutting a whole album before you release a single will strengthen your sound."

Hakeem nodded as Andre walked in. The awkward atmosphere that filled the room was cleared when Jamal got up and gave Andre a hug. "Good seeing you, Dre."

"You too. How's your friend?" Andre asked sitting down.

"Good, real good. We should all get dinner, he'll cook for you and Rhonda. He cooks good." Jamal said looking through his phone.

"Her schedule is pretty crazy, but we can figure something out." Andre said, getting a nod from Jamal, despite knowing it'll never happen.

"Cool, cool."

The door opened and the boys looked up to see Lucious walk in. "All here. Good. I need to talk to you all." He smacks Hakeem's feet off the table. "And get your big ass feet off my forty thousand dollar table. Now, the reason I called you all here was to tell you all something." Lucious started as Naruto packed his laptop away. "Y'all know, Andre and I been working round the clock to turn Empire into a publicly traded company. This is some historic shit. I'm going to do what Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, Russell Simmons, Puffy, and Jay-Z were never able to do. I'm going to turn our business into a Fortune 500 company. This is my legacy."

"You're gonna be a tycoon." Hakeem smirked.

Lucious grinned at his youngest son, "That's right, Negro. Once we go public, I'm no longer a retired gangsta from Philly; I'm IBM and Coca-Cola."

Hakeem and Andre beam at their father, they love it while Naruto looked ready to leave and Jamal looked indifferent. Lucious looked at each son pointedly and said the following carefully. "As part of going public, I need to pick someone who's going to take over the company when I'm gone. It's not gonna happen today or tomorrow, but I need to start grooming a successor. And I can only pick one of you."

Andre and Hakeem stare at him, the importance of this conversation fully dawning on them. Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Are you serious? What is this, King Lear?" Jamal asked.

"You can call it that if you want to, smart ass, but over the next several months, I'm going to make a decision."

"So what are you saying? That we're all in competition to be the future head of the company? Even your bastard?" Andre asked.

Naruto looked over at Andre and rose out his seat. "Hey!" Lucious yelled, raising a hand at Naruto before he looked at Andre. "You were a bastard yourself Andre."

Andre frowned before Lucious sighed. "Listen, it's time for you boys to figure out what you want from this life. And then you need to take it. This is an opportunity for all of you to show me what you're made of."

Naruto left, while the other brothers shot each other glances. They were being pitted against each other, and whether Lucious acknowledges the fact or not, that will do irreparable damage to their relationship in the long run.

Naruto awoke the next day in a somewhat melancholic mood. It was the anniversary of his mother's death.

Extracting himself from the still sleeping Nia, he did his morning routine then went to the room that he had built in his home dedicated to the tamaya, or memorial shrine, of his mother. His mother taught him to be just as proud of his Japanese heritage, as he is of his black heritage.

He followed the small ritual to honor the dead, and just stayed silent, basking in the memories of all the love his mother had for him. He usually wasn't one to post on his personal instagram, but he had a sudden urge to share something personal.

He got up, pulled his phone out, stepped back a couple steps, and took a picture of the tamaya. He posted it as well as a picture of her healthy and happy.

'It's been five years since cancer took you away. I'm proud to say that I'm no longer in the streets, but I'm sad you aren't here to see it. I'll keep rising for you, ma. We have always been, and we will always be. #fuckcancer'

The last sentence was a motto that his mother always said. He didn't really understand what it meant, but it was important to her, so it was important to him.

Seeing the post already getting thousands of likes, he closed his phone and got up to go about his day.


Meiko, a gorgeous Japanese woman, scrolled through instagram at the base of her work. She got a notification that someone she follows posted something for the first time in a while.

She saw it was a post from her favorite artist, Naruto. She looked at the pictures, and froze seeing the picture of Kushina.

She read the caption and nearly dropped her phone. She turned to her identical twin sister, Keiko. "K-Kei-chan! We need to see oyabun."

A bit startled at her sister's declaration, Keiko leaned away while clutching her own phone as if they were pearls. "What? What's going on?"

"Look!"

Keiko took the hastily given phone and inspected the screen. She let out a small gasp when she saw Kushina, and almost lost her breath entirely at the caption.

They looked at each other, then got up in unison, rushing through the traditional looking Japanese mansion passing servants and guards. They stopped in front of a room with two big security guards posted in front.

"We must speak to oyabun. It is extremely urgent, as well as very important." Keiko announced.

The guards glanced at each other, then stepped to the side, one pulling the door aside as he did so. The women stepped into the room and waited to be acknowledged by the older man in a kimono kneeling in front of a grand tamaya with a women who looked very similar to Kushina in the picture frame.

The man wiped his teary eyes, then slightly turned his head to speak to the twins. "I truly hope this is an emergency if I am being disturbed while honoring my wife."

"It is, oyabun. May I approach?" Meiko asked. At a gesture from the oyabun, she approached and handed the phone to him. She swiped the picture from the tamaya to the one with Kushina.
