When Naruto walked in the saloon everyone paid him no mind unlike the last time he stepped in. Scanning the place he didn't seem to find Matthew and Jeff. Going to where the bar tender was stationed, he sat down at one of the stools.

"Good day, mam." Quinten greeted Naruto who smirked. "Nice to see you too, Quinten." the man looked shocked when he expected to hear a feminine voice but instead he heard Naruto's manly voice. "What in tarnation!" he shouted as Naruto quickly put his finger on the man's mouth.

"Now don't freak out Quinten. You might remember me." Naruto lifted up the hat off his eyes much to the bartender's surprise. "It's you. Why you wearing woman clothes?"

"I'm wanted remember." Quinten had a face of realisation "Well then if you are wanted why are you back in town? I mean sure Alden told the entire town about your innocence and believe me, Alden is a good friend of mine but the marshal, whoo don't get me started with him."

"Well I'm looking to helping Sheriff Martin with his problem, but don't worry I'm working on a way to clear my name, the only problem is that I'm going to need some help, so have you seen those two guys that made fun of me when I first walked into your saloon?"

Quinten thought for a moment remembering who the blond was talking about. "Oh you mean. Jeff and Matthew. Well your lucky they actually work as hired guns not only that here they come in." Naruto turned around to see the two men walk through the doors of the saloon.

"Jeff, Matthew. Come here real quick." Quinten asked the two men to approach as they did so. "What is it?" Jeff asked "Well fellas, I found you two a job, remember the blond here." Quinten pointed at Naruto

When the two looked at Naruto they were shocked to see him. "What in the hell? What are you doing here? If someone finds out we broke you out...we'll get hanged." Jeff whispered to Naruto "Well look I'm gonna need your help."

"Help in what?"

"I got some work for you guys if you're up to it."

"Hell no. I refuse we still got some money left from that fifty dollars we got in your job." Matthew added "Come on fellas don't be like this. He needs your help." Quinten stated as he stopped cleaning some glasses, putting his cloth aside he looked at Jeff. "Jeff what would your momma say if you let an innocent soul, swing?"

"You ain't sure if he's innocent, Quinten."

"Well Alden said he is and you know Alden he speaks nothing but the truth."

Jeff just kept quiet for a moment. "Alright what job is that you got for us?"

Naruto just smirked.


After explaining the jobs to the two men, both of them discussed among themselves if they should take it and they eventually said yes. After Naruto had received his parcel back from Quinten who had luckily kept the object safe for the blond, after he went back to change into his clothes. The trio rode south-west to the north region of New Austin as they were going to meet up with the sheriff from Blackwater.


If The Hat Fits...


Sheriff Martin was sitting under a tree as the sun had already set, he had been searching for an escaped prisoner the whole day and he couldn't find him which was very stressing for the man. Poking on the lit fire he had made he just sighed as he spoke.

"You're an imbecile." he pointed out to his deputy who was leaning against the trunk of the tree as he sat down holding a cup of coffee. "A what?" he asked. "An idiot." Sheriff Martin projected his voice. When his deputy heard this he looked down. "I'm sorry. He said he wouldn't run away." he tried to justify his mistake but the sheriff wasn't buying it.

"Shut up." he shouted as he turned to the man. "But..."

"Please!"

"But..."

"Just shut up!" with that his deputy stayed quiet as Sheriff Martin just sighed, staring back at the fire he just put the stick in the fire. "They're gonna fire me." he begn as he turned back to his deputy. "Oh you, you'll get to keep your job but they'll fire me and they've got every right to fire me because I'm the idiot who employed you!" he shouted as he stood up to look back at his deputy only to see Naruto, Jeff and Matthew approaching.

"Oh look...guests. Who goes there?" Sheriff Martin asked as the trio arrived in front of the fire, the three put their hands close to the fire as Jeff. "Evening Sheriff, Billy." Jeff greeted Sheriff Martin and his deputy Billy who just waved back.

"Are you a moron, partner? Huh? Are you, to come straight to the law after the fact you're wanted by Sisika over all the states?!" Sheriff Martin asked Naruto with a chuckle as the blond was about to answer but the sheriff spoke up. "Well you can't be any worse than us because this idiot, this idiot right here, did the most idiotic thing a lawman could ever do."

"What did Billy do?" Matthew asked. "You here that Billy, they wanna know what you did and guess what, I'm telling them. This sorry excuse that's my deputy let the most notorious conman in the whole goddamn state walk clean out of his cell clean out, and without a shot fired!"

"Wait he did what? Billy you let a locked up prison run out of a cell scot free?" Jeff asked in disbelief as Billy nodded with shame. "And guess what now I need to come in and clean his mess up or else in about a week, I'll be out of a job!" Sheriff Martin shouted. "All thanks to you being an inbred Billy! Thanks a lot!"

"You're welcome sir." Billy replied as the trio just laughed while Sheriff Martin felt like screaming out loud. "I was being sarcastic you idiot!"

"Oh." Billy replied as Sheriff Martin sighed. "We could help." Naruto chimed in as he caught the sheriff's attention. "You'll help us?"

"Sure, we'll gladly do that." the blond replied. "For a price of course." Jeff added on as Sheriff Martin stayed quiet. "Oh, alright. If you three get him back for us, I'll happily pay you, is that a deal."

"You've got yourself a deal sheriff." Matthew concluded as Sheriff Martin nodded. "Good, now see what I figure is that he's heading on down to Pink Basin, so you three go down the canyon and go get him. Alright?" the three nodded as Sheriff Martin kicked some sand onto the fire taking it out. He then went to mount up on his horse as he continued. "By the time beating, I'll be beating this idiot over here with a stick. Then I'll try and join you on the other side."

The three nodded as the man rid off with his deputy.

Naruto got on Cole as the three traveled to the camp at Pink Basin. It was a pretty short ride through the canyon and when they arrived the team went in guns blazing.

"Ah shit! They tracked us, here they are!" one of the outlaws shouted as the trio was just outside the campsite as they were taking cover behind some rocks. "Gentlemen! We've come under the jurisdiction of Sheriff Martin from Blackwater, he asks that one of you knows that they shouldn't have left jail early so now we ask that you come back with us." Jeff stated out as he looked up from cover. "Screw you!" one of the outlaw shouted as Jeff sighed. "Well that's pretty sad, as I didn't feel like killing today, Matthew?" he turned to his friend as he put his right hand on his holster. "Let's lay it to them." Matthew nodded as he took his Carbine Repeater.

The two got out of cover as they were hailing bullets at the man, Naruto just watched in awe as the men easily mowed down the camp without breaking a sweat. "I'm out of bullets!" Matthew shouted as Jeff threw him some Carbine ammo, as he was busy reloading Jeff, shoot one of the outlaws that was hiding behind a wagon. When Matthew finished the pair continued to mow down the camp, with Naruto the blond watched from outside the camp site and when he saw a man trying to run away the blond spung into action. The man wore a white hat and he seemed to be in a rush to flee, but if it weren't for Naruto throwing a lasso over his head, he would have gotten away, but the blond easily took him down without any trouble.

"Aargh! Puta madre!" the man shouted as Naruto tied him up. "Do you know who I am?" the man asked Naruto who just replied with a big fat no. Carrying him the blond took him to Cole as he stowed him on the back. "Sit tight." the blond told the man as he took out the list Cripps gave him.

Looking up from the list he pointed the things he saw. "Tables?" he looked around the camp and there at what seemed to be the kitchen was a big table that was fit four at least four chairs to be placed around it. "Yes. Chairs?" he looked up but he couldn't find any, only crates. "Tents?" there were an abundant amount of tents which Naruto gladly smiled at. "Food?" there were a couple cans of food lying around the camp. "Medicine?" there wasn't any available. "Metal Bathtub?" there wasn't a tub either. "Ammo?" there were a couple of cartridges for some of the guns.

"So in total I found three of the things I needed, nice." Naruto muttered as just then Jeff spoke up. "We got company!" he shouted as outlaws began running into the canyon.

"We need to get outta here and I mean like right now!" Matthew shouted as a gun battle ensued, Naruto quickly got on his horse, sure he didn't want to leave the goods behind but he needed to finish a job, so after a long battle with the outlaws they were out of the place with their lives still intact.

The outlaw that they took he wanted to make a deal with them but the trio played him as he gave them $50 each only for them to just hit him on the head and take him in, that way they were getting a double payment.

Arriving back to Blackwater the sun had already risen again as the Sheriff was in front of the church. "Oh you boys came back alive huh?"

"Yeah just about." Jeff replied as Sheriff Martin approached them. "So you got him?" Jeff nodded. "Good, real good, put him on my horse there. Here's the money I promised." Naruto got the money from the Sheriff as Matthew put the outlaw on the Sheriff's horse.

"It's nice seeing you buddy." Sheriff Martin jovially told the outlaw. "Come on fellers name your price, I can give you another $50 each if you set me free." he offered as the sheriff looked at the three. "$50 each? He tried to pay you three off?" the trio nodded as the sheriff laughed. "Well he sure didn't think straight. Let me tell you friend these three done conned you, a conman, now ain't that ironic." Sheriff Martin took out his gun as he hit the outlaw with the hilt.

"Oh they always do that as a last resort, now I'll see you three later, bye now."

After that, the trio decided to help the Sheriff in Tumbleweed.
