Short chapter but it's for me to keep the ball rolling and to run with a idea I got awhile back #TMT

Chapter Thirteen

"Last night Naruto Uzumaki was exposed! And yes I finally used his real name because that's how excited I am. My premonition is finally coming true and this will be the downfall of the Low Angeles Lakers. You put so much faith into one person and then he just let's down a entire city."

Skip shook his head at the end of Smith's rant.

"It was just one game."

Smith laughed. "One game! One game in which he had zero field goals! Zero free throws! And guess what? The one thing that people said he could do coming into the league and that's pass! And guess what he had zero assists!"

Skip sighed. "It just seems like he's hit the rookie wall and with all the momentum he was building he hit it hard."

Cari nodded. All rookies go through now it's up to him to see how he breaks through that wall. This is the times where it's great to be a sports fan. When you see your favorite teams and players rough it out through tough times."

Naruto turned his phone off and removed his headphones. He took a few deep breaths to compose himself.

It was the morning after Naruto's game with the Spurs and he was currently in a cab with Shikamaru.

"So where the hell are we going."

Naruto smirked as he looked out the window of the cab.

"Well it may not look like it here in sunny Los Angeles but it's Christmas eve. And your my longest best friend. So in the season of giving and since I have a lot of unused cash right now I'm treating you to one special gift."

"So what is i-"

The words died in his mouth as their car pulled into a parking lot.

"Oh my fucking god!"

Naruto laughed as he got of the car and the normally composed Shikamaru was bouncing in excitement.

"You deadass bro!"

Naruto nodded. "Deadass. You convinced me to do all this shit. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here so now I'm looking out for you."

Shikamaru stared at Naruto in shock.

"Bu...B...But a fucking Lamborghini!"

Naruto laughed. "We got the fucking money now go pick one before I change my mind."

No more words were needed as his agent bolted into the building. Naruto shook his head and followed behind his friend.

"Yo this is dope as fuck!"

Naruto smiled as he looked at the supercars surrounding him.

"I ain't gonna lie this is dope."

Shikamaru looked at a row of cars.

"Which color should I get?"

Naruto shrugged. "Whatever fucking color you want. Yellow, red blue, hazel. And if they don't got it then they better paint it cause I got the cheddar."

The two laughed as they slapped hands multiple times.

"We going all the way up!"

The two browsed through the selection for awhile before Shikamaru hopped in a gallardo.

"Yo bro be honest. How I look?"

"Like a king."

Shikamaru laughed but the two were interrupted by an employee of the dealership.

"Excuse me I'm gonna have to ask you to step out of the car."

Shikamaru looked at the man in confusion.

"Why?"

"Because that is a nearly two thousand dollar car and considering your wearing a t-shirt says that you clearly can't afford this car."

"Yo don't worry about it G I'm paying for the car."

The man turned to Naruto and sneered.

"And your wearing gym shorts. Not really helping the situation."

Naruto looked down at his shorts.

"So I'm supposed to wear a suit to buy a car?"

The man shook his head. "The fact that you even have to ask that question shows that you know nothing. Now unless you can show me that you can afford this car then once again I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

Shikamaru smirked. "Naruto show him the watch."

Naruto smirked as he held out his wrist.

"Boom! Fifteen thousand dollar diamond studded watch."

The man seemed unimpressed as he grabbed Naruto's hand and studied the diamonds.

"Well let me humor you. The car you are currently sitting in is a 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Convertible. It features a 5.2L V-10 engine, rear wheel drive and 19" aluminum wheels. As you can see all the cars in this section are the convertible version of the Gallardo while the one's that side of the wall are the coupe versions. Please tell me you know the difference."

"Do I look stupid."

While Shikamaru was talking to the employee about the car Naruto decided to wander around browsing the selection of supercars. He stopped in front of a silver one and admired it.

"You have good taste sir."

The rookie looked to his side and saw a employee next to him.

"2014 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster. The Aventador is a head-turner. Anyone driving the coupe or convertible versions of the car will attract attention, whether they want to or not-but let's face it, you don't buy an Aventador to fly under the radar. The two-seat cabin is futuristic, feeling and looking more like a jet fighter cockpit than a simple street car. The exterior is almost space-going, with a violent wedge shape that trails edges and sharp points from nose to tail."

Naruto nodded as ran his hand over the car.

"The exotic looks match the performance: a 6.5-liter V-12 engine rated at 691 horsepower sits right behind the occupants. Both Roadster and hardtop models share the same suspension tune, since the open top only has a negligible effect on rigidity of the carbon monocoque chassis. Despite the extensive use of lightweight materials throughout the Aventador, it weighs, at a minimum, about 3,700 pounds. Still, the Aventador is capable of some very athletic feats of acceleration, hitting 60 mph in less than three seconds and speeding on to a top speed of 217 mph."

He opened the door, which went up unlike Shikamaru's Gallardo, and let Naruto take a seat.

"Mated to the big V-12 engine is a new ISR (Independent Shifting Rod) transmission, which is effectively an automated manual transmission, operated automatically by the computer, or by the driver via steering-column-mounted paddle shifters. Shift times are a lightning quick 50 milliseconds, and shift quality can vary depending on the drive mode. Three modes are available: Strada (street), Sport, and Corsa (track). In Strada, the Aventador and Aventador Roadster are geared for very low rates of acceleration; trying to take off quickly or downshift under braking will result in jerky motion as the computer slows down the ISR gearbox's reactions. Sport mode is smooth and quick, and it's the mode we prefer on the street. Corsa turns full-throttle shifts into a full-body experience, but it can grow old quickly if you're not hammering around in search of the last few tenths on track."

He nodded for Naruto to step out and showed him the back of the car.

"Like all Lamborghini's the engine is in the back but with the Roadster your engine is on full display through this back panal. Of course with the back engine the trunk is in the front but sadly doesn't provide much space. The Roadster manages just 10 mpg city, 16 mpg highway, and 12 mpg combined. It's not a green car, whatever color you paint it. Any questions?"

Naruto nodded. "Yeah you said this was a convertible but it doesn't really look like this roof slides back."

"Yes unfortunately it doesn't. The roof is detachable so you have to physically remove it yourself. Anymore questions?"

"Yeah how much this gonna cost me?"

"Well it has a base price of four hundred forty three thousand and eight hundred dollars. But that can go up depending on the modifications you decide to get."

"Modifications?"

"Yes simple things that can be done here in the spot. The type of seat material you prefer little things like that. Everything except paint jobs are done here. That is done at a secure location and then it would take over ten days to get the car."

Naruto shook his head. "Nah I like this color. YO SHIKA! What you think!"

Shikamaru looked over to his best friend and his eyes lit up. He hopped out of his car and ran over to Naruto.

"Bro this one right here!"

Naruto laughed as Shika took a seat in the passengers side while Naruto sat in the driver's seat.

"So which one will you be purchasing today?"

Naruto looked up at the two workers.

"I'm getting both. The Gallardo for my friend here and this bad boy for me."

Both workers looked at him as if he had grown an extra head.

"I don't think you understand how this works"

Naruto smiled. "And I don't think y'all know who I am. In the words of Hov, allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I'm the star point guard for the Low Angeles Lakers."

Hours Later

Mia groaned as she stood in front of the apartment building with everyone. Naruto sent out a cryptic text telling everyone to meet him outside.

"Does anyone know what the Hell we're doing out here."

Everyone shrugged but Davon grabbed everyone's attention.

"No they didn't!"

Everyone gathered around his phone and saw a picture Naruto had posted a picture on all of his social media accounts. The picture was two hands each holding a key fob that had the Lamborghini symbol on it.

"Are they serious?"

The sound of a loud engine caught their attention as a black 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 sped down the street and stopped right in front of them.

Instead of the driver getting out he simply lowered the top down and Shikamaru poked his head out.

"What y'all think!"

Everyone gathered around the car and started admiring it.

"So where's Naruto?"

Shikamaru smirked. "Wait for it."

As if on cue the sound a a engine was heard as a car came zooming down the street. The driver made no attempt to slow down as he neared them. Just before the car smashed into Shikamaru's it turned into the buildings underground parking garage.

Everyone ran into the garage, except Shikamaru who drove into it, and quickly gathered around the 2014 Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster.

"Y'all deadass! Y'all gonna go Lambo shopping and ain't invite the whole squad!"

Naruto laughed as AJ walked around the car taking in everything.

"That's a fact! Where my car at!"

Naruto pulled Mia into a hug.

"I'll buy you a car. Just not a Lambo."

Mia frowned. "Why not."

"Cause your ass gonna crash it. And that goes for all of y'all. I have no problem fronting y'all the cash for any car. Just not a Lambo, Bugatti or any other supercar. Only people who can get one of those from me are Shika, Temari and Ma. The rest of y'all better look for something else."

Everyone nodded knowing he had a point.

"Here tell y'all what I gotta dip to this event for the rest of the night but I want y'all to look at cars y'all interested in getting. Since tomorrow is Christmas I'll give y'all the cash for it."

Everyone quickly ran upstairs to start searching for their future cars.

LAAFB

Naruto smiled as he stood in front of over a few hundred people.

"First off I will like to extend a happy holidays to you from the entire Lakers organization. Each and everyone of you answered the call to action and decided to make a difference. I'm just a guy who picks up a basketball everyday. But you guys have the courage to put that uniform in and do something important with your life so for that I applaud you."

Everyone clapped and Naruto continued.

"I would like to thank all the service members, veterans and family members for joining us today because without your sacrifices I might not even be able to stand here today. So I got my man Swaggy P with me and we just want to hang out with you guys today and have some fun. We got a bunch a stuff that some people spent a lot of time wrapping for you guys so we gonna enjoy the rest of the day, alright."

Everyone cheered and Naruto spent the day taking pictures, signing autographs and serving dinner to those who serve the country.

He also got to ride in a helicopter and then did a interview for NBA TV.

"This is my first time doing something like this and it just makes me feel good. Knowing you can put a smile on so many people's faces is just a great feeling. Not everyone had there family with them today and it just made me feel for them. I spent my while time here talking to as many people as I possibly could. I learned about their jobs and why they joined the military. In turn I encouraged everyone to ask me questions about anything they wanted. I also made sure everyone I talked to walked away with a picture and autograph."

"A lot of people walked up to me today and said thank you for coming and all I could say was thank you for having me."

During a break Nick pulled up a seat next to him.

"Alright so me, Jimmy and Hassan were talking."

Naruto shook his head.

"Y'all better not smell me again."

Nick laughed.

"Nah, at least not yet."

"So what were y'all talking about?"

Nick showed him his phone.

"So check this out, we were online looking up possible matches for you?"

"Matches?"

Nick nodded. "Yeah a girl bro. Since shit ain't work out with Scarlett we wanted to find someone else for you. So first thing we looked at was if she was a fan and surprisingly we found a lot. Do you know how many fans you have?"

"Nah."

"Let me show you."

Naruto shook his head.

"Nah I'm good bro. The next girl I decide to go out with us gonna be because I wanted to go out with her."

"Alright I feel you. But I'm still gonna send you the names any way."

Naruto shook his head. "I'm gonna block your number if you do."

"So what's your plans for tomorrow?"

"Gonna wake everyone up hella early so gifts can get opened and shit. Then we gonna chill as a family before I gotta head to the arena."

"After the game?"

"I got invited to this Christmas party. Me and the squad was gonna pull up."

"Who invited you?"

"Jay Z."

Nick shook his head. "I forgot you were signed to Roc Nation."

"Yeah now that's where imma try and find me a girl to kick it with into the new year."

Nick laughed and the two want back out to serve the food.

And Done!

So I spent a whole two days after the last chapter dropped defending why I changed the pairing. Most of you were willing to listen while some weren't, well guess what? It's my story not yours so I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

Nah I'm just messing with y'all but it took me a month to make one chapter while this only took me a few days and I'm already halfway through the next one. I value all of your input and if you reviewed the last chapter I responded in a PM if I could. If you made a relevant comment I wrote back, so if you just told me who you thought he should be paired with them I left it alone but I wrote down the names. And never fear you will find out the pairing in the next chapter.

Now on to y'all who trolling me about KD leaving. Hop off his dick real talk. I'm a OKC fan but I support his decision to leave now it's time to see my team grow with out him.

Had to get that off my chest. Next chapter coming soon

As always read, follow, favorite and review!

Duces!
