Chapter 3. loan shark.

Naruto was having a very good week after all that has happened last week with fighting Yujiro, Baki and Doppo, this week he spent working in his noodle shop. Too which was booming with client's, most from the underground arena and Doppo's school but hay it was something. So Naruto was making quite a bit of money this week.

Naruto stopped his cooking as he heard someone behind him. "what is it Ichigo, don't tell me something happened again." Naruto said calmly but was obviously very ready to go on the war path.

Ichigo was a mild mannered boy. He had brown hair and tapped up glasses. He was a bit bucked tooth as well. Ichigo for is part sweat dropped at that as he was the one to tell Naruto last time, as the only other person who worked here was katara. "ahh no boss, a mister Hanayama is here wanting to see you."

Naruto looked back at Ichigo as that name is the same one as the head of the group that he got a loan from and the same one he pays every month for using their building for his shop. Naruto then said, "don't worry about it. Ichigo come and take over while I deal with this."

Ichigo nodded and Naruto walked out he then passed by katara working the register. Katara was a very short girl of only 4' 11" she had short black hair in a pixie cut and blue eyes, with freckles. Lastly she had a cut on her cheak from where Yujiro had slapped her. She looked at Naruto and immediately looked back because of her shy nature, which was why Naruto put her at the counter.

Naruto then walked through his packed dining room and seen them, Hanayama was a very tall man with a bow cut and glass. He was wearing a three Peche suit. He also had two other guys around him. All of them had on the same type of clothes as they were in a mob, running gambling bracket's and loan sharking. To which Naruto was banned for the former as he won too much.

As Naruto made his way to the table all the while getting past everyone he then finally made it to the table and says, "hay I heard you wanted to talk to me." Naruto then sat right in front of them with out a care in the world.

The goons all looked at Naruto like he grew a second head. They all then looked at Hanayama for his reaction, but he looked like he didn't care at all. The shorter man that was sitting beside Hanayama begin to speak. "mister Uzumaki, my boss here would like to formally congratulate you on your victory over the ogre, mister Baki and Master Doppo."

Naruto raised a eye brow at that ogre part, but soon choked it up to being Yujiro. Naruto then reply with, "OK, thanks I guess but I know you didn't just pull me out of the kitchen at rush hour just for that... did, you?" Naruto finished that last part with a annoyed voice.

The two looked at each other and the short one said, "no sir we did not. My boss actually came here to challenge you."

Naruto had already figured that part out as Hanayama was a well known street fighter and had more than enough money to be connected to the underdome. But there was still one problem here. "sorry but I'm going to have to refuse the challenge, as I don't fight for just no reason."

one of the goons there open his mouth at hearing that. "well how about we just burn this place to the ground then, after all we already own this place."

said thug then pissed himself from the amount of KI that was coming off of Naruto. And right before his very own eyes he seen Naruto morf into a giant with three faces on his head and six arms growing out of him. He looked around as seen everyone else acting like they didn't see this. He then heard from the monster, "I like to see you try that." every word he heard was blood thirsty. He then ran away screaming about a monster.

Everyone else looked at the screaming man with a look of shock. Hanayama finally said something at this. "what the hell is his problem?" he then looked too Naruto who just shrugged. The street fighter then said. "I apologize for his out burst and we already knew this before coming here. The reward you will get for beating me, is we are willing to sell you this place for very cheap."

Naruto thought about it and in truth sounded like a hell of a deal, as in truth that would mean he would only have his yearly tax to pay then. Well except for the usual cost of running a noodle shop that is. "that sounds good to me, but can we wait till Sunday to do this, as I am extremely busy till then?" Naruto asked as it was the truth, the only days off he has is Sunday and Wednesday. Which in truth Wednesday he used for his erions.

Hanayama did wast no time in agreeing to the term and told Naruto he would has a spot for them to fight that night. Him and his goons then walked out of the shop as Naruto went back to work.

-- outside --

one of Hanayama out right asked his boss once they got in the car, "hay boss if you don't mind me asking, why didn't you challenge that kid right then and there like you usually do to people you want to fight?"

Hanayama looked straight at him and said, "the same reason I'm going to have ren kicked out of the organization and why I said don't say or do anything in there. Naruto uzumaki might just look like a regular guy but he actually is the most powerful thing in the world now. Yujiro had inter army's scared of him because of how powerful he was. Then not even two weeks ago that man in there one Naruto uzumaki, beat him so bad that Yujiro couldn't walk, eat or even wipe his own ass from the beating he receive."

everyone looked at him in complete and Total disbelief. The same man then asked, "so that's why we cleared the debt right boss and are you so sure it's a good idea to fight him if he's that powerful?"

Hanayama just sighed at the constant question's. He then looked the man dead in the eye and says, "no, the real reason we cleared him is because Tokugawa paid it off. Why did he do that? Beats me. Now as for why I challenge him? You wouldn't get it at all, as you are not a grappler. Now, any, other, questions?"

everyone just shut up as they knew all the questions was getting on is nerves and the last thing any one of them wanted to do was to get on the bosses bad side.

-- the underground arena --

Naruto was sitting watching the TV as some guy named Jack was fighting some guy named the fang. Apparently from what he was told by the Butler guy Jack was baki's older half brother and the other guy was from another underground Fighting committee.

Naruto then heard a knock on the doorvto which Naruto yelled out, "come on in!" then the door open to show it was Tokugawa was the one knocking. As seeing the elderly owner Naruto straighten up.

"ahh Naruto my boy it good to see you again!" Tokugawa said with a smile, but Naruto could smell the bullshit that was rolling off of him and Naruto couldn't quite blame the old man either, after all everytime he's fought here something always get broke.

The former ninja cleared his throat and said, "hay while I can't say it's not a pleasure seeing you gramps, but why are you back here and not up there watching the fight." after saying Naruto picker up his water and started to take a drank.

Tokugawa just looked at him and said, "what you're not glad to see the man who paid off your debits for you?" he then smirked and seeing water shooting out of Naruto's nose. Naruto looked at him a hundred percent dumbfounded by this and Tokugawa explain, "you see Naruto the resin I did that is because I want you to fight here or be my bodyguard when ever I need you to. of course I will pay you well for your time."

this was unreal and in truth if this was a few years ago Naruto would have jumped on it no questions asked. Now though he had a business and employees to take care of now, especially considering both of them live above the shop with him.

Naruto looked at Tokugawa after he blew out his nose and said, "while I appreciate the help, and I truly do... I can't just shut everything down and come work for you."

Tokugawa gave Naruto a blank stare as he apparently didn't fully lesson to him. "ok let me try this again, I, want, you, to, fight, here, ever, other, week, and, save, my, ass, when, I, need, you, too, ok, nincompoop! I don't want you to quit you damn job, I just need some help!!!"

Naruto was taken aback by this as he's been called many things before but never that. Naruto then said, "fine I will, but the fight will always have to be on Sunday and your life better be in danger when you call on me."

they both then heard a bell. They looked at the TV and apparently Jack bit the dudes face clear off. Naruto was actually thinking, 'WTF!' and the shorter of the two was thinking, 'yeah, that's about what I thought was going to happen.' with a deadpan look.

Naruto then got up and told Tokugawa, "well I guess we better get going, as I have a match too fight and you have one too watch." and with that they both left the locker room, but unbenonce to the two there was another man hiding in the ceiling lessening in on them.

-- the ring --

Naruto just came out of the tunnel and what he seen shocked him to his core. Right across from him was basically a butt ass naked Hanayama. The only thing he had on was a raping holding his junk. At that moment Naruto thought, "WHAT, THE, FUCK!!!!? is it too late for me to call this shit off!?'

Hanayama got in to his usual fighting stance, while Naruto was too far gone to do anything right now but to stare at the giant like he was stupid. Thankfully Naruto snapped out of it as he heard the rules started to be said and got ready for the fight.

As the bell ringed Naruto for once let his opponent go first and his stance was wide open. Too bad Hanayama didn't get the memo and stood still up in tell Naruto had to put right say it. "pss I'm letting you make the first move. So,GET A MOVE ON ALREADY!!!"

as Naruto was yelling Hanayama moved in and swung as hard as he could, and in truth Naruto might have felt it, if it wasn't for the fact Naruto even holding back was way faster then him. As Naruto doge the punch he thought, 'it looks like he's all strength and not really anything else. His punch is slow and sloppy, almost as bad as I was as a kid.'

seeing Naruto so easily dodge his punch actually pissed him off a little as he started to let loose one punch after another at the former ninja. Naruto just keep dodging them again and again. Until Naruto grabbed Hanayama's wrist and throw him across the ring.

As Hanayama was getting back up he heard Naruto say, "Hanayama I hate to tell you this but you really need to work on your form and speed a lot. Who ever you have as your trainer you should fire them."

Hanayama got back into his stance as he told Naruto, "I don't have one or a master, nore do I train. The only practice I need is the fights in the streets."

Naruto was now completely in disbelief over what he just heard. "do what now!? That has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my entire life and that's saying something as I have said and done some truly stupid shit before!"

Hanayama was going to snap back at that but he then seen Naruto get into his toad stance. Then just like that Naruto was on him with a punch. Hanayama wanting to play who's the toughest decided to deliver a punch of his own. This wasn't a bad idea no, it was a stupid one as when their first collided it did hurt Naruto a little but it broke Hanayama's hand.

Hanayama screamed from the pain but sent his other hand at Naruto, which the former ninja did the same and ended the exact same way. Hanayama then try a a kick to the blondes head, which Naruto grabbed and then kicked out the other leg, making Hanayama do a full split but thankfully he was very lember. Naruto then throw him up in to the air. What came next was Naruto's Naruto berage. Which ended with Naruto stomping Hanayama's head into the ground.

It was quite clear to everyone that this match was well over and Hanayama agreed as he was now knocked out. As such Naruto was declared the winner and Naruto made sure he didn't just accidently killed a mob boss.

But as everyone was paying attention to the ring no one noticed several people sneak out with smirks as they seen enough to form a plan to beat this now king.
