Okay, normally I planned on this chapter being released with other projects or chapters of different fics for a big-ass release but that isn't possible now given I missed the deadline. For I have planned and writing now 2 new projects that I am working on and am working on 2 updates of my current fics, just want to release this before the month ends.

So here is the next chapter, Naruto finally back working on one of his other jobs, I hope you all will like it and please leave a comment/review down below once finished reading it.

Enjoy.

Even K'dushah Synagogue

Sitting in the now empty place of worship in South Slopes, Onoki was in his black suit and hat waiting for some people to arrive, for a meeting he had initiated for the night now as he was now watching an episode of Boner, the old grumpy man was nearly finished with his binge watching-

*Knock!-Knock!-Knock!*

The front door of the synagogue was being knocked on as both of Onoki's bodyguards, men in their late 30's held their hands over their hips and took a look through the hole to see who it was, with the bald man yelling out.

"Boss - it's them!"

Onoki grunted, he turned the television off and grabbed his cane before standing up turning to his men, and walking over.

"These idiots never take the right moment - open the doors."

Both of Onoki's men did open both big doors and it took a moment before five men walked in. All of them were Russians including Dimitri Rascalov and the recently arrived Ray Bulgarin, with the two others being Dimitri's security and the bald tracksuit-wearing man being Bulgarin's, he was eyeing the Jewish man's security with a dirty look as he observed the synagogue.

The two Russian Mobsters looked down to see the small grumpy old man as he approached them, leaning on his cane, he addressed the two.

"Rascalov…Bulgarin…"

"Onoki Gorbaty…The Little Jew of South Slopes." Bulgarin spoke upon eyeing the guy, he laughed, "I imagined a man like you would be a midget."

"And I expected someone like you to be more competent." Onoki replied, mentioning, "I heard you got a little problem with your muscle, that they all disappeared in East Hook."

"You watch your mouth, dirty little-"

"Enough, Ray, let me handle this." Dimitri interrupted his friend, turning to the little man, the glass-wearing snake spoke and pointed his finger, "Mr. Gorbaty, you've stepped out of line."

"Says you, Rascalov. With what you've done to Faustin." Onoki responded with little respect to the Russian, "I know everything that happened in that club, how you stabbed your friend in the back by forcing those boys to kill him for you and tried to double-cross them."

"Niko Bellic has a great debt, to me!" Bulgarin shouted out of unbridled rage, "He lost me a big shipment and refused to pay it all back!"

"Don't raise your tone to me, boy!" Onoki returned with a cheeky smile, "And yet you cannot even kill a simple Serb, that speaks volumes."

"Let us keep it civil, shall we?" Dimitri said, still glaring at the owner of the Synagogue, "We know for a fact you've been helping them-"

"I've been helping the boyfriend of my granddaughter, you moron, the one you both tried to kill!" Onoki said to the snake, "You nearly killed him in that firebombing of his home."

"And he killed two of my men, Alonso Goralski."

"Who tried to kill him and even caused a shootout at the East Borough Bridge with the cops!" Onoki reminded them and pointed his cane, "You damn Russians are causing more heat for everyone, and you're so lucky no police were killed, or else-"

Bulgaring cut off, "Or else what?"

"Or else us, Ivan."

The new voice that caused the Russian and Jewish men to turn their heads, came from the Synagogue entrance where they saw a trio of men in well-dressed outfits enter the house of worship with their entourage behind them, these three guys immediately recognized by Dimitri.

"The Commission…"

They weren't just Italian gangsters, they were part of Liberty City's Five Old Families, the Commission, and they were the biggest heavyweights in this city's underworld, and the fact they were here - says something. There were three of them, all of whom were men with long sheets and history.

First was Sammy Bottino standing in his black suit with expensive shoes as he was in his 40s. He was a Made Man of the Gambetti Crime Family and was one who had dirty hands from hijacking and racketeering to an unsolved murder down south in Vice City. He was here on behalf of the Underboss Roy Zito and the now ill Jon Gravelli.

Secondly standing the 60-year-old Harry Hall was wearing a brown suit, an Irish and Italian mixed man who despite his background was the Messina Family's Consigliere who had made his way through the ranks by having big prostitution and narcotic rings, and the fierce reputation he earned by defending those enterprises.

And lastly, there stood the elderly man who was 79 years old, with grey hair and a mustache while he also wore a fold cap hat with dark shaded sunglasses a golf shirt, and long pants and sports shoes, he looked like a normal grandfather, he was the former Don of the family that bore his name - this was Vincent Lupisella.

"Onoki, you old bastard. It's been a while," Vincent spoke smilingly at the small elderly man he walked over with, before turning to the Russians and, "So these are the Ruskies causing trouble?"

"Trouble?" Bulgarin glared at him, "What trouble?"

"Trouble as in your little power vacuum in Hove Beach, Ivan." Sammy spoke, glaring at the Russian mobster and his bodyguard, "We've been keeping tabs on you and your friends for a while now and we're not exactly happy to see the current state."

"What are you trying to say…" Bulgarin's bodyguard asked, his name was Timur and he was Bulgarin's second-in-command, as he showed no fear, "Explain?"

"That you're turning South Broker into your little fiefdom, that's why we're not happy, Ivan." Harry Hall spoke with a clear glare, he did not like these Russians for one bit. "I don't know if you Ruskies learned about manners but I'd take a step back if I were you."

Timur being told to back off by the Messina's Consigliere got some of the bodyguards to hold their hands over their waists, with Onoki's men keeping a closer eye on the bald Russian prick hitman. Harry's people were already seen glaring daggers at the Russians and were ready to intervene.

But Timur took a step back and backed off from the confrontation, prompting the others to ease down a notch, but the tension was still there as Vincent turned to Dimitri.

"Rascalov…"

"Mr. Lupisella," Dimitri spoke in a needed form of respect, he tried, "This is a matter that has nothing to do with you-"

"I beg your pardon son, but this has everything to do with me, particularly when it comes to my friends." Vincent said turning briefly to Onoki, "Mr. Gorbaty is a personal friend of mine with whom I've worked for years now, to the point my grandchildren are close to his granddaughter, and the fact you've come here in numbers to demand something? That I find quite insulting."

Harry and Sammy nodded in agreement as they were acquaintances or even friends with the Fence Sitter, whom they had known for much of their lives.

"As little my time with Mr. Faustin was, he still knew his limits to what he should do, even when he ordered that bombing in Chase Point. But you-" Vincent pointed his finger at Rascalov, "You've decided to hire the same hitmen that you tried to kill, to murder your friend. Gaining yourself some power over your little community…"

"Mr. Lupisella-"

"I'm not done talking, let me get straight to the point," Vincent continued with a hand gesture to Dimitri and Bulgarin, "Your little war with Mr. Bellic and Uzumaki, it ends now. End of story."

"But-"

"No buts, Mr. Bulgarin, this ends here, now." Vincent clarified, "If not, we will make sure that whatever business you're attempting in Liberty City will be made very difficult by us. And that's no empty threat."

Bulgarin glared, "And what if we say no?"

"You can try whatever idea is in your head now, son." Harry said to him, "But know that even if you attempt to take us all out now, our permanent chasers of the FIB will be hearing those shots from down the street." The Messina man said, referring to the constant tailing of the Feds that every high-ranked mafioso had, "So think wisely and drop this nonsense."

Left in a difficult spot, only Dimitri was thinking straight now as he knew the Commission wasn't playing around if a Consigliere and former Don were bringing them this news, they'd financially cripple them if they ignored this offer. So he turned to Mr. Lupisella and Onoki who stood there waiting for his answer.

"Okay, we'll back off now."

"Good, and let it be final." Onoki said before pointing out, "Now get off my property."

The Russians took their leave with only them giving glares to the gangsters and their bodyguards, walking into the night with the Commission men, Onoki's, and even Sammy personally escorting them out before closing the doors behind them, leaving the Fence Sitter, the Messina Consigliere and the former Lupisella Don.

"Hehehehe, it's good to see you again, Onoki, you old bastard." Laughed Vincent as he extended his hand out to the little man, "We could hear you screaming from outside, you've still got it."

"Glad to see you too, Vincent," Onoki laughed and shook his hand. "How are you doing? I didn't expect you to be here to be honest, given you retired."

"I am, but I keep an eye on things in my free time, you know my nephew Mark." Vincent said firmly shaking his long-time friend's hand and having an honest word, "He may be my blood and I love him to death, but God help us, but his low IQ is still an obstacle to keeping the business stable."

Referring to Mark 'Loopy' Lupisella, the head of the Lupisella Crime Family, who despite being the Don now, was not the most stable leader the crime syndicate could rely on, so things were still semi-run by the elderly uncle and gold enthusiast Vincent who still had good cred on the street.

"Family is family, you got to deal with it one way or another," Harry said while chuckling, "How's your family doing these days, Onoki? Heard your granddaughter is back?"

"Still as rebellious as always!" Onoki spared no words, "She just finished her service in Israel, but she still is as badmouthing, disrespectful, and full of herself but has yet to bring a proper husband!"

"As always, you old bat." Vincent said asking, "She's seeing some blond kid, right? Naruto Uzumaki?"

"Yes, Minato's oldest kid. That's him."

"Minato…now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time," Harry said, having some memories of his own, "I remember that kid, used to ride bikes from Alderney back in the 90's and so."

"I see you guys still remember that Namikaze kid." Onoki said to his younger friends, "Guess you heard the rumors also?"

"That he got clipped by one of his own? Yeah, and without a vote supposedly," Harry expressed from his sources about what happened to the blond biker who was killed in Japan, "I don't know how Ray's going to handle that mess when it becomes public, but I don't see the conspirators survive this."

"Cannot imagine what his son will do if he found out his father's killers are in the same town as him," Vincent spoke with then the follow-up question, "Where is he anyway?"

"I don't know, perhaps trying to screw my granddaughter."

"ACHOO!"

"Bless you."

Naruto got a napkin handed over to him by a feminine hand as he stood in the middle of the dressing room which was also the surveillance room, with him standing next to a sitting Jodi, having just started his first shift in a long time in Maisonette 9.

Dressed in the black suit outfit standard for club security, Naruto lastly placed an earpiece for comms with Joni when she needed to tell him what she could see from the cameras.

"Thanks," Naruto said while whipping his nose clean, "Cannot get sick before my first shift."

"Well, you better not be, it's been getting hectic lately here." Joni said, informing the blond, "Aside from the normal shenanigans, we've been busy more throwing out people with bags inside their pockets than inside someone else's."

"As in?" Naruto asks her while putting the earpiece on properly, "Throwing out dealers isn't exactly new."

"Look at this." Joni said, turning to the surveillance cameras and pressing play, "This is from last week."

Naruto paid attention while standing next to Joni, watching as footage played in the men's bathroom.

There two men were seen on the tape, one was a well-dressed man who looked like a regular clubber, but the other was a roughly dressed man who was wearing a black jacket and a black cap with fitted pants, seen counting the money of the customer. Then, as expected two security guards walked in, a black and a caucasian male who spotted the two doing the illegal transaction, and the two began approaching them.

There was no audio but the confrontation turned verbal with the dealer being pushed against the wall by the black security guard, without resisting the dealer was being escorted out, while the white guy was handling the customer - who stood there numb and stared at the guard.

He then threw hands at the guard and caught the man by surprise, the clubber was thrown against the bathroom stall and was screaming for help, the two continued to fight until two more guards ran inside and helped restrain the clubber, escorting him out of the bathroom with the white guard seen bleeding from the head and nose, having just taken a vicious beating.

"Nathan's face got messed up but he also took a hit to the balls." Joni said, stopping the tape, "That's not all, the guy who attacked was a fiend and tried fighting his way out when the cops came to pick them up. Putting two more people on medical leave."

Naruto shook his head at the footage, "That's why I am called in today?"

"That and Luis needs a few days off," Tony insisted, Joni said firmly as she briefed him. "Just be cautious if you see transactions like this, okay?"

Naruto nodded confidently and was ready as he went for the door. Opening it, Naruto then stopped before he turned his head to the head of surveillance and asked a question that popped up in his head.

"Joni, what drugs did you find on the dealer?"

"Some new product that came from the Heights, I don't know," Joni said, looking at the camera footage. "It's got a stupid name."

"What's the name?"

"SPANK, I believe? But I wouldn't touch that stuff, it's bad - like really bad," Joni warned him. "I heard two overdoses happened just down the block with a third guy trying to destroy a cop car. It's some heavy stuff."

Naruto took the advice and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him - starting his shift.

With the music in full swing and the dance floor packed, Maisonette 9 was having another one of those nights that needed observing by those bouncers, with Naruto being there.

With his arms crossed the blond young man observed the partygoers with nothing going on now as everyone was just having a good time by either drinking, socializing with new people, or dancing on the dance floor showing off their moves.

On the dance floor, he noticed three women. Two of them were trying to persuade the third to join them, but she seemed hesitant. What caught his attention was their dyed hair – the tallest woman of the three had long crimson-red hair, while the shy, yet composed girl had bright blue hair with a hint of green.

Seeing there was no real problem Naruto proceeded to look around from where he stood, with clubbers walking past him, some drunk but not causing any trouble, he failed to notice some of the women were eyeing him, of course, he stood out from the rest of security for being the youngest looking and with his bright sunny blond hair and his face marks, it was to be expected some of the ladies would be eyeing him, but he had a job to do now.

"Naruto, you got to take over from Mike on the VIP floor."

"Alright, I'm on my way," Naruto responded to Joni through the earpiece, making his leave from the dance floor to the VIP lounge, needing to bypass the bar where the bartenders waved him off before he walked up the stairs.

Once reaching up there he was met with a lot of the VIPs who were seen partying, with Naruto spotting where one of the bouncers, Mike, approached him before bumping his fist.

"I'll take it over from here, M."

"Thanks."

"NARUTO!"

The person who shouted his name caught both his and the bouncer's attention and she was sitting on the sofas with three other women, it was Kurotsuchi and his sister Narumi spotted there sitting with two other women.

After the bouncer walked off to take his break, Naruto made his way over to the table where Kurotsuchi and his sister were seated. As he approached, he couldn't help but notice the striking outfits they were wearing. Kurotsuchi was in a stunning red dress that featured a bold open design on the front-right side, revealing her curves in a captivating way. The dress showcased her right leg and was paired with fishnet leggings that added an edgy touch to her ensemble. She completed her look with dark red and white sneakers, exuding a confident and stylish vibe.

Narumi, on the other hand, surprised Naruto by wearing a sleek black dress that highlighted her figure. The dress, adorned with hints of orange, accentuated her bust, while she opted for long leggings and sleek black heel boots to complete her ensemble.

As Naruto glanced at the two other ladies at the table, both brunettes, he noted that they were dressed in more conventional attire, which didn't capture his attention as much as the striking outfits of Kurotsuchi and Narumi did. Nonetheless, he recognized them and acknowledged their presence.

"Hello, ladies."

"Oh my God, Kuro honey, you didn't tell me youse dating him." The brunette with the black jacket said holding a glass and laughing, the Alderney-born, light-skinned Italian-American young lady was Antonia Bottino. "Naruto, it's been a while!"

"Hey Antonia," Naruto said politely, turning to the other lady, "Dani, good to see you too."

The other young brunette lady around Antonia's age, her full name was Dani Lupisella, who like her fellow Italian-American, was not only a close childhood friend of Kurotsuchi but also a mob-connected daughter of a Commission gangster - Mark Lupisella the leader of the Lupisella Crime Family.

"Hey Naruto," Dani said calmly, being friendly with him, she asked, "You seen Luis lately?"

"Just today, but not long enough, sorry." Naruto said to her in an unapologetic tone with humor, "He has his day off and he still remembers it."

"Jesus, you scared the shit out of him!" Antonia laughed at Dani and slapped her shoulder, "Ever since you threatened him you got him to avoid us."

Dani chuckled at that one time she threatened Luis and took a sip from her glass of champagne, rolling her eyes with a slew smile.

Naruto turned to his sister and asked, "Narumi, you doing alright?"

"Of course, I'm doing great." Smiling back, Narumi responded happily to her brother, "But I think you need to focus on someone else-"

"Come here!"

Naruto found himself being pulled into a deep kiss by Kurotsuchi, who grabbed the collar of his shirt. This caused a few cheers from the two Alderney girls and a laugh from Narumi, who saw Naruto's surprised expression.

Antonia cheered, "Get him, tiger!"

"Kurotsuchi, catching no strays!" Dani raised her glass and encouraged her friend, "Keep him on a leash!"

They broke the kiss from there with Kurotsuchi smiling at his stunned face before he could finally talk.

"I-I'll speak to you all later." Naruto said as he went back to his place, "Got a shift to work on."

The four girls said at the same time. "Later!"

(A full hour later)

As the night continued, Naruto diligently fulfilled his duties as a bouncer in the bustling nightclub. He skillfully navigated the crowd, smoothly escorting guests and promptly removing disruptive individuals. With a keen eye for maintaining order, he handled each situation with care and precision. For example, he had removed an overly drunk young woman who had thrown up violently all over the bar, even hitting a few of the bartenders all over their clothing, she was helped by Naruto and Cindy who were under the puke, both tried to help the not well girl outside with some water and medication being given, even accompanying the poor girl outside until her lift had arrived.

That was part of the job of course to help those who were not being problematic, the bouncer's job was to remove the uncooperative ones like how Naruto had to forcefully remove them, often with just a threat or an armlock.

"OUT!"

This time however Naruto was forced to take more drastic measures by grabbing a VIP man by the crotch and throwing him out to the street after he was caught trying to beat a girl on the dancefloor, alongside a few other bouncers was kicking out a rowdy blond man in a red suit and white t-shirt who was thrown down the street, with some of the guests and clubbers outside watching the first man with blond hair man holding his crotch that was finally released from the painful hand.

"My balls!" The man roared in pain, "My fucking balls!"

"And don't let me see you here again, tough guy!" Naruto told him while pointing his finger at the man, he was about to enter back in the club, "You've been warned!"

"Don't you know who I am!?" The blond man yelled in anger, standing up and threatening, "I know people in high places! You're done, pal!"

Naruto stopped and faced the thrown-out moron, hearing his threats, he was joined by Dessie and the other bouncers, watching the red-suited man clean himself up from the ground as he began to explain in a less explosive one.

"I was with my fiancé inside, she wouldn't listen to me when I told her we were leaving but the stupid bitch wouldn't listen!" The prick spoke as he pointed inside, "I want her out here now!"

"I don't know if you've noticed it, pal, but she's got no obligation to listen to you." Dessie said coming in and standing taller than the blond red-suited man, "You on the other hand should leave the premises now before we call the cops."

The man sneered and glared at the dark-skinned man, he wasn't finished.

"She better listen to her man-"

"Oh, I've seen how you treat women, punk. It's all on camera, stored in our CCTV footage as of now." Dessie said leaning in and more stern in his words, warning, "So now on I give you a final warning - leave this place or else."

"Or else what?"

"Us." Naruto said coming in between and just a few inches off from the rich guy whose breath he could smell was reeking of liquor, "So get the fuck out, now."

The well-dressed gentleman shot a menacing look in Naruto's direction before realizing that he was being surrounded by additional Maisonette 9 bouncers, including Dessie. All of these men stood by, observing closely and seemingly ready to intervene at the slightest provocation.

Giving one last look to the fellow blond, the man gave him a glare and a mental image he would keep on his mind of the person who got in his private affairs.

"What's your name?"

"None of your business, Teme,"

"Phenex, that's the name you will remember." The man said walking back and pointing his finger, "Phenex, Remember!"

The now-named Phenex just walked off wobbling in his drunken state as he went down the road, with the bouncers keeping an eye on him until he disappeared into the night. Naruto and Dessie kept on watch as the others made sure to keep the crowds outside calm and steady.

"Think he was bluffing?"

"Has to be, I've been dealing with rich assholes for years now." Dessie said, not taking this seriously he scoffed before noticing something when looking down Naruto's arms, "Hey, your hand."

Naruto glanced at his right hand and saw it was bruised up with his knuckles slightly open with some minuscule amount of blood coming out of it, most likely he got it from his interaction with the troublemaker.

"It's nothing, just need some ice."

"Go to Cindy, she'll give you some."

…

"Here's some ice."

At the counter, Naruto was given a cold pack by Cindy, with her holding it over his hand, causing him to bite his teeth a bit.

"You okay?"

"I'm fine, just ugh…" Naruto said as he saw the swelling around his hand, "Bastard pulled out a fork from out of nowhere and tried to stab me."

"Well now he's walking around with a nearly crushed pelvis," Cindy chuckled, "He won't be here for some time."

"As he shouldn't"

The blond bouncer and the Asian waitress/bartender turned to the other end of the bar after hearing a slurred voice respond to their conversation, it happened to be a woman.

The woman standing before us was no ordinary individual; she was the supposed fiancé of the man who had just been kicked out. She exuded a captivating allure that could draw the attention of both men and women alike. Her long, flowing crimson-red hair framed her face, and she wore a long raincoat over a stunning red dress. As she gazed into her nearly empty wine glass, her words slurred, indicating that she may have imbibed a bit too much. Despite this, her eyes betrayed a deep sense of melancholy.

Naruto sees she isn't around with her friends and asks. "Your friends gone?"

"N-No…they're just in the bathroom, that's all." The girl said holding her one free hand over the left side of her face as she looked into her glass, she still thanked, "I saw you taken care of my fiancé…thank you for that."

"No problem…" Naruto replied as he walked over to her side, noticing that she was tired of covering up the left side of her face, "That fiancé of yours went too far…"

"Ex-fiancé…for three months now." The redhead said, tired of the ordeal, straightening her words out, she continued, "I thought if I moved to Liberty City with my friends away from him, he'd get the message."

"And the result?" Naruto asked her.

The woman didn't respond right away. Instead, she slowly turned her entire face toward Naruto, revealing her gorgeous blue eyes. However, one of her eyes was marred by painful bruises, a visible reminder of the harm inflicted upon her by the man. The bruises on her face told the full story of the violence she had endured.

"Message not received." She bluntly replied while leaning her head on the counter, asking lazily, "You get it now?"

Naruto's reaction was narrowing his eyes at hers and shaking his head, prompting the crimson girl to give him a confused look.

But before she could ask him why he was looking at her like that, Naruto raised his hands and placed his cold pack over her left face, a gesture she responded by placing her own soft hands that she placed over his, before gliding them over to the cold pack and holding it by her own, accepting the offer.

"...Thank you," She said with a small, genuine smile as she pressed the pack over her eye, "I appreciate it."

"You're welcome, miss…"

"Call me Rias, leave the miss." The newly introduced Rias said smiling, "It's nice meeting you, Uzumaki Naruto."

Naruto looked partly surprised, "How do you know my name?"

"Rias."

The conversation got interrupted when the two turned to the hallway, seeing the other two women of the redhead wearing their raincoats, spotting her, the raven-haired woman approached her by the side.

"Let's go, the taxi is waiting for us outside to take us to the hotel," The raven-haired girl said putting her hands around Rias' shoulders, "Coast is clear, so let's go now."

"Right…" Rias agreed, turning from her friend to the bouncer, and smiled, "Thank you."

Naruto returned the smile, "You take care."

The two ladies walked off with the third waiting for them before the trio walked to the exit door, for Naruto to watch them leave, he was soon rejoined by the waitress Cindy who had a stunned look on her face.

"What's wrong?"

"You're not going to believe who you helped," Cindy said, "That was Rias Gremory-"

"Naruto."

"Sorry C, gotta pick this up." Naruto said as he responded to the earpiece to Dessie, "Yes Dessie, say it."

"We got an emergency, PG Jackson is trapped."

"Understood, at Hercules, right?" Naruto said, knowing the situation, "Paparazzi got him at Hercules?"

"Still sharp as ever, good to know. And yes he's stuck with his boyfriend." Dessie informed him, "Mind picking them up and dropping them off at a secured place? He's freaking out right now."

"No problem, on my way." Naruto finished the conversation with the doorman, turning to his colleague waitress and apologizing, "Sorry Cindy, gotta role to Hercules, its-"

"PG Jackson again?" Cindy asked amusingly, rolling her eyes, "He got stuck again?"

"Yeah, the press spotted him at the club and he's hiding." Naruto said rubbing his neck, "You know for a former gangbanger turned rapper, he doesn't like the attention of that at all."

"Honestly, I don't get why he's hiding it. I mean, it's Liberty City." Cindy spoke from experience, the waitress and bartender was openly bisexual and was a pretty confident person to work with, "He's pretty much open about coming from the streets but not so when coming out of a gay club?"

"I don't know, some people are still embarrassed by it, rather stay in the closet," Naruto said leaning his arms on the counter, "Either out of shame or safety, I've seen people react badly when finding out about their loved ones being secretly not straight."

"Like overseas?"

Naruto paused for a moment, reflecting on the question. Memories from the past came flooding back to him, reminding him that in certain parts of the world, such relationships were strongly frowned upon and could even lead to deadly consequences. In regions spanning from the Middle East to Asia and Africa, many individuals still considered such relationships to be disgraceful at the very least, and downright wicked at worst.

"Yeah… it is not a pretty sight, to be honest, even saw siblings turning on one another over it," Naruto said recalling one incident he witnessed he'd rather not go into detail about, "Honestly it's heartbreaking to watch."

"What if it was your sister?" Cindy asked out of nowhere, "How would you react?"

"...She's my sister, I couldn't care less about it." Naruto replied to the question and was straightforward about it to her, "As long she's happy, I'm happy."

"Naruto, you gotta go."

"On my way," Naruto responded to Dessie's warning, nodded along, and told the waitress, "I'll speak to you later."

"Sure honey,"

Naruto left the counter walked to the stairs and went out of the club, not knowing that from the railings, Narumi had been watching from above in her intoxicated state and could only partly understand what was said - hearing 'my sister' and ' she's happy, I'm happy' and all. Unable to react properly, her tipsy head fell back into the seat and fell asleep.

Hercules

After the small drive with the company vehicle, Naruto arrived at the club and locked the door as he walked up to the front and saw Troy waiting for him.

"N."

"Troy." Naruto shook hands with the bouncer of the gay club, and asked right away, "Tell me, where's PG?"

"He's in the back as you can figure," Troy spoke pointing out at the alley where a few paparazzi men were seen taking pictures from a distance, surrounding a black PMP 600 expensive luxury sedan with black tainted windows that were giving the occupants some privacy away from the flashes of the cameras.

"Alright, I'll work on it." Naruto tapped his shoulder and walked to the alley, "Keys?"

"Inside the car, they're waiting for you," Troy told him as he did not move from his spot, "Majestic Hotel, that's where they need to go."

Hearing all of that information Naruto ran past the paparazzi and ignored the flashes as he walked up to the luxury sedan's driver's seat, hearing some of them asking questions.

"PG, let us take a picture!"

"Why are you here?!"

"Number One worst actor of America!"

Naruto got inside the car and closed it fast, seeing both men in the backseat in suits, the black man with a short haircut holding his hands over his head, and the white guy covering him with his jacket.

"Naruto, is that you?"

"Hey Jacob, it's your lucky day," Naruto said with a grin as he turned the keys to the ignition, the engine roaring to life. "Because we're heading out right now."

Roaring the engine, the car scared off some of the paparazzi and it was the perfect moment for Naruto to drive through the gap and cause the photographers to get out of the way, one man was forced to drop his camera and got driven over by the car, destroying the camera.

"Fascist!"

The car sped out of the alley with Naruto driving past the nightclub and maneuvered his way out the street like how he had done numerous times before, with it only taking a few seconds before the paparazzi began hot-tailing him with a few bikes.

East Holland

While on the other side of the Heights' the police were busy with the crime scene of a gang shootout, the perpetrators were coming out of a building in Uranium Street, out of a Check Cashing store, three men, all Little Clarence's people, they were dealers who were laughing at what they were holding, a package.

"We gonna make bank tonight, man." The first guy in the expensive yellow coat with a beanie and baggy pants said, turning to his friend with the cameo clothing and cap backward, and the third, the fat man with a big white t-shirt and open black jacket.

They all started to cross Uranium Street to start their shift, not knowing that a parked car, a brown muscle Manana with a closed hood, two passengers were eyeing the three young men.

"Vámonos."

The Spanish command alone got the car and began to move from its parking spot as it slowly pulled up to the curb where the three young men were stopping at a hot dog stand, the three asked for some food before they started their hustle on the corner.

The Manana pulled up behind the three men, and a passenger pulled out a pistol, aiming it at their backs while they were oblivious to their surroundings.

*BANG!*

After a lengthy chase, Naruto had finally shaken off the paparazzi in the PMP 600, pulling up to the front of the Majestic Hotel with the two passengers in the back being relieved as a valet was coming to them.

"Here we are," Naruto exited the car, leaving the engine running for the valet as he told them, "You can go back inside, gentlemen, I'll be waiting outside for my pickup."

"Thank you Naruto, you're a lifesaver." Jacob said as he shook his hand, "Was fun watching those vermin getting stuck in traffic."

"That's my job, just have a nice evening."

"Hope you do too…"

"Jacob, let's go!" PG yelled out as he ran inside the hotel.

Jacob shook his head and waved Naruto off as he followed his lover, "Say hi to Tony for me."

Naruto nodded as he watched the valet take the car away and the closeted couple enter the hotel, leaving him without transportation for the moment he waited around the street before he pulled up his phone and began quick dialing Dessie's number.

A woman wearing a stylish brown raincoat and sleek black heels confidently strolled over to the blond man dressed in black. She extended her hand and offered, "Need a lift, sir?"

The man, Naruto, turned around to decline the offer but was taken aback when he found himself face to face with a surprising sight—a prominent LCPD badge adorning the woman's attire.

With a no-nonsense expression, the blonde-haired woman identified herself as Detective Yugito Nii of the LCPD. Lowering her badge, she addressed Naruto,

"Naruto Uzumaki, mind if I ask you a few questions?"

Confronted by the authoritative presence of the female detective, Naruto paused to carefully study her before responding.

"If so, I'll need to alert my boss."

Yeah, if you've noticed this gal got introduced in the fic - hope you all liked it, and see you all next time.
