Tragedy

I start writing this story two years ago and my writing and language level was horrible. I will slow rewrite all 14 chapters. So you can get a better view of the story.

Gotham. When people think about Gotham, they know that it is a city of criminals. Mafia rules this city. All power in the city belongs to one person, Carmin Falcone, the godfather of Gotham. All of the judges, officials, and police obey him, and those who go against it either get killed or declared missing. But even in Gotham, there are good police officers like Jim Gordon and Minato Namikaze, Two detectives who want to make Gotham a better place.

Minato Namikaze has a wife and son. He wants a city where his son can walk around safely and his wife, who works in a restaurant, won't have to be afraid that it will burn at night as has happened to so many businesses that went against Falcone.

Minato was on a mission, he went to an abandoned warehouse to get something left behind by one of Falcone's men who was responsible for giving bribes to the many dirty officers of Gotham.

He had kept records of everything for the sake of his security, secret from Falcone. Falcone had him hunted down recently. Minato was lucky, he was able to ask him where he hid his records before he died.

' If I can to get these records, Falcone will lose almost all power in Gotham.' Minato thought as he pulled into the parking lot. The warehouse was located in the old part of Gotham, the home of the highest-ranking leaders of the underworld.

The police patrol this is often, so his arrival would not be unusual. As he looked over the warehouse, he made a quick call.

"Jim I am now in the old part of Gotham. Come to the address I left on your Desk. This is our chance to destroy Falcone."

Removing the phone and leaving the car, Minato went to the warehouse. He had to find an old wardrobe. On one of the doors will be a picture of a snake. Finding the right wardrobe Minato opened it. Now the searches for the secret drawer. Having studied wardrobe Minato saw in the right-hand corner a small button. Clicking on it, he opened one of the drawers in the wardrobe. In the box was an old log with records. Thumbing through it Minato found a lot of names. From patrol officers to the mayor of the city. This could be a chance for Gotham erase most of it corruption.

Suddenly there was a shot. Minato felt pain sear through in his back. Then there was another shot and Minato fell on his stomach. Hardly turned over on his back he saw three men approach him. One of them he recognized. It was Carmine Falcone. Minato desperately tried to reach his gun but he has shot again, this time in the hand. One of the people took the envelope with records and handed it to Falcone. Minato feels powerless at this moment. He was so close to getting Falcone.

"I have to admit your strength and will detective" Falcone voice was calm and easy. After all, why shouldn't he? "Don't worry. I promise you wouldn't be alone in the afterlife. I make sure your wife join you soon after"

Minato tried to do something but his hands would not obey him. He felt that life was leaving him. While one of Falcone's thugs pulled out the gun, he looked him in the eye. He wanted to see the man who killed him. A shot rang out, and a man dropped to the ground.

Falcone left, only a few of his men were left behind, soon their number decreased by one. Amidst police sirens and lights they all ran away. Minato saw a figure run up to him, Gordon.

"Hold On Minato. The ambulance will be here soon. You must hold on" he said.

Minato fought the darkness that loomed in the edges of his vision. His family was in danger and he needed to tell Jim, Jim would find a way to save them.

"Jim... Falcone sent men to kill a cough my family cough. You've got to do something." Strength left him as he fought to speak, he knew that he was going to die. "Go..." all he could say. Strength left him. He could feel darkness consume him. Few seconds after Minato Namikaze stop breathing.

(Kushina)

Kushina had a bad feeling all day. Naruto was in the Park and would be home soon, and Minato again was held up at work. The café she works at was busy today. Her ramen was the best in town well, or at least she thought so.

She heard the door chime as someone enters the café. Usually, she would not pay attention but all the customers started hustling in and out of the café. Deciding to find out what was happening, she walked away from the stove and stepped into the hall. There were five people. They were all in suits. She immediately realized that this was Falcone's men. It wasn't the first time they had come here. They try to treat Minato through her. But after she beat last three who try it, they stop coming/

"Last time when your friends came here it's doesn't end well for them," she said.

There was no words or any sign of danger. Man in charge just get the gun and shoot her in the stomach. Kushina falls on the ground and with a gasp. She holds her stomach trying to stop bleeding.

The man who did this, turn to his man.

"Burn this place," he said. There was some twisted pleasure in his voice.

Kushina was lying on the floor slowly dying, the smell of gasoline strong in her nostrils as they poured it on her. "My son, what will you do with my son?" she asked him.

"Don't worry, we were commanded not to kill him. Though killing him would be a mercy. Orphans in Gotham do not live long." he said and took out a lighter. All heard the cries of Kushina Namikaze far into the night.

(Naruto)

Naruto was walking home. He was in the Park and played with her friend Barbara. Their fathers worked together and so they were best friends. He was eight years old but he already knew how dangerous the city he lives it was. They played and did not notice how quickly the time had passed. He must have been a long time already to be at home mom probably will punish him. When he was almost home, he was faced with someone. This man had a scar under his eye. He looked at him and smiled.

"What's your name boy?" he asked.

"Naruto Namikaze" he replied. He grabbed Naruto by the shirt lifted him up and pressed him against the wall.

"I was ordered not to touch you but not forbidden to talk. Remember me Naruto I'm the one who killed your mother. And do you know why I killed her? Because we are the ones who rule this town. And you are nothing! I could kill you right now and it will be nothing" he said and started to squeeze the boy's neck. Naruto started to choke as the man said "Can you be smarter than your parents? Be sure to show proper respect to. Never forget the strong rule and weak obey or I can come back to remind you" he threw Naruto away like some baggage and walked away.

Naruto slowly rise. This man told him that his mom was dead. Naruto runs fast as his small legs can get him. When he reached the block, he saw the fire. Firefighters were working to extinguish the flames. Mom's cafe was burning. Naruto slipped through the crowd and tried to run into the cafe but he was caught. Naruto struggled to get away, tears streaming down his face, but a pair of strong arms held him.

"Let me go I have to help my Mom. RELEASE ME!" Naruto shouted. It took a few moments for him to realize the one holding him was his uncle Jim. "Uncle Jim, you have to help my Mother. Where's dad why's he not here?" Naruto asked. Jim only hugged the boy tighter.

"Everything will be fine Naruto. Everything will be fine" he said.

Naruto stood in the cemetery of Gotham. Barbara was holding his hand. It was the cold autumn day but at least no rain. Police serve ceremony. Flags and respect. Try to honor Naruto's parents but all of this doesn't matter.

Naruto told Jim about that man, but there was no other evidence or witnesses. Too scared say something or just don't care. After all, that man was right, strong rule and weak obey.

Uncle Jim decides that it would better for him to live with them. Naruto just holds Barbara hand tighter. One day he would find this man and all other responsibility for this..
