Decided to make it it's own story. This goes in a different direction than Naruto's Empire for one Naruto will spend less time with his family.

Chapter One

June 15th 2010

Naruto sat in his holding cell quite as a mouse. He couldn't believe he got caught, Rook was supposed to be looking out.

The eighteen year old was broken out of his thoughts when his cell door opened and he sighed When his father walked in.

Lucious Lyon was a former drug dealer turned billionaire. He never told him the full extent of his criminal career but Naruto could only guess the things that he actually did.

"Look dad I know what your going to say and in all fairness I thought I had more time."

Lucious just stared at his son. The silence made Naruto sweat but eventually Lucious spoke.

"Since the day you could walk you've caused nothing but trouble but I've always stuck by you. When you were little you would break things and I would say don't worry he's only a kid. In school you pulled the fire alarm. Sorry he's just a stupid kid. When you were thirteen you got arrested for smoking weed on the corner. Sorry he's just a kid!"

Naruto flinched as Lucious raised his voice. "When you were fourteen you got kicked out of private school for selling weed! You've been arrested seven times since you've graduated high school and then I hear you dropped out of college after three months. I've supported you all your life but now I'm done! Your on your own."

Lucious's words surprised Naruto as he watched his father step out of his cell.

"Dad, your joking right? Cause if you are I've learned my lesson."

"Do not attempt to contact me or your brothers. From now on you are no longer apart of this family. Of I ever see you again I'll have you arrested."

And with that Lucious left, leaving Naruto alone.

"Dad! Don't do this! Dad! Dad! Lucious!"

Three Years Later

Naruto was backstage at the Barclays Center getting ready to go out and join Nicki Minaj on stage.

After his father cut ties with him He was sentenced to twelve months for breaking and entering and armed robbery.

During his time in jail he learned to adapt from the rich wannabe thug into a hardened trooper. His first day in he fought four guys in the yards and despite getting his ass beat he gained the respect of the big guy on campus, Tommy Delnegro.

Tommy gave him protection and taught him how to run the streets in and out of bars. Tommy was a big time drug lord from Chicago who had seven years left on his sentence.

When he got out Tommy told him to head down to Chicago and he would be set.

He had been in Chicago for a month and he was starting to settle into his new life. He ran jobs for Tommy's crew who set him up with a apartment in Englewood.

In his spare time he wrote some bars and even dropped a mixtape titled Welcome To Fazoland. When he played it for Tommy on a visit he gave him money to get a place in Houston and start networking.

It worked because after just a year he dropped a two more mixtapes titled Owl Pharaoh and Innanetape. He also worked with Young Thug, Chief Keef, and Future.

While his mixtapes got his name out there he gained a even larger following when he got a feature on Nicki Minaj's Chi-Raq.

He was dressed in a Chicago Bulls jersey that had his nickname, G-Herbo, on the back. A slight jab at the amount of weed he smokes. He also wore a pair of black jeans and all red high top Vans.

He was watching as Nicki started Chi-Raq and one of his friends ran up to him.

"Yo bro you got someone who wants to talk you."

He looked at who his friend was pointing to. She had light tan skin much like his own, short black hair and bright red lipstick.

"What she want?"

"Something about a record deal."

Naruto shook his head. "Tell her I'm not interested."

His friend nodded. "Alright so what's the movements looking like?"

Naruto shrugged. "After this I'm going back to the hotel cause I gotta get up early to go see my mom's."

"What about your brothers?"

Naruto shook his head. "They ain't never call, write or visit me. I'm good."

Naruto watched as his part came up and he walked out.

Play Chi-Raq Lil Herb verse

[Hook]
Know a couple niggas, that's down to ride for a homicide, when it's drama time
Run up on a nigga, with the llamas flyin', leave his loved ones all traumatized
One-fifty, I'm really with it, I'll drop his ass and then forget it
I'm the man 'round my side of town, might see a bitch and forget I hit it

[Verse 2]
I'm a young nigga, I be gettin' money,take your bitch from you
And these niggas don't get no respect,I'mma stay 100, 'til I'm 6 under
Matter fact, I gotta keep it 150, for every nigga that's gon' come with me
I'm on Roc Block, with a new semi and a blue Bentley it do 160
Smoke a lot a of weed, like fuck kidneys, put a dutch in me,got a 40 on me, I don't trust any
And if any nigga ever try to end me, I'mma die shooting, prayin' God forgive me
You too busy hating, you can't get no paper, why are y'all so silly?Straight killers
I can call so many,I don't love no bitches, but my mom, my sister, my gun and Nicki
I'm in Hollywood, came from Kingston Food,shorties standing, in the streets with tools
Where I'm from we don't play no games, ain't no April fools, you will make the news
Where I hang, we don't say no names, if you talk to cops, I stay away from you
Keep your mouth shut in them investigations, you'll be out the station, in a day or two
Dedication and a little patience, lead to domination on my way to greatness
Don't put yourself up in a situation, puttin' my relations, in your conversations
Shoot a opposition, with no hesitation,you get my position, then you better take it
Know some young bulls from a while back, tryna leave the game but they never made it
I got old shit, killin' your shit, on a couple tracks I just never played it
Pussy nigga you don't want war, I got old clips bitch I'm Baron Davis
Pussy nigga you don't want war, I got old clips bitch I'm Baron Davis

[Hook]
Know a couple niggas, that's down to ride for a homicide, when it's drama time

The beat ended and Naruto smirked. "Gang in this bitch! Brooklyn we out!"

The crowd cheered as Naruto high fived a few people in the front row before he left the stage.

An hour later he was still at the Barclays Center dispite his earlier comments. The show was already over and both his and Nicki's entourage was crammed into his dressing room.

Everyone was laughing and drinking but that all stopped when someone walked into the room.

"Can I please talk to Naruto?"

Naruto looked up and saw the woman from earlier.

"Hey I thought I told you to bounce."

"This is real important."

Naruto shook his head. "Look I understand your just doing your job but I'm not looking to sign what anybody right now."

"I'm actually from Empire."

Naruto looked at her then at his friends before they all burst out laughing.

"Yo that's even worst. I damn sure ain't signing with Empire."

The girl looked down and Naruto sighed. "Alright what's your name sweetheart?"

"Anika."

"Alright so check this out Anika. I got a complicated relationship with Lucious Lyon. And as much as y'all want me as soon as he finds out you'll be out of a job."

"He's actually the one who sent me here. He damn near demanded that I get you here. So please I just got this job and I'm not looking to losing it anytime soon."

Naruto sighed. "Alright I'll go but only because I don't want you to lose your job. But Skitts and Kato get to come with me.

A chubby darkskined man with low black hair and a white man with a dark five o'clock shadow stepped forward.

"Alright I'm sure Mister Lyon won't mind."

Naruto nodded and he, Kato and Skitts took a two hour ride up to Lucious's house.

When he got there they were told to wait before entering the dinning room.

The first thing Naruto noticed was the large table filled with food. He also took note of his three brothers sitting at the table with Lucious at the head.

"What the fuck is this?"

Lucious smiled. "It's a welcome back dinner for you son. And I see you brought some friends how about y'all sit down and enjoy this wonderful meal before we talk buisnees."

No one moved and Lucious took this opportunity to study his son. Over the years he maintained his athletic build and his hair was still dyed a golden yellow. He also added a variety of tattoos to his body. His entire right arm was covered with a giant fox with nine tails. His left forearm had a owl, his left upper arm had the Libra symbol and his left shoulder had the praying hands. On the praying hands the words, H-Town and Chi-Raq were tattooed on them.

Lucious couldn't see it now but he had seen the spiral tattoo on his stomach in music videos.

"Look I ain't come down here for no dinner. I came to tell you to eat a bag of dicks but while you all here each of you can too."

His brothers looked down and Lucious put his hand up. "Don't be angry with your brothers, they played no part in anything."

Naruto scoffed. "Yeah you may have kicked me out but they ain't do a damn thing to help me. I ain't get a visit, call, text fuck you could have emailed me."

Lucious shook his head. "Blame me for that. I told them that if they ever tried to contact you they would join you. I planned to shut you out of the family but then I realized how big of a mistake I made."

Naruto shook his head. "You only saying that because I'm building a buzz without you. You thought I didn't have what it takes to survive on my own and would come crawling back to you. But instead I stood up and marched forward. I broke free from your chains and you know what, I'm proud to be here in front of you today. So what's your offer."

"You don't want to take a seat?"

Naruto shook his head. "I'm willing to listen to you, something I don't think you've ever done in your entire life."

Lucious sighed. "Alright well if that's the case as you already know Empire is willing to offer you a record deal. Now since you've let to release a actual album we can't offer you a over the top deal but how does a one million dollar deal sound?"

Naruto laughed. "And I suppose you want that to be a three sixty deal as well."

Lucious nodded and Naruto shook his head. "Nah see I have some demands. First I want four million dollars up front."

Lucious shook his head. "I can't do four million."

His older brother Andre finally spoke. "Actually I can guarantee you that we have more then enough to accommodate Naruto."

"Good because I also want Skitts to get a three million dollar contact as well. Not only is he a dope ass DJ but he makes some killer beats. After that I want creative control and I also want to retain all the publishing rights to my music. Oh and I'm only willing to pay a fifteen percent distribution few."

Lucious pinched the bridge of his nose. "The board will never approve of that."

Naruto shrugged. "Creedmore approved it. They also affored fifteen million, the only thing they didn't approve is Skitts."

Naruto smirked as Lucious clenched his fist. "I'll get it through, but under two condition."

"If it's a manager no deal cause my man's Kato does that."

"No first you base yourself in New York."

Naruto nodded. "Alright I can do that, what's the second?"

"You drop your debut album with an the next year. If you can promise this it'll please the board just a bit more into agreeing to your terms."

"Alright bet. We'll swing by your office in two days to sign up and me and Skitts will get right to work."

Lucious nodded and then much to his surprise the trio sat down at the table.

"Your going to stay for dinner?"

Naruto nodded. "I mean fuck it, we took care of buisnees and I'm hungry. But don't get anything confused, you still a fuck boy but I've learned to appreciate the finer things in life and wasting food is just disrespectful."

Lucious nodded and everyone began filling their plates.

Two Years Later (May 13 2015)

It took Naruto ten months to release his debut Album, The Rise. He actually let Jamal get on one of the songs which turned into one of the album's best songs. Before releasing his album he dropped a mixtape titled Ball Like I'm Kobe. After the release of the album he toured the U.S. and Canada where he was able to connect with many artists. After his tour he managed to release another mixtape called Days Before Rodeo. The Rise also contributed much to Naruto's fame.

At the 56th Annual Grammy's he won Best New Artist, Song of The Year (Man on a Mission), Best Rap Performance (The Greatest) and best Rap Album.

At the 2014 VMA's he won Artist to Watch and at the BET Hip Hop Awards he picked up Best Live Performer, Lyricist of the Year and Rookie of the Year.

Outside of rapping Naruto showed that he could write and produce just as good.

He produced songs for Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Drake, Chris Brown, Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore and Wiz Khalifa. He had written for Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Taylor Swift and Macklemore.

Naruto now twenty three was in his Tribeca apartment counting a pile of money. Despite his newfound fame Naruto couldn't let go of the life he had become use to. He opened up Tommy's drug trade to celebrities with deep pockets. Tommy's crew supplied the drugs and Naruto supplied the contacts, they split the money fifty fifty earning him a good twenty million dollars over the years from just the drugs alone. Due to his deal with Empire he picked up a nice one hundred and fifty million dollars.

His phone rang and he answered.

"Sup pops."

"You missed the family meeting at my house."

Naruto shook his head and looked his DJ and best friend Skittles, Skitts for short.

"My bad me and Skitts was going over a set for this show."

"What show?"

"Taylor visited Brooklyn College a few months back and made some deal with them that ends in me performing for them."

"You do too much for that girl and you still haven't hit it."

Naruto sighed. "Why can't I just be friends with a girl and not want to smash?"

"Because you can-"

Naruto interrupted him by crumbling a fist full of hundred dollar bills near the phone.

"Sorry pops...I...your brea-"

He hung up the phone and tossed it to the side.

"Fuck boy ass nigga. Yo come on skitts! It's puff puff pass nigga! Not puff puff hold."

Skitts sighed and handed him the blunt. "My bad bro. But you know that show ain't for a few months right?"

Naruto nodded. "Yeah I know but I hate hearing that nigga complain in my ear."

"But you know he got a point right? I mean your damn near best friends with Taylor Swift and you ain't even try to kill."

Naruto shrugged as he got up. "We just real tight. I'll be right back, while I'm gone call up Kato and tell him to get his ass back to New York."

Skitts nodded and pulled out his phone. "It's that girl from the coffee shop?"

Naruto looked back at him. "What?"

"The barista from the one you go to get your coffee from everyday. The one who pretends to not know who you are. I'm not gonna lie though, she got a fat ass!"

"Just make the call and band up the rest of this shit, I'll be right back."

Naruto left the apartment but heard Skitts tell. "Get me a blueberry scone!"

Naruto came back twenty minutes later with a cup of coffee and a bag of blueberry scones. The first thing he noticed was the brown coat on his couch and the coffee table missing thousands of dollars that just occupied it.

"Skitts!"

When he received no answer he opened one of the drawers and reached for his Uzi. He stopped when he heard laughter coming from his kitchen.

"Yo I keep telling you about letting people in my crib!"

"I think you'll make an exception this time."

Naruto turned and saw someone standing in his refrigerator, his mother.

"Your friend was just telling me about your little girl problem."

Naruto shook his head. "There's no problem."

"He's in denial miss Lyon."

Naruto turned to his best friend. "Who's side are you on?"

"I'm on the side of love!"

The look that Naruto sent him made Skitts shiver. "As a matter of fact I got to go. See you later miss Lyon. Oh and it's in the safe in case your wondering."

Naruto nodded and Skitts left. Naruto stared at Cookie taking in her appearance.

"I see you went to visit Mal. He the only one that could have swagged you out like that. So how long you been out?"

"Two days. I just got back from seeing your dumbass twin."

Naruto smirked. "Yeah Hakeem is like that sometimes. Makes me glad pops sent me away."

"Yeah I heard about that. I'm so sorry about that."

Naruto shrugged. "I'm not. It made me stronger, more appreciative."

Cookie nodded as she walked around the large apartment, stopping in front of his trophy case displaying his Grammy's.

"You know your father has never won one of these yet?"

Naruto nodded. "Yeah, he was kind of pissed when I won four in the same night."

"So you working on anything new?"

Naruto sighed. "I haven't been feeling it lately. Pops is always asking about it but I really hit a slump and I've been trying but can't seem to get it right."

Naruto gestured to a stack of notebooks and Cookie picked one up.

"These aren't bad. They could definitely use some work and I can help you."

Naruto shrugged. "It's worth a shot."

"Good now you better fry me some chicken before I get a broom on your ass."

Naruto smirked.

Three Days later

Naruto sat on the steps of Empire's yatch with Hakeem.

"You haven't been answering my calls.

"Sorry I been busy."

Hakeem scoffed. "Yeah busy hanging out with that bitch!"

"Damn Hakeem chill with that I was just helping her find a place to stay."

"But why! She ain't do nothing for us. Walking into places like she run the show."

"Yeah but remember how I felt when I got kicked out of the family? No calls or anything."

Hakeem nodded and looked down. Naruto smirked and nugged him.

"Don't worry, I'm over it and that's what Cookie's trying to do. But you ain't making it easy on her. But enough about Cookie, let's talk about this album."

"Yeah this shit gonna be dope. I was wondering if you would hope on a track or two."

"Alright, whenever you ready. But I don't think you ready for my bars."

After their conversation Lucious made a speech announcing Cookie back into the company and that all three of his sons planned on releasing albums. This surprised Naruto because Jamal always said he just wanted to work on singles.

"Now I know we have a lot of talented people in here but I would like one particular person to wow us, Naruto."

Naruto sighed and downed his drink before taking the mic from his father.

"Alright y'all I'm going to do a little song I been working on. This is actually a song that was produced by my talented mother Cookie Lyon."

Everyone clapped as Naruto pointed out his mother.

"Yo Skitts run it!"

Skitts, who was DJing the party nodded.

Here I come, snortin' glitter, portrait pictures
I don't run with many cause their walk is bitter
Niggas mad at T
Where the tall freckled white boys at? Cause I don't fuck with niggas
That's not my homie, that's not my woadie
That's not my team, nigga, they're benchwarmers
I am a stormer, I am a trooper
I am a Koopa, bring the losses now, you assume as I moved it
I run the business
I do not got time for niggas' opinions
They fuckin' stupid, don't need 'em, don't want 'em
I drop 'em, they're deadweight, them niggas useless
Neck heavy like mothafuckin' bad news
Thanks to Ben Baller, walkin' with a hunchback
I got a new white one that I worked hard for
So the doors on my car doin' jump jacks
My big bro Mal got a Porsche
My twin Hakeem got a Bimmer
If you see 'em around me, they eatin'
We all good, it's like FEMA
But of course

[Interlude: Skitts]
Get money, nigga! Get money!
All you funny lookin' niggas back the fuck up!

[Bridge: Naruto]
I wanted to add this
I sit in room with a to do list
Proceed to do and play acoustics, you
Sit around and look at me feelin' foolish
Rollin' up and make excuses, fuck it

[Outro: Skitts]
Fuck them niggas!
Aye man, aye man!
Aye I just got one mothafuckin' question
Why the fuck these niggas wanna look like me now?
Why the fuck these hoes wanna fuck a nigga like me now?
Why the fuck these niggas frontin' like niggas ain't been invented the swag they runnin' with?
Why the fuck is niggas actin' like niggas ain't the originators of this shit?
Man I tell these niggas they can die and suck a dick!
How was that? Cool?

Naruto laughed with Skitts as the entire boat clapped for him.

Later That Night

After a long day of partying on the yatch Naruto was happy to get some sleep. The moment his head hit the pillow his phone rang and he groaned.

He checked the caller ID before sighing.

"Kato do you have any idea what time it is."

"We almost got hit."

All ounces of sleep left him as he jumped out of bed.

"What!"

"Somebody tried to hit use while we were unloading at the docks and shit ain't turn out good for him."

"You killed him?"

"No I figured you'd want a word with him first."

Naruto nodded. "Where you at?"

"Behind your building."

Naruto's eyes widened as he ran out of his apartment. When he got outside he found Kato holding a gun to a blindfolded girls head and two men were holding down a man, both in tears.

"What the fuck is going on here!"

Kato smiled. "Boss meet this mother fucker right here Tyrone and his fiancee Trish. Tyrone here tried to catch us off guard but when he realized he was out guned he fled. Took us thirty minutes to track him down. Found him in bed with her. He ain't get nothing but he did kill three of our men."

Naruto nodded before getting in Kato's face. "And why the fuck would you bring him here! I just announced I'm releasing a album, did you clear the place for papparzzi?"

"I'm not stupid Ruto. I took care of it. Now are you going to take care of this?"

Naruto sighed and held out his hand and was handed a pair of gloves.

"Alright stand him up."

The two goons holding Tyrone lifted him up straight and Naruto punched him in the face.

"Do you understand what you've done Tyrone. You've put me in a slippery slope. You didn't take anything but you tried to and you killed three of my men in the process. Now cops are going to have to be paid off to cover up the gunfire at the docks. I gotta send money to families for condolences and a whole lot of other shit and I can't let that go unpunished."

Naruto grabbed Tyrone's face and made him look in his eyes.

"Now I know you've been asked this question a dozen times but now it's you and me. Two men who would rather be anywhere but here. Now how did you know to hit the docks?"

Tyrone shook his head. "I can't."

Naruto sighed and held out his hand and Kato placed a glock 19 with a silencer in his hand.

"Now look I got a lot of shit going on so pick a number between one and five...pick!"

"Three."

Naruto nodded and put the gun two his head. "That's how many seconds you got before I pull this trigger!"

He heard the girl scream and Tyrone gulped.

"One...two..."

"Please if I tell you they'll kill her."

"So will I."

Naruto turned the gun and shot Trish in the head killing her.

"Noooo!"

Tyrone's body slumped forward as he began to sob. Naruto grabbed him and threw him against the wall.

"You know how this ends so just tell me how you knew and clear your conscience."

Tyrone sighed as he looked up at the moon, tears running down his face.

"I used to go out to the docks to clear my head. Get away from my crappy life and crappy job. I watched as twice a month your men unload everything. Money, drugs and guns. I wanted to provide for Trish move out of the city. So I brought a gun from some shady street thug and waited at the docks. No one else knew."

Naruto nodded. "Thank you."

And with that Naruto ended Tyrone's life with a quick shot to the head.

Naruto handed over the gun and took off his guns.

"Clean this shit up! I don't want to see a single spot in the morning."

Naruto went back into the building and Kato followed him.

"You think he was telling the truth?"

Naruto shook his head. "If he was telling the truth he would have tried to save his finances life. Whoever he was lying for must have really spooked him."

"So what now?"

"We proceed with business. I want everything packed and ready for shipping. We got a lot of orders, time to get to work."

And Done

Let me know how y'all like the new version. A few elements of power in it. And no this will not be a Naruto/Taylor Swift story, they will have a friendship but he will be paired with a oc.

As always read, follow, favorite and review.

Duces!
