Hey guys and welcome back. It's time for some fighting and some con artist work. It's time for Diggstown: a movie from 1992 starring James Woods, Louis Gosset Jr., Bruce Dern, and Oliver Platt. Naturally, the money involved in this is higher than what it was in the movie.

Sorry for delays, but I had a things to do in real life and I got some other updates done as well.

I got one reviewer complaining that I had the arcs too similar to what they were in the movies themselves, but that's mainly because A) I still have to make it somewhat look like the movie I am using and B) I don't want to rush with what Naruto can do since I want some build up to more of his skills rather than just essentially dropping a level 200 character in a level 10 area. However, this also lets me point out that this one will be different from how the movie went with nearly the same set up being done.

I believe that's it since I addressed the reviews that needed addressing, so let's get this show on the road.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, the Furious series, or anything else I add into this fic. Be nice if I did.

Chapter 4: Diggstown

Winfield Prison: Olivair County: Georgia: 3 Days Since Last Chapter

Naruto whistled a tune as he sat at a picnic table with Fitz and Gabriel "Gabe" Caine, Fitz' friend and partner, as they played cards and were talking about the current situation and the con. "Jesus. What if they find the tunnel?" Fitz asked since Gabe had just informed them the Warden was getting more suspicious of the recent escapes.

"So what? What, you think I left my fucking name on it?" Gabe asked rhetorically as he dealt cards to himself and Fitz. Gabe then looked at the cards and smiled, "Queen's Key. What do you think the chances are, of another queen right here?" Gabe asked as he pointed to the deck he was still holding as Fitz counted.

"Two showing. 10 cards down. Looks like two out of 40 to me." Fitz stated seeing the cards that were on the table compared to what was left of the deck.

"45%?" Gabe asked making Naruto smirk a bit since he saw what Gabe missed.

"Sounds right." Fitz stated as Gabe grinned and flipped the card.

"Unless, of course…" Gabe stated before he frowned and Fitz grinned.

"Unless, of course, there's only one queen left because the other's not where you put it." Fitz stated showing he had palmed and swiped the queen that Gabe had ensured was on top of the deck causing both to chuckle.

"The $30,000 coming out okay with Alex?" Gabe asked as he gathered up the cards.

"Leave it to you to make 150 Gs in jail." Fitz stated since it had to be some kind of record among criminals.

"Yeah well, that's just pennies compared to what we can get from this new job. How are the farm boys in Diggstown looking?" Gabe asked and Fitz smirked.

"Nothing Roy can't handle. I've seen them all. How's he doing?" Fitz asked and Gabe hesitated a moment making Naruto look at him before frowning.

"You haven't asked him, have you?" Naruto asked looking at him and Gabe clicked his tongue a bit as Fitz looked at him in shock.

"You what?!" Fitz asked ensuring he kept his voice down.

"I don't have his money, did you think he was going to talk to me unless I personally went and saw him?" Gabe asked and Naruto sighed and pinched his nose.

"All right, look, if I'm helping with this, then no conning each other. I don't want to have to watch my partners and the mark through all of this." Naruto stated making Gabe raise his hands in surrender. "As for Roy, how about I go see him and pay him his dues?" Naruto stated and Gabe and Fitz nodded since Roy and Naruto were close.

"Sound good, Naruto. Just do your best to convince him." Gabe stated and Naruto nodded.

"Convincing may not be the hardest part, that fight in Moline did a number on him even if he was selling it for the side betting. We may need a backup plan in case Roy can't fight." Naruto stated making them frown and Gabe looked at Fitz.

"Well, there's always using Wildfire." Gabe stated making Naruto look at him a minute before shrugging.

"If needs be, I'll still get Roy in on this regardless though." Naruto stated making them nod as Gabe gave Fitz the deck.

"Okay, regardless of which method is used, it's time to set the hook in Diggstown." Gabe stated making both nod as Gabe looked at Fitz. "Do it just like I told you." Gabe stated making Fitz nod and wave him off. "Hey. Exactly like I told you." Gabe stated seriously since one screw up and not only was the plan shot but they possibly would lose more than money.

"I got it." Fitz stated nodding seriously since he knew not to fuck up, especially with Naruto there since he was still young and had a lot more to lose than they did.

Gabe nodded before smiling, "Party's on me when it's all over and we got stacks of cash waiting for us." Gabe stated and Fitz made a face.

"Gabe, when it's over, we'll all be lucky to get away before they kill us." Fitz stated before giving a 'please having a plan in case they try to kill us' smile on his face.

"You know the difference between a hustler and a good con man?" Gabe asked and Naruto smirked as he knew this bit. Gabe continued at Fitz shaking his head. "Hustler has to get out of town as quick as he can, but a good con man?" Gabe asked and held up his hand showing the ace of clubs while Naruto held up the ace of spades.

"He doesn't have to leave, until he wants to." Naruto stated making Gabe laugh a bit as Naruto tossed the card on the table. He then checked his watch and stood, "Well, I got two girls to check on and then I'll head to Texas to see Roy. You're going to see Victor day after you get out?" Naruto asked and Gabe nodded. "All right, call me when me and Roy should come to Diggstown since we can't show up till you get the job started or it looks too suspicious and we need to keep suspicion to a minimum until the bet is fully underway." Naruto stated and the two nodded knowing they needed their mark to be confident and believe he had the advantage.

"See you in a few days." Gabe stated making Naruto nod before he left.

Arriving back at his hotel, Naruto smiled seeing Lai and Nanette laying naked in the bed asleep and cuddling together. After the fiasco in France, Lai decided to join him and Nanette on their travels to help her relax a bit before she'd have to go back to China to appear for her father's will reading as well as his funeral, neither of which she was looking forward to since the rest of her family were all cutthroat in their own way and would no doubt be after his business and fortune before marrying Lai off to anyone that could give them a bigger cut of profit and influence.

Naruto would ensure that shit didn't happen, though he wouldn't kill any of them unless there was no other option… Mainly because it would just make Lai have to stay in China even longer than she desired.

For the other women in his life, Mia and Letty were living together and working to keep up the appearances of needing money since Naruto had handled things for the both of them. Both regularly hung out and had meals with Carla, Jennifer, Tsunade, and Tenten with them all becoming friends. Susan joined them at times too, though not often as she had to keep up public appearances for her family's sake as any scandal would hinder the company and family name, which was why they were so pissed at Johnny when he was arrested. Suki and Hinata had taken a vacation and were no doubt ruining every hotel room they were staying in, but he still talked to them a few times. Monica had texted him a few times, but not much else since she was most likely on another assignment.

As for his friends, Red had been silent since he was no doubt doing his business, though he did tell him about his job in Diggstown. Roman had been hanging in Miami and was Tej's go to guy for making money while Tej was still running his shop and organizing different races. Dom was in South America still, no exact location but it was better that way for now.

For Lai and Nanette, Naruto would let them sleep before taking them to eat and then he'd head to Texas, he was looking forward to seeing Roy again.

HOUSTON: TEXAS

Naruto walked into the local Y and saw a middle-aged black man teaching kids how to box, specifically a jab. "Remember to twist your hips to add some power to the jab." Naruto called out making the man turn and see him with Naruto dropping his duffle and holding his arms open.

The man laughed before looking to one of his assistants, "Take over for me." He ordered before getting out of the ring and walking towards Naruto and gave him a hug, which was returned, "You look good, kid." The man stated causing Naruto smile.

The man was"Honey" Roy Palmer, named that because in the ring he'd always do his sweet thing and win. Roy was a mentor for Naruto when he was younger and helped teach him discipline and control through boxing and keeping in shape.

"So do you, though I like you better shaved than that u-shaped haircut." Naruto stated making Roy laugh before he motioned to the duffle, "I got what's owed." Naruto stated making Roy turn serious.

"So, Gabe sent you." Roy stated and Naruto shook his head.

"No, I came to talk and ensure you got what was owed. If you want no part of anything then fine." Naruto stated making Roy hum at him.

"What's the play?" Roy asked knowing it had to be pretty serious if Gabe brought Naruto in.

Naruto led him over to a bench and sat down, "Boxing. Mark has control over a town and I'm pretty sure he may have done something to a local boxing legend, Charles Macum Diggs. We figure he's got at least $12 million but we don't know for sure till we get set up. Plan is to bet a fighter can beat any 10 Diggstown men in a day." Naruto stated making Roy widen his eyes slightly since Diggs was the idol of quite a few underdog boxers since he came from nothing and was self taught and made it into being a heavyweight champion.

However, there was a problem, "I can't fight anymore. I got a bruised up brain and I busted both my hands in a car accident. I can teach, but can't fight." Roy stated making Naruto frown and nod.

"Then how about being my coach again?" Naruto asked making Roy look at him. "I've stayed in shape, but it's been a while since I boxed and could use a veteran teaching me. Plus you'd get a good cut of the funds meaning you could buy and fix this place up even better." Naruto stated making Roy frown and look down in thought.

After a few minutes of silence, Roy patted his leg, "I'll think on it, how about you come over for supper tonight?" Roy asked and Naruto smiled and nodded.

"I'll bring the wine." Naruto stated making Roy nod as the two hugged again before Naruto left with Roy taking the duffle and putting it in a locker.

As Naruto got in his car, a simple SUV as he just needed a rental, he pulled out his phone and texted Fitz. "Roy can't box again, looks like I'm the one fighting. Adjust the con as needed." Naruto's message read before he drove back to his hotel and got a response.

"Got it, I'll tell Gabe before I head to bait the hook." Fitz responded and Naruto hummed in thought.

"See what he thinks about upping it to 15 men." Naruto sent back with Fitz giving a confirmation before Naruto entered his hotel and got ready for dinner.

That night, Naruto had a peaceful dinner with Roy and his wife Mary telling them about what he had been up to, ALL of what he had been up to… except the sex and such, they could remain blissfully ignorant to that. Naruto had promised long ago never to lie to anyone important to him, and Roy and Mary were in that category.

They weren't ignorant, they knew about his life entirely and while Mary was uncomfortable at times with actions he took, she understood the why.

The fact that 99% of the time the only people hurt were scum of the Earth was just something else to ease their conscience about him. Plus, Naruto looked out for his own, he wasn't trying to be a hero and save everyone, but he wasn't condemning everyone else either.

Not out to change the world, but not out to ruin it either.

Those had been his words when it came to him doing the things he did. He'd protect his own and help if he could, but he wasn't going around looking for those who needed help either.

However, Naruto was also honest with Mary over why he was there. She was annoyed, of course, but was thankful he wasn't trying to con them like Gabe would have done. Naruto explained that Roy would be a coach and not be fighting and would be safe from any reprisal that may come, Naruto would ensure that.

The night ended with Naruto bidding them good night and heading back to his hotel while telling Roy he had time to think about joining the job.

Naruto was skilled at fighting, but he hadn't worked on boxing in a long time and Roy would help get him back into shape.

LATER IN THE WEEK: MIAMI

Gabe dressed in casual clothing walked into a villa with an older man walking with him. "So, Gabriel, 4 years goes by that fast? I have to say the grift and game hasn't been the same without you." The man, named Victor Corsini, asked as they walked to a bar.

"Yeah well, they give a 2-for-1 special if you don't use a gun. God bless the liberals, right?" Gabe stated as he leaned on the bar with Victor pouring him a glass of scotch. "Anyway, I got a gig going, going to start running at least a couple million, I need a holder that's so well-known and established, like the esteemed Victor Corsini, for the money. Interested?" Gabe stated and Victor laughed.

"You see this guy, Paulo?" Victor asked looking at his protégé and right hand man enforcer before looking back at Gabe. "You know I can't resist watching you work, Gabriel, but uh… where did you ever get that kind of money?" Victor asked with a bit of an accusing tone.

Gabe smiled and sipped his scotch. "From you." Gabe stated making Victor lose his smile before doing a scoffing laugh.

"Don't make me have to kill you, Gabriel. You know I don't like it when I have to kill my friends." Victor stated as he looked at Gabe and Gabe merely smiled.

"Naruto's in on this." Gabe stated making Victor instantly become interested and his men to pay attention to the discussion.

"Oh? Naruto is working with you? Then by all means, I'll get you as much funding as you need." Victor stated knowing Naruto being involved ensured he got his money no matter what, plus it always got a nice profit for him.

"Great, I'll let him know you're in and contact you when the job is going." Gabe stated shaking Victor's hand and leaving while Paulo watched him.

"Looks like I won't get to kill him." Paulo stayed with some disappointment and Victor shrugged.

"No, not unless he does something that even Naruto won't protect. Naruto's already given us business when he removed Verone from the game, financing Gabriel is a small way to say thank you for such a lucrative business expansion." Victor stated making Paulo nod.

"True, but I can always hope." Paulo stated making Victor laugh before he rejoined the card game with his friends.

COUPLE DAYS LATER: DIGGSTOWN

Fitz was standing in a bar next to a pool table as another guy was leaning on him and it was clearly evident that Fitz was drunk, or at least appeared to be, "Hustling? Now, ain't that a bitch." Fitz stated as he leaned back having beat them at poker and pool while they were giving him pitcher after pitcher of beer to make him lose. Luckily, he had taken some pills that keep him from getting drunk, though tomorrow he'd be paying for it with the hangover.

Regardless, he'd taken their money and one guy's brand new corvette. "Did I ask you to shoot pool? Did I? Huh? Or beg you to play cards? HELL NO! I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO WIN! Now you're all pissed off because you didn't listen?! I'm sorry, but that is just a load of shit." Fitz stated before leaning back and bumping a picture of a boxer named Diggs. "Like this guy was at times." Fitz stated only for the man that was leaning on him to grab him by the tie and pull him forward.

"You got something to say about Charles Macum Diggs, buddy?" The man stated aggressively before pushing Fitz back.

"Frank, look, no offense, Charles Macum Diggs was a great boxer, but he's also one of the most overrated would-have-been-but-never-was heavyweight boxers of modern times. I mean it was awesome that he won that last fight, but I'm surprised he didn't die." Fitz stated before the now named Frank punched him the gut causing him to drop to his knees drawing cheers from the other bar patrons.

"Charles Macum Diggs was one of the greatest boxers of all time! I've seen him put away as many as five men in one day when he was training." Frank stated as he looked around the bar getting agreements from different people. He then looked down at Fitz, "Now, you name anybody you've ever seen do that, loudmouth." Frank stated and Fitz groaned against the table trying to keep his full stomach in check.

"Wildfire Uzumaki." Fitz stated looking at Frank, who raised an eyebrow and looked around at everyone else seeing they were confused as he was.

"Who?" Frank asked as Fitz groaned and tried to get up.

"The most impressive and ruthless young boxer of modern times. Naruto 'Wildfire' Uzumaki." Fitz stated still hunched over the table while Frank was looking around seeing none of his boys knew who that was.

"I ain't never heard of no Naruto 'Wildfire' Uzumaki." Frank stated and Fitz laughed as he stood up.

"You never heard of him, because he never got his shot at the big leagues. He was a still a teenager when he boxed, but had to quit to support family after a tragedy." Fitz stated making a few gain some respect for him. "He could take on any 15 of you in a day. Any 15, any day!" Fitz stated making a few scoff.

"Nobody can take on 15 men and walk away. Nobody." A guy nicknamed Buster stated and Fitz scoffed as he held up money.

"I got $250,000 cash against your $25,000, says he could take on any 15 Diggstown men and walk away from every one of them." Fitz stated before pointing at Frank. "Don't you tell me what I do and don't know." Fitz stated making Frank scoff before Fitz went and grabbed some more beer.

"How's about your $500,000 against my $50,000?" An older man asked as he was backed up by the sheriff and two others.

"Hell, yeah! Why not?!" Fitz shouted as he drank.

"You got yourself a bet there, buddy boy." The man stated making Fitz pause and turn to look at him.

"Who the hell are you?" Fitz asked as he was still acting drunk as the man walked forward.

"John Clayton Gillon, that's who I am. The former manager and forever champion of Charles Macum Diggs. We don't take kindly to anyone insulting Mr. Diggs, but since you're so confident, I just had to bet. So, when do you want to put this little event of yours on, Mr.…" Gillon started and Fitz scoffed slightly.

"You? You're not serious." Fitz stated acting like he hadn't thought this through at all.

Gillon laughed, "Oh yeah, I'm serious. I've even brought my $50,000 cash, just so show you how serious." Gillon stated showing a wad of cash and a couple gold pieces. "Surely you have your $500,000." Gillon stated and Fitz looked to the blob of cash he had causing Gillon to laugh before motioning outside. "You own my son's car, and that's gotta be at least $150,000. I saw that fancy souped-up truck, or people said it was yours, and that's gotta be at least another $200,000 easy. That of course leaves $150,000 cash. I'm sure a high roller like yourself has got to have at least $150,000 cash on you at all times. Because if you don't, you wanna know what we call that around here?" Gillon asked and Fitz shrugged slightly while making a face. "A forfeit. And right now." Gillon stated as he turned from friendly to hostile at the end.

Fitz stammered slightly as he was trying to back out, or make it look like he was, before Gabe spoke up from the back, having already set bait with Gillon by losing $10,000 against him. "I'll back him." Gabe stated making everyone turned to see him sitting there.

"Mr. Caine. You a fan of Naruto Wildfire Uzumaki, too?" Gillon asked and Gabe snorted before he stood up.

"I don't know who the fuck 'Naruto Wildfire Uzumaki' is. I just want to see you eat $50,000." Gabe stated as he stood and walked over to the group before looking at Fitz. "The guy as good as you say he is, stud?" Gabe asked and Fitz made a dull noise. "He fucking well better be." Gabe stated as he drank from his glass and pointed at the sheriff. "I don't want the money kept with this sheriff either. Do you know Delbert Weisman in Vegas? Victor Corsini in Miami?" Gabe asked and Gillon nodded.

"I know Mr. Corsini. He's got an excellent reputation. I have no problem at all with him escrowing our wager." Gillon stated before looking at one of the men that came with him. "Monday morning, you make sure the funds are wired to Mr. Corsini in Miami." Gillon stated making the man nod before he turned back to Gabe. "Two weeks from tonight good for you to start this, Mr. Caine?" Gillon asked and Gabe looked at Fitz, who continued acting the drunken fool by shrugging and making a 'why the fuck not?' face.

"Done. I'll be back, Wednesday? To work out the rules and regulations for the fights?" Gabe asked and Gillon nodded and shook his hand.

"Fair enough, Mr. Caine, but the vehicles WILL stay in town." Gillon stated and Gabe nodded while Fitz raised his cup to him before Gillon started leaving. "Boys, remind me in church Sunday morning to thank God for making fools." Gillon stated making the followers laugh while Gabe downed his glass and left after "getting" Fitz' address.

He also noted to let Naruto know the gig was on.

LATER: GILLON HOME

Gillon was having breakfast with Sheriff Stennis, Bob Ferris; who was Gillon's research and information guy; and Mitch Willis, Gillon's banker, as Bob was telling them what he found on Naruto. "Found some records of Naruto Wildfire Uzumaki. His last recorded fight was in 1991." Bob stated as he sat down and got some coffee.

"91? How old is this guy?" Mitch asked and Bob looked at him.

"25." Bob stated making them look at him. "He was a teenage prodigy in the boxing world, won every title and prize there is for boxing in the youth division from age 14 to 16, then he just dropped off the face of the boxing Earth. His trainer was former Heavyweight boxer 'Honey' Roy Palmer, who had his own unique boxing record with only two losses out of his entire career to a man named Hammerhead Hagan, and the two stayed together until Mr. Uzumaki stopped boxing." Bob stated making them frown.

"So he hasn't boxed in 10 years? Hell, that means he'll be so rusty that the boys will handle him fine." Stennis stated and Bob made a face.

"Maybe, he had a long rap sheet until a month or so ago. He only ever beat up gang members and the occasional cop, but then he did some work for the police and got his record cleaned." Bob stated making them frown. "Furthermore, his record in boxing was unheard of: Out of 106 fights, 76 won by knockouts, 26 by TKOs, and one by decision." Bob stated making them all raise their eyebrows in surprise.

"Damn. At least he lost three." Mitch stated and Bob nodded.

"Yes, two to the same fighter, a young man named Jugo Murasaki. One by decision and the other by knockout. The third was an unheard of occurrence, he and his opponent punched each other at the same time at such strength that they were both knocked out and the match was declared a tie." Bob stated making them widen their eyes.

"Well, even still, John's got this in the bag." Stennis stated and Gillon frowned.

"You know what those records don't show?" Gillon asked and the trio frowned and shook their heads. "All the cash fighting he's done since then. You said yourself that he was a criminal, there's a whole lot of places that a fighter can make money illegally and still keep fighting. This young man, was capable of knocking people unconscious with a single blow. I consider any person, no matter their age or how long they've gone without training or practicing, a threat and one that should be taken seriously. Last thing I'm gonna do is risk one of the boys getting seriously hurt or embarrassed because we didn't take this seriously." Gillon stated knowing his own boy Robby wanted to get in the ring both for his own payback and to get his corvette back.

The trio nodded understanding that such a person was a threat and they needed to ensure the fighters took it seriously and know that they couldn't mess around.

They all had something to lose if Gillon lost, though if he lost too much then they had nothing to lose.

MEANWHILE: OUTSIDE OF DIGGSTOWN

Naruto was walking with Fitz, Roy, and Gabe on a piece of farmland while Fitz waved and called out to a man working. "Ben!" The man stopped working and came over, "This Gabriel Caine, Roy Palmer, and Naruto Uzumaki." Fitz introduced as they all shook hands. "Ben is not what you call one of Gillon's most ardent fans. He's the only one in town, besides Gillon, that still owns his own land." Fitz stated and Gabe nodded.

"How'd you manage that, Ben?" Gabe asked and Ben snorted.

"While everybody else was trying to get rich off of Diggs' last fight, I went fishing." Ben stated as they walked towards a barn. "It was a real bad time here. Folks lost farms that been in the family for generations, it really hurt a lot of people bad." Ben stated as they entered the barn showing a ring and workout equipment along with a poster advertising one of Diggs' fights. "Here it is. The very ring that Charlie Diggs himself trained in. I fixed it up just the way you asked for it." Ben stated as he looked around.

"What's it doing here?" Roy asked and Ben smiled.

"Diggs used to work for me. He just asked for a space where him and his buddies could practice. The gym didn't come along till Diggs started making a name for himself and money was flowing into the town. When he got his own money, he bought a place over on the river. He still lives there." Ben stated as Naruto and Roy looked around.

"Charles Macum Diggs." Roy stated feeling very nostalgic at being here. "I hear he's kind of a vegetable now." Roy stated and Ben shrugged slightly.

"Oh, he's got his moments. Mostly he sits in his chair staring out at nothing. That fight really did a number on him, but he pulled through and won it in the end." Ben stated making Roy and Naruto nod.

LATER

Naruto was out for a run around town wearing a baggy sweat shirt and hoody along with sweat pants and trainer sneakers. It was both to clear his head and to get a slight workout in before the real training began. As he was running though, he paused as he came near a gorgeous blonde woman walking some dogs. As he ran towards her, the dogs stopped and looked at him before they came towards him barking and growling making the woman shout in surprise as she was pulled before Naruto got closer, "Stop!" Naruto stated holding his hands up causing the dogs to halt, "Sit." Naruto ordered making them obey, "Now stay." Naruto continued making the dogs obey as he walked up.

"Wow, never seen anyone do that. Usually these dogs don't obey anyone other than me and my brother." The woman stated as Naruto looked her over seeing she was a cream skinned, blue eyed, blonde bombshell with EE-F cup tits, big bubble butt, and slim yet fit figure while wearing mini jean shorts, a blouse that was tied in a Daisy Duke knot, and a black bra that was peaking out from her shirt.

All in all, she was hot.

"Yeah well, I always had a way with animals." Naruto stated as he noticed the woman looking him over. "Name's Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto stated as he offered his hand and the woman smiled and shook it.

"Emily Forrester." The now named Emily stated shaking his hand. "So, you and your partners are the ones that the town's been talking about." Emily stated and Naruto chuckled.

"Brains to go along with the looks. Though to be fair, does it matter to you that we are betting and facing John Gillon? From what I understand, a lot of people don't like him or his influence." Naruto stated and Emily smiled at him at least not trying to pass it off as a coincidence.

"Yeah, well, Mr. Gillon doesn't exactly play nice unless you do what he wants." Emily stated as she pulled the dogs and Naruto waved them on.

"Well, he may lose a good chunk of money betting against me. Nobody ever wins a bet against me if my own money is at stake too." Naruto stated making Emily smile.

"Surprised you haven't asked what I was doing later. Every man does at some point because of my looks." Emily stated and Naruto laughed.

"Well, I can't blame them, but I'm not the one who usually asks, plus I don't know how long I'll be in town. No sense starting something and then I gotta leave when Gillon gets pissed." Naruto stated making Emily smile in amusement.

"Well, enjoy your stay, Mr. Uzumaki." Emily stated and Naruto smiled and nodded before he continued his run.

"See you around." Naruto stated as he ran off as Emily watched him go.

"Well, at least there's something nice to look at now." Emily stated with a smirk as she kept walking with her brother's dogs knowing that Naruto was fit just based on how the clothing sat.

Naruto kept running before arriving at the gym and entered before heading up to the manager office where Gabe and Fitz were working out the rules with Gillon and his posse. Naruto watched as they were bickering before Gillon slapped his hand down, "Diggstown IS Olivair County." Gillon stated and Gabe smirked.

"A day IS 24 hours." Gabe stated as Gillon sighed and pressed his thumb against his head before noticing Naruto there.

"Something we can do for you, son?" Gillon asked and Naruto shrugged.

"Just figured if I'm going to be fighting in your town, I might as well know what the rules are going to be." Naruto stated making the four locals widen their eyes slightly as Naruto sat on the couch nearby and poured himself a drink.

Gillon shook off his surprise and turned to Gabe, "Mr. Caine, my son and his friend are trying desperately to regain some of their honor, and his car. And while I admire their courage and willingness to fight, I worry a great deal about their safety. They're still boys, let them wear the head gear. Just those two. And you can have your 24-hour day. However, Diggstown is in Olivair County, and any man residing in the county is a Diggstown man." Gillon stated and Naruto smirked as he drank his glass.

Gabe thought about it before he tapped his glass and smirked, "I'll tell you what." Gabe stated making Gillon look at him, "Any man residing in the county line TODAY and can prove it, is a Diggstown man. However, I'm feeling generous, so if you agree a 4 hour window break that isn't part of the 24 hours, I'll agree to let you bring in any three boxers from outside the county line. Just in the off chance my fighter needs to get looked at by a doctor and it doesn't count against his day of fighting." Gabe stated since he and Naruto had talked about this at length to ensure they had time to plan or think if something happened.

"Why Mr. Caine, you don't think I'd stoop to bringing in a team of ringers, do you?" Gillon stated with a smile as he slid the bottle of bourbon to Gabe, who caught it and flicked the cap off before pouring a glass.

"Not now I don't, but if you don't want three fighters that you can make Diggstown men, then fine." Gabe stated and Gillon laughed.

"No, I'll take you up on that, Mr. Caine. A four hour break of your choosing and I can call in any three fighters I please from outside the county line." Gillon stated finding the deal to be satisfactory especially since he could exploit some loopholes to get him whatever he needed for the fights.

Gabe nodded with the group agreeing to sign the documents later before Naruto continued his run.

DAYS LATER

The days rolled on with Naruto training in various ways that would make someone think he was impersonating Rocky Balboa and helping Ben around the farm for extra exercise. Naruto was already in shape, now he had to get back into boxing shape while not losing any of his finesse.

As he was doing his mile run, Buster was hidden away taking photos and holding a stopwatch before he turned and saw Gabe there. Buster looked at him a moment before smiling, "Hey Gabe." Buster stated seeing his friend and Gabe smiled.

"What's his time for the mile, Buster?" Gabe asked and Buster checked his stopwatch.

"6 minutes, 8 seconds." Buster stated and Gabe nodded.

"How about you put down… 8:20." Gabe stated and Buster laughed before he nodded and wrote it down knowing he had to give Gillon some "intel" on Naruto as he trained.

"Will do, I'll also see about that lineup." Buster stated and Gabe nodded before patting his shoulder and walking back to his car.

Naruto meanwhile continued his run and had another run in with Emily and the dogs and the woman talked with him as they walked with the dogs enjoying themselves. Lai and Nanette were in L.A. at Naruto's request so that Gillon couldn't try to use them if he saw the bet was going bad. The two understood, but had stated they'd be in town for the fights along with a couple of the others. Naruto didn't mind, since Tenten being here would ensure that they had some protection, just so long as they kept to themselves and didn't trust anyone.

However, right now he was talking with Emily, just talking and nothing more as he kept his workout going.

Later on, Naruto was in the barn practicing with Gabe holding the punching mitts while Roy was there coaching, "Dip your shoulder, come on, Buster says he dips every time." Roy stated as Naruto kept hitting Gabe's hands with Gabe trying to not flinch as Naruto still had some monster strength.

However, there was something on Naruto's mind, "I saw Diggs the other day, what did Gillon do?" Naruto stated and Gabe tried to avoid the subject. "Gabe. I'm already wanting to break this guy after other shit I found out, tell me what he did since it will just motivate me even more to beat his boys." Naruto stated seriously and Gabe sighed.

"He doped him in the last fight, wanted to make a killing instead of going for the title since all the odds were on the opponent. Shot him up with amyl nitrate between rounds. He knew Diggs would never take the fall, so he put the dope in his nasal spray." Gabe stated making Naruto scoff in disgust since that kind of drug getting a straight shot to your brain and nervous system was like jabbing a needle of heroin into your neck. "How that man went the distance, is anyone's guess, but his brain didn't." Gabe stated making Naruto frown before he got out of the ring and went over to the weight bag and began to bland blow after blow on it.

"There's the fighter." Roy stated knowing that Naruto was way too motivated to let anyone beat him now. Gabe wouldn't even need to try and fix the fights in Naruto's favor at this rate.

Naruto then turned as Fitz came in carrying some groceries and looked around a bit, "Uh, everything okay?" Fitz asked and they all nodded.

"Yeah, just a little motivation to win, you see Buster?." Naruto stated making Fitz nod as he came over with a list.

"Yeah, went great. Buster says he can lay a whammy on four guys, suggests we approach the Busby brothers direct." Fitz stated making them nod as Roy handed towels and water to Naruto and Gabe.

"Buy them." Gabe stated making Fitz nod. "Good, that leaves 9 fights that aren't fixed and at least half of those we won't know what's coming until the fight while two of those are the high-schoolers with head gear." Gabe stated before Naruto looked and saw Emily standing there and sighed.

"Give me a minute to clean up, please?" Naruto asked and Emily nodded as Naruto sighed and followed her before getting into his rental truck and drove them back to his place before cleaning up and then driving Emily back to hers. "Look, your brother told Gabe some things and it's what got us to come here. We aren't ripping off everyone, just Gillon because of some things he's done. Just wait till your brother gets home before you pass judgement and everything, okay?" Naruto asked since Gabe had explained that Emily's brother Wolf was the reason they even had a con to play to begin with.

Emily scoffed and looked out the window as they drove before pausing at a railroad crossing since a train was going by. The two then looked and frowned as a hearse honked and pulled up to the station that was there.

Naruto and Emily looked at each other in confusion before heading over to see what was going on and started hearing murmurings and cries of it being Wolf causing Emily to freeze before running over with Naruto quickly following her. Emily arrived to see Wolf dead and naked in a box having been shot a few times causing her to scream and run inside the building with Naruto following her.

Emily turned towards him with tears in her eyes, "Why is my brother dead?" Emily asked and Naruto looked as surprised as she was shocked.

"I don't know." Naruto stated as Emily hit his chest.

"You know something! Tell me or I swear I will go out there and tell all those people how you're going to fix that fight." Emily stated hysterically before Naruto grabbed her shoulders.

"I don't know why he is dead! I swear to God, I don't. He couldn't have been trying to escape. Nobody runs when they only have a week left in their sentence." Naruto stated before pausing and a look of realization came to him.

"What?" Emily asked and Naruto cursed and punched the wall. "What is it?" Emily asked and Naruto sighed.

"I don't think Wolf was ever supposed to come home." Naruto stated making her look at him in shock and confusion. "He found out something by accident that he wasn't supposed to know: Gillon fixed Diggs' last fight. Then, before he even knew what he had learned, he was suddenly the county drug lord and was shipped off to prison without another word. He didn't tell you because if they could frame him and ship him off without anyone suspecting, then what would they do to you?" Naruto stated making Emily tear up more and look away as they loaded Wolf into the hearse. "Emily, we need your help. We needed someone who could find out how much money Gillon actually has. Wolf was going to ask, he was a partner in this as payback to Gillon and to set you and him up with a life you both could enjoy." Naruto stated making Emily sniff.

"They're not even going to bury him right." Emily stated and Naruto smiled sadly.

"Not if I have anything to say about it." Naruto stated making Emily smile slightly.

A few days later had Naruto and company at the funeral with the town completely covered in flowers while a church choir sang. Naruto said nothing as he let Emily be to grieve and decide what she was going to do. After the funeral, Fitz was going to go see the Busby brothers while Naruto wanted Fitz to stress hiding the money till after Gillon lost since Gillon was a spiteful son of a bitch and would likely do something drastic if he thought one of his boys turned on him.

After all that, Naruto was back to training and getting into fighting shape while also visiting Diggs when he passed by and telling him he'd make Gillon pay for what the bastard had done.

Naruto swore he saw the smallest twitch of a smile on Diggs' face when he said that.

NIGHT OF THE FIGHT

Naruto was cleaning up and getting ready as he shaved down the scruff that was starting to come to his face and trimmed his hair to ensure it stayed out of his face during the fight. Now it was just the waiting game as his and Gabe's friend Fish came in laughing and hugged Naruto. Fish was his quick medic and checker in and out of the ring for the duration of the fight. Naruto was also ensuring he was loose and ready to fight since Gabe had ensured that the fights started at 12:01 AM since it was technically when the day started and it would tire out some of the fighters.

Naruto then turned as Gabe came in while Fish and Roy were working his hands and taping them up while Fitz was ensuring the water and mouth guard weren't tampered with. "Hey Fish, how's New York?" Gabe asked closing and locking the door.

"Snooze fest compared to tonight. You boys have outdone yourselves. And I know the drill, eyes open and cuts closed and we all go home rich." Fish stated as he ensured Naruto's hands were as protected as allowed since one bad punch and Naruto would be fighting with a handicap.

"Yeah well, things are going to get big, Gillon and I just did a personal bet of another $300,000. Plus, Emily came and saw me, Gillon's got $17.85 Million in currency and then he's got all the surrounding property because he put everyone else's money on Diggs' last opponent." Gabe said looking at Naruto knowing that this was essentially his show now.

"Then let's gut the bastard." Naruto stated smirking with Fitz and Roy nodding along and Gabe did too.

"All right." Gabe stated before handing Fitz a piece of paper, "Buster got the starting five. I figure Gillon will wait and see how they go before he picks the rest of the order and even then the last of them will be a surprise occurrence, especially since a few don't have to be from nearby." Gabe stated knowing Naruto wanted that to get Gillon cocky and bring in some heavy hitters that would be a guaranteed win for him thus he'd bet more and more. "I figure he'll give his local boys the first shot since if his ringers don't fight then he doesn't have to pay them as much." Gabe stated making them nod as Fitz looked over the list.

"Looks good, Buck's the only real fight for this group, right?" Fitz stated and Gabe nodded.

"Yup, Buster brought a bimbo in last night so Billy won't be doing much. Sam gets the brown bottle and Slim and Ham Busby are paid off at the cost of 25 grand. All Naruto has to do is make the bums seem like they got a chance and you can clean up the side action." Gabe stated making Fitz and Naruto nod.

"I know what to do, but if they start pissing me off then I'm dropping them." Naruto stated making Gabe nod since Naruto would only be the punching bag for so long.

"Fair enough." Gabe stated as they finished getting ready before they headed out with Naruto in a black and red robe and black gloves on.

As they walked out, everyone was quiet watching them as they came to the ring and Gabe undid Naruto's robe showing him in black trunks with a red nine tailed fox and a snarling wolf on their legs. Of course, he was also shirtless which caused various women there to shout in happiness, blush, and whistle appreciatively. A few of the men were a bit nervous for the fights counting some of the competitors that were watching given the fact Naruto was muscular and in better shape than half of them.

Naruto also caught sight of Mia, Letty, Tenten, Lai, and Nanette in the stands next to Emily and winked at them as he popped his neck. He also noticed another smaller group in the stands and smirked seeing Red and his three people there since Red always complained that he never got to see Naruto fight much. Naruto nodded towards them before he turned and looked towards Buck as the fight was ready to start.

Naruto rolled his shoulders before approaching Buck with the referee, one that Corsini provided to ensure the fight was fair, went over the rules, "All right fellas, clean fight. No low blows, go to your neutral corner when I do a count, break up the scuffle if I tell you, and return to your corner each bell ring. Now touch gloves, go to your corner, and come out swinging." The referee listed off as Buck and Naruto hit their gloves before heading back to their corners.

Naruto waited till the bell rang and approached Buck with his gloves up and ready. "Boo!" Naruto exclaimed while lunging a bit making Buck jump back and tense causing Naruto to scoff as he ducked a haymaker from Buck and gave an uppercut that staggered him before a quick two punch combo pushed Buck back further.

Buck frowned and retaliated as he landed a jab to Naruto's face before landing a body shot only to take a right cross that sent him back again. Buck did another haymaker that Naruto slapped aside before blocking a jab-jab-left cross combo and gave him a body blow for good measure.

The two then had to step back as the bell rang and Naruto sat in his corner, "How's he feel?" Gabe asked as he gave Naruto some water.

"Doable, though he could get lucky, it's always possible to get lucky." Naruto stated and Gabe frowned.

"Not what I wanted to hear." Gabe stated and Naruto smirked.

"Yeah, but since I'm taking all the punches, you can take some of the anxiety." Naruto stated making Roy laugh as Naruto stood and went out against Buck again, letting him get a couple more shots before Naruto hit him with a left-right-jab-uppercut combo that sent Buck down to the mat.

Up in the stands, a few of the girls were frowning in confusion, "Why did Naruto let him get those hits in? It was clear he could have dodged or blocked them." Letty asked since it was clear to her that Naruto had to stop himself from moving out of the way.

Tenten smirked, "See the guy taking side bets? He's with Naruto and them. If Naruto does too well, then people won't bet as much but if it looks like Naruto is struggling, then people are more confident in betting against him or the opponent going so many rounds." Tenten explained since she had been with Naruto during some of his boxing career and the prize fighting he had done afterwards.

The girls nodded in understanding as they turned back to see Buck get up with a bloody nose and shook his head a few times to clear the cobwebs. However, as soon as the ref was clear, Naruto was on him and delivered a right haymaker that sent him right back to the mat.

Naruto backed up as the ref started counting before declaring Buck out of the fight causing some cheering as Naruto went back to his corner and Gabe went for some more bait. "My compliments, Fitz, guy is everything you said he'd be." Gabe stated while both knew Naruto hadn't even begun to fight.

"Yeah, he's a real slugger." Fitz stated as Gillon laughed.

"He sure is, very impressive. But uh, I'm still confident enough that I'm willing to double our side bet." Gillon stayed and Gabe grinned.

"Done! Makes it $600,000." Gabe stated full of confidence as Gillon laughed.

"The man can add." Gillon stated to Bob, who was sitting beside him.

Gabe merely scoffed before going back over to Naruto as Slim Busby got in the ring and Naruto noted how he seemed nervous and hoped the guy would be able to sell the fight or they were in for some other problems.

Naruto met Slim in the middle and threw a punch that Slim dodged and kept moving around the ring rather than fight. "What's the matter? Too scared to fight?" Naruto mocked hoping Slim would get the message.

Thankfully he seemed to as he launched a few jabs and a right cross that Naruto ducked and landed a body blow to him before Slim started blocking Naruto's punches. Slim then leaned to the left and hit Naruto in the ribs before delivering a left cross and a jab before Naruto retaliated by a right haymaker sending Slim into the ropes.

However, before Naruto could continue, the bell rang signaling the end of the round and Naruto stepped back to his corner. He also noticed Gillon frowning a bit and noted to keep an eye on him. "Nice job, kid was giving a pathetic performance before you got him going." Gabe stated knowing that not only was the side business bad, but Gillon would have suspected something was up.

"Yeah, I'll let the kid go another round, then I'll drop him in the third." Naruto stated making Gabe nod since Slim needed to sell it enough that Gillon didn't try to get payback later.

When the round started again, Naruto met Slim and ducked a right cross before coming up with an uppercut to his solar plexus before his own right cross hit Slim sending him to the mat. Naruto backed up as Slim got to his knees and shook his head to clear it before he stood up and nodded to the ref before the two met and Slim got a few quick jabs to Naruto's face before delivering a few gut shots before Naruto hit him with a haymaker making Slim stumble back before he came back and started throwing blow after blow at Naruto, who guarded against them and ducked and weaved to the side before he started connecting glove to glove with Slim. Slim got in an uppercut just before the bell rang and Naruto went back to his corner rolling and moving his jaw as he spat a little blood in a bucket.

"Okay, put him down, it's starting to look like he's not sticking to the deal." Gabe stated and Naruto shook his head.

"Nah, those hits aren't anything really. He's pulling back slightly before he connects so he's hitting but not at his best." Naruto stated making Gabe nod since Naruto was the one watching Slim the closest.

As the bell for the round rung, Naruto came out more aggressively and started hitting Slim more before a left-right-gut-uppercut combo sent Slim to the mat causing Gillon to frown as the ref counted.

With Slim declared out, Gillon left the arena for few minutes as Slim was helped out while Robby Gillon's friend Billy got in the ring wearing a sparring helmet and warmed up for the fight.

Naruto merely rolled his neck and shoulders before going at the younger man when the bell rung. Naruto struck with a right cross before an uppercut-gut shot followed and then several jabs to the face. Billy quickly moved away and shook his head to clear it as he stared at his older opponent.

Naruto sidestepped a jab, leaned back from a roundhouse, and ducked a haymaker before he jabbed the younger man's exposed midsection and took a jab to the face before a left hook caught him followed by an uppercut. Naruto leaned back to avoid the follow up punch and then ducked another swing before swatting an uppercut away just before the bell rang.

Naruto went back to his corner and sat, "Feels like I'm punching a training bag with that head gear or some wannabe Darth Vader." Naruto stated and Roy chuckled as he splashed him with some water to get the sweat off while Naruto noticed Gillon back in his seat.

"Yeah well, he's not in top form so you could consider him a training dummy." Gabe stated making Naruto shrug as the next round started.

Naruto ducked a swing and delivered four rapid body blows to Billy's solar plexus and then uppercutted him hard enough to send him to the mat. Naruto stepped back as the ref started counting and Billy got up at 7 and the ref looked concerned. "Are you sure about this, kiddo?" The ref asked and Billy nodded.

"He's right bud, you can walk away proud." Naruto stated only to duck a wild swing.

"Fuck you bitch!" Billy shouted throwing another punch only for Naruto to catch the arm and give him a blow to his gut that forced him to gasp in pain as he spat out his mouthguard and fell to his knees as Naruto walked away and the ref finished counting.

Naruto sat in his corner as Gillon was frowning more. "Man, those gut shots are the worst. The WORST." Fish stated and Naruto smirked.

"Not sure on that, Fish, Sam's next remember?" Naruto asked making Fish and the others laugh a bit as Gabe walked over to Gillon.

"Send your next boy up, if you got any more willing." Gabe asked making Gillon laugh a bit.

"Oh, I think there's still plenty of hands steady enough we can get gloves on. What about you're boy, Mr. Caine?" Gillon asked rhetorically, "You ready to sign another bank draft?" Gillon asked and Gabe nodded with confidence. "You know, your Wildfire Uzumaki, he's quite a talent and inspiration. I'm so inspired, I'm willing to up our bet to an even 1.5 million dollars." Gillon stated and Gabe looked at him in interest.

"$1.5 million? Must have some heavy duty tanks ready to bring in, but, considered me inspired." Gabe stated as he signed the drafts and passed them back to Victor's banker.

Gabe went back to their corner just as Sam took his corner and took a big gulp of the water making Gabe smirk knowing Buster had already been giving him tainted water the whole time he was waiting to come out. "You owe me after this, Gabe, I'm the one who has to be up close and personal with him while he's going." Naruto stated as Sam was farting like mad and Buster was covering his face with a towel so he could breathe knowing the farts were going to turn into something worse soon enough.

"Yeah, but first you gotta win." Gabe stated making Naruto snort before he came out and began hitting Sam with some body shots, which triggered more gas before a hard punch to the gut caused Sam to stumble back to the ropes and start to lose control of his bowels and release even more gas. Naruto backed up fanning in front of his face while noticing Gillon was gone again.

He turned back to the ring as Sam took off running, no doubt needing to get to the bathroom badly.

Naruto took his seat in the corner and a few minutes passed before Gillon came back and sat in his seat before Ham Busby came out and he looked pissed and ready to fight. Of course, the fact that he looked so angry made Naruto narrow his eyes and he flexed his hands in his gloves. He then looked and caught Tenten's eye before eyeing the hallway and Tenten gave a discreet nod before she went over to Dembe and whispered something making him nod as they went and stood by the hallway to Gillon's locker room.

Naruto then went against Ham and the two started trading blows with Ham swinging wildly and attacking fiercely not letting up at all as Naruto ducked and weaved through before Naruto got Ham against the corner in a lock, "Hey man, what did Gillon do? Tell me and I can help." Naruto grunted as Ham snarled.

"Slim." Ham mumbled before he pushed Naruto back and punched him with a right cross that Naruto retaliated with a haymaker making Ham stumble as the two kept connecting blows before they had to back up as the bell rung.

"What's going on?" Gabe asked and Naruto spit out his mouthguard.

"Gillon's got Slim cornered, if Ham doesn't fight then I'm guessing Slim's dead." Naruto stated making Gabe curse before Naruto looked at Tenten and motioned towards the locker room making her and Dembe nod before they slipped into the hallway while everyone was focused on the fighters.

Naruto took some water before he got up to fight Ham again knowing Tenten and Dembe could handle whatever was in the locker room.

In the hallway, Tenten and Dembe slowly approached the door to the last locker area with Tenten having a knife handy and Dembe having a silenced pistol. Tenten then wedged the knife into the door and jiggled it slowly letting the door open quietly. Slim looked towards the door and Tenten held up a finger telling him to be quiet as she and Dembe came in seeing that Slim was bound, gagged, and had a noose around his neck.

Seeing someone sitting in a corner with a revolver in hand, Tenten smirked since the idiot made sure to sit where he couldn't see the door and Tenten motioned Slim to close his eyes, which he did, before Tenten closed the door and Dembe shot the guard in the hand and leg making him fall and scream. Luckily, because of the roaring crowd upstairs, there was no way for anyone to hear before Dembe quickly shot him in the head silencing him.

Dembe nodded to Tenten and grabbed the man's body before dragging him out the back way knowing a dumpster would be there while Tenten cut Slim free. "You all right?" Tenten asked and Slim nodded. "Good, get dressed and then head out there to let your brother know you're all right. He's fighting wildly right now and is gonna get hurt if Naruto has to start beating on him." Tenten stated making Slim widen his eyes before he nodded and went to his locker while Tenten left and slipped back into her seat. She waved the girls off since she wasn't going to talk about it in front of a crowd while Dembe came in through the front and returned to his seat with the revolver tucked away safely in his pocket after he spoke to Paulo about Gillon's actions.

Paulo assured him that Victor would ensure Gillon knew that bodies piling up would not be tolerated.

Ham meanwhile was breathing hard against the ropes as Naruto was hitting him and taking hits to buy some time. However, as the next round was starting, Ham paused hearing a voice. "It's all good, bro!" Slim shouted surprising Gillon at him being there while Ham relaxed visibly and let Naruto just take him down with a right hook.

The ref counted him out and Ham merely crawled out of the ring with Slim there to support him as both glanced at Gillon knowing they needed to be careful and possibly get out of town. Lucky for them, Naruto already had that covered for them as he looked to Red and then motioned to the brothers with Red nodding since he'd ensure they didn't turn up in a ditch somewhere.

Naruto then turned towards Gillon and held his gloved hands up with his palms towards himself, "Hey Gillon!" Naruto shouted making the man look at him while a lot of others did too, "Guess which two fingers I'm holding up." Naruto stated pushing his arms out making Gillon frown while other laughed or "OOOOOHHHHH" while Naruto's group laughed.

Gabe then went over to Gillon still laughing, "Want to take a break to collect your thoughts and plan out what you're going to do for the rest of your line up?" Gabe asked smirking cockily as Gillon frowned before smiling.

"I think that's an excellent idea Mr. Caine. Is this gonna be that break you added to the wager?" Gillon asked and Gabe shrugged.

"Sure, Naruto took some blows to the head so why not." Gabe stated as he waved the others off and Gillon motioned to the announcer, who promptly explained to everyone that there was going to be a break for a few hours before the fights would resume making many file out while Naruto went to the locker room to change and rest a bit as well as see the others.

Naruto came out of the gym and smiled seeing Red, "I should have guessed you'd come." Naruto stated causing Red to laugh as he hugged Naruto before said blonde shook Newton's hand and hugged Dembe before kissing Luli.

"Well, I never got to see you fight when you were younger, so I thought why not? Plus, if you win as big as I think you will, this town could be a good hub for distribution and hiding people." Red stated and Naruto nodded since a small town like this would do wonders for pot and coca growers as well as distribution and storage.

If Naruto was more active in the drug trade, this place would do wonders especially since you were close to Florida and the Carolinas, meaning you could ship it out by boat and truck easily. Plus, Diggstown was a little hole in the wall town that no one paid attention to.

In a different universe, one Nicholas St. Patrick, the Vampire/Werewolf Hybrid Kingpin of New York and the Supernatural, sneezed violently and wondered who was talking about him before he shrugged and continued having sex with his wife Stephanie and his side bitches.

"True enough, but keep it marginal since you don't want to draw a ton of attention here." Naruto stated making Red nod while laughing at Luli rubbing her hands on Naruto's chest.

"Fair point, though I think I'll leave you and Luli to reconnect." Red stated making the other two smirk before they left while Luli was still groping Naruto.

"You left France before I could get some alone time." Luli stated with a pout and Naruto smirked.

"Yeah well, friends call for help and I go running." Naruto stated before he kissed her cheek as the other girls came over, "Luli, you remember Tenten." Naruto stated making Luli nod as she and Tenten shook hands with smiles before kissing each other on the cheek. "The other beautiful ladies are Letty Ortiz, Mia Toretto, Lai, Nanette Musette, and Emily Forrester." Naruto introduced with Luli shaking their hands.

"Luli is one of the best money managers and financial people in the world, both for normal people and those looking to move funds covertly." Tenten stated making the others nod including Emily since she already guessed that Naruto wasn't just some boxer.

Luli then smirked at him, "So, how many of these ladies are you sleeping with?" Luli asked making Naruto raise an eyebrow at her while the women blushed a bit with widened eyes.

"Not exactly a conversation you have in public, Luli." Naruto stated and Luli smirk.

"Consider it payback for leaving France so quickly before I even got a turn." Luli stated as she kissed his cheek.

Tenten smirked, "Well, if you must know, I haven't gotten any in years, Letty isn't interested in him in that way, and Emily here is probably still in the "curious" stage." Tenten stated making Luli smirk and nod as Letty shrugged and Emily blushed.

"Ladies, much as I'm sure you would enjoy comparing sexual notes on me, I want to relax and get some food before the fights resume." Naruto stated making them all nod.

"I know that hon, but after your game is done, you're going to be naked in a bed with me even if I have to drag you there and tie you down." Luli stated and Naruto saw Mia, Nanette, Lai, and Tenten all eyeing him lustfully causing him to sigh with a smirk.

"Yeah, I figured that." Naruto stated as they walked off to get something to eat and talk.

HOURS LATER

Naruto was loosening up in the locker room with Fish and Roy as Fitz was going over the side bets he had before Gabe came in, "Hey, Buster get you the second of the local line up?" Fitz asked and Gabe nodded.

"Yeah, Sonny's up first but he's all show. Robby Gillon's afterwards and we know what he's about. Then it's Frank, Tank, and then some mystery guys. That's 10 fights in 9 hours." Gabe stated while heading to a locker to grab Fish some towels.

However, when Gabe opened the door to the locker, he was shocked and horrified to see Buster there beat up, bound, and gagged, "OH JESUS! Buster! Buster!" Gabe shouted causing the others to look and rush over to help get Buster lying down.

Gabe got the gag off while Naruto undid the bindings before looking at Gabe and headed for the managers office where Gillon and his trio were with Robby, Victor, and Victor's crew. "Okay, you piece of shit, you want to bet? Then let's bet!" Naruto shouted slamming his hands on the table scaring everyone as it actually shook and cracked a bit, "I need $20 million, Victor, $20 million so I can gut this son of a bitch when it's over." Naruto stated and Victor looked at Gillon before looking back at Naruto and raised his hands before nodding. "That's it, me and you, Gillon, all in, everything on the table. Now, you got any balls or did you pawn those off too?" Naruto asked and Gillon scoffed.

"Well, you've certainly become less friendly, Mr. Uzumaki." Gillon stated and Naruto merely looked at him.

"If you were worth a damn, I'd continue to be polite, but you're not. So, are you in or out?" Naruto asked and Gillon clicked his tongue.

"That's quite a sum of money, Mr. Uzumaki, it's just a little more than what I have." Gillon stated and Naruto cracked his knuckles as he stood there.

"Then throw in the property you own in town, and we'll call it even." Naruto stated making Gillon frown while Robby looked confused.

"You certainly seem to know a lot about my financial situation, Mr. Uzumaki." Gillon stated and Naruto scoffed.

"What I know about you, Mr. Gillon, would make Charles Macum Diggs get up and walk." Naruto stated making Gillon click his teeth.

"$20 million… would take someone with a big set of balls to bet that." Gillon stated looking at Naruto, "Mitch, go ahead over to the bank and bring me my safety deposit box." Gillon stated making Mitch take off to do just that. "I'll accept your wager, Mr. Uzumaki… of Mr. Corsini's money of course." Gillon stated with a mocking smile.

"Unlike you, Mr. Gillon, I have nothing to worry about." Naruto stated as he walked away back to the locker room to warm up.

A while later, Newton came to the door and knocked and Naruto let him in before motioning to the bandaged Buster. "I need someone to take him to the hospital and watch him." Naruto stated and Newton nodded before Ham and Slim came in and helped carefully lift Buster while nodding to Naruto as they followed Newton out and would watch over Buster while at the hospital.

Naruto was the first into the ring this time and those that knew him could tell that he wasn't playing around anymore. Naruto merely blocked out the announcer making a big shouting statement about Sonny coming into the arena and said guy being a big showboat. Naruto didn't care, he already told Fitz to get bets as fast as he could because he was breaking the fools now.

Naruto then approached the center of the ring with Sonny taking a drag of the coach's cigar before approaching and blowing smoke in Naruto's face while Naruto just looked at him still clenching and releasing his hands. Once the bell rang, Naruto just walked straight out to Sonny and slammed a right hook into his face sending him flat to the mat in an instant while knocking the mouthguard and a couple teeth out and Naruto cracked his neck before looking at the ref, "Bring me the next one." Naruto stated as he went back to his corner and watched as Gillon went over to Robby to talk to him. Naruto couldn't tell what was said, but it looked clear that Robby didn't agree with it.

He then watched as Robby came out and stood just outside the ropes and looked at him before looking at Gillon and then walking away causing Naruto to frown while Fitz came up. "What was that about?" Fitz asked and the others all shrugged.

"Survival, I guess. One less fight regardless." Gabe said before Naruto shook his head.

"Nope. I still got 9 more fights." Naruto stated making them frown.

"The kid just forfeited." Gabe stated and Naruto shook his head.

"He never got in the ring, therefore that's not a forfeit. You have to enter the ring to be classified as an opponent, which means Robby was just for show. Gillon probably did that to give us a false sense of security and when the fight we thought was last came, I'd go all out and be too exhausted for the real one." Naruto stated making them frown and nod before Fitz looked at his notes.

"Who's up?" Fitz asked as Frank came into the ring.

"The guy who kicked your ass in the bar." Gabe stated and Fitz smiled and waved.

"Rip his balls off." Fitz stated making Naruto smirk as the match started and Naruto caught Frank's arm as he tried a right hook before Naruto then delivered three hard body blows to his solar plexus, a right cross to the face, a backhand, and then an uppercut that sent Frank to the mat spitting up some blood as Naruto went to the neutral corner and waited. Frank got up at count 8 and Naruto delivered a double jab-left hook-right roundhouse-left cross-uppercut combo that sent Frank into the ropes. Naruto held him back and delivered multiple right hooks before delivering a haymaker that sent Frank down to the mat with his mouthpiece flying out.

Naruto stepped back as Frank tried to get up before falling back at the 9 and then being called out.

Returning to his corner, he took some water and rolled his shoulders seeing the big guy named Tank stepping into the ring. "Tank, 286.5 pounds of Tank." Gabe stated and Naruto nodded before he went out as the bell rang, not at all intimidated by Tank pointing at him in anger.

Naruto ducked several swings before he stayed low and began delivering a series of body blows to Tank's ribcage causing Tank to back step into the ropes before Naruto did a leaping uppercut as he jumped while delivering it giving more power. He then whipped around and delivered a backhand with his left followed by a roundhouse with his right that sent Tank down.

Naruto stepped back as Tank got up at the 5 and was met with Naruto hitting him again and again in the face and gut keeping him cornered as Naruto was relentless pounding against Tank and dodging his slow and sloppy punches without letting up before a left cross sent him stumbling before he fell over in a heap.

Naruto shook his arms a bit as the ref checked on Tank and declared him out since he had lost consciousness. Naruto then turned as Gabe moved over to Gillon, "Well, got any more farm boys to send at us or are you pulling in a ringer that we've never seen?" Gabe asked and Gillon chuckled.

"Actually, one of our newer residents is an old acquaintance of Mr. Palmer's." Gillon stated making them frown before a large bald black man came out.

"Who is that?" Gabe asked and Naruto smirked.

"That's Hammerhead Hagan." Roy stated making Gabe look at him.

"Hammerhead Hagan? Your Hammerhead Hagan?" Gabe asked before scoffing, "Get out of here, this guy is one of the ringers." Gabe stated and Gillon shook his head.

"No, the day we signed the agreement that said "anyone residing in the county on this day" was FOUR days after the bet. Mr. Hagan Bass moved here two days before." Gillon stated with Bob giving a receipt and Gabe frowned seeing the address.

"You're telling me you snuck this guy into the basement of my boarding house under my goddamn nose?" Gabe asked and Naruto patted his shoulder.

"It's fine, hurry and get him in the ring." Naruto stated as he rolled his shoulders and waited for Hagan to do his warmup and get ready.

When he was, the two went at each other with them both trading blows since it was clear Hagan was better trained and experienced than the amateur hour that Naruto had just cleared out. A right cross to the face sent Naruto back, but he was able to duck and deliver two hard body hits in return before he delivered a double jab-roundhouse combo that sent Hagan back against the ropes.

The two then stepped back as the bell rang and Naruto got some water splashed on him and took some water as Hagan spit some blood out and gave Naruto a nod of respect before the bell rung and they were back at each other. Naruto took several good hits but gave them right back to Hagan, though it was clear to a lot of people that Naruto wasn't slowing down at all. Naruto then ducked a wild swing before he delivered a jab-jab-uppercut-jab-roundhouse combo to Hagan's head before a hard punch to the gut bent him in half and a hard right cross sent him to the mat as Naruto backed up.

Hagan struggled to get up and managed to at the 8 and lifted his gloves while Naruto was on him in an instant delivering right crosses repeatedly to Hagan's face before a jab-uppercut-jab-jab-jab-left hook-right hook-left cross sent him back to the mat as the crowd was cheering loudly as Hagan was out cold.

Naruto merely looked at Gillon and did a 'bring it' motion with his hands. Gillon merely smirked before two more people came from the locker room. The two were near copies of each other only that one was an adult and one was still a teenager, though late teens by the look of it. Both had green trunks, gloves, and shoes on with bowl shaped black hair cuts, and thick eyebrows.

Gabe seeing them just scoffed as he went over to Gillon, "I suppose their natives too?" Gabe asked incredulously and Gillon laughed and nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Might Guy and his son and chief student Rock Lee have a gym and training center in Olivair County a town over. They are both enthusiastic fighters and Lee is actually a fan of your young Mr. Naruto. When I offered them the chance to fight, well they literally jumped for joy. The two of them have been watching the fights with rapt attention and eagerness." Gillon stated with a smirk on his face as Naruto merely rolled his neck and got ready.

Lee was the first one to get in the ring and he had an excited grin on his face as he was bouncing in place clearly anticipating the fight to start. Naruto merely stood there ready before the bell rang and they approached each other with Lee grinning, "This is so exciting, Naruto-san! I've been dreaming of fighting you for some time now." Lee stated and Naruto merely nodded.

"Congrats, though I hope you won't hold it against me if I take you down since your employer has royally pissed me off." Naruto stated and Lee grinned.

"By all means, fight me as hard as you can." Lee stated only to jerk to his left as Naruto delivered a right cross faster than he could track before it was followed up with an uppercut-jab-roundhouse-jab-jab-left cross that sent him stumbling back.

Lee shook his head to regain his bearings as he looked at Naruto in surprise and awe before he grinned and charged back in with both of them hitting glove to glove, blocking or ducking the other's blows and slipping a blow or two in through the defenses. Neither were backing down or slowing down in the slightest.

At the bell ring, both went back to their corners with Naruto having a busted lip and Lee was already showing some bruising that would be a black eye. Naruto spat some blood out and Lee spit a tooth out into the coach's hand while Guy was giving Lee a pep talk. Naruto couldn't make out anything other than "flames of youth" followed by Guy giving a literal shiny teeth smile.

Naruto merely shook his head and got up to fight Lee again with both trading punches to the other though it was becoming clear that Naruto was striking with more force even after Lee got a double jab-uppercut-double jab-roundhouse-left hook-right hook-left cross combo, Naruto still hadn't hit the mat yet. Lee then went down when Naruto gave him an uppercut-vertical hammerfist-right cross-left hook combo.

Lee struggled to get up, but managed to at the 7 with Guy cheering him on before he gave Naruto a left cross-uppercut-horizontal hammerfist-rapid jab combo with the jabs being aimed at Naruto's midsection. Naruto powered through it though and gave Lee a right cross that sent him stumbling into the ropes before Naruto then began going to town on Lee's midsection with blow after blow before a double uppercut sent Lee bouncing off the ropes and down to the mat as the ref started counting and Naruto stepped back actually taking some deep breaths since those blows to his ribs and gut weren't anything to sneeze at.

Lee tried to get up but he couldn't and was called out as Guy helped his son out of the ring before someone else came from the hall. Said man was dark skinned with short white/silver hair with the kanji for iron on his upper arm. He had a trimmed goatee and was very muscular with black eyes as he got in the ring and showing he was easily over 6 feet tall.

"And who is this guy?" Gabe asked and Gillon smiled.

"This is my first ringer, meet Killer Bee. Part time rapper and longtime fighter. Trains with his big brother and is always up for a fight." Gillon stated as the man got ready before pointing at Naruto.

"Yo blondie, you gonna get bloody, ya know! I rule this ring, come now and here me sing. I'll knock your ass down and then you'll see who owns this town." Bee rapped and Naruto snorted while many just looked at him with sweatdrops.

"Man, you're rhymes are weak while mine fit like a glove. Plus, you've got a face, only a mother could love." Naruto stated making many laugh while Bee just looked at him in shock before smirking.

As the bell rang, Naruto and Bee traded blows going glove to glove against each other. However, any time Naruto tried to press his advantage, Bee would show unnatural flexibility for someone his size and build to dodge, but Naruto saw a problem with it. Naruto leaned back to dodge a double jab before a blow to the gut made Bee back up only for Naruto to do a superman punch that sent Bee stumbling. Naruto was then on him quickly and started delivering multiple jabs and hooks to Bee's face and body.

Roy cheered with a smile since he saw the same thing Naruto did. Bee needed a lot of room to dodge and maneuver, but against the ropes or in the corner, Bee was a slave to his size and strength just like his opponent was. Naruto being faster meant he could dodge better and keep draining Bee's stamina with rapid blows.

The bell ringing made Naruto back up as Bee slumped down in his corner spitting some blood out while taking some breaths as Naruto was hitting his solar plexus pretty hard. Naruto rinsed his mouth before going against Bee again and ignoring the swelling that was coming to his face thanks to an incoming black eye.

The next two rounds was more of the same with Bee having the advantage if he could maneuver but when he couldn't Naruto started beating him down. This continued before Naruto got inside Bee's guard and delivered a rapid combo of hooks and jabs to Bee's midsection before an uppercut-double vertical hammerfist sent Bee crashing to the mat.

Naruto stepped back taking some deep breaths as the ref declared Bee out by the fact he was unconscious.

Looking up, Naruto saw Guy getting in the ring and loosened up before he and Naruto began fighting. Through the next two rounds, Naruto could see the similarities in the fighting style of the father and son, though it was clear that Guy was more refined no doubt from the experience and fights he had. Guy was also faster as Naruto found himself eating a blow to the face before he even realized it had happened, but was quick to adjust and retaliated with a blow to Guy's ribs that he followed up with a back step-uppercut combo to dodge and score another hit.

However, currently, a hard right cross made him turn his head only for it to turn back from a left cross and then snap back from an uppercut. Naruto stumbled back before ducking a right and delivering a right-left-right-uppercut to Guy's ribs before a horizontal hammerfist sent Guy down.

Naruto was panting as he had a cut on his nose and some bruises forming, but Guy was in worse shape as his nose was broken and he was spitting up some blood. The ref reached 10 making many cheer as there were only two fights left in their minds, but Naruto knew there were three so he wasn't relaxing at all.

This proved to be a good idea as he caught sight of the next competitor and glared with a scowl on his face.

The next man that came in was even taller than Bee and had an even larger build with longer hair and goatee. He also had the kanji for iron on his upper left arm while the other arm had a four wheeled shuriken.

Gabe and the others could only look on in shock at the mountain of a man while Gillon had his pleasant smile on his face, "Gentlemen, meet Destroyer A. Strongman and athletic expert that always likes a fight. In fact, I think Mr. Uzumaki's father and A have a bit of a history." Gillon stated as A cracked his neck and got ready for the fight.

Naruto narrowed his eyes since the asshole in front of him had tried to seduce his mother, when that failed he tried to drug her and then blackmail her into being his, only for Naruto's dad to get in the way of the drugging and then gave the man a beatdown. The man never tried something again, but had sworn some payback on him.

At the bell ring the two approached each other, "Thought you'd know better after the beating my father gave you." Naruto stated and A smirked.

"Well he went and got himself killed before I could get my payback, but that just means I can take out that pain and aggression on you." A stated before he delivered a fast right hook that sent Naruto stumbling back from the force of it before A was on him and raining blow after blow on him and Naruto was getting hard pressed to block and counter before the ref made A back up. Naruto shook his head to clear some fog as well wipe some blood trailing down his face. Naruto looked at the smirking A with narrowed his eyes before he advanced on him and dodged a jab before deliver a blow to his ribs that A just laughed off before grabbing Naruto's arm and began delivering uppercut after uppercut into Naruto's torso causing him to spit up more and more blood before a straight shot to his face sent Naruto down to the mat.

Naruto spat some blood on the mat as he got up and shook some cobwebs away before he stood and then ducked a right cross and delivered a double body blow to A before stepping back again. Naruto then relaxed slightly as the bell rang, but A sucker punched him with a right cross sending back down to the mat as everyone in the audience booed and exclaimed their displeasure while the ref gave the bastard a warning but A shrugged it off and went to his corner as Naruto got to his corner panting while Gabe splashed him.

"Naruto! Naruto! Can you hear me?" Gabe shouted as he didn't expect Gillon to bring in this kind of opponent and Naruto nodded at him. "Listen, stop fighting if you have to, I don't want to watch you die." Gabe stated and Naruto shook his head.

"Uh uh, I'm taking this asshole down." Naruto stated before he pushed Gabe out of the way and advanced before he dodged a right cross and uppercut and delivered a right cross-left cross-right roundhouse that made A stumble but he came back immediately with a roundhouse-left hook-jab-jab-uppercut that sent Naruto back to the mat.

Naruto struggled to get up as he was fighting off the fading vision while his body was sore from the pain of the man's hits. "Get up." Naruto shook his head as he thought he heard some voice. "Get up and fight." It stated again making Naruto groan as he got to his knees. "Stop holding back and show this bastard and the others why you're known as Wildfire Maelstrom." The voice stated again Naruto looked around not seeing anyone that could be talking to him before he took a deep breath and stood.

Naruto had his eyes closed taking deep breaths as he rolled his neck and his shoulders while clenching his fists tightly. He then turned to look at A and glared before he walked right towards him. A smirked and threw a punch, only he and everyone else were shocked when Naruto stopped it by grabbing his arm. Naruto growled before he delivered a punch to A's stomach that caused A to hunch over and spit up some bile and blood before Naruto delivered an uppercut that slammed his jaw closed. Naruto pressed the advantage and began raining blow after blow on A's body and face with the man not being able to stop or defend himself as Naruto was roaring with each blow and only seemed to be launching them faster and faster.

Everyone watching could only do so in shock at the turnaround that was occurring, "I must say this is a completely different fighter. I've never seen Naruto fight so viciously and intensely before." Dembe stated getting nods from the others since Red was sitting with the girls.

"I'll say, he's like a machine." Letty stated as Tenten smirked.

"Now you see why they called him Wildfire: when he's unleashed he's impossible to stop, you can only try to contain or survive." Tenten stated knowing Naruto used to fight for survival and kept his violence, anger, and rage contained.

But if someone pushed, and I mean really pushed, then he'd cut loose. He'd take the safety off the gun, so to speak.

Now he was unleashing a lot of that pent up aggression on A while Gillon could only watch on in shock at Naruto destroying his, literal, biggest hitter.

Naruto then reeled back and delivered a monster punch to A's face smashing his nose in and making the man lose his mouthguard before a soaring uppercut slammed his jaw shut and broke a few teeth as well sending A off the ground before Naruto sidestepped when the ropes bounced his body back and he fell to the floor in a heap. The crowd was roaring in approval as the ref checked A and found him unconscious before declaring Naruto the winner.

Naruto panted a bit before returning to his corner as Gabe nodded to him and walked over to Gillon, "Okay, send out your secret weapon." Gabe stated and Gillon stood with a smile.

"Very well, I believe our fighter is an old opponent of Mr. Uzumaki's." Gillon stated before a large, muscular, tanned, young man entered with a head full of fiery red hair that reached his middle back stepped out. His eyes were unique in that they were an orangish-red color.

Gabe looked at Naruto, who looked indifferent, and Roy who was frowning, "Who's that?" Gabe asked and Naruto rolled his neck.

"Jugo 'The Monster' Murasaki." Naruto stated neutrally as he eyed the young man as he got in the ring.

"Oh." Gabe stated concerned while Gillon just smiled.

"Time's wasting, Mr. Caine. Mr. Uzumaki, he's all yours." Gillon stated as he retook his seat and Jugo got ready.

Naruto didn't even flinch as water was splashed on him to clean him off, nor did he flinch as some blood went into his eyes, he just kept looking at Jugo who was grinning. Of course, Gillon, being so cocky and arrogant, didn't see the smirks on Gabe, Roy, Fitz, Tenten, Dembe, Luli, Victor, Paulo, or Red's faces.

When the bell rang, Naruto and Jugo both walked out with their hands down making many frown in confusion and Gillon finally saw the smirk on Gabe's face. He turned back to the ring to see Naruto and Jugo hit glove to glove before the two hugged. As they separated, Naruto punched Jugo across the face sending him to the mat as the ref counted and Gabe walked over with a smirk. "Next time you want to try and bring in a ringer, don't pick the cousin of the man you want beaten." Gabe stated with a smirk since the only reason Naruto "lost" to Jugo was because the money was better to be made on Jugo but the closer the fight was meant the more money for everyone who knew where to bet. However, no one who just looked at the records would know that, they'd just see two losses to Jugo and nothing more.

Gillon scowled as Jugo was declared out and looked at Naruto, who was still gaining his breath back before he looked at Gillon with a smirk and took his corner after fist bumping Jugo again. "So who's your last farm boy?" Gabe asked as Gillon schooled his features and chuckled seeing that Gabe had realized Robby wasn't a forfeit.

"Well, he is a native, but he's certainly not a farm boy. I believe you know him, Mr. Caine." Gillon stated motioning to the hall causing Gabe to turn and look.

Only, when he did, Gabe widened his eyes seeing the warden of his prison, a guard, and a Mexican cartel member named: "Minoso Torres? Minoso Torres?" Gabe asked in shock as he looked at Gillon, who nodded while smiling. "Th-there's no way, no way. Th-the prison is in Windfield!" Gabe stated and Gillon modded.

"Yes, which happens to be in Olivair County." Gillon stated grinning as the warden came up. "I believe you know my old friend, Warden Bates." Gillon stated as the warden smirked at Gabe.

"I told you I would be seeing you again." He stated as he stepped back and nodded to Gillon before he got in his seat.

Naruto just snorted and rolled his shoulders again as he looked at Minoso.

"Let this be a lesson to you, Mr. Caine, never try to hustle a hustler." Gillon stated knowing that Torres was known for destroying any opponent he fought.

Gabe sighed as he came back to Naruto's corner. "So what's the front page on the Mexican?" Roy asked as he rubbed Naruto's shoulders.

"Minoso Torres: Dirty as they come, tough as nails, and takes pain like it's some kind of voodoo mysticism to him. Two weeks ago I watched him cut Wolf Forrester to pieces in a prison fight." Gabe stated and Roy frowned and nodded as Naruto just stared at Minoso.

As the bell rung, Naruto and Minoso began trading blows and connecting glove to glove before a quick right cross sent Naruto off balance and Minoso got him into the corner. Minoso then started swinging wildly in a barrage of punches to Naruto's torso before Naruto brought his elbow down knocking a punch away and throwing Minoso off balance. Naruto then delivered a right-left-right-right-left-right cross combo that sent Minoso back.

The two kept trading blows before Gabe whistled loudly, "MINOSO!" Gabe shouted drawing everyone's attention as Gabe smirked at Gillon and straightened his tie causing Gillon's eyes to widen before Gabe stuck his thumb up before pointing it down.

On cue, Minoso dropped his arms and Naruto punched him sending him to the ground causing cheers as the ref counted and Gillon sat back in stunned silence that he just lost everything. The crowd cheered and counted along with the ref before Naruto was declared the winner and Gabe looked at Gillon. "The saying is, 'Never con a con man' especially one that's better than you." Gabe stated as he patted Naruto's shoulder while Gillon gestured toward them.

"You beat me fair and square." Gillon stated as he got up to walk away.

Naruto just smirked since Minoso was on Gabe's payroll since Gabe first went to prison. Everyone had a price when it came for work or protection, Minoso just wanted his grandmother, mother, and sisters provided for and protected from the rival cartels since they were easy targets should they try to get to him or if his own cartel went after them to ensure Minoso never talked. Gabe contacted Naruto and Naruto set up security and living conditions to ensure no one touched the females unless they were friends or close enough that they couldn't be paid off to do the deed themselves. As such, Minoso started fights and bought as much time as Gabe needed to get other prisoners out of prison and make some money.

Naruto then got his robe on and lost the gloves, tossing them to Victor as a souvenir, before following Gabe to the lobby where Gillon was arguing with his three stooges. "HEY! Hate to break up your lover's quarrel, but you got a week to get out of your house." Gabe stated with a smile as Fitz nodded.

"Hey, I can give you a ride to the motel, we can take my new corvette." Fitz stated while Fish pointed at him.

"Law is the law, and a bet's a bet." Fish stated before Gillon pushed him back.

"Who are you, Wyatt Twerp? You want to see the law?" Gillon stated before he grabbed the sheriff's gun and moved to shoot Gabe, but Robby got in the way and made him shoot the popcorn machine as Gillon lost the gun and looked at Robby in shock.

"You deserve to lose." Robby stated before Gillon smacked him and tried to hit him again only for Naruto to grab his wrist when he tried.

Naruto merely looked at Gillon as he clenched his wrist, breaking it and making Gillon shout in pain before Naruto pulled him forward and punched him in the face, solar plexus, and the gut before slamming him into the counter knocking him out. Naruto then nodded to the sheriff, who returned it knowing that he'd have to arrest Gillon as all of his influence had just gone up in smoke.

Naruto then turned to Robby, "Hey kid, come with me a minute." Naruto stated leading Robby to one of the locker rooms before Naruto opened the locker and tossed a duffle bag to Robby, who opened it to see a load of cash. "$100,000." Naruto stated making Robby look at him in confusion.

"What's this for?" Robby asked with a frown and Naruto shrugged.

"Your father literally bet everything and lost, so unless you got a trust fund set up, then you're broke too kid. I figure this isn't as much as he lost, but it should be enough to keep you going as you make your own fortune." Naruto stated making Robby look at the bag, "Take this Gym for instance, me and my associates now own it and with your dad now going to jail for attempted murder, it's going to need a new manager. You love this gym and this town, unlike your dad, so run this gym right and you'll at least have a steady income." Naruto stated patting his shoulder as he walked away to change and get looked at by a doctor just to be sure he was all right.

Along the way, he laughed and wrapped an arm around Jugo who was grinning, "Leave it to you, cuz." Jugo laughed as they walked out with people cheering for Naruto winning as Victor nodded towards him.

"Yeah, now I need to get checked out." Naruto stated with a laugh since his right hand was throbbing and his ribs weren't exactly happy either. Jugo merely nodded and helped his cousin to the hospital to get checked out

###############FOUR DAYS LATER: MOTEL ROOM: LEMON START###############

The sound of moans and flesh slapping flesh echoed out within the motel room as Naruto laid on the bed with his right hand in a cast since the smash hit into A's face had broken three bones. He also sported a large black eye, some cuts on his face, 2 broken ribs, three cracked ribs, and several bruises on his torso and hands. However it was worth it in the end since they essentially owned the town and Gillon was going to prison where some inmates would give him a 'warm' welcome, especially when word got out about what he had done to Charles Macum Diggs.

The noises currently were because Emily was riding his dick for all he was worth as she worked her womanhood and ass to coax more of his essence out. Beside him on his left was Tenten and Mia with the former watching with a grin and the latter panting to catch her breath after her turn of being fucked after the others since Mia was the more nervous and shy of this next Emily, though she was kissing along Tenten's neck and collarbone. On his right was Lai and Luli making out and groping each other. Behind him was Nanette watching with a smile as she ran her fingers through his hair loving the sight of her sugar daddy still fucking like mad even if he was the one relaxing as it happened.

Each girl was there for different reasons: Nanette and Lai were simply because they loved to fuck Naruto and it was "Nanette's job" to fuck him.

Tenten and Luli wanted some action after going so long without it.

Mia wanted to have more sex.

And Emily wanted to thank him for ruining the man who killed her brother and would ensure his life was hell for all that he did.

However, the latter two were the most nervous since they hadn't done something like this before. Hence why Luli and Tenten helped them out.

Since Emily was the newest, they decided she got the first taste so while Nanette and Lai took turns kissing Naruto, Emily was on her knees in front of his dick getting advice from Luli on how to suck Naruto's dick while Luli also groped Emily to ensure she was properly lubricated when Naruto took her pussy. Tenten and Mia were kissing his neck and chest trying to give a little pleasure to where he had pain and bruises.

Of course, when he eventually came, Luli ensured that Emily shared it even going as far as to kiss the blonde woman. Luli was the unique one of the current lovers as she was a strict lesbian except when it came to Naruto, while Tenten was more "got used to fucking and sleeping with women" thanks to her relationship with Naruto, Luli actually fully enjoyed fucking women entirely. Same with Nanette since she just loved sex, which means she and Luli could get along fine to train the other girls to be more receptive to the female touch.

If nothing else, having another female to sleep with was more enjoyable than masturbation.

Anyway, after giving Emily a real girl on girl kiss, Luli had set Mia and Emily back to watch since they were still new to the whole 'mini-orgy' type occurrence. So, she had them just sit back and watch and if they wanted to join in then they were free to. Luli then straddled him and sank his dick deep into her womanhood causing her to throw her head back and moan lewdly as she felt her pussy stretch to accommodate him again.

While she began riding Naruto, Tenten took his mouth and had him start sucking on her titties while Lai took his open hand and had him start fingering her. Nanette was behind Tenten kissing and licking her neck while massaging ass, which became massaging her tits when Tenten eventually switched to having Naruto eat her out. This continued until eventually Naruto came inside of Luli making her scream in pleasure before Lai helped her lay down on the bed to catch her breath while she and Nanette cleaned his dick for Tenten to take her turn next.

Once he was clean, Tenten crawled over and rode him reversed so he could watch her plump ass jiggle and ripple as she came down on his dick. Lai took over with kissing and groping Tenten while Nanette was getting fingered this time with Luli pulling her down to suck on her tits.

It was also at this point that Mia had come over and began kissing Naruto finding the scene too erotic and perverted to ignore anymore. Emily must have felt the same way since the others caught sight of her starting to play with herself as she watched them go.

When Tenten got her load, she had sat on his dick ensuring he was thoroughly milked by her pussy before she got off and began licking Mia's pussy, surprising the woman as she could only moan into Naruto's mouth as she had never had a woman doing such a thing to her before. Luli released Nanette's tits so she could clean Naruto's dick with Lai, who was going next and immediately inserted Naruto into her ass causing her to moan as she began bouncing while Mia and Emily blushed at Lai taking his dick up her ass. Nanette could only smirk at her 'student' as Lai had been nervous about anal, but Nanette had helped her by working her ass slowly to be able to try and take on Naruto's dick. If Lai was a masochist, Nanette would have just spread her ass and told her boss to just shove his dick in, but Lai wasn't, so Nanette was being gentle and loving with her.

Though the girl did love a good spanking, which Nanette was happy to give her any time the mood struck either of them.

Naruto had taken her anal cherry during the two weeks between the bet and the fight and Lai quickly grew to love it a great deal. Tenten smirked at the sight since she regularly let Naruto take her ass too, she just preferred sucking and pussy fucking to anal, but to each their own. Luli didn't care, she just wanted Naruto's dick and would take it any way she could get it, same with Nanette.

Anyway, as Lai was bouncing, Luli crawled over and began kissing Naruto's chest while Nanette went around and began licking Lai's pussy to add to her pleasure. Of course, she also teased Emily by offering her to come closer and watch, which Emily did while blushing a lot. Tenten had also moved up from Mia's pussy and was licking and sucking her neck as the woman kept kissing Naruto lustfully. Naruto added to Lai's pleasure by slapping her bubble butt causing her to moan more as her ass tightened up a lot as she kept riding him.

Nanette was next to ride him and took him into her pussy, after she and Emily cleaned him, while Lai was laying on the bed catching her breath while Emily was there watching Nanette sink onto his dick. By that time, Mia had begun to kiss Tenten while Naruto sucked on her tits while both girls had their hands roaming each other's bodies. Luli and Lai were locked in a make out session while grinding against the other next to them all moaning and exploring the other's mouth.

Of course, after Nanette was Mia's turn and Tenten kept playing and kissing her as she bounced on Naruto's lap while Nanette was having Emily lick and suck her pussy for the load Naruto had just dumped inside of her. Emily was hesitant, but quickly got into things with Nanette's coaching and prodding while Mia was moaning loudly since Tenten was sucking her tits and slapping her ass. Naruto just smiled and relaxed the whole time since Luli and Lai had gone to sucking on his fingers from his good hand and the girls had made it clear to him that they were going to do all the work for this round of fun. Naruto accepted since he really didn't have much room to argue when six women were all ordering him to lay there and take the fucking. Naturally, he eventually filled Mia as well causing her to cum hard and collapse into Tenten's arms, who was laughing a bit remembering how she used to be the same way and moved her to the side and spooned with her as she kept teasing and making sure she stayed sensitive for a while.

All of this now brings us to now where it is Emily's turn and after Nanette helped guide her down onto Naruto's dick and adjust to his size, she went up behind Naruto to watch the free sex show going on as two girl on girl occurrences and a stud fucking a hot blonde were going on right before her. She did occasionally lean in and suck on Mia's other tit to give her a bit more fun.

Emily though quickly got into it as she began bouncing, rolling her hips, twerking her ass, and moving her body in different ways to work his dick and give both of them pleasure. She'd also lean down and offer him her tits or kiss him, which would then allow Nanette to take over on sucking and playing with Mia's tits. Emily was both emotional and physical for her high since Naruto had ruined and condemned the man who framed and killed her brother, while he didn't do it for her specifically, she still wanted to thank him for everything and give him a real hero's thank you for the whole town. The fact that she got pleasure and a lot of fun from this was just a major bonus, though she did not expect to be doing it with other women let alone that Naruto would be able to keep going after all enjoying each woman so far.

She was starting to see why Tenten mentioned that any girl getting serious for Naruto would need help or would need to train like crazy. Any woman would be tired our and exhausted before Naruto even finished fully, and this is with him injured and recovering from the fights still!

As with all things, it had to end some time and Emily felt the end approaching as his dick started twitching and throbbing inside her newly stretched out pussy and began working his dick more while using his thighs for support while her feet were planted on the bed and then gasped and moaned loudly as she felt his hot seed flood her pussy and fill her to the brim, she was glad she had birth control or she'd have some other worries.

While kids were something she wanted in the future, she didn't want any right now and certainly when she didn't have a full relationship.

With that, Emily pushed herself forward and collapsed on his chest enjoying the feel of his dick stuffed into her pussy and his hot cum sealed inside her.

Naruto panted as Emily laid on his chest while Tenten and Mia were on his left, Lai and Luli were on his right, and Nanette was above him lying near them all. "Wow." Emily stated with a smile as she hadn't been this satisfied ever.

"Oh trust me honey, he's even better when he's not recovering from a beating." Luli stated kissing his shoulder while Lai hugged her from behind idly groping her supple and perky tits.

"Or when he's really serious about fucking." Tenten stated with a smile glad to have gotten Naruto again after such a long time.

"Or even just actively participating." Nanette stated with a smile knowing her boss had to just lay there and only work his hand and mouth.

Naruto merely chuckled before grunting since laughing hurt his ribs a bit. "Yeah, but right now I need some sleep. Some of those assholes knew how to punch." Naruto stated making the women all agree as they each kissed his cheek before snuggling into him and the bed.

Little did Naruto know, Mia was affected by the display and the affection he was giving each woman. She was content with just fun since Naruto was clearly not a one woman kind of guy, but maybe, just maybe, she could have a relationship with him and not hurt these other girls. Tenten had already explained to her before that each person that had dated Naruto had fallen into having more sex with other women present just to help handle his stamina and needs when he really needed to relax or vent some pent up need. There just wasn't a woman that could handle him alone, even she and Tsunade couldn't even though they had fucked him for years.

Could they handle more than other women? Yes. Could they handle him entirely to where he was too tired to continue? Hell no.

No, if Mia truly wanted a personal relationship, she either had to get REALLY good at sex and improve her stamina or be open to other women being fucked too… though the latter wasn't looking so bad given the pleasure she got from all of this.

She just had to figure out what she was going to do, since she was falling for the man. His caring and protective nature only made him more lovable and she was touched that he kept his word and called her every day and every night to talk to her and wish her a good day and sweet dreams. Although, Tenten had also told her that he had a lot of things he kept secret unless he trusted you and you asked about it, she wouldn't say anything specific as it wasn't her place, but she encouraged Mia to talk with Naruto in depth to get to know all of him, the good and the bad.

However, that could and would have to wait as she really needed some sleep. She had time to figure out what she would do with the blonde haired man that was claiming her heart, and body, for his own.

DONE!

Hope you all enjoyed my take on Diggstown and the bit more of Naruto's history.

Next time is the first of the Sci-Fi movies and will take Naruto to the Amazon.

Luli and Tenten will get personal lemons later on.

See you all next time!
