This is my first modern-day fic, with a subject I don't think has ever been done with Naruto. Let's how it turns out, hm?

The bell rang, signaling the end of the day. Naruto Namikaze, a sixteen-year-old high school student said goodbye to his friends and started his walk home. As he passed the school parking lot, he saw Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka, the class babes, get in a BMW M6 with a fan vinyl on the side belonging to one Sasuke Uchiha, the youngest son of the rich Fugaku Uchiha and the class bastard. The Uchiha turned to Naruto and sneered, mocking him. Naruto sighed and went home.

"Dad, I'm home!" Naruto called as he entered the apartment.

"Hey, kid. How was your day?" Minato Namikaze answered from the kitchen.

"Ok, I guess. Nothin' new."

Minato raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. "Come on, kid. Lunch time."

Later that night, Naruto slowly snuck out of the apartment, trying not to wake up his father. What he didn't see was a set of eyes following his movements. Minato snickered and went to his room.

Naruto was going down the street, counting the money he had earned over the year doing various odd jobs. He was approaching his target: a car store in the center of the city.

It took him an hour to get to the store on foot. A tall, white haired man met him there.

"Mister Hatake?" The man nodded. "My name is Naruto Namikaze. I'm here to see some cars."

"Call me Kakashi. Right this way." Naruto walked through the room, looking at various cars, but none of them was appealing to him. "Anything specific you have in mind?" Kakashi asked him, seeing his reactions.

"Yeah. A fast car. Like a racer."

"Well, maybe you'll find this one appealing. We only have one left." He took him to the back, where there was one white Mazda Rx-7. "This is the Mazda RX-7 2002 series 8 model. It is the last model made, with 261 hp. I think you'll find it fits your needs quite nicely."

"Yeah. I'll take it." He said, paying for the car.

Naruto was driving through town, looking for a place to store the car, when he ran into an abandoned warehouse. He parked outside, and checked it out. He smiled, getting outside, when he noticed a girl hanging around his car.

"Hey!"

"Oh, hey. Is this car yours?" The girl asked. She looked around sixteen, maybe seventeen, and had dark brown hair done in two buns. She was wearing a pink Chinese shirt, and a pair of jeans.

"Um, yeah. What about it?"

"Do you plan on racing it?" She raised an eyebrow when he hesitated, before responding negative. "You are. You're a bad liar Naruto."

"What's it to you? And how do you know my name, anyway?"

She raised another eyebrow. "We go to the same class together." She dead panned.

"Oh, yeah, now I remember. Tenten, right?" The girl nodded. "You still haven't answered my first question."

"You see…. I've always loved cars. Not driving them, mind you, but fixing them. But most guys won't let me near their cars 'cause I'm a girl." She scoffed. "So I was thinking…. If you're gonna race, you'll need a mechanic. Maybe I can be of some service." He looked into her eyes, not finding a trace of deceit. He always was good at reading people.

"Alright, you're in." Tenten smiled and hugged him.

"So, this will be our HQ, huh?" She asked with a shine in her eyes. "We'll need some tools. And your car could use some paint, maybe some airbrush."

"Yeah. Orange, with a fox head at the side. But that's gonna cost us." She shook her head.

"Nah, just the equipment. I'll do the rest."

"Ok then, I still have some money, probably just enough for an airbrush kit. Let's go."

The two spent most of the night searching for an airbrush kit, and, finally, lucked out near dawn. They returned to the warehouse, Naruto parked the car, and put a tarp over it.

"I'm gonna leave the car here. Let's meet up every day after school for three hours."

"Fine by me. See ya tomorrow."

And so it came that every day from then on, after school, they met at the old warehouse. They divided their time, sometimes tuning the car with some low-tier stuff they got, and sometimes fixing up the 'Shop', as Tenten labeled it. About two months later, they were ready for the first race.

Ok, I hope that's good enough. Sadly, I don't know much about cars, so I hope you'll forgive some mistakes I'm bound to make.

This is mostly based on Need for Speed: Carbon, and Street Racing Syndicate. An idea I had lying about my head, and I decided to give it a go while I rest from the 'New WitchKing'

You know the drill. I really want to see how you like it, so review.
