From Jinchuriki to Speedster

Chapter 3: Mist

2 Days Later

CCPD

Naruto ignored all the chatter as he walked into the police department, he had turned in his manuscript yesterday and was waiting for the publisher to get back at him, as he looked down at his phone, he suddenly looked up when he bumped into Iris who stumbled forward loosing her grip on the coffees she was carrying grabbing her by her waist, to stop her from falling, Naruto watched as Joe caught the coffees before they could hit the ground

"Watch where your going Nate." Joe said

"My bad, you alright Iris?" Naruto asked letting Iris go, as she turned toward him with a nod

"Yeah, thanks for catching me." Iris said causing Naruto to smile and nod

"What are you doing here anyway?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow

"Making sure my two favorite guys are caffeinated." Iris said causing Naruto to smile as she handed him a coffee before Naruto could speak Eddie in the doorway asked

"Is that chocolate croissant for me?"

"Nope its all mine." Iris said as Naruto looked at his phone again before the police scanners went off

"All available units please respond. There's a 2-11 in progress at Central City National Bank. Be advised suspect seems to have increased strength, must be on some kind of stimulate."

Joe gave Naruto a look, as he said "That's less than a mile from here, how fast can you get there Eddie?" Joe grabbed his jacket, and left with Eddie

"You should get to Jitters, since it seems my day is starting early." Naruto said

"Ok, we're still on for the movies tonight right?" Iris asked

"Sure." Naruto grinned before he waved and headed up to his lab, while Iris left, as soon as Naruto was out of sight he sped off, while throwing his coffee in the trash

Outside

Iris walked outside with a small smile as she ate her croissant, when she saw a woman who was walking about 6 dogs lose her grip on the leashes and the dogs run away, about to try to at least catch one she paused and her eyes widened

"Wait come.." in a blur of red, all the dogs we're gathered and returned to her before it was back on it's way "back." the woman finished in surprise as Iris looked up to see a red blur turning the corner as she smiled

Central City National Bank

Naruto skidded to a stop to see a large man in a leotard holding a large dumbbell "Nice costume." the man said

"Thanks, nice mustache." Naruto returned before he looked at the bag of money the man was holding "Please return the money, and give yourself up."

"Raah!" the man tried to hit Naruto with his dumbbell but Naruto easily dodged and kicked the man in the gut sending him flying into a pillar, "You're fast." the man said standing up with a grunt, before he pulled out a blue pill

"Duh." Naruto said before he sped in and with a leap, kneed the man in his chin knocking him out, before he could take the pill picking the pill up, Naruto sped back to his lab just as Joe, and Eddie arrived along with other squad cars

This was my life now, speeding around my city and stopping criminals, things I used to dream about as an academy student. Being a hero, and stopping bad guys. It ain't bad at all, especially since my life before I got my speed was boring. Still feels like I'm missing something though..

Vogue Movie Theater

Naruto and Iris walked out the theater with Iris eating her medium sized bucket of popcorn "That was one of the worst zombie movies ever." Naruto sighed
