Week Later

It's been a week since Naruto's and Chloe's friendship evolved, and Chloe was enjoying every moment of it, Naruto had began to look into more ways to earn money, he knew he could probably win the lottery but Johnathan broke into a tirade about the law saying he was underage, the excuse that he was actually a 24 year old man who was deaged to a 3 year old not having much affect, so with gambling being out of the choices, Naruto decided to write a book, he also found some old manuscripts from his dad's friend in the ship, he had to translate them, before he sped down to Metropolis and found a publisher to publish Make Out Paradise and Tale of a Gutsy Shinobi.

With the two books doing pretty good, seeing as the world was filled with perverts, Naruto began to write a story of himself back on Elum as an orphan without his Kryptonian abilities, it was coming along at a good pace. Lana and Naruto began to hang out more as well.

Currently Naruto, Pete, and Chloe were walking up the steps toward school with Naruto reading the school paper "Football: Sport or Abuse?" Naruto read

"So, what do you think?" Chloe asked sipping her coffee

"I think you need to seriously decrease your cappuccino dependency." Naruto said causing Pete to chuckle whole Chloe scoffed

"Pete thinks I'm being too hard on Coach Walt." Chloe said

"I mean, the man coached my dad, all my brothers. He used to come over and watch the Super Bowl." Pete defended

"While I'm touched by that Hallmark moment you don't get points for subtlety in journalism. I've already started getting hate mail."

"Why are you happy about that?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow

"Because it means I'm hitting a nerve. Besides, between the abysmal sentence structure and generous use of obscenities I've got a pretty good idea of who's been sending it." Chloe shrugged as the trip walked by the cheerleaders who smiled and waved at Naruto who returned the gesture

"If you think my teammates read the Torch, you're giving them way too much credit." Pete said as Naruto noticed Whitney, and Lana

"Don't you even care about this?" Whitney asked

"I don't see what the big deal is." Whitney shrugged smiling

"You don't think it's a big deal? I think it's a big deal." Lana said glaring at Whitney before she walked away smiling at Naruto as she did and continued on her way

"There's something you don't see every day. A pom-pom meltdown." Chloe said smiling as the football players walked by "Here they come. I need a picture of the cheating jockstraps."

Chloe handed Pete and got out her camera

"I don't want to hear any rumors going around, any false accusations." Coach Walt said to his players and the. heerleaders that had gathered around

"Any idea how they got that midterm?" Naruto asked

"Still a mystery, but I'm working on it." Chloe said snapping pictures, when a player noticed her

"What's she doing?" the player asked throwing his ball at Chloe but Naruto caught the ball with a single hand

"Woah, nice catch." Pete said patting Naruto's back

"One of your teammate attempts to assassinate me and all you can say is "nice catch"?" Chloe asked with a glare before she walked off,

"I thought you wanted to hit a nerve." Pete said following Chloe as Naruto tossed the football back to the player who grunted and fell to his knees as Naruto walked away as Coach Walt watched him
