Maelstrom Baller

Chapter 10

After running a few drills, Naruto, Casey, and Bernard found themselves at Nicole's office, "Okay movie time." She said before she turned on the tv and a calendar appeared, "Three months, guys. Three months dedicated to the game you live for. Is that too much to ask?"

"Naw." The trio said

"Good. That's what I thought. So official Combine invites go out the first week of May. If you three are invited, should say when since I've seen you guys play. We will be flying to Chicago on the 16th. After that we'll be arranging some private workouts with interested teams up until draft week and then Summer League. But for now, for the next 3 weeks you guys are going to be in the gym. I need you guys to keep a low profile and stay out of trouble. Understand?"

The three nodded in understanding

Moments Later, Queens, NY

Naruto, Bernard and Casey burned a dead body, before they walked to the duffels and looked to the woman and man Naruto's clone had mindwalked, and as it dispelled Naruto smirked before they vanished in a swirl of leaves as the two came back to consciousness having no idea what really happened

Nightfall, Truth Nightclub

Today was the grand opening of Truth a nightclub owned by James St Patrick, the who's who of New York were in attendance along with Naruto and his boys, the three were in VIP across from the owner and his party, "So how do you want to run this?"

"Need to get close to Ghost who will get us closer to Danzo. I'll kill the driver, and tell him I'm down to make a name for myself." Naruto said as they watched the driver Sean and Ghost walk off,

Ghost's wife Tasha and her friend Keisha watched them leave before Keisha looked over to the booth across from them and her eyes widened before she began to tap Tasha, "Girl, Nathan James is here."

Tasha looked over and saw the singer, talking to his friends before her friend walked over to him,

Naruto looked up and saw Keisha walk over, "Hi I'm Keisha."

"Nice to meet you Keisha." Naruto smiled shaking her hand

Later

Sean walked to the car, to wait for Ghost and his wife to drive them home, climbing into the driver seat he was about to pull off when Naruto appeared from the backseat and grabbed his face. Before Sean could fight Naruto ripped his soul from his body and absorbed his knowledge and memories before a truth seeking orb was stabbed into the corpse and Sean was reduced to ash

Smirking Naruto got out the car and left as a clone waited in the driver seat as Sean,

Next Day, Gym

The trio walked into the gym and were immediately approached by a woman, "Gentleman, Stacy Sahni. I'm your personal trainer for the next couple months." Stacy said as the three continued to look at her, "Just because you don't scoff doesn't mean you're enlightened."

Stacy turned around and walked off with the men following her as they admired her ass, "Fact is over the next couple weeks you will despise me. And come July, hopefully we'll be lifelong friends."

"Maybe more.' Naruto said smirking as Stacy looked back at him

"We'll meet here every morning at 6:00 to prepare for the Combine. After lunch you hit the court. Have you received your first week's supply of food and supplements."

"Yea.' The three said

"Good, make sure you follow the instructions exactly as they are written. Otherwise you'll just be wasting your time in here. Stretch out and we'll begin." Stacy said before she walked off
