"Now, Mr. Namikaze have you made your decision yet?"
"Yes, I have before I announce my decision I want to thank all the schools that I visited and recruited me and I also want to thank my teammates for an amazing season. I also want to thank my parents for being there for me throughout this entire process. But enough talk now let's get down to business. Next season I'll be a Trojan as I have decided to play at the University of Southern California,"
ESPN: Naruto Namikaze has signed with the University of Southern California.
ESPN FIRST TAKE:
Cari Champion: Stephen A. I'll start with you do you like this decision?
Stephen A. Smith: I mean what can I say. This kid Naruto Namikaze is something special. And I have no doubt in my mind that the USC Trojans will become the National Champions next season.
Skip Bayless: Wow, really. What about Duke after they signed another star named Kyrie Irving.
Stephen A. Smith: I get that, but Skip have you seen this kid play. I mean OH MY GOD can he ball?! When I see his highlights he reminds of how LeBron was in high school.
Skip Bayless: Oh, I have seen him play and I'm not surprised considering who his parents are. I said this before and I'll say again. I believe in my heart of hearts if there was one person who has the right to be known as the Jordan stopper. It's Minato Namikaze "The Yellow Flash". And I do believe that his son Naruto Namikaze will lead the USC Trojans to the National Championship.

Well, there you have it the first chapter of my Naruto x NBA crossover story. The next chapter we'll have some real life stuff in it. And as for the pairing(s), I was thinking of doing a double pairing with Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift or should I do a normal pairing with either of these ladies. Let me know or should do a triple pairing and you guys let me know who you want to be the third girl. Thank you.
By the way, can you guess who's Naruto's best friend? I'll give you a hint it's a girl.
