Dark Hero

"What!? Tatsumi's been taken?" Akame slammed her hand on the table as Lubbock and Leone reported what occurred. Akame was thinking and before she could say anything, Mine spoke.

"Don't even think about it. We can't go and rescue Tatsumi, it would waste resources and time. Besides, he might not even be in danger in the first place. Unlike you or me, he doesn't even have a wanted poster." Mine made a point, Akame reluctantly agreed.

"Even so, he is a comrade. Keep a look out for him." She also has a dark expression on her face. "Keep a look out for Esdeath's group, the Jaegers."

(With the Jaegers)

"So, this is the bandit's hideout? So, what's it gonna be? We knock the front door, or do we go around the back?" Naruto waited his teammate's answers. Seryu took charge.

"Justice dictates we fight them head on." Seryu opened the gates and they were soon surrounded by bandits who eyes the two females like pieces of meat. The leader ordered them alive so that they could do unspeakable things to them. However, the leader lost his head as Naruto threw his Steel Ball, which also went around and swiftly tore through the bodies of the men surrounding them. Naruto's Steel Ball returned to him. His fellow Jaegers were surprised Naruto that Naruto could do something like that.

"Sorry, my hand slipped." He looked at the other Jaegers. "You guys want to jump in?" Seryu did so and allowed Koro to enlarge and bit her right arm, where it became a drill, where she rushed various bandits closing by and killed them. She then used Koro to change arm into a cannon and blast more bandits to bits. 'How is that physically possible?' Naruto's thought process questioned how Seryu was even using those weapons, with his eyes blinking rapidly for a moment.

"Maybe we should let her take care of those bandits by herself?" Wave said with Run also commenting that she looks like she could do just that.

"Those weapons are my personal creation." Stylish said to them.

"You built them?" Wave asked him, with Run curious as well.

"How did you even put those weapons in her body?" Naruto asked but Stylish chose to ignore this. 'He's dodging the question, I was right, this does defy the laws of physics.' He heard Stylish say that his dream was to create weapons that exceed Teigu and that thanks to his Teigu, Perfecter, he can patch them up from anything short of death, whilst also providing free upgrades to their bodies. "I'm good." Naruto told him, with Run requesting that Stylish not insert anything in his body.

"I'm glad we have a medic, but if all you can do is patch us up, then you should stay close by while we protect you from threats." Wave was being considerate and thought Stylish had no way to defend himself.

"I hope to see that kindness in you in private, cutie." Stylish winked at Wave, who was a little creeped out by this. Stylish the snapped his fingers and out came several humanoid creatures. "Meet my creations, they can defend me while you all carry on."

"Excuse me, it seems that Kurome went off ahead." Run interjected with Wave saying that was fast and Stylish saying that the girls should at least listen to what other people are saying.

"Well, let's get this over with." Naruto joined his allies. He spotted Kurome cutting up several bandits in superhuman speed. Wave kicked a bandit that attempted to sneak attack Kurome. Wave said that she didn't need to thank him, but she replied that she knew that the assailant was coming.

Bols blocked arrows using the cylinder strapped to his back. He then used his Teigu, Rubicante as a flamethrower to burn the archers, even when one of them submerged himself in water. Run's Teigu were a pair of floating discs that became a pair of wings. The remaining bandits were killed by Run, who unlashed feathers that pierced the heads of his victims.

Meanwhile, Tatsumi and Esdeath were watching from a distance, with Tatsumi secretly worried. 'They're strong and they outnumber us, maybe I can get away before…I CAN'T ESCAPE NOW!' Esdeath held Tatsumi's hand like a lovestruck schoolgirl.

"Tonight, you'll be staying with me." She said with a blush. Tatsumi decided to make a different approach, he would convince Esdeath to defect to the Revolutionaries.

(The next morning)

'I failed to convince her.' Tatsumi looked tired and worse for wear. He was being used as a body pillow by Esdeath, which made him stay awake the whole night.

"Hey Tatsumi." Wave greeted him while holding a cup of coffee and then noticed his condition. "You alright man? You don't look so good." Tatsumi did not want to say what happened and just told Wave that he didn't get much sleep. "Yeah, well you should try sleeping the same room as Naruto, his snoring and sleepwalking is a pain in the ass." Said blonde heard this as he was behind Wave.

"My what?" Naruto scared Wave, who jumped back and spilled his coffee on Tatsumi, who screamed in a high-pitched tone from being burned. "Heh, never gets old." Naruto didn't have his mask or goggles on and took off his vest. Kurome arrived and began eating her sweets.

'This girl, so familiar. But from where?' Tatsumi was staring at her, which Kurome noticed and did something that made Tatsumi realise why she was so familiar.

"You can't have any?" Kurome protectively placed her arms around her food. Tatsumi immediately realised that she was related to Akame. Kurome noticed this. "Just what're you looking at, are you pervert?" She went straight to the point.

"Wha…NO!" Tatsumi shook his head rapidly. "You just remind me of that assassin on the wanted poster. That Akame girl, are you perhaps related to her?" Tatsumi already knew the answer since he heard from Leone about Kurome, though he only had vague information.

"Come to think of it, you kind of do Kurome." Wave let his opinion be known.

"Akame is my older sister." This surprised Wave and Naruto a little, but Naruto noticed that Tatsumi tensed a little bit. His attention turned back to Kurome. "But she betrayed the Empire and is now my enemy." She gave off some bloodlust which scared the other two and even worried Naruto a little bit. "I will find Big Sis and kill her with my Yatsufusa and we'll be together forever."

'She's warped. She's like a female Sasuke.' Naruto then had a thought. 'Actually, now that I think about it, she looks she could be what Sasuke would look like if he was a girl.' Naruto became a little depressed and walked away.

"Where are you going, Naruto?" Wave asked his friend, who didn't even turn back but did give his answer.

"Out. Save me some breakfast, I'll be back in an hour." Naruto went to his room to get his things and left their accommodation. He was now at the streets and was lost in his thoughts. 'Thinking about Sasuke got me all depressed now. Wish there was a ramen joint here.' Naruto then looked at the wall and saw posters of the Night Raid members known to the Empire. Most specifically, Akame. 'That's Kurome's sister.' Naruto shook his head and carried on. He noticed some that looked like bodyguards, dragging sacks to a carriage. Normally this wouldn't bother him, but he noticed that it was leaking. 'Blood? Better check it out.' Naruto followed them to see them dump the contents within a dumpster.

"These girls only lasted a few days. Let's hope that Bach guy can give the bosses some girls that can last longer. This is the third time we had to dump the body parts this week." The grunts laughed but Naruto heard what he needed and was behind one of them before twisting his head upside down and killing him. "W-What!?" Before the other guy could retaliate, Naruto already pinned him to the ground and broke both of his legs. "AGGHH!" Naruto placed his hand over the grunts mouth.

"Now, if you don't want me to break anything else, I suggest you talk." Naruto spoke in a deadly tone that made the grunt cry in fear, mixed with some pain. "What's this about a guy bringing in some girls for your bosses?"

"I-I d-don't k-NOOOOO!" He screamed as Naruto stepped on his left hand.

"Next is your arm. Know this, I can break your arm in many ways and all of them are really, really, painful." Naruto started to get through to him as the grunt told him everything about how Batch lures in girls and treats them before selling them to a group of enthusiasts who play with the girls in many ways, also mentioning what the dog does. He gave Naruto the location.

"I-I g-gave you w-what you w-wanted. L-Let m-me go." The grunt felt Naruto let him go but the blonde took out a knife. "B-but y-you s-said that y-you'll l-let m-me go!"

"I said that I wouldn't break your body, not that I'll let you live." Naruto slit the grunt's throat as he choked in his life essence before his eyes became lifeless. 'Now, time to rid the world of some scum.' Naruto made his way to his target's hideout.

(With Bach and his buyers)

"You bastard!" Fal, the tomboy blonde-haired girl's kick was locked by one of the bodyguards, who broke one of her legs. Luna, the blue-haired girl had one of her eyes cut out and screamed in pain. Air, the pink-haired one, was stripped and about to be violated by one of the enthusiasts, dog that was in heat. Fortunately for Air, a steel ball tore through the dog and then pierced the heads of the grunts behind Air.

(Play Fairy Tail OST-Absolute Zero)

The guard that broke Fal's legs had his neck snapped upside down. The enthusiasts felt they were going to die as Naruto arrived with eyes appearing demonic to them.

"W-Who a-are y-you?" The one who owned the dog stepped back but died as his chest was pierced, followed by everyone who tried to run away. All of them died, except Bach, who was literally wanting to shit himself and was shaking.

"P-Please listen!" Bach opened his jacket to reveal the mark of a slave. "T-There's a reason why I turned out like this. My moth….AGH!" Naruto picked Bach up by the mouth. In Bach's eyes, Naruto had a demonic aura as the blonde glared at him. Naruto dropped Bach and then slowly walked, swiftly slitting Bach's throat. 'He took me out like I was a piece of trash.'

(OST End)

He looked at the naked Air, who was using her arms to cover herself up. Naruto walked up and picked up Air's clothes. "Here, get dressed." Air sobbed, this made Naruto cover her with her jacket.

"They can't hurt you or anyone else again." Naruto then looked at Air's unconscious friends and gripped his fists. 'No matter where I go, innocents still suffer.' Naruto decided to help the girls and gave them medical treatment, first helping Luna with her eye and then Fal with her leg. 'My abilities aren't just for destruction, they can heal people.'

"W-what are y-you doing to L-Luna?" Air got dressed and saw Naruto using his steel ball on Luna. She became suspicious of him, though Naruto reassured her with a smile.

"Don't worry, I have some medical training. Right now, I'm trying to see if I can save your friend's eye." Now, unlike with Bach, Naruto was being honest, despite Air not wanting to trust him as Bach broke her trust.

'He's telling the truth and his eyes, they show warmth.' Air was brought out of her thoughts by Naruto.

"Luckily her eyeball wasn't stabbed, but she'll have a scar on her face. Now for your other friend." Naruto walked towards Fal and gestured for Air to follow. "I need your help with this one, it's going to be painful to fix her leg." Naruto used his bare hands to bend the leg back to its normal alignment, though this caused Fal to awaken in pain, but Air was holding her and stopped her screams. "Relax, I need to perform an emergency surgery on you, so that your leg can heal properly." Naruto used his steel ball to help heal it. "You won't feel a thing, trust me." True to his words, Fal did not feel a thing, in fact the pain she felt from having her leg realigned passed and she felt better than before. Naruto turned to Air. "Your blue-haired friend should be waking up in a moment." After Naruto was done healing Fal, Luna had woken up and was told about their situation by Air, to which the blue-haired girl looked around the room and fell on her bottom, shaking in fear. "It'll take a few weeks, but you'll be able to use your leg again. But…" Fal was happy to hear about her leg, however, as soon as Naruto said 'but', she felt scared. "…you won't be able to use your leg to fight ever again. You're very lucky to even walk again." Fal sighed in relief, but then she like her friends, noticed the bloody corpses and body parts.

"Don't worry it's all over. You three are safe for now." Naruto told them. "I know it must be tough to see this, but I had no choice. These monsters had to die."

"Why?" Air's voice made Naruto turned to her.

"Why did I save you? Is that what you meant?" Naruto knew that was she meant but wanted confirmation from her, which she confirmed by nodding. "I've seen a lot of things in my life, despite being in this world for a short time. If I can save someone in front of me, then I will do it without hesitation." Naruto looked at his hand. "I killed these monsters because they deserved it. Nothing more, nothing less." While they were afraid of what he could do to them, they were grateful and bowed.

"Thank you for saving us. We are now in your debt." Luna spoke for all of them. The other two were very grateful

"Not important right now, I need you to tell me how you got into this situation?" Naruto maintained a stern expression and heard the trio's story. How they were sold as slaves by their village and how Bach treated them before bringing them here. He realised that they had no home and gave them an option. "I am a member of the Jaegers, a special police force that hunts down criminals that disturb the peace. I might be able to do something for you until a permanent solution can be made." Naruto looked over his shoulder and turned to the girls, who each had their jaws wide open in shock. "Well, are you coming?" The girls then smiled and followed their new 'master', in their eyes at least. Next, we find Naruto sitting in front of Esdeath and the other Jaegers.

"Explain why you were late?" Esdeath asked him sternly and depending on his answer, she would punish him.

"I killed some human traffickers and saved three girls." He answered honestly, surprising the others. "Basically, just doing my job, Boss. Protecting the people from the scum of the country." Naruto looked at the door. "Come in, girls." The three came out and confirmed his story, with Fal now in cast and was using crutches.

"You three, tell me what happened?" Esdeath commanded them, her presence alone made the three gulp. The three told her everything, from almost being tortured by the maniacs, to Naruto arriving in the nick of time. She turned back to Naruto. "Well done." This made everyone in the room give their own comedic reactions.

"Say wha…?" Was Naruto's intelligent answer.

"You had every right to kill those people." She smiled. "You acted and did your duty. That is all that I ask. However, these three girls have nowhere to go now, so how will you deal with this?" Bols answered her.

"My wife runs a bakery and she is looking for staff. Maybe they can work for her and in exchange we'll provide them a place to stay." Bols suggested, which made Naruto cry in happiness. He grabbed Bols hands.

"You're an angel Bols!" Naruto had imaginary stars twinkling around him. His expression made the others look at him strangely. The girls then got a good look at Bols and screamed at his appearance. Naruto looked at them and sighed. "Relax, Bols is like a cuddly teddy bear. Right, buddy?" Naruto placed his right arm over Bols' shoulder.

"C-Come on Naruto, y-you're embarrassing me!" As soon as Bols said those words, air and her friends realised that maybe Bols might not be so bad.

"I-I thin we'll take the offer, Mr Bols." Air answered for them and Bols was overjoyed. Esdeath clapped to gain their attention.

"That's settled then, but since you two need to get these ladies sorted out, we start our hunt tomorroe." This confused the others, however, Esdeath explained that some strange new danger beast type appeared and that they were tasked to bring them back to the Capital. She split them into groups now. "Kurome, Run and I will go as one group, Bols and Seryu in another. Wave, you can go with Tatsumi since he'll be joining us. Naruto, since Stylish is nowhere to be seen, you must go alone. From what I've observed at Gyogan Lake and from what your new friend told me, I know you can handle yourself in a fight. You must guard an official of the Empire, however, if you meet anyone in Night Raid, only engage if you have no other option. Understood?" Naruto and the others nodded. "Good. Naruto, you and Bols go sort out their dilemma. Tatsumi, you can stay with the guy's tonight. I have business to attend to tonight." Tatsumi sighed in relief.

"Right! You three come with me and Naruto. We'll settle you in." Bols and Naruto lead the trio to their new life.

(Honest's office at night time)

"Understood, Prime Minister." Esdeath left after getting her orders for capturing the new danger beasts. Honest began to eat some pudding, only for a voice to scare him and making him spit it out.

"You sure love your desserts." The man who watched Akame and Kurome get taken away from each other arrived.

"Blood Night!" Honest drank some wine after nearly choking on his food. "Don't scare me like that!"

"But it's too much fun to scare you." He then held up his hands as Honest glared at him. "Fine, party pooper, no cake for you." This made Honest stand right up.

"You have cake!?" Honest drooled a little.

"Just an expression, moron." Blood Night replied to him, making Honest go red a little. "We need to talk about that Naruto boy who insulted you a while back." This made Honest cranky and scowl at Naruto's name being mentioned. "Do not think of killing him just yet. I know you found out who his father is."

"So, you know too. Then you know why he's dangerous. The blood of two former generals run in his veins and even Esdeath doesn't now how strong he is." Honest held a little fear in his voice.

"Hehe. You're scared of him, despite having Esdeath on your side. You know she can control her subordinates very well, she even converted Liver to her side, a former general who spoke out against you." Blood Night then handed Honest a vile filled with a chemical.

"Is this the serum you were talking about?" Honest looked at it while licking his lips.

"Yes, but it's still untested. I suggest finding a Guinea pig to see for any side effects before trying it for yourself." Blood Night then changed the subject. "I see Makoto still listens to you without question it seems." Honest gave a mad grin at this.

"Yes, the little monarch has no idea what is really going on. The Revolutionaries are a pain though. Especially the Akame." He then glared at Blood Night. "That little brat was your and Gozuki's responsibility. Now I have to end up fixing it."

"Technically, Esdeath is the one who's trying to clean up the mess. Plus, I believe you were the one whom ultimately lead her astray." Blood Night gave a small chuckle. "Remember, no harm comes to Naruto." His mood changed to a serious one. "Or Kurome." He then reverted to his normal mood. "Chao!" Blood Night made a waved Honest off and disappeared into the shadows.

'That man scares me. Truth be told, I'm glad he's not my enemy, yet.' Honest enjoyed some more pudding. 'You still haunt me from the grave, Minato Namikaze.'

(The next day, with Naruto)

"See you guys around! Jojo! Let's ride!" Naruto and his trusted steed left in. 'I have a bad feeling.' Naruto began to see corruption in the Capital =

(Unknown Village, sometime later)

'Okay, I'm here. Now to find the guy.' Lubbock was relatively unknown to the Empire and had yet to have a wanted poster of his own, making him the perfect choice for this assassination mission. 'The official in this town abused his power and takes girls from the streets and makes them him his slaves.' Lubbock's fist tightened. 'I'll make him choke to death!' Lubbock did not expect to almost get run over by Naruto and Jojo. "Hey! Watch it!" Lubbock almost blew his cover and placed his hands over his mouth. Naruto and Jojo stopped, with Naruto looking back with a sheepish look.

"Hey!" Naruto remembered Lubbock from the stadium, with Lubbock also realising whom Naruto was. "You're the guy from the tournament?" Lubbock sighed, he thought Naruto was just a normal guy. "Never introduced myself, I'm Naruto, part of the special police, the Jaegers." Now Lubbock was completely horrified.

'He's a Jaeger!?' Lubbock's mission got harder. The Revolutionaries did not expect a Jaeger to arrive until much, much later.

"You alright?" Naruto's question brought Lubbock back to reality. "Oh, you must be mad? Sorry for almost running over you." Naruto got off his horse and bowed.

"Oh, don't worry about it. Name's Lubbock." Lubbock bowed in return. 'I don't feel any danger from this guy. I feel relaxed around him for some reason? That's what makes him dangerous.' "Sorry if I sound rude, but what're you doing here exactly?" While Lubbock was a good liar, Naruto was good at reading people.

'His tone indicates that he's a little nervous. Must be on a job. guess I'll tell him the same thing.' "Just on a job for my boss. You?" Lubbock gave the same answer.

'He must be here to guard the target? I could take him out right now, but I'll risk getting discovered. If leave him, he'll just guard the target and I know nothing of his abilities. What should I do?' While Lubbock was thinking, Naruto sat back on Jojo's saddle, which brought the green-haired man back to reality.

"Sorry for being rude, but I have to get going. I'll see you around, Lubbock. Let's go, Jojo!" Naruto left a pale-looking Lubbock.

'I MESSED UP!' Lubbock placed his hand on his head but then calmed himself down. 'I'll have to do this quietly and quickly!' Lubbock made his way to the target.

End. Hope you enjoyed this, would've updated sooner, but got a little distracted. I had to rewrite the last 300 words and had a little problem with the pacing. I got to say, I'm a little disappointed with the lack of reviews, it makes me want to stop writing. I might work on Great Sea next or this story, since the lack of reviews, I'll alternate between stories until this one is finished.

Naruto in this chapter proves that he's willing to use extreme methods, but that does not mean he's a sadist. It's like the Bat-Family from DC Comics, interrogating criminals for information. The only difference is, in the Akame Ga Kill world, killing is natural. Naruto still has his determination, his maturity from later on in canon and the will never to give up, as well as a heart of justice. Filler and movies take the mick out of Naruto's intelligence, but we all know he is quite deceptive.

I've changed Naruto's English voice actor to Troy Baker, I think Troy's Greed voice would be perfect for the interrogation scene. Any question's please PM and please review ladies and gentlemen.
