Chapter 4

NIGHT

"(Yawn)", Naruto opens his eyes slowly as he sits up in his bed tiredly and glances outside at the red moon which he gets out of bed and walks too the window and stops as he's looking at the red moon.

"Just like when my parents died...", Naruto said to himself with narrowed eyes.

"Come back to bed", someone said which Naruto looks at Akane in her pajamas which is just her underwear looking at Naruto sleepily.

"Ok", Naruti said as he gives the red moon one more face and walks back to bed and then gets in it which Akame smiles snuggling with him.

"I could get used to this Akame", Naruto said smiling.

DREAM END

"OW!", Naruto said as he fell out of bed but his eyes widen not from falling out of bed in the morning but from Akame dressed and staring at him.

"It's time to prepare breakfast, also did you say my-", Akame was cut off by a blushing Naruto waving his arms at her while shaking his head.

"Nope, I didn't say anything", Naruto said still blushing which Akame stands up then walks out of the room leaving Naruto alone who proceeds to get dressed but as he's doing so for a split second he saw someone in the mirror? A man looking exactly like Kouga Kuchiki from bleach which Naruto immediately turns but there's no one there?

KITCHEN

Naruto puts the apron on as he enters the kitchen to find Akame preparing the food.

"What are we making today?", Naruto asks which she proceeds to show him a potato?

"Croquette bowls", Akame answered causing him to sigh at this.

AFTER LUNCH

Naruto finishes eating his food as he puts the bowl down fool while Leone smiles.

"Thanks for the food!", Leone said while Naruto takes a drink of his water.

"Huh? Mine and Sheele aren't awake yet?", Naruto asked as Akame answers the question.

"Yeah, but its always that way", Akame said while reaching for the food out Naruto grabbed her right hand stoping her.

"Don't even think about it Akame, you already had your share", Naruto said which her eyes narrow at Naruto while Leone is chuckling.

"Any excuse to hold her hand huh?", Leone said causing Naruto to blush as he lets go which Akame proceeds to grab the first bowl eating it all fast but Naruto grabbed the second one taking it away from Akame who stares at Naruto.

"No more food for you, you have had enough-", Naruto was stopped as Akame gives him a smile like she did when she took his shirt off glad he didn't get hurt.

"Never mind...", Naruto said as he hands her back the bowl which she proceeds to gobble it down the wipes her mouth with a napkin.

"I don't get it, do you have a high metabolism or something?", Naruto asks her which she then stands up.

"Naruto, we're naming ramen bowls for lunch", Akame says which Naruto smiles at while Sheele walks in and notices her breakfast is gone.

"Huh? Where's my breakfast?", Sheele says confused at this.

NIGHT

"This time, our target is the slasher we keep hearing about in the capital. He appears late at night, and takes people's heads indiscriminately. It's uncertain his many he's killed", Najenda said while sitting on her chair in front of the others.

"A third of them were guards right?", Naruto asks while Lubbock turns to Najenda.

"Without a doubt, its gotta be Zank the Executioner", Lubbock said confusing Naruto.

"Who he?", Naruto asks confused at that name.

"You've never heard of him? You must have really lined in the sticks", Mine said which Naruto looks at her with annoyance.

"Shut it pink banshee", Naruto said with Mine gets in his face as lighting sparks between them.

"Pervert!", Mine said while Naruto's eye twitches.

"One time, ONE TIME! It was an accident!", Naruto says loudly.

"Excuse me, I don't know who that is, either", Sheele says waving her left hand a little.

"I think you just forgot, Sheele...", Mine says which Naruto sighs.

"So who is he?", Naruto asks confused at this.

"Zank the Executioner... Originally, he was apparently the executioner in the largest prison in the capital. Because of the cabinet minister, the number if people for execution increased. Day after day, he kept cutting off the heads of people who were begging for mercy. After doing this for so many years, it seems cutting off heads became a habit", Mine said which Naruto looks away.

"I feel sorry for that man, to keep killing non stop can cause people to go insane or be obsessed with killing", Naruto said which Mine continues.

"So, since beheading at the prison wasn't enough, he began to kill at random", Mine said and Bulat continues after her.

"Once a punitive squad was formed, he disappeared. To think he'd reappear in the capital...", Bulat said as Naruto's eyes widen.

"I'll find him and stop him", Naruto says but was stopped by Bulat who pats Naruto's head?

"Well, wait a sec, Naruto", Bulat said to Naruto gaining his attention.

"Bro?", Naruto says confused at why he was stopped.

"Zank stole the warden's Imperial Arms, and started his random attacks. We should travel in pairs, or you'll be in danger", Bulat said said now holding Naruto's chin while there's flowers in the background causing Naruto's eye too twitch.

"Ok, he's starting to freak me out again", Naruto thought sweatdropping at this.

"Hey, boss... Did we ever find out what imperial arms Zank has?", Mine asks her.

"Sadly, we're still looking into that", Najenda said not knowing what his Teigu is.

"Then he won't reveal things so easily... That's troublesome", Leone said while Naruto just thought of something.

"Can you tell me more about this subject if imperial arms since I'm from-", Naruto was cut off as Akame's sword is next to Naruto.

"Something like this", Akame said which Naruto proceeds to take his own Teigu out.

"This is a good opportunity. Lets explain it to Naruto", Najenda suddenly said drawing his attention.

"Around a thousand years ago, the emperor who founded the empire was deep in thought. He wanted to protect his kingdom forever but he knew someday he would die. However he thought of weapons and armor that he can pass down into the future to make the kingdom everlasting, so he ordered that weapons of utmost intelligence be created. Materials from legendary super-leveled danger beasts. And rare metals like orichalcum. The best of the best were summoned from around the world. The first emperor's power and assets produced forty-eight weapons that could not be reproduced today, and they were called Imperial Arms. Imperial Arms are all powerful. And among then are said to he some that have the power of a thousand men. The retainers that revived the Imperial Arms were able to achieve even greater military gains. However, due to the great civil war five hundred tears ago, about half those weapons disappeared throughout the land. And that's that", Najenda said which Naruto looks at his Teigu then Akame's.

"Ichizan Hissatsu: Murasame. If you are cut by this enchanted sword, cursed poison enters the wound, leading to death. There is no antidote for the poison. Hundred Beast King Transformation: Lionel. An Imperial Arms shaped like a belt. Users turn themselves into a beast, increasing their physical ability's. sense of smell is also heightened, enabling them to track enemies. Adventurous Spirit Battery: Pumpkin. An Imperial Arms that tajes spiritual energy and expels it as chock wave. The more the worker is in a pinch, the more destructive its powers. Demon Binding: Incursio. An Imperial Arms armor with impregnable defense. Because the bearer is at great risk wearing this, normal people die if they try to do it. Infinite Variety: Cross Tail. An Imperial Arms consisting if stuff strings. He can spread them, creating a barrier that can find traps and enemies. It also has the ability to bind and sever. It lives up to the name "Infinite Variety." Creation Bisector: Extase. Imperial Arms in the form of giant scissors. It possesses the power to bisect anything in the world. Because of its hardness, it can also be used for defense. There are also Imperial Arms that have trump cards. Incursio can take advantage of the materials it was constructed of and make itself invisible for a short while. Because the Imperial Arms have such potential, invoking such trunk cards, one rule has been inviolable through the ages. Using these weapons with murderous intent, with exception, will ultimately resist in a victim. Meaning, if Imperial Arms wielded were to fight one another, one is guaranteed to die... The target, Zank, is an Imperial Arms user. Even if the battle ends in a draw, both work fees cannot live", Najenda said which Naruto is is confused.

"What about mine?", Naruto asks while Najenda touches her chin.

"That us hard to explain", Najenda says cm gaining Naruto's full attention.

"How?", Naruto asks her which Najenda then explains.

"That imperial arms was never said to have been made, it appeared 500 years ago during the Great War, it has multiple abilities which have been forgotten expect one which those who have a wicked heart and are cut by the blade will get there soul pulled out and sealed within the sword itself to be tortured forever in a nightmare realm. That imperial arms is by far the most dangerous since it has more abilities that are unpredictable as well as... It has a soul within it", Najenda says causing Naruto's eyes to widen while everyone looks at the blade.

"The imperial arms is alive, it has a wicked personality age only can be wielded by those with anger and hatred in its heart. It is known to take over its users which makes it even more dangerous", Najenda said causing Naruto to stares at the blade.

"No wonder why it choose me... After all I'm-", Naruto says staring at the blade but stops while the others just stare at Naruto knowing everything from what Najenda told them.

"That's all I have to say, go hunt down the prey that the heavens cannot judge", Najenda orders standing up as Naruto dodges.

NIGHT AT THE CAPITAL CITY

"We're in charge of this section", Akame says next to Naruto who looks around.

"There so scared of the slasher that there staying inside. No", Naruto auto natural stops as he grabs Akame and pulls her to the wall out of the view if the soldiers.

"The imperial capital guards huh...", Naruto said and his eyes widen as he looks down to see his chest against Akame's breasts which she's just staring at Naruto who stumbles backwards blushing red.

"Lets go", Akame said as they begin walking again while Naruto stares at his blade.

FIVE MINUTES LATER

There outside a shop earring food which Naruto stands up.

"You're going to the bathroom?", Akame asks causing Naruto to stop and then sighs while nodding.

ALLEY

Naruto zips his pants up after he's finished and noticed that he's being watched by someone which he turns to find his mom at the end of the alley?!

"Mom?", Naruto said with wide eyes as he starts running after his mother who begins running after him.

10 MINUTES LATER

Naruto is taking deep breaths looking at his mother with wide eyes.

"Mom... How are you alive, both you and dad were killed by the slavers?", Naruto said not understanding it but then he goes and hugs his mom.

"So passionate...", a new voice said causing his eyes to widen as he suddenly jumps back.

"Looks like I showed you something rather special. Good evening", Zank said smiling widely while Naruto glares at him as he tajes his sword out while two hidden blade appear from his sword.

"You can call me, Zank the Executioner", Zank said smiling widely causing Naruto's to show anger.

"Then I found my target", Naruto said with narrowed eyes.

"If you wait for the partner you were separated from but you think you can take me is what you thought right?", Zank said causing his eyes to widen but he looks at the eye.

"Bingo! The Imperial Arms Spected. One of its five visionary I powers, perceptive sight. I can tell my opponents thoughts, just by looking at their expiration. My observations are sharp to the ultimate degree. Wave a shrunken head as a reward?", Zank asks while Naruto grits his teeth which Zank takes a step forward.

"Well, my hobby is to talk. By the way I flung you with my far sight. Even at night or in fog, I can see through things extremely far away!", Zank said while Naruto charges and swings his sword but Zank dodges it easily?!

"This is splendid! You thought if you attached while I was talking, something would come of it? Impossible... Impossible. I can see everything within your heart", Zank says causing Naruto to charge again pissed.

"You'll take a huge step, then swing from above...", Zank says as Naruto did it.

"Then strike up", Zank said which Naruto does it.

"Which was a fake then you win for my throat!", Zank says as he ducks slashing Naruto's stomach causing his eyes do widen.

"That's what you thought wasn't it?", Zank said but Naruto continues slashing but he keeps missing and revives more slashes in his body!

"Come on is that all you got?", Zank said as Naruto yells and keeps swinging but he just dodges it.

"Is that all? Also it seems that you lost your parents at a young age from slavers, I remember hearing something about that inside the imperial palace", Zank said causing Naruto to stop which his eyes widen.

"What?", Naruto asks as Zank laughs at the shocked look on Naruto's face.

"That entire camp was supposed to break the kids down until they were nothing then build them back up and mold them into assassins for the empire, you didn't know that?", Zank asks as Naruto's eyes to widen even more at hearing this.

"W-What?", Naruto said with wide eyes which Zank laughs at this while Naruto looks down with wide eyes at hearing this.

"So... Everyone I cared about... My mom and dad... My friends... It was because of the empire...?", Naruto said as his hair covers his eyes which Zank smiles more.

"Yes, I also was in lover with executing the children when beating them didn't break them", Zank said with a smile causing Naruto's eyes to widen more as he remembers a Zank six years ago killing children when they didn't listen which Naruto's hair was involved.

"I'll let you join you parents-", Zank stops as darkness adults from the sword causing his eyes to widen as Naruto smiles sinisterly?!

"Guess I kissed one", Naruto said as his entire body stares changing as well as getting taller while his face is covered by the mask causing Zank's eyes widen in fear as Naruto now looks like wicked joker and the face is showing that everlasting smile.

"Eheheheheheheheh AHAHAHAH! GUESS I BETTER CLEAN UP THE REST OF THE MESS I MADE, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!", Naruto laughs loudly while his swirls turns back into that long Katana?

"Now I'll show you what death is, and be grateful I won't take your soul... I'm already full from all those slavera I killed!", Naruto said causing Zank's eyes to widen as Naruto charges.

"What is he?!", Zank thought as all he saw was darkness.

5 MINUTES LATER

By the time Akame arrived it was already done. Naruto has his back turned to her looking like he normally does but his body is covered in blood while there's a puddle of blood he'a standing in while he's standing in front of the massacred body of Zank who doesn't have any body parts missing his his arms and legs.

"You can't hear it anymore can you, the screams of the people and children you've killed", Naruto said to Zank.

Zank's ear's covering shatters as he stares at the sky.

"The noises... Have stopped. S-Splendid... Splendid... Only a monster can kill a monster, thank you, Naruto...", Zank said Naruto turns to Akame which her eyes widen at the lifeless look in his eyes which he walks past her as sheaths his normal looking blade.

"I'm going home...", Naruto said as he continues to walk while Akame just turns to Naruto.

NEXT DAY

Naruto is sitting in front if the two graves staring at them with a sad look in his eyes.

"I lost control again guys... Sorry...", Naruto says which suddenly an apron falls on his head which he lifts is a little then turns too Akame.

"What are you doing? It's time to prepare dinner. Even wounded, there are things you can do", Akame says which Naruto shrugs as he stands up.

"Why do we kill... Why do people hurt others?...why is this world hell...", Naruto thought to himself looking at the view.

"Akame... I'll tell you something but swear not to tell anyone...", Naruto said confusing Akame.

"What?", Akame said as Naruto walks towards her and passes Akame.

"After I send the Prime Minister's soul into Wicked Jester's world... I'm going to kill myself", Naruto said causing her eyes to widen.
