Hello everyone, I hope you like this second chapter and yes, there will be changes coming as so far it will follow the main route.
Chapter 2: Reboot
A single day had passed since the incident, Naruto was simply staring at two graves located on a cliff that gave him a beautiful view of the surroundings. Said graves of stones had yellow flowers placed upon them.
(We three swear that as we live together, we'll die together!)
"Don't worry...Sayo... Ieyasu..." As he spoke, he closed his eyes while thinking of them. "I won't let your deaths be meaningless.."
It was at this moment, he was hit by a new sensation from a pair of arms suddenly making there way around his neck while a pair of bouncy flesh covered in cloth laid on his head.
"What are you doing?."
"Nothing much came to see if you decided you'll join us yet or not?."
After their small exchange, the male blonde looks up a little to looks at her large breasts.
"Mind removing your breasts from my head?." His questioned earned a laugh as she pulls him more into them.
"What? A couple of days ago you couldn't get enough of my lushes pair, now you don't even want to feel them?." Her question earned a sigh from his lips as he knew she was trying to distract him from his problems.
"Fine, I'll join you guys..." Upon hearing that, a smile formed on her face as she proceeds to switch positions suddenly, sitting on his lap while shoves his face in between her breasts.
"You've got a real talent for killing, you know.." The moment she brought that up, the blood immediately drained from his face despite the position he was it and didn't meet her eyes.
"It's because I've killed when I was just a child..." All she knew was to change the subject and immediately gets off of him, walking behind him just as she grabs his collar of his jacket and starts dragging him away from the cliff.
"Anyway, I'll introduce you to the others today!" She told her fellow blonde and new personal man-meat all the while, Akame was watching this whole scene but continues on her way.
"I'm glad you'll be joining us.." Spoke the purple-haired woman who wore glasses, her outfit gave off a Chinese dynasty feeling to it and just smiles at Naruto.
"Hey!" That sudden shut has drawn all three of their attention towards the doorway. "Wait for a second, Leone. Why did you let him into our headquarters?"
That single demand was followed by her pointing directly at him with contempt.
"Ah Mine, why can't you be nice? He's one of us now."
"Like hell he is!"
As she denied his new membership, Naruto made a mental note of the pink banshee to call her pink banshee who gets in his face.
"Weak, there's no way you could work with professionals like us—" She was stopped by Naruto turning away to her without a care, extending a hand to the girl known as Sheele.
"I'm glad to be your teammate." He told her, gaining a smile from the woman who shakes it yet this only caused the glare at the back of his head to continue.
"HEY, STOP IGNORING ME!"
"Hey Leone, what's with the Pink Haired Banshee?"
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!"
It was with this argument, both Leone and Sheele laugh as they argued, Mine getting angry while Naruto replying to her words.
"The training grounds here are good for blowing off stress. And that guy over there who's probably reeking of sweat right now...is Bulat." As the blonde said those words, Naruto was watching the musician man with an odd hairdo training in an open area that lacked grass.
Naruto could see that the speed he swung that staff was causing a whirlwind effect by the sight of the wind moving until finishing with one single move, sending a strong gust of wind in all directions, hitting both as he relaxes and turns to see them with surprise.
"You must be the young man from the other day," He was proceeding to approach them with a relaxed expression on his face. "I heard you were able to survive to fight Akame till Leone cut in."
The sight of his bodies size and his voice all but confirmed to Naruto at who he was.
"You must be the guy in the armor, I'm Naruto by the way." After saying that, he extended a hand towards the man who takes it in a shake.
"He's gay." That sudden statement caused Naruto to blink in surprise at why telling Hokage's that was necessary until seconds later.
"Hey, now. Don't give him the wrong idea, yet?" At the end of saying that, a cold chill had run up Naruto's spine as he quickly pulls his hand away.
"Ok..." He's starting to creep the hell out of me!"
It was after this thought, Bulat spoke upon seeing his expression.
"Ah don't worry, I already heard that your the man-meat Leone was referring to, so I won't be trying to steal you away." It was after saying that Naruto felt two emotions, one being relaxed while the other annoyed at being referred to as a sexual object.
"It's almost time for Miss Leone's bath!" The words had originated from one green-haired perverted mouth, laying at the edge to a cliff where he saw the hot springs, standing up with excitement. "For a glimpse of those tits, I'll brave any danger!"
That was until a certain right hand found its way to his head, lifting him up as he was now fearful.
"How about I break two of your fingers?" Her words held no sympathy at a guy wanting to see her so-called rocking body, proceeding to then bend his fingers causing the guy to scream like a little bitch.
"I can't blame him."
It was with that thought of sympathy he watched the guy now on the ground with Leone having placed her foot on his back, preventing him from getting up.
"Damn it! This won't stop me! FAILURE WILL ONLY HELP ME SUCCEED!" His words were followed by cracks from his arm being held in a lock.
"Then I'll break your arms too." She turns to look at Naruto with a small smile. "That aside, this idiot Lubbock and Lubbock, this is Naruto." Leone said yet almost immediately he found himself in front of the guy who took his arms, tears appearing in his eyes.
"I heard you actually slept with Leone, I must know what did her boobs feel like?! Were they soft or firm, or were they both?! Please tell me, oh great Man-meat!" It was as soon as he finished that, Naruto's eye twitches.
"WILL YOU PEOPLE STOP CALLING ME THAT!"
"Ahahahaha, common loosen up already," The fellow blonde had an arm wrapped around him, hugging him into her with a smile upon her face of enjoyment. "you can't blame him."
Her words just caused him to stare at her like she was kidding all the while they were walking across from the river, while the sun turned into the sunset.
"He was bowing to me and wouldn't stop referring me as the Great Man-Meat, it was utterly annoying, more so him wanting to learn under me." He complained without a hint of happiness, unlike the girl who gave a laugh.
"Can you blame him? He's been trying to get a look at my boobs since we met and all of a sudden you come along and in less than a day, I end up taking your virginity."
Her words trigger another blush from the fellow blonde who looks away while the woman smiles happily, poking his chest as she tries to get more of a rise.
"Awww, seems someone is blushing. Is it that someone's eagerly awaiting round two but better prepared?"
Naruto didn't answer as he noticed something up ahead which she did, too and smiles.
"Next is this pretty lady, so I'm sure you won't be disappointed after all you two almost killed each other." As soon as she said it, they stopped upon seeing Akame eating, sitting at a large fire cooking a large bird.
"Isn't she cute?" Her question warmed a raised eyebrow, he would more so say she was beautiful tho as of now he just glances at the large ass bird she killed and now munching on before turning towards them.
"Seems I'm not the only one who has a large appetite." After muttering that, he approached the girl who was eyeing him closely, something about him gained her attention like it was scratching her in the back of her mind.
"You eat too, Leone."
"Thanks."
Was all that was said in the exchange as Akame tossed a piece of the bird to her which she catches happily before seeing that two looking at each other and smiles since she knew they would get along.
"Have you decided to join us, man-meat?" It was a simple question that lacked much emotion, even the last part that got a heavy sigh after an eye twitch which Naruto turns to look at the fire, a simple nod before given and piece it he was handed a piece of the evil bird as a token of acceptance.
"Thanks." His tone lacked emotion as he took a bite and blinks in surprise. "Tastes like chicken."
With that said, he quickly starts eating as he hasn't had a good meal since yesterday.
"Wow, you sure went all-out tonight." Leone suddenly asked, her question gaining Naruto's attention to see her toss the bone over her shoulder.
"The boss is back."
Wide eyes were what followed and surprise which the fellow blonde decides to circle around the bird to find said 'boss'.
"Oh! Boss!" As she spoke with happiness, the silver-haired woman gave a small wave. "Welcome back! Did you bring any souvenirs?"
Her question of hopefulness was shattered when she spoke up.
"One moment, Leone. I heard that your most recent assignments, I was told you exceeded the time limit on the job and had the others help you out all because you decided to instead sleep with a man. Correct?" As she asked that, her right mechanical arm was twitching just as the two blonde's eyes widen with the blonde looking down with a side glance from Akame on him while Leone began sweating before running as fast as she could.
"Oh no, you don't."
As those words were uttered, her metal arm suddenly fired out its hand like a grappling hook, grabbing her scarf and began reeling her in.
"I wouldn't recommend taking to much pleasure in fighting but in this case, you need to immediately break this before it becomes a habit." As she spoke, Leone finally replied to her words.
"Okay! Just stop reeling me in!" The blonde whines while Naruto just sighs at the girl's attics while the boss let her go finally.
"Anyway, who's this young man?" As she asked that, she looks at Naruto from beyond the fire before he was immediately dragged to his feet and brought in front of the woman as of presenting a parent a boyfriend.
"He has great talent and was able to match Akame, boss!" Her sudden words of praise earned a surprised look upon the woman.
"Are you sure?" As she asked that, she focuses on the blonde.
"I do and it turns out he carries the Teigu the Wicked Jester Blade, he has promise." The moment he heard that name, Naruto showed clear shock at how she knew his blades name just as the woman's eyes narrow.
"Akame, gather the others." Once she orders that, the woman stands up while putting her trench coat back on.
"I want your report, along with more details on this young man." Once ordered, the smiling blonde-haired woman just nods.
"I understand the situation." Spoke the woman knowing as Najenda who sat on a chair in front of everyone. "Naruto... Would you like to join Night Raid?" With that question, she had extended a metal hand.
"I already said yes, I may have lost the main reason to even live now...but now I have something else that will keep me going, one goal which this group will help me achieve..." It was with that seriousness and lack of emotion they all focus on Naruto in wonder. "Revenge, I want to seal that bastard prime minister's soul in Wicked Jester and make him suffer for all the sins he's committed." It was after finishing that he was given looks of surprise.
"Interesting, you see there's an anti-imperial force, the Revolutionary Army, whose headquarters lie to the far south of the capital. Though they started small, the army has grown into an organization of considerable size. Thus, they needed a smaller team to carry out covert operations such as intelligence gathering and assassination. That team is us: Night Raid. Though we currently charged with mere pest control, once we mobilize, we'll use the ensuing confusion to reach the prime minister and crush the corruption of the empire at its source. And at that moment, the country will be born anew." Hearing that mission caused Naruto to smirk in delight.
"Each one of us has a reason to fight. We're all prepared for what could happen. With you, it's revenge, as well as you'll be compensated with your hard work which you will be able to save your village." A single nod was given in response.
"You may never be able to return to that village of yours," The sudden involvement of Mine surprised Naruto, yet all he did was a glance at her. "you know."
All he did was look away, a lost look appearing in his eyes.
"That was never my home, the chief found me after I—" He suddenly stops cold, which everyone caught on in wonder of what he was about to say. "Never mind I rather not talk about it."
With that said, Najenda just smiles as she spoke.
"Welcome to the Bloody life of an assassin, Naruto. This meeting is adjourned for tonight." With that said, Naruto noticed something from the corner of his eyes and glances at Akame who seems to be looking at him.
"Akame." The sudden name call gained her raven-haired girl's attention. "I'll leave Naruto's training to you."
When he heard that, Naruto was surprised when he heard that and looks at the girl again.
"If he becomes a burden, feel free to kill him."
"Understood."
"Wow, that's hurtful," Naruto muttered under his breath, yet Leone chuckles as she wraps an arm around him.
"Work hard,'cos your life will depend on it!" Her words of encouragement in a way didn't really hit there mark as the blonde just looks at the girl who was indifferent in killing him yet while this was happening, Najenda is staring at Naruto with narrowed eyes.
"Could he be the one that I heard about...from that report?" Najenda thought to herself, her thoughts on a certain case which was so gruesome and horrifying it was never supposed to see the light of day, having happened six years ago.
"Akame, can you wait after the food is ready to snack on it?" Came a question from one certain blonde who was preparing food next to Akame who was currently taking pieces of fruit.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
Her words of disagreement, only earned a raised eyebrow as he stared at the girl popping a grape in her mouth.
"That outfit really suits a newbie like you." Came the weds of the pink devil who insulted him, Mine is also known as short-stack or Pink Banshee, but her words fell to deaf ears as he continued cutting the carrots.
"Hey Akame, could you close the window. The breeze is noisy."
Upon hearing that, a tic mark forms on Mine's forehead while Bulat, Lubbock, and Sheele just smile.
"Where are you guys going, anyway?" Naruto finally asked at seeing they were prepared to leave for something.
"We're on an emergency assignment."
Hearing that, Naruto simply understands tho Pinky decided to try and insult him again, only to fail.
"Ha! How does it feel having to stay and cook, you can't-ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?!" Mine yell seemed to finally gain Naruto's attention.
"Oh hey Mine," With a wave added to it, he purposely pissed the girl off. "I didn't see you there."
"WHY YOU, LET ME AT HIM!"
Yet nothing happened as Bulat restrained the small girl with ease by picking her up and putting her over his shoulder all the while she struggled. It was at this point they all finally left, leaving the two by themselves and when Naruto reach for the potatoes to peel, that was when Akame noticed it from the corner of her eye, glancing to see for a split second a burn on his arm before it was concealed again by the sleeve.
"Didn't expect to do this in the morning." Was what was said by the main protagonist who stood next to Akame, looking over the waterfall and river from the cliff they stood on.
"Today," Started Akame as she loosens her tie to then remove it. "we'll gather our prey from this lake."
After hearing that, he turns to her questionably and the moment he saw her lifting her shirt, giving him a glance of her underboobs, he turned into a blushing idiot as he turns fast, not embarrassed.
"What's with you?" The sudden question being asked cashed the blonde to peek out. "Why are you panicking?"
What he saw was that under her clothing we wore quite the nice swimsuit, placing a hand on her hip, gaining a swallow of saliva from Naruto who was mesmerized by her figure and one once again her beauty.
"Whoa..." Just as he mutters that, he watched her walk past him towards the edge of the cliff.
"Today, our target is Koga tuna. This is the best location so try to get as many as you can manage." Without waiting for a reply, she immediately dives in the water while doing a flip.
"Damn hormones..." The blonde muttered as he immediately starts messing with his pants to move a certain part of him that had already started to press into his pants, trying to be free before immediately stopping the moment a seven fish flew into the air, landing in the basket on Naruto's side.
"That's some great accuracy."
Just after stating the obvious, Akame came up from the water.
"Dive into the depths of the lake and remain absolutely still. The moment your prey draws near, you strike. Concentration is the key. Can you do it?" It was by then that Naruto finally took in her words and appeared uncomfortable whole removing the basket, gripping his shirt.
"..."
Nothing was said as the whiskered one bit his lip before he let out a sigh.
"Promise me... You won't say a thing to the others..." Without waiting for a reply, Naruto began removing his clothes until he's down to his boxers and what Akame saw turned her wide-eyed. On his body were tons of scars from deep slashes and burns, while there's a brand in the middle of his chest of the kanji for the word slave.
Without uttering a word Naruto dives into the water, giving Akame seconds before five fish flew out of the water and into the basket before Naruto rises, from the water with a small gasp of air all the while giving Akame the view of whipping scars on his back which he turns to her, revealing a sad expression.
"Don't... Just don't say anything..." Once he asked that, Naruto swam to the rock wall and started climbing it, followed by Akame who did the same as the two ended up at the top again. He goes to grab his clothing when his eyes narrowed upon his wrist being grabbed.
"You..." She has a few seconds to try and say what needed to be said, past memories making it difficult. "were a Slave."
As if in confirmations she saw Naruto grit his teeth, pulling his arm away and heads for his clothes until Akame did something unexpected that caught him off guard. She hugged him from behind, other times he would be reduced to a blushing teen upon feeling her smooth skin and breasts pressing against his back, but right not he was lacking in that emotion.
"Please... Just let go... I don't want any treatment like this since I just joined yesterday so... Just let go..."
His words were denied as she strengthened her hold on him, this caused him to look annoyed before turning to be met with complete shock as he froze, what he saw, was Akame placing a finger on the top, the right side which she starts moving just enough to give him a look at what was behind it, it wasn't the breast he saw that got his attention, it was a brand...the very same brand.
"When I and my sister were just kids, we were sold into slavery... It was hell for both of us, we were only able to survive long enough because we had each other...but on that day... I know it now... IT WAS YOU WASN'T IT?! YOU WERE THE ONE THAT FREED EVERYONE!" Akame yelled loudly, shaking even while removing her top to then hug Naruto once more closely but he just looks away.
"Please, leave me alone..." As he begs her, he proceeds to remove her arms from and approaches his clothing, causing Akame to look down at knowing why he seems very hurt, all the while, Najenda, who was silent till now finally spoke with narrowed eyes next to a sad-looking Leone.
"I was right, he was the one from the report... The one that was found by the revolutionary army who were searching for the missing children." After saying that, Leone looks at her questionably, knowing he was a slave just like Akame but not what else happened, or how they escaped.
"I looked into the reports... they managed to locate the camp that children but knowing they would be found, started executing children left and right," When she heard that Leone's eyes widen all the way in shock as Akame never told her about her time as a slave. "in order to prevent them from saying anything yet...because of him, he managed to get 153 children free, saving them... When we arrived... The 247 guards that were there...they were massacred, a lot missing their heads and torn apart a nightmare. They found that boy in the center of the bloody mess holding onto that blade, the Wicked Jester... When they tried to take it...they instantly died having their souls absorbed into the blade... That young man was only 10 that day, without a doubt he killed them all since that Teigu, the Wicked Jester had a past of controlling its users except one... One who sought revenge which the jester helped achieve, I don't know it fully but he is by far the most dangerous person in the capital... The chief of his village took Naruto in a few days later after what happened, having been close friends with his parents who were killed by the slavers, and to keep an eye on him and away from the empire they let him live there..." Once that was said, she could see the disbelief on Leone's face.
"It's hard to believe they came from the same camp." Leone finally said, seeing Akame just looking down at her feet.
FLASHBACK SIX YEARS AGO
Iliac sentence
"Why...dammit why...me..."
That was every kid's thoughts, one being a certain blonde who was beaten and tortured, sitting within a cage by himself while there were other children near him, within there own cages looking like they haven't eaten in weeks while appearing to be skinny and bony.
"What, are you serious?!" The hell was sudden, surprising a few at hearing the fear in his tone, turning to look at the one in charge arguing with another slaver.
"Yeah, the revolutionary army is coming towards us as we speak, we have to get rid of all these children first or else they'll know too much." With that said, a sigh and a nod were given.
"Do it, kill them all, we can get more children any time we want." It was after that was said, Naruto only looked up weakly before they widen in horror as screams filled the night from men stabbing children to death with swords, horrifying them as both grips the bars of his cage in horror. The expressions of joy on the slavers faces and hurts destroyed Naruto.
"Why... Why does this have to happen?! WHY ME?! GOD, WHY DO I HAVE TO SUFFER, TELL ME!"
As he thought that, having reached his breaking point. Tears...tears began falling from his eyes. As he found one soldier standing in front of him, without being given a chance to do anything, he was stabbed through the stomach that results in him vomiting out blood as his body went limp, seeing this was when the man pulls his blade out and turns away.
As he lay there, he tried struggling yet nothing was working as all he could do was hold his body up, glaring at the man with blood leaking from his mouth. In his eyes, wasn't burning wrath, his undying rage.
"Damn... DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL! I REFUSE TO DIE LIKE THIS!" He screamed yet or fell to deaf ears as he was ignored since he would die from his wounds soon.
"I'LL DRAG YOU ALL TO HELL! I'LL KILL YOU WITH BARE HANDS, DO YOU HERE ME, WITH MY BARE HANDS!" As he screamed the tears turn to blood just as darkness appeared before him, silencing the boy who stares at in because before him was Wicked Jester's blade, a demonic-looking sword.
"YoU wAnT tHe PoWeR tO pUnIsH tHeM aLl, ThEn UsE mE. UsE mY pOwEr WhEnEvEr YoU wAnT bUt In ReTuRn YoU mUsT kEeP kIlLiNg SeNdInG mOrE sHe MoRe To My WoRlD. YoU mUsT dRaG tHeM aLl To My WoRlD!"
As he heard those words, Naruto extends his right hand grabbing the hilt of the blade with his eyes burning with a vengeance.
"I DONE CARE, IF YOU GIVE ME POWER THEN I DON'T CARE, I WANT TO MAKE THEM PAY, ALL OF THEM!" Naruto yelled with rage and in turn he heard a sinister laughter which the blade explodes with darkness drawing everyone's attention as the campfires were blow out, making it dark again as they all witness the cage exploding and with it saw Naruto consumed by darkness as it became pitch black and what appears next is shocking, it consumes him and transform into a monster, a wicked-looking Jester in humanoid as an adult. Seeing this, one slaver was overjoyed at seeing if finally appeared.
"You actually came," He Spoke whole approaching the being. "my lord can you kill the—" He was silenced by his head being removed from his body, shocking the slavers and hues while all the cages suddenly opened as the slavers stare the monster who held the blade.
"ThIs IsNt YoUr WoRlD, nOt AnYmOrE!" With that shout, he charges at them and in one movement chops the leader's legs off, gaining a scream of pain as the man was waving his hands yet a black hand comes of its body, grabbing the leader who's screaming and rips his soul out which it was then absorbed into the blade.
"I'll kIlL eVeRy LaSt OnE oF yOu!" As he roared loudly, he began his mass murder as he started ripping past one by one, splattering them everywhere.
"YoUr MiNe AlL oF yOu!" He roared as the children are running away as fast as they can, two being Akame and Kurome side-by-side before Kurome trips on a sword, falling down yet before Akame could help her, two soldiers take them as hostages.
"Why are you doing this! We sacrifice these children to bring you back! Stay back, or we'll slice the—" He stopped cold as the two were looking up at seeing it looking down at them, telling them very clearly that hostages don't matter and before they could try to run their heads were sent flying off their bodies, spilling blood over the two horrified children that we're being looked down by the monster that seemed to be more relaxed/
"Leave...NoW!" As he said the second word, he was reverting back to his monster personality, causing the two girls to run before the monster turns around.
"Now..." As he said, he could see more were frozen in place.
"LeT mE hErE yOu ScrEaM, tHe HuNt BeGiNs! AHAHAHAHAH!" With that said, an everlasting smile on the wicked jester's face widens. Throughout the night, it was filled with screams of terror and horror.
"Ahahahaha, I killed them. They've all been sent to Jester's world, yes. I avenged my parents and the children, not one survived...not one..."
A body his the floor with the darkness disappearing to reveal Naruto's entire body covered, laying in a puddle while his smile changes as tears begin coming from his eyes once more.
"There is no god... This world... I'm... In hell." The boy said, the darkness having healed all his wounds.
"YoU aRe ThE oNe, ThAt... WaS tRuLy MaGnIfIcEnT, fAr MoRe ThEn mY lAsT fAvOrItE."
With those words and laughter, Naruto finally found darkness.
