Hello everyone, I hope you like this next chapter.

Chapter 3: Reboot

It was the very same day that the conversation happened, the blonde with whiskers sat in silence as he ate, not only him but also Akame who sat across from him next to Leone without a word as well, leading to their boss Najenda being the one to break the silence by sighing.

"All right, Leone." The sudden name gained the lion girls attention as she looks up from her food. "Let's hear this case of yours."

Just after hearing that, a nod of understanding was given by the other blonde who proceeded to pull out two drawn pictures of men.

"The targets this time are Ogre, of the imperial police, and Gamal, an oil merchant. According to our client, Gamal the oil merchant has been paying Ogre a huge amount in bribes. Each time Gamal commute a crime, Ogre pins the blame on an innocent bystander. The fiancée of the man that was executed for a crime that he didn't commit paid us... She was really broken and this is the payment."

It was after that explanation, Naruto watched as she placed a bag filled with money on the table and with it, his eyes merely narrow.

"Tell me..." When he said that, the others turned their attention to him as he stared at the money. "How did she get that much...?"

This had caused Leone to grip her left arm while they were crossed, not going unnoticed by Naruto.

"She smelled of disease. I imagine she sold her body many times to earn this." Upon hearing that, Naruto just grits his teeth in anger.

"Have you verified the case?"

"I confirmed her words myself. The targets are guilty."

With that exchange, Najenda just lights her cigarette to smoke.

"All right. Night Raid accepts the case. Our new nation has no need for such scum. We shall bring divine punishment to them." Once spoken, Leone responded.

"The merchant, Gamal, should be easy." She glances at the second one more seriously tho. "But Ogre will be a formidable opponent. Ogre, the demon. He's—"

She was silenced by Naruto suddenly standing up from his seat.

"I already know who he is, he drinks off duty on the Main Street." The moment he said that they were surprised why he knew that. "I was already planning on killing him when I heard the rumors at the Pub about that man... I'll send him to Wicked Jester's world so give that woman her money back, you can instead take this mission off as my pay." Once that was said, he starts heading for the door just as Akame stood up with Najenda speaking.

"However, security is tight that close to the palace. It would be dangerous for someone like Akame, who faces is publicly known. So only Naruto and Leone can do it, but besides..." Najenda said while he door was closed behind Naruto, having left the room.

"He should blow off some steam..."

Once that was said, both Akame and Leone look at each other.


It was a peaceful night from the looks, even if it was indeed fake. He stood cloaked while waiting for his target but as he was, he was lost in thought.

(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!)

Remembering her words, he just leans his head back, staring at the moon as he recalls Leone's words.

"Naruto, I should tell you about Akame's past. When Akame was a child, she and her sister were sold into slavery by their mother... after that you set them free she was captured then forced into an assassin-training program, along with over 100 other children that were set free by you, and trained to kill. She managed to survive that hellish experience and emerged as an assassin who worked at the bidding of the empire. However, as Akame carried out her missions, she began to sense the empires true nature. It was one of her targets, our boss, who persuaded her to defect to the Revolutionary Army, who stood up for the citizens. But by that time, most of the comrades she grew up with had died. Do you understand what in saying?"

As that memory ended, his target finally came in sight. Walking past him, happy about his job.

"Phew! Nothin' beats a nice, cool drink after a long, torture." As he spoke, his smile very much irritated the blonde who approached him from behind.

"Excuse me, sir?"

This caused the man to stop in his tracks, turning to look at the much shorter one.

"There's something I wanted to ask you, but in private since I'm embarrassed." This earned a blink of surprise from the man.


The silence was all there was, the two stood in a dark alleyway with the man already suspicious of Naruto who's back was turned towards him.

Orge is standing in front of Naruto's whose back is turned towards him until he spoke.

"This is the place..." Almost immediately the man grabs his blade, not liking this feeling.

"Given the timing, I'm guessing the fiancée of the guy I just disposed of. I knew I should have taken care of her too, but yet, I guess it's not too late even now." As he spoke, he didn't realize his sheathed Blade was already pouring out darkness. "I'm gonna hunt down that bitch, have her entire family arrested, and then execute them one by one before her very eyes! But first I'll-"

He stops cold upon witnessing him unsheathing his Blade, watching as more darkness poured out of it.

"I have a lot of anger building up in me and I need an outlet, so..." As he spoke, he Darkness took a shape behind him to reveal a devil of a clown. "This is Wicked Jester."

"It's doesn't matter!" With his yell, he charges as he swung down on the young man who brought up his sword fats yet in an instant, he found that his arms were missing.

"Is that really... AlL yOu CaN dO?!" As he asked that, the man's eye widens upon seeing Naruto's was as black as midnight from darkness, his eyes and his wicked smile being seen as he gave a wicked laugh all the while hearing a voice in his head.

"So you used that technique, huh? You do realize we have a time limit and you must sacrifice the souls kept to use this technique activated tho I'm not as strong until we fuse but who cares, I get to kill again!"

As he heard that voice, Orge was already taking a few steps back in fear as he watched the darkness appear from Naruto take the shape of the wicked Jester, holding a long black katana.

"NoW... I'lL mAkE tHiS qUiCk!" With that said, Jester points his blade at Orge and charges fast at the man who couldn't dodge fast enough or block, being stabbed through his chest which splatters blood on the ground before the blade of darkness transforms into a hand that rips out his soul while the body hits the ground.

"I'm HuNgRy."

One could think it horrifying as the Jester opens his mouth wide, appearing to unhinge as it felt joy at the loud wailing of the soul before he brutally rips the head of the soul off its neck, placing it in its mouth as the screams got louder which it proceeded to devour it before the body.

"His wicked soul was tasty, thanks for the meal Naruto, but remember..." It turns its attention to Naruto who stood in silence, getting closer so it towered over him gleefully. "your nothing but a monster, just like me. We both are bound to the life of sending the wicked to my world but... Our deal never involved for you not to have fellow assassins, they will help make my life and yours far more interesting so don't push them away." Upon hearing advice from Jester, Naruto eyes narrow while the darkness returns to the blade.

"Mission complete..."


"I commend you for successfully eliminating the target." The words of gratitude of a job well done came from Najenda who sat at her chair in their secret base with Akame and Leone in the same room. "Excellent work."

With a nod of understanding, he spoke

"Yeah, tho I wasn't hurt but I did get some of that mans blood on me." As he said it, it was shown he wasn't wearing his coat but just his shirt while the coat was getting washed.

"Akame, I wanted to—" He was silenced by Akame suddenly lifting his shirt up, causing his eyes to widen.

"Wait, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" The shout was unlike him as was the blush on his face, beat red.

"Leone, boss, restrain him." The single order was all that was needed as she proceeded to pull his pants down.

"WHAT?!" As he shouted that, he could hear Wicked Jester laughing at his unfortunate event from the sword while Akame looks around Naruto unlike Leone who drools over his body she got very touchy with, being quite a musician isn't a six-pack tho that turns to sadness at seeing his scars.

In the end, Akame stops in front of Naruto, staring at him before she smiles happily.

"Thank goodness." That peaceful tone with her expression just made Naruto blush more. "I once had a friend who was too proud to report his wounds. They were poisoned, and he died. I'm glad to see you're unhurt. First missions have a high mortality rate. You've done well."

With that said, she extended a hand which he too did the same, taking it before he suddenly pulls her in a hug, surprising the girl.

"I'm sorry..." Upon hearing that's her eyes widen. "for the way I acted, I had no right to do so... So it's ok if you-..."

He was stopped by the girl putting her head on his shoulder smiling with her eyes closed.

"I guess, I'll take that as a yes... I think?" After he muttered that, he wraps his arms around him.

"Akame was hard on you because she didn't want you to die." She told the blonde while Najenda offered her own words to the situation.

"Cooking is all about communication, and hunting prey is the most basic of assassination. Haven't you realized that everything she did was part of your training and besides..." She trails off while he blinks in surprise.

"Just keep coming back alive, Naruto."

"Right. I hope that we can be good friends." Just after saying that, they suddenly heard Akame laugh.

"So what kind of friendship were you planning on building in just your underwear? Or where you think of something else involving her?" What she was saying had caused him to turn bright red.

"OH CRAP!"

With a sudden shout, he separates from Akame now embarrassed while Leone just laughs.

"No need to be embarrassed, after all, your giving me quite the show with your body. Purrrr." As she said it, Naruto's blush increases before he turns to Najenda pleadingly to end him embarrassment yet that ends when he saw she was staring at his body, more so the scars until snapping out of it when she noticed the three were staring at her, immediately she turns away.

"That's it now so you can return to your quarters." She suddenly said yet Leone just approaches the boss, nudging her in the shoulder as she spoke with a sheepish smile.

"Well, well, well, isn't Najenda quite active today." Her smile increased as did her time becoming more hysterical. "Could it be you want to have a turn and ride Naruto?"

That sudden question caught Najenda off guard as her cheeks start to turn red.

"After all, he's actually quite good and knowing you he may pound you all—" Leone becomes silent the moment she met the eyes of Najenda, immediately the girl runs off until her arm flys out, grabbing her in the back if he head and reeling her in while she was struggling.

"Care to repeat that?" As she asked that, Leone turns back apologetically.

"Whaaaaat? I didn't mean to upset you, after all, I was only helping since you still haven't lost your v-card, Naruto here could—" She was silenced as the glare increases as she was dragged out of the room, leaving the two of them yet Najenda leans back into the room as she spoke.

"One more thing. Next, you'll be trained by Mine. Good luck." Once that was said, they heard Leone speak up again.

"Cmon Boss, we both know Naruto is your type and I won't even mind if you take him out for a spin, pretty sure he could—OH GOD NO!—" With that, only silence and the sound of a body being dragged away, leaving the two completely as Naruto finally signs.

"I rather work with Bulat!"

It was with this, Akame looks down to see those conversations had quite the effect on Naruto lower area before her attention falls on his boxers completely.

"So... Ramen boxers?"

"Damn it..."
