Hello there, I am back with a new chapter of Ninjas and Assassins.
"Insert" = Speech
'Witty' = Thoughts
Joke = Non-human
Here = Human (the narrator counts as a human, right?)
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, he belongs to Hina- I mean Kishimoto, and Takahiro owns Akame ga kiru (though there isn't much characters left)
"Who are you?" asked a rather feminine voice from behind Naruto
"I am a simple traveler" Naruto answered cautiously. Pushing the blade until it was almost pushing against Naruto's neck.
"Now, tell the truth" She said, sounding rather irritated.
"Like I said" Naruto said before vanishing, "I am a simple traveler" Reappearing away from the girl. Naruto looked at where he was before and saw five figures. The girl who was previously behind him had a brief flash of surprise before looking at him. She had crimson eyes and night black hair. A blond woman was near by. The blond had rather provoking choice of wardrobe and looked rather animalistic. Closest to Naruto was a rather tired looking girl holding an excessively large pair of scissors, next to the blond was a tall intimidating person in a thick armor, and behind the raven haired girl was a boy with green hair and glints of wire surrounding him. A flash of light and Naruto moved away to see an explosion where he just were.
"I have no idea where I am or what I did so can you stop attacking me?" Naruto asked calmly
The blondie then said the unexpected, "Looks like we found a new recruit"
~"So mind explaining?" a rather confused Naruto asked his fellow blond.
"Oh sorry, hello we are Night Raid-" The blond was explaining
Scrambling in his mind, Naruto remembered the information from the shadow clone. "Aren't you the group that is killing of the corrupt government?" asked Naruto.
"Yeah that's us" The blond woman answered. "And since you have seen us, I have a proposition. Either you join us, or we kill you." She told in an overly happy tone.
"How about neither" Naruto said fingering a kunai from his pouch. The five started to tense but then "Nah I am just joking, I am bored so sure I'll join you". And he started to relax.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" the boy asked the woman.
"I can tell he is strong, he will be a good addition to night raid." she whispered back.
"I can hear you, you know" Naruto said in a deadpan tone, "and if you are worried about me backstabbing you, think why I would do that when I hold the same disdain for The Capital as you? And If I wanted you dead" Naruto explained. "You wouldn't be here talking" Appearing behind the male teenager with a kunai against his neck
"Alright it's settled, we are recruiting him." The woman said. Naruto put away the kunai and the others just sweat dropped because they didn't have a say.
"Nice place you've got here." Naruto said marveling the rather large base of operations for the assassins.
"Yeah it is blondie so I am Leone." the newly identified Leone said extending her hand
"Naruto, nice to meet you" Naruto said grasping the extended hand shaking it.
"Might as well introduce you to everyone." Leone said grabbing Naruto's arm and started bringing (read:dragging) Naruto to one of the other members. After a while (which Naruto swore was just walking around in circles) the blond duo found the black haired girl from the previous night in presumably the kitchen.
"Akame" Leone gestured towards the crimson eyed female "Naruto" gesturing our blond protagonist. Akame looked at him for a moment and then when she was about to say something, her unsatisfied stomach decided to make itself known and bellowed.
"You hungry?" Naruto asked. Akame sheepishly nodded her head. "Okay" and then Naruto walked into the kitchen and started cooking.
"Uh okay?" asked the somewhat confused Leone. A few minutes later he walked out with a cooked bird on a plate and it smelled delicious. Putting the plate in front of Akame she started to devour the poor morsel.
"How? What? Where?" the now very confused Leone questioned.
"Just roll with it" the amused Naruto replied
Having finished within mere moments Akame started to stare at Naruto.
"More" the girl demanded.
"I'm sorry. I still need to meet the rest." Naruto said to the poor dejected thing.
"Yeah" Leone said still confused at the event that just took place.
After navigating through the maze known as the Night Raid's base, the duo reached the outside. Shouts and grunts were heard throughout the base. The two walking towards the source met another member of the already…eccentric group.
"He is Bulat" The female blond said. The man, noticing their presence stopped training and started to walk towards the blonds.
"Ah you're that guy from yesterday." The shirtless Bulat said.
"From the fact you know me and the I didn't see you, I assume you were the one in the armor or the one who caused the explosion." Naruto deduced.
"Yeah thats me nice to meet you" Bulat greeted, extending his hand towards Naruto.
"Likewise, I am Naruto." Naruto said shaking the burly man's hand.
"He's gay." Leone whispered.
"Hey don't say that. He'll get the wrong idea" The man said. And with that continued his training. Wandering about the blond duo met the green haired boy setting traps.
"He is Lubbock" The woman pointed at him.
"Hello there" Naruto greeted.
"Hello to you too" The teenager greeted.
"He is also a pervert" The woman said.
"Noo my reputation" The teen complained. "Now I don't look good for the new guy" and with a downcast expression started to continue to set traps.
Returning to the base, the two found the purple haired girl from the previous day. She was reading a book called One Hundred Ways to Cure Being an Airhead.
"Hello" Naruto said. The girl didn't respond. "Hello?" Naruto repeated. Still no response "Hello?" Naruto repeated slightly agitated.
"Wha- what?" The girl suprised, said.
"Hello what's your name" Naruto said.
"I'm Sheele" Sheele said returning to reading her book. Suddenly a rather short pink haired girl came barging in.
"Leone, why did you invite him to join" The midg- I mean pink haired girl said.
"Hello, I'm Naruto" Naruto greeted. The girl started to stare at him and then turned around.
"You fail" The girl said suddenly.
"Don't worry, Mine treats everyone like that." Leone explained.
"I have seen people like her." Naruto said, "they usually die first" Naruto said rather depressingly.
"Well anyways there's one more person you need to meet" Leone said dragging him to a rather big room. The rest of the group was there and one other person in the middle. She had a mechanical arm and an eye patch.
"So what's this I hear about a new recruit" The one eyed woman said.
"So remember yesterday when Lubbock's wires detected someone Najenda?" Leone started to say.
"Yes" the newly identified Najenda said.
"This is him, he is very strong and shares similar view on The Capital" Leone said.
"So, Naruto, that's your name right?" Najenda questioned.
"Yes, I feel like I can be a valuable asset to your cause of toppling the corrupt government" Naruto said grinning.
"Alright, you can prove your worth on the mission we are going to do in a week." Najenda said. "Are you going to give me any information about the mission?" Naruto asked.
"It's the assassination of a family who lure travelers and torture them" Najenda explained.
"Count me in" Naruto grinned.
"Good and welcome to the life of carnage" Najenda said.
Next chapter may not be as long seeing as I am back in school (fall break ;-;)
