Chapter 2 Joining Night Raid P1
The Night Raid had charged in first while Naruto stands his ground and waited for his opponents to get close. He had face groups of assassins before, but most of those were part of his training and some were low-class grunts, but this was different as these assassins were trained and have interesting Teigu. So, the knight will have to be careful, but something happens.
Six figures appeared out of nowhere and took Night Raid down by a surprise attack, getting Naruto taken back at this and know who they are. All six were young mature women and happen to know the knight very well as they are protecting him from the assassins. They were his Servants he summoned to this world from the Throne and in the order, they are Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, and Assassin.
Saber had swung her left leg into Akame's, getting the red-eyed sword wielder off her feet and into the ground. She was shocked and tried to get back up to her feet but was stopped by two kanatas formed into X and were on her throat. The Assassin of Night Raid never saw such speed before and couldn't move.
Archer had used her spear bottom tip to swing hard into the lioness's stomach, knocking the wind out of her and coughed up for air as she landed on her knees. Leone was about to get up and show this samurai whose boss but was slammed back into the ground by the spear and saw that white-haired woman was not letting her. So, she placed her spear at blonde's back neck and made sure she didn't even try.
Lance easy took Bulat by surprise with a few powerful and quick swings of her spear, disarming him and having two red spears posted for a deadly strike. One at the head and other to the heart, stopping the knight in his tracks and couldn't risk a move yet.
The Rider Servant had tried up Lubbock in chains and held dragger at his neck, making sure he didn't do anything funny or flex his wires out.
Mine was about to open fire with her sniper at the unknown attackers but stopped dead in her tracks as she felt cold steel touching her throat and caused her heart to beat out of control. The Assassin had appeared behind the snipper and placed her short kanata on the neck, holding the sniper back from attacking or making a move.
Caster was at Naruto's, having her right hand outwards and ready to fire any magecraft attacks for anyone enemies that may be hiding which she found three and was about to open fire. This caused Tatsumi, Sayo, and Ieyasu to turn paled with their eyes widen, but stopped and sighed in relief when the knight stopped the hooded woman from attacking them. Soon the friends started to talk over a few things.
"Girls, what is the meaning of this?" Naruto questioned, wondering why his girls attack all the sudden.
The Servants blinked a few times of the knight's question and wonder why he will ask that since they save him.
"We are protecting you from these assassins and their Teigus," Caster answered.
Naruto smiled a little that his lovers would project, need to explain a few things and said, "Girls, I'm very grateful, but this group happens to be the one I have been searching for. They are Night Raid."
This caused to Servants to let go of the assassins and felt ashamed. Can anyone blame them for what they did, but they were just protecting the shared man they love and is reasonable.
Saber let Akame go to her feet and said, "Sorry about that my fellow kanata wielder. I guess we saw things differently, but no harm was done, right?"
"I guess," Akame said as she got up on her feet and put her kanata away in its sheath, having a feeling that the spar won't happen.
Rider and Assassin let go of their hostage, having Mine and Lubbock sigh in relief that they can move.
Lancer placed her spears away from Bulat and allowed him to get his own spear back into his hands.
"Truly sorry about that, Miss lioness. We were just protecting our master, Naruto-kun," Archer said as she helped Leone up on her feet.
"That's fine. Just got off guard by that inhuman speed," Leone said as she rubbed the back of her head.
Naruto shook his head and said, "Sorry about that. These girls happen to be with me and can be little protected of me."
"Because it's for good reason. You do get into trouble, Naruto-kun," Caster said with a teasing smirk.
"Maybe, but I do have you, girls, to help me out, Caster-chan," Naruto said with a smirk.
Caster smiled at her shared lover's kindness and how much he can be happy to others than himself.
Once Night Raid had dust and gathered themselves up from the surprise attack, Naruto explained to them of why his Servants jump. It was reasonable as most people don't have all their faces on Wanted Posters yet and some don't even live to tell the tale of who they are. So very reasonable and the spar will have to be put on hold for now. Also, good news to the assassins, that the knight and his Servants will be more than happy to join with them in their group. Good news, but all sudden everyone started to hear something and could tell that a group was coming here.
"Troopers are coming to see the commotion that happened here," Naruto said with a frown underneath his faceguard and eyes narrowed little, being little upset that the dual will have to be on hold.
"We have to leave," Akame ordered as the members of Night Raid and new future members were about to leave, but stopped when…
"Hey! What about us?" Ieyasu called out as himself and his friends got off the brushes towards the group.
"We don't have time for questions. Just grab them and go," Leone said, having Bulat grabbing Tatsumi and Ieyasu to put them over his shoulders while Saber took Sayo into her arms.
Soon enough Night Raid, Naruto and his Servants with newcomers escaped the anyone watchful eyes by leaping into the air and vanishing into the darkness before the troopers came.
Time Skip
Two to three days have passed everything was alright for the most as Naruto and his Servants have made their mind up on joining up with Night Raid, but two things first. One that the leader of Night Raid must agree to new members joining and something tells everyone that she will agree. Two, Tatsumi, Sayo, and Ieyasu are still thinking about the offer of joining Night Raid.
So yeah there's that and moving on.
Naruto and his girls were outside, enjoying the good view of the sky. He was in his normal clothes and most girls are too. Saber, Archer, Lancer, and Assassin stay in their battle clothes with no weapons. Rider and Caster wore some civilian clothes.
"So, what do you girls think of Nigh Raid?" Naruto asked.
"Hmm alright for the most part. Some of them have great skills and Akame has the eyes of a Greatsword wielder like me," Saber happily replied with a careful smile, hoping to test the skills first hand.
"They have the makings of assassins and new members should join as they have the same markings," Assassin answered.
"Need some training in for Tatsumi and his friends, but I think things will work out just fine," Lancer said, having some training ideas for the young group of friends.
"Indeed. I hope we can spar a bit to make up for our attack a few nights ago," Archer said, hoping to have a good spar, but she or the other girls don't regret their actions as they were protecting their shared lover.
"It seems fair, but I don't think we will have some kinds of sparing once we join them," Rider said, making a good point.
"Indeed," Naruto and Caster agreed with the others as well, understanding it very well.
It will be bad to fight your fellow members of a team. So yeah there's was that.
"There you are," A familiar voice spoke, getting the group's attention and saw Leone with no lion ears, claws, and tail.
"I was wondering where you guys were at. I was about to go get the other three to see if they wanted to join us. Want to come with," Leone asked with a grin.
Naruto and his girls shared a look, seeing no harm and could help a lot in knowing their location and teammates.
"Sure thing," Naruto said, getting up on his feet and his Servants follow behind hide.
"We never really introduced ourselves, did we?" Leone asked.
"Nope," Naruto said before sticking his right hand out and said with a smile, "Naruto Sieghart, the Dragon Knight."
Leone grinned as shakes the knight's hand and said, "Leone, the Wild Women."
"A pleasure," Naruto said as he brought Leone's hand up and kissed it as a knight would to a princess, making the blonde blush and smiled at his forwardness.
The Servants raised an eyebrow with a smirk on their faces at this, knowing their shared lover very well and his luck to bump into women in his life. So, no harm as he has a big heart for that one girl in his life and sees no harm in that. But if another woman wants to join in the knight's harem, then a big talk needs to be sure of their true feelings first. Now moving on.
"Oh, this is Saber-chan, Archer-chan, Lancer-chan, Rider-chan, Caster-chan, and Assassin-chan," Naruto said, introducing his Servants to the blonde.
"Greetings/Hello/Hey Leone," The Servants greeted in their own.
"Odd names?" Leone commented, not hearing those names before.
Quickly covering it and making the good point, Naruto then said, "They have true names, but not right now. They will share it once everyone is with us. That way we can avoid telling twice."
It makes sense and a good point was made.
"Alright. Well let's go grab Tatsumi, Sayo, and Ieyasu," Leone said with a shrug of her shoulders and leave it alone for now as they go and find the three.
Small Time Skip
A trip around the base was alright, to say the least. The base was inside of a mountain and was almost like a mansion inside. The group was first introduced to Sheele, who was an airhead and gave the three possible members to think about joining, but if they don't and they will die. Some convincing and the three people to sweat dropped at that.
Soon enough a certain pinky came by, Mine was very upset of newcomers and say that they fail with the makings of an assassin. It took Naruto and Rider to hold back the black-haired assassin from getting the pinky which the knight changed around with some teasing and caused the sniper to blush in that which she yelled at him. That caused some more laughs, teasing and yelling to pass along. Good so far, but let's move on to the training field.
Leone had the group met Bulat and told them he was gay, making Tatsumi and Ieyasu paled, and Sayo gaped at the black-haired man shy blush face. However, the Servants had their weapons pointed at him and stood in front of Naruto, not wanting some gay getting a foot close to him. Oh yeah, there was that.
The trip was stopped by a certain green-haired pervert, who got some fingers broken and Lubbock got off lucky. If he tried to spy on Naruto's girls, well he will lose his balls and might need a good doctor.
Night time come as the sun was setting and now just one more member to meet.
"Now we get to meet our next member," Leone said as she leads the group towards a stream and small canyon.
"I think I've seen enough," Tatsumi with a sigh, not wanting to meet another member.
"I agree. Meeting all these different people in Night Raid is exhausting," Ieyasu said, grumbling.
"Each personality is way different from a group of assassins," Sayo agreed.
"Yeah, but you forget something. Assassins are people too and like any other person they have emotions are quirks like everyone else," Naruto said, getting the three to look at him.
"Naruto-kun's right. Everyone is different from each other and makes things interesting with your emotional quirks at work," Assassin agreed/added.
Saber smiled happily and said, "They seem to be fine by me. And I wonder who the next member is?"
"And here she is. Up next is a pretty lady," Leone answered with a grin as the group comes around the corner to see a small campfire with an evil bird being cooked.
Akame was sitting in front of the evil bird in a chair, eating a piece of meat. She was without her coat, belt with a side skirt, gauntlets and gloves, and her katana.
"Over there is Akame. Isn't she cute?" Leone asked.
"How…," Tatsumi muttered, not believing what the girl that tried to kill him was eating.
"Is she eating an evil-bird?" Ieyasu asked.
"She killed it alone?" Sayo said, breathing in amazing.
Naruto and his girls were okay with as they hunt some Danger Beast down for food or warmth. So, seeing an evil-bird was nothing new to them.
"They're easy to kill if you have the skill to do it," Naruto said, pointing it out.
"Yep. And, they taste like chicken," Assassin added.
"We had a few of those during our travels," Rider said.
"They're alright for the most part and some of them taste like chicken these days," Lancer said.
"Those chickens are great for me," Saber said with a grin, having Archer nodded her head in agreement while Caster just shrugged her shoulders in the okay matter.
"Despite how Akame looks, she grew up in the wild," Leone informed.
"There's that. Interesting," Lancer said, seeing the signs of a skillful huntress on the black-haired kanata wielder.
Naruto, Saber, Archer, and Assassin could also see it as well. Rider and Caster could also see that, but some signs of something bad that might happen to Akame. In fact, the knight and his servants could see it and wonder. They can worry about that later as they won't push the subject forward but moving on.
"You should also eat, Leone," Akame said, passing her friend a piece of meat who caught.
"Oh! Thanks!" Leone called out with a grin before digging in.
Akame then turned to look at Naruto and his group, eyeing them for any sign of weakness which she found none and ask a question.
"Are all of you set on joining us?" Akame asked, making sure is what the knight and his allies want.
They just smiled a little and answered back in their own way, "Sure am/Yep/Indeed/Ready/Yes!"
Akame smiled a little before handing the group some meat and said, "Then here you go."
"Thanks," The group replied before eating in their own way down into the chicken.
Naruto, Saber, Lancer, Archer, and Assassin wolf their pieces of meat down like hungry warriors while Caster and Rider finished at a good normal way. Leone blinked a couple of times before grinning and went back to her food, seeing this before from her best friend and was liking this group even more. Akame was shocked but was fine with and had a feeling that they will get along great with her.
"Wow! A woman that has great skills, an assassin fighting against the corrupted people, and a great cook? I think I might be in love," Naruto commented with a smile and wink at the cook, causing Akame to blush before chowing and calming down.
"Easy their dragon-kun," Lancer said with a smirk.
"He does have a great point. Akame is a great cook and this is good," Saber said, fishing her food as Archer and Assassin did the same.
"Maybe. I think Naruto-kun and Akame might be good cooks," Rider commented.
"Who knows?" Caster questioned with a smirk as she finished with her meat, having the feeling that a good class meal will be cook by her shared lover.
Tatsumi, Ieyasu, and Sayo who shock that Naruto had such a wise word with women. He made a few women blush and happen to have a group of them traveling with him. What is he, a lady killer or something? It makes some wonder how skilled he is with women but moving as some more meat was coming.
"What about you three," Akame asked, turning to Tatsumi, Ieyasu, and Sayo with some meat.
"Still thinking," Ieyasu said, still need to think a few things over.
"I haven't decided," Tatsumi said.
"Me neither," Sayo said.
"Then I can't give you guys some of this meat," Akame said before turning back to the bird and get another piece for herself to wolf down.
"That's all right," Sayo said with a wave her hands.
"Not sure if I want to eat meat from the person who tried to kill me," Tatsumi thought with a sweat drop.
Soon enough after eating and finishing up, Leone spoke, "Anyway it seems like you went all out tonight."
"The boss has come back," Akame answered.
"Boss?" Ieyasu, Tatsumi, and Sayo muttered.
"Make sense. A group like Night Raid needs someone to lead them," Naruto said, having his girls agreeing and knows that this group would have a leader.
"Oh! Boss!" Leone shouted with a smile, seeing someone on the other side of the cooked evil-bird.
"Yo," The woman said, raising her left hand and greeted back.
"This our boss. The leader of Night Raid, Najenda," Leone introduced.
"Welcome back! Did you bring any presents?" The blonde asked, waving and making her way to the leader.
"Before that, Leone…" Najenda said, getting her attention before she raises up her right mechanical hand and spoke, "Three days ago, it seems you exceeded the time limit on the job."
"Crap!" Leone thought, sweating and ran away, but that didn't work.
Everyone, but Akame was shocked when Najenda's mechanical arm above her elbow shot out like a harpoon grappling hook and grabbed on the back of Leone's scarf to drag her back on the ground. Naruto and his girls were taken back by this, but alright with it as it something new and cool to see. Most don't see that these days.
"It isn't good to enjoy fighting your enemies too much. You should fix that habit," Najenda said with a grin.
"I get it, so please do something about the creaking!" Leone whined.
"Anyway, who're these young people?" Najenda asked as her arm reconnect and looked at the young group before her.
The leader looked at Tatsumi, Sayo, and Ieyasu, seeing some promise. The six girls showed great promise and should be no walk in the park. Last one, Naruto, well she got a little flustered on how handsome he looks but moving on.
"Oh well I brought Tatsumi, Ieyasu, and Sayo to join Night Raid after seeing the truth of the Capital," Leone replied, gesturing the said people to her boss before she walked to Naruto and wrapped her arm around his shoulders.
Naruto didn't blush or fight back as this was normal to him, being okay and just relax. The girls raised an eyebrow and had a feeling that this lioness was looking for something from their shared dragon, but first thing first and back to the story.
"But get this boss. This guy, Naruto Sieghart, is the Dragon Knight we heard so much about and he has decided to join us with his group on broad. They even stopped a sparing by getting me, Akame, Mine, Lubbock and Bulat off guard due to protecting their friend, no worries. All of them are on board with joining with Night Raid," Leone said with a grin.
Najenda was taken back at this. First was that this group had stopped a spar by catching them off guard. The second was this young man, Naruto, happens to be the Dragon Knight she heard so much about and now he wants to join with his group in broad. She frowned a little and thought about the newcomers joining. She will need to have a report and ask for the final answer.
By getting up and put a black trench coat with Night Raid's symbol on the beck in red, Najenda said, "Akame gather the others. I want your report, along with more details on these young people….and especially them."
Naruto stood quiet as himself and girls follow behind to speak in their talk through mental talk.
"Think she's suspicious of us?" Naruto asked, having the feeling that this leader was a sharp tool where she comes from.
"Any leader would be if we are able to stop her top best soldiers," Lancer said.
"Just be honest with them Naruto-kun, and I'm sure you'll gain their trust," Rider said.
"We are here for you if things don't work out Naruto-kun," Caster added as she and the other girls know all about their shared lover.
Saber, Archer, and Assassin shared a smile towards Naruto, getting him to smile a little and calm down a bit.
"Got it," Naruto said with a nod.
Before joining in Night Raid, Naruto must face a challenge if he will gain their trust…and that is to talk about his past too where he is now. Anything can happen and this knight faces some part of his past one day, but at as much soon and will happen soon enough.
