Hello guys. This is my second attempt to ever write a story. English is not my first language. Please let me now about my mistakes. In this story Naruto does not come from Elemental nations. He is a little OOC so bare with me. Anyways enjoy the story and if you like please review about it and let me know what you think.
The empire and its capital city. City that looks beautiful on outside. Big walls, huge layout and people that floats the city street. On the city's horizon lies the Imperial Castle where the Emperor himself lives with his so trusted Prime Minister.
A young browned haired teen walked through the main gates of the Imperial Capital, teen was average height, green eyes and medium length hair. He wears a white high collar jacket. Over the jacket he wears a simple tan vest. To complete his look on his arms lies a pair of combat gloves. Pants he wears was simple military type black pants with black combat boots. On his back a leather sheath with a longsword with golden guard and simple leather handle. His name is Tatsumi.
Tatsumi looked around the busy street with an awe look on his face.
''Wow, I have never imagined the Capital City will be this cool. Look at this, it is way better than my village. I need to join the army and do it fast.''
Tatsumi began to walk around asking where is the Guard Post were located. During that time he was unaware that two cautious and interested eyes were watching him.
On the rooftops away from the eyes of the Citizens of The Empire was a hooded figure watching the innocent teenager boy with interest. The hood that covers his body gives little to no clue about his identity. He looked at the boy and sighed.
''Oh boy there goes another one, they will lure him and fuck him like the others''
He then sensed someone across the street in an alley. Watching the same boy with interest.
''Well that boy is fucked. Five minutes in to the city with already two people watching him.''
He then turned around and jumped on the floor level to continue his journey.
-
Tatsumi reached Guard Post. He then face palmed when he saw the line goes all the way to the street.
''Well that just peachy. Let's wait I suppose.''
An Hour Later.
Tatsumi reached the table with a smile on his face.
''Hello sir I wish to join the Imperial Army''
The average looking guard looked at the boy with uninterested look in his eyes and yawned.
''Well, fill this form.'' He reaches for a form under the desk and hands the form to the eager boy.
''When you finish that form we will look for open positions in the army. The best you will get in the kitchen helping cooks or on some forgotten warehouse to guard some nobles goods.''
Tatsumi upon hearing this slammed his fist on to the table and shouted.
''What the hell are you talking about. I don't have time to waste in kitchen. I need to rank up fast to help my village. I have skill at least Captain level''
The guard glared at the boy and with a flick of his hand two other guards appeared next to Tatsumi holding him on shoulders and pushing him out of the building with a rude and powerful kick.
Tatsumi landed on his ass with a thud noise and glared the guards.
''What the hell are you doing you jerks?'' He shouted.
The guard that handed him the form shouted from his desk.
''Well you stupid country boy. No one just shows in the Barracks and becomes a Captain. I guess you are a really stupid one aren't you.''
The door to the Guard Post slammed shut with an angry Tatsumi left behind.
''That is just perfect, now what am I going to do?'' Tatsumi shouted with an angry expression on his face.
Right when he was going to right himself and get on his feet a sultry voice was heard behind him.
''Look at this. Cute county boy was kicked out of the Barracks. What is he going to do now''
Tatsumi just lifted his head to see pair of breasts hanging just an inch from his face. Blushing he jumped to his feet to meet with a lady with short blonde hair with with two long tufts that frame the sides of her head. Her eyes was golden. Tatsumi's eyes wander just a bit lower to see the woman's voluptuous body. She wears a revealing outfit with a black tube top, detachable sleeves, pants, boots and a scarf around her neck.
''Well you like what you see aren't you kid. Well that is to be expected but I have a question. Why are you trying to join the army?'' The woman asked with a mischievous smile on her lips.
Tatsumi released a breath that he didn't know holding and answered with honesty.
''I need to bring fame and money to my village. We were just barely holding when I left. Taxes are too much and we needed money.''
Upon hearing this woman smiled and hanged her arm around Tatsumi to bring his head close to her enormous chest.
''You are lucky. I have the thing you needed. I can help you.''
Tatsumi manages to free himself from the tight grip and took a deep breath.
''Really? How can you help me?''
The big chested blond smirked.
''Before that you need to take your Big Sis to a dinner''
-
Hooded figure looked behind from a wall to the events that was happening before him. The blonde woman was taking the kid to an inn.
''Probably to scam him I suppose. That kid really draw the shortest stick.''
From his position he look up towards the rooftop calculating the path to reach the top level.
''Jump through the ledge of that wall then double jump from the narrow two walls that connects the street. Well I guess I will follow the boy. I have nothing else to do and with his luck he maybe can lead me to something interesting.''
With that hooded figure followed his path to the roof top in order follow the blonde and the browned haired kid.
-
Tatsumi could not believe what just happened. He was talking to the woman that offered him some easy way to joining the army. She said that she knew some people to pull some strings to get him join.
Tatsumi believed in her, gave her the money he gotten from killing a low class Danger Beast. The woman then left the building saying that she should back in an hour or so. That was five hours ago. The inn that they were eating closing and the bartender approached him.
''Sorry to break into you champ. But you just got scammed.''
Tatsumi felt like he was hit with a huge Warhammer across the face.
Hethen left the inn depressed with no money, wandering around the streets. Sunlight was starting to get low and night was coming.
He sat on the ground near a bridge and sighed.
''I just sleep on the streets then. At least the weather is nice.''
-
Hooded figure watched from the other side of the bridge. The boy he was watching met with a rich girl. They spoke a little before the boy agreed to come with her.
''If I am correct that is the girl named Aria. There are some suspicious rumors going around the slums about that family, best go and check it out.''
-
Tatsumi was currently sitting in a large and rich living room drinking his tea. Aria welcomed him to her house and introduced to her parents. They seemed to be nice folk offering him a place to stay for the night and talking to him with polite tone.
The old man across the room with brown suit and kind look on his face spoke.
''Well young man you certainly have guts and skill to join the Army but they will send you to West and North borders in order to fight their battles. There are monsters that we humans cannot comprehend out there. Can you handle that?''
Tatsumi turned to old man with determined look.
''Certainly. I am willing to do everything in my power to help my village in need''
Old man chuckled.
''Well than let me use my connections tomorrow. We can get you into army with a decent amount of promotion.''
Tatsumi beamed to his words and bowed.
''Thank you very much sir!''
-
Morning came and currently Tatsumi was travelling with Aria and her guards. Aria was on a shopping spree. Buying everything she saw. Guards and Tatsumi groaned.
The guard next to him poked him with his elbow gathering his attention.
''Hey kid look up there'' Pointing with his fingers towards the Imperial Palace.
Tatsumi followed his finger and saw the magnificent palace with all of her glory.
''The Emperor rules from there right?'' he asked the guard only the said guard frowned.
''That was the common truth. But the real thing is far from that. Emperor is a child a young one at that. Prime Minister rules from his back, the corruption and unhappiness you see from the citizens. All because of him.''
That got Tatsumi angry and clenched his fists. Just he was going to say something against the Prime Minister guard stopped him.
''Shut it kid. Do not talk them in loud voice, I am only telling you because you need to watch your back.''
Then the guard turned around and showed him something on the wall. A couple of posters says 'Night Raid'.
''And there is some people like that Night Raid folk. They assassinate noble folk and any other with connections to the Empire. Better watch your back when we get to the mansion.''
Tatsumi took a long look to the posters. Memorizing it.
''Got it.''
-
Hooded figure followed the boy and the rich girl all the way to their mansion. There was a feeling in his guts that something big going to happen.
''I was right wasn't I. Of course my gut will always be right. Why did I followed that kid again?''
-
Night fell and Tatsumi was currently in his borrowed bed in Aria's mansions thinking about what he was going to do next. Until he felt something really disturbing. Bloodlust.
He rushed out of his bed sword in hand to the hallway. Looking out of the window he get to see a sight he will never forget.
Upon the some wire thing. There was five figures standing. He could not get a better look on them but there from their figures at least three of them was female. One was armored and the other figure was holding the wires together.
''Shit Aria!'' Tatsumi shouted before running to the lower levels in order to get to Aria.
-
Hooded figure watched from afar. The newcomers make short time on the mansion guards. Then he spotted a black haired girl with a dark sleeveless shirt with white collar. ''Was that a tie she is wearing'' he thought. Yes she was wearing a red tie. Red armguards black gloves. A shirt that connects with her shirt also black with red to the sides. Was rushing through the forest with a red sheathed katana.
Rushing through the forest to follow the girl he saw her handling the guards like they were pests.
-
Tatsumi was currently standing in front of Aria facing some black haired red eyed girl. If he remembered correct her name was Akame Night Raid assassin.
''You are not a target move aside.'' Akame spoke with a monotone emotionless voice.
''Like hell I will. I cannot let you kill her'' Tatsumi shouted but inside he was nervous. He was not certain that he can face the infamous assassin.
''As you wish. Eliminate'' Akame spoke and within a blink of an eye she was in front of Tatsumi thrusting her katana with elegance.
Tatsumi managed to deflect the strike just in time but before he took a step backwards he was stabbed in the chest but no blood came through.
Akame's eyes widen slightly. Expecting his blood to flush out. But to her surprise Tatsumi took some wooden totem out of his vest and chuckled.
''Well chief you were right. This little thing indeed saved my life''
Akame get into her fighting stance once more to end Tatsumi's life. Before she can burst to her target. A hand on her shoulders stopped her.
''Leone what are you doing?'' Akame asked with her casual monotone tone but there was slight irritation in her voice.
Now the identified Leone turned her gaze to Tatsumi and smiled.
''Wait Akame, lets show this guy what are these so called nobles are up to. We have time and I owe this guy.''
With that Akame lowered her weapon and marched towards confused Tatsumi and walk passed him in order to open the shed.
-
Hooded figure was watching these events from on top of a tree with angered look on his face. His thoughts were interrupted when Aria began to laugh manically and spit nonsense to his ears.
''Torturers huh? I hate them, I hate empire, I hate that fucked up prime minister and his puppet of a stupid kid that supposed to rule this shithole.'' He hissed under his breath nearly snarling.
He then saw the boy now he learned that his name was Tatsumi stopped Night Raid assassin to kill that wretched girl his brain stopped and he acted on instinct. Drawing his Teigu from her sheath and crouched. Yellow lighting dancing around her whole body shredding his hood showing the world his sun kissed yellow hair. He took a deep breath and flashed.
-
Tatsumi could not believe what was happening anymore. The girl that opened her house to him was a maniac. Tortured his childhood friends killing one and leaving other in a close death experience. He expected her to ask for mercy, beg for her life. Not for her spit some nonsense about her hair or how the county folk should be happy to be killed by her. He snapped stopping Akame from killing the girl.
''You cannot be serious, after all of this you are still going to help her?'' Leone asked with a threatening tone.
''No. I will kill her myself'' that was the answer Tatsumi gave her before he unsheathed his sword.
But before he could take a step further a yellow lighting blinded everyone in the area.
Getting their eyes to open two Night Raid assassins and Tatsumi become witness to a sight they will never forget.
In front of them was a man with yellow hair. Completely in black clad. Black mesh long t-shirt. Black hooded jacket on top of that. He was wearing black military type combat pants with bandages wrapping his knees. Black boots with darkened yellow stripes. On his hips there was a gray sheath for an average katana. But that was not the shocking thing. He was currently holding his katana with Aria's head stuck on top of it. The blade was a beautiful katana, black handle, black guard, edged side of the blade was yellow other side was gray. His back was turned to the Night Raid and Tatsumi. His head slowly turned and made eye contact with the assassins. On his right eye was an eyepatch a scar coming from top of his eye to his chin, shined through the moonlight.
Leone gasped and spoke with a surprise tone.
''The Yellow Flash''
