Naruto x Akame
We could now find Naruto, sparring with his shadow clones. As they were throwing elements such as wind, fire, water, and earth at him. He was dodging with a blindfold on his face, to not only dodge better, but to be able to sense better to. Naruto was trying to increase his ranged of vision. So when an enemy was behind him he could tell when they were coming from. Sure his Dragon Slayer Magic was good, but it could be improved, to the point where Naruto did not have to worry at all. So now Naruto was in the woods waiting for the enemy to attack him. Hearing a small noise Naruto jump away, from a dozen little kunai knives. Naruto jump from tree to tree. Moving out of the way from traps, or clones that where trying to kill him.
Naruto moved his hand into a circle, which caused a wall of wind to block more kunai knives from hitting him. Naruto added more power into the wind, which caused the kunai knives to get sent right back at the clones, which killed them on impact. Naruto jump down to the ground, to start doing hand signs. Entering them really fast, Naruto was able to bring out his new jutsu. Naruto place his hand on the ground, which caused the ground to shake, making a lot of trees fall to the ground. Naruto was able to jump, in order to stop a clone from hitting him in the face. Naruto replace himself with a leaf, in order to get behind the clone. From there Naruto killed the clone. Seeing fallen trees in his way, Naruto used them for target practice.
Naruto called his flames out, the heat they were giving off were high, so high that any weak person would have past out from the heat. Naruto flames than turn dark fire, this showed the level of control Naruto had on his flames. Naruto gazed at the tress before calling out his move.
"Fire Dragon Death Wave!" With that Naruto let his fist fly, this caused the dark flames to head straight to its target. Burning the tress on impact, Naruto watch as the tress turn dark black, before turning to ash. Naruto than called out his next move. Which would get rid of the smoke.
"Water style: water gun." With that water came out of Naruto mouth, which caused the smoke to stop. Naruto than removed his blindfolded in order to see the area. As Naruto look at the woods he frown. Sure the area was messed up, but Naruto felt he could do better. So with that Naruto went back to training. Naruto jump away from a rock coming his way, Naruto turn around to see Akame, with Sora flying next to her. Naruto started to run up to her, to see what she wanted from him.
"Naruto we have to make lunch for the others." Naruto hearing this got to work. He started to walk to the base, with Akame following behind him. But he had to ask her an important question first. With that Naruto turn to look at her.
"Akame do you believe that the revolution army would make the capital a better place? I mean sure if we kill the prime minister it would make things somewhat better. But what after that than, would someone new come along to destroy the peace?" With that Naruto stop talking, he wanted to hear out Akame to see her view point, since this was an important topic. The fact was what would happen, after this was all over. Akame gave Naruto a look but started to talk.
"I don't know Naruto really I don't know, but I can tell you this. Some things are going to need to change in order for this capital to get better." With that Akame continue to walk to the base, leaving Naruto in his thoughts, Naruto ran up to catch up to her. Not knowing what to feel about their conversation.
Sometime later we could find Naruto doing the dishes with Tatsumi. Not having anything other to do, Naruto decide to help Tatsumi out. Naruto gazed at Akame, she was feeding Mine who refused to let her help her eat. Naruto smile when he saw Mine give in. Turning to Tatsumi to see him thinking really hard. Naruto wonder what was going on with him.
"Tatsumi what's going on with you?" Tatsumi turn to Naruto, giving him a sad look. Naruto gazed at Tatsumi waiting for an answer. He soon got his answer when Tatsumi began to speak up.
"Naruto, I just realized being an assassin is harder than it seems." Tatsumi had a small frown on his face as he look at Naruto. Naruto just gave a frown back, as if he was agreeing to what he was saying.
"Yeah I know what you mean, I find being a ninja hard at times to, but at the end of the day we still got something to come back to." With that Naruto turn around to look at Akame and Mine, he then gazed back at Tatsumi. "We still got our friends at the end of the day." With that Naruto gave out a big grin, Tatsumi doing the same, before going back to the dishes.
At the imperial palace, conference room
"General Esdeath." The child emperor spoke from his royal throne.
"Yes your majesty." Esdeath replied kneeling down to show her respect.
"Your conquest of the Northern Lands was superb! We are prepared to reward you with 10000 pieces of gold for your efforts." The child emperor continue.
"I am grateful your majesty. We did not leave any person in the North land alive." Esdeath spoke up with a voice of pride for her achievement.
"Splendid. Now I must apologize, I realized you have just return but there is work to be done. An atrocious group known as Night Raid has begun running rampant around the capital. I wish for you to focus on purging the group from my city." The emperor continue in his child voice, calm, series and understanding to his position. The prime minister continue eating while looking at Esdeath.
Esdeath hearing what the emperor wanted agreed to it. Seeing nothing wrong with the problem at all. Standing up to the emperor to tell him she complete agree with the mission. The emperor hearing this gave a smile, but he wanted to help out Esdeath. For all she did for the capital she deserved it.
'Thank you general Esdeath for all your troubles. But if I may ask I would like to help you, I feel gold is not enough so I would like to ask you is there anything you would want?" The emperor gazed down to look at Esdeath waiting for his answer. Esdeath gave a small blush at this but answer.
…" Well I would like to try falling in love." Esdeath was fast to answer her question. The emperor and Prime minister gave a confused look, I mean since when was general Esdeath interested in love? The emperor try to get Esdeath with the prime minister. But was shot down fast, Esdeath told them she was not interest. But she did tell them that she was going to give them a paper. Telling them what she would be looking for. With that Esdeath left in order to grab some men to deal with night raid.
Days later
We could find some changes with Night Raid. They were more active than before. With Tatsumi training with Bulat on his muscle training. He often went with Bulat to fake-mountain in order to improve. You could now see them as a duo with Tatsumi calling him brother.
Naruto on the other hand spent most of his time fighting and training with Akame and in some cases with Leone. He had developed a growing relationship with Akame getting stronger as the days went by. He would not fail her, he would keep his promise to her no matter what!
To him Akame was a reason to fight.
It scared Naruto, it really did. But as the days went by he started not to care. Naruto found himself a bit uncomfortable with rushing into a relationship but was willing to give it a try. It was funny really, Naruto found his crush on Sakura was long gone. Akame was slowly replacing her. They just seem to click when they came together. The question Naruto wonder did Akame feel the same way. It was hard to tell what the girl was thinking, her blank look confused him sometimes. But Naruto would find out one day. He would make sure of that.
Naruto relationship with the Kyuubi was improving bit by bit. The fox seem to talk to Naruto from time to time. But so far that was it, Naruto would change that for sure. Ddraig was doing good, he help Naruto in training and new moves they could use. So far they were making work but they could improve. Sora was doing his own thing, most of the time he was with Naruto. But sometimes with Akame. Naruto knew the cat loved meat, so he was most likely with Akame getting some meat to eat. Naruto wonder if that habit would ever change. But he had more important things to think about.
Naruto still could not find Jiraiya. The pervert was somewhere, but Naruto did not know where. So for the most part Naruto work with Night Raid. Naruto found Night Raid his own little family. Sure they were not his friends at home, but they were making their way into Naruto heart. Naruto found himself training harder as day went by. He did not want anyone to die, so it was best to get stronger. Naruto would not fail anyone, he had his dreams and theirs riding on this. Naruto would not fail them that was a promise of a life time.
It was best to be ready than not at all.
Several days later
We find all the Night Raid members gazing at the boss. The Night Raid symbol was right behind her. Najenda look at all her members they were all ready to hear what she had to say.
Najenda spoke immediately serious of what was about to be conveyed, "Everyone is here. I have three pieces of bad news to tell you… listen carefully."
She became even more serious as she spoke. Everyone tense for the news.
"First. I can no longer contact the local team."
The more experience members of night raid looked on in shock.
"Local team?" Tatsumi ask confused while Naruto stood waiting for an answer.
Akame replied addressing Naruto and Tatsumi curiosity "The Empire is vast. We specialize in carrying out assassinations in the capital, but there is another team that handles the areas around it."
"It currently being investigated, but the likelihood they are dead are high. So be prepared for that." Najenda spoke again, low mortal affecting her.
"For the time being, I think it may be important to strengthen security around the hideout. Yes I did increase the ranged of my threads." Lubbock added in.
"Secondly, Esdeath has finished conquering the North and has return to the capital". Najenda spoke with remorse, concern and a small hint of fright.
"That was much faster than it was thought to be". Akame spoke up slightly astounded from her progress.
"God, she is always causing so much trouble." Lubbock spoke up with a hand on his head. Clearly having encounter her before.
Naruto was interested in meeting this Esdeath. He heard she was scary and powerful, but he had yet to really meet her.
"Then it's is safe to say that she was not brought back to deal with the revolutionary army, right?" Bulat sounded concern over this. It seemed he was too scared of Esdeath.
"I can't figure out what her next move would be. Currently, she is at work at the government torture facilities. Leone you're tasked to observe her movements. Do not engage!" Najenda spoke taking out a cigarette from her box in order to calm her nerves. Thinks were getting dangerous.
"Roger! She spoke confidant.
"I always wanted to know what type of person she was after all."
"She's a maniac who enjoys slaughter. Be on guard." Najenda spoke up serious. She did not like her attitude right now.
"Alright, alright".
"And finally, there has been a string of murders in the capital. The targets were civil officials and 61 bodyguards." She continue changing the subject while lifting a fake Night Raid poster with her mechanical arm.
"The problem is that all Night Raid poster have been found at the crime scenes."
Bulat spoke up folding his arms in thought "They're framing us for the crime scenes? It easy to see they are fake, right?"
"But that is obvious isn't it? I mean for us to start claiming responsibility seems a bit far-fetched." Tatsumi spoke also giving his inputting his thoughts on the matter.
"That what I thought for the first and second cases, but now it seems it could be us." Najenda continued.
"Why?"
"The reason being that the body count is continuing. In the last incident the former Prime Minister Chouri and around 30 skilled guards were killed with his daughter a disciple of the master of the imperial temples master." Najenda took a whiff of her cigarette before continuing.
"No one but us could do something like this, it is the popular opinion".
Akame spoke up concluding something very important "The criminals are just as powerful as us, in other words Teigu users."
"Yes Akame is right they are teigu users. So I want you all to deal with them." Najenda continued.
"Akame and Lubbock."
"Tatsumi and Bulat."
"And Naruto."
"You each will protect people that could be targeted. Be on guard for most of the time. We cannot lose any more people." Najenda voice got louder as she spoke. Everyone understanding her got ready.
"Naruto grab Sora and with that they went on their mission. But before they could make it out a voice stop them.
"Naruto." Naruto turn around to look at Akame she was giving him a look. Naruto was ready to hear what she had to say, "Naruto… be careful out there, I don't want you to get hurt." They both look at each other in the eyes before turning around.
"I will Akame I will see you later." With that Naruto and Sora left the hideout. Not knowing what would happen on their mission, or their comrades.
Time skip
Naruto with Akame and Lubbock came back from their mission. They did not get to face anyone, which meant that Tatsumi and Bulat most likely had to face the enemy. This cause Naruto to worry more for them. The last time Sheele die what would happen next? Naruto fears became true, when he saw Tatsumi walking into the hideout. Carrying the body of Bulat. No one said anything, already knowing the answer to what happen. That night everyone mourned for the loss of another comrade.
The next day we could find Naruto looking at Tatsumi with a serious look on his face. Naruto could sense something coming from inside Tatsumi. It was same feeling as a sacred gear, meaning that Tatsumi most likely had a sacred gear to. Naruto never trained to locate a sacred gear user, but now he could say he had to. The feeling Naruto got from Tatsumi was strong. Ddraig also stated he could sense something from inside Tatsumi. Proving Naruto point, that Tatsumi did in fact have a sacred gear. Grabbing Tatsumi, Naruto led him to the main base in order to prove his point.
"Tatsumi I want you to imagine your strength". Naruto spoke to him, all the remaining Night Raid members gazed at the duo. Wondering what was going on. Tatsumi gave Naruto a look wondering what he was going on about. Naruto seeing his face started to explain to him. "I believe you may have a sacred gear like me." This cause Tatsumi to look shock not expecting that type of answer.
"Naruto are you sure about this? I mean don't you have be from your lands in order to have a sacred gear?" Tatsumi only new so much about sacred gears, so if he had one really gave him a real shock. But maybe this was a good thing, having more strength Tatsumi would be able to help everyone out more. Seeing nothing wrong about this, Tatsumi started thinking about everyone. Pictures of them coming to his mind. As he continued thinking about them a feeling started to rise up. It was getting stronger as time went by, Tatsumi started to feel for the power more, a green glow started to appear on his neck. Once Tatsumi found the source of the power he grab on to it. Not letting it go at all. Right there the energy appear in the shape of a green necklace. Naruto seeing this gave a grin seeing as he was right after all.
"Well it seems you do have a sacred gear Tatsumi. Welcome to the club." With that Naruto place Tatsumi in a headlock. Tatsumi gave a big grin, before garbing the necklace in order to gaze at it more. The other Night Raid members doing the same. Leone gave a curious look, if Naruto Boosted Gear could double his power every ten seconds she wonder what Tatsumi gear could do? They would just have to wait and see for themselves than. A green circle appear on Naruto arm. Telling them Ddraig was about to speak.
{Partner Tatsumi has a Longinus Gear.} This caused everyone to gaze at Naruto hand in shock. Naruto replied right back to his partner Ddraig.
"Are you sure about that Ddraig? I mean what makes you think Tatsumi has a Longinus Gear?" Naruto look at Ddraig waiting for his answer.
{The reason because I know that gear, it's Innovate Clear. Also known as the Miniature Garden of the Green Tree of Innovation.} Ddraig replied back to Naruto and the others.
"Wait so you're saying I have a Longinus Gear like Naruto?" Tatsumi voice out, this got everyone to look at him. The voice of Leone replied right back at Tatsumi.
"Well it seems so. Don't you feel important now Tatsumi? I expected nothing less from my mate." With that Leone gave Tatsumi a big hug, which cause the boy to go right into her breast. Which Lubbock gave a look of rage as this was happening, Akame gave her a blank look not seeing anything wrong at all with what Leone was doing to Tatsumi. Naruto found that look cute on her face. But decide to drop his thoughts right there. Tatsumi got out of Leone hug to look at Naruto, he needed to ask him something important.
"Naruto just what are the 13 Longinus Gears? All you told me so far were that they were really strong. I would like to know just what am getting into." Tatsumi gave Naruto a serious look, information was power so it was to know everything he should know. Naruto seeing his look started to explain to him what the 13 Longinus Gears really were.
"Ok so has any one of you have read the Bible?" Seeing only Lubbock raise his hand Naruto continued "Well the 13 Longinus Gears are said to be tools that can slay a god." Naruto gave everyone a serious look on his face. Not joking at all. The voice of Mine interrupted him from continuing talking.
"You're joking right? I mean killing a god is impossible." Mine stated not believing one thing on what Naruto was saying at all. I mean if gods were real than why had they not came down to help them out? So far it seemed what Naruto was telling them was fake. Naruto just gave her a look which said shut up before continuing.
"As I was saying, the Longinus Gears can slay a god, given the fact that they each give the user some crazy abilities." Naruto started to look at Tatsumi before talking again. "I am telling you this because it is very important, most people who know about the 13 Longinus Gears will seek you out. Hell some may even try to kill you before you learn to master the gear." Tatsumi turn pale as a ghost from hearing that, I mean sure he knew he could die young from being an assassin. But just having the gear gave him more enemies. That was not the greatest of things to hear coming from Naruto.
"So wait what order does it come in? I believe that True Longinus would go first. Seeing as that were the other names comes from." The voice of Lubbock ask with an interested look on his face. Naruto seeing this smirk at him for understanding what he was saying.
"Yes you are right Lubbock, True Longinus is the first and most powerful Longinus Gear. Seeing as it was the spear that killed Jesus Christ." Naruto gave everyone a look before continuing. "Let me tell you the order of each Longinus Gear from top to bottom." With that Naruto started to talk once more. "Coming from the top we have True Longinus, Zenith Tempest, Annihilation Maker, and Dimension Lost." Naruto look at them before continuing once more. "Now we have the mid-tier Longinus Gears which are the Boosted Gear, Divine Dividing, and Regulus Nemea." Naruto look at Tatsumi now before continuing. "And now the low-tier Longinus Gears which are the Canis Lykaon, Sephiroth Graal, Incinerate Anthem, Absolute Demise, Innovate Clear, and Telos Karma. Those are the 13 Longinus Gears said to kill Gods once master." Naruto stop talking in order to see everyone face.
"So you're saying we have the power to slay a god?" Tatsumi gave Naruto a dry look, as if he was trying to believe Naruto or not. Before Tatsumi could say anything the voice of Ddraig spoke out.
{Naruto speaks the truth.} The red Welsh voice in, gaining everyone attention once more. {I can tell you now Tatsumi. That you're Longinus- Type Gear can kill a god. I for one am a Longinus Gear, so I can tell you. That you could kill a god.} The red welsh stop talking, giving Naruto another chance to talk to Tatsumi.
"Tatsumi." Naruto gave him a look, "I did not believe half the things Ddraig told me at first. But the things I have face has got me to believe it's the truth."
"But it too hard to believe what your saying is true. I mean who created the scared gears anyway?" Tatsumi look at Naruto for his answer.
{Let me tell you about the scared Gears. And how they were created.} With that Ddraig began to tell his tale on how the sacred gears where created.
(30 minutes later)
With that Ddraig ended his tale. The room was really quite, no one said a thing. Not knowing how to take supernatural creatures living. Or the fact that scared gears were created by god. The person who spoke up was Lubbock.
"I believe you." With that Lubbock got a look from Mine. Who could not believe what she was hearing.
"What! You can't be serious Lubbock! How can you believe this?" Mine shouted out with rage, not wanting to believe Ddraig at all. I mean who would believe Ddraig at all. The fact that Devils, Angles, and Fallen Angles were real was crazy. Lubbock turn to her to speak.
"Come on Mine, what Ddraig told us could be true, I mean it all adds up when you think about it." With that Lubbock started to speak again. "I mean god created the scared gear to protect humans, while the other races battle it out, that and the fact that the world is a big place; meaning there could be things we have not seen yet."
"Ok so how many Longinus user you seen so far Naruto?" The voice of Tatsumi ask, gaining everyone attention at the topic. Naruto return the looks with a blank look.
"So far just you, but I know for a fact I will meet the user of Divine Dividing." Naruto seeing everyone face started to explain to them. "The user of Divine Dividing is my rival, he's the White Dragon Emperor, while am the Red Dragon Emperor; so you could say were enemies." Akame gave Naruto a questioning look.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Akame gave Naruto a look wanting him to explain more. The voice of Ddraig interrupted them.
{My rival is Albion who is place inside Divine Dividing. Making his host Naruto rival in return.} Ddraig stop talking, in order to ley Naruto continue. Which he did a few seconds later.
"Yeah that how it going to go. Most of the past users of Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing have battled it out. But this generation it's my turn." Naruto gazed at everyone in the room, "This generations Sekiryūtei vs this generations Hakuryuukou, I wonder how that would turn out?" Naruto wonder what his rival would be like. He would just have to find out himself.
"Is that fight going to be dangerous? I mean you just told us that you guys are going to fight. Does that mean it's going to be a death match?" Tatsumi look at Naruto for his answer to his question.
"Yeah you could say that, the past users of Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing have ended up killing each other, but am going to win this fight; I have promises to keep." Naruto face was filled with will to live on. Tatsumi gave Naruto a serious look.
"You better win Naruto, I for one don't want to see you die, and that goes for everyone else in this room." Naruto look at everyone, each of them giving him a serious look. Akame was giving him the hardest look.
"Naruto… be careful if you face him." With that ended the conversation. With that everyone went out their day.
(3 days later)
We could now find Naruto watching Tatsumi and Lubbock training. Tatsumi decided in order to master Incursio he would need to train harder. Lubbock decide to get stronger as well, so with that they decide to do some push-ups. Akame and Leone decide to him them out. So they were sitting on top of them. Naruto already complete his training in the morning. So he was taking a break for now. With Sora on his head, Naruto saw Mine running up to them asking for help with training. They talk for a bit before Akame said something about Leone weight. Which got her a hit on the head.
Najenda came back in order to tell them that she was getting some new recruits. So she told them that Akame was in charge, so with that Najenda was about to leave but a new voice stop them.
"Naruto it's been a while." With that all the Night Raid members were all on guard, but the look on Naruto face stop them.
"Jiraiya what the hell are you doing here?" Naruto turn around to see Jiraiya standing on top of the roof. Jiraiya grin at him, before jumping down to do his weird dance.
"I am the men who makes all men envy, I make all women dream of me; I am the mighty Jiraiya!" With that Jiraiya completed his dance, while waving his hair in the air. Everyone just gave Jiraiya a dry think. As if they were wondering if they should take this men seriously. Mine beat them to the punch, when she pointed her Pumpkin at him.
"Who the hell are you?" Jiraiya just gave her a dry look, which said are you stupid look.
"I already told you I am the mighty Jiraiya! Toad sage of Mount Myoboku! One of the three legendary Sannin! And writer of ichi-ichi." Naruto just glare at the man. Wanting to get this show on the road.
"Mine don't worry about him, he's just my stupid teacher." Jiraiya just face fault to the ground. While everyone look at Naruto.
"He's your teacher Naruto? He seems like a fool to me." Mine look to Naruto who gave her a sad look in return.
"Yeah he's my teacher sadly." With that Jiraiya gained an even more depress look. Before glaring back at Naruto.
"Brat that no way to talk to your teacher." With that Jiraiya got up to glare at Naruto, "You should be thanking me really. I took you in under my wing, teaching you my skills." With that Jiraiya puff his chest up in pride. While Naruto gave him a dry look.
"True you did train me but, you are still a pervert." Jiraiya gave Naruto an angry look, before defending himself.
"Brat am not a pervert… am a super pervert!" With that Jiraiya did his weird dance again. This got reactions from everyone. Tatsumi and Akame gave Jiraiya dry looks, while Leone grin at Jiraiya. Mine look as if she was about to shot Jiraiya down, Lubbock look to Jiraiya as if he was his god. While Najenda was wondering if this was really Naruto teacher. Naruto just glared back at the men, before speaking back.
"You mean those trash books you write on your free time." Jiraiya look downright ready to murder Naruto.
"My books are art, the only reason you don't like them is because you're a brat." Jiraiya would not let Naruto insult his master piece known as Ichi-Ichi. No one would insult his work of art.
"What type of books do you make?" The voice of Lubbock ask as he look at Jiraiya with an interested look on his face. Jiraiya seeing this gave the boy a copy of Ichi-Ichi.
"I can tell you will love this book kid, unlike some people." Jiraiya shot Naruto a look, Naruto was about to stop Lubbock from reading the book. But he was too late, as Lubbock started to read the book. A glow appeared on Lubbock face before knocking him out. Najenda gave Jiraiya a look before talking.
"Can we all talk inside now?" Najenda gave Jiraiya a serious look. Who return it right back, this told everyone play time was over. With that the all went inside to talk. Sora dragging Lubbock inside the hideout to.
(Some time later)
Najenda and Jiraiya stop talking to one another. Each giving their side of their story to each other. Before Jiraiya turn to Naruto.
"Well brat it seems you got yourself into some trouble." Jiraiya eyes turn serious as he gazed at Naruto, it was just like the boy to get himself into trouble. Now Naruto was dealing with a war. Which could or could not kill him. I mean how did a training trip turn out like this? Jiraiya was sure that nothing could go wrong with a simple training trip. But it seems that Naruto hade to change that problem yet again. That boy was a trouble magnet sometimes, but it could not be all bad. I mean maybe this war would help out Naruto. It would strengthen the boy for what was yet to come.
"I know Jiraiya, but am not going to sit by and do nothing. As the people suffer from this corrupted government, am going to stand up and fight." Naruto may not be from this country. But he would never sit back, and watch as lives suffer from corrupted people. If he would stand up to Gato and Doto, than he would dame sure fight for these people. That was a fact that Naruto was not going to go back on.
"Well I have no problem with you working together with Night Raid, but you're going to need some extra help." With that Jiraiya pulled out a pure black steel sword, it size being the same as Akame Murasame, while the handle being all black. Most people would find this sword normal, but to the highly trained group of assassins, they knew it was a Teigu. The question was which one was it? With that Lubbock went to grab his book, having information on Teigus. Their abilities and their looks with that Lubbock got to work. Finding it sometime later, before speaking.
"Mugetsu, one of the teigu that feed off sin. This sword was created to weed out evil people at heart. The sword known abilities are to completely control the element known as darkness, for it is a sword that will send its enemies to hell, this sword lives up to it name. Since the people that face this sword will not live to see the next moon. The downsides of using this sword is that if you are evil at heart you will die, since this sword only allows good people at heart to use it." With that Lubbock completely read all the information that was on Mugetsu. Naruto turn to sword, before walking towards it. But a hand stop him from continuing.
"Naruto that sword could kill you if you fail its test." Akame gave Naruto a worry look, not sure if he should risk his life for it. Naruto gave her smile, before walking towards the sword.
"Don't worry I be find Akame… beside I can't turn away from this. Since their some things you can't run away from." With that Naruto reach out to the sword. He could hear voices talking to him. The second he touch the sword the voices became full blast. Naruto was floating in a sea of darkness. Before getting attack by voices.
"You believe you deserve this power boy? So many people have come to calm me but end up dyeing what makes you any different?" The voice ask with a cold tone, Naruto could feel darkness circling around him. The darkness seem ready to kill him, if he got his answer wrong. Naruto stood strong before answering the question.
"I won't fail, I have to protect everyone I care about. And I do anything to protect them from the monsters in the dark!" Naruto shout right back to the darkness. In return he got a dark chuckle, before turning to full blown out laughter. The laughing stop before talking back.
"Well see about that boy, but let face what truly inside your heart." With that a dark version of Naruto appeared before him. This Naruto was different since it had dark red eyes, with a scowl on his face. The dark version of Naruto look at Naruto with loathing. Just pure disgust as he gazed at the good half of Naruto.
"We finally meet face to face scum." The dark Naruto glared at the good half. Naruto was confused with him. So he ask him a question.
"What do you mean by that?" The dark Naruto gave Naruto a mocking look, as if he was truly stupid.
"And here I thought that training trip would help you out. It turns out your still the same stupid kid as always, running to protect every god dame little thing!" The dark Naruto glared at Naruto in raged, catching Naruto off guard for a bit. "If you most known why I think your stupid it is because you still want to protect your stupid village." Naruto glared at the dark version of himself for a few seconds. As if he was wondering what his problem was?
"My village is not stupid! They're a lot of good people their! I won't let you talk down on them!" Naruto shouted back in rage. He would not stand for someone insulting his village. That was the village he was going to protect when he became its leader. So yeah Naruto would not stand for what dark Naruto said at all.
"How are they such a great village? When they treat us like crap!" Naruto could feel the hate coming out of dark Naruto mouth. It became worse when he could see visions of his childhood coming to life. The visions became worse as Naruto started to face them. Naruto could hear every word and insult they spoke to him. Naruto could also feel his inner hate inside himself. But be that as it may he could not give in. Naruto started to fight against the dark thoughts, by thinking of all the good times he had with his friends. Be it friends at home or his new ones. This cause all the dark visions to go away. Dark Naruto face was filled with shock, before rage over took him.
"How! Can you still care about them? Don't you remember what they did to us! How can you just forget about that?" Naruto gave him a powerful look, ones that could even see inside the soul in you look your hardest.
"I don't care about that, am still going to protect them all!" Naruto shouted this with power in his voice. This cause dark Naruto to shake before charging him.
"You dame fool! Dark Naruto try to punch Naruto in the face. But Naruto caught his punch before giving dark Naruto a hug.
"…Why." Dark Naruto mumbled, trying to stop the tears from coming down on his fact. Not understanding Naruto at all, how could he still want to protect people? When it was the village that cause him so much pain. How could he still act like this? It was not right at all.
"I know how you feel, sometimes I still feel the same way as you do, but it's not going to change anything." Naruto grip on dark Naruto got harder. "If I do what they did to me than am no better than them. I don't want a repeat of everything happening all over again, so I decide to be better person." Naruto voice became strong, not holding anything back to his counterpart.
"…But that won't change anything am still here inside you, so what your still going to forget what inside of you?"
"No its time I started accepting myself, no more will I fight by myself, today we fight to gather." With that dark Naruto and Naruto became whole at last. Deep within Naruto mind Kurama mumbled.
"So you accepted your dark half Naruto." Kurama mumbled before going back to sleep.
Naruto was back in the real world, holding Mugetsu in his hand. Naruto could feel the power the sword gave off. With this he would be able to protect everyone.
"Well Naruto it seems you got your Teigu, how does it feel?' Tatsumi look at Mugetsu in Naruto hands, all he got was a look in return.
"I never felt better in my life." Naruto felt complete at last. Darkness warping around him, Naruto gave a smirk at everyone.
"This sword is perfect for Night Raid. Since are enemies won't live to see the next moon."
"You got that right Naruto!" Leone gave a big grin, before punching her hands to gather. The rest of Night Raid agreeing with her. Jiraiya seeing this was the best time to talk did just that.
'Well Naruto seeing as you're doing just find I be on my way." With that Jiraiya began to leave before Naruto stop him.
"Wait where are you going anyway?" Jiraiya turn to Naruto to answer.
"While you do your thing here, am going to kill some corrupted people from the shadows." With that Jiraiya left.
"What did he mean by that?" Tatsumi ask looking right at Najenda.
"Once this war is over, people will still try to gain power. So Jiraiya decide to kill off all those type of people while spying on them for us. So you could say he's helping us from behind the shadows." With that Najenda decide to take her leave as well, leaving Akame in charge of everything.
"Well I don't know about you guys but am going to train." With that Naruto went to the forest.
(3 days later)
We can now find Naruto training with Mugetsu, trying to control the element known as darkness. Easy say than done, so far Naruto was having a hard time trying to control darkness. So far he was failing, but he was making little progress, as Naruto continued training a voice called him out.
"Naruto having trouble." Naruto could see Akame on top off a tree, eating an evil bird while giving him an interested look.
""Well yeah am having trouble controlling the darkness." Akame jump down to face Naruto face to face, before deciding to help.
"What's so hard about it?" Akame gazed at Mugetsu before back at Naruto. Naruto decide to show her by trying to welded darkness. Nothing came out, which cause Naruto to get depress. Akame seeing the problem gained a plan. Wanting to try it out she gazed at Naruto.
"Naruto try becoming calm, maybe you must try to will it out." Naruto not seeing the problem did that. Trying to feel out the element, Naruto called out his darkness. Naruto got his result when a tree was destroy behind him.
"I see I was right, you're going to have to consecrate a lot more to master your power." Naruto gave her a look.
"How did you know what my problem was?" Naruto gave Akame a confused look. All he got in return look was an emotionless look.
"Darkness takes more control than fire, so you must be more calm and willing to crush your enemies to use it." Akame decide to continue explaining to Naruto. "The darkness its you're complete opposite so it's understandable that you would be having trouble using it." Naruto just look at Akame before giving her a big hug.
"What are you doing?" Akame gained a small blush on her face, while Naruto gave her a big grin.
"Thanks for the help that all, I have been trying hard on this, so thanks for the help." With that Naruto went back to his training.
"Do you want any help with training?" With that Akame pointed her sword at Naruto, who in return grab Mugetsu.
"Sure but this time am going to win."
"Keep telling yourself that."
With that Naruto and Akame started their sword duel once again. The time went by fast but they did not care. They stop fighting after two hours pass, by than they went back to the base to rest up.
"Am telling you Akame Sora likes you." Naruto pointed to his cat who was on top of Akame head. Akame was rubbing Sora head, the cat in return purred from the treatment.
"All am doing is rubbing his head." Akame gave Naruto a blank look. Naruto continue to look at her in shock.
"Yeah but when I try to do that to him he scratches me." Naruto gained a somewhat depress look when he said this.
"Well maybe you're not doing it right." Naruto was about to say something back, but the door slam open.
"Tatsumi been capture by Esdeath!" Leone and Lubbock came running inside. Akame stop what she was doing in order to give them a serious look.
"What do you mean by that?" Leone started exampling on how Tatsumi went to a tournament in order to gain money for his village. But Esdeath capture him, so right now they did not know what was happening to him. Naruto and Akame wanted to go and rescue him, but a voice stop them.
"You two should stop what you're doing." Mine gave them both a stern look, "Tatsumi should be safe their no wanted posters of him out so he should be fine." Akame slam her hand on the table.
"So we do nothing! Tatsumi is our comrade so we have to save him." Akame eyes gained a determine look, but Naruto stop her.
"We should wait it out, let's first find Tatsumi than we can rescue him. In the mean time we should move the base." Naruto gave his option out, everyone agree to it. So with that thy created a plan to rescue Tatsumi.
(Next day)
It was not really that hard to rescue Tatsumi. Since he got away from the Jagers by himself. After that he told everyone about the Jagers. Tatsumi also stated that Esdeath was on a whole different level. Akame told everyone she would be the one to kill Esdeath. So would that everyone left the room, leaving Naruto and Akame the last in the room.
"Akame can you really kill your sister?" Naruto ask in concern, he did not know Kurome really. But Akame killing her would most likely kill her inside. Akame gave Naruto a cold look.
"Yes she will be eliminated." Naruto frown at the girl.
"Why didn't she come with you? I mean since you join the army, wouldn't she follow you." Naruto look at her for an answer, in return he got a serious look
"Kurome takes drugs from the emperor making her want to stay, to her am a traitor who abandon everyone. But I feel am fighting for something right." Akame gave Naruto a look, "Why do you care anyway?" Naruto gave her a serious look.
"I wanted to see if I could get her to change sides." All he got in return was a cold look from Akame.
"You can't save her so you should just give up, if I couldn't do it what makes you think you can?" Naruto got up right from his seat to look at her.
"I want to give it a shot, without the whole killing each other comes out." Naruto collar was grab yanking him right next to Akame face. The look she gave his was like a child getting scolded by his parent.
"I told you to give up! Nothing would come from you trying to save her, I try my hardest but she would not lesson to me, so I repeat what gives you the chance when I could not?" Naruto could see tears coming down from Akame face, so he wipe them of before speaking.
"You never know unless you try, so am not going to give up on her yet." With that Naruto gained a determined look on his face.
"Why?"
"What?" Naruto gazed at Akame with a confused look on his face.
"Why do you care so much about this? What do you gain from this?" Naruto gave her a cheesy grin.
"I don't want to see you in pain." This caused Akame eyes to gaze at him. "You don't deserve to feel any more pain after everything you went through, that's why am going to make sure you don't kill your sister. To make sure you don't have to feel any more pain again." Naruto look her right in the eyes when he say this. "So deal with it, as long as am here for you, I be the one that protecting you." Naruto grab Akame hand, before placing his forehead protector on it. With that Naruto started to walk away.
"Hold on to that for me, this is a promise before I leave this country I will make sure you won't have to kill your sister." Naruto look at Akame one more time her eyes were completely on him as he speaks. "You can hold your sister as much as you want after this whole things over. This is a promise of a life time, so wait for me okay." Naruto gave Akame a smile.
"Am going to get back your sister no matter what, even if I have to face the emperor strongest to do so. So watch me do so." With that Naruto left the room, if he turn around to look at Akame. He would see a blush on her face, no one had ever told her something so nice. It got her feeling warm inside. Placing a hand to her chest she wonder.
"What is this felling?" Akame felt really warm. Not knowing what to do with this new feeling at all. This got her really confused, so she decide to forget about it. And worry about the next day. Not knowing she would be getting this feeling a lot. From our Red Dragon Emperor. With that Akame went to bed, with Naruto forehead protector in hand. Wondering what the next day would bring.
Chapter 2 Over.
