I don't own Akame ga kill or Naruto this is a fan fiction.

My job as far as I understood it was to be her spotter and backup if needed. In a way, I saw why no woman would willingly sleep with the man, as I looked at him surrounded by his guards. This guy was hideous, and I mean he makes some danger monsters look almost human by comparison.

If I was a guessing man I would say this man's body was 90 percent fat. He simply made a pot belly pig look lean by comparison. If a big enough danger beast ate him whole, the poor beast would die from a heart attack.

"So he is surrounded by a few dozen guards, do you still think this will be easy for you Mine?" She didn't even stop looking through the scope of her weapon when she answered me. "Piece of cake, I can pick him off with my eyes closed. I still don't know why they sent you with me. I could do this alone."

I knew nothing was as easy as it seems, my instincts were screaming that there was something that she was overlooking. I sent five clones to hide around us just to be sure. She took a deep breath and from the weapon, she was aiming a light began to build up. As soon as she let out her breath, the weapon fired in a ray of light that shot right through our target's chest.

As soon as he fell dead from the way his body was pushed by the firepower of Mine's weapon. I knew that some of the guards had actually found us. In a matter of seconds, we were surrounded by five people.

"So I gather you are the personal guard of that idiot we just killed. Guys, there is no need to throw away your lives, you can leave here and we both can go our separate way." Several of the men looked at a man who was just laughing as I finished saying that.

"I wish it could be so easy, but if we don't capture you to explain what happened to our boss, the Prime Minister will kill all of us and have us for dinner. I counter your generous offer, you two surrender and if you tell us where the rest of the Night Raid is, we might even let both of you live."

I guess it couldn't be helped. "Well I guess there was no way to avoid this, well I do hope you five have a better luck in your next life, but a word to the unwise, next time check your surroundings before you try to corner your enemy."

They all thought I was bluffing, till I clicked my fingers and under each of the men a small explosion was set off burning the men to ashes. I smiled as I looked at the shocked look on Mine's face.

I walked over to the place where the man I spoke to had been. A shadow clone came out of the shadows and handed me the man's hip pouch. "Well, Mine no reason to stay around, come on we need need to report our mission. Like I said to the boss, this job was simply too easy, and the enemy was as weak as they were stupid."

"They rushed to try and capture us, and when they thought they could get the rest of our guys, they asked us to turn traitor. I know for a fact that there are no traitors with us. To ask is like saying that the Prime Minister embezzles so much of the Empire's own money to open an orphanage and help the needy, which never happens."

I had to agree with Mine as she said that, we both walked back to the point where we could be taken back to our base, without having to worry if some idiot is following us.

As soon as we walked into the base Najenda was waiting for us to hear our report. "Mission successful, one dead corrupt bastard dead, and five of his own elite guards to boot. I guess I really had no reason to worry at all. Naruto took care of the five guards by himself. I just wish he told me when he planted those explosives."

I looked at Mine as she finished giving her report, "Why should you worry where the explosives were, they wouldn't go off unless I trigger them in the first place, as to when I did that while you were looking for the target through the scope of your weapon. I just like to keep all possible situations in check."

The boss smiled as I said that, "That is a good way to think about it Naruto, nice to see someone in our group thinking outside the box. You two must want a bath, some food, and rest. I need to speak with Naruto in private, but you are free to go Mine."

Somehow I got the feeling this was not going to be a friendly chat, almost like someone had been keeping an eye on me. As soon as we were alone she told me to follow her to her office. As soon as we entered and the door was closed she walked towards her desk and turned around to face me.

"Why did you offer the chance for the elite guard to leave in peace? Don't you know that they could have told others your identities? I know you prepared for what actually I also would expect to happen, but I need to know why you offered them that choice. It was almost merciful on your part."

I knew that she worried about the safety of the group, and I couldn't very well blame her for it. I am not merciful with the enemy, especially ones in league with the bastards that killed my kids. I had other plans for those guards.

"Had they accepted I was planning to place a seal on the leader by shaking his hand. Once he got back to his superiors and reported that he met a pair of assassin's from Night Raid, the seal would activate and everything within that building would be crushed to dust. I did not offer them any mercy, I was planning on using them to kill high ranking officers in league with the Prime Minister."

I saw her nod her head, "Guess I jumped to conclusions, you were planning to use this to eliminate potential dangers to our group. I must admit that did not occur to me as I heard the report from Lubbock. Why would you go to such extremes for a group you just joined?"

I looked at her and asked her one question, why did she assume I was doing it only for the group's benefit? I had a stake in this also, it was the Prime Minister that allowed the sick family that killed my kids to do as they pleased. They did it to improve the stock of poisons and interrogations tactics for him anyways.

"This sick bastard pretty much had a hand in the deaths of my kids. If someone is in league with them and they are as corrupt or too blindly loyal to the bastard. I might want to put them to good us. Meaning the more of the troops loyal to the Prime Minister we get rid of the better."

She came up to me and placed her hand on my shoulder. "You certainly don't think like someone would expect from someone that looks as young as you do."

I looked at her and smiled, "I told you once already, I was the best friend of the first Emperor, guess you need more proof. I was the one that hunted the danger beast he later used to make his imperial arms, and I was the best man at his wedding. If that is not enough I was the godfather to his son."

"I been alive for such a long time, that even the land has changed shape in the time I been alive. I remember continents that are no longer there, rivers that became oceans, hills that became mountains, and forests that became deserts. I never lie to you boss, and it hurts a little that you would think I would."

She laughed as she took her hand off my shoulder and said that she too liked to think outside the box, and being so close to the first Emperor, it would not be out of the realm of possibilities that I was loyal to the current Emperor.

I pulled on a nearby chair and sat down. "My friend had a wonderful dream, a dream I didn't mind helping to make come true. I stayed with him as his Prime Minister and even till his grandson took the throne. The kid would not listen to what I tried to teach him. I told him the Empire exists thanks to the people, and as Emperor, it was his duty to be their constant protector."

"He was an adult by most standards but he was also very much into things that made him happy. I got tired of his constant excuses so I left. I built a home with a few friends, and we made a pretty decent living there for a time. I eventually adopted three little kids, and I raised them as my children. I taught them everything I could about being a ninja."

I looked at her and then looked down shaking my head, "You pretty much know what happened to my kids. I adopted because I can never have kids with anyone. Believe me, I tried and the result was not pretty, not pretty at all."

She put her hand on my shoulder and she asked me in a rather hushed voice about who that woman was. I told her she was my long dead wife, the only girl I ever married. Her name was Susanna, she liked to be called Suzy. She then grabbed my shoulder harder and told me to look at her.

"Suzy was the nickname of the sister of the First Emperor. You mean to tell me you married the sister of the First Emperor!" I didn't see why she was so upset about. I got up from the chair and looked at her, she backed off from me.

"I did, I told you he was my best friend. We spent a lot of time together and we built the Empire that you know now. So, of course, I got to know his sister and even married her. Why are you acting like this is a major issue? I am not of this bloodline, therefore the Imperial Arm that is in the castle will not react to me, and thus I am not eligible to ascend to the throne."

As we walked back I was called to the office of our boss, and I was supposed to go alone. Mine was perfectly fine with this and she didn't mind it one bit. I somehow got the feeling that she wanted to talk about what she learned about me with the others, idle gossip and such. The other reason was that she just flat out didn't like me at all.

As I walked in I saw our leader looking rather upset, "Naruto you just got back from a mission, and I should really let you rest but I think I need your help dealing with a particularly tough target. You and I are going right now to meet the person who requested this target's elimination."

"It is traditional for Night Raid to acknowledge or refuse to take on the elimination of a target in person. So my advice is for you to grab a bottle of that dragon blood you liked so much and come with me. It's something you will eventually have to do, and thus as your leader it is my responsibility to show you we do things."

I still didn't understand why the meeting was in a graveyard of all place, as soon as I saw the woman crying in front of a grave I understood why.
