I'M BACK everybody! and welcome to the final chapter of this epic tale. And I think you all know what's coming in this chapter: lemon city! But there's a lot more going on than just lemons in this chapter, so let's get this show on the road. Because once again ladies and gentlemen...IT'S SHOWTIME!

Authors Note: This chapter takes place two years after the end of Chapter 3. Also, Naruto will have become Hokage after the time skip, but will leave Kakashi in charge of the village when he is away from it.

Also, as previously mentioned on my DeviantArt page, beginning with the final chapter of this story, Naruto will now have the same spiked haircut as his namesake from "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi." Lastly, Akame has been cured of Murasame's poison by this point by Naruto thanks to his Eternal Rinnegan.

It was a relatively normal day in the New Nation. The people were thriving, and life in the new regime was at an all-time high since the fall of Honest and the old regime, so much so that no one even talks about the old days anymore.

Since the Revolutionary Alliance had taken out the old Empire, Najenda and Lubbock had promptly taken command of the leadership role in the New Nation, and they were beloved by the people for their heroism and the things they had done in liberating the people from Honest's corruption.

After Honest was taken care of, Najenda and Night Raid had personally taken care of any and all stragglers left from Honest's regime, wanting to eliminate even the smallest chance of any corruption ever haunting the people of the Empire ever again.

As for Emperor Makoto, Naruto personally took him back with him to the Elemental Continent before leaving him in the hands of Gaara, knowing if there was anyone who could be counted on to help the young former Emperor find redemption for his sins while also keeping a close eye on him, it was his fellow jinchuuriki brother who he himself had helped redeem.

Najenda and Lubbock had set out to repair the damage done by Honest's regime over the last two years. They had lowered taxes and had sent financial aid to the people and places where it was needed, especially to places like Tatsumi's home village. Najenda had also abolished things like public executions and organized torture that Honest had used to rule through fear while also decreeing that anyone caught doing such things ever again would be put to death.

With Najenda running the New Nation and effectively relinquishing command of Night Raid, Akame took over the leadership role of the team as General of Night Raid. Although with Honest and his regime's corruption effectively snuffed out, things were relatively peaceful in the New Nation nowadays, making her title more of a formality than anything else. And the best part about it was, this really didn't bother Akame one bit.

Currently, at Night Raid's hideout, we find Tatsumi and Leone in an intense sparring session with Chelsea, Mine, and Sheele looking on. Leone had her Lionelle activated and Tatsumi had his balanced Incursio armor on and the two were going hand-to-hand with Leone matching Tatsumi blow for blow.

"They're really going all-out, aren't they?" Sheele said as she watched her teammates spar.

"Did you expect anything else, this is Tatsumi and Leone we're talking about. I don't think those two know the meaning of the word 'restraint.'" Mine chuckled.

"I think you should know that better than anyone. Isn't that right, Mrs. Tatsumi?" Chelsea grinned and Mine blushed heavily at what Chelsea had just said as she looked down at the bundle sleeping in her arms.

That's right folks, Tatsumi and Mine are now a married couple after having tied the knot just a few short months after the raid on the capitol and both are the proud parents of an infant pink-haired, green-eyed girl. Meet little Kaida (which in Japanese translates to "Little Dragon").

"Chelsea, that statement really doesn't have much sass behind it coming from you. Especially when you've been in the same bed as I have. Isn't that right, Mrs. Tatsumi?" Mine shot back with a smirk as Chelsea's face heated up before looking down at the ring on her finger.

Oh, I guess I forgot to mention. Mine is not the only one Tatsumi is married to now. It took A LOT of convincing at first, but once Mine saw how much Chelsea truly loved Tatsumi she asked Tatsumi about it and when she realized he had the same feelings about her, she gave Chelsea the green light and the two were soon married a couple of months ago, and Chelsea couldn't have been happier.

Back with the sparring Leone and Tatsumi, Leone leapt at Tatsumi from behind and aimed a swipe for the back of his neck. Tatsumi caught her arm before flipping her up and over and onto her back before driving his armored elbow into her ribs, driving the air out of Leone's lungs.

Leone used Tatsumi's momentum to flip him over where now he was on his back and she was over him raining down blows onto him before he shoved her off and both charged at each other before their fists met in an impact that sent a shockwave that nearly blew the three spectators watching out of their seats.

"Alright Tatsumi, what do you say we call it even for now?" Leone said.

"Fine with me, I could use a break anyway," Tatsumi said before both Night Raid members powered down their respective Teigu.

"Nice to see you two haven't gotten rusty since I last saw you." They heard someone say and they all turned just in time to see Naruto approaching the hideout.

"Naruto, about time you got here. What took you so long?" Leone asked.

"Getting through customs is what took me so long. You know coming from an outside nation like the Elemental Continent means I have to go through a more extensive search when I come into the New Nation." Naruto joked, and Leone just laughed.

"Yeah, you can blame Boss for that new law. Thanks to her, now it's damn near impossible to sneak anything past customs." Leone chuckled.

"Yeah well, what took me so long was that the people in customs having to check out all of my ninja tools and make sure nothing I had was illegal or stolen. Once that was all checked out, it was smooth sailing from there." Naruto explained.

"In that case, I'd say you should consider yourself lucky you still have all your weapons and none of them got confiscated," Tatsumi said and Naruto scoffed.

"As if you're one to talk about luck. Says the guy with TWO wives." Naruto deadpanned making Tatsumi smirk proudly.

"Am I detecting a little bit of jealousy Naruto?" Tatsumi said with a cocky grin on his face that would make his wives proud.

"Me, jealous. What do I have to be jealous of? I'm the son of a Kage, the reincarnation of a descendant of Chakra, heir to the Uzumaki clan, hero of the 4th war, the Seventh Hokage, and a jinchuuriki badass. Tell me what I have to be jealous of." Naruto indignantly said.

"Well, all that may be true Naruto. But at least Tatsumi here can say he's not a virgin anymore." Mine snarked and with that comment, Leone and Chelsea lost it laughing and even Sheele and Tatsumi couldn't help but grin at Naruto, who was looking like someone had just stolen his ramen.

"Gonna need some medical treatment for that one." Leone laughed.

"Now that was just totally uncalled for Mine!" Naruto complained before Chelsea just smirked and decided to further rub salt into the wound.

"You know it's actually pretty fitting that Naruto is still a virgin. Because everyone knows that you can't spell the name 'Naruto' without using the letters: N-O." Chelsea roasted causing everyone to nearly kill over laughing at the blonde sage while Naruto looked as if he'd just been slapped across the face.

"Okay, even for you that was savage. Nice job Chelsea." Mine guffawed before hi-fiving her fellow waifu.

"I hate you guys." Naruto bitterly said.

"Ah, no you don't. You know you can't get enough of us. Why else would you keep coming back to see us?" Chelsea said as she ruffled Naruto's blonde hair in a sisterly manner.

"Hey, I just realized, you've grown your hair out Naruto," Sheele said and everyone took notice that Sheele was correct. Naruto's spiky hair had grown out with a spiked fringe hanging over his forehead.

"Oh, you noticed. I decided the short-haired look didn't fit me like my old spiked look, so I decided to grow my hair out again." Naruto said.

"You thought right, you look better with the spikes than you do without them." Leone said.

"Thanks, hey by the way where's Akame-chan? Is she out in the Capitol with Najenda and Lubbock?" Naruto asked.

"Nah, she's just stuffing her face over by the fire as usual. Come on, we'll show you." Leone said, and they guided him over to another area of the hideout where Akame sat over by the fire roasting a nice juicy bird-like Danger Beast while feasting away on the poor bird.

"Hey Akame, how's the bird?" Leone asked.

"Just fine, here catch you guys," Akame said as she tossed legs to each of her teammates who caught them and began to eat, and Naruto smiled at the red-eyed assassin, who he'd been in a steady relationship with since the end of Night Raid's assault on the Capital, much to the amusement of her teammates.

"Hey Akame-chan, good to see you again," Naruto said while Akame looked at him with a blank face that made him sweat slightly.

"Well, did you bring me anything from your home continent?" Akame asked making Naruto sweat even more and Akame's teammates just snickered at Akame reducing the proud shinobi to a nervous mess.

"Umm...well, no." Naruto hesitantly confessed.

"Then I'm sorry, but I won't be sharing any of my dinner with you," Akame said making Naruto's face fall and causing her teammates (Tatsumi especially) to kill over laughing once again.

"Looks like someone's found themselves in the doghouse." Chelsea chortled as Akame continued stuffing her face causing Naruto's stomach to growl loudly as he looked on in agony. Akame then looked at him and slowly began to smile before chuckling at the look of misery on his face."

"You should see the look on your face right now. Here, take this. I just wanted to see you sweat it out a little." Akame said as she handed him a leg too and Naruto graciously smiled before accepting it and digging in.

"But you know, there is one thing I did want from you Naruto-kun," Akame said as she took a bite from her meat.

"Oh, what's that?" Naruto asked mouth full of food and Akame raised an eye at him.

"Do you have to ask?" Akame replied before holding up Murasame. Naruto, understanding that he was being challenged simply grinned before taking out his own blade. Both of them stood up after finishing their meal and stepped out onto the battlefield.

"This is gonna be interesting," Chelsea said as she watched the two face each other.

"This will be the first time they've faced off since we first met Naruto and his team. I wonder how it will go this time around." Sheele curiously said.

"Hopefully Akame can make it a little bit more competitive this time. Last time it wasn't really a contest, Naruto dominated that duel." Mine said as she ate her leg while holding onto her still-sleeping daughter Kaida.

"Well, given our little Akame-chan's seen his best attacks and knows what he can do, I'm willing to bet it'll be a little bit closer this time." Leone said.

"I'll take that bet, I still say Naruto wins it though. That's just how strong he is." Tatsumi said and no one argued that logic as Akame and Naruto stood across from each other ready to battle.

"One for the Money" by Escape the Fate begins playing

"Let's go." Naruto and Akame both said as Naruto activated his Eternal Rinnegan and charged his blade with orange Sage Chakra before both of them shot at each other with blinding speed.

Both Naruto and Akame began clashing blades at a rapid pace, their speed so quick they were like blurs to the untrained eye as the two matched each other move-for-move. The two quickly separated before Akame went on the attack.

Akame aimed an overhead slash at Naruto before following up with a slash across the chest. Naruto blocked both attacks before responding with a slash of his own across Akame's chest, followed by a low slash to her legs. Akame blocked the first slash before dodging the second and leaping up and behind Naruto and kicking him in the back.

She then went for a stab to the chest that Naruto managed to deflect, although she had fully expected him to do so and spun back around 360 degrees with a swing to the head that he managed to block by bringing up a second blade that she immediately recognized as a Hiraishin Kunai.

"Still too slow Akame," Naruto said as he swung his blade at Akame who did a nice backflip to avoid the attack before turning to point her blade at the recently-teleported Naruto, who thought he was going to get the drop on her with the same trick he'd used during their first duel two years ago.

"Looks like someone was paying attention," Naruto said in appreciation.

"Didn't think I would fall for the same trick twice, did I?" Akame said and both smiled at each other before they began clashing blades again. Naruto struck fast and hard with quick and brutal swings of his blade. But he noticed that Akame seemed to be deflecting most of his attacks this time around.

As the duel continued, he noticed that Akame was guiding his blade with her own while doing her best to keep him at a distance in order to stop him from landing a significant shot on her. Akame's red eyes flashed as the sparks flew from their swords clashing with each other.

"Interesting, she's actually reading my attacks this time around. Given that she's actually seen my style up close and personal, it makes sense she'd be able to read me. Guess I'll have to change things up." Naruto thought to himself.

With this in mind, Naruto used Shinra Tensei to send Akame flying backward and Naruto sped after her. Akame did a somersault in midair before swiftly landing on her feet and continuing her duel with Naruto. Naruto continued fighting with Akame, but Akame noticed something was off almost as soon as they locked blades again.

Akame clashed blades with Naruto again, but he surprised her by switching to a backhanded grip and swinging his blade at hers with a series of lightning fast strikes. Akame was doing all she could to block them but blocking the sword strikes coming from different angles from before proved to be difficult.

Akame kicked Naruto back to gain some separation before speeding after him again. Naruto shocked her again by switching back to a normal grip and locking blades with her once more. Naruto pressured Akame and began to push her back. Akame responded by lashing out with a palm thrust to back him up and quickly following up with a slash across his chest while he was stunned.

Naruto quickly recovered and managed to deflect the attack before knocking Akame back with a kick of his own. Naruto quickly rushed in looking to gain the advantage and went for a flurry of swift swings of his blade that Akame barely managed to deflect.

Akame answered back with a flurry of her own at Naruto that he deflected with a backhanded sword grip before going on the attack. He aimed a swing across Akame's chest before flipping the blade over and going for an overhead swing followed by him switching back to a backhanded grip and launching a fast flurry of sword swings.

Akame did all she could to block the swings, but the unpredictable nature of Naruto's swings completely threw her off-balance and her sword was knocked from her hands before Naruto angled his blade at her and they stood still for a time before they both smiled.

"Looks like the duel is decided Akame-chan," Naruto said with a smile and Akame smiled back at him admirably.

"It appears so, looks like your skills are as sharp as ever Naruto-kun," Akame said as Naruto sheathed his blade and deactivated his Rinnegan before Akame retrieved her blade and did the same as they rejoined the rest of Night Raid.

"That was impressive you two, especially you Naruto. But it looks like you've been learning some new tricks since the last time we saw you fight. I don't remember you being able to switch grips with your sword like that." Tatsumi said and Naruto chuckled.

"That's actually a trick I borrowed from Sasuke. He's actually better at doing it than I am, but once I realized that Akame was reading my moves I decided to change things up and switch to fighting using his style instead of my own." Naruto explained, and everyone was impressed with his quick thinking.

"Naruto, I'll never get tired of saying this, but it's almost unfair how much stronger you are compared to the rest of us." Chelsea quipped.

"She does have a point. I can count on one hand the number of people who have been able to just stand up to Akame in a sword duel, let alone beat her on two separate occasions." Sheele chuckled.

"Yeah, and FYI, that number amounts to between zero and none where Akame is concerned," Mine smirked causing Naruto to laugh while rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Well in all honesty without all of the Tailed Beasts I have sealed within me along with my Rinnegan eyes and whatnot, Akame would be kicking my ass all over the New Nation."

"Besides, I may be all-powerful, but I only use that power when I need to." Naruto modestly said causing all of the Night Raid members to smile at his humility while Akame had a slight blush on her face.

"It's just amazing to me how you can be so powerful, but so humble Naruto. Most guys would be consumed by that kind of power, but you just act like it's no big deal." Tatsumi said.

"I'll say, it's little wonder why Akame-chan's head over heels for you." Leone said with a smirk causing Akame to blush even harder with Naruto sporting a blush of his own.

"Leone!" Akame cried while blushing scarlet causing her teammates to laugh at the normally composed assassin's flustered outburst.

~Later that night~

Naruto lay in bed that night thinking about his friends in Night Raid and their relentless teasing of his newfound relationship with the red-eyed swordswoman (now General) of Night Raid. It seemed like they enjoyed teasing and flustering him and Akame at any opportunity they could about it, with Chelsea, Mine, and Leone being the worst offenders.

"Man those guys never miss a chance to pick on me and Akame-chan. Kami only knows what will happen if we decide to ever take the next step." Naruto said to himself with a shiver as he closed his eyes and went to sleep. As he slept, he dreamt about Leone's mischievous Cheshire cat grin (if you'll pardon the pun) before snapping awake with a yell as he nervously panted before shivering in fright.

"Why the hell did I dream of her of all people!" Naruto thought to himself before laying back down and having a mercifully dreamless sleep.

~The next morning~

Chelsea stood outside of the living area with an annoyed look on her face. Every morning she was always the first one up along with Tatsumi and the two of them always had to wait on Mine to decide when she wanted to get up out of bed and get dressed.

"Hey Chelsea, you alright?" Tatsumi said as he approached her holding onto an awake Kaida, and she looked up and ruefully smiled at him.

"I'm fine Tatsumi, it's just that I'm sick of always having to wait on Mine's spoiled ass every single morning," Chelsea complained and Tatsumi frowned in agreement.

"I understand believe me. I know I may be married to her now, but it doesn't change that she's still the same spoiled brat I first met when I joined Night Raid. But I guess that why I love her so much." Tastumi said with a shake of his head and Chelsea grinned at him before looking up to see Naruto heading their way. As soon as she saw Naruto, an EVIL idea popped into Chelsea's head and a cruel smirk appeared on her face.

"Oh Naruto, can you come here for a moment," Chelsea said, trying to look as innocent as possible and Tatsumi got a suspicious look in his eye as he wondered what Chelsea was up to.

"Hey, Chelsea. Hey Tatsumi, what's up?" Naruto asked.

"I have a problem I was hoping you could fix for me. I need you to go and tell Mine to wake the hell up. She has a bad habit of sleeping in all the time and Tatsumi and I aren't waiting on her today." Chelsea said and Tatsumi sweat dropped at what Chelsea was trying to do.

"Why do you want me to wake her up?" Naruto asked.

"Because she always has an attitude problem whenever Tatsumi or I wake her up, so I figured she might take it better if you were the one to do it," Chelsea said with a falsely sweet smile that made Tatsumi sweat drop even more.

"Alright, but just know you owe me for this Chelsea," Naruto said as he went to wake up Mine.

"Don't worry Naruto and thanks!" Chelsea called as he walked away with Chelsea snickering all the while and Tatsumi looking at her with a completely flat look.

"You do realize you just signed that guy's death warrant, right?" Tatsumi bluntly said and Chelsea just evilly grinned.

"Hey, if she kills him, that's his fault for being so stupid, not mine," Chelsea said with a casual shrug of her shoulders and Tatsumi just shook his head at his second wife's mischievous ways.

Naruto walked down the hall like a man walking to his execution (not that he knew that) until he soon arrived at Tatsumi, Mine, and Chelsea's shared room. He reached for the handle of the door and hesitated for a second. But then, in a move he would later deeply regret, he opened the door anyway.

"Hey Mine, Chelsea wanted me to wake you the…" Naruto began to say before stopping mid-sentence as he walked in to see a fully awake Mine in the middle of getting dressed currently wearing nothing but her bra and panties.

The two stared at each other for a full thirty seconds before Mine's scream was heard throughout the hideout and suddenly a blast from Pumpkin blew a hole in the side of the hideout causing a massive tremor that caught Akame's attention as she was cooking breakfast.

"Not again. Oh well, guess Naruto-kun will have to run for his life." Akame thought to herself as she went back to cooking the food. Meanwhile, Chelsea sat in the living area with an evil smirk on her face while Tatsumi couldn't help but shake his head and grin while he played with his daughter as shot after shot rang out through the hideout along with Naruto and Mine's screams.

"You think you can just barge in on me while I'm getting dressed and get away with it you filthy pervert?! Get back here so you can die as you deserve!" Mine shouted while firing another blast from Pumpkin.

"Come on Mine, I said I was sorry okay! It wasn't even my fault, Chelsea tricked me into it I swear!" Naruto desperately pleaded.

"If she told you to go screw yourself, would you do that too you blonde dumbass?!" Mine berated before shooting at him again and Chelsea and Tatsumi both fell out laughing at that comment from Mine.

"Jeez, don't sugarcoat it Mine. Tell him how you really feel." Chelsea laughed and Tatsumi laughed along with her as Leone and Sheele appeared in the room.

"Hey, so looks like Mine and Naruto-kun are having fun." Leone said and Chelsea and Tatsumi looked at each other and just smirked.

"Yeah, fun. Exactly what we were thinking." Chelsea and Tatsumi said before high-fiving each other.

"She's really going after him, isn't she? Shouldn't someone help him before Mine kills him?" Sheele asked out of concern as she picked up Kaida as she crawled over to her and began cuddling her.

"Ah, he'll be alright. If Tatsumi could survive Mine's rampage, then I know Naruto-kun can. And Naruto's much faster that Tatsumi." Leone reasonably said, and everyone nodded in agreement at the valid point that the cat-like assassin made as they listened to Mine continue to try to blow Naruto to kingdom come.

~Later that day~

Naruto and Akame walked through the streets of the New Nation together as they headed to meet up with Najenda and Lubbock. Now that Akame was no longer a wanted woman since Honest's regime had been snuffed out, Akame could freely walk around and come and go as she pleased, which made Akame immensely happy.

"Wow, everyone sure does look happy now. Definitely a far cry from how things looked when I first arrived here two years ago." Naruto said as he observed how genuinely happy and thriving everyone in the Capitol appeared to be as they went about their business.

"Well, you can thank the Boss for that. Ever since she took over the leadership role in the New Nation, the economy has been thriving and no one has had to live in fear anymore. Safe to say, life for everyone has been much better because of it." Akame said before a young girl with short blue hair and eyes approached Akame with a smile on her face.

"Excuse me, you're Akame of Night Raid, aren't you?" The girl asked and Akame looked at the girl curiously before answering.

"Yes, I am, why do you ask?" Akame asked and the girl's smile widened.

"I thought so, my name's Shion and I'm a refugee from outside the Capitol. Two of your Night Raid friends saved me a few years ago when I was being assaulted by some thugs who were picking on me just because I was a refugee."

"Once I found out you guys were members of Night Raid, I've been behind you guys ever since to bring down the Empire and bring peace to the Capital for people like me. And ever since you guys took out the old regime, I've never been looked at as a refugee ever since. Nobody even cares about it anymore."

"So, I just wanted to come and personally say thank you, to you and your team. Not just for saving me years ago, but for making the Capitol a better place for people like me." Shion gratefully said and Akame was speechless while Naruto was just smiling. Shion shook Akame's hand and bowed to her thankfully before continuing on her way.

"I-I don't know what to say Naruto-kun. I'm so unused to things like this, we all are." Akame said, still in shock at what has just happened to her and Naruto just chuckled at her.

"I know Akame-chan. But don't worry, you'll get used to it soon. I know it shocked me for a while after we won the 4th War, but I eventually got used to it." Naruto said and Akame smiled at him before the two of them continued their march towards the newly renamed Palace of the Rising Dawn where they came face-to-face with Najenda and Lubbock, with Susanoo also sitting in on the meeting.

"So, things are as peaceful as can be in the New Nation, and thanks to our alliance with the Elemental Continents, no further wars have broken out since Honest was removed from power," Najenda said as she smoked one of her cigarettes while her remaining purple eye gleamed in thought.

"It's pretty amazing really, our alliance with the shinobi has been so beneficial to the rebuilding of the Empire that it's safe to say that they're just as responsible for the New Nation being in such good shape as it is now as we are, if not more," Lubbock admitted.

"In that case, I'd say keeping the Alliance intact would be in the best interest for both sides then," Naruto said.

"Definitely seems like the best course of action to take for now I'd say," Lubbock said with his hands crossed in front of him and Najenda clicked her lighter and re-lit her cigarette.

"Then we will continue the Alliance for now. It appears to be beneficial for both sides, so dissolving it would be foolish at this point." Najenda decided.

"Speaking of the Alliance, have you heard about the army from the Northern Lands that tried to invade the Capital. Apparently, from what I've heard they were wiped out before they could reach the Capitol." Susanoo said.

"You know, I've heard about that. And I've been wondering who was responsible for it." Akame said before Naruto and Najenda shared a knowing smile.

"Well, I think Najenda and I might have had a little something to do with that," Naruto said, and as if right on cue, the doors to the meeting room opened and in came Sasuke Uchiha along with (to Akame's surprise) Bols and Run.

"Bols, Run, what are you doing here?" Akame asked.

"They're now under the New Nation's payroll Akame. I've been sending them out along with Sasuke to combat anyone who even dares to try to come into the New Empire to cause chaos." Najenda explained and Bols and Run nodded along with Sasuke.

"The Northern Army appears to have been comprised of the last remnants of Esdeath's Army from the North, along with other warring nations from outside of the capitol. Apparently, they all formed an alliance of their own in an attempt to overthrow the New Nation and take control of the Capitol." Run explained making Najenda's eye harden in anger.

"Like hell, I'll be damned if I'll allow any remnants of Esdeath or anyone else associated with Honest to march into this Capitol." Najenda angrily said.

"I agree with you there, we managed to ambush them near the Northern Border and we took them out," Bols said.

"Hope those guys didn't give you much trouble Sasuke," Naruto said and Sasuke scoffed at the thought.

"Please, even you could have handled those so-called 'soldiers' single-handedly. Bols and Run handled most of the job on their own, I just covered them when they needed it. It was pretty boring really." Sasuke said and Run chuckled.

"Well, the important thing is the army from the Northern Lands has been compromised. That should shut down the invasion and also discourage anyone else who was contemplating." Run said.

"It was actually a lot easier than I figured it would be. With two Teigu users and a shinobi taking care of things, their army didn't stand a chance." Bols said.

"Too bad for them then. By the way Bols, how's Kije and Logue doing?" Naruto asked.

"Oh, they're as lovely as ever. They've actually been helping Najenda in the last two years in distributing food to those who need it here in the Capitol, so we're all pitching in to help in any way that we can." Bols said.

"Well, it's good to hear that you're all doing so well," Naruto said.

"Hey, I owe Night Raid my life for allowing me to live after all that I've done, so anything that I can do to make up for it, I'm more than willing to aid out in any way possible," Bols said before Najenda held up her mechanical hand at him.

"You've more than been forgiven for your past sins Bols. If anything, you were merely a victim of Honest's corruption and were only doing what you had to in order to protect your family, and for that, I can't fault you." Najenda said and Bols was floored by this before tears began forming in his eyes.

"Thank you, Najenda. I appreciate that." Bols said and everyone smiled at the former Jaeger as a big weight was finally taken off his shoulders.

~Later, back at Night Raid's hideout~

Naruto and Akame were walking through the forest together, with both of them carrying large fishing baskets on their backs. Akame had decided to catch some fish for dinner and Naruto was willing to help her catch them. Akame, more than willing to accept help, agreed.

"So Akame-chan, do you often go fishing for dinner?" Naruto asked his girlfriend.

"It depends, Naruto-kun. Depending on what I have a taste for, I'll either go hunting or fishing for dinner." Akame told him before they came to a stop at a massive lake with a stream of waterfalls flowing into it.

"Wow, this is a beautiful spot," Naruto said and Akame nodded before loosening her red tie.

"This is the spot where we'll be catching the fish for dinner," Akame said as she removed her tie and Naruto turned around just as Akame was lifting her shirt to partially expose the underside of her breasts.

The flustered Naruto backed away and fell onto his rear as Akame's skirt fell off of her and he quickly covered his face with his arm and closed his eyes while blushing furiously as Akame stepped out of her skirt.

"What seems to be the problem Naruto-kun?" Akame's voice said and Naruto looked up to see Akame smiling in amusement while wearing a white two-piece bikini and Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank Kami, you were wearing a swimsuit," Naruto said and Akame just shook her head at how he sounded just like Tatsumi before walking past him to the lake.

"Our target is Koga tuna, let's see how many you can get Naruto-kun." Akame challenged and Naruto raised an eye at her.

"Aren't those things supposed to be…" Naruto began.

"Extremely rare and stupidly hard to get a hold of." Akame finished with a nostalgic smile on her face and Naruto looked stunned.

"Yeah, how'd you know I was gonna say that," Naruto said and Akame just grinned.

"Because you and Tatsumi are virtually like brothers that's why." Akame laughed before diving into the lake. Moments later, several Koga tuna came flying out of the lake to the shock of Naruto.

"Wha…what the!" Naruto said in shock as the fish landed in Akame's basket before Akame herself resurfaced.

"It's not that hard Naruto-kun. First, you have to swim all the way down to the bottom, then conceal your aura and make your attack. You have to act very quickly though. Come on and give it a try." Akame said and Naruto smiled optimistically before tearing off his shirt.

"Let's do this!" Naruto said.

~At dinner that night~

"Hahaha, wow Naruto! To think that the badass war hero could only catch two whole fish when it came down to it. Talk about coming up short-handed." Mine ribbed as she and everyone sat down to enjoy dinner that night.

"Shut up Mine!" Naruto angrily spat.

"Ooh, someone's in a touchy mood. What's wrong, your good mood slipped away faster than those fish slipped out of your hands." Chelsea snarked and Mine laughed along with her while she fed her daughter Kaida.

"Hey, those damn fish were slippery! I could barely keep a hold of the damn things! Let's see you try it why don't you!" Naruto complained.

"I heard from Akame you tore off your shirt like some badass and said some shit like 'let's do this.' Sound familiar to you Tatsumi?" Leone smirked, and all of Night Raid just grinned at Tatsumi who shook his head and grinned as well.

"At this point, I'm not even surprised," Tatsumi said, obviously referring to how similar he and Naruto were and all of Night Raid shared a laugh at that, realizing how well Naruto would have fit right in with Night Raid had he joined when Tatsumi did.

"Well, at least I had a feeling that might happen again, and so I decided to catch a few extra fish this time," Akame said.

"Good thing too. Oh Akame, I have something for you." Sheele said and this caught Akame's attention.

"What is it Sheele?" Akame asked and Sheele shrugged before pulling out a letter and handing it to Akame.

"I don't know yet, Boss sent that letter the other day and said you might want to read it. Says it's something you might want to see." Sheele said and Akame, like everyone else, wondered who could have given Najenda a message for Akame.

Deciding to see what this was all about, Akame opened the letter and began to read. As she read the letter, a solemn expression appeared on her face and her teammates and Naruto could tell that whatever was in the letter was something serious.

"Who's it from Akame?" Tatsumi asked and Akame looked at her teammates and sighed.

"Kurome, this is the first time I've heard from her in two years," Akame said and all of her teammates understood why Akame was less than thrilled about this. They'd heard from Akame what had happened during her and Kurome's fight during the raid on the Capitol and knew that the sisters were on, shall we say, "tense terms."

"What does she want Akame?" Leone asked.

"See for yourself," Akame said as she placed the note down on the table for all to read. Everyone including Naruto read Kurome's note carefully.

Akame-nee,

I know I'm probably the last person you want to talk to right now, and if you want to incinerate this message and never respond to me again, I totally understand. But these last two years have been HELL for me Akame-nee.

Every night for the last two years, I've been forced to relive the absolute nightmare of our last encounter time and time again. And every day, it's eaten away at my heart and at my conscience what I did that day. I don't want to let what happened between us that day be the last thing that was ever said between us as sisters.

I know you've got no reason to trust me at all. And as I said before, if you want to incinerate this message and never respond to me again…I understand. But I'm PLEADING with you to give me a chance to meet me back at Gyou Forest with Naruto to right the greatest wrong of my life. Please Akame-nee!

Kurome

Everyone finished reading Kurome's letter and most like Leone, Mine, Sheele, and Chelsea were skeptical. While on the other hand, Tatsumi and Naruto could see the desperation in the letter for what it was, and they knew that Kurome was sincere.

"I don't trust this Akame. Kurome's already tried to kill you once, who's to say she won't try it again." Chelsea skeptically said.

"I second Chelsea on that notion. I don't think you should go Akame." Mine said point blank.

"Unfortunately, I agree. It's too dangerous going off on your own to see someone who, as Chelsea pointed out has already tried to kill you once. Besides that, I just don't trust Kurome." Sheele said.

"Yeah, I don't buy this letter for a second. This has 'trap' written all over it." Leone agreed, and Naruto just stared at the four of them with hardened eyes.

"Is that right? Well allow someone who actually knows how to read people break this to you, this isn't fake in the least! Kurome in this letter is clearly desperate and in need of help, and it's not just now that I'm seeing that."

"I saw that the moment she walked off that battlefield after our battle two years ago. I saw the look in her eyes, and let me tell you, that wasn't something you can fake. It was genuine remorse for what she'd done."

"It's a look I've only seen one other time, and that was in Sasuke's eyes after I snapped him out of his sense of hatred. Only in Kurome's case, the pain was MUCH worse in her eyes. It was a pain to the point of being almost broken."

"Which is the point that I fear that Kurome is at right now. And that's why I'm afraid if you don't go and help your sister right now, Kurome is going to do something to herself she's going to regret." Naruto said and Akame's eyes widened in shock and fear at the thought of losing her sister and the rest of Night Raid was stunned at Naruto's analysis.

"Then we better get to Gyou Forest and fast. We can't let Kurome hurt herself or you any more than she already has." Tatsumi said and that caught Akame's attention.

"Wait, we?" Akame said.

"Yeah, someone's gotta be there in case shit goes down. That's why we're all coming with you." Leone said and Akame lowered her head and tears fell from her eyes.

"Thank you, everyone," Akame said before drying her eyes and picking up Murasame.

"Alright everyone, to Gyou Forest!" Akame said and everyone prepared to head out.

~Nightfall, Gyou Forest~

Two cloaked figures, one taller than the other stepped out from the woods of Gyou Forest and looked around at the area, where the scars of a great battle could still be seen. The two cloaked figures looked at each other before removing their hoods.

The two figures were revealed to be Wave and Kurome. Kurome looked as though she has truly been suffering the past two years. She looked noticeably thinner, meaning she hadn't been eating much. She had a haggard look in her eyes, making it clear she hadn't gotten much sleep from the nightmares she'd been having. All-in-all, not a great time to be Kurome.

As Kurome looked out over the battlefield, the memories of two years ago came flooding back to her mind and she began crying for the umpteenth time. Wave, who knew what Kurome was going through and was the only person other than Run that was there to support her through it, simply held Kurome close to him as she cried.

"Do you think she'll come, Wave?" Kurome asked, knowing she'd be devastated if she didn't.

"For your sake Kurome, I'm praying that she does." Wave said and just as he said that Night Raid along with little Kaida (who was with Mine) and Naruto teleported into the area via Naruto's Hiraishin Kunai, much to Kurome's shock, who honestly did not expect her sister to come.

"She's here," Kurome said as she went out to face her sister along with Wave. When Leone, Chelsea, Sheele, and Mine saw the condition Kurome was in, they grimaced and turned to Naruto.

"Damn, you were right, she is fucked all the way up." Leone said as she observed Kurome's compromised state.

"I hate to say I told you so," Naruto said as he sadly realized that Kurome may have looked even worse than she did before he healed her from the body enhancing drugs.

"What have you been doing to yourself Kurome?" Akame asked, feeling upset at her sister for regressing back into compromised health after all that Naruto had done to heal her.

"I would have thought my letter made that obvious Akame-nee, this is the price I've been paying for my sins from two years ago. Ever since that day, I've been haunted by nightmares of what I did here two years ago."

"The things I said, almost throwing away my life, trying to kill you, every single time I close my eyes that's all I ever see. The nightmares have driven me insane to point where now I can barely even eat or sleep. I just can't take it anymore!"

"I feel like the only way I'll ever get past what I did and find redemption, is to go back to square one. That's why I wanted you and Naruto to meet me here, I want to finish what we started."

"Only this time no deathmatch, just three people settling their issues once and for all, with one side fighting for redemption and the other fighting for retribution," Kurome explained and while Kurome's reasoning was sound enough, there was still one slight detail that stuck out for the members of Night Raid and Naruto that Akame was the first one to voice.

"Aren't you forgetting something important Kurome? Yatsufusa was destroyed when Naruto healed you two years ago, you don't even have a sword to duel with." Akame said and Kurome smiled at her sister.

"Who said anything about me not having a sword," Kurome said as she removed her cloak to reveal a familiar looking blade at her side.

"How the…!" Chelsea said in disbelief as she couldn't believe the blade that now sat at Kurome's hip

"Is that…!" Mine said dumbfounded as to how Kurome had gotten a hold of that sword.

"Kousetsu." Leone said, also surprised that Kurome was now in possession of Izou's former weapon.

"I thought that Najenda or someone in the New Nation had possession of that blade. How did you get a hold of it?" Tatsumi asked the million gold question.

"Actually, I found this in the hands of a merchant not too long ago. Said he found it just laying around after the raid on the Capitol and decided to take it." Kurome said and Night Raid could detect no trace of a lie and they turned to Wave, who nodded and confirmed Kurome's story.

"That blade is safe right?" Sheele asked, knowing how bloodthirsty Izou was and how he treated Kousetsu like it was a living entity.

"Yeah, I checked it. Turns out, it's actually just a regular katana. A very well-made one at that, but still just a regular one. Izou must have been schizophrenic or something." Kuorme said and Akame nodded and drew Murasame.

"Very well, I accept your challenge," Akame said as she took up a sword stance.

"Hang on, if Kurome's gonna be fighting, I want you at your best when you fight," Naruto said and Kurome waved him off.

"Don't worry about it, I'll be fine. Now come on, let's go." Kurome said and Naruto shook his head.

"No, the fight won't have any meaning if I beat you at less than one hundred percent," Naruto said and Kurome glared at him.

"Then the fight would have even less meaning to me then. Or did you forget that I fought both of you with a body completely compromised by the Empire's drugs and still pushed both of you past your limits?"

"There's a reason I want to fight you at less than one hundred percent, because I fought you that way when this thing started, and that's how I'm going to fight you when this thing ends." Kurome emphatically said and everyone was stunned by Kurome's passionate declaration and Naruto and Akame smiled before looking to each other and nodding.

"Very well, we'll fight you as you are then. Give us everything you have Kurome, don't hold back." Naruto said as he stood alongside Akame and drew his mother's blade and activated his Eternal Rinnegan. Kurome drew Kousetsu and took up a fighting stance before closing her eyes.

"Hospital for Souls" by Bring Me The Horizon begins playing

"This is it, I just need the strength to make it through this one last battle. This is something I have to do, I've hurt Akame-nee so much with what I've done. I may never forgive myself for the things I've done to her." Kurome thought to herself as tears began falling from her eyes.

"But none of that matters now, I have a chance to make things right. So this is it, here and now! One last time give me the strength to face off with Akame-nee and fix the biggest mistake of my life! The mistake of not trusting Akame-nee!" Kurome thought as she opened her eyes and shot at Akame and Naruto with speed that surprised everyone.

Kurome sped forward and locked blades with Akame and Naruto and began pressing them. Caught off guard by Kurome's speed even in her compromised health Akame began to be pushed back by Kurome while Naruto was able to fight on even level with Kurome due to his natural speed.

Kousetsu clashed with graceful precision against both Murasame and Naruto's blade, showing a poise with the blade that Izou had never shown with it. Kurome continued to force the issue with a series of aggressive swings of her blade that the two managed to block before she kicked Naruto out of the way.

Kurome clashed blades with Akame with their blades moving like flashes to the untrained eye. Akame launched a flurry of slashes at Kurome before going for a low slash at Kurome's legs. Kurome blocked the slashes before swiftly leaping over the low slash.

She then responded by feinting a slash at Akame's head with Kousetsu before going for a low slash and then back up for a head slash. Akame didn't bite on the feint and was able to block the low slash with Murasame and then quickly come right back up to block the high slash.

Naruto, having recovered then rushed in and he and Akame once again began a two-on-one attack on Kurome. Sparks flew, and blades flashed quicker than the eye could see as Naruto, Akame, and Kurome matched one another move for move.

"How the hell is Kurome doing this?! In her state of health, it should be impossible to keep up with just one of them, let alone two." Leone said in disbelief as she and the rest of Night Raid watched in shock as Kurome continued to defy all medical logic.

"It's pure will and desire. Kurome unbreakable will and her sheer desire to fix what she sees is her greatest wrong is the only thing driving her right now." Wave said with a smile on his face, stunning Night Raid as they realized watching the battle that Wave was right, and suddenly they couldn't help but find themselves silently cheering Kurome on.

Meanwhile, Kaida watched the duel with fascinated eyes, as the shinobi she'd only seen a few times and "Aunt Akame" as she knew her moved at speeds, she'd never seen anyone move at before, even her own parents. And she looked on in awe wondering how it would play out.

All three combatants separated for a moment and both sides looked to each other and smiled before giving each other a simple nod, knowing what the other had in mind. Kurome shot at Akame and began clashing blades with her sister once more. Akame deflected the slashes before launching an offensive series of her own that Kurome managed to block before dazing her sister with an elbow.

Kurome looked to follow up on her attack on the dazed Akame and shot forward but was knocked off-line by Naruto. Kurome and Naruto smiled at each other before she rushed in after Naruto and began clashing blades with the blonde sage. While Kurome's speed even in her compromised state was still impressive, she was still having a hard time keeping up with Naruto's speed.

Kurome kicked Naruto back to gain separation before speeding after him and Akame sprang into action. Naruto blocked several of Kousetsu's swings and swung at Kurome's legs before Kurome leapt up and over Naruto and swung her blade at Naruto back instead of at his head, where it was blocked by Akame.

Kurome blocked a sword slash from Akame before catching Akame with a fist that dazed her and sent her back a bit before Naruto came forward with a series of sword swings that Kurome deflected before Naruto sent her flying with Shinra Tensei and both Akame and Naruto sped after her. Just as she landed, she blocked a low slash from Akame, but was caught by a high kick by Naruto that only knocked her back a bit instead of hurting her.

"Just like old times," Naruto said with a smile and Akame and Kurome smiled along with him before both sides shot at each other once again.

Akame, Kurome, and Naruto swung their blades at each other and their blades connected before they swung and missed each other twice before clashing blades again with even more force knocking each other back from the force of their blades colliding.

All three of them quickly recovered before rushing at each other one last time with a great cry and charged each other with their blades ready to strike. Everyone watching looked on in horror as is looked like Akame, Naruto, and Kurome were going for a killing blow.

But just at the last second, all three of them swung upwards with their weapons and their blades connected at the same time. The impact of the collision shattered Kousetsu's blade, leaving Kurome weaponless. Akame and Naruto angled their weapons at Kurome, who smiled at the two of them and held up her hands in defeat. Akame and Naruto smiled at her before lowering their weapons.

"That's how it should have ended," Kurome said as she looked at the shattered remains of Kousetsu.

"Just think of how different things could have been," Akame said before the sisters looked at each other and smiled before they moved to embrace each other for the first time in years, to the joy of everyone watching.

"Akame-nee, I'm so sorry I caused you so much trouble," Kurome said and Akame just shook her head.

"Don't say things like that Kurome. Haven't we been through so much together? Even as part of the Empire, we've been through more hard times than most and yet we've always been sisters." Akame said and her words touched Kurome who looked up at her sister.

"Akame-nee, just how different could things have been had we stayed together?" Kurome said and Akame sadly looked at her sister.

"You have no idea how many times I've asked myself that same question. What if I had just taken you with me. What if I had never left you in the first place. How different could things have been between us?" Akame confessed and Kurome sighed before giving her sister a consoling smile.

"We may never know that for sure, but what we do know is this: things may not have worked out the way we both wanted, but it all worked out just fine in the end. The Empire is gone, we're back together now, and I'm back to what I used to be." Kurome said and Akame smiled at how right Kurome was.

"Actually, not yet you are, hold still," Naruto said before he entered Six Paths Sage Mode and placed his hand on Kurome's head. He began sending healing chakra into Kurome's body, revitalizing every cell in her fatigued body until Kurome was as good as new and Naruto took his hand off her head, satisfied with his work.

"How he does it I'll never know." Leone said with an amused shake of her head that all of her Night Raid teammates mimicked.

"You can say that again. I'm starting to see why Akame-nee likes you so much Naruto." Kurome said and Akame and Naruto blushed about as bright red as Chelsea's hair.

"Kurome, not you too!" Akame shouted and all of Akame's teammates got a kick out of her own sister teasing her about her relationship with the blonde Sage and even Wave had to stifle a laugh.

"Anyway, take care of yourself Akame-nee. Wave and I are going to retire to the seaside of the Capitol and live there. You're more than welcome to stop by anytime if you'd like. I'd look forward to seeing you." Kurome said and Akame nodded her head.

"I'll have to take you up on that offer then," Akame said as she hugged her sister one last time before Wave and Kurome began to part.

"Hey Naruto, take care of Akame-nee alright. Don't give me a reason to have to come back and kill you alright." Kurome half-kidded making Akame's teammates snicker as Akame and Naruto did their best to look away from one another with blushes on their faces.

"Well, this was one ending that I can get behind." Leone said putting her arms around her teammates and Naruto who all smiled as they watched Wave and Kurome walk away.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Come on everyone, let's go home." Akame said before Naruto teleported them back to Night Raid's hideout for the night.

~The Next Day~

Everyone was enjoying some fun by the water after finally having some down time from everything that had been going on lately. Tatsumi sat on a lawn chair with Naruto standing next to him and Kaida in Tatsumi's lap while they watched Chelsea and Leone splash around in the water.

Naruto was wearing his orange swim trunks with black flames while Tatsumi wore his usual plain blue trunks. Kaida wore a pink and black bathing suit similar to the one worn by her mother.

"Man, it's good to finally have some free time don't you think Naruto?" Tatsumi said and Naruto nodded.

"It's good to unwind every now and then Tatsumi. You don't want to run yourself crazy all the time." Naruto said.

"Pft, so for you, does that mean running yourself crazy away from Mine, or running yourself crazy towards Akame?" Tatsumi joked, obviously referring to him running away from Mine the other day and his lovestruck relationship with Akame.

"What did you just say jackass!" Naruto said as he turned his angry eyes to Tatsumi.

"You heard me!" Tatsumi responded as he glared back with no fear in his eyes.

"You wanna go right now, dragon boy?!" Naruto angrily said.

"Oh, bring it on, fox face!" Tatsumi shot back as he stood up and set Kaida aside and the two were about ready to exchange fists until a voice stopped them both.

"Hey, Naruto-kun." Leone said and both Tatsumi and Naruto looked to see Leone and Chelsea grinning at them.

"We'd like your opinion on something, do you like my swimsuit or Chelsea's better?" Leone sweetly said with a sly smile on her face.

"Oh, careful how you answer that," Chelsea said with a similar sly smile and Naruto began nervously sweating as the girls moved closer to him while Tatsumi just inwardly laughed at how familiar this looked to him.

Both girls swimsuits were amazingly hot. Leone had on a two-piece yellow and orange vertically striped bikini, while Chelsea had on a two piece light blue bikini with white outlines and frills on the legs and the cups of the breasts. Naruto swallowed a lump in his throat, as he knew that if he said the wrong thing, it could lead to a VERY painful situation.

"So, which is it?" Chelsea said as they leaned in closer to him and their breasts bounced a bit as they did, making him blush deeply.

"Um…let's see…I um…" Naruto stammered, thinking of something to say before thankfully a distraction appeared.

"Oh look, Sheele and Mine there you are, what took you guys so long. We've been waiting all day for you." Naruto said in an exaggeratedly excited tone as Sheele and Mine appeared on the beach.

Sheele was wearing a two-piece purple string bikini with black trimmings and Mine was wearing her usual pink two piece with a flower motif. As soon as Kaida saw her favorite Aunt Sheele, she crawled over to her and the violet-haired assassin scooped her up and lovingly pecked her on the cheek.

"Oh, he dodged the question. I told you he would dodge it, Chelsea." Leone said as she turned to Chelsea and Chelsea just shook her head and grinned.

"Boy, you and Tatsumi have so much in common. Biggest of all though, is that neither of you has any balls." Chelsea smirked and Leone and Mine almost died laughing with Sheele also stifling a chuckle at her friends. Meanwhile, Naruto and Tatsumi were both steaming at Chelsea's insult and Tatsumi wasn't going to take it lying down from someone he was married to.

"Oh, I beg to differ Chelsea. I think you and Mine should know better than anyone from experience that I have a set." Tatsumi shot back with a smirk and Leone gasped at Tatsumi's boldness before she lost it laughing again as Chelsea and Mine had thoroughly shut up and were blushing a brighter shade of red than Akame's eyes.

Sheele on the other hand embarrassedly blushed at what Tatsumi had just said while Naruto, for his part had a triumphant smirk on his face at Tatsumi putting his wives in their place. However, his victory would be short-lived at Mine and Chelsea growled in anger at being embarrassed by Tatsumi and began making a beeline for their husband to teach him some respect.

"Why you!" Chelsea and Mine both said before they both ran at Tatsumi who ran into the water to get away from his wives who quickly caught him and tackled him and all three fell into the water.

"Are you three all right?" Sheele said as she ran up to check on them with Kaida in hand and blushed at the compromising position they were in. Tatsumi was on his back in the water while Chelsea was straddling his neck and Mine was sitting over his crotch. The three lovers took note of their position and blushed hotly. Naruto, like a shark smelling blood, went in for the kill.

"So, are you three gonna put that position to good use or what?" Naruto said and that was the straw that broke the camel's back for Leone. The next moment, Leone was literally on the ground, rolling with laughter from Naruto's wisecrack at her comrade's compromising position, while Sheele flusterdly blushed for her teammate's sake.

Tatsumi, Chelsea, and Mine couldn't get off of each other fast enough as they stood up sporting full-body blushes and trying their hardest to look as far away from each other as possible while Naruto had the smuggest smirk he'd ever had in his life on his face.

"Revenge is so sweet." Naruto thought to himself, but little did he know that revenge had a funny way of coming back to bite you right in the ass.

"Naruto-kun?" he heard someone say and he looked over and was stunned at what he saw.

"Akame-chan?" he said. Sure enough, his girlfriend Akame had just walked onto the beach and she looked absolutely ravishing.

She was wearing a two-piece red bikini with ruffles on it that perfectly highlighted her gorgeous figure and her generous curves. Naruto had seen Akame in a swimsuit before, but he couldn't help but blush at how attractive she looked now.

Akame felt the same way about him. She had seen him shirtless before, but this was the first time she'd really gotten a good look at his physique and her eyes glazed over at how ripped he was, and a blush appeared on her face as well.

Everyone watched as Naruto and Akame stared each other down with lovestruck eyes and smirks appeared on everyone's faces. Especially Tatsumi, Chelsea, and Mine, who decided that a little payback of their own was in order for the humiliation they'd just suffered at Naruto's hands.

"So, since you're both so into each other how about you guys just skip the swimming right now and just head straight on over to the bedroom, what do you say?" Chelsea said and Akame and Naruto couldn't blush any harder as her comrades laughed at Chelsea's always sharp sense of humor.

"CHELSEA!" Akame and Naruto indignantly said, and Chelsea continued to laugh her ass of at making fun of her boss's relationship.

"Payback's a bitch Naruto." Chelsea laughed.

"Yeah and so are you." Naruto thought to himself with a growl before a smirk crossed his lips and he formed a hand sign.

Chelsea was so busy laughing her ass off, that she didn't see a jet of water form from the lake and hit her right in the face, knocking her back into the water and causing Mine, Tatsumi and Leone to nearly lose their breath laughing at her.

"Hahaha, nice spill Chelsea!" Mine teased while cracking up with Tatsumi and Leone and Chelsea resurfaced and looked up at her hysterical teammates irritably before she got an evil smirk on her face and sank back down into the water.

"What's wrong Chelsea can't take a little teasing." Mine ribbed and she continued to laugh before Chelsea sprang up behind her and pushed her under the water before unleashing a mouthful of water at Tatsumi that hit him dead in the face. She then got up and grabbed both Naruto and Leone's arms and literally threw them both into the water with a splash.

"Hahaha, that'll teach you to pick on me why don't you," Chelsea said and Sheele just grinned from the shore as all of her teammates and Naruto emerged from the water with annoyed looks on their faces.

"Oh, it's on now Chelsea." They all said. And so began the biggest water fight in the history of the New Nation. It was the most fun that the members of Night Raid had ever had in their lives and for the first time in their lives, they truly felt happy.

~Hours Later~

"That was so much fun Akame-chan." Naruto laughed as he and Akame entered the hideout with Akame's arm wrapped around his.

"I know Naruto-kun, I've never had so much fun before. It's truly the happiest time we've ever had here in Night Raid. Thank you Naruto-kun." Akame said.

"Hey, it was no big deal. I'm more than happy to share a few laughs with you guys." Naruto said and Akame just shook her head.

"Not just for the laughs Naruto-kun, but for everything you've done. Kurome, the Empire, you've truly made such a difference in not just my life, but all our lives. I guess what I'm trying to say is…" Akame said, but she hesitated, and Naruto smiled at her and framed her face before kissing her.

Akame closed her eyes in bliss as she kissed the man she had fallen so deeply in love with while placing her delicate hands on his face to stroke his cheeks. The two continued to kiss until breaking for air and Akame took his hands into hers and led him down the hall until they came to a room that Naruto correctly guessed belonged to her and ushered him inside before closing the door.

Naruto and Akame embraced once again with Akame pulling his face close to hers while he wrapped his arms around her small waist of 56 and their lips met once again while both of their eyes shut in bliss from their lips meeting once again.

As the two of them kissed and made out, Naruto leaned in closer to Akame and her ample breasts squished against his strong chest and Akame shivered and she could feel her nipples begin to harden through her swimsuit. As her bosom pressed against his chest and her hands glided across his muscular back, both lover's moans filled the room as their tongues licked into each other's mouth's.

Naruto and Akame slobbered and tasted each other's tongues and Naruto's hands began skimming up Akame's side's while her hands continued feeling up his backside until they broke the kiss and Akame began sliding his trunks off of him until they fell to the floor. Akame blushed heavily at his size, having not expected him to be as big as he was.

"Oh my God," Akame said, blushing atomic red at his impressive size and Naruto just chuckled at the red-eyed assassin's reaction to his manhood. Kissing Akame again, they moved to Akame's bed and she sat in his bare lap facing him as he began groping her breasts through her bikini top.

Naruto nuzzled the tender nape of Akame's neck until his nuzzling became teasing licks that made Akame moan with delight while her eyes fell onto his growth. Naruto's hands came to the bottom of Akame's bikini top and he undid the string on the top, loosening it and it fell off of her exposing her ample breasts of 81 to him.

She set her bikini top to the side and kissed him once again while Naruto palmed Akame's chest and began to fondle the pliable orbs. The dark-haired swordswoman moaned from his gentle caresses while she licked his tongue and the softness of her breasts in his hands caused his manhood to twitch before she reached out and took ahold of it.

She was fascinated by the intense heat she felt radiating off his now swollen length before she began stroking him and he felt his fingers grip her nipples as the rest of them continued groping her ample flesh. Thanks to the blonde sage's tonguing and squeezing of her tits, Akame soon felt her loins burning with desire for Naruto as he continued to tease her and soon Naruto's pre-cum began running down Akame's fingers.

They soon rearranged themselves to where Akame was out of Naruto's lap where he could still play with her chest and she was able to stroke his cock. Freeing her tits, Naruto slowly licked them in circular motions causing her moans to escalate to lustful volumes that were music to his ears and she held his head against her bosom.

He kissed her nearest orb before opening his mouth and planting his jaws on her tits. Akame mewled as Naruto gently gnawed at her breast and he noticed her legs quaking in arousal and smirked. He took one hand off her breast and slid it down her town abdomen into her bikini bottom, which by now was soaked from how aroused she had become, and he began tracing his fingers onto her folds.

Removing his hand, Naruto marveled at how much of her wetness was gathered on his fingers and he moved back before taking his mouth of Akame's breast. She watched as he slid off her bikini bottom leaving her as bare as he was and Akame's blush deepened at being exposed like this.

"Don't stare at me like that Naruto-kun. I-it's embarrassing." Akame said as she looked away from him with a deep blush on her face and Naruto chuckled at how the bold and fearless assassin was so shy when it came to something like this.

With that thought in mind, Naruto moved back to face her entrance before carefully spreading her folds. His tongue infiltrated her pussy and began slithering against her inner caverns and Akame moaned in ecstasy, her cries spurring him on and urging him to continue.

Naruto's finger's wagged and wriggled on her clit as he wagged his tongue around inside of her and tasted her orgasmic fluids, savoring the taste of her as he did. Naruto's tongue ventured deep into Akame's caverns and slobbered on her aroused innards.

Akame couldn't believe what was happening to her. She had never felt pure euphoric pleasure like this before and an uncharacteristic lusty smile appeared on her face as a result. Consumed by the pleasure coursing through her body like fire and wanting more, Akame gripped her breasts and began rubbing them against one another while Naruto licked into her wetness.

Akame's red eyes glistened with lust as she felt her clit and folds being teased by his magic fingers while his tongue wormed and swayed inside of her walls, causing her legs to cringe in pleasure from his teasing. Naruto's hands slid under Akame's rear end and lifted her lower body off the bed while she freed her chest to grip his spiky blonde locks.

She kept her fingers buried in his hair and held his head to her womanhood as Naruto licked her pussy and managed to keep her lower body off the bed. His manhood throbbed as he licked into her warmth and her eyes squeezed shut as her moans reached an uncharacteristically lewd level.

Naruto removed his tongue and entered his index fingers into her tightness before he began to thrust them into her and he was amazed by how tight she felt. He soon ceased his thrusting to begin licking her folds once again and Akame lustfully smiled at the effect all of his teasing was having on her and her lust-riddled grin only grew as she felt herself nearing her release.

The dark-haired woman's red eyes glistened with lust as Naruto's tongue continued to work it's magic on her caverns while his fingers groped at her peach. He moaned while slobbering and tasting her inner walls until she gave a final howl of pleasure as her orgasmic fluids burst out of her wetness and onto his tongue.

Naruto eagerly licked up her release and gently set her down once he was finished. She panted and looked up at him with eyes full of desire as her eyes fell on his literally throbbing manhood. She licked her lips and began crawling forward in anticipation.

"Akame-chan?" Naruto asked, seeing the hungry look in her eyes before she gripped his erection. Akame focused on his swollen pride and began pulling on his hardness.

With his cock already being highly aroused and Akame's light touch, he started moaning lowly and she smiled at this as her instincts told her that she was doing the right thing as she stroked his erection. Following another hunch, she moved in closer to lick at the center of it while wrapping her fingers around it and placing her thumb underneath the head of it.

Akame pressed against the spot while pumping and stroking it. She licked his shaft while palming his testicles with her free hand and bounced them about in her hands. Naruto moaned as Akame's tongue slid across his manhood and she toyed with his testicles before she slowly blew on his erection.

He groaned as her cool breath hit his wet throbbing manhood and Akame smiled at his reaction as she began licking the sides of his shaft. Soon an idea clicked into her head as she pulled back and stood on her knees and squeezed her breasts together on his manhood. Naruto shivered in pleasure as Akame rubbed and kneaded her large mounds on his hilt.

She began swirling her tongue around the head of Naruto's hardness and licked his emerging foreskin as she stroked her breasts together on his member. This motivated Naruto to begin thrusting his hardness into Akame's tits and she held her jiggling bosom on his pride before planting his mouth on the tip.

The Hokage moaned as the leader of Night Raid massaged his throbbing cock with her ample orbs while sucking on his length. She moaned as she pumped her mouth on him as he drove his member into it. She licked his erection and kept her breasts constricted around his member and she felt his member twitch signaling that he was close to the end of his rope.

Akame sensed this and took her mouth off of him and slowly blew on his erection and stirred her tongue on his cock before returning to sucking him off while stroking him with her tits. Her timing proved to be perfect as Naruto groaned one final time and his cum splattered on the inside of Akame's mouth, to the point that her eyes widened at how much of it there was.

Despite this, she managed to get it all down without any trouble thanks to all of the times she'd spent scarfing down meat. Both parties breathed heavily from what they'd just experienced and as they looked into each other's eyes, they could tell that they both wanted more.

Both having the same thing in mind, Akame lay back on the bed and held out her hand to him in an inviting manner. Naruto crouched down and planted his hands on either side of her while his member was in front of her entrance. Akame sweated nervously at what was about to happen and Naruto rested his forehead against hers and gazed deeply into her eyes.

Gazing into his sapphire spheres and seeing the caring and reassuring look he'd always had in moments like this was enough to calm her nerves. Now knowing that Akame was okay, he slowly eased his member into her folds and broke her barrier along the way.

Her blush increased at his size and she loudly howled at the loss of her virginity. Once he was fully within Akame, she smiled at him and nuzzled him as a signal to thrust into her pussy while she began bucking and shaking her hips. She caressed his whiskers as he rammed his member into her hot walls and he caressed her breasts with his thumbs brushing onto her tits.

Naruto and Akame rested their foreheads against one another and bright ocean-colored eyes gazed into ruby-colored hues as he shot his manhood into her core while he squeezed and played with her quaking breasts and her walls of flesh grinded his thrusts as she worked her hips of 83 against his.

Akame virtually screamed with pleasure and her eyes watered as tears of ecstasy formed in her eyes and she wrapped her arms around his neck with her legs wrapping around his waist allowing him to pound deeper into her tight caverns. His cock shot into her wetness and pounded against her innards with great force.

Akame moaned and held onto Naruto as he thrashed his member inside of her walls while his palms continued squeezing and fondling her heaving breasts as sweat drizzled down his forehead. His sweat mixed with Akame's and he felt her nails beginning to dig into his back while her toes curled, and her eyes started to roll back from her deep state of ecstasy.

The look of pure ecstasy on Akame's face turned Naruto on more than he was expecting, and he kissed her once again and he started licking tongues with her once again as he pounded and thrashed his manhood into her core. Their tongues licked and rubbed against one another and Naruto's fingers massaged the beautiful red-eyed assassin's mounds.

A muffled squeal came from Akame as Naruto began squeezing and pulling and tweaking her bobbing tits. Sweat rained off the pair onto the bed and Akame placed her hands on his face and began caressing his cheeks affectionately as Naruto's cock lunged forward into her tightening insides and he released her breasts to frame her face and deepen their kiss.

They caressed one another while their eyes shut from the pleasure, and Naruto moaned into the kiss as his cock throbbed inside of her tightening walls. Her breasts flattened against his muscular chest and she stroked his whiskers as his member rammed into her core while their tongues clashed in a lustful duet of passion with Naruto's tongue coming out on top.

Akame grinded Naruto's cannon as it shot forward into her walls and he moaned as she became tighter on his ever-expanding growth. Her blush grew in size and their lips stayed together as his hips continued to grind in tune with hers and his member raged into her grinding tightness and it twitched within her pussy.

Naruto's member thundered into her warmth and both lovers moaned into their shared kiss until a louder squeal was heard from Akame as her walls finally coiled around his member. The blonde sage's semen splashed into her womb and flooded her insides while half of it poured onto the bed.

Her eyes opened once again, and they shimmered with lust as her juices blended with his seeds while flowing from her entrance. Their kiss came to an end just as their orgasm did and they heavily panted as Akame removed his hardness and rested against him for the time being.

"You're just one surprise after another aren't you Naruto-kun?" Akame breathlessly said and Naruto chucked at her.

"They don't call me The Show-Off, Number One Unpredictable, Noisy Ninja for nothing you know." Naruto bragged and Akame just grinned at the funny nickname.

"Well 'Show-Off,' I hope you're not done just, yet are you?" Akame challenged him and Naruto chuckled again before placing Akame on her front and she balanced herself on all fours before he placed his hands on her rear cheeks and returned his erection to her tunnels.

Akame shivered in joy from this before he began shooting his length into her moist tunnels while her breasts swung forward. The sound of flesh colliding against one another sounded throughout the room as Akame's rear smacked into Naruto's crotch and she tightly held onto the sheets.

Sweat rained down both lover's bodies as he slammed his manhood into her core and her red eyes continued to glow with lust. Naruto moaned at Akame's increasing tightness before he placed his chest over her back and cupped her jiggling bosom and began caressing her ample chest while never slowing his pace for a second.

She turned her head to him and pressed her lips against his and blue and red eyes gazed lustfully into each other as Naruto as he pummeled his manhood forward into her warmth and it rubbed against her walls. He rubbed his tongue against hers and both opened their mouths and slid their tongues into each other's mouths while he licked the roof of her mouth.

Meanwhile, she licked the underside of his tongue and both moaned into the kiss as Naruto caressed and squeezed her breasts together and buried his fingers within her jiggling orbs while excessively groping them. Akame blushed wildly and her mind became blank with pleasure once again as she fell onto her front and Naruto decided to grip her waist instead.

Her eyes closed tightly as her breasts bobbed against the bed while Naruto shot his hips forward and slammed his manhood into her core. Akame's lusty smile returned to her face as her lover jerked his cannon into her wetness and his impacts reached deeply into her core.

The sweat-drenched shinobi's erection thundered into Akame's pussy while he closed his eyes with a smile of deep ecstasy on his face as another orgasm approached and this kept their excitement as high as could be. Naruto groaned as his balls tightened along with her walls on his manhood and Akame continued to moan.

At last, her innards coiled around his erection and both her juices and his semen sprayed out of her before pouring onto her bed. Without removing his still-hard member, Naruto pulled Akame into his lap and turned her around to face him to where she was now straddling his cock.

Naruto placed his hands back on her breasts and she placed her hands on his shoulders to steady herself. Without any hesitation, he began pummeling into her wetness while she shook her hips on top of him and grinded his tower while he caressed and squeezed her mounds as they jiggled and bobbed over him.

Akame leaned her head down and kissed him once again while keeping her hands steady on his shoulders. Red eyes reunited with blue eyes and Naruto's tongue reacquainted itself with Akame's while she thrust down onto his manhood. They let out muffled moans as his hilt flew into her innards with a lust-fueled barrage of thrusts and her walls grinded his thrusts.

Naruto's member slammed and banged into Akame's womb while she wiggled her hips together on him. Her ass smacked against his lap as he shot his tower up into her warmth and she mewled from this. Naruto's manhood crashed into her core as he toyed with her bosom and excessively groped her chest.

Despite how much of a sweat the sex with Naruto was causing her to work up, Akame felt just fine as her energy guided her in the sex as she continued sending her warmth down his erection and the two of them were so wrapped up their pleasure, they didn't hear the sound of the door to Akame's room opening.

Naruto and Akame's tongues danced in a lustful duel as he twirled his thumbs around her tits as they swayed over him. The red-eyed swordswoman moaned as she rode her lover's manhood and he thundered his length into her caverns. His fingers massaged and groped her bosom as it bounced and flew forward above his heart before his seeds erupted from his cock and filled her womb.

"A-A-Akame!" They both heard someone say and Naruto and Akame's eyes snapped open and they looked towards the door to see Mine standing in the doorway with an absolutely shocked look on her face.

"M-M-Mine!" Akame said, equally as shocked and embarrassed as Mine was at being walked in on in the heat of the moment. Both girls were sporting full-body blushes and Akame and Naruto were locked in position as they both stared at Mine.

"Um, I'll just come back later. Sorry to bother you two." Mine said in a flustered squeak and with that Mine quickly, and perhaps very smartly exited the room and closed the door behind her.

"Oh my God," Akame said as she covered her face in complete embarrassment, having never been more embarrassed in her life.

That, however, was nothing compared to the feeling of cold dread that Naruto was experiencing, especially when Leone and Chelsea found out from Mine about what she had just witnessed, all hell was going to break loose.

Sure enough, moments later when Chelsea and Leone caught up with Mine and saw how traumatized she looked, they were naturally curious as to why. Then when a fully dressed Naruto and Akame came and joined the party, the three of them hotly blushed and refused to look each other in the eye.

Needless to say, it didn't take a genius for Chelsea and Leone to figure out what had happened between the three. And after prying the juicy details from Mine, as Naruto correctly predicted, all hell broke loose as they were forced to endure the worst teasing they'd ever suffered from the two troublemakers.

"Oh my God Naruto, I knew ninjas were supposed to be good at stealth and all, but I didn't think you were also a natural at that kind of in-FILL-tration." Chelsea laughed with tears in her eyes as Leone was in stitches along with her as Naruto and Akame blushed brightly and tried their hardest to look away from each other.

Meanwhile, Sheele was blushing along with Akame and Naruto and looked to be incredibly embarrassed for her two friends. She couldn't imagine how mortifying and embarrassing it had to have been to be walked in on in the middle of one of your most private and personal moments.

Tatsumi meanwhile was in complete shock, he knew that Akame and Naruto were getting close to each other, but that was the last thing he would have predicted that would have happened between the two of them, given how socially awkward Akame is and how shy Naruto is around Akame.

Mine, for her part, refused to look Akame and Naruto in the eyes after what she's walked in on them doing earlier. She felt traumatized by what she had seen and felt as if she'd been scarred for life. She just knew this was karma coming back to bite her for trying to kill Naruto the other day.

"Hey Chelsea, it looks like our boy Naruto was spilling a whole lot more than just blood with our little Akame-chan here." Leone joked in between hysterical laughs.

"Oh Leone, I'd say what Naruto and Akame did defined new ways of "backstabbing." Chelsea joked, and Leone absolutely lost it laughing.

"I guess you could say he lost his sword in her sheath." Leone laughed and that was the last straw for Chelsea as she and Leone literally lost all sense of decorum laughing their asses off.

Their laughter was soon cut short as a cold chill of killing intent filled the room and Chelsea and Leone looked up to see Tatsumi, Mine, and Sheele with absolutely paled faces, while Naruto and Akame had angered looks on their faces that clearly said: "I'm going to kill you now."

"Uh oh. Well, I guess it's time to run, bye now." Chelsea and Leone both said with a look of fear on their faces as they took off with a now pissed off Naruto and Akame hot on their heels with Akame wielding Murasame and Naruto wielding his mother's blade.

"They are so dead." Mine, Tatsumi, and Sheele thought to themselves as they watched Naruto and Akame chase the two troublemakers throughout the hideout.

~Years Later~

All was quiet in the as the moonlight shone over the Palace of the Rising Dawn. The guards of the palace were patrolling the place while the members of the New Army and the leaders of the New Nation were currently having an important secret meeting.

Somewhere in the darkness, four hooded figures suddenly appeared outside the palace. They scouted the place for security and felt that they should be able to get past the guards easy enough for what they needed to do.

"Are you ready Mizuko?" One of the hooded figures asked and another hooded figure just grinned before removing her hood.

"Of course Shigure, I was born for this. It'll be just another kill for me." The woman named Mizuko said. Mizuko was a woman who looked to be around Naruto's age with long violet-blue hair and light blue eyes.

She wore a blue long-sleeved kimono robe with a wave design on it and a mesh shirt underneath, black form-fitting shorts, bandages on her hands and wrists, blue shinobi sandals, and a Takigakure forehead protector on her left arm. She carried a very unique kunai with a wave-shaped blade, similar to a Kris dagger.

"Just make sure you don't screw this up you two, all of our lives are on the line with this." Another hooded figure, this one a young male also around Naruto's age with spiky seafoam green hair and forest green eyes.

He wore a green zip-up jacket with a black shirt underneath and a grayish scarf around his neck with green lines on it. He also wore black pants, black fingerless gloves, black shinobi sandals along with a green Kusagakure bandana-styled forehead protector.

"Oh will you relax Gunma, how many times have you seen us do this? Besides, with that bastard Uzumaki not here to interfere, this'll be as easy as taking candy from a child." Mizuko confidently said.

"She's right Gunma, you worry too much. We've seen Mizuko and Shigure do this so many times it's almost second nature to them. All they have to do is get in, kill Najenda, and that'll be it for the Shinobi Alliance with this second-class nation." The last hooded figure said.

This one was a young woman also around Naruto's age with messy, short brunette hair and golden eyes. She wore a form-fitting pale green vest with an opening that displayed her perky cleavage, an Otogakure forehead protector, and snake-patterned shorts and scarf. On her arms, she wore a set of Resonating Echo Speakers like the one worn by Dosu many years before her, only more advanced.

"I guess you're right Kokyu, maybe I'm just being paranoid," Gunma said.

"Yes, I imagine you are. This is no time to get cold feet now. The sooner Najenda dies and this Alliance ends, the better off things will be for us." Mizuko said.

"She's right, ever since this Alliance has begun, shinobi from outside the Five Great Shinobi Villages have become expendable. Once the Alliance has ended, things will once again go back to the way they should be." The first hooded figure, Shigure said.

Shigure was a young man around Naruto's age with short slicked back white hair and dark eyes. His attire consisted of a black and blue wetsuit accented by a faded purple standard Amekagure flak jacket, black gloves, standard shinobi sandals, and a dark cloak that reached down to his ankles. He also wore a standard Amegakure headpiece and respirator and he carried an umbrella with a hidden blade on his back.

"Speak of the devil guys," Kokyu said as Najenda appeared in the palace courtyard surrounded by soldiers from the New Army.

"Took her long enough, well just wait until the soldiers get out of the way and take out Najenda from behind. They'll never know what hit them." Shigure said as he reached for his umbrella and Mizuko drew her Kris-style kunai.

The two shinobi watched and waited patiently as they saw Najenda giving instructions to her troops before appearing to dismiss them. As soon as the troops were out of sight, the two rogue shinobi leapt from the shadows and made a beeline for Najenda.

"Die Najenda!" Mizuko thought to herself as she raised her Kris-style kunai ready to cut Najenda down from behind. Just as she made it to Najenda however, she was sliced in half by a black blur, much to the shock of Shigure and to Kokyu and Gunma watching from afar.

"What the…" Shigure said as Najenda turned her head and smirked.

"Right on time, nice work Kiyomi. Now, finish the job and take out this rogue shinobi." Najenda commanded to the young teenage girl who stood in front of her ready to defend her boss.

The girl was a young teenage girl with short dark hair in twin tails and dark blue eyes. She wore a black sailor uniform with a red belt and a red skirt side cover with a navy blue anchor symbol on it. She also wears red gauntlets that also bear a navy blue anchor symbol along with long black socks and shoes.

She completed her look with a blue jacket fashioned after her father's jacket and a red scarf around her neck with an anchor symbol. The appearance gave her somewhat of an "innocent schoolgirl" look but underestimate her if you dare. She carried a katana with black gems in the hilt and a cutlass sword.

"Understood commander." The short-haired girl, Kiyomi said

"So you lured us out huh, smart move. Since you knew we were coming I guess our villages must have forewarned you about our arrival. No matter, I'll just take you out first and then take my time with your boss afterward." Shigure said and Kiyomi tightened her grip on her sword.

"Kiyomi, let me deal with this one." She heard someone say before everyone looked up to see a young teenage girl leap down from the shadows.

The girl had long dark hair and ocean blue eyes and could have easily been mistaken for being Kiyomi's sister. She wore a dark sleeveless minidress and skirt with a white collar and an orange tie. She also wore an orange belt with an orange side skirt cover with a red spiral logo on them. She wears it with long black socks and black shoes. On her arms, she wore orange gauntlets and black gloves with a red spiral logo on the back of her hands.

She completes her look with a long dark coat with a red spiral logo on the back. She carries a katana with a red gem at the base of the blade to symbolize her mother and a Hiraishin kunai at her back that she dual wields with her katana in tribute to her dad.

"Hitomi," Kiyomi said as she watched her cousin prepare to draw her sword while placing one hand on her Hiraishin Kunai.

"That symbol on your back, you are spawn of Uzumaki. This will make killing you all the more satisfying." Shigure said as he reached back and drew his umbrella blade.

"Let's go, little girl," Shigure said as he charged at Hitomi head on. Hitomi swiftly threw her Hiraishin kunai which warped her behind Shigure and before he had time to react, he was decapitated by Hitomi."

"Eliminate." Hitomi emotionlessly said and Kikyo and Gunma looked on in shock as their leaders were wiped out with ease.

"Who in the hell are these monsters," Gunma said as he began to take off running upon realizing they had been trapped and set up, only to be tripped up by a wire wrapping around his leg, which caused him to stumble, followed by a kill shot from a sniper bullet right between his eyes.

"Not much of a shinobi if he's gonna just run away, is he Crowley?" said a pink-haired, green-eyed teenage girl who was scoped out in a nearby tree. The girl wore her pink hair in twin tails with pink ribbons.

She wore a pink and black long-sleeved Gothic Lolita inspired battle dress with a pink bow on the back and a tied pink shawl with a cherry blossom buckle on it draped over her shoulders. She completed her look with black stockings and pink shoes.

Her weapons are a short one-handed blade, which she keeps strapped to her back and can wield with either hand; and a magnum revolver strapped to her left thigh and a high-caliber anti-material rifle that was her pride and joy.

"Yeah, well I think anyone would run away from Hitomi, Kaida." Said a green-haired boy with purple eyes as he scoped out the carnage from above along with the pink-haired sniper.

The young boy wore black goggles similar to the ones worn by his father on his head, a long black jacket with a white fur-trimmed hood over a white and green ringer shirt, black jeans and white shoes. His weapons included a spear with a back end that fired a wire thread made of Danger Beast hair, and a bladed glove on his left hand.

"Damn it, they may have gotten the others, but I'll be damned if they'll take me as well," Kokyu said before dodging two sniper bullets and taking off into the darkness.

"Damn it, she's getting away," Kaida said.

"Not for long she is. Our girl Alice will see to that." Crowley said with a smirk.

Kokyu ran through the palace grounds looking to escape from the trap that she and her deceased teammates had been lured into. She cursed herself for being foolish enough to fall for such an easy trap, and she knew deep in her heart that Uzumaki was the one behind it.

"I swear Uzumaki, there will be a reckoning for you one day." Kokyu thought to herself with vengeance in her heart as she came to the gates of the palace. Just as she prepared to make a break for it, she found a young teenage girl blocking her way.

The young girl had long red hair and green eyes. She wore a white long sleeve shirt with a red and black plaid tie under a black vest, a very teasing red and black checkered mini skirt with form-fitting black shorts underneath, black fingerless gloves, and black leather below-the-knee boots.

She completes her look with a white zip-up hoodie with cat's ears on the head and a set of butterfly headphones on her head. She also carried a lollipop in her mouth. Overall, she had something of a pop idol look, an advantage she often took full use of in battle. Her weapons included a short sword, two wrist blade gauntlets, and a pouch on her hip full of throwing knives.

"Where do you think you're going?" The girl, Alice said, and Kokyu just glared at her.

"Right through you, it seems, annoying brat." Kokyu snarled as she prepared her Speakers to fight.

"You're more than welcome to try," Alice said with a Cheshire cat smirk.

"I'll do more than that you little bitch," Kokyu said as she launched a Resonating Echo Drill by amplifying the sound waves from her arm movements to attack Alice. She redirects the waves in mid-air to her target, hoping to damage her target's inner ear and leave her nauseous for an attack.

Alice's smirk never left her face, as she drew her wrist blades and charged full-speed at Kokyu, who was stunned that her attack seemingly had no effect on the redhead. She blocked the attack of the oncoming Alice before backflipping up onto a nearby wall.

"Try this!" Kokyu said as she once again used her Resonating Echo Drill to send the sound waved into a nearby column, destroying it and sending it seemingly crashing down onto Alice.

"Easy as that," Kokyu said with a smirk as she cockily began walking towards the gate to the palace, with nobody in sight to stop her. Just as she was getting ready to celebrate her escape, she was skewered through the back of the throat with a set of throwing knives.

Blood poured from Kokyu's mouth in shock as she fell to her knees and held onto her throat, gasping for her last breath. Just then, she saw someone walk towards her and she looked up in horror to see Alice standing above her with her short sword raised high.

"No…please, no." Kokyu pleaded, with tears in her eyes.

"Sorry, but I don't go easy on anyone who threatens my boss's life," Alice said, before swinging her short sword and decapitating the Sound kunoichi. Once it was over, Alice flung the blood off her sword and sheathed it before sighing.

"I will never enjoy killing," Alice said before hanging her head down before she was embraced by a strong, yet caring set of arms.

"And that's a good thing sweetheart, it means you're still human. The minute you stop feeling guilty about killing people, then you should feel worried about who you are." Her mother, Chelsea said, and Alice looked up at her mother.

"Mom am I too weak for not wanting to kill people?" Alice asked with tears in her eyes, and she was consoled by her father.

"Alice, I once had the same mindset as you when I first joined Night Raid. I hated having to kill people, and it disgusted me to do so when I did." Tatsumi said and Alice's eyes widened at hearing her father's words.

"But I had to learn to carry the weight, each and every one of us... we're all killers, there are no two ways about it, but we do what we have to in order to ensure those we love and care for are safe. So that the people and our country can have a brighter tomorrow."

"There will be hard times in this line of work, but you should never forget why you fight and to let your loved ones in when you need them. One person can only handle so much on their own and no one is perfect." Tatsumi told his youngest daughter and she smiled at her father and hugged him, and Chelsea smiled at Tatsumi's words.

"Aww look at you, being a loving father to daddy's little girl. I swear you've gotten so soft in your old age." Tatsumi and Alice heard a teasing voice say and both their eyes snapped open in anger.

"WHAT!" They said as they turned around to see Mine smirking at him with her daughter Kaida.

Also with them were Naruto and Akame along with their daughter Hitomi, Wave and Kurome and their daughter Kiyomi, Najenda and Lubbock and their son Crowley, Leone, Sheele, and Run (who was Kiyomi's godfather).

"You done crying yet little sis?" Kaida teased and Alice blushed and turned her head with a huff.

"Shut up Kaida, you know it's my first time killing anyone," Alice said.

"Hey, it looks to us like you handled it just fine. You didn't even hesitate." Crowley said, and Alice's eyes widened as the realization hit her.

"I didn't hesitate?" Alice asked in shock.

"You sure didn't. Granted that Kokyu woman was a bit of an evil bitch, to be honest. But fair play to you, you didn't hold back." Chelsea said to her daughter and Alice smiled proudly.

"I guess I did pretty good after all didn't I?" Alice said.

"Of course you did Alice, so quit doubting yourself alright. You make yourself look so uncool when you do." Crowley said while patting Alice on the back and Alice blushed at Crowley's words, something many of the older Night Raid members didn't miss.

"Looks like your son has picked up his daddy's love for pretty women." Leone teased making Najenda shake her head.

"Yes, I see that. At this rate, I honestly don't know whether to be scared or excited about that. At least he's not as bad as this one used to be." Najenda said.

"Hey, at least I eventually grew out of that. I'm sure he won't be as bad." Lubbock said.

"Yeah well, as long as he leaves my little girl alone, he's fine," Tatsumi growled and everyone laughed at Tatsumi staring a hole at Crowley, who looked rather nervous.

"Look at you, being an overprotective father. So cute." Leone said while stroking Tatsumi's head and Chelsea and Mine just chuckled and Akame smiled before looking to Alice.

"Your daughter's first kill remind you of anyone Tatsumi?" Akame asked and Tatsumi smiled as he realized that his daughter's first kill went as smoothly as his first kill when he killed Aria.

"I guess the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree after all," Tatsumi said.

"That goes for you two as well," Naruto said as he looked to Hitomi and Kiyomi.

"Yes, you both were outstanding out there, well done both of you." Wave said.

"Thanks, dad, we really hoped we could make you all proud today. Kiyomi and I make a great team, and we really wanted to show you how far we've come." Hitomi said, and Akame and Kurome smiled at their daughters.

"And we couldn't be prouder of both of you. In a way, we actually envy the two of you a bit." Akame said and Hitomi and Kiyomi curiously looked at their parents.

"Envy us, but why," Kiyomi asked.

"The reason we envy you is that you two have an opportunity we never had the chance to have because of how this Empire once used to be. You both have the chance to be together on one team as a family." Kurome said before she turned and looked at both Kiyomi and Hitomi.

"Kiyomi, Hitomi, there will be many trials you will both have to face in this line of work, and there will be many outside forces that will try to tear apart the bond that you two have. No matter what happens, you two stay together.

"Trust one another, have each other's back and be there for each other at all times. Because the minute you allow anyone to break apart that bond you two have, it could lead you both down a road to ruin that you may never come back from. Do you understand me?" Kurome seriously said and Kiyomi and Hitomi were stunned at Kurome's words and they both looked at each other and nodded before giving Kurome a nod of understanding and an assuring hug.

Naruto, Akame, Wave, and Run understood why Kurome was doing this and they all smiled at the intimate moment between Kurome and her daughter and aunt. Najenda meanwhile was watching the younger members of Night Raid along with Leone, Sheele, and Lubbock.

"Those kids are gonna be just fine," Lubbock said.

"They may turn out to be better than their parents." Leone conspiratorially said

"Well, let's not go that far now shall we," Najenda said.

"Why not mom? I'm with Leone, I think I'm gonna surpass you both. Just wait and see." Crowley said.

"Son, hubris is a dangerous thing. Humility is a virtue, learn some before I teach it to you the hard way." Najenda said in an annoyed tone.

"If I didn't know better, I'd say you were a little nervous that I might be catching up to you Mom." Crowley bragged, and his mother gave him a dark look that scared the hell out of him.

"Kid, now would probably be a good time to run," Lubbock said, and Crowley listened to the advice of his father before making a break for it before being caught by his mother's mechanical limb being launched at him.

"Oh shit," Crowley said as he was pulled back to Najenda who proceeded to beat some serious respect into him to the amusement of all watching. Soon Crowley was lying in a heap on the ground and Alice and Kaida were laughing their asses off at him while Kiyomi and Hitomi also couldn't help but giggle.

"Now this is how things were meant to be." Sheele thought to herself as she watched her friends laugh together and went over to join them.

WE DID IT, We're DONE! We've finally come to the end of this entertaining story. Before I go any further, I have to send out a special thank you to my two close friends warrior of six blades and fictionelement777.

This final chapter has been an absolute nightmare for me to get through and there have been many times I've been stumped for ideas. Without you guys helping me along, I don't know if I would have ever finished this story. So thank you both, you guys are the best.

Now, onto the breakdown of this final chapter. First of all, I thought with this being the final chapter, I wanted to do something special. So, I thought it would be a fun idea in this final chapter to include several callbacks to some of my favorite moments from the anime.

First off, with the rematch between Akame and Naruto, I thought it would be funny to start that off with the same way that Tatsumi was introduced to Akame by Leone. As for the battle itself, I figured it would be a good idea to have a rematch between both Naruto and Akame with Akame having seen Naruto's moves and knowing what to expect while forcing Naruto to have to adapt if he wants to beat her.

As for the song choice for the fight, I actually got that idea from one of my favorite AMV's on YouTube by CF. For those of you who have seen the AMV, I'm sure you'll agree with me that it is probably (at least in my opinion), the best Akame ga Kill AMV in all of YouTube. And for those of you who haven't seen it, all I can say is find it and watch it! I promise you won't be disappointed.

Now, moving onto the Emperor. Figuring out what I was going to do with him was a challenge. Ultimately it came down to whether I should leave him in Gaara's hands, or Sasuke's hands since I know either one would help him find redemption.

In the end, I choose the former since Sasuke's already dealing with his own problems trying to redeem himself. And overall, I think it was a pretty good choice, If you agree with me, feel free to let me know.

Now onto the big elephant in the room, Tatsumi being married to BOTH Mine and Chelsea. Now that might have come as a surprise to you all I'm sure. But if it did, all I have to say is…what else were you expecting. I've been hinting at this like literally since the first chapter. Seriously, go back and look throughout the first three chapters, there's been a ton of hints.

From Tatsumi being the one to save Chelsea, from both girls getting worried sick about Leone leaving him to fight Esdeath alone, to both girls tearing up when Tatsumi passionately rejected Esdeath and stayed loyal to his comrades. The hints have all been there, you just had to be paying attention to notice them. I'm not sure if I'll do this again for future stories, but if you guys liked Tatsumi being paired with Mine and Chelsea, let me know and I'll consider it.

Now as for Mine's daughter, that was something requested by my mentor Raptorcloak, as we really didn't get to see Tatsumi and Mine's child at the end of the series. So I figured that Mine, being the spoiled princess she is, would more than likely want a girl of her own that she could spoil just as much.

I decided to name her Kaida which, as stated in the story, is a Japanese girls name meaning "little dragon." As you can see by her interactions in this story, she clearly has Sheele picked as her favorite member of Night Raid apart from her parents. Considering that Sheele was Mine's running mate for most of her time on screen, that's really no surprise.

I apologize if her appearance in this story was brief, but it served its purpose, to introduce her to readers and set up her possible appearance in future stories. So, if you guys want to see her again in another story, feel free to let me know in the comments.

Now, onto the next callback, Naruto walking in on Mine and getting shot at for it. The first time I saw that scene in the anime where Tatsumi nearly got his ass shot off for doing the same thing, I couldn't stop laughing at Tatsumi for being so stupid. I knew I was gonna use a callback to that scene in my story, but instead of Najenda tricking Naruto, I decided that Chelsea was gonna be the one to do it instead (that sounds like something she'd do, the sneaky little devil).

Onto the next callback with the girl from Tatsumi's mission with Mine. I thought it would be a good idea to show that she's doing much better now with the Empire gone. I chose her name Shion because it means "I won't forget you" or "remembrance" in Japanese.

I thought it would be a fitting name for her because it would symbolize that she hasn't forgotten how Night Raid helped her so long ago and how their influence changed things for the better, not just for her but for the Empire in general.

Now as for the new name of the palace. That was a name recommended by warrior of six blades. The name, as he put it "is meant to represent the Empire now taking a new direction of rule and its people being treated better than in the past."

As soon as he told me the meaning behind the name, I didn't need to hear anything else. So, "Palace of the Rising Dawn" will be the new name of the Imperial Palace following the fall of the Empire in all future stories involving Akame ga Kill.

Now, onto Bols. I figured it was a good idea to show Bols in this chapter and show how he's doing post-Empire. As you can see, he's now free of the Empire's control, and now freely works for Najenda and the new regime. And the best part, he's been pardoned of all of his past crimes under Honest's influence and can now move forward with his life.

As for the last two callbacks with the fishing scene and the beach scene, those were two of my favorite funny moments from the anime that I knew I was going to have in this story. I decided to put my own spin on both scenes while adding my own personal touch of humor in both scenes, so I hope you guys got a kick out of them both.

Now onto arguably the most important part of this chapter, Kurome's redemption. First of all, the decision to regress Kurome back into compromised health was done to show just how much the actions of her previous battle with Naruto and Akame have haunted her and are affecting her physically and psychologically.

Second of all, the song choice for this scene. I chose Bring Me The Horizon's "Hospital For Souls" for its lyrical meaning and how it relates to Kurome's situation. Lyrically the song is about ascending from a dark place created from the consequences of your own actions and rising from the ashes as a changed individual.

Third, the battle scene. The fight was written in three parts. The opening stage of the battle was all new sequences that hadn't been done before. The second stage of the battle was Naruto, Akame, and Kurome revisiting their battle from one year ago by repeating the same sequences from the battle move-for-move (hence the line from Naruto "just like old times").

The final stage of the battle…well that something that only die-hard Akame ga Kill fans will pick up on. Can you guess where that sequence comes from? Your biggest clue is Akame and Kurome's dialogue after the battle is over.

Now onto the sex scene, I tried not to get too crazy with it considering this is Akame, who is so emotionally repressed due to her training from the Empire that it's difficult to bring her out of her shell sometimes. So that's what I tried to focus on with the sex scene, Naruto bringing out all of those hidden feelings of lust she has deep within her.

As for the ending with Mine, I hope everyone got a kick out of that. And my reason for doing it was simple: Mine talked about karma in the story, well, that's pretty much what this was. Remember, it was Akame who walked in on Mine having sex with Tatsumi when Mine was trying to make Tatsumi forget all about Esdeath (and that's not just a rumor, that was confirmed by Akame herself at the end of the manga).

As for the ending with everyone's children protecting Najenda, for anyone who caught it, I based that entire scene off the first time we ever saw Night Raid in the anime, when they attacked Aria's family and saved Tatsumi. I hope you guys love all the fun callbacks to that scene I included in the final battle of this story.

As for the children's names, I decided to name Naruto and Akame's daughter Hitomi, which in Japanese translates to "pupil of the eye" and "beautiful" and is a name often given to girls with beautiful eyes. As for Wave and Kurome's daughter Kiyomi, her name translates to "pure beauty" and was chosen as a way of showing how Wave and Kurome's child was born perfectly happy and healthy.

As for Najenda and Lubbock's son Crowley, that name was chosen based on Lubbock's name being an English surname. I wanted their son to have a similar English/Irish surname, so after searching for names, I decided to go with the popular surname Crowley.

As for Tatsumi and Chelsea's daughter Alice, her name was actually inspired by Chelsea's name being of Old English origin. I wanted to give her daughter a name of similar Old World origin, so I eventually settled on the popular name Alice, which is a name of Germanic/Old French origin.

BTW, if you're wondering how Alice was able to completely brush off Kokyu's sound attacks, it's so easy that it really should have been obvious: it's the soundproof headphones she's wearing over her ears that block out the sound waves.

I hope everyone likes how I ended the story. I thought since we started this tale with Sora Amamiya singing us out, that it was only appropriate that she should sing us out on the final chapter. I hope all of my Akame ga Kill fans approve of this idea and I might do it again in a future story.

Well, I hope everyone has enjoyed this great story. And guess what folks, I ain't done with this series yet. Up next is everybody's favorite busty blonde cat girl, Leone. So until next time, so long and don't forget to read and review.

OH IT'S TRUE, IT'S DAMN TRUE!
