Alrain: So I am here receiving the documents of Necros of this story he had first written and it was through sheer hard work even if he did look at the manga, he considered it just writing out all the bad parts and making it only beneficial to Tatsumi only while he did make some good changes.
So I have to continue on from where Necros started and make it up on my own and the information about the new Teigu, Necros send me those as well and I need to start rewriting the Return of the Leaders as he had requested. I like the story but it was going to be originally adult Jaune traveled back in time but there are some things I need to work out with.
Greninja the one Necros chose is going to continue with him but can anyone recommend an Anime that Greninja suits in?
RWBY: Return of the Leader.
Danmachi: Dual Mind.
Demon Slayer: Blessings.
Chapter 1: Not back to the Beginning.
Night Raid base.
'Long time since I was here,' thought Tatsumi as he looked at the Former Assassin Hideout of Night Raid that was currently invisible to the normal eye, it was covered in vines and other plants that hid the visible and yet invisible base completely, not even the slightest bit of white was left there for the eye to see but not to Tatsumi. He was back after a few years of traveling around the world and around 2 years he came back, coming back to clean it and stay there for a few days to get some good memories back, and then leave again to travel around the world and if he got old he would come back here but never in the Empire.
The Empire held far too many painful memories than the good ones...well, there weren't any good ones there except for the Deaths of Esdeath and Prime Minister Honest, most memories were outside of the Empire and would always be there but also a lot of painful ones and Tatsumi didn't go enter the hideout but headed straight for the cliff.
"Hey, guys," said Tatsumi the graves in front of him and they didn't respond but vague images of his friends appeared for a second and answered the way he expected them to, sighing to himself he placed his bag down and began getting rid of the vines and critters walking all over it and thoroughly cleaned each one of them until they sparkled in the sunlight. "It has been quite some time that I got here...this place didn't change much nor the Empire which is the best,"
It didn't change a lot since no one else besides him knew of this place that not even bandits if they were still here, knew about it, The Empire had fallen years ago and the New Empire had risen up that made many troubles disappear including bandits. Since there wasn't any corruption at all and no poverty there was no meaning in stealing, jobs gave fair payments, money was given to those who worked hard in their lives and retired. Villages earned money too and simply paid taxes and traded, fair money was given by the quality of the products they specialized making.
Moving to the base he began cleaning everything up from the outside removing all the vines with some help of his powers and the inside was fine, cleaning the walls, washing the bathroom, getting rid of any insects in the base, and as the last the furniture made of very tough wood and simply covered in dust, but each piece of furniture had a meaning to him here.
Looking at the table he saw one of the chairs still pulled out and saw Sheele reading her book with tips for airheads and losing her glasses in the process, he smiled at that and missed Sheele dearly for her cute appearance and behavior, the 1st friend he made when he got into Night Raid and the one he felt most comfortable with and the one who honored the death of his friends. And in a way, he felt at that time what it felt to have a big caring sister there for you.
Her death made him realize that this job was that dead loomed always around the corner, he did cooking without complaining now knowing that each meal could be the last one.
The next one was the training ground and the white paint that made the field clear was a bit vague and covered with leaves and twigs and it reminded his training with Bulat, he called him Big Bro as he wished to be called like that and he got his attention with how he was moving so fluently, the part did creep him out that Leone revealed him that he was gay well he didn't judge since taste varies.
His death gave him more motivation to get stronger and stronger to be able to face the next opponent, he felt that it was partially his fault since he let Nyau distract Bulat and missed the vital strike that would've ensured his life.
There were more places he had to go to and they weren't in the Nigh Raid base as certain places from the bar he met Leone where she robbed him of his money and drank her fill, the Sakura tree where he got a tiny bit closer to Mine and then further away, the bookstore of Lubbock with his favorite Manga, the living room where he talked with his boss, Susanoo by the waterfall training and teaching him not to rely on power, the hot springs where Chelsea caught him and told her past to him, it continued on and on but one place had more meaning to him than anything else.
The kitchen and it wasn't because of the food but mainly because he worked most of the time with Akame in the kitchen, despite being so emotionless, gluttonous, and a bit awkward around subjects that don't involve food but he wouldn't want to trade those times with Akame for anything else. After done with cleaning the kitchen and making food for himself he went to his room and was ready to sleep, and looked one more time as the window seeing the sun fall down. 'I wish you all could be here to see what we achieved...even if no one knew that it was our hard work we killed, we don't take credit at all,'
He was a bit mad that Night Raid was never mentioned but soon accepted it when he thought of the consequences it would bring, and their deaths had meaning to them and compared to him their hearts were filled with scars of their past, they had seen more death, betrayals, and were forced to do things that made them heartbroken. In a way, he knew that in their death they were relieved to be released from the hell they withstood through if that made them happy he would let it be. It hurts him that it would take a lot of time to ever go back with them...or maybe never since he wasn't human despite his appearance, human flesh completely replaced with Dragon Flesh and became the literal Tyrant.
Brushing away the white locks of his hair that was a mix of white and brown, turning his head he saw one green eye and the other one red with a cross-symbol on it, he still remembered what Bulat and the Doctor told him that the Tyrant's flesh was still alive and he felt each time when the war drew closer that it was more alive, he felt the presence behind him and how powerful it was and almost took his body. If it wasn't for Akame he would be no longer here but there was something else that made him think, how long would he continue to live as the Tyrant's lifespan was unknown but a nightmare for Tatsumi.
'Please...just someone I want to save them, Akame, I can't take this any longer...a human living for so long alone can only take so much,' he silently cried and let his face rest on the soft pillow, tears streamed down his cheeks as he allowed himself to cry for a while until he was tired to cry and let himself succumb to the darkness. He didn't bother to change as he was too tired for it but not of cleaning the base at all, emotionally tired of remembering the good times he had with Night Raid since he had a hard time letting it go, he would stay here for a while so better sleep well instead of staying away all night. The latest journey he had did take a lot of his attention and made him momentarily forget about his sadness, interest piqued and he stayed there for a few months for training and made some good friends before leaving again, it never erased that sadness at all that he always sensed.
What he never noticed was that someone from far away heard him and granted his wish, threads were spun and the person ran towards the base that was now in plain sight as Tatsumi may have cleaned it a bit too well, the white shining walls of the base didn't hide a lot and once entered in the person dashed with great speed yet quietly towards Tatsumi room.
But Tatsumi however traveled and fought countless bandits trying to ambush him and he felt someone coming and grabbed his sword, but he was just a second too late as bright purple light blinded him and send him hurling into an unending space.
Forest.
"Geh!" groaned Tatsumi as he forced himself to look forward as he felt his body fall down and quickly reacted by landing stealthily on a branch of a tree, quickly scanning around him where he was like he had been teleported to a base, if there were any enemies to take down or escape routes to go through and how many enemies there were. "The...forest? He simply teleported me outside...no, the smell is different,"
Sniffing the air it smelled more like Poison and not like the smell of animals, this made him conclude he was not in the area outside of the Night Raid Hideout but neither too far away from where he was.
"So...I am not in the Night Raid Base anymore, but now to know where I am-!" he stopped with when he suddenly heard some rustling of bushes and looked down and killed his presence and hid with his invisibility.
Screams were heard and Tatsumi peered over the thick branch of the tree and saw small figures run as fast as possible and the danger they were running from came of giant centipedes, Tatsumi looked horrified as he hasn't seen something this cruel since the 1st night he stayed in the capital but something else bothered him. Somewhere in the back of his mind told him that he has heard about this...but he didn't know since he hasn't seen this cruelty yet, he had seen Bulat forced to kill his mentor because of the sides, Chelsea found out she was the sole survivor of her group, Najenda working for the corruption, and Akame fighting her sister as both of them were sold as...oh, my god!
This couldn't be happening since he had never wanted to time-travel at all! Neither did he ever think he had the possibility to do it on his own, he didn't have special powers that allowed him to manipulate time or space, Shambala and Crosstail were destroyed and he may have some blood of Esdeath (Which made him almost puke every time he reminded himself.) but wasn't able to perform freezing time that well, he could actually freeze time but since he rarely used it the time limit wasn't a lot about 5 seconds or so. Yeah, he told himself he didn't have special powers to manipulate time and freezing time wasn't necessarily a manipulation except for halting the process. He wasn't affected by it since he had Ice Resistance and freely move in it and he could actually further move in it, but now wasn't the time to dwell in it.
'I need to search for Akame, right now,' said Tatsumi but halted himself when he looked down on himself and he was the same so it would be a bit weird in the later future...but did he have the right to change it all? So much could change if he did that and things could go down south for the Revolutionary army, Akame lived through hell and he felt like he had pulled her back into his horrible world. And then there was Kurome and if he did something like making Kurome go with Akame...as pleasing as the thought was of having Akame less of a burden in the future her resolve would perhaps not be so strong.
Did he have a right to change everything?
One should never mess with the borders of time unless necessary in case something horrible happens in the near future, was there a reason why he was sent here by some kind of being that wasn't human or Danger-Beast...he would go with the latter since Shambala was made with parts of a Danger-Beast, and whoever that person was he smelled him and the smell was familiar even if it was for only a second. And those words he said weren't from him and from a comic about time-travel messing up things...but it was only because he shifted time by running back caused that boom and here was no boom.
Tatsumi sighed and simply got his bag ready, it was a good thing he knew where the Teigu originated from.
"Kurome!" shouted Akame in fear as a wolf pounced on Kurome who had been a second too late and the older sister rushed forward and got the knife out of the bandages and stabbed the wolf in the neck, blood gushed out but Akame pulled Kurome away before the girl could be doused in it but several others behind her appeared ready to tear her apart.
"Big Sis!" shouted Kurome in fear as the wolves got close and Akame turned around her knife ready and slashed the throat of the closest one incoming, but the others came too close until and punched on Akame who let Kurome go but held onto the knife. She stabbed the wolf who...didn't react at all and simply was lying up against her. Kurome got up and ran back and pulled the...corpses of the wolves of her big sister who was surprised and startled but snapped out of it when Kurome tackled her in a hug.
As Akame focused on Kurome she didn't notice a small sound made somewhere up high or the perfect circle in the wolves bodies with blood gushing out of it.
'I was just in time, Akame has luckily told me about her life in the Empire and Leone some parts too, the boss was there and I know most of what is happening from her point,' it wasn't a lot of information but Tatsumi had to do with it and find things for himself out too, he then noticed a middle-sized bag on the tree next to him and went over to it. Opening it the first thing that caught her attention was a small book. Other than that there were some other small books but the one he was seeing was different, it was encased with some golden metal and the moment he touched it opened up.
He knew it wasn't the time to read but he knew that Akame's source of strength was to protect Kurome but he didn't give himself a lot of time, his eyes darted and read the words as the pages made it easier from the titles, he had gone straight to the title of Storyline and read the events that were exactly happening now. He was truly back in time as the words colored themselves as the events happened like it was going with the flow of time, switching back to the beginning of the titles of each page that contained important information, he went to the title of figures and the name of the Elite 7 caught his attention and read the description of each person and smiled at the weird antics they had that they reminded him of his team.
This Poney girl would go good along with Sheele of both of them being airheads and Sheele wouldn't feel lonely.
Mine would hate Tsukushi for her big breasts she possessed and pretty much every girl for having bigger breasts, it seemed she wouldn't get along with anyone but Tsukushi would love to be around Sheele too. (This Gozuki-guy was quite...detailed about her breasts.)
Green would be a good friend for himself for having fantasies but also morals idealistic as his, it seemed he has a crush on Akame except that her profile told him that she didn't see him that way.
This Gai was a pervert at the same level as Lubbock...maybe not the same since Lubbock never had any courage to enter a brothel.
Cornelia would be like Leone as a great big sister but a bit more strict and not so flaunting with her body.
Then there was Najasho and he could easily imagine him as the son of his boss and the 2nd drawing of him showed his brainwashed side, he had no longer his arms but replaced with mechanical ones and one of his eyes changed black and had a tribal marking underneath it, the iris was changed into a red one rather than the other one yellow. (Although a colder attitude and hopefully no bad puns.)
It seemed that this was something that had to do with Gravekeeper techniques that were actually close to as magic as it can't be completely explained by scientific means, he wasn't going to delve into it any further...for now.
Luckily he had the power to do it and what kind of powers he possessed with Incursio alone, but he had not only Incursio as this was something he would never tell anyone at all, the secret alone could do great impact of a person holding too much power and he knew that exposing this would be an incredibly terrifying thing and Incursio alone gave him unlimited potential.
At the end of the war, it was decided by all the leaders of the Revolutionary Army that the Teigu were to be destroyed as they brought nothing but harm, they were symbols of power and fear and the Teigu users didn't mind it at all if it meant the peace of the Empire, Tatsumi took it up to destroy them and there may have been a small incident where he figured something else out with the Teigu. He may have slipped and swallowed Black Marine and controlled some nearby water in a cup, and that was simply how he was able to figure out something in his body. If he simply ate the Teigu or took a small bite of it he could use it, pretty much breaking the 1000-year-old rule of the Teigu and cheating things. Luckily he didn't have to swallow the whole Teigu or something like that much to his relief and simply took a bite of it, the remaining Teigu were destroyed all by him and he simply left with not telling anyone at all.
'If I fall in love with you again Akame...this time it will be very inappropriate since I am older then you now, I am after all very old,' he appeared young and he did visit around the few years, but 200 years already have passed reason why he wasn't able to take it anymore as no sane human can live this long. Now it was time to prepare himself as he had no made his choice to interfere, allowing his body to relax and focus on some aspects the boy made his frame smaller and oddly enough the clothes shrank along, his clothes then shifted and took the shape of ragged clothing.
Diving down into the trees he began to run along with the other kids while cutting down any Danger-Beasts who were unfortunate enough to meet him, he saw after a few minutes Akame and sped up and ran next to them. As expected Akame swiped at him making him dodge knowing she would see him as an enemy using her as a bait for monsters chasing him to eat, everything was simply brutal and among those killing each other was the same.
"Better keep up, the top 7 will be the ones to get into the team," said Tatsumi dashing past them being the only one not to have any monsters chasing him.
His ragged clothes weren't something simple but it was a Teigu that he called Situation Clothing: Adaptor, this Teigu is similar to Gaea Foundation of hiding as the clothing adapts to situations and covers smell, fall in the water the clothing changes to swimming gear and waterproof, hot areas like deserts will form clothes that provide plenty of air to come in and heat resistance cloth, it can also hide smell and change appearance to the users wishes and a good thing in case you have a date as it is self-repairing and cleansing.
It would take a few more days until they reached it and Tatsumi certainly didn't want to get to the 1st place, he didn't find himself the leader-type even after 200 years he held little pride. He also had to let things go smoothly right now and not change too many things like him making decisions, that alone made a great change and he now needed the trust of Akame and Kurome and he knew how to do that as insulting as his way was.
Lake.
A giant campfire was seen by a lake and giant bull-like Danger-Beast was roasted over the fire and the smell was intoxicating and attracting many eyes but a glare of Tatsumi made them back down, he had shown himself to be the Alpha meaning they had to obey and leave him alone and they simply did, the reason why he was so safe and he himself didn't eat much but waited.
'Come to papa! Luckily I found some fruit on the way to make some juice and a nice fruit salad with honey added in it!' thought Tatsumi as he held up a bowl filled with a salad and when he just finished the toppings air passed him, the bowl was gone and Tatsumi looked to his side and saw a not so cute side of Kurome who was eating the bowl empty like it was her 1st meal in years.
Slowly getting up after what seemed like her bowl was empty (He couldn't see it because...Kurome's appearance.) and grabbing his sword he was ready for a fight, he had sensed Akame hiding in the bushes and-!
*GROWL!*
...And of her stomach as well that made him almost snort if it wasn't for Kurome still appearing menacing.
"...C-!"
"C?" repeated Tatsumi confused not expecting a single word to be given only to him, but then he felt and saw it as the menacing aura around Kurome disappeared and was replaced with a pink background, flowers, and bubbles and the red glowing eyes disappeared and were replaced with a blushing cute face.
"C-Can I have another bowl?" asked Kurome cutely and imaginary arrows appeared out of nowhere and pierced Tatsumi's heart. (This guy is a sucker for cuteness, I'm not kidding at all as I read the Bonus parts of the Manga.)
"Sure," said Tatsumi handing Kurome another bowl of fruit salad along with another bowl filled with thick cuts of meat, but that was snatched by Akame, using the same face Kurome used to devour the meat into pieces and mimicked her little sister. All he could do was simply give her another bowl filled with meat not used to seeing Akame act so cute, all he did was simply taking a bite out of his food and watch the sisters amused as they were eating the roasted Danger-Beasts like little Lion Cubs.
Well, that didn't last very long as only the skeleton remained of the Danger-Beast.
"That is quite some appetite you both have, don't think any standard adult is going to beat ya soon," commented Tatsumi starting up a conversation and both girls who lied on their back with satisfied smiles opened their eyes, they felt a bit guilty for eating a well-prepared meal all by themselves and leave nothing left for him.
"S-Sorry, for having eaten your meal," apologized Kurome and she didn't expect him to wave his hand and tell them it was okay.
"No problem, that running must have left you both starved and besides I don't eat a lot," it was not completely true it was simply that his diet consisted out of meat, vegetables, fruits, and a lot of other things but just enough to feed simply 5 people since his small human stature, he was lucky he wasn't constantly in Danger-Beast form otherwise he would've made the forest life unbalanced. "My name is Tatsumi, what are yours?"
"I'm A-Akame and this is my little sister Kurome," introduced Akame the both of them as she felt no danger coming from him.
"Nice to meet you both and it is pretty much the same with you, right? Sold by your parents?" asked Tatsumi and both girls nodded but there was something else to it.
"Mommy wasn't there...but 'daddy' told us that she didn't love us at all," said Kurome with a sad tone and Tatsumi looked surprised at that, he had to go further into this but right now the girls needed some rest right now as they both were too tired, well, Akame was still alert and didn't seem to completely trust him so he decided to set up some tents and let the girls sleep.
Tatsumi sighed in slight frustration and as much as he hated to admit he did miss the joy of being alone for once, those 200 years weren't alone for physical training but also mental and intellectual and this was already throwing a lot of things in trouble of their mother being a good person? He imagined how their mother would look like and he imagined a mature-looking Akame wielding a Katana as well, dressed in black and red battle kimono and having the same cold red eyes. Ready to take down her enemies but having a clear sight of what she wanted to do and for what she did and believed to, and yet there was something about her that made her a bit different from her daughters and he didn't know what it was.
'Well, time-travel was never considered easy...better get some sleep for now,' thought Tatsumi not feeling in the mood to think constantly about this at all, Danger-Beast or not he still needed some sleep and he was woken up when he tried to go to sleep so better start now.
Alrain: So I have to remove a few things from the story to place my name on it and explain things first, I will be starting with this story and some things will be gone and some simply stay.
1st Teigu of Tatsumi:
=Situation Clothing: Adaptor.
The Teigu is similar to Gaea Foundation but only on the clothes that change its appearance and functions to adapt to the environment, it can also hide the smell, lower presence, heartbeat hiding, heat hiding, stronger control over emotions, non-existent tracks, soul sight, zero restriction movement, and it can even change into other clothing that you have seen on will. The clothing is made of a Danger-Beast that could adapt to any kind of environment similar to the Tyrant, it can't evolve but it is incredibly hard to destroy as it has a self-repairing sequence. The clothing has some form of sentience that when the wilder feels like he or she is connected to it, it will immediately make the wielder as comfortable as possible like getting overheated it will cool you down and let as much required heat escape.
Trump Card: The clothing can be manipulated at a molecular structure to prevent certain poisons from entering the wound, simply turning itself into hundreds of tiny threads to pick them up or even seal the wound with its adaption tricking the body that it is skin. With the body tricked it will make the wound heal faster thinking they are almost done, but in truth, they aren't done and simply blinded by an illusion of it and simply heal you faster without any consequences.
Weakness: It is mostly based on Stealth and Light Combat missions and not suited for Heavy-Assault-type, despite being made of an S-Class Danger-Beast it is purely suited for the Spy missions. But when it comes to those missions only the very, very skilled can grasp a single second of their presence. To mimic certain clothing or even armor (Not know by Tatsumi since he doesn't know the full potential.) one must be smart and know how it works.
So what do you think of this Teigu? I hope you like it since it is more seriously written and I have given a lot of thought about it, it is simply purely based on Assassination an article of clothing that any Assassin would want to have. Also, besides that, it doesn't seem Teigu who lasted 1000 years seem to be affected by things like corrosion or something like that.
