Chapter 4

Several months have passes since the Squad began Assasination Missions.

After we left the mountains that I grew up in, we now conduct assassinations with the northern empire as their base of Operations.

"Thanks to Akame and Tsukushi, the sabatini circus group has been eliminated" says Gozuki

I looked at the group and saw that all of them are concentrated on the words of "Father" in the last months we did a few Assassination Missions together till now we didn`t fail any mission.

As I was in my thought Gozuki explained the next Target.

"Your next Target is Ragiri, viceroy of Rakurou Castle. He is conspiring with the northern Nation."

"He`s a big Target"

"Use the Experience that you`ve gained and eliminate him yourselves!"

"Understood" said the Chief as he watches us and explained how we will infiltrate the Castle.

Timeskip to Rakurou Castle Inner city.

"ey Najasho, this is boring as hell."

"Why can`t we just storm the castle at Night?"

I heard Guy complain as we just sit around and do nothing while the girls infiltrate the Castle.

I look at him with a provocate smile and say "Guy you still didn`t learn that we do things in Secret?" "I can help you to learn it mh hehe"

Najasho reads his Book as he heard us bicker "Shut up Idiots. We are on a mission if you want to fight do it later."

as we talk Green comes to us in his Butler uniform "the castle is rigged with traps, since the viceroy is doing something as dangerous as selling out the empire."

"That looks good at you Green"

I looked at him digusted and said : "Now that you dont get Cora you try it at Green"? pff as I laugh

Guy stands up and walks to me and "says mhh does our little virgin has a problem? Do I need to teach you something little boy"

Najasho looks annoyed as he says "Idiots, don`t forget the reason we`re here."

"humph"

"We know that is to infiltrate the city and gather Intel but its just soo boring can`t we do another Mission if we aren`t needed here?"

Later at the evening the girls came back and told us how long it takes to gather Information.

Just as we talk Akame came in "I`ve been keeping an Eye on the Viceroy`s Horse in the stables. They`re about to go Hunting."

All of us went into Mission-mode as we move to the viceroy and hide behind trees as we listen to him.

"Where are the Prey?! Wasn`t there supposed to be a herd of ragurou bambi?" as Viceroy Ragiri exlaimed another middle-aged man said "My Aplogies, Sir! We`re looking for them as hard as we can...

As they talk Chief gives Tsukushi the command to shoot with her Shigu instant as she shoots the Viceroy died with a Headshot through his Head.

"What!? Lord Ragiri?!"

"Lord Ragiri!!"

"You useless scum! You just watched him die!"

Capturing the assasin is our first priority!"

"The bullet came from that direction!"

As the guards talked another group that had hoodies on their head thought "the smell of gunpowder is coming from the opposite Direction?"

As Tsukushi shootet we ran already far away to escape.

I listen to them as I get close to Najasho and say "By the way, Chief when are we going to take care of them?"

"Good so you all noticed already. I was going to give a lecture to any idiots who didn`t"

"Turn around we´re going to eliminate the pursuers"

Instantly as he said that I summon my Knifes with a smile on my face as I thought hopefully a good fight

"Damn brats... how dare you embarrass us on our guard duty."

If you have no intentions of leading us to your hideout, then we will get the information by Force. We`ll grind the mastermind and its whereabouts out of you."

Just as they talked to us I already run forward with Akame in my back as I cut in the throat of 2 of them.

SLASH

Tsukushi shoots with her Pistol one down,

BOOM

as Akame cuts 2 of them down,

SLASH

Duy trashes one of them as he comes up from the earth,

SNAP

Poney killed one with her Feed full power on the head as the head explodes

BOOM

Cornelia just exploded with her Shingu in front of one as she smashed one Heart of one of the assassins

the last one got our Chief as he came from behind as he slashes with his Sword through the heart from the last Assassin.

As we killed all of them I look at guy and say "What`s wrong, gai?"

"When I killed a man for the first time, I had this weird unsettling feeling."

"But now I don`t feel anything. I wonder what that weird feeling was."

"So even the stupid Gai has thinks he thinks about?" as Poney says with a cheeky smile.

"I don`t wanna be called stupid by the likes of you"

--------------------------------------------

"Mission complete! Well Done! I didn`t think you`d finish him this fast!" as Gozuki says that as he strokes Tsukushi and poney`s head with a smile.

As he said that I thought what happens in the next Mission.. We will meet the assassins of Ourburgh.

Ourburgh is an assassination group for hire. They have been involved in many assassinations throughout history and were hired by the Revolutionary army to eliminate the Elite Seven.. Now with me we are Eight.. I smile as I thought how to smash Ourburgh just as I wanted to think about the members of the team I hear Guy say

"Bring on the next one! What bad guy do we need to kill next?"

..."Don`t get so Cocky. That goes especially for you Guy and Hiro"

"The outside nations and the revolutionary armies must know about you by now, and will probably make a counter-move soon. They`ll want to do something about "the imperial Assassins that lurk in the Shadows."

As I heard him talk about that i mumble "So Even the Hunter will eventually be Hunted, huh."

"Yeah you`ll soon have to fight against those like you. Groups that operate in the Shadows are best dealt with by others such groups."

"Just like those Guys that pursued us this time" exclaimed Poney.

"They must`ve been spies from the northerners who were sent to protect their Information pipelin, Ragiri."

"No wonder they were able to follow us" as Green said that he appeared to be in deep thought.

"So you understand right?"

"Realize that the difficulties of your Jobs will jump dramatically."

"The target itself could be a trap."

"keep your focus, and don`t let your guard down until the mission is completely over!"

-----------------------------

Timeskip

Northeastern area of the Empire, near the Border Hakurou River.

"Today is the day I surpass you, Cora!" as Poney said that she tries to kick Cornelia away with her feed as she hold her arms but the instant she tries to hold on Cornelia changes her Hands in the different side and hits her full in the stomach

BFFT!

"Okay, the winner is Cornelia! Amazing as always!"

"The Champion of the All-Girls grappling contest is Cora!"

"Ugh... If only I could hit her."

As they play around with each other I sit beside Najasho and was in deep thought as I thought about Oarburgh.. Shit I can`t remember anything about them.. Just that they kidnapped Akame and Kurome but nothing else.. SHIT.. But I know that someone will die to them.. As I thought about the Situation Najasho looked at me and said

"What`s wrong? You have been like that for a while now"

"It`s nothing"

as I stand up and walk away my Smile faded I should get something like a Book to read.. I dont have anything to do in this world aside to Fight and right now im not in the mood to do so.. I thought as I stand up and walk in the Town to search for a book store.

As I walked back to the Town the other watched me through one of their eyes "What`s wrong with him? said Poney as Guy said "That dude doesn`t even want to fight anymore i am going after him to ask" "let him be maybe he is jut a bit moody that he isn`t in the mountains anymore where he can kill a few beasts" said Gozuki as he looked at the kids

"Okay Father"

"Mhm"

"Tzk that battle Junkie"

As they play in the water with each other I bought a book and came back as I sat beside Najasho and began to read a mistery novel.

Najasho looked at me with a smile "Woow I didn`t know that you would ever read. Who are you? What have you done with Hiro"

I just "tzk" at him as I read my book.

Somewhere later Najasho said to Gozuki

"Are you sure we should be relaxing like this father?"

The Targets are going to cross this river, right?"

"When they get close, we`ll be notified. There`s no point getting impatient."

"But we might be standing out too much."
