Chapter 1

As I was walking down the beaten road by myself, I thought of what lead to this point.

Oh but before that I should introduce myself. My name is Naruto, just Naruto. I can't remember my last name, or anything really. Well there is one other thing and it's the name of someone I supposedly knew.

The name I remember is Akame, but that's it. All I remember is her name and gender. Not how we met or what she was to me.

But back to why I'm here, in all honesty I don't know. I just woke up in the forest with only my clothes and a ring with a black gem in it.

I didn't put the ring as I had a feeling I should wait before putting on, like something was telling me it isn't the right time yet. Enough of that though, I've gone on long enough. Let's get back to me walking down the road.

-Third Person Point of View-

Naruto was just walking down the road, lost. It took him some time but he did come across other people going down the road just as he was. It was a caravan cart that only had two people in from what he could tell.

Naruto sped up to get to them faster so he could ask them if there was any towns or cities nearby. As he was about to ask for when he got close enough the ground in front of him shook before it erupted. From the spot where it happened a green dragon rose from it, an Earth Dragon to be specific.

Now let it be said that even with his loss of memories that he couldn't fight. The issue was that the dragon shocked him so he didn't have time to unsheathe his sword. Yes, he had a sword a katana to be exact.

The katana was a normal blade in all actuality as it just had a black hilt with red guard. The blade itself was slightly unique in the way that it had a line of writing on the length of the blade. It was a very light silver so the writing was in black. The sheath was a black metal sheath with a red ribbon where the blade was inserted.

Because he was shocked at the dragon he didn't have time to unsheathe the sword and defend himself. This caused him to be launched into a tree as the dragon used its claws to slash at him. As he was in the air he could faintly feel a pain on his neck before he crashed into the tree. It took him a couple seconds to regain his senses and when he did he saw the dragon was right in front of him.

Naruto realized he couldn't do anything and was probably about to die so he just closed his eyes and accepted his fate. It was in that moment he that he said sorry to anyone from his past for dying and not being able to get back to them.

After about a minute of waiting for the pain did he realize that nothing had come. Naruto opened his eyes and saw the corpse of the dragon in front of him and a boy with brown hair talking to the caravan drivers. He also noticed the sword the boy had and realize he must have killed the dragon before it could kill him.

With that Naruto stood up and walked over to the boy and tried to thank him for saving his life. The issue was when he tried to say anything all that came out of his mouth was a strangled screech. This got the boys attention and when he turned around and saw it was Naruto, he smiled.

"I see you are finally responding, I tried to get your attention for about thirty seconds but you seemed to be out of it. Also I'm sorry to say but when I saved you I noticed there was blood on your neck. I checked what it was and it seemed the dragon slashed you across the neck, I healed with my medical supplies as best I could. If I'm correct you will not be able to talk for a couple days or so," the boy said walking closer to Naruto. "Oh yes I should probably introduce myself. I'm Tatsumi and as I was on my to the Empire I saw you about to be killed by the Earth Dragon."

This made Naruto realize how lucky he was that the now named Tatsumi had showed up and saved him. While he did get injured, from what Tatsumi said he should be able to talk soon. If he hadn't come, he would have died right there.

"Also because I can tell by the direction you were heading you are on your way to the Empire capital. I wanted to know if you would like to join me as I'm also heading that way?" Tatsumi asked.

This made Naruto think, he could either join him and get to somewhere he may be able to find someone to help with his memory problem or he could decline and continue being lost. Actually it shouldn't have made him think as the answer was a no brainer.

Naruto nodded his head to tell Tatsumi yes before turning around to grab his sword as it had been knocked from his waist when he was hit by the dragon. He noticed it was on the ground near the area he had landed, so he ran over and grabbed it. He put the sheath back on his waist with it connecting to a belt loop with the ribbon. With his sword back in place he ran back over to where Tatsumi was waiting for him.

Once he back over to him the two decided to head on their way. Naruto decided to think some things over as they walked. He thought about how lucky he was Tatsumi was near enough to save him. As well as his past, he wanted to know what caused him to lose his memories and if anybody he knew was missing him. But the main thing on his mind was the name Akame. Who was she and why is her name the only one he could remember.

-Timeskip-

Naruto glared at the woman who had just tricked his traveling companion. Once the two had gotten to the Empire capital Tatsumi had told him he wanted to join the army, so the first thing they did was head to the recruitment office. Naruto decided to wait outside for Tatsumi while he tried to join the army. Naruto was sitting there waiting when the door opened and Tatsumi went flying out, the recruiter yelling for him to scram.

From what Naruto learned Tatsumi learned he would have to start off as the lowest rank and that didn't sit well with him. So he decided to try and show the recruiter he should be started off at a higher rank. Let's just say things didn't go well from what Naruto could hear.

After the failure of joining the army for Tatsumi the two went to a bar that Naruto saw and signaled to Tatsumi, and by that he grabbed Tatsumi and dragged him to it. When they got there Tatsumi was still complaining about how he showed he could to be a higher rank in the army. What neither noticed was a Blonde haired woman come up behind them and state they wanted to join the army. Tatsumi shook saying only he did and Naruto just wanted to find someone to help with his memories.

When Tatsumi said Naruto's name though the Blonde eyes widened for a split second in shock. Tatsumi didn't notice this but Naruto did and he narrowed his eyes at the woman. He couldn't say anything though as she quickly changed the topic to how she could help Tatsumi easily get into the army. This had Tatsumi basically begging for her to help and saying he would do anything.

With that, the Blonde grabbed both teens by the back of their clothes and dragged them to a table. Once their she stated that if Tatsumi bought her a couple drinks she would help him. Naruto himself started to doubt her the second she said this, but Tatsumi didn't seem to be of the same mindset. He instantly went up and bought her a couple drinks and Naruto and himself something as well.

Once she was done with her drinks she told the teen that If he gave her his money she could get him into a position higher in the army. At this he instantly pulled out his bag of gold coins and handed them to her. This made Naruto start to glare at her as she picked up the money and walked away.

Naruto looked over to Tatsumi and saw him smiling up a storm. This made him just sigh as even though he was without his memories he still knew he had just been scammed. Naruto just stood up and grabbed Tatsumi by the pack of his jacket and dragged him out of the bar they were in. Naruto just ignored the complaints that Tatsumi made about having to wait for the blonde to come back.

When they were out he let go of him and waited for him to look at himself. Tatsumi was still complaining until he saw the face his companion was making, a look that promised pain if he didn't be quiet. At this action Naruto smiled to himself before getting serious again. After a minute of thinking at what to do he made a face at what he decided upon.

"S-she tricked you, idiot," Naruto said very quietly as he had to force himself to talk. This made him grab his throat in pain because his voice still wasn't healed, but at least he learned he could talk very quietly with not much pain.

When Tatsumi heard this, he looked at Naruto in shock for two reasons. One that he was able to talk so soon and the other reason was he was wondering why he said that. It took him a second to realize it, but when he did he started panicking. He just gave away all his money and had nothing to show for it. After a couple seconds he realized something else, if Naruto knew he was being tricked why didn't he say anything.

"But wait, if you knew she was tricking me why didn't you say anything. You could have stopped this whole mess before it even began," Tatsumi said walking over to Naruto.

"For one I didn't realize I could speak with relatively low pain to myself and also because I didn't realize it until it was too late to stop her," he responded quietly.

This caused Tatsumi to throw his arms up into the air before sitting down violently and putting his back to the wall behind him. He then put his face into his for a few minutes. When he did look up he saw Naruto leaning against the wall of the bar waiting for him. He was about to get up when a carriage slowed down to stop in front of him.

Tatsumi was about to move around when he heard a female voice from the carriage.

"Hello are you and your companion in need of a place to stay. I saw you two talking when the other boy went over there to wait for you to get up," the female voice said.

He was about to respond when the person talking exited the carriage, three guards following her. He couldn't help but blush when he saw her as to him she looked very pretty. He was about to respond when Naruto decided to walk over to him and look at him.

"Ah your companion I presume. Well now that your both within hearing distance of me I can ask the question I meant to ask you both."

This made both boys look at the girl curiously as she smiled at them both. Naruto was about to respond when he remembered his couldn't talk normally yet. This caused him to look at Tatsumi expecting to answer for them.

"Alright we might as well listen to your question, not like we anything else to do," Tatsumi responded to the girl. This made the girl smile, causing Tatsumi to blush again, but Naruto didn't blush as in his opinion she wasn't all that attractive.

"Well I noticed you were both sitting there, well standing in your companion's case. To me it seemed you both had nowhere to stay as by the look of your clothes and way you seemed ready to just sleep there. And I couldn't for the life of me let to people just sleep out in the cold."

This made Tatsumi smile as it seemed his luck was beginning to look up for once since he entered the city. He looked over and saw Naruto seemed to like the idea of having somewhere to stay.

"I wanted to ask if you two wanted to stay at my home for the night."

Tatsumi looked like he was about to accept when a thought crossed his mind. Why would someone who seems to be a noble ask to two random strangers to stay the night.

"We both accept but first I want to ask a question. Why would someone who seems to be a noble ask to two random people she has never seen before to stay at her house?" Tatsumi asked the girl.

It wasn't the girl who answered but one of the guards. "Lady Aria can't stand to see people suffer and likes to help whenever she can. There really is no point in questioning it kid," the guard says before look at the now named Aria and speaking. "Also I'm sorry Lady Aria for interrupting you, I will take whatever punishment you see fit."

"Oh it is no trouble I was going to say about the same thing. And to you two, it is exactly as he says I love to help people whenever I can," Aria said to first the guard, then turning to Naruto and Tatsumi. She looked at the two and saw that Tatsumi saw nothing wrong with the answer she gave, but when she looked at Naruto she saw for a split second a look of disbelief. It didn't last long so she thought she imagined it and looked back at Tatsumi.

"Alright are you two ready to go now because I need to hurry back home," Aria said getting the attention of Tatsumi. Naruto she didn't need to worry about as he was watching her as she spoke.

Tatsumi looked at Naruto and he did the same and they both nodded and followed the girl who let them have a place to sleep. It was about two hours after they joined Aria at her home and Tatsumi was asleep and Naruto was finishing 'talking' Aria and her family. Because he couldn't talk Arias' mother gave him a notepad so he could write to people until his voice came back.

"Well Naruto it seems to be getting late and I think you should head to sleep as you and your friend need to get on early to find a source of work," Arias' father said as he got up. Naruto had 'conversed' with him and Arias' mother the better part of two hours because Tatsumi went to sleep almost instantly.

'Alright and thank you for the two rooms and letting us sleep here' Naruto wrote out before showing the notepad to the man.

This got a laugh out of the man that didn't last long before he answered. "Oh it is no problem; Aria isn't the only who likes to help people in need."

'I had a feeling because Aria had to get it from somewhere. Well good night and once again thank you for the rooms.'

With showing him that and getting another laugh from the man, Naruto went off to his room. Once he got there though he didn't go to sleep as he had too much to think on. Why did they let them stay, what was put in the food he was given as he saw Arias' mother put something in the food, and why for the life of him did he feel like his life was going to change tonight?
