Chapter 2

Kill the Country (国を斬る, Kuni o Kiru) is chapter two of the Akame ga Kill! manga.

Summary
A flashback of Tatsumi, Sayo and Ieyasu appeared with the three of them declaring that they'd save their village. Then the present came, with Tatsumi looking down at his two friends' graves. At that moment, Leone appeared, asking him if he made a decision on whether to join Night Raid or not. She then insists - more like forces - on showing him around the hideout.

The first person the two meet up within the hideout was Sheele, who was reading a book that said '100 ways to fix airheadedness'. Leone asks her to say some warm words to him but instead, she said a threatening sentence. At that moment, Mine barges in and exclaimed why Leone had let Tatsumi in the hideout. She responds with Tatsumi being apart of the team which Mine counters with Tatsumi having to have the boss's (Najenda) approval. She also states that Tatsumi is not qualified to work with professionals like them, judging from the way he looks. Tatsumi found that insulting and called her a punk, which she ignored.

Then Leone showed Tatsumi the training ground where they found Bulat. At first, he didn't know who the man with the spear was but when Bulat told him that he was the armored guy, Tatsumi understood. They shook hands. Leone then told Tatsumi that Bulat was gay, to which Bulat told her that Tatsumi would misunderstand. But Tatsumi was freaking out since Bulat didn't deny that he was a homo.

Then it appears with Lubbock hiding by the bushes, hoping to see Leone naked at the hot spring. He was then caught by Leone and was threatened to have his fingers and arm broken. She then introduces Lubbock to Tatsumi. Straight after, the two head to the riverbed where Akame was.

Once they arrived, Tatsumi was shocked to see that Akame had caught an Evil Bird and was eating it. Akame gave Leone a piece of the meat but didn't for Tatsumi because he wasn't one of them yet. And surprising both Leone and Tatsumi, they found that Najenda was there too. Leone was punished for going over the operation by Najenda. She then asked who Tatsumi was and Leone responded with her recommending her to accept him into the group.
