~Sigh~ 'The world changes the technology advances but war stays the same...' Akame looks up at the moon in the night sky she sings Moonlight by Sora Amamiya and You and Beautiful world by Hanatan.
"Am I even deserving of love? Am I worthy of your love? Tsunade... Do you even know... What I've become?" Akame asks out loud. All around her are just corpses of Hidden Stone and Hidden Lightning Shinobi... She herself is bathed in so much blood that it turned her black armor even darker as if the armor was drinking every last drop.
-The world is cruel... It doesn't have to be ugly... Life without love is just that... It's ugly... My Demon Queen... Love is a necessity not just for humans but for demons as well... To deny ourselves from such a thing is when we are truly dead... Love... Is the purest form of power we demons can draw from... When we have someone we do not want to lose we can transcend our limits in a very exaggerated manner... When someone threatened my wife... I jumped three tiers in power if only temporarily...
But when love is a huge part of a demon's life is when they can burst with immense power... I'm not saying fall in love just for a power boost that you can use whenever but just know that it's there... The Ability is called A Demon's Heart... We can jump tiers once a day and lay waste to our enemies... I lost this ability when my wife died... Only when she died in my arms did I understand the significance this ability has on a demon... I was once a Tier 1 long ago so very long ago... But when I lost her I lost much of my power... The current demons are too afraid to form real attachments due to this without realizing that it cost them their power anyway...- Ansel walks beside his Demon Queen while talking.
"Is there a way to keep our power if we do lose our other half?" Akame stops in her tracks and asks this question making Ansel grimace.
-Only Demon Kings or Queens do not lose their power when this happens... They simply... Stop caring about anything and exhibit self-destructive tendencies... Demon Kings go completely insane... But Queens they... Deal with their loss by harming people for the littlest things... A person could accidentally drop a cup and she would simply cut off the arm that dropped it... Demon Queens turn to cruelty to ease their pain by inflicting it on others... Either way, it's just madness in different forms... I sincerely hope that you don't end up this way...-
"Enough about that... Anyway, I wonder why Sebas wanted to go to the Fire Capital... He said something about a despicable Daimyo... I hope he doesn't do anything excessive to the ruler of the land of fire... Our village wouldn't be able to handle it despite it being the one that has the most combat power... It's the capital and the civilians that support a Ninja's livelihood... Money truly makes the world go round and without it... Well, I don't want to think about it...
uh oh... Please Sebas don't slap the hell out of the ruler of the land of fire I beg you... I know the current Daimyo is scum but his son is actually a good person... Just wait for that old thing to die Sebas I beg you..." Akame starts to have a small breakdown since she knows Sebas's character very well and if he visits the current Daimyo that would be a recipe for disaster.
//// Meanwhile with Sebas...
~Pow Pow Pow Pow~ Slaps that are hard enough to knock teeth out make their way across the face of the 50-year-old Daimyo over and over.
"You bastard! Do you even know who I am?" The old Daimyo roars.
"A mere fool nothing more... Just like the last one... For heaven's sake what an awful sight!" Sebas kills the Daimyo and saves all the women.
"..." The 25-year-old man who was the Daimyo's son witnessed his father's death and couldn't formulate any words. At the end that scum was still his father and he may not have had any love for him... But he couldn't help but shed some tears anyway... Blood ties are indeed strong...
Even if you didn't love the person who was your parent you will still cry that they are gone... Even in Akame's past life, she cried when her parent's died even though she hated them to the bones... It's an instinctive reaction to losing a family member by blood... You can hate them all you want but in the end, they were too related by blood.
"Rule well boy! Otherwise, I will be back and you will suffer the same end!" Sebas vanished with all the women... He teleported them to wherever they came from and he smiled at the family reunions as a result of his actions... Each family thanked him profusely.

'I need to get there and fast! Faster... I need to run faster!' Akame arrives just in the nick of time and body slams Tobirama away and gets a fist through her chest... If she weren't immortal this would be a mortal wound and she would die within a matter of moments.
"Annihilation Edge!" Akame's sword strike cut through Kinkaku's Lightning Armor as if it were paper and cut deeply into him.
"What sorcery is this!?" Kinkaku sees himself turning into ash slowly... First, his skin disappeared then his bones and finally, he was gone.
"Brother! You bitch I will kill you!" Ginkaku was about to strike Akame who had her back turned but Tobirama despite only having one arm now managed to impale Ginkaku through the chest with his Flying Raijin strike... Instead of a cut, he opted for impalement.
Akame kicked Ginkaku away and started using Mystical Palm Medical Ninjutsu... She stopped the bleeding and started bandaging Tobi's wound.
"I thought I was a goner for sure..." Tobirama looks up at the sky which is twinkling with many stars and endures the pain.
"Not if I have any say in the matter... I felt a disturbance in the Chakra of the world... I followed the ripples only to find you were about to die and already lost an arm... I suggest learning how to create hand seals with one hand from now on..." Akame's hair that was covering her expression was moved out of the way revealing hot tears flowing down her face making Tobirama use his remaining hand to pat her head.
"It's okay... I'm here... I'm not going anywhere... Besides I'm not the Hokage anymore... Hiruzen is..." Tobirama smiles while giving Akame much-needed head pats.
"Damn right you aren't going anywhere! I'm not letting you die in this damn Forest!" Akame growls.
"Hey! This is a good forest you know? My little brother created it! GAHAHAHAHA! Ow ow ow..." Tobirama started acting like a jolly old man and when he laughed it caused some pain.
" I'm just glad I made it in time... let us go home, Tobi..." Akame holds out her hand and Tobirama grasps her forearm she does the same and they both walk in the direction of Konoha.
"Looks like negotiations broke down... Guess the Hidden Cloud needs a new Raikage..." Tobirama grimaces because, after this whole fiasco, Konoha and Kumo will be enemies for many generations to come... He glances at the body of the second Raikage that died and his entire escort while there are no Konoha Shinobi that died... It won't matter if Konoha explains because Kumo won't believe a word.
"ugh... What a total shit-storm..." Akame wanted to prevent this very thing but got here too late to stop the coup d'état but at least she saved her friend from his original fate.
To be continued...
