Akame brings Murasame up intending to end the poor girl with one savage strike with the purpose of not even leaving her an intact body only for Akame to drop to her knee and clutch her shoulder trying to prevent blades from popping out of her body. Akame hastily takes her scroll out and devours a human heart in three bites. The blades recede and Akame emits a dangerous amount of Miasma...
"..." Akame silently stares at the assassin and the assassin gulps some saliva while looking anywhere but at Akame.
"Are... Are you okay?" Kazumi couldn't help but ask due to her kind nature. Akame feels like she is looking at something too bright and looks away.
"..." Akame doesn't even know what to say to this naive girl... Akame tilts her head and then summons Murasame and sheathes it while walking away.
'A kind person isn't going to last long in this world... Unless that person is Naruto... This world is going to chew her up and spit her out... There is a time and place for kindness... Something she doesn't understand...' Akame walks in the direction of the land of fire.
"Why do you keep following me?" Akame stops at the border of the land of fire.
"... I have nowhere else to go... I figured I could land on my feet in Konoha... Maybe open up a bakery..." Kazumi by nature dislikes conflict and wants a peaceful life and doesn't even want to be there on that suicide mission.
Akame snorts in amusement "Ha...HAHAHAHA! ... A bakery huh? In case you forgot... The war just ended... The Hokage would list you as a spy and decisively execute you... He knows the Mitsuti Naito Clan very intimately... and he would recognize your night-black hair and eyes from a mile away..." Akame squints at the girl.
'Hiruzen right now is decisive young and brash... But once he is older I have no doubt that he will be too soft to do anything just like he was in the anime... Right now he is using aggressive tactics... And he would kill this naive girl where she stood...' Akame sighs.
"I am willing to be monitored 24/7 if that makes it better?" Kazumi scratches the back of her head with a sheepish smile.
Akame balks at the girl's gutsy suggestion... 'She is way too Naive!... There should be a limit to how fucking clueless someone can be...' Akame shakes her head and continues walking.
"Sure... But just know I won't save your sorry ass if the Monkey decides to off you..." Akame was silent the rest of the journey.

"Let me get this straight... You brought an assassin straight into Konoha because you deemed her not a threat..." Hiruzen inhales while pinching his nose.
'I'm only a little over two decades older than Akame and she is already making me feel like I'm hitting my 60s... This damn demon is going to be the death of me!' Hiruzen starts to massage his temples.
"Akame you know I trust you... I trust you with my life... But this is just taking it too far... No sane person will willingly guide an assassin who tried to take their life into their home... So I! have! To! Know! Is she truly not a threat!" Hiruzen glares at Akame who just returns his glare with an uninterested face.
"No... I've had ample time to test her... She is not a threat and I would go so far as to call her a pacifist... She wants to open a fucking Bakery and make cookies Hiruzen... A seasoned Shinobi such as myself can tell if she is being sarcastic... No... She truly just wants to open a fucking Bakery..." Akame sends a deadpan gaze at the sheepish girl who is currently a nervous wreck.
Akame understands this as well as Hiruzen on how ludicrous it sounds.
"She also seems to be some type of new species too... My Miasma didn't turn her completely into a demon... She is more like a half-demon... So... I guess I fucked up huh?" Akame shrugs.
Hiruzen's glare disappeared only for his expression to turn slack-jawed then sighed.
"I liked it better when you were an emotionless doll..." Akame flinches at his words but it was concealed quickly. War was not kind to Akame... She has seen so much death that she snarks and acts like a wise ass to deal with the pain.
"Sorry just afraid what your seeing is a part of the package now" Akame smirks.
"Great how lucky for me am I right?" Hiruzen snarks.
'Akame is already consumed by the curse of Hatred but it is her unmatched willpower and her bonds that keep her rooted... If she had no one I believe she would be the next Madara...She is truly admirable... She turned a curse into a source of power for the good of Konoha...'
"Well, I'ma go see my sister and lovely pack members... See ya around Hiruzen!" Akame jumped through the window.
"Ugh... What a headache..." Hiruzen gets back to doing his paperwork...
"Oh by the way! I have a question to ask..." Akame jumps back through the window startling Hiruzen.
"What?" Hiruzen puts a hand on his chest.
"Why don't you use shadow clones to help you with your paperwork?" Akame leaves and hears the curses of a sailor that echo out of the Hokage building.

'Hiruzen... Your team of Genin is going to participate in the Chunin exams in a week... Tsunade... Would you even recognize me as I am now?' Akame goes to Yakiniku for some lunch.
"Whoa... Mama look it's the Sword Goddess! I want to be just like her when I grow up!" a little girl that is attending the Academy said so innocently...
'No you don't...' Akame grimaces.
Akame waves at the little girl with a kind smile...
"The usual Ma'am..." Akame sits down and eats alone in peace while hearing all of the people gossiping about her. Saying she is a hero and the kids that admire her.
A little girl came up to her with a Manga she drew... It's the Ancient Magus Bride...
"Can I please have your autograph?" The little girl looks at Akame with upturned eyes.
'Mother of all cute puppies!' Akame swoons at the girl's cuteness. The girl is an Inuzuka.
"Of course! Anything for a loyal Fan!" Akame writes her name on the last page of the book. And many other kids and adults came over for an autograph for different Manga and different Light Novels.
"Lady Akame Hokage-Sama asks for your presence" The Anbu body flickers away after saying what needs to be said.
'Ugh... It's probably about the Chunin Exams' Akame gets up after signing the last Manga called Konoha Ghoul.
