"What now Hiruzen?" Akame slams the door open with an emotionless face obviously not at all amused with these back-to-back missions.
Akame like any other person has a breaking point and she has been doing A and S rank missions with very little downtime. She just got back from her last S-Rank mission which was to kill the 2nd Tsuchikage which helped end the 1st Shinobi world war it's the reason why she is hailed as a Hero.
"A-Ahem... You will be a proctor for the Chunin Exams... Consider it thanks for all the hard work... At least you won't be doing any missions for the foreseeable two months" Hiruzen's lips are twitching.
"I get it... If I'm a Proctor it will deter the other Villages from doing any sneaky business while in Konoha right?" Akame nods.
'Which means I got a 2-month vacation! Hiruzen I find you slightly more tolerable now... And if they know I'm in the village it will stop the other Hidden Villages from trying anything...' Akame smirks internally.
"Thanks for the Vacation old man..." Akame waves as she walks away.
"I'm only 39!" Hiruzen throws a book at her retreating back only for it to hit nothing since she body-flickered away.
Akame took a page out of a certain Chaos God's book... A little note lands in Hiruzens lap it read as...
------------
~The normal life expectancy for a Shinobi is 40... You're old... Denial changes nothing...~
------------
Hiruzen breathes fire onto the note turning it into ash.
"AKAME!!!!!" Hiruzen's roar echoed across the village.
///
"AKAME!!!!!" Hiruzen's roar is heard across the whole village.
"HAHAHAHA!" Akame body flickers so fast that she leaves after images that stay for a solid three seconds before disappearing.
'I didn't think he would actually be angry... When it happens to me I just question life and my own existence but instead, he just gets angry...' Akame arrives at Training Ground 7.
Akame draws upon her Lightning Chakra and focuses it on her palm... and whispers... "Chidori..." She created this technique decades before it should ever appear. Kakashi can't complain if he isn't even born yet.
Akame runs as fast as she can and aims the Chidori at a tree. ~Boom~
"So coooool!" Akame turns her head and smirks. Akame already knew that the kid was there and also knows she is just an Uchiha brat but not just any brat... It's Mikoto Uchiha...
'By the looks of it, she just turned four or maybe five... This means Fugaku is also four or five... Man... She kept herself very well maintained if she looked like she did in the anime... This means she was in her late 30s by the time Sasuke was born... Timelines are certainly interesting... The timelines before Canon started were vague as fuck man...' Akame smirks.
"Mikoto stay away from that thing..." A woman takes her child by the hand and leads her away making Akame frown.
"But Mama!"
"No buts missy you can't go near it... It's not human..." Mikoto tilts her head cutely not understanding what her mommy is saying. Akame shakes her head.
'At first, they hated me for just being born as a half-breed but now they hate me because they know I'm no longer human... I guess it's easier to hate something that isn't human...' Akame walks away.
"Hey kid..." Akame asks for Mikoto's attention.
"What do you want with my, daughter!?" Three tomoe Sharingan glare at Akame.
"You have lightning nature don't you?" Akame smirks.
"Yeah," Mikoto nods.
"Just so you know the Chidori is an incomplete Jutsu... Its final form is called Raikiri... If you want to learn Raikiri... First master Chidori... Ushi, Oo, Saru, Tatsu, Ne, Tori, Ushi, Mi, Inu, Tora, Saru" Chidori chirps to life after the final hand sign.
"Consider it a gift for saying that it's cool... Later" Akame waves her hand as she walks away not noticing the conflicted look on the mother's face.
On one hand, Akane is grateful that Akame has imparted such a powerful jutsu to her daughter but on the other hand, she really dislikes Akame for all of the times she verbally lashed the Uchiha Clan. Akane doesn't hate Akame but she doesn't like her either.

"Are you sure it was wise to teach such a powerful Jutsu to that child My Queen?" An Anbu arrives behind Akame. It was one of the Frost fire duo who became her right-hand subordinate.
"It's fine Hanako... I've decided to make her my Student later when she becomes a Genin... She has great potential but the Uchiha will Squander it without a doubt..." Akame takes a pocket watch out and sees it's three o'clock.
'Knowing the Uchiha they will definitely Squander it... The Uchiha could be so much more... They could be like my Queen if they only stopped their biased thinking...The Uchiha curse of Hatred is a sickness that is sapping their potential... My Queen is also consumed by the curse of Hatred but she uses it for the betterment of her people and this village...' Hanako grimaces behind her Anbu mask.
"My willpower is unmatched... The curse of Hatred grants great power but it comes at a cost... Only someone with an Iron Will can use this curse as I do... I hope that child never succumbs to this curse... I know what you are thinking... How can I know your thoughts so clearly? The answer is in your veins..." Akame walks away.
'I constantly struggle with the curse... Being a demon and an Uchiha does me no favors... It takes everything I have to prevent my hatred and despair from consuming this world... If It consumes me I would become just like my Grandfather. My willpower is the only thing that prevents me from becoming someone like Madara... Obito... Or Sasuke. They became consumed by the darkness...' Akame looks up at the blue sky.
"Akame!" Tsunade crashes into Akame and hugs her and goes in for a kiss. Akame frowns but allows Tsunande's lips to touch hers. Akame sighs with slight contentment.
'She accepts me with all my flaws... Even as darkness so ugly shrouds me... She still treats me the same way... She... Is my light... Tsunade... You love me even after all of the atrocities I've committed... The unspeakable horrors I've done to the other Hidden Villages... And the dark powers I let myself drown in...' Akame hugs Tsunade back and takes the initiative to kiss her for once instead of letting it happen.
"...I love you..." Akame moves Tsuande to tears since it's the first time she has ever said those three words... Words that Tsunade has been waiting to hear for three years. Some of the spider lilies turn back into red roses within Akame's mindscape.
