Danzo, Misunderstanding, Stumble, Cheat existence, Cynical and two reincarnations

Akame starts her morning cleaning and sends a blank stare at Hiruzen's room.

'I didn't know he was like a college student leaving booze bottles everywhere not putting his dirty clothes where they should be... He comes back at night with friends and parties till three in the morning... It would seem Danzo isn't corrupt yet... He is surprisingly adorkable and always the guy that cracks jokes... Who would have thought that Danzo was like that in his youth... I always hated his character when I watched the show. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone when I see him as he is now.' Akame is done cleaning and is now making extra breakfast since Hiruzen has his friends over.

"mmm smells great! Hey, little Akame why don't you work for me instead!" Danzo sends a wink at Akame making her feel disgusted but it doesn't show on the outside.

"No way Danzo! She is my maid!" Hiruzen throws his arms in the air comically and stomps his feet clearly messing around. Akame walks away after eating her breakfast and decides to go to the Hokage rock since she loves singing when she is back on earth. It was the only way for her to get her bottled-up emotions out. It was very therapeutic as her bottled-up emotions disappeared after she sang her heart out.

She sees no one is near the Hokage rock and finally uses her chakra to create instruments. She started to sing One day too late by Skillet. Unknown to her Hashirama his wife Mito and Tsunade just arrived the moment she started singing. Akame already in her own world doesn't notice them. Tsunade starts crying because she can feel the emotions in Akame's voice and can already see what the song is actually about. Hashirama being the man he is becomes a sobbing mess with snot coming out of his nose.

'It's about making the most of each moment because tomorrow might be one day too late...' Tsunade captures the meaning of the song and cries.

'How much did this child have to suffer to create a song like this? Children shouldn't sing about such things they should be free and happy and play outside not sing songs like this...' Hashirama wonders just what this child had to go through to sing something like this. Of course, he wouldn't know these songs were not created by her and were just music she listened to back on Earth.

Before the trio could clap Akame starts to sing Nobody's home by Avril Lavigne. Mito feels like something inside her break. So did Tsunade and Hashirama... Such sorrowful lyrics should never be sung by such a young child...

Tsunade once again catches the meaning of the song... 'She has no home... And she is broken inside...' It is indeed true she doesn't have a home. In Akame's mind, the place she resides at right now is just a place to work not live it's just a job nothing more it is no home of hers.

Mito finally breaks down crying and wails a little after the song ended. Akame's attention is drawn and clicks her tongue. Akame jumps off the Hokage rock and uses chakra to help her land only she lost her footing a little and now has a swollen ankle.

'Curse this body! If I wasn't so malnourished I wouldn't have stumbled!' Akame limps to her workplace. Tsunade ran as fast as she could and saw the swollen foot and then sees Akame go into the Sarutobi Clan compound. Hashirama picks Tsunade up to go follow since he too is curious. They arrive to see Akame limping with a maid outfit on and cleaning the kitchen that is now dirty from the fools that ate here.

Hashirima comes in and grabs her shoulder only for Akame to summon Murasame along with her Shalltear mask that is now on her face she swings the sword known as one hit Mursame at Hashrima and then uses a Genjutsu called Mugetsu but Hashirama cracks it in no time and sees Murasame too close to his face for his liking and manages to dodge in time. Hashirama grabs both wrists with one hand lifts Akame up and heals her swollen ankle and then puts her back down.

'He is way too powerful! What a damn cheat-like existence!' Akame complains inside her mind.

'She is way too powerful for a child! She is already a Kage-Tier ninja just from that display alone! Also what is with that sword? My instincts were crying out telling me to avoid it at all costs!' Hashirama sweats internally. Of course, he wouldn't know that a single cut even very shallow ones would mean his doom but his instincts warned him to never get cut by that blade and so he lives.

"Why are you here... No scratch that... Get out. I'm trying to earn my keep so stop bothering me."Akame says in a monotone voice. Akame thinks his kindness is nothing more than an act of mere hypocrisy. No one is kind because everyone who does a good deed expects something in exchange this is her belief.

'Ugh, such brutal bluntness...' Hashirama grimaces at the brutal bluntness of Akame's words.

"Why are you so rude to my Grandpa!? He was just trying to be nice!" Tsunade cries out in outrage.

"Acts of kindness are nothing more than hypocrisy... People who do kind deeds want something in return. It's like currency it just passes from one person to another. I'm busy trying to earn a living so go away and don't disturb me." Akame goes back to cleaning the dishes after sending a gaze of indifference toward Tsunade.

"That's not true! I'll make you eat your words one day! You... You... You mean Cynic! Dummy dummy dummy!" Tsunade who is 8 years old wants to prove Akame wrong but also is a child who can't express herself properly so she calls Akame dumb. Tsunade runs off with no clear destination.

Hashirama gives a bitter smile and walks away with sagging shoulders feeling gloomy. He only has about 5 years left to live and in his final years, he encounters his friend's granddaughter who turned into a cynic. Of course, he knows who Akame is and he blames himself for not stopping the Uchiha.

His life was extended with pills an unknown man gave him. The man promised that the pills would extend his life but in exchange, his soul is the price. Hashirama figured if he can spend even a little more time with his family it would be worth it. In the back of his mind, he also thinks what he did was impulsive.

How will the mysterious reincarnation react when he sees Akame? A man that can see souls and devour them to empower himself what will he see when he sees Akame's soul? Will he see hell or heaven?
