Why doesn't she like me? Tactics, Nightmare and Lonely Akame.
"Grandpa why is she so mean to me!? Why doesn't she like me? It feels as if she hates me..." Tsunade hiccups with tears falling down her face.
"Tsunade she doesn't hate you. You have to understand that her life has been one misfortune after another... She had no parents or any family to take care of herself she had to fend for herself since she was four. I think she just doesn't like people who are more fortunate than her. I don't know her personally so this is all just from my observation. Tsunade do you know who her grandfather is?"
"I don't know... What does her grandfather have to do with why she doesn't like me?" Tsunade tilts her head cutely not understanding why her grandpa brings this up.
"Tsunade her grandfather is Madara Uchiha. He was my best friend and my rival. And I believe that you and she will become Best friends as well but also rivals. But Tsunade... Akame is already a Kage-Tier Shinobi that specializes in Kenjutsu and Genjutsu. It might take some time but I believe you can bridge the gap of power and also bridge the gap between you two. Akame has closed herself off from everyone and everything so it will be very hard to get a place in her heart but I believe you can do it if you persevere and have patience. It took a while for me to be friends with Madara too HAHAHA He was closed off but I managed to enter his heart." Hashirama becomes gloomy after the end of his speech because he remembers his final battle with Akame's grandfather.
"How can I bridge the gap when I'm clearly not as talented as her!? You basically just said she is a genius among geniuses! If that is the case I will never be able to bridge the gap of power... She will continue to grow stronger and it will feel like I'm chasing after someone that is too far away!" Tsunade is about to throw a fit.
"Tsunade! With enough hard work, you can catch up to her! Never put yourself down like that! I was not as talented as Madara but I bridged the gap by working ten times harder than everyone else. I believe you can do the same! Just tell yourself you can do it and you will fly brilliantly. Tsunade you can do it!" Hashirama smiles at Tsunade and encourages her.
Meanwhile with Akame ////
Akame teaches Sakumo all the tactics she knows of such as Raids, Ambushes, and direct assault tactics. She even shows him wolf tactics and tells him she copied them from wolves even though the credit is not hers. She also said wolf tactics can be displayed with boats. She had to draw in the sand so that he understood the wolf tactics since it won't work with just the two of them. Unknown to both of them the current Hokage Tobirama is spying on them and is astonished when he saw these tactics. If only people were around to see his wide eyes and jaw dropped.
"Do you understand now?" Akame asks with a monotone voice.
"You are a genius... These tactics could change how we fight a war entirely. Especially the Guerrilla warfare you just taught me... This could change how we fight!" Sakumo says in excitement.
"Well, I'm pretty tired now... Damn this weak body..." Akame drops to the ground unconscious. Her body simply can't handle it anymore. After she displayed all the tactics her body screamed in agony.
Sakumo panics and doesn't know what to do. Finally, Tobirama comes over and picks Akame up in princess carry style and sees her body limp from exhaustion. Tobirama couldn't help but give a small smile.
'When she is asleep she seems like any other child.' Tobirama has always liked children.
"No... Please don't hit me... I'm scared... It hurts... I don't wanna die..." Akame is talking in her sleep having a nightmare from back on Earth where she was abused by her parents. Her silent tears wet Tobirama's chest. Tobirama can tell she is asleep from breathing but her heart rate is erratic from the nightmare.
Tobirama's presence oozes out he is enraged. Completely misunderstanding what the nightmare is about and starts blaming the Uchiha for something they didn't do.
'Those evil Uchiha! Abusing such a small child! As if it wasn't enough that she was never given food or water now I hear of this!? Just you wait Uchiha!' Tobirama takes Akame back to the Sarutobi compound and gently lays her on the bed and covers her with a blanket. Akame grabs Tobirama's sleeve slowly.
"Don't go... Don't leave me... Why? Is it something I did..." Tobirama senses she is still asleep and his complexion darkens even more now that he heard this... He thinks someone was taking care of her but then abandoned her.
'If I find you... Your dead.' Tobirama gently pulls a chair and sits down until she lets go and he finally left to go back to do paperwork with a heavy heart.
Later in the evening, Akame wakes up and notices tear stains on her blank face. She goes to the bathroom and washes her face, and looks in the mirror... She doesn't like what she sees even though she asked for this. She thought she would find happiness here... But it has only been a disappointment.
She puts her maid outfit on and cleans the mansion and makes dinner. Hiruzen is on a mission and won't be back for some weeks. It's unknown how long he will be gone but Akame makes a habit of making him food as well. She notices she is all alone in this mansion.
'I'm used to this... But I still don't like it.' Akame cleans the dishes and puts Hiruzen's food in the Freezer she technically invented. Akame fears getting close to anyone as she is traumatized from being abandoned in her life like Claire.
Akame practices her swordsmanship in the dark of night with only the moon as her companion that won't ever leave her. Tsunade is spying on her with the help of her Grand Uncle Tobirama. If she was on her own she would be discovered by Akame in no time at all.
