SS-Rank

"Man, standards have dropped." Akame had a speechless look on her face when Baki said that they couldn't find the Akatsuki duo.

"The Cold War ended a year after you went into a coma. There has been no fighting among the great nations. And due to this time of peace... well you get the idea." Kakashi rubbed his silver hair.

"So the generation after ours is weaker than us huh? That's a damn shame. Has Konoha truly become so weak?" Akame sighed sadly.

"..." Naruto frowned as he thought about it.

"Like you said, times change." Anko smiled sadly and then hugged Akame from behind and bit her girlfriend's neck a little. Akame leaned into it with a content look.

"wa-wa-wa What are you two doing!?" Naruto covered his face and peeked through his fingers with a blush on his face.

"HAHAHA! So innocent! It's not strange kid. There are many gay couples in Konoha it's just they are more... reserved and don't show affection in public. Even Kakashi here is gay he just hasn't found someone yet." Anko laughed.

"Ah-ah Bisexual. But yeah, I lean more towards men." Kakashi rolled his one visible eye.

"How about Guy?" Akame wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

"I'm fine being friends with him but... Anything else may give me an aneurysm daily." Kakashi rolled his eyes again and went back to reading his smut book.

"Gak... Ugh, Kakashi-Sensei! I don't wanna hear this anymore!" Naruto made a strange face.

"Heh," Akame gave Naruto a "I'm better" look which made the Jinchurikki bare his teeth.

"Stop picking on the kid. Which reminds me... Aren't you technically a 16-year-old in an adult body?" Kakashi chuckled.

"Shows what you know. I was entirely aware of everything that was happening in Konoha for those ten years. You do not want to know what an out-of-body experience is like..." Akame shuddered at the last sentence which made Kakashi go wide-eyed and also shudder.

"Just seeing my body laying there completely still like a corpse... It was mortifying! And I couldn't wander too far from my body for some reason." Akame winced as she remembered her ghostly state of being.

"Like Chakra." The old woman said faintly.

"Hmm?" Akame turned her gaze to the old woman.

"Chakra is a combination of both Physical and spiritual energy. Your spirit... Your spiritual energy was separated which created the out-of-body experience much like that of a ghost. At least that's my theory. Oh, where are my manners? I am Chiyo." Chiyo smiled and looked nostalgic when she gazed at Akame.

"I recall hearing that name before." Akame scratched her spikey hair with a frown.

"Hehehe, I and Ezio had a rivalry. We were always competing on whose poisons were deadlier." Indeed Ezio picked up Medical Ninjutsu and created all sorts of poison jutsu. He learned early on that he couldn't rely on his hidden blade and swordsmanship in this new world.

"I don't think I look like my dad." Akame gave a deadpan face.

"You look more like him than you realize. Ezio... Good man, but terrible taste in women." Chiyo laughed.

"Sounds like you're bitter he didn't choose you." Akame rolled her eyes.

"Aye, I was very infatuated with the man from across the seas. He didn't speak the same language, he looked nothing like any resident of the Elemental Nations. He was lost... so very lost. He saw the good in everyone be it his friends and even his enemies. He was never caught in the cycle of hatred between the five great nations and that made him have an outlook on life that was irresistible for any woman he crossed paths with. And oh my, his accent was simply a great turn-on for any woman." Chiyo had a look of both sadness and happiness as she cried tears of both sadness and happiness.

"He was really, really old when he settled down and had me with my mum." Akame had a look of reminiscence as she recalled all the memories she had with her father.

"Lord Baki, Kankuro has regained consciousness!" A Medical Shinobi of the Sand Village interrupted the conversation about Ezio.

Naruto and the others walk into the patient room, and Kankuro makes out silhouettes of people. He is familiar with three of them, but the other two are unknown since they were with Naruto they must be Leaf Shinobi.

"Temari..." Kankuro was much weaker this time around compared to the anime, it just goes to show that reality and fiction are entirely different.

"I guess I owe you 500 Ryo," Akame grumbled and gave the money to Anko.

"Told ya he'd make it. Sakura is the student of the Hokage after all." Anko grinned as she provoked Akame playfully by sniffing the stack of Ryo.

"Save your strength" Temari gently held her little brother's hand.

"Sorry... I'm such... A bother..." Kankuro spoke slowly, he had to pause twice to breathe in enough air to talk.

"Shut up, don't be ridiculous," Temari said in a distraught tone.

"I don't know, he seems to be a bother what with him chasing after a S-Rank criminal as a Chunin. This is the result, next time kiddo... You might not be so lucky. Sasori of the Red Sand can only be taken down by someone of my level." Akame scoffed and then she walked away.

-Tch- Temari clicked her tongue and glared at the backs of Akame and Anko.

"No, Naruto." Kakashi grasped Naruto's shoulder who was about to storm after the two Elite Jonin.

Anko is among the rare elite just like Final Arc Kakashi due to her fate being altered since Akame prevented Orochimaru from giving the curse seal to her girlfriend in the nick of time. Meaning the two of them are as powerful as some of the greatest Kage in history.

"Grr, what gives her the right to say such things!?" Naruto's eyes took on a fox-like hue and the pupils were slitted.

"Because of the power she wields. She is one of the rare SS-Rank Shinobi, the only people who get that kind of ranking were people like the third Raikage, third Mizukage, the Third Hokage, and others like them, to get that kind of rating you need to be an Army Killer. Meaning you'd have to go up against at the very least five thousand Shinobi and win, Kirigakure took a bad beating from her. that's what it means to be SS-Rank being an army killer, the powerful can say what they want and do what they want without repercussions" Kakashi spoke solemnly.
