"Ugh..."

Waking up on a sheet cot bed in a dimly lit medical room with white tiled walls, concrete flooring, medical equipment laid out on a shelf, and an IV bag attached to her arm through a tube. Akame groaned in pain as she sat up gripping her head tightly at the incessant pounding, feeling as if her brain would explode at any second.

Not a second later through, Akame broke out in a violent coughing fit forcing her to move her left hand from her head and cover her mouth, which was soon covered in inky black blood.

After a minute of coughing up blood, Akame couldn't help but stare at her blood-stained hand and blanket as more blood slowly poured out from her mouth. Her eyes filled with resolve as she disconnected the IV tube from her arm and weakly shifted herself to the edge of the bed to stand.

Silence filled the room as Akame weakly got to her feet. The icy touch from the ground sent needle-like pain through her legs as she began channeling Chakra throughout her body, easing the burden on her weakened self.

With heavy breaths, Akame slowly made her way toward the open white metal door in the farthest corner of the room from her. Eventually reaching the door, Akame made her way out of the room into a stone hallway with many swirls engraved into the walls.

She was currently under Uzushiogakure, in a secret facility only the Uzumaki clan's main branch had access to. After around 11 minutes of a strenuous walk, Akame eventually entered a large laboratory with technology ahead of their time.

Akame made her way past much of the medical equipment toward a long crimson-haired woman with violent-colored eyes and a modest figure.

"Glad to see you're up, Akame. You've been out for some months now, I was starting to worry that your last 'outing' was too much of a burden on your body." The crimson-haired woman's elegant voice soothed Akame's heart and mind as she continued shuffling her feet toward the woman who was currently running tests on a large computer monitor.

"Come give mommy a hug-" Turning around the woman extended her arms toward Akame before freezing at the sight of her daughter stained with inky black blood. "Akame! I knew it was too much of a burden on your body! Why didn't you listen to me when I said to take it slow, leaping through worlds and dimensions one at a time is enough to kill the average being yet you leaped through more than 50 without taking a proper rest!"

Akame's mother rushed to her daughter's side pulling up a chair as she did so to allow the girl to sit. With the worry only natural for a mother, she began cleaning off the blood before rolling up her cost sleeve and offering her right forearm to the girl.

"Come on, heal up." Following her mother's words, Akame leaned forward and bit into the woman sucking out a great sum of Chakra allowing her to recover from her previous injuries.

"Sigh. This project of yours better be worth nearly dying over, he should be ready in a month or so. Just let him rest and adapt to the new sets of life energies." The woman gently rubbed Akame's hair as she shifted her gaze to the monitor before looking at the large stasis pod filled with a green liquid, connected to the monitor.

Once she finished healing her injuries, Akame shifted her gaze to the stasis pod where a large figure floated lifelessly.

"Yeah, it was worth every little bit. Though I don't know why I'm certain that this feeling in me is that of a mother's love. When he's ready, he'll protect me for his entire life." Akame smiled at her creation as warmth filled her entire body, starting from her spin and spreading outward.
