Chapter 66: We'll get Through this Together

Mito's P.O.V

Yoshima sat on the couch throwing her head back.

"I cannot believe he left me." Yoshima whispered to herself repetitively.
"He seems he's confused in life.  Let him find his way." I said.

"Mito...  Trust me.  I'm trying but it's not easy Mito.  I'm taking care of a one month old baby as well as my body is caring for two."  She moaned.
"If you act all stressed, you'll have a painful pregnancy once again." I said rocking Kuro as he slept.

"It's too late for that... With Madara gone, how will I even survive. We don't know when he'll be back." Yoshima said.
"I'll help you get through it.. Don't worry."

Madara's P.O.V

I watched Aoi as he sat in front of two graves.

"Mama, Aiko... I miss you so much. Today a man came and save papa's life. He seems like such a strong man. Maybe he'll be able to rid the village of those bad Shinobi. Maybe he can train me to become a Shinobi. I keep getting stronger and stronger each day. I promise I'll protect papa and Ayano. I miss you. Rest in Peace." Aoi said and got up.

He turned to see me.

"You heard all of that?" He sweat dropped.
"Yup. I know I'm a strong man." I said flexing.
"I-I didn't say you were a strong man!"
"Then what did you say?"
"Shut up!"
"Woah harsh."
"What do you want?" He asked.
"I know what happened in your past."
"So why do you care?" He started to walk away.
"I had 4 brothers... And a sister... As well as my parents." I said and he stopped.
"What happened to them?"
"They were all killed. My brother that lived the longest reminds me of Aiko... I can't believe that happened to your family and I'm extremely sorry."
"How did you survive? All those deaths... They would've made me go mad..." Aoi said clenching his fist.
"I fell in love, and I made friends. I now have a family." I said.
"So... Should I fall in love?" He asked.
"No! No... No....." I sweat dropped.

Well now that I think about it, when I first met Yoshima. I was about Aoi's age.

"Then?"
"I want to train you. I'll make you into a Shinobi."

He turned to me and his eyes widened.

A smile formed on his lips, and he hugged me.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" He said repetitively.

He quickly ran off into the house.

Yoshima's P.O.V

"Peekaboo!" Hashirama said trying to amuse Kuro.
"Peekaboo!"
"Peekaboo!"

Kuro just started at the man with a frown.

"Hmph!"
"Yoshima did you hear that?!" Hashirama yelled.
"Kuro said his first word!"

I sat up amused, "What?!"

"What was it?"
"Hmph!"
"Wait, what?"
"Hmph!"
"Hashirama... That's a sound."
"He sounds like Madara!" Hashirama said.
"You look like Madara a lot." Tobirama came by and started at the 1 month old.

I looked at Kuro and watched his big dark eyes stare at me.

"He acts like Madara a lot..." Hashirama said.

"He has his sass."  Tobirama frowned.
"His sass?
"Yeah.  I wished he'd be like you Yoshima.  I guess that can't be helped." Tobirama said sighing and leaving the room.

His sass, huh?

"Hmph!"
"Love me..." Hashirama anime cried to the one month old.
