X OUR TRAGEDY X [Senju Tobirama AU]

Chapter 42

~

~Niyo's POV~

"Jiichan?" I mouthed to myself and laughed at the turbulence in Tobirama's chakra at the disturbance, also at the nickname.

"Tsuna, why are you up? Go back to sleep, it's the middle of the night." The white haired Senju sort of scolded the little child who pouted.

"I can't with all the noise of your fighting, it's the middle of the night!" Tobirama sweat-dropped at the truth of the little girl's words.

"Oh Tsuna there you are!" Hashirama-sama arrived outside and bent to the child's level who clung to him and pointed in my direction.

"Hashi-jiichan, Tobi-jiichan is fighting her and I can't sleep." This made the elder of the two brothers look at me and sigh. I bowed in respect then approached him as did his brother.

"She is Tobirama's wife and they are training," Hashirama started, "although I don't know why it must be this time of the night." We felt scolded.

"Wife? Why didn't I know?"

"Because you were sleeping through the whole ceremony." Tobirama said and I looked at him from the corner of my eyes. He seemed irritated and the kid seemed to be picking on it so I bent to her level on the grass and smiled.

"I am Niyo. Pleased to meet you, uh?"

"Tsunade!" She introduced and shook my hand. "So you were training? With Tobi-jiichan?" I nodded. "I haven't seen anybody but Hashi-jiichan train with him! You must be really strong!" It was clear that she was excited about the match.

"Yes, she is very strong! Why don't we bet on who is going to win in the sparring match?" Hashirama-sama interjected. "I bet on Niyo!"

"Then I will bet on Tobi-jiichan!" Tsunade chimed which made Tobirama slump his shoulders like he knew he had already lost.

"Alright, dear husband, let's battle."

"No use of ninjutsu, as agreed before." I nodded to Tobirama's rule and walked back to my position, pointing my broadsword at him.

"I haven't had the backup of a bet before, so I won't be losing."

"I know." He muttered under his breath, really annoyed for some reason and took out his own sword.

Hashirama-sama made himself comfortable on the porch and Tsunade sat in his lap, all excited for the match, wanting to see her grandpa Tobirama in action against a woman. In all honesty, the way she watched him, I wanted to lose on purpose but that went against everything I stood for so I decided to give it my all. At the signal of the whistle, we began.

We both ran towards each other and our weapons met in the middle, scratching against one another and producing sparks. I brought up my leg and went for a roundhouse kick but Tobirama dodged it and jumped in the air, throwing shuriken at me, which I deflected easily with my sword and jumped myself for an attack on the mid-air Tobirama. He was fast and was aiming an attack from the ground before I had the time to turn around and readjust myself in the air.

There was a gasp from our spectators, presumably at my lack of defense options in the ongoing battle but it was a wasted emotion because I was waiting for such an opportunity. I would let his fist make contact and take advantage of it by turning it in favour. It played well when Tobirama's hand connected with my shoulder and the brief moment it was there, I smirked and took ahold of his arm and twisted it behind his back, kicking him to the ground, following suit.

For the moments he couldn't move, I noticed Tsunade clap and Hashirama-sama saying something to her but my head felt blocked to any stimulus which prevented the generation of any impulse responses. It felt like I wasn't in control and maybe I wasn't. Consequence of this, my grip loosened on Tobirama's arm and I was kicked in the back in the process of him freeing himself. That kick brought control back. I shook my head and looked at Tobirama. I couldn't access a sensory analysis of my own chakra and possible Tobirama couldn't as well because he raised an eyebrow, followed by his whole face going dark when my hand unconsciously went to my left shoulder. It ached there.

While I was stunned, I made a bare nod to Tobirama to let him know that his next move was ok. He quickly went for a headlock and spoke his next words in above his normal tone, to let everyone hear, "surrender now."

"I might win this best Hashi-jicchan!"

While Hashirama-sama and Tsunade were getting excited about the bet, I took the chance to let Tobirama know of the situation. "There is something wrong, there is someone here."

"Are you sure?" He whispered back. My lack of answer was a confirmation. "Then there is no time to wait and-"

"Stop, you'll alarm the kid and that never ends well."

"Do you have a plan?"

"Yes, I will surrender and you get Tsunade to safety."

"Why me-"

"I SURRENDER." I spoke in a loud enough voice that went to the betting people. Tobirama let go of my headlock and I felt my chakra again. Maybe it was a temporary thing because of that one reason I hadn't told a soul yet.

"Yay! I won!" The blonde Senju girl was jumping from joy. Perhaps she didn't win often. Both us husband and wife shared a brief look then Tobirama went ahead to Tsunade, picking her up and going in the compound. Hashirama-sama looked at me when I kept standing where I was, making some handsigns, drawing blood and slamming my palms on the ground. Varg sniffed the disturbance in the air as soon as he appeared.

"Niyo, is everything ok?" The elder Senju asked.

"Just a hunch. You should go in, Tobirama probably doesn't know how to behave around children." I laughed at the end to make it seem that all was well.

"Ahahahahhaaa! You are right!" Thankfully he didn't object and went inside. I sighed in relief that it was just me and Varg now and should anything happen and should I lose control like before, Varg will bite me to consciousness. He's done it before.

"You should try to sense the vicinity for chakra. I haven't felt any chakra here before so I have no idea whether the ones I am feeling should be there or not." Varg suggested and I took up his advice but the moment I tried extending my chakra out, it restricted itself back to me and I once again felt like I had no control over it. Soon, my own arms and legs started betraying me, followed by the sudden blackness that shrouded my eyes until I was but a little voice inside my own head.

It was dark there and quiet for a little while. I heard a woman's voice but I couldn't make out what she was saying then she appeared in front of me, glowing lightly. I looked at my hands to notice that I was too.

"I am sorry about this, he's making me do it." She said, rubbing her wrists. When her hands went back to her sides, I saw her wrists had marks, abuse marks.

"Who?!"

"I am sorry, just bear with the control, I don't want to do this, he's making me do it."

I understood the minute she said 'control.' She was a Yamanaka and I was under the influence of shinteshin no jutsu. Damn it.

What was it that she was to make me do? I was a little afraid of the prospects.

I fought for control but her hold on me was strong. I was a sensory type though and I knew how to tamper with controlling chakras. That's what I did. I concentrated and sent huge waves throughout my mind and I knew I was succeeding when the woman told me to stop.

My move got me my eyes back, the sudden vision brought a massive headache. When my eyes adjusted to the images around me, I saw the ground moving fast beneath my feet, I was running, I saw the sword in my hands and lastly, Tobirama. He had his back to me and was looking at something inside the compound, all his attention there.

At this rate, I would stab him... I would kill...

I mustered all my consciousness and turned it into speech. "Tobirama!"

The near-silent volume of my voice that didn't even reach Tobirama shattered all my control. I closed my eyes when the remaining distance was covered and I felt my sword pierce through flesh.
