X OUR TRAGEDY X [Senju Tobirama AU]

Chapter 46

~Niyo's POV~

Maybe I was just imagining it but Hashirama-sama's chakra felt particularly violent when we were walking to the prison cells where the Yamanaka was being held. Tobirama was angry and his chakra was angry but contained, it was normal for him that way but his brother... I was already a little weak so I kept my distance from the brothers so as not to get hurt by some involuntary chakra control loss.

I was maybe the only person in the group who wanted to get this over with. I wanted answers but I didn't know what I would do once I got them. Tobirama who was walking behind me on my right told me in the morning to take it easy and should anything happen that can strain me, I was to quit the interrogation immediately. Pfft as if.

We arrived at the cells and the guards bowed to us before leading us to the interrogation room where the Yamanaka was tied to the chair with chains and her chakra was being restricted by four people in the room. I took just a look at the woman and sure enough she was the same person as the embodiment in my head when I was in control.

"All of you, leave." I said plainly, not taking my eyes off the prisoner and once I had spoken, the woman who appeared all beat down, raised her head to look at me. She was shocked perhaps to see me.

"You can't be serious-" Tobirama started but a look from me shut him up.

"There won't be any violence while I am here and I don't trust both of you right now to oblige to this condition of mine." Both the brothers looked at me like I was mad and wanted to protest but didn't and left, taking all the other guards and restricting people with them.

I pulled a chair from behind the desk and sat in front of the woman. Now that all the restrictions were gone, she sat much freely and raised her head fully to look at me but the moment she did, her chakra started soaring wildly. She lunged at me but I was faster than her and my sword reached her neck before she was even inches close to me. I stopped in time and so did she.

"Don't make me kill you without knowing why you did what you did."

"You are foolish to give me a chance." I sighed.

"You are foolish to lie when you are obviously in agony." The woman was starting to tear up for some reason and I didn't have the patience to ask why. I wanted answers but maybe being kind would get me those answers sooner and easier. "Why are you sad?"

"I...I killed a child...your child and you are not even angry-"

"Don't misunderstand. I am beyond angry but it would be unwise and unfair to direct all of it at you. You were certainly put to the job by somebody by what you said before you...so tell me, who was it, what did they want from me and why you?"

I crossed my arms and stared unblinking at the woman, pressurizing her with whatever hostility I could muster in my weak chakra. She stared back, wanting to speak something but it seemed like her words were stuck in her throat.

"I can't tell you, I am sorry."

"What's so bad that you can't tell me?"

"If I say anything, I would burn and so will my son. Please, understand." There was a desperation in her eyes and the pain in them told me that whoever put this woman to the job had a cursed seal over her so she won't utter a thing and even if she did, she would be burned before a single word could escape her mouth.

"Before I do anything else, I will take this time to tell you that I know that you have been abused and beaten wherever it was that you lived and whoever it was that you lived with. Abuse doesn't sit well with me so I will help you get rid of the asshole hurting you. I am probably the only woman in this country who will take a stand for you, so help me help you."

"I can't." A few tears fell from eyes when the whispered words escaped her. She looked like she wanted to believe me but whatever it was that stopped her from spilling any secrets, she was really scared of that.

"Alright," I rubbed my hands on my thighs and got up, "I'll be back in a few seconds. Decide." I exited the room and spotted the brothers at the end of the corridor with all the people I had removed from the cell. "Tobirama, I need your help." I said before they had a chance to ask me things about the interrogation. Tobirama raised his eyebrow.

"With what? She won't answer so maybe you want me to-"

"Oh hey wait a second, no, no violence. She's under a cursed seal that if she tell me anything she and her son would be burned so help me rid her of it. I want to help her." Every man in the premises was shocked by my statement.

"Why do you want to help someone who put you through so much pain?!" My husband was angry with the prospect of helping the woman and he was right in his anger.

""Cus that's just who I am this week." He just continued to glare at me. "Well if you won't help then I will have to do it myself however weak and inexperienced I am in this area. Maybe I will do more damage to myself but that's a risk I am willing to take." When I have him the stare, that I gave him to let him know that I was unyielding in some matter, he sighed.

"Fine."

"Thank you."

I led him to the prison room and opened the door to let him enter first. When I closed the door behind me and faced the woman, she was about ready to faint from fright and the reason for that was Tobirama's intense chakra and well, his face, he just couldn't bring himself to forgive this woman. I smacked the back of his head.

"Stop it."

"Tch." I glared at him and smiled at the woman.

"He's gonna help undo your seal, so bear with him for a while and it might feel really uncomfortable afterwards so bear with that too, please."

Tobirama was a professional at the job, one look told him where the seal was and what kind it was, he devised an anti-formula in under a minute and in the next few seconds undid it.

As expected the woman was really uncomfortable and nauseous when the seal lifted but I could see her mustering strength to speak before she lost consciousness. She raised her head to where I was standing and looked at me with pity in her eyes and uttered four words that raised hell for me.
