X OUR TRAGEDY X [Senju Tobirama AU]

Chapter 62

~Niyo's POV~

"Please be careful." I hugged Tobirama tightly not wanting to let go for who knows when we would see each other again.

"I will be. You be careful too. If you think you can't win, tell the company to flee." I sighed at his orders. "And don't tell me you're too proud to flee. Retreat and regroup then attack."

"Jeez relax, I am in the company just outside the country." I tried smiling but it just wouldn't grace me.

"I am worried about you."

"And I you."

We reluctantly let go of each other before running off in our respective directions. The Second Ninja World War had begun a week ago and it was time for the Hokage to step in and lead the battle. I didn't want to let him go but I had to, he had duties. His team was strong having an Uchiha, Akimichi and among others, Hiruzen of course whom I secretly told to look after my husband.

I had to leave Yuuri in the hands of a woman to take care of him while mama and papa went to fight the war. I had a strong belief that we would both be alright and meet our son after the war was over and live happily and with the happy thoughts for the future, I went to join my company to war.

Loud explosions rang in my ears and disoriented me but there were still about a dozen hundreds of the Lightning country ninjas and only a few of us left. I found the company leader and told him to retreat and join with the fifth company which was fighting some distance away.

"We know who you are, he he." I gripped my swords tightly and faced the shinobi approaching me. They had killed the company leader and now that I was surrounded, I first had to deal with them and then tell whoever remained to leave. It didn't seem like these shinobi would make it easy for me to get rid of them. I had been fighting constantly for half six days without much rest and I was tired and my chakra was close to depletion but I had to fight these ninjas off.

"Oh yes?" I asked, hoping that by talking they would get distracted and make a mistake that would get them killed.

"You are Tanogata Niyo, wife of the second hokage of Konoha and mother of Senju Yuuri." I was a bit intimidated that they knew this but I was not going to give into it.

I didn't want them to continue their talking so I lunged with my swords and attacked with my oil as well – I regained my ability slowly over time. It was hard to fight with five ninjas at the same time and for some reason they were all laughing and quite positive that they had me.

I pulled my sword from the chest of one of the lightning shinobi I managed to kill and went for another when I stopped dead in my tracks. The chakra from behind me was excessively familiar. There was no way it could be there but I was sure it was the same chakra.

I slowly turned around and as I did so, the shinobi started laughing. He had Yuuri in his hands, above the ground by the collar of his shirt. My son struggled to get out of the grip but when he saw me, he started crying altogether.

"Maaaamaaaaaa!!!"

"How...?"

The shinobi holding him laughed. "The woman was our spy. So here is how it's going to be, you send a signal to the Hokage or whatever it is that you lovebirds do and tell him to present himself to us and surrender or this kid dies."

"Using a child for your own devices, have you no shame?!" I was angry, I didn't hear half the deal he offered me, I was focused on how to get my child back. He was just four years old dammit! Konoha was betrayed. There were spies among our ranks and we hadn't noticed.

"Let him go this instant!" I yelled charging at the man with everything I had. In a moment of his fear for me he roughly threw Yuuri on the ground and backed away a few paces. But I was not done with them.

How dare they use my child like that? How dare they talk like they had the upper hand on his life? How dare they use him as an object to achieve their goals?!

I was blinded by anger and in it I was unable to see the multiple swords sent in the direction of where my son lay on the ground with his head leaking a little blood but still conscious. I moved there as quickly as I could and I knew I won't be able to deflect all of them in time so I did what I could. I threw myself between my son and the speeding swords, saving him, at my cost.

My anger didn't fade and once I knew my son was ok, I let loose everything I had been holding back. Oil gushed out of every pore in my skin and enveloped any and every shinobi in a large radius and ignited it with a spark from my words. I knew I was going to die. Nobody can survive these many sword wounds.

"Yuuri, when the fire is gone, run as quick as you can." He nodded tears in his eyes.

Everything around me and my son burned and burned and burned. I focused at the fading chakras with the last of my strength but before I was sure of the extinguished enemies, I fell, my vision already getting darker.

Just a little more...please...just to make sure Yuuri makes it...

I coughed out blood and looked at my son who approached me and patted my cheeks.

"Mama-"

"Run, my boy..." I lifted my hand to push him to run but it didn't get up and when the darkness started getting worse, I was sure that Yuuri would make it out but just as my soul escaped my body, a pair of hands drove a kunai through my son and threw his lifeless body near mine that followed soon after.

Tobirama...I'm sorry.
