Third Person's POV

The night was frightening and chilling. Screams cry for help, and the crackling of hissing fire was the only noise that echoed in the middle of the seemingly silent night. The laughter of men and the ringing of their blades clashing soon followed as they continuously swiped and thrust into the bodies of innocent men and women residing in the area.

What was first assumed to be a rather peaceful night became a nightmare in an instant all because a small town was slaughtered by an unknown yet strong clan. As such, it was a night that no one wanted to remember.

During the cruel slaughter, a young and innocent little girl watched her parents and people die in front of her own eyes. It was all she could see. The flickering of flames, flying debris, heartwrenching cries, and trembling pleas were seen and heard by this child who had nothing to do with everything.

"Leave no mercy!" A shout called out as chaos raged on. "Kill all the people who lived in this damned village. Men or women alike, children or young adults! Let us show it with no mercy! We do not want more people to be hired by the Senju and the Uchiha clan!"

The warring states period. It is a war to fight for land, power, people, or opportunities. Countries fought by hiring different clans or reliable shinobi to represent their interests and the shinobi's loyalties ultimately went to the highest bidder.

Because of this war, death upon death is continuously rising. Even young children are involved. This night's slaughter is just another daily occurrence for this unidentified clan, who are hungry for power, had to do. The town is simply a victim itself of cruelty.

The young girl was sobbing as she pleaded for mercy or help. But only the wind and trees can hear her. The sound of slaughter muffled her shouts.

"Mari... My daughter." A voice whined out, weak and trembling.

The young girl quickly sought out the voice, it was her mother. Beside the mother was the child's very own father whose eyes no longer have light. "Mari, listen to me." The mother coughed up blood before beckoning the frightened girl. The woman desperately holds her split-open stomach as if she could lengthen her life span.

Young Mari crawled towards her mother weakly. Tears ran down from her eyes and blood dripped from her forehead. Every inch of her body is wounded, but still, she moved. The girl touched her mother's head in gentleness and weep silently, knowing this is the end.

"Mari, you have to hide. Please, my child, hide... hide, before they get to you." Her mother's croaked voice coughed up more blood, but she held up her hand and clasped her daughter's own. "Go, and don't look back. Don't scream, don't cry, don't do anything rash, or else mama will get mad at you for disobeying. Understand?"

Mari nodded, panic and grief controlling her at the sight of her mother covered with so much blood. Mari wiped her tears and crawled away, leaving her mother with eyes opened and mouth closed; ultimately signifying that she has passed.

Mari couldn't stand up, her thighs were too wounded. She was bleeding badly to the point she couldn't see correctly due to the dark spots and sudden light invading her vision. Her arms are so tired that her eyes began to see even more black dots as she crawled on and on. Yet she kept moving despite the pain.

The men are coming nearer. Their loud voices can be heard behind her, but she listened to her mother's words as she did not look back and kept going. Tears are flooding in again yet she didn't sob loudly. She kept crawling and crawling until she was hidden in a giant bush.

Mari can still hear and see the result of death. The endless cries of pain. The flickering of fire and the white smoke flying towards the sky. She can hear the men shouting orders and swords clanging. It didn't matter anymore. Mari wants to go back to her parents. She wants this night like the night before, she wants to see her people and her friends again. She dreamt and wished and hoped and even prayed.

But all she can do is wish for the night to end.

A note from the author.

Hey! I know that this kind of story stopped a long time ago, I might be the only person who writes stuff like this (or not). But anyway, I had been reading books like this as well and to be honest I like other people's work. It's fantastic.

I think that there are only a few people who would read stuff like this, like Tobirama x reader or Oc, etc.

But you know what, I guess this is for my fantasy, I don't care if no one reads this. As you can see, Senju Tobirama is one of my favorite characters in the anime Naruto Shippuden.

If you guys want me to do others like Madara and Hashirama or others, I guess I can write it if you guys want me to. I mean, to be honest, I would like some of your suggestions and support too.

BTW, I do not own Naruto characters.

Thank you for reading anyways. And also, please don't copy this book. I know some of you think that I've been copying others, but it's not. So please don't judge. :) Love u all.

ATTENTION to all Spanish (and those who can read Spanish) readers. NlaslyZurish translated the book from English to Spanish with my permission, so if you guys wanted to read that version, feel free to do so!
