Reminders:

1.) Key:

a.) italicized words - Inner Sakura

b.) 'underlined words'- inner thoughts of anyone

2.) The characters are OOC

3.) I disregarded the toddler language, so that their dialogue will be straight to the point. Hope you don't mind. It's actually becoming a nuisance for both me and for some others :)

...so, you have been WARNED!

***RECAP***

Chi had been staring intently at Pine, who happened to be noticed by his blue partner. "Ei patner, don ugel, o ya bei kild bei er," (Hey partner, don't ogle, or you'll be killed by her.) he nudged as he pointed out he burst into laughter.

"Im nowt owglen," (I'm not ogling.) Chi answered, anger in his voice.

"Den wat?" (Then what?) Kisa asked his partner,curious.

"Atake," (Hatake.) Itachi venomously spat the name.

"A...Watabot u res-andu shenpa?" (Aa... What about your ex-ANBU-senpai?) Kisame asked, as he tried to remember the grey haired man who did nothing to annoy him earlier that day.

"Is ub two somten," (He's up to something.) Itachi explained. That caught everyone's attention, except for the usual trio - Tobi, Dan, and Dei, who were now focused on the sandbox they were sitting in.

Tobi was sulking, as he then kicked up some of the sand at his feet, which caused Dei, who was gaping at that time, to swallow some of the sand.

*Bleh!* *Bleh!*

"Wei, yuletel bat!Ilbomyo! Un," (Why, you little brat! I'll bomb you! Un.) Dei grudgingly shouted. "En yow to, un," (And you too, un.) Dei looked at Dan, who was rolling over laughing.

Then another toddler war began.

A toddler war that the pink haired mother happened to see firsthand.

A war that the two wished they'd never started...

***End of RECAP***

One silly day, there were ten little kids who made their hideout from different construction materials. One was hay, the second was twigs, then the last one was made out of bricks.

"Ha! This is art, un! Right Sasori-dana?" the blond toddler smirked, as he finally put in the last piece of brick for their last hideout.

The red haired dana grumbled something as he looked more approving of the hideout made out of wood, which he himself had constructed, as more deserving to be appreciated than the un-symmetric brick hideout constructed by the long blond haired toddler.

"I would rather have hay or twigs as our hideout than those expensive bricks," the stitched toddler interrupted in disgust.

"Loosen up a bit! Here, have some wine!" the blue baby offered, as he laughed loudly at the antics by the group.

The blue haired toddler was dragging the long red haired toddler as she assessed all the hideouts for which one she and her captive would use as their love nest. "No one lay a hand on this hideout!" she commanded, as she preferred the one made out of bricks.

"Nu-uh, UN!" Dei disapproved, as he crossed his arms over his chest.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Dei flew over the place as he landed by the pink eyed toddler who happened to be in the middle of his ritual.

*Thud*

"Why, you fucking little bitch! You have ruined the honor of the great Jashin!" the pink eyed toddler snapped. "When I get to you, I am going to tear you to shreds, and then burn you to ashes, and then grind you to dust!" Dan started maniacally, chasing the scared little blond.

"Tobi wants to play too, senpai!" The masked toddler then let himself join in with the small 'chase game' made by the two idiotic toddlers.

"Tobi is a good boy,so don't run over my plants," the black and white toddler warned.

"Tobi will be a very good boy!" Tobi answered, as he stepped on one of Zet's plants. A small crack of the twig of the plant was heard. All the other toddlers looked quickly at the black and white toddler as his eyes twitched a little. "Tobi is a very good boy! It's senpai's fault!" Tobi accused the blond as he pointed at him.

"Wha-? It is not, un," Dei defended himself, as he stopped his running.

"Got you! You fuckin' mindless shithead!" Dan lunged himself at the blond toddler, and they rolled all over the place, but stopped dead after hitting something, or better yet, someone.

"Hn," a heavy and deathly groan erupted from the now crimson eyed toddler.

"Oh Jashin..." Dan mumbled as he finally saw death on its way, not that he minded. On the other hand, Dei was squeaking for his life!

*Bam* *Pow* *Pak* *Blam* *Poink* *Kaboom*

The idiotic duo, who was now on their deathbeds, took shelter in the hay hideout. Along with them was the noisy masked toddler, who obediently and willingly took care of his senpais, and also the busy-money accountant of the group, who didn't seem to care as long as hegaineda profit from the others by 'keeping watch on the unruly kids' (aka. babysitting).

The onyx eyed toddler, red haired toddler, and the drunken blue baby took shelter in the twig hideout. While the others left, the couple and also the black and white toddler stayed in the brick hideout.

An unknown person with a red hood knocked on the door of the hay hideout.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Tobi wants to know who's outside!" Tobi asked as he moved closer to the door.

"This is Haku," the man outside introduced.

With a mental snap, "Tobi wants you to..." the masked toddler prepared himself as he breathed in a lungful of air, "GET YOUR ASS OUT OF HERE!" he shouted as he rejected the visitor. Due to the force, the hay stack hideout finally collapsed, revealing the unwanted visitor,who looked at them in awe over what had just happened.

Rather than feeling angry at the action of the masked toddler, "Tobi! You're paying... or do you want me to take it out of your budget?" Kaku said, without even battling an eyelash.

The unwanted visitor smiled at the actions made by the toddlers, which made Tobi more irked than ever. "I HATE YOU! NO! I LOATHEYOU!" he declared as he pointed an accusing finger at the unwanted man of the moment.

After the small encounter, without any shelter, the four toddlers made their way towards the next hideout, which was made out of twigs.

*Knock* *Knock*

"DANA! Please let us in!" Dei pleaded, feeling the winter breeze outside.

"…"

"Fucking assholes! Open the damn door already!" Dan shouted.

"Tobi will be a very good boy this time!" Tobi interjected.

"Tobiis a very bad boy, un!" Dei corrected, as he sent the worst death glare he could muster.

"Tobi is feeling happy! Dei-senpai is making an idiotic face!" Tobi laughed.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"Let us in, damnit!" Dan demanded, as his fist banged on the door more forcefully, which made it open.

Kisa laughed loudly, seeing the idiotic three looking dumbfounded that all this time the door was already open for them. "It was already open," Kisa said to snap the three from their meaningless awe.

"What happened?" Sasa asked, seeing his noisy partner again.

"Tobi! That's me!" Tobi confessed happily, which only caused Dei and Dan to grunt.

"Hn," Chi grunted, annoyed at having more people stay in their little twig hideout.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Tobi wants to know who the person is!" Tobi asked as he moved closer to the door.

"No one" a stoic voice answered. All the toddlers were alarmed, knowing who the person was outside. It was the one they had all labeled 'cootie-man'.

"Tobi wants to know who no one is!" Tobi still asked again.

"Open the door," cootie-man answered, still in a monotone voice.

"Tobi knows no one who is named open the door," Tobi answered stupidly, which only caused the others to either sigh or smack their foreheads from their subordinate's stupidity.

"It's me, your Daddy!" cootie-man answered. All shuddered at the answer given by cootie-man.

"I think I want to barf, un" Dei said, feeling sick.

And again… a mental snap. "Tobi wants you to..." the masked toddler prepared himself as he breathed in a lungful of air. "GET YOUR ASS OUT OF HERE! YOU WILL NEVER BE OUR DADDY! MAMA IS MINE!" he shouted as he rejected the visitor. Due to the force, the twig hideout finally collapsed, revealing the cootie-man with his red hood,with his arms wide open to hug them.

Feeling death fast approaching them, all hurried to the next hideout before one of them could be given the unwanted cootie by the very unwanted man they wished to never see again in their lifetimes.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

The door opened, revealing Zet. All the other toddlers hurriedly ran inside the brick house, panting and breathing to catch their lost breath.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Three rubber bullets perfectly aimed at the heads of the three loudest toddlers hit them. "Why the hell are you in our sanctuary?" Koko demanded. "Didn't we say this was our hideout?"

"B-but-" Dei stuttered.

"No excuses," Koko venomously spat in his face.

"Report," Pine interjected with a sense of authority.

"He was here…" Chi answered.

Pine nodded, as he already understood the sense of disgust from the answer from the most stoic member of the group.

*Knock* *Knock*

All eyes darted to the door. All got into their stances for the next unwanted visitor they had, as Dan and Dei finally roped the masked toddler to prevent any unnecessary destructible actions it may cause again. "Who is it?" Sasa asked.

"*Mumble* *Murmur* *Mumble*" No one heard clearly what the person said on the other side of the door. Sasa took another time, he asked in a much louder voice, "Who?"

"…Wakey… Baa-Chan… Shots…" Still, the toddlers could only understand those three , they couldn't decipher who the unwanted person outside their brick hideout was.

"If you don't answer, we shall no longer accommodate you," Sasa demanded, feeling he was being dragged by a very slow, untimely, unwanted person.

*BAM*

All looked at Dei with an accusing look as they all demanded to know how the brick wall could possibly break in an instant. "You can't play blame me, un. We have limited resources, un. So I was only able to put the bricks together without anything to hold them inplace, un," Dei answered. All answered him with 'why-didn't-you-just-say-in-the-first-place?'looks. Then the place started to crumble from their sight.

...END of DREAM...

° ·°° .·°°·. °°· °

"Wakey-wakey!" Sakura insistently rocked the large crib that contained all ten toddlers. Small moans and groans were heardfrom all of them. "Come on, little ones, we're all going to visit Baa-chan for your shots!" she happily said.

All eyes snapped open, as they all looked at their pink haired mother, who was evilly grinning at them. Tobi, who was usually so open to his mother, as he kissed her as soon as he woke up, backed away. The other toddlers stiffened in their places. All were having the same thought.'Why do we have to get shots?!With a letter s at the end?!'

"Oh, come on…" Sakura cooed. "It will be really fast," she assured them, but all it resulted in was the toddlers crawling away from the side of their pink-haired mother. "Pretty please~" Sakura begged, making puppy-eyes at them.

'Really, you're acting this low, begging them on top of it all?' Inner Sakura said, with a hint of annoyance.

'You do it!' Sakura insisted for Inner Sakura to take her place 'Remember yesterday?' Sakura inquired.

'Oh, about their cat-fight,' Inner Sakura answered. 'I do remember that incident.'

'These children are a wreck! They never listen to you!' Sakura shouted, as her inner self nodded in agreement. 'I'm glad that it will be time for their medication!'

'Why so?' Inner Sakura inquired.

'Duh? After getting shots, they'll become a little bit listless, which means…" Sakura answered.

'We're finally getting a break!' Inner Sakura celebrated.

To be continued...

A/N: I would like to apologize if I inconvenienced you guys… It wasn't my intention to repost the previous chapter, then change the status :( Forgive me! :(( And I hope this chapter makes up for my mistake! Although, I doubt this entry is that good :( Tell me if it's still okay? :) My younger sister happened to read "The Three Little Pigs" when I started writing this chapter, so it pretty much rubbed off on me.

Sakura: Oh! Hello there! Miss Keng was put into ICU for some odd reason after the last BC. So anyway, I will be the one replacing her for a while, until she can finally come back here to conduct the interviews with our little tikes! I will fill in for her as I ask for today one of the greatest wonders, how our friends here have gotten their name tags! But before that, I have here Pine, to continue what he wished to say to you guys!

Pine: *Cough* *Cough* As previously said, Pain is the emotion needed for a new beginning, to bring forth what we all wish, peace... It has been made a point that everyone who has experienced and learned what pain is really all about has grown and become a 'real person'. In this village, everyone shares and values their bonds, the connections they have with everyone living with them. Sa- Our host (he corrects himself) is one of the few people in this village that has created more bonds than one could ever believe, for she is both the apprentice and the one closest to the village leader, the Godaime.

Sakura: KYAAAA! You're so cute!

Pine: … (Bows and dragged off by a fuming, jealous Koko)

Sakura: Really… She has to be talked with her about her possessiveness… So, that's partially one of the few things we are going to talk about in our BC! So, next! The question for today's entry is… *Drumroll* Who on earth made the baby tags?

Inner Sakura: Pssst!

Sakura: What?

Inner Sakura: Call any toddler!

Sakura: Oh… Silly me… Yes, I choose you! Kisa!

Kisa: You know, I've heard that line before…

White Zet: It came from Pokemon.

Kisa: Really? Hahaha… That's one of my favorites!

Black Zet: I thought it was Finding Nemo?

Kisa: Really?

Sasa: Just answer the question, so we can go home…

Kisa: Sure, sure! XD The one who made them was Tobi…

Tobi: That's me! ME! (jumping while answering)

Sakura: Awww… How cute~ *Squealing*

Tobi: Mama!

Sakura: Oooof- So it was you! So that's the reason why it was so hard to read!

*KRRRIIIIIIINGGGG*

Sakura: So, that's all folks! I just hope our poor author can finally step in here again… Wonder what happened to her?

All toddlers whistling – playing innocent.

Sakura: And also, who the hell is 'cootie-man'? And so, there you have it! So whoever answers who cootie-man is will have the privilege to emcee the next chapter! Miss Keng will just PM you about the details! :) Bye!
