*Time skip: 10 years~

Yes, a lot of time has already passed for the four friends, now five including Deidara; but they were content.

They were well educated by this point, having matured naturally than they already were in the beginning; they learned the hunting techniques of their lovers at last; all camouflage types like all serpents.

Sasori was more of a desert type, hiding in the ravine/sand pits mostly, throwing poison spikes at his victims and watching them slowly die. Kisame, water obviously from his coloring and drowned his prey; he didn't have poison at all.

Zetsu, like Kakuzu were adaptable in the wilderness, but he used the poison in his claws to weaken his catch whereas the miser used sheer brute strength to crush his prey; no venom either.

Hidan wasn't venomous as well, and his hunting was mostly during full moon's at night due to his coloring; hiding in the beams of light on whatever surface it may be. It was all very fascinating.

Everything was going so well, although the subject/incident with having children was technically forced upon them, but the naga's gave them one year to wait, the next to impregnate them.

Lexy wasn't fond of the pregnancy, became more violent and stubborn, teasing Kisame about how much fish she was craving, to which said man hid from her quite a bit but he pampered her none the less. Deidara found it cute how caring and docile Sasori began during his time, more carefree and craving mangos but no lectures or teasing came from him; he was actually upset when he returned to his old stern self when it was over.

Itachi loved taking care of Hidan, who didn't change much in the attitude department and cursing at anyone who even looked at him, not to mention whining about how fat he was. At the time Olivia was more emotional, Kakuzu laughed at her when she spilled her drink and started crying but he consoled her all the same. Tobi naturally was the most excited and pampered Zetsu in his time of need of the temporary change, to which he was calm but horny all the time.

The naga's weren't exaggerating it was a painful experience for the change, since Hidan destroyed many pillars in the process but after a day or so he was fine and so were they.

All the births went well, and everyone tried to raise the children right naturally. The kids were eight years old now, aged the same way humans do except when they reach full adulthood then they'll stop in the appearance department.

The four friends have stopped again now as well due to the poison from the mark their masters gave them; it slows the aging process as they soon found out.

As of now, Prof. Sasori was naturally tutoring them and the now five friends couldn't be happier.

*It was early in the morning, no schooling today so the naga's decided to all meet to gather and let the children play as they supervised and talked about new changes around their living quarters. A new landscape designed for the children to play in and was at last finished.

Tobi squealed when he saw the first arrival and hugged the woman, who beamed happily at him as he stated, "You ready for a day of fun!?" "Of course Tobi, we've been so busy lately with the new playground you know. I'm glad we're done with it."

Zetsu smirked at his child, who hid behind him as he held her hand when Olivia's and Kakuzu's offspring appeared. He was blessed with a little girl; with wavy green hair and golden eyes, but they were large like Tobi's and made her more innocent looking, her skin tone was like the boy's and her tail was a light shade of green; a jade color. Aiko was a shy girl and very sweet, but she did have a frightening side to her when she was provoked like Zetsu.

Said man knew she had a crush on Hikaru, one of the miser's kids; Olivia bore him twins, a boy and girl. The boy had his father's skin tone, but his mother's light brown hair and eyes though they were bright green, his tail a dark green with tiny brown spots; he had a caring nature when he saw fit but was serious like his father.

Their daughter, Asami, had the same dark skin tone, but her hair was long and dark like her father's but with her mother's eyes and gentle nature, minus the greedy nature from Kakuzu and dark brown tail with blue spots.

Olivia saw the hint in Tobi's smirk and asked her son, "Hikaru, why don't you take Aiko to the stream and play." Her son arched a brow but nodded silently, gently taking the girl's hand who's face turned red as he led her away.

Kakuzu chuckled, "They make a nice couple, hopefully in the future they'll mate." "My sentiments exactly." "Eew dad! Don't talk about that when I'm here."

Father and daughter glared at eachother for a minute when she was tackled, "Forget the shitty old man and play with me Asami!"

A sharp punch to the head made the boy whine and fix his hair, "DAD!? What the hell…oh…sorry father." Itachi raised a thin eyebrow murmuring, "What have I told you about cursing so much Kenta?" "Sorry~" "Go play with Asami and behave or you're cleaning your room again."

Said boy sulked and picked up the girl in his arms, which blushed and wrapped her arms around his neck as they went to the swing Kisame had built for them.

Hidan smirked and wrapped an arm around his lover, "He takes after me my little weasel-kun, he's going to curse whether you fucking like it or not." Itachi glared at him as did their other son who didn't approve.

Kenta was one of their two twins, slicked back silver hair, fair skin with amethyst orbs, and a dark purple tail with white stripes; his attitude almost identical to the zealot. Not to mention doing whatever it takes to get what he wants…and that would be Asami to be his girl when they were older.

Seiji had the same hair, skin, and eye color; but his hair he had long and pulled into a high ponytail with the front bangs styled like his raven father, his tail was solid black; his attitude was quiet and reserved like him too and didn't approve of cursing either, but he loved his brother none the less.

Kakuzu rubbed his eyes, "He's becoming more like Hidan everyday and wants my daughter….just peachy." Hidan grinned evilly, "You say it like it's a fucking bad thing old man."

Before he could make a comeback two loud yells and grunts were heard and they all saw Kisame and Lexy coming. Kisame holding both kids up by the scruff of their shirts to separate them from fighting….again….as they tried to slap and hit.

Deidara rolled his eyes when he appeared, with his and Sasori's daughter on his shoulders and who just grinned, "Can I play too daddy!?" "Not like that you're not un."

Sasori chuckled and picked her up and settling her to the ground, "No need for violence unless need be remember?" "Yes father."

Lexy snorted, "They're no violent! They're not even fighting….it's mostly wrestling." Kisame grinned but growled, "Yeah but it's annoying, I wonder who they get this from eh?" The former teen pursed her lips and glared at her lover but said nothing as he kissed the top of her head before shoving their two kids towards the field.

Two fraternal twins for this pair of lovers; Yoichi had the bluish tint skin color like his dad, black eyes that were shaped like his mom's, messy brown hair, a dark brown tail with wavy blue patterns. Miki looked like her mom, cute round face, olive skin tone, brown eyes, but her hair was cropped and the color blue like her dad's, her tail a bright blue with almost glittering brown scales.

These twins had about the same personalities, but Yoichi was cockier and Miki more adventurous and physically stronger.

Seiji blushed when he saw Miki coming towards him, taking his hand demanding, "Let's go swim!" "…You know I don't swim well, I'm not a water serpent like you." The girl just laughed, "We're just going into the shallow end and I'll protect you."

Itachi smirked seeing his son being dragged away at the girl's demands, having a good hunch those two would end up as mates as well in the future. Lexy just gawked, "You're just going to let her take him without getting our consent!?" The brute just laughed and ruffled his lover's hair, "Why bother, she won't listen to me either just like her mother."

Tobi giggled, "That's true Loo-Loo."

All the adults looked down at the last two children left, to which Yoichi was trying to get the girl to come play with him but she refused with her nose in the air.

Sasori's and Deidara's daughter was beyond stubborn, gaining that defect from them both sadly. She was a cute girl; olive skin tone, shoulder length messy red hair, almond shaped blue eyes, and a golden yellow tail with a hint of a few red scales.. Yuriko was intelligent and ironically loved any type of art, but she liked to have fun like her blonde dad.

She crossed her arms at the boy snapping, "Go away!" The boy just smiled a wide toothy grin, with sharp teeth like Kisame, musing, "But Yuriko…why do you always tease me?"

Here came the sulky expression and showing obvious anger like Deidara expression, but before she could say anything the boy tapped her shoulder, "YOU'RE IT!" He slithered away fast and the girl just stood there sulking, but he knew how to make her do what he wanted, succeeding when she yelled and gave chase; the next thing you know they were laughing when she caught him.

Sasori rolled her eyes, "She makes it too easy for him to win." The blonde smirked, "That's because she likes him Danna, don't forget our bet when they're older." "She won't choose him Dei…..if she does I'll be in shock."

Kisame roared with laughter, "There's nothing wrong with my son getting with Yuriko someday, not to mention he likes all her artwork and wants to learn from her."

Deidara mentally slapped himself and announced as he remember something important, "Did you all hear what happened to Orochimaru yesterday un!?" Zetsu nodded, "We're well aware, though I'm surprised he died like that."

Hidan snorted, "Nah, he had it fucking coming. It was only a matter of time his human poisoned him." Tobi gasped, "He did!? How did the mean snake not catch on!?"

Kisame rested a hand on his lover's shoulder, "That human has been around for quite some time and he grew so use to him he let his guard down, he never would've dreamed he would have the nerve to even attempt to kill him without him finding out."

Kakuzu shrugged, "Not exactly a loss among our kind, I doubt he'll be missed." Olivia asked, "What about his human?" Sasori murmured, "We found him dead in the ravine, during his escape there was a landslide. He finally managed to escape, only to perish right after."

Lexy sighed, "I hate to say this but even if he lived, he probably already lost his mind and was mentally unstable to return to a normal life." None liked that thought but it was probably true.

Tobi held his lover's hand as they watched the children play, changing the gloomy subject to a better one, "Tobi glad we had an even number of kids together." Itachi nodded, "Ironic they've already hit it off on finding their future mates."

Sasori smirked, "It's not uncommon, we've had this happen many times before. They may be children but they share a special connection with a future mate, they don't understand it yet but in time they will."

Kakuzu sighed, "It's going to be hell when they're adolescents." His lover held his arm and cooed, "It'll be fine, it won't be that bad. No offense Itachi and Lexy."

Hidan smirked, "None taken." Lexy just snorted, "This time I'll take a vacation and hide so Kisame can take over like he did when I was pregnant." "You're never going to let me live that down are you?" "Not a chance sharky."

As they all watched their children play together, the humans now believed these events were blessings in disguise.

There were still many things they weren't happy about, mostly having been cut off from the real world…..but when they thought about it after all this time…all in all it was worth it.
