For the love of Kami do not expect chapters to be this long in the future. X_x Woooooooo boy, this was a doozy to write. I'm praying the boys' chapter will be shorter.

Thank you guys for all the faves, follows and reviews, this week has been a bundle of stress and it's been nice reading what you all have to say. Also question: should I just delete the troll reviews or keep them and roast them? I don't mind either way because they are so far and few, but it kills my brain cells having to even respond to the, what they believe to be intellectual insults.

wyattharto8: Please don't cry! Be happy! :D

MelonLordOfMelons: He's my husbando that's for certain. Also please don't cry! Why are all you guys crying?! O.O

Pr1nc3ss K3nny: It's a big bundle of emotions really. But that Taro fight was actually a lot of fun to write. Also, why is everyone so emotional lately? XD The boys will definitely have an reaction to them finding out they are now brothers, but that won't appear until the first shippuden chapter.

IsraAl'Attia-Theron: Itachi doesn't need no permission from Madara… well he kinda does, but Anko gets in the way of all that. Naruto and Sasuke will be so confused with how much things will have changed in such a short period of time, but they will all be answered… eventually lol. Thanks for the luck!

Yurei Hanatsuki: I know, took me forever to figure out a good time to go to Uzushio without killing the flow. X.x

LeWeeaboo: Glad I made you laugh, and thanks!

VenaHope: Dei's last name will become Uchiha… funny cause he doesn't have a last name, so he gets one! Also Madara will not be the one to give Dei up, that honor belongs to Kimimaro. He is Dei's brother after all. I'm honestly excited myself to see how some Akatsuki members react to the two getting hitched.

UseFistNotMouth: I'm going to be honest. With the wording and the overall tone of your review, it left a bitter taste in my mouth the first time I read it. But after rereading it, I can see why you would be frustrated. But this fanfiction is in the family category, and in order for literal families to be made, there has to be romance between characters. That does not mean I'm going to spend half a chapter describing how characters make-out or have sex or anything like that. Instead it affects how specific characters interact with each other. There will be more people being paired off, there will be talks about their relationship, but I will also be focused on the story at hand. Hope I was able to clear up some things, most pairings will begin in side stories, and not take up time in actual main plotline, with some exceptions like Itachi and Deidara. But if you end up not liking the story anymore, that is perfectly fine, it's your opinion hun. ^^

WhiteFang001: I know! I was fangirling so hard when writing that out while also cringing at how cheesy it was. I suck at doing anything romantic. XD

crazby: The filler's name for the funeral one is called Laughing Shino and is the 186th episode of the original series. Glad you liked the Mei and Zabuza pairing!

Bosspatywafless: Good luck on watching Game of Thones! My best advice for you when watching the show is to not have a favorite character. Trust me, it saves the heart ache. Even if they never die, it still hurts. (My favorite characters are Arya and Tyrion)

HitGamer22: Sadly the boys will be absent during the wedding, and will also be oblivious to the fact the two got married until shippuden. But dude, having Kushina and Deidara bicker would be fun. I may actually do that later in the story when Naruto learns to control Kurama. :D

duchessliz: To be honest I wasn't gonna pair Mei and Zabuza with anyone until someone brought it up. So happy I had them get married, and now Haku has a family! Also Deidara is so gonna try his hardest to get Sasuke to call him Nii-san. XD

Bcp2005: Shukaku will be extracted from Panda-chan. But the arc will not play out like in shippuden.

EgyLynx: It's fine hun. Glad you are enjoying the chapter!

DarkSolaris57: My beta would kill me if I even thought of that idea. Daiki was actually an option at first… but everyone liked Itachi more lol. Plus again, beta would kill me. ^^"

Doctor Corvus: Thanks!

Guest: You really shouldn't talk about yourself that way. :/

Year 1, May (Still)

"You're really going to marry him, Nii-sama?" Kimimaro hands me a cup of tea and sits down next to me. He's grown more, so now I have to look up at him even when sitting. Now I feel like the little brother.

I allow a small smile to pass my lips, "Yeah… Itachi is… I love him Kimimaro, I know you are not a fan of him, but he makes me happy, un."

Kimimaro sighs and lays his head against the back of the couch, "I don't actually hate him… It's just always been you, me and Otouto… I'm always afraid that you could get hurt. But I realized you would get hurt even with him not being in your life." He gives me a teasing look as a lightly punch his arm.

I tilt my head, "So you are okay with this, un?"

Kimimaro's usually passive face twists like he just ate a lemon, "I don't like the idea of someone defiling my Nii-sama… but as long as he makes you happy." If that's the case… why are you grinding your teeth?

I hug Kimimaro, "Thanks honey. Don't worry, you'll see things differently when you have little ones calling you 'Uncle Kimi', un." My smirk grows as Kimi gives me a dazed look at the idea of kids.

"Mini Nii-samas… Hm… I can scare off people." Kimimaro gets a contemplative look as I laugh and head out to inform Anko.

She was easy to find, then again everyone is easy to find for me. Putting on some earplugs, I drape myself against Anko's back and dangle my ring hand towards her face.

Based on the fact people are holding their ears, she's squealing to the point of borderline screaming. Once I see them unplug their ears, I remove my own earplugs.

"You two are getting married?!" I'm now being smothered by my best friend, "You two are gonna have a big ceremony, and have lots of cute BABIES!" Well, good to know she is thinking about my future?

"Woah Anko. Slow down there, one step at a time. Itachi and I are not going to have a big wedding and children are not for a few more years at the least, un." I try to pacify my overly excited friend, but the idea of a wedding and kids just seemed to make her coocoo for Cocoa Puffs.

"No way! Kids have to happen while you two are young, and I'm in charge of the wedding! What were they like in your past life?" She yanks me down onto the seat.

I pause for a moment to think, "Depends on the couple and culture… but I had a, what we called a 'Western' culture. So the wedding involved long beautiful gowns…" I pull out some paper and a pencil from a scroll and began lightly sketching various wedding dresses, "The bride would be the shining piece of the wedding. No matter how equal the couple was, all eyes were on the bride. Sometimes the bridesmaid or best man would give speeches, sometimes they were funny and some were tear jerkers. There would be music and dancing and a stupid cake, I never liked cake, un."

I kept explaining to Anko about western weddings, drawing as I talked incase I broke into English. I explained to her some of the big differences between these weddings and the ones this world has, which are more like Japanese weddings. I also explained what I hated about both types of weddings, either from the stiffness of western weddings or the fact in Japan, guests are expected to give money to the married couple. I don't like the idea of giving money to someone, I'd personally rather get them something they can use in their household right away. But that may just be me.

But I ended it on this note, "But I hate big weddings. We are only telling those close to us so we can just have a small event and then everyone goes to have a nice dinner. Nothing fancy, un."

Anko nods, "Right. I'll arrange it! Don't worry, I'll keep it small!" And then she was gone.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Year 1, June

Not long after Itachi's birthday, I got kidnapped by Anko and the girls while Itachi somehow got kidnapped by Kisame and several other guys.

"Umm… girls? What the hell are you doing-GAH ANKO!" Despite being male, I quickly cover my chest with my arms after Anko mercilessly removed my shirt. I glare at the teenage trio... excuse me… quartet, Ino is here now, giggling behind me, "What's going on?!"

"Your wedding Dei-chan! Now off with the pants, you gotta put on your kimono!" I had to smack Anko's hand away from getting anywhere near my pants while Karin is practically snorting with laughter.

"I can do this myself thank you, un!" I'm not Mulan trying to please the Matchmaker, why does the whole process have to be so aggressive?!

"Deidara-sensei, you need to take a bath first!" Sakura motions to a bathroom and hands me a towel, I make a beeline for it and lock the door closed.

"Need any help Dei-chan?" Anko knocks on the door. Damn woman sounds like she is having the time of her life.

"Damnit Anko! I love you and all, but please do not come in here, un!" I quickly hop in the bath. This is ridiculous, "How clean am I supposed to be?"

This time, it was Hinata, "You just need to make sure you wash off all the dirt and sweat Deidara-san. My mother had to do the same thing for her wedding." I hear Ino and Sakura make sounds of agreement.

I soak in the water for a few minutes before actually cleaning. Once I was satisfied, I dry off before getting dressed, just my boxers and the underlayer of the wedding kimono. I have no idea how the main piece is suppose to be worn. With a sigh I step out to face the girls, "My wedding is today…?"

Karin nods, "In reality it was Tsunade who picked the date. We know you wanted a small ceremony, but everyone involved wanted to make this special."

I rub my neck, suddenly breathing seemed to become more of a challenge, "Alright... I'm at all of your mercies, un." I bow to them before being lead to the spot where I'm going to be prepared.

"Okay! Sakura, hair! Karin, you and Hinata are on makeup! Ino, help me with the kimono!" There was a unison of "yes ma'am!" as I now had multiple pairs of hands all over me.

'I wonder how Itachi is doing?'

With the boys

3rd person POV

"I don't see why there was a need to grab Itachi right away. The bride always takes the longest to get ready." Kakashi talks through his book as Kisame was being a good best-man and helping Itachi get ready.

"Well with Anko-sensei in charge, Deidara will be dressed faster than you'd think." Sakon just returned after making sure the guests found their spots, Ukon snorted in agreement.

"Yes, how did she get the head of the Hyuuga to help with this ceremony? Ah, here is your sash, Itachi-san." Kisame hands Itachi another piece of his wedding garb from behind a screen. A quiet "thank you" rang out from the other side.

"Hiashi-sama is rather good friends with Nii-sama. Nii-sama is also the one that trained their heir." Kimimaro was mostly there because there was some rule against men entering the bride's dressing room until the full kimono was assembled. He'll be able to enter once he receives the okay. Neji was also there… mostly because Kimimaro was in the room.

"Hiashi-sama is there?" Itachi pokes his head out from behind the screen to look at Kimimaro. When the boy nodded Itachi facepalms, "Deidara is not going to be happy about this. What's next? The Tsuchikage was invited?"

Sakon sweat drops with Ukon, Kakashi and Kisame, "Well…"

Back with the ladies… and Deidara

Deidara's POV

"Anko hun… I know I allowed you to arrange the wedding… and I am grateful…"

"Uh huh." She tightens my obi.

"And I did tell you that I hate large weddings, correct, un?"

"Yep! Remember that bright as day! Karin, more blush."

"So please answer me this… WHY CAN I FEEL A BUNCH OF PEOPLE NEARBY?! ONE OF THEM BEING ONOKI?!" Anko leans away as I was right in her ear. All the other girls didn't seem to mind, just kept to their work. Though all works on my lips have stopped indefinitely.

Anko gives out a nervous chuckle, "Well you see… I asked Hiashi for help, who told Hokage-sama, who told not only the Mizukage, but the Tsuchikage as well. Apparently his granddaughter insisted on coming to see you."

I groan, I stopped going to Iwagakure years ago, but I kept in touch with Kurotsuchi. I'm not that close to her even after all these years… but I guess she's under this fantasy that deep down, I'm still the "Deidara-nii" she grew up with.

"Fun… and the old man is here too…" I sigh as I feel Sakura put the finishing touches on my hair, "I guess I should have seen this coming, un."

"Come on Deidara-sensei! Smile! It's your wedding, I know you don't like big ceremonies but… everyone here just wants to see you happy." Sakura gives me a reassuring smile.

I return one, but it falters, "It's not that. I just don't do well when all eyes are on me. What if I mess up? I don't want to embarrass Itachi, un."

Ino rolls her eyes, "Come on. You? Mess up? I doubt it, you're a natural at improversation. Plus we made sure all the guests were aware that you two had no idea this was planned. I bet Itachi is as nervous as you are." I had to appreciate Ino's words of encouragement. It is natural for someone to be nervous at their own wedding.

"Okay! Finished!" All the girls moved away from me so I could look at myself in the mirror, I had to do a double take at my reflection to ensure that it was actually me.

My hair was shoved into a wataboshi… I guess that's better than a tsunokakushi, I really hate topknots*, parts of my bangs were still allowed to cover part of my closed eye. My Kimono was pure white and was definitely a traditional shinto one. I have no idea where Anko got this but I bet it was from the Hyuugas based on how Hinata is staring at it lovingly. My makeup was done splendidly by the girls, and in all honesty… despite the fact that I never have really viewed myself as this, even in my past life...

I feel as beautiful as the person staring back at me.

Anko leans into my ear, "I know you try to act like a guy. But I know inside of this manly body, there is a young girl who's always dreamed of her wedding day. So please bare with looking like a girl, at least for the ceremony."

I had to lightly bite my painted lips to keep my tears inside, "Thank you Anko…" Before more could be said, Kimimaro entered the room and paused when he saw me.

"Nii-sama?" He looked confused, but I have to admit, a suit looks well on him, "You look… wow. You look more like a Nee-sama than a Nii-sama…"

I roll my eye with a smile, "Thanks Kimi. What are you doing here, un?" Wow my voice really does not fit this outfit. I think all of the girls wincing indicated that they agreed with my thoughts.

Kimimaro offers his arm to me as the girls leave to be with the guests, "Normally a father is the one to give up the bride on their wedding. But as your brother, I have as much jurisdiction."

I sigh and take his arm, "Too bad the boys had to miss this, un."

"They need to train. You can surprise them when they return to the village."

I blindly follow Kimimaro to where all the heartbeats are. Nearly tripping a few times, "Damn sandals, why am I in a bride's kimono?"

"Anko-sensei wanted to have an odd looking white gown instead, but Hiashi-sama suggested you wear that. I guess it was what his wife wore, Hinata said it would make your eye shine." Leave it to the Hyuuga to pick my outfit, "Also making you a new outfit would have taken too long. Anko-sensei wanted the wedding to happen right away."

"Yeah yeah, she wants us to have kids, un." I pause seeing all of the people in a single area, Anko really outdid herself… Wait, why is the daimyo of the fire country here?! Oh right, I'm marrying the now head of the almost extinct Uchiha clan. Thanks dear.

The ceremony happened like any other shinto wedding. Itachi and I did what the monk told us to do, and at the end of it we signed the paper officially making us a married couple. Now all that was left was to sit our butts on some cushions while guests eat and chat.

"Gah I hate weddings…" I sigh and crack my neck, even though the wataboshi is just cloth, it was heavy with my hair.

"Please endure this for a little while longer Dei… We can change once the ceremony is over." Itachi gives me a reassuring smile while drinking some sake. I have to say this… the groom's kimono is unflattering no matter who wears it. Makes him look like someone tied boards to his spine and arms to be as stiff as possible.

I sigh, "Leave it to Anko to push everything forward. Bet she'll be asking when the kids will arrive soon, un." I drink water, thankfully we were in the shade so I wasn't dying in this heavy pile of silks.

"Whenever you are prepared for that sort of thing Dei. I assume you will be doing experiments to make sure your method works?" Before I could answer, Onoki approached us with Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi.

The old man stares at me, ironic that by sitting down I'm at the same height as him, "You've changed Deidara."

I shrug, "I don't feel much different, besides slowly dying of heatstroke in this thing, un." It took me a long time to think about this… but when I had first went to Iwa, and argued with everyone. I had cried. I didn't understand it at first, but after meeting the original Deidara, I found out why.

Those were never my tears, they were Deidara's. Seeing Kurotsuchi as a kid, hell seeing his home for most likely the first time in years, the same home that branded him a traitor must have been hard. Even after all this time, I still cannot see Iwa as another home, but I will accept these three as comrades in future battles.

"So Deidara-nii," Oh yeah, she still calls me that, "why are you in a bride's outfit?"

I sigh, "Anko's idea. She thought this would suit me better… In more ways than one, un." I hear Kisame and Anko snort into their sake nearby us. Due to their status in the wedding, they sat close to us along with Kimimaro. My poor brother is staring at the two adults like they had grown a second head. (AN: Kimimaro still does not know about Deidara. Most of the chibis will not learn the truth until almost the end… Most of the chibis.)

Kurotsuchi didn't understand, but accepted the response anyway. Onoki sighs, "Young folk marrying at this age. Well, I hope you two have a successful marriage." We bow to the trio as they leave.

Anko scoots over to me, "So… Are you two staying in that apartment or are you going to move elsewhere for some… alone time?" She smirks when I started coughing on my water, trying to avoid getting my clothes wet.

While I was preoccupied trying not to die, Itachi spoke up, "I have arranged with Tsunade to allow us to move into my family's home in the compound. As all that land now belongs to Sasuke and I."

Anko whistles, "Uchihas had big houses. Gonna need to have plenty of kids to fill those rooms up." And now I'm dying again.

"A-Anko! What is with you and us having children?!" Oh crap… Gai heard the last part.

"Ah! Such youth! Barely a day married and the youthful couple are thinking of bringing new youths into the world!" Is it just me… or did things get really quiet? Also Kimi honey… don't bend forks that way, mind your table manners.

I wave to everyone frantically, "No! Everyone, do not mind us!" I grab Anko's arm and drag her away, "What the hell is with you wanting us to have kids? Itachi just turned 20 and I'm only 18, we don't have to worry about kids for a long time, un."

She nods, "True, but I have two reasons. The first one is that I know you, Dei-chan. And I know that the moment those boys return from their training, you will work yourself to death in order to change a future that you don't even know will happen anymore. Working on the task now, will save you many problems later on."

Still unconvinced, I fold my arms, "And the second reason?" I pause at the smirk on her face.

"I know you are going to test out a method from your past life. It's a type of surrogacy right?" I nod, "I'm going to be the carrier."

It as was if someone stopped time, that or everything was in slow motion as my brain struggled to catch up, "Wait… what?"

Anko puts her hands on her hips, "Do you honestly think any of the registered carriers would agree to your plans? Especially since that means they don't get to bed that Uchiha waiting for you? Don't lie, I know you want them to inherit his sharingan." She gives me a smile, "Please, you're doing so much already… let me do this for you as a friend. Tsunade even said my body is healthy enough to handle kids."

I cover my mouth with my hand to keep from crying, "But… Anko, no offence… I don't think you could handle pregnancy. At all."

She tugs her own kimono collar down slightly to show her curse mark, "I survived this, a less than 10% chance along with years of emotional trauma knowing my sensei abandoned me. That is forever. Carrying a baby is only for less than a year, and while it's gonna suck… the joy that comes from it is worth it."

I couldn't contain much of my emotions anymore, wrapping my arms around Anko in a tight hug, "Give me until January to think about it. I need time to experiment and visit Uzushio, un." When Anko gave me a thumbs up, we returned to the party to enjoy things.

That evening

When everyone left, I took Itachi to the Hokage monument using a bird "Before we return the kimonos… you already know what needs to be done and said, un." Itachi sighs and nods as I do the familiar hand signs, "Summoning jutsu: edo tensei."

As per usual, the coffin lid falls open and Madara steps out, "At this rate Deidara, you might as well keep me permanently summoned to save cha-" He was rendered speechless seeing our clothes.

I bow to Madara, "Hello Madara-sama, my name is Uchiha Deidara. It is an honor to be a part of your family." Poor Uchiha looks like a gaping fish at this rate, "Senju got your tongue, un?"

Madara sputters for a moment before regaining his composure, crossing his arm as he stares us down, "... Welcome to the family. I trust there is no need for me to give the father speech?"

I hear a very un-Uchiha like sound escape the back of Itachi's throat, kinda like a whimper, as I tilt my head, "The wha?"

Madara twists his wrist in a circular motion, "It is more or less the talk on how you con-" OH NO! I AM NOT HAVING THAT TALK!

I quickly cut him off, "Nevermind! I got the gist of it the moment you used the phrase 'the talk' and there is no need for that, un!" Both Uchiha almost instantly relaxed with a sigh… okay seriously, I know this stuff!

Madara pats my shoulder, obviously aiming for my head but there's the giant white hood blocking it, "Have fun." He returns to his coffin and vanishes. Madara really does not enjoy being summoned outside of a battle for long.

I sigh and look at Itachi, "Come on… let's return these clothes and then head out. I guess Anko even prepared where the honeymoon is suppose to be."

Itachi nods, "Following you."

We were out of the village by the time it got dark.

Last day of the honeymoon

"Dei, are you sure you can gamble?" Itachi gives me an unsure expression as I read up on a slot machine place nearby. I gave myself a limit to the usual 500 ryo and I'm bored.

I snort, "Should have seen me when I was following Jiraiya and Naruto. My sensing abilities are perfect for this kind of thing, un." Satisfied with what I was reading, I give Itachi a quick peck goodbye and head to this shop.

Within moments of entering the building, an employee approaches me, "I'm sorry sir, but you are not allowed in here."

"Pardon, un?" I don't look like a shinobi, my headband is back home and I'm in a dark blue yukata. Plus I am positive I have never been in this town before.

"You were banned from this shop a few months back on accusation of cheating… don't you remember?" Her words were slow, either thinking I'm stupid or trying to make sure she didn't slip up.

My eye twitches, "Ma'am, if I did cheat, there is no way you would have been able to notice." I notice a camera nearby, "Do you have any proof that I was here?"

The employee looked shocked that I would ask such a thing, before nodding and taking me to a very, very basic computer. Entering a few lines of data she replays to me a video feed of… Itachi and me? I quickly turn up the volume to listen to whatever they're saying.

"Heehee, this is easy dattebayo!" I know that verbal tic anywhere, and Itachi's posture is all wrong.

I grit my teeth, "Naruto…" I glare at the employee, only to turn my attention to the shop's owner. He arrived in the hopes his large appearance would scare me off, "I will allow this to slide one time. Next time ID people, those were not me nor my husband. I was in Kirigakure during the time of this recording and can produce the documentation faster than you can throw in an argument, un."

Of course the owner didn't believe me, just scoffed and claimed that I was a cheater. Only to pale when I rolled up my sleeve to reveal my ANBU tattoo.

"As I said, you would never know if I cheated or not. Be grateful I'm not informing the local daimyo that you allowed minors to gamble. I heard this one is rather anti-gamble himself, I wonder what he would do if he learns you pissed someone like me off, un." I turn at my heel and left, returning to the inn Itachi and I are staying at. I begin to seal off the room so no one can hear, while getting a pen and paper.

Itachi's confusion only grew when I threw a pair of earplugs towards him, "What happened?"

"Naruto gambled while looking like me and Sasuke helped, looking like you. Time to test out a new jutsu of mine, wear the earplugs, un." I cast the jutsu as Itachi plugged his ears, the pen floating over the paper as my hair began to wildly float with rage. I take a long, deep breath…

And recreated a howler from Harry Potter. (AN:You will learn the content of this letter during the boy's chapter. They are in trouble~)

Back in Konoha after the honeymoon

We had quickly moved our things in Itachi and Sasuke's old home thanks to Kimimaro's help. He wasn't pleased that I was farther away now, but at the same time with how often Neji spends the night… I doubt he has a reason to complain. (AN:Hint hint. Side story soon. Hint hint)

Kimimaro had also been the one incharge of making sure parts of the house was remodeled, such as replacing the tatami mats and the screen doors. But I had made sure the house remained the same… architecturally speaking.

I made sure this place was homey as hell, like people actually LIVED in it. Family photos, books, adorable pillows in cutesy shapes on the couch, and…

"Dei… why is there a 'Shut up and eat' sign hanging in the kitchen?" Oh yeah, I also got that.

"Because that's my attitude towards food people take the time to make for you, un." Itachi chose to make no further argument. I think he was more relieved that I was changing things up than trying to preserve everything.

Year 1, August

Examining this year's chunin exam roaster was intriguing. Because Sakura and Neji will not be participating in this year's exams, I had Karin be on Ino and Choji's team and Kimimaro with Tenten and Lee, as the twins were not interested in the exams this time around. Though when I got to the Takigakure teams, my heart sank within an instant.

This was the chunin exams where Fuu gets captured, and I have no idea what goes on in this entire exam besides the Akatsuki succeeding in getting her. (AN: Please note that I am also blind in this. So facts will be out of order unless my beta corrects me.)

Panic sweps over me as I rush back home, Itachi was in the middle of packing for a mission but was concerned by the expression on my face, "Dei?"

"The chunin exams! The chunin exams are in a week!" By breath becomes short and infrequent, I was having an actual panic attack. I've been avoiding most events that were unknown to me, but I can't let this one slide, not without trying.

Itachi raises an eyebrow, "Why are you panicked then? You know what happens right?"

I rapidly shake my head, "No, I don't! I know the majority of the filler events that were made during the original series, but this exam was made years after! During the shippuden episodes!" Itachi still seemed lost, "Itachi, I stopped watching most of the fillers. This one in particular I am completely blind except for the fact that Hidan and Kakuzu capture Fuu, un!"

Itachi's face lit up with understanding, before pulling me into an embrace with the hopes of calming me down, "Dei… You shouldn't stress yourself. If you are unsure what happens, then allow things to happen. You should not burden yourself with events you may be unable to change." He was right… of course he was right, but at the same time…

"I have to try at least, I don't want another Hayate!" I can feel tears threatening to pool out, because I went to get Karin, Hayate was dead. If I leave the chunin exams alone, Fuu is dead. She may be dead no matter what I do, but that doesn't stop the fact that I can at least do something about it.

Itachi carefully lets me go, "Then watch over the examine, keep an eye on Fuu. If you fail then do not beat yourself over it, some things cannot be changed." I nod slightly in agreement, calming myself down.

He's right, I need to keep my head clear in all this. Otherwise Fuu is as good as dead.

During Fuu's travel back to Takigakure

'I have no idea what the fuck is going on!' Was my only thought process as I flew around like a headless pigeon over the forest nearby Takigakure. It was hard to keep track of Fuu and her teammates. They were jumping all over the place, as if realizing I was following them and were trying to lose me.

My chibis handled the men trying to overthrow the chunin exams perfectly. But the exams were cut short, leaving me free to follow the teammates. I can't land on the ground because I would get lost, not to mention it would only make her teammates more suspicious of me. Fuu was a sweetheart, as an ANBU, I was able to watch the genin interact and she's such a ball of happy.

I eventually see her teammates reach a clearing, a little worse for wear… but… where is Fuu? I leap off the bird and land in front of them, my ANBU mask was enough to set them into a defensive stance, "Where is Fuu?"

One of her teammates scoff, "Konoha ANBU? What the hell do you care about that freak?" Excuse me? The fuck you just say?

"Answer me before I end your pathetic existence." I cause an explosion by the tree next to them to get my point across.

"Tch, a couple of guys in black coats took her. We had no reason to argue."

The other one pipes in, acting all smug, "Yeah she was a monster anyway. Saves the village some troub-" He didn't get to visit that sentence when my fist collided with his face.

So this is what Deidara ment in shippuden when he said some villages were happy to give up their jinchuuriki. Both men freeze when clay centipedes wrap around them, "Please enjoy my art as you die, and remember my name, Deidara. Older brother to the Kyuubi no jinchuuriki, un."

Both of their eyes widen at the last bit, realizing how stupid it was of them of them to insult Fuu in my presence, "Wai-"

"Katsu." It wasn't even worth looking back at the clouds. I made a mad dash towards the forest, praying I find Hidan and Kakuzu before they get out of my range.

"Come on… come on come on come on… I can't be late. They're slow. They're-" I stop in my track when the three heartbeats became four, then two. Zetsu took Fuu… the Akatsuki took the Nanabi.

I'm too late.

Back in Konoha

Things went in a blur that I could hardly remember. All of the main characters became chunin because of their actions in the desert. But I was too numb to let the happiness sink in, Kimimaro was the one to tell me the news. He was also the one to hold me as I screamed and wailed at how I failed to get Fuu.

With Hayate it was different, I didn't know when he died exactly, and I had made preparations for him. With Fuu, I knew what day she was taken, but I had no way to prepare without raising suspicions towards Takigakure.

I tried, but I failed, there was no beating around the bush on that matter. It wasn't until I saw Asuma talking with Kurenai that a new thought waved through my head.

'I lost Fuu, but hell be damned if I'm letting Asuma die. Hidan and Kakuzu will die, immortals or not… no mercy.'

Year 1, November

Not much is know about Uzushiogakure… I blame Kishimoto on that matter. It took me ages to even find the stupid village on a MAP there's so little information. I guess that's what happens when it's runned by one clan that all but died off in the last few generations.

I mulled over my options for a while, before deciding to take Karin with me, she deserves to at least see the birthplace of her clan. But I only took her under the condition that she does not interfere with anything that I do in that village… that includes the two unconscious missing nins that I may or may not have captured in a previous mission.

I look at Karin when I land my bird into the rubble and ruins, "Go do whatever you wish, find scrolls that you find to be interesting, books, relics of the clan's past. If you see any scrolls on sealing, just toss them in this bag so I can send them to Naruto please, un." I hand her a second sack for her to fill.

She gives me a confused look, "So what are you doing?"

I tilt my head to the side and shift my foot around, once I found the object of my desire, I send off several C1s to that location, "Oh, you know. Jutsu related things. Katsu." I quickly grab Karin to shield her from flying rubble and dust that decided to head our way, leaving the girl shocked.

"Y-you just destroyed potentially decades of history! How can you do that?!" She sounded more panicked then angry if anything else.

I shrug, "Relax, I only destroyed the front part of the building, I needed access to the basement and there was rubble in the way. No one comes here anymore anyway, un." The fact that this place has already been left to rot away further adds to my apathy. Honestly, Konoha and Uzushio were such important allies, but the moment the village falls Konoha doesn't even blink, or try to restore the village, "Remember, if you sense odd chakra in my direction, stay away. You'd know if I was in any real danger, un." I pat Karin's head before sending the teen off.

Leading my bird over to the building, I calmly ignore the yells from my captives as I descend into the basement. I could practically smell the forbidden energy radiating from the room preserved from time with the exception of cobwebs and thick layers of dust. Uzumakis really did make sure their more important jutsus were nicely sealed away huh?

I only took what I needed, there was a seal in here made to kill those runned by greed. A medical sealing scroll that the girls can use to further their skills, some advanced seals for Naruto to practice on when he is older, and one other scroll for myself that held some… rather interesting jutsus. But the icing on the cake was the sets of masks hanging in the far back of the room, "Oh, sweet. I thought Orochimaru got that a long time ago… or are there more of these outside of Uzushio? Guess I'm in the nick of time, un." I approached the masks cautiously, mindful of any traps or ancient seals that may be used to guard the mask. It was… oddly free of any of those things.

Picking up one of the shinigami's mask, I look at the two missing nins that were now having the biggest freak out, "Sorry, but maybe in your next life, you'll learn not to murder innocents, un."

One of them spats at me, "You monster! Trying to be righteous when you're thinking about commiting murder yourself!"

I raise an eyebrow, "Okay, when have I ever said that I was righteous? I ain't no Light Yagami, un." I snicker at my inside joke, "You're wanted dead in several countries, A ranked criminals that are not yet Akatsuki material. I'm using you two for my own selfish desires and there is frankly nothing either of you can do about it. Now shut up and face death like men, un." The bird poofs away as I review the mask's instructions on a nearby scroll then slip on the mask, I can feel the shinigami appear above me as it starts to slice open it's belly, I quickly weave the hand signs that are on the scroll to make sure only my two desired souls leave and not Orochimaru's arms. I'm sorry Minato… Hiruzen, but this is not your time yet. I still get this painful slice across my side, but it's not as big as it would have been, had I made the shinigami release all of the other souls. I don't need to die just yet, though I need to stop the bleeding.

"Edo tensei!" I slam my hand on the ground as the two missing nins yell in agony as dust and other particles cover their bodies. Replacing their features with two familiar ones, "Hope you two remember me...Hashirama-sama… Tobirama-baka, un." The mask falls off my face as I collapse to my knees. I am definitely not doing this again.

The two Hokages give me these dumb looks before recognition lit up in Hashi's eyes, causing him to dramatically point at me, "You're the boy that reanimated Madara!" Nooooooooo, I'm the ice cream man. OF COURSE I'M THAT BOY!

Tobirama looks at his hands disgusted, "Edo tensei again? Don't people understand that I made this technique forbidden for a reason?" Both me and Hashirama give him blank looks, not our fault you invented this stupid jutsu, "Also, why are you bleeding?"

I sigh, vision getting hazy, "Released you two from the shinigami's stomach. I was suppose to be a sacrifice, but these old jutsus are full of loopholes, un. Whoo boy… the room is getting spinny." I sit myself down on my butt and pull out a plasma pill from my pouch to replenish lost blood, followed with some bandages. I need to close the wound before I bleed out, or before-

"Deidara-san!" Damnit Karin! I said to not come near here! The redhead ignores the two Hokages as she kneels by me using medical ninjutsu to lessen the bleeding, "I'm sorry, but your chakra was fading. Here, bite." She tries to shove her unoccupied arm into my mouth which I lean away from.

"Karin, I refuse to bite you under any circumstances. I'd sooner bleed out- WHAT DID I JUST SAY, UN?!" Karin seemed to have decided if she can't get the mouth on my face to bite her, she would use my palm mouth to bite her!

"I am a teenager, and I am acting my age by not listening to adult authority." She's basically using my own words against me, that sneaky little bi-

"She heals people by biting? No doubt that was abused during war times." Oh right, the Hokages. We both look at Tobirama, who had made that statement, "And an Uzumaki too."

"Ah! An Uzumaki! Like Mito!" Hashirama sounds like a happy kid when talking about his wife.

Karin pales after sensing their chakra, "Deidara-san… they're…"

"Our secret Karin, I do not want anyone to know about them. I am using edo tensei for the same reasons why I adopted you, un." While looking suspicious at first, she nods after a moment, but was still unsure, "Please Karin… this is important."

Karin bites her lower lip, "O… okay… but you owe me an explanation." Why did I let her come with me again?

I sigh, "Fine fine, now please… go explore your ancestral home. I'll find you later, un." I kiss the side of her head when she finally allowed my palm mouth to let her go. Once I was satisfied with how far away she was, I push myself back onto my feet.

Now for the funsies, talking to two Hokages.

"Explain." Tobirama really hates beating around the bush.

My voice becomes monotonous and blank with a heavy wave of apathetic disinterest, "I am the soul of a 19 year old woman who died and now I'm in the body of a hot tempered bomber. You two are part of one of my generation's most popular manga and I would show you proof but neither of you have sharingan. Boo… hoo… in any case, I reanimated you two so I could discuss future plans and also change Tobirama-baka's opinions on Uchihas, un." I ended that all with a bored sigh… in reality I just ended up sounding like a really angsty teenager.

"Reincarnation, huh?" Hashirama seemed to legit believe in me based on his body language, granted he is the reincarnation of Hagoromo's son… which one was it again? I need to review my notes.

"Why should I change my opinions on the Uchiha clan? They are trapped in a cursed cycle of hatred and-" Blah blah blah, I stopped listening to Tobirama's attempted at Anti-Uchiha talk-no- jutsu.

"Tobirama! You should not speak of Uchiha that way, what about Kagami?" Oh right, Tobirama trained an Uchiha.

Tobirama folds his arms, "Kagami was different, he didn't behave like the other Uchiha."

I wave my arm, "Um… I'm still here, un." I think they forgot I was in the room based on Hashirama jolting where he stood.

"Oh! Sorry about that, we tend to get focused on our topics… what was your name again? I remember it being mentioned just before we fought Hiruzen, but… well..." He rubs the back of his head sweat dropping while his brother looked at him like he was an idiot.

I smirk, "That is kind of the main reason why I wanted to speak with you two. My name is Deidara… Uchiha Deidara. Husband of Uchiha Itachi, one of three remaining Uchiha alive. I should also note that Itachi is the one that wiped out the entire Uchiha clan except for his baby brother, with the help of someone impersonating Madara, un." I think I split Tobirama's head in two.

"You... married an Uchiha? Specifically the one that killed his entire clan? Why would you marry someone obviously going down the path of hatred… also aren't you a male?" Wow, he was asking all of the really important questions until he mentioned the whole gender thing.

I sigh, "The Uchiha… were planning a coup, no thanks to how they were treated." I give Tobirama a blaming glare, "And so in order to protect the village, he was ordered to kill every last member of his clan. But he could not kill his brother, so he branded himself a traitor to keep the truth behind the Uchiha clan a secret and Sasuke safe, acting as a spy in an organization called the Akatsuki. He had the intention of making Sasuke kill him. Everything he did was for the sake of the village… Also no one cares that we are men, un."

"I knew the Uchiha were a clan of evil… the rebellious nature of Madara still resided within them." What the fuck did I just say Tobirama?

"How… can the Nidaime Hokage… the one that made the ANBU system… the shinobi academy… and the mission ranking system… be so stupid?" I ignore Tobirama's tick mark on his forehead, "You put the Uchiha in a police force, a type of authoritative position that people generally hate. When the fake Madara used the Kyuubi to attack Konoha, the Uchiha clan was blamed on the attack because the village elders and Hiruzen ordered the clan to protect civilians, leaving their casualties to almost zero, un. The clan was denied any possibilities of growing in rank, trust, or unity within the village because of your actions while being Hokage… had the village allowed the Uchiha clan to help… the Yondaime Hokage would still be alive… and Naruto…" My eye hardens, "Tobirama. If you think the Uchiha clan is possessed by evil, than I am evil incarnated, because my hatred for you… is immeasurable."

Hashirama noticed Tobirama and my stiff postures, "Itachi sounds like a good man, I would like to meet him in person." He walks over and slams his hand on my back smiling, "Also who is the Hokage now?"

"Tsunade-sama, un."

Wow, Hashirama went into an emo corner, "Tsuna, huh…?"

I start sweat dripping profusely as I wave my hands,"She's doing a good job in all actuality. She healed my brother and Itachi, both dying due to lung related illnesses. She has her gambling problems, but the village has been flourishing, un." I chose not to mention that I keep bringing extremely dangerous shinobi into the village.

Hashi leaps to his feet relieved, "Oh… phew… at least it's not as bad as I thought. Alright, if you want to change Tobirama's mind on Uchiha, we're going to have to meet Itachi!"

I sweat drop, "This will be interesting, un." I rub my neck with a nervous chuckle.

"He has no idea you are here, am I correct?" Tobirama doesn't sound impressed.

"Itachi… thinks I'm here to find jutsu on gender changing… which I did, but I also came here to reanimate you two." Oh boy, I'm in trouble when I get home.

I quickly lead the two Hokages outside and create some birds, Karin returns with the two bags full of various items. Granted the bags were no bigger than a small backpack, but that was still a lot considering this place is in ruins. Making sure Karin has no intentions of telling anyone about the Hokages, I send her off home on her bird with her bag, while I flew to the Uchiha compound.

Kicking off my shoes at the door, the Hokages repeating my actions just more polite, I call out for Itachi, "I'm home! And I brought guests, un!"

Itachi steps out of the kitchen area wearing his usual outfit and… oh Kami he has an apron on, "Welcome home Dei-... Deidara…" He gives me a peeved look when he sees the Hokages.

I shrink slightly, "Um… I got scrolls? Come on Itachi, you should have known I would do something this crazy, I mean I did reanimate Mada- RA!" I froze in place when Itachi jabs at the sensitive spot on my neck, arching my back purely out of reflex. The Uchiha calmly picks me up and sets me down on our futon in the bedroom.

"Take a nap Dei, I'll talk with them." He covers me up with a blanket before putting away his apron and returning to the living room to speak with the Hokages. I would climb out of bed, but it was so comfy… sleep sounds nice.

A few hours later

A hand shook me awake. Cracking open me eye, instead of Itachi, I see Hashirama. Behind him was Tobirama, still talking with Itachi quietly.

"He's a good man… He may even be a better Hokage than I ever was, but you should unsummon us before anyone else finds out." Hashirama grins as I slowly get out of bed, taking my place by Itachi's side.

Tobirama nods in agreement, "I have to agree… I never met an Uchiha who had that much wisdom… especially a brat." Excuse you Tobirama, we're adults.

"Glad you two were able to talk with Itachi, I'll go over more of my plans with you two at a later time, un." I allow the Hokages to enter their coffins so I could unsummon them. Madara is going to kill me when he learns I reanimated Hashirama and Tobirama.

"Dei, send your scrolls to Naruto, you're in trouble for not telling me that you were going to reanimate the Hokages."

Scratch that, my husband is going to kill me first.

Year 2, January

I met up with Anko at Konoha's hospital, "Okay Dei-chan. Explain the process."

I sigh, patting a sealed container, "I used a special transformation jutsu I found in Uzushio along with Naruto's sexy jutsu to create a sex change jutsu. I tested it on about… 20 rats, and all had the proper transformation, while also able to change into their original sex without medical repercussion. After testing the jutsu on some bandits - yeah I know, there still are bandits around - I used the jutsu on myself. After that it was a matter of collecting some of my eggs and Itachi's sperm to fertilize, un." By the obvious body parts and my deep voice, I did not stay a female.

Anko's shoulders slump, "Aw, you two didn't make them yourselves?" She pouts in disappointment.

"Pervert. Anyway, the procedure worked well, all but… maybe 5 of the eggs we used were successfully fertilized. Tsunade was quick to figure out how to make everything work, un." I fold my arms, nodding proudly. (AN: The process is called gestational surrogacy. Anko will in no way be related to these infants, Deidara and Itachi are the biological parents. The process may be slightly different due to the usage of jutsus and seals.)

At first, Anko seemed excited about the whole thing, until she noticed a detail in my response, "You experimented on people? But that's-"

I hold up my hand, "Something Orochimaru does? Yes. And I am not going to defend myself or say I am morally better than him, because I'm not. I'm human. I'm selfish. And I also do not care about people I do not know, un." When Anko gave me a look of uncertainty I continue, "In a way, Orochimaru and I are alike. I love science, I love when things develop into a new idea, but I also practice what I preach. If I am going to say that I will do whatever it takes to reach my goal, then I will do whatever it takes, un."

Anko nods, understanding my reasoning and the issue is quickly dropped, "Alright. So, how many do I start with?"

"One."

Someone must have released a box full of crickets, cause it went eerily quiet all of the sudden.

" 'One'?! Aw come on Dei-chan, you gotta have twins!" I think I need to get Anko a boyfriend if she's this baby crazy.

I sweatdrop, "Anko, two issues. One: this is your body, I don't think you'll enjoy having two squirming 9 pound bags of flesh inside you. And two: Itachi and I are still young, I don't think it would be best for either of us to raise two infants at once, un."

Anko snorts, "Please, I'll be fine. Besides you raised Naruto when you were just 11, Itachi basically raised Sasuke at the age of 5. You two will be awesome parents!"

My shoulders slump, I have a feeling I'm going to lose this battle, "If… you say so… But I don't want children until after shippuden, I know Kurenai is pregnant, but I want my kids in a safer envior-"

"Great! I'm going to tell Tsunade to prepare the procedure!"

"Anko wai- and she's gone, un." My hand collides with my face. She's going to regret being this impatient. Not to mention I'm going to have to prepare to keep two infants away from Obito… Madara can have that honor. Oh well, we'll have a fun baby reveal for Itachi.

Year 2, March

Itachi's going to be home any minute. Anko's chilling on the couch with me under some fuzzy blankets, using my stomach as a footrest while she munched on dango. Turns out her pregnancy cravings are most likely not gonna change from her normal diet.

"I'm going to be huge." Anko honestly hasn't complained, except for morning sickness, nothing else has made her whine much.

"I'll get you more comfy clothes as you get larger, un." If I had a cell phone, this is where I would be boredly scrolling through a fanfiction or playing a game. We had already prepared the whole baby reveal thing for Itachi, but once it was all set up we got bored. Thankfully our boredom was cut short when Itachi stepped into the house, "Welcome home Itachi."

He pauses when he sees Anko, in reality he's most likely focused on how we're just tangled under a mess of blankets, "Did I miss a slumber party you ladies had?" He ducks and catches a pillow I threw at his head.

"Oh yes love, we painted our nails, did each other's make-up and talked about how, like, I have the cutest husband in the world." I ended up developing a valley girl accent midway through that sentence, along with the flicking water off hand gesture and raising my eyes up. This resulted in the two looking at me like I was some wild animal, "Sorry, it's an accent in my past life that people like to make fun of, un." (AN: I'm talking about the one that's always on TV shows and movies, no offence to anyone that has that actual accent.)

Itachi nods in understanding, "Hn." Followed by going into the kitchen, most likely to make some tea.

"Itachi, I think I left something in the oven, can you get it out please?" Anko snickers next to me. It's cliche, but with how dense Uchihas can be, I'd rather not try to be super clever.

A few seconds later, Itachi speaks up, "Why are there two loaves of bread in the oven?" Are you kidding me? He doesn't get it? Anko and I seemed to have the same thought process as we shared a glance.

Rolling off the couch, I walk into the kitchen and stare at Itachi blankly, "Itachi… they're buns." Nothing, "Buns in the oven?" Again, nothing, "Oh my Jesus… Itachi, did your mother not do anything fun to reveal that she was pregnant with Sasuke, un?" Random English aside, I quickly snap a picture as Itachi's calm composure goes into one of pure panic as he examines my stomach, "Not me!" I dramatically point at Anko, who waves.

Itachi tilts his head with furrowing eyebrows, "Anko is… Dei how does that relate to us- oh." Now he gets it!

I clap my hands, "Yay! You understand! We're having ki- YIPE!" This time it wasn't because Itachi jabbed my neck, but instead it was because the Uchiha is hugging the life out of me. I'm not the one carrying the babies, hug Anko! Speaking of the woman, she's laughing her ass off in the living room, damnit.

"I-Itachi, I get you are excited, but please… try not to kill me, un!" Itachi quickly lets me go so I can inhale the beautiful resource that is air. While I'm recovering, Itachi somehow teleported himself and is now thanking Anko.

"Nah, don't thank me. I'm just excited to have chibis call me Auntie Anko!" That still didn't stop Itachi from expressing his happiness. It reminded me of whenever he held Sasuke as baby, just uncontrollable joy.

I pipe in, "By the way Itachi, it's twins, un."

THUD

"Itachi? Oh dear, he fainted… wait, Uchiha can faint?!"

Year 2, April

The boys would be returning to Konoha soon, so I'm just scrambling to make sure things are prepared for shippuden. One of them was making sure all of the chibis were fully trained and prepared…

Which is why I'm with Sakura and her father clothes shopping.

As much as I like Sakura's outfit in shippuden, I wanted her to wear something that made her look a little older to fit her mature attitude. Also her father is not the best judgement in clothes. I respect the guy entirely, but he needs to not be the one to decide what his daughter should wear. Like right now.

"Haruno-san, Sakura is not going to wear a frilly outfit like that, un." I calmly take the offending article of clothing out of Sakura's hand and back on the rack. Without breaking eye contact, I give Sakura some clothes to try on and send her to the changing room.

Her dad pouts, "Aw… can't she wear that when she's off duty then?" Kizashi was a really sweet man, loves his daughter. But he can be clueless about girls sometimes.

I shake my head, "No, she is going to be in the medical field. Being off duty is almost not an option… and she's becoming a woman, she needs to express that, un."

Kizashi nods solemnly, "They grow up too fast…"

I sigh in empathy, "I know. My boys are up for the adventure of a lifetime, I just hope I'm able to get them prepared in time…"

"Thank you."

I raise an eyebrow at the sudden statement. He continues, "Sakura has always been a timid child, meeting Ino helped that. But after meeting you, I have never seen my girl be so driven to be something besides the wife of some boy. So thank you." I was speechless, usually talking with Kizashi ended up in a bicker contest, but I'm actually hearing him thanking me.

"Hey tou-san, Deidara-sensei. What do you two think?" We turn to face Sakura.

She was dressed exactly like in Naruto: the Last Movie. I never watched the movie but I have seen screenshots of Sakura in her outfit. Her hair still flared outward like in shippuden, but some proper brushing will fix that. Overall, she looked beautiful.

"We need to tweak your hair, but you look mature and beautiful. A proper young woman, un." Sakura's face glowed at the praise, while also blushing as her father is gushing over how cute she looked.

Satisfied that she will go with this look, I leave the shop to head home.

Year 2, early May

I was with Kimimaro when I sensed it. We waited over two years for this moment to happen, and I could barely contain my excitement threatening to explode.

I look up at my younger brother, he's gotten taller in the last two years… way taller, "Kimimaro! They're home, un!" I create a clone to alert Itachi as we make a beeline for the gates.

My boys were back home.


"The boys are back, the boys are back! Climbing up the walls anytime we want! The word is out, the boys are back!" - High School Musical 3 "The Boys are Back"

Don't ask, I was bored. XD Anyway, all this crazy stuff happened at once and holy shit am I never going to do this kind of thing again for a long time… is what I wish I could say but I still need to finish the boys' chapter.

So now Itachi and Dei are married, and they will be having 2 little babies later in the story. I had Anko rush everything because honestly, that is something she would do. The babies will be born before Kurenai's kid, but I won't say when. :P

Sadly Fuu was captured, there was honestly no real reason for me to be able to save her due to Takigakure having their thumbs up their asses. I mean, look at what happened to Kakuzu, he became a rogue ninja because he failed to assassinate the God of Shinobi. Plus Deidara was clueless the entire time. Sorry to those that were hoping I would save her.

*It would be easier to just google what Deidara is wearing, but he was talking about the 2 types of headwear Japanese woman could wear in a traditional wedding. The topknot thing is because that is what the hair is basically done up in when wearing the tsunokakushi. Long story short: It will save the headache to just google everything.

Next chapter will be the boys' perspective on the past 2 ½ years. I may or may not have things be dated unless it corresponds to whatever happened during these past 2 chapters. (like the gambling) It will not be as complex as these chapters, just a series of random events the boys deal with. Kinda like a crap ton of side stories.

As always, reviews are loved and I will see you guys next week.

Bye!
