This idea has been floating around my head for awhile now and so I finally pulled it all together! No I'm not going to stop my other stories just for this but I will be dividing my time on all of them equally so please enjoy my newest story

The only things I own is the story plot and families of the Akatsuki kiddies the rest belong to Misashi Kishimoto

please R&R

Edit: I changed the time this takes place from two years to ten to make the time line seem more realistic

Exactly ten years after the Edo Tensei war 8 young children were found by four different families, two of the children were raised by a traveling merchant who set up a permanent residence in the village Hidden in the Leaf to give the two boys some stability, another two were taken in by a kind elderly woman who always wanted grandkids but never got to as she lost her only child before the war two years ago, another two were taken in by a newlywed couple and figured the two boys would help prepare them for having a child of their own in the future and finally the last two were taken in and raised by a family of florists. The families would never know the children's true identities till they found out themselves many years later, nor could one of them escape the torment he would receive from paranoid villagers. The adopted parents of the children would never know right away about the truth as they were not ninja's but would find out when the 8 boys would be too young to remember anyways, the truth that they were 8 members of the Akatsuki given a second chance at their lives and their old memories deeply suppressed till the time was right for them.

~~~~~~Reborn~~~~~

Part 1: Beginning at the Academy

~~~~Deidara POV~~~~

It was bright and early when I woke up to the realization of this special day with a smile on my face. Today was my elder brother's birthday and the day dad was going to let us both go join the Academy! Jumping out of bed with my natural grace of course I ran over to my closet and grabbed the first pair of cloths I could find that matched with each other and I grabbed the gift I begged dad to buy for me to give as a present to my one year older brother. I rushed to get dressed then ran out only to run back into my room after realizing I forgot the gift on the bed, grabbed it then ran out again to my brother's room that had the whole familiar sign telling people to knock before entering, which I always ignore. I opened the door a quietly as possible then snuck up to the still sleeping form of my brother only to get surprised when his hand came out from the covers, grabbed my long hair and pulled me down to meet his brown eyed glare.

"Do you even know what time it is Deidara?" my red haired brother growled, he really liked his sleep.

"Yeah but do you know what day it is Sasori?" I asked wincing slightly from a few hairs being pulled out but was still able to keep a big grin on my face.

"Wednesday?" Sasori asked still sounding very tired and I laughed at that.

"Yes, BUT Today's also our first day at the Academy so get up lazy bones, un!" That seemed to get him up fast and get him awake faster.

"DAMN IT I FORGOT!" Sasori cursed as he rushed out of bed and pushed me to get out while he dressed himself. He truly did like his privacy as well, if you asked me why I could never give you an answer except for maybe he doesn't like people looking at his puppet arm. Why does he have a puppet arm, well two years ago while traveling to Iwagakura (A place that for some reason I naturally hatted) with dad for a client meeting his original arm got crushed and had to be amputated and about two months after that he insisted on getting a puppet like one and learn chakra control for it and well after the whole thing I asked him why and he could never tell me why just that something told him he should. If you looked at it you would never be able to tell it was a puppet arm until he rolled the sleeve up to his elbow where the first joint was and all the way up to his shoulder where the connecter was, to make it look so human had taken the best chakra wood crafter about two months to make.

"Hurry up let's get breakfast then get to the academy I don't want to be late!" the sound of my brother's voice snapped me out of my musings and caused me to smile.

"Yeah un!" I exclaimed running off to the kitchen with Sasori in tow.

Once we got to our small kitchen and right before I could grab anything Sasori said something that made me freeze in my tracks.

"Deidara, you forgot your gloves again!" That immediately caused me to stiffen and look at my hands only for the mouths on them to grin up at me.

"Crap, un not again! I'll be right back." I said running to my room and grabbing the gloves, they were plain black and fingerless resting just a few inches away from my wrists. I end up wearing them a lot as Sasori and I help dad whenever we can and the mouths sometimes open and drool when I'm not paying attention… the gloves help prevent them from biting or drooling on dad's merchandise. After putting the gloves on and hurrying back to the kitchen I remembered the gift I had gotten for my brother's birthday. I quickly went into the baggy sleeved shirt I was wearing and pulled the small box out of one of the hidden pockets and hurried to my red haired brother's side.

"Here, happy birthday un!" I exclaimed practically shoving the box into his hand, which only after feeling it did I realize it was the puppet one. I saw his eyebrow quirk and he had a confused look all while opening the box to find the scroll I had gotten for him, it had many instructions in it for creating and maintaining puppet's. "Do you like it?"

"Well it's definitely interesting, thanks." Sasori said as I saw him give a smirk that if you weren't dad or me you wouldn't realize that is was his actual smile and not a mischievous or sarcastic one, but an actual joyful smile. Seeing that it made a smile come to my face.

"You're welcome!" I chirped and began getting my breakfast ready.

When we were both already eating was when Dad came in yawning from most likely pulling another all-nighter. Neither of us looked like him in even the slightest, he had brown hair that would usually be neatly combed back but right now it was messed up over his bright green eyes. Even though he never said it both of us knew we are adopted by the simple fact of not looking like him and dad never having any interests in relationships.

"Morning dad!" both of us said smiling, though Sasori made sure he was done chewing before talking and then I noticed he shot me an annoyed look.

"Stop talking with your mouth full." He said sending me a glare to which I smirked at and finished what I had in my mouth before replying to it.

"Which one are we talking about un?"

"Boys, boys how many times do I have to tell you no arguing at the table." Dad laughed as he set himself up a bowl of cereal as well.

"Sorry dad…" we both said simultaneously again.

"So dad you done balancing out your sale results yet?" Sasori asked his eyes sparkling in anticipation and I felt mine as well, usually when he's done with that he's always free to hang out with us and sometimes if the sales where good he'd take us out to dinner.

"Yes I have Sasori, and I've got a little surprise for you after your get back from the academy." Dad said smiling which in turn made both of us smile.

He's a better dad then my original one… wait what? I thought to myself for some reason I had thought I knew my original dad but how could I when I'm only six years old?

~~~~Obito POV~~~~

I heard the sounds of people screaming in pain and anger not too far away from where ever the hell I was. I was both confused and scared at the same time as I just stood and watched as some sort of a monster was killing everyone there.

"-bito…"

The smell of blood seemed to also be strong and no matter how much I wanted to look away I couldn't. Then in the distance I saw a person standing on top of the monster… seemingly controlling it.

"…Obito."

No, there… there were two people controlling it, one was in some sort of a red and black outfit the other looked… looked almost like he was wearing the colors of the Uchiha clan.

"WAKE UP OBITO!'

SMACK!

"OW, what was that for?!" I yelled after getting slapped on the face… really hard I might add.

"You looked like you were having another nightmare. Plus we were calling your name at least seven times." It took a moment, as I'm really not a morning person to realize it was my brother(s?) that woke me up.

"Oh…. Sorry Zetsu…" I replied while rubbing the back of my head sheepishly only to earn a glare from the black half of my brother's face, but a slight smile from the white half… yeah it still confuses me to this day how he can do that.

"No worries, we were just worried. Do not let it happen again." I felt a sweat drop at the last part… since this kind of thing happens a lot… as well as me making us both late for pretty much everything.

"R-right, I'll just tell my brain to stop giving me nightmares all the time." Came my reply and I secretly hoped he wouldn't start arguing with himself over me.

"Just ignore him alright, mom's got breakfast ready." The white side smiled and left, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

The past three weeks it's been the same dream and each time it gets clearer… does it mean something? I thought to myself while scratching at the right side of my face that, for as long as I can remember had a weird half spiral scar-lines on it… wait BREAKFAST?! No other thoughts entered my mind as I race out of the room at top speeds and practically jumped into my seat at the table.

"I'M HERE!" I exclaimed slapping my hands on either side of my plate ready to eat. I quickly noticed the stare from my sister, the sigh from dad, the smile from mom and the face palm(s?) from Zetsu. Yup just another average day for us.

"Great now we don't have to start breakfast without you." Mom said with her smile still present.

"I just don't get how you manage to be late for breakfast all the time." Mayu, my sister, sighed as she just started eating.

"Well, first I just sit there and sort out my thoughts, then…" I started but got caught off.

"Just save the explanation for later and eat, after all today's the day." The black half of Zetsu said and I was confused… it honestly didn't hit me till I was half way finished eating.

"GAH I FORGOT!" I exclaimed finishing eating as fast as I could without choking then ran right back to my room to get dressed. Even while in my room I could still hear dad's voice downstairs.

"When will that boy ever learn?"

Finally dressed I checked the time, if Zetsu and I ran right now we'd both be at the academy about thirty minutes early, and by being thirty minutes early we'd make a good impression that we, or more like I'm, not lazy or never take anything seriously.

"Let's go, go, GO Zetsu! Don't want to be late on the first day!" I exclaimed rushing back down the stairs and grabbed my shoes right away.

"Wait don't forget your lunches!" mom said rushing over with the bags that Zetsu grabbed and held on to.

"And don't forget you boys are helping me organize the shop when you get back." Dad said with a stern expression on his face… he's always been stern like that.

"I know dad, bye!" I exclaimed and once I saw Zetsu had his shoes on I grabbed his arm and dragged him out the door with me despite his darker half's protests.

Half way through the journey I was hunched over on the sidewalk out of breath.

"I told you to stop and that you were pushing yourself to hard but did you listen? Awe lay off; he's at least trying to break his always late habit." I heard my brother(s?) comment while I just was trying to catch my breath.

"Alright…. I think…. I'm good now." I breathed as I straightened up but to fast as I stumbled a bit and temporarily lost my vision. "DAMN!"

"Maybe we should get you some water first…" the nicer half asked as I felt his hand on my arm.

"No, no I'm good, vision's coming back! Come on we've got to go!" I exclaimed and was about to take off again till I saw a black cat cross our path. "Some way other than this way!" I could practically hear Zetsu's face palm(s?) as I turned another direction to avoid the bad-luck cat.

~~~~Hidan POV~~~~

The minute the scent of cooking bacon entered my room I sat up awake and drooled.

"Food…" I muttered.

"Oi idiot hurry up before breakfast gets cold!" called the voice of my annoying bastard of a brother.

"OI WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING AND IDIOT!" I raged back and was about to run out of my room till mom's voice caught me.

"HIDAN!"

"Sorry mom!" I exclaimed back in fear… mom gets real pissed when I swear, though I can't help it! Dad says it's a verbal tic or something. I then finally made my way to the table of our apartment and saw my little two year old sister in her high chair.

"Hey princess, ignore what I f-freaking yelled earlier ok?" I asked and caught myself before I could swear around her… and mom being in the kitchen.

"Congratulations Hidan you finally learned a small bit of control." I turned and glared at the bastard.

"Shut the h-"

"Do not finish that sentence young man!" came mom's interruption and I flinched again.

"Sorry mom!" I squeaked.

"I swear Hidan, you say that more times in a day then how much I earn." Came dad's voice and I looked at him and was about to speak till dad continued. "And you Kakuzu have got to stop antagonizing your brother all the time."

"He just makes it too easy though." Damn bastard.

"I do not!" I exclaimed ready to charge at him till the princess spoke.

"Note!" she chirped happily… damn can't stay mad around her.

"Ha you said it Segumi." Dad said jokingly as he just sat at the table as mom came in with breakfast ready.

"You boy's ready for the first day?" she asked with a smile on her face.

"Fu-…" I stopped at the glare she gave me making me sweat bullets. "Y-Yeah is what I meant to say… J-just yeah"

"I'm ready." The damn bastard Kakuzu said calmly and I could see his smirk through the cloth mask he wears to cover the stitches on his cheeks.

"That's good, now eat up boys you'll need the energy." Mom said returning to her smile… I prefer mom a lot better when she's happy to when she's fucking pissed, dad does as well since the last time he just grabbed me and Kakuzu then ran out of the apartment like fucking demons of hell where chasing us. Which I swear to fucking Kami they were with everything she was throwing at us! And that was when I was fucking four!

"Yes mom." The bastard and I said at the same time resulting in the both of us glaring at each other, only to break it off when we felt mom glaring at us and just went to eating in silence. And let me tell you it was very fucking uncomfortable.

After that…. Fucking uncomfortable breakfast Kakuzu and I went to get dressed in our three bedroom one bath apartment. After getting dressed I was pretty much taking up the bathroom to fix and slick my hair back, and let me tell you it takes longer then you would believe.

"Hurry up in there, some of us need the bathroom as well!" came Kakuzu's voice from the door and I just growled.

"Yeah well fuck off and wait I'm almost done!" I yelled back at him and finally finished and once I did I got out and looked around panicked to make sure mom didn't hear my choice of words… again.

"You're in the clear this time baka." Kakuzu replied as he pushed his way past me and into the bathroom. Yeah we never really got along no matter what, except when mom is prissier then usual one week every month, then we at least cooperate and save ourselves.

"Bastard…" I muttered and made my way to the door not wanting to walk with my annoying older brother.

"I'm out, later mom, dad and princess!" I yelled out and then left not waiting for the replies like always.

I hadn't taken more than seven steps away from the damn apartment when I was plowed over by someone.

"GAH I'M SORRY!" the kid, yeah sounded like a kid, exclaimed. When I looked it was a spiky black haired kid who had equally black eyes, half his face had weird spiral shaped lines on it and the way he dressed made it look like he was in a hurry to get dressed.

"Well you should have been watching where the hell you were going!" I exclaimed getting up and brushing the dirt off me and attempting to fix my hair.

"W-well I would but…"

"But he was being chased and paranoid about being late on our first day." Came a dark voice behind him and my god looking at the boy both gave me a feeling that I knew him, and he creeped me out. He was literally half black and white in skin color, pupil-less yellow gold eyes and lightly spiked green hair.

"Chased by you or something else?" I asked feeling a slight sweat drop form on the back of my head.

"Oh just one or two angry middle aged men." Okay now that was creepy as fuck, only half his face moved when he spoke that time… and the tone was different.

"Wait, wait first day to what?" I asked looking intently at the two.

"The Ninja Academy duh." The black haired kid said this time giving a look that said it should have been obvious… seriously it's not the first day of civilian school also starts today.

"If you're going to the damn Academy you would have gotten to fucking lost going straight this way idiots." I replied glaring at the two.

"… Geez you've got a dirty mouth don't you." The spikey haired kid muttered thinking I couldn't hear him, oh how fucking wrong he was.

"Yeah I got a fucking dirty mouth so what? Do you want to get to the academy or not?!" I asked slightly getting pissed off but when I saw the pretty much sparkles in the onyx eyes of the black haired kid I couldn't help but sweat drop again.

"Yeah! Pleeeeeaaase I really don't want to be late or lost!" he exclaimed and I saw the green haired kid behind him face palm.

"Alright… then. Just follow me I'm heading there anyways, so don't get fucking lost alright!" I exclaimed and started marching off hearing their steps behind me as well as the black haired kid's voice.

"Thanks! My name's Obito, and that's my brother Zetsu! Nice to meet you!" wait, wait, wait a fucking minute.

"Uh I'm Hidan…You guys are related?!"

"Yes and no, it's more like adopted brothers really." The black and white kid said and it was really freaky as hell, only half his face moved in the beginning then stopped but a voice still came from him but in the darker tone. Holy hell if these guys are my classmates I'd hate to see what the others would look like.

~~~~Itachi's POV~~~~

I was stuck waking up my adopted brother for grandma to help her around the house before heading off to the academy for the first time so it was really early to the point the sun was barely out yet.

"Kisame, wake up…" I said trying to shake him awake slightly. Sighing to myself slightly I left the room and to the kitchen. I then grabbed a cup and filled it with ice only to return to my blue adopted brother's room and poured it on him only for him to jump awake with a scream.

"GAH what the hell Itachi?!" he exclaimed and started shivering slightly.

"Breakfast, work then Academy." I replied never being one for talking much.

"Oh right, I'll be out in a minute okay?" he asked looking at me.

"Hn…" was my only reply as I left the room and went back to the kitchen and started getting ready to make breakfast. Grandma always worries when we use the stove but I've always been naturally good and careful with it, unlike Kisame who has the uncanny ability to burn anything but fish and rice while cooking. By the time I got the stove ready and the ingredients in the pan Kisame came in.

"So what's going to be on the menu?" he asked.

"Hn…"

"Tamagoyaki huh? Think we have any fish for me to broil to go with it?" he smirked and I just looked at him and gave him a small nod. "Sweet I'll get to work on it then." Kisame replied while smirking still and went to the fridge to get the fish ready.

It took a while but breakfast was made Kisame offered to take breakfast to grandma since she was bedridden for the week, but I politely refused.

*Two minutes ago*

"Hey Itachi I'll take the food to grandma alright?"

"Hn." I replied while sending a glare to him.

"Sheesh don't need to put it like that." Kisame said while rubbing the back of his head.

"Hn."

"Geez who knew you could be so cruel Itachi!"

*Present*

Yup politely refused.

"Grandma." I called gently opening the door to see her smiling worn face.

"Ah Itachi-kun, good morning."

"Hn…" was what I replied with a smile.

"I swear I need Kisame sometimes to understand that." She laughed. I then brought out the tray and placed the breakfast on it and I saw her worried look.

"We didn't get burnt, nor did we get hurt." I said after a small sigh.

"I know, but I can still worry." She said as she began eating.

"How are you feeling?" I asked avoiding trying to ask it in the usual Hn.

"Better, then yesterday Itachi-kun, I'll be able to get out of the bed at least. Oh and before you two go could you make sure Mimi and Hachi are fed before you go?" Grandma asked referring to the two cats we have.

"Hn." I responded with a nod and began to leave only to look back with a smile. "I'll see you when we get back."

"Be safe now, and tell Kisame not to cook even if it's a requirement." Grandma joked knowing full well about Kisame's… ability.

"Grandma, I so can cook!" came his voice from the door… of course he came to say good bye for now.

"I know dear but if you where to go somewhere without rice or fish you'd be doomed dear." I had to hold back a smile at Kisame's reaction to that.

"Hn." I said then ran off to do a few chores before leaving for the Academy with Kisame. That and I don't want to be there in case Kisame took it the wrong way. Don't get me wrong Kisame's a nice guy but once his temper goes off, better run like hell.

After we finished are chores and I found out Kisame just further got upset about it, which I apologized about.

*Seven minutes earlier*

"I so can cook…" Kisame mumbled while being in the corner practically growing mushrooms.

"Hn."

"Stop rubbing it in Itachi!"

"Hn."

"Wha? They'll have swords at the academy?! LET'S GO!"

*Present*

Greatly apologized. We were on our way to our first day, good news we'll be ten minutes early as we live pretty close to it. While on our way there we saw a tall man with brown hair and green eyes escorting two young children to the academy, one had long blond hair down to the shoulder's and the other was short and had red hair.

"Now remember if being a ninja doesn't work out you two can always work with me as merchants till your older alright?" the brown haired man said to the two kids.

"Dad we know, un." The blond replied with a roll of eyes, reason why I don't say if the blond is a he or she, I really can't tell.

"Besides if Deidara can't handle it I'll never let him live it down." The red headed boy said with a smirk which seemed to cause the blond, boy I'm starting to think, to fume.

"Same goes for you Sasori, un!"

"Oi Itachi something seem familiar about them to you as well?" I heard Kisame whisper and that caught me by surprise. Now that he mentioned it.

"Hn." Was my reply.

"Yeah I thought so as well…" he said then began walking over to them, and caused me to sigh but follow. "Yo!"

"Why is your skin blue?" came the response that seemed to strike my adopted brother and I could practically feel him crying internally.

"Birth condition." I said trying to hold back my smirk.

"… Alright then, you guys joining today as well?" the red head asked, despite looking younger he seemed to be the older of the two… speaking of that I noticed the blond haired one, Deidara was it? Glaring at me for some reason.

"Hn."

"What?" The red head, Sasori I presume, questioned with a quirked brow.

"Huh, un?" Deidara asked looking puzzled.

"He said yes." Kisame said finally getting over his internal depression.

"Well then why didn't he just say it, un?" the blond asked.

"Well Itachi's pretty anti-social and hate's talking too much. But personally I think…" I noticed he seemed to start whispering the last part which ticked me off on not being included so I decided to intervene.

"Hn!"

"Hey I told you not to bring that up again!" My elder brother practically cried only to have the other two kids, their dad left after talking to them a bit, look confused.

"Hn."

"Dude! Do you kiss Grandma with that mouth?!" Kisame cried again which just earned us even more confused stares.

"Do I even want to know, un?" Deidara asked.

"Trust me kid you don't…" Kisame said which seemed to set the blond off.

"Hey I'm six, un!" Deidara cried.

"Yeah well I'm eight and Itachi's seven so that means you're a kid to us." Kisame laughed which seemed to set the blond off more. If the blond was going to be a classmate of mine, I just know I'm going to have a terrible headache till graduation.
