...and so I ended up having three kids, gah troublesome lovers of mine or should I say troublesome husbands of mine?

Yes we got married a few years ago after I dealt with madara and them so the war didn't really stay a war and more like me getting them all ready and taking them down before the war even started... but seriously what am I going to do with the both of you? But to be honest I didn't really mind too much because I got three lovely sons.

Though they are a handful like their fathers. Though one is almost as smart as me, the other two are around the same but not as much but they are certainly smarter then their fathers and most people.

Which amuses me whenever naruto tries to outsmart or outmaneuver them, especially if they are all together.

But they can't outsmart or outmaneuver me whenever it's my turn to go get all three of them. But it is a bit troublesome when one of my husbands is kazekage and the other will be hokage soon.

Ah you know what that reminds me of? Is when the time naruto wrote on the wall that he would marry me when he was hokage and it turns out he married me earlier then that. It makes me amused, I wonder if naruto still remembers that. I guess I'll tell gaara about it later and to my kids as well. This is going to be amusing, I thought. I wonder how naruto will react to that? I thought as I held my youngest kid.

The other two were playing shogi with each other in the room I was sitting in with aki, the two on the ground playing against each other are arata and shin. I watched them continue on against each other for awhile before shin won against arata who pouted at losing to his younger brother by a year.

I smiled, "good game you two. You both did a great job against each other. Arata learn to pay a bit more attention to your opponents. Shin, you also need to pay close attention to whoever you go up against, getting cocky or too confident can lead to you losing." I said kind of criticizing them both so it was equal and not unfair.

Arata perked you happily, "ok dad! I'll do better next time!" Arata said happily, he takes after naruto both in personality and most of what he looks like except a few features are mine.

Like his eyes shape, his chin, and his smile. I hid a chuckle, "I'll do my best to pay attention to arata next time dad." Shin said a bit seriously but still had a happy look to him, he takes after me except his eyes are gaara's, along with his chin shape.

While aki looks exactly like gaara except with a few features being from me and naruto as well. Aki looks at his older siblings with a hint of curiosity shining in his eyes. "I-I'll do my best when I play too!" Aki said looking at his brothers who looked at him with a hint of surprise before smiling at him. "Ah I can't wait to play against you aki!" Arata said excited at facing his other brother.

Shin nodded his head to that, " yes I can't wait to play against you too aki, let's do our best against each other." Shin said seriously. Shin takes a bit after gaara in personality.

I smiled at them, I was watching over them until either gaara or naruto got back, or when they both got back.

Today they both went out to do something and will be back in a little while, until then, I'll be keeping a close eye on them until my husbands get back from whatever they had to do at the same time.

Which is suspicious to me, because usually most of the time they had different things to do at different times.

Today however, they both needed to do something at the same time? Yeah not much I can think about what it is they both needed to do. I know it isn't our anniversary yet, that's not for another month or two yet. I know it's not the kids birthday yet nor is it a holiday.. it also isn't any birthday today besides...ah I get it now...they must have remembered the time when I accidentally told them my birthday, which is today. I'm not going to suspect anything yet but I think it might be that.

But let's leave that alone for now until my husbands get back. But for now I'm content with watching over my kids for the time being before I get restless. I always start getting restless after a while, feeling like I have to do something but I don't know what do I just end up moving around and training.

That's what I always end up doing and my kids love watching me train and try to copy me half the time. Which amuses and worries me because if they do it wrong, they could end up hurting themselves which is why I keep an eye on them when they try to copy me.

So I can correct them how to do it correctly so they don't accidentally hurt themselves. I might as well help since they decided to be ninjas when they grow up.

So I started training them, when naruto and gaara noticed, they decided to train them as well. We all three have different styles and all that that works for us. Do one on one with each off their parents and they learn more. We got shin who is better at my shadow jutsu and gaara's sand.

While arata is better with naruto's clone jutsu, gaara's sand, and a little bit of my shadow jutsu's. Aki is better at my shadow jutsu's, gaara's sand, and naruto's rasengan. They all three still need to learn more but they all have their own strengths to work with and their own weakness to overcome.

But that just means that they will continue to grow stronger and stronger. They will need to because sooner or later, this peace will not last because there is always something happening sooner or later. I don't know if it will be soon or later because in my last present, just about everyone died in the war with madara. So I wouldn't know what happens next. Though for some reason during that first finally fight, madara disappeared for twelve years, took us ten years to completely relax thinking he was gone which nope big mistake ever.

Especially when we all had kids around the same time. That was a nightmare to deal with all together when madara came back even stronger then before.

Ah I should probably not think about it, I thought. As I watched my kids play another round of shogi.

When will naruto and gaara get back? I thought and then paused. My kids noticed and brightened up, they got up and headed to the door. I got up, slowly to the door as well.

Gaara and naruto are back.. with company? Hmm.. I thought, I wonder if they found out my birthday as well? I almost did forget my birthday, but I only usually remember to avoid certain people. I rolled my eyes fondly, I could tell it was the rest of the group of my year and with lee, tenten, and neji, along with some other people.

I felt amused as my kids opened the door and try tackling naruto and gaara.

They both catch the kids who tried tackling them. "What were you two doing today that called both of your attention at once?" I asked them amused.

They both look like startled cats, more so with naruto then gaara since gaara eyes only widened a bit with a hint of surprise. "Well I guess the cats out of the bag now...happy birthday Shika!" Naruto said happily. "Happy birthday shikamaru!" Everyone else said excitedly.

Gaara walks over to me, bringing me up for a kiss and "happy birthday shikamaru." He said after kissing me. I smiled, "aw no fair gaara! I should have thought of doing that." Naruto said groaning at not thinking about kissing me before saying happy birthday. "So it was my birthday that caught both of your attentions. I figured it out earlier." I said and some of them groaned at not getting to surprise me.

I smiled, feeling amused, they should know better then to try to surprise, they got to do it without trying otherwise I'm very likely to figure out what they planned or are planning to do.

"You already knew I would probably figure it out by how the both of you were acting earlier saying the both of you are busy at the same time. You both usually aren't very Busy at the same time and I started thinking after that on what got you both busy at the same time and I remembered it was my birthday. I usually don't remember my birthday but it was one of the only things that would explain what was happening to me." I said still amused and they exchanged glances with each other.

"Yeah but I was hoping you would bother with remembering your birthday, that would have helped us out on surprising you." Naruto said signing a little disappointed at not surprised shikamaru this time but a little hopeful at surprising him next time when it was his birthday or not.

The party then started, I was having fun, I thought.

Watching the kids play together and the adults talking to each other. It was nice, this peaceful time that I was only able to enjoy the first time around for about ten years before it all went to hell again. I know peaceful times don't always stay, that's why I was already preparing again without anyone noticing, because this time, no one who'll die again, especially my kids, I won't allow them to die like my first kid did in my past future present life.

This life is the one that I will keep fighting for, I do miss the times then but I got to look forward to the future, even if it meant some of the kids that was born in that time aren't born in this time.

I got to admit, changing the time so much like this, surprised me, because I didn't know what to expect.

But having more kids and with one looking like my first kid and the other looking like naruto's first kid in the past life I had, had startled me and almost made me cry. I miss them all, I really do but this is the life I'm living in now. I will stick to it til the end and can only hope I will meet them all when I die. But for now I will enjoy this peaceful time, watching them all laugh and talk with each other brought a smile on my face. Yes it will all be worth it when the time came.
