"Open it!"
[Ding! Opening the Many Children, Many Blessings gift pack...]
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: Pregnancy Card ×1]
A card appeared in his hand, identical to the one he had used before.
A smile appeared at the corner of Gento's lips as he tucked the card into his robes.
This thing was a divine artifact.
The last time he used it on Tsunade, it worked perfectly in one shot.
If he encountered a suitable target in the future, it would come in handy again.
After putting away the card, he walked over and sat beside the bed, holding Mei Terumi's hand.
"Rest peacefully in Hidden Gento Village for a while. I've already had Mangetsu Hozuki keep an eye on Hidden Mist, so nothing will go wrong there."
"And the Uchiha Anbu have also been monitoring Hidden Mist the entire time. If anything happens, they'll notify me immediately."
Mei leaned against his shoulder.
She softly responded with an "Mhm," her voice carrying a trace of laziness.
"I know."
Then Mei added meaningfully:
"It's just that... those Kekkei Genkai clans in the village still aren't entirely behaving themselves."
She paused briefly.
"But with Mangetsu Hozuki there, those people shouldn't be able to stir up much trouble."
Gento lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"Just focus on recovering. Later, I'll personally escort you back and let those restless people see exactly who stands behind the Fifth Mizukage."
Mei let out a soft laugh and said nothing more, merely burying her face against his chest.
...
Time flowed like water, and another month passed in the blink of an eye.
Ever since Gento regained his fertility, he had been "working hard" day after day.
Kurenai, Pakura, Anko...
The women in the palace had almost all become pregnant around the same time.
As a result, Kurenai, Pakura, and Anko all entered their delivery periods nearly simultaneously.
The first to give birth was Pakura.
Early in the morning, a loud infant's cry came from the delivery room.
"It's a boy!"
A medical kunoichi walked out carrying a swaddled infant, smiling brightly.
The moment Gento accepted the child, the system notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully giving birth to an heir! Triggering the "Many Children, Many Blessings" reward!]
[Distributing rewards...]
[Please select one of the following randomly generated system traits as the child's talent bonus.]
Five options appeared before Gento.
Compared to the time with Hanyu and Mitaka, the quality of the traits this time was somewhat lower.
However, one of the traits immediately caught his attention.
⟩ Kekkei Tota: This child is naturally gifted with the talent to fuse multiple chakra attributes. Before the age of twelve, he will inevitably combine three chakra attributes according to his own chakra nature, creating an entirely new Kekkei Tota.
Gento's breathing paused.
It was actually a Kekkei Tota!
As far as he knew, only two Kekkei Tota had ever appeared in the history of the shinobi world.
The Second Tsuchikage Mu and the Third Tsuchikage Onoki's Particle Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu.
And Kaguya Otsutsuki's All-Killing Ash Bones.
Atomic Dismantling Jutsu could disintegrate all matter down to the atomic level, making it terrifyingly destructive.
As for All-Killing Ash Bones, death came with a single touch. Even Six Paths-level experts found it difficult to withstand.
In short, the power of Kekkei Tota was self-evident.
A surge of anticipation rose within him.
He wondered what kind of Kekkei Tota his son would awaken in the future.
As for the other traits...
Although some of them were decent, compared to Kekkei Tota, they were hardly worth mentioning.
"I choose Kekkei Tota!"
[Ding! Trait selected: Kekkei Tota!]
⟩ The child's talent has been locked in. Before the age of twelve, this child will automatically awaken a brand-new Kekkei Tota. Its exact form is currently unknown.
The name Gento chose for him was Asahi.
[Name: Asahi Uchiha]
⟩ Father: Gento Uchiha
⟩ Mother: Pakura
⟩ Bloodline: Uchiha clan (Yin-Attribute Chakra Talent), Pakura (Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai, Fire + Wind)
⟩ Talent Trait: Kekkei Tota]
› This child is naturally gifted with the talent to fuse multiple chakra attributes. Before the age of twelve, according to the chakra attributes he awakens, he will automatically combine three attributes to create an entirely new Kekkei Tota.
Immediately after, the system notification sounded again:
[Ding! An heir has been born! Triggering the Many Children, Many Blessings reward!]
[Reward distributed: Increased Chakra Reserves!]
Gento felt a warm energy surge through his body.
The amount of chakra wasn't small, but compared to his current enormous chakra reserves, it could only be considered icing on the cake.
After sensing it carefully, the increase was roughly around five percent.
Better than nothing.
Only a few days after Pakura gave birth, good news also came from Anko's side.
That afternoon, the cry of a baby rang out from the delivery room.
"Waaah...!"
"Lord Gento, it's a girl!"
Gento nodded upon hearing this.
He had three sons.
Hanyu, Mitaka, and Asahi.
Now, he finally had his first daughter.
He carefully accepted the swaddled infant.
The moment he received the child, the system notification sounded once again.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully giving birth to an heir! Triggering the "Many Children, Many Blessings" reward!]
[Distributing rewards...]
[Please select one of the following randomly generated system traits as the child's talent bonus.]
Five options appeared before Gento.
⟩ Diligent Talent: This child possesses ordinary talent, but has perseverance and diligence far beyond ordinary people. While others rest, she trains. While others sleep, she studies. Hard work can make up for lack of talent, and through steady accumulation over time, she can eventually surpass many naturally gifted individuals.
⟩ Exceptional Hearing: This child is born with hearing far beyond ordinary people. She can hear subtle sounds that others cannot detect; an enemy's heartbeat, distant footsteps, the faint sound of a kunai cutting through the air. In darkness or when vision is obstructed, her hearing will become her third eye. She possesses a natural advantage in blind combat and is well-suited for reconnaissance and guard duties.
⟩ Balanced Talent: This child has balanced abilities in all aspects, without any obvious weaknesses or exceptionally outstanding talents. Although she may never become the strongest ninja, she also won't drag others down. Through steady progress and teamwork, she can still become a dependable force.
⟩ Bottomless Stomach: This child possesses an astonishing appetite and can eat several times more food than ordinary people in a single meal. Her digestive system is also incredibly efficient, allowing her to rapidly extract energy and nutrients from food. This means her chakra recovery speed far surpasses ordinary people, her stamina is more enduring, and her chakra reserves exceed those of normal people.
⟩ Cat Lover: This child is naturally highly compatible with feline animals. Ninja cats, ordinary cats, and even large feline beasts will all instinctively like her and wish to be close to her. With this talent, she can easily gain the help and loyalty of ninja cats. Although it offers limited improvement to personal combat ability, it provides unique advantages in intelligence gathering, reconnaissance, and communications.
Looking at these traits, Gento confirmed one thing.
The generation of talent traits was likely closely tied to the mother's talents and bloodline.
Although Anko was Orochimaru's disciple and possessed the Cursed Seal along with a certain degree of strength, her bloodline was ordinary; she had no special Kekkei Genkai nor any powerful clan background.
As a result, the quality of the system-generated traits was noticeably lower compared to the other children.
Among these traits, Diligent Talent, Exceptional Hearing, and Balanced Talent could only be considered mediocre.
As for Bottomless Stomach, it immediately made Gento picture Anko stuffing herself with dango in his mind, giving him an instant headache.
He raised his head and looked toward Anko.
At that very moment, Anko was half-lying on the bed, already having accepted two skewers of dango from a maid, chewing away in large bites with her cheeks puffed up like a hamster.
Seeing this, Gento's eyes narrowed.
