He walked up to Anko and snatched the dango from her hand.
Anko froze.
She looked at her empty hand, then at the dango in Gento's hand, her large eyes instantly filling with tears.
She looked at Gento pitifully, looking exactly like a cat that had its dried fish stolen.
"Waaah... my dango..."
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Gento's heart softened, and he let out a helpless sigh.
He handed the dango back to her, but still could not help but warn her:
"Eat less of this in the future!"
Anko took the dango and immediately grinned through her tears, taking a large bite and saying indistinctly:
"I know, I know. I'll stop after this skewer..."
Gento shook his head at her behavior, though a doting smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He looked down at the little one in his arms, then at the several Talent Traits in front of him.
In the end, his gaze landed on [Cat Lover].
Although this talent had limited combat value, its practicality was its strong suit.
The Ninneko clan were excellent information gatherers in the shinobi world, possessing an information network spread across various countries.
If his daughter could gain the loyalty of the Ninnekos, she would be able to play a massive role in the future, whether as an intelligence operative or a liaison officer.
Besides, it was better for a girl to like cats than to just like eating.
Furthermore, the Uchiha clan had always maintained a very good relationship with the Ninnekos.
Back then, Madara Uchiha's Ninneko was his capable assistant.
Itachi also had a Ninneko partner.
This talent could be considered a continuation of the family tradition.
"I choose [Cat Lover]."
[Ding! Trait selected: Cat Lover!]
Gento looked down at the little one in his arms and immediately made his decision.
"Let's name our daughter Mika."
Anko blinked in surprise, then laughed:
"Mika? What a cute name! Just like a little kitten~"
With the name decided, the system panel automatically materialized:
[Name: Mika Uchiha]
⟩ Father: Gento Uchiha
⟩ Mother: Anko Mitarashi
⟩ Bloodline: Uchiha (Yin-Attribute Chakra talent)
⟩ Talent Trait: Cat Lover
› This child is born with a strong affinity for felines. Ninnekos, ordinary cats, and even large feline beasts will feel fond of her and be willing to draw close to her. With this talent, she can easily obtain the assistance and loyalty of Ninnekos, and can even summon a clowder of cats to assist in battle at critical moments. Although it has a limited impact on individual combat strength, she possesses a natural advantage in information gathering, reconnaissance, liaison, and infiltration.
The system notification sounded once more:
[Ding! Offspring born! Triggering Many Children, Many Blessings reward!]
[Reward: A-rank Ninjutsu Creation Card ×1]
...
A few days after Anko gave birth, Kurenai was about to deliver her child as well.
Kurenai was one of the first women to follow Gento.
Back then, Gento was merely the head of the Uchiha clan, ostracized by the Hidden Leaf High Council, and the Uchiha clan was also met with cold eyes from the villagers.
Yet Kurenai had no reservations and followed him resolutely.
Today, Gento's strength had grown increasingly formidable, his status was noble, and there were more and more women by his side.
Kushina, Pakura, Anko, Konan, Yugito, Mei, Tsunade, Mabui...
Though Kurenai did not say it out loud, she undoubtedly had some thoughts in her heart.
Gento was well aware of this.
That said, he also knew that Kurenai was not the kind of woman who would be jealous or make a scene.
Her nature was reserved and gentle; she kept any grievances hidden in her heart, preferring to quietly process them on her own rather than make things difficult for him.
Precisely because of this, Gento could only treat Kurenai even better, offering her more companionship.
Since Kurenai became pregnant, he had turned down many unnecessary matters to devote more time to her.
Accompanying her on walks, eating meals with her, watching her gradually swelling belly together with her...
Kurenai did not possess an exceptionally powerful bloodline or Kekkei Genkai.
In terms of talent, Kurenai was at the bottom among Gento's many women.
She could not compare to Kushina's Uzumaki bloodline, Tsunade's Senju constitution, Mei's Scorch Release, or even Yugito's status as a Jinchuriki.
Based on his past experiences, Gento no longer held high hopes of drawing an exceptionally powerful Talent Trait for the child Kurenai would give birth to.
Even so, he did not neglect Kurenai in the slightest, showing her even more meticulous care.
"You do not need to stay with me."
Kurenai lay on the bed with her large belly protruding, yet she still could not hide her gentle beauty.
She looked at Gento, who was sitting by the bedside peeling an apple, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"You are so busy, and you still have to handle government affairs..."
"Government affairs can be handled anytime."
Gento cut the peeled apple into small pieces, skewered a piece with a fork, and brought it to her lips.
"Your childbirth is the most important matter, so I must stay by your side."
...
Kurenai's delivery also went very smoothly.
When Gento took his son from the medical ninja's hands, the system's voice sounded as usual:
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host on successfully siring an offspring! Triggering "Many Children, Many Blessings" reward!]
[Issuing reward...]
Please select one of the following randomly generated traits as the offspring's talent bonus
⟩ Hyperactive: This child is energetic, always full of passion and vitality, as if possessing endless energy. His enthusiasm is infectious, capable of rallying those around him. However, he is prone to acting impulsively, easily getting hot-headed in battle and lacking calm judgment.
⟩ Fortune's Child: This child has good luck, always escaping death's door, meeting benefactors in desperate situations, and obtaining opportunistic guidance when lost. His experiences are destined to be dramatic, with every crisis potentially turning into a turning point. However, this talent is passive and not under his own control.
› Note: This talent does not guarantee immortality, but only guarantees escaping danger "within reasonable limits."
⟩ Pure Heart: This child has no darkness or hatred in his heart, being pure and unaffected by negative emotions. He has a natural resistance to spiritual attacks such as genjutsu, as those powers often exploit the dark side of human nature. At the same time, his sincerity and kindness easily earn the trust of others. However, in the cruel shinobi world, excessive kindness may become a weakness.
⟩ Single-Minded: This child has a pathological obsession with a certain goal. Once he sets his direction, he will not stop until he achieves his objective. His willpower is strong, allowing him to endure suffering and hardships unimaginable to ordinary people, pushing further and further along the path of pursuing his goal. However, this obsession may backfire; if the goal is wrong, he will be consumed by it.
⟩ Genjutsu Genius: This child is born with a powerful talent for genjutsu. His spiritual energy far surpasses his peers, allowing him to easily master various genjutsu and unleash them with power beyond the norm. In combination with the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, he will display astonishing talent in the field of genjutsu.
Gento's gaze swept across the five traits.
To his surprise, there were actually a few decent ones among the five traits.
Just as Gento was hesitating on how to choose, the system's notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding! Deep affection between the child's mother and the Host detected. The accumulated Dual Cultivation count is as high as 978 times, triggering an extra reward!]
⟩ Note: Extra rewards obtained in this manner can only be triggered once!
[Extra optional trait added: Reincarnator]
Gento's mind shook as if an earthquake struck him!
To think that a high number of Dual Cultivation sessions could also trigger an extra reward?
Furthermore, this newly rewarded trait was clearly of a much higher tier!
He clicked on the trait, and the detailed description materialized before his eyes:
[Reincarnator: ???]
There was actually no description!
Gento's curiosity was utterly piqued.
"Reincarnator..."
Gento murmured.
"Interesting, truly interesting."
Just what was a Reincarnator?
Did it mean having a chance to revive?
Or did it mean possessing memories of the Blue Star, just like himself?
Could it be... he also knew the plot of Naruto?
After a moment's thought, Gento ultimately gritted his teeth and made his choice.
This extra reward trait was undoubtedly much more precious than the others.
He immediately said to the system:
"I choose: [Reincarnator]!"
[Ding! Trait selected: Reincarnator!]
