On the 131st day, Kenshin sent Ichiro, Third, and Fourth shopping, instructing them to be cautious and avoid trouble. He decided not to distract Fifth and Sixth from training; they had just started concentrating chakra in their feet and sticking to walls for half a second. Their combat power left much to be desired.
He summoned grown Seventh and Eighth for a full day of field work, harvesting potatoes and onions. The planted field was quite large, and they finished only by evening, gathering a solid 400 kg of potatoes and 80 kg of onions.
In total, his storage held over 1500 kg of potatoes and more than 300 kg of onions. But to Kenshin, it wasn't much. He planned to fill several storages with at least two tons of potatoes and 500 kg of onions. With formations, it could last about two years, and with the growing number of mouths, strategic food reserves were essential.
By evening, his older sons returned without incident, bringing a cart piled high with rice and barley groats. In this world, these were called differently, but Kenshin gave them familiar names his sons used.
Kenshin didn't want to bother planting rice, so he just bought it. Along the way, Ichiro brought a whole sack of cabbage seeds, which Kenshin planned to grow himself. With constant family growth, Kenshin seriously considered food issues and knew feeding even thirty people required massive amounts of food.
He feared snares' rabbits and boars wouldn't suffice for the family's growing needs and pondered solutions. He knew of advanced livestock formations: one accelerated time in a "pen" to speed animal maturation, the other applied directly to fur to accelerate growth without time acceleration, similar to the system's fetal development boost—but Kenshin was convinced no formations could alter time flow for soul-bearing, willed beings.
On the 134th day, Seventh and Eighth finally matured and, per the established routine, went to the gym for training. That same day, Fifth and Sixth fully mastered foot chakra concentration and could walk walls without issue. Running still eluded them, let alone combat, but a start was made; they just needed to hone their skills.
Kenshin was initially surprised how quickly his sons honed shinobi skills, but Natsumi explained it was normal for shinobi to become Jonin by twenty and not Elite Jonin even by fifty. Shinobi potential usually unfolded in a few years, then progress slowed hundreds-fold.
On the 136th day, two events occurred. Another Blue sage batch ripened, and Natsumi with Aya finally gave birth. Fortunately, the sage ripened in the morning, and the girls gave birth only in the evening, so Kenshin harvested and replanted, then helped deliver his two wives' babies.
The two little bundles he named per birth order tradition. Ninth, Natsumi's child, had a record 22 talent points; Tenth, Aya's, had 19, slightly trailing his brother.
All Kenshin's older sons came for the birth of their little brothers, each holding the tiny bundles, marveling at their fragility, unable to believe they themselves had once been so small and fragile.
For the birth of his two children, Kenshin received the long-awaited level up, and immediately allocated the skill point he earned into "Talented Offspring." Then he carefully examined his status.

"What do these question marks mean? Maybe I need to achieve something to unlock another ability?" Kenshin pondered, staring at his status. He was pleased that his next children would already be 30% more talented than their mothers, and he hoped that one of them would awaken a Kekkei Genkai.
Because Natsumi and Aya had just given birth and couldn't handle household chores, Kenshin had to cook dinner. He decided not to get fancy and made a simple but hearty dish. After a few hours, he finally managed it. Two oven-roasted hares came out a bit tough and slightly burnt at the edges, but his hungry sons devoured them with relish, washing them down with stewed potatoes.
Kenshin personally brought food to the girls in the bedroom and helped them eat. Natsumi and Aya were touched to their very souls, and both took turns pulling Kenshin in for a deep kiss, lamenting that they couldn't reward him another way due to their recent births.
On the 140th day, Kenshin impregnated his two wives again, doing it in the swimming pool. The two girls were aching with lust, since according to the "schedule," he was supposed to fuck them two days ago, but instead he'd been busy with his formations and training.
After lunch, Aya and Natsumi put the children to sleep, then found Kenshin and convinced him to relax a bit in the warm pool. He headed to the pool without a second thought, but then the weirdness started.
The two girls kept striking incredibly arousing poses. Aya was in a light-blue bikini on thin strings, and Natsumi in light-green. First they sat on the pool edge with their legs dangling in the water, right in front of Kenshin's eyes, showing off their pussies through the thin bikini fabric.
Then, after swimming a few laps and flashing their firm asses as they dove in, the girls returned to their spots. Aya suddenly slipped into the water, swam up to Kenshin who was standing waist-deep, and whined pitifully:
"Uwwoof, Kenshin, darling, I think this bikini rubbed my nipples raw—could you take a look?" she chirped, untying the thin bikini strings and letting it fall into the water. At the same time, she pressed close enough to wrap her long, graceful legs around his waist, gazing into his brown eyes with her beautiful sky-blue ones.
