Evening of the 463rd day. Capital of the Land of Fire.
"L-Lady, wait, the lord is busy and asked not to disturb him!" the court eunuch stammered convulsively, trying to keep the persistent woman out.
"Get out of my way, idiot!" the woman declared authoritatively, and tried to shove aside the eunuch blocking her path. However, he was Chunin rank and easily blocked the strike.
"Out of the way! Or you'll be executed!" Miyamoto Hisane hissed, forcing the eunuch to step aside.
Flinging the door open with a crash, she saw exactly what she expected. In one motion, she reached the bed and grabbed the woman by the hair, hurling her aside with all her strength, partially tearing off her scalp.
"Aaaaa!" the woman screamed and clutched her bleeding head.
The elderly man lounging relaxed on the bed didn't even stir, merely eyeing one of his wives with fire in his gaze. The mutilated, pain-screaming woman didn't faze him at all, for in his eyes she was no more than a used toy.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such passion in you," the man said with a slight smile, reaching out his hand toward the dress of the woman who had entered.
"Keep your hands off! I'm not here for that," Hisane hissed, barely containing her rage. She couldn't afford to cross the line with this man, as he was the only one capable of wiping her clan to dust.
"Oh? Then what for? You know that at this hour I amuse myself with toys..." Miyamoto Masahide muttered with indignation. Irritation laced his voice, forcing Hisane to soften.
"My brother was killed! This is provocation from Konoha, and you must take action!" she exclaimed, sitting on his bed.
"What? Little Keitashi killed? And who will supply me with new toys now?" Masahide asked in a displeased tone.
"Can you think of anything besides your whores?! Konoha's provocation doesn't concern you at all?!" Hisane cried out in anger.
"Shut up!" Masahide growled, rising from the bed and delivering a powerful slap she had no intention of blocking.
"All you can do is beat your wives! Beast!" Hisane exclaimed with tears in her eyes, and in revenge, kicked the cowering woman in the corner in the head with all her strength, splattering brains across the wall.
"I'll handle everything, now get out of my sight!" the furious Masahide roared, leisurely tying his robe and leaving the Daimyo's chambers.
After the incident with the uninvited guests, the members of the Nakayama Family continued living and working at their usual pace. By the evening of the 464th day, Hitomi and Aya had given Kenshin wonderful sons, and on the evening of the 465th day, Kasumi and Natsumi gave birth, granting him another level besides the sons.
After reaching level twenty-five, Kenshin unhesitatingly invested his free skill point into the "Shelter Creation" ability, raising it to ninth level. The assortment of available items, as well as knowledge from his past world, became several times richer than at the previous level.
At the moment, he could create a huge amount of raw materials, items, and even high-tech machines. However, the rules were still quite strict and didn't allow Kenshin alone to industrialize even one southwest region of the Land of Fire.
At this level of the "Shelter Creation" ability, he could expand his fortress territory to five kilometers in diameter, furnishing it as he wished and saw fit. Restrictions on construction within his territory were completely lifted, and Kenshin could not only build various buildings and complexes but also alter the landscape, up to creating small mountains and lakes.
In addition, restrictions on the amount of food and various delicacies consumed within the territory were fully lifted, allowing Kenshin to house several tens of thousands of people if he wished.
However, with export resources, Kenshin had to grapple for a very long time. First of all, each product had a daily limit depending on its rarity and value. For example, the quota for cement was 500 tons, finished iron ingots 250 tons. But high-quality iron ore had a record limit of 1000 tons.
Tech items and food had even more parameters of rarity and value, making it hard even for Kenshin's mind to analyze all these components. Limits on the two most valuable export goods weren't as horrific as before: 5 tons for canned goods and 300 kilograms for chocolate.
To Kenshin's great relief, unused daily limits added to the next day's limits with only a 5% loss in the first week. Each subsequent week imposed an additional 10% penalty, and after three months of downtime, limit remnants stopped accumulating, preventing an endless factory for creating everything.
On the morning of the 466th day, Kenshin finally decided to impregnate Keiko again. She had been ready for conception for several days and made various hints, demonstrating her femininity and elegance. Karin couldn't fail to notice her beloved mother's behavior and unconsciously began mimicking her, forcing Kenshin to act immediately.
After breakfast, Keiko was "called to the boss's office" and punished according to all laws of family life, leaving his room only two hours later on wobbly legs, forgetting to put on panties under her skirt.
That same evening, Kenshin received an even more joyful surprise. Twenty Second finally broke through and became the second Jonin of the Nakayama Family. In honor of this joyous event, Kenshin threw a grand feast where Twenty Second was the main star.
Kenshin spent all morning of the 467th day in the training hall, testing his son's newfound strength. The results delighted him greatly, for thanks to his even more improved Byakugan, as well as the deadly Gentle Fist style, Twenty Second was in no way weaker than Fifteenth in close combat.
The changes in the status also didn't leave Kenshin indifferent, and a smile stayed on his face all morning.
Name: Twenty Second
Age: 20 years
Talent Level: 36
Chakra Quality: 7
Chakra Amount: 7100
Chakra Control: 78%
Byakugan Lvl 4
Hitomi, in turn, was overjoyed and incredibly proud of her son, who had surpassed her in everything except Iryōninjutsu. Even Twenty Second's Byakugan was better than his mother's and qualified as "above average" in the main clan branch.
With the Byakugan level increase, not only the range of vision improved but also the quality. For example, upon raising the Byakugan to fourth level, Twenty Second gained the ability to see enemy chakra in the finest detail, as well as all its flows. Based solely on this information, an experienced shinobi could predict the complexity of the enemy's subsequent technique, its direction, and power in advance.
Kenshin didn't pin too much hope on his sons' Sharingan and Byakugan, considering them merely a pleasant bonus to personal strength, but he still held out hope for their development. His analytical abilities were practically useless in this matter. Sharingan and Byakugan were so incomprehensible that Kenshin couldn't grasp them, let alone analyze their development method.
The only thing he could do was transfer raw experience from one son to another without taking on the burden of comprehending and mastering that information himself. Few among the living knew the principle behind these magical eyes, and even fewer of those knowledgeable were willing to share.
