On the 131st day, Kenshin sent Ichiro and Third with Fourth shopping, giving them instructions to be careful and not get into trouble. He decided not to distract Fifth and Sixth from training, as they had only just managed to concentrate chakra on their feet and stay on walls for half a second. Their combat power left much to be desired.
He called the grown Seventh and Eighth for a whole day to field work, collecting potato and onion harvest. The sown field was quite large, and they managed only by evening, collecting a good 400 kilograms of potatoes and 80 kilograms of onions.
In total, his storage had more than 1500 kilograms of potatoes and more than 300 kilograms of onions. But for Kenshin this did not seem like much. He planned to fill several storages with at least two tons of potatoes and 500 kilograms of onions; fortunately, with formations, all this could be stored for about two years, and with the increasing number of mouths, strategic food reserves were simply necessary.
By evening, his older sons returned without incidents, bringing a cart loaded to the top with rice and pearl barley. In this world, these grains were called differently, but Kenshin gave them familiar names, which his sons also used.
He did not want to bother with planting rice, so he simply decided to buy it. At the same time, Ichiro brought him a whole bag of cabbage seeds, which Kenshin planned to grow himself. With the constant replenishment in the family, he seriously thought about food problems and knew that feeding even thirty people required a huge amount of food.
He feared that hares and boars caught in snares would become insufficient for the growing needs of the family and pondered a solution to this problem. He knew about the existence of more complex animal husbandry formations, one of which accelerated time in the "barn", thereby accelerating animal growth, and the second was applied directly to the animal's skin and accelerated its growth without accelerating time, on a principle somewhat similar to accelerating fetal development from the "system", but Kenshin was convinced that there were no formations that could change the flow of time for a being with a soul and will.

On the 134th day, Seventh and Eighth finally matured and, according to the already worked-out scheme, were sent to the gym for training. On the same day, Fifth and Sixth fully learned to concentrate chakra on their feet and could easily walk on walls. Running was not yet working, not to mention battles, but a beginning had been made, and they only had to hone their mastery.
Kenshin was first surprised why his sons honed shinobi skills so quickly, but Natsumi explained that for shinobi there is nothing surprising in becoming a Jonin at twenty and not becoming an Elite Jonin even at fifty. The potential of shinobi, as a rule, was revealed in a few years, and further progress slowed down hundreds of times.

On the 136th day, two events happened. Another batch of blue sage 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 managed to collect the harvest and plant new ones, as well as take delivery from two of his wives.
He traditionally named the two small lumps according to their birth number. Ninth, the child from Natsumi, had a record talent level of 22 units, and Tenth, the child from Aya, had a talent level of 19 units, slightly inferior to his brother.
All older sons of Kenshin came to the birth of two little brothers, and each managed to hold the two small lumps in their arms, touched by their fragility, unable to believe that some time ago they themselves were so small and fragile.
For the birth of two children, Kenshin received the long-awaited level and immediately distributed the received skill point into the "Talented Offspring" skill, then carefully examined his status.

"What do these question marks mean? Perhaps I need to achieve something to unlock another ability?" Kenshin thought, looking at his status. He was pleased that the next children would already be 30% more talented than their mothers and hoped that someone would awaken a Kekkei Genkai.
Because Natsumi and Aya had just given birth and could not do household chores, Kenshin had to cook dinner. He decided not to overcomplicate and make a simple but hearty dish, and after a few hours he managed. Two rabbits baked in the oven turned out a bit tough and burnt on the edges, but the hungry sons ate everything with pleasure, washing it down with stewed potatoes.
Kenshin personally brought food to the girls in the bedroom and helped them eat. Natsumi and Aya were touched to the depths of their souls, and both in turn pulled Kenshin for a deep kiss, lamenting that they could not reward him otherwise due to recent births.

On the 140th day, Kenshin impregnated his two wives again, doing it in the pool. The two girls were aching with lust, because according to "plans" he was supposed to take them two days ago, but instead was busy with his formations and training.
After lunch, Aya and Natsumi put the children to sleep, found Kenshin themselves, and persuaded him to relax a bit in the warm pool. He went to the pool without ulterior motives, but then oddities began.
The two girls kept taking incredibly arousing poses. Aya was in a light blue bikini with thin strings, and Natsumi in light green. First they sat on the edge of the pool, dipping their legs in the water, sitting right in front of Kenshin's eyes, showing him their pussies through the thin fabric of the bikini.
Then, after swimming several laps around the pool, showing him their firm asses while diving into the water, the girls returned to their places, and Aya suddenly slipped into the water, swam up to Kenshin standing waist-deep in water, and whined plaintively:
"Uuuuf, Kenshin, dear, it seems in this bikini I chafed my nipples, could you take a look?" she chirped, untying the thin bikini strings and letting it fall into the water. At the same time, she got close enough to Kenshin and wrapped his waist with her long graceful legs, looking into his brown eyes with her beautiful sky-blue eyes.
