Chapter 85: Being a Good Father Isn't That Easy!
Oborotsuki's idea was actually quite simple.
Since the system rewards required having concubines or children,
Could he use Orochimaru's black technology to mass-produce his own offspring?
If possible, he'd be set for life.
After all, every day he "sent out" billions of potential offspring…
If all of them could be technically cultivated and allowed to grow successfully,
Wouldn't he be drowning in rewards?
Orochimaru seemed to have misunderstood Oborotsuki's intention. At this moment, his pair of golden-yellow snake pupils gleamed with excitement and uncertainty.
"You just need to answer whether it's possible or not. Don't ask so many questions."
"That's not something you need to know."
Oborotsuki frowned impatiently.
"Heh heh…"
Orochimaru gave another wicked laugh. Looking at Oborotsuki, his gaze carried not only the usual wariness but also a hint of admiration.
This young man's thinking was truly remarkable—and very dangerous.
Orochimaru loved people with dangerous ideas.
However, Orochimaru gave Oborotsuki the disappointing answer:
"I can't do it."
He was very direct.
While answering Oborotsuki's question, he also briefly explained the technical principles.
Hearing this answer, Oborotsuki wasn't surprised at all.
He had only come up with the idea on a whim while in the ANBU prison earlier.
He never truly expected Orochimaru to be capable of such a thing.
"Fine then, forget I asked."
"Here's what you wanted."
Oborotsuki handed Orochimaru a small vial of blood drawn from Yekura.
Without saying anything more, he turned and left the laboratory.
…
Back at home, Oborotsuki spent some time interacting with Kushina, Mayumi, and the others.
He played with little Naruto and little Karin for a while.
Then he slipped into Konan's room for some intimate time, and immediately after, went to Yūhi Kurenai's room to spend the last few hours before dawn.
"Let's skip it tonight…"
Looking at Oborotsuki lying on the bed with hands behind his head and legs crossed, waiting for her to "serve" him, Yūhi Kurenai hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
"Afraid the others will hear?"
Oborotsuki turned his head and grinned wickedly: "Just don't make any noise."
"That's not it!"
Kurenai's pretty face flushed red. She pouted:
"I'm not talking about that! What are you always thinking about?!"
"You're only thinking about Mei's work, work, work… You're almost forgetting your own wives at home!"
Hearing the complaint in her tone, Oborotsuki realized the issue might be serious. He quickly jumped up and went over to comfort her.
At the same time, he subconsciously glanced at Kurenai's belly.
As time passed day by day, Kurenai's belly had unknowingly grown noticeably larger.
"Don't get upset. Why are you angry?"
"Sit down first. I'll pour you a cup of hot tea. Don't frown—you'll get wrinkles."
Oborotsuki smiled playfully as he helped Kurenai sit down and turned to pour water.
"Look—the baby is growing bigger every day. The belly is getting so noticeable."
"And you know your own size. Aren't you afraid at all of hurting me or the baby?"
"You don't seem to care about me or this family at all."
"You're always thinking about running to the Mizukage's office…"
Kurenai muttered resentfully.
Hearing her words, Oborotsuki's hand paused slightly. Then he smiled helplessly and scratched his head.
He walked over with a cup of hot water, looking a little embarrassed.
"I'm a shinobi of Kirigakure now. Since we're living in the village, I have to do something for it."
"I come back to see you every day, don't I? How could I not care about you and the baby…"
While comforting Kurenai and telling her not to overthink,
Oborotsuki's mind drifted to other matters.
He had overlooked this point before.
Konan's belly was also getting bigger, and so was Red's.
This meant they were about to become mothers. Their mindset would naturally differ from the carefree days of girlhood—it was human nature, etched into their genes.
Now Oborotsuki was out all day, while they stayed home with nothing to do. It was inevitable they would overthink.
Worrying about this one moment, doubting that the next.
Not only was this bad for their own bodies, it could easily lead to mental exhaustion.
It might even affect the babies in their wombs.
Thinking of this, Oborotsuki sighed.
"It seems I need to find a way to give them something to do—something to distract them from all these messy thoughts…"
With that thought, Oborotsuki gently reached out and stroked Kurenai's hair.
"Starting tomorrow, I'll arrange some light work for all of you. What do you think?"
"Just sitting in the office handling simple documents—nothing strenuous."
As the number-two figure in Kirigakure, Oborotsuki had full authority to do this.
Hearing him say this, Kurenai immediately pouted:
"Are you annoyed with me?"
"Of course not. I'm just concerned about you."
"Think about it—ever since we moved into the village, everyone's daily life is taken care of. You spend almost all day at home."
"That's not good for the body. You should go out, be active, participate in social life."
"Going out more is good for your health and the baby's too."
Oborotsuki patiently comforted Kurenai.
In his heart, however, he felt a deep sigh.
For the first time, he realized that being a good father wasn't so easy.
If not for his abundant energy, wealth, and free time,
Balancing the feelings of so many wives and concubines while also considering the care and education of his children—
For an ordinary person, it would be utterly exhausting…
Fortunately, after hearing his explanation, Kurenai thought seriously for a moment, then finally nodded and smiled:
"What you said… actually makes sense."
"In that case, you arrange it."
"It would be best if you could put me, Konan, Kushina, and Mayumi in the same office."
"That way we won't get too bored…"
After all, they were still young women.
Kurenai was quickly attracted by the idea of upcoming office life.
Finally, she stopped overthinking.
Oborotsuki breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and immediately nodded solemnly:
"Don't worry—I'll definitely arrange it perfectly!"
"So now…"
He gave a mischievous chuckle and lowered his head toward Kurenai's noticeably swollen belly.
"No! We already talked about this earlier!"
Kurenai immediately crossed her arms.
"But I'm really suffering…"
Oborotsuki lowered his head, motioning for Kurenai to look herself.
All the blood in his body had rushed to one place, swollen red and throbbing—clearly uncomfortable.
Kurenai rolled her eyes, gave Oborotsuki a charming, exasperated glance, and without a word, gently reached out and grasped his burning, massive length.
