As Yuta celebrated his twins' arrival, a storm brewed elsewhere.
The Land of Water.
"Damn this monster!" A Mist Ninja knelt, clutching his injured arm, watching his comrades fall to a rampaging slug monster. Despair etched his features.
The monster's six tails lashed out, pulverizing Mist Ninjas. Their ninjutsu proved futile.
"Those who can fight, now! Great Waterfall Technique!"
Thirty surviving Mist Ninjas aligned, hands flashing through seals. "Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"
The combined force unleashed a colossal wave.
The monster, unfazed, charged a massive purple chakra ball in its maw, warping the air.
It lunged, the chakra ball colliding with the wave.
"Boom!" The impact sent the Mist Ninjas sprawling.
They scrambled up, eyes fixed on the monster.
The smoke cleared, revealing the monster unscathed. Another chakra ball formed in its mouth.
The leading Mist Ninja's hope dwindled. "Where's Mizukage-sama? We're finished!"
The monster unleashed the chakra ball.
Just as despair settled, a freezing gust erupted. "Ice Release Secret Technique:-" A massive ice wall materialized.
"Boom!" Chakra ball met ice, a miniature mushroom cloud blooming.
When the light subsided, the Third Mizukage stood before them, shadow hat and cloak billowing.
As a Mizunotsuki clan member with Ice Release, he possessed the means to handle tailed beasts.
He ascended, hands weaving seals. "Ice Release: Ice Without Prison!"
A colossal ice orb encased the monster.
"Seal Team! Seal it, quickly! This won't hold long!"
"We're saved!"
"Mizukage-sama is incredible! We were helpless, but he ended it in one move!"
"Of course! The Third-sama is the strongest Mizukage ever! A mere tailed beast is nothing!"
"Exactly! As the 'Three Character Classic' says, 'In the Three Dynasties, the glaciers were driven away. The enemy fled while the battle was at the front.' How apt!"
The Third Mizukage, despite his stoic demeanor, felt a surge of pride.
"Mizukage-sama, the seal is complete. But it'll only last six months. It's chakra is increasingly volatile."
"Six months?" The Mizukage frowned.
"Yes. It's growing stronger, more resistant."
"Understood." He waved a dismissive hand. "Rescue the wounded, return to the village. I have other matters."
He retreated to his office, ignoring the awestruck gazes.
He penned several secret letters.
"Turtle!"
"Swoosh!" A Kirigakure ANBU materialized.
"Deliver these. Discreetly!"
"Yes!"
After the ANBU's departure, the Third Mizukage rubbed his temples. The battle, though swift, had taxed him heavily. The chakra drain left him lightheaded.
…
A few days later, the Third Raikage, examining the Mizukage's secret letter, weighed his own tailed beast and Mito's presence. He relayed to the messenger, "Inform your Mizukage of my agreement!"
Simultaneously, the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki of Iwagakure, the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure, and even Hanzo of Amegakure received the Mizukage's missive, all ultimately consenting to his proposition.
Thus, amidst the "Three Character Classic" learning frenzy, a wave of inconspicuous travelers infiltrated the Land of Whirlpools, vanishing into the shadows.
…
While the ninja world simmered with intrigue, Yuta battled a different kind of chaos.
"Oh! Oh! Don't cry, please!" He cradled his wailing daughter, attempting to soothe her.
"Wah!" The fifth child joined the chorus.
Kiko entered, observing Yuta's frantic state. She swiftly scooped up the fifth child, her touch revealing the problem. "He's soiled!"
She rolled her eyes at Yuta's cluelessness, expertly changing the diaper. She then retrieved the fourth child, discovering a similar issue.
Watching Kiko effortlessly calm the twins, Yuta sighed in relief.
"Perhaps we should hire nannies? This is driving me insane."
Kiko, seeing her exhausted husband, nodded in agreement. "Two should suffice. Caring for so many is overwhelming. The older ones have been uncharacteristically quiet, fearing we've abandoned them. And the twins require constant attention."
She felt a pang of guilt for the older children's anxiety.
The twins' newborn needs had overshadowed Ganta and his siblings, leading them to believe their parents no longer cared.
Following their discussion, Yuta sought Mito's assistance in finding reliable nannies.
Despite the Senju clan's improved circumstances, many widowed women with children struggled financially. This offered them a chance at independence.
Mito presented several candidates, and Yuta selected two honest-looking middle-aged women, thanking Mito for her aid.
With the nannies' arrival, Yuta felt a weight lift. He focused on the older children's education and training.
Seeing their father's renewed attention, they relaxed, their fears assuaged.
On their third birthday, Yuta gathered Ganta and his siblings, initiating their chakra refinement training.
He observed their attentive postures, a flicker of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Chakra is the energy produced by the harmonious fusion of physical and spiritual energies…"
He explained chakras' nature, properties, and classifications, including bloodline limits.
Finally, he addressed them solemnly. "Our Yuta family possesses a unique bloodline limit: Magnet Release. If you awaken it, you must not reveal it to anyone except your mother without my explicit permission. Nor are you to display your bloodline ninjutsu indiscriminately. Understood?"
"Yes! We understand! We promise to keep it secret!" The children, sensing their father's gravity, readily agreed.
