Chapter 41 - Hyuga incident Part 1. (2/2)

”Birth Mothers? Ah, you mean women whose job are dedicated to reviving a clan. That tradition is so old. Did not think anyone practiced it anymore.” Lady Yamanaka looked quite surprised. Looking to Kai she thought of something. ”Lord Senju is it safe to say you are a Birth Father?”

Inoochi looked on in trepidation as he waited to hear his answer.

”Yes, I am. My second purpose is to breed. That is correct. My wives are here for me to not lose my humanity. Being breeding stock as you can imagine is quite... boring and very harmful to the body. My body can handle it easily. So I have high.. production. Well the act itself isn't but.” Kai was saying before he felt Kari grip tightly on his hand. ”I will rather be a man than a father and husband. This way I can find women I can grow to love. I havent gotten there yet but I am getting there.” Squeezing tightly against Kari's hand, he leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. ”No matter my personal beliefs, I do have a mission to complete. I had to find people who would be ok with that.”

”Are you ok with that?” Inoichi asked. Kira's hand tightened on Kai's. She was no longer focusing on anything else. Just his words and what his body was saying. She could feel the pulse of his heartbeat she was focusing so much.

”Yes, I am. I wouldn't agree if I didnt. It is also the reason I try to push the decisions back so much. Part of me wants to just do it anyway. Another part, the more sensible part keeps me in check. A few bits of my morality still remains. Besides, I have met some wonderful women along the way. That has made it worthwhile. One can always learn to love another. It's just that simple.” Kai looked at the man and turned his gaze back towards the crowd.

The table became quiet for a while. No one spoke for awhile. The few eavesdroppers decided to focus on there drinks and the conversation they had before they decided to listen in. Most of it was unrecognizable dialogue to them.

”Then I must ask a favor of you.” Inoichi made to stand but his wife held his hand tightly. Kai saw what he was trying to do and stopped him.

”No need for that. Just ask normal.” Kai smiled when he looked at the man. ”Your daughter, her and my own are darn near sisters. Just ask, I will see what I can do to help.”

”Please take my sister in!” Inoichi asked. His voice came out strangled. More pleading than anything.

”I do not mind, but the final decision is up to the wives. I just took a majority of the village of women as Mothers. One like your sister would have to be approved by them I am afraid.” Kai said slightly dejected. From his memory, Inoichi sister seems quite carefree. 'I Didnt think there was anything wrong with her just running the shop.'

”She will be welcomed with open arms. Hopefully, she can help with the garden in the compound. As of late, mostly Kai has been tending to it. The others have more important work to do. Kari said smiling. Looking to Kai she closed his opened mouth. ”We will talk about this later. Just know this, we have found others to help with the clan restoration. Even more, since this will keep any of our children from having to deal with the clan restoration act. Or its counterpart the bloodline acceleration act.”

Kai smiled warily at her words.

”Dear husband we are not foolish enough to let you lead this,” Kari said with a grin. ”Besides we need a break. Since you did the insemination project with them your appetite has increased. If I knew it would have been this way, I would have voted for you to do it the old fashioned way.”

”Hey what's that suppose to mean?” Kai said a little annoyed.

”You are moving to slow. That is all.” Kari said sticking her tongue at him. ”Look at my stomach I barely show. I should have been pregnant right after the wedding.” She teased. ”You are worried about the wrong things still. We are not so fragile.”

”Excuse me for wanting to wait a little more,” Kai said slightly pouting. ”To think more on it.”

”Hehe,” Lady Yamanaka laughed. She tried her best to keep her composure. ”Its good to know you have an exciting home.”

”Thank you, Lord Senju. I am in your debt.” Inoichi said as he raised his head.

”Think nothing of it. We will talk later.” Kai placed his attention back on the ceremony right as the lights started to dim.

”I think it best I tell you now. Especially with what you told me. The Hyuga clan are planning to ask for a marriage alliance. The target is one of your daughters. If they can not secure one of them, they plan on putting pressure on the Hokage to get one of your unborn daughters to marry into the clan.” Inoichi whispered. ”Your sons are a little to dangerous from what they have noticed from the current ones.”

Both Kari and Kai became agitated at this. Kari was more angry than they thought. The idea they could do as they pleased with unborn children. Kai murderously thought on just walking away and letting the Hyuga get killed.

Ku-La had made it over with some news of his own. ”Hey, old man. There is some news from one of my contacts. The Sand village has been attacked by the Cloud village. Apparently they are using the Leaf village as a stopping place to switch troops around. What do you want to do?”

”Tch, have the forces we have, kill them as needed. Framing the Cloud village for the missing tailed beast as well as kidnapping the sand Kages wife will work better for us. Send word to Danzo and his Root members about the plan. If everything works, you will have your brother Shukaku here soon, as well as your sister Chomei by the end of the month.” Kai watched as Kurama digested the plan and left.

Out of his jacket, a little fox popped his head out. It was the little fox Jaws.

”Ahh morning. Or is it an afternoon.” The little fox stretched and climbed up Kai's shoulder. He dr.a.p.ed his tail on top of Kari's head.

”Nice of you to join us,” Kari said petting his tail.

At this time, little Hinata walked up towards the platform. She was doing fine for a little bit, but it changed once she saw the large crowd of people. Before she got to scared. Kai intervened.

”Hinata relax. You are doing just fine. Pretend they are just flowers in a field. Trust me, everything will be fine. If you get nervous look towards your mother. She made it here especially for you, Despite the doctors' orders.” After Kai transmitted that to her, he then relaxed.

Hinata looked to her mother in the crowd completely ignoring the elder who was talking.

'You little brat.' The elder thought. 'No matter, you are just a pawn in our plans anyway.' The elder continued his speech and then sat down as Hinata started a small tea ceremony to honor the ancestors. One of the statues that were present looked like Kaguya. Minus the horns and with shorter hair. Another statue looked badly damaged. Even with Kai's eyes, he could not tell who it could be.

As the small ceremony finished the lights came back on. Several members from smaller clans in the back clapped loudly. Kai gave a small clap along with Kari who only added a faster tempo.

”New information. The Uchiha compound has been broken into. Several injuries no casualties. Our medical team has moved In to help. That's the good news.” Kurama then ripped into piece of meat he had on his plate.

”Give me the bad news.” Kai continued to eat his food.”

”Bad news. Mastica was separated from the group in the Sand village. The transmissions said she was being pursued by a lighting specialized Jonin. Rumors said its Killer Bee. But it wouldn't make sense for the 8 tails holder to be out that far.” Kurama then started eating more wildly.

”Hmm, I trust in there abilities. So everything should be fine.” Kai didnt feel anything weird. So everything should be ok. ”Sigh, we need to find a way to have the Uchiha trust us more.”
