Dan stood in the large room, looking at his nine sleeping children. The scene was moving in a way he didn't expect: nine children, all carrying his same sky-blue hair color and the same clear blue eyes. It was living evidence of his legacy, of the Walt family he is building in this dangerous world. The sight filled him with mixed feelings of pride, responsibility, and determination to protect them whatever the cost.
His three remaining wives had recently given birth, and with this, the second wave of birth was complete. Miyu was the first of the three to give birth, and she was blessed with a boy—a strong child crying loudly from the first moment. Dan called him Felix Walt, a name carrying the meaning of happiness and luck. Miyu is very proud that she gave him a boy. A week later, his wife Megumi gave birth to a girl—a calm, beautiful child also with blue hair. Dan called her Lisa Walt, a simple and beautiful name. His wife Megumi is very happy even though she hoped for a boy at first, but Dan's love and interest in the child made her forget any disappointment. Finally, his wife Naomi gave birth to another boy—an active child who moves a lot even while sleeping. Dan called him Kai Walt, a short and strong name suitable for an active child.
Now, Dan has become a father to nine children: Sam, Sophia, Amy, Leon, Hoshi, Nina, Felix, Lisa, and Kai. All of them carry his same hair color and eyes, which confirmed his previous guess that all his offspring would inherit this distinctive appearance. This was clear evidence of the strength of his genes and their dominance over the mothers' genes, and that he will continue through generations. Dan hopes they also inherit the actual abilities: the superhuman chakra control and the massive reservoir of his Kekkei Genkai, but that will only appear with their growth and training.
Only Kyoko and Nina remain of his pregnant wives, but their birth date is still very far away; they had other months of pregnancy, so a long time will pass before he is blessed with two other children. As for Kali, she conceived only recently, after Dan taught her how to refine chakra. Dan noticed she possesses excellent talent: diligent, intelligent, and a fast learner. Once she learned chakra refining, she conceived quickly, which unfortunately also made her stop training and harsh physical exercise like her companions, focusing currently on maintaining her health and the health of her fetus.
As for Dan himself, he decided that he will apply the improved version of the Vitality Seal in the next few days. Everything is ready; the seal is complete and carefully studied. Dan is confident in his success rate because of his current strength and his superhuman chakra control. Currently, Dan tries to relax and clear his mind a little to prepare. The improved seal was very complex and will require full focus during its application, because any small mistake might lead to serious problems. So, he wants to be in the best mental and physical state possible before starting.
Dan has accurately calculated that this improved version will further improve his talents and physical strength, and that his chakra reservoir will increase significantly too. But most important of all is its effect on his longevity. According to his calculations, and with time and the continued work of the improved seal, it will increase his current lifespan from one hundred and eighty years to at least three hundred years over time. This is considered a great improvement and a massive leap—one hundred and twenty additional years. A long additional time for training, growth, developing new techniques, and perhaps improving the seal again in the future, which will bring him closer to his distant goal: true immortality, and give him much longer time to achieve everything he wants to achieve in this world.
As for his women and their training, Dan decided to wait a little until their bodies settle well from the effects of childbirth. Pregnancy and birth take a lot from the body, and he wants his women to recover completely before they start the harsh training program he set for them. So, he is currently keen on providing various food materials for them: fresh meat, eggs, wild fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms. He encourages them to cook rich and useful meals for themselves to regain their vitality quickly, and he monitors their health carefully, using his chakra to examine them from time to time, ensuring everything goes as it should.
Although he is still isolated, a man of few words, and selfish in nature basically, the girls' love and attachment to him have increased greatly. They saw how he cared for them during pregnancy and birth; his actions speak more than any words he could say. They knew that despite his apparent coldness, this was Dan's special way of showing interest, and they were very grateful. This love and gratitude appear in the way they deal with him, in their looks at him, and in their keenness to please and serve him.
Dan looked one last time at his sleeping children—at the nine little ones who represent the future of the Walt family for him. Then he turned slowly and left the room quietly so as not to wake them. He headed toward his lab, as there were some final preparations to be made before applying the improved seal. Dan wants to review all details one last time: ensuring every step, every small seal, and every path of chakra flow.
In the lab, Dan sat before his large table and spread all his notes on the improved seal before him—pages and pages of leather scrolls, drawings, and calculations. Everything he had worked on for a long time. Then he began the final review: step by step, seal by seal, ensuring everything is correct, that there is no error, that he overlooked nothing, and that the plan is complete and perfect. Dan was absorbed in this with very precise and very careful focus, for the potential price of any mistake is very large.
When he finished the review, he was completely satisfied; everything looked perfect, the seal was ready, and Dan himself was ready. Nothing remained but choosing the right day for the process, and he decided it would be after two days. He will use the next two days for complete relaxation, meditation, clearing his mind, and preparing his body and mind for the coming great mission.
Dan thought about the future, about what will happen after applying the improved seal, about how he will become much stronger, his age will increase, and he is approaching closer to his final goal: immortality. He felt excitement mixed with caution, for the path is still very long, but he is advancing, step by step, with stability and patience. Everything he achieved since he moved to this world—from a weak, afraid person who couldn't even refine chakra except with difficulty to a strong man with unique techniques. He has come a long way, and there is still a longer way ahead, but he was confident that he would arrive in the end.
