Chapter 126

An hour later, Hitomi entered the break room, sat down on the next chair, and said:

- Nothing serious. I fixed the bones and closed the wound. However, there are still a few places where the bones were crushed into small pieces, so rehabilitation will take at least a month. He is sleeping now, so it is better to wait until the morning. - She reported to Kenshin, who was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

- Hitomi, you are pure gold! What would I do without you? - He said with a smile, and lifted her into the air with telekinesis, and smoothly pulled her onto his lap.

- What would I do without you? - Hitomi whispered with a smile, and leaned down to kiss him on the lips.

Kasumi, who was sitting next to her, just rolled her eyes and said, "Enough of this coddling. We need to come up with a plan of action."

Kenshin spent the next few hours in the company of his loving wives. Aya and Natsumi, who had arrived a little later, took part in the discussion, but even so, Kenshin had learned nothing new. The plan that had formed in his head in a few minutes had only been slightly refined, and its implementation was to begin tomorrow.

*****

For the next few days, Kenshin spent his time building a basic perimeter around the future hideout, accompanied by several of his sons. Although Kasumi had taken on some of the burden of creating the formations, there was still a lot of work to do.

Unfortunately, Natsumi couldn't help, due to her late pregnancy. Any day now, she and Aya were supposed to give birth, and bring Kenshin the desired level twenty. He was really looking forward to it, and in addition to increasing the level of the "Shelter Creation" ability, he hoped to unlock another incredible ability.

For three days, most of the sons were engaged in cutting down the forest in the designated area, as well as uprooting stumps and huge boulders. Kenshin had already designed in his head the approximate outline of the future base, and within a few kilometers, nothing should interfere with the view.

Over the past four months, Kenshin had perfected his exosuit, which could easily withstand several hundred full-force blows from a Chunin, and coupled with psionics, Kenshin was able to fight Ichiro on equal terms in close combat. Unfortunately, he still had no ranged attacks, so a deadly battle with a peak Chunin was out of the question. In contrast, Kenshin had finally mastered levitation, allowing him to fly at 120 kilometers per hour without any problems, which in the long run made him an incredibly dangerous opponent for equal opponents.

- Kenshin, darling, let's fly to that mountain lake, please... - Kasumi purred towards the evening of the third day after the start of the grandiose work.

- Did you enjoy flying? - He asked with a smile, and then with the power of his mind he lifted her from her seat and rose into the air himself.

- Ah! God, I still can't get used to how quickly your ability is developing... When we first met, you could barely lift a chair, but now you can easily carry the two of us to a mountain lake... - Kasumi whispered, hugging his neck and pressing her whole body against him.

Kenshin mentally warned Twenty-Fourth, Twenty-Eighth, and Thirtieth that he was going to the mountain lake, and they rushed in that direction in order to be nearby and help their father in case of danger.

He shot up without any problems, and together with Kasumi, he disappeared behind the clouds, making it difficult to detect them from the ground. And although flying with Kasumi was not as easy as flying alone, he could still reach a speed of 80 km/h, and maintain it for about two hours.

- Ha-ha-ha! Kenshin, look how beautiful it is! - Kasumi squealed, enjoying the views of pristine nature in the rays of the setting sun. She could not get used to this all-encompassing feeling of joy that free flight gave.

"All this is no more beautiful than you…" He said, and "standing" in the air, he hugged her from behind.

- What a flatterer you are, Nakayama Kenshin! - Kasumi said with a cheerful smile, and turning around, she pressed her whole body against him.

- What a beauty you are, Nakayama Kasumi! - He answered with a smile, and rushed with her into one of the clouds.

He really enjoyed spending time with her. After her marriage, Kasumi had awakened a long-suppressed side of a playful little girl, and she fearlessly showed it off to Kenshin, knowing that there was no one to blame her for showing her feelings.

Ten minutes later they landed near a mountain lake, and Kasumi, with a joyful squeal, jumped into the air from a three-meter cliff, and emerged without a bra, inviting Kenshin to her.

*****

A few hours later, Kenshin was sitting in the workshop, listening to Ichiro's report and trying to catch the non-obvious details.

- So you're saying that Zabuza wasn't in the right place, and only half an hour later, using formations, you spotted a skinny figure who quickly took the money and disappeared into the forest? It was probably Haku. Zabuza is very cunning, and most likely he was afraid of an ambush... - Kenshin muttered thoughtfully.

"Father, your bombs were of no use, so you better take them back before your brothers get hurt…" Ichiro said, and took out several metal containers from his bag, similar in size and shape to tin cans.

- You're right. These "babies" can make holes in Jonin's body, so it's better to let them stay with me. - He said with a smile, and took all ten "bombs". In fact, they were homemade explosive devices, built according to the simplest "can with nails" scheme.

The explosive impulse was one of the newest formations developed by Kenshin. The principle was quite simple, all the accumulated world energy was collected in one point and turned into a powerful impulse. Then this impulse tore apart the metal container, and with unimaginable force sent nails in all directions. These nails were not quite classic, but modified by Kenshin to suit his needs. Firstly, he changed their shape and center of gravity in order to give them better aerodynamics and directionality, and secondly, each "nail" was strengthened a hundredfold by the reinforcement formation, and due to its strength, it could easily make through holes in ten-meter boulders if the impulse was enough.

After Ichiro left, Kenshin completely deactivated the bombs, dissipating all energy to avoid an extremely unlikely, but still very dangerous detonation. Then he formed a detailed plan of work for tomorrow in his head, and was about to go to bed, when he heard Natsumi's call.

"Ah, Kenshin, it has begun!" She said mentally, and Kenshin rushed into the "birthing room".
