*sigh* Having Children is Hard

Chapter 11 (BONUS CHAPTER)

Title: *sigh* Having Children is Hard

...

I know that I should be proud of Ichigo who is only three and he can do a VERY low version of Soru. He probably saw me do it and learned it from that, very smart and he has really good eyes. The slash also wasn't anything special, but he is only three and his talents with swords is on the top and he is also a very hard worker the only real problem that I have is... the name... 

One Sword Style: Fish Breath...

That is so lame... where did he get his sh*tty naming sense from... oh right...I named my kids after anime characters. I really don't have any room to judge... but c'mon, children are supposed to be better than their parents. Also literally any other name would have been better and the name of the attack has nothing to do with the attack.

But I see that after finishing his special move, Ichigo immediately bends down and grabs his leg while rolling around in the ground with a cringing look on his face. "Ahhhhhh why does it always hurt like this. I always get cramps when I do this move."

I just look at Ichigo and go towards him. I pat his head reassuringly as I check his leg, it doesn't seem to be anything too serious. He just cramped his muscles because he used them beyond their limits for that split second. The muscles followed an order from the brain that they couldn't carry out... but they still did and not they are hurt for it.

In the end, I smile at Ichigo and start explaining to him. "This movement isn't quite easy on your body... thoug-."

*baam*

I am interrupted as I hear a crashing sound. As I just turn around and see Kisame... who has run into a wall. That kid... can't he be normal for one second. I and his mother always had such a hard time raising him, he would hurt any of the nurses that came close to him even while a baby he could crush someone's finger by just rightening his grip.

But I know that Kisame usually only does dumb stuff like this when one of his siblings tells him to do it. I 'look' at my children and with my Observation Haki, immediately noticed the one who told him to do it. It was one of my daughters, the half-human redhead my three-year-old daughter Erza... who is eating some sweets... she is also laughing at Kisame while telling a joke to one of her siblings who has spiky golden hair and isn't really listening to her.

Then another of my kids with silver spiky hair who is sitting on a tree branch says to Erza with a harsh voice. "Erza… stop telling to Kisame to do stuff like that... also don't eat too many sweets or you will get fat."

Immediately Erza goes into rage mode, her hair floats up and her eyes turn red. She turns towards the one who said that to her. It is the spiky silver hired child with a bored look in his eyes.

"What the hell did you say Kakashi!" Yells Erza as fumes of anger come from her head.

I can't help but think... *sigh* these kids sure are stressful to have around.

....

After spending an hour with my kids playing around and even teaching them certain things that they might have an interest in.

After that, I go towards the training grounds inside the castle. I pass the weapons room and when I go inside the room I see one of my other kids like always he is working hard.

He has a real katana in his hands and he is swinging it repeatedly. If I was to name my hardest working child... it would have to be Itachi... unlike his namesake, he is not talented with swords like Ichigo or stupidly strong like Kisame... he is smart but he is also not as smart as Kakashi.

But I know that compared to other kids in the Blue Seas he is a monster amongst them. And him being half Fishman plays a big role in that but also because my kids are all extremely active... Kisame truly motivates everyone to be stronger... he is weird like that...

It isn't like Itachi has no talent it's just that here he can't really shine too much.

Then Itachi notices me and in his usual emotionless face, he greets me. "Hello, father."

Like always to brighten his mood I grab something from my shirt and it is a small box.

I open it and inside it is some mochi.

As soon as he sees that Itachi gains a weird blush and he just extends his hand.

I just smiled and I gave it to him, he sits down and I sit next to him... it looks kind of weird if anyone saw us they would think that they were looking at two brothers, not a parent and child, our age difference is just that.

He is so happy that his eyes shine like they have stars in them. He gets happy at simple things like this, Itachi likes sweets and hates tomatoes. Every one of my children has their own preferences, they are no longer just a plan or weapon that I can use. They are real and they are my children that I will love and protect.

I just smile gently as I see Itachi eating the mochi, he has a calm look and as he eats mochi a happy smile appears on his face. It is amusing to a certain extent.

In the end, I just shake my head at this and ask Itachi in a relaxed and nonchalant voice. "How is your sword training going?"

Itachi's face scrunches up a little when he hears me ask that, then I can already guess how it is going just by his expression.

"Not good... Ichigo has already learned a special move and when we spar he defeats me 99/100 times, and that one time I only defeated him because before we fought... he just got wrecked by Kisame for not letting me win. Even though I am the oldest sibling after Kisame... I am not strong enough to even protect my younger siblings..." Explains Itachi with a little sad look in his eyes.

He is my second son and he wants to be like Kisame who even with his young age is known to fight anyone who even looks weirdly at his siblings. Though Kisame is a show-off and likes the praise that he gets from his siblings, he is a truly kind and good brother.

Itachi feeling bad that he can't compare against someone like Kisame, who is only a toddler (in my eyes) but he can still lift huge boulders.

Then I just pat his head and ruffle Itachi's hair and say to him in an encouraging way. "Well as a father it is my duty to help my sons accomplish their dreams."

Then I pull out the Double Double Fruit... he looks at it with a split second of confusion. But he understands what it is, and then a smile appears on his face.

"This will happy you along the way." I tell him with a smile on my face. This fruit will help him tremendously in the future, and if he can master the fruit... well then...

....

After I give some pointers to Itachi and he eats his devil fruit. I wanted to see what he can do with it but I will have to go and talk with my army immediately. I have plenty of time to instruct him later on.

I climb up the stairs of my castle and go towards the balcony facing the city, and look to the thousands of Fishman soldiers below me...

All of the trash, even the strongest amongst them are about as strong as Arlong. Which is pretty much dog sh*t... but I guess I will have to start somewhere. They are only temporary anyway...

I can't wait for my children to grow up... they will be the ones to offer me the WHOLE WORLD...

But first I will have to give a speech...

AUTHOR NOTE:

Here we see the MC show some manipulative qualities. If you didn't catch it, he was manipulating his children a but. Though he has started to care for them. He also sees them as an asset, Itachi will also be a little more important later down the line, though not too important.
