Kimimaro received a task, the most difficult task he had ever received in his life. He stood there, in the middle of the street, watching the people pass by and wave to him with a smile. After all, Kimimaro was practically Jugo's right-hand man, and the dolls and his unique appearance made him extremely recognizable.
In the end, who else has long white hair and red dots on their forehead besides him?
However, Kimimaro wasn't worried about being watched, instead, he was there, seriously considering the latest task he had been given.
The task Jugo-sama gave him was... to have a family.
Basically, find a wife and have children!
Jugo-sama said that his lineage was powerful and that in the future, when he was gone, his children would be Otogakure's strongest shield. Kimimaro was convinced that, if it were up to Jugo-sama, he would have children to help him in the future.
Even so, Kimimaro froze as soon as he received the task, not that he didn't want to complete any task Jugo gave him, the problem? He had no idea how to do it!
The easiest way would have been to find the most powerful woman he could kidnap and take her back to have children, if Jugo hadn't made it extremely clear that he couldn't do that, instead, he needed to find a woman through normal means and have children with her, all of her own free will.
Kimimaro sighed, the task had become even more complicated.
He was thinking, but didn't know where to begin, so after thinking for a long time, he decided it was best to ask for advice.
Not for Jugo-sama, no, he wouldn't bother him with his uselessness.
Instead, he thought about the couples he knew, he thought about asking Tayuya, after all, she had gotten a boyfriend.
Kimimaro was a man of action, so he disappeared from the street with a swift movement. In a short time, he stopped at Tayuya's house. It wasn't large, but it was quite wooded. He didn't hesitate, thinking that since he was on a mission, he could go straight in.
He jumped over the wall with ease and went to what he knew was Tayuya's room, but as soon as he approached, he frowned slightly, hearing a clear groan of feminine pain, the voice was Tayuya's.
Without thinking twice, Kimimaro broke the window and entered the room.
There, Kimimaro froze.
Tayuya froze.
Utakata froze.
Silence lingered for a long moment before a woman's scream was heard hundreds of meters away, startling the neighbors.

Half an hour later, Kimimaro was sitting in front of Tayuya, not far away, Utakata was sitting next to the door, looking out at the yard, not wanting to look at Kimimaro, still embarrassed.
Tayuya was also sitting down, but her expression was like that of a pressure cooker about to explode.
Kimimaro kept his head down, he didn't know what to say. In the end, he came to ask for help, but it seems he arrived at a very bad time.
-What the hell do you want?!- Tayuya finally yelled, almost jumping with rage. She knew Kimimaro wouldn't come all this way just to break her window at an embarrassing moment.
Besides, even if she wanted to beat the bastard up, she knew she couldn't defeat Kimimaro, even if she teamed up with Utakata, so it wasn't worth it. Instead, she just wanted to get rid of that pest as quickly as possible.
Kimimaro's lips trembled slightly, but he still explained Jugo-sama's request.
Tayuya listened, initially furious, but soon she became stunned, she felt she had heard something wrong, and even Utakata looked at Kimimaro in surprise.
-Did Jugo-sama ask you to have children?- Tayuya asked, shocked.
-Yes.- Kimimaro said, his gaze filled with seriousness.
The group fell silent again, all quiet. In the end, Tayuya sighed, she had taken it completely seriously when she found out it was a task from Jugo-sama, albeit a somewhat strange one.
-If you want a wife, you just need to do like that brat Sasuke and place an ad, many women in the village like you.- Tayuya explained, shrugging.
Kimimaro seemed slightly surprised. What was there to like about him? But he didn't think much about it and shook his head in denial. -No, Jugo-sama asked me to create the strongest shield for Otogakure. My children must be as powerful as possible.
Tayuya frowned slightly and nodded, but Utakata was speechless, he couldn't keep up with the reasoning of these two devoted werewolves.
He wondered what would happen if the Mizukage-sama asked him to have children, how would he respond? Utakata was very conflicted for a moment, he seemed thoughtful, ignoring Kimimaro and Tayuya's conversation.
Tayuya, faithfully following the ancient norms of Otogakure, directly instructed Kimimaro to kidnap a strong woman from another village.
Kimimaro pursed his lips slightly. -Jugo-sama forbade it, I need a woman who wants to marry me of her own free will.
Tayuya was speechless again. For a moment, she thought to herself, if that's what Jugo-sama wanted, she could have Kimimaro's children, but thankfully, before she could say that and shock Utakata so much that he would think he was being cheated on right in front of him, she rejected the idea.
Not because she thought of Utakata, although she really liked him, Jugo-sama came first, but Tayuya thought that if Jugo-sama wanted powerful children, the woman should be the strongest!
Stronger than herself!
Unfortunately, whether it was her or Kimimaro, they ran into trouble again, they couldn't kidnap, nor could they force her, and besides, the woman had to be powerful.
What should they do?
-Perhaps... we could use money?- Tayuya asked after hesitating for a moment.
-Money?- Kimimaro asked, confused.
-I heard that Tsunade-hime really likes to gamble, maybe she'll let you have a child with her if you give her money, who knows, you could even bet something she wants with her, with that woman's luck, it's like getting a child for free.- Tayuya shrugged.
Kimimaro frowned, not because he disliked the idea, but because he was thinking of another point. -Isn't she a little old? Could she give birth?
Tayuya didn't know the answer either, and the two fell silent again.
Utakata snapped back to reality and looked at them, bewildered. How had the conversation turned to this? Besides, wasn't it supposed to be about getting married and having children? Why was it now about hiring a surrogate mother?
