In broad daylight and with so many people around, Tetsuhiro could not possibly do anything, so do not let your minds wander.
He was only giving Kaguya a massage; after all, the other woman had been sealed away for over a millennium, and her bones would be stiff. (｡•ᴗ-)_
Drip, drop! A light rain began to fall from the sky, and it grew steadily heavier.
Tetsuhiro conjured a wooden umbrella to shield her from the rain.
"..." Princess Kaguya really did land light little fist blows on Tetsuhiro this time, her face turning slightly flush as she cast a coquettish, reproachful glance at him—or to be precise, she always had Byakugan eyes.
Afterward, he supported Princess Kaguya as they strolled through every major street and alleyway and browsed the department stores,
played to their hearts' content at the amusement park, and tasted all sorts of delicious delicacies. They temporarily laid aside their pressures and enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
Even Princess Kaguya's face rarely displayed a trace of a smile.
Until evening, the two of them still felt unsatisfied and wished to continue.
Inside a luxury seaside villa,
Princess Kaguya glanced around and commented, "The palace environment isn't bad, except it's a bit small."
Tetsuhiro smiled awkwardly. "It's just temporary lodging. We'll build a bigger one later."
The servants brewed tea and queued up the vinyl record, and only then did they relax, taking a sip.
"Not bad, top-grade Mao Feng."
"Can you tell me your true purpose now?"
Tetsuhiro said gently, "Of course it's what I said before—to become my woman!"
No matter what, you are also the Progenitor of Chakra in the Shinobi World, and a rare and formidable combat asset on our side. Therefore, I also want you to join the Empire.
We share a common enemy, as well as the unknown world beyond the Portal. I need you! The Shinobi World needs you, too!"
"Hmph," Princess Kaguya wore an I-knew-it expression, her tone returning once again to indifference. "You humans always think of using others. Indeed, men are truly no good!"
"That's right! Men are no good!"
"Bang!" The villa's front door was kicked open from the outside, and a stunning, gorgeous figure abruptly presented herself before them.
"Uh, Mito, why are you here? Who upset you? I'll vent your anger for you!" Tetsuhiro immediately felt that something terrible was about to happen. Disaster had definitely struck.
He hurried forward and asked softly,
"Why am I here? If I didn't come, I'm afraid you two would already be in bed by now, right?"
"Yeah, it's so late. Once we're done with things later, we really should head to bed and get a good rest." Tetsuhiro deliberately feigned ignorance, answering with a blank, silly expression.
"Hashirama Senju! Stop playing the fool with me. The whole world knows about you dating and strolling around the streets with this woman. You ungrateful wretch, you abandoned us orphans and widows to run off and have fun by yourself."
"This... this is for the Shinobi World. You aren't unaware of Princess Kaguya's past-she was originally a pitiful widow, and on top of that, she was sealed away for a millennium by her own children. Wasn't I just taking her out to clear her mind?"
"No other motives? Your attitude changed far too quickly for anyone to be sure."
"How could that be? You work so hard, and it's already too late for me to feel enough heartache for you..."
Standing to one side, Princess Kaguya finally understood what was happening: the primary wife had come knocking on the door to demand an explanation. Originally, she had no wish to meddle.
Suddenly, she thought of how this bad man had previously teased and tormented her, leaving her unable to hold her head up. This time, she could exact payback!
At this thought, a dangerous smile bloomed at the corners of Princess Kaguya's mouth. Ignoring their gazes, she walked straight over to Tetsuhiro and took the initiative to link her arm through his.
With a stiff tone, she said, "Who is this person? Could it be that having me as your concubine isn't enough, and you're seeking out a new romance?"
Good grief! Tetsuhiro widened his eyes and looked over, having no time to care about the extremely soft sensation against his arm, thinking:
Big sis, what kind of act are you putting on now? I only just managed to coax Mito into calming down, so please don't come and stir up trouble.
He tried to pull his right hand out, but the other woman was holding on tightly, making it impossible to break free for a moment.
In Mito's eyes, "Hashirama" was tacitly confirming the relationship between the two of them, and the esteemed God of Shinobi could not possibly be restricted by someone against his will.
"Fine, you aren't even hiding it anymore! The two of you really are having an affair. I must have been blind to have fallen for you in the first place." As she spoke, her hair flew wildly about in all directions as she formally entered berserk mode!
"I'm going to deal with both of you with my own hands!"
"Don't forget, you are the Queen! Our son Shu Mao is the Crown Prince, and he's currently back at the rear guarding the state!"
This caused her to temporarily recover her reason. "What do you mean?"
"No matter what I do, it's impossible for me to forget your dedication and support for me. Appointing you as Queen is cast-iron proof. The Queen manages the inner palace, and our son guards the state-can this still fail to prove my love for you?"
At this moment, Tetsuhiro fished a bottle of perfume out of his trouser pocket and handed it to her. "Look, I brought this for you. Women's perfume. How could I possibly overlook you?"
"Hmph, you still have a shred of conscience. How do you use this thing?"
"Aim this little nozzle at whatever spot you want to spray, and then press down gently."
"Hiss~" Water mist sprayed out from within.
"It smells so good. I like this."
"Hehe, this thing is expensive. It's equivalent to the original monthly income of our Konoha village. But since you like it, His Majesty~ will buy it for you from now on." Only then did Tetsuhiro heave a sigh of relief.
"Just a single bottle of perfume is enough to send you pa-mmph mmph!" Tetsuhiro hurriedly blocked Kaguya's mouth.
Mito, who had been immersed in the novelty, snapped back to reality and asked, "What did she just say?"
"Nothing at all. She's just jealous of you. Seeing that you have such a wonderful item, she wants one too."
"In her dreams. My husband bought this specifically for me. If she wants one, she should call me older sister; maybe if I'm in a good mood, I can spray a tiny bit for her." After Mito finished speaking, she even raised her right hand and gestured.
"Mph, mph mph~" Kaguya wore a disbelieving expression, her eyes widened to their limits.
"It seems she's still a bit unconvinced." Tetsuhiro was still spouting nonsense when he suddenly let out a strange sound: "Hiss~"
"What's wrong with you?"
Tetsuhiro shook his hand and hurriedly said, "It's nothing. I might be a little hungry. Wife, I want to eat the food you cook."
"Right now? It's already evening."
"Aren't I hungry? I just want to eat."
"I really can't do anything with you."
"Four dishes and one soup, okay~?"
"Alright, alright, which side is the kitchen? Let me check what ingredients you have first."
Tetsuhiro urged her impatiently, "Mm, make your own decisions. Whatever you cook, I love to eat."
"Mph? Mph mph mph~" Princess Kaguya used both hands to desperately pry at the palm over her mouth.
"You're jealous again. You could never envy this kind of marital bliss we share."
"You wretch. Watch me show you a couple of tricks, and none of you are allowed to help." Saying this, Mito walked confidently toward the kitchen.
Tetsuhiro breathed another sigh of relief.
"Huh? Right, are you going to eat or not? I can make you some too."
"Don't bother. Just let her watch, serves her right for putting on airs."
"She really deserves to be punished, actually daring to disregard my master of the inner palace. Hmph!"
Having finally managed to send away this ancestor,
Tetsuhiro's expression suddenly changed as he said viciously, "Trying to pay me back, are you? See how I deal with you!"
"What do you want? Stop! This concubine was wrong."
"You know you're wrong now? Too late! His Majesty is extremely angry, and the consequences are very severe!"
Take this tickle attack!
"Don't, this concubine is ticklish."
(Ten thousand words are omitted here...)
A strange banana ornament on top of the cabinet suddenly began to play music.
Blazing Teens--"Fire of Youth"!
Mito was washing vegetables at that moment.
"So this is a faucet? Ah, how do you turn it off?"
The servants bustled about for a good while before they managed to turn off the faucet, but the entire sink had already filled up and spilled over quite a bit.
"So this is detergent. Right, business comes first." After playing around for a little while, Mito threw herself back into her work...
