Looking at the stunned Tenten frozen in place, Mirai Uchiha's lips curled up slightly.
"Something wrong? If you don't want to..."
"I do want to!"
Tenten interrupted excitedly.
Her voice grew hoarse from sheer excitement.
Realizing this afterward and meeting Mirai's teasing gaze, Tenten immediately lowered her head.
A blush spread across her cheeks, coloring even her ears and neck with a delicate pink hue.
Seeing Tenten's appearance, a line of poetry surfaced in Mirai's mind—
That delicate moment when eyes lower in tenderness—like a water lily trembling gently in the breeze.
Before traveling back in time, as a native of Long, Tenten embodied the feminine ideal that Mirai found most appealing.
Since Mirai remained silent, naturally Tenten also felt too shy to speak.
The air between them grew tender with intimacy.
After a long while, Tenten finally couldn't bear it anymore and softly said, "Mirai-sama, why don't you say something?"
Hearing that, Mirai smiled. "Tenten, it's already getting late. Shall we go have dinner together?"
Tenten nodded. "Okay."
What followed happened naturally.
First, they had dinner together, then drank some sake.
Late at night, Mirai carried the tipsy Tenten back to his room.
———
The next day.
Mirai looked at the sleeping Tenten and couldn't help but stretch lazily with satisfaction.
Tenten appeared quite petite, yet her figure exceeded his expectations.
The experience could only be summed up as perfect.
As Mirai quietly admired her, Tenten gradually woke up from sleep.
Seeing Mirai staring at her, she immediately buried her head into the quilt.
"Mirai-sama, is it very late now?"
Mirai slowly replied, "Not really. It's just the right time to get up."
"Oh."
After waiting a moment, finding Mirai still watching her, Tenten felt flustered and said, "Mirai-sama, I... I need to get dressed..."
Understanding suddenly dawned on Mirai's face, and he chuckled. "Then I'll turn around for a bit."
Saying so, he turned his body away.
Hearing the rustling sounds from behind, Mirai felt heat rise within him again.
After a short wait, Tenten's voice came from behind, "Mirai-sama, is there anything I can do for you?"
Mirai smiled. "I'll introduce you to your sisters-in-arms."
"Ah!" Tenten nervously swallowed, "Do we have to meet them right now?"
"There's nothing to worry about. It's not like we haven't seen it before."
After hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Tenten couldn't help but wryly comment inwardly.
The past is the past, and now is now. How could they be the same?
Following behind Mirai Uchiha, Tenten arrived at the main hall where everyone usually dined.
Tsunade, Kurenai Yuhi, Hinata, Ino, and others were all chatting casually inside the hall.
Seeing Mirai Uchiha leading Tenten in, the women hesitated slightly before quickly understanding.
Tsunade stepped forward, smoothly taking Tenten's hand and starting to chat about everyday topics.
The other women also smiled and gathered around Tenten, joining Tsunade in conversation.
Originally feeling a bit nervous, Tenten soon relaxed and blended right in with them.
Witnessing this scene, Mirai Uchiha couldn't help but open his mouth slightly.
The women back home really have got this down to a science.
After lunch, with the help of Hinata and Ino, Tenten moved into her own private courtyard.
Lying on the bed and gazing at the exquisite furniture around the room, a faint smile of happiness naturally formed on Tenten's face.
From yesterday afternoon until now, she felt as if she were dreaming.
Becoming the woman of the Emperor—how many women had dreamed of that very thing?
She had to treasure this moment with all her heart!
—
Three days later.
Under Mirai Uchiha's leadership, Tenten returned once again to the Ninja Tools Store.
Looking at the completely renovated shop, Tenten couldn't help but open her mouth wide in shock.
The originally somewhat rundown store had now become dazzlingly luxurious.
Even just from the outside, it gave off an air of unapproachable grandeur.
Several shops previously adjacent to the Ninja Tools Store had been entirely demolished and incorporated into its new expansion.
Standing at the entrance of the shop were dozens of beautiful hostesses, each with fair skin and elegant looks, dressed in expensive attire.
This… this… was just too incredible!
"From now on, you're the owner of this shop," Mirai Uchiha said calmly.
Tenten replied excitedly, "Husband, this… this place is just too extravagant! How much did it cost? How long would I have to work to earn so much money!"
Mirai Uchiha couldn't help but chuckle softly, reaching out and pinching Tenten's slightly chubby cheeks.
"You're just too cute," he said affectionately.
"From now on, you just do what you love. Money's not going to be an issue anymore. Got it?"
Upon hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Tenten suddenly realized how foolish she had been.
After all, Mirai was the Emperor of the ninja world—the whole ninja world technically belonged to him.
Money held absolutely no meaning for him.
Thinking about it, Tenten couldn't help but playfully stick out her tongue.
Looks like she really needed to adjust her mindset from now on. Otherwise, making a fool of herself was one thing—but damaging Mirai's reputation would be a serious issue.
Seeing Tenten actively grab onto his arm, Mirai Uchiha couldn't help but let a faint smile appear on his face.
After all, men just need to have real strength.
Walking into the ninja tools store, they were greeted by shelves filled with various scientific ninja tools, dazzling their eyes with countless options.
In the very center of the store stood three unique ninja tools.
"Husband, what are these?" Tenten asked, pointing at the items in the middle of the hall.
"These are the Bashosen, the Kokinjo, and the Benihisago," Mirai explained calmly.
"These three tools were originally left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, each possessing its own unique power."
"Although nowadays these tools are no longer considered treasures, they still carry special sentimental value. It makes sense to display them here."
Looking at Mirai's composed expression, Tenten's heart began pounding violently once again.
At this moment, she once again felt the unique charm radiating from Mirai.
No wonder so many women in the ninja world long to be Uchiha Mirai's wife.
This intoxicating sensation of being showered with wealth and divine treasures was just too incredible!
Thinking about it, Tenten suddenly flung herself into Mirai's arms.
"Husband, you're just too good to me."
Mirai reached out and gently pinched Tenten's chin, whispering with interest, "Then how do you plan to repay me?"
Tenten bit playfully onto Mirai's finger, her eyes growing slightly seductive.
Words were unnecessary—everything was understood.
