Since Samui didn't want the power gap between her and Yugito to widen to the point that they could no longer be friends, she decided not to hesitate any longer. She didn't want to miss this opportunity to enhance her strength and achieve power surpassing the Five Kage.
However, she wasn't planning to be direct about it. Instead, she decided to spend some time getting to know Shishou better. If he was interested in her and she developed feelings for him, they could naturally grow closer. Fortunately, Shishou had many women, and Yugito was aware of this.
This knowledge reduced Samui's feelings of guilt towards Yugito. If Shishou had only one woman, she wouldn't consider pursuing him. But if Shishou wasn't interested in her, she wouldn't force it, nor would she demean herself to please him.
After Samui and Mabui decided to join, Yugito suggested they all go to the capital city of the Land of Lightning for a day out. Shishou had already marked the capital with his Flying Thunder God technique, making travel easy.
Mabui and Samui agreed with the idea, as they were very familiar with the Cloud Village and found it lacking in entertainment.
With their decision made, Shishou embraced Yugito and extended his hand to Samui and Mabui.
Samui, after a brief hesitation, took Shishou's hand, while Mabui blushed and placed her hand on his arm.
They spent the day eating, drinking, and shopping together, returning to the Cloud Village in the afternoon using Shishou's Flying Thunder God technique.
Mabui and Samui then headed to their respective homes.
Yugito, on the other hand, brought Shishou to her home.
Upon arriving at her house, Shishou learned that her parents had passed away long ago, and she had been living alone ever since.
Yugito seated Shishou on a sofa where he could watch movies, placing several plates of fruit, snacks, and comic books in front of him. She then prepared to leave to buy groceries and cook a meal, as well as tidy up Shishou's room.
Seeing the array of fruit like offerings, Shishou couldn't help but laugh. He pulled Yugito into his arms and teased, "Are you missing an incense burner and some candles?"
"Incense burner and candles?" Yugito looked confused, not understanding what Shishou meant.
Seeing her adorable expression, Shishou kissed her forehead and pointed to the fruit plates, laughing, "This way, you can worship me as a deity."
Blushing, Yugito fidgeted and said, "I-I still need to buy groceries and cook, and prepare your room. I can't stay here with you..."
Shishou looked at her and asked, "Do you even know how to cook?"
Yugito's face turned even redder, and she shook her head awkwardly, stealing a glance at Shishou.
Her parents had died early, and she became the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails. Though she lived alone, she mostly ate out, so she didn't know how to cook.
That's why she wanted to quickly learn from Samui and cook a meal for Shishou herself.
Seeing Yugito's embarrassed expression, Shishou laughed again and couldn't resist kissing her once more.
The once proud queen now looked like a young wife worried about not knowing how to cook and fearing her husband's reproach. This contrast made Shishou like her even more.
"If you can't cook, I'll do it," Shishou said, letting go of her flushed face.
"But cooking is supposed to be the wife's... my job," Yugito stammered, unable to say the word "wife."
Though she was the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails, she knew a wife's duties at home. In the ninja world, no matter how strong a woman was outside, after getting married, she would become a gentle and kind housewife. Yugito understood this as well.
"There is no you and me in a marriage," Shishou smiled, pulling her towards the door.
He didn't believe that women should naturally be housewives and serve their husbands, as many men in the ninja world did.
Relationships needed to be nurtured. Constantly taking without giving only created distance. Therefore, in response to Yugito's initiative, he needed to reciprocate. This was the way to maintain a long-lasting relationship.
This was why, despite having many women around him, women like Mikoto, Eri, Miroku, and Tsunade were still devoted to him.
Husband and wife!!!
Yugito, holding Shishou's hand, kept repeating these words in her mind. Her face was burning, and she felt dizzy, unable to tell direction.
After shopping for groceries and preparing dinner together like a couple, and then arranging Shishou's room, Yugito finally snapped out of her blissful daze as they sat together in the garden.
Watching the setting sun, Yugito held Shishou's hand and said, "Shishou, I want to take you to meet my parents. Is that okay?"
"Of course," Shishou smiled, squeezing her hand.
Since Yugito would be with him in the future, becoming his wife and the mother of his children, it was only right for Shishou to pay respects to her parents.
Seeing Shishou agree, Yugito happily prepared the items for the visit and led him to a cemetery on the outskirts of the Cloud Village.
Yugito's parents had died on a mission when she was young. She was then chosen as a Jinchuriki and lived alone. As a lonely child, she often visited her parents' graves to talk to them.
It wasn't until she met Mabui and Samui that she visited less frequently.
After setting up the offerings, Yugito knelt in front of the graves, and Shishou, after some thought, knelt beside her.
Seeing this, Yugito felt deeply touched.
After the visit, they returned home.
Late at night.
After washing up, Shishou lay in the tatami room Yugito had prepared for him, contemplating the details of Yugito's Ultra Kage plan.
Suddenly, the wooden door of the room slid open.
Yugito, dressed elaborately, stood at the doorway.
Bathed in moonlight, she looked stunning and seductive.
Shishou was momentarily stunned by her beauty.
Biting her lip, Yugito, under Shishou's gaze, shyly but resolutely reached for her waist.
One piece of clothing fell after another, revealing her flawless body bathed in moonlight, exuding a breathtaking beauty.
The door closed, plunging the room back into darkness as light footsteps approached.
Just as Shishou was about to speak, his neck was encircled by trembling hands.
"Shishou, love me..."
