It was clearly a cruel joke of the hokage to choose them for the undercover couple. For one, he refused to take off the stupid mask even when undercover, for another, she was pretty sure he was going to explode from awkward sooner or later when she had to link arms around him or kiss his cheek or whatever it was she had to do to convince people that yes, she really did marry this weirdo, don't question it please.
She'd also definitely murder her favorite sensei if he tried to use it as an excuse to force her to make and/or buy him dinner
one more time.
Yes, if this was a joke, it was the cruelest. If this were punishment, it was unfair, because it must have been punishment for him (she hasn't pissed the hokage off any time recently) and yet she too suffered.
He was kind of a slob, he was depressing, awkward, idiotic, and she's pretty sure intentionally the worst possible husband.
It was a wonder he didn't purposefully throw it while they were in public, too. The disturbing part was how poorly he handled it when he was presumably trying.
Nothing, however, has she ever experienced that was so unnerving as the one day they spotted the mark they were hunting for that whole month.
It wasn't the way he got serious, or his brilliance as a shinobi when they dealt with him.
The creepy part was that, as soon as they spotted the mark (and as long as the mark lived from that point on), he actually acted like a competent and convincing husband.
