Goddess of Ice; Reborn as Naruto's twin sister

Chapter 248 - Are You A Good Girl, Fuu?

While Gaara and Shukaku were having a weird bonding moment due to Yuna, Fuu arrived on the scene with an annoyed pout on her face.

"You said that I could join the fun next time, but everything is over before I could do anything, yet again. Don't you want to have fun together? I thought we were friends!"

When Yuna heard Fuu's words, she couldn't help but chuckle a little and started patting her head.

Although Fuu was confused when Yuna put her hand on Fuu's head, moments later, Fuu squinted her eyes in pleasure.

"Hehe, this feels nice~"

"It's good that you calmed down. I'm sorry, okay? The situation was a little dangerous for Gaara, so I didn't have time to fetch you. Gaara is your friend as well, so you wouldn't want him to get hurt just because you wanted to have fun, right?"

When Fuu heard Yuna's words, she opened her eyes in surprise and immediately started looking a little guilty.

"I see, so that is what happened. Sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you, Yuna."

Yuna chuckled again before removing her hand from Fuu's head, resulting in her pouting a little. A snowflake-like kunai appeared in Yuna's hand, which she motioned Fuu to accept.

"How about we do it like this? This kunai has my teleportation mark on it. Next time something interesting happens, I will teleport to you and fetch you, okay?"

A massive grin appeared on Fuu's face when she heard Yuna's words, and she immediately hugged her.

"THAT'S AWESOME!!! Doesn't that mean that we can meet any time we want to?! You definitely have to visit me when I am back in Taki. I will be your guide and show you everything there is to see in my home village. Ah! You have to show me Konoha as well!"

"Sure. Let's do it."

'I wonder what Tsunade will think about me casually inviting yet another Junchuuriki to Konoha. This will be fun~'

[Won't she just shrug it off?]

'Nah, I don't think she is that far gone yet.'

["Yet" she says…Oh, but didn't she react calmly to Isobu?]

'Pretty sure she is simply in denial.'

While Yuna was talking with Kurama, Fuu let go of Yuna and carefully stored the kunai in one of her weapon pouches.

"I almost forgot about something else, Fuu. If you are in danger, then just throw the kunai, and I will come to your help."

Fuu eagerly nodded her head, and Yuna's gaze landed on Gaara.

"You want one as well, Gaara?"

"I don't think the people of Suna would be happy about me carrying an easy access for you into Suna with me."

Yuna tilted her head in confusion when she heard Gaara's words.

"I mean, I already have a few teleportation markers inside Suna, so I don't see the problem with there being one more."

"…"

"…"

"Excuse me; I must have misheard you just now. Did you say you already have marks inside the Village Hidden in Sand, Sunagakure?"

Yuna rolled her eyes at Gaara before shrugging her shoulders.

"Well, obviously. What is the point of an ability that allows you to teleport to marked places if you don't spread the marks around?"

Gaara could feel a massive headache approaching when he heard Yuna's "logical" explanation of why she smuggled teleportations marks that could easily lead to Suna's destruction into the village. After a short moment of pondering, he made a decision.

"Ah, I see. That makes sense. I will take the kunai."

"That's good. Now I don't have to smuggle a seal onto you."

Gaara couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard Yuna's words.

"Would you really have done that if I disagreed?"

"Haha, of course not. I was just joking."

'After all, I already did it preemptively while we were meeting Shukaku and Chomei.'

[Honestly, how can you even differentiate between all the people you have marked when you can barely remember someone's name on some occasions?]

'Mostly through slight variations in the seal, but should you know that? You can see what I am doing, after all.'

[Are you making fun of me? Even if I can see what you are doing, how in the world is that supposed to help me understand all these absurd seals you are creating? In fact, when you get immersed in creating seals, I usually take a nap.]

'Eh, don't be like that, Kurama. You should put more effort into learning new things. You could be the first Bijuu that is capable of sealing itself into someone, hahaha!'

[No, thanks, I have better things to do. For example, taking a nap.]

After Gaara received Yuna's kunai, he turned around and started walking away. Yuna wanted to leave as well, but before she could do so, Fuu hugged her again.

"Hey, Yuna, can you do that again? You rubbing my head with your hand felt really nice."

Yuna chuckled and lifted her hand towards Fuu's head, but her hand stopped before reaching it.

"Well, only good girls get their head pat; Are you a good girl, Fuu?"

Fuu immediately puffed out her chest and put her hands on her hips.

"Of course, I am a super good girl!"

"Ohh? Is that so? In that case, I wonder what happened to your two teammates."

Fuu pondered Yuna's words for a short moment before shrugging her shoulders.

"I ditched them."

"Is that really something a good girl would do?"

Fuu seemed as if she was struck by lightning when she heard Yuna's words.

"Eh? It isn't?"

"No, it isn't."

Fuu was yearningly looking at Yuna's hand that was still hovering in the air when a determined glint appeared in her eyes.

"Alright, please wait a moment; I will go and fetch them, then it should be fine, right?"

"Sure, go for it."

Fuu's eyes shone in excitement, and she immediately ran off.

"Make sure to give me plenty of head pats when I come back!"

"Sure, sure."

Meanwhile, inside the Uzumaki compound, Hinata was sitting on a pillow and was meditating while a small amount of natural energy was constantly entering her body.

Suddenly, her eyes opened, her Byakugan activated, and strong bloodlust started oozing out of her body.

"I need to go to Suna."

Without a moment of hesitation, she stood up and headed towards the Hokage's office.
