Goddess of Ice; Reborn as Naruto's twin sister Chapter 283: A Familiar Pattern

“I cho…”

[Please don’t.]

‘Eh? Why not?’

[Because it is entirely pointless and makes you look like an idiot.]

‘…’

[…]

‘Fine, whatever.’

Yuna shrugged her shoulders and casually tossed the second token on the floor, resulting in another person appearing in the middle of the room. It was a woman with long black hair that looked a little similar to Haku.

Meanwhile, Mito was looking at Yuna with suspicion-filled eyes. Just now, Yuna wanted to say something before throwing the token but was seemingly interrupted before she could do so. Since no one else said anything or moved, Mito could only guess that she spoke to someone in her mind, and since she didn’t feel the slightest chakra fluctuation, she concluded that it was an intern conversation. However, that could only mean one thing…

‘She was talking with the Kyuubi? Has it been influencing her? If the Kyuubi is involved, then I could certainly understand how her personality turned out like that, but there are still more things that are off about her that can’t be argued away like that.’

Luckily, Kurama couldn’t hear Mito’s thoughts, or he would have piled up quite a few colorful curses on her for thinking that he was the reason for the way Yuna acted.

Meanwhile, Fuyu Yuki was looking around the room with a frown on her face that only deepened when she saw Yuna looking at her with a casual smile.

“Haven’t you already humiliated me enough? What is the point of unsealing me again?”

Instantly, everyone in the room looked at Yuna with accusing eyes, causing her to let out an awkward chuckle.

“Hehe, don’t be like this. Look, this is Haku, a survivor from your clan.”

Instead of bothering with everyone’s accusing looks, Yuna shifted everyone’s attention towards Haku, who opened her eyes in shock when she heard Yuna’s words.

“Eh? From my clan?”

The moment Fuyu saw Haku, her gaze immediately became softer, and she started walking towards Haku with a doting smile on her face, which caused Yuna to raise her eyebrow.

“Is it just me, or is this pattern somewhat familiar.”

Although most people in the room heard Yuna’s murmuring, none of them had any clue what she was talking about until Fuyu reached Haku and grasped her hands with a happy smile on her face.

“Just look at you. When I heard that you associate with that monster of there, I could only imagine the worst, but you appear to be a very proper young woman.”

“Yep, definitely familiar.”

The other people in the room could only look at Yuna in disbelief when she somehow managed to predict how Fuyu would act, which caused her to shrug her shoulders in indifference.

“The longer you seek the Dao, the more familiar the unknown path becomes.”

[I guess my previous worries about you speaking reasonably were unfounded.]

‘Oh yeah, no worries; I got this.’

[Right…]

Meanwhile, every other person in the room looked at Yuna weirdly before they decided to simply ignore her words.

A few hours later, after everyone got a chance to talk with the Uzumaki compound’s two new residents, Yuna and Mito, were walking side by side to a specific part of the Uzumaki compound.

If Mito hadn’t been so busy with taking in the sight of the Uzumaki compound, she probably would have noticed that there was a rather mischievous smirk on Yuna’s face that usually meant that someone was about to have a bad time.

But, Mito simply couldn’t help herself but look around the Uzumaki compound with a fond smile on her face. Everything was very similar to how it was while she still lived in Uzushiogakure, Village Hidden by Whirling Tides in the Land of Whirlpools.

The people of the Uzumaki clan were just as lively and open as she remembered them to be, and no matter where she went, everything was dyed in a vibrant atmosphere.

Additionally, Mito’s eyes wandered all over the compound as she continuously analyzed the formation covering it with childlike curiosity.

“Truly fascinating. Uzushiogakure was also covered by a large-scale sealing formation, but it was mainly used to make enemies lose their way inside the whirlpools surrounding the village. This one, however, constantly monitors the whole compound and can even actively take part in its defense. It’s a totally different approach but a masterpiece nonetheless. Were you the one who created this?”

Mito expected Yuna to act smug after all that praise, which she indeed did, but not for the reason she expected.

“Nope, I barely had anything to do with it. Naruto, my little brother, pretty much designed the whole thing, and I only helped create it.”

Mito’s footsteps stopped when she heard Yuna’s words and looked at her in disbelief.

“He designed it? Not you? How old was he when he did that?”

“Mhh? How old? It was two years ago, so about thirteen, I guess.”

Mito completely froze up when she heard that and looked at her in bewilderment.

‘Yuna is utterly abnormal; I already made my peace with that fact, but it seems like the little brother is somewhat abnormal as well.’

“*Sigh* I already accepter that you are a freak of nature, but how come your little brother is like that as well…”

“Is it just me, or are you getting off by insulting me?”

However, Mito completely ignored Yuna’s barb and continued talking.

“…If he is capable of designing something this complex at such a young age, he must be a monstrous genius.”

This time, it was Yuna’s turn to have a dotting expression appear on her face, which surprised Mito quite a bit.

“Hahaha, of course, he is my cute little brother, after all. Actually, he specializes in prank seals, so how about you ask him to show you a few of those?”

On the one hand, Mito’s eyebrow twitched in irritation when she heard that Naruto specializes in pranks seals, but on the other hand, she could feel a little bit of fear bubble up from the depth of her mind when she heard the second part of Yuna’s sentence.

‘How weird; I wonder why I felt like that just now? My first guess would be that I am afraid of whatever prank seals Naruto created, but that is just ridiculous. There is no way a 15-year-old young man could make a seal that someone of my age would be afraid of, no matter how much of a genius in seals he was.’

Mito was about to ask Yuna a few more things about Naruto when a frown appeared on her face as she sniffed her nose due to smelling a rather strong scent of alcohol.

Before she could say anything else, the mischievous smile on Yuna’s face made a reappearance, resulting in her face twisting in glee.

“Hehe, time for another reunion. I assume you remember your granddaughter, Tsunade? She lives inside the Uzumaki compound as well.”

Although Mito had a bad feeling about Yuna’s current facial expression, which certainly wasn’t helped by the piercing smell of alcohol in the air, a fond expression appeared on her face when she thought of Tsunade while Yuna almost laughed out loud.

‘Oh, my~ Isn’t this such an interesting coincidence? Yesterday evening, I bribed Tsunade with her favorite alcohol so that she wouldn’t ask any questions about Orochimaru’s death, and on the very next day, her grandmother wants to meet her. It’s almost like someone wants Mito to see Tsunade’s while she is completely devastated from a night of heavy drinking.’

[Calm down, Satan.]

‘HAHAHAHA!!! SATAN!? YOU DARE TO COMPARE ME TO SUCH A SMALL FRY!?’
