Everyone's Family, What's Wrong with a Hug?

Everyone's Family, What's Wrong with a Hug?

After Furina finished speaking, she learned through their eye contact that both Hinata and Roman had reincarnated into the Naruto World. Roman had spent ten years as an orphan, while Hinata had become a genius of the Hyuga Clan.

Of course, that was not the most important part.

The most important thing was that after the two came close together, Hinata Hyuga's Byakugan power, and even her Chakra, had increased dramatically. Roman had also gained Chakra, and even the Byakugan...

And more importantly, as time passed, this improvement was still continuing!

This thrilled Furina. She saw the possibility of gaining power—the hope of transcending mortality and becoming a true Hydro Archon!

Furina's excitement and thirst for power... quickly reached Roman and Hinata Hyuga through their emotional resonance.

Hinata Hyuga could not help asking, "You want to become stronger? You want to obtain the power of Chakra from me?"

Furina put on a pitiful expression. "Can't I?"

"Of course you can. Come hug me." After saying that, Hinata Hyuga turned to Roman. "You too. The three of us should stay together."

"Alright."

Roman nodded.

Then, the three of them moved closer and embraced one another.

Furina did not resist at all.

After all, she now knew that Roman's appearance was not a disguise, but real... He truly was the reincarnation of the original Roman fragment.

From the perspective of soul essence, he was another gender-swapped version of her.

Since that was the case, what was wrong with a hug?

It was just hugging herself.

Their current posture was like this: Furina held five-year-old Hinata Hyuga as though she were holding her daughter, while Roman hugged Furina from behind.

It looked like a warm family of three, but Furina quickly shattered that warm scene. Her face suddenly turned red, and even her ears reddened!

The ahoge on top of her head nearly popped right out of her hat.

The reason was simple. She felt Hinata's little movements. Hinata had rested her head against her small chest... Furthermore, at such close range, Furina sensed Hinata's thoughts through their emotional resonance:

So flat. It feels like it's all bones.

Furina's... is really small. It feels like an A cup.

She'd been Fontaine's Hydro Archon for ten years, yet she still hadn't grown up into having a big chest.

But I, Hinata Hyuga, am different. In just ten years, I'll have a big chest. And unlike the original Hinata, I eat my fill every day. In ten years... I'll definitely develop better than the original Hinata.

Furina, red with embarrassment, heard these thoughts and could not help saying, "Although I've been the Hydro Archon for ten years, Mirror Me—Focalors—appointed me Fontaine's Hydro Archon the moment I was born. In other words, I'm only ten years old. I haven't fully grown up yet."

"Hehe."

Hinata Hyuga gave a derisive laugh. "Dear other me, Furina... stop being stubborn. Based on our memories of playing Genshin Impact in our previous lives, you still won't develop at all over the next 490 years. Your chest isn't going to grow at all. It'll always stay this size."

Furina opened her mouth upon hearing that, but could not say anything. Her face only grew redder and redder with embarrassment.

Just then, Roman, who was hugging Furina around the waist from behind, spoke. "It's fine. Small is cute too. I like it."

Furina's expression eased slightly. She cast a provocative glance at Hinata Hyuga in her arms, only to see Hinata roll her eyes. "Oh, please. We're both reincarnations of the original Roman, so naturally we know Roman's preferences!

"He wants both big and small!

"They're all the same..."

"That's right."

Roman admitted it without hesitation.

After all, both Hinata Hyuga and Furina before him were reincarnations of fragments of the original Roman's soul. In a sense, they were other versions of himself.

And people often understood their own inner thoughts best!

So what was wrong with admitting it?!

"..."

Furina was slightly stunned after hearing Roman admit it... Not because his bold words shocked her, but because she noticed that after saying those bold words, Roman's breathing had grown heavier...

Furina's body trembled slightly. After a moment of silence, she said:

"That part of you moved..."

"I can't help it. Observing Fontaine's Hydro Archon, Lady Furina, the God of Justice with no impurity in her ideals, from such close range naturally gives me a reaction. After all, I'm a man."

After hearing Roman's bold words, Furina's neck turned red as well. She was clearly embarrassed to the extreme. Then she quickly thought of something and said, "Just now you called me a pure human, and now you're calling me Lady Furina. You're far too fickle."

"Men are always fickle."

After saying that, Roman moved forward and blew gently into Furina's ear.

"You bastard."

Furina felt all of this, and a trace of embarrassed anger appeared on her delicate face.

She began stamping her feet.

At that moment, Hinata Hyuga, who was in Furina's arms, sensed something and said, "Furina, I think I can feel it. Your body is reacting too.

"But thinking about it, that's perfectly normal. Although you're Fontaine's god, you only represent the human side of Fontaine's Hydro Archon. Your body is mortal.

"Under these circumstances, it's only natural that you'd react too."

"..."

Furina was powerless to refute that. Her face only burned even redder.

Just then, Roman also noticed that Furina was nearly at her limit.

If he provoked her any further, Furina would start punching him with her little fists, so he changed the subject. "How do you feel now, Furina? Has your body changed at all?"

Hearing that, Furina realized Roman was helping her change the subject. She hurriedly closed her eyes and carefully sensed the state of her body.

Yet by doing so, the feeling of being pressed against from behind became even more obvious.

It's too big!

After Roman learned that I, Furina, was the reincarnation of a fragment of his soul and sensed that I had no resistance toward him, he completely stopped restraining himself!

Furina thought angrily and embarrassedly, taking a deep breath as she tried to cast aside distracting thoughts... Focus, I have to focus.

Very quickly, Furina sensed that her physical strength had increased considerably. Aside from that change in strength, she had not gained Chakra.

After finishing her inspection, Furina explained her situation.

"Only your physical body changed? You didn't gain Chakra?" Roman pondered for a moment. "That's exactly the same as what happened to me before. You can try practicing the Chakra Cultivation Method again. I only gained Chakra after trying to cultivate it."

Hearing that, Furina put little Hinata down from her arms, then hurriedly pulled away from Roman and covered her little butt...

"Go ahead and try cultivating the Chakra Cultivation Method properly. I won't mess around this time." Roman said seriously, "As everyone knows, I'm a serious person when there's serious business to handle."

"Hmph, of course I know that."

After saying that, Furina gave a delicate snort, sat cross-legged in Chaos Hall, and began cultivating.

However, several minutes passed, and her cells still did not produce any Chakra.

Roman had kept his Byakugan active beside her, observing Furina's condition. When he noticed that Furina had not cultivated Chakra in such a short time, he frowned slightly.

"That shouldn't be possible. After synchronizing our talents, Furina should have been able to get started quickly."

At that moment, Hinata Hyuga thought of something and said, "Perhaps it's because she isn't from the Naruto World and doesn't have 130 trillion cells in her body.

"Instead, she's a Fontaine person transformed by Focalors, the strongest Oceanid, so she can't extract Chakra energy from her cells."

Roman's frown deepened. "Then wouldn't Furina have come here full of hope, only to leave disappointed?!"

To be honest, Roman really wanted to see Furina grow stronger. No matter what, Furina was another version of himself.

Just then, Hinata Hyuga, who had continued observing Furina's internal condition, shook her head and spoke again:

"Furina won't leave disappointed. Roman, look carefully at the circulation path of the Chakra Cultivation Method inside Furina's body. It has already undergone a subtle adaptive change.

"It seems the energy being cultivated is no longer Chakra, but another kind of energy."

Roman's eyes widened. "You mean that after Furina cultivated the Chakra Cultivation Method, it naturally turned into a method capable of cultivating Elemental Energy?"

Hinata nodded slightly. "Probably.

"The reason Furina can't cultivate Elemental Energy right now is also because there are no Ley Lines from Teyvat nearby. Once she returns to Teyvat, she'll probably be able to cultivate Elemental Energy, and might even obtain a Vision!"
