Yui sighed helplessly, picked Nai Hyuga up, and laid her flat on the large bed in the room.
Resting her chin on her hand, she began to ponder the strange phenomenon that had just occurred in Nai Hyuga's body.
When she had channeled her fire release chakra into Nai's body, she had clearly felt some resistance. If she hadn't possessed so much chakra, she might not have been able to suppress that ice.
