Chapter 348 Freeze Everything

The battle situation changed so quickly that an ordinary person like Fūka Sōsetsu was caught off guard.

Just a moment ago, Fūka Dotō was incredibly strong, fighting two against one, and the next second, both his arms were cut off, and he fell to the ground, unable to move.

Due to Fūka Dotō’s identity, the moment the thunderous sound rang out, Rin Nohara quickly hugged Fuka Kazehana’s head to prevent her from being traumatized.

After dealing with Fūka Dotō, Kakashi and Obito didn’t waste any time and immediately helped the guards eliminate the other three Snow Ninja.

A guard attempted to finish off Fūka Dotō with a sword but was stopped by Fūka Sōsetsu.

Fūka Sōsetsu walked up to Fūka Dotō and asked earnestly, “Dotō, do you regret doing all this?”

Even now, Fūka Sōsetsu still didn’t understand why Fūka Dotō wanted to usurp the throne; Fūka Dotō lacked neither wealth nor power.

“Of course, I regret it. I regret not starting preparations sooner. Maybe then I could have completed the plan before you found out,” Fūka Dotō replied with a sneer.

At this point, even if Fūka Sōsetsu wanted to protect him, it would be difficult. Since death was inevitable, Fūka Dotō refused to admit defeat.

Seeing Fūka Dotō still in this state, Fūka Sōsetsu completely gave up hope. He rubbed Fuka Kazehana’s head and used his body to block Fuka Kazehana’s view.

The guard next to him understood immediately and instantly stabbed Fūka Dotō to death with a sword.

“Take his body to the battlefield and use it to persuade them to surrender; it should help Muzuki reduce some pressure,” Fūka Sōsetsu said.

Fūka Dotō was essentially the client for the Snow Ninja. With Fūka Dotō dead, the Snow Ninja’s fight lost its meaning.

“Look, everyone, what’s that?”

At this moment, someone noticed a new change on the battlefield.

“It’s about time to end the battle.” After using Great Fire Annihilation, Muzuki sensed his remaining Chakra and decided to end the battle in one go.

That Great Fire Annihilation move was indeed powerful; hundreds of Snow Ninja working together couldn’t stop it. However, the consumption was also significant. Continuing to fight like this would certainly lead to a win, but Muzuki preferred to keep some Chakra in case of unexpected situations.

The reason Muzuki initially used Fire Release was because his Fire Release skills were excellent. He had perfect-level Nature Transformation, proficient-level Flame Breathing, and a bunch of proficient-level Fire Release Ninjutsu.

With so many good skills, Muzuki naturally wanted to test their actual performance in combat, as the panel doesn’t display actual power.

If he wanted to win effortlessly, Fire Release wasn’t the best choice, because the Snow Ninja were seemingly using Ice Release, but in reality, it was Water Release or Snow Secret Arts, which countered Fire Release.

“Water Breathing, Full Concentration!”

Muzuki switched his Breathing Technique to Water Breathing to enhance his Water Release abilities and immediately entered Water Breathing Chakra Mode.

In Land of Snow, an island nation, Water Release or Ice Release were the optimal choices.

After Muzuki entered Water Breathing Chakra Mode, Hango Binfu felt that Muzuki had changed somewhat, but having already witnessed Muzuki’s true strength, Hango Binfu dared not step forward to fight him, only releasing Ninjutsu from behind his subordinates.

“Water Release: Super Exploding Water Shockwave!”

Muzuki clapped his hands, and a large amount of Chakra within his body instantly transformed into Water Release Chakra. A gigantic current, like a tidal wave, was spat out by Muzuki, rushing towards the Snow Ninja.

“He actually mastered Water Release of this level!” Hango Binfu’s expression suddenly changed, and he felt a strong sense of unease.

The other Snow Ninja, upon seeing the Water Release that resembled a giant wave on the sea, instinctively retreated a few steps.

“He’s truly like a walking natural disaster,” Asama Santaifu exclaimed.

As a resident of an island nation, he understood the sea well. A terrifying wave of this magnitude, even from a distance, could make one’s heart pound. He could imagine how the Snow Ninja facing the terrifying wave must be feeling.

For a Ninja of Muzuki’s strength, Asama Santaifu could only describe him as a human-shaped natural disaster, overturning his perception of Ninja.

“As expected of Muzuki-sensei, his Water Release is much more powerful than that of the Hidden Mist,” Obito said with a proud expression.

Although Muzuki hadn’t used very strong Water Release before, Obito wasn’t too surprised, after all, this was the omnipotent Muzuki-sensei.

“Has Water Release also reached such a level? Has Muzuki-sensei’s Ninjutsu already reached the level of the Third Hokage?” Kakashi couldn’t help but wonder as he watched the tidal wave created by Muzuki.

The strongest and most frequently used Ninjutsu Muzuki had displayed before them was Fire Release. This was the first time Muzuki had shown his Water Release abilities. For a moment, a bold conjecture arose in Kakashi’s mind: perhaps Muzuki’s other Nature Transformation were equally strong, but he simply hadn’t had the opportunity to use them.

Kakashi thought about it and felt that it was a bit unrealistic. The Third Hokage was a super genius in Ninjutsu. It was impossible for Muzuki to be on par with the Third Hokage after such a short period of training.

But just as everyone was marveling at the power of Muzuki’s Water Release, changes appeared again.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

Suddenly, a series of explosions rang out. The ground suddenly cracked, and columns of water shot out.

Muzuki’s Super Exploding Water Shockwave isn’t just about a large volume of water; an ordinary Exploding Water Shockwave with enough Chakra can also produce enough water to form a lake. The characteristic of the Super Exploding Water Shockwave lies in its ability to control water flow over a wide range, even drawing up groundwater.

If groundwater could be drawn up, there was no need to mention already excavated wells. All the wells in Fuka Castle sprayed water columns towards the battlefield.

Super Exploding Water Shockwave can truly be considered an S-rank Water Release Forbidden Jutsu. To perform it, three conditions must be met: first, Water Breathing Chakra Mode; second, high proficiency in Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation, at least proficient-level with over 3000 mastery points; and third, a large amount of Chakra.

The water columns coming from all directions made the Snow Ninja extremely disheveled. Some Snow Ninja were directly severely injured by multiple water columns.

“What kind of Ninjutsu is this?!” Hango Binfu’s worldview was once again challenged as he watched the water columns erupting from the ground and shooting from the distant city.

This was completely unlike any Ninjutsu he knew; its affected area was simply too vast.

But Hango Binfu didn’t have time to think any further, because in addition to the water columns from all directions, he also had to face the surging tidal wave.

Boom!

A huge roar erupted after the giant wave crashed down. Some Snow Ninja directly vomited blood and collapsed after this heavy blow, while the remaining Snow Ninja were swept into the massive water current.

Although Hango Binfu withstood the incoming giant wave, he couldn’t escape; the volume of water was simply too much.

Just as Hango Binfu was considering how to escape alive, the direction of the water columns changed. Instead of randomly shooting at the Snow Ninja, they began to continuously strengthen the water flow.

And those water currents that had swept away the Snow Ninja miraculously did not disperse, as if an invisible boundary was holding the water, eventually forming a gigantic elliptical water sphere nearly a hundred meters high, trapping all the Snow Ninja.

This is the effect of Great Exploding Water Shockwave, and Super Exploding Water Shockwave also has this effect.

This is why Muzuki tirelessly practiced various Ninjutsu; when one has enough Ninjutsu knowledge, developing new Ninjutsu becomes simpler.

“This large defense won’t be strong, I still have a chance!” Hango Binfu held his breath and continuously swam towards the boundary of the water sphere, trying to break it with his own strength.

It must be said that his thinking was good, but how could Muzuki, the caster, not have thought of something he could think of?

“Ice Release: Freezing Ray!”

Muzuki raised his hands, a large amount of Chakra exploded within his body, rapidly transforming these Chakra into Ice Release Chakra and releasing it quickly. Immediately after, dazzling white light emanated from Muzuki’s hands, and a thick, blue-white ray shot into the water sphere.

Just as Hango Binfu was about to touch the water sphere, the water sphere froze at an incredibly fast speed, and Hango Binfu, like his name, was frozen. The entire giant water sphere quickly transformed into a gigantic ice sphere, radiating colorful light under the sunlight.

The guards of Fuka Castle, Muzuki’s disciples, Fūka Sōsetsu, everyone looked at the gigantic ice sphere emitting colorful light.

“Could he be the snow god sent to save Land of Snow?” a guard asked in disbelief.

A nearly hundred-meter-high ice sphere being created right before their eyes was truly too astonishing. Even if you stacked fifty two-meter-tall men, they would barely reach the highest point of the ice sphere. A single person felt incredibly small in front of this gigantic ice sphere.

“I’d rather believe he is the snow god,” Asama Santaifu said in his heart.

Muzuki’s various techniques, in his eyes, were truly superhuman. Of course, he only said this to himself, as there were quite a few people in Land of Snow who believed in the snow god.

Because the ice sphere was so large, even people in the residential area saw the sudden appearance of the giant ice, and they began to discuss it animatedly. Some even believed it was a divine miracle sent by the snow god because the Snow God Festival was approaching.

“Such an unimaginable realm,” Kakashi thought, looking at the giant ice sphere, also feeling a shock.

The series of actions Muzuki had just performed contained too much information: his miraculous Water Release, and finally, his Bloodline Limit, Ice Release.

Ever since his Breathing Technique had made rapid progress, Kakashi had been quite confident. But the more he understood Muzuki, the more he realized that Muzuki was the true genius, simply too humble and low-key.

“If I could learn three-tenths of Muzuki-sensei’s Water Release, I could also play a greater role in battles in the future,” Rin Nohara said with a hint of longing in her eyes.

In the recent battle, she had mostly been a bystander; Kakashi and Obito had done most of the work.

It wasn’t that she wanted to slack off, but if she didn’t use Water Release well, it might actually interfere with Obito’s Fire Release. Instead of wasting that Chakra, it was better to protect Fuka Kazehana.

Of course, Rin Nohara believed this was mainly due to her lack of ability. If she could be like Muzuki, this situation wouldn’t occur.

“Father, what’s that? It’s so big!” Fuka Kazehana exclaimed immediately after poking her head out and spotting the ice sphere.

“That’s the work of our ice and snow hero,” Fūka Sōsetsu said with a sigh.

Recalling the memories of these past few days, Fūka Sōsetsu truly felt as if he were in a dream, absurd, strange, and unbelievable.

His trusted younger brother was actually plotting to usurp the throne, and just when he thought the situation had reached a dead end, his side had an exceptionally strong Ninja who could fight a hundred enemies and create miracles.

Sorry, I’ve been busy all day today, and I’m still out, so the update is late and short. I’m really tired today.
