The Ninjutsu Truly Paired with Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals

No, no, no, that's a bit too much for Kidomaru.

While Sakura Haruno was fighting Jirobo and Tayuya, Kidomaru created thousands upon thousands of gold-plated Kunai one go!

With a flick of his hand, Kunai shot towards the ice mirror created by Sakura.

"If you shatter all the ice mirrors, you won't be able to use that Body Flicker Technique anymore, right?" Kidomaru revealed a cold smile.

He was panting heavily; the exertion had taken a heavy toll on his strength, but it was all worth it.

The ice blocks, imbued with Chakra, were exceptionally tough, making it no easy task to shatter so many ice mirrors, ice blocks, and ice darts. However, Kidomaru's Secret Technique: Spider Sticky Gold— also possessed considerable destructive power. After he had specifically enhanced the hardness and sharpness of his Kunai, he successfully destroyed all the ice mirrors in his field of vision.

Kidomaru's previous plan was to use the fat man's stone wall to create complex terrain to avoid directly facing Sakura Haruno, who would then harass him, while Tayuya's summoning Doki would be responsible for creating white worms to launch the main attack.

Who would have thought that Sakura's new Ninjutsu Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, would have such strong battlefield mobility, completely obliterating the existence of the stone wall, and then she easily defeated Jirobo.

However, Kidomaru quickly discovered the secret of this Ninjutsu and swiftly seized upon its weakness to launch a counterattack.

At least for now, Sakura can no longer move freely across the battlefield like she did before, right?

Having paid the price of losing another member, the Sound Ninja finally managed to organize a respectable offensive.

"Hmm, the fact that ice mirrors and ice blocks are easily destroyed is also a drawback, and it would be best to keep a few ice mirrors hidden away so they are not easily spotted..." After all, this is the first time that Ninjutsu has been used in actual combat, and using the enemy to help find problems is one of Sakura Haruno's goals.

Kidomaru is very clever...

However, the "Swallow Snow Storm" technique is still too weak; against Orochimaru, a more powerful Ninjutsu is needed. The true complementary Ninjutsu to the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals should be this—

Ice Release: Frost Ice Burial!

"You like using Ice Mirror, huh? Let's see how you fight back with this spell!"

A bone-chilling cold spread wildly across the entire land as the Ninjutsu was unleashed.

Crackling sounds filled the air as ice grew rapidly.

She had used this Ninjutsu in battle for the first time during the Chunin Ninja Exams, but the technique she used now was vastly different from that one:

This time, it was no longer used in Chunin Exams, but in a life-or-death battle taking place in the wild;

Her opponent is no longer her comrade Naruto Uzumaki she must show mercy to, but rather the Sound Ninja Group under Orochimaru, with whom she will fight to the death, and possibly even Sannin himself, one of the Orochimaru;

The user was no longer Sakura, the fresh-faced rookie ninja who had just mastered Ice Release, but Sakura Haruno, Anbu Ninja research into Ice Release had deepened and whose Chakra reserves were now vastly different.

The Frost Ice Burial technique is no longer a flashy Ninjutsu for showing off in front of thousands of spectators, but a high-level Ice Release used to establish Ice Release home field and fight against strong opponents!

"Hey--!" She took a deep breath, and the massive amount of Chakra surging within her gradually subsided as the Ninjutsu was completed.

Cherry blossoms fall to the ground, gazing into the distance.

The entire earth was frozen, with a thick layer of ice covering the ground, turning the area within a radius of several hundred meters into a world of ice.

In the boundless frost, ice transforms into knives, spears, swords, halberds... endlessly growing and spreading from within the ice layer like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The ice blades are sharp and piercing, and the fierce flashes of swords and the endless Kunai darts cover the entire ice layer, extending high into the sky!

This clearing operation shattered all of Kidomaru and Tayuya's illusions in an instant.

The Doki, whose whereabouts were unknown, was pierced through the heart by a thousand icy swords, its liver and abdomen ripped open, and it died completely. Along with it, the white worm, on which the Sound Ninja had placed their hopes, also disappeared.

Tayuya herself, who was not good at Taijutsu and defensive Ninjutsu, was overwhelmed by this wave of clearing attacks, and was beaten all over. She quickly ran out of energy, exited the Cursed Seal state, and collapsed to the ground.

Only Kidomaru remained on the field, relying on his Sticky Gold Armor to survive this round of elimination.

The opponent's powerful attack had not caused him any harm, which should have made Kidomaru happy.

But he was so desperate.

"The entire earth has turned into ice..." The gold-plated armor fell off Kidomaru's face, revealing his deathly pale complexion. "In other words, the entire area became the medium for your Ice Body Flicker Technique!"

Yes, the significance of the Frost Ice Burial Ninjutsu is no longer just clearing the field, but setting up the field... to pave the way for the next move, Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, which is Ice Release technique!

"That's right, you guessed correctly." Kidomaru's mind was indeed quick, and Sakura confirmed this again, but it was pointless to guess now. "Now you can't destroy the ice mirror anymore, right?"

Kidomaru remained silent and did not respond to her words.

"Can't you think of a way to break this?" Sakura looked at his ashen face and confirmed this. So, for now, this Ninjutsu can be considered flawless.

So...

"The game is over..." she said calmly.

The murderous aura solidified like frost.

"Finally, just a heads-up, this move isn't called Ice Body Flicker Technique..."

Her figure vanished from before Kidomaru.

Its name is Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!

Swish--

Kidomaru's head flew off with a thud.

Somewhere on the border of the Land of Fire.

A sudden change occurred.

"So you really did emerge from the snake pit, Orochimaru...!"

An elderly man with thick bandages wrapped around his head stood high on a stone pillar, looking down at the two men below, and said coldly!

Orochimaru and Kabuto had just left the underground base when they encountered an unexpected person on the only way to travel from the border into the Land of Fire!

"Shimura Danzō..." Orochimaru's eyes instantly turned cold and icy, and his killing intent leaked out uncontrollably.

Having encountered Danzo here, what he understood is self-evident!

"Was Sasuke a trap you deliberately set? No wonder you obtained the information so easily..."

Orochimaru's face was extremely gloomy.

His face was already pale enough, but now it was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water!

"If we don't do this, how can we lure you out of your dark and hidden snake den? Orochimaru, you're too obsessed with the Sharingan and the Uchiha!" Danzo, the bandaged ninja atop the stone pillar and leader of Root, Danzo coldly.

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed dangerously.

The feeling of being fooled hadn't crossed this Kage Level powerhouse's mind in a long time.

Orochimaru had to admit that because he was too eager to get Sasuke, he overlooked some suspicious points and made a mistake.

"So, Sasuke's appearance there was also false information?" Orochimaru's dim, yellowish snake eyes coldly stared at the several Konoha Root ninjas standing above him, like a venomous snake greedily eyeing its prey.

Especially Danzo, who gives Danzo a sinister feeling even when standing in the sunlight!

Enveloped by Orochimaru's boundless killing intent, Danzo remained completely unmoved, as if that fierce aura was nothing more than a gentle breeze before him.

"No, Sasuke is indeed there... Unfortunately, you have absolutely no chance of getting close!"

Danzo's words were filled with unwavering certainty!
