"Ice Release: Ice Tomb!"
With just that one Ice Release ninjutsu, the volcano was frozen!
After Shion felt the bone-piercing chill surrounding her and could not help but shiver, she still could not believe what she was seeing.
A mountain—a erupting volcano—had been instantly frozen into an iceberg. Anyone with common sense knew what that meant.
Shion's eyes were still wide open, her face filled with disbelief.
If she had not been wearing casual clothes and truly felt the cold against her skin, Shion would have thought she had fallen under a genjutsu!

Shion praised him sincerely.
"It's nothing remarkable. I've just practiced more."
Soji remained quite modest.

Although they had partly caused the eruption themselves, Mōryō was still the true culprit.
Soji could be considered to have cleaned up Mōryō's mess.
Even setting that aside, this was an
