Ice Release Technique
"You brats from the Yuki family, it seems you and the idiots from the Kaguya family are really tired of living. Do you think Kirigakure is a place anyone can come to?"
Although only six Seven Man Group Ninja Swordsmen remain, they still enjoy great authority among the Jonin. Apart from the Mizukage and other upper-level leaders in the village, they are the highest-ranking group present. Suikazan Fuguki is the most outstanding leader among the Seven Man Group.
Therefore, Suikazan Fuguki became the brain and mouthpiece of the Mist Ninja present.
"You fatso, you talk too much nonsense. What I do is none of your business." Yuki calling her "old lady," her fierce aura making the group of men feel ashamed.
Suikazan Fuguki's eyes twitched. Damn it, calling him a fat pig this and a fatso that is simply too much!
"Kill them. Those who dare to offend Kirigakure don't need to be taken alive."
The menacing command spread to all the Mist Ninja present, reaching their ears in just a few seconds. The Mist Ninja, as if injected with adrenaline, Jonin menacingly towards the Jonin of the Kaguya and Yuki families.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Exploding Blade Shibuki spun like wheels, shattering everything they touched. A series of uninterrupted explosions flattened the ever-growing ice pillars. Munashi Jinpachi set his sights on Yuki Hatsuzuki and charged forward like a bulldozer.
"Is a broken knife that can explode really that impressive?"
Yuki Hatsuzuki spat, his left hand Hand Seals, his right hand outstretched, palm facing the charging Munashi Jinpachi, and a change occurred instantly.
"Ice Release, Lance".
A cold, icy blue light bloomed in his palm, and ice spears, each as thick as a teacup, shot out, instantly traversing the extremely short distance to reach Munashi Jinpachi. The attack range of the eighteen ice spears covered everything from head to toe, their incredible speed and the strong wind pressure making it feel like he would be stabbed to pieces at any moment.
"Bomb it for me!!!"
Munashi Jinpachi was also a ruthless person. His Exploding Blade Shibuki slammed heavily into the ground in front of him. The violent explosion was like the detonation of high explosives. A bright flame shot into the sky, and the ice spears were pushed off course by the shock wave. They melted away in the boiling flames and evaporated into water vapor.
"Tch, just as disgusting as a cockroach!" Yuki Hatsuzuki curled her lip in disgust.
Amidst the fireworks, Munashi Jinpachi leaned on the Exploding Blade Shibuki. His clothes were tattered, making him look like a wild man. His exposed skin was covered in large burns. In order to block the attack of Ice Release: Lance, he had gone all out. Damn it, he charged too far forward, leaving no time to react. He could only defend himself in this almost self-destructive way.
Near the main gate of Kirigakure, a fierce battle broke out, with the Mist Ninja and the Yuki and Kaguya families engaging in a deadly fight.
However, it wasn't long before the Mist Ninja showed signs of weakness. This time, in order to support Katsuki, both Yuki and Kaguya had mobilized their entire Jonin of Jonin, managing to gather just over seventy Jonin.
Although this number is nothing to the vast Kirigakure, generally speaking, ninjas with Kekkei Genkai are half a level stronger than ordinary ninjas of the same rank. A strong Chunin, once they activate their Kekkei Genkai, can withstand an ordinary Jonin. Otherwise, what gives the Yuki and Kaguya clans the confidence to challenge the Hidden Mist Ninja Village?
There were quite a few Mist Ninja present, but their Jonin -level combat strength was rather limited. And don't forget about Katsuki's Shadow Clone. They spared no effort in unleashing large-scale offensive Ninjutsu with Chakra, slamming it down on the heads of the Mist Ninja to cry out in agony.
"Hurry up and leave. Don't linger in the fight. Be careful of the Mist Ninja's reinforcements."
The Shadow Clone mingled with the Jonin of the Yuki and Kaguya clans, escorting their clansmen out of the village.
"Stop them... no, let them go."
······
The Mist Ninja were stunned, looking at Suikazan Fuguki with bewilderment. Had he lost his mind in anger? Why had he let him go?
"Let them go, it'll be easier to make a move once they're far away. Summon the Jonin pursue them. We can't operate freely in the village, and some of our powerful Ninjutsu are inconvenient to use." Suikazan Fuguki suppressed his anger and explained to the group of Jonin.
Being in Kirigakure, even with the home advantage, also brings many concerns. Some incredibly destructive Ninjutsu are inconvenient to use. For example, Jinchuriki wouldn't dare release their Tailed Beast in this situation, otherwise, not only would they fail to defeat the enemy, but they would also definitely make a mess of their own territory.
Looking around, the area near the village entrance had long since been reduced to ruins. If the fighting continued here, the flames of war would spread deeper into the village, and the Mist Ninja might just follow in the footsteps of the Sunagakure.
The group of Mist Ninja hesitated to act, and unconsciously came to agree with Suikazan Fuguki's reasoning.
This brief moment of hesitation was not missed. Yuki Hatsuzuki and the clansmen built two high ice walls, separating the Mist Ninja on both sides. The group then quickly rushed out of the village gate through the middle of the ice walls.
"Chief Yuki, you take my people and go first. We'll stay behind to cover your retreat."
More than fifty Shadow Clone split out and blocked the village gate.
Yuki Hatsuzuki was no fussy little girl; she waved decisively at Katsuki and led the Jonin, along with the Uzumaki Clan members, away in a whoosh, proceeding according to the plan they had set out for.
"Alright, it's our turn to get started."
As the Mist Ninja swarmed out, Katsuki's Shadow Clone formed a long defensive line, draining ninety percent of their Chakra and transforming it into dazzling lightning in their hands.
Raise your hand high! Then swing it down!
"Electric Execution, the Great Prison."
Thunderbolts pounded the earth like a torrential downpour, and the silvery-white lightning formed a magnificent and dazzling high wall, like an insurmountable prison cell, blocking the Mist Ninja's pursuit route. The huge thunder shook the air and stirred up gusts of fierce wind.
However, the thunderstorm came and went quickly. In just three seconds, the lightning began to dissipate, leaving behind only a series of huge craters and thick smoke rising into the sky. As Katsuki Chakra's Shadow Clone were exhausted, they also gradually turned into white smoke and disappeared.
"Chase! All Jonin, follow me!" Suikazan Fuguki brandished Samehada, but Ringo Ameyuri. It has to be said, the speed of the Lightning Release: Body Flicker Technique is truly fast.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a silvery-white bolt of lightning struck the ground outside the village. Ringo Ameyuri quickly stopped in her tracks, preventing herself from crashing into the area hit by the lightning.
"Um... No passage ahead."
Standing atop the Thunderclap Chariot, Katsuki blocked the group of Mist Ninja.
