Chen Yiban and Uchiha Madara opened their blood-red Sharingan,
and with the slight x-ray vision granted by their powerful insight, they saw what was happening inside the Kumogakure shinobi named "Shi," who had just fallen.
They learned that the instant he entered within thirty meters of Izuna,
the blood in his body had almost completely frozen!
As a result, he had died on the spot!

"A Mangekyō Sharingan Technique that freezes blood? What a terrifying clan!" Terumi Mei exclaimed.
"Everyone, be careful. Remember, his technique's range should be thirty meters!" Ōnoki warned them again.

He did not want to meet that guy again under these circumstances!
He did not want to face him as an enemy on the battlefield again!
"That's right!" Hearing Gaara, Ōnoki nodded in agreement.
"Everyone, keep your distance
