Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals Battlefield Results

The blizzard caused the temperature to plummet rapidly. Uzumaki Ashina knew the situation was dire and formed hand seals.

"Four Red Yang Formation!"

Four shadow clones deployed a barrier in the surrounding area, blocking the encroachment of the wind and snow.

The temperature finally stabilized, and Tsunade let out a sigh of relief. She knelt before Uzumaki Keimei and formed hand seals.

"Medical Ninjutsu: Mystical Palm Technique!"

As she treated the injured Uzumaki Keimei, he finally regained consciousness under the effects of the Mystical Palm Technique and looked at the three people before him.

Was I saved? But the surroundings are still covered in snow; it seems they entered the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals to rescue me.

"Conserve your chakra. This treatment is enough for me to move now. Minazuki Junhyo will slowly drain us within the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals until our chakra is completely exhausted."

Orochimaru stared at the barrier before them; it was already struggling to hold. Yet, the wind and snow outside showed no signs of weakening—what an enviable Kekkei Genkai.

"We have no choice but to force our way out; staying here is just a slow death. In a moment, I will dispel the barrier. Each of you choose a direction to dash out and shatter the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals from the outside," Uzumaki Ashina said as he hoisted Uzumaki Keimei onto his back.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade gathered chakra in the soles of her feet, braced herself for a sprint, and the barrier vanished.

She took the lead and charged outward, while Minazuki Junhyo appeared in every position as if teleporting.

"Ice Style: Swallow Snowstorm!"

The sky full of snowflakes transformed into flying darts that struck directly at their targets. Tsunade mobilized her chakra to accelerate her physical reflexes while forming hand seals with both hands.

"Chakra Scalpel!"

She brandished the Chakra Scalpel to parry the darts she could not dodge.

However, the moment she parried a dart, Minazuki Junhyo would always appear in her blind spot.

"Ice Style: Dragon-Breaking Fierce Tiger!"

A tiger made of chakra lunged at them, forcing them to either take the hit or retreat.

Tsunade's efforts yielded no results, and she returned to her original position.

Orochimaru had been observing his teammates from the start. This is completely ineffective. If that's the case, I'll use a giant summoning beast to carry us out. He formed hand seals.

"Summoning Technique: Giant Snake!"

A massive snake appeared within the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, and Orochimaru leaped onto its back to charge outward.

Minazuki Junhyo's brow furrowed. You want to play big? I can play big too. He channeled chakra into the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, causing the ice shards to scatter and expand rapidly.

"Ice Style: One-Horned White Whale!"

The blizzard coalesced into a white whale that crashed directly into the giant snake. The Giant Snake let out a pained shriek and hurriedly coiled itself around the whale.

Orochimaru jumped off the summoning beast, ignored the Giant Snake, and continued to charge outward.

I cannot let you escape; stay inside and behave, Minazuki Junhyo thought, flashing between the ice crystals as he formed hand seals.

"Secret Technique: Ice Rock Hall!"

An ice wall appeared in front of Orochimaru. Has it failed again?

"Get out of my way!"

Tsunade gathered chakra behind her.

"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"

She brought her foot down heavily onto the ice wall, shattering it and creating a large hole.

Minazuki Junhyo fell into deep thought. It seems I cannot block them. He formed hand seals with one hand.

"Water Style Secret Technique: Thousand Flying Water Needles!"

A massive amount of ice and snow transformed into senbon, firing at high speed from three hundred and sixty degrees.

Uzumaki Ashina, carrying Uzumaki Keimei, shouted loudly.

"Don't worry about defense! Keep running toward the outside; leave the senbon to me!"

He formed hand seals.

"Sealing Technique: Adamantine Chains!"

Four lashing chains shielded the group, defending against the onslaught of the Thousand Flying Water Needles.

Minazuki Junhyo's furrowed brow suddenly relaxed. Since you are so desperate to leave, then go ahead.

Tsunade looked at the exit, overjoyed, and finally charged out.

Once they rushed out, they were stunned to find the area still covered by the blizzard.

"Orochimaru, you said we walked out, so why are we still in the middle of a blizzard?"

As their body temperatures continued to drop, Orochimaru looked back at Minazuki Junhyo. It seems the only way to leave this freezing place is to defeat Minazuki Junhyo.

Minazuki Junhyo controlled the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals to dance through the air.

"Such beautiful ice crystals—why are you all so insistent on escaping?"

A large chunk of ice crystal flew directly toward Tsunade, who frowned and gathered chakra into her fist to strike it.

"BOOM!"

The Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals exploded instantly.

"Ice Style Secret Technique: Explosive Shattering Ice Crystals!"

Minazuki Junhyo controlled the ice crystals to fly over in rapid succession, and Tsunade was hit squarely by the blast.

Uzumaki Ashina was also struck head-on by the shockwave of the explosion; he gathered chakra at the soles of his feet to withstand the impact, shielding Uzumaki Keimei behind him.

Tsunade was knocked to the ground. In the instant of the explosion, her body reacted instinctively, using chakra to protect herself, yet her internal organs still suffered severe damage. She formed hand seals.

"Summoning: Katsuyu!"

A plump slug appeared beside Tsunade. Sensing her injuries, the slug quickly crawled to her side.

"Katsuyu Healing Technique!"

Using Tsunade's own chakra to heal her, the slug began its work, and Tsunade hurriedly stood up.

"Damn it," she cursed, having been ambushed by the opponent. Since they were already outside, the opponent's movement speed shouldn't be that fast anymore.

"Strength of a Hundred!" She gathered chakra in her thighs and exerted sudden force, her body surging forward rapidly.

Minazuki Junhyo did not expect the opponent to be so fast, but he formed a seal with one hand.

"Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!"

The ice crystals scattered everywhere by the explosion became mobile targets.

Orochimaru knew this was his chance to strike and formed hand seals.

"Many Serpent Formation!"

Countless snakes emerged to attack the scattered ice crystals.

A large number of ice crystals were destroyed by the snakes. Minazuki Junhyo looked at Tsunade, who was in the center, clenched his hands, and caused countless ice crystals to converge on her before forming a seal with one hand.

"Ice Style Secret Technique: Explosive Shattering Ice Crystals!"

"BOOM!" This explosion was several times larger than the last. Tsunade, standing in the center, was hit dead on.

Thick smoke rose from the scene of the explosion. Minazuki Junhyo looked toward the remaining three; in his eyes, Tsunade, having been hit directly, was already finished.

Tsunade endured the explosion. Grandmother Mito, thank you for your teachings; otherwise, I might never see you again. She formed hand seals.

"Yin Seal, Release!"

The chakra accumulated in the Yin Seal on her forehead was unleashed, and she performed the Creation Rebirth.

All the injuries on Tsunade's body were restored, and she took advantage of the lingering smoke to charge forward.

"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"

She struck Minazuki Junhyo directly, but the target shattered inch by inch.

"Ice Substitution!"

Minazuki Junhyo flashed to a distant location, while the immense power of Tsunade's Heavenly Foot of Pain struck the earth instead.

"BOOM!"

The ground cracked like a spiderweb as she glared at the enemy in the distance.

"Damn it," she muttered, having failed to seize such a good opportunity.

Minazuki Junhyo was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Kusanagi Sword: Sky Blade!"

Orochimaru controlled the Kusanagi Sword to pierce directly through his back.

Minazuki Junhyo looked down to see the blade protruding from his stomach.

"How could this be? It seems I have lost."

While setting up the Many Serpent Formation, Orochimaru had been slowly clearing away the ice crystals surrounding the opponent, leaving only the one closest to him, where the Kusanagi Sword had been lying in ambush.
