"Haku, you saw it clearly too, didn't you? If this keeps up, you'll be the one who loses your life," Zabuza said.
"Yes. What a pity," Haku said calmly, a chilling aura instantly emanating from him.
"What got cold?" Naruto asked blankly.
"Careful, that's the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai!" Kushina warned.
As soon as she spoke—
The water around Naruto and Sasuke instantly froze and rose into walls of ice.
Then, sheets of ice mirrors formed around them.
"Secret Technique: Crystal Ice Mirrors!"
"Ice Release Kekkei Genkai?" Sakura cried out in surprise.
"It's actually a Kekkei Genkai!" The spectators also exclaimed.
"You recognized the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai. But I'm surprised you didn't rush in to help them," Zabuza said as he looked at Kushina.
"Your subordinate is quite capable. He's just the right whetstone for Naruto and the others," Kushina said calmly.
"A whetstone? You Konoha ninja are as arrogant as ever," Zabuza said angrily.
"Thanks for the compliment," Kushina said.
"I wasn't complimenting you!" Zabuza snapped.
"I know you're jealous, but don't be jealous yet. It won't be too late after they decide the winner," Kushina said, waving a hand.
"You!" Zabuza was so furious he could not find the words, but he was also helpless. He could only shut his mouth.
Then Haku stepped into the Crystal Ice Mirrors.
In an instant, every ice mirror was filled with his face.
"Wow, so this is Ice Release? It's amazing—and so beautiful."
"I want to awaken a Kekkei Genkai too," everyone said enviously.
"Then I'll begin," Haku said in the movie.
The next moment, "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." Countless dense afterimages instantly left countless wounds on Naruto and Sasuke.
"Ahhh!" The two cried out in pain together.
"So fast!" Everyone outside was stunned.
"Is Ice Release really that powerful?"
