Hearing the noise behind him, Nawaki turned to look, but white mist blocked his view. He shouted, "Haku! What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?"
The moment Nawaki finished speaking, the white mist from the ice dragon froze him solid. The white dragon did not stop. It unleashed a Dragon Tail Sweep, slamming its tail into the ice encasing Nawaki!
Bang!
With a deafening crash, the ice and Nawaki inside it shattered into countless pieces.
Under Haku's control, the ice dragon hovered over the Training Ground, looking down at the field below!
Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji all swallowed hard.
Thankfully, Haku had held back earlier. Otherwise, they would have been scattered chunks of corpses... no! Chunks of ice!
"Haku! That's enough! Stop!" Hatake Ziyan rubbed his nose as he surveyed the scene and called out to Haku.
Hatake Ziyan knew Nawaki had not meant any harm by what he said. He simply thought that way!
As for why Hatake Ziyan had not intervened sooner, he wanted everyone present to see that Haku was stronger than his earlier performance suggested. He had only held back because he did not want to hurt Shikamaru and the others!
Hearing Hatake Ziyan, Haku obediently released his ninjutsu. The ice dragon lost its lifelike presence and broke into chunks of ice that fell from the sky!
The shattered pieces of Nawaki on the ground turned into blocks of wood!
Seeing that Hatake Ziyan had spoken up, Nawaki emerged from the surrounding wall!
"Haku, you..."
"Nawaki, shut your mouth!" Seeing Nawaki still trying to provoke Haku, Hatake Ziyan shouted with a dark expression!
You idiot! If you can't say anything sensible, can't you just shut up? Can't even a beating teach you a lesson?
Hearing Hatake Ziyan's words, Nawaki immediately shut up!
Then
