Even a three-year-old knew that water conducted electricity. If he foolishly used only Water Release, the Raikage would probably electrocute him into a roast pig and short-circuit his brain.
In an environment that conducted electricity like this, Lightning Release would be at least twice as powerful.
On the surface, the Raikage was making a concession. In reality, the old fox was busily calculating his gains, getting a huge advantage while acting generous.
Gekkō Raito chuckled inwardly. This big fellow looked crude, but his brain worked pretty well.
He could not be bothered to expose him either. With a push of his toes, he landed lightly on the lake.
The instant his feet touched the water, a bone-piercing chill erupted!
The formerly sparkling lake began turning white and solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Cracking sounds rang out one after another as the water froze, and white, frigid vapor spread wildly like a tsunami.
In the blink of an eye, the vast lake had become one enormous skating rink.
Kyuji and Ameyuri, who followed behind him, remained perfectly calm. They had seen plenty of scenes like this, after all, and felt nothing stirring inside.
But the Cloud Ninja beside them nearly popped their eyes out, their jaws dropping all over the place.
"Holy shit? The whole lake froze in an instant?"
"Is that something a fucking human can do? That's insane!"
"Could this be that Kirigakure Mizukage's special ability?"
"No shit, it's obviously a kekkei genkai-the legendary Yuki Clan's Ice Release!"
Listening to the Cloud Ninja exclaim like they had never seen the world, Kyuji snorted disdainfully, his nose practically pointing at the sky.
These country bumpkins really made a fuss over nothing. Lord Gekkō Raito had plenty more tricks up his sleeve. This was barely the beginning!
