Meanwhile, Mumei Senju's legion engaged in a fierce battle with Minazuki Teru's 60,000-strong army on the western battlefield. Minazuki Teru, a powerful member of the Minazuki Family and the First Mizukage, possessed the Kekkei Genkai to control Ice Release. He stood on an ice throne, overlooking the battlefield, his eyes filled with arrogance.
" Konoha ninjas, you will be utterly powerless against my Ice Release," Minazuki Teru arrogantly declared.
Mumei Senju, wielding a long sword, charged into the enemy ranks first. Natsuki Gekko and Kenzan Uzuki followed closely behind, engaging the Land of Water ninjas in close combat with their swordsmanship. Nanrei Inuzuka summoned his Ninja Dog and, together with Hikaru Aoki, attacked the enemy from the flanks.
Minazuki Teru sneered, Hand Seals. Instantly, countless ice spikes appeared on the battlefield, shooting towards Mumei Senju's army. Mumei Senju hurriedly used an S-rank Earth Release technique, creating a gigantic rock and earth giant hundreds of meters tall to block the ice spikes' attack and charge towards the Mizukage.
"Hmph, you've got some skill." A hint of surprise flashed in Minazuki Teru's eyes, but he quickly regained his arrogance. He once again unleashed the powerful S-rank Ice Release, Freezing Domain, turning the entire battlefield into a frozen wasteland.
The 500- Mumei Senju were particularly vulnerable in the icy wilderness, as this type of slowing and freezing damage was the most effective against the Senju Clan. If it weren't for their strong physiques and Earth Release is a type of defensive technique), they would have suffered heavy losses long ago.
The 40,000-strong ninja army of Konoha was in dire straits, constantly being hit by the Ice Release of the Yuki Clan. Fortunately, the main attacks were blocked by the Senju Clan members at the forefront, but they still suffered considerable casualties.
Mumei Senju charged ahead like a war god descending to earth. He wore a strange suit of armor, seemingly an extension of himself, said to be a treasured armor passed down from the Ninshu era. The armor's peculiarity lay in its ability to grant its wearer power, and, according to Mumei Senju's will, extend illusory yet powerful arms to aid him in battle. At this moment, Mumei Senju gripped a massive iron hammer, its dark surface covered in ancient runes, each rune seemingly containing earth-shattering power.
Mumei Senju Spirit chanted incantations and unleashed the Super Strength Technique. The power of the Super Strength Technique surged into his body, causing his muscles to bulge, and veins to writhe beneath his skin like small snakes. He swung his massive iron hammer, each swing accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that seemed to tear space apart. With each attack, the surrounding earth trembled violently, like an earthquake, causing mountains to crumble and the ground to split.
Even more awe-inspiring was the rock giant summoned by Mumei Senju. This giant was made of solid rock, each rock the size of a house. Its eyes gleamed with an orange light, a symbol of the power of the earth. The rock giant strode with heavy steps, each step causing the earth to tremble. It swung its massive rock arms, smashing them down on its enemies. Wherever it went, the ninjas of the Land of Water scattered in fear, and those struck were instantly pulverized.
However, the appearance of Minazuki Teru instantly changed the situation on the battlefield. Minazuki Teru, the First Mizukage of the Land of Water, exuded a cold aura, as if he were Death God emerging from an ice cellar. Wherever he went, the ground quickly froze into a thick layer of ice, and even the water vapor in the air was frozen into tiny ice crystals, shimmering coldly in the sunlight.
Minazuki Teru swiftly Hand Seals, and in Setsuna, a massive Freezing Domain rapidly expanded from him. Within this domain, the temperature plummeted, and everything froze. The Konoha ninjas felt a bone-chilling cold wash over them, their limbs instantly stiffening and their movements becoming sluggish. Then, a colossal ice crystal dragon soared from the Freezing Domain. This dragon was composed entirely of ice crystals, its body translucent and radiating a ghostly blue light. Every scale was as sharp as a knife, and as the dragon flew, the surrounding air was cleaved into countless fragments.
The ice crystal dragon roared as it pounced on the rock giant, spewing out streams of frigid breath that instantly covered the giant's body in ice. The rock giant swung its arms, trying to defend itself, but its movements were slowed and clumsy by the extreme cold. The ice crystal dragon seized its opportunity, slashing down with its massive claws. Instantly, deep cracks appeared on the rock giant's body, sending countless rock fragments flying.
At the same time, Minazuki Teru, wielding a sharp ice sword, charged towards Mumei Senju. His figure moved across the battlefield like a ghost, leaving a faint ice trail with each movement. Seeing this, Mumei Senju's eyes flashed with determination. He swung his massive iron hammer to meet Minazuki Teru. The two attacks collided fiercely in mid-air, producing a series of deafening roars. Each collision generated a powerful impact, causing deep cracks to appear in the surrounding ground and dust to fly everywhere.
Mumei Senju, relying on his Super Strength Technique and the power of his giant iron hammer, attempted to repel Minazuki Teru. His attacks were like a storm, wave after wave, without pause. However, Minazuki Teru skillfully dodged Mumei Senju's attacks, utilizing the advantage of his Freezing Domain and agile movements. His ice sword gleamed coldly in the sunlight, each thrust carrying a deadly threat.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Minazuki Teru unleashed his Hydrification Technique. His body gradually became transparent, transforming into a pool of Shimizu. Mumei Senju's physical attacks struck him as if hitting thin air, having no effect whatsoever. Taking advantage of Mumei Senju's momentary surprise, Minazuki Teru swiftly solidified his body, his ice sword aimed straight for Mumei Senju's throat. Mumei Senju reacted quickly, dodging to the side, the ice sword grazing his armor with a sharp scraping sound.
Mumei Senju realized that it would be difficult to defeat Minazuki Teru at this rate, as the opponent was immune to physical damage. He made a snap decision, suddenly abandoning his attack on Minazuki Teru and turning to charge towards the rear of the Land of Water's army. His speed was incredible, like a black lightning bolt, instantly breaking through the Land of Water's ninja defenses. Minazuki Teru, whose attacks were area-of-effect, couldn't possibly follow him into the Land of Water's army and unleash his ultimate attack within his own ranks.
Mumei Senju charged into the enemy's rear like a tiger among sheep, unleashing a frenzied slaughter. His massive iron hammer swung with terrifying force, each strike claiming several lives. The soldiers of the Land of Water swarmed around him, attempting to halt his advance. But against Mumei Senju's overwhelming power, their resistance proved utterly futile. Power emanated from Mumei Senju's armor, extending numerous arms that either gripped enemies or wielded weapons. In an instant, chaos reigned behind the Land of Water's army, filled with screams of agony.
Meanwhile, Minazuki Teru began his frenzied slaughter of the Konoha army. His Freezing Domain expanded continuously, enveloping more and more Konoha Ninja. Those ninjas caught in the Freezing Domain were quickly encased in ice, only their terrified eyes visible. Minazuki Teru moved freely through the Konoha army, blood splattering with every swing of his ice sword. The Konoha ninja tried to resist with their techniques, but they were utterly powerless against Minazuki Teru's overwhelming freezing power.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, 500 Senju Clan soldiers, determined to save 40,000 ninja, resolutely charged towards Minazuki Teru. These Senju Clan ninja were all seasoned veterans; they knew Minazuki Teru's strength all too well, but to protect their comrades, they did not flinch. They formed a battle formation and launched their assault on Minazuki Teru.
Minazuki Teru looked at the charging Senju Clan army without a trace of fear in his eyes. He snorted coldly and unleashed his Freezing Domain once more. The Senju Clan ninjas struggled to move forward within the Freezing Domain, their bodies gradually being covered by ice, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered. Some ninjas tried to break through the Freezing Domain with their Ninjutsu, but their Ninjutsu vanished without a trace before Minazuki Teru.
In the fierce battle, the Senju Clan army suffered heavy casualties. However, they did not give up, continuing their relentless charge towards Minazuki Teru. Enraged by the Senju Clan army's tenacity, Minazuki Teru unleashed an even more powerful technique. He formed hand Hand Seals, and countless enormous ice blocks suddenly appeared in the sky, crashing down on the Senju Clan army like meteors. The Senju Clan ninjas scrambled to avoid the attacks, but many were still struck and frozen, dying instantly.
Mumei Senju was fighting fiercely among the Land of Water's Land of Water, single-handedly repelling them. As dusk settled, the setting sun shone upon him, revealing his body stained with the blood of his enemies. However, as the battle continued, his strength gradually waned. His movements became sluggish, and the power in his armor diminished. Seeing this, the Land of Water's soldiers swarmed around him, launching an even more ferocious attack.
Mumei Senju knew he was at his limit, but he didn't give up. He continued to swing his massive iron hammer, attacking the enemy. His eyes were filled with determination and unyielding spirit, as if he were releasing his last ounce of strength. Finally, after killing nearly 20,000 enemy soldiers, Mumei Senju collapsed, exhausted, on the beach. His body slowly fell, kicking up a cloud of dust. His eyes remained fixed on the sky, as if telling of his unyielding spirit. The Land of Water looked at this madman with a mixture of awe and fear. How could a human be so powerful? In the end, they swarmed forward and dismembered Mumei Senju's body.
