Unbeknownst to Sasuke, Itachi had already prepared a show specifically for him.
For this scene, Luo Xuan personally reinforced the training ground and added a special barrier.
" Sasuke will be here soon. Naruto, Haku, you can begin!"
"Received!" *2
The two looked at each other, and then, without hesitation, their Chakra surged forth from their bodies.
"Actually, even without this incident, I'd love to spar with you, Brother Bai. I've never had the chance to witness Ice Release, so let me give it a good try today."
Naruto looked at Yuki Haku eyes full of fighting spirit.
After all, in the eyes of many people in the Sea Capital, Yuki Haku is the person most like Minazuki Yuzuru, whether it is his gentle personality, his beautiful appearance, or his signature Ice Release.
With impeccable strength, a perfect personality, and extremely handsome appearance, coupled with being a member of the Yuki Clan, many people now believe that after Mei Terumi retires, the next president will be Yuki Haku.
But in reality, Bai didn't have that many thoughts; he didn't even particularly enjoy fighting.
However, disliking someone doesn't mean they're weak. On the contrary, Bai is very strong, so strong that in the current Sea Capital, there are only a handful of people who can reliably defeat him.
There's no way around it; Ice Release is just that insidious. Low temperatures affect not only cell activity and bodily functions, but also Chakra.
Based on this alone, Haku already has the upper hand against 99% of the ninjas.
The strength of the Yuki Clan is different from that of other clans. Other clans need to consider various Ninjutsu and secret techniques, and even the Uchiha Clan needs to consider the level of Sharingan activation.
However, the Yuki Clan doesn't need to consider so many things. They hardly learn any Ninjutsu. If there's anything they need to learn, it's only one secret technique: the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, because it involves space and has great potential.
Besides that, there's ice control and temperature control.
The greater one's control over ice, the more attack methods one has; the lower the temperature of the ice, the stronger one becomes.
No other family dares to claim the strongest in the face of the Yuki Clan.
There's nothing we can do; low temperatures are just that unreasonable.
" Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto still Shadow Clone Jutsu, but instead of charging in haphazardly like in the original story, he activated all three gates of Naruto's powers. This had no side effects and instead greatly enhanced his combat strength before he began his attack.
Seeing the densely packed Naruto on the field, Haku felt immense pressure for the first time.
"How can there be so many?"
" Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"
" Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
It's not a problem if one person releases Ninjutsu, the problem is that the number is just too outrageous.
After calming down, Bai immediately began to take action.
The surrounding temperature plummeted, and countless ice Senbon appeared out of thin air from various locations, piercing towards these Shadow Clone.
At the same time, several ice mirrors appeared, and Bai stepped directly into one of them.
" Naruto, be careful from now on."
After speaking, the ice mirrors began to move, sealing off the battlefield from eight directions, and layering upwards layer by layer.
Before long, the eight layers of ice mirrors, each with eight sides, totaling sixty-four mirrors, were arranged in an orderly fashion and began to rotate around Naruto.
A bone-chilling cold emanated from the ice mirror, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.
Naruto needs to use Chakra to warm up the air around his body slightly before he can take a breath, otherwise his lungs will not be able to handle it.
"That's terrifying. No wonder Uncle Yuzuru always says how terrifying Ice Release is."
Naruto chuckled helplessly. There was nothing he could do; the damage caused by low temperatures was indeed incurable—it was the fundamental logic of the world.
Even if Haku doesn't reach the freezing temperatures of Yuzuru, the problem is that dealing with the Shinobi World world doesn't require such low temperatures. To put it bluntly, minus 80 or 90 degrees Celsius is terrifying enough.
The human body simply cannot withstand such a low temperature. Those with weaker abilities would likely have their Chakra frozen solid. It's only because Naruto has a large amount of Chakra that he is unaffected for the time being.
"However, I won't give up, Kurama, let's go!"
I just can't do anything with you.
Subsequently, a large amount of Chakra appeared on Naruto, slowly condensing into the golden Nine-Tails. At the same time, Naruto also entered Sage Mode, the perfect Kurama Mode.
"That's amazing!"
Seeing Naruto's current strength, Haku couldn't help but praise him.
With his massive body and surging Chakra, Naruto quickly broke through Haku's ice mirror formation.
Chakra was constantly being frozen in his body, then slowly dissipating into the air, but was quickly replenished.
After Bai emerged from the ice mirror, he looked at the enormous golden Tailed Beast before him and no longer held back. He clapped his hands in front of his chest and began to unleash his full Chakra.
Ice Release: Shield and Sword Ice Guard!
Holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and clad in armor, the ice giant, standing a hundred meters tall, rose from the ground, its eyes glowing red as it looked at the golden Nine-Tails before it.
Bai's face turned somewhat pale. After swallowing a specially made Military Rations Pill, he stood atop the ice man's head and smiled at Naruto, saying, " Naruto, if you defeat it, I will admit defeat."
" Naruto, this guy is tough to deal with. The temperature is too low; if you get too close, your Chakra will freeze."
Yang Release Kurama couldn't help but remind him.
"I know that. Uncle Yuzuru has told me about the horrors of low temperatures more than once."
"However, how will we know if we don't try? Since we can't fight in close combat, we'll wear them down from a distance!"
Naruto wielded a Rasenshuriken in each hand, while at the same time, the Nine-Tails began to condense Tailed Beast Bomb in its mouth.
Three incredibly powerful killing moves were launched simultaneously at the Ice Man.
Faced with these three attacks, Bai dared not be careless at all. The ice sword and ice shield in the Ice Man's hands merged into one, and an even thicker and larger ice shield was held by the Ice Man with both hands, directly withstanding the three attacks.
The explosion of the Tailed Beast Bomb, along with the unparalleled tearing and cutting power of the Rasenshuriken, caused the ice shield to begin to crack after only ten seconds. The cracks then spread rapidly and eventually shattered.
However, the power of the three attacks had been almost completely depleted.
Although it eventually hit the ice man, it didn't cause much damage.
Even so, Bai was still frightened.
"That's really impressive, pure stats, Naruto."
He had already exhausted his Chakra to create an ice man, but Naruto not only easily entered the Kurama Mode, which was a hundred meters tall, but also had the strength to launch this attack at the same time, and he also had a lot of Chakra.
"He's a monster, with so much Chakra."
Bai gave a wry smile, but did not admit defeat. A hundred-meter-long two-handed greatsword appeared in the Ice Man's hand.
"My turn, Naruto!"
As Bai's voice fell, the Ice Man, wielding his sword with both hands, forcefully slashed horizontally at Kurama.
Faced with the ice blades radiating terrifying cold, even Kurama and Naruto dared not take them head-on. After all, if they did, they would probably be cut in half, Kurama Mode would likely have to be deactivated.
"Are all these ice-playing people this outrageous? I can understand Minazuki Yuzuru, but why is this kid like this too? He's almost giving me the same feeling as Madara Uchiha back then."
Kurama couldn't help but complain.
