Chapter 217 The Winding Ice Dragon
On the Konoha flagship.
"This is……"
Tsunade stared at the sea surface that had been instantly frozen, her face full of curiosity. "Ice Release?"
Hiashi Hyuga immediately activated his Byakugan, peering through layers of flying snow towards the center of the ice field.
"The Hokage is alright! A new, incredibly powerful source of chakra has appeared directly in front of him!"
The combined fleet.
Upon seeing the familiar ice and snow, the surviving Kirigakure ninjas were initially stunned, then burst into immense joy, as if they had survived a catastrophe.
"It's a secret technique of the Snow Clan!"
"It's Lord Yukinojo! Lord Yukinojo has made his move!"
No refunds.
Yukinojo knew very well that if he backed down here, the seed of fear would take root and sprout completely in his heart.
He wants to use his art to fight this fear.
This proves that elegant art is enough to illuminate the heavens!
"hehe...."
Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, Yukinojo took that silence as a sign of contempt.
A sickly flush appeared on his handsome face.
well.
Let me show you my most beautiful work!
Yukinojo's hands moved with a beautiful speed, rapidly forming hand seals in front of his chest.
Hai – Xu – You – Shen – Wei!
"Ice Release Secret Technique: Frost Dragon!"
As he completed his last seal, a cold, low shout echoed through the night sky.
Boom!
The entire ice field beneath his feet suddenly shattered.
Countless enormous blocks of ice shot into the sky.
Under the horrified gaze of everyone.
A ferocious dragon roared as it burst forth from beneath the shattered ice!
The dragon was enormous, almost the size of a warship, and its entire body was a strange, deep black, as if it were formed from the purest cold night and death.
Its scales are black ice crystals that shimmer with a dark light.
Dragon horns are incredibly sharp, icy blades.
What it spewed from its gaping maw was not flames, but a chilling aura powerful enough to freeze the soul.
"roar--!!!!!"
The black ice crystal dragon roared to the sky, a sound unlike anything else, like the deafening roar of a glacier breaking apart.
The sound waves alone caused the surrounding ice to shatter again, sending ice shards flying everywhere.
Yukinojo, dressed in white that was even whiter than snow, with his long hair flowing in the wind, looked like a god of ice and snow descending to earth from mythology, with a sickly intoxication on his face.
"Can you feel it? This coldness, this silence, this beauty of death!"
"This is my art!"
The ninjas from Kumogakure and Kirigakure looked at this icy creation that had crawled out of hell, and a glimmer of hope rose on their faces.
This is... such a terrifying ninjutsu!
Meanwhile, on Konoha's side...
"What is that thing?!"
"Such astonishing chakra... to be able to use Ice Release to this extent."
Fugaku Uchiha's three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly as he analyzed the composition of the black dragon.
Hiashi Hyuga's Byakugan clearly saw that within the black dragon's body flowed a vast and pure chakra, the energy density at its core far exceeding that of ordinary S-rank ninjutsu.
In the center of the battlefield.
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head and looked at the colossal black dragon that blotted out the sky, and at the terrifying chill emanating from it that was enough to freeze one's soul.
Two golden flames finally ignited in those deep eyes.
He flexed his wrist, producing a crisp cracking sound.
Hmm, kind of interesting.
Using ice to create a dragon is indeed more aesthetically pleasing than using water or soil.
"Art?"
"No."
"To me, it's just a slightly larger block of ice."
The moment the words fell.
The black crystal dragon coiled on the ice suddenly lowered its massive head, its two deep blue ice crystal eyes locking onto Hiruzen Sarutobi on the ice.
"roar--!!!!!"
next moment.
With a terrifying roar that could tear the soul apart, the ferocious dragon made of extremely cold black ice, radiating a sinister glow under the moonlight, swooped down toward Hiruzen Sarutobi!
The gaping maw contained an abyss deep enough to freeze everything.
The terrifying power caused the temperature of the entire sea area to plummet again, and even the ninjas far away on the fleet felt a bone-chilling cold.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing at the center of the storm, merely raised his head.
Just moments before the enormous dragon head was about to devour him.
"Bang!"
A dull thud.
He stomped his feet hard on the ice, and the hard ice layer instantly collapsed, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, using the powerful reaction force, transformed into a black cannonball and soared into the sky.
His speed was even faster than that of the swooping ice dragon.
"BOOM—!!!!"
The black ice dragon's gaping maw slammed shut on the spot where Hiruzen Sarutobi had just stood, the terrifying force of its bite crushing the thick ice field into dust, sending up a shower of ice shards and towering waves.
The attack missed its mark.
"You dodged it?!"
On the combined fleet, a Cloud Village ninja cried out in alarm.
"Heh, Hiruzen Sarutobi..."
As Yukinojo watched the figure soar into the sky, a cold smile curved his handsome face.
"Where can you escape to in the air?"
He kept his hands in a hand seal, and his chakra surged forth.
"roar--!!!"
The black ice dragon, having missed its attack, let out an even more ferocious roar. Its massive body, which blotted out the moonlight, twisted in mid-air with a flexibility completely disproportionate to its size.
With a flick of its tail, the dragon's massive body snaked upwards, relentlessly pursuing Hiruzen Sarutobi in mid-air.
The ferocious dragon head opened its massive maw once more, as if to swallow the tiny figure along with the night sky.
On the Konoha fleet, everyone's heart was in their throat.
"teacher!"
Tsunade gripped the railing tightly.
However, what happened next caused everyone present to come to a complete standstill.
In mid-air, facing the ferocious dragon that was chasing after him and determined to devour him, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not dodge or evade.
"Liao Liao—"
He simply adjusted his posture lightly in mid-air with an extremely graceful somersault.
They dodged another fierce attack from the dragon's head.
Followed by.
Under the watchful eyes of countless ninjas.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's figure, like a falling leaf, gently landed on the huge black dragon head.
His feet were firmly planted on the top of the dragon's head.
He grabbed the two enormous dragon horns, made of high-density black ice and gleaming with a chilling light, with his bare hands.
