Chapter 216 Snowflakes Falling Everywhere
Chapter 216 Snowflakes Falling Everywhere
Meanwhile, the combined fleet was plunged into great chaos and panic.
On the Konoha fleet's side, however, the scene was completely different.
When the Misty Warship was sunk with a single blow in front of everyone, after a brief silence, a frenzied cheer erupted like a tsunami!
"Ooo ...
"Hokage-sama!!!"
Kenta Chunin gripped the ship's railing tightly, trembling with excitement, his eyes red-rimmed.
He looked at the figure standing at the bow of the boat, calmly putting the long staff back beside him, and felt that the figure's back became incredibly tall and majestic at that moment.
"This is... our Hokage..."
Standing on the police ship, Fugaku Uchiha looked at the ravaged sea in the distance and felt the fervent emotions emanating from his clansmen. He clenched his fists, his chest filled with unprecedented pride.
Hiashi Hyuga sighed silently, his Byakugan clearly capturing the chaos and collapse in the enemy fleet's formation.
"So...so handsome!"
Tsunade slammed her fist on the railing, her face flushed with excitement.
Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored the cheers behind him.
He simply looked calmly down at the enemy fleet ahead, which was in complete chaos, and at the huge gap exposed by the sinking of the flagship.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
Yamanaka Taichi stared blankly at his old friend beside him, almost swallowing the saliva in his mouth. He repeated it dryly, as if to confirm whether he had seen it wrong.
"They knocked Shuiying, along with his boat... into the sea?"
That's a Kage! The supreme leader of a great ninja village!
Just like that... he was hit with a stick, like a baseball, and the boat and the person were cleanly and neatly knocked into the sea?
What level of strength has the Hokage reached now?
Akimichi Torifu simply nodded blankly, the kebab in his hand falling onto the deck with a thud, but he didn't even notice.
"As expected of Hiruzen..."
At the bow of the ship, Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored the thunderous cheers behind him.
He simply and calmly reinserted the black rod into the deck beside him.
His senses clearly told him that although the Third Mizukage, who had been thrown into the sea, was in a state of extreme disarray, he was still alive.
Its vitality is truly remarkable.
That makes sense, though. He's a Shadow after all. It would be disappointing if he died so easily.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a step forward, his figure disappearing from the bow of the flagship like a ghost, repeatedly using the Leaf Instantaneous Movement technique.
Then, it appeared on the turbulent sea.
He walked slowly and steadily across the water toward the whirlpool formed by the sunken ship in the distance.
However, just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to approach the center of that vortex.
A sudden chill, without warning, seeped out from the seawater beneath his feet.
Click.
A crisp, subtle condensation sound.
Centered on Hiruzen Sarutobi's landing point, a ring of white frost rapidly spread across the sea.
The ice layer spread at an astonishing speed.
Click! Click, click!
It only took two or three breaths.
The sea area centered on him, with a radius of over 100 meters, where the seawater was originally churning and roaring, was completely frozen.
A vast, boundless ice field, shimmering with a crystalline luster under the moonlight, appeared out of nowhere in front of the battlefield.
Followed by.
Snowflakes began to drift down from the sky.
Cold and white.
This bloody battlefield, which had just been filled with flames and explosions, was transformed into a fairytale world.
"Oh? Ice Release?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped in his tracks with great interest, feeling the sudden drop in temperature in the air, gazing at the breathtaking scenery under the moonlight, and murmured to himself.
This is much prettier than that water reflection from before.
The combined fleet was also briefly thrown into turmoil by this sudden change.
On the flagship of the Cloud Shadow.
The Third Raikage, Ai, looked at the sea that had frozen in an instant, and for the first time, a hint of solemnity appeared on his bronze face.
"Ice Release...is from the Yuki clan of Kirigakure."
"The bloodline limit of Kirigakure".
His strategist, Toshiro, said in a deep voice.
On the other side, on the sea surface of the Mist Shadow Fleet, a figure was swiftly walking on the water.
Kaguya Soranosuke licked her lips, her expression becoming slightly more serious.
"That Yukinojo guy..."
Right under everyone's watchful eyes.
At the edge of that pristine white ice field, a figure slowly emerged from a fog-shrouded warship frozen on the sea.
He was dressed in an immaculate white hunting robe, and his light blue hair fluttered gently in the night breeze.
His face was so handsome it was almost unreal, his emerald eyes were as clear as ice crystals, and his whole being exuded a noble and elegant aura that was completely out of place in this bloody battlefield.
It was Yukinojo, the patriarch of the Yuki clan.
He stepped onto the solid ice and slowly walked towards the center of the ice field, towards the lone black figure standing there.
Finally, they stopped fifty meters away from Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Heh, the Hokage of Konoha... I'm really looking forward to it..."
Yukinojo smiled, his voice gentle and pleasant, as if he were not facing a terrifying enemy who had just sunk his flagship with a single blow, but rather admiring a favorite work of art.
However, a bead of cold sweat on his forehead betrayed the turmoil in his heart.
tension.
No, it's fear.
Only when he is truly alone and faces this man directly can he truly feel the terrifying power that is like a silent volcano.
That wasn't murderous intent, nor was it the oppressive force of chakra.
Rather, it is a purer kind of power, so powerful that simply existing there is enough to make heaven and earth pale in comparison.
