The flood of memories confirmed it: after luring Yukikaze out of that port city like a fish on a hook, binding his soul with the unbreakable Heart-Sealing Soul-Locking Contract, and forcing the Yuki jōnin to demonstrate Wind-and-Water fusion at glacial speed under the Byakugan's unblinking gaze, he had done it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His proficiency panel lit up like a festival lantern:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Release Kekkei Genkai: (1\u002F1000) [Beginner]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect,\" Seimei muttered, stretching. \"No need for months of (1\u002F100) grinding like with Lava. Having a living reference makes everything so much cleaner. Now, just one little test before I head back to Food Street for my post-mission feast. The Nine-Tails won't know what hit it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yukikaze sat a few meters away, still restrained, eyes dull with exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei raised both hands. \"Ice Release: Absolute Dominion Fortress!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chakra surged. A breathtaking palace of crystalline spires erupted from the ground—towering walls, defensive battlements, even a throne room. It was majestic. Impregnable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For exactly twenty-three seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, as Seimei himself had admitted countless times during Lava training, once the fusion was mastered, shape transformation and structural integrity were \"minor details he couldn't be bothered with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fortress groaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it collapsed in a roaring avalanche of razor-sharp icicles and freezing torrents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei, standing proudly at the exact center like a victorious emperor, didn't even have time to Body Flicker. A thirty-meter icicle the width of his torso speared straight through his chest, pinning him to the stone platform like a bug on a collector's board. His Lava-tempered cells tried to fight back, melting the ice into superheated steam—which only triggered secondary explosions of obsidian shrapnel and boiling blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at the frozen spike protruding from his ribcage, blood bubbling from his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His last coherent thought, as his vision tunneled: …Wait. This wasn't… in the plan…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The proficiency panel flickered one final time in his fading mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Release: (1\u002F1000) → Fatal Error: Host Deceased\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Bloodline Progress Lost. Nice try, genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yukikaze felt the soul contract's grip dissolve the instant Seimei's heart stopped. He stood slowly, brushed ice shards (and a few chunks of Uchiha lung) off his shoulder, and stared at the bloody, half-frozen corpse half-buried under the ruins of its creator's \"perfect\" fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he started laughing. Hard. Doubled over, tears freezing on his cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You spent weeks luring me out here, set up flawless seals, calculated every chakra deficit, planned for the Nine-Tails like a god… and you die because you built a shitty sandcastle out of ice you couldn't be bothered to shape properly? The great Seimei Uchiha, reduced to this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wiped his eyes, still chuckling darkly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guess the ultimate lure… was on yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yukikaze turned and walked toward the ocean, stretching like a man finally free after a long, stupid vacation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhere far away, a random Mist ANBU would later file a report: \"Yukikaze returned. Claims he was 'training alone.'
