unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Kitazawa is truly beyond compare,\" Sanzaemon murmured in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Break through!\" Fubuki shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smashed through Haku's ice wall with brute force and rocketed toward him using her armor's flight system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ino stepped into her path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fubuki's vision blurred as massive roots wrapped around her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reacted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Genjutsu: Release!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Special Jonin, she shattered the illusion in less than a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when her vision cleared—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice mirrors surrounded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each reflected a figure of Haku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fubuki scanned the mirrors, unable to identify the real one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leapt upward, trying to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the mirror to her left, senbon flew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dodged, accelerated, and smashed into the mirror—Only for Haku's image to vanish, the mirror remaining intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Haku appeared behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More senbon flew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing she was being worn down, Fubuki formed seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Release: Swallow Blowing-Snow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dense ice spikes erupted, stabbing into a mirror ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mirror shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fubuki's eyes lit up as she rushed toward the opening—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to be struck by an invisible shockwave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Ino's Mind Butterfly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been waiting for this exact moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haku seized the opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senbon flew from both hands, piercing Fubuki's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes cleared for a brief instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she collapsed, lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like we make a pretty good team,\" Ino said, clapping with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haku stepped out from the mirrors and nodded quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned toward the final Snow ninja—Wolf Fang Avalanche.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the raging winds died down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black dragons vanished in a violent collision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panting, Doto realized the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two subordinates were dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third was moments from defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the man before him—Kitazawa—was a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Copying even one Black Dragon Blizzard Kill had pushed him to his limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing meant certain death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Release: Twin Dragon Blizzard Kill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning his remaining strength, Doto unleashed the technique once more—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then turned and fled without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left hand: Yang Release: Rasengan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right hand: Yin Release: Rasengan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merged them and hurled the fusion forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Midair, Yin and Yang united into a massive, two-meter sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiji Rasengan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sliced through the twin dragon tornadoes effortlessly and pursued Doto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doto felt death looming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed both palms against his chakra armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chakra surged violently—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Taiji Rasengan engulfed him, shattered the armor, and detonated against the snowfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow erupted skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive crater scarred the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Dead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koyuki whispered, staring blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one could survive that,\" Sanzaemon said, cold sweat running down his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had once watched Doto murder his brother and seize the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That despair felt like a lifetime ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of you… will die with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nadare roared in desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cornered by Ino, Haku, and Kiba—and witnessing Doto's death—he abandoned all hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Release: Wolf Fang Avalanche Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed his palm into the ground, pouring every last shred of chakra into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too late!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haku instantly controlled ice shards to strike—But the technique had already activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth shook violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby snow mountains collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanzaemon and Koyuki turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tidal wave of snow thundered toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Wood Dragon surged upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, get on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa grabbed Sanzaemon and Koyuki and leapt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ino, Haku, and Kiba scrambled aboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The avalanche crashed down—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Wood Dragon glided through it like a fish through water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them stared in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was power beyond imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>------------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AN: Check out my P@treon For +40 extra chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank You For your
