Chapter 129

He slowly raised one hand, aiming it at the Six-Tails before him.

Ice Style: Heavenly Phenomenon Descent, Third Stage—Eternal Sin Domain!

In an instant, the goose-feather snow in the sky seemed to be activated, drifting incessantly through the air.

Under the gusts of cold wind, a six-pointed star ice formation, even larger than the Six-Tails itself, appeared beneath its massive body!

Endless cold light surged into the sky from the six-pointed star.

In a flash, the Six-Tails, which had been in a state of fury and releasing a Tailed Beast Bomb, was frozen solid into an ice sculpture right where it stood.

The colossal beast lost all movement in an instant; everything came to an abrupt halt.

It was also at this moment that the goose-feather snow, which had been scattering across the sky, finally ceased.

The clouds dispersed, revealing the sun in the sky.

Bathed in the sunlight, Mizunuki Ryosuke paid no heed to the Six-Tails frozen into an ice sculpture behind him.

Nor was he in the slightest bit worried that this move would kill the Six-Tails.

The original work mentioned that the essence of a Tailed Beast is the Ten-Tails' chakra, and chakra cannot be killed.

Therefore, Tailed Beasts can only be sealed.

The only way to "kill" a Tailed Beast is for it to return to the Ten-Tails.

The "frozen" state could also be considered a form of sealing.

Leaving the Six-Tails ice sculpture where it was, Mizunuki Ryosuke turned and walked toward the other side of the Lake of Mist.

Meanwhile, with the intervention of Hozuki Mangetsu, the battle of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen had also come to a complete end.

The wielder of the Great Sword Samehada, Suikazan Fuguki, and the wielder of the Longsword Nuibari, Kurisare Kushimaru, were killed in action.

The wielder of the short sword Kubikiribocho, Biwa Juzo, fled.

The wielder of the Twin Swords Hiramekarei and the wielder of the Lightning Blade Kiba, Kurosuki Raiga, were heavily wounded.

Although victory was achieved, the remaining two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Kushimaru's comrades Ameyuri Ringo and Munashi Jinpachi, had also lost their combat capability.

Unable to attend to these matters, Hozuki Mangetsu and Mizunuki Ryosuke hurried toward the location where the Three-Tails and Mizunuki Taki were engaged in battle. ===== CHAPTER 131 =====
