at that time, you only need to open them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then just pour chakra into them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After hearing Mizunuki Ryosuke's order, the three went to execute the order separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sure enough, the explosion that came from the distance not long after made the three of them shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They didn't expect the mission to really change as Ryosuke said, with unexpected changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So the three did not dare to delay and hurriedly went to execute Ryosuke's order.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After seeing Ryosuke and the Rock ninjas led by Kari arrive, they tore open the scrolls given by Mizunuki Ryosuke separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For a time, a large amount of the three's chakra was sucked into the scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Three barriers formed of ice began to stretch and overlap, surrounding a triangular area.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, because of using the scrolls, the three's chakra was exhausted, and they lost their combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is this the graveyard you chose for yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kari looked at the three ordinary ice walls around him and said with a hideous expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To this, Mizunuki Ryosuke just shook his head indifferently; it looked like this guy didn't know the principle that \"villains die from talking too much\" at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing that everything was ready, Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally had no desire to talk nonsense with Kari.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Between his hands forming hand seals quickly, an A-rank ninjutsu had already taken shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A massive amount of water was sprayed from Mizunuki Ryosuke's mouth; facing the pressure brought by the waves, the two Jonin did not sit and wait for death but joined forces to use an Earth Release ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The barrier formed by rocks made the water flow begin to divert and bypass from the rock wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To a certain extent, Earth Release indeed naturally countered Water Release; this was the natural advantage of Rock ninjas facing Hidden Mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke was completely indifferent to everything before him; the massive amount of water was still spreading continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Soon the water flow submerged everything around; due to the existence of the three huge ice walls, this place soon became a triangular reservoir.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke's hands began to form hand seals quickly again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kari, who was an elite ninja, seemed to realize something and immediately shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Not good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Subsequently, Kari put his hands together and slammed them onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With a tremor of the earth, a stone pillar about five or six meters thick slowly rose from the ground, lifting the Rock ninjas into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, Mizunuki Ryosuke's hand seals were also completed; as his hands slammed onto the ground, the originally transparent water flow began to condense quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ice Release: Extreme Ice Construction Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Almost instantly, the original reservoir turned into a \"skating rink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it weren't for Kari's timely reaction, all of them would probably have been frozen in ice blocks by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The change in the scene left the Rock ninjas stunned; they didn't expect the opponent to have such means.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In just a fleeting moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke gained a huge home-field advantage!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Without a word of nonsense, Mizunuki Ryosuke launched an attack immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To reduce the accident to the lowest degree, this time he decided to bring out half of his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ice Style: Frigid Earth!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As Mizunuki Ryosuke exerted his power, the originally smooth ice surface began to tremble violently, and countless sharp ice spikes shimmering with a cold light began to pierce through the ice, thrusting toward the Rock Ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s body sank into the ice surface, disappearing into the extreme cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under the assault of the ice spikes, the stone pillars carrying the Rock Ninjas were destroyed in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Facing such a terrifying ninjutsu, the Rock Ninjas turned pale, seeing that they were about to land upon the cold, shimmering ice spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Kari stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Explosion Style: Landmine Fist!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kari condensed all the Qi in his body into his fist and smashed it toward the incoming ice spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But it wasn't over yet; dense clusters of ice spikes continued to thrust up from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kari repeated his technique, swinging his fists continuously, and violent explosions rang out one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In an instant, the sharp, bone-chilling ice spikes were blasted into powder by Kari’s fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The remaining Rock Ninjas also reacted, forming hand seals in succession; a Rock Ninja Jonin’s two arms transformed into thick, rocky limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Earth Style: Rock Transformation Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Jonin used his rock-transformed arms to smash into the spiked icy earth, forcibly carving out a patch of empty space to stand on.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another Rock Ninja Jonin simultaneously performed a ninjutsu, attempting to manipulate the rocks to break the ice surface from beneath the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But in the end, facing the extremely hard ice, his attempt returned without success.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Due to the existence of the solid ice, the few Rock Ninjas were unable to touch the ground for a time, causing their most powerful Earth Style techniques to be unusable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finally, after Kari landed, he smashed his fist into the ice surface with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The violent explosion blasted a gap in the ice surface beneath his feet, yet it still could not completely penetrate the ice layer to reach the ground below.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Instead, the next moment, violent ice spikes extended from the gap in the ice layer, forcing Kari back onto the ice surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Find a way to leave this place!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kari’s expression was grave; he knew deep down that to neutralize this move of Mizunuki Ryosuke’s, they had to escape the opponent’s home-field advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otherwise, fighting on the ice surface indefinitely, they would sooner or later be worn down to death by the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this very moment, three Chunin of insufficient strength had already died under the strangulation of these dense ice spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This forced Kari to make a decision quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finally, Kari decided not to hesitate any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Buy me some time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After saying this, the two Jonin came to Kari’s sides, resisting the ice spikes coming from all directions for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>(Seeking flowers, seeking votes, seeking support!
