Chapter 26: , those who play with explosions have dirty hearts

Kari, in a state of high concentration, performed high-speed hand seals with his hands.

As Kari’s hand seals became more complete, even the air around him seemed to faintly emit extremely subtle "crackling" sounds.

After nearly ten seconds of hand seals.

Kari suddenly lifted his leg and shouted.

"Get out of the way!"

Hearing this, the two Jonin, who were already unable to hold on, breathed a sigh of relief and jumped away from Kari’s direction.

Because they also knew very well how terrifying Kari was when he went all out.

He was seen suddenly lifting his leg and kicking the ground with all his strength.

Explosion Style: Ultimate Blast!

"Boom!"

An explosion sound comparable to the previous explosive tag trap resounded through the sky.

Endless ice shards scattered in all directions.

The ice layer, a full seven or eight meters deep, was blasted through, revealing the ground beneath.

In the center of the "skating rink," a conical ice cave with a range of fifty meters was blasted out.

The two Jonin were overjoyed; as long as they could return to the ground, the two of them would regain most of their combat power.

At the very least, the two could use secret techniques to escape from underground.

Thus, the three hurriedly leaped into the ice cave blasted out by Kari, but before the three could be happy.

A horrifying scene occurred.

As everyone knows, the power brought by an explosion is not a stable, regular force.

The result it causes can only be a stable, irregular result.

One might ask, in an ice cave that presents irregular planes everywhere, how many surfaces would there be?

The answer is: hundreds or thousands.

If one were to treat every plane as a "mirror."

How many natural mirrors would there be?

Secret Technique: Demonic Mirror Ice Crystals!

From the perspective of Kari and the other two, on the surface and inside the ice walls of the ice cave, there were now countless figures of Mizunuki Ryosuke!

The gentle smile on Mizunuki Ryosuke’s lips now looked more like a death warrant from the Grim Reaper to the three of them!

This bizarre scene immediately terrified the two Jonin.

There was no help for it; the psychological pressure caused by being stared at by hundreds of eerie gazes simultaneously was simply too great.

In the Jonin exam, a combined attack of just four ice mirrors had nearly cost Kaguya Yuta, who possessed the Dead Bone Pulse, his life on the spot.

At this moment, how could these few possibly escape unscathed?

Ice Style: Frigid Thrust!

In an instant, terrifying, hideous ice spikes protruded from dozens of ice mirrors simultaneously, the tips of the spikes carrying a bone-chilling cold.

Not leaving the three any time to resist, Kari and one Jonin were immediately pierced through by dozens of ice spikes, turning into hedgehogs.

And the Rock Ninja Jonin, whom Mizunuki Ryosuke had deliberately left alive, was already out of his mind with fear.

Even a Rock Ninja, long-accustomed to battle and known for a firm will, had his psychological defenses collapse at this moment, collapsing onto the ground.

Suddenly, the figures in the countless ice surfaces disappeared, leaving only one figure.

It must be Mizunuki Ryosuke’s true body.

Mizunuki Ryosuke was seen calmly emerging from the ice mirror, a gentle smile still lingering on his lips.

Next, it was time for interrogation.

Leaving this Rock Ninja alive was naturally to seek the truth.

What was this mission really about? Where did these Rock Ninjas pop out from?

As Mizunuki Ryosuke slowly approached, the remaining Rock Ninja kept crawling backward, looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke as if he were a demon.

Just as Mizunuki Ryosuke passed by Kari, who had been turned into a hedgehog by the ice spikes, he suddenly opened his blood-soaked eyes, reached out, and grabbed Mizunuki Ryosuke’s arm tightly.

This action condensed the last of Kari’s strength before death, making his hands as firm as iron pincers, impossible to break free from.

That he was not dead even after this showed that Kari’s vitality was extremely tenacious.

Kari stared fixedly at Mizunuki Ryosuke with his hideous, blood-red eyes, a sinister smile appearing on his lips.

"Tatsuo..."

"Brother is about to avenge you!"

While thinking this, the air around Kari actually began to emit crackling explosion sounds again.

This time, the force of the explosion would likely be even greater than before.

At such a close distance, even Mizunuki Ryosuke would likely not escape unscathed.

But who would have thought, Mizunuki Ryosuke just glanced indifferently at Kari, who was grabbing his arm, his expressionless smile not even changing, and then he turned and made a move Kari could not understand.

He was seen manipulating the solid ice nearby to form an effective protection for the Rock Ninja Jonin on the side.

The sinister smile on Kari’s lips stiffened, because he suddenly felt that the arm he was grabbing seemed not only a bit too cold but also somewhat hard.

It did not seem like a normal human arm.

After doing all this, Mizunuki Ryosuke seemed to have exhausted his strength, his body stiff and motionless.

With a puff of mist, "Mizunuki Ryosuke" returned to his original form: a lump of solid ice. ===== CHAPTER 52 =====

Ice Style: Ice Clone Technique

"NO!!!!"

Kari shouted in unwillingness, his blood-red eyes splitting.

But unfortunately, the process of self-detonation had reached its final moment and could not be stopped.

"BOOM!!!!!"

A mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

Mizunuki Ryosuke, outside the "skating rink," revealed a contemptuous smile after sensing the information transmitted back by the Ice Clone.

"Hmph, still too young."

"How could I not guard against you people who play with explosions."

"You people who play with explosions have dirty hearts."

"If you can't win, you self-detonate; it's an old trick."

Mizunuki Ryosuke shook his head secretly, looking as if the young man's tricks were too shallow.

It turned out that long before diving into the ice layer, Mizunuki Ryosuke had already slipped away.

What remained in place was merely an Ice Clone, specifically to guard against this potential self-detonation.

Afterward, Mizunuki Ryosuke then hurried toward the explosion site.

He went to check if the survivor he had specifically left behind was still alive.

But if he were dead, there was nothing to be done; Mizunuki Ryosuke could not risk even the slightest bit to save this Rock Ninja, even if he held precious intelligence.

After all, everything was insignificant compared to Mizunuki Ryosuke’s own life.
