until now, only the Second Tsuchikage Mu of the Hidden Rock had done it in the entire ninja world, and he named it \"Kekkei Tota.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That is to say, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s action at this moment was actually researching a brand-new \"Kekkei Tota.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He wanted to integrate the Yin Style attribute into the Fourth Stage of Celestial Phenomenon Arrival to form a brand-new Kekkei Tota formed by Water + Wind + Yin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And undoubtedly, the difficulty of such a conception and action was naturally extremely great.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So until just now, the Kekkei Tota ninjutsu \"Cross of Judgment\" that Mizunuki Ryosuke attempted to fuse by Water + Wind + Yin only showed a half-baked state.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Actually, even Mizunuki Ryosuke did not know what kind of effect and form it would present after this technique was finally developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>According to the \"experimental results\" of the battle just now, the originally transparent and pure cold ice became black ice emitting an ominous luster.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Besides the lethality surpassing ordinary cold ice, this black ice also seemed to possess the ability to influence people’s minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But undoubtedly, even the \"semi-finished product\" at the moment, if Mizunuki Ryosuke hadn't held back in time just now, it would likely have been enough to completely exterminate the Four-Tails, Son Goku, and turn it into a streak of pure chakra in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the reason Mizunuki Ryosuke held back in time was also very simple; it was not out of mercy, but because Tailed Beasts could not be \"killed.\" Or rather: Tailed Beasts could not be killed by \"normal means.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The nature of the Tailed Beast itself was one of the Ten-Tails’ chakra, and the reason people in the ninja world could use chakra was also because the Ten-Tails (God Tree) had spread chakra to the entire ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, how could you kill a mass of \"moving chakra\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even if you exterminated the current form of the Tailed Beast, before long, a \"brand-new\" Tailed Beast would be reborn in some corner of the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Unless you could summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and let the Tailed Beast chakra return to the main body, otherwise the idea of killing a Tailed Beast was just empty talk and a bubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Instead, it was better to seal it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the ninja world, for existences that \"could not be killed,\" the common means was to seal them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The battle ended, Mizunuki Ryosuke withdrew the Tailed Beast chakra that had overflowed from his body, the scarlet cold ice armor instantly returned to normal, and he had already withdrawn the \"Tailed Beast Cloak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Afterward, the Cold Ice Armor: Sacred Cloth Form fell off from Mizunuki Ryosuke’s body piece by piece and disappeared into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at the Four-Tails that had been frozen into an ice sculpture by black ice in front of him, Mizunuki Ryosuke no longer delayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He flashed to the command position of the Cloud ninja troops and found the Cloud ninja commander, Dodai.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>·· ····Seeking flowers··· ····\u003C\u002Fp>",1330,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.539Z","2026-06-17T09:00:23.248Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","82b889c0b8034a564e59ffe8036a991c77958fd73cab49fda00b11c6a48bea7c","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-359","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-357",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
