Ryosuke was about to make a move to block it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"CLANG!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure that also suddenly emerged from the lake water used a weapon that looked like a hook-sickle to block the sneak attack from under the water surface for Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, your opponent is me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu knocked away the Mist Anbu in front of him with a sword and blocked in front of Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who launched the sneak attack was the mysterious Mist Anbu who had appeared beside Hozuki Suigetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the one who blocked the mysterious Mist Anbu's sneak attack was Hozuki Mangetsu, who had been hiding under the water using the Hydrification Technique after finishing his healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu also had some understanding of this Mist Anbu's identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what this Mist Anbu's name was; everyone only knew that this Mist Anbu was a \"tool\" cultivated by Hozuki Suigetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meaning of this mysterious Mist Anbu's existence was to clear all obstacles in front of Hozuki Suigetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Hozuki Suigetsu's most trusted and most relied-upon right-hand man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that his sneak attack was blocked by Hozuki Mangetsu and had no effect, the mysterious Mist Anbu was not annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps his goal from the beginning was to hold Hozuki Mangetsu for Hozuki Suigetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go fight over there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the mysterious Mist Anbu said this, he led Hozuki Mangetsu to move quickly in a direction away from Hozuki Suigetsu and Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu was not polite either, and carrying the Lightning Blade: Kiba, he chased after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this Lightning Blade: Kiba was the sword Hozuki Mangetsu had taken from the hands of the combat-incapacitated Ameyuri Ringo just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although this Mist Anbu's sneak attack could not pose a threat to Mizunuki Ryosuke, Hozuki Mangetsu's help still made Ryosuke feel grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could express his gratitude to Hozuki Mangetsu, the other party had already taken his sword to fight the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not dwell on it, but focused on dealing with Hozuki Suigetsu in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, kid, let me play with you properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Hozuki Suigetsu brandished the weapon in his hand and approached Mizunuki Ryosuke at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, before becoming a perfect jinchuriki, Hozuki Suigetsu was a Kage-level powerhouse who excelled in taijutsu and secret techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strange club in his hand, with a large red flower blooming at the tip, could cooperate with Hozuki Suigetsu to release secret techniques with bizarre effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all in all, Hozuki Suigetsu's abilities were still primarily focused on close combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Hozuki Suigetsu also possessed a certain ability for long-range attacks, they were primarily ordinary Water Release and Wind Release, which were not actually outstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, when Hozuki Suigetsu encountered Mizunuki Ryosuke, it was destined to be a tragedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Mizunuki Ryosuke was completely different from ordinary Mizunuki ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"573\" As everyone knows, the Ice Release secret techniques of the Mizunuki clan ninjas rarely feature large-scale covering Ice Release attack ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Investigating the root cause, it was essentially due to a lack of chakra volume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To compensate for the shortcoming in chakra, the Mizunuki clan developed a series of secret techniques that used speed and technique to make up for their innate chakra deficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These secret techniques often complemented their close-combat abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Third Mizukage, Mizunuki Taki, integrated the Ice Release bloodline into his swordsmanship, forming a quite comprehensive close-combat capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As luck would have it, Hozuki Suigetsu was also a ninja who excelled in using ninjutsu to complement close combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in Hozuki Suigetsu's view, suppressing a half-baked Mizunuki ninja with his close-combat strength was naturally exceptionally easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke looked up at the light rain that had turned into a drizzle in the sky and secretly said: \"This kind of weather is just right for using that move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One-handed seal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Release: Heavenly Phenomenon Descent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A biting cold air condensed in the sky, and the sudden appearance of freezing air caused the water droplets falling from the sky to instantly condense into goose-feather snowflakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of climate issues, the entire Land of Water is in a tropical region year-round, and many people never see snow in their entire lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swirling goose-feather snowflakes made many ninjas unable to help but look up and reach out to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Mizunuki Ryosuke's actions, Hozuki Suigetsu was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that the falling snowflakes had no lethality, a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost in an instant, Hozuki Suigetsu had already used the Body Flicker Technique to get close to Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of flashy stuff is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Suigetsu swung the weapon in his hand at Mizunuki Ryosuke with great force, and the club with a large red flower blooming at the tip emitted a violent wind-breaking sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Hozuki Suigetsu's weapon with the large red flower, Mizunuki Ryosuke was beyond complaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You're carrying such a big \"red flower club,\" and you still have the nerve to call others flashy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be seen that Hozuki Suigetsu's attainment in the Body Flicker Technique was extraordinary, almost as fast as a bolt of lightning; such a level of Body Flicker Technique absolutely surpassed ninety-nine percent of ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slash of the \"red flower club\" was dodged by Mizunuki Ryosuke by bending his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who knew that the offensive of the weapon was just Hozuki Suigetsu's feint, and the real killing move was the other hand that Hozuki Suigetsu had been keeping behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Suigetsu grinned and slapped a palm toward Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard, Mizunuki Ryosuke seemed to have nowhere to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Suigetsu looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke, seemingly wanting to see the expression of fear on Ryosuke's face before his death, to satisfy his own perverse pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was destined to be disappointed, because all that was on Mizunuki Ryosuke's face was indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This palm was precisely Hozuki Suigetsu's Water Release secret technique: Coral Palm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one is hit by this palm, the target will not only be attacked by a huge impact force, but their entire body will also grow coral-like proliferative tissues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, Hozuki Mangetsu had only been grazed by Hozuki Suigetsu's Coral Palm and had almost lost his combat effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, if this palm were to slap Mizunuki Ryosuke directly, he would likely be finished in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Hozuki Suigetsu's palm made contact with Ryosuke's body, the ferocious grin on his face instantly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water splashes in the sky scattered in the air, and under the influence of the low temperature, they instantly turned into swirling snowflakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, the one hit by Hozuki Suigetsu was Mizunuki Ryosuke's Water Clone left in place!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Suigetsu was shocked in his heart; he hadn't noticed at all when Mizunuki Ryosuke had replaced his true body with a clone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly looked around, trying to find Mizunuki Ryosuke's figure, but no matter how he searched, the result was fruitless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where exactly is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Suigetsu searched and sensed everywhere, whether underwater or all around, he still found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SCREECH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a few sharp cries, several birds condensed from cold ice suddenly appeared in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Release: Flock of Ice Birds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the suddenly attacking flock of ice birds, Hozuki Suigetsu could only face them in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Suigetsu quickly formed seals and spat out a series of air compressed to the limit from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vacuum Spheres spat out one after another by Hozuki Suigetsu shattered half of the flock of ice birds on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining two or three were smashed by Hozuki Suigetsu at close range using the club in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the characteristics of ice, one could see obvious frostbite on Hozuki Suigetsu's arm from smashing the ice birds at close range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the result of being eroded by the scattered ice fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where exactly are you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Suigetsu cursed angrily; this feeling of having power but nowhere to use it made him feel too uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combat instinct of a Kage-level powerhouse made Hozuki Suigetsu feel very uneasy in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he also keenly noticed that as the snowflakes in the sky continued to fall, the temperature in the air was constantly dropping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could continue to be surprised, a high-pitched, angry roar suddenly came from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, a ferocious monster was emerging from the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive body, entirely molded from cold ice, refracted a dazzling luster under the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferocious head carried a heart-palpitating pressure, two huge wings gave this monster the thrust to float, the thick and sharp limbs emitted terrifying cold glints, and the sharp, slender tail with barbs made one feel a chill just by looking at it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1511,"2026-06-17T04:30:30.011Z","2026-06-17T05:05:37.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
