Chapter 670: , the coldness symbolizing death

By changing the environment, creating a home field, and strengthening the power of ninjutsu while reducing consumption—

This was the meaning first given to Celestial Phenomenon Descent when it was developed.

At the same time, this technique theoretically also possesses the possibility of "infinite growth."

As long as Mizunuki Ryosuke's chakra is sufficient, he can continuously lower the temperature of the surrounding environment.

In this way, the technique of Celestial Phenomenon Descent possesses near-infinite potential.

As long as Mizunuki Ryosuke's strength is enough to support the performance of this technique, then this technique also possesses the possibility of infinite evolution.

Before becoming a Jinchuriki, Mizunuki Ryosuke could only perform it to the Third Stage: Domain of Eternal Sin.

And after becoming a Jinchuriki, with the support of the Tailed Beast's massive chakra, Mizunuki Ryosuke was finally able to support the release of the Fourth Stage of Celestial Phenomenon Descent.

When developing the Fourth Stage technique, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not copy the thinking used when developing Mahapadma, but changed his thinking.

He changed the direction of development from "purity" to the pursuit of "lethality."

"Purity" and "extremity" have never been equivalent to damage.

And to maximize damage, one must necessarily take into account both quality and quantity.

Following this idea, Mizunuki Ryosuke began to think about the technique for the Fourth Stage of Celestial Phenomenon Descent.

In the end, it was the Third Raikage's "Storm Release" that gave Mizunuki Ryosuke inspiration.

Storm Release is a ninjutsu generated by using lightning-natured chakra and water-natured chakra simultaneously.

Pure lightning cannot be controlled freely; because of the addition of the "water" attribute, the pure black thunder formed by Storm Release can be as free as a water flow, and the lightning becomes a laser whose direction and angle can be controlled freely, just as the enemy said, "possessing a guidance function."

Besides this, after endowing the thunder with the "water" attribute, the damage and pain caused by Storm Release were also doubled.

And what Mizunuki Ryosuke valued most was the ability of "pain enhancement" possessed by Storm Release.

Hearing this term, Mizunuki Ryosuke instantly associated it with another kind of ability—Yin Release!

An ability on the "spiritual" level.

Thinking of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke had already determined the development direction of Celestial Phenomenon Descent, Fourth Stage: Cross of Judgment.

After Celestial Phenomenon Descent reached the Third Stage, the temperature in the air would drop rapidly, and the snowflakes in the sky would completely turn into goose-feather snow.

And the technique of the Third Stage—Domain of Eternal Sin—its principle is to borrow the weather power produced by Celestial Phenomenon Descent to gather the low temperature in the entire space, thereby producing the effect of freezing and damage.

It was mentioned earlier that to cause effective damage to enemies with a large enough volume, besides the quality of the ninjutsu, the ninjutsu must also possess a large enough scale, which is that the ninjutsu must also possess a certain "quantity."

And at the Third Stage, Celestial Phenomenon Descent already possessed the "quantity" to cause damage to large enemies.

When Celestial Phenomenon Descent reached the Fourth Stage, the temperature in the air would drop further, and the snowflakes in the sky would turn into a product of even lower temperature—hailstones.

And what Mizunuki Ryosuke wanted to do was not to continue to increase the "quantity" of this technique, but to find a way to strengthen the "quality" of this technique.

—That is, Mizunuki Ryosuke needed to further strengthen the damage of this technique.

Since he decided to incorporate the "Yin attribute"—the power of the spirit.

Then he must find a characteristic where the Yin attribute and the Ice attribute can combine.

After thinking for a long time, Mizunuki Ryosuke finally found the common characteristic between the two—death.

In ancient times, when human productivity was still very inferior.

The biting winter was undoubtedly a hurdle for most humans.

The low temperature of winter and the biting climate would become the sickle in the hands of the Grim Reaper to take away human lives.

Every year after entering winter, there were always people who would lose their lives because of the cold temperature.

Not only humans, everything in the world would wither in winter.

Whether it was flowers, birds, trees, or fish, birds, insects, and beasts, once they stepped into the harsh winter, they would face the test of the cold winter.

Thus, from this time on, the cold winter was linked to "death" by humans.

This is also why, in many early human pantheons, the winter god symbolizing coldness generally also held the attribute of "Grim Reaper."

And this is the most appropriate combination method of "Ice attribute" and "Yin attribute."

Coldness and death are naturally a perfectly fused existence.

In the Ninja World, when two single attributes combine, they will form a new attribute, which is what people know as "Kekkei Genkai."

And when three attributes combine, they will form a brand-new power; until now, only the Second Tsuchikage Mu of Iwagakure has done it in the entire Ninja World, naming it "Kekkei Tota."

That is to say, Mizunuki Ryosuke's action at this moment was actually researching a brand-new "Kekkei Tota."

... Please send flowers...

He wanted to incorporate the Yin Release attribute into the Fourth Stage of Celestial Phenomenon Descent to form a brand-new Kekkei Tota formed by Water + Wind + Yin.

And undoubtedly, the difficulty of such a conception and action was naturally extremely great.

So until just now, the Kekkei Tota ninjutsu "Cross of Judgment" that Mizunuki Ryosuke attempted to fuse from Water + Wind + Yin only showed a half-baked state.

In fact, even Mizunuki Ryosuke did not know what kind of effect and form it would present after this technique was finally developed.

According to the "experimental results" of the battle just now, the originally transparent and pure cold ice became black ice radiating an ominous luster.

Besides lethality exceeding ordinary cold ice, this black ice also seemed to possess the ability to influence people's minds.

But undoubtedly, even if it was a "semi-finished product" at the moment, if Mizunuki Ryosuke had not 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 pure streak of chakra between heaven and earth.

And the reason Mizunuki Ryosuke held back in time was also very simple; it was not out of kindness, but because Tailed Beasts cannot be "killed." Or rather: Tailed Beasts cannot be killed by "normal means."

The nature of Tailed Beasts themselves is one of the Ten-Tails' chakra, and the reason why people in the Ninja World can use chakra is also because the Ten-Tails (Divine Tree) spread chakra to the entire Ninja World.

Therefore, how could you kill a "moving chakra"?

Even if you exterminate the current form of the Tailed Beast, after not long, a "brand-new" Tailed Beast will be reborn in some corner of the Ninja World.

Unless you can summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and let the Tailed Beast chakra return to the main body, the idea of killing a Tailed Beast is just empty talk and a bubble.

Instead, it is better to seal it directly, which is more realistic.

In the Ninja World, for existences that "cannot be killed," the common means is to seal them.

The battle ended, Mizunuki Ryosuke withdrew the Tailed Beast chakra overflowing from his body, and the scarlet cold ice armor returned to normal instantly; he had already removed the "Tailed Beast Cloak."

Afterward, the Cold Ice Armor: Saint Cloth Form fell off Mizunuki Ryosuke's body piece by piece and disappeared into the air.

Looking at the Four-Tails that had been frozen into an ice sculpture by black ice, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not delay any longer.

He flashed to the command post of the Cloud ninja troops and found the Cloud ninja commander, Dodai.
