Chapter 821

He had to release it as soon as possible.

"Oh no!"

Kakuzu was horrified; he wasn't stupid, and he could certainly see the extraordinary nature of the jutsu Mizunuki Ryosuke was releasing.

The terrifying power of this jutsu reminded Kakuzu of the shock he felt years ago when he saw Senju Hashirama's terrifying Wood Style with his own eyes!

Now, this terrifying aura of death permeated the air once again, causing a desire to retreat to sprout in Kakuzu's heart.

Without hesitation, he immediately manipulated the four Earth Grudge Fear monsters to entangle the Ice Dragon Kings at all costs, while he himself turned and fled in one direction without looking back.

"Want to run? Keep dreaming!"

Seeing Kakuzu trying to run, Mizunuki Ryosuke revealed a somewhat sinister smile.

"Explode!"

He raised his other hand to form a single-handed seal; the two Ice Dragon Kings that were entangled with the Earth Grudge Fear monsters had completed their mission and were about to exert their final effect, each letting out a long roar toward the sky.

Then—

"BOOM!!!"

The two Ice Dragon Kings, each tens of meters long, simultaneously exploded into crystalline ice filling the sky, kicking up a massive ice and snow storm! And the range of this ice and snow storm happened to encompass Kakuzu and all four of his Earth Grudge Fear monsters.

"What!!"

A look of horror appeared in the depths of Kakuzu's eyes; because of his Earth Style: Hardening and the defensive nature of the Earth Grudge Fear technique, the Ice Dragon Kings' suicidal explosion did not cause effective damage to Kakuzu, but it relied on the freezing attribute to trap Kakuzu in place.

Under the suicidal explosion of the Ice Dragon Kings, Kakuzu, trapped in place, was absolutely livid.

"Die!"

"Ice Style: Great Red Lotus Shuriken Jutsu!"

Following Mizunuki Ryosuke's loud shout, the deep-blue shuriken, which had expanded another circle compared to before, was thrown out with all his might...

Mizunuki Ryosuke could be considered to have had a rare moment of "passion," shouting out the name of the move.

After all, this move had now been completely reborn, so calling it a Rasenshuriken was naturally no longer appropriate.

"Go!"

Subsequently, Mizunuki Ryosuke exerted his Body Flicker Technique, Yang Style: Speed, and all other moves that could enhance movement speed at all costs, scooped up Kurotsuchi, and sped away in the opposite direction of the Ice Style: Great Red Lotus Shuriken Jutsu.

After all, reality is not a game; there is no such thing as "no friendly fire."

Mizunuki Ryosuke had already concluded that the damage and impact caused by this move would likely exceed his imagination.

He could run, but Kakuzu, who was trapped in place by the Ice Dragon Kings' self-destruction, could only watch helplessly as the massive deep-blue shuriken approached.

"NO!!!!"

Accompanied by Kakuzu's hysterical, unwilling roar, a crisp cracking sound reached the air.

"Crack!"

Mizunuki Ryosuke, who hadn't run far, increased his speed by another notch upon hearing the sound.

"Whoosh!"

A brilliant ice-blue light flashed, freezing Kakuzu's fear-filled face in this moment forever.

In an instant, it seemed as if only this dazzling ice-blue remained in the entire world.

Kurotsuchi, held in Mizunuki Ryosuke's arms, couldn't help but look back, and a hint of intoxication flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Beautiful, it was simply too beautiful!

At this moment, this ice-blue aurora seemed to carry colorful outlines, and the soft halo was like the ribbons of a fairy's dress gently brushing over everything.

But soon, Kurotsuchi's gaze changed from intoxication to horror.

The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is, and this "aurora" that tore through the sky was no exception.

Kurotsuchi clearly saw that wherever this aurora passed, everything was plated with a layer of ice-blue luster and frozen in mid-air, as if "someone outside the box" had pressed the pause button on this world.

"Frozen" was not as simple as just stopping and not moving.

Even the birds flying in the sky and the raindrops were all frozen in mid-air, eternally solidified in the scene.

Seeing this ice-blue luster about to catch up to Mizunuki Ryosuke and permanently "freeze" the two of them in this scene as well, Kurotsuchi's eyes were filled with fear, and her small hands couldn't help but grip Mizunuki Ryosuke's lapels.
