Chapter 22 Ice Release Bloodline Limit, Copying the Ice Release Secret Technique!

[Redeem successful]

The mechanical sound faded away.

A pale blue fruit appeared out of nowhere in Kaguya Naoki's hand, catching him completely off guard.

Kaguya Naoki, who had never exchanged or fused with other bloodline limits in the system, looked at the strange fruit in his hand and fell into deep thought.

This was a form he had never imagined.

Unexpectedly, the Ice Release Bloodline Limit could be contained within a vessel similar to a Devil Fruit.

Kaguya Naoki composed herself, took a deep breath, and took a big bite of the Ice Release Bloodline Limit Fruit.

quack!

Crisp and sweet.

Noticing no unusual reaction, Kaguya Naoki quickly swallowed the rest of the fruit in one gulp.

Just as the chill began to set in his stomach, an inexplicable force forcibly imprinted certain abilities into Kaguya Naoki's genes!
Under the influence of this power, the Water Release chakra and Wind Release chakra suddenly underwent a mutation, and the two chakras suddenly expanded and merged, becoming one.

After a long time, this change completely disappeared, and the two chakra returned to calm.

Naoki Kaguya opened his eyes, sensing the changes in his body, and at the same time circulated his chakra, a chilling aura appearing in his hand.

Is this the power of Ice Release?
Instead of being pleased, Naoki Kaguya was worried. He tried to activate it several times, but each time it only produced a chilling aura.

Following the hand seals of the Minazuki ninja as he remembered them, Kaguya Naoki moved his hands rapidly, then let out a low shout.

Ice Release: Ice Mirror Technique.

As soon as he finished speaking, a chilling aura emanated from him, but it was even more intense than before.

Why can't it be molded into shape?

Naoki Kaguya couldn't help but have a bad feeling.

Looking at the system, the Ice Release technique appeared as expected.

They're just waiting here? Isn't that a waste of exchange attempts?
Just as Kaguya Naoki frowned, she suddenly thought of an old friend she had just said goodbye to.

Kakashi, the Copy Ninja, can copy ninjutsu with just his Sharingan, and he also possesses the Byakugan, which has even stronger insight, so theoretically he should be able to copy even more easily.

Naoki Kaguya began to recall how Kakashi managed to copy.

The hand seals and the trajectory of chakra flow.

Correct!
Kaguya Naoki's eyes lit up, and her chakra began to move!

As long as you master the chakra flow trajectory and hand seals, and possess the corresponding chakra attribute, you can copy ninjutsu.

The reason why the clan secret techniques of bloodline ninjas cannot be copied is because their bodies have a special fusion of chakra properties.

Now, Kaguya Naoki, who possesses the Ice Release bloodline limit, naturally doesn't need to worry about this issue.

Naoki Kaguya's brows relaxed, and she understood.

Therefore, by simply observing how the Minazuki ninja forms hand seals and the chakra flow trajectory under the corresponding hand seal formula using the Byakugan, one can most likely learn Ice Release ninjutsu.

Theoretically, it was entirely feasible, which invigorated Kaguya Naoki.

However, it's quite difficult to observe these things during peacetime.

Naoki Kaguya's good mood dissipated considerably, and she sighed.

Unless you're extremely lucky and happen to run into one of those veteran Jonin who are teaching their disciples.

Otherwise, the best solution would be to have a fierce battle with them.

We can't delay any longer; war is about to break out.

Even after mastering Ice Release, one still needs time to hone their skills.

Without further hesitation, Kaguya Naoki pushed open the door, disappeared into the darkness, and headed towards the Minazuki clan's territory.

With the moon and stars shining brightly, and just before the war, the village was teeming with ninjas, which undoubtedly made Kaguya Naoki's operation even more difficult.

Thankfully, there were eye rolls.

Naoki Kaguya rubbed his eyes.

With these eyes, even if they are discovered by the village ninjas, they can escape in time.

Using the Byakugan to evade the Hidden Mist ninja's detection, they soon arrived at the edge of the Mizuki clan's territory.

Naoki Kaguya hid himself in the shadows some distance from the Minazuki clan's territory, stopped, and used his Byakugan to scan his surroundings.

Below their field of vision, apart from some Jonin-level chakra within the Minazuki clan's territory, the civilians living nearby consisted of only a few Genin scattered around; not even Chunin were visible.

These discoveries allowed Naoki Kaguya to breathe a sigh of relief.

I initially thought it would be a difficult task to find an opportunity. Unexpectedly, the divide between the villagers and those with bloodlines could have an unexpected effect. There are large uninhabited areas near the Minazuki clan's territory, which conveniently facilitates my movements.

Next, all you have to do is pick a suitable unlucky guy, kidnap him, take him to a secluded place, and have a good fight.

Although he cannot use the Shikotsumyaku or Hozuki's secret techniques, he should be able to close the distance and fight a Jonin who specializes in long-range attacks by relying on his Byakugan and his own taijutsu.

Naoki Kaguya activated his Byakugan and silently observed the Minazuki clan's territory.

After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, and with the sky gradually brightening, Kaguya Naoki's patience was slowly wearing thin.

Forget it, how long will this go on?

Naoki Kaguya formed hand seals, and a skeleton clone appeared beside him.

"Put on your Anbu uniform and go to the Minazuki clan's territory to summon a Jonin named Shuo."

The bone clone nodded blankly, changed into a Kirigakure Anbu uniform, and leaped directly to the front of the Mizuki clan's territory.

Bang bang bang!
The bone clone knocked on the door, and a member of the Minazuki clan peeked out from inside.

"what's up?"

“A great man wanted to see water without the moon’s reflection.”

"Elder Shuo?"

The clansman frowned, scrutinizing the bone clone with a suspicious look.

"Who is it, sir?"

The bone clone chuckled.

"This is not something you need to know, Chunin."

"Could it be that when war breaks out and powerful figures gather, someone in the village would dare to attack two Jonin for no reason?"

The Minazuki clan members nodded slightly, somewhat convinced by this reason.

"Wait here for me, I'll go and inform Elder Shuo."

All of this was observed by Naoki Kaguya.

The bone-cutting technique is progressing smoothly. Kaguya Naoki first puts on a Konoha Anbu mask and a Konoha headband.

After thinking for a moment, he made hand seals, and several skeletal clones appeared beside him, all of which were based on the appearances of Konoha ninjas.

"Put it on."

After saying that, the bone clones nodded mechanically and put on the masks and headbands of the Konoha Anbu.

Although it's a bit absurd that a large number of Konoha Anbu infiltrated Kirigakure and inexplicably attacked the Minazuki clan, as long as they don't suspect me, it's fine.

Naoki Kaguya muttered to himself, his Byakugan constantly watching his bone clone and the Minazuki behind him. After they entered a deserted area, he whispered.

"go!"

The bone clones flew out.

Kaguya Naoki took the lead, holding a kunai, and stood to the side of Minazuki Sho and the bone clone.

"Konoha ninja!"

Mizuki Shuo exclaimed in surprise and immediately formed hand seals, while simultaneously trying to increase the distance between himself and this inexplicable water shadow.

"Lord Shuo, cover me!" the bone clone suddenly spoke, dispelling the doubts that had just arisen.

Mizuki Shuo immediately stopped and turned to look at the Konoha ninjas. At the same time, he formed hand seals and asked the bone clone a question.

What spell do you want to cast?

Just then, a gust of wind came, startling him.

It's that secret unit; there's definitely something wrong with them.

As expected of a Jonin, Minazuki Shuo raised his hand to parry and block, his eyes widening as he prepared to kill the problematic Anbu member before turning back to face his enemy.

At that moment, a sound of tearing air came from behind.

How could it have covered that distance so quickly!
These were his last thoughts.

boom!
Mizuki Shuo immediately collapsed to the ground.

A Jonin was inexplicably defeated in a single blow before he could even unleash his clan's secret technique.

The owner of the fist was, of course, Kaguya Naoki.

Now that we have the person, the next step is to test whether we can actually learn the Ice Release technique using this method.

Hopefully, it really can.
