12. A Jutsu which Can Insta-kill a Tailed Beast

(Sorry, wasn't able to upload Friday's chapter, had a lot of issues, so I made a post on my Patreon to update you guys, there are 4 chapters per week this time, 100 Powerstones for a bonus chapter, give your best!)

"Wait, you weren't supposed to say that," Miyuki reprimanded Yukio.

"It's fine. We're close with the old man; he will definitely understand, right, old man?" Yukio looked at Hiruzen for confirmation.

"Yes, I completely understand. I was also worried about that, which is why it took me a long time to find a suitable team," Hiruzen nodded.

'What? He was actually thinking about this matter?' Miyuki felt like someone had pulled the floor out from under her. She barely managed to keep her shock from showing on her face.

'This brat, he knows Danzo so thoroughly. I hadn't even thought about this until now. Danzo would definitely make a move against Itachi since he's an Uchiha, and now that he's under Miyuki's and Yukio's tutelage, he'll definitely act. Sigh, how should I deal with this?' Hiruzen had spouted a lie on the spot.

"See, he understands. Anyway, let's leave now. We only have three days to create a war," Yukio said, dragging Miyuki out of the room before Hiruzen could decide to bring up another topic.

"Jeez, you should really think before you speak. Actually, never mind, you do think a lot before speaking, don't you?" Miyuki said with a wry smile.

"I don't know what you mean," Yukio smirked.

"Anyway, let's go. We have a war to start."

They both headed out of the village.

"So, where first?"

"Let's go to the Land of Frost first," he said, closing his eyes and stopping, prompting her to stop too.

She put her hand on his right shoulder.

"Do you have a seal present in the Land of Frost too?"

"Umm, okay, I've locked onto it," he said.

In the next instant, both of them disappeared from where they were standing.

On an icy mountain, two figures suddenly materialized.

"Damn, this jutsu is so convenient. No wonder Minato-sensei loved it," Miyuki commented.

"Too bad we can't individually use this jutsu," Yukio replied as he started moving.

"Hehe, well, we only can't take advantage of the combat aspect. No need to be pessimistic," she said, following after him.

They traversed through the snow relatively easily due to the application of advanced water walking.

Suddenly, Yukio paused.

"What is it?"

"I sense humans—no, ninjas—nearby. A hideout, maybe. It wasn't there the last time I came. Let's check it out," he said, changing direction.

She followed him.

**POV - Unknown**

I have been starving for too long.

Starving for the freedom that rightfully belongs to us.

Yet, we can't do anything other than hide like cowards from the world.

Till when?

Till when do we have to live like this?

"Papa?"

"Oh, nothing, honey. Did you complete today's homework?" He came back to his senses and looked at his daughter. She reminded him too much of her mother.

"Yeah, it was easy. Sensei even praised me for my progress."

"Good. You'll really become a strong person in the future," he said, hoping she'd be strong enough to protect herself in this cruel world.

"Yes, I'm going back to training," she said, heading to the front yard.

Children really grow up fast, huh?

I snapped my head toward one location.

Somebody sensed me.

I rushed out in a body flicker.

"Alert everyone, it's Code Red."

After giving the order, I weaved hand seals and disappeared in a flicker.

Nobody should have sensed this place as there are a lot of seals present—unless they were a seal master specifically looking for it or had different methods of sensing.

I appeared at the location and saw a green-haired boy and a white-haired girl.

'Both are at least Jounin level. Age-wise, I'd say around 18, but they could be younger as well.'

"I told you not to spread your sensory field. See, he sensed you sensing us."

"I didn't know an elite Jounin was camping in this barren land," the white-haired girl retorted.

Did that boy notice me without me noticing? He's a superior sensor—no wonder.

I summoned my weapon.

A blue-coloured axe appeared in my right hand.

"Woah, that's definitely a high-quality chakra axe. I haven't seen anyone use an axe before," the girl commented.

In the next instant, I reached the green-haired boy, swinging my axe at his neck.

I only need one person to question how they found this location.

This place can't be discovered at any cost.

I could see in slow motion, my axe closing in on his neck.

Surprisingly, he could perceive my movements precisely, but he didn't move—or rather, he didn't even try to move.

I tilted my eyes and saw a lightning-covered katana's tip closing in on my neck very quickly.

My axe will reach this kid's neck first, but in that case, I would definitely die.

I had to unwillingly change the direction of my swing.

The axe met the katana.

Ice met lightning.

I instinctively raised my left hand in front of my head.

The boy's kick met my arm.

My arm was crushed right there, and the deadlock between the katana and axe was broken as I was thrown like a rag doll.

'Perfect coordination. These two were in sync. This level of teamwork is not even seen in Konoha ninjas. Just who are they? That kid took advantage of the slight gap in my chakra enhancement at the right time. I don't think it was luck.' I weaved hand seals with my remaining hand, which was holding my axe.

A water dragon met an ice dragon, the latter overpowering the former.

However, the two were not present in that place. Just as I landed, I blocked the katana with my axe wielded by my right hand. My left leg, covered in ice, kicked sideways. He blocked it with his hands in a cross-guard.

'Wait, no transformation jutsu.' The boy and girl transformed into the girl and boy. The boy, holding the katana, weaved hand seals.

'I thought that the boy wasn't a sword wielder. Damn it, why did I create such a bias? Genjutsu?' I twisted my head at an unnatural angle, barely dodging the water bullet that came out of the boy's mouth.

Just as I was about to retaliate, a thought struck me, 'Wait, how did that boy miss? He shouldn't have actually missed. His water dragon might have been, but he wasn't able to hide his water chakra quality.'

My eyes widened. I looked at the girl, 'Double bluff. They were actually who they were from the start.' The 'girl' without a katana created a blue ball of concentrated chakra. Before I could pull my leg, it was too late. I could feel my leg bones getting crushed.

I ignored the pain and weaved hand seals. I looked at the girl, who now transformed into the boy, and the boy was having a deadlock with my axe, transformed into a girl again.

'The boy is more dangerous, but I can't just ignore the girl.' He released a vacuum jutsu at the girl. At this close range, she shouldn't be able to dodge.

It was a trump card he prepared to catch them off guard.

However, a kunai appeared in her hand, covered in lightning, clashing with the vacuum ball.

To my horror, it was thrown back at me.

I barely managed to duck. My mobility was restricted with my right leg. 'Should I do a suicide jutsu and take both of them down? What if there are others with them?'

Just as the boy was closing in on me, I released an ice dragon at my feet, freezing everything in a 5-meter radius.

This gave me enough time to prepare my final jutsu.

'If I'm going down, I'd rather bring both of them down.'

Under the cover of the fog created by my earlier attack, I quickly weaved hand seals.

I felt something penetrate me.

I looked down and saw a hand penetrate where my heart was.

I looked back and saw the green-haired boy looking at me with the same monotone facial expression he had since the beginning.

He was in the perfect position not to dodge my jutsu.

I would like my final jutsu to be heard by the world, as it would be the first and last time this jutsu would be released on this cruel world.

"Hyoton: Zettai Reido (Ice Release: Absolute Zero)"

The boy's facial expression finally changed. He raised an eyebrow.

My body exploded, and in a radius of 50 meters, everything turned to ice. The temperature dropped to levels never before witnessed by the world. Even space itself was distorted in that area due to the temperature being so low that molecules—no, strings or more like the fabric of reality—were unable to move, causing a distortion.

This was the last and ultimate jutsu he had created.

Even any of the tailed beasts, if hit by this jutsu, would die. Their resurrection is unknown.

It was a jutsu that could be called a forbidden jutsu and could stand proudly alongside the Reaper Death Seal.
