Chapter 9: Soru
Ice Release: Substitution Jutsu is a self-created summoning ninjutsu by Tosaka. The technique's principle is straightforward: it opens up a space underground and exchanges the user's position with that space. This makes it an effective jutsu for waiting it out.
However, there is a drawback. If the enemy launches a large-scale ninjutsu from above, Tosaka, hiding underground, will experience the collapse and destruction of his hiding place.
For example, the Gedo Statue's huge body and the force generated by each step brougth forth a vibration on the level of a large-scale ninjutsu.
What's even more worse now is that...the original ocean surface had been frozen into ice by Tosaka!
With it now being stepped on by the Gedo Statue the ice started to crack with spider web like cracks!
Tosaka, who was hiding underground, was talking with the system when he suddenly felt water leaking from above.
'System, you mean that there is the chakra of a tailed beast on top the of the ice right now?'
'Yes.'
Tosaka was stunned, memories flooding back to the moment he was struck down by the Five Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb. Anger simmered within him.
The situation had been infuriating. Given Tosaka's strength, defeating a Jinchūriki should have been easier than that. However, after ten days and nights of relentless battle, he was utterly exhausted. Moreover, he had not anticipated that the tailed beast's chakra would act like Haki, capable of bypassing his defenses and damaging his body.
If only he had bothered to dodge the attack, he might have survived.
These two critical errors led to his death.
"Tsunade must've been very sad after I died..." Tosaka thought silently.
Rumble...
Ice shards fell onto his head. Tosaka shook his head with a warm smile on his face.
He thought to himself, 'Now that I'm free from the control of Edo Tensei, I only need to gather the Chakra of the nine tailed beasts, and I can be fully resurrected... Heh, I wonder how Tsunade will react when she finds out I'm alive!'
Rumble...
The ice continued to fall, falling on Tosaka's head and shoulders, and turning into water.
Tosaka continued to remember of his last moments with Tsunade.
Recalling that day at sunset, Tosaka, with his white hair and slender frame clad in a black yukata, often spent his free time lying in the forest with Tsunade. His eyes were warm, and with his gentle smile.
Looking at Tsunade who kept ignoring him, he said helplessly: "This is a war, I can't not go."
"I don't care."
"Haha, don't worry, I'm strong, this kind of war is nothing to me."
"I don't care."
"Um...I should go."
"I don't care...how dare you!"
Tsunade instantly transformed from a sad tsundere into a wild bloodhound.
With her twitching eyebrow she said angrily: "You're just fighting on the battlefield all the time! Is it because I'm not good enough, or is it because you wanna see someone else? Huh?!"
"I....."
"Shut up! You idiot."
Tsunade's emotions changed very quickly, and her eyes were quickly filled with tears. She didn't know where to hide the tears, so she quickly wiped her tears very in the hope that he wouldn't see.
"You probably only want to go to the battlefield to see that woman... What's so good about that Suna woman? Do you want go to such a dangerous place just to see her? Am I... so unbearable in your heart?"
Tohsaka was sweating awkwardly. He had been told that woman sometimes can act crazy and with dating Tsunade he had experienced it before but never on this level..
"Are you going to the battlefield? Don't go!"
"What? You have to go? Damn it, you must have thought that woman was pretty. Last time we went to the Sand Shinobi battlefield, you looked at her twice!"
"That woman only knows how to play with fire. You, a man who wields ice, why are you looking at her?"
"What the hell..." Tosaka was puched many times by Tsunade just because he glanced at the Suna girl in the crowd.
And now he was going to the battlefield again.
In the end, Tosaka held Tsunade in his arms with a gentle smile.
He said softly: "Well, when this war ends, we'll get married."
Tsunade was stunned, and soon, her cheeks were covered with blush.
Looking at her cute face, Tosaka couldn't help but deeply kiss her.
Then he turned around and when he fifty meters away. He turned around and said, "I'm leaving now."
In his last memory of her, Tsunade couldn't seem to be able raise her head to look at him. Her lowered head and her flustered face that was what he last remembered.
Boom!
Ice shards fell again, interrupting Tosaka's thoughts.
The corners of his mouth twitched and he looked at the ice above in annoyance.
Rumble...
'What the hell!'
'I'm trying reminisce about my beautiful Tsuna-chan and you're disturbing my peace.'
Tosaka's level anger instantly went to the max.
He jumped up.
Chakra instantly surrounded his arm as he hit the ice with all his might.
"Rokushiki: Shigan!"
Bang!
The ice layer was broken by a finger!
Tosaka's figure emerging from the ice was striking and distinct on the battlefield.
The rays of the setting sun shone on the shattered ice, reflecting light in all directions.
For a moment, he seemed to be shining.
"It's the eternal ice!"
"He showed up again!"
The ninjas exclaimed.
Some ninjas with a poor mentality even lost control of their legs and collapsed.
"Oh my God... Of course one Madara Uchiha is not enough, now there's also a legendary ninja! How can we keep on fighting!"
As the Commander of the first division battlefield, even Darui had cold sweat on his head at this time.
"What's wrong with my luck! I didn't expect him to show up at such a time... It seems that I can only do it, but my strength is no match for him. Do I want to hold him back? Forget it."
He looked up at the sky and said helplessly.
"It's so tiring. It seems it's my turn this time. I'm sorry everyone."
He was ready to fight with his life on the line.
The masked man on the side did not turn his head but his Sharingan turned to look at Tosaka's figure.
He thought to himself: 'That's him, the Eternal Ice.'
...
"Everyone! Charge with me!"
Darui took action, organized a left-over ninja team, and charged towards Tosaka!
'He has the strongest Ice Release in history. If we uses Lightning Release... it might be effective!'
Darui was quickly thinking of countermeasures in his mind, and a group of people moved forward at high speed, aiming to stop Tosaka!
However... what they didn't expect was.
Tosaka just glanced at them lightly, turned to look at the Gedo Statue wreaking havoc on the battlefield, with a cold expression on his face.
"I, Tosaka Tsukishita, will let you feel the cold!"
His footsteps instantly took a dozens of steps on the ice.
