A large, disk-shaped white radiance suddenly appeared in the sky above the Soul Society Court!
A beam of light shot up from the ground, piercing the disk of light in the sky!
At the same time, a pure white wave of light, surging and dancing like a massive tide, emerged.
The light wave spread rapidly, freezing everything in its path!
The streets, the buildings.
Even the Tailed Beast Ball just one meter away from Rukia, and the Four-Tails behind it!
In less than a second, a sight like a vast, azure glacier dominated everyone's vision!
In front of the projection, everyone stared dumbfounded at this sudden reversal!
A deathly silence fell!
After a long moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's lips trembled as he said, "The Tailed Beast Ball... was frozen?!"
Just how terrifying must the power be to instantly freeze a Tailed Beast Ball that had already detonated?!
Gulp!
He swallowed hard, his pupils trembling as he stared at Rukia, whose appearance had drastically changed!
Her hair, eyes, and entire body had turned pure white.
Her original black and white shinigami uniform had transformed into a silver-white Divine Robe decorated with white ribbons, and she wore a white floral hair ornament.
Coupled with her expression of looking down upon everything.
Goddess!
She looked like a Goddess!
This title instantly flooded Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, refusing to dissipate.
Rukia, holding the transparent Sode no Shirayuki, looked exactly like the Ice and Snow Goddess judging the mortal world!
All those she deemed guilty would be frozen by her!
"Is this... the power of Sode no Shirayuki's Bankai..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered, his eyes glazed over.
Now, he finally understood what Rukia had just said.
The incantation for Sode no Shirayuki's Bankai!
"Is this the true power of Sode no Shirayuki..."
"Neither the Tailed Beast Ball nor the Biju can escape Sode no Shirayuki's freezing power!"
How could a human possibly use this kind of power?
How could any person wield this?!
And why did it have to be someone from the Uzushigakure who used it!!!
A sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart. What else could possibly restrain the Uzushigakure?
Senju Compound.
Uzumaki Mito sighed softly, "The Uzushigakure has grown stronger again."
The Nine-Tailed snorted disdainfully, "Hmph, that Four-Tails is a disgrace to the Bijus, getting frozen into a popsicle by a little girl!"
Land of Wind, Sunagakure.
The Third Kazekage's eyes suddenly became bloodshot as he stared intensely at the scene on the projection.
In the blink of an eye, the situation had suddenly reversed!
The Tailed Beast Ball, which was unrivaled, unstoppable, and capable of easily destroying a Ninja Village, was actually frozen?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have scoffed if someone told him this story.
What kind of Ninja World joke are you playing?
That was a Tailed Beast Ball!
Since the passing of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, no one had been able to withstand a Tailed Beast Ball!
The only option was to flee!
And only to flee!
Once a Tailed Beast Ball detonated, an entire Ninja Village would be affected!
And now, he had personally witnessed the Tailed Beast Ball, capable of destroying an entire Ninja Village, being frozen by someone?!
The Third Kazekage didn't notice that his body was trembling slightly.
It was fear!
It was the instinctive fear of his body!
Land of Earth, Iwagakure.
Ōnoki's eyes were slightly unfocused; he seemed unable to believe what he saw.
"Did I... see that incorrectly?"
Was he getting old, his vision failing?
What did he see? He actually saw the Tailed Beast Ball turn into a giant ice ball!
He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and only when the scene remained unchanged did a silent shock rise in his heart!
Not only the Tailed Beast Ball, but even the Four-Tails had become an ice sculpture!
This immense power!
Could it be that this Captain named Rukia had already reached the level of Uchiha Madara?
Thinking back to the asura of the shinobi world he had once witnessed, he felt as if he was reliving the days when he was suppressed by Konoha, Uchiha Madara, and Senju Hashirama!
During those days, it was hard even to breathe!
And now, this Rukia gave him that very same feeling!
Is the Uzushigakure about to become the new strongest power in the Ninja World?
Land of Lightning.
When all the citizens saw this scene, their hearts sank.
The Land of Lightning's rescue team was dwindling rapidly.
And how were they supposed to fight against a Move like this, which resembled a miracle!
Their eyes were filled with confusion.
Could the Raikage really still be saved?
If they had been full of confidence before, after watching a few battles, they suddenly felt that hope was slim.
Just as they were hopelessly immersed in unspeakable shock, the scene in the projection changed once more.
A gentle gust of wind blew past.
Everything and everyone frozen by Rukia turned into ice shards and drifted away with the wind.
The Tailed Beast Ball, carried by the force of the wind, slowly dissipated from top to bottom.
This scene shocked everyone yet again.
Sarutobi Hiruzen mumbled, "The Tailed Beast Ball was frozen into dust?"
"Then wouldn't the Four-Tails also..."
"No way!"
Ōnoki suddenly stood up, staring intently at the ice sculpture that was the Four-Tails.
"It can't be! The Four-Tails definitely won't die just like that!!"
It had been frozen several times before, and hadn't it successfully broken free every time?
It must be able to this time too!
Ōnoki held onto hope in his heart, looking expectantly at the ice sculpture of the Four-Tails.
Move! Move already!!
Shhhk—
As if hearing Ōnoki's inner plea, the Four-Tails successfully moved.
However, to his despair, the Four-Tails met the same fate as the Tailed Beast Ball.
From head to tail, it turned into ice dust and was carried away by the wind.
The expression on its face the second before it turned to dust was still a ferocious snarl with its mouth wide open.
It was clear that the Four-Tails hadn't even had time to react when it was frozen!
