Ice Release (氷遁, Hyouton) is an advanced chakra nature which is composed of both the Water Release and Wind Release base natures.

A versatile nature, though its techniques are normally cast through kneading chakra in the stomach and spitting it from the mouth, it can also be formed from pre-existing water sources. This includes manipulating the moisture in the air to launch surprise attacks from nearly anywhere around them.

Kakusan (Diffusion) - 450 Kekkei Genkai

Kneading chakra in the mouth, the spread spits a vast number of crystalline ice needles in a spray that appears more a cloud of ice than anything. Used typically as a diversion, they aren’t particularly lethal, even if maximum effectiveness is achieved.

Hyoukinko (Ice Vault) - 950 Kekkei Genkai

Using the moisture in the air, the user manipulates its temperature, turning it to ice that amalgamates into a solid circular form of ice. This can be used as both a barrier and as a refuge, able to host up to three people inside.

Hyourou (Ice Prison) - 1,250 Kekkei Genkai

The user spits a stream of ice-cold water at the target’s feet, which then quickly bursts upward and then crystallizes, becoming a pillar of solid ice to entrap all caught within its reach. This pillar can be up to 5m in diameter, trapping all within this area.

Ikkaku Hakugei (One-Horned White Whale) - 8,500 Kekkei Genkai

Due to the sheer amount of ice being created through this technique, it can only be created from a large amount of pre-existing water. Slamming their hands to the surface of the water, the user creates a massive whale composed of white ice that bursts from the surface.

A grossly enlarged iteration of the animal it copies, this monolithic whale spans over 60m in length and is immensely heavy. Large enough to swallow entire buildings in its mouth, the whale delivers one attack to try and eat everything it is directed at before freezing over. Anything caught within is trapped inside.
