Ice Release (氷遁, Hyōton, Viz: Ice Style) is a nature transformation kekkei genkai, a combination of water and wind. The Land of Water's Yuki Clan was feared for the power of their Ice Release, forcing its members to go into hiding to escape persecution. In Kakashi Hiden, Kahyō and Rahyō are ice users whose family was conquered by Kirigakure decades earlier.
Overview[]
Those with this kekkei genkai can create and control temperatures in their vicinity. As demonstrated with Haku, users could make mirrors of ice that they are able to enter and instantly travel between. These ice mirrors are also resistant to fire, experiencing little to no melting despite the heat. Furthermore, a ice dome used for defense is capable of withstanding the impact of several explosions.
As demonstrated with Kahyō, users can plant ice particles on targets, causing them to freeze to death if they don't constantly use their chakra to keep themselves warm. They can also encase their limbs in ice to allow for both offensive and defensive purposes.
Since the Ice Release users are able to control the moisture in the air, they are able to create projectiles from thin air, such as shards of ice. An Ice Release user's presence can lower their surroundings' temperature, causing snow to fall in the immediate vicinity. Similarly, the user may be able to lower their own body temperature to hide their movements from thermal sensors as demonstrated by Ryōgi.
Those without this kekkei genkai can also use Ice Release, but require pre-existing ice or snow.
Drawbacks[]
Users may potential with ce Release may be dependent on the moisture in the air, preventing them from forming ice in dry conditions.
Trivia[]
- In Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, ninja from Yukigakure use Ice Release by manipulating pre-existing ice and snow. Their Ice Release is not a kekkei genkai, as Kakashi Hatake is able to copy it with his Sharingan. Most of these Ice Release jutsu use the Dog hand seal.
- In the original Naruto anime, Renga crystallises the water vapour around him into ice. This is never mentioned to be Ice Release.* In Sasuke Shinden: The Teacher's Star Pupil, Sasuke Uchiha combines Water Release and Wind Release to create a makeshift Ice Release, similar to Darui's Lightning Release: Wave of Inspiration.
