Kuroda was racing through the streets of Konoha. They were strangely empty. And those that he did come across were frozen solid, just like the guards at the front gate had been. This was bad. Very, very bad. And it seemed like the closer the he got to the center of the village, the colder it would get. Had the enemy really gotten this far into the village undetected? Suddenly, the cold feeling lifted, and the fog seemed to be behaving more like natural fog would. He heard creaking, and water pipes began bursting. "What the hell?!" The pipes were bursting, but the water inside them was all frozen. There was only one place that someone could even begin to freeze this much water. The river.<br/><br/>Kuroda arrived at the bank of the river moments later, and looked around. He could see a figure sitting on top of the ice. He could sense the chakra pouring out from her. There was no doubt, she was the one responsible for this. The mist, the frozen people and lake, everything. What really got to him though is that there was no water release technique he had ever seen or heard of that could actually freeze it. The only cases he had known about were rare kekkai genkais that mixed two chakra types to create ice releases. And this person had frozen nearly all of the water in the village. Whoever this was, this person was very powerful, that much was certain.<br/><br/>Still, Kuroda couldn't waste anytime. Something like freezing the lake and river must've used a lot of chakra, regardless of how powerful this enemy may be. And even so, if he started a battle with her, other shinobi would likely rush to the scene. In a blur, he flew through a series of hand seals. He took a deep breath, and puffed his cheeks a bit.<br/><br/><strong>Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!</strong><br/><br/>He blew out, releasing a large fireball that was speeding towards the figure on the lake. He wasn't done though. Even as he was released the fireball, he was already working on a second set of hand seals.<br/><br/><strong>Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm!</strong><br/><br/>He clapped his hands together, and a gust of wind surged forward. This burst of wind caught up to the fireball he had just created moments before. The air fed the fireball, increasing it's size, as well as increasing it's speed.
