Without Ashveil's defensive barrier, Deidara and Tobi had no chance of surviving a Tailed Beast Ball strike. Fear gripped them as Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, prepared his attack.
Tobi, hearing Deidara's urgent warning, panicked and activated his spatial ability, while Deidara propelled his clay bird upward, accelerating into the sky.
Just as the Tailed Beast Ball neared, a faint smile curved Ashveil's lips. With precise timing, he activated the Glint Devil Fruit ability, instantly transforming into a blur of golden speed, evading the ball by mere inches.
Tobi's jaw dropped in astonishment. The move reminded him of the legendary Minato Namikaze, the original Yellow Flash of the Leaf, renowned for unmatched speed and precision. How could Ashveil replicate such a technique?
Before Tobi could process it, Ashveil had already positioned himself behind the Six-Tails. Utakata sensed the sudden presence and twisted his neck, instinctively forming a new Tailed Beast Ball in his mouth.
Even as a Jinchuriki, Utakata was unprepared for Ashveil's speed and control. Nothing the Six-Tails tried could touch him.
Suddenly, Ashveil's body radiated a freezing white energy. The cold was so intense that the surrounding air crystallized instantly. Frost spread outward, engulfing the battlefield.
Deidara and Tobi, hovering above, gawked at the terrifying phenomenon.
"Deidara-san, what kind of energy is that?" Tobi shouted, eyes wide with disbelief.
Deidara, equally stunned, muttered, "It must be an Ice-style Bloodline Limit… such chilling power, I've never seen anything like it."
Tobi smirked knowingly, understanding the lethal potential of ice, but his surprise remained.
The Six-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, moments from impact, was instantly frozen by Ashveil's energy. Its own attack turned against it. The massive sphere of chakra solidified, immobilized, leaving Foam defenseless.
Ashveil struck with precision. The frozen Tailed Beast Ball detonated while trapped, shattering Foam's mouth and propelling the beast across the battlefield. Mountains, forests, and rivers crumbled under the impact, leaving a massive crater thousands of meters wide.
Silence followed the devastation.
Deidara stared, wide-eyed. "Ashveil is a monster. Only someone with supreme skill and boldness could turn a Tailed Beast Ball into a self-inflicted disaster."
"Is it over?" Tobi asked, disbelief etched across his face.
Deidara narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the frozen Tailed Beast. He hesitated before answering, "Perhaps… but we can't be certain."
Ashveil, still composed, slapped Deidara lightly across the face. "It's not over yet, Deidara."
The Six-Tails, regaining consciousness, shattered the ice encasing it and rose once more, its roar echoing with renewed fury.
Ashveil sighed softly. "After all, it's a Tailed Beast. One attack is never enough to fully subdue it."
Deidara's expression darkened, realizing that even with Ashveil's overwhelming skill, the battle with a Tailed Beast was far from finished.
