If I'm in a hurry, and you try your best to respond as soon as possible, we won't have a problem.
- Ice is created when water reaches freezing or below freezing temperatures, thus creating a solidified material in which varies in density, toughness and thickness in many different way. The Ice release element is obviously just that, when you are able to mix two of the five basic elemental chakra natures, which consists of water and wind.
- Explained that in point number one.
- Ice release is strong against its own elements needed to form it. Those being wind and water alike. Logically, Ice release may further freeze water attacks from elsewhere other than yourself, it is able to penetrate through its liquid counterpart and able to stop it with brute force. Wind simply makes ice colder than what it already is. Nothing more, nothing less.
- Ice release is weak to Earth, Lightning and combinations of both. Earth can obviously overpower and shatter ice whilst the frequency of lightning is able to cut through it, as it does to earth techniques. Ice is solidified, just like earth.
- The one and only (canon) character known and shown to use the kekkei genkai of ice release is one of my favorite characters: Haku Yuki of Kirigakure and
he is the prodigy of the Yuki clan. Those of which hold the power to manipulate and create ice.
