After the user performs the necessary hand signs, they place both their hands on the ground and begin to release chakra. The ice based chakra allows for a thin layer of ice to cover the ground. By making it icy, the opponent will have trouble retaining their balance because the ground is slippery which gives the user the advantage. This technique is often used to counter a charging enemy by causing the ground beneath them to become slippery and cause them to fall. Those who are proficient in the use of ice based ninjutstu can train themselves to use their chakra to slide around on the ice, similar to the Water Walking technique.
