Ice Release: Deep Freeze

The user places a hand on the surface in question, whether that be a person or inanimate object, and surges a large amount of ice nature chakra into the entity.

If used on the ground, it generates a rapidly growing layer of ice over the surface of the ground that spreads out from the user in a circular wave.

If used on a body of water, the speed at which the technique spreads increases exponentially, causing the water and any entities within to flash freeze in just a few seconds.

If used on a living entity, the most immediate place of contact freezes thoroughly (down to the microscopic level) and then spreads from the origin point to freeze the rest of the being.
