"Hozuki, stop being stubborn. Since Master dared to go, it means he is confident. Just wait quietly for Master to return..."
"That's right, you should rest first. If Old Tsuchikage is in trouble, I, Kakuzu, will directly go to the battlefield as a civilian!"
Ōnoki and Kakuzu were holding back Hōzuki Gengetsu, who was about to follow Mu onto the battlefield.
Both of them earnestly tried to persuade him.
However, Hōzuki Gengetsu remained persistent.
"Are you two lovesick or something?"
"I insist!"
"That guy Mu has already gone, I want to go too!"
"Back in the Takigakure, Mu, several other Kage, and I first beat Uchiha Madara, then killed Senju Hashirama. Now, are we unable to deal with these juniors?"
"Even if it means death, I want to experience that passion with Mu one more time!"
Hōzuki Gengetsu put on his battle suit, a high-collared trench coat. Although his face was aged, his eyes were like knives!
Gone was his previous cynicism, replaced by battle fervor!
At this moment, Hōzuki Gengetsu seemed to have instantly transformed from a joker back into a battle maniac!
"No! Master told me to take good care of you!"
Ōnoki and Kakuzu stood side by side, blocking Hōzuki Gengetsu.
"Move aside!"
...
"Lord Madara!!"
"Bad news! Latest intel, Mu, despite his age, has actually entered the battle!"
"Iwagakure has publicly announced that the Second Tsuchikage will personally participate in the battle!"
White Zetsu reported.
"That old guy is still alive!"
Uchiha Madara's withered mouth slightly opened, and his cloudy eyes showed shock.
Damn it! That old guy!
He himself had to rely on the Gedo Statue to maintain his life and barely survive.
That old guy could actually still participate in the battle!
"That's right, that's right, that old guy even wrote a poem!"
"He even said something about an old warhorse in the stable, with a will to travel a thousand miles; a martyr in his twilight years, but his ambition remains..."
White Zetsu mumbled.
Uchiha Madara closed his eyes after listening.
His previous disdain for Mu had completely disappeared!
It was replaced by admiration, and in his eyes, there was only the acceptance of defeat.
Perhaps, this is the Will of Stone!
Completely disregarding life and death, fully immersed in this gamble!
Uchiha Madara couldn't help but sigh. Very few people from that era were still alive.
Not to mention powerful and old individuals.
Uchiha Madara really wanted to say that he and Mu were simply the Ninja World's legendary 'Survival Kings'!
(At this time, the true 'Survival King' ↓)
(Black Zetsu, who has lived for thousands of years: Hahahaha, to revive Mother, the Sage regrets, but I, Black Zetsu, do not!)
(Isshiki Otsutsuki Jigen, who has also lived for thousands of years: Hehehe, want to compare who lives longer? I can still stand tall in the morning.)
"A martyr in his twilight years with a will to travel a thousand miles, excellent! Excellent! Simply excellent!"
A surge of passion ignited in Uchiha Madara's heart.
He was so moved by Mu's few lines of poetry that he felt a bit of passion.
But then, his aged body made Uchiha Madara feel powerless and helpless.
"Send the Hidden Mist's Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and the Third Mizukage to the battlefield. This time, we will surround Mu and kill him!"
"Tell the Ninja World, no matter who fights Mu, I, Uchiha Madara, must back them up!"
Uchiha Madara slightly raised his arm.
Going all out is the greatest respect for one's opponent.
.....
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two lights intersected in the air!
"Flying Thunder God Technique!" x 2
Minato Namikaze couldn't help but feel a burst of astonishment as he looked at Mu, whose Flying Thunder God Technique mastery was above his own.
He only knew that this Old Tsuchikage was skilled in Dust Release.
He didn't expect his Flying Thunder God Technique to be so astonishing as well.
But... how did this Old Tsuchikage learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?
(The transaction between Mu and Senju Tobirama was a secret transaction, so others didn't know about it.)
"Rasengan!"
Minato Namikaze instantly condensed a Rasengan and attacked Mu.
"Using my own technique against me?"
Mu instantly dodged, grabbed Minato Namikaze's wrist with one hand, and at the same time quickly formed hand signs.
"Weight Added Rock Technique!"
Minato Namikaze's pupils contracted, and then he felt his arm instantly become heavy.
"This technique!"
Along with the Weight Added Rock Technique, Minato Namikaze's speed suddenly decreased, and his body became heavy.
Mu, without rushing, directly reached out and grabbed Minato Namikaze's neck.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Whoosh!
Minato Namikaze instantly moved to the nearest Flying Thunder God Technique point.
He knelt on the ground, gasping for air.
Mu frowned. It seemed Minato Namikaze had hidden Flying Thunder God Technique markers.
With a thought, Mu instantly expanded his perception.
He sensed all the Flying Thunder God Technique markers around him.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Minato Namikaze hadn't even had time to breathe when Mu's Dust Release attacked again!
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Whoosh!
Minato Namikaze was forced to move multiple times.
Mu frowned slightly: "Konoha's reinforcements arrived so quickly..."
Sure enough, not long after,
Suddenly, multiple kunai shot out from the sky, followed by a large number of shuriken pouring in from all directions.
Mu had already sensed a Chakra approaching.
As expected, an elite Jonin with a square face, wearing a Konoha vest, appeared with a Body Flicker Technique.
The exquisite kunai and shuriken throwing just now were from him.
Uchiha Fugaku!
"It's Mr. Fugaku!"
Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief. This was currently the strongest Uchiha.
"Uchiha Fugaku..."
Mu remembered this person, but there was no record of him fighting in the original work, so his true strength was undetermined (he had Mangekyo in the TV anime, but not in the manga. I'll set it as not having it here).
"I didn't expect Old Tsuchikage to know my name, it is truly an honor..."
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Mu with a vigilant expression.
Mu ignored him, instead sensing multiple other Chakras approaching.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura arrived with the Body Flicker Technique.
"Old Tsuchikage, long time no see!"
"When I heard you were participating in the battle, I rushed over!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi wore armor and held a Ruyi Staff.
Danzo Shimura looked at Mu with a sinister expression.
Whoosh!!!
A flash of lightning passed, and the Third Raikage, holding the Amber Purifying Pot, arrived as a bolt of lightning!
"Mu, you're still as impressive as ever!"
The Third Raikage looked at Mu with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
