"Oh no!"
"It's Mu's special ability!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed, and he secretly cursed, "This is bad!"
He remembered his teacher's intelligence report on Mu from back then.
Among them, Mu had an ability that allowed him to conceal himself in an invisible state.
Even the most skilled Perception Ninja couldn't detect him, and not even the Mangekyo Sharingan or Byakugan could see through it!
The next second, a pair of hands instantly appeared behind the Third Raikage!
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
The Third Raikage was startled. He pulled back sharply, trying to evade the sudden attack.
However, what he never expected was that Mu's Dust Release, as if alive, suddenly branched out like a bolt of lightning, striking directly at half of his body!
Only a loud bang was heard, "Buzz!!!!"
The Dust Release emitted a sharp, deafening roar!
Immediately after, a horrifying scene unfolded—half of the Third Raikage's body instantly disintegrated under the impact of the Dust Release, flesh and blood splattering, and blood gushing out like a fountain!
That was close! Fortunately, this attack didn't hit the side with his heart, otherwise the Third Raikage would have been instantly killed on the spot, without even a shred of resistance!
"Ah!!!"
The Third Raikage let out a bloodcurdling scream, his body trembling violently from the intense pain.
But he didn't fall. Instead, he gritted his teeth, endured the excruciating pain of having his upper body destroyed, and used all his strength to quickly flee the scene!
Pfft!! Blood splattered like rain, forming a shocking trail of blood behind him.
Finally, the Third Raikage couldn't hold on any longer, falling to his knees and collapsing heavily onto the ground.
"Die."
Mu condensed a compressed mini Rasengan at his fingertip, then shot it out directly!
Whoosh!!
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
A curtain of water appeared out of thin air in front of the Third Raikage, blocking the Rasengan for him.
Just then, the Third Mizukage arrived at the scene with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!
"Who are these guys?"
Hanzou scratched his head, seeing the Third Mizukage but momentarily unable to recall who he was.
"Hiss, who was this old man again?"
Even the Third Raikage and Hiruzen Sarutobi, among others, were momentarily stunned the instant they saw this person.
It was normal for them not to recognize him immediately.
The Third Mizukage had never left Hidden Mist Village, so he was only known by reputation, never seen in person. Although cameras were common, Hidden Mist was still backward and isolated.
However, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were very well-known.
"This is our Lord Third Mizukage!"
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist announced loudly.
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others suddenly understood.
Mu slightly frowned, looking at the dull Third Mizukage.
This guy doesn't seem human, like he's being controlled.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others didn't have anyone skilled in perception, so they didn't sense it.
But a perception Ninja like Mu could sense it right away.
"Heh heh! Mu, your doomsday has arrived!"
"It's twelve against one for us; we can wear you down even if it takes forever!"
Danzo Shimura felt much more confident now that so many people had arrived.
Mu was expressionless; he didn't care about twelve people.
They were just a disorganized mob.
What he was worried about was not having enough Chakra.
Unless these people stood in a line and let him hit them with Dust Release.
But that was clearly impossible.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, the Third Raikage, Hanzou, the Third Mizukage, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist—these people were already the top combat forces in the Ninja World.
"It seems I'll have to bear this alone!"
Mu's expression was calm; it was no big deal.
At worst, he could pull out Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror from his pants.
He could take his time and kill these twelve people.
Always have more confidence!
Just as Mu was about to activate Sage Mode and go all out,
"Who said you're alone?!"
"Mu! We're behind you!"
An old but wild voice came from the sky.
Three figures were seen descending from the sky!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hōzuki Gengetsu! Ōnoki! Kakuzu!
"Why are you here!?"
Mu's eyes widened; he hadn't expected these three to come.
"Teacher, I couldn't persuade Uncle Hōzuki!"
Ōnoki said helplessly.
"And we weren't at ease letting Old Man Hōzuki come alone, so we came along too…" Kakuzu also said helplessly.
"Nonsense! What about the Village!?"
Mu sternly scolded him.
"Relax! I brought out Shichiba Fuma to oversee the situation."
Hōzuki Gengetsu waved his hand and said.
"Shichiba Fuma!? How old is he!? Can he still do it?"
Mu couldn't help but wipe sweat from his brow.
He remembered this old guy being a veteran of three reigns, right?
"Don't worry, Teacher, don't underestimate the wisdom of the elderly!"
"Besides, Higashi Shinjin has already returned to defend, so it won't be too bad…"
Ōnoki comforted him.
...
At this moment in Iwagakure, Shichiba Fuma.
"Elder Shichiba, please take a look; this is my defense policy…"
Higashi Shinjin handed his strategy to Shichiba Fuma, who was on his sickbed.
Shichiba Fuma looked at it for a few moments, then mumbled incoherently,
"I believe Iwagakure's policy should be paired with concrete number 42, because the length of this kunai can easily affect the spacing of shuriken, thereby affecting global warming, you know?"
Shichiba Fuma said, disoriented.
Higashi Shinjin's eyes widened. What in the world was this old man talking about?
Old man, do you even hear what you're saying?
And this is a veteran of three reigns?
"Old man, please sober up! There's a Ninja World War going on, everyone is fighting!"
Higashi Shinjin shouted into Shichiba Fuma's ear.
Shichiba Fuma still shook his head: "No!"
Higashi Shinjin: "..."
.....
"Four against twelve? Interesting!"
Kakuzu coldly swept his gaze over the few people opposite him, and the Earth Grudge Fear on his back began to throb excitedly.
"Teacher, you've protected me since I was little. This time, I'll fight alongside you!"
Ōnoki said, floating in the air.
"Mu, a long-awaited team battle!"
Hōzuki Gengetsu bit his finger and immediately performed the Summoning Jutsu, summoning a clam.
"Very well, if that's the case, then let's fight!"
Mu accepted it, fully immersing himself in the battle.
"Mu, I created the Three Styles of Hozuki Mu out of my longing for you. Now, watch me!"
Hōzuki Gengetsu's lips curled into a smile.
Mu was stunned: "Wait, what did you say?!"
Before Mu could react, Hōzuki Gengetsu began his attack.
"Thoughtless Fist, Thoughts Gush Forth!!"
"Mindless Sword, Unforgettable Thoughts!!"
"Hozuki Mu Palm, Lifetimes!!"
"Dust Release in Brilliance, Detachment of the Primitive World!!"
"Steam Explosion in Extreme Cold, Steam Impending Danger!!"
"Solo Dance in Dense Fog, Steam Release: Vapor Tower!!"
"True Body in Nothingness, Dustless Bewildering Cover!!"
