Upon hearing this, Mu immediately began to flatter Tobirama Senju.
"Tobirama Senju, will the sky not have winter because people are afraid of the cold? Will the earth not be vast because people are afraid of distance?"
"Will a gentleman not do what he needs to do just because some petty people are chattering and gossiping nearby, making irresponsible remarks?"
Mu's words struck Tobirama Senju like a thunderclap.
Tobirama Senju's eyes sparkled.
That's right! He is a gentleman, why should he care about the irresponsible remarks of those petty Uchiha?
He must persevere, for Konoha, he must clear out all unstable factors!
Even if the unstable factors in Konoha are the two founding Clans of Konoha!
He used to think whether he should not be prejudiced against the Uchiha.
But after Mu's words, Tobirama Senju had made up his mind.
The Uchiha Clan is an unstable factor.
An outsider could see it, but his elder brother, the Kage, did not.
"Tobirama Senju, although I haven't spent much time in Konoha, I believe that Konoha can operate smoothly as it does today, firstly due to the immense power of Hashirama and Madara Uchiha, and secondly, your absolute intellect!"
"The two of them have strength, and you have the intellect to stabilize everything. It is said that conquering the world is easy, but governing it is difficult, and you happen to make up for this point."
Mu praised with a faint smile.
Tobirama Senju smiled slightly in his heart; these words were indeed true.
Since the Village was founded, most matters have been arranged by him, and various governance tasks have been personally handled by him.
Hōzuki Gengetsu, who was eating nearby, gave Mu a strange glance.
Mu was a bit off today.
In the past, Mu was always taciturn, but now he was actively praising Tobirama Senju.
What kind of trick was this guy Mu brewing again…
However, Hōzuki Gengetsu didn't want to bother.
After the banquet ended, it was time to send off the Konoha and Hidden Mist delegations.
The Konoha delegation had left early.
"Mu, when will we meet again?"
At the Village gate, Hōzuki Gengetsu turned his head with a faint smile and looked at Mu.
"Hehe… Just make sure you don't die…"
Mu chuckled twice and said.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely live longer than you."
Hōzuki Gengetsu patted Mu's shoulder and said.
After seeing off the two visiting delegations, Mu rubbed his forehead, feeling exceptionally exhausted.
He got up and flew back to his secret mountain cave.
"I should also appropriately cultivate some scientific talents to help me research Hashirama's Chakra. This Wood Release has some of Hashirama's Chakra attached to it."
Mu looked at the wood in the petri dish and pondered slightly.
He was only good at researching Ninjutsu, but he didn't understand science.
Let alone cultivating and researching cells, he might not even know a single scientific principle.
The reason he asked for Hashirama's wood was to try to rely on Iwagakure's powerful Village machinery to cultivate scientific talents, just like Orochimaru of Konoha Village.
But this would take time; it was impossible to cultivate scientific talents in just a few days.
"Sigh… I don't know how old I'll be by then…"
Mu sighed from the bottom of his heart.
His strength had already reached its individual peak; he couldn't break through any further, feeling like his whip was too short to reach.
He used to think that creating Dust Release was amazing.
He felt that even if he wasn't the Ninja World's ceiling, he was at least a T1 level in the Ninja World.
Only after receiving that cluster of memories did Mu realize his insignificance.
In the later stages, he was just a roadside nobody.
Just as Mu began to research how to make the clones release Dust Release,
Mu's perception stirred.
He suddenly detected a layer of Chakra fluctuations nearby.
"Who is it?"
Mu's alarm bells instantly rang.
He immediately shook out a clone to investigate, while his main body quietly left using Earth Release.
It wasn't because Mu was cowardly, but because he was cautious.
Caution is the parent of safety; in this Ninja World, a slight carelessness can lead to one's demise, even if his current strength is among the strongest.
After stepping out,
Mu, guided by his perception, immediately found the source of the Chakra fluctuations.
"Caw caw caw~~~"
A harsh cry came, piercing and sharp.
Following the sound, he saw a crow perched on a branch of a withered tree.
This crow was vastly different from ordinary crows.
Its body was much larger than a normal crow, with crimson eyes, and its entire body was as black as ink, like a ghost. Its feathers were smooth as silk, shimmering with a faint light under the moonlight.
Mu's gaze sharpened, and he saw the tomoe on the crow's neck.
Looking down, he found that this crow actually had three legs!
"A mutated species?"
Mu hesitated for a moment, then sensed again.
He found that this crow emitted a strange Chakra fluctuation.
It was a type of Chakra he had never encountered before.
"Caw caw caw~~"
The crow turned its head and looked directly at Mu.
"Let me test you."
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Mu quickly formed hand signs, directly testing it.
A powerful blast of Wind Release fiercely attacked the crow.
When the Wind Release was about to hit the crow, a crimson shield suddenly appeared in front of the crow, dissolving the Wind Release into nothingness.
Mu frowned; this crow was not simple.
"Caw caw caw!!"
As Mu was momentarily stunned, the three-legged crow actually took flight.
Mu decisively pursued it.
Anyway, his current body was a clone, so he wasn't afraid of encountering any mishaps.
Mu activated his flight ability and tracked the three-legged crow all the way.
He chased it until he reached a withered forest.
The moment Mu entered the withered forest, he felt as if he had entered another dimension.
"This is…"
Mu's gaze finally landed on a stone tablet where the crow had landed.
Mu focused his eyes.
"Yatagarasu Sacred Land?"
"You, this crow, wouldn't be trying to lead me to see this stone tablet, would you?"
Mu looked at this strange crow.
The next second, Mu suddenly felt a special energy violently invade his body.
It burst forth like the mouth of the Yellow River after the gates are opened, gushing out in an instant!
"This…"
Mu was greatly alarmed, and immediately manipulated his Chakra to resist this invading foreign Chakra.
Whoosh!!!
Immediately after, a large number of feathers suddenly emerged from the left side of Mu's body, but then quickly retracted into his body. The next second, crow feathers emerged from another part of his body.
Mu even showed signs of growing a third leg!
"This… This wouldn't be Sage Mode, would it!?"
