"Mu, latest intelligence!"
An Iwagakure Anbu rushed in to report.
Mu, who was handling official duties, nodded slightly: "Speak!"
"Latest intelligence, the Nine-Tailed you've been looking for was spotted in the Takigakure yesterday!"
"According to the intelligence, a few days ago, the Land of Lightning to the north dispatched Kumogakure elites to attempt to capture the Nine-Tailed, but ultimately failed."
"I heard that Kumogakure's Gold and Silver Brothers also perished in the Nine-Tailed's mouth!"
The Iwagakure Anbu reported quickly.
Mu narrowed his eyes and immediately gave an order.
"Depart immediately!"
"Yes!"
Mu put on his armor.
He left a clone in advance to gather Sage Chakra.
This way, once he dispelled the clone, he could instantly enter Sage Mode.
This was a method he devised based on Uzumaki Naruto's approach in the original work.
"Right, call Ōnoki."
Mu hadn't paid attention to Ōnoki these past few days.
Mainly, he was too busy. After he gave Ōnoki the Ninjutsu Rasengan, he didn't bother with him anymore.
He should also take Ōnoki to see the world.
To witness a Tailed Beast and broaden his horizons.
"Shichiba Fuma, you lead the Anbu and wait for me at the gate. I'll be there shortly."
Mu looked at Shichiba Fuma.
After speaking, Mu directly flew away.
He arrived at Ōnoki's house.
Although Ōnoki and Ishikawa were grandfather and grandson, Ōnoki had moved out to live independently early on and did not live with Ishikawa.
"Hmm? Why is the door closed?"
Mu frowned tightly, looking at Ōnoki's tightly shut door.
Mu subconsciously activated his perception to investigate the situation inside.
However, the sounds coming from inside instantly stunned Mu!
"Hehehe… Iwagakure Sister Yu… my favorite…"
"So representative, you are my Ōnoki's mother…"
Mu's expression was shaken, his pupils flashing with shock.
Wasn't his Iwagakure Sister Yu an old woman who sold pancakes at the Iwagakure gate?
That woman was even stronger than the Raikage.
She could even use Ōnoki as a water cup…
He didn't expect Ōnoki to have such a hobby.
Good, good, good.
This explains why Ōnoki is so short, his son is tall and strapping, and his granddaughter is even a legged shadow.
Alas! Mu remembered an old saying from that memory!
Lust is the root of all evil!
"So, should I go in or pretend I didn't see anything?"
Mu hesitated. What if he scared his disciple into impotence?
However, thinking of the Anbu waiting at the gate to capture the Nine-Tailed, Mu made a decisive choice!
"Bang bang bang!!!"
"Open the door!"
Mu's voice fell on Ōnoki's ears like thunder!
"Teacher! Wait for me five minutes!!!"
Ōnoki inside the house shouted in a panic.
Mu's face darkened!
He had already arrived, not only did he not delay the flight, but he dared to force a takeoff!?
Ōnoki, I, Mu, really need to elbow you!
Bang!
Mu elbowed the door open.
He saw this desperate Iwagakure legendary captain.
Suppression, Desperation, Breakthrough, Self-Proof, Peak, Shackles, Left and Right, Road Management....
"Ah! Teacher, don't come in ah ah ah ah!!!"
"Teacher! Listen to me explain!!!"
"I was just practicing Rasengan, I almost succeeded!"
Ōnoki shouted with a panicked and desperate expression.
However, his eyes and the blanket on his body betrayed him.
"Come, come, come!"
"Tell me, you were practicing Rasengan in bed?"
Facing Mu's questioning, Ōnoki's explanation was clearly pale and weak, yet Ōnoki stubbornly insisted that he was training his control over Chakra nature!
"Alright, alright! Then stop practicing for now! Come with me to catch the Nine-Tailed!"
Mu's face darkened. He didn't have time to argue with Ōnoki about this.
"Okay! Teacher, I'll put on my pants first…"
...
Boom!
Inside the valley.
The Nine-Tailed emerged from the forest, clutching its backside.
"Damn it, that old man Six Paths really has a major illness, giving Chakra to humans, and that brat Indra, even teaching these bastards hand signs!"
The Nine-Tailed's face was gloomy, its fox head all messy.
There was wetness left by Water Release, and scorched fur left by Fire Release…
Half a month ago, it was resting in the Land of Lightning.
It had originally wanted to catch up with that Guy, Gyuki, but was suddenly attacked by Kumogakure troops who came to capture it.
Fortunately, it was more skilled at the time.
It successfully repelled Kumogakure.
And successfully ate the two leaders.
But it didn't feel good after eating them.
It always felt like something was gnawing at its stomach.
It felt much better now…
"Cunning humans!"
The Nine-Tailed spat.
Then it prepared to find a quiet place to sleep. In this long period of time, it only passed the time by sleeping.
Mu, who was rapidly approaching, quickly located the Nine-Tailed using his perception.
Such a large mass of Chakra, it was hard not to notice.
"Prepare for battle!"
"First, use Earth Release together to trap the Nine-Tailed. The rest, await my command! Ōnoki, you observe from a distance, do not approach."
Mu quickly gave orders. At the same time, the Nine-Tailed, who had just finished using the restroom, also discovered Mu and the others.
The Nine-Tailed's eyes widened. This stance, this formation.
This couldn't be another attempt to capture it, could it?
"Roar!!!"
The Nine-Tailed roared at Mu and the others, trying to scare them away.
However, Mu, upon hearing this roar, not only did not leave, but accelerated!
"Little old man, you dare to huff at me?"
Mu didn't expect this Hachimi to dare to huff at him proactively.
"Anbu Team One attacks the left, Anbu Team Two attacks the right. The rest of the Anbu personnel find the right moment to control the Nine-Tailed. I will attack the center!"
"Understood!"
Mu issued the combat directive, and the Anbu immediately split into several parts to begin attacking the Nine-Tailed.
"Damn it!!!! Roar!!!"
The Nine-Tailed roared with rage, wagging its tail and sweeping towards Mu.
Mu, relying on his flight, flashed his figure and easily dodged the Nine-Tailed's tail attack.
"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Jutsu!"
"Lightning Release: Lightning Strike!"
The Anbu immediately took action, performing Ninjutsu. Some used Wind Release to enhance their attacks, while others used Lightning Release to disrupt the Nine-Tailed's movements.
But these attacks were like a mere scratch for the Nine-Tailed.
Mu didn't have too much hope when he saw this, only hoping these people could provide support for him.
It was relatively easy for him to kill the Nine-Tailed; a Dust Release blast to the Nine-Tailed's forehead could solve it.
But his goal was to dissect the Nine-Tailed.
"Human!!!"
The Nine-Tailed immediately opened its mouth, charging a Tailed Beast Ball.
However, the Nine-Tailed hadn't finished charging yet.
A Wind Release Rasengan struck directly at the Nine-Tailed's forehead.
"Wind Release: Rasengan!"
Mu, holding the Wind Release Rasengan, directly slammed it onto the Nine-Tailed's head!
Buzz!! Boom!!!
The Nine-Tailed's entire body was violently flipped to the ground, its face making intimate contact with the earth.
The Anbu members all gasped in admiration.
As expected of Mu, one strike showed his power.
They had been scratching it for a long time, but Mu's Rasengan slammed the Nine-Tailed onto the ground!
"So strong! Teacher's strength is truly unfathomable!"
Ōnoki's eyes widened in the distance.
Watching the fierce battle, his heart was filled with excitement and anticipation. He clenched his fists, secretly thinking when he could also become so powerful.
"Earth Release: Earth Prison Jutsu!"
Mu pressed on with the advantage. If this continued, he might not even need to activate Sage Mode.
As Mu finished his hand signs, large rocks protruded from the ground, quickly enveloping the Nine-Tailed's body, slowing its movements.
"Damn it!!"
The Nine-Tailed, having been suppressed, shook its head. Although that last hit was indeed heavy, for it, it merely made its head dizzy for a moment.
"Roar!!"
The Nine-Tailed struggled with all its might, and the rocks on its body shattered.
It roared, and with just a single breath, it formed a gust of wind that swept towards Mu and the others.
Mu made a decisive decision, dispelling his clone and instantly entering Sage Mode!
