"What exactly is this thing?"
Senju Tobirama looked at Mu, who could fly, with a shocked expression.
This guy can fly! Doesn't that mean he can't hit him anymore?
"It's astonishing that he could erase Madara's Susanoo so easily. This Ninjutsu is very powerful!"
Senju Hashirama, hidden in the shadows, exclaimed in admiration.
He was very familiar with the defensive power of Madara's Susanoo.
He could barely shatter it with his full power, but just now, that Ninjutsu was merely a flash of white light, and Susanoo was completely erased.
"Big Brother, that Ninjutsu is indeed very powerful."
"But I'm more concerned about that extra Mu who just appeared; he vanished into thin air, and I couldn't even sense him!"
Senju Tobirama's eyes were fixed on Mu in the distance.
His sensory abilities were very strong, yet the moment Mu disappeared, he couldn't sense him at all.
(Dustless Bewildering Cover: Possesses terrifying invisibility that makes one's Chakra undetectable. Mu relies on this ability, earning him the title "Nobody." This is the Kage's description of this skill; it's not about how profound the hiding is, but rather a complete "inability" to sense, so I conclude that Senju Tobirama cannot sense him.)
"It's definitely strong. I also can't sense his Chakra anymore…"
"It seems the Iwagakure envoy is not simple…"
Senju Hashirama also looked solemn upon hearing this; he couldn't sense him either.
"Tobirama, let's go over quickly. Let's not make a big deal out of this, or it will jeopardize our friendly relations…"
Senju Hashirama couldn't help but say.
He had just discussed friendly relations with Mu earlier.
Actually, he should have stopped them sooner, but at the critical moment, Senju Tobirama used Flying Thunder God to pull him aside, making him watch the battle.
"Big Brother, just consider it a test of the other Villages' strength."
"What's done is done; going early or late makes no difference."
"Anyway, with your strength, saving that person from Madara's hands won't be a problem."
Senju Tobirama said calmly.
Actually, he wanted to see how far the Bandage Man could push Uchiha Madara, preferably to the point of killing Uchiha Madara…
"Sigh, alright!"
Senju Hashirama thought about it and agreed.
He would listen to his younger brother.
The commotion here also brought out Konoha residents and various Ninja clans to watch the spectacle.
"What happened?"
"It seems Uchiha Madara is fighting an outsider, an Iwagakure Ninja."
"Hiss! To be able to last so long against Lord Madara, this Iwagakure envoy has some strength."
A group of veteran Konoha powerhouses left their clan grounds and observed the battle between Uchiha Madara and Mu from the shadows.
When they saw that Mu could actually spar with Uchiha Madara,
And directly defeat Uchiha Madara's Susanoo,
The Ninja who had lived through the chaotic era were utterly shocked!
One must know that Ninja and Uchiha Madara were completely different concepts.
They knew how strong Uchiha Madara was.
Currently, only Senju Hashirama could shatter Uchiha Madara's Susanoo!
And now, that envoy from Iwagakure could also do it!
On the Kage Rock in Konoha,
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Utatane Koharu, Homura Mitokado, Uchiha Kagami, and Akimichi Torifu stood on the Kage Rock, gazing at the battle between Uchiha Madara and Mu.
"Hiss! Danzo, this Bandage Man is so strong; he can actually contend with Uchiha Madara."
Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in admiration.
"Indeed!"
Danzo Shimura nodded with a solemn expression.
"No, Uchiha Clan Leader Madara hasn't used his full power. If he did, this Bandage Man wouldn't be his opponent."
Uchiha Kagami said, arms crossed.
Although Uchiha Kagami wasn't a die-hard supporter of Uchiha Clan Leader Madara, he still believed that only Hashirama-sama could defeat Uchiha Clan Leader Madara.
Utatane Koharu, Homura Mitokado, and Akimichi Torifu silently watched without speaking.
....
"The heroes of the world are truly as numerous as carp crossing a river!"
Before encountering Mu, he thought the only heroes in the world were himself and Hashirama.
But Mu's killing move just now changed his mind.
He and Hashirama were heroes.
This Mu could barely be considered half a hero.
Uchiha Madara stared at Mu below with a serious gaze.
At this moment, there was no mockery or carelessness in his eyes.
If his initial seriousness towards Mu was due to Mu's conviction,
Now, he was thoroughly treating the Mu before him as a true powerhouse!
"Mangekyo Sharingan!"
Uchiha Madara used his Mangekyo Sharingan to observe Mu's body and the surrounding situation.
Just now, an extra Mu had appeared out of nowhere.
Clearly, it wasn't a Shadow Clone.
How could an outsider know the Shadow Clone Ninjutsu created by Tobirama?
(Tobirama's Shadow Clone Ninjutsu was only mastered by the entire Ninja World later; this is still the early days of Village establishment.)
But after looking around, Uchiha Madara couldn't find a single flaw.
"My Mangekyo can't see through it… Is it a more advanced Ninjutsu than Shadow Clone?"
Uchiha Madara frowned slightly.
Mu panted heavily, his gaze sweeping to a certain spot.
Senju brothers, aren't you two going to come out and stop this?
His incredibly strong sensory abilities had already detected the two of them. He had expected them to come out and stop it, but he didn't expect them to be watching from the sidelines.
If this continued, he would have no choice but to escape with Ōnoki.
Uchiha Madara's lips curled into a smile; he had already sensed that Hashirama had arrived.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Uchiha Madara clapped his hands, summoning his Gunbai and scythe.
Whoosh!
Uchiha Madara instantly appeared beside Mu, then used his fan to swat Mu away.
As Mu was sent flying into the air, Uchiha Madara appeared again and swatted him multiple times in succession.
Madara's objective was clear: to move the battlefield outside Konoha.
At this moment, Madara still cared deeply for his Village and clan.
If they kept fighting inside the Village, it would harm the Village and his clan, and he wouldn't be able to unleash many of his Ninjutsu.
Mu's expression was solemn as he quickly thought of a countermeasure.
One attacking, one defending, the battlefield had already shifted outside the Village.
Once outside the Village, Uchiha Madara had no more reservations and unleashed his killing moves directly!
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Uchiha Madara released his signature Fire Release Ninjutsu.
At the same time, he fanned his Gunbai with his right hand, making the already incredibly powerful Great Fire Annihilation even stronger, its power increasing severalfold!
Boom!!!
Mu's eyes narrowed as he watched the flames, like a tsunami, rush towards him!
In the original story, it took twenty Water Release Ninja to withstand it together.
Now, he had to block it alone.
The pressure was indeed immense!
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
Rumble!!!
An incredibly thick, reinforced Earth-Style Wall rumbled into existence, blocking Mu's path.
Boom!!
The moment the sea of fire touched the Earth-Style Wall, the Earth-Style Wall began to melt and collapse at an extremely rapid pace!
Mu slammed his hands onto the ground, summoning more Earth-Style Walls to reinforce it.
However, this was a real battle.
An opponent wouldn't just stand there and wait for you to react after releasing a Ninjutsu.
Whoosh!
Uchiha Madara appeared out of thin air beside Mu using the Body Flicker Jutsu.
With a powerful kick, he struck Mu's body.
Pfft!
He directly embedded Mu into the Earth-Style Wall.
"That was too much; it almost ripped the bandages on me…"
Mu's face beneath the bandages was grim. Fortunately, he had used Earth Release: Hardening Jutsu beforehand, otherwise, he would have fallen apart.
Uchiha Madara was expressionless, directly raising the scythe in his hand and slashing at Mu!
Whoosh! Boom!
A flash of white light.
The Earth-Style Wall, which had withstood the Great Fire Annihilation for a long time, was torn apart by a single slash from Uchiha Madara, and the thick earth wall crumbled into pieces.
