Chapter 30 - Chapter 30: Shadow's Successor (Part 1)

"So what do we do?"

"How about we go to the pier for some fries?"

The elites from the four Villages, who were watching the battle from afar, stared blankly at the distant battlefield.

Things seemed to be getting more and more difficult.

"Everyone, don't panic. I've already informed the Kage of our Village, and he will surely arrive soon!"

"It's a pity our Hidden Mist Village is too far, so we probably won't be able to make it."

"It's fine. The Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Lightning should be able to arrive in time."

Although the elite Jonin were currently leaderless, they all possessed professional Ninja training. They immediately began to seek assistance from the surrounding Land of Earth, Land of Lightning, and Land of Wind.

Land of Earth, Tsuchikage's Office

Ishikawa stood up abruptly after receiving the intelligence.

"Mu is that fierce? He teamed up to kill Madara?"

"Now he's fighting Senju Hashirama?"

Ishikawa slapped his forehead, sensing that a Ninja World War was about to break out.

"Grandpa, we must go save Sensei!"

Ōnoki said anxiously.

Ishikawa nodded solemnly and personally led a team to the location.

Similar scenes also appeared in the Land of Wind and the Land of Lightning.

The Kage of both Villages immediately decided to personally lead teams to provide support.

Battlefield

"Baka yarou! You idiots, I can't maintain this Jutsu for long, quickly think of other solutions!"

Hōzuki Gengetsu shouted loudly at Mu, Shamon, and the Second Raikage.

At this moment, Mu was rapidly pondering.

He was also anxious. He knew he should have left a clone outside earlier, otherwise, he wouldn't be so passive now.

"It's over, it's over, we're finished…"

Shamon's face turned ashen, his lips trembled slightly as he muttered to himself, his voice filled with deep despair.

He had just engaged in a fierce battle with Uchiha Madara and was already physically and mentally exhausted, covered in wounds.

However, now he had to face a powerful enemy like Senju Hashirama; this was simply a nightmare.

How could they possibly fight!?

Uchiha Madara at least seemed to have a health bar.

Senju Hashirama seemed to only have a progress bar.

"Ahem… It seems we are destined to be buried here…"

The Second Raikage knelt with difficulty, his body swaying from his injuries.

He had been severely wounded by Uchiha's rebound just now.

His breathing was rapid, his chest heaved, and his clothes were tattered, stained dark red with blood.

"Sigh!"

Hōzuki Gengetsu sighed in his heart, seeing that both of them had lost their fighting spirit.

His proud Steam Imp had been easily defeated earlier and he couldn't create it now. If it hadn't been destroyed, perhaps he could have steamed it again.

"Mu, it's not bad to die with you!"

Hōzuki Gengetsu patted Mu's shoulder and said.

Upon hearing the word "die," Mu trembled violently.

What a joke!?

I can't die! Right! I can't die!

Mu's heart trembled violently. He had to live.

He already knew the plot, so how could he just die like this?

Even though the current situation seemed somewhat hopeless!

No! In despair! There is still a glimmer of hope!

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Mu suddenly looked up, quickly formed hand signs, and summoned a crow.

"Can you help me gather Chakra?"

Mu looked at the eight-foot bird.

The eight-foot bird made no extra movements and immediately stood on Mu's shoulder, helping him rapidly gather Chakra.

Mu himself also began to gather quickly.

Outside,

Senju Hashirama coldly watched the four below.

When he found that they were still resisting, Senju Hashirama clapped his hands again, preparing to deliver the final blow!

"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Rumble!!!!

Accompanied by a large number of winding tree vines, they began to swarm and attack the water barrier created by Hōzuki Gengetsu.

"It's over….."

Hōzuki Gengetsu closed his eyes, beginning to accept the fact that he was about to die.

However!

At this moment,

Mu slowly picked up a stone from the ground.

He closed his eyes and crushed the stone with one hand!

Crack!

"No! It's not over yet!"

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

With Mu's voice,

A brilliant beam of light shot up from the ground!

The barrier tore through the sky like a sharp sword, and the air shrieked piercingly wherever it passed!

The towering trees that covered the sky disintegrated inch by inch, from roots to canopy, the moment they touched the light, turning into countless glowing dust particles!

Wherever it reached, trees were instantly broken down into atomic states, vanishing into thin air, and at the same time, a large-scale explosion occurred, reducing the entire sea of trees that Hashirama had created to nothingness!

The pillar of light illuminated the battlefield!

Mu was seen flying in the air, holding up the Dust Release with one hand.

A divine eight-foot crow stood on his shoulder, and the bandages on his body fluttered in the wind!

At this moment, it was as if a god himself had descended to battle, accompanied by the eight-foot divine crow.

"This Jutsu… is very strong!"

"Is it relying on that summoning beast to provide Chakra…."

Senju Hashirama was slightly startled, not expecting Mu to be able to unleash such a powerful Jutsu in such a desperate situation.

"Heirs of the Kage! Do not give up easily!"

"We are all heirs of the Village and should have an iron will!"

"Do not give up easily. If you give up, that is true failure. We can die fighting, but we must never sit and wait for death!"

Mu flew in the air, holding up the Dust Release while shouting loudly.

With the help of Chakra,

Mu's voice resonated throughout the entire battlefield!

"Mu!!!"

On the other side, the elites from the four nations, who were watching from afar, looked on with shocked eyes.

Their own leaders were not preparing to resist, but they hadn't expected this Mu to still be "steaming"!

"Mu! It's Mu! This is Mu's Dust Release! Even Wood Release pales in comparison to Dust Release!"

"He makes himself and others see themselves as dust, reaching the realm of 'nothingness.' He is the wise general who turns 'stone' into 'bedrock'!"

"He has completely shouldered the responsibility of a Kage!"

"The founder of the Will of Stone, he will carry it through to the end on the path to the Will of Stone!"

At this moment, the Iwagakure Anbu acted as a full-time commentary team, passionately explaining Mu to the Ninja from the other three nations.

"This guy….."

Hōzuki Gengetsu looked at Mu, who was flying in the sky, with shocked eyes, a different kind of brilliance shining within them!

Hōzuki Gengetsu even had the thought of becoming Mu's subordinate.

Mu… you always step up at critical moments!

"Hey, hey, hey!!! Oioi!!!"

"Mu, you, are you going to hog all the glory yourself?"

"Don't forget about me, Hōzuki Gengetsu!!!"

"Senju Hashirama, right? Just watch me hold him off!"

With a series of Water Gun Jutsu destroying the surrounding Wood Release,

Hōzuki Gengetsu slowly stood up as well.

Hearing Mu's encouragement, Shamon and the Second Raikage also rekindled their fighting spirit!

"Right! I'm from the Hidden Cloud Village of the high mountains and cloud gorges, how can I give up so easily!?"

The Second Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode reignited on his body.

"If that's the case, what more can I say? At worst, we'll sink the Ninja World!"

Shamon struggled to stand up.

The four regained their composure and stood in a line.

"Right! At worst, we'll sink the Ninja World!"

The four once again confronted Senju Hashirama.

Senju Hashirama looked at the re-energized group, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes, but the battle would not stop because of it.

"Wood Release: Deep Forest Creation!"

Senju Hashirama clapped his hands again, attempting to use the same old trick to strangle them with Wood Release.

Mu and Hōzuki Gengetsu stood back to back, one using Dust Release, and the other using Water Gun Jutsu from his fingertips!

"Mu! Today, let's see who can shoot more!"

Hōzuki Gengetsu unleashed a barrage of Water Gun Jutsu from his fingertips!

"No one wants to compare who shoots more with you!"

Mu's face darkened as he fired Dust Release, pulverizing the approaching Wood Release.
