After listening to Hōzuki Gengetsu, Mu's brow remained tightly furrowed.
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara might be dead, but they could also still be alive, in a Schrödinger's cat state.
Especially Uchiha Madara; Mu hadn't had time to inspect him thoroughly before Hashirama arrived, and then the fight started.
With the massive scale of his Dust Release, he wasn't sure what the situation truly was.
He remembered from that memory fragment that the Uchiha Clan possessed two forbidden jutsu: Izanagi and Izanami.
The thought that Uchiha Madara might not be dead made Mu's brow furrow even tighter.
What if this guy came back for revenge?
"However, if this guy used Izanagi, he would have lost a Mangekyo, which would greatly reduce his strength. He wouldn't be my opponent."
Mu secretly concluded.
As long as Madara didn't awaken the Rinnegan, his Senjutsu Chakra and Dust Release would always suppress a one-eyed Madara.
Are you kidding? What kind of person is he?
What is the mechanism of his Dust Release?
As long as the mechanism doesn't change, he will always be T0!
Mechanism unchanged, always T0.
If it weren't for the absorption setting added later in Kage, his Dust Release would have been able to kill its way through the Ninja World.
"Alright, alright, don't worry. He's definitely dead, guaranteed. We all beat him up like that. If he's not dead, I'll eat my words!!!"
Hōzuki Gengetsu patted his chest and said.
At this moment, Hōzuki Gengetsu was like an old general on a stage, immediately setting up a flag.
Hey, hey, hey! Can you not just set flags casually?!
The more you set these kinds of flags, the more likely things are to go wrong!
Mu's expression was helpless as he slowly got up.
Then, led by Hōzuki Gengetsu and others, they slowly passed through the crowd and arrived at a temporarily erected square.
Although the square was simple, it appeared exceptionally solemn.
The flags of the Four Great Shinobi Villages fluttered in the wind.
In the center of the square, a tall platform stood, with several tables and chairs placed on it.
The Four Kage were sitting there leisurely, sipping tea and happily playing cards, even taking out money to gamble.
Below the platform was a dense crowd of Ninja Allied Forces members from various Shinobi Villages; thousands of Ninja gathered together, a truly spectacular sight.
The Ninja from Iwagakure, Hidden Mist, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure were either sitting idly on the ground, chatting in groups, or gathered in a circle playing cards.
At this time, the hatred between the Ninja was not as deep as it would be in later generations.
In the original work, it was because they experienced three Great Ninja Wars, with countries attacking each other, that the hatred became deep.
But now it was only the early days of village establishment.
Plus, their respective leaders hadn't caused any trouble.
Everyone was still getting along relatively well.
When Mu, accompanied by Hōzuki Gengetsu and others, stepped into the square, all the Ninja unanimously turned their gaze toward Mu.
It was a gaze filled with respect and gratitude.
Immediately after, the Ninja rose one after another, casting grateful glances at Mu and expressing their sincere thanks.
This was simply because if Mu hadn't used Dust Release at the critical moment to block Senju Hashirama's True Several Thousand Hands, they would have probably been shattered into Ninja fragments by Senju Hashirama's power.
It could be said that Mu's action saved everyone present.
Therefore, it was only natural for the Ninja to feel grateful to him.
"Haha! Mu is here!"
Ishikawa, seeing his successor awaken, was beaming with joy, and the huge stone in his heart was finally lifted.
"You had me so worried! During the time you were unconscious, I was truly worried about you, Mu! I couldn't eat or sleep!"
Ishikawa flew down from the platform and said to Mu with a smile.
"Old man, was your worry, as you put it, while playing cards, gambling, and drinking tea?"
Mu teased him faintly.
"Hehehe...."
Ishikawa scratched his head and chuckled: "Hahahaha..."
"Ahem, you two, stop chatting idly. Let's discuss serious matters quickly. I'm in a hurry to go back."
Byakuren's eyes were practically skewed with annoyance, seeing the two of them still chatting.
Ishikawa led Mu to the stone platform.
Then Shamon, Second Raikage, and Hōzuki Gengetsu also came up.
The Kage hats of the Four Kage were placed in the middle of the table.
The Four Kage sat on chairs, with their successors behind them.
Mu saw this scene.
He thought to himself, only Konoha was missing.
The First Five Kage Summit was now becoming a Four Kage Summit.
"Alright, I won't say much more. Although the war hasn't started yet, let's first determine the division of interests to avoid uneven distribution in the end. Everyone, let's delineate your respective spheres of influence on the map!"
As the voice spoke, two Jonin slowly unrolled a map of the entire Ninja World and placed it on the table.
"Hmph hmph! Then I won't be polite!"
The First Raikage directly picked up a pen and drew a line.
The entire northern part of the Land of Fire, along with the Land of the Moon, the Land of Fields, and the Land of Hot Water, all belonged to the Land of Lightning!
Mu raised an eyebrow; the Land of Lightning had a huge appetite.
However, thinking that these three countries had not yet established Shinobi Villages, he was relieved that the Land of Lightning wanted to annex them.
"Then I, this old man, won't be polite either!"
Byakuren narrowed his eyes, then drew various islands and sea areas, including the Land of Whirlpools, into his sphere of influence.
The First Kazekage, Retto, silently drew in the Land of Rivers and the southern region of the Land of Fire.
Mu's bandaged face remained expressionless.
These three seemed to truly regard the Land of Fire as a piece of meat, cutting it up at will, without considering whether they could win the fight.
Even if they conquered it, could they hold it?
Even with a strong person like himself, he couldn't possibly run around all day, suppressing resistance, could he?
"My Land of Earth has a large territory, so the western part of the Land of Fire will belong to us!"
Ishikawa drew a portion of the land.
After being divided by the Four Kage, the entire Land of Fire was left with only the central region.
"We'll discuss this area after we conquer it!"
Byakuren slowly spoke.
These words received unanimous approval from everyone.
Immediately after, everyone planned to form a joint army to fight.
Towards the end, everyone suggested that someone was needed to be the supreme commander of the Ninja Allied Forces!
"So, who will be the supreme commander of the Alliance?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes unanimously turned to Mu, who was standing behind the Tsuchikage!
Ishikawa, Retto, the First Raikage, Byakuren, Hōzuki Gengetsu, the Second Raikage, and Shamon all looked towards Mu.
Even the Ninja Allied Forces below slowly looked at Mu.
It was clear that everyone already had an idea.
Mu, being stared at by countless people, felt a little uncomfortable, almost wanting to disappear on the spot using Dustless Bewildering Cover.
Seeing that Mu hadn't spoken yet, Hōzuki Gengetsu directly stepped forward to assist.
"Well! The commander of the Ninja Allied Forces must at least possess the following qualities: first, his strength must be the strongest among us!"
"Second, he must have prestige, and it's best if this person has saved everyone's lives! And he must also maintain good relationships with the other strong individuals!"
"Third, he must be very intelligent, a wise general!"
"As for the fourth..."
Before Hōzuki Gengetsu could continue, Shamon on the side couldn't help but interject: "Does he also need to be wrapped in bandages? And preferably know Dust Release?"
"Does his name also have to be a single, excellent character?"
The Second Raikage also chuckled and teased.
"Does he also need to have a handsome, tall disciple named Ōnoki, who has the potential to become the Ninja World's strongest expert in the future?"
"Oh dear! Who exactly is this person? It's so hard to guess?"
Ōnoki scratched his ears and cheeks, unable to resist exclaiming.
Ōnoki and the Ninja Allied Forces below were scratching their ears and cheeks in frustration, exclaiming: "Who is this person? It's so hard to guess!!!"
"Quick, tell us the answer!!!"
But everyone was staring intently at the silent Mu.
After being teased by several people, even the Four Kage couldn't help but cover their faces, expressing helplessness.
Mu himself couldn't keep a straight face.
Especially when he heard about being wrapped in bandages and having an excellent single character name.
They might as well just read his ID number...
Ishikawa, seeing his Mu still playing dumb, felt a little anxious!
This was a matter of bringing glory to Iwagakure and making Iwagakure proud!
Even if it was just as a mascot, Mu had to be pushed forward!
"Mu! You take the position, what do you all think?"
Ishikawa spoke directly, then looked at the other three Kage.
The other three nodded, indicating their agreement.
"Uh, ahem, this... I think we should just discuss matters together; there's no need to choose a leader..."
Mu coughed lightly, his face reddening as he spoke.
The next second, Hōzuki Gengetsu slapped Mu's butt hard: "No, old friend, are you still pretending? We only obey you! You don't even want to be a mascot? Get up there!"
Ever since that battle, everyone had tacitly agreed that Mu was the strongest among them.
"Someone! Bring a seat for the Ninja Commander!"
Soon, a chair was brought up and placed in the middle of the Four Kage!
"Oh dear! But I'm really not interested in this mascot role. I'd rather act as an advisor!"
Mu declined with a helpless expression, then righteously declared: "How can I, Mu, be worthy of such a great position, to act as the Ninja Commander? No! No! No!"
The impatient Second Raikage directly shouted to the Ninja Allied Forces below: "Where are the Iwagakure Anbu? Quickly, a few Iwagakure Anbu come up and press your leader into the chair!"
The next second, several Iwagakure Anbu, grinning, used the Body Flicker Technique to appear.
Mu recognized these Anbu.
They were the same Anbu who had bravely stepped forward to block Uchiha Madara when he tried to kill Mu back then.
"Hehe! Mu, please don't decline!"
"You are the popular choice!"
"Mu, forgive us!"
The next second, several Iwagakure Anbu swarmed forward, grabbing Mu and forcibly pressing him into the chair.
It was strange to say!
Mu, who could kill Uchiha Madara and suppress Senju Hashirama, was actually restrained by a few Iwagakure Anbu like that....
Mu's face was hard to maintain as he sat on equal footing with the other Four Kage.
"Oh! You've truly troubled me! Truly troubled me!"
Mu said helplessly.
"Pfft!"
As soon as these words came out, even the Four Kage and the Ninja Allied Forces couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Even Mu himself found it hard to keep a straight face.....
