Chapter 643: Return
Chapter 643: Return
Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the reappearance of the eighty-meter-tall giant, a figure in pale green appeared beside Mu Yue's body.
Sharabee used her fingers to lightly tap Mu Yue, and with a change in Earth-style chakra nature, she brought Mu Yue underground.
In the instant that Sharabee's finger touched Mu Yue, his body became ethereal, as if he were a mere illusion.
The next moment, underground, Mu Yue opened his eyes.
[System Notification: "Disciple Uchiha Obito's emotions are too intense. The Six Paths bloodline is stimulated, opening the Mangekyo Sharingan. Strength has greatly increased, and as a reward, the Byakugan Purity has been significantly enhanced."
"Disciple Uchiha Obito's chakra +20,000, and as a teacher, you have received chakra +80,000."]
[System Notification: "Disciple Uchiha Itachi's emotions are too intense. The Six Paths bloodline is stimulated, opening the Mangekyo Sharingan. Strength has greatly increased, and as a reward, the Byakugan Purity has been significantly enhanced."
"Disciple Uchiha Itachi's chakra +17,000, and as a teacher, you have received chakra +68,000."]
[System Notification: "Your Byakugan has reached the requirements for evolution and will evolve soon."]
In the instant that Mu Yue opened his eyes, several system messages appeared before him.
"One hundred and forty-eight thousand points of chakra, and my Byakugan is about to evolve." Mu Yue revealed a satisfied expression.
Currently, everything that was happening was within his plan.
After using the 'No Thought Single Slash' to chop up the Susanoo, although Mu Yue had little chakra left, it was not to the extent that he couldn't maintain his Byakugan, and he still had the Yang Seal's chakra that he hadn't used yet.
According to Mu Yue's plan, if necessary, he would have to "die" once in front of his disciples.
There was no other reason than to help his disciples open their eyes and increase their strength, as well as to more easily defeat Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara would never have imagined that beneath Mu Yue's glasses, there was a Sharingan hidden.
That was one of the inheritances Mu Yue received from the Root Organization, a Sharingan that Danzo used for experiments.
Mu Yue quickly took off his glasses and took out a Byakugan from the system space.
Since system-rewarded items could be stored in system space, Mu Yue's Byakugan eye could also be directly placed there.
Mu Yue hesitated not a bit as he dug out his own right eye, which had no shine, and replaced it with the retrieved Byakugan, then he activated a medical ninjutsu.
"Izanagi, what a useful ninjutsu." Mu Yue exclaimed.
If not for Izanagi, it would've been truly difficult for Mu Yue to pretend to die to stimulate Obito to open his Sharingan.
After all, Obito had the ability to see through things with his Sharingan and the ability to peer into the world, making it easy for him to discover the problem from a bystander's perspective.
But Izanagi was different. In a sense, Mu Yue had indeed died once, but he used the 'Transfer Seal' on his own Sharingan to automatically activate Izanagi, changing the reality of his death.
"It's time to end this." Mu Yue observed the situation on the battlefield with his Byakugan and decided to take action to end Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara now only had one more chance to use Izanagi, and his state was not as good as it was at the beginning of the battle.
But Mu Yue had just been fed an elixir, his injuries were fully healed, his Byakugan was enhanced, and he still had the Yang Seal's chakra that he hadn't used.
The victor of the battle had already been decided.
"Yang Seal: Release!"
The flame on Mu Yue's forehead emitted a red light, and a large amount of chakra surged out from the seal, automatically entering him into the Chakra Mode of Flame Breath.
Shuu!
Sharabee held a kunai in each hand and flew back to the ground, throwing the kunai at Uchiha Madara as Mu Yue had instructed.
Uchiha Madara, who was about to capture Nohara Rin, sensed the breaking of the air and glanced at it indifferently without paying any attention.
Not only a kunai, but even a large-scale ninjutsu would not make him move, unless it was a large-scale ninjutsu used by Mu Yue.
But Mu Yue was already dead, and there was no one on the entire battlefield who could threaten him.
Shuu!
Mu Yue used the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared in the air behind Susanoo.
"Fire Style: Blue Flame, Fire Dragon Flame Bomb!"
Mu Yue pushed his Flame Breath Chakra Mode to its limits, significantly boosting the power of his fire-style ninjutsu and physical capabilities.
With the empowerment of the Chakra Mode of Flame Breath, Mu Yue put his hands together and instantly performed the intricate operations of various fire-style chakra nature changes.
Hu Hu!!!
A large patch of eye-catching blue flames was exhaled by Mu Yue.
The blue flames danced and billowed in the air, emitting a suffocating heat.
"Hm?!"
Sensing a ninjutsu that was powerful enough to threaten his life, Uchiha Madara immediately turned around and saw Mu Yue, who had just released the blue flames.
Even Uchiha Madara, who had experienced countless battles and witnessed countless grand scenes, revealed a puzzled expression at this moment.
Under Uchiha Madara's Sharingan, Mu Yue had lost his life. This was a fact that Madara had witnessed with his own eyes.
However, Mu Yue did not possess a Sharingan, and none of the ninjas present had a Rinnegan to cast the Reincarnation Technique on him. So how had Mu Yue returned to life?
Uchiha Madara was very perplexed.
But Madara was, after all, a highly experienced ninja. Without dwelling on Mu Yue's resurrection, he immediately abandoned his pursuit of Haruno and turned his full attention to dealing with Mu Yue.
Regardless of how Mu Yue had managed it, the fact was that he was still alive.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Uchiha Madara gathered a large amount of chakra and converted it into fire-nature chakra, spitting out a massive orange-red flame to counter the incoming fire technique.
Having kept an eye on Obito, he was well aware of the basics regarding the Blue Flame. It possessed far superior burning capability and power compared to regular fire jutsu, but in order to achieve that, the flame had to be compressed. Since Mu Yue had produced such a vast amount of the Blue Flame, its might would undoubtedly be affected.
Boom!!
The blue and orange flames collided in front of the Susanoo, and the terrifying heatwave caused even Uchiha Madara inside Susanoo to be affected slightly.
Although he quickly regained his composure due to his prior experience, it was still Mu Yue who had made the first move, and Madara had only reacted after the Blue Flame was about to scorch his Susanoo.
Unexpectedly, what happened next caught Uchiha Madara off guard. The seemingly smaller and weaker blue flame suddenly overwhelmed and devoured his orange-red flame.
If Mu Yue were a regular fire-style ninja, Madara's idea of countering fire with fire would not have been a flawed strategy. However, Mu Yue was not ordinary. He possessed perfect-level fire-nature chakra transformation and was also bolstered by the Flame of Kagu Chakra Mode. On top of that, he had just unleashed his S+ Proficiency-level Blue Flame with full force.
How could Uchiha Madara possibly counter such a fire jutsu?
Strictly speaking, the true might of this fire jutsu even surpassed that of the 'Thoughtless Slash'.
Hiss!
The dazzling blue flame penetrated Uchiha Madara's fire jutsu and struck the Susanoo.
Kakashi's 'Thoughtless Slash', which was powerful enough to shake the Susanoo, now seemed like an easily meltable candle in the face of Mu Yue's Blue Flame.
Under the illumination of the flames, everything else faded into darkness, except for the blue flames that blazed brilliantly like stars, lighting up the entire battlefield.
"Teacher Mu!" Obito, who had been about to rush towards Haruno, halted his steps and gazed at the figure with golden hair in sheer delight.
Undoubtedly, that was his teacher, the omnipotent Mu Yue.
"Teacher Mu is truly capable of everything. He has brought me back to the real world."
Obito instantly felt that this world was incredibly real and not the slightest bit fake.
Stopping in his tracks, Tobirama's eyes widened with unrestrainable joy.
The terrifying Blue Flame and that familiar chakra... There was no doubt that it was their teacher Mu Yue, who had just been resting on the ground moments ago.
"As I thought, Teacher Mu just took a little nap."
Tobirama felt relieved, and the pain in his eyes seemed to have lessened.
"Phew." Kakashi exhaled deeply as he sat on the ground, panting heavily.
The previous 'Thoughtless Slash' had nearly exhausted his chakra, and he was only able to remain standing due to sheer willpower.
Seeing the familiar and reliable figure of his teacher again brought a sense of relief to Kakashi.
He didn't know what method Mu Yue had used, but the fact that he was still alive was the best outcome.
"Lord Mu!"
The Konoha ninjas, who had been severely injured and on the verge of collapse, felt a surge of vigor upon witnessing Mu Yue's reappearance. They had believed him to be dead, and when faced with the over eighty-meter-tall Susanoo, they had already lost all hope and accepted their fate.
But now, Mu Yue had reappeared and displayed his formidable power once more, engulfing the Susanoo in terrifying blue flames.
"If we ever get to elect the Hokage again, we must vote for Lord Mu!" This thought crossed the minds of all the Konoha ninjas present.
Mu Yue possessed formidable Wood-Style jutsu, and he had also saved their lives on the battlefield. There was no one more deserving of the title than him.
Unlike the previous time, Obito and Tobirama did not deactivate their Mangekyo Sharingan immediately. Instead, they cautiously surveyed their surroundings.
Logically, there should be no possibility of survival after being hit by such a powerful jutsu.
However, the black-robed Uchiha Madara had withstood the 'Thoughtless Slash' earlier, and this made them worry that he might have a similar trick up his sleeve.
"He's there! Teacher Mu, watch out!" Obito shouted as he spotted Madara appearing behind Mu Yue.
If Obito could detect him, how could the cautious Mu Yue not be aware? Mu Yue raised his hand and unleashed a terrifying wave of scorching flames, engulfing Madara who attempted to ambush him once more.
However, as Madara had just used Izanagi, Mu Yue's fire-style ninjutsu had no effect on him.
Though unharmed, Madara's expression turned grim as the situation rapidly deteriorated.
"There are so many omissions and errors in the intel! This guy's strength is totally unlike what's described!" Madara muttered, his face darkening.
It was understandable that Mu Yue had abilities beyond what was stated in the intel, as ninjas of such caliber often had hidden tricks up their sleeves. However, the grossly inaccurate information was a critical flaw.
For instance, the intel mentioned Mu Yue's abilities, 'Mugen No Tou' and 'Seien Tou,' but the power he exhibited in those areas today far exceeded what was described.
Madara was left speechless. If he had known Mu Yue was this formidable, he would have waited for Iwagakure to deplete his chakra and for his body to adjust before confronting him.
Madara frantically attacked, taking advantage of the Izanagi's benefits, while simultaneously devising a contingency plan.
The scheme had undoubtedly failed, but he couldn't just sit and wait for his demise. He had to do something.
Madara intended to take action against Haruno Sakura, hoping that her death would trigger Obito once more.
However, this idea was also far-fetched, as Mu Yue, a master of the Flying Thunder God Technique, could easily protect Sakura.
"Lord, I've brought you the eyes."
Suddenly, a White Zetsu emerged from the ground, holding a pair of Sharingan eyes.
Madara's chakra surged as he instantly created a partial Susanoo, reaching for the eyes.
"If I obtain another pair of Sharingan, Mu Yue will definitely be no match for me."
'Psychokinesis!'
Sharabhi, standing by Mu Yue's side, discreetly manipulated the eyes with his psychokinesis, lifting them into the sky, causing Madara to grasp at thin air.
"Katon: Seien Rouka no Jutsu!"
Seizing the opportunity, Mu Yue amassed a substantial amount of chakra and unleashed a fierce blue fire dragon, aiming directly at Madara within the Susanoo.
"What a waste! Where did this confidence and arrogance come from?" Black Zetsu's expression darkened further as he watched from the shadows.
He had witnessed Madara squandering a winning hand step by step.
Initially, the plan was for Mu Yue to be in the spotlight while they operated from the shadows, thus giving them the upper hand.
However, Madara, overly confident, directly confronted Mu Yue, leading to his imminent downfall.
Black Zetsu didn't hesitate and immediately retreated, knowing he lacked the strength of the Six Paths to overcome Mu Yue in a head-on battle.
"Obito, Uchiha Stop, once your ocular power becomes stronger, go and take a look at the monument in the Southern Shrine. There lies a secret that can bring peace to the world."
Upon realizing his inevitable defeat, Madara didn't display panic or anxiety. Instead, he left a message for Obito and Stop:
As Konoha lacked the technique to transplant the First Hokage's cells, Obito and Stop would undoubtedly face the issue of the side effects of their Mangekyou Sharingan.
Thus, there was a high possibility that one of them would choose to sacrifice themselves to empower the other, increasing the chance of unlocking the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. If that happened, they might be able to decipher the message left by the Sage of the Six Paths, and perhaps, become the next him.
Obito wasn't fooled by Madara's words. Even before he could retort, Mu Yue's blue fire dragon, composed of Seien Tou, melted the Susanoo's defense and struck Madara's body, leaving a gaping hole.
BOOM!
The fire dragon penetrated Madara's body, creating a massive opening.
BANG!
The Susanoo dissipated, and Madara's body collapsed onto the ground, marking the end of the legendary ninja.
Mu Yue manipulated the remnants of the blue flames to dissipate, preventing Madara's body from being reduced to ashes.
"Teacher Mu." The disciples gathered around him.
