Chapter 659: Otsutsuki Mumu
Chapter 659: Otsutsuki Mumu
As the transformation of his right eye concluded, Mumu's restless chakra calmed within him.
Feeling the immense chakra within, Mumu opened the status panel to examine his condition.
【Name: Yuyu Mumu】
【Chakra: 3,650,000】
Mumu was slightly taken aback by the amount of chakra displayed on the panel.
After four years of tireless effort, he had barely managed to accumulate over a million chakra, but with the evolution of his eye, his chakra increased by over two million.
It seemed that the power of the legendary eye in the Fire Lord World was truly formidable.
This far exceeded Mumu's expectations; he had initially thought that increasing his chakra by ten thousand would be a great success.
When Deidara activated his Trifoliate Sharingan, it only increased his chakra by twenty thousand, and even then, he needed further training to convert the surging spiritual energy into strength.
Judging solely by the increase in chakra, Mumu's evolved Byakugan could rival a hundred Trifoliate Sharingans.
Mumu removed his glasses and took out a mirror to observe the changes in his eyes.
He was curious to see what his Byakugan had evolved into, as it seemed incredibly powerful.
Looking into the mirror, Mumu was surprised.
H
In his knowledge, bloodline limits involving dojutsu typically evolved both eyes simultaneously.
He had never heard of a Sharingan where only one eye evolved into a Trifoliate, while the other remained a three-tomoe.
However, if he had to compare, there was one case similar to Mumu's—Uchiha Sasuke, who was blessed by the Rikudo Sennin.
After receiving the blessing, Sasuke's eye evolved into a Rinnegan with six tomoe, while the other remained an Eternal Trifoliate Sharingan.
"Not exactly the same," Mumu shook his head.
Although his Byakugan appeared unchanged, its visual power had significantly increased, expanding the range and depth of his vision.
Mumu put down the mirror and prepared to test the new abilities gained from his evolved Byakugan.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Mumu created a shadow clone and instructed it to attack him with ninjutsu.
"Lightning Style: False Darkness!"
The shadow clone moved away, gathering a substantial amount of chakra and firing a sharp lightning spear at Mumu.
Zzzz!
The blue lightning spear emitted a dazzling light, piercing through the night's darkness and rushing towards Mumu.
Mumu stood still, neither using a breathing technique to strengthen his body nor employing an armored color defense.
When the lightning spear was just a meter away, Mumu's right eye pupil emitted a faint golden light.
"Shamenbikan!"
Whoosh! The thick lightning spear suddenly vanished, as if erased by a pencil eraser right in front of Mumu.
"What a powerful yet simple ability," Mumu thought.
The lightning spear still existed, but it had shrunk to an imperceptible size, losing its offensive capability.
His right eye possessed two dojutsu abilities, one of which was Shamenbikan.
Shamenbikan's effect was not to eliminate ninjutsu but to shrink it. However, when Mumu maximized Shamenbikan's shrinking ability, the practical effect was almost as if the jutsu had been eliminated.
"Moreover, there are no side effects when using it, and it seems to be on par with the Rinnegan in terms of rank."
Mumu sensed his own state and felt no abnormalities from using Shamenbikan.
Mumu continued to test the full potential of Shamenbikan.
After awakening his new eye, he only knew that Shamenbikan's ability was to shrink, but he was unclear about what it could shrink and to what extent.
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb!"
The shadow clone unleashed a fire jutsu, sending a towering wave of flames towards Mumu.
Similar to the lightning jutsu, after Mumu used Shamenbikan, the flames instantly shrank, losing their offensive power.
Whoosh!
After confirming that both fire and lightning energy attacks could be shrunk, the shadow clone threw several shuriken at Mumu.
Mumu's right eye pupil flashed with golden light, and the shuriken shrank into nothingness.
Mumu then glanced at a nearby stone.
Whoosh!
The two-meter-tall stone block instantly transformed into a small pebble.
"If it works on both matter and energy, then..." Mumu slowly turned his gaze towards his own body.
In the next moment, Mumu's body rapidly shrank from one meter eighty to one point eight centimeters.
"The chakra consumption is much higher than the shrinking ninjutsu," Mumu felt his chakra rapidly depleting.
Upon closer thought, it made sense.
The chakra consumption for shrinking ninjutsu or objects was not always the same.
The larger the area or the stronger the jutsu, the more chakra was required to shrink it.
For objects, the greater the mass, the more chakra was needed.
Mumu's body not only had an immense amount of chakra but also a robust physique, so shrinking himself naturally required a considerable amount of chakra.
Mumu surveyed his surroundings, and after shrinking, he felt like he had entered a land of giants, surrounded by colossal objects, even a random flying insect was several times his size.
Buzz!
At that moment, a large black mosquito suddenly flew towards Mumu.
"Finger Gun!"
Mumu concentrated chakra on his finger and lightly pointed it at the mosquito.
Bang!
The mosquito's body was pulverized by a force several times larger than its own, leaving no trace behind.
Although his body had shrunk a hundredfold, Mumu's physical strength remained unchanged.
"It seems that shrinking living beings is different from shrinking other things," Mumu thought as he returned to his normal size and picked up the stone he had shrunk, weighing it in his hand.
The stone was incredibly light, and if it weren't for Yu Sheng Mu Yue personally shrinking it with his Dojutsu, he might have mistaken it for an ordinary rock.
When a Ninjutsu is used to shrink an object, it loses its offensive capabilities, and its mass decreases. However, when a living being is shrunk, their strength remains unaffected.
In the next moment, Yu Sheng Mu Yue threw the stone and once again activated Shamenbikan.
Boom!
The stone returned to its original size in mid-air and smashed into the ground with force.
Shamenbikan doesn't have the ability to enlarge objects, but it can restore shrunk objects to their original state, and the speed of restoration is as fast as the shrinking process, happening in an instant.
"Great Black Sky!"
After testing Shamenbikan for a while, Yu Sheng Mu Yue concentrated his chakra in his right eye and used his second Dojutsu.
A pitch-black vortex appeared around him, slowly engulfing Yu Sheng Mu Yue.
Yu Sheng Mu Yue's field of vision changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself in a strange space filled with numerous giant black cubes floating in the air.
This was the second ability of Yu Sheng Mu Yue's right eye.
This ability was somewhat similar to Deidara's Divine Might, as both had an associated separate space.
However, Great Black Sky couldn't allow Yu Sheng Mu Yue to partially enter the separate space to dodge attacks like Divine Might.
The unique aspect of Great Black Sky's space was that it was a separate space where time stood still, and only Yu Sheng Mu Yue, the possessor of the Dojutsu, could move freely within it.
If Yu Sheng Mu Yue were to pull someone into Great Black Sky, that person would be at his mercy, unable even to think.
"Unfortunately, the speed is too slow," Yu Sheng Mu Yue shook his head.
With Great Black Sky's speed, it was unlikely to catch someone of the same level in combat, but it might have some use for surprise attacks.
Yu Sheng Mu Yue activated Great Black Sky again to return to the Ninja World.
"Great Black Sky!"
After some thought, Yu Sheng Mu Yue activated Great Black Sky once more, but this time, instead of entering the Great Black Sky space, he extracted the black cubes from within.
Boom! Boom!
Several giant cubes crashed to the ground, creating a loud rumbling sound.
Unlike when a person enters Great Black Sky, the speed of extracting objects from within is incredibly fast, leading Yu Sheng Mu Yue to believe that this might be the true combat application of Great Black Sky.
"This Dojutsu is quite human-friendly, even coming with its own ninja tools," Yu Sheng Mu Yue thought.
Yu Sheng Mu Yue approached one of the cubes, knocked on it, and tried to lift it, only to find that the material of the cube was extraordinary, both hard and heavy.
As usual, Yu Sheng Mu Yue activated his Perception Ninjutsu to sense his surroundings.
Even during his training, Yu Sheng Mu Yue would periodically use his Perception Ninjutsu to check his surroundings to prevent being discovered.
"Unable to sense," Yu Sheng Mu Yue realized that his Perception ability had failed.
Yu Sheng Mu Yue scanned his surroundings and eventually fixed his gaze on the several giant black cubes on the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Shamenbikan was activated, and the black cubes rapidly shrank. Immediately after, Great Black Sky was activated, and the black cubes returned to the Great Black Sky space.
Objects shrunk by Shamenbikan could be instantly retrieved by Great Black Sky.
Similarly, objects released by Great Black Sky could be instantly restored to their original size by Shamenbikan.
As the black cubes were retrieved, Yu Sheng Mu Yue's Perception ability returned.
"These cubes can be considered advanced ninja tools, and they even have the ability to interfere with Perception," Yu Sheng Mu Yue thought.
On the surface, using the cubes would prevent everyone from sensing anything, but in reality, it was not the case.
After all, Yu Sheng Mu Yue possessed the Byakugan, and his was a super Byakugan with far superior insight.
Finally, Yu Sheng Mu Yue found a wild boar and tried to use Shamenbikan to shrink it, but nothing happened.
After this test, Yu Sheng Mu Yue had a decent understanding of his two Dojutsu and had formulated a combat strategy.
Shamenbikan, by itself, could only be used for auxiliary defense, capable of blocking most non-Taijutsu attacks.
However, when combined with Great Black Sky, Shamenbikan could provide offensive capabilities, allowing Yu Sheng Mu Yue to launch a sudden barrage of Kunai or drop a giant cube on his opponent's head without warning.
The evolution of the Byakugan brought more changes to Yu Sheng Mu Yue.
As Yu Sheng Mu Yue activated his chakra, his body slowly lifted off the ground and began to fly towards the sky.
This was not the Light and Heavy Rock Technique of the Stone Hidden Village but true flight.
This ability to fly was not a Dojutsu of Yu Sheng Mu Yue's; it was a mysterious ability he gained after his eyes evolved.
He felt he could fly, and so he took off, and that was that.
After experiencing the chaos of bloodline purity enhancement and other rewards, Yu Sheng Mu Yue couldn't even say whether he was more like a Ninja World native or an extraterrestrial like Kaguya Otsutsuki.
However, Yu Sheng Mu Yue didn't mind; even if he grew horns one day, he could just transform and hide them. It wasn't a big deal.
In mid-air, Yu Sheng Mu Yue activated the Lightning God Technique and returned to his home in the main city.
Upon arriving home, Yu Sheng Mu Yue didn't go straight to his bedroom to sleep but instead walked slowly to the second bedroom on the second floor.
To accommodate Sherabi's living needs, Yu Sheng Mu Yue had cleared out the second bedroom and filled it with various plants and flowers.
When Yu Sheng Mu Yue entered the room, Sherabi was sleeping on a small tree.
Yu Sheng Mu Yue sent a wave of Identification towards Sherabi.
Name: Sherabi
Chakra: 202,000
Skills: Wood Style (Proficient: 1800/3000), Space-Time Force (Beginner: 230/500), Positive Chakra Nature Transformation (Expert: 900/15000)...
After two months of development, Sherabi's strength had significantly improved.
Unfortunately, the Space-Time Force skill's proficiency level increased slowly and remained at the beginner level.
"Once Sherabi's Space-Time Force reaches the proficient level, we'll go to Mystic Wood Mountain," Yu Sheng Mu Yue thought as he closed Sherabi's panel.
Sage Arts were definitely a must-learn, as the Sage Mode was a pure enhancement.
Even without Sage Chakra, the Mindless Blade was capable of shattering an eighty-meter Susanoo. If it were empowered by Sage Chakra, the results would be even more terrifying.
There was also the Sage-enhanced Armored Color and the enhanced Taijutsu with Sage Chakra.
...
The next day, Orochimaru was pondering how to test Yu Sheng Mu Yue when he suddenly sensed someone approaching his residence.
"Orochimaru-sama, please head to the Hokage's office immediately. The Third Hokage requests your presence," said a Root Clan member as he knocked on the door and entered.
"I understand," Orochimaru replied calmly and began walking towards the Shadow Lord Building.
Apparently, he had not been exposed, or perhaps Mu Yue knew but had not informed Enma.
Otherwise, it would not be Enma summoning him but a group of elite Root Clan members armed to the teeth.
Knock, knock.
Orochimaru approached the Shadow Lord Building and stopped near the Hokage's office, knocking on the wooden door.
"Enter."
Hearing Enma's voice, Orochimaru pushed the door open and entered.
"Orochimaru, I have a very important mission for you," Enma said without beating around the bush.
Orochimaru closed the door and calmly walked forward, waiting for Enma to explain.
Enma picked up a scroll and handed it to Orochimaru as he approached, then continued, "You should be aware that Assistant Danzo was murdered."
Orochimaru nodded. Son Ryouka was one of his important partners.
"Son Ryouka is the killer, and his actions have seriously threatened the safety of Konoha. This is a challenge to Konoha's strength."
Orochimaru quickly recalled Son Ryouka's information.
Son Ryouka rarely took action, but his most impressive feat was using Fire Jutsu to suppress Hanzou's Water Jutsu.
Orochimaru had faced Hanzou during the Second Shinobi World War and knew his strength. With such Fire Jutsu capabilities, Son Ryouka was undoubtedly the best in the Shinobi World, even surpassing Enma.
If Orochimaru were to assassinate Son Ryouka, he would require his team members to master Water Jutsu. If one person couldn't stop him, they would bring more.
"However, Konoha is currently in a critical period, so it's not advisable to take action lightly. Therefore, your mission, Orochimaru, is to lead the negotiation team to the Shinshu and try to resolve the issue through negotiations." Enma explained the specific task.
Orochimaru remained calm, thinking he would be assigned an assassination mission, but it was just a negotiation.
"Our bottom line is that Son Ryouka must pay with his life, and we can let go of everything else."
Orochimaru's expression became pensive.
As far as he knew, Son Ryouka was a key figure in the Shinshu. Would they agree to such a demand?
But Enma wasn't foolish; he wouldn't make a demand that was impossible to fulfill.
Orochimaru guessed that Enma wanted to pressure the Shinshu with Konoha's vast influence, forcing Son Ryouka to agree to this demand personally.
If Son Ryouka cared enough about the Shinshu, he might very well agree.
"During the negotiations, Orochimaru, your attitude must be firm. We in Konoha prefer not to take action lightly, not because we can't, but because we have the strength to act against the Shinshu." Enma emphasized.
Apart from their personal relationship with Danzo, Enma was also concerned about upholding Konoha's prestige.
If a small force killed their high-ranking member and Konoha did nothing, would the outside Shinobi praise Konoha for its kindness and friendliness?
No, they would only think Konoha was weak and could be trampled upon.
"I understand," Orochimaru nodded.
He would first try to intimidate Son Ryouka. If that didn't work, they would take action.
"The rest of the negotiation team has already gathered and is waiting for you on the first floor, near the mission desk."
Although it was just a negotiation, the opponent had killed both Hanzou and Danzo. Enma was concerned that ordinary Shinobi might not withstand Son Ryouka's aura, so after careful consideration, he ultimately chose Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's strength and personality made him the perfect choice for this task.
Orochimaru left the Hokage's office, unrolling the scroll to read its contents as he headed towards the first floor.
"Orochimaru-sama!"
The negotiation team members greeted Orochimaru as they saw him.
Orochimaru nodded slightly in acknowledgment, his gaze fixed on the shortest ninja in the room.
Feeling Orochimaru's stare, Zhi Shui was puzzled, wondering why Orochimaru seemed particularly interested in him.
"If there are no issues, let's prepare to depart," Orochimaru said, withdrawing his gaze.
The scroll Enma gave to Orochimaru contained information about the negotiation team's Shinobi.
So Orochimaru knew that Zhi Shui was from the New Root Division, a member of the training team.
Of course, being a training team member wasn't enough to warrant Orochimaru's attention. There were other training team members on the negotiation team, but the crucial point was that Zhi Shui was Mu Yue's disciple.
Orochimaru was eager to know if Mu Yue had obtained information about his collaboration with Danzo.
Orochimaru wasn't merely afraid of his secret being exposed; he even hoped that Mu Yue had the collaboration data.
There were only two possibilities for him to be able to carry out the mission safely. The first was simple: Mu Yue didn't have the data.
The second possibility was that Mu Yue might not be as resistant to human experimentation or might have a favorable impression of Orochimaru.
Orochimaru hoped for the second possibility, as it meant he could gain a new partner, one whose strength and potential far surpassed Danzo's.
In fact, Orochimaru had a keen interest in Mu Yue himself. The cells of Senju Hashirama held mysterious powers, and Mu Yue, who might become the second Senju Hashirama, intrigued Orochimaru.
