Second Tsuchikage: Opening against Uchiha Madara Chapter 009

From the office, Mu did not plan to rest or sleep. Mu was almost thirty years old! How could he sleep?! Although his strength had reached its limit, he could learn more ninjutsu to make himself more versatile. Even though Mu had been tired all day, he still had to work hard on his cultivation!

He arrived at a hidden cave in the mountains behind Iwagakure.

“Unt, Yin, Unt, Wu, Chou, Unt…”

With a series of quick hand seals, Mu finally slammed his hand on the ground. The walls of the cave began to vibrate, and then a small door slowly opened. Mu walked straight in. The cave was a world of its own, with many books and a large number of scrolls. This was his laboratory for creating ninjutsu. A few years ago, his proud Dust Release was conceived and born from this place.

“I have to say, the Second Hokages of each Hidden Village are all inventing geniuses!” Mu thought of the Second Hokages of each Hidden Village in the plot. The Second Kazekage Shamon, the Second Raikage, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, and that guy Gengetsu Hozuki, were all inventing geniuses.

Shamon invented the Puppet Technique and Sand Control Technique. The Second Raikage invented the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. There was no need to mention Tobirama Senju’s various forbidden jutsus. He himself invented Dust Release, a ninjutsu with extreme operability. That guy with the small beard was also good, perfectly combining genjutsu and water release.

Mu took out the wood created by Hashirama Senju and put it into his dish. “With my current ability, I’m probably not enough to complete the research on Hashirama’s cells alone. This has to be put aside first…”

Mu was silent, then began to conceive ninjutsu again. He remembered that in that mass of memories, there was a very useful ninjutsu, and it was used by that junior named Naruto. Its name was Rasengan!

“I should be able to try this ninjutsu.” Mu himself was a master of chakra control and had developed Dust Release. The difficulty of Dust Release was much greater than Rasengan. Mu could naturally easily learn an A-rank ninjutsu like Rasengan.

“It seems to be a ninjutsu created by Minato Namikaze based on the Tailed Beast Ball.” Mu knew the principle, knew the process, and was more proficient in chakra control. A few hours later, Mu had already mastered Rasengan. With a thought, buzz! A high-speed rotating Rasengan appeared in Mu’s palm.

“It’s not difficult. Next, try to add the nature transformation of wind.” Mu looked at the rotating Rasengan in his hand. The next second, the unique green color of wind nature appeared. In just a few experiments, Mu had learned to use Wind Release: Rasengan.

“Not bad. If you add shape transformation, then it’s Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!” A hint of pride flashed in Mu’s eyes. He tried to add shape transformation to the Rasengan in his hand. Soon, a small Rasenshuriken appeared!

“That’s all. To go a step further, it would be Sage Art…” Now it was Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. If Sage Art was added, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken could be thrown out and then explode.

“Unfortunately, I don’t know Sage Art…” A dim light flashed in Mu’s eyes. He didn’t know Sage Art. If he obtained Sage Art, with his talent, he could go a step further and enter a new threshold. Even his Dust Release might go a step further! But this was just a fantasy. He hadn’t encountered any immortal fate yet. Not to mention the Three Great Sage Regions, he hadn’t even found a summonable beast to contract with yet. Gengetsu Hozuki at least had a clam. He had nothing. The Rock Golem could only be considered ninjutsu.

“Can I create Sage Art myself?” Mu quickly dismissed this idea. This was too impossible. If he had this strength, he could completely abandon being a ninja and start his own sect.

After learning Rasengan, Mu began to study the Shadow Clone Jutsu created by Tobirama Senju. This was simple and only required one hand seal. However, after Mu learned it, he felt it was a bit useless. This Shadow Clone Jutsu felt inferior to his own (Split Body).

“Forget it, too much to chew on.” Mu lay on the bed in the laboratory and fell into a deep sleep. He slept until noon the next day before waking up groggily. Flying back to the Tsuchikage building, he found that the officials of Iwagakure were anxiously waiting for him.

“Everyone, what’s wrong?” Mu slowly sat down in the Tsuchikage’s seat and asked.

“Lord Mu, we saw your previous proposal, and it is indeed perfect.”

“But the problem is, we Iwagakure simply don’t have that many people. The Ninja Academy needs teachers, the Anbu needs members, we need to arrange people to maintain the village, and we need to arrange some people to do missions to maintain the village’s funds,” an Iwagakure official stepped forward and spoke first. He first affirmed Mu’s idea, then pointed out the shortcomings.

Mu frowned slightly and thought carefully. It did seem to be a bit off. Iwagakure was in its initial stages of establishment and was currently lacking a large number of people. He had taken too big a step. Konoha was able to establish itself quickly because it had a large population and a superior geographical location that facilitated trade.

“How about this, let’s prioritize establishing commerce first.”

“You build two commercial streets for me, and I’ll go to the Daimyo to attract investment and see if we can get some industries to relocate to Iwagakure.” Mu thought for a moment and immediately made a plan. Everyone nodded.

“As for the problem of insufficient personnel… I’ll go discuss it with the Tsuchikage this afternoon and see if we can loosen the immigration policy. There are still many wandering ninja clans in many places, and we might be able to take them in at Iwagakure.” Mu put forward this plan. Everyone nodded again.

Then Mu went to the residence of the Tsuchikage, Ishigawa. After a brief discussion, Ishigawa said, “I am old. Iwagakure will be yours sooner or later. You can make decisions on these matters directly without asking me.” The implication was that although he did not yet have the title of Tsuchikage, he had the reality of Tsuchikage, so he should go ahead boldly!

In the afternoon, Mu left a (Split Body) to handle government affairs. His main body went alone to the Daimyo’s mansion in the Land of Earth’s capital.

The Daimyo’s mansion, a magnificent and solemn residence, showcased the noble status and supreme power of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth. Mu, led by a servant, passed through one vermilion gate after another, walked along winding corridors, and finally arrived at the Daimyo’s backyard. Deep inside the mansion, Mu saw an exquisite covered bridge, spanning over a pond. The pillars and railings of the covered bridge were carved with beautiful patterns, showing the superb craftsmanship of the artisans. Walking along the covered bridge, Mu came to the edge of the pond.

Here, an ancient pavilion stood quietly, blending in with the surrounding environment. The roof of the pavilion was covered with thick thatch, giving it a natural and rustic feel. In the pavilion, a pot-bellied, extremely obese man was leisurely sitting there. He was wearing a white (Imperial Robe), with wide sleeves that fluttered in the wind, as if he was completely enveloped in a white cloud. On his head, he wore a tall (black cap) inlaid with magnificent jewels, sparkling with dazzling light.

At this moment, the Daimyo was holding a long fishing rod in his hand, fishing in the pond with a relaxed expression. His other hand held a folding fan, which he occasionally fanned a few times, seemingly enjoying this moment of tranquility and comfort.
