At the same time, the main body of Mu, far away in the cave, also changed his expression, sensing the situation on the clone's side.
There are two possible judgments now: one is Senjutsu Chakra, and the other could be an unknown power.
Mu only knew of the existence of Senjutsu Chakra from the memories, but he didn't know what Senjutsu Chakra felt like.
"Should I abandon the clone?"
Mu hesitated for a few seconds; if his clone was gone, he would probably suffer a significant loss of vitality and need a long time to recover.
However, Mu was unwilling to give up this special energy.
What if it was an Immortal Technique? Wouldn't he have wasted this opportunity for nothing?
Moreover, from the recent contact, Mu noticed that this power was significantly different from ordinary Chakra; if he tried to tame this power for his own use, his strength would also increase.
Mu made up his mind: Do it!
He immediately controlled the distant clone to start attempting to tame this Chakra.
....
At this moment, the clone Mu was covered in feathers, but then suddenly reverted to normal in an instant, repeating the process of growing and receding feathers in an extremely bizarre manner.
Mu had a premonition that if he let this Chakra run wild, he might risk turning into a crow!
He hastily condensed his own Chakra to resist and balance it.
The two Chakras rapidly contended and resisted, eventually reaching a state of balance.
Mu was indeed a genius in Chakra control; as he delved deeper, he gradually got into the swing of things.
After a long while, Mu slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, an eerie Immortal Technique aura surged forth.
Mu looked at his body in surprise.
He seemed to have entered some kind of mode.
Could this be the Sage Mode from those memories?
"Then what exactly is this place? I remember that besides the Three Great Sage Regions, there were no other places with Immortal Technique inheritance in the memories, right….."
Mu waved his arm and casually performed Dust Release with a flick of his hand.
Buzz!
A pitch-black, angular cube of Dust Release appeared in his palms.
"Wait! I'm a clone right now!"
Mu looked at the Dust Release in his hand in astonishment.
He knew that his clone couldn't release Dust Release.
So what was this now?
"Could it be that I unknowingly cultivated Sage Mode…..."
Mu's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.
He took out a mirror from a scroll.
Mu saw himself in the mirror.
Although he was wrapped in bandages, just by looking at his pupils, he had already cultivated the so-called Sage Face.
His entire eyes were pitch black, like ink.
This must be the Sage Face from the memories.
Ryūchi Cave had vertical pupils, and Mount Myōboku had horizontal pupils.
His being pitch black like ink was not surprising.
"It's truly amazing; my sensory perception has expanded several times, and my stamina, agility, and strength have all significantly increased. No wonder the protagonist Naruto relied on Sage Mode; even Uchiha Madara in the later stages would try to seize Hashirama's Immortal Technique."
Mu marveled at the changes brought by Sage Mode.
Then, let me test how much the Ninjutsu's power has increased.
Mu actually didn't expect his Dust Release's power to increase.
He only hoped it could reduce the casting time and avoid being absorbed.
Because his Dust Release was already the number one killing move in Kage.
If it couldn't be absorbed, he believed it could sit at the same table as All-Killing Ash Bones.
It belonged to the category of 'no weaklings under this technique'!
"Immortal Art: Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
A powerful Senjutsu Chakra gathered in Mu's hand.
Under the enhancement of Sage Mode, the originally super long wind-up was forcibly compressed to one second!
In an instant, a black light illuminated the entire surroundings, accompanied by a buzzing roar, and this black light quickly disappeared.
With a loud bang, the ground seemed to be torn apart, dust flying, and smoke billowing.
When the smoke cleared,
A perfectly square deep pit appeared before his eyes, its walls smooth as a mirror.
"The power is greater than before, what about the long-range one?"
"Immortal Art: Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Mu's Dust Release could transform into two forms, close-range and long-range, according to his thoughts.
Close-range was similar to Ōnoki condensing a cube.
Long-range was a cylindrical shape fired outwards.
However, it was difficult to hit unless the opponent was quite large.
If it were like the Raikage, he wouldn't be able to hit him at all.
Mu clapped his hands again, condensing the black cylindrical Dust Release.
A horizontal sweep!
The black cylindrical Dust Release swept out with immense power; wherever it passed, hard rocks shattered into atoms, turning into dust and smoke!
"Hahahaha…."
Mu flew in the sky, holding the Dust Release light pillar with one hand, and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the technique's power.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Mu's eyes gradually returned to normal.
The Senjutsu Chakra also gradually dissipated.
"Can Sage Mode only last for five minutes?"
Mu slowly landed on the ground; from its appearance to its end, the Sage Mode duration was roughly only five minutes.
"But I can use methods similar to Naruto, utilizing Shadow Clones or my own clones to extend the duration of Sage Mode."
Mu's intelligent brain immediately came up with a countermeasure.
"Caw! Caw! Caw!"
At this moment, the previous three-legged crow slowly flew to Mu's shoulder.
"It's you, thank you. I didn't expect you wanted to lead me to find Immortal Technique, but why did you choose me?"
Mu asked, looking at the crow on his shoulder with confusion in his eyes.
However, the crow couldn't speak; it just slowly opened its mouth.
"Caw! Caw!"
A black scroll was spat out from the crow's mouth.
"You want to become my Summoning Animal?"
Mu looked at the scroll in astonishment.
Who said there was no such thing as a free lunch?
After carefully checking, Mu immediately signed the contract.
The moment the contract was established, Mu received information about this crow.
When Mu understood, he found that this crow was not an ordinary crow.
It was actually the Yatagarasu from mythology!
This crow was extraordinary.
In mythology, it was the manager of the boundary between life and death, coexisting with death.
As long as death existed in the world, it would not disappear.
And the prototype of Yatagarasu was even more heaven-defying; its prototype was the three-legged crow.
"Caw! Caw! Caw~~~"
Suddenly, the crow flapped its wings.
Immediately after, three shining weapons floated above the contract scroll.
"It's actually….Yata Mirror, Totsuka Blade, and Yasaka Magatama!"
Mu's eyes sparkled as he looked at these three divine artifacts.
He even suspected that Uchiha Itachi's divine artifacts in the original work were obtained from this crow.
Speaking of which, Uchiha Itachi was also very skilled at using crow techniques.
"Could it be that I intercepted Itachi's divine artifacts?"
Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then Uchiha Itachi wouldn't be able to get the divine artifacts?
Forget it.
These things would be useless even if given to Itachi.
A sickly person couldn't handle them.
Uchiha Itachi, Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror are too profound; you can't handle them.
