Background / History
Mumu was an unnamed child before meeting Madara and the Skywater Academy group. Madara initially considered naming him “Senju,” but Shui Bing'er proposed “Mumu” because of the boy's wood Martial Soul. Madara accepted the name and declared that he would take Mumu as his disciple, though he temporarily entrusted the child to Shui Bing'er and her companions while exploring deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest 134.
Spirit Hall had regarded Mumu's wood Spirit as a Waste Spirit, but Madara found it weak only in its current state and recognized its quality and potential. After retrieving Mumu, Madara began testing his Spirit power and took responsibility for his training 138.
Madara summoned Kurama to oversee Mumu's early exercises, which included tree climbing and water walking to develop Soul Power control. Mumu struggled with the drills but persisted, while Kurama alternated between training him and mocking his failures 139 145.
Madara later suppressed Mumu's natural breakthrough to establish a stronger foundation. He tempered Mumu's body and combat skills through sparring against suitable Spirit Beasts before allowing him to obtain his first Spirit Ring 169.
At Sunset Forest, Mumu fought a 500-year-old Spirit Devouring Vine alone under Madara's harsh supervision. Although Madara intervened when the vine fully restrained him, Mumu severed its roots himself and absorbed its ring, becoming a One-Ring Soul Master 172.
Following the Spirit Hall crisis, Madara entrusted Mumu to Xiao Wu in the Star Dou Great Forest. There, Mumu trained around the Lake of Life and lived under Xiao Wu, Er Ming, and Daming's protection, though his lack of Wood Release progress initially disappointed Madara 234 270.
Madara later presented Mumu with his preserved Sharingan, believing that Mumu possessed the capacity to bear Uchiha power. Mumu accepted the burden despite the risks, trusting his master's judgment 286.
During Spirit Hall's attack on the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu's sacrifice drove Mumu to awaken his Wood Release and Sharingan-derived power. He broke the confinement trapping Daming and Er Ming, devastated Spirit Hall's forces, and overwhelmed Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo through a colossal Wood Release manifestation 297 298 299.
Appearance
Mumu first appears as a small, adorable young boy. After years in the Star Dou Great Forest, he grows into a refined, long-haired youth, though his appearance is often disheveled due to his mischievous lifestyle 138 270 297.
- Initially described as a young boy with tender white hands and slightly chubby cheeks 169 172.
- At nearly ten years old, he is almost as tall as Madara's chest 270.
- His black hair later grows long and hangs loosely around his shoulders 270 297.
- While living with Xiao Wu, he is frequently filthy and dressed in altered, brightly colored clothing from her wardrobe 270.
- His eyes develop blood-red coloration and tomoe markings during his Wood Release awakening 298.
Personality
Mumu is sensitive, emotionally volatile, and deeply attached to Madara. He can shift from despair to excitement almost instantly, particularly whenever he believes Madara dislikes or intends to abandon him 138.
Despite this sensitivity, Mumu is stubborn and determined. He willingly accepts difficult training, fights through fear of disappointing Madara, and continues attacking the Spirit Devouring Vine even while injured and exhausted 139 172.
Away from Madara's supervision, Mumu is mischievous and troublesome. He manipulates trees to play dangerous games, including dropping boulders onto Pan Chui's chest, and becomes a source of anxiety for the inn's residents, Er Ming, and Kurama 169 270.
His greatest motivation is protecting the people he considers family. Xiao Wu's sacrifice causes his grief and rage to erupt into a destructive awakening, as he rejects a world that repeatedly takes away those he loves 297 298.

Story Role / Major Arcs
Madara's Disciple
Mumu is introduced as an unnamed child taken in by Madara. His wood Martial Soul and resemblance to Hashirama's potential lead Madara to accept him as a disciple 134.
Foundational Training

First Spirit Ring
Mumu confronts the Spirit Devouring Vine in Sunset Forest and earns his first Spirit Ring through a brutal solo struggle. His resulting Tree Binding Eternal Burial establishes his role as a control-type Wood Release user 172.
Star Dou Great Forest Guardianship
After the Spirit Hall conflict, Mumu remains with Xiao Wu and the Great Forest's Spirit Beasts. Exposure to the Lake of Life rapidly strengthens his Soul Power and physique, though Madara remains dissatisfied with his incomplete Wood Release 234 270.
Inheritance of Uchiha Power

Thousand-Armed Buddha
Drawing upon the forest and Lake of Life, Mumu manifests the Susanoo-Clad Buddha-like Thousand-Armed form. The attack defeats Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, confirming the scale of his potential in a life-energy-rich battlefield 298 299.
Trivia
- Madara initially wanted to name Mumu “Senju,” but Shui Bing'er's “Mumu” was chosen instead 134.

- Mumu's Wood Release is repeatedly associated with Hashirama Senju, leading Madara to suspect that Mumu may be Hashirama's reincarnation 180 234.
