Mū

Biodata

Background

Mū served as Iwagakure's Second Tsuchikage and was the teacher of Ōnoki, the future Third Tsuchikage. In the early Ninja Wars, he and Kirigakure's Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hōzuki, killed one another in mutual destruction. His body was reportedly covered in bandages because of injuries inflicted by Gengetsu's ninjutsu. 184 234

During the later war, Mū was revived through Reanimation Jutsu and placed under Hiruzen Sarutobi's control. He confronted Itachi Uchiha, who chose to delay him with genjutsu and speed while searching for a weakness through his Mangekyō Sharingan. 234

Story Role / Major Arcs

Reanimated Shinobi War

Mū is resurrected alongside other deceased shinobi and deployed against Konoha. He faces Itachi Uchiha, whose initial strategy is to keep him occupied while identifying a possible weakness. 234

Madara's Resurrection

Under Hiruzen's control, Mū uses Reanimation Jutsu to bring forth Madara Uchiha. Madara immediately recognizes that his resurrection is incomplete and differs from the true flesh-and-blood revival he expected. 239 240
