Background / History

Mū served as Iwagakure's Second Tsuchikage. His teacher was Ishikawa, the First Tsuchikage; he also trained Ishikawa's grandson, Ōnoki. In Konoha's tenth year, Mū personally led Ōnoki to Konoha when Iwagakure requested diplomatic relations with the village. 761 887

At a later point, Mū and the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, confronted Uchiha Shin. The two Kage were overwhelmingly outmatched and killed without being able to effectively resist; Mū's death remained a defining source of fear for both men even after their revival. 888 897 1272 1274

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kabuto revived Mū through the Impure World Reincarnation. Under Kabuto's control, Mū summoned Uchiha Madara to the battlefield and was deployed alongside him against the Allied Shinobi Forces. 1273 1275

Appearance

Mū is usually depicted completely wrapped in bandages, giving him a mummy-like appearance. 888 1273

• His body, including his head, is covered from head to toe in bandages. 877 1273
• His bandaged appearance led Hozuki Gengetsu to mockingly call him a “mummy.” 888
• As an Impure World Reincarnation, his damaged body can reform from its dispersing dust. 1279

Personality

Mū is composed and pragmatic in battle. Even when facing Uchiha Madara's meteor, he immediately considered the consequences for himself and his fellow reanimated fighter rather than reacting impulsively. 1278

His memories of Uchiha Shin's power left a lasting impression on him. Upon seeing Shin again, Mū immediately recalled the absolute defeat that he and the Second Mizukage had suffered in life. 1274

Abilities & Skills

Dust Release

As the Second Tsuchikage, Mū possesses Dust Release, a Kekkei Tōta capable of erasing targets with blazing white chakra attacks.

• Fought Ōnoki with a white-light technique powerful enough to erase several stone pillars in passing. 1267
• Combined his Dust Release with Ōnoki's in the Dual Atomic Dismantling Jutsu. 885
• His Dust Release is dangerous enough that Ōnoki avoided using it near allied forces when Madara stood among them. 1277

Division Technique

Mū can divide himself into two genuine bodies rather than creating ordinary clones.

• Both divided bodies are real and can act independently. 1275
• Each body possesses half of Mū's original power after division. 1275
• Ōnoki initially believed Mū had been sealed before realizing that a divided body remained active. 1275

Earth Style

Mū uses Earth Style for deception, defense, and close-range combat.

• Employed Earth Substitution to evade a lethal sword strike. 694
• Used the Super Weighted Rock Technique to reinforce a direct taijutsu attack. 892
• Reduced his own weight to enhance his Body Flicker movement while attacking Uchiha Shin. 891

Impure World Reincarnation Body

After being revived by Kabuto, Mū could recover from destruction as long as the summoning remained active.

• He was caught beneath Madara's meteor strike but later reformed from Impure World Reincarnation dust. 1278 1279
• Madara considered defending against the meteor unnecessary because Mū would eventually regenerate. 1278

Relationships

• Ishikawa — Teacher; the First Tsuchikage was also Ōnoki's grandfather. 887
• Ōnoki — Student and Ishikawa's grandson; accompanied Mū on Iwagakure's diplomatic visit to Konoha and later fought him during the Fourth Shinobi World War. 761 1267
• Hozuki Gengetsu — Fellow Second Kage; fought beside Mū against Uchiha Shin, and both were killed in that encounter. 888 897 1272
• Uchiha Shin — The overwhelmingly powerful opponent responsible for Mū's death; Mū recognized him immediately after being reanimated. 1274
• Uchiha Madara — Reanimated alongside Mū during the Fourth Shinobi World War; Madara used Mū as an expendable ally during the meteor attack. 1273 1278
• Haku — Accompanied Mū in bringing Goku before King Yama in the Underworld. 4225
