However, sheer numbers were not enough against Uchiha Mu. His combat prowess was already formidable, and with Sage Mode's extraordinary sensory abilities, he walked calmly into the chaotic ranks like an accomplished dancer. With every step, another ninja fell and never rose again.
Within moments, corpses littered the battlefield. The surviving ninja could no longer hold out and dropped to their knees in surrender. Of course, a few who coveted the Six Paths Tools could not resist trying to forcefully wield them against Uchiha Mu, only for him to roll right over them like speed bumps.
The purge followed. Uchiha Mu showed no mercy to anyone who harbored thoughts of resistance. Everyone who surrendered was sent to mine, and in the harsh environment of the Land of Wind, no less.
After assigning White Zetsu his duties and teaching him some Scientific Ninjutsu, Uchiha Mu left.
News from Kusagakure did not draw any outside attention. With Uchiha Mu's clone personally handling things, nobody had escaped, and the great nations had not even bothered planting spies in such a shabby little village.
Seriously, did they think ninja suited to espionage grew on trees? Try sending Guy out as a spy. Besides talent, training one took considerable effort. Just look at the advanced training program in Root, run by Danzo, the Darkness of the Shinobi World.
To Uchiha Mu, the Land of Grass was merely a necessary link between the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation and Amegakure. It held little importance to him, and its population was small and consisted mostly of criminals.
A few days later, the Senju Brothers returned home. Soon afterward, White Zetsu relayed some explosive news: Hashirama had stepped down, and Tobirama Senju had succeeded him as the Second Hokage. The new Hokage was not someone who could sit idle, either.
