Reborn in Konoha; I Think I’m Cultivating Immortality

Chapter 46: Eleven-Year-Old Mochizuki Hui

In the twenty-first year of Konoha, Mochizuki Hui felt like he was living in hell.

From six in the morning until ten at night, his schedule was packed to the brim. Reminding him of his exhausting high school senior year before he transmigrated.

It was terrifying!

Of course, after enduring such a rigorous schedule for a year, the rewards were immense. His overall strength had seen incredible growth.

In terms of ninjutsu, because he had chakra of all five basic elements, he had mastered nearly everything he could learn—except for certain forbidden techniques like Edo Tensei (Reanimation), Shiki Fujin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal), and Tandem Paper Bombs, which Tobirama forbade him from learning.

Tobirama did want Mochizuki Hui to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, but Hui’s body hadn’t yet developed spatial abilities, and he couldn’t sense spatial energy, so it was impossible for him to master the jutsu.

Even so, Mochizuki Hui was already impressive enough.

However, his limited chakra capacity constrained him. Otherwise, he would have felt invincible.

But then, thinking about the Ōtsutsuki family and the future overpowered characters, Mochizuki Hui realized he still had a long way to go.

So, he decided to stay humble.

Not only had his strength increased, but his knowledge had grown as well.

This past year—and indeed, the last few years—he had studied relentlessly, never relaxing. Given his extraordinary intellect and comprehension, despite being only eleven, Mochizuki Hui had amassed a vast amount of knowledge that many people wouldn’t achieve in a lifetime.

This was his hidden strength, but it was also a crucial part of his overall capabilities.

After all, being a powerful shinobi wasn’t just about raw strength—intelligence, emotional intelligence, and combat experience were all equally important.

One only had to look at the battle between Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths-era Naruto and Sasuke to see the truth of this. If Kaguya had possessed Uchiha Madara’s intelligence, emotional intelligence, and battle experience, the outcome of that battle would have been very different.

One evening, Mochizuki Hui sat in his home, pulling out a piece of paper to assess his current state comprehensively.

Name: Mochizuki Hui

Age: 11 (Born in Konoha Year 10)

Power Boost: Yuan Qi (Primal Energy)

Fully Assimilated: Light energy, chakra.

In Progress: Natural energy (Estimated completion: five to six years)

Physical Abilities:

Chakra System:

• Taijutsu: Konoha-style taijutsu.
• Kenjutsu: Konoha-style kenjutsu.
• Ninjutsu: Multiple elemental ninjutsu (too many to list).
• Genjutsu: Techniques like Bringer-of-Darkness, Temple of Nirvana, Fox Mind, Mist Servant, Tree Binding Death, and others.

Light Energy System:

• Kenjutsu: Techniques like Silver Moon and Radiance.
• Other Light Techniques: Various.

(Details on Light Energy techniques will be explained in the story as they appear.)

Soft Skills: Vast knowledge base, equivalent to a PhD-level scholar in the ninja world.

Strengths: Handsome, knowledgeable, wise, calm (a thousand other merits omitted).

Weaknesses: Limited energy capacity—equivalent to Kakashi’s chakra reserves.

Overall Strength: Elite Jonin.

Eleven years old and already an elite jonin.

This was the assessment Mochizuki Hui gave himself, and it was confirmed by Tobirama Senju—although not without a side eye.

It was also a fair evaluation.

Mochizuki Hui was now somewhat similar to the future Kakashi, proficient in all elemental ninjutsu, taijutsu, and kenjutsu. He understood everything, and was excelled in all fields.

However, his limited energy capacity prevented him from fully utilizing his theoretical peak strength, which kept him classified as an elite jonin.

“I never thought the thing holding back my strength would be my energy reserves. I’m damn speechless,” Mochizuki Hui muttered to himself, feeling a bit helpless.

In terms of energy, Mochizuki Hui actually had a considerable amount of Yuan Qi in his body. However, it wasn’t under his control since it was still busy assimilating natural energy. For now, he could only tap into a small portion of it—equivalent to what he imagined was Kakashi’s chakra reserves.

But his available energy was slowly increasing over time. Right now, it grew at a rate of about one "Kakashi unit" per year.

“Well, at least my recovery rate is good,” Mochizuki Hui said, somewhat satisfied. Although his usable Yuan Qi was limited, it replenished quickly.

He had compared his recovery rate with others and found that it was about five times faster than the average shinobi. This meant that if a normal ninja needed five hours to fully recover their chakra, Mochizuki Hui could do it in just one.

“If only my chakra recovery was as ridiculous as my stamina recovery, I’d be a walking ninjutsu machine gun,”

His stamina recovery was indeed outrageous. He had trained with Might Duy for an entire day once. By the end of it, Duy was lying on the ground like a dead dog, while Mochizuki Hui was still ready to go for another round—or several.

According to Tobirama, his stamina recovery was simply monstrous.

Might Duy, on the other hand, said nothing—he simply questioned his life choices.

His healing rate for injuries was also fast, though not as absurd as his stamina recovery. It was about ten times faster than the average ninja.

“So, technically, I’m stronger than Kakashi when he’s in his elite jonin mode, huh? I guess I could say that. But I wonder if I’m at kage level yet…”

Mochizuki Hui murmured to himself before summoning a small flame in his palm and burning the piece of paper.

This was a jutsu he performed without hand seals. Actually, it couldn’t even be called a proper jutsu—it was a direct use of chakra without seals as a medium.

After all, real shinobi don’t need hand seals~

Of course, because it was a direct use of chakra, or maybe because his chakra came from a different source, the power was much smaller.

“I finally have a day off tomorrow. I should spend it with Tsunade,” Mochizuki Hui said, a soft smile forming on his face as he thought of her.
