Chapter 130
<span style="font-weight:400">Hearing Tobirama''s words, Mochizuki Hui nodded, though he felt a bit disappointed. He hadn’t yet had his fill of battle—there were so many powerful techniques he hadn’t used, especially his Light-based sword skills.
<span style="font-weight:400">Still, he understood that pushing Tobirama further might force him to use his forbidden jutsu, techniques meant for life-or-death situations. It wouldn’t be worth taking things that far for a sparring match.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hui, tell me more about this ‘Sage Mode’ of yours,” Tobirama said, curious about Hui’s current state and his sage mode.
<span style="font-weight:400">“To be honest, I’m not sure if what I have counts as Sage Mode,” Hui began. “But I’ve heard Jiraiya talk about it, and I realized my current state is pretty simr to what he described.” He paused, carefully choosing his words. He couldn’t just outright say he’d be a Sage, stronger than any typical user of Sage Mode. his only exposure to anything natural energy rted to was Jiraya, how would he exin his knowledge.
<span style="font-weight:400">“From what I learned from Jiraiya, Sage Mode is a state that allows a shinobi to use natural energy. When I woke up from that sleep, I discovered that a new energy had appeared within me—natural energy itself! Like my original light energy andter chakra, natural energy is now something I can freely use.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Unlike light energy, natural energy forms techniques much more easily, like the ones you saw me use just now. And it’s not just that—it’s made my body much stronger. My taijutsu, reflexes, and perception have all improved dramatically. I can sense more than ever before, like I can tap into a hiddenyer of the world.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Huiid out his current abilities one by one, and Tobirama’s expression grew more serious as he listened.
<span style="font-weight:400">When Hui finished, Tobirama was silent for a moment before he finally said, “This isn’t just Sage Mode. You’ve broken free from Sage Mode’s time limitation!”
<span style="font-weight:400">As someone with some knowledge of Sage Mode, Tobirama understood that what Hui described matched the Sage state closely—but with an important difference.
<span style="font-weight:400">Most shinobi had to master Sage Mode gradually to ess natural energy and increase its efficiency. Hui, on the other hand, seemed to have reached Sage Mode naturally, without needing any special training to ess it.
<span style="font-weight:400">For most shinobi, using Sage Mode meant entering a temporary state to wield natural energy. But Hui’s body already contained natural energy, meaning he was always in Sage Mode. To Tobirama, Hui wasn’t just in Sage Mode—he was a true Sage.
<span style="font-weight:400">The term “Sage” wasn’t unfamiliar to Tobirama. Stories of the legendary Sage of Six Paths had existed for generations, though Tobirama’s investigations into these stories had borne little fruit.
<span style="font-weight:400">Yet now, here was Hui—a true Sage in the flesh. It was far beyond anything Tobirama had expected.
<span style="font-weight:400">Thest time Hui had emerged from one of his slumbers, his power had surged; Tobirama had anticipated a simr increase this time, but he hadn’t expected it to be so dramatic. Hui’s power was no longer even human—it was something beyond.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Still, you’ve only been awake a short time, so more changes could happenter. For now, take some time to fully understand your body,” Tobirama advised, feeling that Hui’s importance had be almost equal to that of the entire vige.
<span style="font-weight:400">In Tobirama’s eyes, given a few more years of growth, Hui could secure a brilliant future for Konoha. Not only for the vige but for the entire shinobi world, he could transform the bnce of power, much like his brother had done when he brought an end to the Warring States Period and founded the shinobi vige system.
<span style="font-weight:400">A fully realized Mochizuki Hui could bring about a unified world, fulfilling Hashirama’s dream ofsting peace.
<span style="font-weight:400">After the battle ended, Hui returned to the Senju npound, where he sensed Tsunade’s chakra and realized she’de back.
<span style="font-weight:400">She hadn’t been on a mission—peace times meant fewer missions overall, and high-status n shinobi like Tsunade often left avable work to civilian shinobi, for whom missions were essential for survival.
<span style="font-weight:400">Any shortage of work could lead to discontent, and discontent bred unrest, which could eventually escte into internal conflict. Thus, for the sake of the vige, the ns willingly gave up many missions.
<span style="font-weight:400">Instead, Tsunade had been out training in medical ninjutsu, refining her skills, and nning a future medical ninja system for the vige. She dreamed that one day, every ninja team would have a skilled medic, improving survival rates for all.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hui, you’re awake!” Seeing him, Tsunade’s face lit up as she ran over and hugged him tightly. Though they’d been together for a while, their feelings had only grown deeper over time.
<span style="font-weight:400">Hui returned her embrace, his heart settling into calm contentment.
<span style="font-weight:400">During the Anbu war, he had lost his sense of direction and purpose, but Tsunade had been the star that guided him through those dark days.
<span style="font-weight:400">For Hui, she was his "brightest star in the night sky," his guiding light through life.
<span style="font-weight:400">For Tsunade, Hui was her other half, an irreceable presence.
<span style="font-weight:400">“As long as you’re awake, that’s all that matters,” Tsunade said, her words warming Hui’s heart as he held her even closer.
<span style="font-weight:400">The skies were clear, and a gentle breeze drifted through the serene courtyard where they stood.
<span style="font-weight:400">Sakura petals floated gently down, like a soft rain, as the two held each other tightly amidst the falling blossoms.
