Reborn in Konoha; I Think I’m Cultivating Immortality

As Mochizuki Hui finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling his forces to attack.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

The Uchiha clan shinobi unleashed waves of Fire Release, while those skilled in Wind Release amplified the flames, turning them into a massive, fiery onslaught that spread across the battlefield.

Positioned on the high ground, Konoha's ninjutsu cascaded down onto the Kumogakure forces below like a tidal wave of fire, forcing the enemy into rapid defensive action.

Though Kumogakure's shinobi primarily specialized in Lightning Release, the last Great Ninja War had taught them a hard lesson. 

Since then, they had trained some ninja in Earth and Water Release to better diversify their tactics.

Quickly, walls of earth and veils of water sprang up, blocking the flames and shielding Kumogakure's forces. 

However, this defensive action also stalled their advance, narrowing their already limited approach through the staggered terrain of Moonfall Mountain.

The steps of the mountain formed natural barriers, giving Konoha's forces a strong strategic advantage. 

The Second Raikage couldn't help but grit his teeth in frustration at Kumogakure's lack of a true Earth Release expert.

Just as Kumogakure's forces managed to repel the flames, another wave of jutsu descended from above—Water Release: Great Waterfall Jutsu—the cascading torrent sweeping down with added force due to the high ground.

This led to a fierce exchange of ninjutsu between the two sides, with attacks and counterattacks filling the battlefield. 

In the brutal ebb and flow of ninja warfare, the battle often began with a clash of powerful jutsu before descending into close-quarters combat. 

For most standard shinobi, chakra was a finite resource—after a few jutsu, they would be forced to rely on physical combat to conserve energy.

However, under Mochizuki Hui's command, the Konoha forces launched a relentless barrage, as if they had an endless supply of chakra. 

This forced the Kumogakure shinobi to waste their own chakra on defensive jutsu.

Finally, the Konoha side began to reach their limit, many ninja depleted after expending significant chakra. 

Meanwhile, Kumogakure, with four times their numbers, had only exhausted the chakra reserves of those capable of Earth and Water Release. The majority still had plenty of energy and stood ready for a full assault.

"It seems Konoha's forgotten how to wage war after so many years of peace," remarked a Kumogakure elite, lightning crackling along the blade he held, poised to charge up the mountainside.

Even the Second Raikage A began to think Konoha had made a tactical blunder.

Only the Third Raikage held back, sensing something amiss. Having been outmaneuvered by Mochizuki Hui during the Land of Whirlpool incident, he had learned not to underestimate him. 

And his instincts proved correct when Hui reappeared on a high ledge, gazing down with a faint smirk.

"So, it seems that Kumogakure doesn't have many shinobi capable of defending against this next attack. Now, what will you do?"

His words caused a ripple of unease among the Kumogakure forces below as they watched him weave hand signs.

Sage Art: Fire Release—Majestic Destroyer Flame!

Instantly, the sky was engulfed in fiery red. What began as a stream of flame from Mochizuki Hui's mouth transformed mid-air into a vast, blinding inferno that stretched across the horizon, blanketing the battlefield in a wall of fire.

The enormous wave of flames descended like an apocalyptic storm, its heat intense enough to scorch the very rocks and strip the earth. The scene was nightmarish, as if a flaming hell had erupted, engulfing everything in its path.

Kumogakure's shinobi watched in horror as the fire surged toward them, scrambling to form hand seals for defensive Earth and Water Release jutsu. 

But the hastily formed earth walls crumbled before they could fully rise, and water barriers vaporized into steam the moment they met the flames.

The Majestic Destroyer Flame was already a formidable Fire Release jutsu with a sweeping range, but infused with Sage Chakra, its power had grown exponentially. The firestorm was now an unstoppable tsunami, capable of obliterating everything in its path.

"Argh!!"

Screams of agony echoed as dozens of Kumogakure shinobi were consumed by the inferno, their bodies incinerated in moments. 

The sight of their comrades engulfed in the Sage-powered fire left the remaining Kumogakure forces stricken with fear, their spirits shattered.

Behind Hui, the Uchiha clan members stared in awe, stunned into silence. 

Known for their mastery of Fire Release, the Uchiha were accustomed to wielding flames, yet the inferno before them was on a level they had never witnessed.

Suddenly, their own fire jutsu seemed like mere sparks.

Among the older Uchiha, some forty-year-old veterans looked at Mochizuki Hui's back and felt an eerie familiarity. 

For an instant, it was as if they were looking at Uchiha Madara himself. This was his jutsu—the Majestic Destroyer Flame—but in Mochizuki Hui's hands, its scale and power were even greater.

Not only the Uchiha, but all the Konoha shinobi watched the devastating firestorm in stunned silence, their faces flushed red from the heat rising from below. Gradually, their shock transformed into exhilaration.

"Amazing! Hui-sama is incredible!"

"It's like he's some kind of fire god brought to life!"

"With him leading us, there's no way we can lose!"

As the Konoha forces cheered, Mochizuki Hui finally stopped releasing fire. 

Even then, the flames below continued to burn for several more seconds before they died down, revealing scorched ground and the charred remains of two or three hundred Kumogakure shinobi. 

The survivors had withdrawn far back, their horrified gazes fixed on Mochizuki Hui from a safe distance.

"How… How can there be such a terrifying Fire Release jutsu in the ninja world?"

"So this is the 'Ghost' of Konoha… He's like a god of flames!"

"I barely escaped with my life. I thought I'd be burned alive!"

The Kumogakure ninja murmured among themselves, their voices trembling with shock. 

The memory of that colossal wall of fire had been seared into their minds, a sight they would never forget.

Even the Second Raikage, A, stood frozen, his eyes locked onto the figure of the sixteen-year-old youth across the field. An unsettling chill crept over him.

Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flame.

As a contemporary of Uchiha Madara, the Second Raikage was intimately familiar with the technique. He never imagined that, after Madara's defection and defeat by the First Hokage, someone would revive this jutsu—and to such devastating effect.

What he didn't realize, however, was that this was Sage Art: Fire Release—Majestic Destroyer Flame, augmented with Sage Chakra to multiply its power several times over.

In that moment, as he looked at Mochizuki Hui, the Second Raikage couldn't help but see an echo of Madara himself.

"It's as if… Mochizuki Hui is more than the successor of Tobirama. He's a combination of Tobirama Senju and Madara Uchiha."
