Reborn in Konoha; I Think I’m Cultivating Immortality

The moment Tobirama's words fell, a wave of long, thunderous cheers erupted.

The joy of the people could be heard across the entire Konoha.

After a long while, at Tobirama's signal, the sound gradually subsided.

"Next, let's welcome our Third Hokage—Mochizuki Hui!"

As soon as Senju Tobirama finished, he turned his gaze toward Hui.

Immediately, all eyes below the platform turned toward the figure they so admired, gazing upward with great anticipation.

Hui heard Tobirama's words and took a deep breath.

On such an occasion, he did not feel nervous at all.

However, a sense of responsibility and mission swelled within him.

He knew that from this moment forward, his life would no longer belonged to just himself—

He was now the Third Hokage of Konoha.

With this in mind, Hui walked step by step to the front of the platform.

he looked at the people below, at their adoring, glowing eyes that seemed to sparkle like stars.

At this moment, a wave of passion surged through his chest.

Hui spoke.

"From today onward, I am the Third Hokage of Konoha!"

With this simple sentence, Konoha exploded.

It ignited the hearts of every single person.

"AHHHHHH!!!"

Screams, cheers, laughter, and jubilant dancing filled the village.

At this moment, the entire Konoha erupted with uncontrollable excitement.

"SO COOL!!!"

The girls, their hands holding their flushed cheeks, gazed at Mochizuki Hui's strikingly handsome face and that stunning Hokage cloak.

This image etched itself into their hearts, a sight they would never forget.

"HUI"

Unlike the girls, the boys' faces turned red with fervor. Their eyes burned with admiration as they shouted Hui's name at the top of their lungs, nearly losing their minds in the process.

Looking at that figure standing in the spotlight, who didn't want to be like Hui?

To stand in that position, basking in the cheers of the people?

At this moment, countless people across Konoha secretly made becoming Hokage their life goal.

"Third! Third! Third!"

Gradually, chants of "Third" filled the crowd, cementing Hui's new title.

At this moment, regardless of age or gender, whether ninja or ordinary citizens, everyone was caught in wild celebration.

It was like the most insane concert in the modern world, except here, every single person was a die-hard fan of Hui.

For them, Hui's simple sentence was the sweetest melody, the coolest dance, the most exhilarating speech, and the most thunderous sound.

Some people screamed so hard that they fainted from lack of oxygen, forcing the ANBU hidden in the shadows to step in and carry them off for medical treatment, though they were left helplessly speechless by the absurdity.

"AHHHH! When I grow up, I'll be Hokage! I'll be just like Brother-in-law and become the Fourth Hokage!"

Nawaki screamed excitedly, completely disregarding his image, throwing his "coolness principles" out the window.

At this moment, he only wanted to grow up quickly, to become like Hui—

To become the Hokage of the village.

Surprisingly, the Nine-Tails within Nawaki did not berate him but instead lay calmly, observing Hui from within.

It was uncertain what the fox was thinking as it finally murmured softly,

"He's becoming more and more like that old man."

Not just Nawaki—even Jiraiya, who only had eyes for beautiful women, couldn't stop himself from feeling a surge of ambition to become Hokage.

Looking at Hui's figure and hearing the deafening cheers, Jiraiya's eyes sparkled with envy.

"If I were Hokage…"

He wanted to say something grand, but his thoughts suddenly veered off track.

"Then a ton of beautiful girls would definitely like me!"

This made Orochimaru twitch at the corner of his mouth, speechless.

Still, Orochimaru looked at Hui, a rare smile on his lips.

Hui was like a light, dazzling as he stood in the stage.

From Hui, he could feel warmth. Of a friend, of a family.

Even though snakes were cold-blooded creatures, they could also feel warmth.

And what's more—snakes could transform into dragons.

"So handsome…"

Kage murmured dreamily. Hui held an extraordinarily special place in her heart. She had already been captivated by the name Hui.

"Hui-kun truly lives up to his name!"

Uzumaki Mina smiled radiantly, her eyes glimmering. Hui was just too outstanding and far too mesmerizing.

"Someday, I want to be like Big Brother Hui!"

Beside her, young Konan's eyes sparkled like two bright stars. She was still small, but she understood that Hui had saved her from the depths of hell and brought her to Konoha, a paradise-like place.

Living here, Konan came to learn more about Hui—his past and what he meant to the people of Konoha.

This changed Konan's heart. She, too, wanted to become someone like Hui.

If Hui was the god who brought peace, light, and hope to Konoha,

Then Konan wanted to become the angel who guarded the god, the village, and the people.

Tsunade smiled gently. Looking at Hui, she remembered the boy who used to grumble, "I'll never be Hokage—what a pain in the neck!"

And now, that very boy had become what he once despised. He carried the heaviest burden of all, becoming the light that illuminated Konoha, the shinobi world, and the future.

That light—was her Hui.

Elsewhere, Sakumo looked at Hui, recalling their first meeting.

Even back then, he felt that this person would one day become the very someone significant, a light, illuminating Konoha, the shinobi world, and the people.

Now, Sakumo firmly believed that Hui was that light.

"How enviable."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke softly. Beside him, Shimura Danzo nodded instinctively.

"If I can't be Hokage, then I'll help the Hokage create a new future for the shinobi world."

Danzo's final shred of obsession faded, leaving him at peace. He fully accepted Hui as Hokage and his own inability to achieve the same position.

"Yes. The shinobi world will enter a new era, and we won't just be witnesses, we'll be participants, leaving a mark in its history."

Hiruzen's eyes gleamed as he spoke.

Danzo's gaze brightened as well. He was no pacifist; he dreamed of unifying the shinobi world.

"I look forward to the Third Hokage's era—it will surely be magnificent."

The Uchiha clan leader spoke, secretly elated. Finally, the Uchiha clan's good days had arrived.

"Perhaps we'll witness an era unlike any before it—one more spectacular and grand than anything in the past thousand years."

The Hyuga clan leader added. His Byakugan could see many things others could not. Though he could not perceive the qi within Hui's body, he saw the changes in Hui's physique and his terrifying reserves of Natural Chakra.

So he knew that Hui's power far exceeded what anyone imagined.

"Uchiha, Senju, Hyuga, Uzumaki. Who would have thought the four great clans would follow one person to create a new era?"

Uzumaki Suihei remarked. The Uchiha, Hyuga, and Senju elders beside him paused briefly, then nodded with deep emotion.

"But that's for later. For now, let's enjoy this rare celebration!"

Suihei laughed heartily.

Today was the day the Third Hokage took office—

A day to celebrate wildly!
