Chapter 306

Primordial Yuan Qi had always been Hui's greatest cheat, the primary reason he had grown to his current level of power.

Because of Hui's Qi, his body could continuously evolve, possessing limitless potential for growth. 

Looking back at everything Hui had assimilated over the past twenty-four years, every single one of them was vital.

Light energy accelerated Hui's evolutionary process and allowed him to replenish his energy anytime and anywhere, making it so he almost didn't need any other resources on his cultivation journey.

Chakra propelled Hui's strength to a new level, enabling him to learn and utilize many jutsu in this world. This was a pivotal transformation in Hui's power.

Natural energy once again sped up Hui's evolution and elevated his strength, allowing him to stand at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World in such a short period.

The power of life granted Hui endless vitality and boundless possibilities.

As long as he was alive, there was always hope.

And now, Hui was preparing to assimilate a fifth type of energy.

Sensing the energy around him, a smile crept onto Hui's lips as he made his choice.

"Then, it's you… Space."

Hui spoke, and this time, his target for assimilation was space itself!

Hui had no innate talent for spatial manipulation, which meant he had been unable to learn the Flying Thunder God technique.

This had always been a regret for him, as well as for Tobirama Senju, the creator of the technique.

But now, that regret was about to be remedied.

After his eyes awakened the ability to manipulate space, Hui now possessed a spatial talent. He could finally perceive the structure of space itself!

Without hesitation, Hui chose spatial power as his next target for assimilation.

One could only imagine how Hui's strength would undergo a seismic transformation once he assimilated spatial energy.

With spatial powers, Hui would gain countless abilities.

For example, like Obito, he could redirect enemy attacks into a different dimension during battle, granting him the ability to "phase" and become immune to attacks.

Like Kakashi, he could use spatial distortion to tear apart the enemy's body.

And like Minato, he could use space to set up barriers to transfer enemy attacks.

Moreover, Hui would also be able to achieve his version of the Flying Thunder God technique—not Tobirama or Minato's version, but one entirely unique to Hui.

Perhaps he wouldn't even need to leave marks; he could directly perform spatial teleportation!

The possibilities were endless. 

Once spatial power was assimilated, unless his opponent also possessed spatial capabilities, it would be nearly impossible to harm him.

This thought excited Hui so much that he couldn't help but grin.

The next moment, the Qi within him captured the essence of spatial power and began devouring and assimilating it.

"This process… seems like it won't be short. Still, after being slapped in the face by my own predictions before, I wouldn't dare to estimate how many years this will take," Hui murmured.

He didn't bother speculating how long it would take to fully assimilate spatial power. When the time came, it would naturally be complete.

[A/N: This time, I won't get slapped in the face by my own setup!]

"This transformation… it truly is a step toward invincibility," Hui muttered to himself, satisfied with this evolution.

"I just wonder when the next transformation will come… And when it does, what level will I reach?"

Hui couldn't help but look forward to the future.

His future was bright, full of boundless potential.

"Now it's the thirty-fourth year since the founding of Konoha. There are less than seven years left until the fifteen-year agreement expires."

"Seven years from now, I'll unify the Shinobi World."

"It's time to lead this world into a new era, to let its people see the light."

Hui's voice was calm but resolute.

"The era of Shinobi Villages… let it exist a little longer. Seven years from now, this world will enter a new age—the age of a unified Shinobi World, where everyone becomes a sage, where everyone ascends to immortality."

"So then, should I lead the immortal shinobi of this world to challenge the Ōtsutsuki clan? What kinds of beings exist out there in this universe, in the boundless starry skies?"

Hui's gaze pierced through the ceiling, looking toward the sky. Even though it was daytime and the sky was a clear blue, Hui seemed to see the brilliant Milky Way, the mysterious races within the cosmos.

This universe was vast, filled with unknowns awaiting Hui's exploration.

Pulling his thoughts back, Hui temporarily set aside his musings.

For now, he needed to make Konoha into the village he envisioned and transform the Shinobi World into the one he imagined.

Suddenly, Hui's expression shifted. He turned and walked to the bedside.

Tsunade's breathing pattern had changed. It seemed like she was waking up.

Sure enough, after a few seconds, Tsunade opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was her fiancé, the man she loved most.

Happiness filled Tsunade as she lazily wrapped her arms around Hui's neck, gazing at him with a smile. She couldn't resist giving him a quick kiss.

"Hmph, such a handsome man is all mine!"

Hearing her thoughts, Hui couldn't help but chuckle.

Tsunade, noticing his sudden laughter, looked puzzled.

Hui, of course, wouldn't reveal his ability to hear others' thoughts. Such an ability was too invasive and could make people defensive around him, creating barriers in their relationships.

"Let's go eat some grilled chicken. I haven't had it in a while!" Tsunade said. She had been staying by Hui's side for a long time and hadn't enjoyed much good food during that time.

Hui, knowing her true thoughts, understood she just wanted to spend more time with him.

Feeling a twinge of guilt and affection, Hui smiled and said, "Alright, let's go. We'll eat to our hearts' content today."

Tsunade gave him another quick kiss, her soft lips sweet and tantalizing. Hui couldn't help but feel a spark of heat within him.

Grinning mischievously, he said, "Before we eat grilled chicken, I think I need to have a little appetizer."

Tsunade blinked in confusion.

Hui pulled her into his arms and, with a tender smile, whispered, "You."

The room filled with passion as the two shared an intimate moment.

After their interlude, the two dressed and headed toward Konoha's food district.

There was a famous grilled chicken shop there, one that Hui had originally discovered in Uzushio. After the dissolution of Uzushio, the Uzumaki clan had relocated to Konoha, bringing the shop with them.

As the couple walked through the village, Hui's presence drew attention.

"Lord Hui!"

Members of the Senju clan greeted him enthusiastically, their voices filled with admiration.

They didn't call him "Third Hokage," instead addressing him as "Lord Hui."

Many in the Senju clan had watched Hui grow up, and their respect for him ran deep.

"Brother-in-law!"

Nawaki spotted Hui from a distance, his eyes lighting up with joy. However, he didn't approach, knowing that Hui probably wanted to spend time alone with Tsunade.

As they walked toward the bustling streets, Hui's presence almost caused a traffic jam. The villagers were ecstatic to see him.

"Hui?!"

A familiar voice called out from behind. Hui didn't even need to turn around to know who it was.

"Sakumo? it's been a while… and this is?"

Hui turned to see a surprising sight.

It wasn't just Sakumo. Beside him was a young woman with a gentle face, her arm linked with his.

It should have been natural after all, Hui hadn't seen Sakumo for over a year if he still hadn't found a girlfriend, Hui'd have to seriously doubt his friends' interests. 

That wasn't the shocking part, however. 

The part that shocked him the most was that, the woman… was heavily pregnant.
