Mochizuki are a cadet branch of the Shigeno. The name "Mochizuki" refers to a special breed of Horse the Shigeno unveiled in 865 a.d. on a full moon ("Mochizuki") day to the Emperor during the Komabiki ceremony (horse reviewing ceremony). This breed of horse was so successful that the branch of the Shigeno family living in Shinano Province would specialize in breeding this horse and, eventually, change its name from Shigeno to Mochizuki. This did happen around the 900 a.d. HOWEVER, the House of Mochizuki did not engage in ninjutsu/shinobi-no-jutsu until Mochizuki Izumo-no-Kami was greatly impressed by a group of Koka ninja (shinobi) who defended the House of Rokkaku from the Ashikaga Shogun in 1487. (Thus, clearly establishing that Koka shinobi-no-mono already existed prior to the House of Mochizuki adopting their tactics in the late 1400s. This neutralizes the orignial post completely).

Also, i must point out, that "genjutsu" is also a modern term as well. Point being, I am not sure who wrote the original post, but it is wrong.
