Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

It was indeed dangerous to investigate Akatsuki, but Orochimaru was very confident in himself and agreed with unusual decisiveness.

Shinichi didn't answer, but instead glanced at Jiraiya.

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Jiraiya pondered for a moment:

“Sooner rather than later.”

"Leave immediately."

Jiraiya was somewhat impatient; after learning that the Akatsuki leader possessed the Rinnegan, he could hardly contain himself.

Shinichi Hyuga's expression darkened slightly. He didn't raise any objections but silently used the Flying Thunder God Technique to pass on the scroll Orochimaru had given him.

...

Konoha Village.

Suddenly, the door to the Hokage's office was knocked open. Minato, who was busy with official business, looked up and saw Kushina enter the room.

"what happened?"

Minato looked at his wife with gentle eyes and asked softly.

"Shinichi has sent a message back."

"It's about the person who attacked Konoha back then."

With that, Kushina handed the scroll to Minato.

This scroll contained information about Akatsuki that Shinichi had sent out. Along with this scroll, a handwritten letter from Shinichi was also sent back to Konoha, which Kushina had tucked inside the scroll.

Upon hearing that it was information about Obito, Minato immediately became serious and began to carefully examine the scroll.

"dawn...."

The scroll contained information about the Akatsuki members, while Shinichi's handwritten note outlined their upcoming plans.

At the same time, Shinichi also made the risks of this trip clear, and the risk warnings in the letter made Minato frown.

He knew that Jiraiya and Orochimaru were also traveling with Shinichi and the others; these were people who had not been part of the original group.

Even with a team like this, are there still huge risks?

Minato pondered for a moment, then put away the letter and said, "Kushina, I'm going to Mount Myōboku to make some arrangements."

"Come back later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze vanished instantly.

Did Shinichi Hyuga send a message back to the village merely to deliver intelligence?!

No, his main purpose was to seek help.

Minato and Kushina both signed summoning contracts with the toads of Mount Myōboku, a practice inherited from Jiraiya.

With early preparation, if any unexpected event occurs in the Land of Rain, strong support can be obtained through reverse spirit communication.

Now that we've decided to enter the Land of Rain, we must be prepared for a major battle.

Shinichi Hyuga didn't want Might Guy to gamble with his life, much less his own!

...

The rain was torrential, and the sky was dark.

Since entering the Land of Rain, the day has never cleared up.

On the turbulent sea, a group of people wearing black raincoats stood on the horizon, gazing at the towering buildings of the town in the distance.

"Should we just infiltrate?"

From beneath the hood of his raincoat, Orochimaru's hoarse yet magnetic voice rang out, seemingly seeking his opinion.

"Let's go, let's go straight into the city."

"Let's find someone alive to get a basic understanding first."

Jiraiya gently lifted his hood, his voice low and somber. As he spoke, Shinichi Hyuga, standing nearby, reached out and felt the raindrops, a silent sigh escaping his lips.

"really..."

"It's already been discovered..."

Chapter 146 The Path of the Beast! (Please Subscribe)

After nearly a week of travel, Shinichi Hyuga and his group have now entered the waters of the Land of Rain.

This is a small country caught in a narrow gap. Not far away, in a city filled with high-rise buildings, lies the heart of the Rain Country.

The Land of Rain is perpetually rainy, and both Jiraiya and Orochimaru had visited it before, so they weren't surprised by the overcast weather. However, the towering buildings and seemingly bustling city in the distance did surprise them.

Compared to the Rain Country of yesteryear, the Rain Country of today has clearly made tremendous progress. Originally, the Rain Country consisted mostly of single-story houses, and due to years of war, the buildings in the cities were often dilapidated, with dangerous buildings everywhere you looked.

The large number of deaths in the war also led to a sharp decline in the domestic economy, leaving cities lifeless and desolate.

However, more than a decade has passed, and the Land of Rain today is completely different from the devastated country that Jiraiya and Orochimaru saw back then.

Even before entering the city, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, with their sensory abilities, could still sense the vibrant life emanating from within.

"The changes in the Land of Rain are truly remarkable."

"Hanzo the Salamander has governed this country exceptionally well!"

Jiraiya's impression of the Land of Rain was still based on the reign of Hanzo the Salamander. Gazing at the distant city, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh.

Orochimaru, his body shrouded in a raincoat, raised his head slightly upon hearing Jiraiya's words, his gaze towards the distant city now filled with a hint of wariness.

The snake's sixth sense told him that something unusual was happening in this city... that it was dangerous.

Shisui, Kakashi, and the others were visiting the Land of Rain for the first time, and they were all somewhat surprised and shocked to see the city's cluster of buildings that were far taller than those in Konoha.

They had been to many places in the ninja world and had seen many countries or regions with different cultures and customs, but this was the first time they had come to such a "developed" place as the Land of Rain. For a moment, they could hardly believe that such a small country, sandwiched between large countries, could develop so well.

However, upon hearing Hanzo of the Salamander's name from Jiraiya's mouth, a sense of relief appeared on the faces of the group.

Hanzo the Salamander, a demigod... This is a powerful ninja whose fame far surpasses that of the Legendary Sannin.

Even the Konoha ninjas were very familiar with this name.

While Jiraiya and the others were talking, Shinichi Hyuga remained silent. Instead, he reached out and silently sensed the rain that enveloped the entire Land of Rain, carefully feeling the chakra contained within it. Then, he used his sensory ninjutsu to search for Nagato's figure in the city.

The Byakugan's range is limited, and there was no sign of Nagato within its field of vision.

Now that he had decided to infiltrate the Land of Rain with Jiraiya and the others, Shinichi Hyuga would naturally do his utmost to search for Nagato's whereabouts, hoping to resolve the matter once and for all.

If Shinichi could sever Obito's left and right arms, even if it meant exposing his full strength, it wouldn't be an unacceptable thing for him.

There's nothing you can't do if the gains outweigh the costs.

As for whether killing Nagato here will hinder Naruto's future growth due to the lack of a worthy opponent...

This is not the most pressing issue for Shinichi at the moment.

He believed that Naruto could become a strong person even without Nagato as a "stepping stone"...

Or rather, Shinichi believed that Ashura's reincarnation was definitely not some "ordinary" person.

Just as Shinichi was carefully sensing and searching for Nagato's whereabouts, the perceptive Orochimaru noticed Shinichi's unusual behavior, silently approached him, and suddenly asked:

"Hey kid, what are you doing?"

Although Orochimaru addressed Shinichi as "kid," he already considered Shinichi Hyuga to be a powerful ninja who could rival him.

Orochimaru has an extremely accurate eye for talent, and he is also very clear about the power of his forbidden technique, Impure World Reincarnation.

The fact that Shinichi Hyuga was able to withstand the combined attacks of the First and Second Hokage for so long proves his strength.

At the same time, even though Shinichi Hyuga, who possesses the Byakugan, has relatively little experience in investigations, he is definitely able to notice things that others cannot.

At this point, Orochimaru had already guessed what Shinichi was doing.

"Hmm... there's something wrong with this rain; the rainwater is mixed with someone's chakra."

Orochimaru was willing to play the straight man, and Shinichi conveniently revealed the information he knew.

As for why Shinichi would know such a thing... well, people don't roll their eyes to brag, so why wouldn't he know?!

Upon hearing Shinichi's words, Jiraiya, Orochi, and the others all changed color. Shisui and Kakashi also quickly activated their Sharingan to carefully observe Shinichi's words.

With a keen eye, the two easily discovered the wisps of chakra mixed in with the rainwater.

If it weren't for Shinichi's reminder, they wouldn't have thought to use their Sharingan to see what was going on with the rain!

"Really!"

"This rain shower is clearly some kind of sophisticated sensory ninjutsu!"

Kakashi let out a low gasp, shook his hand, and looked surprised.

Such a vast-scale weather ninjutsu... this is beyond Kakashi's understanding of ninjas.

"Shinichi...you mean...have we been detected by the enemy?"

Jiraiya had never encountered such a ninjutsu before, and asked somewhat uncertainly.
