Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

Before the Third Hokage could finish speaking, Minato Namikaze suddenly broke into a hearty smile and interrupted:

"The Uchiha clan is part of the Konoha family and will not do anything detrimental to Konoha."

"Isn't it easy to verify whether the Uchiha clan knew about this?"

"I'll go see Chief Fugaku tonight!"

Minato handles things differently than the Third Hokage; he doesn't like to hide things and prefers to be straightforward.

With his strength and reputation as a foundation, he is confident that he can resolve the vast majority of issues through negotiation.

However, unlike Minato, who rose to the position of Hokage through strength and military achievements, the Third Hokage was appointed Hokage by the Second Hokage. At the time he took office, the village was in a precarious state, and the village could have been destroyed if he had not been careful.

Therefore, the three generations were accustomed to seeking "stability" and being cautious in handling matters.

"you..."

"this..."

Upon hearing that Minato intended to speak directly with Fugaku, even the Third Hokage was speechless for a moment, but soon shook his head and chuckled.

He sometimes really can't match the courage and drive of a young person.

"Is everything alright with Kushina?"

Compared to Obito Uchiha, who was just a "lowly Chunin," Hiruzen was clearly more concerned about the situation of the Jinchuriki.

"Yes, the due date is next month."

"The fetus is in a stable condition, so there's no need to worry for now."

"And I will go back immediately after I finish talking with Fugaku."

Minato was quite at ease about Kushina's situation. After all, there were so many Anbu guards and a medical ninja of Biwako's caliber present. Even if Kushina went into premature labor, the Anbu would notify him immediately, and with his Flying Thunder God technique, he could quickly return.

Do you need me to come with you?

Facing a powerful clan like the Uchiha, Hiruzen was on high alert.

Speaking of which... because the Uchiha clan has served as the Konoha police force for many years, their relationship with the ordinary people in the village has become increasingly tense.

The proud Uchiha clan is slowly being isolated by the villagers, which is not a good thing.

"Well, thank you for your help."

Minato did not refuse, and nodded with a smile.

Sometimes, his excessive humility made the Third Generation uneasy about handing over all power to Minato.

................

Chapter 31 Mangekyō Sharingan!

Man proposes, God disposes. Perhaps even Shinichi Hyuga himself did not expect that revealing Obito's identity would not make Konoha pay enough attention to that man.

Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi were not omniscient or omnipotent gods after all; how could they possibly know just how much trouble Obito Uchiha was capable of causing?!

Shinichi Hyuga might have viewed Obito as a super boss, but in the minds of Minato and Hiruzen, wasn't Obito just an ordinary Chunin?

Minato met Obito in person, and perhaps he thought highly of Obito's space-time ninjutsu, but that was about it.

As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, he didn't take Obito Uchiha seriously at all.

Compared to Obito Uchiha himself, he was more concerned about the Uchiha clan!

...

That night, Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi visited the Uchiha clan's territory.

Before the Nine-Tails' attack, the Uchiha clan, one of the founding clans of Konoha, was located in the central area of ​​Konoha. Their clan's territory was backed by Konoha's No. 1 Training Ground, which was actually the Uchiha's private training ground. Outsiders who set foot in would be driven away by the Uchiha clan.

Although this had caused dissatisfaction among some people, it was also tacitly approved by the Hokage and other ninja clans.

The arrival of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze was indeed somewhat unexpected.

The Fugaku family welcomed the two Hokage into their clan's territory without any prior preparation.

Fugaku's wife had recently given birth to their second child, and with Hiruzen Sarutobi's approval, Fugaku named his second son Sasuke.

This name was taken from Hiruzen Sarutobi's father. In ninja culture, it expresses Fugaku's respect for Hiruzen's father, and also his hope that his son Sasuke can become an excellent ninja like Hiruzen's father.

This was Fugaku Uchiha actively extending a gesture of closeness to the Third Hokage, not the kind of "my son is your father" mentality that some abstract enthusiasts claim.

With this connection in place, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze's sudden visit was not considered impolite.

As ninja clans with a history spanning thousands of years, the Uchiha clan's clan system is not as strict as the Hyuga clan's. This also means that the Uchiha clan does not exhibit the same rigid hierarchy in their interactions with others as the Hyuga clan.

After Fugaku led Hiruzen and Minato into the living room, Mikoto served the guests tea and some snacks before getting up to leave.

As for Fugaku Uchiha's son, Itachi Uchiha, after meeting the two Hokage while holding the newborn Sasuke, he left without accompanying them.

In the spacious living room, only three adults remained to discuss matters.

Fugaku was unaware of the two Hokage's purpose in coming, so after taking his seat, he simply invited them to have tea without saying anything more.

The three generations were mostly there to accompany the group, silently drinking tea without saying a word.

Minato, after politely taking a few sips of tea, went straight to the point:

"Clan Chief Fugaku, the Third Hokage and I have come to inquire about Obito Uchiha."

"Do you know that Obito Uchiha is still alive?"

A name that had long since disappeared from Fugaku's memory was brought up again.

"Obito Uchiha?"

"Still alive?"

"Fourth Hokage, what do you mean by this?"

Fugaku was also familiar with the name Obito. Back then, it was Fugaku who made the decision to allow Kakashi to have the Sharingan.

After all, it was during the Third Shinobi World War, and Konoha had already suffered heavy losses. Even the Uchiha, who were guarding Konoha as a security force, faced a severe test. In order for the village to unite against external forces, Fugaku also showed the courage of a clan leader and overruled the objections of others.

Upon hearing Minato mention Obito's name, Fugaku's expression darkened slightly.

Is this just an excuse to make a fuss? Or something else entirely?

Minato seemed oblivious to the change in Fugaku's expression and began to recount in detail how he had detected Obito Uchiha's presence and set a trap. However, this version differed from the one he had given to the Third Hokage; he deliberately omitted the existence of Shinichi Hyuga.

However, Fugaku obviously wouldn't care about these trivial details. What he was concerned about was that Obito Uchiha, who had been dead for many years, had returned to Konoha.

His thoughts were the same as the Third Hokage's. He was clearly alive but deliberately concealed the news, and he appeared in front of Minato in that kind of attire. Without a doubt, the other party was up to no good.

If Obito Uchiha were merely representing himself, that would be one thing, but Fugaku knew that such a thing was simply impossible.

The Uchiha clan has always been viewed differently in Konoha. If another rogue ninja were to emerge from the clan, wouldn't that give others ammunition to use against them?

Similar things have happened before!

"Sandaime, Yondaime."

"I truly knew nothing about Obito Uchiha."

"I urge the Third and Fourth Hokage to entrust this matter to our Uchiha clan for a personal investigation!"

"I will arrange for the Uchiha's elite forces to search for Obito Uchiha's whereabouts with all their might!"

"No matter what their motives are, we will absolutely not allow them to harm Konoha!"

The best way to deal with the Sharingan is the Sharingan itself.

When Fugaku heard from Minato that Obito had mastered some kind of advanced space-time ninjutsu, as the head of the Uchiha clan, he already vaguely sensed that the other party might have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

After all, space-time ninjutsu isn't some ordinary ninjutsu that you can learn at will. If Obito truly had the talent to learn space-time ninjutsu, he might have already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique during his years with Minato.

So what could possibly enable a loser to suddenly master that level of ninjutsu?

Isn't the answer already obvious?

Moreover, judging from Obito's words and actions, Fugaku was even able to conclude that the other party had extremely strong emotions and bonds in his heart.

Such people are more likely to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Unlike Minato and Hiruzen, Fugaku at this time had a deep understanding of the potential threat posed by that man's existence.

However, he did not inform the Fourth and Third Generations of this information.

After all, he didn't want the two Hokage to know too much. The more they knew, the more wary they would be of the Uchiha clan, which was not what he wanted to see.

Fugaku wanted to deal with the matter quietly before Obito Uchiha caused any major trouble.

He was absolutely confident about this!

Even if he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, so what? Was Obito the only member of the Uchiha clan with the Mangekyou Sharingan?!

Fugaku's sincere attitude earned him the trust of the third and fourth generations.

After a brief discussion, the group reached a consensus.

Afterwards, Hiruzen and Minato got up and left. Fugaku also warmly saw them off to the gate of the clan compound. Watching the two Hokage disappear into the dimly lit street, Fugaku's eyes swirled with tomoe, and then the tomoe connected, converging into a windmill-shaped pupil.

“Uchiha Obito..…”

"I will not let you affect the living environment of our Uchiha clan in the village!"
