Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

"Moreover, I will arrange for guards. With the protection of our Hyuga elites, I will definitely return safely."

"And it won't last long. Whether it's us, Kirigakure, or other ninja villages, it's already very difficult to continue the war."

Hearing Hiashi's words, a look of guilt flashed across Shinichi's eyes. He knew that it was probably because he had changed the future of the Fourth Generation couple that some things had gone astray and changed.

As for what Hiashi said to him at that moment, Shinichi couldn't help but feel that his cheap father was setting a flag for himself...

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

Chapter 72 The Wind Rises!

"Father, is there no way to change the fact that you personally went to the battlefield?"

"Are there any other solutions?"

"Should we talk to the Fourth Hokage first? Maybe there will be a turning point."

After pondering for a long time, Shinichi Hyuga finally spoke up to advise him, saying that he was not Hiashi Hyuga, and even as the head of the main family, he did not know as much about the specific situation of the Hyuga family as Hiashi and Hizashi.

I really can't think of a good solution to this problem right now; all I can do is try to dissuade Riji.

There was no way around it; in Shinichi's eyes, Hijikata at that moment was like an old general covered in flags, as if he would die the instant he left home...

"discuss?"

"It won't be of any use."

"Although the Fourth Hokage was the Hokage, his foundation in Konoha was the Third Hokage."

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki situation has already put him under a lot of pressure, so he can't help us with this."

"Taking this opportunity, Shinichi, there's a lesson I need to catch up on for you!"

Do you know why Orochimaru is so confident in threatening the Hyuga clan?

Hiashi Hyuga slowly crouched down in front of Shinichi. The dim light shone down from behind him, casting his shadow on Shinichi and enveloping him.

Shinichi did not answer immediately, his brows furrowing slightly.

"In terms of status, he is just an orphan who lost his parents at a young age. In terms of status, he can never compare with our Hyuga."

"He was able to do this because of his strength."

"At this stage, Konoha can't do without him!"

"That's the source of his confidence when he said those things!"

"Now that Orochimaru and the advisory group have joined forces, not only are we Hyuga people threatened, but even the Third and Fourth Hokage are under threat."

"Of course, it would be difficult for Orochimaru and Danzo to defeat the two Hokage, but conversely, it would be equally difficult for the Hokage to defeat the other."

Ultimately, it all comes down to strength!

"If our Hyuga clan now possesses combat strength comparable to Orochimaru, we can naturally remain unthreatened by having the clan as our backer."

"So...Shinichi, you are the future of the Hyuga clan!"

"Never let me down!"

Hiashi Hyuga poured his heart and soul into his son, Shinichi Hyuga, placing all his hopes on him. He was even willing to show weakness to outsiders for this.

Looking at the leaders of Konoha's ninja clans, those with the magnanimity of Hiashi Hyuga are ultimately a minority among the minority.

In order to bridge the gap between the main family and the branch family, Hiashi was someone who would kneel before the junior Neji.

Whether you call him an actor or a coward, the fact that the Hyuga clan wasn't wiped out like the Uchiha clan, and that they were able to survive, is all thanks to Hiashi.

Even in Boruto's era, it's hard to say that the Uchiha clan members are still considered a single family. Only the Hyuga clan remains standing in Konoha. Even Naruto, one of the strongest ninjas at the time, is subject to the Hyuga's "commands." If Hiashi tells him to go home for dinner, he has to go home for dinner.

The magnanimity to kneel before a junior... If the Uchiha clan could have learned even a fraction of that, they wouldn't have been wiped out.

Shinichi Hyuga could sense the resolute determination in Hiashi's words. It was true that he was forced to accept the challenge, but at the same time, Hiashi also wanted to use this opportunity to make a name for himself in the Hyuga clan.

It would be even better if demonstrating the family's strength could make Orochimaru and the advisory group wary of them.

Now that things have come to this, even Shinichi couldn't say much, since Hiashi was an elder and the head of the Hyuga clan.

"I understand. During the time Father is away, I will train hard and protect the Hyuga clan for you."

Zhenyi's face was serious as he solemnly said.

Looking at his sensible son, Hiashi smiled and nodded.

...

As the Hyuga clan had predicted, Minato Namikaze did not refuse Hiashi's idea of ​​going to the front lines to oversee the troops.

Minato interpreted Hinata's action as a signal that she was actively moving closer to him.

Although the intensity of the fighting on the front lines is not high at present, every aspect of the battle requires strong leadership and young, capable leaders.

Orochimaru held a very high level of prestige in Konoha, comparable even to Minato. Even though Minato was not interested in power struggles, he still felt the threat from Orochimaru and Danzo.

The Hyuga clan's move towards him is definitely good news, as he also needs a way to restrain Orochimaru's power.

Hiashi Hyuga, from the Hyuga main branch of the powerful Konoha clan, carries enough weight in terms of status, even disregarding his strength.

Although the two sides had different needs, their goals were the same, and the relevant appointments were issued quickly.

Orochimaru's side naturally received the news, but unusually, Danzo, who was allied with Orochimaru, did not rush to voice any opposition. Compared to this matter, Danzo and his group were more focused on the power struggle among the Jinchuriki.

The Hyuga clan acted swiftly. Once the matter was settled, Hyuga, as the clan head, convened a general meeting of all the branch families.

During his absence, the clan elder, Hyuga Shin, will lead the entire clan. Although Hyuga Shin is too old to go to the battlefield, he is still capable of handling clan affairs.

At the same time, Hyuga Hiashi also quickly selected a guard team.

Fifty elite members of the branch family will form a guard squad and go to the front lines with him.

Hyuga Hizashi was not in the guard team; he was left with the clan by Hiashi.

While arranging his own guard team, Hiashi also left some close and trusted people to Shinichi.

As if making arrangements for his aftermath, even if something were to happen to him on the battlefield, the Hyuga clan, with Shinichi and Shinichi Hyuga by their side, would still be able to ensure a smooth transition for the family.

Hyuga Shinichi was not a slow-witted person, and he was naturally able to discern the underlying meaning behind Hiashi's various arrangements.

In the ninja world, every parting could be the last. The day before Hiashi Hyuga set off, Shinichi didn't go out, but spent the whole day with Hiashi in the dojo.

The father and son practiced and chatted. Hiashi didn't ask Shinichi anything about his training that day. Instead, he talked about everyday things, asking questions like, "Do you get along well with your friends?" He didn't teach Shinichi any secret techniques or ninjutsu, but rather principles of conduct and interpersonal relationships.

These lessons were not really necessary, but he listened quietly to the daily chatter, and the father and son tacitly enjoyed this short time together.

...

Early morning, at the entrance of Konoha Village.

"Shinichi, you will always be my pride."

Before leaving, Hiashi seemed to sense the risks of going to the battlefield. In front of everyone, the usually stern and serious Hiashi unusually hugged his son and said these words.

Then, amidst Hinata's envious gaze, Hiashi led his elite troops away from Konoha and disappeared at the end of the road.

"The wind is picking up..."

A strong wind rose, and the clouds in the sky thickened. Listening to the rustling of leaves in the forest, Shinichi Hyuga looked in the direction Hiashi had left and murmured softly.

...

News of the Hyuga main family's departure for the front lines spread quickly.

The villages of Kirigakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and even Sunagakure, having received the news, all began to stir with excitement.

The Byakugan, one of the oldest bloodline limits in the ninja world... is a highly sought-after treasure.

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

Chapter 73 The Intruders!

After seeing off Hiashi Hyuga and the others, Shinichi clearly sensed an impending storm.

It was a discussion of both the weather and the current situation. However, Shinichi was ultimately too optimistic. He thought that the departure of Hiashi and the elite troops would not have a significant impact on the clan in the short term.

However, to Shinichi's surprise, the Hyuga family became unsettled on the very night Hiashi left.

As night deepened, a light drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky.

Raindrops fell on the bluestone slabs and pattered on the roof tiles, making a clear, tinkling sound. Shinichi Hyuga finished his evening training, turned off the lights, and walked out of the dojo.

Standing under the eaves, I looked up slightly at the drizzling rain and couldn't help but drift into a reverie.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the surface of the puddle in the open space in front of the dojo trembled. Under Shinichi Hyuga's gaze, the water flowing around the puddle began to gather rapidly, and in just a moment, a figure faintly materialized.

The person who arrived was shrouded in a black raincoat. He was tall and slender, and when he looked up, the headband he was wearing reflected a glimmer of light under the corridor lights.

"Mist ninja?"

Shinichi Hyuga recognized the other's headband at a glance. As his heart sank slightly, his right hand formed a hand seal in front of his chest, and his Byakugan activated.

"They actually managed to sneak into a place like this."

"The village's barrier team is far too lax."
