Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

Shikamaru waved his hand to indicate that he was alright. Since becoming familiar with Naruto and Hinata, this wasn't the first time he had encountered a similar situation.

He only blamed himself for moving too quickly; if he had been just a little slower, it would have been Choji who ended up with his neck caught...

"Hinata, you really have a commanding presence. I really admire you."

At that moment, Choji glanced at the girls not far away who were speechless after being "threatened" by Hinata, and muttered to himself. If it were him, he wouldn't dare to "threaten" so many people back, let alone glare back at them.

This has nothing to do with identity; it's entirely due to personality.

Shikamaru nodded in agreement. In their little circle, Naruto, who was cheerful and kind, was just the nominal leader of the group, while Hinata was the real boss.

In the center of the playground, Naruto and Sasuke clashed again. Sasuke's fighting style was agile and varied, while Naruto's strength lay in his excellent reflexes and imaginative adaptability. For a time, the two fought fiercely and evenly, making for a very exciting battle.

Hinata, Choji, Shikamaru, and others were cheering for Naruto, while on the other side, the girls in the class overwhelmingly supported Sasuke, with both sides making quite a splash.

Iruka had thought the battle would last a long time, but after about ten minutes, Sasuke's attacks started to falter noticeably. It was clear that after fighting for so long, his stamina was starting to give out.

On the other hand, Naruto still appeared to be full of energy, and his attacks became even more ferocious after he noticed that his opponent's energy was waning.

After a powerful punch from the front, Sasuke, who had just received the blow, lost his balance and staggered. Naruto seized the opportunity and lunged forward, using his strength and stamina advantage to deliver a clean and decisive takedown, pinning Sasuke to the ground.

"stop!"

"The victory is decided!"

Iruka, who had been closely watching the battle, raised his hand and shouted the moment Sasuke was thrown to the ground.

Naruto won the duel, and Hinata and Choji cheered. On the other side, the girls, though somewhat disappointed that Sasuke had lost, quickly offered words of comfort.

"It's okay, Sasuke-kun, you're the best!"

Although he didn't win the battle, Sasuke gained a group of fans who admired his looks and received the "Best Award," which can be considered one of the highest honors in the fandom.

Sasuke and Naruto, after getting up, formed the reconciliation seal under Iruka's guidance. At this moment, Sasuke's attention was entirely focused on Naruto, who had defeated him, and he paid no attention to the girls who had "awarded" him the "best award".

"I will definitely surpass you!"

Sasuke acknowledged that Naruto was an opponent he had to surpass during his time at the Ninja Academy. The battle with Naruto also made Sasuke realize his own shortcomings. He secretly vowed in his heart that he must become stronger than Naruto. The Uchiha clan... must never tarnish its reputation in Naruto's hands.

Halfway through Iruka's lesson, he selected some children to participate in a mock battle to assess their abilities.

Among them are children from prestigious families like Hinata, and children from ordinary families like Sakura.

Iruka seemed intent on seeing just how different commoner ninjas were from ninja clans, and one of the matches he arranged was between Hinata and Sakura.

Both are girls with limited strength, and Iruka believes they wouldn't get hurt even in a fight. Furthermore, Hinata and Sakura come from completely different worlds in terms of their upbringing.

Sakura's parents are not ninjas. Sakura was selected for the Ninja Academy because her written test scores were excellent and she passed the physical fitness test.

Hinata is a representative of the ninja clan. Her father is the head of the Hyuga clan. Although her brother has not been well-known in recent years, Iruka has a deep impression of Shinichi Hyuga. According to the Third Hokage, Shinichi Hyuga is a user of the Flying Thunder God Technique and is the most outstanding genius of the younger generation.

Hinata and Sakura, whose names were called, were in completely different states. Hinata was used to fighting against others in the clan, and she looked calm and confident when she went on the field. Sakura, on the other hand, looked nervous when she went on the field because of her upbringing.

Hinata had originally intended to teach the little girl who was cheering Sasuke the loudest a lesson, but seeing the girl's timid and hesitant appearance, Hinata frowned and immediately turned to Iruka with little interest, saying:

"Teacher, could we have a different opponent?"

"I don't want to fight people who have no will to fight."

"Even if I win, I won't feel comfortable."

Hinata is somewhat straightforward. The doting of her mother and older brother at home has made Hinata confident and generous. Although she sometimes shows a strong possessiveness and domineering nature because of being pampered, her kind nature covers up these little flaws.

Just like now, when facing Sakura, Hinata genuinely doesn't want to bully the weak.

Just as Iruka's gaze swept towards Sakura, her best friend Ino, who was off the field, loudly cheered Sakura on.

Sakura herself is not the kind of person who lacks confidence. Although she seemed a little timid and hesitant because it was her first time fighting someone, after adjusting her mindset, a determined look appeared in Sakura's eyes.

"Teacher, I can do it!"

Sakura's words dissuaded Iruka from changing the player, and he nodded with a smile. Iruka also encouraged her:

"A ninja must have courage, Sakura, you did a great job."

"Just do your best, winning or losing doesn't matter."

Iruka gave a word of instruction, and then guided the two children to form the opposing hand seal.

Hinata frowned as she looked at Sakura forming hand seals, her tone somewhat arrogant: "Not everyone can be a match for the Hyuga clan."

"You...and all of you, remember this well!"

Hinata Hyuga's entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change when she performed hand seals. Even though Hanako had chosen a "cute" outfit for her, no one could sense the word "cute" from Hinata at that moment.

When Hinata spoke, she didn't look at her opponent at all. Instead, she looked at Ino, who was shouting on the sidelines, and the girls in her class.

Her words, even when spoken to Sakura, were also addressed to those children.

Hmm...this child...

Iruka glanced at Hinata with some surprise, as her personality and temperament differed greatly from the information the Third Hokage had given him beforehand.

"start!"

As he shouted for the battle to begin, Hinata Hyuga also got into position, and with a leap, she flew towards Sakura.

"Drink!"

Hinata's attack was wide and sweeping, without using any feints to conceal her intentions. She delivered a powerful palm strike directly to Sakura's chest as she approached her.

Hinata was holding back, and the speed she was showing wasn't very fast at the moment. Ironically, this holding back made Sakura mistakenly believe that she could withstand the attack from this girl who was the same age as her.

As Sakura crossed her arms in front of her to block Hinata's palm strike, in the next instant, Sakura was actually sent flying through the air. With just one blow, she was directly sent flying by Hinata, who was the same age as her.

"!!!"

Iruka was caught off guard, but as a Chunin, he reacted very quickly, leaping forward to catch Sakura as she flew backward. As he landed, his feet slid backward more than a meter on the sand before he finally stopped.

"This force...how could it be?"

Iruka glanced at Sakura, whose face was deathly pale, in his arms, and his own expression showed a look of astonishment.

The children watching from the sidelines were also stunned as they stared at Hinata slowly finishing her move, their astonishment and surprise evident on their faces.

Even Naruto, who was most familiar with Hinata, couldn't help but gasp, grab his hair, and widen his eyes.

Outsiders still know far too little about Hinata.

Shinichi's younger sister has always had a big appetite. Although her body doesn't grow as fast as other children, her strength grows very quickly. After all, food needs to be converted into muscle and strength instead of fat, which is understandable.

In a way, this is also a kind of talent.

In Shinichi Hyuga's view, the ninja world's Kanroji Temple was perfectly normal.

However, in the eyes of others, Hinata may not be as normal as her brother thinks.

"So...so strong..."

Among this year's freshmen, Sasuke only regarded Naruto as his rival, and completely disregarded the other children.

However, even a proud and arrogant child like Sasuke couldn't help but sigh at Hinata's strength when he saw her make a move.

Hinata....

Considering Hinata's background, Sasuke's surprise subsided slightly.

After all, they are a family with eye techniques that are on par with the Uchiha clan. It's not hard to understand why they have such strength and potential.

"This child is probably the strongest among the new students..."

Hinata Hyuga stopped her stance, glanced at Sakura who was being held in Iruka's arms, clutching her wrist and unable to get up for a long time, hesitated for a moment, and then said apologetically:

"Sorry, I didn't control my strength well."

After saying that, Hinata stopped looking at Sakura and didn't form the reconciliation seal. She turned and walked towards the direction where Naruto and the others were.

At that moment, Iruka didn't really care whether Hinata had formed the Seal of Reconciliation or not. Sakura's pained expression made Iruka's heart skip a beat, and he reached out to touch Sakura's wrist.

"With such force, could it be a fracture?"

Secretly worried, Iruka felt a pang of self-reproach. He hadn't expected the Hyuga clan's children to be so strong. Despite being a girl, they possessed immense power. He regretted... sending Sakura, a child with almost no ninja training, to be Hinata's opponent.

"what--"

"it hurts!"

Iruka had just touched Sakura's wrist when Sakura cried out in pain. Iruka froze, but upon closer inspection, he found that Sakura's bones were fine.

Even if they aren't medical ninjas, ninjas who spend years on the battlefield are usually quite accurate in judging such external injuries. Iruka, at the very least, is a mature Chunin, so he has no shortcomings in this area.

"It's okay, it's okay, no bones are broken."

"Sakura, you're going to be a ninja, be strong."

Sakura wasn't injured in the bone, which put Iruka at ease. In the ninja world, such a minor flesh wound is hardly considered damage, and she would recover in a few days.

Even though it was a child who was injured, Iruka had no intention of spoiling her. He gently put Sakura on the ground and let her get up on her own.

A ninja academy is a ninja academy, not a kindergarten or daycare. It's a place to train ninjas, and acting cute won't work here.

Sakura's tears had no effect, and Iruka was not reprimanded for Hinata hurting her. At this moment, Sakura realized to some extent that there was a big difference between this school and home.
