Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

Konoha Village maintains very strict control over its ninjas. Unless they are on a mission, any Konoha ninja who leaves the village without permission is likely to be considered a rogue ninja.

Of course, rules are mostly used to restrain ordinary ninjas. Even in Konoha, there is a special class that is not bound by these rules. Even if they haven't returned to the village for many years, the higher-ups will not question their stance.

The Three Legendary Sannin belong to this special class, and the head of the Hyuga clan... also belongs to this special class.

As the head of the main family, Shinichi's activities were already restricted. Only after becoming the clan leader did he have the opportunity to travel outside Konoha Village year-round in order to "handle clan affairs".

Shinichi Hyuga knew that the ninja world was very large. While training hard, Shinichi also wanted to travel around the ninja world and find some ancient sites left over from the time of the Sage of Six Paths.

Even before the "Gundam" era has arrived, Shinichi Hyuga is already trying to find clues about the "tattoo" era, wanting to take control of some people and things in advance.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique... it really is a convenient ninjutsu."

"I will inform my subordinates about this matter, and I will have them compile all information about the exchange bureau and send it to you."

"You're in full charge of this matter, Shinichi. Perform well and make the people below respect the abilities of the Hyuga main family!"

Shinichi Hyuga gently patted Shinichi's shoulder and gave him some words of advice with a smile.

The younger generation has grown up and is able to share the burdens of the older generation, which is what Hyuga Shinichi most desires to see. He only hopes that Hyuga Shinichi can resolve this matter cleanly and efficiently, firmly imprinting the prestige of the Hyuga main family in the hearts of the members of the branch Kohyuga clan.

...

After returning to the village, Shinichi Hyuga didn't even have time to enjoy the warm moments of living with his family. When Hinata came home from school and excitedly wanted to see her long-lost brother, she was stopped by Shinichi Hyuga outside the study.

Shinichi sent all the files related to the exchange shops under the Hyuga Group to Shinichi, including but not limited to detailed location coordinates, quarterly billing reports, staffing of each exchange shop, and the losses of the attacked exchange shops.

At the same time, Shinichi Hyuga also sent over the personal information of the "heads" of various exchange shops. Meanwhile, Shinichi Hyuga also used the ninja hawks kept by the Hyuga family to send information to exchange shops all over the country, informing them that Shinichi Hyuga would become their direct leader.

Shinichi thought this incident could be considered a learning experience, but in fact, regardless of whether Shinichi was capable of handling it well, Shinichi intended to let Shinichi take the lead in this matter.

Running an underground force is no easy task, and managing a money exchange is also a great training ground. Shinichi Hyuga is already working on developing Shinichi Hyuga's management skills. Even this money exchange, which is extremely important to the Hyuga family, is just a special "training ground".

"what the hell..."

"Even when I come back, I won't see you. My brother is such a big idiot!"

Hinata, who was refused entry, couldn't help but grumble at the study. Inside the study, Shinichi saw the scene outside through his Byakugan. Seeing Hinata leave angrily, Shinichi couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

He is a reserved person, and even if he had a lot of time to spend with Hinata, the two siblings probably wouldn't find much to talk about.

For Shinichi, being able to watch Hinata grow up healthy was enough.

Once this busy period is over, I'll have plenty of time to spend with my sisters in the future.

Slowly lowering his head, Shinichi Hyuga buried himself in the files again. He didn't spend much time looking at the operation of the exchange shop for the time being; his focus was on the exchange shop's staffing and combat strength.

Besides the official "manager," the Hyuga family's gold exchange also has two "helpers" who handle miscellaneous tasks. These three people are barely considered to be the personnel who maintain the normal operation of the gold exchange.

In addition to the three people who actually do the work, each gold exchange has four ninjas guarding it. These ninjas are recruited from outside and are not affiliated with Konoha Village.

In the Land of Fire, it's not just places like the Hidden Villages and the Fire Temple that possess "extraordinary power." Even among ordinary people, there are many "ninjas" who have mastered the use of chakra and learned ninjutsu through various means.

If we consider Konoha and the Fire Temple as "sects," then those people can be understood as "freelance practitioners."

The gold exchange is ultimately the private property of a clan, so how could Konoha ninjas possibly become its guards?

Although the ninjas recruited by the Gold Exchange were not from Konoha's "reputable sects," these ninjas who made a living in the martial arts world each had their own methods and were quite strong.

According to the information in the case file, the four guard ninjas of the Gold Exchange are probably all at the Chunin level. If they combine their special ninjutsu effects, they can even fight against an ordinary Jonin.

However, even with this level of combat strength, they were all wiped out in just one encounter with the enemy, demonstrating the enemy's formidable power.

The enemy's eyewitness report came from the manager of the attacked gold exchange. After killing the guarding ninja and taking the money, the attackers didn't wipe them out completely. It was like a farmer harvesting leeks—cutting one crop, leaving another to grow back before harvesting the next...

"The headband of Takigakure, the attire of Akatsuki, and the powerful taijutsu used to instantly kill the guarding ninja."

"Based on the intelligence, it should be Kakuzu."

"I never imagined that our Hyuga clan would run a gold exchange, and that this exchange would have such a connection with Akatsuki..."

Slowly putting away the scroll in front of him, Shinichi Hyuga rubbed his temples, digesting the massive amount of information while analyzing it in his mind.

He already knew the locations of more than a dozen gold exchange shops within the country, and he could also roughly deduce the enemy's movement patterns from the gold exchange shops that had been attacked.

The other party's route was heading towards the border of the Land of Rain. It seemed that after harvesting a batch of chives, they were about to hand them over to their "superiors".

Judging from the opponent's route and trajectory, and considering their speed, they have probably already crossed the border into the Land of Rain. My plan is unlikely to be effective in the short term.

Hyuga Shin has already sent people to deliver Shinichi's Flying Thunder God Kunai to various gold exchange shops. Before the people delivering the kunai even arrived, Kakuzu should have already left.

It's unknown when the other party will appear in the Land of Fire again.

Having already guessed the other party's identity, Shinichi Hyuga was no longer in a hurry. He knew that the other party would show up again, and Kakuzu was a "money-grubber" who was extremely confident in his own strength. The bait he had set should be able to attract the other party.

Even if the other party realizes that it might be bait, Kakuzu's arrogance would probably still lead him to take the bait.

After all, he was a man who had "fought" with the First Hokage. How could such an arrogant person possibly take a small gold exchange shop seriously?

Moreover, the exchange shops, being an "underground force," have always been a prime target for double-crossing. Kakuzu only fears the top ninjas of the five great ninja villages; the guards in the exchange shops are nothing but rotten fish, whom he wouldn't even consider a threat.

Shinichi had some understanding of Kakuzu's personality. As long as the real person's personality wasn't too different from his impression, his plan should be effective.

Before the exchange issues a warning, all Zhenyi needs to do is wait quietly for the fish to take the bait!

However, even Shinichi himself did not expect that he would wait for more than two months.

Life was peaceful after returning to the village. While learning how to run the gold exchange, Shinichi Hyuga also took time to accompany Neji and Hinata in their physical training.

During his absence, Neji improved rapidly under Hizashi's training. He not only mastered Gentle Fist but also learned ninjutsu rarely seen in other members of the Hyuga clan. Influenced by Shinichi, Neji was no longer a rigid Byakugan user; his broadened horizons led him to recognize the crucial role of ninjutsu in combat.

Neji's chakra nature is predominantly water, earth, and fire. To compensate for some of the weaknesses of Gentle Fist, he focused on learning defensive water and earth ninjutsu, while also learning some mid- to long-range fire ninjutsu.

Although Shinichi couldn't demonstrate his ninjutsu skills in this battle, he could still glean a lot of information from Neji's demonstration.

My younger brother is very strong and outstanding.

As for Hinata, she also trained very diligently, and it's unclear whether her development path has gone astray. Although she hasn't mastered the essence of Gentle Fist, the terrifying power of her punches secretly alarmed Shinichi.

Hinata is essentially going down the path of using sheer force, relying on brute strength to overcome any technique. It's unclear who taught her this, but Shinichi could even see with his Byakugan that Hinata was deliberately channeling chakra into her fists during attacks—a technique very similar to superhuman strength...

Hinata's terrifying strength in battle at such a young age forced Shinichi to change his training location. The dojo at home couldn't withstand Hinata's antics, so they had to move to the yard, which was a hardship for the "dry landscape garden" placed there.

Before long, the siblings moved their training ground to the village's training ground, where Hinata could finally unleash her full potential. Meanwhile, Neji began incorporating ninjutsu into his battles, and under Shinichi's guidance, he became increasingly adept at combining taijutsu and ninjutsu.

That evening, just as Shinichi was cultivating with his younger siblings, a clear and loud eagle cry from the sky interrupted their practice.

In the training ground, Shinichi Hyuga casually sliced ​​apart the incoming Fireball Jutsu with a chop to the side, then gestured for Neji, who was not far away, to pause.

Shinichi looked up at the ninja hawk circling in the sky and raised his arm. At the same time, the ninja hawk swooped down and landed steadily on Shinichi's arm.

Shinichi pulled the letter from under the ninja hawk's feet, casually released the hawk, and after quickly glancing at the contents of the letter, hurriedly said, "Let's finish early today. I have other things to do. You guys go home first."

After saying that, Shinichi disappeared from the spot using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The ninja hawk that delivered the message to Shinichi flew out from the Hyuga clan's gold exchange. After nearly two months of silence, the web that Shinichi Hyuga had laid out was finally touched.

The attacked exchange shop was located deep within the Land of Fire, only a hundred miles from Konoha. Upon receiving the message, Shinichi Hyuga quickly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to his study, sensing his Flying Thunder God mark while simultaneously pinpointing the location of the attacked exchange shop on the map.

After quickly putting the map on the table into his pocket, Shinichi Hyuga casually wrote a note and placed it in the study before using the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the village.

Very few people are allowed to enter or leave this study. Apart from Shinichi Hyuga, the only people who might have seen the note left by Shinichi are Hiashi and Shinichi.

The person Shinichi was sending the message to was none other than the clan elder, Hyuga Shin.

After he left the village, he needed Shin Hyuga to help him complete the formalities, and at the same time, he needed to use a note to inform Shin of his whereabouts so that his family would not worry.

When Shinichi Hyuga appeared out of the void, he had already traveled more than ten miles from the village and arrived at a post station under the Hyuga clan.

In order to capture the ninja who attacked the exchange shop, the Hyuga clan distributed kunai with the Flying Thunder God mark to all its businesses. The Hyuga clan's businesses were spread throughout the Land of Fire, with countless strongholds. They had arranged these Flying Thunder God kunai in advance so that if any accident occurred, Shinichi Hyuga would be able to sense it immediately.

Even though the incident occurred far from Konoha, Shinichi was still able to arrive in a short time after several transfers.

Shinichi Hyuga's figure had barely appeared in the post station when he disappeared again.

After using Flying Thunder God Technique several times in succession, Shinichi Hyuga finally arrived at his destination.

This is a dimly lit bar, but the air is not filled with the aroma of alcohol; instead, it is filled with the smell of alcohol and preservatives.

Shinichi Hyuga appeared behind the bar counter. Behind him was a messy liquor cabinet. Instead of drinks, several mission cards were hanging diagonally on the cabinet, while the rest were scattered on the floor.

There was a hidden door on the side of the bar. It was now ajar, letting in light and a strong smell of blood. Shinichi Hyuga quickly surveyed his surroundings, stepped out from behind the bar, and peered into the hidden door.

The hidden door led to a morgue. Several corpses lay sprawled on the cold floor, blood flowing from their wounds and pooling everywhere. The cabinet doors on either side were tightly shut, while on the wall directly opposite the hidden door was a safe that had been blasted open by some kind of ninjutsu. Apart from a few scattered pieces of banknotes, the safe was empty.

Glancing at the corpses on the ground, Shinichi noticed that none of the dead ninjas had many wounds. It seemed that the disparity between them and the enemy was too great, so they were killed without being able to put up any effective resistance.

The fatal wounds on his body were all to his throat and heart, a complete crushing defeat.

Just then, a faint footstep sounded from outside the hidden door. Sensing the movement, Shinichi Hyuga turned around, and at the same time, three dark figures suddenly darted out of the hidden door, simultaneously shooting kunai at Shinichi Hyuga. At the same time, the group also quickly surrounded Shinichi Hyuga with their swords.

In the confined space, facing the opponent's kunai attack, Hyuga Shinichi had no way to avoid it. Having some guesses about the newcomer's identity, Hyuga Shinichi didn't go for the kill, merely raising his right palm and letting out a soft shout:

"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"

High-density chakra surged forth, directly knocking down all the incoming kunai. At the same time, terrifying wind pressure also assaulted the three attackers, forcing them back to the hidden door.

Just as the group landed quickly, adjusted their stance, and were preparing to continue their attack, they were stopped by the three ninjas.

"stop it now!"

As the three ninjas were being stopped, a middle-aged man wearing glasses appeared at the hidden doorway, staring in astonishment at Shinichi Hyuga, who had inexplicably appeared in the morgue.
