Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

"To prevent potential attacks, I will use a barrier spell to set up a safe house for you 'employees'. You can enter the safe house to take shelter in the event of an attack."

"Although the barrier I set up is not invincible, it should be enough to hold out until reinforcements arrive."

On the way back, Shinichi Hyuga also thought of a solution: setting up a defensive barrier, which was the only option available at the moment.

The Hyuga clan does have some barrier masters, but their skill level is nowhere near that of Shinichi Hyuga.

His barrier technique was inherited from the Uzumaki clan and was personally taught by Kushina. Moreover, Shinichi was exceptionally talented, and the power of the barrier he set up was definitely not something that ordinary ninjas could withstand.

Upon hearing that Shinichi would set up a safe house, Kohinata Tachi was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked him, bowing deeply.

Although he was working for the Hyuga family, Shinichi Hyuga's upright attitude in handling matters made Kohyuu Tachi look at him with higher regard.

This person... is completely different from the condescending and arrogant manner of the other members of the Hyuga clan.

Setting up a safe house is not as simple as casting a barrier spell. Before that, you need to select the location of the safe house and even place some survival supplies and communication equipment inside in advance.

These all require some time to build and construct.

Shinichi Hyuga did not linger at the gold exchange. After giving a few brief instructions, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the Hyuga family.

As it happened, he ran into Shinichi Hyuga, who was waiting for him in the study. Shinichi had come to the study to find Shinichi and saw the note Shinichi had left on the table. Instead of leaving, he stayed in the study to wait for Shinichi.

If Shinichi hasn't returned by mealtime, Shinichi Hinata will inform Hanako and the others that Shinichi isn't home.

Upon seeing Shinichi return, Shinichi Hyuga let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

To be honest, Shinichi was somewhat apprehensive when he went out to track down the ninja who attacked the exchange shop, especially when he knew that the attack on the exchange shop might be the work of an "organization".

Once Shinichi returned, he was finally able to relax.

"How about it?"

Shin asked about the gold exchange with concern. At the same time, he also carefully glanced at Shinichi's physical condition. Seeing that Shinichi had no injuries, Shin smiled.

"There were two ninjas who attacked the gold exchange. One was named Kakuzu, a rogue ninja from Takigakure, and the other was named Sasori, a rogue ninja from Sunagakure."

"These two people should belong to the same organization, as they wear the same uniform."

"This time, I successfully killed Sasori and let Kakuzu escape."

"However, I suspect that the exchange will not be attacked again in the short term."

"However, for safety reasons, I suggest building safe houses at each gold exchange and using barriers to protect the safety of personnel."

Shinichi Hyuga didn't reveal much information. Sometimes explaining the source of information is a troublesome matter. The information he mentioned is currently all publicly available.

Akatsuki isn't particularly noticeable right now, but if Shinichi reveals too much, he'll become quite conspicuous.

Shinichi Hyuga simply nodded to acknowledge the information he had gathered, without asking any further questions. Shinichi's safe house plan sounded quite good; if implemented smoothly, it could barely keep the exchange shop running.

"The idea of ​​a safe house is excellent; we should push it forward as soon as possible."

"As for the perpetrator of the attack on the gold exchange..."

"Shinichi, if the other party is an organization, they might retaliate, right?"

"There are only those who steal for a thousand days, but not those who guard against thieves for a thousand days. We must find a way to eliminate future troubles."

This is Shin's simple idea, which is the same as Shinichi's, but it's not easy to put into practice.

"I understand, and I will continue to follow up."

Shinichi nodded in agreement, and seeing this, Shinichi patted him on the shoulder with relief, encouraging him:

"There's no need to put too much pressure on yourself. Whether you do well or not, no one will say anything."

"Remember this, the Hyuga clan will always support your decision."

"Hanako went to the Ninja Academy to pick up Hinata from school."

"Speaking of which, your sister has become quite a celebrity at the Ninja Academy."

"Shinichi, I suggest you find some time to imprint Hinata with the Caged Bird Seal. This is for your own good and for the good of the Hyuga clan."

The matter of the caged bird was suddenly brought up again by Shinichi, and Shinichi Hyuga stared intently at his great-grandfather, not understanding why the other party had suddenly brought it up.

However, Shinichi's attitude was very clear:

"The decision regarding the caged bird... has already been made."

"Grandpa, don't worry about it."

Although he brushed off Hinata's attempt to appease him, Shinichi himself became curious about Hinata's recent situation. What had she done to make Hinata think this way?!

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

Chapter 133 The Boss's Brother! (Please Subscribe)

Shinichi Hyuga suspects that Shinichi Hyuga's sudden mention of branding Hinata with the Caged Bird Seal is not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

It seems that in recent years, while he has been away from the clan, Hinata must have performed exceptionally well at the Ninja Academy, which has led to some rumors circulating within the clan.

Shinichi wasn't worried at all that Hinata would shake his status. Although he had never been complacent about his current strength, Shinichi also wouldn't underestimate himself.

No matter how much Hinata grows, she can never grow as fast as him.

This idea was not unfounded speculation, but rather a result of Shinichi's relatively complete and clear understanding of his current strength after killing Sasori and repelling Kakuzu.

Although he didn't think Hinata could be stronger than him in the future, Shinichi's words made him curious about Hinata's current situation.

Over the years, he had been a terrible older brother, not caring enough about the growth of his two younger sisters. Although he wasn't a "brother complex" like Itachi Uchiha, ignoring his sisters' growth was not what a qualified older brother should do.

Shinichi's expectations for Hinata are somewhat different from those of Hiashi Hyuga. Hiashi doesn't have high expectations for his daughter; he only hopes that she can grow up healthy, find a boy she likes in the future, and then enter into a happy marriage.

However, Shinichi hoped that Hinata would not waste her time and the innate talent of the Hyuga clan, but work hard when she should and cultivate outstanding abilities. Regardless of whether she could be with Naruto in the future, Shinichi hoped that Hinata would have the power to protect herself.

Shinichi had already witnessed the cruelty of the ninja world firsthand. In such a world, relying on oneself is worse than relying on anyone else.

However, focusing solely on Hinata's growth in strength is clearly insufficient.

Shinichi can glean some clues from Hinata's attitude towards her. Hinata's life trajectory must have undergone a significant change with his arrival, a fact that can be seen in Hinata's personality when she was young.

I wonder how Hinata gets along with her classmates now, given her personality...

...

Hanako went out early to pick Hinata up, but she seemed to have forgotten that the ninja academy had actually let out long ago. The reason Hinata hadn't gone home after school was because Shinichi and Neji had called her to the training grounds in Konoha for training...

Shinichi left the training ground because of the gold exchange business. Before leaving, he told Hinata and Neji to go back early, but the two children didn't seem to listen to Shinichi at all. They stayed in the training ground to train after Shinichi left.

Hinata has always been a diligent and hardworking person. Even though her personality has undergone a huge change, her kind and hardworking nature has not changed.

If "that" Hinata was "forced to work hard" under the heavy pressure of the Hyuga clan, then the current Hinata is working hard from the bottom of her heart, hoping not to be left behind by Naruto.

Hinata is a bit precocious, or rather, children in the ninja world are generally precocious, but Hinata's precocity is more obvious.

At her age, she seems to have already found her "lifelong" goal and is striving for it.

By the time Hanako brought Hinata and Neji home, it was already evening, and the sun had almost completely set, with only a few rays of sunset remaining on the horizon.

Shinichi Hyuga was also standing at the door to welcome his younger siblings home. Seeing the two children covered in dust, he knew that they had not relaxed their training after he left.

"Are you back?"

"Sorry, I had some urgent business to take care of before I came back. I thought you two had been back for a while, but I didn't expect you to have been staying at the training ground."

"I forgot to pick you up, sorry~"

Shinichi Hyuga leaned against the doorframe and said with a smile, which earned him a glare from Hinata.

Hinata glanced at Shinichi with some displeasure before hurrying into the courtyard and heading towards her room.

Neji, on the other hand, bowed slightly to Shinichi Hyuga with some respect and solemnly said:

“Brother, of course, important matters are at hand. It’s my fault for not listening to you and bringing Hinata back sooner.”

"It was my fault for letting my aunt come looking for me."

Neji was very close to the main branch of the family. Whenever Hinata was on vacation from the Ninja Academy, Neji would come to stay at the main branch for a few days.

On one hand, Hiashi was very optimistic about Neji's talent and hoped to cultivate Neji to become Shinichi's right-hand man in the future. He would call Neji over and take the time to guide him in his training. Hiashi was even influenced by Shinichi and secretly taught Neji some of the main family's secret techniques.

On the other hand, it also allows Neji to serve as Hinata's sparring partner, making Hinata's holiday life more "fulfilling" and preventing her from running out of the house every day to find that blond-haired guy from the Hokage's family!

Hiashi had some reservations about the blond guy from the Hokage's family.

Of course, it wasn't because Naruto did anything wrong, or because Hiashi disliked any particular trait of Naruto.

Japanese foot simply didn't want to see his daughter getting too close to someone else's blond-haired boyfriend.

However, none of his measures were of any use.

Hinata's obedience wasn't because she didn't want to play with Naruto and the others; it was simply because sparring with Neji would help her improve her strength, giving her more time and opportunities to spend with Naruto in the future...

Hinata's goal was so clear that even Hiashi, her father, probably didn't expect it.

Shinichi, standing at the door, turned back to look in the direction Hinata had left, scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, then waved to Neji, gently patted Neji's shoulder, and said warmly:

"Neji, you're the only one who knows how to appreciate the hardships I've endured."

"What a thoughtful guy. Let's go take a shower first, then we'll eat."

Neji is still the same Neji, mature and steady. Although you can sometimes feel a sense of distance from Neji, Shinichi knows that it is probably the result of the Hizashi family's "separation" education.

However, Shinichi didn't mind, because they hadn't spent enough time together. Once they spent more time together, Neji's sense of distance would naturally disappear.
