Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

Seeing that Minato was concerned about his physical condition, Shinichi walked to the table and answered with a smile.

"What kind of enemy is it?" Minato didn't waste any words. With his intelligence, he naturally understood why Shinichi had come today.

"The enemy is a pair of people: Kakuzu, a rogue ninja from Takigakure, and Sasori, a rogue ninja from Sunagakure, who is a puppeteer."

"These two people attacked some of the Hyuga family's properties within the country. I received the news and went to pursue them, which led to a battle."

"I killed the puppeteer named Sasori, while the other Kakuzu escaped successfully."

"It is worth noting that the two men were dressed identically, wearing black robes embroidered with bright red auspicious cloud patterns."

"And just as I was about to pursue Kakuzu, a white creature appeared and blocked my way."

"Minato-kun, I remember the night Kushina-sensei gave birth, the enemy that attacked her wasn't just the masked man, was it?"

"After the incident, I carefully questioned my uncle about what happened when Hyuga Hizashi was protecting us. The enemy I encountered this time might be the same group that attacked Kushina-sensei back then!"

A glint of light flashed in Hyuga Shin's eyes, revealing information that instantly made Namikaze Minato serious. After a brief hesitation, Minato's mind flashed back to the events of that year. Suddenly regaining his senses, Minato pondered:

"you mean....."

"Are those people Obito's subordinates?"

"But...by the way, Shinichi, what businesses of your Hyuga clan were attacked?"

Minato couldn't figure out the enemy's purpose. Judging from Shinichi's description, the attack on the Hyuga was likely an organized operation. So, what was that organization's objective? And what was Obito planning?!

"The money exchange is their target; it's the cash stored there."

"As for what they need so much money for, I don't know."

"However, one thing is very clear: the members of their organization are mainly responsible for harboring rogue ninjas from various ninja villages."

Shinichi Hyuga knows a lot of information, but he can't reveal that much; he has to control the degree of information he can reveal.

The fact that the Fourth Hokage could connect Kakuzu and Sasori, whom he was currently encountering, with Obito Uchiha through the White Zetsu incident was enough to attract the Fourth Hokage's attention.

Although Akatsuki is a very strong organization with excellent secrecy, Konoha Village can still track their movements if they are determined to investigate.

As long as Minato recognizes this organization and understands the threat it poses, his room for manipulation will increase.

If we can eliminate the opponent before Xiao grows stronger, that would be ideal.

At the very least... we must do everything possible to prevent Konoha from being "carried away" by Pain.

When the topic of Obito Uchiha possibly being connected to the enemy Shinichi encountered came up, Minato naturally took it very seriously, and his questions became exceptionally detailed.

Kushina's fate was a hurdle that Minato could never overcome. His disciple became a rogue ninja who attacked Konoha and his wife, leaving a deep scar on Minato.

If there's anything Minato regrets about his life that he needs to make up for, then guiding his disciple Obito back onto the right path is what Minato wants to do.

However, he never mentioned this to anyone. Even Shinichi thought that Minato wanted to find Obito simply to get rid of this threat.

Minato asked detailed questions, and Shinichi naturally revealed more information. After all, it was Minato who asked the questions, and Shinichi could use "guessing" to tell Minato some of the things he knew.

This includes, but is not limited to: the enemy has a tightly organized structure; the members of the organization are "highly likely" rogue ninjas, all top-tier shinobi comparable to Kage; the enemy is accustomed to operating in pairs; and the organization's fundraising activities are unlikely to stop there.

At the same time, Shinichi also told Minato that Sasori, who died at his hands, was the real culprit who assassinated the Third Kazekage, and that even the Third Kazekage's corpse had been turned into a human puppet.

With Sasori as an example, the information Shinichi revealed about Akatsuki naturally attracted Minato's utmost attention.

Although the total number of people in this organization is unknown, such a group of people gathered together is unlikely to be doing good deeds.

Minato and Shinichi both agreed that this organization had grand ambitions. While gathering funds, they were also expanding their military power. Considering Obito Uchiha's attack on Kushina back then, they would eventually target Jinchuriki again.

Shinichi didn't provide more specific information about Akatsuki's personnel, but Minato already had a plan in mind, although this plan...

"Shinichi, there's something I want to ask you!"

Shinichi and Minato chatted for nearly an hour. As the conversation drew to a close, Minato suddenly looked at Shinichi with earnest eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Well..."

Upon hearing this, Shinichi raised an eyebrow:

"Don't say 'please'... Brother Minato, just tell me what you need me to do."

Shinichi had a vague suspicion in his heart, but he remained calm for a moment.

"Regarding that organization, I want your Hyuga clan to lead the investigation."

“The village has just gone through a war and is short of manpower. Moreover, there are very few people in the village who are capable of investigating that organization.”

“You have clashed with that organization several times, so you are somewhat familiar with it. Moreover, the Hyuga clan’s Byakugan happens to be very good at this kind of investigation.”

"Although that organization hasn't caused any major disturbances at the moment, we can't just do nothing."

"Shinichi, what do you think?"

Minato Namikaze already knew about Akatsuki, which made it impossible for him to sit idly by.

However, as Minato said, Konoha may appear to be in its "golden age" and has just gone through a generational change, but in reality, there are only a few top-tier fighters in the village.

If the members of the organization Obito belongs to are as powerful as Shinichi predicted, then there are very few people in the village who are capable of investigating that organization.

As the Hokage, Minato couldn't possibly take the initiative to attack; Kushina was a Jinchuriki, and Minato didn't want her to leave his side; Danzo and Hiruzen were either not trusted or were too old and frail.

Among the middle generation of Minato's contemporaries, there were no particularly outstanding individuals, and among the new generation, only Shinichi Hyuga was capable of investigating that organization.

Upon careful consideration, Shinichi is the most suitable person to undertake this task.

Shinichi is strong enough and knows the organization well. The only problem is that he's from the Hyuga main branch. Given the high risk of this mission, it's unclear what the clan's attitude will be...

"For the sake of the village, it is my duty as a Konoha ninja to investigate that organization."

"However, this mission is not something that can be accomplished by the Hyuga clan alone."

"As you know, although our Hyuga clan has the Byakugan, its weaknesses are still too obvious when it comes to combat."

"I need different types of ninjas to work with me."

Shinichi didn't reject Minato's mission. Upon reflection, he could understand Minato's current predicament.

Ultimately, they had too few cards in their hand, and even fewer trump cards.

Unfortunately, Akatsuki is full of "wild cards." If Konoha doesn't send a Survey Corps of equal strength to investigate Akatsuki, they'll just be easy prey.

Shinichi understood this, and coincidentally, he also hoped to take this opportunity to legitimately roam outside the village, and also to stay away from the infighting and strife within the village.

Although Danzo and Hiruzen are being suppressed by Minato, who knows what they might do in private.

By taking on this mission, Shinichi can also pull away a group of elites, allowing some people to avoid the internal strife within the village.

"Hmm...you make a good point. Who would you like to have help you?"

“This will be a long-term task. I will give you enough freedom. Just tell me which person’s abilities you value.”

"I will never refuse if I can agree to it."

Minato was very generous, and Shinichi was happy that he accepted the task without hesitation.

Ultimately, this was for Konoha, to protect Kushina.

"This task is primarily about investigation and research, so we don't need too many people."

"Since I'm in charge... I need to track down experienced team members whose ninjutsu skills complement mine."

"Please assign Uchiha Shisui and Might Guy to me."

"Shisui is meticulous and experienced in tracking, while Kai's moves are wide and powerful, which suits my fighting style very well."

"If I could be assigned Kakashi Hatake based on these two, that would be even better."

Over the years, Kakashi has earned the title of "Copy Ninja" in the ninja world. His mastery of various ninjutsu makes up for the team's lack of diverse techniques.

Although Kakashi is very inexperienced, it doesn't matter. After all, Obito Uchiha probably wouldn't dare to show his face for the sake of his former comrade!

If Kakashi were to become familiar with the Mangekyou Sharingan during the operation and learn to use Kamui beforehand, then this mission would be much easier to complete!

Upon hearing the names of a few genuine ninjas, Minato nodded silently.

They are all the backbone of the younger generation, with strong capabilities and huge potential.

With Shinichi's Flying Thunder God Technique present, Minato wasn't too worried about the safety of these people.

After a moment's thought, Minato nodded and said:

"I will arrange all the people you mentioned for you."

"You should rest for a while. I will issue the official transfer order in a few days."

"I want you to investigate this matter fully in your capacity as the leader of the secret service team, and to be directly responsible to me."

"Shinichi, be careful. The safety of Konoha depends on you!"

"I remember you said you didn't want to work in the Dark Division, so why did you agree to this job in the end?"

“Shinichi, if the Fourth Hokage is forcing you, I, as your father, can represent the Hyuga clan to negotiate on your behalf.”

After returning from the Hokage Building, Shinichi Hyuga informed Hiashi Hyuga of the Fourth Hokage's new appointment. His position was somewhat special, and some things needed to be discussed beforehand to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Upon hearing that Shinichi Hyuga had been appointed by the Fourth Hokage as the captain of the ANBU (Anti-Secession Division) to investigate the mysterious organization, Hiashi felt somewhat puzzled.
