Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

Kabuto, who had been observing from the sidelines, seemed to have found an opportunity to intervene. Seeing Shinichi Hyuga standing still, Kabuto instantly teleported to Shinichi's side, pulled out a chakra blade, and slashed directly at Shinichi's neck.

The thin shield of chakra surrounding Shinichi slightly delayed Kabuto's attack. As Shinichi dodged, he also realized that someone was attacking him under the cover of darkness.

Although he couldn't see what was happening, Shinichi's position was revealed the moment Kabuto's attack broke through Shinichi's protective chakra. Even though he couldn't see it, Shinichi vaguely knew the enemy's location.

Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!

With the enemy close by, Shinichi didn't want to waste chakra using any wide-range attack techniques, so he directly used the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms towards that empty space.

Shinichi Hyuga's first finger struck Kabuto Yakushi's lower abdomen. Caught off guard, Kabuto involuntarily let out a low groan as he was struck hard.

Based on the tactile sensation of the attack and the sound Kabuto made, the outline of a human figure was already formed in Shinichi's mind. What Kabuto was about to face was Shinichi's barrage of attacks.

"Da da da--"

As Shinichi Hyuga's finger strikes land on Kabuto's body, muffled thuds echoed through the air. Even without the Byakugan's help, the Sixty-Four Palms technique failed to completely seal and pierce Kabuto's pressure points, but thanks to Shinichi's mastery of the Sixty-Four Palms, Kabuto's upper torso was almost entirely blocked from chakra.

As the sixty-four palm strikes were completed, Kabuto was sent flying by Shinichi's attack, crashing heavily to the ground, making it incredibly difficult for him to get up. A muffled thud echoed nearby, and the darkness before Shinichi was completely dispelled.

"what!!!!"

Shinichi Hyuga didn't even have time to check on Kabuto Yakushi's condition after being knocked away by him when a cry of pain instantly caught his attention.

Looking to the side, he saw a figure flying rapidly backwards towards him.

"Kakashi!" Shisui's low voice came from afar. The next second, Tobirama Senju also rushed in front of Shisui and kicked him away.

The Dark Walk Technique is not just a one-on-one illusion; on the contrary, it is actually an area-of-effect illusion. Shinichi Hyuga wasn't the only one affected by the Dark Walk Technique; Kakashi and Shisui were also caught in its grasp.

Their physical abilities were no match for the reanimated Second Hokage. Even if the Second Hokage only retained about 60% of his former strength, he was still beyond the capabilities of Kakashi and Shisui in their current state.

After their vision was obstructed, Kakashi and Shisui were both knocked away by the Second Hokage.

Kakashi was sent flying in the direction that Shinichi Hyuga was in. Shinichi moved swiftly and caught Kakashi in mid-air. The immense force dragged Shinichi back several meters before he finally regained his footing.

However, in the next instant, Tobirama Senju had already used Body Flicker to get close to Shinichi Hyuga, and his kunai was aimed at Shinichi Hyuga's temple, sweeping straight at him.

After Shinichi Hyuga broke free from the Second Hokage's genjutsu, his vision returned. Although Tobirama Senju moved quickly, he still couldn't escape Tobirama's eyes.

Faced with the attack, Shinichi immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to send Kakashi out of his arms, then lowered his body and rushed in front of Tobirama, delivering a palm strike to the latter's chest.

The overwhelming force forced Tobirama to stagger back two steps, and then he was met with Shinichi Hyuga's furious onslaught.

Shinichi's current physical techniques have long since integrated the so-called hard fist and soft fist. Not only are his punches and palms full of power, but after hitting the enemy's body, he also uses the characteristics of soft fist to seal the opponent's pressure points.

However, the Gentle Fist technique was ineffective against the Second Hokage's reanimated body, and the so-called "Hard Fist" technique had little effect.

If it were an ordinary person's body, being hit by Shinichi repeatedly would have broken their bones and rendered them unable to move. However, the Second Hokage, in his Edo Tensei body, was completely unaware of this, and being hit by Shinichi several times did not affect his mobility at all.

After exchanging a dozen or so quick blows, Shinichi had already figured out Tobirama's strength. However, in the short time that was delayed, Hashirama Senju, who had been shattered by the Mutual Explosion Tags, had already completed his body repair. After getting up, he quickly joined the battle and, together with Tobirama, attacked Shinichi.

Neither of the two reanimated bodies used ninjutsu; they only used taijutsu, yet they managed to suppress Shinichi for a time.

The two Hokage had different taijutsu characteristics. Hashirama's taijutsu was wide and powerful, with each move infused with monstrous strength, posing an immense threat to Shinichi.

Tobirama, on the other hand, followed a technical and agile approach. However, due to Orochimaru's low accuracy in using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Tobirama was actually easier to deal with. However, with Hashirama's cover, Shinichi, relying on his taijutsu, was unable to counter the two of them.

The battlefield was divided into three parts.

At this moment, the battle between Jiraiya and Orochimaru had entered a heated phase. After a brief contest of physical combat, the two used summoning techniques one after the other. The appearance of Gamabunta and Manda made the battlefield even more chaotic.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya's battle also shifted from a direct confrontation between "masters" to a battle between summoned beasts, giving them time to coordinate the overall battle.

When Orochimaru noticed that Kabuto had been defeated and that the two Hokage he had resurrected through Edo Tensei were besieging Shinichi Hyuga and unable to defeat him, this situation was truly unexpected for Orochimaru, causing his gaze to linger on Shinichi for a long time.

Hinata Shinichi...

Before becoming a rogue ninja, Orochimaru already knew Shinichi. To say he knew him might be an exaggeration, but at least Orochimaru knew Shinichi's name and that he was a Hyuga clan member whom some people in the village called a "genius."

Although Orochimaru knew that this genius was growing rapidly, the fact that Shinichi Hyuga had grown to this level in just a few years still made Orochimaru look at him with new respect.

He was well aware that the quality of his Edo Tensei was not very high, but even so, the fact that he could calmly deal with the siege of two Hokage showed just how strong Shinichi Hyuga was.

Orochimaru's seemingly certain victory was made more uncertain by the presence of Shinichi Hyuga.

"The Hyuga clan has actually produced such a prodigy?!"

Even Orochimaru, who was used to flattery and seeing genius teenagers, couldn't help but sigh in admiration when faced with the formidable Shinichi Hyuga.

Shinichi Hyuga's strength was beyond Orochimaru's expectations, but Orochimaru did not feel that the battle had slipped out of his control.

Aside from the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation, he had many other forbidden techniques he had kept hidden away.

However, Orochimaru's two subordinates were both weakened by Might Guy and knocked to the ground by Shinichi Hyuga's Gentle Fist, which prevented Orochimaru from fully concentrating on dealing with Jiraiya.

Although Orochimaru wasn't the type to care about the lives of his subordinates, Kimimaro and Kabuto held different meanings for him.

Kimimaro is one of the most ideal vessels for his resurrection, while Kabuto is a great helper in his research on the human body and ninjutsu.

If Orochimaru loses these two people, he simply won't be able to find suitable replacements in a short period of time.

Standing atop Manda, Orochimaru's gaze fell upon Shinichi Hyuga. Watching Shinichi calmly withstand the combined attacks of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, a glint of greed and fervor rose in his eyes.

The Byakugan of the Hyuga main family...

It seems I underestimated this powerful Konoha clan... If I could obtain Shinichi Hyuga's body, my potential would surely increase significantly!

Orochimaru's research into the Reanimation Jutsu was only partly driven by the desire for eternal life. More importantly, Orochimaru recognized early on the crucial role of bloodline for ninjas.

The existence of bloodline limits means that some ninjas are born strong, and the effort and sweat that ordinary ninjas need to put in to rival them is unimaginable. Moreover, more generally, even if an ordinary person works hard their whole life, they may not even reach the minimum level of a bloodline limit ninja.

This is the cruel side of the ninja world: bloodline... is a real thing and has a significant impact on a ninja's strength and potential.

The Reanimation Jutsu gave Orochimaru the opportunity to acquire a bloodline limit. The constraints of bloodline no longer existed for him.

Orochimaru has been searching for excellent bloodline limit ninjas all over the world over the years, but after looking at many, his favorite is still Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku.

Now that Orochimaru has seen the exceptionally strong Shinichi Hyuga, other thoughts have begun to arise in his mind.

Originally... he was a Konoha ninja. On one hand, the Hyuga clan hadn't produced any outstanding ninjas that Orochimaru coveted the Byakugan. On the other hand, the Hyuga clan's protection of the main branch was very strict. For Orochimaru at that time, there was no need to seize the Byakugan.

However, he has already become a rogue ninja of Konoha. No matter what he does, he can never erase his identity as a rogue ninja. Moreover, Shinichi Hyuga has also given Orochimaru a glimpse into the limits of the Byakugan.

From any perspective, taking away the Byakugan seems like a very good option.

Upon realizing this, Orochimaru immediately put his plan into action. His neck, like Luffy's rubber fruit, stretched out rapidly and shot towards Shinichi Hyuga, who was being besieged by Hashirama and Tobirama.

"Shinichi! Be careful!"

Seeing Orochimaru suddenly attack Hyuga Shinichi, Jiraiya hurriedly warned him. At the same time, he rapidly formed hand seals, his white hair quickly enveloping his body, and countless needles shot out, piercing towards Orochimaru's body on Manda's head.

Ninja Technique: Needle Jizo!

“Shhhhhhhh—”

The needles flew like a thousand needles, instantly tearing Orochimaru's body to shreds. However, Jiraiya's attacks had no effect on Orochimaru's offensive.

Shinichi Hyuga, who was fighting the First and Second Hokage, naturally noticed Orochimaru's actions. The Byakugan's vision was not "free," and he was already wary of Orochimaru.

As Shinichi used both hands to block Hashirama and Tobirama's attacks with punches and palms respectively, a kunai inadvertently fell from Shinichi's sleeve and landed on the ground.

Just as the kunai was about to hit the ground, Shin raised his foot and kicked the tip of the kunai. At the same time, the kunai instantly changed direction and shot directly toward Orochimaru's head.

Shinichi Hyuga's kunai was imbued with powerful lightning chakra, and its firing speed far exceeded that of ordinary kunai.

However, facing Shinichi's powerful offensive, Orochimaru revealed a smile on his face. He twisted his neck in the air and instantly changed the position of his head, easily avoiding Shinichi's attack. He then approached Shinichi and opened his mouth to bite Shinichi's neck.

Orochimaru's body was modified into strange and unusual forms, but in actual combat, these bizarre characteristics made him incredibly difficult to deal with.

Seeing that he was about to be bitten, Shinichi remained calm. Noticing Orochimaru's greedy eyes, Shinichi's expression hardened.

"Well?!"

Just when Orochimaru thought he had succeeded, Shinichi Hyuga disappeared from his sight without warning.

At the same time, Orochimaru felt a blur before his eyes, and his vision involuntarily plummeted. Realizing this, Orochimaru hurriedly turned around and saw that Shinichi Hyuga, who had disappeared in front of him, had somehow appeared behind him.

The place where he appeared was where the kunai was in mid-air. The moment Hyuga Shinichi caught the kunai, he grabbed it and swept it across Orochimaru's outstretched neck. The kunai, infused with lightning chakra, instantly severed Orochimaru's neck.

As blood spurted out, Orochimaru's head, along with his several-meter-long neck, fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out continuously from the severed wound, and the moment Orochimaru's blood came into contact with the air, it transformed into an unknown neurotoxin. As his neck was severed, a faint purple mist also spread out.

Shinichi Hyuga has always been a cautious person, and he knew a lot about Orochimaru. After severing Orochimaru's neck...did he really succeed in killing Orochimaru?!

It's not that easy. Do you think someone like Orochimaru is so easy to kill?!

Therefore, Shinichi, who had successfully attacked, did not stay in place for even a moment. After severing the opponent's neck with a kunai, he quickly used Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to Jiraiya's side.

Orochimaru puts a lot of pressure on Shinichi, so to be on the safe side, staying with Jiraiya would make him feel much safer. Moreover, Jiraiya can attract most of Orochimaru's attention, giving Shinichi a chance to capture Orochimaru alive.

"Bang!!!"

With a thud, Orochimaru's head and long neck hit the ground. Kabuto, who had been unable to get up for a long time, finally stood up with difficulty. When he saw Orochimaru lying in a pool of blood, his expression changed drastically, and he let out a deep cry of pain: "Lord Orochimaru!"

However, before Kabuto could even process his grief, Orochimaru suddenly opened his mouth, and a sticky hand emerged from it, slamming heavily onto the ground. At the same time, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju swiftly arrived at Kabuto's side, subtly offering their assistance.

Under the watchful eyes of Kabuto, Shinichi Hyuga, and the others, Orochimaru's mouth opened wider and wider, and at the same time, an Orochimaru covered in slime slowly crawled out from the severed body.

"Hehehehe..."

"What are you yelling about, Dou?"
