Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

A birthday celebration? A big party?

The girl you like?

After connecting a few words, Zhenyi immediately understood.

"Is this... a mission for the Hyuga main family?"

Shinichi Hyuga lowered his head and brows, his tone revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

"mission?"

"Don't think like that. It ultimately depends on your wishes."

"Anyway, we're still young. We're just getting to know each other now. We'll see what happens in the future."

"It's actually a form of free love, except that the romantic partner... can only be a girl from within the clan."

"You have to understand, Shinichi."

Shinichi Hyuga had originally planned to stay at home for a while before starting his training journey, hoping to significantly improve his strength before the real crisis arrived.

The world of Naruto is full of strange and mysterious things. Shinichi Hyuga not only wanted to explore the various relics left on Earth by the Otsutsuki clan, but he also wanted to find out the secret of the immortality of the Jashin Cult.

He had so many curiosities he wanted to uncover the truth.

However, to his surprise, this time upon his return, it seemed impossible to continue proceeding slowly according to his established plan.

The words that Hiashi Hyuga spoke to him at this moment would bring about tremendous changes to Shinichi's future life.

A lavish birthday celebration?

The girl you like?

When these words are put together, how could Shinichi Hinata not understand what his father was saying? He was probably trying to set him up on a blind date.

To Shinichi Hinata's surprise, he was receiving the care and attention from his elders that he had never experienced in his previous life.

Or rather... what he didn't expect was that even after being reincarnated into the Naruto world, the topic of blind dates still revolved around young men like him.

Well... As the head of the Hyuga clan, continuing the family line is not only one of his obligations, but he also needs to be responsible for the purity of the Hyuga bloodline of his descendants. His wife can only be chosen from among the Hyuga clan members.

For someone of his status, the idea of ​​free love is simply too far removed from reality.

"It's a blind date..."

Shinichi Hyuga's expression faltered for a moment, but after regaining his composure, he tentatively asked:

"Father, could we discuss this matter again in a few years?"

"I think I still have a lot of potential to be tapped, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in my combat effectiveness."

"I don't want to waste my energy on other things."

Dating is a very demanding thing. People... maybe only have the thought of dating when they have nothing else to do.

Why do student-era romances often remain unforgettable for a lifetime? It's because that period happens to be when people experience the least stress and have the most leisurely lives.

As people grow up and enter society, the heavy pressure of survival forces them to stop thinking about trivial matters.

For Shinichi Hyuga now, the powerful enemies who could threaten his survival in the future are forcing him to become stronger and stronger. He hopes that one day he can completely control his own destiny, and all of this requires strong strength as a foundation.

Shinichi Hyuga has always been a very opinionated person, and because he is known as a "genius," Hiashi often goes along with Shinichi's wishes in many things. Of course, Shinichi has never disappointed him.

However... this time, faced with his genius son's discussion, or rather, request, Hiashi Hyuga shook his head with some regret:

"This matter was initiated by your great-grandfather, Shin Hyuga, and the branch family also strongly supported it. It's not something that can be changed overnight."

"Shinichi, I have never seen you as a child."

"With your intelligence, you must know what this means."

"Your birthday is next February, and you'll be 15 years old then. You're not young anymore. Besides, it's just a simple matter of getting to know someone of the opposite sex who is around your age. There's no requirement for you to make a choice and get married in a short period of time."

"After all, he is the person who will spend the rest of your life with you. As his father, I naturally hope that you can make a careful choice rather than a hasty decision."

"You and your future wife will also need time to get to know each other. After three or four years, you will be 18 or 19 years old and of marriageable age."

The Hyuga clan is a family with a long history, having survived from the brutal Warring States period to the present day. The Hyuga main family's succession system also dictates that the main family's heirs often marry at a relatively young age.

In an era when the average lifespan of a ninja was less than 26 years, and when children as young as 6 or 7 had to go to the battlefield, the male members of the Hyuga main family often had to get married at the age of 14 or 15 to continue the family line.

This practice of marrying at an early age for survival has been deeply ingrained in the Hyuga family's genes and has been passed down to this day.

Although we have now entered the era of the ninja village and the environment is relatively peaceful, the old-fashioned concept of valuing offspring among some of the elders in the clan has not changed.

The succession of the Hyuga main family is now a done deal. Although due to certain circumstances, Hinata and Hanabi will only be branded with the Caged Bird Seal after they finish their studies at the Ninja Academy, the decision for Shinichi Hyuga to inherit the main family has long been a consensus among the Hyuga clan.

Given this, ensuring the continuation of the main family bloodline as soon as possible is naturally the common expectation of all the clan elders. At the same time, the position of the main family's wife has also attracted the covetous eyes of some people in the clan. It was only through the instigation of various forces that this "birthday matchmaking event" came about.

The main family's need to continue the bloodline, the power struggles among the branch families, and the Hyuga clan's growing influence in the village all contribute to their desire to use the birthday of the main family's heir to elevate the Hyuga clan's reputation to the status of "Konoha's number one ninja clan."

The combination of various factors led to a "grand event" that even the Japanese national football team could hardly refuse.

Shinichi Hyuga's birthday party is not just about Shinichi Hyuga alone; it is essentially related to the interests of the entire Hyuga family.

Hiashi Hyuga was already a mature politician and naturally understood this point, and he also believed that his son was intelligent enough to understand it as well.

How could Shinichi not understand what Hiashi Hyuga was talking about?

Upon closer reflection, Naruto was only 19 years old when he married Hinata, which is because Hinata is a girl, and there is a fundamental difference between her and boys.

Shinichi figured that his clan wouldn't allow him to get married after the age of 20. At this stage, the clan was just using his birthday as an opportunity to let him meet members of the opposite sex. The "pressure to get married" on Shinichi wasn't too great yet, but this pressure would become stronger as Shinichi got older.

This was a fate that Shinichi Hyuga could not escape.

Looking back now, compared to Hinata, who is destined to be branded with the Caged Bird Seal, perhaps I, as the eldest brother and heir of the main family, am nothing more than a "Caged Bird Seal" without the seal.

The existence of the Caged Bird Seal not only imprisons the branch family of the Hyuga clan, but also greatly restricts the main family of the Hyuga clan.

After a moment of contemplation, Shinichi Hyuga finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Even though his life was arranged for him, there was still some freedom, wasn't there? Even though he had to choose his fiancée from among the girls in his clan, Shinichi still had the right to choose, didn't he?

On the contrary, the fate of the girls waiting to be chosen from the branch families is perhaps truly tragic...

Shinichi Hinata was genuinely moved by the fate of these girls of similar age.

only....

Shinichi Hyuga's so-called "compassion" was completely unnecessary...

Those who split up have a great deal of autonomy. If the person in question is not interested in that position or in Shinichi Hyuga himself, they will not attend Shinichi Hyuga's birthday party.

Those who went, regardless of whether their goal was the location or Shinichi Hyuga himself, were mostly there voluntarily.

There are naturally those who are forced to participate by their elders, but how can those who are genuinely resistant possibly cultivate a good relationship with Shinichi Hyuga?

and....

Hinata Shinichi's reputation as a genius was established from a young age. He was also handsome and refined, and coupled with his status as the heir of the main family, he had already attracted many young girls who were just beginning to experience love.

In fact, if it weren't for the age requirement set by the clan elders, many single, unmarried women in the clan would probably have given it a try.

After realizing that his opinion could not influence the will of the clan, Shinichi Hyuga was forced to nod in agreement. With Shinichi Hyuga's clear statement, Hiashi began to get busy again.

Not only was Hiashi busy, but Shinichi Hyuga's mother, Hanako Hyuga, was even busier than him.

As the saying goes, dating is between two people; marriage is a "cooperation" between two families.

As Shinichi's mother, Hanako naturally didn't want a woman who didn't meet her standards to marry into their family. Besides superficial things like figure, appearance, and age, she valued a daughter-in-law's personality, upbringing, family background, and so on.

Before the "birthday party" or "matchmaking party" officially begins, Hyuga Hanako will screen out some people for her son in advance.

The daughter-in-law of the main family needs to be someone who can help the main family maintain its strength and stability.

A silly vase is not suitable for this position.

...

During his short stay at home, Shinichi Hyuga could clearly sense the joyful atmosphere that permeated the entire mansion.

Hanako was busy selecting a "concubine" for her son, a busyness that Shinichi found somewhat unreal.

Even though it's a Naruto world filled with blood and sweat, he always felt out of place with the people around him.

Or perhaps his ideas are somewhat out of step with those around him.

This feeling made Shinichi feel a bit annoyed. With nothing else to do, he invited a few close friends to have a small gathering at the training ground.

It seems that Kakashi Hatake was assigned an important mission by the Fourth Hokage. After resting in the village for a few days, he left Konoha again to carry out the mission.

Might Guy was also temporarily transferred to another class by the Fourth Hokage. Guy, who was a training fanatic, was also a "mission" fanatic. Even though he didn't have any financial pressure, he enjoyed the feeling of being busy.

Only Uchiha Shisui was still in the village, so Shinichi could only seek him out to relieve his distress. Accompanying Shisui was Uchiha Itachi, also from the Uchiha clan. The two were very close, and Itachi and Shinichi were also very close.

Although the Hyuga and Uchiha clans appear to be vying for the title of "Konoha's Greatest Ninja Clan," the Fugaku and Hiashi clans have a harmonious relationship, both between the older and younger generations.

The training session was a one-on-two battle between Shinichi Hyuga and his companions. Shinichi's taijutsu skills were too strong. Even though he intentionally held back his strength when fighting his companions, it was still very difficult for Shisui and Itachi to defend themselves.

They couldn't compete with Shinichi in terms of strength, so they could only rely on their skillful teamwork and the speed of their kunai to entangle with him.

The purpose of calling them out was to relieve his depression. When sparring with his two companions, Shinichi did not use his powers. While fighting, he told the two about his recent experiences.
