Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

Just as Minato was lost in thought, the door suddenly opened, and Kushina, wearing an apron, entered the room. Glancing at Naruto, who was diligently writing at his desk, Kushina didn't disturb him and softly called out to Minato:

"Watergate."

He only called out Minato's name once, but thanks to the tacit understanding between the couple, Minato instantly understood why Kushina had stopped her housework to come here.

Perhaps... Kushina, like him, sensed the presence of that power.

"Don't worry, it's nothing."

"Once Naruto finishes his homework, we'll take him out for a walk."

"It's been a long time since I've been to the Hyuga family. Now that Shinichi is back, I might as well go and visit them."

Naruto, who was doing his homework, became interested when he heard that he was going to visit the Hyuga family later, and his writing speed increased considerably.

Although Naruto's personality has become much more mature under the influence of Minato and Kushina, he's still a child at heart, and his playful side remains. He's not a quiet person, and if he's asked to train in ninjutsu, he won't hesitate no matter how difficult or tiring it may be.

But sitting at a desk writing these theoretical lessons...

Naruto was rather uninterested; if it weren't for the fact that he had to compete with Sasuke, he wouldn't have liked this kind of thing at all.

At the door, Kushina nodded upon hearing this. She had come to find Minato because she sensed something unusual coming from the Hyuga clan. She was also concerned about her best friend. Kushina had long considered Hanako as her family.

Moreover, Shinichi Hyuga was her disciple, and they had a de facto master-disciple relationship.

In addition, Hinata has often visited Kushina's house over the years, and Kushina also likes Hinata's straightforward personality, which is just like hers.

These various connections suggest that the relationship between the Hokage family and the Hyuga family is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

Their two families are close allies, sharing both prosperity and adversity.

"I'll go wash the dishes first, Naruto, hurry up."

Kushina remembered that she still had things to do, and before leaving, she urged Naruto to finish them quickly.

As she spoke, Kushina closed the door again.

...

As Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki sensed the powerful chakra emanating from the Hyuga clan, the stronger members of Konoha with their enhanced sensory abilities also sensed it.

The young Toneri was unable to control his power, and the movements during the transformation of his Tenseigan were quite significant. In Konoha, a village teeming with powerful ninjas, the chakra emanating from Toneri was like the sun, with an extremely strong presence.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, a highly skilled member of the Uchiha clan, and the Yamanaka clan, who hold important positions in the village due to their exceptional sensory abilities.

Many people noticed something amiss at the Hyuga clan that night, but no one went to investigate directly like Minato did.

Aside from the Hokage, who has the right to interfere in the affairs of the Hyuga clan?!

Even if one is curious, one can only keep it to oneself and then find other ways to find out.

...

The land of the Hyuga family.

After replacing Toneri's eyes, the removed eyes were stored in a container, which was then sealed by Shinichi Hyuga and placed on the altar in the ancestral shrine.

As for Toneri, eye transplantation is still a major surgery, and his left eye is transforming into the Tenseigan, so it can't be "plug and play" like Kakashi transplanted Obito's eye back then.

After his eyes were bandaged, Shiro was taken back to his room by Shinichi, and at Shinichi's instruction, he went to bed early to rest.

The transformation of the Byakugan will also cause a change in Toneri's own chakra. Although only one eye has evolved, its influence on the nature of Toneri's chakra is still very strong.

Judging from Shinichi's observation, it will probably take nearly a week for Toneri's eyes to fully transform.

Before that, it would be better for Toneri not to use chakra lightly.

Getting plenty of rest also helps with the growth and changes in the eyes.

After telling the host to rest, Shinichi also left the host's room and returned to his own.

Shiren's room was very close to Shinichi's room, with only five or six meters between the doors. Sensing that Shinichi was in the room separated from his by just one wall, Shiren felt a strange sense of security and then drifted off to sleep.

It was still early, so Shinichi went back to his room and flipped through all the travel biographies of famous figures from the ninja world, trying to find some useful clues about relics.

Having lived in this world for so many years, some of Shinichi's memories have indeed become somewhat blurred, but some things have long been deeply etched in his mind. Throughout his years in this world, Shinichi would often look back to prevent himself from forgetting those important pieces of information.

Now that he has awakened the Tenseigan, he can now seek the power of the Ten-Tails...

His target wasn't the Ten-Tails, which had been split into nine tailed beasts by the Sage of Six Paths. His target was the power of the Ten-Tails that Isshiki Otsutsuki brought to the ninja world.

Yes, there isn't just one Ten-Tails. In a different dimension connected to some ruins on Earth, there is another Ten-Tails sealed away, and that Ten-Tails is the power that Shinichi Hyuga wants to obtain.

Power... What Shinichi Hyuga sought was power.

Now, with the blessing of the Tenseigan, he should be able to become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki without being devoured by the Ten-Tails' will. As long as he can obtain that Ten-Tails, his power will be able to reach another level.

Only when he reaches that time will he be able to possess power far exceeding that of the Otsutsuki, and he will no longer have to worry about the Otsutsuki threatening him!

Shinichi, who was engrossed in reading biographies in his room, lost track of time. Just as he was starting to feel stiff and wanted to stretch, there was a knock on the door. Hiashi, standing outside, didn't bother to enter Shinichi's room and simply said:

"Shinichi, you can stay inside."

"The Fourth Hokage has come to the Hyuga clan. Let's go see him together."

"His visit this time is probably..."

Before Hiashi Hyuga could finish speaking, Shinichi Hyuga opened the door and interrupted him, dressed in his training clothes:

"It's alright, Father."

"Just say what you mean. We can completely trust the Fourth Hokage."

Shinichi Hyuga's words calmed Hiashi Hyuga down. He smiled and nodded, then walked towards the front hall.

Hiashi's mindset is somewhat different from Shinichi's. When facing the Fourth Hokage, Hiashi always feels a distance between them. He cannot be as open and honest with the Fourth Hokage as Shinichi is.

Although he was well aware of the close relationship between the Hyuga clan and the Hokage family, he still regarded the Hokage family as outsiders.

Shinichi, however, was quite different. He seemed to regard the Fourth Generation family as his own. Although Hiashi understood that Shinichi and Kushina had a disciple-master relationship, from Hiashi's perspective, even if they were master and disciple, there should be some difference between them and family.

This is actually due to the information gap between Hijikata and Shinichi...

Hmm...maybe in another ten years, Japan will understand.

When Shishi and Shinichi met the Shidai family who had come to visit, Hanako, as the hostess, had already invited them to the pavilion for tea.

After all, Minato said that they just thought of visiting the Hyuga family after dinner, so Hanako didn't formally invite them to sit in the living room. Instead, they drank tea and chatted in the pavilion, just like a small gathering of close friends.

When Shinichi and Hiashi arrived, Hanako was chatting enthusiastically with Kushina, while Minato and Naruto sat on the side, unable to join in the women's conversation.

Upon seeing Shinichi and Hiashi arrive, Minato smiled and rose to greet Hiashi.

"Hiashi, Shinichi, I've come with my family to visit you. I apologize for disturbing you."

Minato was very polite, and Hiashi naturally reciprocated with the same courtesy:

"You're being too polite. There's nothing presumptuous about it. Please come visit more often when you have time."

"On the contrary, I feel a little sorry for not being able to greet you all immediately."

"It's because there were some things that had to be dealt with within the clan. Please forgive me."

Hiashi knew Minato's purpose in coming, and he also knew from Shinichi that there were some things that didn't need to be hidden from the Fourth Hokage. Therefore, even though the other party didn't ask, Hiashi took the initiative to steer the conversation in that direction.

As expected, Minato raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and followed up with a question:

"What happened to the Hyuga family? Please don't hesitate to ask for my help if you need it."

"Uh... If you're busy, don't worry about us. Business is more important."

Minato was a man of high emotional intelligence, and he spoke with great tact. At the same time, he also understood the unspoken meaning in Hiashi's words and went along with it, asking the question.

"The matter was important, but it's already finished."

"Shinichi should have reported this to you as well."

"Didn't Shinichi bring a child back from there this time?"

As he spoke, Rizu pointed to the bright moon in the sky, and then continued:

"That child has outstanding talent and has the opportunity to awaken a bloodline limit similar to Shinichi's. That's why the clan is helping him develop his bloodline."

Although Shinichi explicitly stated that he could be honest with Minato, Hiashi still left something unsaid when explaining to Minato, not going into detail about changing Toneri's eyes.

Minato was smart, so he naturally wouldn't delve into this further. Every clan has its own secrets. If the other party told him, it would be giving face to him as the Hokage. If they didn't, it would be in line with the characteristics of the ninja clan.

On the contrary, if he, as the Hokage, asked too many questions, it would seem that he lacked manners.

Furthermore, from Hiashi's answer, Minato had already gotten the answer he wanted. Now it seems that the unusual chakra was the result of the child's bloodline awakening.

"The same bloodline limit as Shinichi..."

"The Hyuga clan is truly powerful."

Minato inwardly praised the exchange, a smile appearing on his face. The purpose of the trip had been achieved; the remaining interaction between the two families would truly be nothing more than casual conversation to strengthen their relationship and connections.

Hiashi and Minato were talking about unimportant "official business," while Hanako and Kushina were discussing the children's lives at the Ninja Academy. Naruto sat to the side, often hearing Hanako's praise and his mother's humble words like, "Naruto still has a long way to go."

Parents have their own topics to discuss, but Naruto, sitting in the pavilion, seemed rather uncomfortable.

However, his eyes would occasionally steal glances at Shinichi Hyuga. Naruto was naturally familiar with Hinata's older brother, but in recent years Shinichi had been away from Konoha more often than in the village. Even Hinata rarely saw Shinichi, let alone Naruto.

Naruto often heard stories about Shinichi from his father and mother, and now that he saw Shinichi in person, he couldn't help but want to take a few more glances at him.

"Your eyes are so beautiful..."

"It's a little different from Hinata's Byakugan..."
