Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

"I believe that in a few years, you will make the entire ninja world know you!"

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

Chapter 47 Teammates? My death star is shining!

Hiashi Hyuga's letter of recommendation is very powerful.

On the day the letter of recommendation was submitted, there were many high-ranking officials from Konoha present in the Hokage's office, but apart from Mitokado Homura, who unknowingly made a sarcastic remark about Hyuga Hiashi, the other high-ranking officials had a very ambiguous attitude towards Hyuga Shinichi.

Even Danzo, who was considered by Shinichi to be the most fond of causing trouble, chose to acquiesce to this matter.

As for the others, upon learning that Shinichi had now mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, they were filled with surprise and immense joy.

This does not mean that Konoha will not need to worry about a lack of successors in the foreseeable future of the next 50 years!

Although Shinichi Hyuga is still young, in the ninja world, strength is power, and the Flying Thunder God Technique is equivalent to strength and power!

This weight is even greater than that of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan bloodline limit!

Shinichi Hyuga became the youngest special jonin in the village. Although he was different from a jonin in the true sense, his name once again spread widely in the Konoha ninja circle after his appointment was issued.

However, only Shinichi's reputation was spread, but the fact that Shinichi had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique at such a young age was not revealed.

The Konoha leadership tacitly concealed the matter.

In the ninja world, there has never been a lack of geniuses and heroes; what is lacking are young heroes who can rise to prominence naturally.

The ninja world is so vast, and it's not just Konoha that "produces" geniuses; other ninja villages also frequently have their own renowned genius ninjas.

Therefore, even after becoming a special Jonin, Shinichi's life did not change much.

The only one who has changed is his own father, Hiashi Hyuga.

When his son became the youngest Special Jonin in the village's history, the father was even more excited than Shinichi.

Whenever he walks down the street, people always praise Rizu for raising such a good son. The constant stream of congratulatory messages has made Rizu feel quite proud. The usually serious and upright man is always beaming with pride and smiles these days.

The clansmen all thought that their clan leader had changed his ways.

For Shinichi, becoming a Special Jonin didn't bring him much of a change personally.

However, the atmosphere and environment of the Hyuga clan changed drastically because of his arrival. When the Hyuga clan members interacted with their friends and companions in the village, they inevitably heard about that genius from their clan.

Hearing the praise and admiration from others, they, being from the Hyuga clan, naturally felt extremely proud.

While marveling at the genius of the main family's heir, the Hyuga members of the branch family also found some solace in their resentment.

If the main family is weak, the members of the branch families will often feel unbalanced because of their origins. They will always feel that it is unfair and even resentful that such a "weak" main family can lead them just because of their origins.

However, Shinichi's appearance greatly diminished the thoughts of the branch family members.

Having witnessed Shinichi's talent, the members of the branch families could only sigh, "As expected of the main family." Under the leadership of the main family, they would feel that being dominated by the strong was "justified" and would not harbor much resentment.

Although the fundamental conflict between the main family and the branch family was not resolved, Hiashi Hyuga could clearly feel that the prestige of the main family had been enhanced, the influence of his words was increasing, and even the cohesion of the family had grown and improved.

This discovery delighted Hiashi, and even his relationship with his younger brother Hizashi became much more harmonious than before.

Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hiashi are twins, and their talents are actually quite similar, with Hizashi even being slightly stronger.

This made Hizashi always resentful of his status as a member of the branch family. He felt that he was no less than his older brother in every aspect, but he was only a member of the branch family because he was born later. This became a constant inner demon for Hizashi.

However, after Shinichi was born and showed his talent, Hizashi's inner demons gradually dissipated.

Seeing Shinichi's astonishing growth rate, Hizashi could only sigh that his father's choice back then seemed to have been perfectly correct.

If the heir of the main family is such a genius, he would be willing to wholeheartedly assist his nephew.

As for his son...

With such an elder brother guiding him, he'll surely become an outstanding ninja!

Time passed slowly, and a week later, a major event occurred in Konoha Village. Following instructions from the higher-ups, the territory of the major ninja clans in Konoha Village was re-divided.

The Uchiha clan, which was originally located in the central area, was relocated to the edge of the village, and the territories of other clans also underwent some changes.

The Hyuga clan, however, remains in the very center of Konoha Village, with its territory unchanged. In fact, due to population growth, its territory has expanded to some extent.

Shinichi didn't know what happened at that meeting, but according to his father, although there were dissenting voices from the Fugaku clan chief's side, they were suppressed by the advisory group.

Although the Fourth Hokage acted as a peacemaker, he couldn't help the Uchiha clan much more in this matter.

Shinichi himself could actually guess some of the reasons behind this.

The reason for excluding the Uchiha clan from the center of Konoha was due to the distrust of the Konoha leadership, as well as the consideration that the Uchiha clan possessed the power to control tailed beasts, so the two had to be managed separately.

Even Minato Namikaze couldn't stop the high-ranking group led by the Third Hokage from this matter.

This also made Shinichi realize that Minato's say was limited.

The advisory group, Root, the captain of the Anbu, and the "Shika" who was the leader of the Jonin class—these high-ranking members were all from the Third Hokage's faction. Minato was simply outnumbered and outmatched.

In important matters, Minato was hampered by others, but in specific, minor matters, he was still the one who could make decisions.

Shortly after Shinichi's appointment was announced, Minato personally selected teammates for him.

That's right, the team that Shinichi belongs to is entirely built around Shinichi himself.

Although Shinichi had the title of Special Jonin, the Fourth Hokage clearly did not treat him as a "normal" Special Jonin when he was assigned to the position.

The squad leader was named Aburame Shiki, twenty-seven years old, the prime of a ninja's life. He was a former teammate of Minato Namikaze and enjoyed Minato's trust, thus becoming the leader of Shinichi's squad.

In the same group was a Chunin named Uchiha Shisui. Although he was a Chunin, this Uchiha clansman was only ten years old this year and was a well-known genius ninja of the Uchiha clan.

As for Shinichi's other teammate, his name is Might Guy. He is seventeen or eighteen years old, full of energy, and has only recently become a Jonin. He has also carried out a limited number of missions.

It's clear that Shinichi's team isn't the typical setup of one Jonin leading three young Genin.

When Minato assembled such a team during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he clearly didn't intend to raise Shinichi as an ordinary child.

During this period of World War III, a force with this configuration... could even play a certain role on the main battlefield.

When Shinichi learned that his teammates were these people, his expression froze.

It is known that in the future, Uchiha Shisui awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and Aburame Shimi and Might Guy both survived to the end.

So the question is, who was the person who helped Uchiha Shisui awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan...?

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

Chapter 48 Bonds!

Shinichi Hyuga, having learned the list of his teammates, didn't even have much time to worry about his future. Just the next day, he received a summons from Captain Shiki Aburame.

It wasn't that any important task had been assigned from above; it was simply that, with the team now formed, Aburame Shii, as the team leader, wanted the team members to meet and get to know each other first.

Aburame Shii is a very capable person. When Minato appointed her as the team leader, he also briefly explained to her what kind of mission this team would most likely be dispatched to.

The chances of them getting to the front lines are slim; their squad's most routine task is to assist in reconnaissance.

While reconnaissance missions can avoid large-scale battles on the main battlefield, they often involve facing elite enemy forces. These missions place high demands on the squad's composition, requiring high mobility, good reconnaissance capabilities, and outstanding combat effectiveness.

Minato Namikaze's decision to form such a team was well-thought-out, and to some extent he actually approved of the arrangements made by the Japanese team for Shinichi.

He, being a genius himself, understood very well that for a ninja like Shinichi, the label of "genin" was actually a constraint.

Now that you've become a Special Jonin, you need to accumulate ninja experience as soon as possible.

Aburame Shiki is one of his closest companions, and he doesn't carry the strong "Third Hokage label" over him. Furthermore, Aburame Shiki is a bug tamer with a wide sensory range, making him a difficult Jonin for enemies to deal with. With him leading the team, they can minimize the chances of encountering invincible foes.

Adding Uchiha Shisui to the team was also a well-thought-out decision by Minato, who hoped that the ninjas in this squad would become his main force in the future.

Shisui was an orphan with exceptional talent, becoming a Chunin at a young age. Minato had met Shisui and developed a strong liking for this gentle and mature ten-year-old boy.

Minato believed that a ninja like Shisui would be able to get along well with Shinichi Hyuga. The two were only five years apart in age, and with Shisui as a role model, Shinichi Hyuga would surely be guided by Shisui.

As for Might Guy, Minato valued his formidable taijutsu skills and his fiery enthusiasm. After all, he was a young Jonin from the village, and while his strength was enhanced, his personality should also be able to influence the young Shinichi.

Minato Namikaze put in a lot of effort to protect the Hyuga main family.

...

Konoha's Training Ground No. 1

As the team leader, Shiki Aburame arrived at the agreed location early, holding a file containing information about his team members and looking at it carefully.

Of these three team members, Shizuka Aburame was only somewhat familiar with Might Guy, the eternal rival of the genius Kakashi... Might Guy, the blue beast specializing in taijutsu, was actually quite famous in Konoha.

As for Uchiha Shisui, Aburame Shiki had only heard of his name, but had never met him.

Needless to say, Shinichi Hyuga was also someone I'd only heard of but never actually met, as was Shiki Aburame.

"A genius boy from the Uchiha clan, the 'treasure' of the Hyuga main family, and a wild, eccentric blue beast..."

"That Minato guy, he's putting so much pressure on me..."

Aburame Shiki noticed someone approaching and muttered a complaint under her breath, silently tucking the documents in her hand into her pocket.

Just looking at the information, Shiki Aburame already felt immense pressure.

He didn't know what kind of mission he would be carrying out in the future, but for him, leading three subordinates like these was undoubtedly an S-rank mission of difficulty...

"Captain Shimi Aburame?"

"Hello, I am Uchiha Shisui. Nice to meet you."
