Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

In Konoha Village, a trial is underway at the Hyuga clan's dojo.

In the center of the dojo, five-year-old Shinichi Hyuga let out a soft sigh of relief and then assumed a Gentle Fist stance. His azure eyes quietly gazed at Hiashi Hyuga, who stood before him with his hands at his sides, and he uttered a soft shout:

"Eye roll!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shinichi Hyuga's eyes bulged with veins, and the scene he saw underwent a dramatic change.

"Although this is not the first time I've seen you use your Byakugan ability, it still surprises and pleases me no matter how many times I see it."

"You really are a genius, Shinichi!"

Seeing Shinichi Hyuga skillfully use the Byakugan bloodstains, Hiashi Hyuga, as his father, couldn't help but chuckle, praising him and showing a deep joy on his face.

As the head of the Hyuga clan, a powerful family in Konoha Village known for its ocular jutsu, Hiashi Hyuga had already reached the pinnacle of his life. Whether it was reputation, status, or strength, there wasn't much more for him to pursue in his position.

To ensure the continuation of the Hyuga main family line and cultivate outstanding successors will be the most important thing for him in the second half of his life.

And this most important task for the Hyuga main family was largely accomplished with the birth of Shinichi Hyuga.

As the eldest son of Hyuga Hiashi, Shinichi Hyuga, who was only five years old, displayed a ninja talent that made everyone in the Hyuga clan realize what a "genius" really meant.

Seeing the pride and expectation in his father's eyes, Shinichi Hyuga sighed silently in his heart.

The Hyuga clan's vision... is far too narrow.

Even someone of his caliber was hailed as a genius and regarded by the family as the hope to lead the Hyuga clan to its peak.

He was not originally from this world. His appearance in this world was purely a trick of fate. He never expected that he would wake up in the Naruto world after just taking a nap while working overtime, and be reborn into the Hyuga family as the son of Hyuga Hiashi.

Unlike many other time travelers, Shinichi not only has both parents, but just a few days ago, his adoptive mother was also found to be three weeks pregnant. If nothing unexpected happens, he will have a younger brother or sister in a while.

Now, he, who was all alone in his previous life, now has a huge family. However, life in such a large family is not necessarily much easier than when he was alone.

He was no longer lonely, but his life had long been fully arranged by Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan. Especially after he accidentally awakened his Byakugan when he was a little over one year old, the Hyuga clan made Shinichi's education their top priority.

With the soul of an adult, Shinichi Hyuga inevitably possesses a comprehension ability far exceeding that of his peers. When he studies diligently, his growth rate naturally far surpasses that of ordinary children.

Of course, more importantly, this newborn body seems to be very well-suited to the various taijutsu techniques of the Hyuga clan.

However, knowing full well the limits of combat power in this world, Shinichi Hyuga never took his rapid growth rate seriously. Geniuses… this world has no shortage of geniuses. Ordinary ninjas have their limits; even someone from the Hyuga clan, no matter how outstanding, could possibly reach such a level!

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, let alone hoping to reach the pinnacle of a commoner ninja like Minato, becoming a ninja like Jiraiya or Orochimaru would be a cause for celebration.

Moreover, it is highly likely that this is just wishful thinking. Shinichi probably thinks that after he grows up, he will only be slightly better than Hiashi. A ninja of this level will have a hard time even protecting himself in the future world.

However, in the eyes of the Hyuga family, he became a super genius on whom great hopes were placed, and the most suitable person in hundreds of years to inherit the main family's bloodline.

"Bagua • Empty Palm!"

In the center of the dojo, Shinichi Hyuga unleashed a palm strike from mid-air, sending a high-density chakra directly towards Hiashi Hyuga in front of him.

The force of the palm strike generated gusts of wind, causing many members of the branch families watching to involuntarily raise their arms to shield their faces.

Although the invisible and intangible palm force was difficult for others to detect, Shinichi Hyuga's opponent was Hiashi Hyuga, who also possessed the Byakugan bloodline limit.

"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm?"

"I never taught you this, when did you...?"

Hiashi Hyuga activated his Byakugan, dodging to the side while involuntarily asking in surprise. When he turned to look at Shinichi, Shinichi had already rushed in front of Hiashi.

"Isn't an empty palm technique just a variation of soft fist?"

"You can learn this level of skill after seeing it once."

Shinichi Hyuga remained calm as he answered his adoptive father's question, while simultaneously making a sword-finger gesture with his right hand and thrusting it towards the Ki-chō acupoint in Hiashi's abdomen.

Gentle Fist is a ninjutsu technique used by the Hyuga clan in conjunction with the Byakugan bloodline limit. Its essence lies in mastering chakra transformation and then using finger strikes to inject one's own chakra into the opponent's body, damaging or blocking the enemy's chakra meridians.

The body's meridians are hidden beneath the skin and are invisible to the naked eye. However, through the Byakugan bloodline limit, one can see the body's meridians clearly. The Gentle Fist, which evolved to complement the Byakugan's abilities, is one of the fundamental secret techniques that has allowed the Hyuga clan to survive in the ninja world.

As early as when Shinichi Hyuga had just become proficient at walking after awakening his Sharingan, he had already begun practicing Gentle Fist. He easily mastered the technique of projecting chakra with his fingertips in just one month. After memorizing the acupoints around the human body, he was considered to have learned Gentle Fist.

As for Bagua Kongzhang, although it is a high-level application of soft fist, it is not difficult for Shinichi to master this level of technique.

"boom!!"

He slammed his bare hand into the wall behind Hiashi, creating a shallow crater. It was impressive, but still lacked power.

Of course, an attack that can leave a mark on an earthen wall will definitely not be pleasant to the person who is hit.

Hiashi noticed the shallow crater created by Shinichi's Bagua Empty Palm strike, and his eyes lit up with even more delight.

Parents are naturally happy when their children are outstanding. Moreover, Shinichi Hyuga's excellence can help him solidify his position as clan leader, and the outstanding children of the main family can also enhance the cohesion of the clan.

As Hiashi raised his hand to block Shinichi's attack, he struck Shinichi's chest with a backhand. Due to the huge height difference between the two, Hiashi's center of gravity was too low when he counterattacked Shinichi, and Shinichi seized the opportunity to exploit this opening.

Shinichi suddenly pressed his hands down on Hiashi's wrists, using the opponent's strength to leap into the air, and kicked Hiashi in the temple. Although Hiashi reacted in time and blocked the kick, Shinichi had already seized the initiative and launched a fierce attack on Hiashi's lower body after landing back on the ground.

Shinichi Hyuga's footwork was fluid and coordinated. He had already mastered a series of basic footwork techniques, such as tiptoeing, leaping, and dodging. His fists were numerous, with punches, thrusts, and sweeping punches all aimed at vital points. He unleashed more than ten moves in one go, and surprisingly, he subtly suppressed Hiashi Hyuga, forcing Hiashi to retreat several steps.

Shinichi Hyuga's fierce attacks drew gasps of amazement from the members of the various branches of the branch family present. However, amidst their amazement, a hint of doubt also appeared in their eyes.

Undoubtedly, in terms of taijutsu alone, Shinichi Hyuga's strength far exceeded their expectations. However, watching Shinichi's fierce attacks, they couldn't find much trace of Gentle Fist in him...

"Shinichi's talent and strength are beyond doubt, but..."

"Did Shinichi really practice Gentle Fist?"

"This... Lord Hizashi, what's going on?"

Shinichi and Hiashi continued their sparring match on the field, while the branch family members watching from the sidelines were already buzzing with discussion. The branch family members also asked Hyuga Hizashi about their doubts. Although everyone present except for Hiashi and his son were from the branch family, there were still differences in their relationships.

Hyuga Hizashi was Hyuga Hiashi's twin brother, and his understanding of the main family father and son was always deeper than that of others.

"You'll understand if you just roll your eyes at it."

Hyuga Hizashi watched Hyuga Shinichi's rapid attacks in the arena with admiration in his eyes, and when asked by his clansmen, he simply gave a nonchalant reply.

At present, the relationship between Hizashi and Hiashi has not been severely damaged. The bond of kinship prevails over the occasional resentment in Hizashi's heart. His own son, Hyuga Neji, has just been born and is not even a year old. Therefore, Hizashi is still able to view his talented nephew, Shinichi, objectively.

Upon hearing Hizashi's words, representatives from each branch of the family used their Byakugan, and with the help of their bloodline limits, they finally saw through the clues.

"What...what is that?!"

"How is this possible? He's so young, how could he do that?"
