Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

The next morning, while it was still barely light, Shinichi Hyuga arrived early in front of the Hokage Building.

The Fourth Hokage hadn't "started work" yet, and the ninjas on duty didn't dare let Shinichi Hyuga stay in the Hokage's office without permission. Helpless, the two Chunin had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep Shinichi outside the door, making him wait in the open space in front of the building.

The match between Shinichi Hyuga and Kakashi yesterday has been circulating widely in the ninja community for a day and a night.

Shinichi Hyuga's name became known to Konoha ninjas by riding on the coattails of the genius ninja Kakashi. At the same time, his identity as a member of the Hyuga main family was naturally deeply intertwined with his name.

When Shinichi is mentioned, the first thing ninjas think of is, "Oh! That genius from the Hyuga clan!"

Although Shinichi Hyuga doesn't even have the "rank" of a genin now, the chunin guarding the Hokage Building still have to address him as "sir".

The ninjas' respect for him stemmed only partly from his strength; more so from his status as a member of the Hyuga main family.

Shinichi Hyuga was a man who knew the rules, so naturally he would not make things difficult for these ordinary ninjas who obeyed his orders.

This was his second time visiting this place. Since it was still early, Shinichi sat down under the shade of a tree in front of the building and carefully examined his surroundings.

Shinichi Hyuga had always been on edge, and over the years, he hadn't had a proper look at the village where he lived.

Hokage Building...

This is one of the "famous historical sites" that many time travelers need to visit, but before this, Shinichi had never properly explored it.

As dawn breaks, a cool breeze gently blows.

The chirping of insects and birds filled his ears. Listening to the white noise around him, Shinichi Hyuga leaned comfortably against the tree trunk, slowly closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.

Meditation has different effects on everyone. For Shinichi, it calms his mind and improves his concentration. For a long time after meditation, he doesn't experience mental fog.

Tranquil and peaceful.

As Shinichi Hyuga entered a meditative state, the subtle aura he exuded attracted the attention of some of the guarding ninjas.

Compared to ordinary children, Shinichi Hinata is far too special in both his behavior and his temperament.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Minato Namikaze, accompanied by his wife Kushina, arrived at "work." As soon as he entered the area, Minato immediately noticed Shinichi Hyuga, who was sitting under the shade of a tree, meditating with his eyes closed.

"This child..."

In Minato's eyes, Shinichi seemed to have become one with nature at this moment. A jay bird even flew down from a tree and landed on Shinichi's shoulder.

The sparrow preened its feathers with its beak, looking so relaxed that it seemed completely unaware that it had landed on a person's shoulder.

"If he were to cultivate immortal arts, with his aptitude, he would probably be able to easily pass through the second stage in no time."

Looking at Shinichi Hyuga's current state, Minato couldn't help but recall the time he spent training in Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku.

The first stage of cultivating immortal arts is to use toad oil to sense the existence of natural energy.

The second stage requires the practitioner to enter a near-absolute state of stillness and draw natural energy from the outside world.

Shinichi Hyuga's current meditative state is, in Minato's view, "almost absolutely forbidden," perfectly fulfilling one of the prerequisites for absorbing natural energy.

Even Minato himself had to undergo countless hours of practice to achieve complete stillness.

Children Shinichi Hinata's age are usually active and curious about everything around them, so it's impossible for them to be as "still" as Shinichi is now.

In response, Minato could only exclaim "genius" and had no better adjective to describe Shinichi.

"Minato, did that kid Shinichi really defeat Kakashi?"

"Did that idiot Kakashi underestimate his opponent?"

As Minato Namikaze stared at Shinichi Hyuga, Kushina, who was holding Minato's arm, also turned her gaze to Shinichi.

"There was some underestimation of his opponent, but... even if Kakashi goes all out, it won't be easy for him to beat that kid."

"In terms of taijutsu alone, he has surpassed many ordinary Jonin."

Minato Namikaze rated Hyuga Shinichi Jutsu's ability very highly, and his words surprised Kushina.

While a ninja's strength cannot be simply categorized using titles like "genin," "chunin," and "jonin," each level has a minimum requirement.

For Shinichi Hyuga to receive such high praise from Minato at his age speaks volumes about his strength.

"Wow, that's amazing..."

Kushina sighed softly, looking at Shinichi, and unconsciously rubbed her lower abdomen, which still showed no signs of pregnancy.

"I hope our children will also have such outstanding talent."

Kushina suddenly smiled expectantly, and Minato, upon hearing this, gently put his arm around Kushina's shoulder and smiled, "It will definitely happen. I believe my child will become an excellent ninja in the future."

Just as Minato and Kushina were talking, Shinichi Hyuga, who was in a meditative state, seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes.

Even though he was in a meditative state, Shinichi Hyuga could still sense that someone was watching him.

Seeing the Minato couple not far away, Shinichi Hyuga quickly stood up, brushed the weeds off his back, and then went to the Minato couple, politely greeting them:

"Good morning, Minato-nii and Kushina-neechan."

Taking advantage of his age, Shinichi Hyuga didn't need to worry about saying the wrong thing. At this time, he was also consciously trying to get closer to Minato and his wife.

As expected, upon hearing Shinichi address him by that name, Minato smiled gently and patted Shinichi's head lightly.

"Are you here so early?"

"What are your plans for today? Are you going to continue learning other techniques, or are you planning to delve into the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Minato was also concerned about Shinichi Hyuga's "learning progress," as he genuinely didn't want Shinichi to waste this precious opportunity.

"After taking your advice, Minato-nii, I carefully reviewed some scrolls on sealing techniques after I got back yesterday."

"Today, I want to see the Flying Thunder God Technique first."

Shinichi naturally understood Minato's implied meaning and replied with a smile.

Hearing the conversation between Minato and Shinichi, Kushina suddenly looked at Shinichi with some excitement and interjected:

"You want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"How about I teach you?"

Kushina's sudden interruption startled both Shinichi and Minato. Minato reacted first, gently tugging at Kushina's sleeve and saying with a hint of helplessness:

"Don't be silly, Kushina. Shinichi has his own study plan. If he encounters difficulties in the process, he will come and ask me."

"Don't make things worse..."

Minato also became famous at a young age and was also called a genius. He also trained excellent ninjas like Kakashi and knew best that these geniuses often had their own learning pace.

For these geniuses, teachers are more of a guide than a mentor.

Furthermore, Minato is certain that the Hyuga clan has a pre-existing plan for Shinichi's upbringing. Regardless of what the Hyuga clan says, it would be best for the couple not to interfere blindly.

However, Kushina didn't think that much. The reason she said that was partly because she genuinely liked Shinichi, a calm and composed boy.

At the same time, she also harbored the idea of ​​"sharing Minato's burdens." Don't let Kushina's carefree attitude fool you; she is actually very thoughtful.

Shinichi Hyuga is the son of Hiashi Hyuga. Establishing a deep relationship with this future leader of the Hyuga clan would also benefit Minato in exercising his rights as Hokage.

Of course, another point is that as a Jinchūriki, she was already idle, and this was even more so after she became pregnant. She didn't want to just be Minato's appendage and wanted to have something to do.

To master the Flying Thunder God Technique, one needs a profound foundation in sealing techniques.

Minato was able to fully master this technique thanks in part to her help.

Although Kushina herself couldn't use the Flying Thunder God Technique, she was very familiar with it and believed that teaching a little kid like Shinichi Hyuga would be no problem.

Teaching this child can, to some extent, bring me closer to the Hyuga family, and at the same time, it will prevent me, the surrogate mother, from being idle.

For the Minato couple, this was both a consideration for the present and a plan for the future.
