Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and the promised time for Shinichi Hyuga to peruse the Book of Seals also ended that evening.

Although Shinichi Hyuga was given very little time, his gains were undoubtedly enormous. With his excellent memory, he copied most of the contents of the Book of Seals, which became part of the Hyuga family's private collection.

"Starting tomorrow, I will formally teach you sealing techniques."

"With your aptitude, you should learn it quickly. I think you'll be able to try practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique in at most half a month."

In the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze put away the newly rolled-up Scroll of Seals. Kushina, sitting next to Shinichi Hyuga, spoke confidently to him.

During this week, Shinichi Hyuga, under Kushina's guidance, gradually learned some basic knowledge of sealing techniques, and also tried to activate some complete seals that had already been drawn.

The whole process went very smoothly, which indirectly proved his talent in this area.

However, learning sealing techniques is not that simple. Activating a complete sealing technique is only the simplest step. The difficulty lies in drawing the sealing technique yourself.

To master the Flying Thunder God Technique, one must have a foundation in this area, because the principle of the Flying Thunder God Technique is that the user marks certain objects first, and then performs a spatial jump to reach the pre-marked location.

The effect of this technique is not as invincible as imagined. Enemies who know the principle of Flying Thunder God can take precautions in advance against those locations marked with the Flying Thunder God mark.

In a battle between experts, the Flying Thunder God Technique might not bring much benefit to the caster. On the contrary, because of this characteristic, it might be used against them by the enemy.

Minato Namikaze once encountered the Abby brothers from Kumogakure on the battlefield of the Third Shinobi World War, and was once countered by Killer Bee when he attacked him.

As Minato pressed a kunai against Killer Bee's head, Killer Bee also pressed his sword against Minato's chest.

If they don't stop, the outcome is still uncertain.

This was Minato, who was extremely skilled in using the Flying Thunder God Technique. If one's mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique is not proficient enough, the speed of spatial jumps will not be as fast as Minato's, and the flaws exposed will only be greater.

Even so, Shinichi Hyuga desperately needed this technique. Even if it wasn't used in battle, it would still be excellent as a ninjutsu for escaping.

Flying Thunder God is far superior to reverse psychic communication, since one relies entirely on one's own subjective will, while the other requires tacit understanding and communication.

For the fleeting opportunities on the future battlefield, the Flying Thunder God Technique could undoubtedly give Shinichi many more lives.

"Kushina-sensei, I'll leave the rest to you."

Shinichi Hyuga rose from the sofa and bowed slightly to Kushina with a hint of solemnity. Although he had become quite familiar with Kushina and Minato over the past few days, Shinichi had always maintained basic courtesy.

"Shinichi, what's the Hyuga clan's plan for you?"

"How much time do you have each day to practice sealing techniques?"

Kushina was quite serious about teaching Shinichi; she wasn't just putting on an act. As the only remaining member of the Uzumaki clan in Konoha, Kushina felt obligated to pass on the clan's sealing techniques.

She had always had a good impression of Shinichi, and seeing his talent, she planned to teach him wholeheartedly.

Speaking of teaching students...

Ever since the incident involving those two kids from Minato's team, Minato Namikaze has never led a genin again. Kushina actually misses those days a bit.

Although she was the "teacher's wife" of those children, Kushina also put in some effort.

When Minato was training Kakashi and the others, she, as their "master's wife," often made lunchboxes for the children.

Looking at Shinichi in front of her, Kushina couldn't help but feel a little dazed, thinking of Minato and his two students who had sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.

"I had already informed the clan beforehand."

"Kushina-neechan, you're pregnant, so you need to make sure you get enough sleep."

"I spend my mornings at home practicing taijutsu, condensing chakra, and teaching myself some simple techniques."

"I will come after 2:30 PM to trouble you to teach me sealing techniques."

"As for when it will end, that's up to you."

Shinichi Hyuga replied with a smile that it took him a lot of effort to persuade Hiashi Hyuga to let him study under Kushina.

Even so, Hiashi was already very dissatisfied. According to Hiashi, he wanted to invite Kushina to the Hyuga clan's territory to teach Shinichi.

The Japanese team is very concerned about Shinichi's safety.

Kushina was, after all, a Jinchūriki. Although nothing unexpected had ever happened to her, who could guarantee that such a thing wouldn't happen?

If it were on Hyuga clan territory, there would be many Hyuga clan elites present if anything happened.

However... in other places, if an accident occurs, it would be too late.

However, Shinichi's attitude was firm, and Hiashi, who doted on his son, had no choice but to compromise. But out of concern for his son's safety, he also planned to send some bodyguards to protect Shinichi.

Shinichi didn't hide this from Minato and Kushina.

Upon hearing this, Kushina's initially excited expression dimmed for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

Jinchūriki...

This identity is a thorn in Kushina's side. Although Minato has healed her a lot, it is still difficult for Kushina to remain calm when it is brought up.

However, Minato's reaction was somewhat different. He gently patted his wife's shoulder to comfort her, and then smiled and said to Shinichi:

"I still have to thank Japan for sending this."

"I feel more at ease if Kushina has Hyuga clan ninjas protecting her in her daily life."

Minato's words came from the bottom of his heart. Although he was the Fourth Hokage, his power was ultimately limited, and the number of Anbu members he could command was also quite limited.

The current commander of the Anbu is the eldest son of the Third Hokage. The Hokage is directly under the Anbu, and the Anbu is largely dependent on Hiruzen Sarutobi's approval.

For such a significant task as protecting a Jinchūriki, Minato could only send the young Kakashi to handle it.

Although the Hyuga clan increased the number of guards for Shinichi's safety, weren't these elites also protecting Kushina?

After briefly finalizing the subsequent study plan, it was getting late, and Shinichi got up to say goodbye and leave. He then returned to the clan's territory with Hiashi Hyuga, who was already waiting downstairs.

Minato stood by the office window, looking down at Hyuga Hiashi, whom he personally picked up and dropped off, and gained a completely new understanding of Shinichi's status in the Hyuga clan.

The Hyuga family's emphasis on successors was even greater than he had imagined.

"The Hyuga clan..."

Minato watched the Hyuga clan members depart into the distance, silently reciting something to himself, his expression deep and thoughtful.

...

After returning to the clan's territory with Hiashi, Shinichi enjoyed a short but heartwarming "parent-child time" during dinner.

However, soon after the meal, Shinichi was summoned to the dojo by Hiashi Hyuga.

Upon arriving at the dojo, it wasn't the "evening training" Shinichi had anticipated. Instead, Hiashi arranged guards for Shinichi and introduced him to three members of his clan.

"Shinichi, from today onwards, these few will be your bodyguard ninjas."

"This is Hyuga Keisuke, thirty-two years old this year. He is proficient in Gentle Fist and has outstanding strength. He is one of the top masters in the branch family."

Hiashi Hyuga pointed to a square-faced, burly man and introduced him to Shinichi.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hyuga Keisuke knelt down halfway towards Hyuga Shinichi. While bowing, Hyuga Keisuke looked up and scrutinized Shinichi with a look of intense scrutiny in his eyes.

"This is Hyuga Mio, 27 years old, a special Jonin. When she was with Kushina, Mio served her. They are both women, so there shouldn't be any problem."

This is a young woman, slender, with a dignified and beautiful appearance. She has a cold and serious demeanor, exuding an aura that keeps strangers at bay.

After Hiashi finished his introduction, Hyuga Mio lowered her head and knelt on the ground, her face expressionless.

"This is Hyuga Kazutaka, 22 years old. His strength is so-so, but he is reliable and keeps his mouth shut."

When Hinata Kazutaka was mentioned, the thin young man immediately knelt down and bowed, his body even trembling slightly.

Seeing Hinata Kazutaka's expression, Shinichi thought he was scared and was about to make a joke to ease the tension when Hinata Kazutaka raised his head and looked at Shinichi with eyes full of admiration and fervor.

"..."

Seeing him like this, Shinichi swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He knew that he had misunderstood.

"Those three, and then your personal guards, will follow you when you are outside the clan's territory."

"Shinichi, you need to get along well with them."

Hearing Hiashi's words and looking at the clansmen kneeling on the ground with different expressions, Shinichi's face also showed a warm smile. He helped them up one by one, and then his gaze fell on Hyuga Keisuke.

"Your father said you are very capable."

"Is he a top-tier expert from a branch family?"

"Perfect... practice your hand-to-hand combat skills with me!"
