Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

As the crimson moonlight faded, and with Minato Namikaze, the Third Hokage, and their Anbu members departing one after another, only the elite members of the Hyuga clan remained in the forest.

Having just fought a monster like the Tailed Beast, the Hyuga clan ninjas collapsed to the ground, recovering their strength while feeling relieved to have survived such a monster.

Hiashi glanced back at his clansmen who were resting, and instead of rushing Shinichi to take them back to Konoha, he talked to Shinichi about his plans for Shinichi's future.

The way geniuses are cultivated in the ninja world is not quite what Shinichi imagined.

As the head of the main family, there is no doubt that he will be well protected by the Hyuga clan. However, this does not mean that the Hyuga clan will treat Shinichi like a hothouse flower, simply confining him to the clan grounds to practice ninjutsu and taijutsu.

Every powerful ninja grows up soaked in sweat and blood. Whether it's the Hyuga clan or the Uchiha clan, both major clans of Konoha, they all deeply understand this.

Itachi Uchiha displayed talent far exceeding that of his peers at a young age. The Third Shinobi World War was extremely brutal, and Konoha not only sent young ninjas to the battlefield, but its homeland was also attacked by the enemy.

As members of the Konoha Police Force, the Uchiha had actually joined the battlefield at a very early age. Around the time Itachi Uchiha was four years old, Fugaku Uchiha took advantage of a mission to bring Itachi to the battlefield.

Shinichi Hyuga and Itachi Uchiha were the same age. While Shinichi was still training in the clan compound, Itachi had already been on the battlefield.

Hiashi Hyuga had always been secretly comparing himself to the Uchiha. In his eyes, Shinichi was still immature a year ago, but now, having mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and being able to remain calm even under the threat of tailed beasts, Shinichi was qualified to step onto the battlefield.

Out of consideration for Shinichi's development, and also to compare him with the Uchiha, Hiashi also hoped that Shinichi would make a name for himself in the ninja world.

Using his recommendation privileges, Hiashi's first move was to make Shinichi a special Jonin.

While that Uchiha kid was still wasting his time at the Ninja Academy, the Hyuga clan made their son a Special Jonin. In terms of reputation, they were already "far ahead"!

Of course, Hiashi also valued Shinichi's own thoughts. When he said these words, he was actually discussing with Shinichi to see what Shinichi's opinions and thoughts were on this matter.

"Should I become a Special Jonin?"

"Is this really possible?"

"Come to think of it, I'm not even a genin, am I?"

"And does becoming a ninja and carrying out missions for the village mean I won't have much time for training?"

Shinichi wasn't particularly opposed to becoming a Special Jonin; his only concern was that it would reduce his training time.

As a ninja, he naturally understood the importance of accumulating combat experience, but at the same time, Shinichi did not feel that he needed to improve his strength in this way at this stage.

He still has a lot to learn, and at this age, he is in the prime of his physical development, so the benefits of training are undoubtedly enormous, and there is no need to rush.

Unlike Japan, he doesn't actually have a strong competitive spirit.

He simply wants to take things one step at a time and steadily move forward.

"Hmm... Shinichi, you underestimate yourself a bit."

"Or rather, you underestimated the power of the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"Special Jonin are different from regular Jonin. To become a special Jonin, one must possess a special skill that is difficult for others to match."

"With your mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Byakugan, and with my recommendation, becoming a Special Jonin is a certainty!"

"Even if you're not even a genin right now, it doesn't matter."

"Once you become a special Jonin, you don't really need to worry too much about missions taking up your training time."

"Our Hyuga main family will not go to the battlefield unless absolutely necessary. Unless it is voluntary, no one can force you to do a mission you don't want to do."

"The reason I made you a special Jonin is so that when a suitable mission comes up in the village, you can be naturally assigned to it."

"Of course, I will discuss and weigh the difficulty of the mission with you, ensuring your safety while also giving you a certain amount of challenge."

"The primary purpose is to test you."

Hiashi Hyuga had a wonderful idea: Shinichi, with his special Jonin status, was qualified to participate in all missions in the village, from E-rank to S-rank.

Hiashi Hyuga plans to select suitable missions for Shinichi to undergo trials based on his strength and experience at different times.

Being born into the Hyuga main family also gives them this right to choose, and if necessary, they can even refuse the Hokage's assignment.

For ordinary ninjas, every mission is a test of life and death. Even during wartime, many missions are certain death for ordinary ninjas.

However, for the Hyuga main family, Konoha's mission system is just a testing ground. They go there to hone their skills and gain experience in low-risk missions, while avoiding high-risk ones.

This can actually be seen from the Team 8 led by Kurenai in the future. With Hinata Hyuga in Team 8, there were almost no missions with a high degree of danger, even though Hinata had been abandoned by Hiashi Hyuga at that time.

Even the person in charge of the shift, Ren Hong, was able to fall in love and get pregnant.

This is completely different from Kakashi, who spent several months in the hospital after going on a few missions, and also vastly different from Asuma, who died on the front lines.

Later, when Hinata and Naruto went on a mission together to track Sasuke, it was already a large group operation. However, at that time, Hinata even needed someone to remind her to use her Byakugan, which shows how lacking she was in combat experience. This is a drawback caused by being overprotected.

Shinichi listened carefully to Hiashi Hyuga's explanation, and after a brief moment of thought, he nodded silently.

If becoming a special Jonin doesn't mean he'll waste his training time by being forced to take on missions by Konoha, then that's not unacceptable.

If there are suitable missions for him to practice on and opportunities to fight against different people, Shinichi would naturally be willing to accept them.

"Thank you, Father."

"Please take care of recommending me for the position of Special Jonin."

Shinichi bowed slightly to Hiashi Hyuga, showing utmost respect in front of so many clansmen.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"That's because you're good enough!"

Hiashi chuckled and patted Shinichi on the head.

After the Hyuga clan members had rested, Shinichi used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring everyone back to the clan's territory.

After arriving home, Rizu gave a few instructions to his clansmen and then dismissed them.

That night, Shinichi was able to sleep peacefully after returning home, but the calamity brought by the Nine-Tails still affected many villagers.

Konoha Hospital was also overcrowded, and it's unknown how many families were unable to get a good night's sleep.
