Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

A powerful ninja only needs to flap his wings slightly, and it will be an insurmountable catastrophe for ordinary people.

Upon waking up in the morning, Shinichi, who was being led to the Hokage Building by Hiashi Hyuga, passed through a street that had been damaged by the disaster the previous night.

A somber atmosphere permeated the air; the usual hustle and bustle had vanished without a trace, and in some corners of the street, dried dark red blood clots could still be seen.

Some shops along the street have put up signs saying "Closed". The shopkeepers who used to greet Hyuga Hiashi warmly now look tired and numb, and their lifeless eyes are heartbreaking to see.

"..."

Shinichi Hyuga could clearly feel a desolate atmosphere enveloping him. On the way to the Hokage Building with Hiashi, Shinichi Hyuga kept his head slightly lowered and remained silent the whole way.

What you see today is nothing compared to what happened a few years ago.

"The world of ninjas is that cruel."

"That is why families exist, and villages exist."

"Shinichi, only when you become strong enough, only when your family is strong enough, only when your village is strong enough, can you protect those you truly care about."

"For Hinata's sake, strive to become stronger, Shinichi."

Seemingly sensing Shinichi's emotions, after crossing the disaster-stricken streets, Hiashi Hyuga stopped and looked back at the street they had already traversed. At the same time, he gently stroked Shinichi's head, seemingly trying to soothe Shinichi's emotions in this way.

"I understand, Father."

Shinichi nodded silently. He was already aware of the cruelty of the ninja world, but when this cruelty was truly laid out before him, it still touched his heart.

Hiashi nodded silently, and then the father and son walked towards the Hokage Building without saying another word.

...

The village was just hit by the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage last night, and now it is in a time of great turmoil.

After settling his wife and children, the Fourth Hokage returned to his post and immediately assigned ninjas to carry out disaster relief and rescue missions.

By this time, the evacuation and rescue work of the public had been basically completed, and the damage reports from various units had been successively submitted to the Fourth Generation Resident.

When Hiashi Hyuga brought Shinichi to the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi were meeting with Fugaku Uchiha.

Also present were Konoha's advisors F3, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Danzo Shimura. Naturally, they were also concerned about the chaos that had occurred the previous night and arrived at the office early to question the Fourth Hokage.

Not only the advisors of Konoha, but all the prominent ninjas in Konoha were summoned to this office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eldest son, who was the captain of the ANBU, the Jonin squad leader from the Nara clan, and many other figures were all present.

Minato Namikaze already knew the enemy's specific situation and had shared the intelligence with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, such a major incident occurred in Konoha Village, and the tailed beast caused such serious consequences in the village, so someone must be held responsible for it.

And this person, without a doubt, is from the Uchiha clan!

"Obito Uchiha is a member of your Uchiha clan, so this traitor is your responsibility to hunt him down!"

"Fugaku, you are the head of your clan. After what happened, you should understand why I prevented your clan from joining the battle last night!"

Inside the office, Danzo's voice drowned out everyone else's as he loudly questioned Uchiha Fugaku.

The two of them seemed to have met during yesterday's chaos. It appears that Danzo and his Root did not have time to join the battle against the Nine-Tails last night, but instead had the opportunity to restrain and supervise the Uchiha clan.

"Knock knock—"

The knocking of the guard ninja broke the tense atmosphere inside. With Minato's permission, the door opened, and Hyuga Hiashi led Shinichi into the office.

After bowing to the two Hokage, Hiashi didn't rush to explain his purpose. Instead, he led Shinichi aside, clearly indicating that he had no intention of competing with Fugaku for the "protagonist" position.

Everyone present silently glanced at Hiashi as he entered the office, and then their attention returned to Fugaku Uchiha.

The Sharingan in the eyes of the Nine-Tails, which wreaked havoc in Konoha, completely changed the perception of the Uchiha clan among all the ninjas in Konoha.

The grudges and feuds between Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage, Hashirama, are too distant now, and even today, ninjas know very little about the power of the Uchiha clan.

Even in the eyes of many young ninjas, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is the true "God of Shinobi," the strongest ninja since the founding of Konoha, and they do not have a clear understanding of the strong ninjas of that time.

However, after the chaos of last night, they realized that the Uchiha clan possessed the power to control the tailed beasts.

This point, which was previously "known," has become a reality presented to everyone, causing people to fear the power of the Uchiha while also becoming wary of the Uchiha clan.

Well... everyone's on the same level. Although you Uchiha are a bit stronger, your strength is still limited.

But now that the Uchiha clan has suddenly gained the ability to "flip the table," how will other clans interact with them?!

This is where the problem arises.

While questioning Fugaku, Danzo was also secretly considering how to eliminate the Uchiha threat.

The delicate balance of power within Konoha had been painstakingly maintained, but the sudden "growth" of the Uchiha clan gave Danzo a strange sense of urgency.

"Our Uchiha clan will thoroughly investigate the matter concerning Obito Uchiha."

"We are naturally duty-bound to apprehend the rogue ninja!"

"But... there are some things I need to make clear."

"We, the Uchiha clan, truly know nothing about Obito Uchiha's affairs, and we did not predict his actions."

"What happened last night has nothing to do with our Uchiha clan."

"Lord Danzo, please don't judge the Uchiha clan based on that kind of thing!"

Fugaku arrived early in the morning, not only to be questioned as expected, but also to explain the Uchiha clan's position to the Konoha leadership.

For the Uchiha clan, Obito's actions were like getting mud on their crotches—even if it wasn't excrement, it was still excrement.

Because of the special nature of the police force, the Uchiha clan was already not very popular in the village. If this matter were to escalate further, the Uchiha clan's situation in the village would only become more difficult.

The discontent among the clansmen had been growing for some time and had intensified over the years. Fugaku was now like sitting on a volcano that could erupt at any moment, and everything he did was done with extreme caution, as if walking on thin ice.

Danzo remained completely unmoved by Fugaku's explanation, his gloomy expression undiminished.

Seeing this, Fugaku knew that the other party had not listened, so he could only look at Hiruzen Sarutobi. However, seeing the latter's pensive expression, Fugaku's heart sank.

"Fugaku, we naturally understand that the Uchiha are members of Konoha."

"Don't worry, Obito's matter will absolutely not affect your Uchiha clan."

"I promise!"

Compared to the Third Hokage's silence, Minato Namikaze's words at this moment made Fugaku's eyes light up.

"The Yondaime..."

Seeing Minato's gentle smile, Fugaku finally felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

Or... there are still people who trust the Uchiha clan!
