Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

With Shii Aburame's comforting words, Hayata's emotions finally stabilized, and he began to tell the others about his daughter.

"My daughter went missing about two weeks ago."

"On the afternoon of the same day I sent the letter of denunciation to Konoha, after returning home, I did not see my daughter."

"At first, I didn't pay much attention, I just thought Hezi had gone out to play with her friends, but..."

"But when it was almost dinnertime and I still hadn't seen Hezi come home, I realized something had happened to him."

"After the incident, I asked the neighbors to help me search, but...but..."

"Please, if you're a ninja, you'll definitely have a way to help me, please!"

As he spoke, Hayato's emotions began to spiral out of control again, and tears streamed down his face. Despite being a man, the thought of his daughter's life hanging in the balance made it impossible for him to control his emotions.

"Missing..."

Disappearances...such things are common in these chaotic times.

It's highly likely she was abducted by human traffickers. After all, she's a girl, and Konoha Village often receives requests to find people like this.

However, the chances of completing such a mission are extremely slim. Once a kidnapper has abducted someone, they will not stay in the area. Even if you successfully hire a ninja and find some clues, finding the person is still like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, according to Hayato himself, if his daughter had been missing for half a month, any traces should have been washed away and covered up by time.

People who go missing like this...it's simply impossible to find them.

Although she had already reached a conclusion in her heart, Aburame Shiki did not want to continue to discourage her father who was crying his eyes out.

"Could you show us a picture of your daughter?"

"We will help keep an eye on your daughter during the mission."

Upon hearing this, Hayato immediately stood up, staggered to a bedroom, and returned a moment later with a photo album.

"This, this is my daughter, thank you, thank you!!!"

"If I can find it, I will definitely repay you properly!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Having heard Hayata say "thank you" countless times, Aburame Shii glanced at Hayata with some emotion before accepting the photo album he offered.

At the same time, Shinichi, Shisui, and Kai all looked at the photo in Shimi's hand.

They all knew the chances were slim, but seeing Hayato like this, even though they were strangers, they were still moved by his emotions and wanted to do their part if possible.

The photo album features a round-faced girl with pigtails and a bright smile. Although she is young and inexperienced, her appearance is beautiful and she can definitely be described as stunning.

Seeing Hayata's daughter's appearance, Aburame Shiki had even less hope.

Is beauty really a good thing for women?

At least, in this era, in this family, Zhiwei didn't think it was a good thing. Not only was she easily targeted, but she also lacked the ability to protect herself.

With a soft sigh, Yu Nu Zhiwei handed the photo back:

Tell me about the group of bandits you discovered.

"It might be related to your daughter's disappearance."

"After all, there are some coincidences in terms of timing."

Aburame asked against his will. He didn't actually think the two things were related. He was just using this method to gather information and comfort the other party.

"You're right! These two things must be related!"

"Those people let it slip themselves while they were eating at my restaurant!"

The specific situation is...

It turns out that Hayata's main job is as a restaurant owner. More than half a month ago, his restaurant hosted a group of out-of-towners who ate and dashed. Not only did they refuse to pay, they even threatened to kill Hayata if he bothered them.

This group seemed afraid that Hayabusa would be dismissive, so they even loudly proclaimed their outstanding "achievements" to exaggerate their strength.

After leaving, Hayata wrote a letter directly to Konoha Village.

The Leaf Village had sent people to investigate and verify beforehand, confirming the other party's identity, and then the task fell to the hands of the Zhiwei team.

It's not a very complicated task. The only difficulty is how to find out the other party's base location, and whether they are still in this city.

The village was short-handed, and the ninja who had initially scouted the area had already been dispatched to carry out other missions and was no longer tracking the group.

Listening to the whole thing, I only felt troubled.

The information provided by both the person in front of us and the village was incomplete and unhelpful.

He thought that all he needed to do after leaving the village was to have a good fight and then he could go back, but to his surprise, the village hadn't even managed to find any trace of the enemy.

Are we supposed to find the enemy ourselves?!

Hmm... who knows, maybe this is exactly why Minato assigned them this mission?

Intelligence gathering and reconnaissance come first, then combat. Perhaps this mission focuses on the first two aspects?

Although Shinichi roughly understands the significance of carrying out this mission, he still has no direction.

Finding a group of lurking bandits in such a big city is like finding a needle in a haystack!

"Captain Zhiwei, I don't think I have time to waste on this kind of thing."

"Please allow me to leave now."

"If we pinpoint the location of the bandit group, I will not be absent from the battle."

Shinichi Hyuga had roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter and no longer had the will to carry out such a mission.

His main concerns were Obito Uchiha and Madara Uchiha; for him, improving his combat power was the most important thing.

His purpose in leaving the village this time was to gain combat experience; he didn't want to waste his precious training time on such things.

More importantly, he didn't think any results could be obtained from the investigation in a short period of time.

As he spoke, Shinichi stood up, completely ignoring the bewildered Shimi Aburame, and walked towards the door.

"Hey, Shinichi?"

Aburame Shiki wanted to call out to Shinichi, but when she thought of what he had said, she swallowed the words back.

The Hyuga main family...

Yes, how can we let the Hyuga main family waste their time on something like this?!

"call....."

"Sorry, my team members are a bit impatient."

"Please don't mind it."

Aburame Shiki apologized to Hayato, then gestured to Might Guy with her eyes. The latter understood and immediately got up to chase after Shinichi.

...

"Although leaving like this doesn't show much team spirit, carrying out this kind of mission is simply a waste of my time."

"I'm wasting my time on things like this, even though there are formidable enemies like Obito and Madara lurking around."

"Really..."

Shinichi walked alone in the dimly lit alley after leaving Hayata's house, feeling somewhat agitated.

"Tap...tap..."

Just as Shinichi was about to return to his residence, he heard a faint sound of footsteps behind him.

Upon noticing the footsteps, Shinichi suddenly stopped, his expression darkening.

"Oh...."

"Looks like my luck is pretty good..."

Shinichi Hyuga slowly turned his head and just happened to see a dark burlap sack being brought over his head.
