Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

After seeing off the Third and Fourth Hokage and their spouses, Hiashi, leading Shinichi Hyuga back to the house, seemed to have some thoughts of teaching them.

After returning to the house, Hiashi did not let Shinichi leave, but instead said:

"Your behavior was quite proper when you first met the Third and Fourth Hokage. You are worthy of being my son, Hiashi Hyuga."

"Tell me, what are your thoughts and impressions of these two Hokage?"

The ability to read people is a crucial skill for ninjas. When on a mission, ninjas who can read people are often able to avoid more danger and have a higher survival rate.

Moreover, Shinichi was being groomed by the Japanese as their successor, making his ability to judge character even more crucial.

"We only met once, so the information we gathered was far too little."

Shinichi shook his head in reply. Before Hiashi could show any disappointment, Shinichi changed the subject and continued:

"However, you can also see some things."

"The Third Hokage appeared mature and amiable, but during the conversation, the Fourth Hokage's words and gaze were subtly focused on the Third Hokage."

"It's hard to believe that the Fourth Hokage is from Konoha Village; he looks more like a nephew or niece of the Third Hokage?"

"However, although the Fourth Hokage was respectful to the Third Hokage in every way, he was not without his own ideas."

"His promise to you, Father, before he left must have been the signal he was sending."

"Although I can't analyze their personalities, I think their relationship isn't as close as it appears."

Hiashi's original intention was simply to ask his son about his first impressions of the two Hokage, but he never expected to hear such words from Shinichi.

Staring blankly at Shinichi Hyuga, Hiashi's expression froze on his face.

After a long while, Hiashi Hyuga finally came to his senses, abruptly squatting down and grabbing Shinichi's arm, his emotions running high: "You just figured all of this out?!"

"Is there anything else?"

Hyuga Shinichi's ninja talent had already deeply impressed Hiashi, but not all talents are the same. Just like the current head of the Nara clan, Nara Shikaku has political wisdom far beyond ordinary people, but his ninjutsu talent is only average.

He never imagined that his exceptionally talented son would also be so perceptive in "judging people".

"Father, what else would you like to know?"

"If you ask me for my opinion on this whole matter, I think it's a rare opportunity for our Hyuga clan."

"Didn't the Fourth Hokage promise to help our Hyuga clan as much as possible?"

"In my opinion, we should take this opportunity to make some harmless requests and ask the Fourth Hokage for his help."

"In this way, our Hyuga family and the Fourth Hokage naturally established a good cooperative relationship, and our two families can visit each other more often in the future."

Upon hearing Shinichi's words, Hiashi's excitement subsided.

Well... a child is still a child. Although Shinichi has some ability to judge people, that's all he can do!

However, Hiashi felt no disappointment. Instead, he slowly straightened up, gently patted Shinichi's head, and "guided" him, saying, "You are indeed smart, but you still have a lot to learn!"

"To judge a person, look at their heart; to listen to what they say, listen to the underlying meaning."

"The Fourth Hokage said he would help the Hyuga clan as much as possible, but that was just empty talk."

"Even if the Fourth Hokage really does help us as much as he says, are we just going to waste such a precious opportunity like this?"

"Wouldn't it be better to ask for his help when our Hyuga clan really encounters some difficulties?"

Hiashi smiled and said to Shinichi Hyuga, secretly enjoying the pleasure of educating his son.

No matter who you are, everyone has a tendency to be a know-it-all. Some people in modern times like to "point fingers" even when they're driving or playing games. Hijikata is actually that kind of person, especially in front of his son.

"No, Father, if you understand it that way, then you are completely wrong."

Shinichi shook his head, clearly having a different opinion from Hiashi.

"Judging from how you and the Fourth Hokage addressed each other during the tea ceremony, the personal relationship between our Hyuga clan and the Fourth Hokage shouldn't be considered very deep."

"If you think that you can use the friendship gained from this protection mission to ask the Fourth Hokage for something if something big happens to our Hyuga clan in the future, you are being far too naive."

"We Hyuga are Konoha ninjas, and we should obey the Hokage's orders. In principle, it is only right that the Fourth Hokage does not make any promises, because in his eyes, carrying out orders is our 'duty'."

"The reason he said that was actually to try and improve the relationship between our Hyuga clan and him."

"In that case, let's go to the trouble of this. This 'mutually beneficial' exchange will allow our two families to have a deeper understanding, won't it?!"

Shinichi Hyuga gave a faint smile, and as he spoke, he slightly raised his head to look at Hiashi Hyuga. His confident and composed demeanor startled Hiashi Hyuga.

"Hmm... what you said... makes some sense..."

Although Shinichi Hyuga was young, after carefully considering what he said, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Yes... Based on this one encounter alone, it's impossible to say that the two families have established any deep friendship. If something really happens to the Hyuga family in the future, this relationship alone probably won't be of much use.

To deepen the relationship, a deeper bond is needed.

"But...Shinichi, while what you said makes some sense, our Hyuga clan lacks nothing right now. What kind of help do we need from the Fourth Hokage?"

"And this degree... is not easy to control!"

As he spoke, a thoughtful expression appeared on Hiashi's face. After a moment, he stared at Shinichi, as if he had thought of something, but the next moment, he shook his head and said with some regret:

"It's a pity... Our Hyuga clan's ninjas have our own way of growing up. Otherwise, asking the Fourth Hokage to take you as his disciple might be a good 'request'."

"Your talent is definitely on par with that of Kakashi Hatake."

"pity...."

At this point, Hiashi Hyuga's face was full of regret. And his words also made Shinichi Hyuga's face darken.

Hiashi Hyuga's words weren't entirely true; the biggest reason was actually the pride of the Hyuga clan.

As one of the most powerful bloodline limit clans in Konoha, the Hyuga main clan always trains its ninjas within the clan and looks down on other ninjas, even the Fourth Hokage.

This phenomenon is not unique to the Hyuga clan. The Uchiha, Nara, Akimichi, and other ninja clans may have teachers in their childhood, but in reality, all the ninjutsu they learn are secret techniques passed down through generations of their clans.

These ninja clan members almost never learn ninjutsu outside of their family's secret techniques.

Whether it's for the sake of so-called inheritance or for the sake of so-called family dignity, this model has bound many ninja clan members.

Although Shinichi Hyuga didn't have such thoughts, given his Hyuga background, his path to growth was still temporarily dictated by Hiashi.

Although he also wanted a Hokage teacher, it seemed the time wasn't right yet. Furthermore... if he couldn't prevent the Nine-Tails' attack in the future, even becoming the Fourth Hokage's student would offer limited benefits.

Fortunately, there was still time, and he had already figured out how to make use of the information he had gathered.

As for Hiashi Hyuga's current troubles... Shinichi also had a plan in mind:

"Father, may we request that the Fourth Hokage teach our Hyuga clan's Flying Lightning Technique?"

"I've heard that the Fourth Hokage's specialty is a space-time ninjutsu called Flying Thunder God Technique. I'm very interested in that technique, and if possible, I'd like to learn it."

"Space-time ninjutsu is very compatible with our Hyuga clan's ninjutsu and taijutsu, and can greatly enhance our strength."

Shinichi Hyuga shifted his gaze from Hiashi Hyuga, lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice.

Flying Thunder God!

For someone like him who is afraid of death, learning that technique would greatly increase his chances of survival in various future crises.

If things go as planned, Shinichi will definitely make good use of the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring "Minato Homecoming," one of the highest conceptual gods in Naruto, into this world!

"The Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"How could you... um..."

Hiashi was surprised that Shinichi, who never left his house, knew so much information about Minato Namikaze, but after a moment's thought, he understood.

With so many ninjas taking care of Shinichi, it's not surprising that someone mentioned Minato Namikaze.

Upon hearing that his son was interested in the Flying Thunder Mystic Technique, Hiashi stroked his chin and pondered.

"Flying Thunder God!"
