Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

After returning to the village, Shinichi Hyuga resumed his arduous training. During the few days he was away on missions, Shinichi Hyuga felt a strong sense of anxiety.

The thought of a powerful enemy lurking outside, while he was wasting his time on a mission that seemed to have no beginning or end, filled Shinichi with frustration.

His understanding of the world is far deeper than that of others. He is not afraid of the appearance of powerful enemies; what he fears is that when powerful enemies appear, he will not have the strength to deal with them.

The reason why Shinichi is training so hard now is so that when a powerful enemy comes one day, he will not regret his laziness in ordinary times.

He would do everything in his power to improve himself, and even if he were killed by the enemy in a future war, Shinichi would not regret it.

I've tried my best, and that's enough...

Training Ground No. 3 in Konoha Village.

Shinichi Hyuga and Might Guy are sparring together.

If there's any improvement Shinichi experienced after forming a team, it's that his opponents during his training sessions changed.

In the Hyuga clan, sparring partners are often members of the Hyuga clan themselves. The clan members' taijutsu is based on Gentle Fist. Even though Shinichi's opponents keep changing, their fighting styles are actually similar and predictable.

However, since meeting Might Guy, Shinichi's opponents have changed.

Might Guy is a typical "powerful fist" fighter, with wide and powerful moves. Every attack is full of force. Although he restrained his strength when fighting Shinichi, his techniques are completely different from Hyuga's taijutsu. Fighting Guy gave Shinichi a sense of novelty.

Guy's taijutsu is among the best in Konoha. Even including clans like the Hyuga with bloodline limits, there are very few ninjas whose taijutsu can surpass Guy's.

During his battle with Guy, Shinichi was also learning some of Guy's fighting strategies.

"Bang!!"

A muffled thud echoed in the training ground. Kai suddenly lunged forward and landed in front of Shinichi, delivering a low kick to Shinichi's shin. As Shinichi lost his balance, Kai swiftly reached out and chopped down at Shinichi's waist and abdomen.

Just as he was about to be struck in the waist and abdomen by Kai's hand chop, Shinichi quickly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and left the spot.

The moment his figure appeared on the ground a few meters away, the force of Kai's leg swing also affected Shinichi, causing him to roll several times on the lawn before he could finally stop.

Shinichi was covered in dust and weeds, making him look somewhat disheveled. As he quickly got up, Kai, who was not far away, showed no intention of giving chase. He stood up, waved to Shinichi, and signaled him to continue.

During his sparring session with Kai, Shinichi did not use Gentle Fist. His purpose in sparring with Kai was not to defeat him or prove that he was stronger than Kai. The purpose of the sparring was to train his body and develop muscle memory for danger through constant combat. At the same time, he also wanted to familiarize himself with the use of the Flying Thunder God Technique during the battle.

Therefore, pain is necessary!

Sensing danger, dodging, counterattacking, and using the Flying Thunder God Technique—once all of these become part of the body's memory, even when facing Obito Uchiha's attack, the body often takes precedence over the brain, issuing the first action command.

On the open ground beside the battlefield, Uchiha Shisui and Aburame Shiki sat cross-legged on the grass, watching Shinichi and Guy fight in the arena. There were even some pastries and tea placed in front of them.

Since that mission failure, their team had not been assigned any new missions for nearly a month.

Shiki Aburame and Guy are both Jonin, while Shisui is a Chunin. Against the backdrop of the Third Shinobi World War, the three of them were originally very busy. They spent almost half of the year on missions, with a small portion of the time spent at home or in the hospital recuperating.

However, after becoming teammates with Shinichi, they have finally gained this rare leisure time.

The squad has already been formed, and a ninja will not be temporarily dispatched to join another squad to carry out a mission unless absolutely necessary.

The group didn't become estranged despite not having any missions. Shinichi often asked Kai and Shisui to spar, and over the course of nearly a month, they spent almost every day together, becoming very familiar with each other's abilities through combat.

"Shinichi really has boundless energy!"

"He's been fighting Kai for so long, and he doesn't seem tired at all."

"This guy is really working hard!"

In a corner of the training ground, Aburame Shiki took a sip of her tea and looked at the two people fighting in the center of the battlefield, and couldn't help but sigh.

It is common sense that a ninja's physical abilities are far beyond those of ordinary people, but for Shinichi to have such physical abilities at his age is already against common sense.

Shinichi's battery life far surpasses that of Shisui and him.

In the squad, only Kai was able to play with him for such a long time.

"I'm afraid no one but us knows how much effort and sweat those who bear the title of genius have put in behind the scenes."

Shisui looked at Shinichi Hyuga in the arena, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.

Having spent so much time together, he also regarded the young Shinichi as a younger brother. Shinichi's diligence did not make Shisui feel that Shinichi was particularly outstanding, but only made him feel that Shinichi was under too much pressure.

Shisui believed that Shinichi's pressure came from his "genius title" and "the glory of the Hyuga family," unaware that Shinichi's efforts stemmed from his desire to live.

"You reap what you sow; isn't learning that skill the best proof of that?"

As if to confirm what Shiki Aburame had said, Shinichi Hyuga quickly distanced himself after exchanging more than ten blows with Guy. As Shinichi clenched his fists and stood still, a powerful chakra rose around him.

"Eight Gates Formation - Open!"

The chakra formed a small whirlwind centered on Shinichi Hyuga and spread outwards. With a low growl, Shinichi's figure quickly turned into a blur and disappeared from everyone's sight.

When Might Guy saw Shinichi unleash the Eight Gates, he seemed to have anticipated it. He stretched his body, unleashed his full power, and engaged Shinichi in battle.

Eight Gates Formation!

This is one of the results of Shinichi Hyuga's nearly one month of training.

After reading about sealing techniques, Shinichi had this technique memorized. As his relationship with Guy grew closer, Shinichi told Guy that he wanted to learn this technique.

Kai is a warm-hearted person, and since Shinichi already knows about this technique, he naturally doesn't need to have any worries. He tells Shinichi his understanding of the technique and begins to assist Shinichi in his training.

The essence of the Eight Gates is to open several special chakra points, thereby freeing the body from its own limitations.

Shinichi, who was born in Hyuga, learned this secret technique without any hindrance, and the strength of his body far exceeded Shinichi's own imagination.

In just over a month, he had already completed the opening of the door and was able to remove the brain domain restrictions.

As for the remaining gates, Shinichi felt he could open them, but Might Guy thought that opening gates beyond the Rest Gate at his age might deplete his physical potential and strongly opposed it.

To take responsibility for his future, Shinichi currently only uses the opening of the Eight Gates as his regular fighting method.
