Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

In the darkness of night, a loud bang in the center of Konoha Village startled countless sleeping villagers.

In the bedroom, Minato Namikaze, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly got up, rushed to the window, lifted the curtains, and looked in the direction of the flashing white light.

Even after becoming Hokage, Minato's qualities as a ninja remained unchanged, and he was awakened the moment the incident occurred.

On a small extension bed beside the bed, young Naruto was fast asleep. Even such a loud noise couldn't wake him; it only made him turn over.

On the other side, Kushina also noticed something, sat up and leaned against the headboard, her brows furrowing slightly as she said:

"It's Shinichi's chakra! Something's happened to the Hyuga clan!"

As a member of the Uzumaki clan, Kushina not only possessed an exceptionally large amount of chakra, but also had outstanding sensory abilities. In just a few breaths, she had already sensed who the owner of that explosive and powerful chakra was.

Shinichi Hyuga and Kushina's relationship can be considered that of master and disciple. Although Kushina only taught Shinichi the Flying Thunder God Technique and some sealing techniques, the Hyuga clan officially sent her tuition fees, and the Hyuga clan also contributed greatly to Naruto's matter.

Over the years, the two families have maintained a harmonious relationship. Even during the sensitive period following the Nine-Tails' attack, Kushina and Hanako communicated frequently. The two women, both with children, had long since become best friends who could talk about anything, and they would meet up for tea and shopping every few days.

Now that she sensed the unusual situation at the Hyuga clan, Kushina's face showed a hint of anxiety.

She was naturally aware that Hiashi Hyuga had led the Hyuga clan's elite troops to the battlefield. At such a time, if anything happened to the Hyuga clan, it would definitely be a bad sign for Minato.

As Hokage, Minato had the duty to protect everyone in the village. As a major clan in Konoha, if someone were to harm the Hyuga clan while the clan leader was away, and Minato, as Hokage, did nothing, it could very well cause a rift in the close relationship between the two clans.

While concerned for Hyuga's safety, Kushina was also able to consider Minato's feelings from the perspective of a Hokage's wife.

While Kushina was speaking, Minato had already slowly crouched down by the window, pointing a finger at the ground to sense the Hyuga clan's chakra fluctuations. After a moment, Minato's expression softened, and he gently comforted her:

"Although it was Shinichi's chakra fluctuation, Shinichi is fine."

"Kushina, you stay home and take care of Naruto. I'm going to check on the Hyuga clan."

"Be careful, the enemy's target might not be Hyuga."

Minato came to the bedside, gently put his arm around Kushina's shoulder, and softly gave her his advice. After what happened with Obito, Minato had become more cautious in his actions. Having learned his lesson once from the trap of luring someone away from their prey, Minato didn't want to fall into the same trap twice.

"Don't worry, things are different now. I'm not some delicate, fragile woman!"

Kushina replied with a smile, patting her slightly bulging biceps as she spoke. Her lively appearance made Minato chuckle, and then she disappeared into the bedroom.

Minato was reassured about Kushina. As long as she wasn't weakened by childbirth, Kushina was quite strong, and even if something unexpected happened, she would be strong enough to hold on until he returned.

In fact, in Minato's mind, there were only a handful of ninjas in the entire ninja world who were capable of threatening Kushina in her prime.

...

That night, Minato Namikaze wasn't the only one who sensed the movement of the Hyuga clan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with many skilled members of the Uchiha clan and some skilled members of various ninja clans in Konoha, were all able to sense the unusual changes in the direction of the Hyuga clan.

The Hokage's direct ANBU also sprang into action, rushing towards the direction from which the outbreak had occurred. Dark shadows flickered on the rooftops of residential houses, and almost all of Konoha's ninjas were mobilized.

Such a commotion in the heart of Konoha would make even the most oblivious ninja realize that something big had happened.

However, as these ninjas approached the Hyuga clan's territory, they were soon intercepted and warned by Hyuga clan ninjas.

On the long corridor in front of the Hyuga dojo, Shinichi leaned against a pillar, quietly sensing the approaching ninjas. Beside him, Hyuga Shin, who had already been awakened, had arrived and was directing the Hyuga clan ninjas to set up a cordon outside the clan's territory.

Shinichi had already briefly explained the situation to Hyuga Shin. Upon hearing that the enemy was actually a Kirigakure ninja, the experienced clan elder immediately defined the incident as an assassination attempt by a rival ninja village against the Hyuga clan.

To prevent spies from taking advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the Hyuga clan again, the branch family's top ninjas who came to provide support were also dispatched to prevent any ninjas from approaching the main clan's territory.

Domineering and unreasonable.

When the Byakugan was threatened, the Hinata displayed an unprecedented level of unity.

...

As Hinata Shin's orders were carried out by the branch family elites, disputes soon broke out outside the clan territory.

"Hey! Are you kidding me? We're the Hokage's direct ANBU, why can't we come in to investigate?"

"How dare you stop the Anbu?!"

On a long street outside the clan's territory, five elite members of the branch family intercepted a three-person secret service squad, preventing them from advancing further.

The intercepted Anbu members clearly hadn't expected to be treated this way. This was Konoha Village, and the Anbu should have the right to intervene in anything that happened, but here they were met with a wall.

"No one is allowed to approach the clan territory; this is the head family's order!"

Faced with the questioning from the Anbu, the Hyuga clan members didn't waste any words. They stared intently at the Anbu members with their five Byakugan eyes, repeated the orders from above, and then prepared for battle.

Seeing that the Hyuga clan members had actually prepared for battle, the Anbu were at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Just then, an ANBU member wearing a cat-face mask arrived in a flash, trying to smooth things over:

"Don't be impulsive, calm down."

Several members of the secret service turned around at the sound of the voice, and when they saw who it was, their imposing manner relaxed: "Captain."

Kakashi, the squad leader of the Anbu, rushed over after hearing the commotion and happened to witness the conflict between the two sides.

"With such a commotion, the entire Konoha ninja community must have been alerted."

"Shouldn't you explain to the public what happened?"

"Simply preventing the secret agents from entering to investigate seems a bit unreasonable, doesn't it?"

Kakashi may be young, but he is experienced and shrewd. Since he is already here, if the Anbu can't get any information, he won't be able to explain to his superiors tomorrow. But if he forces his way in, he will obviously be attacked by Hyuga.

Bloodline limit families are different from others; the consequences of angering the Hyuga clan are not something a mere ANBU squad leader like him can bear.

"The main family was attacked, but the enemy has been eliminated."

"Someone will explain the specifics to the Hokage tomorrow."

"All irrelevant personnel, please leave now!"

The words were forceful and domineering. Even Kakashi frowned upon hearing them. Things had progressed to this point, and the Anbu were helpless; the Hokage needed to intervene.

However, compared to the Hokage's direct subordinates in the Anbu, who are easier to talk to, the other branch of the Anbu are not necessarily so easy to communicate with.
