Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

As an elder of the Hyuga clan and having experienced both the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars, Shin's trust in the Second Hokage and his disciples was far beyond what Shinichi could change with just a few words.

In Shinichi's eyes, Danzo was the kind of person who would do any evil thing for power.

However, in the eyes of the vast majority of Konoha ninjas, Danzo was a member of the advisory group, a disciple of the Second Hokage, the Third Hokage's most trusted comrade-in-arms, an outstanding ninja who carried the darkness of Konoha, and an important partner who was willing to give everything for Konoha.

Shinichi Hyuga would rather believe that the Mist Ninja who attacked Shinichi Hyuga was a skilled spy who had successfully infiltrated the Hyuga clan's territory by bypassing Konoha's layers of defenses than believe that it was Danzo's doing.

The huge information gap led Shinichi and Shinichi Hyuga to have completely different understandings and judgments about the same thing.

Seeing the incredulous look on Hinata Shin's face, Shinichi knew that he probably wouldn't be able to convince his great-grandfather.

People are often bound by their own experience and judgment, and even Shinichi Hyuga was unable to break free from fixed impressions.

"Grandpa, I'm tired, I'll go back and rest now."

"Please cover for me in this matter. The attackers were killed by the elite of our Hyuga branch family, not me."

Shinichi had no intention of staying any longer. Now that he had his answer, he would naturally be more vigilant in the future.

Honestly, if the enemy really is Danzo, then it would be a real problem for the Hyuga clan.

Danzo and Orochimaru are currently in a honeymoon period of cooperation; to deal with Danzo is tantamount to dealing with Orochimaru.

They are at least two Kage-level powerhouses. Given the current strength of the Hyuga clan, I'm afraid...

However, we can rest assured that Danzo and Orochimaru are unlikely to take action personally at this stage. They may try to put pressure on the Hyuga clan, but they are unlikely to cause trouble under the watchful eyes of the Third and Fourth Hokage.

Today's "assassination" was at most a small test, nothing serious.

On the contrary, the probing of the Hyuga clan by the Root ninjas attracted by the explosion is more concerning.

Shinichi was relieved to find that the Hyuga clan's elite forces were very strong, and the Root ninjas were unable to break in smoothly.

In doing so, the Hyuga clan indirectly demonstrated their power, and Danzo would have to think twice before taking any further action.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to have some peace and quiet for a while.

Shinichi already had a plan for the present and the future. For him, the most important thing at this stage was not to worry about this or that, but to work hard to cultivate and increase his strength.

As he grew older, Shinichi Hyuga found that his control over chakra was also becoming stronger. After years of hard work, he had reached a certain level in both chakra nature transformation and chakra form transformation.

The chakra balls that attacked the enemy previously were one of the results of efforts in recent years.

That was one of the ultimate manifestations of chakra transformation, which Shinichi called the Mini Tailed Beast Ball. The power generated by the extremely compressed chakra after it was shot out was even greater than the power of hundreds of explosive tags tied together and exploding.

The amount of chakra required to release such a mini Tailed Beast Ball is similar to the amount of chakra required to release a regular-sized Great Fireball Technique.

It truly offers "good quality at a low price".

Shinichi developed this long-range attack method entirely to complement the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.

Seeing Shinichi's deliberately feigned exhaustion, Shinichi silently nodded. As for Shinichi's earlier suggestion to cover up the fact that he had fought, Shinichi understood.

Shinichi knew the principle of "the tallest tree in the forest," so how could he not know it? Although he didn't know whether the enemy was sent by the Mist Ninja, now that he knew someone wanted to harm the Hyuga main family, it became very necessary to hide Shinichi's strength and information about his ninjutsu.

The battle between ninjas is ultimately a battle of intelligence; the side that knows more about the enemy usually has the advantage.

Otherwise, "Jiraiya the Informant" wouldn't be considered one of the legendary characters by many Naruto fans.

Concealing Shinichi Hyuga's strength would allow him to deliver a heavy blow to the enemy at a crucial moment. In fact, Shinichi Hyuga had already thought of this even without Shinichi saying it, and the branch family ninjas' decision to intercept the Konoha ninjas who came to investigate was also based on this consideration.

Shinichi Hyuga was one of the elders that Shinichi could truly trust. Seeing Shinichi nod, Shinichi left and returned to his bedroom to rest.

While Shinichi, the person directly involved, was able to sleep peacefully, the Hyuga branch family ninjas were extremely busy that night.

Minato Namikaze arrived at the Hyuga clan shortly after the explosion, but the branch family ninjas, under orders from the main family, reluctantly stopped him.

Although they reported to Hyuga Shin immediately after Minato's arrival, Minato still waited outside the clan compound like the other ninjas.

Even the mild-mannered Minato couldn't help but admire Hyuga's tough attitude in response to his rudeness. At the same time, Minato also gained a deeper understanding of just how cautious the Hyuga clan, a family with bloodline limits, was in protecting their own bloodline limits.

After meeting with Shin Hyuga inside, Minato also obtained a embellished "truth" from Shin Hyuga.

The infiltrator was a Mist Ninja, but he was blasted to death by a branch family ninja with explosive tags as soon as he got close to the clan's territory. His body was completely destroyed, and even his personal belongings were obliterated in the explosion.

At this point, there was no way to conduct a further investigation.

Minato knew that Hyuga Shin was lying, but he didn't expose him. Instead, he used this false information to disperse the Konoha ninjas who were trying to come to their aid but were intercepted.

Given Minato's intelligence, he could probably understand what the Hyuga clan was planning.

However, Minato, worried about Shinichi's safety, decided to have the Anbu thoroughly search the village to see if they could find any clues.

...

The following day, news of the Hyuga clan's attack by the Kirigakure ninja spread widely throughout the village.

While the villagers of Konoha were furious at the despicable actions of the Mist Ninja, they were also amazed by the strength of the Hyuga clan, who had so easily thwarted the enemy's attack.

Only a few people who know Hyuga are aware that this matter is far more complicated than the public makes it out to be.

Meanwhile, Minato, who had just arrived at the Hokage's office that morning and started working, received his first guest of the day.

Danzo Shimura knocked on the Hokage's office door. Leaning on his cane, his face grim, Danzo entered and his first act was to demand that Minato increase the number of guards assigned to the Hyuga clan...

"Fourth Hokage, I heard that the Hyuga clan was attacked by Kirigakure ninja last night!"

"We absolutely cannot stand idly by in this matter!"

"This happened right after Hiashi led his elite troops out of the village; this is our dereliction of duty!"

"I suggest sending ANBU to the Hyuga clan to protect their safety!"
