Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

Good news kept coming from the front lines of the war. Since Hiashi Hyuga led the elite troops of the branch family to the front lines to oversee the army, Orochimaru seemed to have stopped making any more moves.

He had no intention of harboring bandits for his own benefit, and launched a heavy attack on the Mist Ninja, achieving great victories in local wars.

As reports of victory kept arriving back in the village, Orochimaru's reputation grew day by day, and the name of the Legendary Sannin was once again widely circulated among the villagers. However, this time, Jiraiya and Tsunade benefited from Orochimaru's fame.

The frequent deaths of Hyuga clan ninjas in battle have been brought under control, and Hiashi often sends letters home during his free time.

The letters home were nothing more than expressing concern for the clan's current situation, inquiring about Shinichi's growth, and sometimes mentioning battles he had encountered on the battlefield, hoping that Shinichi could gain something from them.

Although there were no particularly earnest words, Shinichi could still feel Hiashi Hyuga's longing for his family through the various contents of the letter.

However, Hiashi was a man who only reported good news and not bad news. Although his family letters never mentioned his experiences, in reality, since he went to the front line, there had been several raids and assassinations targeting Hyuga.

The enemies are not only the Mist Ninja, but also the Iwa Ninja and the Kumo Ninja.

However, all those raids and assassinations failed due to the Hyuga clan's tight defenses.

Hiashi Hyuga was a true elite Jonin, and an elite with a bloodline limit. In the entire ninja world, apart from enemies overwhelming him with sheer numbers, only a small team led by a Kage-level powerhouse could possibly break through layers of defenses and pose a threat to Hiashi Hyuga himself.

The enemy's desire for the Byakugan will not diminish because of the failed surprise attack. On the contrary, the strength shown by Hyuga makes them even more eager for the Byakugan bloodline limit.

Since the various surprise attacks against Hyuga Hiashi were ineffective, the enemy's target naturally shifted to other people.

The Cloud Ninja, a village obsessed with collecting bloodline limits, also had other ideas, and a plan targeting the Hyuga clan was quietly unfolding.

Konoha 51th year.

A peaceful yet fulfilling life makes time fly by, and before you know it, the end of the year is approaching again.

12 month 27 day.

On this day, the streets of Konoha Village were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

For Konoha, today is a day of great celebration. After nearly two years of back-and-forth and negotiations, Konoha will sign a friendship treaty with the envoys of Kumogakure today, and the northern front will be completely quiet from today onwards.

Several years have passed since the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, rose to prominence during the Third Shinobi World War, and Konoha Village has gradually extricated itself from the quagmire of war.

Originally, Konoha was surrounded by enemies on all sides. Through the unremitting efforts of Konoha ninja, Sand Ninja became a vassal of Konoha again. Iwa Ninja had also ceased their attacks and turned their attention to Cloud Ninja. There had long been no large-scale conflicts between Kirigakure and Konoha. Although minor troubles continued, under Orochimaru's leadership, the Kirigakure front had not experienced any large-scale casualties in recent years.

Now that Konoha has signed a peace treaty with Kumogakure, Konoha is no longer hindered and can enjoy peaceful times without worry.

The people of Konoha, who had suffered greatly from the war, had been longing for this day. When the day finally arrived, not only the ordinary people in the village, but also the ninja clans in the village breathed a great sigh of relief.

The Cloud Ninja is a military superpower, far larger than the Mist Ninja. If they hadn't been held back by the Iwa Ninja, Konoha would have had to pay a heavy price to force them to retreat.

Amidst the welcoming throngs of Konoha villagers, the Cloud Ninja envoy rode a tall horse into Konoha amidst cheers. Along the way to the Hokage Building, the Cloud Ninja envoy truly felt the warmth and hospitality of the Konoha people.

The Cloud Ninja Envoy's name is Yotsuki Go, a member of the prestigious Yotsuki clan of Cloud Ninja. He is the younger brother of the Fourth Raikage and is highly trusted. He is also very strong personally and has made a name for himself on the battlefield. He is a senior Jonin.

The envoy team accompanying him consisted of 15 people, including 4 Jonin and the rest Chunin. This configuration would be enough to determine the outcome of a medium-sized battle even on the main battlefield. The fact that such an envoy team was dispatched shows how much importance the Cloud Ninja attached to this mission to Konoha.

While everyone in Konoha was celebrating the arrival of the Cloud Ninja envoy, one family seemed indifferent to the matter.

Although the Hyuga clan compound was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations like the rest of the village, they were not celebrating the arrival of the Cloud Ninja envoy, but rather preparing for the birthday of Hyuga Hinata, the daughter of Hyuga Hiashi.

This day is also a special day for Hinata Hyuga. According to the Hyuga tradition, the day Hinata turns three is the day she will be branded with the Caged Bird Mark.

However, due to the absence of the clan head, Hiashi Hyuga, the day Hinata was put into the Caged Bird Seal was postponed.

Before being branded as a caged bird, Hinata Hyuga was a member of the main family.

Even Hinata, the youngest daughter of Hiashi, received many blessings from her branch family members on her birthday. Of course, more importantly, the Hyuga clan will also be hosting several important guests today.

Minato Namikaze is busy receiving envoys from the Cloud Village today, while his wife and son have also received an invitation from Hanako to come to the Hyuga clan to attend Hinata's birthday party.

Hinata and Naruto grew up together and are each other's best friends. Today is Hinata's birthday, so naturally they wouldn't forget Kushina and her son. If Minato hadn't had important business to attend to today, he, the Hokage, would probably be at the Hyuga clan's territory as well.

Hinata grew up in a secluded family compound, and apart from Naruto, her childhood friend, all her other playmates were children from the clan. To make her birthday party more lively, Hanako invited these close clan members as well.

The liveliness of the banquet was in no way inferior to the banquets held by Konoha to entertain the Cloud Ninja.

While all the Hyuga clan members were immersed in the lively banquet, Hyuga Shinichi secretly approached Hyuga Shin and asked his great-grandfather to strengthen the defense of the clan's territory.

Although he didn't know what Shinichi was worried about, Shinichi Hyuga listened to Shinichi's words and let some of the clansmen who needed to keep watch at night drink in moderation.

Feeling fully prepared, Shinichi happily enjoyed the dinner with his clansmen.

...

As evening approached, Shinichi Hyuga, who had returned to his room to rest early after the banquet, unusually sat up from the tatami mat.

We've rested our spirits; it's time to face the coming storm.

Stepping out of the room, Shinichi glanced around the clan grounds with his eyes wide open. After briefly checking the situation of the main family's guards, he sat quietly on the corridor, tilting his head back to look at the bright moon in the night sky, lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Shinichi, who was staring blankly at the sky, suddenly lowered his head, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Within his perception field, several powerful chakra streams were rapidly approaching the Hyuga clan's territory.

"You're here..."
