Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

"Borrowing the sealed book?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought he had misheard and asked in a deep voice. Seeing Hiashi nod solemnly, Hiruzen's expression changed. After a moment of contemplation, he didn't immediately refuse, but instead continued to ask:

"What, the Hyuga clan is actually interested in forbidden books?"

"You must know that every single one of the forbidden books recorded in the Book of Seals is extremely dangerous, right?"

"In Konoha, the research of forbidden techniques has always been prohibited."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke in a solemn tone, and his demeanor was completely different from before, with a faint pressure enveloping Hiashi Hyuga.

Sensing the pressure from Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hiashi Hyuga calmly explained in a flat tone:

"It's not that I'm interested in the forbidden techniques recorded in the Book of Sealing, but rather that my son, Shinichi Hyuga, is interested in the Flying Thunder God Technique, and therefore wants to borrow the Book of Sealing to see if it's possible to learn that technique."

Hiashi had no intention of hiding his son's exceptional talent. Over the years, the Hyuga clan's reputation in the village had been overshadowed by the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan has produced geniuses of the caliber of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, making the younger generation of the Hyuga clan seem far weaker in comparison.

To a certain extent, letting the outside world know about Shinichi Hyuga's excellence is also of great benefit to boosting the reputation of the Hyuga clan.

"Your son wants to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Shinichi Hyuga... is that the kid who was sitting next to you at your house just now?"

"How old is he?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was one of surprise and astonishment. He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected that Hiashi Hyuga would borrow the Book of Seals for his son.

However, it cannot be ruled out that this is just an excuse used by Hiashi Hyuga.

"Borrowing the sealed book, huh..."

"If it's your Hyuga clan, then it's not impossible!"

After a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke. Hiashi, however, was not surprised to hear this; in his view, it was expected.

On the surface, only the Hokage can read the Scroll of Seals, and Konoha has explicitly forbidden the research of forbidden techniques, but that's only on the surface.

Having reached a position like Hyuga Hiashi's, he was already aware of many of Konoha's darker aspects, such as the ongoing research into forbidden techniques.

Moreover, quite a few ninjas have already successfully seen the Book of Seals, but these people are all from the Hokage faction.

With the Hyuga clan's name, it's not difficult to borrow the Book of Seals. Moreover, unlike the Uchiha clan, their power is not rejected by the Hokage system. On the contrary, Konoha has always relied on the Hyuga clan's abilities.

"Hiashi, since you say that your son, Shinichi Hyuga, wants to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, then how about this: find some time for your son to come over, and I can give him a week to study the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"You know, allowing ninjas other than the Hokage to peruse the Scroll of Seals is already an exception, so naturally we can't let the scroll leave the Hokage Building, right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't entirely believe Hiashi's words. Naturally, he didn't want the Hyuga clan to get involved with the forbidden books in the Scroll of Seals. Since Hiashi said that his son wanted to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, then he would let his son come to the Hokage Building to look through them!

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't believe in his heart that a five-year-old kid could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. It was already good enough that he could recognize words, let alone learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Alright! Thank you, Third Hokage!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi readily agreed, and Hiashi was overjoyed to receive the Third Hokage's promise.

"Heh, my son, he's still been underestimated after all!"

"But that's fine too. With Shinichi's photographic memory, he'll probably be able to memorize the entire sealed book in a week!"

Hiashi Hyuga thought to himself, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"If there's nothing else, Hokage-sama, I'll take my leave."

"I will bring Shinichi to borrow the Book of Sealing in a couple of days."

"These Hyuga clan ninjas are your responsibility. Just have them return after their mission is complete."

As Hiashi bowed again and turned to leave, he gave Hyuga Hizashi a look, which the latter understood and silently lowered his eyelids.

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not try to stop Hiashi Hyuga. After Hiashi left, he chatted intimately with several Hyuga clan ninjas before summoning an ANBU member, who then led the Hyuga clan ninjas out of the office.

After the Hokage's office returned to silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi sat back down at his desk, and just then, a cloud of smoke rose from the floor in front of him.

"Bang!!"

Danzo, leaning on his cane, emerged from the smoke and approached Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk, questioning him in a heavy tone:

"Hiruzen, how could you allow an outsider to peruse the sealed book? Especially a brat who doesn't know any better!"

"Have you lost your mind?"

Danzo had overheard some of the conversation in the office earlier. As the leader of Root and one of the Konoha advisors, Danzo was free to enter and leave the Hokage's office, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely indulgent towards him.

"The Hyuga clan is one of the strongest forces in Konoha, so they can't really be considered outsiders."

"Besides, he's just a kid who admires the Flying Thunder God Technique. You don't need to get so worked up."

"I've met Shinichi Hyuga before. He's only five years old. Although he looks very mature, a child is still a child."

"What impact could it possibly have if I agreed to a trivial request?"

When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Danzo suddenly appear and question him, he didn't get angry. Instead, he calmly explained a few things.

"Even so, the Hyuga clan is far too presumptuous!"

"How dare you make such a request, Hiruzen..."

Before Danzo could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "I actually made this promise on behalf of Minato."

"Danzo, Minato was the true Fourth Hokage!"

Those two short sentences shut Danzo up.

Yes... Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi in front of us are the true Hokage...

...

When Hyuga Hiashi returned to his clan's territory, it was already close to evening. By then, Hyuga Shinichi had also finished his day's training and returned to his residence.

At this moment, he was sitting beside a beautiful woman, quietly watching her knit a small gray sweater.

Hyuga Hanako, Shinichi Hyuga's birth mother in this life, inherited seven-tenths of his appearance from her.

Hyuga Hanako has a gentle personality and is a very standard and traditional Japanese wife. Since marrying Hyuga Hiashi, she has naturally devoted herself to being a wife and mother and rarely goes out. She is very young, but she has devoted all her time to her husband and children.

Shinichi Hyuga was doted on by Hanako since childhood, and even as a transmigrator, he could feel the maternal glow emanating from her.

This woman is someone Shinichi Hyuga swore to protect!

"Mom, you didn't knit this sweater for me, did you?"

"For my future sister?"

"Isn't it a bit too early to start knitting now? And the color is too plain; it's not suitable for a girl."

Shinichi Hyuga sat by the window, watching his stepmother carefully knitting a sweater, and said with a smile.

"My future little sister?"

How do you know it's a girl? Maybe it's a boy.

"Isn't it better to use a simpler color? Both boys and girls can wear it, isn't that great?"

When Hyuga Hanako heard her son's words, she stopped what she was doing, gently patted Shinichi's head, and smiled.

"I had a feeling it would be a younger sister; my premonitions are usually pretty accurate."

"For girls, it's better to wear brighter colors."

Shinichi Hyuga leaned against the wall, his hands behind his head, and said confidently.

Hyuga Hanako glanced at her outstanding son, and then, as if struck by a sudden thought, said:

"She's not like you... Her future world is gray."

"Shinichi...you must protect your little sister well from now on, and make her world more colorful."
