Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

Under the cover of night, Shinichi Hyuga sat quietly on the veranda in front of his bedroom, carefully sensing the several streams of chakra rapidly approaching the Hyuga residence.

Since mastering sensory ninjutsu, Shinichi often releases his sensory field during training to familiarize himself with the chakra of the Hyuga clan's neighbors.

The several streams of chakra rapidly approaching the Hyuga clan were unfamiliar to Shinichi. He judged that these were probably the people he was waiting for tonight.

There was a question that had been bothering Shinichi Hyuga: what methods did the Cloud Ninja use to break through the branch family's layers of defense, accurately locate Hinata's bedroom, and kidnap her?

Just how stupid must the Hyuga branch family be to fail to notice the other party, requiring the clan head, Hiashi, to personally intervene and resolve the situation?

There's one thing Shinichi never considered: the united Hyuga clan he lives in now is not the same Hyuga clan that Hinata Hyuga originally lived in.

That's right, the Hyuga main family can indeed control the lives of the branch family by relying on the Caged Bird Seal, but that doesn't mean the branch family will necessarily be at the mercy of the main family. Otherwise, why would there be conflicts between the main and branch families in the Hyuga clan?

Hinata wasn't Shinichi Hyuga, who had already displayed terrifying talent early on. The branch family wasn't satisfied with this future Hyuga successor, and the Hizashi family wasn't the only ones harboring resentment!

Hinata's appearance even exacerbated the resentment and imbalance within the branch family to some extent.

Did the Cloud Ninja really not notice the branch family's guards' attack? Probably not!

Perhaps they were just trying to take advantage of the oversight to find a new successor for the Hyuga clan.

A caged bird is not a god, and it is true that the branch family cannot directly attack the main family. However, whether they are dedicated to protecting the main family makes a huge difference.

Even if Hiashi realized these things afterward, he probably couldn't use that as a reason to activate the Caged Bird Seal.

However, the current situation in Hyuga is completely different.

The ninja world is ultimately a world where the strong are respected. Shinichi Hyuga's talent and strength suppressed the imbalance and resentment in the branch family's hearts.

It is precisely because Shinichi Hyuga is exceptionally capable that he has been able to suppress the fundamental conflicts between the branch family and the main family to a certain extent. This has enabled the Hyuga family to create a harmonious and united atmosphere today.

The conflict between the main family and the branch family may erupt at some point in the future, but it is certain that there is no possibility of such a conflict erupting at this stage.

"Bang Bang Bang——"

Mokubang's voice suddenly rang out, and some of the Hyuga clan's guards noticed the abnormality and sent a warning signal to the clansmen.

Since Shinichi Hyuga was assassinated in the clan's territory a year ago, the Hyuga clan has been on high alert, and they have not let their guard down even though they are in the heart of Konoha.

The attacking enemies are all elites, that much is certain, but how can they easily hide their whereabouts in the face of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan?

Upon hearing the sound, Shinichi Hyuga paused in surprise. He had assumed that the enemy had a way to easily bypass the Hyuga clan's defenses and enter the main family compound, but he hadn't expected that they would be detected as soon as they got close.

This level of infiltration is far too disappointing. Shinichi was originally prepared to fight them personally, but now it seems that it won't be easy for them to get close to him.

"Splash—"

Suddenly, the door to the room next to Shinichi's bedroom was pulled open, and Kakashi Hatake and Shisui Uchiha hurriedly walked out.

They were fast asleep, but they had obviously heard the sound of the wooden door knocking. They came out to check and saw Shinichi sitting in front of the corridor. Both of them looked puzzled.

"Shinichi, didn't you go to sleep a long time ago?"

"Why are you sitting here?"

"What happened?"

Kakashi didn't believe that Shinichi had come out after hearing the commotion like the others. Shinichi was wearing a tight-fitting training uniform and had a ninja tool pouch at his waist, clearly ready for battle.

It seems he... had a premonition that something would happen tonight and was therefore keeping watch here?

Kakashi suppressed his doubts and asked aloud.

"It should be nothing serious... That's a warning sound for the guards. It means they've discovered that strangers are approaching the tribe's territory."

"If something really happens, then it won't be..."

However, before Shinichi could finish his explanation, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the southeast of the clan's territory. It was the whistle of an enemy attack, and its meaning was completely different from the previous Mubang whistle.

"The enemy has invaded!"

A look of seriousness flashed in Shinichi Hyuga's eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the direction from which the shriek came. Accompanied by a huge roar, thick smoke and dust rose from a corner of the Hyuga clan under the night sky.

"..."

Shinichi Hyuga used his Byakugan to look in the direction of the flashing lightning. Through the layers of courtyard walls, he saw a battlefield full of ruins.

In the midst of the battlefield, three members of the branch family lay weakly in the ruins. Although the flow of chakra could still be seen in their bodies, the chakra flames in their core areas were like candles flickering in the wind, and could be extinguished at any moment.

In the very center of the battlefield, a group of ninjas, completely covered in clothing, rapidly converged. Among them seemed to be excellent sensory ninjas. After briefly pausing to eliminate the guards, they then rushed directly towards the direction where Shinichi Hyuga was located.

The invading team consisted of fifteen people. As they stormed into the Hyuga clan's territory, the branch family ninjas also located the enemy and quickly surrounded them.

"They're coming for us."

"Shisui-kun, Kakashi-senpai, prepare for battle."

Shinichi Hyuga frowned slightly. The number of enemies was greater than Shinichi had expected, and the enemy had a clear objective and moved very fast. Although the Hyuga clan's ninjas had tracked down the enemy, they were not as fast as the enemy.

Intercepting them would probably be difficult.

"clang--"

Before long, the enemy launched a surprise attack outside the main family compound. However, this group was also strongly intercepted by the branch family guards, and only four people were able to successfully approach the main family compound.

The rest of the group had already been intercepted by the guards of the branch family on the perimeter.

On the surface, it was the Hyuga clan's guard system that played a role, but in Shinichi's view, the branch family's elite troops seemed to have been held back by the enemy's expendable pawns.

"call out--"

With a whooshing sound, four black figures flew over the courtyard wall and landed in the courtyard. Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi drew their swords at the same time and appeared in front of Hyuga Shinichi, firmly protecting him behind them.

They were four burly men with masks covering their faces, only their eyes showing. In just one glance, their gazes fell on Shinichi Hyuga, who was being protected by Kakashi and Shisui.

The deep blue eyes shone faintly in the darkness, and needless to say, the newcomer knew that he had encountered one of his targets.

Just as they were about to take action, a deep, aged voice suddenly rang out from mid-air.

"Who goes there?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the clan elder, Hyuga Shin, who was wearing pajamas, suddenly flew down and stood in front of Shinichi and the other two. He looked at the several men in black in the courtyard with a serious expression. At the same time, veins bulged at the corners of Hyuga Shin's eyes, and he activated his Byakugan.
