Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

Hinata Shin's sudden appearance made the group of people who were about to make a move pause. When they saw that the person who came was an old man, they exchanged glances and their eyes became more cautious.

Having already experienced the strength of the Hyuga clan on their journey here, they were unsure of themselves in the face of the suddenly appearing Hyuga Shin.

Admittedly, even the most skilled ninjas will experience a decline in physical function as they age. However, the longer a ninja lives, the more fearsome they become.

Even a war with such a high mortality rate wouldn't kill those old guys. No matter how they survived, they must have some tricks up their sleeves.

"Captain, they probably can't hold out much longer. If we leave now, we still have a chance..."

"What's the next step?"

Hyuga Shin's appearance seemed to be outside the other party's plan. Upon seeing Hyuga Shin, a ninja approached the leader of the men in black and asked in a low voice.

The voice was very low, but in the relatively quiet environment, Shinichi and the others could hear it clearly.

The enemy seems to have lost their nerve and are somewhat lacking confidence.

Upon hearing their conversation, Shinichi Hyuga's eyes flashed with understanding.

He hadn't expected the number of enemies invading the Hyuga clan to be so large, but the enemy also seemed to have underestimated the strength of the main clan's guards.

Not only were the elite members of the family who had separated from the main branch alarmed, but even the great-grandfather, who had always lived a secluded life, was alarmed.

The other side's actions can now be considered a failure.

Judging from the current situation, the lightning release that broke through the guards earlier not only alarmed the Hyuga clan members, but also the Konoha ANBU.

This place will soon be surrounded by Konoha ninjas. Every second the enemy stays here, the risk increases exponentially.

Unless they defeat everyone present in one fell swoop, they probably won't be able to escape from Konoha smoothly.

If it were an assassination mission, they might be willing to fight to the death, but clearly, the enemy's objective is not that simple.

"You can't get away!"

Hinata Shin sensed that his opponent seemed to be planning to leave, and assumed a fighting stance, ready for battle.

However, the decision made by the other party's decision-makers was also beyond their expectations.

"Shut up!"

"Go prepare the Heavenly Delivery Technique. The rest of you, cooperate with my actions."

"Once we successfully deliver them, our mission will be complete!"

The resolute voice came from the burly ninja in the lead. Although he didn't reveal much information, Hyuga Shin, Kakashi, and the others immediately tensed up.

I didn't understand what the other party wanted to send away, but seeing them staring intently at Shinichi Hyuga, who was being protected by everyone, it was obvious what their goal was.

As for Shinichi, when he heard the other party mention the "Heavenly Gift Technique," he had already figured out the other party's entire plan and also realized the other party's identity.

The Art of Heavenly Gifts...

There's no possibility of an outsider impersonating them; these people are definitely Cloud Ninja!

"I see..."

Shinichi murmured softly and said:

"Grandpa, the other party is a Cloud Ninja."

"It seems there's a celebration in the village today, to commemorate the arrival of the Cloud Ninja's envoy to Konoha to sign a peace treaty."

"These might be the people. If possible, spare their lives."

Shinichi Hyuga spoke up, reminding him that he didn't want the Hyuga clan to bear the same blame again. Although he didn't know why the Cloud Ninja dared to do such a thing during Konoha's heyday, it didn't stop him from making a decision.

Konoha has now seemingly completed the power transition between the old and new Hokage. In addition to the legendary Sannin and the Third Hokage, the strong figures on the surface also include talents like Minato Namikaze.

The Nine-Tails' rampage did not shatter Konoha's stronghold structure.

However, on the other hand, Kumogakure remains one of the strongest ninja villages in the world, boasting the Fourth Raikage, two Jinchuriki, a chakra cannon, and the Six Paths Treasures...

If a war were to break out with Konoha, which has complex internal factions, it would be hard to say who would emerge victorious.

Konoha was already in a period of transition, and both the people and the ninja clans were tired of the pain and death brought by the war and urgently needed to recuperate.

Shinichi wouldn't gamble that the Fourth Hokage would be so forceful as to wage war against the Cloud Ninja for the sake of the Hyuga. On the contrary, the dark-skinned Raikage, a fighter, is the kind of person who would fight without hesitation.

To prevent any accidents, taking them alive is always the safest approach.

Although it's not pleasant, since one must survive in Konoha, one must think carefully before acting.

While Shinichi was speaking, the enemy also took action.

The ninja who had previously asked the leader what to do went to the back of the battle formation, quickly took out some scrolls from his pocket, and arranged them in a regular pattern on the ground, seemingly preparing to set up some kind of "formation" in the courtyard.

The other three also scattered at this moment. One rushed straight towards Shinichi, while the other two circled around and surrounded Shinichi's location.

On Shinichi's side, Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi were also undaunted by the approaching enemy, directly drawing their swords to meet the attack and successfully intercepting the enemy in mid-air.

The ninja who had charged towards Hyuga Shin had now become a blur, flying backward at an even faster speed than during the attack, and crashing into the courtyard wall.

"boom!!!!"

The enemy's body slammed into the wall, cracking it open.

In a single exchange, Hyuga Shin struck his opponent in the abdomen with a palm strike, disrupting part of the enemy's chakra flow. In the blink of an eye, the outcome was decided...

A strong gust of wind lifted the hem of Hinata Shin's clothes, and his long, silvery-white hair danced in the wind.

Shinichi Hyuga, who had witnessed Shin's moves from beginning to end, raised an eyebrow and smiled in admiration:

"As expected of my great-grandfather, he's amazing!"

Although Shin Hinata is old, his calmness in the face of attacks and his decisiveness and ruthlessness in the counterattack still reflect some of the formidable strength he possessed in his youth.

The people in the Cloud Ninja who can carry out this kind of mission must not be some nobody, right?

However, the disparity between ordinary ninjas and those with bloodline limits far exceeded Shinichi's expectations.

Glancing at the Cloud Ninja who had lost their fighting ability in the distance, Shinichi Hyuga relaxed and put his hands behind his back, looking at the other two battlefields.

Unlike Hyuga Shin, who could instantly kill his enemies, the battle between Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui was much more intense.

The sounds of weapons clashing rang out incessantly, and four figures flashed into the courtyard.

Just as Shinichi had predicted, the ninjas of the Cloud Village were no pushovers. The young Uchiha Shisui awakened his Sharingan with two tomoe, but the insight that the Sharingan brought was not enough to completely bridge the gap between his strength and speed and that of his enemies.

Under the attack of the Cloud Ninja, Uchiha Shisui looked to be in grave danger, on the verge of defeat.

On the other hand, Kakashi, who was already an adult at 18, was much more stable. His strength and speed were in no way inferior to his opponent's. Although he only had one eye with three tomoe, the insight brought by the Sharingan gave him an advantage in every aspect of the battle, completely suppressing his enemy.

Neither Shinichi nor Shinichi intended to intervene in the battle. After recognizing the enemy's identity, the old man and the young man both wanted to give the two guards sent by the Hokage more "stages to shine".

Seemingly sensing Shinichi's thoughts, Shinichi Hyuga silently turned around and exchanged a glance with his adopted grandson. They both saw a hint of a smile in each other's eyes.
