Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 15 Shadow Guard

Hinata Yu stood under the Hokage Building, looked up, and walked inside.

A lot has changed here in a short time.

Some familiar ninjas left here, and unfamiliar ninjas began to work here.

The person sitting in the Hokage's office changed from a dying old man to a young man.

In wartime, keep things simple.

There was no speech on the succession to the Hokage, but Minato Namikaze had already taken office and started doing the work of Hokage.

"Hokage, I want to apply for the Jonin examination!" Hinata Yu whispered as he looked at the young man in the sunshine in front of him.

……

"Hinata Yu, 15 years old, completed 4 S-level missions, 32 A-level missions, B-level..."

Reading Hinata Yu's mission record, Namikaze Minato frowned and thought.

To be promoted as a Konoha Jonin, one needs to have sufficient merits or mission experience to prove one's various abilities.

But during the war, the jonin examination was mainly an examination of strength.

The mission experience and merit requirements can be appropriately lowered.

However, Hinata Yu's resume is also at an average level, so there is no problem for him to apply for the Jonin examination.

Minato Namikaze is now thinking about something else.

"The Third-generation Lord asked me to appease Hinata. Will the branch family choose him?"

He had already heard from the Third Hokage about the recent events in the village, and had no objection to the decision to appease Hinata.

The branch family needs to be completely integrated into the village, and the main family has just been severely damaged, so it is the best time to regroup. If it is done well, it will also be beneficial to stabilize the situation in the village.

And this requires him to arrange a suitable position for them.

Not too high, nor too low.

It can also bring out the abilities of the Hyuga clan...

Ok?
Namikaze Minato's eyes lit up.

There just happens to be such a location, although it is only suitable for splitting up the family.

A new Hokage must form a Shadow Guard!

The Shadow Guards can communicate directly with the Shadow and guard by the Shadow's side, which in itself is a kind of trust in the people who are chosen.

Moreover, each village has the habit of arranging the candidates for the next Hokage into the Shadow Guard. The Third Hokage was once a member of the Shadow Guard of the Second Hokage, and the Fourth Kazekage also served as the guard of the Third Kazekage.

This position can fully demonstrate the importance of dividing the family.

Minato thought to himself: 'In that case, let's conduct the Shadow Guard selection after the Jonin examination.'

But soon, Minato Namikaze frowned.

Most of the Shadow Guards are very powerful, and some are even the next Shadow.

The reason for this is that only a strong person of this level can play the role of guardian shadow.

Otherwise, if they encounter a powerful enemy, do they need Shadow to protect them?
Hinata Yu's Byakugan is very effective in covering up his lack of strength. In addition, in order to appease the Hyuga clan, the advisor and the third generation will agree to let him serve as a bodyguard.

But for others...if they are not strong enough, I'm afraid it won't work.

But when Minato thought carefully about his own fighting style, he honestly felt that it was a complete waste to put strong men into his Shadow Guard.

"As my bodyguard, it would be meaningless if you can't keep up with me in battle."

Thinking of this, Minato came up with an idea.

……

"Eh, the jonin exam?"

At the Ichiraku Ramen stand, Hinata Miyuki waited for the ramen to be served and asked in surprise, "Is Yu-kun going to officially become a jonin?"

"Yeah," Hinata Yu, who was sitting next to her, nodded, "I think it's OK."

"Really? That's great."

Hinata Miyuki had a look of envy on her face.

If it weren't for that scroll, how long would it take for me to have the strength of a jonin?

She didn't know, but it probably wouldn't be soon.

"Then today I will not only express my gratitude, but also wish you success in passing the assessment."

Hinata Miyuki reacted and looked at Boss Ichiraku with some embarrassment.

Although Ichiraku Ramen is delicious, wouldn't it be a bit strange to use it as a celebration?
"It's okay." While Hinata Miyuki was struggling, Hinata Yu said, "I like Ichiraku Ramen, too." This was a restaurant that Naruto personally advertised and gave good reviews to, and he had already tried it.

It tastes really good.

"Ah."

The ramen was ready at this time. Hinata Miyuki took her portion and nodded slightly.

Forget it, I'll prepare the gift well later and wait until Yujun passes the test.

Anyway...she can't do anything for the time being, and she won't defect.

As expected, some of the same clan were indeed targeted by the clan.

Although she was not under surveillance because of Hinata Yu's timely reminder, she also lost the opportunity to take action.

The Fourth Hokage, the Flying Thunder God Technique... a tricky character.

She is not afraid of death, but she cannot die now.

As the only person in the branch family who is not afraid of being a bird in a cage, if she dies as a result of killing all the members of the main family, the branch family will have no insurance.

After all, the Third Hokage, Tsunade and others also master the Caged Bird Technique.

She didn't feel at ease with these people until she let the branch family release the bird in the cage.

Hinata Miyuki, who was in a depressed mood, turned her grief and anger into appetite and quickly devoured the food in front of her.

Hinata Yu looked at the empty bowls gradually piling up in front of Hinata Miyuki, then looked at the three bowls in front of himself and fell into deep thought.

"After the Byakugan evolves, the appetite will also increase? No matter how I think about it, it's impossible, and my appetite is still the same as before."

'So it's natural?'

"I was on a mission with her and I was eating ration pills, but I didn't notice this."

Noticing Hinata Yu's strange look, Hinata Miyuki paused and her face turned slightly red.

"My father and I both have big appetites, probably because we inherited the genes from my grandfather."

"My appetite is actually not that bad, but my cousin... eats more than me."

When her cousin was mentioned, Hinata Miyuki's expression gradually calmed down and she seemed not to want to say more.

Hinata Yu considerately didn't ask, but he already had the answer in his mind.

Her cousin is probably from the Zong family.

If two children are born in the main family of the Hyuga clan in a certain generation, one of them will be engraved with a caged bird and become a member of the branch family.

This is to limit the number of people in the clan.

The other will become the head of the family, and his or her talent will usually be higher.

According to Hinata Miyuki, her lineage became a branch family, while her cousin's lineage became the main family.

However, the main family member who eats more than Hinata Miyuki and is not much older than her...it's easy to make connections.

Thinking about it, Hinata Yu smiled and said, "Being able to eat is a blessing. This means that your body energy is naturally stronger than that of ordinary people, and the amount of chakra is not less. It is a very lucky thing for a ninja."

Chakra is composed of physical energy and spiritual energy in a certain proportion.

If the physical energy is strong and the mental energy can keep up, the amount of chakra will not be less.

Hinata Miyuki was stunned, then smiled in surprise: "Yu-kun's way of thinking is really unique. Normally, everyone would think it's very strange, right? A girl eats so much..."

"It's only ten bowls."

Hinata Yu's eyes drifted to the stacked bowls on the table, "I've seen more."

"Is he from the Akimichi clan?" Hinata Miyuki wondered.

"No." Hinata Yu shook his head, stood up and walked out of the store, "She is your cousin's daughter."

"..."

Miyuki put the money down speechlessly and followed her. "She's not married yet, how can she have a daughter?"

Hinata Yu: "You didn't refute that her daughter can eat more than you."

"I've already thought of this from her appetite. Her lineage has always been like this, with an amazing appetite. Except for her figure, she looks more like Akimichi than the Akimichi people."

Hinata Miyuki lowered her eyes and saw her feet. She couldn't help but murmured, "But it's really enviable."

Hinata Yu paused, then quickly walked forward without changing his expression, pretending not to hear.

What are you envious of?
If Hinata's mother was the same as Hinata, it would be enviable... but you don't seem to be much different.
