Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

Obito Uchiha clearly hadn't expected his opponent to react so quickly, especially Hiashi Hyuga. When he saw Hiashi, who looked just like Hizashi but was several times faster, a look of astonishment flashed across Obito's eyes.

The next instant, Minato and Hiashi's figures passed through Obito's Hollowfied body.

Although surprised by the speed of the Hyuga clan ninjas, Obito still showed no intention of leaving.

As they passed each other, a Flying Thunder God kunai shot back from behind Obito. Obito, who was trying to grab Kushina, simply tilted his body, passed right through Kushina, and disappeared back into the ground.

He appears and disappears without a trace, and no weapon or ninjutsu can have any effect on Obito's Kamui.

Their terrifying abilities also greatly alarmed the Hyuga elites present.

"Hiashi, physical attacks are useless against his ethereal body."

"If I'm not mistaken, he needs to materialize when he retaliates for an attack to be effective against him."

This wasn't the first time Minato and Obito had met. After only a few encounters, Minato had already analyzed Obito's abilities quite thoroughly.

Unlike Shinichi, who had opened his "Heavenly Eye," Minato's combat intuition and combat intelligence were genuine.

"Yes!"

"I will assist you."

Japanese foot instantly understood his position. He lowered his head slightly, and his Byakugan pierced through the soil, searching for traces of soil.

The presence of Hyuga clan elites only made Obito more cautious.

However, Obito, unwilling to leave, will inevitably reveal his weakness.

"Fourth Hokage, step on!"

As Hiashi spoke to remind him, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the soil beneath Minato and grabbed at his ankles.

Minato leaped lightly, dodging Obito's attack while deliberately creating an opening.

Obito emerged from the ground, and unlike before, he now held a chain in his hands.

Seeing Minato suspended in mid-air with nowhere to grab his footing, Obito realized that his chance had come!

As Obito shot up from the ground and hurtled into the air, the chains behind him clanged loudly.

"Um?!"

Upon hearing the sound, Hiashi immediately unleashed a palm strike at Obito from mid-air, but the palm passed right through Obito's body and had no effect whatsoever.

At the same time, Minato, who was in mid-air, saw Obito attacking him and threw out a kunai.

"Mu da da—"

"Fourth Hokage, I won!"

The kunai passed through Obito's head, and as he looked at Minato, who was right in front of him with no way to get a foothold, a hint of excitement flashed in Obito's eyes.

"Spiral pills!"

However, at that moment, Minato Namikaze's figure suddenly disappeared from Obito's sight. The instant the shout reached his ears, a strong "push-back feeling" slammed Obito into the ground.

Amidst the flying sand and gravel, the Hyuga clan ninjas protected Kushina in the center.

The powerful Rasengan struck Obito directly, shattering the right half of his body.

"Flying Thunder God Technique, Second Stage..."

.....................

Chapter 41: Dividing the Seal!

Obito Uchiha was struck in the back by Minato Namikaze's Rasengan, and the powerful wind swept away sand and gravel.

Shinichi Hyuga, who witnessed Minato's fighting style from beginning to end, couldn't help but be impressed.

After mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique, one can even be distracted by sensing the location of the Flying Thunder God Kunai while fighting a powerful enemy like Obito.

This kind of fighting style is something that Shinichi cannot replicate now.

His mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique is somewhat similar to that of Boruto, the future grandson of the Fourth Hokage. When he is fighting with all his might, he has no time to be distracted by his Flying Thunder God Mark, making it difficult for him to achieve the instantaneous counterattack level of Minato when fighting fiercely with enemies.

If Minato's battle can be described as a multi-threaded operation, then Shinichi Hyuga's use of the Flying Thunder God Technique is more like a single thread.

To shift one's focus, one must mentally plan one's next move when fighting an enemy. The ability to use the Flying Thunder God Technique on the spot is far inferior to that of Minato.

However, Shinichi was not discouraged. He knew that his proficiency with the Flying Thunder God Technique could be increased through battle. Once he got used to multitasking, he would eventually be able to integrate the Flying Thunder God Technique into his battles, just like Minato.

Besides gaining new insights into the use of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Shinichi also silently memorized the Rasengan he had seen once before.

Although the Rasengan is considered an A-rank ninjutsu, its essence can be seen through with just one glance in the face of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.

This ninjutsu is the ultimate expression of chakra transformation. The Hyuga clan's Gentle Step Twin Lion Fist is also the ultimate expression of chakra transformation. In fact, these two ninjutsu have a certain degree of overlap in their training methods.

However, the two ninjutsu have different effects. Gentle Step Twin Lions relies on the Byakugan and attacks the enemy's meridians and acupoints over a large area to inflict damage.

The Rasengan relies on the power of its chaotic rotation and the direct force of its exploding chakra to inflict damage on the enemy.

Although Shinichi may not necessarily need to use a ninjutsu like the Rasengan, the Rasengan has a very high skill ceiling, and if he has spare time, it's not impossible to refine this ninjutsu.

Shinichi Hyuga stood inconspicuously among the Hyuga clan members.

In the midst of the battlefield, Obito Uchiha, after suffering a severe injury, swiftly emerged from the dust and landed on an open ground, bowing slightly and clutching his "right arm," which had been smashed into white liquid.

Although he was only hit once by the Fourth Hokage, this Rasengan almost rendered Obito unable to continue fighting.

He could feel Bai Jue's body slowly peeling away from his own. He needed Bai Jue to stabilize half of his body, otherwise, his bodily functions would be completely lost.

"As expected of the Yellow Flash..."

"I lost this round!"

"but..."

"not yet...."

Obito realized he was no longer able to fight, but he did not flee quickly. Before leaving, he tried to implant the concept of "he is strong" in the minds of the Konoha ninjas, wanting them to live in constant threat.

However, before he could finish his harsh words, Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared in front of Obito, placing a hand directly on Obito's body.

"Contract Seal!"

Minato could sense a connection between Obito and Kurama. The power of the contract seal was meant to sever this connection, allowing Kurama to break free from Obito's Sharingan power.

"!!!"

Minato's sudden appearance startled Obito. Only then did he realize that the moment Minato struck him with the Rasengan, he had already left the Flying Thunder God mark on his body.

Obito had no desire to stay any longer. He gave Minato a deep look, and then his Sharingan quickly released a spatial vortex, rapidly absorbing Minato's intangible body before disappearing from Minato's sight.

“Obito.…”

Minato breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that the Flying Thunder God mark he had imprinted on Obito had completely disappeared, his eyes dimming.

Ultimately... it was because he failed to properly guide Obito that Konoha and Kushina suffered such an undeserved disaster...

Minato felt disappointed in Obito, and also guilty for his failure as a teacher.

"Roar!!!!!"

With the Sharingan no longer controlling it, Kurama's eyes became clear. As soon as it regained consciousness, it felt the restraints on its body, which caused Kurama to lose its mind and begin to struggle frantically.

"Quickly, control the Nine-Tails!!!"

Seeing that the Nine-Tails was going berserk and showing signs of breaking free of the Adamantine Seal, Hyuga Hijiri immediately shouted loudly.

At a command, the Hyuga clan's elites quickly scattered around Kurama, their hands imbued with chakra, and then firmly grasped the golden chains binding Kurama, contributing their own strength.

Although Kushina was weak, the strength of the Adamantine Sealing Chains was undeniable. With the efforts of the Hyuga clan ninjas, the berserk Nine-Tails was firmly bound in place.

"Next..."

There was no time for Minato to wallow in despair; the existence of Kurama was a problem he had to face.

Minato quickly flashed to Kushina's side and fell into deep thought as he looked at the enormous Nine-Tails in front of him.

Although... according to the information provided by Shinichi, all that's needed is to seal the Nine-Tails back, there's a very difficult practical problem: what technique should be used to seal the Nine-Tails?!

What kind of sealing technique can seal the Nine-Tails?

The person who sealed the tailed beast inside Kushina was Mito Uzumaki, whose sealing technique was arguably the strongest of that era.

However, even Mito Uzumaki's sealing technique could not completely restrict the power of the Nine-Tails. Later, Minato learned the Four Symbols Sealing Technique and developed the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique on this basis, which finally stabilized the seal in Kushina's body.

Even so, when Kushina's emotions fluctuate greatly, the tailed beast's chakra still overflows.

Now that Mito Uzumaki's seal has been broken, it's unlikely that the Eight Trigrams Seal alone can completely seal the Nine-Tails.

Furthermore, Obito Uchiha's power made Minato realize that Jinchuriki must master the ability to protect themselves.

If Kushina could master the power of the Tailed Beasts like Killer Bee from Kumogakure, she could likely provide assistance to Obito in his battles, preventing him from being constantly on the defensive.

He glanced back at Kushina, then at Naruto in her arms.

Minato Namikaze's eyes also revealed a resolute determination.

"Kushina..."

"The power of the Nine-Tails is too immense; I am not confident that I can completely seal it away."

"I think... I can use the Reaper Death Seal to divide the Nine-Tails, and then use the Eight Trigrams Seal to seal the Nine-Tails into your body and Naruto's body respectively."
