Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

"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 thinking of something, suddenly said:

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

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

Chapter 9: The Book of Admonition and Sealing!

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

Hyuga Hanako seemed to be thinking about something, and her mood suddenly became gloomy. When she spoke to Hyuga Shinichi, a deep worry appeared in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Shinichi Hyuga's breath hitched for a moment before he solemnly nodded in agreement:

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely protect her!"

Shinichi Hyuga could also guess why Hanako Hyuga was worried about the future of the child in her womb; the heavy clan system of the Hyuga family oppressed everyone.

Shinichi Hyuga was a beneficiary of this system, but after him, every child born to his mother would be branded with the Caged Bird Seal and become a member of a branch family. This clan system sometimes oppressed female members even more than male members.

"Yes, I believe you. Shinichi is the most outstanding genius in the Hyuga clan in the last hundred years. If it is you, you will definitely be able to protect your future sister."

Hanako seemed to be trying to make Shinichi happy, and when she spoke, she followed Shinichi's words and treated the baby in her belly as a girl.

Just as the mother and son were looking forward to the future, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and Hiashi Hyuga, dressed in a casual kimono, slowly walked into the room. Upon seeing his wife and son, Hiashi's gaze immediately fell on Shinichi Hyuga:

"Have you finished your training for today?"

Without first greeting his wife, Hiashi immediately inquired about Shinichi Hyuga's training progress.

"Yes, after the tea ceremony, I practiced chakra transformation and some taijutsu."

"The training ended only when my physical strength was completely exhausted and most of my chakra was used up."

"Father, you weren't at the clan's residence this afternoon. What did you go there for?"

Shinichi Hyuga sat up and answered. When facing the strict Hiashi Hyuga, Shinichi did not speak with the timidity he would have when facing a strict parent; he spoke confidently and naturally.

"You went to the Hokage Building because you wanted to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, didn't you?"

"I met with the Third Hokage this afternoon. He agreed to give you a week. During this week, you can go to the Hokage Building to borrow the Scroll of Sealing."

Speaking of this, Hiashi puffed out his chest, his face full of pride. Hanako glanced at her husband, covered her mouth and chuckled, then silently lowered her head and continued knitting.

Upon hearing this, Shinichi looked at Hiashi Hyuga with some surprise.

"Go to the Hokage Building to borrow the Book of Seals? A whole week?!"

He hadn't expected that Rizu's departure from the tribe's territory that afternoon was for this very reason. The matter had only been mentioned at noon, yet by evening it had already been settled.

Shinichi was genuinely surprised by Hiashi Hyuga's efficiency. Of course, what surprised Shinichi the most was that Hiashi Hyuga actually managed to get the job done; before this, Shinichi hadn't had high hopes at all.

The Book of Seals is, after all, a forbidden scroll; how could it be so easy to borrow, especially from a mere brat like him?

It was only at this moment that Shinichi realized that he had underestimated the power of the Hyuga clan in Konoha.

"Hmph, are you surprised?"

"Your father is the head of the Hyuga clan. In Konoha, there's nothing your father can't do!"

"Shinichi, as long as it's for your growth, the Hyuga clan is willing to pay any price!"

"A mere sealed book..."

"It's just a small matter!"

Hiashi Hyuga seemed to be planning to make a good impression on his son and wife, and he puffed out his chest even more as he said this.

Shinichi Hyuga displayed amazing talent from a young age. His father rarely had the chance to "show off" in front of Shinichi, but whenever his son made a request, he would do everything he could to get it done!

Hyuga Shinichi naturally noticed Hyuga Hiashi's typical East Asian patriarchal mindset. If it were a native five-year-old child, he probably wouldn't be able to feel Hiashi's love from his behavior.

However, Shinichi Hyuga had witnessed similar parent-child relationships before, so when it came to him, he was still able to feel Hiashi's attention and care for him.

Although the other party's expectations can be a heavy burden to some extent, his personality is ultimately different from Hinata Hyuga's.

Hiashi's expectations for himself actually align with Shinichi's expectations for himself.

Become powerful...

The goals that men pursue are nothing more than power, authority, and wealth. Shinichi Hyuga is no exception. What he craves is the power to control everything!

"Thank you, thank you, Father."

Shinichi Hyuga slowly stood up and bowed slightly to Hiashi Hyuga from the bottom of his heart, expressing his gratitude. Seeing his son's solemn expression, Hiashi was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Uh...."

"Humph!"

"What are you saying! You're the son I'm most proud of!"

Even Hiashi, who is not good at expressing his emotions, couldn't help but reveal his true feelings in this atmosphere. He walked up to Shinichi, gently patted Shinichi's head, and smiled with doting affection.

The setting sun shone through the window and slanted into the room, casting its reflection on the happy family of three.

...

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

“I’m really looking forward to it!”

The following morning, Shinichi Hyuga, led by Hiashi Hyuga, left the Hyuga clan compound and headed towards the Hokage Building.

It had been several months since Shinichi Hyuga last left his clan's territory. At that time, he didn't leave to "sightsee" or "visit" Konoha Village, but to attend the funeral of clan members who had died in the Third Shinobi World War.

Shinichi Hyuga was most familiar with only two places in Konoha: his own clan's territory and the cemetery where the memorial stone was placed.

This trip to the Hokage Building can be seen as him exploring a new map since arriving in this world.

"Shinichi, be polite when you meet the Hokage."

"You can be a little more affectionate with the way you address the Third and Fourth Hokage. After all, you're just a kid, they won't mind."

"Do not spread the word about borrowing the sealed book."

"Remember, no matter how many techniques you memorize from the Book of Sealing, you must not practice any forbidden techniques other than the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"This is for your own good, understand?"

Walking along the streets of Konoha Village, as they approached the Hokage Building, the number of ninjas on the road increased. Many ninjas stopped and bowed to Hiashi and his son upon seeing them. These ninjas included genin, chunin, and even some special jonin.

Hiashi Hyuga did not hold any important positions in the village. He was neither the captain or squad leader of the Anbu, nor the leader of the reconnaissance team, nor the leader of the Jonin team, nor the commander of the Konoha Police Force.

Even so, Hiashi was still well-known to the vast majority of Konoha ninjas and received their courtesy and respect.

Hiashi did not return the salutes of the ninjas who bowed to him, which seemed somewhat arrogant, but the ninjas did not care at all. On the contrary, Hiashi's seemingly arrogant attitude made them even more respectful.

At that moment, all that Hiashi could see was his son.

Before meeting the Hokage, Hiashi Hyuga gave him many instructions, clearly knowing that the techniques in the Scroll of Seals often came with huge, uncontrollable risks.

He was terrified that his son might be drawn to certain ninjutsu techniques in the book and rashly practice them, ruining his life.

"Well, I know."

"Even with the Flying Thunder God Technique, I won't rashly practice it until I understand the principles and the risks."

Shinichi Hyuga nodded seriously in response to Niji's concerns.

Although he never cared about his reputation as a "genius," he didn't want to injure his body and become a useless person by practicing a certain ninjutsu.

Even though he, as a time traveler, could shout, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential."

However, as the head of the main family, if he becomes "useless," he'll probably be caged within a few years, without the thirty years he needed to develop...

Chapter 10: A Big Show and a Quiz!

The Hokage's office was unusually quiet today. In addition to the current Hokage, Minato Namikaze, the previous Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the three advisors of Konoha Village—Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane—were all present.

Shuimen sat behind his desk, while the others sat on the sofa in the office. No one spoke, making the atmosphere in the office somewhat somber.

"Tuk-tuk!"

A moment later, a knock on the door broke the silence in the Hokage's office.

"Come in." After receiving permission from Minato, the office door was pushed open by an ANBU member wearing a cat-face mask.

The newcomer entered the room, ignoring the people on the sofa, and went straight to report to Minato Namikaze:
