Chapter 106 The Leader's Pursuit! (Please Subscribe)

That same night, after receiving Hiashi Hyuga's letter, Shinichi Hyuga sought out his great-grandfather, who had already returned to the clan, to discuss the matter.

Shinichi also expressed his desire to go to the battlefield to gain combat experience in front of Shinichi Hyuga, and the target of this attack was Ao, the Mist Ninja known as the "Hyuga Killer".

Hyuga Shin, as a clan elder, was very clear about the information regarding Qing. He thought that Hyuga Hiashi personally leading the clan members to attack would be able to successfully reclaim the Byakugan, but he did not expect that even Hiashi at his current peak could not succeed.

Hiashi's letter indicated his desire for his younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi, to take over the mission, but Hyuga Shin understood that if Hiashi couldn't accomplish it, Hyuga Hizashi probably couldn't either.

Admittedly, in terms of talent, Hizashi might be slightly more talented than the other twins, but that's all in the past. After becoming the heir to the main family, Hiashi was taught many of the main family's secret techniques, and his actual combat strength has long surpassed that of Hizashi.

It's just that Hiashi Hyuga has been stuck in the past and has never realized this.

From the perspective of whether the mission can be accomplished, Hyuga Shin doesn't think that Hyuga Hizashi can achieve good results by replacing Hiashi.

However, now that Shinichi Hyuga has volunteered, Shinichi Hyuga has fallen into deep thought.

Although Shinichi is young, he has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and has space-time ninjutsu at his disposal, so his combat strength cannot be judged simply by his age.

Moreover, Shinichi Hyuga has witnessed Shinichi's training progress in recent years. Although he has never seen Shinichi in action, judging from Shinichi's victory over Danzo, his combat ability is definitely not weaker than Hiashi Hyuga's.

Furthermore, the existence of the Flying Thunder God makes Shinichi's battles more dynamic. Even when facing enemies stronger than himself, the presence of the Flying Thunder God offers the possibility of turning the tide, which is something that must be considered.

On the other hand, it also takes into account Shinichi's growth in strength. Staying in the clan's territory to cultivate might allow Shinichi to grow stronger, but he would ultimately be a flower in a greenhouse.

Shin Hyuga had experienced several Shinobi World Wars at his age, and throughout his life, he had seen many powerful ninjas, a large portion of whom had experience on the battlefield in their childhood.

A ninja's growth is ultimately inseparable from the real battlefield.

Among all these considerations, Shinichi's safety was not Shinichi's primary concern.

Looking at the entire Hyuga clan, and even the entire Konoha, if Shinichi, who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, cannot escape, then no matter who the Hyuga clan sends, they will not be able to successfully retrieve the Byakugan.

The Flying Thunder God Technique alone caused Shinichi Hyuga's assessment of Shinichi to change 180 degrees.

"Shinichi, you should think this through. The battlefield is a battlefield after all, and even for you, there are huge risks."

"Stay peacefully within the clan, and one day you will be able to successfully inherit the Hyuga name."

"But if you fall on the battlefield... everything will be for naught."

Shinichi Hinata felt that Shinichi was too young and might not be so resolute, so after thinking it over, he decided to try to persuade him first.

"Grandpa, I've made my decision, and I hope you can support me."

“If I were to tell my father, he would absolutely not agree.”

“But Grandpa, you’re different. You know my power and you understand that if you want to take back the Byakugan, it has to be me.”

"Moreover... it's not just about gaining combat experience; taking back the Byakugan is the main family's responsibility, isn't it?"

When Shinichi Hyuga was talking to Shinichi Hyuga, he revealed another thought in his heart.

Shinichi wanted to have more say in the clan, and in some cases, he even wanted his say to be greater than that of Hyuga Hiashi, the clan leader.

Only in this way could he have a chance to completely break the caged bird's control over the Hyuga family.

However, it is foreseeable that the Hyuga clan will not change its head of the family in the short term. Not to mention that Shinichi is still young, Hiashi is in his prime. Even when Shinichi comes of age, Hiashi will only be in his forties, which is the peak of a man's life.

If Shinichi wants to change Hinata, he must seize control of the discourse.

The task of reclaiming the Byakugan can also indirectly establish Shinichi's authority.

He accomplished something that even the clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga, couldn't do. Isn't that very convincing?

Having understood Shinichi's thoughts, Shinichi Hyuga nodded solemnly.

“Shinichi, you know I’ve never treated you like an ordinary child.”

"Since you've made up your mind, I'll support you."

"No need to wait for Riji to return. I'll give you a day to prepare. The day after tomorrow morning, you will lead your elite troops into battle."

"If Hiashi comes back, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

"As for the Hokage, I will inform him. Reclaiming the Byakugan is, after all, a matter for the Hyuga clan, and the Fourth Hokage will not object."

"The clan can only assign you a maximum of twenty guards right now."

"Take these people with you first. I will write to the Hyuga branch family at the front. Once you arrive, you will be in command of all the Hyuga on the Kirigakure front."

"I will have Hizashi accompany you. If there is anything you don't understand on the battlefield, or anything you need to pay attention to, listen to Hizashi's advice."

"Although you are from the main family and Hizashi is from the branch family, he has more experience in war. You must humbly listen to his advice."

Shinichi Hyuga agreed to Shinichi's request, and knowing that his grandson was going to the battlefield, he shared some of his experience, hoping that his words would be helpful to Shinichi.

"Yes, I know."

"I won't act recklessly."

"In the event of an unexpected situation, I will use the Flying Thunder God Technique to move my people to safety immediately."

Faced with Shinichi Hinata's earnest admonition, Shinichi also corrected his attitude.

He will not underestimate any opponent, and he will always prioritize his own safety.

"Okay, you should get some rest. I'll take care of the rest."

...

That night, Shinichi not only told Shinichi Hinata about his thoughts, but also informed his mother Hanako in advance.

Hanako was quite surprised to learn that her son had received Shinichi's permission to leave the clan and take on the task of reclaiming the Byakugan. After a fierce internal struggle, she ultimately did not choose to stop Shinichi, but simply told him to be careful and to come home as soon as possible after completing the mission.

Shinichi was, after all, a ninja. Hanako knew early on that there would be a day when she would send her son to the battlefield, but that day came far too soon.

The next day, Shinichi told his companions about his next move. They were all surprised to learn that Shinichi was leaving so soon.

None of them expected that the Hyuga clan would act so quickly and make such a decisive decision.

Kakashi and Shisui were both seasoned ninjas, familiar with such moments of parting. Itachi, on the other hand, felt a pang of reluctance; he cherished the time spent with his friends.

However reluctant he was, the moment of parting finally arrived.

Another day.

Early in the morning, the Hyuga clan's elite troops secretly gathered within the clan. Shinichi Hyuga took off his usual training clothes and changed into a tight-fitting black outfit. In addition to carrying a ninja tool bag, Shinichi also found a handy short sword from the storeroom to use as his weapon.

Shinichi is not skilled in swordsmanship, and he only uses a sword for occasional needs.

Shinichi Hyuga assigned Shinichi a 20-person bodyguard team. Although the number was small, they were all elites.

People like Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Keisuke are among the best in their clan. Even if such a bloodline limit team were deployed to the front lines, they would still be able to cause quite a stir.

Before his departure, there was no inspiring speech. Shinichi Hinata simply clarified Shinichi's leading role and then explained the mission of the trip.

Upon learning that the purpose of their trip was to help Shinichi retract his Byakugan, the way the clansmen looked at Shinichi changed.

I thought it was just escorting the clan to go on a "spring outing," but I never expected it to be such a mission.

Hearing that the clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga, had just failed to retrieve his Byakugan and was injured while on his way back to Konoha, the main clan immediately dispatched a new group of people to carry out the operation.

And the leader is none other than the young Shinichi.

However, the clansmen did not think that Shinichi, who was leading the team, was making a crazy decision just because he was young.

In fact, all the clansmen present had witnessed Shinichi and Danzo's battle firsthand, and they knew very well that this young head of the clan was no fool.

This mission is truly about killing people!

The rations, marching maps, and other supplies were carried by Hyuga Hizashi, Keisuke, and others. After assembling within the clan, the group hurriedly left Konoha under the faint light of dawn.

No relatives or friends saw them off. This time, only the Hokage and the Hyuga clan knew about the Hyuga's departure. Even once they left the village, no one else could track their whereabouts.

...

The guard team consisted of twenty people, making a total of 21 people including Shinichi.

Thanks to the existence of the Flying Thunder God, Shinichi's commands can be accurately delivered to everyone through the Flying Thunder God.

To facilitate operations and expand the vigilance area, Shinichi divided the 21 people into 5 teams.

His team consisted of Shinichi himself, Hizashi, Keisuke, Kazutaka, and Mio. These were Shinichi's four most trusted men and his personal bodyguards.

The remaining 16 people were divided into four teams of four, each with a team leader. During the operation, they were positioned in the front, back, left, and right directions of Shinichi's main team.

The Byakugan's normal detection range is limited to one kilometer, and the teams maintained this distance as they sped towards Kirigakure.

The Hyuga clan deployed their elite forces this time, moving swiftly. Thanks to the Flying Thunder God technique, Shinichi's orders were accurately delivered to each team, and their feedback could be directly communicated to Keisuke and Hizashi, who were monitoring their situation, via hand gestures.

Although it was their first time working together under Shinichi, their teamwork was remarkably smooth.

At dawn, the morning mist was thick.

After nearly two weeks of travel, Shinichi Hyuga and his group finally approached the border of the Land of Fire.

For the first few days after leaving the village, Shinichi Hyuga and his group moved very quickly, but their speed slowed down considerably after they made contact with the Hyuga clan ninjas on the front lines.
