Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

Despite the passage of many years, Kushina's training remains completely relaxed.

To prevent this situation from escalating and hindering Kushina's substitution, Minato specially invited back his teacher, Jiraiya, hoping that Jiraiya could take his place, train Kushina, and help her master the power of the Nine-Tails.

For Jiraiya, who had no children, Minato was like his son, and Kushina was like his daughter-in-law. Faced with Minato's request, even though he longed for freedom and was searching for his destined child while gathering materials outside, Jiraiya still chose to return to the village.

For Kushina's sake, Minato considered the matter several times. Not only did he invite Jiraiya back to the village, but he also poached Yamato, the Wood Release user currently in the Anbu, from the Third Hokage's side.

At the same time, Shisui, the legendary genius ninja of Konoha known for his Body Flicker Technique, was also recalled by Minato from the Mist Ninja region.

In Minato's view, both the Sharingan and Wood Release were powerful abilities capable of suppressing the Nine-Tails' power. Yamato and Shisui were the two people Minato chose to assist Jiraiya and help Kushina control the tailed beast.

Based on these three, the cautious Minato decided to add another layer of protection to Kushina's training. A letter of inquiry, personally written by Minato, was delivered to the Hyuga family that evening.

The recipient of Minato's letter was not Hiashi Hyuga, the current head of the Hyuga clan, but rather his reclusive son, Shinichi Hyuga.

"A letter of visit from the Fourth Hokage?"

"What are you doing for me?"

When Shinichi received the letter, he was puzzled. Such a formal social letter should be addressed to Hiashi. He had a personal relationship with the Yondai family, and they could discuss any private matters privately.

However, after he opened the letter and read its contents, he quickly understood why Minato would communicate with him in this way.

Because assisting the Jinchuriki in their training is not a private matter, but a serious official matter.

Unlike Shisui and Yamato, who can be dispatched at any time, as members of the Hyuga main family, even the Hokage's appointments must be discussed with them before a decision can be made.

Moreover, assisting a Jinchuriki in their training carries enormous risks, and the Hyuga clan would most likely not allow the main branch to take such a risk. Minato's purpose in writing to Shinichi was actually to avoid the main branch members, Hiashi and Shinichi.

The ninja who delivered the message waited for a reply at the entrance of the Hyuga clan's territory, and Shinichi naturally agreed to the task after a brief moment of thought.

Helping Kushina master the Tailed Beasts would be of great benefit to both Konoha and the Hyuga clan.

Shinichi had no reason to refuse, especially since Jiraiya was in charge of this mission, and Shinichi trusted the Toad Sage Jiraiya.

Shinichi even thought of taking this opportunity to deepen his relationship with the Minato family and Jiraiya, and see if he would have the chance to learn Sage Mode in the future.

There aren't many techniques in the ninja world that Shinichi would value, but Sage Mode is one of them!

As dusk fell, the sky was filled with crimson clouds.

Hinata Hyuga seemed very happy after school. Before she even entered the house, her conversation with Hanako could be heard in the yard.

Hiashi Hyuga "happened" to be taking a walk in the courtyard when he heard the sound outside the door. He looked over with delight and followed the direction of the sound.

Hinata and Hanako stepped over the threshold and saw their father in the courtyard. Hinata let go of Hanako's hand, ran a few steps and jumped into Hiashi's arms, saying in a spoiled tone, "Father, why didn't you come to pick me up after school?"

Hearing her daughter's "complaints," Rizu gently picked her up and comforted her, "I'm busy with some things this afternoon, so I can't go with Mom."

"How was it? Did you enjoy your first day at the Ninja Academy?"

The Hyuga family has a harmonious atmosphere, and Hiashi and Hinata have a very close relationship. Hiashi himself has the traditional "patriarchal" personality and is the kind of person who loves his children.

Now, Hinata, as the second daughter, no longer needs to bear the pressure of inheriting the Hyuga main family. For this daughter who is destined to become a branch family member in the future, Hiashi's greatest hope for her is that she can grow up happily and healthily.

Therefore, from Hinata's birth until now, Hiashi has never demanded that Hinata train diligently or do anything else. This daughter has been pampered and loved by Hiashi and Hanako since she was a child.

In such a family environment, Hinata developed an optimistic and cheerful personality.

Thanks to Shinichi's excellent son, Hiashi Hyuga has become increasingly relaxed in recent years. The conflicts between Konoha and the surrounding villages have gradually subsided, the situation within Konoha is stable, and the Hyuga clan has a worthy successor.

For Hiashi, his life goals are almost fulfilled, and he has also done an excellent job as the clan leader. At this stage, he naturally has the leisure to enjoy time with his children and be able to accompany Hinata and Hanabi as they grow up.

It's only natural to care about my daughter's school life.

"like!"

"The students at the Ninja Academy are all very friendly, and Iruka-sensei is also a very gentle person."

"I like studying at the Ninja Academy."

It's quite rare that Hinata, at her age, doesn't dislike school life. Hearing that Hinata enjoys school, Hiashi Hyuga chuckled in surprise.

"If you like it, that's good. You should get along well with your friends."

"Don't bully others because of your family's glory. Get along well with your classmates and help each other."

"Of course, if you are bullied, you don't have to suffer in silence. As long as you do the right thing, your father will stand up for you."

Hiashi Hyuga actually had some understanding of Hinata's personality. He wasn't worried about Hinata being bullied by others, but rather he was somewhat concerned that Hinata would abuse her power.

Although Hinata is kind by nature, in a place like the Ninja Academy where all sorts of people mingle, it's hard to guarantee that no one will mislead her.

Often, bullying in schools is caused by a group of children influencing and instigating each other during their interactions. Children are often sensitive about their reputation and may do things that violate their own values ​​in order to prove a point.

If this behavior is not corrected, it will escalate until the perpetrator is consumed by the pleasure of violence.

Hiashi knew that Hinata and Naruto got along very well. Those children all had special identities, especially those who were easily flattered. He needed to be particularly careful in this regard.

To avoid such a situation, school education is one aspect, but family education is also of paramount importance.

Hiashi wasn't sure if the Hokage family was strict with Naruto's upbringing; what he needed to do was to ensure Hinata had the ability to think independently.

"Hey, I know."

"I have never bullied any of the other children in the class."

"Although I didn't control my strength well during the live-fire exercise and hurt a girl, I apologized for it."

"Besides, the battle was arranged by Teacher Iruka, and I didn't want to fight her."

Hinata thought her father's habitual lecturing was "implied" and that he was criticizing her for making a girl named Sakura cry at school, so she quickly explained.

"Well?"

Hiashi clearly didn't expect that his casual remark would actually lead to him learning some things about Hinata's life at school from her.

Upon hearing that Hinata had participated in some kind of combat exercise and had even hit other children, Hiashi couldn't help but glance at Hanako.

Hanako picked up her child from school today. Given Hanako's sensitive nature, she would definitely ask the teacher about her child's performance at school. Hiashi wanted to know exactly what had happened.

"Teacher Iruka probably wanted to assess these children's abilities. Although it was only the first day of school, he organized a practical exercise among the students."

"Hinata also took to the field. Her opponent was a kid named Sakura Haruno, and Hinata won decisively."

"It's just that Sakura Haruno probably wasn't born into a ninja clan and didn't receive much training, so she was beaten and cried. But she wasn't seriously injured."

"I have asked Iruka-sensei to convey my apologies, and I also plan to buy some things to send to the Haruno family as a way of expressing our apologies."

Hiashi and Hanako's relationship is a standard traditional couple's relationship. Although Hanako is a typical full-time housewife, she is responsible for everything related to their children's education. As for Hinata, Hanako has already made proper plans and arrangements.

"Oh."

"There's nothing wrong with being generous when giving gifts."

"Just don't let people think that the Hyuga clan is bullying others."

Hanako's arrangements were meticulous, which put Hiashi at ease. Even he couldn't match his wife's expertise in these matters.

"Hinata, be careful when you're with your friends. Not all children have received the training you've had."

"It's never good to hurt someone."

As Hiashi spoke, he carried Hinata into the house. It was dinnertime, and the kitchen had prepared dinner, just waiting for Hanako and Hinata to arrive so they could start eating.

Upon arriving at the restaurant and seeing the empty seats, Hiashi instructed the maid to go to the dojo to call his son for dinner.

This is considered a "regular activity" for their family. No matter how busy Hiashi and Shinichi are, they still have to eat dinner together. During the meal, they can chat, find out what their family members have been up to that day, and deepen their bonds and feelings for each other.

When Shinichi arrived at the restaurant, Hiashi, Hanako, Hinata, and the others were already seated. Seeing Shinichi arrive, Hiashi's face lit up with a broad smile. As soon as Shinichi sat down, Hiashi asked:

"Shinichi, I heard the Fourth Hokage sent you a letter this afternoon? What was it about?"

Family meals are served individually, with each person having their own food at the table. Hiashi asked as he picked up his bowl and chopsticks.

Normally, one shouldn't talk while eating or sleeping; the rule is not to talk during meals. But there's nothing we can do about it, as this is when their family is most together, and afterwards everyone basically goes about their own business.

Shinichi is a diligent person, and even Hiashi can't say much about it. As the clan leader, Hiashi would never say anything to Shinichi like "spend less time training and more time chatting with your family."

They were both men, and they were well aware of the heavy responsibilities they carried. In this respect, Hiashi was very understanding of his son's busy schedule.

This kind of family environment means that they can only chat and have heart-to-heart talks during mealtimes.

Hiashi was aware that the Fourth Hokage had privately sought out Shinichi. He cared about everything concerning Shinichi and naturally wanted to know why the Fourth Hokage had contacted him.

"I've been invited to become Kushina-sensei's bodyguard ninja."

"Kushina-sensei is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The Fourth Hokage hoped that Kushina-sensei could master the power of the Tailed Beast, so he wanted to organize some people to assist Kushina-sensei in her training."

"The person in charge of this matter is Jiraiya-sama, one of the three."

"Besides him, the guard team also includes Yamato, who uses Wood Release ninjutsu, and my good friend Shisui."

"Including me, the four of us are now assisting Kushina-sensei in her training."

As Shinichi recounted his story, Hiashi's brows furrowed, and his hands paused in their movements.

"To assist the Jinchūriki in controlling the power of the Tailed Beasts?"

"Isn't this too risky?"

"You agreed?"
