Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

Page 178

He has always had a clear understanding of himself. With his Byakugan and terrifying chakra, even after learning and mastering Sage Mode, he could only grow to the level of Hashirama Senju at most.

But that level is definitely not enough.

Shinichi went to great lengths to come to the moon because he wanted to obtain the Tenseigan. In fact, Shinichi was prepared to forcibly take it from her. Fortunately, things didn't turn out the worst way.

Even with the Tenseigan, Shinichi wasn't sure if his power would be enough to handle future changes.

Upon closer reflection, even with the Tenseigan, Toneri couldn't defeat Naruto Uzumaki, who possessed half the power of the Sage of Six Paths.

If we consider Kaguya as a standard member of the Otsutsuki clan in terms of combat strength, Hamura and Hagoromo only divided Kaguya's chakra, while Six Paths Naruto, strictly speaking, only had 1/4 of "Kaguya".

However, Shinichi overlooked the fact that his Tenseigan was different from Toneri's.

Toneri's Tenseigan even showed signs of fetal movement during his battle with Naruto. Not only is it not the final form of the Tenseigan, but Toneri's Tenseigan is simply a product of the fusion of his own chakra and Hanabi's Byakugan power.

Shinichi Hyuga's Tenseigan was formed through his own mutation and the absorption of all the Byakugan power accumulated over the past thousand years by the branch families on the moon.

His and Sheren's power bases were never on the same dimension from the beginning.

Without a comparison, Shinichi no longer has a clear understanding of his own power. Perhaps only Hamura in front of him knows exactly where Shinichi Hyuga's power limit lies.

Compared to Shinichi's "lack of confidence," Hamura was full of confidence in Shinichi, who now possessed the Tenseigan.

"Shinichi Hyuga, I'm entrusting Toner to you."

"I will be here watching over the ninja world my brother created. I believe that the ninja world will develop in the way my brother envisioned."

As he spoke, Hamura Otsutsuki's figure gradually became ethereal, and the surrounding chaos gradually dissipated after Hamura finished speaking.

Instead, there are mounds of graves everywhere and ancient city bricks with mottled surfaces all around.

"Brother, may I address you as such?"

As the young Sheren looked at the endless grave mounds before him, a feeling of sadness welled up inexplicably in his heart. He didn't know what this emotion was called, but at that moment, he subconsciously wanted to find someone to lean on.

Gently grabbing the hem of Shinichi's clothes, Shiro asked somewhat cautiously.

Since his father's death, he has been alone. Although there are many puppets in the Heavenly Palace to keep him company, a puppet is still just a puppet.

Upon seeing Shinichi Hyuga, Toneri felt a genuine sense of familiarity, and now, with the added "ancestor's command," he became even more dependent on Shinichi.

Sheren clearly heard that the ancestor had entrusted himself to the young man before him.

"Is this your elder brother?"

"no!"

Seeing the hopeful look in Shiren's eyes, Shinichi's expression suddenly hardened. Just as Shiren was at a loss and filled with disappointment, Shinichi gently patted Shiren's shoulder and continued:

"Calling me 'elder brother' is too formal. Just call me 'big brother'."

"From today onwards, you are my family."

"He's my own brother!"

Shinichi Hyuga would never allow a child like Toneri to harbor resentment. Toneri was an exceptionally gifted child, and Shinichi even considered whether he could help Toneri develop the Tenseigan.

Of course, the main family's eyes would never be given to the steward. Shinichi maintained respect for both the elders and his own adoptive father.

but...

Isn't there a member of the main family's eye enshrined in the Hyuga clan's shrine today?!

That was the Byakugan that Shinichi Hyuga had taken back from the Kirigakure ninja Ao. It was also the pure Byakugan of the main family, and it should be able to bring about a qualitative change in Toneri as he grew up.

However, plans are plans, and we'll have to wait until Sheren reaches his peak before discussing them. It's too early to talk about it now.

In fact, it is not hard to see from Shinichi's plans for Toneri that he did not actually treat Toneri as an outsider.

Having received Shinichi's sincere answer, Shiten's disappointment vanished. Gently grasping Shinichi's hand, Shiten couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, as if trying to feel the warmth of a living person emanating from Shinichi.

The warmth from his palm lessened the sorrow in Sheren's heart.

Having awakened the Tenseigan, Shinichi Hyuga's perception of people's hearts and minds became countless times stronger. At this moment, he seemed to be able to clearly "see" Toneri's emotional changes.

Without shaking off Shiren, Shinichi gently squeezed Shiren's hand and said softly:

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

Upon hearing this, Sheren's eyes revealed a glimmer of hope. He hadn't heard anyone say the word "go home" to him for countless years.

At this moment, Sheren felt a greater longing and anticipation for the place where he would live in the future.

Figures flickered.

Shinichi Hyuga and Toneri had already appeared in the underground cave. The walls of the passage were inlaid with gems that emitted a blue light. Toneri looked around curiously, only then realizing that he had actually been taken away from the graveyard by Shinichi.

"Is this the power of the Samsara Eye?"

Shinichi Hyuga savored the feeling of using the Flying Thunder God Technique, a sense of surprise welling up inside him.

He had never felt that using space-time ninjutsu was so smooth. Neither he nor his companions felt any strangeness from the spatial jumps.

Now, Shinichi Hyuga uses the Flying Thunder God Technique as easily and naturally as breathing, just like Kaguya uses Amanomika. It's as if Shinichi and Toneri aren't jumping through space, but rather that space has come to the location where Shinichi and the others are!

While Shiren was still wondering where they were, Shinichi had already figured it out and led Shiren to a cold pool. Without waiting for Shiren to prepare, he led him into the water.

The passage between Earth and the Moon is this icy pool. The moment Toneri stepped into the pool, he was also disturbed by illusions, and his childhood experiences and memories flashed through his mind.

Sherman's childhood was unfortunate; loneliness and despair shrouded his life.

However, just as he was immersed in his unfortunate life, the illusion suddenly disappeared, and Shinichi Hyuga's gentle smile appeared before him.

"Big brother..."

For some reason, seeing Shinichi's face calmed her down, and as she called out to Shinichi, she tightened her grip.

Ultimately, Sheren is nothing more than a lonely child lacking security.

Such children are prone to extremes, but at the same time, they only need a little bit of sunshine and warmth, and they will do everything in their power to protect the "sun" that gives them sunshine and warmth!

Without a doubt, Shinichi Hyuga today is the sun in Toneri's life!

...

A waterfall somewhere within the Land of Fire.

"Oh!"

As large waves rose from the pool beneath the waterfall, Shinichi Hyuga and Toneri emerged from the icy water.

Having passed through the passage, they had returned to Earth.

This place is near the Land of Iron, and it is the height of winter.

As Toneri emerged from the water, he shivered, clearly unaccustomed to the climate and feeling the biting cold. Just then, Shinichi used his chakra to remove the moisture from Toneri's body and took out a cloak from his storage space to gently wrap it around Toneri's body.

At the same time, Shinichi's gentle voice also reached Toneri's ears:

"The climate of the ninja world is different from the underground world of the moon."

"Once you get used to it, you might like snowy days."

Earth's extreme climate is obviously incomparable to the artificial underground world of the moon. However, what is difficult for ordinary people to adapt to is not a problem for someone like Sheren.

Even... the cold of the snowy day gave Sheren an indescribable sense of novelty.

Shinichi Hyuga clearly didn't intend to bring Toneri back to Konoha directly. He planned to take this opportunity to let Toneri, this "little alien," experience the local customs and culture of the ninja world, and at the same time, he wanted to use this time to strengthen his relationship with Toneri.

Since he had already promised Hamura to take good care of Toneri, Shinichi would naturally treat Toneri as his own family member. He would do his best to guide Toneri and help him grow into a well-rounded person.

Before that, Shinichi Hinata needed to ensure that he held a certain place in Toneri's heart, and creating a space for the two of them to spend time together was extremely important.

The village of Konoha is rife with factions; who knows what Toneri will encounter in the future?!

To prevent the young and naive Toneri from being misled by those with ulterior motives, Shinichi Hyuga must first become Toneri's most trusted person. As long as Toneri trusts Shinichi from the bottom of his heart, he will tell Shinichi everything, big or small, so Shinichi will be able to detect in advance what others are doing to Toneri.

Of course, Shinichi's worries may be unnecessary. Perhaps Konoha no longer has the breeding ground for schemers under the Fourth Hokage's consolidation. But for Shinichi, it's always good to be on guard.

...

On the ice field.

Two figures, one large and one small, were walking across the vast ice field, leaving two long tracks as they passed.

Shinichi Hyuga and Toneri had been walking for several hours but had not yet managed to get out of the frozen zone. However, the wind and snow here had lessened considerably compared to before.

The servant was wrapped tightly in his cloak, his eyebrows and forehead covered in frost, making him look somewhat disheveled.

Despite walking for so long, Sheren showed no signs of fatigue. On the contrary, he appeared inexplicably excited, his boots stomping heavily in the snow with each step, as if deliberately leaving his footprints.

Just as Shinichi Hinata had said before, Toneri, who had quickly adapted to the snowy weather, began to find his own fun in the boring journey. He had come to like the snowy days.

Despite the extreme cold outside, he felt no intense chill while wrapped in his cloak. This stark contrast gave him an indescribable sense of security.

He glanced sideways at Shinichi Hyuga, who was traveling with him, and Toneri unconsciously broke into a bright smile, feeling an even stronger sense of security deep within him.

Shinichi Hyuga could clearly sense the emotional changes in Toneri's heart. Although he didn't know why the kid was inexplicably happy, Toneri felt that being happy was always a good thing.

Traveling across the icy plains wasn't exactly an interesting experience for Shinichi, but strangely, Toneri seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. Shinichi thought perhaps the child hadn't interacted with people in so long that he was always happy whenever he had the chance to be with someone.

In the permafrost region, it gets dark very quickly.
