I'm reposting, I got Hiashi and Hizashi's names wrong, I hope I got the chapter right this time.

[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]

Third Person POV

Konoha, Year 36.

...

...

The group gathered a bit away from the gate, as the jonins began with the introductions.

Jiraiya looked at everyone and started with me. "As you all already know, I am Jiraiya and will be the leader of this mission. I'll be with my squad of genins, and another newly formed team will accompany us." He looked at everyone before continuing. "For all of them, it's their first mission, so a bit of patience with the novices." Jiraiya spoke and returned to the children. "You, however, must follow my command and the guidance of your own teachers. It might be your first mission, but it's an S-level mission, which could affect the war that Konoha is currently waging at this moment with all nations, so there is no room for failure." He said in a more serious tone, something he wasn't used to doing. He turned back to the 6 jonins who were summoned. "Now you, before the sensei and the children."

"I'm Jirion Uchiha, we will work together." He said with an arrogant tone.

"I'm Veiur Kol, from a civilian family." Another spoke.

"Kurel Nara, we'll be together." Minato heard the member of the Nara clan, at least this one didn't seem as lazy as his former classmate.

"Lortu Hatake." A jonin with short white hair spoke while keeping a huge sword on his back.

"Rate Senju." The fifth spoke, and Minato looked surprised to see a Senju, not remembering having met him before, after all, they were quite scarce now.

"Pery Sharti, civilian." Said the last one, seeming a bit shy.

Jiraiya nodded and returned to the group with the sensei and another 3 genins. "Good, now your turn."

"Mai Hyuuga, sensei and specialized in tracking like my team." He spoke and turned back to the children.

"Hiashi Hyuuga."

"Hizashi Hyuuga."

"Tsume Inuzuka."

The 3 quickly stated their names, while the Hyuugas maintained a firm posture and discipline, the future mother of Kiba almost growling as she spoke.

Minato also noted how Hanabi seemed a bit uncomfortable with the presence of other Hyuugas but tried not to show it superficially.

"Now my students." Jiraiya looked at them.

"Mikoto Uchiha."

"Hanabi Hyuuga."

"Minato Namikaze."

After the introductions, Jiraiya made hand signs and hit the ground with a toad appearing after the smoke, the summon crossed its arms and opened its mouth while a scroll came out of its tongue to Jiraiya.

"How disgusting..." Mikoto murmured softly while no one else made comments.

"As you know, we have an important mission, it seems there are many ninjas infiltrated in the country of fire, our goal is to stop them before they launch an attack directly on the capital, after all, their target is our Daimyō." Jiraiya concluded while everyone nodded, seeing the seriousness of the mission.

Jiraiya took out a map beside the scroll and placed it on the ground as he began pointing his finger at various strategic points in the country of fire where they could begin their searches. "The Hokage and I started to analyze the best places to begin our searches, so we're heading north, in this area." Jiraiya pointed to the region near the capital city.

As soon as everyone nodded, Jiraiya began to lead the group after his summon left and started jumping between the trees heading for the first location.

The journey was smooth without anything unusual, the jonins conversed among themselves, Mikoto and Hanabi remained silent while they continued on the path.

They stopped as night had arrived, setting up a camp to spend the night in the forest, "Look around the area and see if you find any activity." Jiraiya spoke to the Jonins and returned to the genins, "You hunt something to eat." He said, and everyone nodded.

"Hey, Hanabi, how about a competition? You seem to have gotten a lot stronger since you earned the right to enter the Elite class." Hiashi commented with an arrogant tone bordering on hostile.

Minato looked at that a bit surprised, he knew that the future patriarch was quite arrogant in the class, and Minato had beaten him up many times because of it, but he had never been hostile like he was at this moment with Hanabi or anyone else.

"..." Hanabi remained silent upon hearing those words, as she had been criticized a lot lately within the clan.

Minato noticed something strange, "Do you really want a competition here? What for? And is that how you talk to a mission comrade?" Minato intervened, speaking calmly while looking seriously at the Hyuuga.

Hiashi looked a bit surprised at Minato's interference, becoming somewhat cautious, after all, he couldn't deal with the top newcomer, but still, he held his chin up. "You have nothing to do with Hyuuga affairs, Minato," He said.

"Maybe not, but we are on an S-level mission together and you should treat my comrade well, so I will warn just once," Minato spoke while only the 6 genins were alone.

"Hiashi, you can stop being arrogant, you know you will get beaten up by Minato," Tsume said, keeping a bored look to his side.

His brother, Hizashi, kept a watchful eye on Minato, to protect his older brother.

Hiashi seemed to have gotten irritated by these words. "He's not from the Hyuuga clan, he doesn't have a say in this and all Hyuugas here must protect me," He said, and before he could respond, his face sank as Minato appeared with a yellow flash, making the Hyuuga fall backwards.

Minato was tired of hearing these things, especially seeing Hiashi being so arrogant while they were alone. Minato never had much contact with the Hyuugas except for Hanabi, since at all the celebrations they held among the students, the Hyuugas didn't participate in any, preferring to isolate themselves from the rest.

Now that they were finally out of the academy, he didn't like his attitude much and punched him after hearing such words, after all, he didn't want someone spoiled on such an important mission.

Before Hizashi and Hanabi could react, since they were supposed to protect the main family member, Hiashi was sent back knocked out, rolling on the ground until he stopped.

"Minato..." Mikoto murmured to that, especially seeing Minato unleash his power for the first time, wondering what he did, one moment he was by her side, the next, punching the Hyuuga.

"Tell that arrogant when he wakes up, that he must remember we are in the middle of a mission and must work together, not dwell on 'any internal conflict they have,'" Minato spoke fiercely and looked at his comrades, while everyone was surprised by it some more by what Minato used while he shone than by Hiashi fallen on the ground.

"Let's go hunting," Minato spoke while walking away, Mikoto followed him, and Hanabi looked at the main clan member before jumping to follow them.

"Aren't you being a bit hypocritical by hitting him on such an important mission?" Mikoto commented on the side.

"Maybe, but I don't like that kind of attitude, this guy clearly likes to step on others, and you Hanabi, why did he act with you that way?" Minato asked, since Hiashi was not like that with her in the academy.

She was a bit silent and decided to speak. "When we graduated, the clan was not very pleased with a member of the main lineage participating in a tracking team, while I ended up entering the team of the Hokage's student, Jiraiya-Sensei," She admitted.

The elders of the clan even pressured her grandfather, who is also from the second family, the elders who remained in Konoha did not like the fact that one of their candidates to be patriarch in the future, was assigned to something less prominent than a member of the secondary house, after all, Hanabi was teamed up with the top genius and one of the 3 students of the Hokage. The Hokage was pressured the same day the teams were announced, wanting Hiashi to be in a more prominent team and not participate in something like a tracking team, but Hiruzen did not yield, in summary, it was Jiraiya himself who created the team, not being able to pick Kushina or Tsuna, he chose the team focused only on Minato, picking other teammates that he already had some close relationship with from what he could see while observing the boy's daily life.

"What nonsense..." Minato commented with a hostile tone. "Anyway, let me know if he continues to act like this," He finished.

"Minato, you can't act like this... there are consequences..." Hanabi spoke cautiously.

"I don't mind fighting with the Hyuuga clan if it means protecting my teammate," He spoke in a serious tone.

"You can't be serious..." Mikoto spoke with a questioning tone.

"Of course, I am, and I'll space everyone in that clan if necessary, believe me," He finished and continued jumping between the trees in one direction while sensing an animal he could catch.

Mikoto remained silent while Hanabi was quite surprised but grateful in her heart, she activated her Byakugan and saw Minato act as if he had one too as he easily found a wild pig, throwing a kunai at its vital point for a quick death.

Minato landed in front of the dead animal while opening a scroll to store it. "That was quite fast..." Mikoto murmured, feeling somewhat useless here.

"Let's get a few more," Minato said as his observation haki scanned the whole area and found some rabbits.

"You could have accepted that Hyuuga's challenge, you seem to find anything here..." Mikoto couldn't help but comment as Minato caught 3 more rabbits in less than 3 minutes.

"How can you do that?! I knew you had that kind of sensor, but seeing it now in practice, it seems even better than my Byakugan..." Hanabi couldn't help but comment as she saw Minato hunt everything easily.

"Minato is always full of secrets, but taking advantage of the questions, how did you move shining at that moment? No one could react to that..." Mikoto spoke, remembering the punch the boy gave the arrogant Hyuuga, she knew he wasn't using that teleportation jutsu.

Hanabi remained silent about that, she saw Minato transform parts of his body into light at any damage he received, but she didn't know he could move so fast.

"I have unique abilities, I shouldn't even use that here, but since I did, I can say that one day you'll know," Minato spoke, he was sure that his demonstration wouldn't let many beyond those who saw know what he did, and he could say he used the Raijin at worst, after all, he was taken by anger at that moment, that's why he acted as he did.

"Now let's go back, I want to eat something after traveling all day," Minato said as they headed to the camp, arriving at the site, there was Jiraiya talking with the Hyuuga sensei and the Nara jonin while analyzing the map for the mission.

Minato approached while handing the storage scroll to Jiraiya, "You came back quickly, how about preparing the food?" Jiraiya commented with a smile.

Minato sighed since he was reduced to a cook and he wouldn't have help while Mikoto and Hanabi were drooling, already knowing they would eat the blonde's cooking.

Raccoon here:

I made the chapter based on how I believe Hiashi would act, after all, Hanabi would get a lot of attention being on team 7 and even the elders didn't like that in the clan. Hiashi should act a bit out of jealousy, after all, he was an important member before developing his more tolerant personality in the future.
