Namikaze Minato weaved through the bustling streets, his movements and precise control of Chakra allowing him to move with incredible speed while keeping the lunchbox perfectly still.
A smile crept across his lips. "The Lord Hokage's meal? That sounds wonderful. I'll be seeing the Lord Hokage soon! I'm a little excited," Namikaze Minato thought to himself.
As he passed through a dark alley, he saw a little red-haired girl being mocked and humiliated by a group of boys.
"Haha, look at her, Rou Rou and weak, she looks like a good girl."
"Hehe, little lady, don't move, let your brother take care of you!"
"Are you crazy? We're robbing you! Robbery! If we get caught trying to Shuriken! You two better shut up."
This man was clearly quite experienced; he was the oldest and most experienced of the three robbers. The real bad guys are those who know the law well and are probably animals who only think with their lower bodies.
This little girl's hair clearly indicates she belongs to the Uzumaki Clan. They've observed her for a long time; she seems like a very obedient girl. Even if they robbed her, she wouldn't dare tell anyone!
But what they didn't know was that the red-haired girl had deliberately led them here to teach them a lesson.
"Who... who are you people?" the red-haired girl asked, trembling.
"We just want to borrow some money from you. If you know what's good for you, hand it over." The man who had started the mockery grinned.
"That's right, if you hand it over honestly, you can avoid physical pain!" The second lewd man narrowed his eyes, clearly still harboring wicked intentions. He was somewhat expecting the red-haired girl to resist so he could take advantage of her for a while.
"Second Brother Third Brothers, stop talking nonsense! Even though this is a dark alley, we never know when someone might come. Hurry up and grab the stuff and get out of here. After all, we're not ninjas, so we have to be quick! Prepare time to escape and leave Konoha!" the eldest brother said in a deep voice.
Namikaze Minato, carrying a food box, hid in the shadows. With a quick glance, he overheard the entire conversation of the three robbers. He looked at the food box in his hand and the watch on his wrist, hesitated for a moment, but then his eyes hardened.
He leaped onto the roof, placing the food box there. Then, he lay prone on the roof, looking down with a glint of cunning in his eyes! Now!
Just as that wicked robber licked his lips and charged towards the red-haired girl, Minato moved!
Golden hair flashed by. Although he didn't have the Flying Thunder God Technique, he was appreciated by Shimura Danzō, who taught him the Body Flicker Technique. His Chakra were relatively low, so he could only use it 2 to 3 times.
But that's enough. Dealing with three adults who aren't ninjas is a piece of cake!
The red-haired girl, who was about to intervene, suddenly noticed something. Her Mind's Eye of the Kagura sensed that someone on the rooftop was using Chakra. Although it was weak, she was certain that it was someone coming to save her.
Therefore, she merely channeled her Chakra into her hands as a precaution.
Whoosh! Namikaze Minato appeared in front of the girl, his right hand gathering wind-style Chakra. "Wind Release: Gale Palm!" Colorless wind-style Chakra burst forth from his hand, striking the Third Brother in the abdomen.
Whoosh! The evil Third Brother was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and flew out of the dark alley, crashing into the vendor's cart across the street with a thud, knocking it over!
The vendor's face fell; these oranges were imported from the Land of Lightning, and now he didn't know how much he would lose!
The loud noise caught the attention of the Police Force. Hizashi Hyuga's eyes narrowed as he looked in the direction from which the person had flown out. He activated his Byakugan!
The world turned black and white, and he could see through the houses that Namikaze Minato was standing in front of a little girl, staring intently at the two adult men opposite him.
Those two men... hiss... they look familiar. Aren't they the Three Robbers of Konoha? He quickly ran towards the alley!
"Third Brother!" the Second Brother shouted towards the alleyway. The eldest brother's face darkened. "Idiot! Doesn't he know how strong Konoha is? This is bad!"
If you really won't listen, then give up on the Third Brother. Although we swore to die on the same day, month, and year, given the current situation, all I can do is take care of your wife and children, so you don't need to worry about it anymore!
"Second Brother! Come with me!" The eldest brother grabbed the Second Brother's arm and said in a deep voice.
"But, Third Brother..." Before he could finish speaking, the eldest brother slapped him across the face. "If you don't run now, think of your parents, think of your wife and children!"
These words brought the Second Brother back to reality from his sense of loyalty! He glanced at his eldest brother and said, "Fine! But I'm going to avenge the Third Brother!" He then turned to look at Namikaze Minato.
"To have learned such Ninjutsu at such a young age is truly impressive! But you probably only know how to do that once! Heh, since you've been meddling in other people's business, don't blame me for crippling your arm!" The Second Brother pulled out a watermelon knife and slashed at Namikaze Minato.
The leader's eyes darkened. "This idiot, fine! Let him draw my fire!" Thinking this, the leader slowly retreated, gradually withdrawing from the dark alley. He was just about to run away.
Then a voice rang out, "Eight Trigrams - Air Palm!" Hizashi Hyuga's expression darkened, and he raised his right hand, bending his five fingers as he unleashed Vacuum Wave!
The leader was instantly sent flying! He coughed up blood and crashed into a lamppost, struggling to get up. At the same time, he looked at Hizashi Hyuga with undisguised resentment in his eyes.
"Heh, Hizashi Hyuga, you're really something. But it's a pity that you were relegated to the branch family just one second before your brother was born, and you got the Caged Bird on your forehead. Tsk tsk, if you ask me, you're clearly the number one genius in the Hyuga..." Knowing he couldn't escape, the eldest brother disgusted Hizashi Hyuga.
Hizashi Hyuga ground his teeth to powder. He glared fiercely at the gang leader like a wild beast, while the gang leader laughed. "Yes, that's the look! Hahaha, you want to kill me? Come on! I only attempted robbery, and even that failed. If you kill me, you'll go to jail too! Come on!"
The civilians watching the scene were stunned; this robber knew more about the law than even the Police Force!
Hizashi Hyuga took a deep breath. "Men, tie him up! Take him back for a proper interrogation!"
"Yes!" The Uchiha ninja beside him glanced at Hizashi Hyuga, then looked at the Forehead Protector on his forehead, sighed inwardly, and handcuffed the leader!
The eldest brother, knowing he couldn't escape, continued to harass Hizashi Hyuga, "How pathetic! What good is your effort? You're a member of the branch family for a day, and for a lifetime, your life is in the hands of the main family. They can make you live or die as they please, like a dog! Hahahahahahahaha!"
Finally, the Uchiha ninja could no longer bear it and struck the bandit leader's carotid artery with a palm strike. In an instant, the bandit leader's eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
Then, he handcuffed the Third Brother robber on the orange vendor's cart. Hizashi Hyuga took a deep breath to compose himself, as if he had forgotten something.
