The two men tensed up upon hearing the voice behind them, spinning around in an instant.

But seeing that the opponent was just a wet-behind-the-ears kid, they relaxed, their faces twisting into mocking grins.

"Scared the hell out of me, I thought it was someone from the Police Force!"

"Little brat, can't you see we're busy? Get lost back to wherever you came from and don't get in the way of our business!"

"Hahaha, look at that scrawny frame of yours, I doubt you could even take a single punch from me."

The two middle-aged men roared with laughter, not taking Uchiha Matsuzaki seriously in the slightest.

Upon hearing the voice, the young girl had thought she was about to be saved, but seeing that Uchiha Matsuzaki was a child around her own age, her hopes of rescue were instantly shattered.

It was perhaps also because of Uchiha Matsuzaki's thin and fragile build.

Uchiha Matsuzaki dug at his ear with an impatient expression after hearing what the two middle-aged men had to say.

"Broad daylight, and you reek of alcohol; it seems morality has truly hit rock bottom."

"Seeing as you haven't succeeded in your 'business' yet, I'll give you ten seconds to get lost, or you'll be sorry!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki snorted coldly at them.

The two middle-aged men exchanged glances after hearing Uchiha Matsuzaki's words, then burst into laughter.

"What a truly ignorant kid who doesn't know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth. Did you hear that, boss? He actually told us to get lost within 10 seconds. Hahaha!" one of the men laughed.

The other man, addressed as the boss, grew impatient. He barked, "Why waste breath on him? He's ruining our fun—hurry up and cripple him. We're wasting time."

"Looks like I have to take action after all. Honestly..." Uchiha Matsuzaki said after seeing his warning had no effect.

The man who had just been scolded pulled a kunai from behind his back and waved it in front of him.

"See this? My boss is angry now, and you're done for. Who told you to play the hero and save the damsel for no reason!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki didn't react, remaining where he stood, watching him with impatience.

Seeing Uchiha Matsuzaki's lack of reaction, the middle-aged man grew angry, then charged at him with the kunai.

Uchiha Matsuzaki didn't even need his eyes to deal with an enemy like this.

Uchiha Matsuzaki didn't know their strength, but because of the alcohol, the middle-aged man's attack had far too many openings.

Just as the kunai was about to pierce Uchiha Matsuzaki's heart, he turned rapidly, raised his hand, and delivered a heavy strike to the man's neck.

The middle-aged man's eyes rolled back instantly, his body shuddered, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Is that it? I really overestimated you, tsk!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki stepped to the side and looked down at the unconscious man on the ground.

The other middle-aged man nearby sobered up instantly, never having expected his brother to be taken out in a single second by a child.

"I didn't expect you to be playing the pig to eat the tiger, kid. Looks like I need to teach you a lesson!"

As he finished speaking, the middle-aged man charged at top speed, holding no weapon in his hands.

Halfway there, he began to weave hand signs.

"Earth Style: Earth-Style Wall!"

"Looks like you're a bit sharper, but it's useless."

Uchiha Matsuzaki sneered as he watched the man's hands weave the signs.

He opened his eyes, the pupils turning red as the tomoe spun rapidly, activating the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

The middle-aged man froze the moment he saw the Sharingan, his eyes turning vacant.

"Sigh, I don't know what it is about this world, but so many people don't take children seriously!"

"Now, take your friend and go turn yourselves in to the Police Force!"

After Uchiha Matsuzaki finished speaking, the man under the genjutsu dragged his unconscious companion and walked straight out.
