The two men tensed when they heard a voice behind them and spun around at once.

But when they saw it was just a little kid who still had milk on his breath, they relaxed, grinning mockingly.

"You scared the life out of me! I thought it was the Guard!"

"Brat, can't you see we're busy? Get lost and go back where you came from. Don't interfere with our business!"

"Hahaha! Let's see if your little body can even take one punch from me."

The two middle-aged men laughed loudly, not taking Uchiha Matsuzaki seriously at all.

When she heard the voice, the girl thought she was about to be rescued. But when she saw that Uchiha Matsuzaki was a child about her age, her hopes of being saved vanished.

Perhaps it was also because Uchiha Matsuzaki was so scrawny.

After hearing what the two middle-aged men said, Uchiha Matsuzaki impatiently picked at his ear.

"Out in broad daylight, and you reek of booze. Seems like decency has gone out the window."

"Since you haven't gotten what you came for yet, I'll give you ten seconds to get lost. Otherwise, you'll be sorry!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki sneered at them.

The two middle-aged men glanced at each other when they heard what Uchiha Matsuzaki had just said, then burst out laughing.

"What an ignorant little punk. Big brother, did you hear that? He actually told us to get lost in ten seconds. Hahaha!" one of the men laughed.

The middle-aged man they called Big Brother was getting impatient. He snapped, "Why are you still wasting your breath on him? He ruined our fun. Hurry up and cripple him. What a waste of time."

"Looks like I'll have to do this the hard way. Seriously..." Uchiha Matsuzaki said when he saw his warning hadn't worked.

The middle-aged man who had just been scolded pulled a kunai from behind him and waved it around in front of himself.

"See that? My boss is pissed now, so you're done for too. That's what you get for playing hero!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki didn't react to his words. He stayed right where he was, looking at the man impatiently.

When the middle-aged man saw that Uchiha Matsuzaki still hadn't reacted, he got angry and charged at him with the kunai.

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

Uchiha Matsuzaki didn't know how strong they were, but the middle-aged man had been drinking, and his attack was full of openings.

Just as the kunai was about to stab Uchiha Matsuzaki in the heart, he spun around in an instant, raised his hand, and struck the middle-aged man hard in the neck.

The man's eyes rolled back, his whole body jerked, and he crashed to the ground, unconscious.

"That's it? I really overestimated you. Tsk!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki stepped aside and looked at the unconscious man on the ground.

Seeing this, the other middle-aged man sobered up instantly. He couldn't believe his buddy had been taken down in a single move by a child.

"I didn't expect you to be hiding your strength, you little punk. Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man charged at him as fast as he could, without a weapon in his hands.

Halfway there, he began forming Hand Seals.

"Earth Style: Earth-Style Wall!"

"You're a little sharper than the other one, but it won't do you any good."

Uchiha Matsuzaki sneered as he watched the man's hands form the seals.

Then his eyes closed and opened, his pupils turned red, and the Tomoe spun rapidly as he activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

The middle-aged man saw the Sharingan and immediately stopped, his eyes blank.

"Honestly, I don't know why so many people in this world underestimate children!"

"Now take your friend and turn yourselves in to the Guard!"

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