My name is Uchiha Touhuan, and I beat the villagers so badly they cried out in pain.

Kakashi didn't pay much attention to these stares at first, assuming it was just the villagers' fear of Jinchūriki.

Naruto, on the other hand, was already used to this kind of treatment.

At this moment, Kakashi came to a dumpling stand, intending to buy something to fill the two people's stomachs.

Upon arriving at the stall, the owner, who had been sitting in the stall, looked up and first saw Naruto, who seemed somewhat hesitant in front of the stall.

The stall owner immediately gave him a disgusted look and waved his hand away as if shooing away flies.

"What are you doing here, you little fox demon? You're bad luck! No wonder business is bad today." The stall owner glared and roared fiercely, "Get out of here!"

However, when the stall owner turned around and saw Kakashi standing to the side with a livid face, he froze on the spot.

Kakashi didn't speak, but a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Over the years, he had heard rumors about Naruto's experiences, but he thought it was just the villagers' fear of the Jinchuriki's power that led to their alienation. But seeing it with his own eyes today, he realized that what Naruto had been enduring all these years was this kind of undisguised malice.

"You...who are you?" Kakashi, a ninja who had worked in the Anbu for many years, could not withstand even a hint of killing intent from the dumpling stall owner in front of him. He was immediately frightened and retreated repeatedly.

But upon seeing the headband on Kakashi's forehead, the man calmed down. In this village, it was an ironclad rule that ninjas could not attack civilians, so he felt he had no reason to be afraid of Kakashi.

So, the man mustered his courage and loudly questioned, "Who are you to this little fox demon? What do you want? Are you trying to harm ordinary people?"

The commotion attracted a crowd of onlookers. Although most of them were wary of Kakashi's ninja identity, represented by the headband on his forehead, and did not approach him, they whispered among themselves.

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know, I've never seen him around this little fox demon before."

"No matter what, can someone who associates with this fox demon brat be a good person?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, he's a ninja."

"A ninja? What's wrong with a ninja? Does he dare to beat people up in the village?"

"Hmph, even if that damned fox brat has a ninja backing him up now, we still can't be afraid of him!"

"That's right! As long as we unite, the Hokage will back us up!"

……

Kakashi overheard the conversations around him, and his expression grew increasingly grim amidst the whispers. This was the Fourth Hokage's son, who had risked his life to protect them during the Nine-Tails' rampage, and now he was being treated like this. Thinking back to his previous neglect of Naruto, he felt an urge to slap himself.

"Alright, Kakashi-nii, let's go." Naruto tugged at Kakashi's sleeve and whispered.

Seeing this, Kakashi turned around and looked at the stall owner who was still rambling on, his killing intent erupting without reservation.

The owner of the small meatball stall had never seen anything like this before. He was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, tripped over the chair behind him, and fell to the ground with a thud.

After doing all this, Kakashi turned around, grabbed Naruto, and prepared to leave.

However, the dumpling stall owner, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly started yelling, "They're hitting people! That fox demon brat brought ninjas to beat people up! The ninjas are bullying civilians!"

The loud noise from here caused a surge of people to gather in this direction on the commercial street this weekend.

Kakashi frowned as he watched the growing crowd and the strange looks people were giving him. He could only pull Naruto closer to him.

Just then, a commotion suddenly came from the outer edge of the crowd.

"What are you doing! What are you doing! Don't gather together, or there will be a stampede!"

The crowd turned around and saw that it was the patrol officers from the security team who had arrived, so they quickly made way for them.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the security team arrive; the leader of this patrol team was none other than Uchiha Zaito.

The security personnel dispersed the crowd with standardized smiles, while Uchiha Zaito approached Kakashi, nodded slightly in greeting, and then looked at the dumpling stall owner who was sitting on the ground howling.

"What happened?" Uchiha Zaito asked seriously.

"Sir, you've come at the right time!" The owner of the meatball stall scrambled to his feet upon seeing Uchiha Zaito and complained, "Quickly arrest this ninja who started the fight! He's in cahoots with this fox demon brat! And arrest that fox demon brat too!"

"Kakashi-nii-san didn't hit you!" Naruto couldn't help but say.

"You hit him?" Uchiha Zaito asked Kakashi.

"No," Kakashi said succinctly.

Uchiha Zaito nodded, then looked at the owner of the dumpling stand: "You said he hit you, what proof do you have?"

"I...I was made to fall down by him!" The owner of the meatball stall said, sounding a little unsure of himself, but still trying to be defiant.

"Ask around if anyone saw this ninja start a fight," Uchiha Zaito instructed his team members upon seeing the situation.

Soon, the team of security personnel began their routine questioning with standardized smiles, but the result was obvious.

They might dare to gather these people together and chat, but they would never dare to openly fabricate evidence in front of the garrison command.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Uchiha Zaito asked with a smile, looking at the troublemaking dumpling stall owner.

"No, no, it's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding." Seeing that the situation was against him, the meatball stall owner, who had been making a scene just moments before, immediately wilted and said with a sneer.

"Since it's all a misunderstanding, let's talk about your problem of operating your stall on the street," Uchiha Zaito said. "How many times has our security department reminded you? Don't set up your stall on the street. Someone! Take his stall away and invite him to sit in the security department."

Upon hearing Uchiha Zaito's words, the dumpling stand owner immediately started shouting again.

"So your security department is afraid to offend the ninjas, so you bully me, an unarmed civilian? I'm going to file a complaint against you! I'm going to report you to the Hokage's office!"

However, his attempts to bluff and deceive were ineffective against the civilian ninja team members who had gradually become accustomed to the work of the Security Department. Two ninjas in Security Department uniforms simply smiled and watched him.

They only moved his stall away after he got tired of arguing, and then took him to the police station.

By this time, the surrounding crowd had already scattered like birds and beasts. Uchiha Zaito then said to Kakashi, "Kakashi-senpai, I have official business to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer. If there's anything similar next time, just come to the Security Department to find us."

"I understand, thank you." Kakashi nodded and expressed his gratitude.
