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

"Sir! Stop hitting them! Stop hitting them!" The first few men to be knocked to the ground cried out, covering their heads and trying to dodge the batons. "We're just civilians who were called here! This has nothing to do with me!"

"Now you realize you're a civilian?" Uchiha Inahisa, who was unleashing six strikes per second, glared with her Sharingan eyes. "Too late! You even dared to storm the Security Department! Are you planning to storm the Hokage Building tomorrow?"

Soon, the fleeing villagers rushed into the streets and alleys of Konoha, while the police officers wielding batons pursued them relentlessly.

Several villagers passing by, unaware of what was happening, were sternly reprimanded by the police and driven back into their homes: "What are you looking at? Martial law is in effect in the village tonight! Don't go out! Otherwise, you'll all be treated as rioters!"

After saying that, the guard jumped onto the wall on both sides of the road, accelerated, and then fell from the sky, kicking down a fleeing protesting villager. His baton started to swing involuntarily.

This scene terrified the villagers who were not involved in the incident. They all fled back to their homes, closing their doors and windows tightly. In no time, the streets of Konoha were filled only with the fleeing troublemakers and the pursuing police officers.

At that moment, three ANBU members who were on a mission in the village witnessed this scene. One of them asked, "Jonin Nagai, should we stop them?"

"Stop what? Didn't the security department see what was going on?" Nagai Seiichi glared at the two special Jonin who were on the mission with him. "We can just go back and report to the Hokage. Don't cause trouble for yourselves."

Although the number of security personnel who were mobilized was several times less than that of the rioting villagers, they were all well-trained and carried out their tasks in an orderly manner. After arresting a few people, they first gave them a set of bone-setting treatments, and then one or two people dragged the thugs who had been beaten to a pulp back to the security headquarters.

Screams and screams echoed throughout the streets and alleys of Konoha Village.

Hideaki Sakurai and a teammate named Yoki Fujiwara chase a fleeing scoundrel through the alleys of Konoha.

This person was clearly not an ordinary villager. After all, an ordinary villager would not have been able to run for so long while being chased by two ninjas.

The four people being chased ran into a corner, and the two of them followed without thinking. However, once inside, they discovered that there were several other people hiding in the alley. Furthermore, the person who had been chased initially picked up a wooden chair at the corner, slammed it heavily against the wall, and distributed the broken wooden sticks to the others.

Now that they outnumbered the others and had weapons, the few who had been hiding became much bolder. One of them stepped forward and accused Sakurai Hideaki and Fujiwara Yoki, saying, "Ninjas are supposed to protect the village, how can they attack the villagers?"

"How dare you call yourselves villagers when you act so recklessly and disregard the Will of Fire?" Hideaki Sakurai shouted angrily.

"Hideaki-nii, what should we do? There are too many of them." Fujiwara Yoki hesitated. He was just a recent graduate from the Ninja Academy and hadn't yet learned the ninjutsu that the Security Department had issued last time. He was one of the weakest fighters in the Security Department. Now that the other side had a lot of people, he was a little nervous.

"What are you afraid of!" Hideaki Sakurai sneered, taking off his headband. "Have you forgotten what Vice Captain Doo-hwan just said? Don't embarrass the Security Department!"

Hideaki Sakurai took a deep breath, picked up his baton, and strode forward.

Seeing this, Fujiwara Yoki gritted his teeth and followed.

A group of people instantly clashed. Sakurai Hideaki was alright. He was one of the better students from the commoner class when he was in the Ninja Academy. After joining the Security Department, he received guidance from Uchiha Zaito. After learning the ninjutsu issued by the Security Department, he also learned a Uchiha-style sword technique. So, although he was fighting four against one, he was not at a disadvantage.

However, as a bottom-of-the-class student who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy, Fujiwara Yoki lacked practical experience and could only rely on his chakra-enhanced body to withstand the attacks of these thugs.

However, even when he was temporarily at a disadvantage, Fujiwara Yoki did not forget to swing his baton fiercely.

Suddenly, one of the thugs who was being suppressed by Hideaki Sakurai pulled out several shuriken and shot them at the two of them.

Sakurai Hideaki narrowly avoided the attack, but Fujiwara Yoki was caught off guard and could only barely dodge the fatal blow. The flying shuriken instantly sliced ​​open his thigh, and blood flowed freely.

"You're a ninja?" Sakurai Hideaki was furious upon seeing this and took out a shuriken from his ninja tool bag to retaliate.

However, after removing his disguise, the private ninja of the Utatane family decided not to continue the act and immediately began forming hand seals.

"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!" The ninja unleashed a fireball, aiming directly at the injured Fujiwara Yoki.

Seeing this, Hideaki Sakurai could only rush back to his aid, but the two had spread out during their previous battle, and Sakurai's rescue was clearly too late. In desperation, he could only shout, "Get out of the way!"

Fujiwara Yoki wanted to hide, but his injured thigh made it difficult for him to move.

Just as Fujiwara Yoki was about to die on the spot, a figure blocked his way, slashing diagonally with his ninja sword and scattering the opponent's ninjutsu.

"Team Leader Zaito!" Sakurai Hideaki and Fujiwara Yoki exclaimed in surprise. The person who had arrived was none other than Uchiha Zaito.

"You're really useless. After this mission is over and your injuries heal, just wait for the hellish training!" Uchiha Zaito turned around and looked coldly at Fujiwara Yoki, then snorted and said.

"As for you," Uchiha Zaito stared at the private ninja of the Utatane clan, "you dared to kill even a member of the Security Forces? You're asking for trouble, aren't you?"

Since the opponent had already used shuriken and ninjutsu, Uchiha Zaito no longer needed to hold back. He quickly charged forward with his ninja sword. This private ninja of the Utatane clan was at most a Chunin level, no match for Uchiha Zaito. He was captured in less than three moves, and the villagers who had been there earlier had vanished the moment he used his ninjutsu.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and chase after them!" Uchiha Zaito shouted at Sakurai Hideaki in an annoyed tone. Sakurai Hideaki nodded quickly and gave chase.

The order to declare martial law in the village tonight quickly spread throughout Konoha. However, Konoha has never lacked troublemakers who don't know what's important. A few people with a saintly heart opened their doors when they saw the rioters being chased by the police, allowing these rioters to hide in their homes.

However, the guards, who were already bloodthirsty, didn't care about anything else and barged into the other party's home, pouring their loyalty into the man as well.
