After the three blows, the villagers who had sheltered the escaped thugs immediately regretted the decision they had made just minutes earlier.

"Sir! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I have nothing to do with this!"

"You have nothing to do with this? Then why are these thugs in your house?" Without a word, a security guard struck the man in the waist with a baton. "I think you're one of their accomplices! Take him away!"

When the chaos broke out, Naruto was buying ramen at Ichiraku Ramen and also bringing some home for Kakashi. But as soon as he stepped out with the takeout box, he saw the no-holds-barred fighting tournament.

"What... what happened?" Naruto was completely dumbfounded by the scene before him.

Although he saw that the person in front of him who had been knocked to the ground and given a bone-setting massage with six blows in one second seemed to be the habitual offender who used to scold him, his kind heart still made him want to stand up and say a few words for the other person.

But before he could even speak, his collar was grabbed.

He turned around and saw a Uchiha captain staring at him with blood-red Sharingan eyes.

"Where did this child come from? Didn't you hear about the martial law being declared in the village?"

Uchiha Tayura's actions immediately put the Anbu responsible for protecting Naruto on high alert, and they quickly appeared.

Before the newly emerged Anbu could speak, Uchiha Tayame tossed Naruto to them and said, "You're just in time. Quickly take this kid back, don't let him wander around outside!"

"Understood." The masked ANBU member nodded and took Naruto from Uchiha Tayame's hands. After all, he was a Jinchuriki, and they were quite frightened when he attacked earlier.

While the unrestricted fighting tournament in the village was in full swing, Uchiha Touhuan, Uchiha Fugaku, and Aburame Shikai, the captain of the Sixth Battalion who was ordered to stay behind at the security headquarters, were leisurely brewing tea in Uchiha Fugaku's office.

"Dou-huan, aren't you going to go out and take a look?" Fugaku asked, puzzled. Dou-huan had just given the order and then dragged him here for tea.

"I can't go out yet," Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile. "Otherwise, the Third Hokage really won't be able to sit still."

"Come, come, have some tea!" Uchiha Touhuan served tea to the two of them one by one.

"I've often heard that Chief Do-hwan's tea ceremony skills are superb, and I never thought I'd have the chance to try it today." Aburame Shiho smiled as she accepted the tea offered by Uchiha Do-hwan.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi, inside the Hokage's office, also learned of the chaos on the street.

"Hiruzen, you saw that!" Koharu Utatane, who had come to the Hokage's office to complain, immediately stepped forward after hearing the Anbu's report and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "The Uchiha clan attacked the villagers! This is clearly a rebellion! Hiruzen, you can't hesitate any longer!"

Listening to his old partner's incessant chatter, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a surge of annoyance. He waved wearily at his partner before asking the new head of the Anbu, "Where is Uchiha Touhuan now?"

"Lord Hokage, Uchiha Touhuan is still in the Security Department and has not taken any action."

"Is that so?" Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. "That's good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Touhuan Uchiha did not intend to rebel directly. Otherwise, with almost the entire Security Department mobilized, Touhuan Uchiha, the strongest member of the Uchiha clan, would not have remained inactive.

"Kai-ni, go and invite Uchiha Tou-hwan, the clan head, to the Hokage Building," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a sigh to the newly appointed captain of the Anbu after Kakashi's retirement.

"Understood." Jia Er nodded, accepted the order, and left.

"Hiruzen, we really can't hesitate any longer! Isn't the Uchiha clan's rebellion obvious enough?" Homura Mizukimon said at this moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored the two of them and simply lit his pipe.

"Hiruzen! You're the one who will be the Hokage!" Mitokado Homura stamped his foot in frustration, but Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even utter a single word like "I am the Hokage."

These two old bastards only know how to talk nonsense on the sidelines, but they actually dared to do such a big thing behind his back. You know, even Danzo would inform him before doing something like this, but these two did it without saying a word. When Hiruzen Sarutobi heard the rumors about Kakashi in the village, he wanted nothing more than to draw his sword and kill these two idiots.

The Third Hokage originally planned to give Naruto's upbringing to Kakashi in order to win Kakashi's heart, but what difference is there between these two idiots' actions and directly pushing Kakashi to the Uchiha clan?

What left the Third Hokage speechless was that these two idiots not only did the job, but they did it so sloppily. Now the Security Department was using this as an excuse to make trouble, and as the Hokage, he didn't even have the legal standing to stop them.

After several encounters, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Uchiha Touhuan was different from the previous Uchiha clan leaders; he was not the kind of fool who could be easily fooled.

After a long while, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said, "Send out the Anbu to control the situation a little, and then have the leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans lead the Jonin teams to provide support."

"Understood." Inside the office, another ANBU member accepted the order and left the Hokage's office.

Soon, the ANBU member in charge of relaying the order arrived at the ANBU base, gathered all the ANBU members who remained at the base, and took to the streets.

Before the secret agents could even disperse after stepping onto the street, they saw a member of the security department chasing after three thugs, brandishing a baton.

"What are you doing?" An ANBU ninja stepped forward and slightly stopped the Uchiha from performing bone-setting on the security personnel.

Upon seeing this, the fleeing civilians quickly scrambled to hide behind the assassin.

"The Security Department is on a mission to investigate thugs who spread rumors in the village, slander Konoha hero Kakashi Hatake, and violently resist law enforcement. Does your Anbu intend to protect these thugs?" The person who was stopped was only a Genin, but he was not afraid of this Anbu member whose strength was at least Special Jonin, and questioned him directly.

"I see, I misunderstood." After hearing this, the ANBU member nodded, then stepped aside before saying, "Remember, don't cause any deaths."

Then, to the disbelief of the villagers being chased, the member of the secret service simply scaled the wall and left.

This situation has played out several times in the village. After receiving the mission, most of the secret agents would go out and ask around to find out the purpose of the garrison. At most, they would just stand by and watch, and at most remind the garrison not to go too far and cause any deaths.
