As soon as Karan's words were spoken, the entire ground fell into silence. No one uttered a word. After a few minutes of this eerie silence, an Uchiha ninja stepped forward and swiftly stabbed one of the Sarutobi ninjas with his kunai. This single act set off a chain reaction, and one by one, almost every Uchiha ninja began doing the same to the members of the Sarutobi clan.

Some Uchiha clan members refrained from taking any action as they believed in peace over violence. Uchiha Karan respected their choice and didn't comment or say anything. He simply stated, "This was just the beginning; the real revenge will be taken later."

After the event, everyone dispersed and returned to their previous tasks. As they were leaving, Karan signaled his subordinates with a nod, and they understood his message before departing.

Karan returned to his tent and with a bang, he used the Summoning technique, summoning a black cat that appeared in front of him.

"What do you need me to do?" asked the black cat.

"Kuroi, I want you to deliver this scroll to my father," said Karan as he handed a scroll to Kuroi.

Kuroi took the scroll from Karan, nodded, and with another bang, disappeared from the place.

After Kuroi left, Karan's subordinates returned. Upon seeing their return, Karan looked at them and asked, "How many?"

"Three. We found three individuals, one was sending information to the Clan Head, and the other two were sending information to the Hokage," Emiko stepped forward and explained.

Karan nodded upon hearing Emiko's words. Before addressing the Uchiha clan members, he instructed his subordinates to keep a close eye on every Uchiha ninja to identify any spies from the Hokage's side. His plan succeeded, as at least two spies were discovered.

"You all did well. Now go and reflect on the gains from the battle you fought, as it will benefit you greatly," said Karan as he dismissed all of them.

His subordinates nodded and left.

...….

It has been a few hours since the incident at Karan's camp. Inside Konoha, Hiruzen was examining two pieces of information sent to him by Uchiha clan's true followers of the Will of Fire. Sitting beside him were Danzo, Koharu, and Homura.

"The strength displayed by Uchiha Karan and his subordinates is concerning, and their actions towards your clan members, who are fellow villagers, are unacceptable," said Danzo.

"Yes, Danzo is correct. His power has grown to the extent that he can defeat three members of the Kirigakure's Ninja Seven Swordsmen and numerous high-ranking Jonin. Although those Jonin were promoted to Special Jonin due to the war, they are still stronger than an Elite Chunin," said Koharu.

"Not to mention his subordinates, their strength is on par with that of a Jonin, and they can engage in equal combat with Elite Jonin," said Homura.

"Yes, but he also successfully repelled the attack from Kirigakure. We must acknowledge his accomplishment," said Hiruzen.

"What if we tarnish his reputation first? Even if his deeds are later revealed, they will not have the desired impact," suggested Danzo.

Hiruzen remained silent, implying his agreement with the suggestion. Koharu and Homura immediately concurred, recalling how Sakumo was treated. The room fell into a heavy silence.

The next morning, discussions filled the streets of Konoha. People exclaimed, "How could someone be so heartless?" "Yes, at such a tender age, his cruelty is unfathomable." "He mercilessly slaughtered members of the Sarutobi clan merely on suspicion." "In my opinion, he is sowing discord within the village. Such an evil person deserves execution."

At the same time, inside the Uchiha clan compound, Uchiha Takoma received the report that his son had been slandered throughout Konoha. He was furious, but he managed to control his anger as he recalled the contents of the scroll sent by his son. He turned to the gathered Uchiha police force ninjas and asked, "Do you remember what to do?"

"Yes, we will ensure that the whole of Konoha learns the truth," replied the members of the Uchiha police force.

Afterward, they departed.

As the Uchiha police force passed by, people started whispering, "Look, these guys are from the same clan as that Uchiha Karan."

The members of the police force chuckled, "Such fools, destined to remain at the bottom, unable to reach our heights."

"Yeah, Karan engaged in battle with three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen from Kirigakure. He killed two of them and forced one to flee. He also slew more than 20 Jonin, nearly double the number of Chunin, and around 100 Genin."

"Not only him, but his subordinates also achieved remarkable feats."

"But will they ever know the truth?"

"No, after all, they are the people at the bottom of society. What the Hokage says is considered gospel."

"Yeah, they buzz around like flies, oblivious to the facts. No one cares that they were investigated before being executed, especially because they are from the Sarutobi clan. And who belongs to the Sarutobi clan? Our Hokage. Will they be punished?"

"Never. That's why I agree with Karan's approach."

"Those bastards from the Sarutobi, Utatane, and Mitokado clans changed their route to avoid conflicts with the Kirigakure army."

"Our Uchiha clan, with just 200 members, defeated the Kirigakure army, which had twice our numbers. That's the power of the Uchiha."

"Yeah, but why are we discussing all this here? After all, a lion never shows off in front of mice. Let's go."

Conversations between Uchiha clan police foce like this spread throughout Konoha.
