Hiruzen took the list of members of the Sarutobi clan and reviewed the reasons. He wasn't surprised after reading them because they matched his expectations.

"On what basis were they arrested?" asked Danzo.

"They were arrested due to their weaknesses, such as gambling and drinking. It's obviously not a coincidence. The Uchiha clan must have used small-scale illusions to intensify their desires, leading them to make significant mistakes. The Uchiha Police Force seized the opportunity to capture them, and obviously it can't be detected that they used illusions." Hiruzen speculated.

"Let ANBU ninjas keep an eye on the Uchiha Police Force and ensure the safety of our village's ninjas," said Hiruzen, gazing at the kneeling ANBU ninja.

"Yes, Hokage-Sama, we will monitor the members of the Uchiha Clan Police force," the ANBU ninja responded. After saying this, the ninja disappeared from the Hokage's office.

"Hiruzen, if we don't control the Uchiha Clan, they will become uncontrollable," said Danzo.

Hiruzen nodded in agreement after hearing Danzo's words and replied, "Uchiha Karan will lead his clan members into battle, won't he? Let them handle the difficult tasks as long as they're alive."

"I will ensure it is done," said Danzo, and he left the Hokage's Office.

...…..

Outside his camp, in an open space, Karan was practicing his chakra control and refining his breathing techniques. After training for four hours, Karan stopped and sat down, taking out some dry food to eat.

At that moment, Aiko approached him and said, "Master Karan, there is news from Konoha."

"Hmm, sit down and have some," Karan replied, offering her some dry food.

"Master Karan, the news..." Aiko began.

"It's not urgent. I can still listen while eating, so have a seat and eat first, then talk," Karan insisted.

"Yes!" Aiko responded, complying with Karan's request. She sat down beside him and took the food he offered.

"I am aware of your feelings and Emiko's feelings for me, but I have goals to accomplish and don't have the time for that, at least not now. Maybe in the future," Karan said unexpectedly.

Aiko was taken aback by Karan's words, and her face turned red, extending up to her ears. In a soft voice, she replied, "I am willing to wait, and Emiko will wait as well."

"Hmm," Karan nodded in response to Aiko's words.

To ease the awkwardness caused by his sudden statement, Karan asked Aiko about her progress and other matters. He wasn't the type to engage in romantic conversations or talk about love.

After they finished eating, Karan said, "Now, tell me the news you wanted to share."

"Yes, it goes like this..." Aiko began, narrating the entire story that had unfolded in Konoha. The information had been sent by Karan's father.

Upon hearing Aiko's words, Karan rose solemnly. "Why is he taking such actions? I only asked him to counter the rumors spread by Danzo, not to do something like this," he lamented.

Unaware of the gravity of the situation Karan was alluding to, Aiko responded with a cold expression, "Those who have killed our clan members, be they from the Sarutobi clan or ROOT, deserve the consequences."

Karan maintained his solemn demeanor as he expressed his thoughts. "While I understand that they may deserve consequences for their actions, this is not the appropriate method, especially given the current circumstances," he remarked.

Aiko's confusion deepened as she tried to comprehend Karan's words. Sensing her bewilderment, Karan clarified, "With the decrease in pressure on the borders of the Water Country, it is likely that Fugaku will return to Konoha and reclaim the captain's position. This presents an opportunity for Hiruzen to manipulate the situation. While my father holds significant influence, he is not above the influence of the Hokage. Send him a message, urging him not to engage in further provocative actions. Instead, let us focus on seeking revenge for the Sarutobi clan, but in the battlefield, away from Konoha."

Aiko defended Takoma, saying, "Takoma-sama loves you deeply, which is why he is willing to go to such extreme lengths."

Karan sighed, acknowledging Aiko's point. "I understand his intentions, but I firmly believe that this is not the right approach," he replied, his mind immersed in contemplation.

"Alright, send an urgent message to my father, urging him not to act recklessly," Karan instructed. "Also, gather all twelve Jonins who are currently present here. I must meet with them. I need to demonstrate my strength and create a deterrent effect so that Hiruzen doesn't even consider laying a hand on my father."

"I will immediately send a message and call the Jonins on short notice," said Aiko, swiftly leaving the scene. Aiko walked away, fully aware of the immense importance of Karan's words.

Utilizing her Summoning technique, Aiko summoned her feline Summoned beast, which also happened to be a cat. She entrusted the message to the cat and dispatched it to deliver the crucial communication. Aiko promptly ordered all Jonins to assemble, and Karan's other subordinates were also gathered.

Within a matter of minutes, all the Jonins and Karan's subordinates stood before him, ready to receive his instructions. The efficient mobilization reflected the efficacy of Aiko's actions, and a sense of urgency filled the air as they prepared to face the challenges ahead.

Uchiha Karan stood before them and spoke, "All of you are powerful Uchiha clan Jonins. With the Sharingan, your strength is further amplified. I have a task for you, one that will not only allow you to seek revenge on the Kirigakure ninja but also enhance your reputation among the current Konoha Jonins. Are you all willing to undertake this task?"

"Yes, we are wholeheartedly committed to completing it," responded each Uchiha Jonin with unwavering enthusiasm.

Karan nodded in acknowledgment of their determination and continued, "You are all familiar with the Uchiha Flame Formation, correct?"

"Yes, this is a standard defensive ninjutsu that every Uchiha Jonin learns," stated one of the Jonins, while the others nodded in agreement, acknowledging the fact presented by their fellow Uchiha Jonin.

Karan then turned his attention towards the group of four Jonins and inquired, "Have you four also mastered the Uchiha Flame Formation, similar to the Four Violet Flames Formation used by the ANBU?"

"Yes, the Uchiha Flame Formation that we employ creates a large barrier. Although it possesses weaker sealing abilities compared to the Four Violet Flames Formation, it offers the advantage of mobility," explained one of the Jonins.

"Excellent. With your abilities, my plan can be executed more effectively," remarked Karan, observing the perplexed expressions on the faces of the Jonins.
