Finally, after the intense outburst of Uchiha Karan's emotions, he managed to regain his composure, and along with it, his violent chakra subsided. A sense of relief washed over his subordinates, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

Karan turned his attention to his loyal subordinates and inquired, "Why did he venture onto the battlefield instead of staying within the secure confines of the clan compound? There must be a valid reason for him to make such a decision."

A sudden presence appeared in the tent, revealing a black cat. Kuroi, the summoning beast shared by Uchiha Karan and Uchiha Takoma, had appeared.

"Your father, as you are aware, keeps a diary, which is always entrusted to me. Whenever I have some free time, I browse through its contents. According to his recent entries, someone informed Takoma about your deployment to the Sunagakure battlefield. Furthermore, they revealed a sinister plan devised by the village to eliminate you with the help of Sunagakure. Takoma had unwavering faith in your formidable abilities at first, believing that nothing could harm you. This individual, however, revealed three critical pieces of information that compelled Takoma to act and gather his trusted subordinates "Kuroi elaborated.

Kuroi went on to say, "First, he discovered that the remaining members of the Puppet Brigade had joined the opposing forces, with the sole purpose of destroying you. Second, these foes were led by Ebizu, a renowned master of Puppet and warfare arts who is widely regarded as one of the most astute individuals alive. Finally, the dying Jinchuriki of Sunagakure was expected to take part in the battle. Takoma quickly gathered his most loyal subordinates in response to this distressing revelation, even enlisting the help of former Uchiha ninjas who had been staunch supporters of your grandfather. They chose to accompany him to the battlefield, saying their goodbyes to Konoha."

Uchiha Karan listened to everything, and with a calm mind, he analyzed and said, "My father will never trust anyone unless they have been with him for a long time and he can rely on them completely. Currently, there is only one person alive who has such trust from my father."

"You are correct. It's Uchiha Rin, whom your father has groomed since the age of six and wanted to make him your right-hand man," said Kuroi, confirming Uchiha Karan's guess.

"That bastard! How dare he betray Takoma-Sama, who took care of him like his own child?" cursed Nakamura.

"Master Karan, order me, and I will immediately return to Konoha and bring his head to your feet," said Hiroshi.

"Yes, you just have to give the order, and we will all bring the head of Uchiha Rin," said Emiko.

Every subordinate of his was ready to bring Uchiha Rin's head at his command. However, Uchiha Karan sat there quietly, contemplating his next move. Seeing Karan lost in deep thought, everyone became quiet and remained silent for fifteen minutes.

Finally, Karan spoke, "Like you, I also want to go and kill that traitor myself. But if I kill him now, I will not be able to punish those high-level individuals. Although Fugaku is a cowardly person, he would never plot against so many clan members. It must be the work of the Hokage."

"And it might be the work of Danzo too. He left the camp one week ago," said Aiko.

"Hmm, so let Uchiha Rin live, and send Fugaku a message in my name that I am going to the battlefield of Sunagakure. Until then, not even a hair of Uchiha Rin should be harmed, or else I will make him pay for letting my father die," said Karan, his voice filled with coldness.

"Leave it to me," said Kuroi.

Karan nodded and then looked towards his subordinates. He said, "I have a mission for you five. You have been with me for so long and have fought many battles. You know how battles progress very well, and with your intelligence, I have no doubt that you will execute this smoothly. I want every single member of the other families dead, even if they are considered trash by their own clans. We will do them a favor and clean up this mess."

"Are we not accompanying you?" asked Emiko, concern evident in her voice.

"No, I will personally ensure that every single Sunagakure ninja who ambushed my father pays for their actions," said Karan, his voice filled with an icy determination.

"Master Karan, I apologize for my presumption, but venturing alone into the battlefield is impulsive," Aiko interjected, taking a step forward.

"You are correct. Perhaps I am being reckless by choosing to face this challenge alone. However, I assure you that I am not a fool. Throughout my entire life, I have never engaged in anything foolish. So, rest assured and trust in my words. I will demonstrate to the world the forgotten power of the Uchiha clan," Karan declared, his tone reassuring as he activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Karan's unwavering confidence derived from his possession of not just any ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan, but the rare and legendary Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
