Witnessing Karan's astonishing speed, the three Ninja Swordsmen found themselves drenched in cold sweat. Jinin Akebino couldn't help but remark, "Is this speed any less impressive than that of the Third Raikage?"
Karan, after sheathing his sword, addressed the twelve Jonins and his subordinates, saying, "I have reduced the number of Jonins to almost match your own, and as Uchiha family Jonins, it shouldn't be a problem for all of you to handle them swiftly." Turning his attention to the three members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Karan declared, "I will personally deal with these three fools."
Filled with determination, Nakamura responded, "Master Karan, we will not disappoint you." Without hesitation, he sprang into action, selecting a Jonin to engage. This time, Nakamura was serious and immediately activated his Sharingan. Inspired by his actions, everyone else followed suit.
Jinin Akebino, eager to confront Matsuda in combat, was about to intervene, but Karan halted him, preventing any unnecessary clashes.
Juzo Biwa unleashed the dreaded "Hidden Mist Technique," enveloping Karan and the three Ninja Swordsmen in a dense mist. Reacting swiftly, Karan retrieved his shurikens and executed the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson jutsu. A multitude of shurikens soared through the air, precisely targeting the three Ninja Swordsmen. Expecting a straightforward dodge, the Swordsmen were taken aback as the shurikens seemed to mirror their movements, guided by Karan's control.
Realizing the shurikens were being manipulated, the Swordsmen swiftly changed their tactics. Skillfully employing their ninja tools, they deflected the shurikens and severed the wires connecting them to Karan's control.
With a swift motion, Kushimaru Kuriarare severed the wire, preparing to retrieve the burning shuriken. However, in that very moment, Karan unleashed the Sun Breathing Phoenix Flash technique. Emerging from the flames that engulfed Kushimaru Kuriarare's surroundings, Karan swiftly struck, slashing at his adversary. Kushimaru Kuriarare, a seasoned veteran of numerous battles and assassinations, possessed a keen perception of danger. He managed to evade the brunt of the attack, yet a deep gash marred his back, surrounded by burn marks.
"Bastard!" cried Kushimaru Kuriarare in agony. Determined to retaliate, he employed his ninja tools, launching a rapid assault at Karan. However, despite his formidable speed, Kushimaru Kuriarare found himself unable to inflict any harm upon his opponent.
In a sudden twist, Karan employed the Body Flicker technique, swiftly vanishing from the scene. As he disappeared, a deafening BOOM echoed as a hammer crashed down on the spot where he had stood just moments before. Reappearing gracefully, Karan landed, only to be confronted by Juzo, who materialized behind him, slashing at his back. Reacting with lightning speed, Karan countered with the Sun Breathing Fire Wheel technique, cleaving Juzo in half. However, to Karan's expectation, Juzo's body transformed into water, splashing onto the ground—a Water Clone Technique.
Unexpectedly, the real Juzo emerged from the side, unleashing the Water Release: Great Waterfall Flow Technique. A massive whirlpool formed, encircling Karan, its intention to drown him. Unyielding in the face of such a ploy, Karan employed the Fire Release: Flame Whirlwind technique. A colossal whirlwind of fire collided with the swirling water, canceling its effect and generating a significant amount of water vapor in the process.
Faced with the relentless assault from Juzo, Kushimaru Kuriarare, and Jinin Akebino, Karan realized he couldn't afford to let his guard down. Swiftly grasping his sword, Juzo launched a ferocious attack at Karan, while both Kushimaru and Jinin followed suit. Now surrounded by enemies on all sides, Karan knew he had to act swiftly.
Drawing upon his Thunder Breathing techniques, Karan unleashed the Thunder Breathing First Form: Sixfold. With astounding speed, he moved and slashed at all three adversaries simultaneously. Though Juzo and Jinin managed to defend themselves, the force of Karan's attack sent them hurtling through the air. In the chaos, Kushimaru suffered injuries from Karan's assault, leaving him vulnerable.
Without hesitation, Karan seized the opportunity to end Kushimaru's life before Juzo and Jinin could regroup. Employing the Thunder Breathing Lightning Burst technique, Karan unleashed a series of lightning-fast slashes, striking Kushimaru three times consecutively. The onslaught proved fatal, tearing Kushimaru's body into three parts, bringing an end to his life.
While Jinin and Juzo were momentarily separated from the scene, they returned to find the lifeless body of Kushimaru. The sight ignited a fiery rage within Jinin, who seethed, "You dare to kill Kushimaru, you bastard!" In a fit of fury, Jinin launched an immediate attack on Karan, wielding his hammer with relentless force. However, as the hammer descended, Karan vanished, reappearing above the weapon, seemingly taunting Jinin. This sight only served to fuel Jinin's anger further, driving him to unleash a relentless assault on Karan.
In the heat of his furious attacks, Jinin lacked a coherent pattern, preventing Juzo from getting close to Karan to aid in the assault. Jinin's onslaught continued unabated, with Karan skillfully defending against the onslaught. Then, in a moment of realization, Jinin caught a glimpse of Karan's eyes—his Sharingan with three tomoe. Consumed by rage, Jinin momentarily forgot the warning against meeting Karan's gaze. Instantly falling victim to an illusion, Jinin found himself trapped.
Seizing the opportunity, Karan swiftly executed the Sun Breathing Scorching Rush technique. With lightning speed, he materialized before Jinin, who managed to break free from the genjutsu just a moment too late. Karan unleashed a swift and deadly combination of five devastating moves, swiftly ending Jinin's life.
