After witnessing his teammates being systematically killed one by one, Juzo's heart became engulfed in a tumultuous whirlwind of emotions. The sight of the Jonin Ninjas he had led into battle being mercilessly slain by Uchiha Karan's subordinates left him feeling a profound sense of helplessness and anger. It was not merely because he had personally brought them along, but also because the loss of every Jonin carried immense weight for the entire village. Aware that victory was unattainable, Juzo steeled his resolve and made the decision to flee from the harrowing battleground.

Upon witnessing Juzo's hasty retreat, Uchiha Karan experienced a sense of relief. Although he possessed the capability to eliminate Juzo, doing so would consume valuable time, a luxury he could ill afford if he desired to prevent further casualties within his clan. Thus, he refrained from pursuing Juzo and redirected his focus towards the Genins of the Kirigakure army. Recognizing that the Jonins of Kirigakure were virtually incapacitated, with only a handful remaining, they could easily be dealt with by his clan's Jonins. Uchiha Karan launched an assault on the Genins, aiming to alleviate the pressure they faced from the Uchiha clan and subsequently eliminate the entire opposing army, thereby ensuring their support for the forces stationed at the rear.

Karan immediately issued the order, "All Genins, retreat!" The moment his words reached their ears, the Genins of the Uchiha clan swiftly withdrew from the ongoing battle. However, retreating from an ongoing battle was no easy feat. To facilitate their escape, Karan employed the Water Breathing Third Form: Flowing Dance technique, wielding a sword imbued with water chakra. He moved with a grace akin to dancing, swiftly dispatching 30 Genins in a single fluid motion. Witnessing this display, the Genins from Kirigakure were overcome with fear, allowing the Uchiha clan members to retreat effortlessly.

Observing his clan's ninjas successfully retreating, Karan sheathed his sword and unleashed the Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation technique. A colossal torrent of flames engulfed the area, obliterating 80% of the ninjas within its range. With only Genins and a few Chunins left engaged in battle, there was minimal resistance. Witnessing the extent of the destruction, the remaining ninjas from Kirigakure began fleeing in terror.

As Karan's subordinates expressed a desire to pursue and finish off the fleeing ninjas, Karan's voice resonated, "Let them go. They are nothing but insignificant trash. Our priority is to reach the rear battlefield, where the situation may not be favorable. Those capable of fighting, come with me." With those words, Karan set off in the direction of the rear battlefield. At this moment, he found himself slightly out of breath, a result of exertion from employing ninjutsu and engaging in combat against three of the ninja swordsmen. Fatigued, he possessed only one-third of his chakra reserves.

After getting the orders from Karan almost everyone started to move to support their clan members as within those people there is their friends and family. Only those who were seriously injured and unable to move and some others also stayed behind to take care of these injured ninjas.

After traveling for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, they finally reached the rear battlefield. The situation here was far from optimistic. While most of the Jonins had been killed, a significant number of Chunins and Genins still remained, and Uchiha clan members were being slain intermittently. Being the first to arrive, Karan immediately focused his attention on the two remaining Jonins. Unleashing the Thunder Breathing First Form: Eightfold technique, he swiftly killed both Jonins, his speed unwavering. In a seamless display of skill, he also eliminated 20 Chunins before anyone could even react. The remaining ninjas who had followed Karan joined forces to attack the remaining opponents.

At this moment, Karan issued an order for the rest of the ninjas to encircle the remaining ninjas from Kirigakure, preventing any attempts at escape from their ranks.

Surrounded by numerous Chunins, Nakamura employed the Flame Breathing Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation technique, swiftly decapitating all the Chunins encircling him.

Likewise, Aiko, slightly panting, faced four Chunins in front of her and promptly utilized the Thunder Breathing First Form: Sixfold technique. With astonishing speed, she swiftly eliminated all the Chunins before her.

Emiko, confronting the Chunins before her, employed the Water Breathing Fourth Form: Striking Tide technique, slaying each and every one of them.

Hiroshi, facing his adversaries, employed the Wind Breathing Fourth Form: Rising Dust Storm technique. With a circular motion of his blade, a whirlwind of wind enveloped him, slashing through all the surrounding Chunins.

Using the Stone Breathing First Form: Serpentinite Bipolar technique, Matsuda killed seven Chunins from Kirigakure who were engaged in combat with him.

Karan raised his hand and unleashed the Lightning Release: Chain Lightning technique. A dense bolt of lightning emanated from his hand, piercing the body of a Chunin. The lightning then surged through the air, connecting with the other Chunins in a chain-like fashion, ultimately striking and eliminating a total of 10 Chunins present.

The battle continued in this manner, and after half an hour, everyone except a few who managed to escape had been killed.

Following the conclusion of the battle, Karan issued orders to tally the casualties suffered by the Uchiha clan. He commanded the bodies of the fallen Kirigakure ninjas to be cremated. Rather than retiring to his tent and resting, Karan chose to offer assistance to any clan members who were in need, prioritizing their well-being over his own rest.
