At that very moment, Karan sensed coordinates of his subordinates from the coins he had entrusted to his subordinates. It felt as if they had infused chakra into the currency, enabling him to teleport them all back to Konoha.

Without hesitation, Karan activated his 'Mangekyo Sharingan,' and 'Space Control' eye technique. Instantly, the coins and his subordinates appeared before him in the heart of Konoha.

The five individuals, now standing in front of Karan, showed their respect by bowing deeply. In unison, they addressed him, "Master Karan."

Karan acknowledged their gesture with a nod and turned his gaze toward Fugaku, "I have a few matters to discuss with my subordinates and need to gather details about the mission I assigned them," he stated. "We will have to postpone our conversation for another day."

Fugaku nodded understandingly and added, "Very well. By the way, are you planning to attend the Fourth Hokage's inauguration ceremony?"

"Indeed, I wouldn't miss it," replied Karan with a determined tone. With that, he departed from the scene, his loyal subordinates in tow, heading towards his residence.

Upon reaching his residence, Karan took his seat at the head of the room, with his loyal subordinates flanking him on either side. He wasted no time in getting straight to business.

Karan inquired, "Did everything go according to plan in Amegakure and the Rain Country?"

Nakamura, one of his trusted subordinates, responded, "Yes, everything proceeded smoothly. Amegakure is now firmly under Yahiko's control, and we have also gained influence over several key ministers in the Rain Country. With their assistance, we anticipate taking control of the entire Rain Country without excessive bloodshed. While securing Amegakure, we did encounter some resistance from prominent Jonins, but we swiftly quelled those rebellions. Yahiko's ascension to Amekage has been kept a closely guarded secret, just as you instructed."

Karan nodded in approval. "You've all done an exceptional job," he acknowledged.

Shifting gears, he turned his attention to the matter of their unique Mangekyo Sharingan abilities. "By the way, would any of you be willing to share the details of your Mangekyo Sharingan abilities? It's entirely your choice, of course."

Nakamura took the lead, expressing willingness to reveal his abilities. "I'll start," he offered. "One of my eyes grants me the power to manipulate fire, allowing me to drastically increase my strength. The other eye enables me to control someone else's body, with the duration of control depending on the opponent's willpower."

Aiko followed, stating, "My Mangekyo Sharingan grants me the ability to command thunder, enhancing my speed and strength significantly. My second eye allows me to create powerful barriers."

Matsuda chimed in, "One of my eyes lets me manipulate diamond, bolstering both my defensive capabilities and the strength of my attacks. My other eye enables me to reflect incoming attacks, with the effectiveness of the reflection determined by the attack's power."

Emiko revealed her abilities, saying, "My Mangekyo Sharingan allows me to control the water element, enhancing my strength and agility. My other eye grants me the power to heal both myself and others from injuries."

Hiroshi concluded, "One of my eyes grants me mastery over the wind element, amplifying my strength and agility. My other eye can create a vacuum within a specific range, currently extending up to 20 meters."

Karan absorbed the information, his appreciation for his skilled subordinates deepening. These extraordinary abilities held the key to their success in the challenges that lay ahead.

"I'm pleased that you've awakened these remarkable abilities," Karan remarked. "With them, you'll undoubtedly become formidable. However, I must emphasize the importance of restraint. For now, it's crucial that you refrain from excessive use. Over time, your blood concentration will align with that of our ancestor, Indra. Only then will you have the freedom to wield your Mangekyo Sharingan without constraint. But I must caution you – overuse of the Mangekyo Sharingan before reaching that point could lead to blindness, a risk we cannot afford."

Karan sternly warned his subordinates about the potential side effects of their newfound powers.

"Master Karan, we understand the gravity of the situation," each subordinate affirmed in unison.

"Very well," Karan continued. "Now that you've returned, resume your duties. Today marks the inauguration of the Fourth Hokage, and security must be flawless. I need you to relay this message to every Uchiha ninja in the Konoha Police Force – they must remain vigilant."

Nakamura assured their leader, saying, "Master Karan, you need not worry. We will ensure order is maintained without any incident."

Inside the dimly lit confines of the ROOT base, an urgent report echoed through the shadows.

"Danzo-Sama, Uchiha Karan's subordinates have successfully returned to Konoha," a ROOT ninja relayed, bowing respectfully before Danzo.

Danzo's expression soured with frustration. "Uchiha Karan," he muttered through gritted teeth. "Not only have your subordinates caused the deaths of many of my trusted ROOT ninjas, but they return as if untouched by our efforts."

In the midst of Danzo's vexation, an unexpected disturbance rippled through the room. A small vortex of space materialized within the ROOT base, and from it emerged a mysterious figure. The interloper donned a mask and was cloaked in a dark overcoat, instantly setting the room's occupants on edge.

Every ROOT ninja present swiftly drew their weapons, poised for a confrontation with this uninvited guest.
