Both Jinpachi and Shinnosuke shared the same thought that it might have been Sunagakure who seized the opportunity amidst their conflict and launched an attack, inflicting significant losses upon them.
As they pondered over the identity of the culprit who had trapped them, a sudden emergence of several individuals sprang forth from the ground. Each of these individuals had their Sharingan activated, and as they took their place on the ground, a large contingent of Uchiha Clan ninjas emerged from the very holes created by these mysterious figures.
"Uchiha Clan!?" exclaimed Jinpachi and Shinnosuke, their faces filled with shock. Their gaze fell upon a young boy with white hair, his Sharingan blazing with intensity as he stood in the center, his countenance icy and unwavering. As his cold eyes locked onto both Jinpachi and Shinnosuke, a wave of apprehension washed over them, causing cold sweat to trickle down their brows. They knew all too well the identity of this person: Uchiha Karan, a force to be reckoned with.
Shinnosuke calmed down and took a step back from Jinpachi. He looked at Uchiha Karan from a distance and said, "Uchiha Karan, it's good that you created a barrier around. Now it's impossible for these Kirigakure ninjas to escape."
"Sarutobi Shinnosuke, son of the Hokage, are you truly a fool or are you merely pretending to be one?" Karan responded, his voice devoid of any emotion.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by that?" Shinnosuke asked, his expression turning displeased.
"After you conspired to kill members of my Uchiha clan, do you honestly believe I would save you in any way?" Uchiha Karan calmly replied.
Then, he turned his gaze toward the Uchiha Clan ninjas and stated, "They are now exhausted, and even if they were not, if you were to perish at the hands of weakened opponents, you would not deserve to be called Uchiha."
As Karan's commanding voice echoed through the air, sending ripples of anticipation among the Uchiha clan ninjas, they immediately sprang into action with unparalleled agility. Their synchronized movements mirrored the meticulous planning they had undertaken prior to this momentous battle. Like a well-oiled machine, they swiftly formed a united front, ready to unleash their formidable skills upon their adversaries.
Utilizing a potent combination of Fire Release techniques and expertly executed throwing maneuvers, the Uchiha warriors unleashed a relentless assault. Their flames danced with deadly precision, engulfing their opponents in a blazing inferno, while projectiles soared through the air with unerring accuracy. The chaos that had consumed the ninjas from Kirigakure and Konoha during their internal conflicts had left them weary and depleted, rendering them vulnerable to the Uchiha's calculated onslaught. Only a handful managed to summon the strength to defend themselves, as the majority succumbed to the overwhelming force of the Uchiha Clan's ferocious first wave of attack.
Amidst the chaos and destruction, Shinnoske, his face etched with fury, directed his rage-filled gaze towards Karan, a pillar of defiance in the midst of the turmoil. His voice resonated with a mix of incredulity and outrage as he bellowed, "Uchiha Karan, are you intending to rebel by orchestrating such a heinous act?"
A wry smile curved Karan's lips as he met Shinnoske's gaze, unyielding in the face of confrontation. "Rebel? Ah, but my dear son of Hokage, rebellion is only realized if this secret endeavor were to reach the ears of the higher-ups, wouldn't you agree?" he retorted, his voice dripping with mockingly subtle sarcasm. His eyes glinted with an unwavering confidence, challenging anyone to question his audacious actions. "Nevertheless, let us ponder a profound question, my friend: Can anyone truly escape the clutches of this meticulously woven web you find yourselves in?"
After uttering his words with conviction, Karan leaped agilely into the abyss, where a multitude of highly skilled ninjas from Kirigakure and Konoha eagerly awaited his arrival. With unwavering determination, he firmly grasped his gleaming Katana, ready to engage in a deadly dance. Drawing upon his mastery of the Water Breathing Third Form: Flowing Dance, Karan seamlessly glided through the adversaries, his movements mirroring the graceful flow of a serene river.
As if wielding the power of a torrential current, Karan effortlessly dispatched any ninja foolish enough to challenge him. In their futile attempts to strike back or defend themselves, the ninjas met their demise swiftly, their lives extinguished as easily as a flickering flame. The body count rose exponentially as Karan, fueled by an unyielding purpose, continued his merciless assault.
Notwithstanding Karan's formidable prowess, he was not alone in this perilous endeavor. His loyal subordinates, motivated by a shared purpose, sprang into action alongside him. Like a synchronized symphony of destruction, they too embarked on a ruthless rampage, cutting down their foes with calculated precision. Together, they unleashed chaos upon the battlefield, each strike adding to the mounting casualties.
Meanwhile, Jinpachi and Shinnoske, spectators to this carnage, viewed the unfolding spectacle from different perspectives. Jinpachi, burdened with the weight of his own predicament, felt a profound sense of relief. This respite allowed him to replenish his dwindling chakra, offering a glimmer of hope for his eventual triumph or escape from Karan's clutches.
In stark contrast, Shinnoske, the son of the Hokage, experienced a mix of anguish and admiration. Despite the anguish that permeated his heart, he recognized the sacrifice of those fighting on his behalf. In their valiant efforts to secure his survival, they embodied the noble spirit of selflessness and the unwavering resolve known as the true will of fire. Thus, in the midst of pain and sorrow, a glimmer of hope emerged, fueled by the belief that their sacrifices would lead to a greater good.
