The following day, a formidable team of 200 Uchiha ninjas gathered and assembled under the leadership of Karan. Most of the team members belonged to Uchiha Takoma's faction. They were preparing to head towards the Tea Country battlefield. After a long day of travel, Karan commanded them to set up camp and rest for the night. The plan was to wait for the other clans to catch up, so they could proceed together.

Upon receiving Karan's orders, the team swiftly constructed shelters for everyone within a few hours. Inside his tent, Uchiha Karan was preparing to sleep when a sudden uproar erupted outside. He swiftly rose to his feet, grasping his sword, and exited the tent. Outside, he was met by Emiko, who was running towards him in a rush.

"Master Karan," she said with a sense of urgency, "an army of 500 ninjas from Kirigakure is heading our way. There are 300 approaching from the Tea Country and another 200 from the direction we came."

Karan's expression turned solemn, his face reflecting his deep concern. "It must be those despicable higher echelons from Konoha," Karan remarked with determination. However, he swiftly regained his composure, realizing that he couldn't afford to lose his calm at a critical time like this. Turning to Emiko, he inquired, "What is the composition of their forces?"

Emiko swiftly replied, "There are approximately 20 Jōnin, 80 Chunin, and 100 Genin trailing us, while in the opposite direction, we face 30 Jōnin, 50 Chunin, and the remaining Genin. Among the Jōnin, there are three members of the dreaded Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

Absorbing this information, Karan nodded thoughtfully. While confident in his abilities to defeat all three Ninja Swordsmen, he knew it would take time. Consequently, he needed to allocate his forces strategically. Inhaling deeply, he made a firm decision. "You, Aiko, and Hiroshi, along with the team of eight Jōnin—comprising one Elite Jōnin—will divide the army in half and engage the forces approaching from our rear. As for me, I will lead the remaining Jōnin in confronting the army advancing from the Tea Country."

Acknowledging Karan's instructions, Emiko nodded and swiftly departed. Following Karan's guidance, she wasted no time in executing the orders, skillfully dividing the Uchiha clan members into two groups. Taking charge of one team, she set out to intercept the approaching enemy forces from the rear. Simultaneously, Nakamura assumed leadership of the other team and began their journey towards the Tea Country. Along the way, Karan joined the army, his presence reinforcing their resolve.

...

Simultaneously, a formidable team of 300 individuals, led by three renowned figures from Kirigakure, embarked on their journey towards the Uchiha camp. Among them were Jinin Akebino, the wielder of Kabutowari; Kushimaru Kuriarare, who possessed Nuibari; and Jūzō Biwa, the formidable wielder of Kubikiribōchō. As they made their way, Jūzō Biwa addressed the team with a determined tone. "Remember, everyone, our mission is to eliminate every single Uchiha ninja. We cannot afford to miss this golden opportunity, as it may not present itself again anytime soon."

"But what if the other clans from Konoha's army interfere?" questioned one of the team members.

Jūzō Biwa responded confidently, "No need to worry. They have been resting for a day and will only resume their movement tomorrow."

Jinin Akebino expressed skepticism, saying, "Isn't it too coincidental?"

Disregarding the concern, Jūzō Biwa emphasized, "Who cares about coincidences? Our primary goal is to weaken Konoha. Killing that Crimson Eye Demon will not only achieve that but also enhance our reputation."

"Indeed, I've heard rumors that there's someone in his team wielding a weapon similar to mine," Jinin Akebino exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "I'm eagerly anticipating the opportunity to face them in combat."

Finally, the two sides converged, standing firmly opposite each other. Jinin Akebino grasped his sword tightly, his gaze fixed upon Matsuda, prepared to engage him in battle at any given moment. In this critical moment, Karan's voice resounded loudly, reaching everyone present. "I am aware that their numbers outnumber us, but remember, we are Uchiha! Fight with unwavering focus, ensuring our survival and the survival of our comrades. Attack with all your strength!"

Upon hearing Karan's words, a wave of determination surged through every Uchiha present, igniting their spirits. With resolute shouts, they charged forward, racing towards the Kirigakure ninjas to launch their fierce assault.

Meanwhile, Karan locked eyes with the members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and spoke with a tinge of gratitude, "I must express my appreciation to you for gathering your Jōnin in one location."

Assuming a formidable stance, Karan unleashed the Sun Breathing Dancing Flash technique, his speed so astonishing that the members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen barely had time to comprehend his words. In a blur of crimson, fifteen Jōnin heads were severed and suspended in mid-air within a matter of seconds.

With utmost composure, Uchiha Karan calmly sheathed his sword behind the group of Jōnin, his presence radiating a sense of unrivaled strength.
