"I wanted to clear those Sarutobi clan members whom the Uchiha police force captured but didn't have a proper reason. I don't want to create an image of a strict person in my clan. So when the Uchiha police force captured them, it was a good chance to bring down Takoma from his high position in the Uchiha clan and clean those trash. But crossing the line to kill my son, Uchiha Karan went too far," said Sarutobi Hiruzen with a cold face.

Danzo wasn't surprised by this because this was the real face of Hiruzen.

"Maybe Takoma is also involved," said Danzo.

"No, he would not sacrifice his clan members solely based on differing opinions. It is more likely that Uchiha Karan is responsible for this, and Takoma might not even be aware of it," replied Hiruzen, showing his understanding of Uchiha Takoma's character.

At that moment, there was a knock on Hiruzen's door, and his face calmed down again.

"Come in!" said Hiruzen.

A ninja entered the room. It was a member of ROOT.

"Danzo-sama, this is the information sent by spies from Kirigakure," said the ROOT ninja, handing over a scroll.

Danzo took the scroll, read it, and his face changed. He then handed the scroll to Hiruzen. Hiruzen read it, closed his eyes, and at that moment, Danzo waved his hand towards the ROOT ninja. The ROOT ninja understood and immediately left the room, closing the door.

Hiruzen opened his eyes and asked, "Danzo, do you have the list of Uchiha clan members whose bodies were found?"

Danzo nodded and gave Hiruzen another scroll. After reading it, Hiruzen understood everything.

"Now I understand. This Karan is wiser than we thought. Look at these names. Aren't they members of the Dove faction and the spies planted by me?"

"He used them as bait for Kirigakure and used Kirigakure ninjas as bait for members of our clans, giving our clan members a chance to perform a meritorious service. But it was clearly a trap for both of us. By doing this, he seeks revenge on both us and Kirigakure. Not to mention, after he destroyed Kirigakure's supplies, the pressure on Kirigakure increased even more. By doing this, he has added a meritorious service to his career, while my son and the other clan members of our Hokage faction have suffered annihilation."

"So what are you planning to do next?" asked Danzo.

"If Karan reaches the battlefield, as the most powerful and influential person, he will surely be able to take over as the chief of the army easily. So I order you to immediately go to the battlefield and take over as the chief of the army," said Hiruzen.

"And what about Uchiha Karan?" asked Danzo.

"If possible, try to assassinate him, because we can't touch him officially," said Hiruzen, and don't forget about Takoma.

Danzo nodded and stood up. Before Danzo left, Hiruzen gave a word of caution, "Try not to conflict with him directly. After the information on his strength, it seems his strength is even superior to his father."

After Danzo left, Biwa came out of her room and said, "So you're just letting that Uchiha Karan live? He's the murderer of our son."

Hiruzen stood up and said, "Although we suspect that it might be Uchiha Karan who did it, we don't have anything to prove if it was him or not, or even if Uchiha clan members intervened in that battle."

"Then what's the use of you being a Hokage?" said Biwa angrily.

"It's this seat that is binding me, If I weren't Hokage, then by now I would have killed Uchiha Karan. As a Hokage, my every move is seen by the families in Konoha," said Hiruzen.

"Don't worry, I have sent Danzo. He will surely find a way to kill Uchiha Karan," assured Uchiha Karan.

-----

Somewhere in the Tea Country, a small camp was made by Uchiha clan members. At this moment, fifteen masked members entered the camp.

One by one, they opened their masks. They were Uchiha Karan and his subordinates with the Jonins of the Uchiha Clan.

"You all rest well. We will join the Konoha camp tomorrow noon. Now we can't procrastinate," said Karan.

"Congratulations, leader. Tomorrow you will surely become the chief of the army," said one of the Jonins, congratulating Uchiha Karan.

"It's impossible. Maybe someone will be sent to be Chief of the army. The Hokage will never allow anyone from the Uchiha clan to be Chief of the army. So don't be delusional and go and rest," said Uchiha Karan.

After saying that, he went to the tent made for him and looked to the left, shaking his head. "It seems that I have to learn sealing."

As before, the ninja sword was summoned back by Mangetsu. "If I get a chance, then I will take that summoning scroll from Mangetsu," muttered Karan.

"I have to tell father about this as well. I know he will be very angry and may not talk to me for a long time, but whatever," said Karan.

Karan knew that his father would be very angry and may not talk to him for a long time because his father is strictly against killing his clan members unless they are traitors. He has killed so many people just because they belong to the Dove faction.
