Upon learning that the visitors were indeed the formidable subordinates of Uchiha Karan, a solemn hush fell over the assembly. The reputation of Uchiha Karan and the recent exploits of his subordinates in the Third Ninja World War had preceded them.

In response, the Daimyo, acknowledging the gravity of the situation, commanded, "Bring them inside."

The Samurai Soldier, following the Daimyo's order, nodded and departed to escort Uchiha Karan's subordinates into the mansion.

However, one of the Clan Heads, expressing his concerns, addressed the Daimyo, "Daimyo-Sama, is it wise to allow Uchiha Karan's subordinates entry here? Their power is widely known."

The Daimyo, exuding confidence and determination, responded, "What do you have to fear? The strength of those gathered here is comparable to S-rank ninja. There is nothing to fear from Uchiha Karan's subordinates."

The other Clan Heads nodded in agreement after absorbing the Daimyo's reassuring words.

Shortly, Uchiha Karan's subordinates arrived within the Daimyo's mansion. They positioned themselves respectfully before the Daimyo and offered a slight bow as a show of respect for his position.

The Daimyo, acknowledging their presence, inclined his head slightly and inquired, "What brings you here?"

Nakamura, representing the group, stepped forward and addressed the Daimyo, "My name is Nakamura, and we are the subordinates of Master Uchiha Karan. We have been sent by Master Karan to discuss certain terms with you."

Curious, the Daimyo inquired, "What kind of terms?"

Nakamura explained, "Master Karan is willing to share 'Breathing Techniques' with the Iron Country, enhancing its strength. In exchange, he requests that the Iron Country becomes his vassal, essentially falling under the dominion of Master Karan."

At the mention of these terms, the Clan Heads and even the General of the Iron Country leaped to their feet, their swords drawn, voices raised in outrage. Each one was poised to attack Nakamura and the other subordinates of Uchiha Karan.

Nakamura and his companions, however, remained composed. They were fully aware that the Iron Country's samurai would react fiercely to this proposition.

The Daimyo gestured with a commanding hand for everyone to fall silent, and in compliance, all present returned to their seats, albeit with their skepticism and concerns still evident on their faces. With the room now hushed, the Daimyo turned his attention to Nakamura and posed a pressing question, "Is the 'Breathing Technique' you speak of truly potent enough to compel us to serve under Uchiha Karan? What sets this technique apart, and why is it so special?"

Nakamura proceeded to elucidate, "The 'Breathing Technique' that Master Karan offers is exceptionally rare. It empowers samurai to infuse their attacks with chakra natures, effectively enabling the use of chakra nature transformations. There are five different 'Breathing Techniques,' each corresponding to a distinct chakra nature."

As Nakamura described the capabilities of the 'Breathing Technique,' those in the meeting hall who had initially been skeptical grew increasingly shocked. The samurai's inability to utilize chakra natures in their attacks was a well-known limitation. Now, the prospect of overcoming this weakness with the 'Breathing Technique' left everyone stunned.

The Daimyo, still processing the information, sought clarification, "Is what you're saying the truth?"

Nakamura responded, "Of course, we have no reason to deceive you. However, there is a caveat: not everyone possesses the talent to master the 'Breathing Technique.'"

The Daimyo nodded, probing further, "But how can we trust you?"

Nakamura replied, "Your belief in us is secondary. You can only obtain the 'Breathing Technique' by first accepting Master Karan's proposal."

The Daimyo inquired, "Have you brought the 'Breathing Technique' with you?"

Nakamura confirmed, "Yes."

At this point, one of the ministers couldn't help but jest, "Then, why should we allow you to leave here alive? We could simply take the 'Breathing Technique' for ourselves."

Nakamura's response was laced with confidence as he explained, "Our strength is what gives us this confidence." With that declaration, his Sharingan transformed into Mangekyo Sharingan, and a colossal fiery orange skeleton, the Susanoo, emerged to envelop Nakamura and the other subordinates of Uchiha Karan.

A perplexed Samurai Clan Head inquired, "What is this?"

Samurai soldiers within the meeting hall, believing Nakamura was about to launch an attack, unsheathed their swords and attacked, only to discover that their strikes had absolutely no effect upon the colossal skeleton. The sheer force of their blows, which could easily shatter a thick wall, failed to make even the slightest impact on the formidable construct.

Nakamura dispelled his Susanoo and calmly revealed, "Had we not come here with the intention of negotiation, rest assured we could have reduced this country to dust for what was just said. My companions possess strength equal to my own."

The Daimyo, his expression now solemn, rose from his seat and declared, "It was never my intention to harm you. We samurai hold ourselves to an unwavering code of honor. As for your proposal, although it is tempting, I, as the Daimyo of the Iron Country, must decline any subservience to Uchiha Karan."

Turning to the soldiers in the hall, the Daimyo issued a stern order, "Take this minister into custody. If he doesn't commit seppuku, his family will be stripped of their noble status."

Nakamura, seemingly indifferent to the minister's fate, remarked, "Very well. We respect your decision."

With this, Nakamura and the other subordinates of Uchiha Karan left the Daimyo's mansion, employing the 'Body Flicker Technique' to vanish from sight.
