Ch-3 Escape from fire country and Aftermath

at
Shinnoske was a witness to a horrifying event - the death of his 11 comrades at the hands of Uchiha Karan. As he looked on, a shiver ran down his spine and he broke out into a cold sweat. He realized that he needed to slow down Uchiha Karan's pace of attack or else things would turn out even worse for their team. To make matters worse, he was filled with a sense of anger and frustration. During the mission, he had managed to keep all of his teammates safe, yet in the face of Uchiha Karan's ruthless attack, he had lost 11 of them. It was particularly galling because the people who had been killed were far from weak. Two of them had been Special Jonin, and the others were Elite Chunin. Shinnoske's team had originally consisted of 16 members, including one Elite Jonin (himself), three Jonins, two Special Jonins, and the rest Elite Chunins. Now, only he and three Jonins remained, leaving them with an uphill battle to complete their mission.

"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld"

Shinnoske unleashed his ninjutsu, causing the ground around Uchiha Karan to transform into a swampy mess, slowing down his movements. The other Jonins on the team also stepped up and used their own unique ninjutsu to assist in the effort. Together, they combined their skills to make it difficult for Uchiha Karan to move and attack with ease.

As Uchiha Karan observed the situation, he swiftly jumped and simultaneously began to perform a sealing technique using one hand.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation"

The unstoppable, purple inferno ravaged everything in its way, obliterating the ninjutsu unleashed by the Jonins. With unrelenting force, the blaze pressed on towards the Jonins, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake.

"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall"

Shinnoske employed the technique "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall" to shield himself from the fiery ninjutsu, yet despite the sturdy barricade, he could sense the intense heat emanating from the flames.

Seizing the moment, Uchiha Karan closed in on a Jonin and swiftly ended their life. He repeated this tactic with the other Jonins, leaving only Shinnoske as the remaining opponent.

"You heartless scum! You won't leave a single one alive, will you? You won't escape Konoha, and after taking the lives of my comrades, I'll never let you live!" Shinnoske growled through clenched teeth, his anger palpable.

"It's done! You're well aware of my reasons for doing this. Anyway, the deceased have no need for excessive communication."

Having spoken these words, Uchiha Karan utilized the Thunder Instantaneous Technique, appearing immediately in front of Shinnoske and slicing through him with his sword.

"Bang"

A wood appeared.

"Substitution technique"

Karan was aware of the rule that villains often meet their demise due to excessive talking. Sensing Sarutobi Shinnoske's location, he refrained from wasting words and swiftly launched another attack.

"Instantaneous thunder technique chop"

By combining the Instantaneous Technique with his swordsmanship, Karan executed a flawless strike that ended Sarutobi Shinnoske's life. As Shinnoske closed his eyes for the last time, his expression revealed a mix of regret, anger, and fear.

Observing the destruction wrought by his battle, Uchiha Karan made his way towards the site of his initial attack.

"Get up. I know you're still alive," he said.

A fair-skinned man stood up, trembling with fear as he gazed upon Uchiha Karan. Despite being trained in Anbu, he refused to back down, as Anbu members were known to be elite.

Karan calmly looked at the ninja and said, "You're a sensory type ninja, aren't you? Don't worry, I won't kill you. At least, not for now."

After activating his Mangekyo Sharingan, Karan gazed into the man's eyes for five minutes before setting off towards the Country of Rivers, continuing his journey.

As if a puppet, the man began gathering the corpses of his comrades and sealing them in a scroll. Once he had sealed each body, he departed towards the Hidden Leaf Village.
.....

In the Hokage office of Konoha village, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat upon the Hokage seat while receiving a report from an Anbu member. Shortly before, he had bid farewell to the Fourth Hokage and his wife, Uzumaki Kushina. After leaving their son Uzumaki Naruto in the care of a nurse, Hiruzen hurried to the Hokage office, aware that there were numerous pressing matters to attend to. With the Fourth Hokage's passing, he was to assume the position of Hokage.

The Anbu member reported that, "as per your instructions, Hokage Sama, all Konoha residents who lost their homes have been provided with a suitable place to live and everything else is progressing smoothly."

In a serious tone, the Third Hokage inquired, "What is the status of Uchiha Karan? Have you confirmed his involvement in the rebellion?"

"Yes Hokage Sama! Our sources have confirmed that Uchiha Karan, a member of our village, has engaged in an act of rebellion and has abandoned his post. As he was making his escape, he encountered a group of five Root members who attempted to detain him, but were swiftly neutralized by Uchiha Karan. It is worth noting that the entire confrontation lasted no longer than one minute.
Interestingly, this encounter was witnessed by a member of the Aburame clan who had employed their clan's unique insects to observe the situation from a distance. The insect observer has reported that Uchiha Karan appeared to be cognizant of its presence, as he cast a sidelong glance towards the direction of the bug and even seemed to smirk in its direction."said the kneeling Anbu member.

As Hokage for many years, Sarutobi possessed the acumen to recognize why Uchiha Karan had knowledge of the Aburame clan and why he had spared the Aburame insect observer's life. It was a deliberate display of power intended to impress upon the Hokage the risks of acting recklessly against him. Uchiha Karan sought to convey his dominance and make it clear that any attempt to subdue him would be met with dire consequences.

"Alas! The passing of Minato and the subsequent rebellion have caused quite a headache."said Sarutobi Hiruzen while rubbing his head.

"What about Shinnoske? When will he return?"asked Sarutobi hiruzen.

"Based on the available information, Shinnoske-sama has successfully accomplished his mission and is expected to return tomorrow morning."the Anbu member said.

Upon hearing this news, Sarutobi experienced a sense of positivity and satisfaction. However, despite these positive emotions, he couldn't shake off an unexplainable feeling of unease that had taken hold of his heart.

"Alright, you should get some rest since you have been working all night. Additionally, please inform all the family patriarchs and Jonins to attend the meeting tomorrow morning."said the third Hokage.

"Yes!"after saying that Anbu member left with instantaneous technique.

(A/N: One my reader asked if the fire style and thunder style are Blaze style and Dark style respectively. I would say no because both styles have a proper description.
Blaze style: When sasuke use his Amatarasu and control it is called blaze style.
Dark style:It's ability of absorbing and using chakra according to the user.
For now I will keep it as change in nature of chakra only not any perticular style.)
