🕑 Added 2023-05-27 08:52:57 +0000 UTCAt that time, Hiruzen was using a crystal ball and saw Uchiha Karan showing him the middle finger. He didn't care about Uchiha Karan's behaviour as he considered it childish, but he wasn't expecting Uchiha Karan's ability to perceive his peeping through the crystal ball. Only a few people in Konoha can perceive his peeping through the Crystal Ball Jutsu, and all of them are almost at Kage level.
In the meeting room, Hiruzen wasn't alone. His friends Danzo, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane were also present.
Koharu said, "This bastard knows that you must be the Hokage, and yet he dared to do such a thing."
Danzo said, "What would you expect from a member of the Evil clan?"
"Enough, Danzo. He is just a child," said Hiruzen.
"Is he? Based on what he did today, if given time to grow, he might cause a rebellion against Konoha. He must be removed," said Danzo.
"Yes, Hiruzen, I agree. Uchiha Karan must be removed, or else he might plant the seeds of rebellion in every Uchiha's mind," said Homura.
"I understand, but you must consider whose son he is. If he dies at a time like this, Takoma can almost remove half of the Uchiha clan members from the battlefield, and none of us would like to see that," said Hiruzen calmly.
"Leave such matters to me. If I can make the Senju clan disappear, then what is Uchiha Karan?" said Danzo with a cruel smile on his face.
Hiruzen looked at Danzo with a stern expression and said, "Do not repeat such things again."
Seeing Hiruzen's stern face, Danzo nodded helplessly.
…………
The next morning at the village gate, almost 600 Uchiha clan members were assembled, along with 1200 civilian ninjas, ready to go to the battlefield.
At that moment, the Hokage arrived with his advisors and the heads of different clans. Additionally, his three apprentices were accompanied by Minato, the rising star among them.
"I am pleased to see that the Uchiha clan has taken this battle seriously and sent so many skilled ninjas," said Hiruzen to Fugaku.
"Konoha village is also our village, so it is our duty to protect it," replied Fugaku.
Hiruzen nodded with a smile upon hearing Fugaku's words.
Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Yeah, unlike some clans that stay hundreds of miles away from the battlefield in the name of protecting the Daimyo and ministers."
As soon as the voice spoke, everyone's expression changed. Takoma's face twitched, and he secretly cursed, "This bastard."
It was none other than Uchiha Karan.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Koharu, her face growing cold.
"Nothing, really. One of them was our Second Hokage, who fought bravely alongside his clan members, sacrificing himself and countless Senju clan members. And here, his students' families are far from danger, with his students sitting quietly in their offices, talking about the Will of Fire," Karan said, spreading his hands.
"Bastard, haven't your parents taught you anything? Take him down on charges of trying to confuse the ninjas and instigate infighting," Koharu said.
As soon as Koharu finished speaking, the Anbu ninjas moved to capture Karan. However, almost half of the Uchiha clan members drew their weapons, ready to fight.
"Since when does someone have the guts to touch my son?" a voice sounded behind Koharu. Takoma was standing there.
Koharu turned around to see Takoma's 3-Tomoe Sharingan, and upon seeing it, she started shouting, "NO! STAY AWAY FROM ME! NO, DON'T COME NEAR ME! AARGH!" With this scream, she urinated on the ground and passed out. "Disgusting. Pathetic weakling," Takoma said, remaining still the whole time.
Takoma used, “Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique”
"Enough, Takoma. Let her go," said Hiruzen, ready to attack.
"No one can touch my son, so control your subordinates, or else I don't mind killing them," Takoma said, prepared to fight at any moment.
Hiruzen signaled to the Anbu members, and they left, causing the Uchiha members to also lower their weapons.
However, with Uchiha Karan's question, everyone's gaze shifted somewhat towards Hiruzen, and he knew that if he didn't send his clan members to the battlefield, he would be seen as an inferior Hokage compared to the First and Second Hokages.
"It's not like no ninja from our clan is going to participate. After a few months, half of the clan members will be joining the war because the protection of the Daimyo can't be neglected like this," said Hiruzen.
Karan scoffed in response, and Hiruzen was not in the mood to give a speech on the Will of Fire. He simply said, "Everyone, give your best in this battle, as we have our respective families to protect."
After saying that, Hiruzen left with his advisors, and Koharu was sent to the Konoha hospital.
Takoma approached Karan and said helplessly, "You, kid, you really know how to cause trouble."
After that, Karan departed with the army. Takoma looked at his retreating figure and let out a helpless sigh. Then, he turned towards the Uchiha ninjas and said, "Go and keep an eye on every move of the ANBU and ROOT."

So, on one hand Karan calling out the Hypocrite Quartet is cathartic, but on the other hand, he is very close to crossing the line of insubordination and that, in any military, is a serious crime.
