Naruto: I am Uchiha Fugaku

"You have a way to break free from surveillance, Clan Head? "

Great Elder Uchiha Shana looked at Uchiha Fugaku with anticipation.

"Yes."

Fugaku nodded firmly.

"I do have a way, but it can only allow a small number of people to slip past surveillance."

"Even a few people are enough to strike back at the Shimura Clan. What is your plan, Clan Head? "

Second Elder Uchiha Mori asked, both curious and hopeful.

"Come out."

Fugaku turned his gaze to an empty corner of the room and gave the order.

Immediately, five figures slowly emerged from the ground.

Everyone present turned their eyes toward them in surprise.

When they got a clear look, they couldn't help but feel puzzled.

The five figures looked exactly the same—as if they were made from the same mold. Even more shocking, they all looked just like Fugaku himself.

These were clearly the Clan Head's shadow clones.

But the elders and jonin didn't understand. Why did Fugaku create five shadow clones? Could this be the method he was referring to?

"Clan Head, these are your clones. Do you mean to use them to throw off the surveillance? "

Second Elder Mori frowned.

He didn't believe ordinary shadow clones could fool the elite ANBU assigned to monitor them. Even if they used the Transformation Jutsu, it would be difficult to trick ANBU, who could detect differences through scent and chakra fluctuations.

Fugaku smiled and calmly explained:

"Yes, these are my clones. But they are different from ordinary shadow clones."

"They can use a special ninjutsu called the Disguise Technique. It allows them to perfectly imitate another person's body, appearance, scent, and chakra signature."

"No one in Konoha, at least right now, can tell the difference."

As far as Fugaku knew, the only one who could see through this was Naruto Uzumaki in his Nine-Tails Mode—but Naruto was just a young child now, nowhere near that level of power.

"Is that really possible? "

The three elders and the four elite jonin exchanged looks, skeptical.

From Fugaku's description alone, the Disguise Technique sounded flawless. Could such a perfect jutsu really exist?

"You'll know once you see it for yourselves."

Fugaku smiled, motioning for one of the spore clones to step forward.

The clone walked over to Uchiha Wenzi, reached out to touch him, and copied his scent and chakra.

Crack—

The spore clone's form began to change.

Its height shrank to match Uchiha Wenzi's, and its appearance shifted to perfectly resemble him.

Its chakra and scent transformed as well—becoming identical to Wenzi's.

"This…"

Wenzi activated his Sharingan, staring in disbelief at the figure before him.

It looked exactly like him. Even he couldn't tell the difference.

Under the Sharingan's scrutiny, there was no trace of a transformation jutsu.

He couldn't verify the scent and chakra fluctuations on the spot, but there were no visual signs of any disguise.

"Incredible… absolutely incredible! "

The three elders, along with Uchiha Min, Uchiha Ara, and Uchiha Yakumi, activated their Sharingan as well, trying to tell the real and fake apart.

But none of them could. The clone was indistinguishable from the real person.

"If it's really able to perfectly imitate chakra and scent, then it can definitely fool the ANBU's surveillance."

Third Elder Uchiha Shi said, his voice slightly excited.

He had never seen a Transformation Technique this perfect. Not even Orochimaru's Face-Stealing Technique could compare.

"Clan Head, can others learn this Disguise Technique too? "

Second Elder Mori asked hopefully.

If more people could learn this technique, the Uchiha Clan could secretly move a large number of people out of Konoha.

They could ambush Shimura Clan members on missions and eventually wipe out the entire Shimura Clan.

And after destroying the Shimura Clan, they could immediately move on to eliminating the traitor Uchiha Shisui.

"No."

Fugaku shook his head.

After a brief pause, he explained,

"This is actually a kekkei genkai technique. The reason I can use it is because one of my ocular powers lets me copy other people's bloodline abilities."

He figured it was only a matter of time before this was discovered anyway, so he chose to reveal part of the truth now.

However, he left out one crucial detail: his ability to fuse similar bloodline powers, enhancing them.

That was the true terrifying strength of his ocular power.

"You can copy kekkei genkai? "

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Copying another person's kekkei genkai and using it as your own—just hearing it, they could tell how powerful this ability was.

"No wonder the injuries on Uchiha Qian's body looked like they were caused by a Wood Release user."

Great Elder Shana suddenly understood.

He had personally examined Uchiha Qian's body and confirmed that the wounds were caused by Wood Release. He had assumed an outside Wood Release ninja was responsible.

But in reality, Qian had been killed by Fugaku.

Now, it made sense how Fugaku had left wounds consistent with Wood Release: because his ocular ability could copy bloodline limits like Wood Release.

Once the shock wore off, Fugaku spoke again.

"There are five spore clones in total. That means five people can be replaced."

"Now let's decide which five people will leave the village to strike back at the Shimura Clan."

After some discussion, they made their decision.

The five chosen were Uchiha Ara, Uchiha Min, Uchiha Yakumi, Uchiha Wenzi, and Fugaku himself.

The three elders wanted to participate as well, but considering their age and declining stamina, Fugaku vetoed it.

—

That Day

The five quietly prepared to leave.

That Night

When the village was silent and dark, they made their move.

Even in the dead of night, ANBU continued to vigilantly watch over the Uchiha compound.

But Fugaku used the Mayfly Technique to easily evade their surveillance, slipping underground and leaving the village without a trace.

As for Yakumi, Ara, Wenzi, and Min, each was carried by a spore clone using the Mayfly Technique to sneak past the watchers.

Once they escaped, the four spore clones transformed into the appearances of Yakumi, Ara, Wenzi, and Min and returned to the village—maintaining the illusion that no one had left.

Meanwhile, the real five split up outside the village, moving swiftly away from Konoha.

Their goal: locate the Shimura Clan members who were out on missions and eliminate them.
