Naruto: I am Uchiha Fugaku

If we transplant a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Subject One's power might just reach Elite Jonin level!

The Sharingan offers a huge boost in power. Equipping Subject One with the strongest Three-Tomoe Sharingan (the most powerful type before the Mangekyo Sharingan) could very well elevate him from Jonin to Elite Jonin.

The more Uchiha Fugaku thought about it, the more plausible this possibility seemed, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. An elite Jonin-level combatant—even the highly talented Uchiha clan only had a few of those. Adding another, especially one who was absolutely loyal, offered undeniable benefits.

"I don't specialize in medical ninjutsu, but as the clan leader, I don't need to be proficient in everything."

Uchiha Fugaku had no intention of doing everything himself. Rather than learning medical ninjutsu now and performing a clumsy eye transplant on Subject One, it would be better to find a clan member highly skilled in medical ninjutsu to complete the task. This would undoubtedly lead to a higher success rate.

"Who should perform this eye transplant jutsu?"

He considered Uchiha Mikoto, who was a medical ninja skilled in medical ninjutsu. However, after some thought, he decided against choosing her. The existence of the Spore Clone had to be kept secret from Uchiha Itachi. If Uchiha Mikoto were to keep it secret from Itachi, she would have to be informed that Itachi was a double agent. At this stage, he had no intention of revealing Itachi's status as a double agent to Uchiha Mikoto.

Having dismissed Uchiha Mikoto, Uchiha Fugaku considered other options. Soon, another person came to mind: Uchiha Aya.

Uchiha Aya, a Jonin, was Uchiha Mikoto's classmate from the Ninja Academy. Like Uchiha Mikoto, she was also a medical ninja, and her medical ninjutsu skills were on par with Mikoto's. She was among the most skilled medical ninjas in the Uchiha clan. Thanks to her Sharingan, which granted her powerful observational abilities, she had a unique advantage in surgical ninjutsu like eye transplants compared to other medical ninjas in the Hidden Leaf Village. He could completely trust her to perform the eye transplant.

Uchiha Fugaku exited the secret room and went outside, summoning an Uchiha clan member responsible for security in the vicinity.

"Go fetch Uchiha Aya and bring her here!"

"Yes, sir."

The Uchiha clan member departed and soon returned, followed by a woman. The woman was of above-average appearance, and her figure was well-toned due to the rigorous training of a ninja. This was Uchiha Aya.

"Clan Leader."

Upon seeing Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Aya greeted him respectfully.

"Hmm."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and then said, "I have a mission for you, as you're skilled in medical ninjutsu. Follow me."

Leading Uchiha Aya, Uchiha Fugaku went into the underground secret room.

"These are...?"

Seeing the numerous Uchiha Fugaku clones in the underground secret room, Uchiha Aya was surprised. She couldn't understand why Uchiha Fugaku had created so many shadow clones.

"These are my clones, but they aren't ordinary shadow clones. They possess flesh and blood bodies and won't vanish even if attacked."

"Currently, only the three elders and the clan's Elite Jonin know about this. This matter must not be revealed to anyone."

Uchiha Fugaku explained and instructed. He wasn't worried that Uchiha Aya might be a double agent for the Third Hokage; Uchiha Yakumi had previously investigated Uchiha Aya and confirmed that she was not.

"Yes, sir."

Uchiha Aya quickly responded.

The two walked one after another into a room connected to the main hall.

This room was about 200-300 square meters. Inside, there was an operating table and numerous surgical instruments. Along the wall, there were many square glass tanks, each several tens of centimeters in length, width, and height. Each glass tank contained a liquid, and submerged in the liquid were pairs of reddish eyes with root-like nerves.

These eyes were all Sharingan, obtained from the bodies of deceased Uchiha clan members who fell in battle. The Sharingan was a highly coveted bloodline limit, and if these clan members' eyes weren't removed, their bodies might even be stolen. Therefore, within the Uchiha clan, whenever a member who had awakened the Sharingan died, their eyes would be removed. These removed Sharingan could then be reused as new eyes for clan members who had lost their sight in combat. The operating table and surgical instruments in this room existed precisely for such surgeries for Uchiha clan members.

"Subject One."

Uchiha Fugaku called out, and Subject One walked in. Then, Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Aya.

"I need you to transplant a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan into him. Can you do it?"

"Clan Leader, I don't know what kind of entity your clone is, but ordinarily, people who receive Sharingan transplants experience severe rejection."

"It would be necessary to go to the Hidden Leaf Village Hospital and undergo multiple tests to determine if an eye transplant is even feasible."

Uchiha Aya's expression was slightly serious.

"Don't worry about that. I can assure you he will perfectly adapt to the Sharingan."

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and then said, "You just need to tell me if you have the ability to perform the eye transplant!"

"Yes, I have the ability to complete the eye transplant."

Uchiha Aya nodded definitively.

"Good. I'll leave it to you then. Transplant a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan into him."

Uchiha Fugaku pointed to the glass tanks along the wall.

"As for the eyes, you can take them from there."

"Yes, sir."

Uchiha Aya nodded and began to prepare for the eye transplant surgery, while Uchiha Fugaku exited the room and returned to the main hall.

A little over an hour later, Uchiha Aya emerged from the room and entered the main hall.

"Clan Leader, I've completed the eye transplant. The surgery was a success, and there was no rejection."

"Additionally, I found that your clone has an extraordinary healing ability. The transplanted eyes should perfectly integrate with him within a few hours at most."

Uchiha Aya wiped the sweat from her forehead, a hint of wonder on her face. The clan leader's clones were truly unique; they possessed flesh and blood bodies and didn't disappear when attacked like shadow clones. Furthermore, their cellular activity was incredibly strong, giving them a natural healing ability far beyond that of ordinary people.

"You've worked hard."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded. He wasn't surprised that the Spore Clone possessed extraordinary healing abilities. The Spore Clone had properties of the Hashirama Cells. Although this trait wasn't as strong as Hashirama Senju's, who could instantly recover from severe injuries, it was still enough to give the Spore Clones a healing ability superior to that of ordinary people.

"Clan Leader, I'll take my leave then."

Having completed her task, Uchiha Aya bid farewell and departed. Uchiha Fugaku saw her off and then returned. A few hours wasn't a long time, so he decided to wait there, reviewing scrolls while observing the effects of Subject One's eye transplant.
